How can I get back the following default wallpapers without actually resetting the phone to factory settings that came on the phone when I was unboxing it on my SGS4?
Please see screenshots.
The other screen capture labeled CAPTURE2 is a solid light blue color with the hint of Sun glow on it.
I only have the plain normal blue solid color for the Home/Lock screen wallpaper.

NEVER MIND:laugh::laugh: I have it. I downloaded it.
However, can someone tell me where SGS4 stores its default Wallpapers? In which directory?
Because now, I would like to move this to the default Wallpaper directory.
Thanks!
Is there any special reason that you want to add them to wallpapers? You could add them to your gallery and then set them as wallpaper.
Dont think you understand my point here....
I know how to set the wallpapers. But I need to locate the folder in which these DEFAULT wallpapers are so I can add my downloaded image along to those default ones.
IThanks

For some reason that light solid blue color (with the sun beaming down) wallpaper was indeed in my list of default wallpapers list.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39745417
Please see that wallpaper from my first posting. Thats gone from the default wallpapers list and plus, I even did a factory reset and still, its not there. However, could be that I had this 300MB Firmware update last week and the firmware replaced that wallpaper from the default lists?
But somehow it got replaced by a darker solid blue color.
Thanks

dont really understand what you mean
you want it to be clear but not transparent ?
clear then how ?
just a colour ?
You probably mean the picture on your Today-screen.
That is an interesting question I would like to know.
Furthermore since I have upgraded to 1.72 the picture I have on my Today screen has lowered 2-3 mm, so there is a white band right over my date display.
Anyone know an answer to adjust that (and change the picture from being transparant to bright)
i still have no clue what you want
you can adjust the background picture in a theme maker
i mean the opaque wallpaper in today's screen. not transparent
so you want remove your wallpaper?
hey double_ofour, i\'m not sure either what you want, but i\'ll try..
anyway, if you mean the transparency of the picture you\'re using on your today screen, here\'s what you can do:
1 Go to Pictures, select the pic you want to use as background
2 Click Tools > Set as Today Wallpaper
3 Then from there, you can set the transparency level for that. (0-100%)
But if you mean for the picture quality on your today screen to be more crisp and clearer.. I guess it just depends on the quality of the picture you use. I tried using a high res pic as a walpaper, and it appeared to be more crisp and clearer.
Or did you mean for your background to be just a plain screen?? -- I haven\'t really tried that yet, but the only work around i can think of right now is for you to find a nice plain pic (any color you want, perhaps a plain white jpg will do) then use that as your background. (sorry for this lame suggestion, i\'m just trying to exhaust all options)
Is this what you meant?
like Guts_S; i'm also trying to digest what you want to do so i'll give it a shot as well. if you want to clear up your today screen; as in the only thing left is the wallpaper then you should download the app "no plugins today". put it in your start menu; clicking it will clear up the today screen and leave only the wallpaper / pic you have. clicking the app again will restore all the today plugins.
as guts_s said; if you simply want a plain color (no pic whatsoever) then simply save a plain colored pic, sync it to your ppc and use pictures to use it as the wallpaper...
are we there yet?
cheers
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
Has anyone found a way to customize the S view cover options for the note 3? I'm looking to either select a customer color other than the ones listed or chose an image for the wallpapers. It would also be nice if we were able to add a widgets to the window.
I am also looking how to change the color. The color I chose when I first got the cover worked well with my wallpaper at that moment, but I've since changed wallpapers and it irks me now.
Easy

Hi! why only with stock LG wallpaper I can see a full screen image in my home? with custom image, the topbar it's only quite transparent, not totally like stock.
how can I solve this?
Been having the same question. After some search, it seems that using the Xposed mod is one of the way to get a 100% transparent bar. Not sure if there are any other ways..

I'll let other, more informed G2 owners confirm this, but I believe that if you install wallpapers via an apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and you can get a transparent notification bar. I am still exploring this.

Wallpaper as an apk..? Okay unless I'm going crazy from all the studying that is something new to me. I don't remember installing wallpaper.. However I did install apps that has a selection on wallpapers. After setting it thru the app, the status bar becomes translucent. Thanks for the info though. Will search around because I really liked the transparent status bar.

Let me re-phrase that:
I meant to say that you can find apps (apks) that install wallpapers - and when they do (I believe) the G2 will see them as "stock", not as "pictures" that are used as wallpaper. When those wallpapers are seen as stock, you get 100% transparency in the notification bar. This is what I think - still looking into it. Hope this is helpful!
Well it's pretty simples really ... the status bar icons are white and aqua, these would only be easily visible on a dark (non-white) background, which all the stock wallpapers are ... now if you use a custom wallpaper, I doubt the phone can detect what colour the wallpaper is, so to avoid numpties setting a white wallpaper and then wondering/complaining why their icons have disappeared, they have set it so that there is a semi transparent black bar for all custom wallpapers to ensure the icons can still be seen regardless of what colour the wallpaper is.
Simples.

Makes sense.
So is it the case that when you install wallpapers via an app/apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and won't automatically apply the semi-transparent background? Just wondering...

I'm not sure about that, I don't tend to set wallpapers straight from an app, I always download them, I actually only really use the wallbase.cc app for all my wallpapers. (best wallpaper app).
But if was to take a guess, I would say that the phone assumes all the pre-installed stock wallpapers are compatible with a transparent status bar ... so if you get the phone to think your custom wallpapers are preinstalled stock wallpapers then it might work.
This could be just as simple as saving the wallpapers in the correct system folders along with the other stock wallpapers. Which might explain why if you set it from the app directly it works, as you're not actually downloading the wallpaper, so the app only saves it as a temporary file in the system folders, thus making the phone think it's a stock wallpaper.
Again, these are all assumptions, I haven't tested any of it so it could all be useless info ... but worth looking into .. I do like the transparent status bar.

I believe the phone came with a light blue sky wallpaper. That should have made the status bar translucent. But it didn't. Is it possible to put in wallpapers together with the system's default set? You just need to add pictures into the specific folder eh?
tried to achieve the same with GravityBox Xposed module and it works just as strange as observation in this thread. the status bar becomes transparent right after applying the settings no matter the wallpaper but it goes into the usual semi transparent mode right after you visit the app drawer for example.
I want to install a "dark" theme for my S8 Snapdragon that's in the S7 forum. Can I do this on S8 without root (using Package Disabler method)?
If this is possible, will there be any glitches I should be aware of ahead of time? If I can do this, I may never root... well, probably will just to get rid of Samsung-ware.

Use the themes in the theme store under settings. There are dark free ones.

Themes in the "Theme Store" can't change the Messaging app color / text box color, can it? I'm looking for something to give me as much white text on black background as possible in apps / System UI / dialer.
I don't mind paying for a theme in the Theme Store if this can be accomplished.

The "High Contrast Theme" from Samsung has a pure black background with white text in the stock messaging app (for free).

I won't have my S8 until tomorrow - any chance you could point me to screenshots of the Messaging and Settings apps? Or perhaps post them for me if it's not too much trouble
Really appreciate it.

Thanks for that. The white text input box at the bottom is what I was hoping I could make white on black. I've used a few themes around XDA that could do this - like this one I'm currently using on my S6:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/theme-samsung-galaxy-s8-t3582967
I bet there is a user made theme that blacks that out as well but I've only tried a few. I'll let you know if I come across one.
EDIT - Hmm it seems like all of the black themes on the Samsung app have the white text box, maybe they don't allow that to be changed on the stock app?
I have been playing around with Textra for messaging and it allows you to customize the look, see attached image. I think you could make those blue accents black as well.

I like that - I think I'll give that a try.
Yeah there are some elements the Samsung Theme Engine won't allow user created themes to change, at least from my understanding. The High Contrast theme and the use of Textra look like good options until we have root.
Thanks again!
Speaking of themes...Does anyone know if it is possible to get a plain black status bar (not transparent) with white text at the top of the screen all the time (without root)?
