Someone tried to tell me this before but no, it's not. It's completely removed as an option. The wallpapers are still on the phone somewhere though because after installing, it loaded up the green grass wallpaper I was using from the Android Wallpapers so I know they didn't delete them.
Does anyone know how to access them so I can just use them myself?

Not the first time Engadget's been wrong.
Engadget isn't completely wrong because mine and some others are also merged into the HTC wallpaper directory. However there are others I also know..and theirs are gone too. I did a hard reset on mine last night so I would have a clean upgrade tho.
no Launcher
Mine did the same, no Android wallpapers. More annoyingly however, is that I can't get rid of Sense anymore. Sense was disabled and I was running Launcher when I updated this morning. It booted back up with Sense and now I can't figure out how to disable Sense again if it is at all possible.

Download another launcher like AWD, open home, etc....Then use Home switcher( its in the market) to switch to them.

That works - I'm using LauncherPro and didn't even need to get Home Switcher - but we shouldn't have to download other launchers when the stock Launcher was available. I just don't understand why they felt the need to delete these harmless traces of stock Android, especially the wallpapers. What i the world was their logic in that?
Anyone know where these wallpapers were located at in the file system? I will try to extract mine and upload them up for others.
Thanks, running ADW.
Weird...Yesterday, I updated to DC 2.2.2.1 w/OTA then updated radio & WiMax. Once i got everything running, the first thing i did was check wallpapers and the Android Wallpapers were gone. I checked today and they're back
Kept the one I was using prior to the update, can't remember if there were any other good ones. Saw the post on page 1, gonna hunt em down.

I've also been trying to find the filesystem location of the original 'stock android wallpapers' files available on 1.32.651.6 has anyone found or know where they are?
I found the htc wall papers @ /system/customize/resource/htc_wallpaper_xx.jpg but not the 'android wallpapers'.
edit: note, not yet rooted so maybe can't see them.
You guys are doing to much work go to this link and boom there they are replaced in mere seconds

i updated and of course, all internet browsers close as soon as a start using them. They open, let me go to a website or two, then close. I was super eager to test the full flash but i can barely get to the websites themselves without the browser closing suddenly. I updated the firmware, profile, prl, and everything. the phone was never rooted.
I'm about to do a hard reset but I figured i should check what you guys had to say first.

Hard reset is the only thing that has helped so far. Just do it, it will make the system work better anyway.
Will a hard reset effect firmware/froyo.
I had the same issues with the camera. Reset all folders permission to read and write.
sorry for my ignorance but how I can do a hard reset? and it will fix the problem?
No, a hard reset basically wipes your data and cache(?) partitions. All apps and data are deleted. This will return you to just your normal firmware, without any customizations. Then you can reinstall apps. I think that's the main problem, some apps aren't dealing with the upgrade too well, and as a result, you get some weird errors. It won't change any versions of your software though.
I'm having the same problem.. If we move the apps to the SD card we shouldn't have to reinstall them, correct? And if we re-install apps, does the settings/info saved on them return or would we have to change those as well? I'm getting ready to do a hard reset too and I spent alot of time with these apps and I was worried about losing info/settings..
Also, I'm using Launcher Pro, will it revert back to Sense after the Hard Reset?

Search "how to hard reset the HTC EVO". It can either be done through the settings menu or you can physically do it using the power and volume rocker.
My dad was having similar issues. And said that going into settings while in the browser and changing enable plugins from "always on" to "on demand" helps
Also the person using launcher pro go into the launcher pro settings or preferabces and all the way on the bottom you can backup your settings/homescreen.

It will return back to sense. It will be like a brand new phone. Before you hard reset backup your launcher pro settings and homescreen. Hard reset if my internet fix didn't work. Reinstall all apps and launcherpro and then restore launcher pro settings and homescreens.
Is hard reset the only way to fix this?
No you can remove Adobe flash and reinstall it.. worked flawless for myself.
James
I hate to ask this sounding like a noob, but I'm at work and can't do much research, but what would be the best way to backup all those files? Just with the USB drive or is there a backup app I can download, etc.
Nevermind, I figured out how to backup Launcher Pro, but how about apps still?

It should still be in the market, got it earlier for latest CM Nightly.
Yeah I don't see it either. I found Flash 10.1 beta on Appbrain, but it won't sync with my phone. I uninstalled and removed flash and my browser is still crashing.
Here is the APK. I had to uninstall it using titanium backup. was easier than going the ADB rm way
James
I had the same problem. Some are saying it's because of installing the half ass full flash version on 2.1 that came out a month ago.
I downloaded and reinstalled the apk and then it worked...for about 6 hours and then the browser starting crashing again.
The next time i uninstalled and then installed the flash 10.1 again, so far, so good.
When I get home I'm gonna try that and hope it works before I do a hard reset.
Nothing worked so I finally decided on the hard reset. I think one should do it anyway to get the best out of the update. Everything works fine now, glad to see that it remembers the apps I had already paid for. The whole thing seems to run smoother than ever, (I hated the baggy scrolling.) Southparkstudios works now, the entire video section of the new York times works now as well. Embedded YouTube videos work on Facebook they play without me having to leave the page/browser.
****ONE ISSUE***
Text fields act strange. I can't type status updates into the full Facebook site anymore, nothing happens when I tap the text field. That blows big time I hate using the Facebook apps I want the full site to work fully.
Similarly, I was never able to type into the text fields on the gmail full site. Now I can a little bit although Tue browser seems uber confused about whether it wants to deal with the text field or not. Any ideas why text fields (
Rich text fields) are such an issue?
I was hoping that yahoo games would work, especially yahoo pool but still no go.
Version 1.5.1 now available. It seems to be the same as version 1.5 that came out a couple of weeks back, except this version doesn't revert back to version 1 when you restart the phone - so a pretty fundamental improvement there.
thx for the news .. i'm happy i didnt got that prob from the begining
Oh yeah. Thanks for the news. Why did convert in the first place?
GT-I9000
Got it... But no changes since version 1.5 at all ?

Hi guys,
This is the apk for Task Manager 1.5.1. Fetched this from Samsung apps on JM8. Hope this helps!
How come it says application not installed when I try to install it?

Apologies guys, was stupid enough to upload the wrong apk! Updated my initial post with the correct one. Try it and let me know if it works better... well at least it won't be worse
wtf permissions?
I was going to install the 1.5.1 release from the Samsung app store, but finally held back: The permissions it's asking for are not quite to my liking.
This app requires each and every permission there is, e.g. change UI settings, send SMS and MMS, make telephone calls, read emails, change APN settings, change global system settings...
Did all of you ignore this, or were you shown other permission requests?

Noticed that as well, but it's the first update I installed for the Task Manager. I assumed it already had those permissions, and decided to trust Samsung. Some might argue it's not such a good idea
There are more apps in the Samsung store that require odd permissions and I just called Samsung Mobile Germany to ask the supporters why this is.
Not that I expected anything else, but what I was told is just wrong.
I was told the following:
- These applications are from Google (i.e. programmed by Google)
- These permissions are set in Google accounts
- this is no risk as the applications for 100% sure won't make calls or send SMS / MMS
This is so poor as a support answer... And a really poor programming style as well, 'cause it contradicts the idea that programmers should only require those permissions in their manifest that are acually needed.
Not gonna install that crap anyway. What if Samsungs servers are hacked and distributing modified versions of these applications? They're not gonna pay my excessive cellphone bill, should this be true, aren't they?

Hi,
Since I got my S4 and rooted the phone, my wallpaper gets restored to the wallpaper I had on my old phone (Desire HD) around midnight every night. I can tell from Google Dashboard that it has a backup of my old wallpaper but I don't want that restored. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?
Thanks,
Ian
Go to your samsung account and tap on backup and restore, there's an option to choose what will you backup or restore. May it solve your problem.

I didn't have anything backed up to my Samsung account at the time. But it is still restoring. I've deleted my Google backed-up data (for my old and new phones) in case it was restoring from there, but it didn't work. I tried not using an Active Wallpaper and used a plain one, but it didn't work.
Any other ideas to stop the restoring?
can you give some more details?
normal wallpaper, some live wallpaper, wallpaper application, what exactly is restored?
and what you mean by restored? the phone automatically chooses your wallpaper?
and last one: did you found out from where it restores (I assume google account, but just checking)...

I have no wallpaper application. It's a static image, pretty sure it was a wallpapre image from a long time ago.
When I mean choose - I go to bed with the wallpaper as what I had set, when I wake up the wallpaper from a long time ago is chosen. I was awake at midnight one night and noticed it change about then.
I don't know where it restores it from. I deleted my Google data in case it was there. I didn't have any Samsung data (I just configured my backup-restore tonight). I've looked for that image on the phone and if I've found the image, I delete it.

This is a very strange behavior, indeed. I remember I had something similar, but I was using a live wallpaper application....
Maybe you can go and clear the data and cache of wallpaper application?!

It is called SecWallpaperChooser (you can find it when showing ALL applications)
You can also try to set a live wallpaper, just to see what is happening.

If I knew where the wallpaper was, I'd delete it!
I put the phone in flight mode last night to ensure it wasn't refreshing from on-line. It changed - so I guess it's not refreshing. One thing I just remembered - it started happening when I rooted my phone, it wasn't happening before that.

the own wallpapers/ringstones and stuff like that should be storded in /media/ on the sdcard. do you see the old "bad" wallpaper in the gallerie/settings if u try to change the wallpaper?

Hi, no it isn't in the /media directory. The old wallpaper doesn't show up in the gallery if you change the wallpaper.
I hooked up my phone to the PC and explored every directory I could find, and I can't see where the wallpaper might be.
Found out what it was. I use a program called "Settings Profile", which sets the phone in various profiles (Silent, Night etc). One of the settings is to set the wallpaper. I restored the settings from my old phone and obviously the wallpaper was in there! Thanks for the hints everybody but it's my own fault. Needless to see I don't set my wallpaper like that any more!
Thanks,
Ian
I have a strange problem that began sometime in the past 3 days.
I went to post a picture to Instagram and noticed no photos were present under "Gallery". Even after taking a photo within the Instagram app, the new photo didn't show up under "Gallery" in the Instagram app.
I started digging and found out that this problem started within the past 3 days. I could identify this time frame because Google Photos uploaded a photo taken on my phone 3 days ago. Pictures since then have not been found by the Google Photos app. I have already reset the cache and data of the Media Storage system app - it rebuilt the Gallery app's index, but still the problem persists. I've also reinstalled affected apps.
Google Photos sees pictures in other folders outside of "DCIM\Camera", such as downloads and Music. So the issue seems to be related somehow to the DCIM\Camera folder in particular.
List of symptoms:
Cannot access photos from Instagram app, but I can share from Gallery app to Instagram app
Message+ crashes when trying to add media to a text
Cannot access photos in Camera folder from Google Photos
Gallery and Files apps seem to access files normally
Any help would be appreciated! I'm using a Verizon V20, stock OS.
Started having the same issue with my v20. Found a solution yet?
No, I'm sorry. I ended up just backing up my pictures to my computer and factory resetting my phone... I need it working correctly for work.

Yup - so far so good. I have all my apps reinstalled and accounts added...no issues. I really have no idea what happened, but definitely sounds like a V20 issue. Do you have the Verizon version too?
Oh! I just realized that I just installed the new security update the other day. I'm pretty sure it lines up with the problem starting. I bet that's the cause.

I bet the update borked the file system - not sure if there is a setting to fix it. That's a pretty big problem if it happens to everyone though.
Any other suggestion for this? I literally tried everything and I do not want to factory reset my phone. Its very frustrating!
I did the Factory Reset hoping it would be the 'fix'.
It worked for the rest of the day, then failed. I also have other Apps freezing or crashing.
After a lot of effort in a search for the solution, I slowly adopted the repetitive sentence that the phone is nearing the end-of-lifecycle and not enough time was spent making sure the update would work fluidly with all aspects of the phone. I *****ed and moaned for hours and got a nice discount to upgrade to the V40. Two days with the V40 and all is well in my world again.
