I was having trouble finding decent (HD) or there abouts wallpapers for the d2. Im about to sbf and cant seem to locate my current wallpaper again on the web, when I got it, I just long touched on the screen and chose save as wallpaper. Trying to backup all my stuff and for the life of me I cant find this dang file on my phone/sd card. Anyone know where its located? Thanks.

I'm curious where/how the wallpapers are stored as well. Just for kicks, I went to Google Images, searched dragon, and pressed and held a file named red-dragon.jpg, then selected Set as Wallpaper. Using Root Explorer, I went through every folder on my phone, excluding the ~/sdcard, searching for "red-dragon," ".jpg," and "dragon.jpg." None of which gave me any results.
So, sorry to say, but I think the D2 really likes to hide your wallpaper. :/
Did you know that you can actually google how to boil water? In any case, google is your best friend. Rarely picky and almost never down...anyways, back to topic:
I recommend googling: current wallpaper location android. The first hit helped me a little bit into it. It seems there is this folder called data that you can only access once you rooted your device. Since Im in no need to do so and myself new to android I leave you to do whatever you want with this information.
Im also sure that you will need a root file explorer...only guesses though.

Maybe you were too busy being smug to read my post, so I'll just give you the tl:dr version.
I searched through the entire /data folder with Root Explorer for ".jpg" and found nothing when I was using a "red-dragon.jpg" as my background.
Thanks for your mastery of searching on Google though.
I am not rooted but whenever I save wallpapers from the internet on my phone they end up in a folder titled downloads..that shows up in my gallery and when I look at mt sd card..check to cee if you have a folder titled that as well

I think the system puts things like that in a database file. I have my walpaper of a picture I took but it is no where on the phone. It is defined in an xml file but where actually stored i think it is in a DB file. Sorry I can not make the "thumb keyboard" do commas.

I'm going to investigate this hunch further. I'll search the /system folder for all .xml files or database files. I can't say I'm an expert on the matter though, so... No promises on results.

I don't know if you are still looking for this, but if others stumble on this like I did, here's the answer. in the /data/data/com.android.settings/files/ folder there is a file called wallpaper (no extensions). it is actually a jpg file (if you copy it somewhere else and add a .jpg at the end you'll be able to see it)
@tsachi Here is my question: I would like all these lovely wallpapers I downloaded to show up in the dialog when I press Menu...wallpaper then hit the wallpaper button. The same default papers are always there and I would like to move my downloaded wallpapers to where ever that is.

Thanks tsachi. I was able to confirm this. I couldn't see the contents of /data with ES File Explorer, but I was able to do this through adb:
Code:
su
cd /data/data/com.android.settings/files/
cp wallpaper /mnt/sdcard/Pictures/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg
exit
exit
Then I was able to look at it in any image viewer.
Not directly related, but I used adbWireless so that I wouldn't need to connect the usb cable and I'm using MultiPicture Live Wallpaper as my wallpaper switcher.

Hey there,
I wanted to set my Wallpaper manually to avoid cropping when choosing a file in the gallery.
On my Nexus 10 running Android 4.2.1 the wallpaper is found at:
"/data/system/users/0/wallpaper"
The file has no ending but is a jpg file (as sad by others).
If you want to exchange the file with yours remember to set the right permissions.
I dont know exactly how they have to be, but if you give all users at least read access it should work.
After a reboot the new Wallpaper should be set.
My wallpaper now has a resolution of 3966x2560 and there are no black bars anywhere. The system seem so crop it on the fly.
Confirmed on JB 4.2, the location is
/data/system/users/0/wallpaper
Copy wallaper to somewhere else and change its extension to wallpaper.jpg and you are done.

Thanks, I found it and replaced it there. Anyone got any idea where to find the lockscreen image so I can do the same?
Ok Im using the ROM listed below in my signature, and I'm getting ready to theme it with Androdena::Tek::Galaxy!
It has the blue background and custom Icons.
Anyway my question is how do save it? [BackDrop] And then restore this [BackDrop] picture after I theme it, cuz its gonna replace it with a shot of earth!
And I just cant part with this Beautiful Brunette!
isn't that your wallpaper?
Just get shootme and use it to take a picture of your desktop or just look into the wallpaper folder for that rom and put it in another folder

I already checked my wallpaper folder all of them , and she's no where to be found!
She's somewhere in the ROM program, but no where I can get to or find!
Also if I take a snapshot of her with the Widgets, that,ll be no good unless I remove all of them, theres got to be a way of accessing this wallpaper photo of it clean, so I can add it to my wall Paper Folder.

if that is the default wallpaper for the rom you will be able to find it in the framework-res.apk use your favorite method to pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework either to your phone or your computer. then unzip either using root explorer or 7zip (just right click and extract with 7zip on pc) then look in /res/drawable-hdpi the wallpaper will be named default_wallpaper.jpg or something to that effect.
Cheers

Nice, thanks shreddintyres, that sounds like a viable option, my only ? now is what to use to pull the framework-res.apk from the /system/framework, the rest Ive got a grip on, but Ill start reading until I figure out exactly what you just instructed, haven't EVER dissected a ROM yet, so I need to learn, so I can retrieve that Wallpaper, of course it sure would've been alot easier if it had been in the wallpaper folder, but I'll be a good learning lesson. If i really want to customize this ROM the way I want!

I use Root Explorer. Works perfectly. I actually just used this same exact method to pull the default wallpaper from Trigger ROM.
Yeah its in the framework-Res.apk as default_wallpaper.jpg. I meant to include it and several other dark ones but must have forgotten to add them.
EDIT; I've added a zip file to the OP of Simply Honey Pro that contains the extra wallpapers I forgot to include, including the one references here.

just call me Shred
there are 2 methods that i like to use.
Using the phone as eminembdg said use root explorer (one of the most useful applications you will ever purchase for your phone) go into the system/framework directory then at the top of your screen there will be a button that says Mount r/w press that now you will be able to read and right to that directory (do not delete anything you will soft brick). now scroll down to find framework-res.apk long press and select copy then navigate to some directory on the directory /sdcard and paste.
Using the computer you will use adb. this requires that you have the android-sdk installed.
reboot phone into recovery (cwm recovery works the best)
open command prompt on computer, connect phone to pc with usb
navigate to directory where you have the android sdk then navigate to /android-sdk/platform-tools
execute the following commands
adb devices (this starts the adb daemon and allows will indicate that your phone and computer are communicating)
now execute the following command
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\<your chosen directory>
you now have the framework-res.apk on your computer
Cheers
It would be great for you , since you are interested, to try out those methods mentioned.
But... if all else fails, I could download the ROM and pull it for you, lemme know if you'd want me to do that for ya.
See my post above for easiest method.

With all due respect. I don't pay attention to whats posted down there when helping someone. A lot of ppl change their roms but don't change their sig.. Told ya the op would have most all the answers after all they made the rom
Thanks to ALL
To all the responders, appreciate all of ya, And Id like to pony up an apology to nomadrider123, I didnt mean to be rude, but after looking at it, [the responce] It certainly appears that way!
Anyway I got it done using a fresh download of the ROM , found the JPEG picture separated it, and uploaded it to the phone and then to my gallery, where it is now a file to be used as a wallpaper choice!
From there you choose it, and then Re-size it to fit right/save and there she is again!
Anyway Ive themed it already to a blue background, and then re-installed the Beautiful DAME as my wallpaper, and I now have a custom phone I really like and is easy on my eyes!
My only gripe now is I cant change the icons in TW, any suggestions on that?
IS TW a different animal, and needs a different software interface to MOD it?
And yes!! I'm a TW Fan. I love it! Navigates so fluidly!
I have installed on my phone ADW EX and Launcher Pro, And when I'm in TW GT Launcher I cant change the Icons, which doesn't make sense to me! So Ill figure it out or everybody here is quick with help! And Ill go with the soundest advice I get from Ya,ll! Again many thanks to all who gave!
Its a great feeling to customize my Business Tool, with minds all from all over the Globe!! Awesome community here!!
You have a couple of choices if your talking about changing your app icons. The first and simplest is to use ADW and chose a the with the icons you want. But since you like the TW launcher you'll have to change the icon of each app. You can open the AOL's just like you did to find the wallpaper. Same folder and its usually icon.PNG. if you use 7zip you can move the files around pretty easy. Just make sure and rename the new one the same as the old and stay away from the XML files unless your sure what your doing with it.
PM me if you or need more info.

Hey guys
Do any of you know how to change folder layouts??? So like how to move apps within a folder or out of a folder?? Really lost.
Looked everywhere but just cant seem to find an answer.

You can't. Also, if you put apps into folders, they will mysteriously move outside again after while, so don't even bother. Maybe they fix this some day.

Samsung was a bit shortsighted on that one and didn't build something like that in their launcher. My workaround for this is the following procedure: go into edit mode, grab the folder you want to edit to a new empty page and than delete the folder. The apps in it will populate the new page and you can re-add them to a new folder in your desired order, than re-add the new folder. If you want a more convient way for this try GO Launcher EX from market. It handles folders much more user friendly.As a note: You'll not be able to use any of samsungs widgets with any of the alternative launchers though.

I never have had something like that happening. Did you uninstall/install an app? In that case it looses its place in the folders.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. Yea it sucks that we have to use such a long proceduren.. I quite like to organise apps in folders..

Hi there, I have an aussie galaxy note 3, and it came with a series of quirks that are really annoying me
First, the touchwiz launcher - you cannot edit the bottom row of icons in the dock, they are fixed.
The camera - The autofocus and camera shutter are ridiculously loud and cannot be shut off
The gallery - There is no auto rotate, to rotate to landscape, you must put your phone in landscape mode and then click on an icon to rotate.
Could someone please upload the above apks from their non aussie device? This means I could install them over the top of my existing ones?
Or is there an easier way of doing this? I tried deleting all the sound files in system/media/ui (everything like camerashutter.ogg) and still no success.
Cheers.

You may need to push them to /system/app via adb. Additionally, you might just need to resign them. Sorry I didn't test it beforehand. I just pulled them straight off my N3. I can try it once I get home from work later tonight.

Thats what I did, maybe the apks the guy uploaded were bad. - I deleted the old apks after making backups with titanium so no issue
A guy on whirlpool said he just flashed another regions firmware, and that let him silence the camera and modify the bar at the bottom.
I don't have mine yet so can't test...
Does anyone know if that would mean the region locking would suddenly apply if i did that?

If your phone is N9005 then you did a huge mistake ..

You got it all wrong guys. Changing the apks won't do sh*t.
You need to remove a few of lines in your others.xml relating to this. I am on Aussie firmware and have done it already.
Search system/csc/others.xml and open with text editor in Root Explorer. I am in a rush now but if you can't locate the lines to remove I will find later for you.
Once deleted save & exit then reboot.
Done and enjoy
Just intalled omega rom, so don't worry about it. May as well post it for others.

not too sure about the fixed icons though.

I don't use it and don't need it, but If I uninstall Google+ I can't use Photos, and It is the only gallery app on the device..

Pretty much.
In my opinion, the whole concept of Android is not be tied to 1 thing only, do whatever you want.
And that's really annoying when Google makes you keep an app that you don't need just because it is tied to another app.

You mean the AOSP version, not G+ Photos? Keep an eye out for an apk, or flash one of the AOSP versions of loli. Though I'm not sure if Gallery is present there, but I assume it is.

Dont click on Google+? It doesnt force you to do anything with it. Yeah I suppose its annoying if you cant uninstall it but just ignore it and problem solved?
Here's the AOSP Gallery you wanted: https://www.sendspace.com/file/cyym47
Make a folder named GalleryGoogle under /system/app and paste the .apk inside the folder you created. Set the permissions accordingly and reboot(if you're not sure about permissions, check the other folders and .APKs' permissions using Root Explorer). If it doesn't work, you need to do something with the lib files.
i kinda see his point. the first thing i always do when i flash a new rom or in this case stock image is get root, get a app like "root uninstaller" and start deleting all preloaded apps that i don't want like google+ and earth and newsstand, etc. i like a clean OS with just what i want and it doesn't hurt that doing so also free up more ram and system storage
but now i can't do that AS MUCH as i want cuz some apps are link like google+ and photo. Until i find a good 3rd party app that looks good with the OS to replace some linked apps i'm stuck like this
