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

i have 2 quick questions...hope u guys can help...
1)is there a way i can improve the quality of the wallpaper i set... the pics i use as wallpaper r super fine but the when i set them as my background the look like it was taken with a cheap camera...
2) When i remove some apps on my wing some time i still have this ugly icon that does notting... n its bugging the hell out of me...i tried everything i can u get rid of this left-behind icons but there still the...n advise???
wallpaper- try setting the wallpaper through the file explorer. this will allow you to set the transparency. I'm assuming by "cheap camera" you mean the grey overlay thing.
icons- connect your device to activesync and explore it to device>windows>start menu. delete the unwanted icons.
thanks i got thouse ugly icons off but the wallpaper problem is still the ... its not the trasperacy ....for example do n look for a nice pic of what ever u want on ur ppc n the click on it n set it as ur background now go look @ it on ur home screen... i doent look so nice does it...
Same thing here. When i set the wallpaper (using a file explorer) the image looks like it's converted to 16 colors or something. It's far from sharp en perfect as when i look at it on my pc or with my favourite imageviewer.

I have WM5 and when setting an image as wallpaper the image looks bad on the today screen. How did you guys fix this?
The default images from the themes are showing fine. Only when trying to change the image I have this issue.
Thanks
Hi there, im thinking about the issue that you cant use a background for all tabs in TF3D, so i am trying to find a solution for that.
We need to find out where in TF3D the XML definition of background tiling is, so we could deactivate that, and replace the manila background tile with a normal wallpaper.
What do you think?

That would be great, one of the most annoying things of TF3D is the background only works on the Today screen. I guess another option would be to find the graphic file within the manilla files that contains the default one. I have seen a couple themes where they have changed that default image, I think it was the Orange one.
added to thread subscriptions, maybe we can do this and it will be so much better!
Thanks, look at the Vodafone theme for example, there is a blank white background. Can we customize the original files like this just with a wallpaper?
I found out that there is a 2bd5bb26_manila (Background image only on O2 theme) in the o2 theme.
When we could use this manila file for other themes too, we would have solved the theme problem!
there's one thing i don't really understand here.
in the o2 default blue theme, the gradient background (for all the tabs) is saved as an image of the width of 1 pixel. i tried to substitute it with another, wider image, but it didn't work.
in the htc black theme, on the other hand, there's no direct image for the background, instead, only the tiles are coded somewhere as image files.
how does it work then, i mean how does manila know how the background is encoded, whether it's a 1px-wide image that needs to be stretched or a tile that fits onto the background "floor" or whatever else on other themes?
if we could find the place where it's encoded what (and how) manila uses for the background, then i guess we could play with it a little more
This is what i have found about the background question in TF3D...

I haven't had any more time on it .. but I think we have to wait until we can change the mania/GLES files...
I hope this can be done
Hi. I have seen the Original wallpaper but not in black and grey but black and red. I now searching for hours but cant find it again.. Does anyone remember the link? Else a link for the clasic original . (I will paint it..) Thanks ,
you could take it off of your phone then put it into a program like photoshop and overlay it with red.
TF3D Wallpaper..
Something like this?
Not something like this, exactly this !
Thanks . I know i have download it some days before ,but now i have spend hours without finding it..
So how would you go about getting that to be the background on tf3d? Would you have to use a program or could you just put it in a manila file and if so which one?
TF3D wallpaper..
Easy, place the wallpaper in 'My Pictures' on your device. Scroll along in TF3D until you come to settings, choose Wallpaper and when a box opens saying 'Choose default yes/no' choose 'no'. This will take you through to your pictures and you can click on the one you want and it will change it for you to your homescreen. To go back just click the 'yes' in the default wallpaper box.If you want to make your own wallpaper the size is 480x640....
N.B. If you SEARCH on this site for mUn BackgroundMode.CAB and install this CAB to your device you can have your Homescreen Wallpaper on all of your TF3D pages.
Sweet thanks! I knew about the home screen I was looking for how to change all the backgrounds.
Hi
Anyone know how to mod the News and Weather widget (genie apk) to not show pictures?
Im using an already modded widget (transparent)
and it looks lush on a black wallpaper, problem is that the pictures are lowish res and just take the shine off the overall look.
is it possible to stop them from showing somehow?
if anyone could point me in the right direction i would be most pleased.
thanks everyone
you could try editing the .png files inside.
pull it from the phone
open the .apk with and .zip program
look for the relevant .png files
replace each pic with a 1x1pixel transparent .png
push back to phone
if the alignment is out then you will have to use transparent .png images that are the same size as the originals. this will however leave a gap on the left of the widget that is empty (where the pics were)

IT picks up from the gallery, if you change your wallpaper in s-view doesn't it disappear?

Noops...
If you delete it from gallery, photo file is deleted but "wallpaper file" don't disappear.
That happens too with Wallpaper from lock screen and home screen.
I grab a picture from gallery and put it in home screen wallpaper. Then, I deleted that pic and the home screen wallpaper remains.
Afterwards I deleted home screen wallpaper and all worked fine to that part.
But in S View wallpaper I'm not able to delete that file...
So, can anyone help?
Thanks,
P
