It most likely is in framework-res/ drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi folder and be called keyguard_default_wallpaper.png but I have also seen the name keyguard_bubble_sky.png
This may depend on the ROM you have installed. Also I have seen SOME Roms have it located in a folder in system/wallpaper and named lockscreen_default_wallpaper.jpg Again depending on the ROM.

Give me a few minutes and I will link a flashable zip with ONLY the needed files/names in their locations. You can then unzip the file, replace all three files I listed above in the correct spots and make sure the names are exactly spelled the same and overwrite the lock screen wallpapers I have in it. Then zip it back up and flash it.

Here you go. Unzip this and replace YOUR lock screen wallpaper in the system/wallpaper folder, the framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi, framework-res/res/drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi folders and you will cover ALL the bases.

Wow man thanks. I'm trying to take the next step in understanding themeing and I've seen this 360dp folder with an image called default_wallpaper that replaced the lockscreen but i could not figure where it put it in the original framework that made it work. I asumed the coding(in this case I was exploring an apk) was how it was placed because i couldnt find a default_wallpaper in my framework. I found the the one i set in my phone in the data/data/something but didnt thibk i could flash something to that folder configuration. Thats above and beyond making the zip for me! Awesome. Thank you.

Not sure I know which wall you are referring. Don't remember there being any special wallpaper after flashing a rom. Usually shows whatever the dev has cooked in. What is the picture of?

You can just change the wallpaper in settings display or just touch and hold on screen and change wallpaper there.

If im correct and i remembered it should be in*/system/framework/framework-res.apk
--> then in*\res\drawable-xxhdpi-v4
The file is called*default_wallpaper.jpg
Or something like that.

Ha sorry I just skimmed thru your post. I think you also have to do something with launcher.apk to make it work.

I tried to change it and when I flashed the rom with the new default wallpaper it kept giving me systemui error throught out the intial set up once booted....I used zip7 to make the changes and once I was done with the set up unstead of a background picture it was just a black screen. Any suggestions on how to change it without getting an error im building my own rom and thats the only thing I got left to do. I can change tge boit animation, add tweaks etc but I cant manage to change the default wallpaper.

I've never had any luck using 7zip to modify apks correctly. Try using Winrar or APK tools. Make the pic resolution same as stock (I think it is 1920x1920). Also, the images are png not jpg.

[Q] S-Cover

HI
I have and aftermarket cover and it used to work flawless with kitkat. I updated recently and now it doesnt. Phone freezes when i flip the cover , cannot answer calls etc..
If sm1 who is still in kitkat could extract scover.apk and another relative apk (i dont remember the name but has "cover" in it ) it would be so nice.
Thanks
The quickest way to get an apk, rather than wait for someone to post it, is to download a rom and unzip it and take what you need.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have a stock 4.4.2 rom in my pc but cant seem to decompress it. I can see system.img.ext4 (2.2Gb so this must be the main archive) but dont know how to extract that archive. Tried 7zip winzip winrar nothing works.
Thanks
Is it a tar or a zip?
---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------
A kit-kat apk most likely won't work on a lollipop rom anyway. Try finding a stock lollipop rom and test the apk from that.

It's a tar.
As for the second suggestion I am currently on stock firmware so that's the problem.
First, you would need a stock rom in zip form. Second, look for a custom stock based rom around here, it may have an apk that works.

These are problems that we have already met some Rom's also the black status bar , we had this worry on the Rom imperium , I recovered the TouchWiz an article and not a rom. The smart manager is one of origin but rather than put it into priv-app I place the smart manager in app where I have no worries in terms of the gallery is a file that a colleague us provides to address the concerns of gallery , it also works well for S5 or S6 gallery , it is not part of a specific rOM.
So these are files that I always keep aside in case ...

Please provide a working modded 5x5 or 5x6 TouchWizHome for Marshmallow

Dear Experts,
I (have to be) using the ROM of artas182, because it's the only ROM which working encryption (that I could find till now).
But it is a port from Galaxy S5, so everything there looks huge. I have downloaded a program to reduce the DPI. The icons
got smaller, but there is a huge border of wasted space around everything and the grid of the home screen and the apps
is still 4x5.
Can please anyone kindly provide a modded TouchWizHome.apk for Marshmallow with a 5x5 or 5x6 grid ?
I found a few others, but when I tried them by replacing my original TouchWizHome, it simply says TouchWizHome has
stopped working. I even tried to wipe Dalvik cache once, but it didn't help
I have also tried installing S Launcher, but sorting the icons is quite cumbersome and I think it made my phone slower.
PLEASE help me with this, I will be very very thankful!

Hello and many thanks for your reply. Yes, I would like to give it a try !! Can you please post a download link ? Why is it not smooth ? Do you think that it won't be crashing with TouchWizHome has stopped ?
I have changed the DPI with an app from 480 (which was default of the artas ROM) to 400. The original TouchWizHome from the ROM isn't crashing, but it leaves a big frame of wasted space around it. Will your TouchWizHome match my DPI setting of 400 ?
Till now I have tried S Launcher and Next Launcher. Both are cool and working fine, but unfortunately they are not comfortable to use, as it's not possible to add screens in the app drawer - for example, I keep the apps which come with the ROM on a separate screen, games as well and here I don't have this possibility.
Many thanks!

Thank you! I will try to do that, but you'll really save me a LOT of time, if you could paste the direct link here.
Do you think that this won't be crashing ? I downloaded quite a few TouchWizHome.apk files and they all are crashing... Could that be caused by my setting of 400 DPI ? But TouchWizHome.apk that comes with artas' ROM is not crashing...
Next Launcher and S Launcher aren't crashing either...

Sorry, I am not sure that I fully understand you. Is there ONLY TouchWizHome .apk posted ? And what is Grace UX ? I went a little bit through the topics and I have come to the conclusion, that Grace UX is a whole ROM. So you probably mean, that I should download that whole ROM and exctract TouchWizHome.apk and replace that in my ROM ? Is that correct please ?

Thank you! I will try to do that, but you'll really save me a LOT of time, if you could paste the direct link here.
Do you think that this won't be crashing ? I downloaded quite a few TouchWizHome.apk files and they all are crashing... Could that be caused by my setting of 400 DPI ? But TouchWizHome.apk that comes with artas' ROM is not crashing...
Next Launcher and S Launcher aren't crashing either...

OK, due to some weird reason, this won't work. I've reset my phone and restored a backup (which is with the old DPI settings). Now I've put your file, set the permissions and rebooted - I found myself in the so called easy screen, where the icons are even much bigger than before
Android 6 is the most frustrating phone experience I ever had!
Isn't there an Android 4.3 ROM for this phone ? I found one on google, but unfortunatly it didn't boot Thank you!
Yes sammobile etc .

Anyway if U want to flash stock firmware of samsung always use this site than sammobile. Sammobile doesnot provide 4files firmware so it may create issues after boot. Choose your galaxy note 3 model number and download any android version u want. But backup everything on internal storage. Best of luck

Hello and many thanks for your reply. Yes, I would like to give it a try !! Can you please post a download link ? Why is it not smooth ? Do you think that it won't be crashing with TouchWizHome has stopped ?
I have changed the DPI with an app from 480 (which was default of the artas ROM) to 400. The original TouchWizHome from the ROM isn't crashing, but it leaves a big frame of wasted space around it. Will your TouchWizHome match my DPI setting of 400 ?
Till now I have tried S Launcher and Next Launcher. Both are cool and working fine, but unfortunately they are not comfortable to use, as it's not possible to add screens in the app drawer - for example, I keep the apps which come with the ROM on a separate screen, games as well and here I don't have this possibility.
Many thanks!

Thank you. Just I have Android 4.3 on my old phone (SGS3) and it's just perfect. Everything works. This is why I'd like to have it on my Note 3 as well. The model is SM-N9005. I tried at least 10 custom ROMs and it's such a scan - encryption simply doesn't work nowhere !!! Terrible !!!
This website you sent me - what format are the ROMs ? I have TWRP and I don't plan on flashing stock recovery, as it's soooo lame. I downloaded once a stock ROM but it wasn't a .zip and I somehow couldn't flash it.
Many thanks!

Which S5 port ? Do you mean the one by artas ? I don't know what I did wrong either. But it's the same with all TouchWizHome.apk files I tried. I am renaming it to exactly that name and I am making the permissions 664, just as the original ROM and then baaaaaang, stopped working once I reboot!
Anyway, I think I'll stay with my current setup - 400 DPI and Next launcher. I'll just live with the fact that I can't have the games on a separate screen :-/

If you are rooted it might be easier to get substratum theme engine from google play, as it let's you change your ui look and many other things. There's also an app called otgsubs that allows you to create substratum on the go. You also need substratum themes. I like DNA dark or grvy. There's a ton if them floating around.
