I can't see to find the lolocation of the stock wallpapers. I ask because I'm having a lot of trouble getting any wallpaper to fit even when sized correctly. But if I simple choose the wallpapers that came with it, the tab never forces me to use tthat stupid template. I assume if I dropped my picture I want into the stock wallpaper location I will be able to set it jjust as eeasily.
probably not much help but the default lockscreen wallpaper is in system/framework/framework-res/res/mdpi
Some of the wallpapers may be stored within the launcher apk as well. You could pull it off and unzip it to check out the folder/file structure.
Not as easy as I had hoped...
its so easy if u have root explorer, as milenko said its in the launcher apk.
Can someone give me a little guidance here?
I found the .apk with root explorer, but now what? Do I extract it, put the new wallpaper in it and overwrite the stock .apk with the new one? I was hoping it'd be more of a drag-drop situation.

In my galaxy 3 the wallpapers have to be exactly the same size as the stock one. Could it be the case?

I had the same problem. Here is what I did, but this might not work on Stock ROM (odexed files):
Get the framework-res.apk from the ROM you use.
Open the framework-res.apk with 7ZIP (do not uncompress it, just open it with 7ZIP)
Change default_wallpaper.png in res/drawable-xlarge-nodpi
Change default_wallpaper.png in res/drawable-nodpi
Change defaultlockscreenwallpaper.jpg in res/drawbale-mdpi if you want a different lock screen wallpaper as well.
Close 7ZIP
Flash the ROM with the changed framework-res.apk, or push it with ADB to the tablet to system/framework.
I changed to different file size and picture size and had no problems.
oh my what a lot of steps involved. i will just stick with the stock one then.

So I followed the steps here and my icons look so big and beautiful only problem is whenever I use anything but the default 240 size the dialer crashes and cannot be used whatsoever, anyone know how to fix this????
"use root explorer and edit /system/build.prop
find:
Quote:
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
Change the 240 to 260 (or something else), save the file, and reboot the phone
A Higher # will make everything BIGGER, including icons, fonts, etc
A lower # will make everything smaller"
Please somebody. Has anybody done this edit before??? Thanks
there must be another setting to change to get the Dialer to work. i tried 248 and 275 (listed in the build.prop file) and it didn't work for me either. on my other android devices, i would simply find a font file and rename to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf and then copy to /system/fonts/. i tried this on my first Atrix and it went into a continuous boot loop. i had to exchange for another device. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!

The Atrix checks and rechecks all files on every boot so this will brick your phone if the files dont match

yep! i can testify to that, lol! makes me appreciate the ease of root and customization for my Nexus One (will never give it up!) and my wife's Inspire4G. i'd also like to punt this MotoBlah crap! i'm using Enhanced Email and the Blah contacts app is disabling my ability to select accounts i want to use to add new contacts...
not holding my breath on this, but i hope Moto makes good to unlock the bootloader and allow us to customize our devices.

Well the only thing i can see so far that has been negatively affected is the dialer. Everything else works fine.
With the higher resolution the icons have shrunk and to me look a little disproportionate on the ATRIX. This makes it look really nice and well spaced.
Does anyone have the stock wallpapers that ship with the Dinc? (i've already searched the forums). I'm running CM7RC4 and love it, but I do miss that dark red and black swirl image that ships with it.
Can someone post those here for me please?
OH, and also, where would I put them to make them selectable as wallpapers (and not just from the gallery option)
thank you!

As far as having it be listed in the built-in wallpaper list, I'm not sure on that one. I know those files are generally stored in /system/media. However, CM7 may be different.
Hello all,
I'm been using lately mainly cm7 and MIUI roms, un the last month im running MIUI. I love the MIUI look and feel but i also like the CM7 speed and stability. the only one thing that super-annoyed me on the CM7, and in fact in all android roms, is the icons. they are terribly non uniform and non harmonic. different sizes, different look, they actually look a little "cheap" arranged in rows.
So i thought lately, let's give CM7 another try, this time with the MIUI icons. some MIUI themes have great harminic and coherent icons, like the sense theme and the 3dview wood frames which gives the device a different cool look.
I'm trying to find out where in the sd card MIUI saves the 3d party Icons. appearntly it is not trivial.. it is nor inside framework_res.apk, i dont have a data\system folder and i can't search the root directory for *.png by connecting the phone to the computer.
I'm sure MIUI don't build the icons on the run each time, it must be saved somewhere..! Any Ideas?
Any help? Or is my intentions a non spoken taboo?

You can find the themes in the .mtz file of the theme. It can be openedusing winrar. Inside you'll find a file called icons. Open that with winrar and you'll find all the icons inside.

Already tryed that, not working
in some themes (like the ones I mentioned) the theme is doing some kind of framing to the original icons. the sense theme for example makes a nice glass frame for the original icon. so you cant find the icon in advance in the theme zip, cause the icons changes from phone to phone. Instead you have some basic frames and probably some kind of instructions on how the create the themed icon from the original ones. but still, ones it is done on the phone, it has to be stored some where... that is the question, where is it??
How do I set one of my own pix, located in the eMMC /media as a wallpaper WITHOUT having resize it?
I can set any pix by tap and hold on the main screen then choose Wallpaper and select the pix I want but it always asked to resize before let me save as wallpaper.
Doing so will shrink my pix. I don't want to resize it, how do I do it?
Note: even I pre-cropped my pix to 1024x600, it still wont let me choose the entire image as wallpaper.
Not entirely sure, but you might try moving your presized images into the same folder where the Cyanogenmod wallpapers exist and selecting from there. I know when I select those, it doesn't ask for resize.
Good strategy, krevo.
I'll try that but b4 that, where is the Cyanogenmod wallpaper folder?
Try QuickPic and please don't think I'm being insulting when I suggest you double check your horizontal and vertical dimensions. I have swapped them a couple times without thinking about it and then couldn't figure out why the pics looked so messed up.
+1 for QuickPic--Love It!
Running off eMMC w/o uSD, Gallery didn't work so QuickPic was my one of my choice and is my favorite (other choices were Large Image Viewer, ...)
Anyway, as I stated above, even 1024x600 pix, still forced me to crop. Expanding the crop box to maximum, of course, still not happy with it. I look for a way to just use the pix as wallpaper w/o modifying the image.

I looked and it turns out that it isn't a folder its an app.

I thought/hope krev said that he did put his pix in the folder.
anyway, I don't know why it's so complicate just to use our own image as wallpaper w/o doing resizing.
It's strange that you can't. I don't have any trouble. How many screens are you using? That might have something to do with it. This thread has some suggestions you might try.

If you can and I don't then I blame myself first, must do something wrong. Will try again and again.
Anyway, I always set up 3 screens (note: by default, it's 5)
In that thread I linked some people are saying that Wallpaper Set and Save made it work for them.
I just don't understand why we are all having different experiences with setting wallpapers. I guess there are so many possible combinations of ROM, launcher, resolution, apps, and who knows what all else. I seem to recall a big thread at MobileRead about this very thing.
Another thing you might try is searching the Nook Themes And Apps forum here for wallpaper threads. This is a common situation that has been solved several times but not always the same way.
What picture do I've to change if I want another background in the newer Xperia apps (2012/2013)? Is it a combination of two images? I searched in framework-res.apk but couldn't find it. It looks like carbon fibre.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2BjC2gRHSTnamxaZGhlX2tSTzA/edit?usp=sharing
I use the Settings.apk from Alex_rac and the framework from jader13254.
Well being that its jaders version of my framework I'll help you.
The background image is in framework-res.apk under semc_bg_tile.png. There's an XML in res/drawable called semc_bg which makes the image tile endlessly, so you'll have to find an image that tiles.
Or, if you want to use a rectangular image (480x854), delete the xml and replace the image in drawable-hdpi but name the image semc_bg. You'll have to delete the reference to semc_bg_tile.png in public.xml if you do this (second) method. You'll also have to make a landscape version of the image for drawable-land-hdpi.
I might've explained it poorly so let me know if you need help.

Thank you! I thought it could only be a tile but it's hard to find with a picture browser because they're often so small.
I've to apologize that I didn't mention your name because it's your work. Thanks again for this nice framework.
Da**, how could I overlook this? It's so easy to find. I've gone though all pics five times and didn't found it...
I'll try to add this background to the SemcPhone settings, but it'll take some time because of the fragmantation of Android files/styles. I'm still not a friend of it.
