[Q] How to save current wallpaper? - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I selected a photo from gallery and cropped a portion of it for wallpaper. How do I save this wallpaper that I've created? If I change wallpapers, this one will get deleted and I will have re-crop.

Try any of these:
Wallpaper Set And Save
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.wallpapersetandsave
Image 2 Wallpaper
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shirobakama.wallpaper

I couldn't get either of those apps to save the current wallpaper that I'm using. Set and Save tried to save it in /SD card/wallpaper, but the N10 could not locate it. Not sure where the stock wallpapers are stored.
Image 2 wallpaper didn't give the option to save the wallpaper I already made.

wallpaper library

i have a rooted htc magic. i want to change wallpapers. how do i access the wallpaper library on the device
It's inside an APK file, you'd need to compile and sign an APK every time you wanted to change something.
If you press the Menu key on your home screen you can choose Wallpaper and select any image from your Gallery.
Android saves this image to /data with JPEG compression, which can look crap for some pictures. If you want to set an image directly as wallpaper get the "Wallpaper Set & Save" app from Market, make a folder on your SD card called wallpapers and put 640x480 pixel images in there.

Adding wallpapers

When I download wallpapers from the web they are being saved in the downloads dir, and do not show up with the rest of the wallpapers whrn I access them from the settings.
My question is : Is there a directory I could move images to, so they would show along the stock ones ?
Err, downloaded wallpapers will be shown in your gallery instead. If you want to set them as wallpapers, then just browse from gallery.
The stock wallpapers are in a different time space continuum so there's no way to add new pictures to the stock wallpaper folder without altering the fabric of N1's existence.
That is if you are on stock N1. Not sure about rooted N1s with custom roms.
All the wallpapers that you can access from settings are in launcher.apk.....so one can edit it and push launcher again

[Q] How to modify a live wallpaper ?

Hi !
I would like to extract the image of a live wallpaper, but I can't seem to find it.
Used apk tool to decompile the apk, and when I look for the image there's only a 256x256 thumbnail of the wallpaper in the res/drawable folder... How come ?
Another solution would be to modify the apk to make the wallpaper still instead of animated, but I don't know where to start. Is there a file I could modify to do that ?
Thanks a million for your help !
Cheers
It sounds like the wallpaper is generated entirely with an algorithm. Live wallpapers are actually special apps that run behind the icons.
A simple solution is to just take a screenshot of the wallpaper. You can select it in the Live Wallpaper picker and take a screenshot of it. Then, you can crop out the bottom area that has the Settings and Set Wallpaper buttons.
What wallpaper are you trying to take a still image of?
That's what I thought... Damn.
I tried to use a screenshot but it's not the same since it's smaller and can't cover the sliding effect. Better than nothing though.
I'm trying to get a still image of the "Holo Grid" wallpaper.
Thanks anyway

Shot on OP wallpapers are stored where?

I set a few images from 'Shot on OnePlus' as my 6t's wallpaper on home and lock screen. The photos show up in the choose wallpaper menu. Now I am using a different wallpaper. I want to get rid of the old photos which I had previously set as wallpapers from the menu, but I cant find the images in gallery. Anybody know where they are stored so that I can manually delete them?
