Ok this is going to sound really stupid but hear me out I'm POSITIVE I didn't delete the videos off my phone.
So yesterday I was out with some friends just chilling and I took some pretty funny videos of some of my friends. To share them with my friends I decided I was gonna upload them to youtube, but I couldnt do it directly from my phone for some reason. So I decided to email both video files via gmail to myself then upload them later on the computer. I check a couple hours later and the message is still sending, because of the amount of memory both videos were I assume, so I decided to give up and just find them on the sd card then move them to my pc. So I delete the message that was sending with the attached files since I wasnt going to go about it that way anymore, but then I go back and look through my phone and notice I cant find the videos. By attaching them to my gmail did I move them off the SD card?
I don't know about your main problem but in order to send pics/videos your carriers mobile data must be on, it will not work if only WiFi is enabled.

Sorry I knew it was too confusing. The uploading wasn't the main problem, my main question is if by me attaching those video files to my email then deleting them while they were still in the sending process, did I basically just delete those files off my sd card too??
It shouldn't have deleted the videos, not sure how that could have happened.

Yeah that's why I'm confused, idk they're no where to be found I guess I did something stupid, im still sure I didnt delete them myself though.. /:
What usually happens with me is the gallery app doesn't read new vids or pics when its running I kill the app & they pop up

I have a problem with the gallery app too!! Looking closely one of the random camera videos, it has a screenshot from a different video I did delete. How is this possible.. I may have deleted the two videos by accident because of this. Is there any sort of trashcan?

So I cant just delete everything in that cache folder? or Just delete the video cache?
I delete the whole file as it will rebuild the cache

Have you tried using a program to locate the deleted files and "undelete" them?

You can "undelete" from SDCARD with 3rd party applications, I have done long time ago. But I am not sure you can do it since android writes/modifies sdcard too much.

I was having trouble finding decent (HD) or there abouts wallpapers for the d2. Im about to sbf and cant seem to locate my current wallpaper again on the web, when I got it, I just long touched on the screen and chose save as wallpaper. Trying to backup all my stuff and for the life of me I cant find this dang file on my phone/sd card. Anyone know where its located? Thanks.

I'm curious where/how the wallpapers are stored as well. Just for kicks, I went to Google Images, searched dragon, and pressed and held a file named red-dragon.jpg, then selected Set as Wallpaper. Using Root Explorer, I went through every folder on my phone, excluding the ~/sdcard, searching for "red-dragon," ".jpg," and "dragon.jpg." None of which gave me any results.
So, sorry to say, but I think the D2 really likes to hide your wallpaper. :/
Did you know that you can actually google how to boil water? In any case, google is your best friend. Rarely picky and almost never down...anyways, back to topic:
I recommend googling: current wallpaper location android. The first hit helped me a little bit into it. It seems there is this folder called data that you can only access once you rooted your device. Since Im in no need to do so and myself new to android I leave you to do whatever you want with this information.
Im also sure that you will need a root file explorer...only guesses though.

Maybe you were too busy being smug to read my post, so I'll just give you the tl:dr version.
I searched through the entire /data folder with Root Explorer for ".jpg" and found nothing when I was using a "red-dragon.jpg" as my background.
Thanks for your mastery of searching on Google though.
I am not rooted but whenever I save wallpapers from the internet on my phone they end up in a folder titled downloads..that shows up in my gallery and when I look at mt sd card..check to cee if you have a folder titled that as well

I think the system puts things like that in a database file. I have my walpaper of a picture I took but it is no where on the phone. It is defined in an xml file but where actually stored i think it is in a DB file. Sorry I can not make the "thumb keyboard" do commas.

I'm going to investigate this hunch further. I'll search the /system folder for all .xml files or database files. I can't say I'm an expert on the matter though, so... No promises on results.

I don't know if you are still looking for this, but if others stumble on this like I did, here's the answer. in the /data/data/com.android.settings/files/ folder there is a file called wallpaper (no extensions). it is actually a jpg file (if you copy it somewhere else and add a .jpg at the end you'll be able to see it)
@tsachi Here is my question: I would like all these lovely wallpapers I downloaded to show up in the dialog when I press Menu...wallpaper then hit the wallpaper button. The same default papers are always there and I would like to move my downloaded wallpapers to where ever that is.

Thanks tsachi. I was able to confirm this. I couldn't see the contents of /data with ES File Explorer, but I was able to do this through adb:
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.android.settings/files/
cp wallpaper /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg
exit
exit
Then I was able to look at it in any image viewer.
Not directly related, but I used adbWireless so that I wouldn't need to connect the usb cable and I'm using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper as my wallpaper switcher.

Hey there,
I wanted to set my Wallpaper manually to avoid cropping when choosing a file in the gallery.
On my Nexus 10 running Android 4.2.1 the wallpaper is found at:
"/data/system/users/0/wallpaper"
The file has no ending but is a jpg file (as sad by others).
If you want to exchange the file with yours remember to set the right permissions.
I dont know exactly how they have to be, but if you give all users at least read access it should work.
After a reboot the new Wallpaper should be set.
My wallpaper now has a resolution of 3966x2560 and there are no black bars anywhere. The system seem so crop it on the fly.
Confirmed on JB 4.2, the location is
/data/system/users/0/wallpaper
Copy wallaper to somewhere else and change its extension to wallpaper.jpg and you are done.

Hello
Sent from my LG-P760 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks, I found it and replaced it there. Anyone got any idea where to find the lockscreen image so I can do the same?
How's everyone doing?
I just jumped ship from the Captivate owners and picked up an Atrix. So far im loving it but have some questions. First off, if I create a folder on the internal sd card and put some movies from my computer on there, is there a way to have those show in my gallery? Or is there a way to create a shortcut on a home screen to the folder with the movies in it? Second question is using the.stock email app, how do you switch between accounts?
I would greatly appreciate any help that can be given. Thanks.

Any videos and pictures will show up in the Gallery no matter where you put it on a external SD card. And just press Menu within the Email app and select Settings and you can change your primary account there.
Oh man I feel so stupid. I checked the videos and didnt see it. Turns out I just didnt realize they were the videos I put on the phone because the thumbnails had some trees and I though it was a video I had taken.
As for the changing of the email accounts, thanks for that info. Somehow I missed that option completely.
so i had a completely stock atrix as of a few days ago, and i decided to dive in head first and start tinkering. im rooted, sideloaded, and gingerblured. and i love it. its fantastic. my problem is that i took a picture of my girlfriend as my wallpaper before flashing gingerblur, and forgot to back anything up. well the flash wiped everything, my wallpaper didnt change, by luck... but i cant seem to find the file anywhere on the atrix. aaaaaand i dont have another copy. anyone have an idea on how i might be able to find it?
really? nobody has any clue?
There are numerous programs that will attempt to recover data from SD cards though I am not sure they will work if the pic was on the internal storage partition on your phone.
Its your girlfriend right?
Take another pic?
I dont remember if i stored it on internal or sd. But being as its still the wallpaper, it has to be cached somewhere, right? And while i could take another picture, perhaps i like the one i have. Id like to excersize my options before giving up. But thank you for that well thought out, very contributory answer shriva. Much obliged...

Try this...
Hook it up to your PC and select "USB Mass Storage". Go to the drive representing your phone in "My Computer" on your PC. Use the windows search function to search *.jpg
See what pops up.

tried the above, but no avail. i was fiddling with root explorer and just kind of exploring things, is it possible its saved in a cache somewhere? i guess the fact that i dont know the file name doesnt make things any easier...

I'm out of ideas then. If you only want it for wallpaper then you could clear off a home screen and use a screenshot app to save a copy, but if it's scrolling when you switch home screens then you're going to miss some of it. Also, depending on your launcher you're going to probably have some visible icons in the dock.

Try this path using root explorer.
data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper
There should be a file in there called wallpaper.
I would use copy though, not move.

Thankyou goscrewsir. Thats where it was. Awesome.
Trying to figure out where the directory is to put all the wallpapers I have downloaded so I can view them in gallery.
I am also trying to find a program that will randomly change between the wallpapers I have.
Thank you,
Whiteice
Just make a directory in your picture folder lol.
This app might help out.
