I somehow deleted the preview files of themes in the Hwthemes folder. I am looking for the stock preview files in the Hwthemes folder. I would appreciate it if someone could upload a stock zip of the Hwthemes folder

What do you mean by the stock preview?

@hamzio7 If you were to navigate to Internal Storage>Hwthemes>.cache, you would see all your installed themes' folders, for example, Default.hwt. Inside Default.hwt, there is an XML file and 2 folders, Preview and wallpaper. Both these folder supposed to contain files related to the theme but mine are empty due to cleaning up some files with an app. I cannot customise a theme within the themes app as a result. So I'm looking for atleast the stock files in these folders that originally come with the os
You don't need the files from .cache from anyone here.
As the name of this folder already tells you is this just a space for the files to sit in after the theme manager looked through the HWT files searching for the preview images.
So it's actually common that as soon as you open the theme manager the .cache should be filled again.
If that shouldn't be the case then simply head to Me, then Customize and start looking through the given options as you would customize your theme right now.
In theory, the theme manager should have generated the preview images again and should have moved them into the .cache folder.
You would think that but it's not the case. Those files are never repopulated, in my case atleast.
Have a look:

I am trying to take a keyboard that somebody made into a flashable .zip file, and implement it into a rom that I am working on. What I did was flash the .zip through cwm, then found the apk, backed it up, and then placed it in the /system/app folder on the new rom. The problem is as soon as the rom boots, I get a force close error. So I took a look at the .zip file, there are two folders meta-inf and system. inside system there is an app folder and lib folder. My question is can I just take the apk and lib file out and place them directly into /system/app and system/lib on the new rom? and if so do i need to do anything with the META-INF folder? any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
thanks
the META-INF folder may have some script that does some other manipulation of the filesystem or runs helper apps during installation. See what's in META-INF/com/google/android/update-script.
I cant find it in forum so asking..
Where are the system wallpapers at?
MJ-12
i would like to know this as well?
The default ones are in Launcher2.apk under /system/app/.
Copy launcher2.apk to you PC and rename the apk extension to zip. Open the zip file and look in the /res/drawable-xlarge-nodpi directory. You should find them there.
From main screen, touch the + at the top right of the screen. It's in their.
Hi,
I have a Defy and I am running MIUI 2.4.13 on it.
I was trying to modify certain part of the V4 lockscreen and after i was done when i tried to import this modified lockscreen to the themes it simply wont show up anywhere.
Here are the steps that i followed to do the required changes:
1. Renamed (changed extension) of the lockscreen file from .mtz to .zip
2. Extracted the contents to a folder.
3. Renamed the lockscreen file to lockscreen.zip
4. Extracted the contents of lockscreen file to a folder (folders name was lockscreen)
5. Deleted the lockscreen.zip file
6. Changed the images as required with appropriate ones (images were exactly the same except for the color of images)
7. Compressed the contents of lockscreen folder to a zip file and renamed it to "lockscreen"
8. Again compressed the contents of the parent folder to a file and renamed it to "xxxxxxx.mtz"
And then finally when i tried to use this file, nothing showed up in the themes area. I dont see my lockscreen over there.
I tried doing the above using winzip, winrar and even 7zip. Nothing works.
I just want to know whats going wrong.
Thank you.
Could it be some permission issue?
I wonder

Thanks for the reply, but i dont think it needs any permissions while importing themes...

I've changed bootanimations before on other devices, but the file was always called "bootanimation.zip." Looking at the files in the SGS5, I see 3 different "boot*.qmg" files, but no "bootanimation.zip."
Since we don't have a custom recovery yet, I'm hesitant to rename the *.qmg files and drop in a "bootanimation.zip" I created for my SGS4 into the same folder. Is there some new way to replace bootanimations on an SGS5 due to the *.qmg file extension, or it's safe to just rename/delete the *.qmg files and drop in the "bootanimation.zip" file into the appropriate folder?
I'd hate to get stuck in a bootloop and have to odin back to stock only to be unable to fully "restore" my phone's settings afterwards (yes, I have TiBu & other apps that'll allow me to restore, but it's certainly not as easy or as complete as restoring a nandroid backup).

Thank you very much for the direction. While I'll give it a shot a later, that still won't allow me to replace the default bootanimation w/ the ones I've previously created. The bootanimation.zip files I want to use only contain *.png files (the *png's are in "part0" folder and there is a desc.txt file in the parent directory). There are no *.qmg files in those zip's to extract, so that process won't work for me & the bootanimations I'm trying to use.
Any other ideas, or is my only option to use something like the Samsung Theme Designer process? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696914)

Contact the maker of the OP of the thread with the boot animations, I'm pretty sure he/she can help you out converting the files. It's been done before in that thread.

Need some help or guide to create or modify the MM theme or the stock theme of the device. Not device theme editor that you can install on the phone.i want to use an app for windows or something to create a theme or modify. I want to make stock theme but with amoled black settings menu, dailer, msg etc. Basicly i want to make the white menus black on all the stock apps and settings... Any links or guidance please
.hwt are Huawei Theme Files that you can simply unzip with 7zip and modify and then recompress after youre done. I suggest you get a heavily modded .hwt and a stock one and then in the modded one you can see what goes where and change things in the stock one. Just repack it with 7zip and you can just place the .hwt in the HWThemes folder and enjoy it.
