Does anyone know the storage location of theme files, like adw themes? I just want to extract some icons. I tried /system/app but they're not in there.
TIA!
data/app

Hi. Been searching everywhere and cant find a way to reinstall timescape.
I have tried system/apps but the apk is not there anymore or anything that is connected to Timescape.
The reason I deleted timescape is because it is one of the reasons that the battery life is so bad on the X10.
Now I cant get to my contacts. I am using acontacts.apk but for some reason the resolution is very bag on my contacts pics.
I have found a timescape.apk but it says it cannot install on my device. Maybe the apk is compatible for certain builds?
Maybe someone can suggest another app for contacts with a better pic resolution.
Thanks in advance
Oh yes : using rooted 026
Here a the Timescape.apk file
Thanks man.
DL now will let you if everything is cool.

You need to correct the permissions of the apk file once you have copied it over to system\app otherwise it will give you the error you stated in your earlier post.

I moved the apk's I wanted to install into the system/app directory, changed the permissions, pushed the r/w button to remount the system and then tried installing the apps.
Here is where I'm at now, magic smoke live wallpaper installed fine but when I try to select it as my wall paper, it force closes. Not sured if I need another file. I then tried to install ocean waves, dandilion, and luminescence live wallpaprs but the installation failed on all 3 of those...
Any help is appriciated, thanks

Usually for me, I just copy the apk's into system/app, change the permissions, and reboot. Which apps are you trying to install?
Some apps will install im /system/app folder some will het fc's,and some apps will get fc's in regualar install but install fine in /system/apps folder.A tip:Sometimes an app gets fc when in system app folder however if you mod that file(change icon color,etc.) It will work fine!I dont know why that is maybe something to do with signature.

Make sure you change the permissions of the files to match the permissions of other files in the system/app folder.
ive done that. The wallpaper is installed but when I try to view it in the wallpaper selecter, it forcecloses
Do I need an extra file?
Does anyone know? I need it because I'm building custom ROM.
Download a cm7 and extract it out of it.

you need to copy it to system/app/ and add permissions
maybe you'll need to insert some lib files if app is crashing
****UPDATE****
I've discovered how to install apps as system apps

The go loker only work if we installed go launcher ....is there any way to use go locker without go launcher..???
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
That would require some smali editing after decompiling the apk, actually a LOT of smali editing, which isn't really easy.
Code:
System.out.println("Sent from my SGY");

Try this. Create a flash package with all these things:
1.Go locker.apk
2.Libs from go launcher and go locker in one folder
Flash it and see if it works
First install go launcher and go locker. Then active go locker and then uninstall go launcher. Then see , Go locker will work without go launcher... coz I'm using go locker without go launcher....
Ops, but it works only for some times

Libs?? There are libs in an apk file?? I never saw 'em when i decompiled an apk or even when I was creating an app. An APK file consists of only icons, java source codes (or smali in case of decompiled), and XML files. Atleast, that's all I know!

Dude then you have a long way to go . Not all apk's have /lib folder but some of em have it. For example download go launcher ex and make a backup of its apk. Look inside that apk using a zip archiver.

You're right...just saw it....btw, opened zeam launcher's and holo launcher's apk too and saw no folder named 'libs'...i wonder why an apk would need libs...

Its probably 3rd app dependencies,
Other launchers doesnt require that

Adobe flash player have libs in its apk.. I found many apk with this lib folder...
Hello,
I'm a new Nexus 4 user, and I really want to know where is the settings background wallpaper located?
On S3 on 4.1.2 also on CM10 roms, the background is located in nodpi folder. In Nexus I cant find it, I've tried to download cm10.1 rom, but I cant locate it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
wallpapers are part of an apk, not in a folder

And apk's contain, wait for it, folders! Gasp!
Check the folders inside your launcher apk, OP.
he was asking which folder he can find the wallpapers in, to which I replied it's in an apk not in a nodpi folder like his S3; am i missing something? I know that apk are basically executable zip file that contain folders - that still doesn't make it a "folder" per se.
They are in launcher.apk /res/drawable-sw600dp-nodpi .. Really isn't hard to search each of them yourself either until you find PNG or the word "wallpaper"

@op. The image your looking for is background-holo-dark in framework-res.apk, drawable-nodpi folder.
