Location of ICS background image - Galaxy S I9000 General

My i9000 has a slight issue in displaying greys. The settings menu and any other app that uses it look awful on my phone.
All I want to know is the location the background is stored so I can change it to an all black background. I've asked this question in many different threads and no one had answered me yet. So many thanks to whoever tells me.

Trying to find it, failing that a black theme should help you

What else does a black theme change other than the settings menu background?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Lots of stuff, messaging, phone, market,g mail, YouTube, menus, status bar, depends on the theme, but good for battery, and generally stylish

If you are on a Samsung ROM it's different case though, roms come with their own fixed themes if I remember, been a long time! That's the advantage of aosp/cm7/9 you have the theme chooser engine to play with

Google black wallpaper, find one bigger than your screen size and save it to your desktop or straight to your phone.
Then change the wallpaper to the new image using gallery or quickpic or whatever app you use to view photos.

Misread it, sorry.

In framework-res.apk it's apparently in /res/values/styles.xml and color.xml
The only problem is I don't have a /values folder... Where else could styles.xml and color.xml be stored?
I'm using Elite 1.4.1 if it makes any difference.

You'll get values folders only by going into a decompiling process.

Assuming you are using ICS, its located in framework-res.apk (\res\drawable-nodpi\background_holo_dark)

Firmware upgrade stole my "starfield" wallpaper

I have noticed that I dont have starfield live wallpaper any more after upgrade ,
Why's that?
I'm not sure, but is this the wallpaper you're looking for?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
yep its what im talking about
That should be the full size one. Save it somewhere and choose "from gallery" when selecting a wallpaper. I save all my favorites in a file on my sd card.

I thought he was after the live wallpaper version.
That's weird, I have never seen a live version of that wallpaper, just the live spiraling galaxy.

How do you upload pictures by the way. Can't see how thx

When you post in the app click more, select the image you want to upload from gallery out other options. I found that if i tried to keep original image it wouldnt work but the small size option works fine. Next click inline and your pic should appear like this one.

im trying to find a system wide one so i can view them in apps like instagram or twitter. u know the black and white ones
I use Kii Keyboard for systemwide emoji and ascii art.
But typically Swype for everything else.

Try emoji font updater I use that one on my s3 and I would doubt the font on the s4 is any different. But if it is the app backs it up so you may restore I'd you need to. And it's great in combination with Kii keyboard.

Been asked many times before.
I believe they are hard coded into the launcher app.
