[Q] [How to] Change the default ROSIE wallpaper in rom?

Hi guys...
I am trying to cook roms, and I cooked about 4 roms before but just for fun..
Now I am trying to cook a new rom and not for fun but for my legend and yours...
I faced with a problem...
DO anyone know how can I change the Default wallpaper of ROSIE..???
I tried these steps but with no result:
- system\customize\resource ---->>> but I can not find wallpaper,and I just can change LOCKSCREEN wallpaper from there.
- Lancher.apk---> I changed apk to zip, so I can open it, and then try to find the wallpapaers there, but I just can find wallpapare gallery photoes in there and not the default wallpaper.
- I tried every folder you think, but I can not find that wallpaper.
PLEASE HELP ME.....
how can I change the default wallpapaer..????

Ok, I still do not get it? This is obviously the right way to do it, but how? What do I do with that APK?
Sorry I am new to ROM cooking, my ROM works awesome but I want to add some custom wallpapers to my ROM and change the default. This seems to be a common question with no easy answers.

you can easily unzip the apk file in Linux and do what you want to it and then rezip it in store mode and sign it. ( tadaaaaaa, it is it)
or in windows, change the apk to ZIP and Unzip it and then do what you want and then zip it in store mode change to apk and sign it in linux (or with cigwin in windows), again ( TADAAAAA, it is it)...

Could you explain a bit more?
The file htc-resource.apk contains the default background. But when I open it as a zip, I dont see any file which could be the default background. On decompiling with apkmanager, it tells me it has dependencies.
I know this thread is old, but I have the same question

If you are using the latest rom FroYo I suggest you look in the folder:
\SYSTEM\customize\resource

Modifying them there just shows them in Gallery. It doesnt make the background the default loaded when the rom is first installed

In framework-res.apk is what you need

Thank you! But when I changed the default wallpaper.jpg there, it showed that wallpaper for a second while booting up, and following the language and country setup, immediately reverted to the other one..I'm guessing there's one other location where this setting is present

HtcAddProgramWidget.apk - framework-res.apk - \SYSTEM\customize\resource
They are the only places where you can find wallpapers HTC (ammen you're not working on a custom ROM)

Would you know which xml/file it is?

[BOOT ANIMATION] Bubbles. And Bubbles and Particles Ring

After posting my custom boot animation for Oxygen, I’ve been asked to bake it with android to make it more universal.
So here I come
Two version, with and without particles ring
Hope you like it, this is the video of the PNG sequence with the particles ring
And this is a video of the PNG sequence without the particles ring
PNG is 394×394 pixels, but you will see a full width animation (nice trick!)
Files can be found here
Animation is also available as a Live Wallpaper in my apk here
Hope you like it. If so, use thank button or donation (I'll appreciate it. LOL)

can't download the zip file nothing on your site no zip file to download

are you sure? File has been downloaded 311 times in less then 12 hours.

but i have the bootanimation now
i love it
but can you make one that go's in a loop and not starts over again

Love the circle with bubbles, would be great to have the android replaced with oxygen as I also run a blue theme. Let me know if you decide at anytime in the future as this is the best bootanimation I have used.

Flash it via recovery ?

No. Move it or push it via adb to system/media or data/local

Sure. In data/local animation will survive to rom updates.

Renamed it to bootanimation.zip and copied it in /data/local but no luck... Any other way than ADB ?

Which rom are you running? Try system/media. Or search your rom for bootanimation.zip and replace it.
Are you running a sense rom?

Cook your own themes!

HEY! for those of you that want a more personalize theme you can cook your own!
Here is de site http:/uot.dakra.lt its really easy! the site has various tools like
>Battery icons
>Status bar
>Lockscreen
>Animations
so many stuff you can do!!! and very intutive too!
At the end you have to upload your own framework-es.apk and if your rom is a ginger one also your SystemUI.apk (those you can find them in the .zip of every rom)
At the summary page just make your order and they will give a pick up number, just download it and flash it!!!! if you cant flash modify your recovery, because all the script problems, although it supports clockworkmod recovery
ENJOY!!

someone else had my same problem?can you help me please?

i also getting same error.....
E:\error in\sdcard\uto.zip

please tell me what is wrong?????

To people above: my guess is that the zip created isn't compatible with your custom recovery.

Best place for support with the UOT kitchen is the official thread, search for UOT kitchen in the Android development and hacking forum here at xda.

moding status bar

please how to mod a status bar in esiest way
while i have tried using app manager he is asking for adb what is adb
i have installed adb drivers but no response please do yhe needfull

Try uot kitchen, very easy.
Here the site -> http://uot.dakra.lt/
Click kitchen and mod everything you want. Go to the tab that you can upload your systemui.apk and framework-res.apk. Go to summary and submit your work. Click pickup and wait you file appears. Install through recovery. Done.

ADB means Android Debug Bridge. If you're using apk multi-tool or apk manager, it asks for adb. It's very confusing and you may have to set the PATH variable, maybe download the SDK and all that. Use Apktool. I use it all the time for decompiling apks and it's the best for me. You can find the links to download it and the guide here.

U have to replace icons,with original..and the resolution and format should be same..
Example: If the original icon resolution is 48x48 then u should change ur image resolution to 48x48 or near like 52x52 not 200x200 and if the original icon is like Wifi_on.PNG then u have to rename your icon in wifi_on.PNG and then just replace... clear???

[REQUEST] Smaller Navbar

Anyone know of a working smaller navbar mod (not using xposed) that works on MHC19I ? or able to point me in the direction of guide that allows me to attempt to make one myself ?
Looking to stay stock+rooted, rather than a custom rom.
TIA
EDIT - I've modified framework-res.apk for MHC19I - Grab it here. Mod changes navbar to 24 instead of 48 height.
* Backup your original /system/framework-res.apk and replace it with the download.

I'd recommend to flash resurrection remix rom where you can set the navbar to 24dp.

U can make it by editing framework-res.apk
Decompile framework-res.apk then go to res/values/dimens.xml there u can change it.

So I've decompiled and made the edit, recompiled and signed the apk, pushed it to my device and replaced the original.. but now it just sits on the bootup logo animination and I cant get past that stage.

Hopefully you have a backup that you can restore. If not, push the stock framework via adb
