Custom picture frame? - G1 Themes and Wallpapers

I'd like to change the look of the frame used with the picture frame widget, but I can't find the image anywhere in the ROM (CM 4.1.999). Anyone know where I might find it? Thanks!

Camera.apk/res/drawable/appwidget_bg.9.png

thank you

Awesome. Thank you!
Edit: Hmm ok, so I went in and replaced the default image with one I made, almost exactly the same except it's got sharp corners (I know, I'm picky). Anyway, I went ahead and repacked the apk and pushed it thru adb to /system/app. Now, the default frame is gone, but the one I made isn't showing up. It's like there's no border at all. Thoughts? I used Photoshop,, same dimensions as original with transparent background, saved as PNG.

this image is a ".9.png", are you aware that these have to be edited and compiled correctly to work correctly? You should search the theme forums for "draw9patch", it is a tool that is used to properly recompile these images.
A ".9" is a strechable image that has guide-lines on it that tell the OS where to stretch the image. then you must use eclipse to recompile the images, and THEN they will show up and work correctly.
If you need any help, or a good in-depth explanation of how this works, lemme know...

If you don't plan to do a lot more "theming" than setting everything up to sign 1 .9.png probably isn't worth it for you.
If you upload the file I'll sign it for you.

Making my own bootscreen, can anyone help with some info?

Ok,... My Hero gets delivered tomorrow (my 1st Android device), and I want it to be completely my own. I want to make my own bootscreen... but want to know two things,...
1,... If the preset one already on there loops over and over, or if it just plays once?,... If it does loop, can i change it to only play once?
2,... What size the file of the preset one is so can try making mine roughly the same.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The stock bootscreen is made of 2 gif files. the first one runs 1 time, the second one loops until the phone is done starting up.

Basically anything up to 320x480. And keep them indexed 255 colors. Then if you have images smaller than 320x480 you place them with a config file.

File size doesn't matter that much. Of course there is an upper limit, but I have made all the way from 50kb up to 8mb bootscreens.

[Q] Could you edit this photo for me, please? To fit better & view more.

I would like this photo edited, that I have attached. Id like the subject to be more in the center, say on the main home screen...as it stands now, a lot of the subject is hidden by the sense launcher and I would need my main screen to be the far left screen to enjoy this wallpaper.
If anyone is able to work some artistic magic to reveal more of the subject on the main(center) home screen and able to reveal more of the art that is hidden under the sense launcher and hidden off of the left side of the screen...it would be greatly appreciated. my experience w/photoshop is limited to image size changes which doesnt really help my cause.
thank you thank you
These are some I like....
Neat!
Not really looking to obtain more papers though, jus hoping to have this edited as described by a photoshop genius here on xda.
Thanks!!

Thanks for your help.

That looks more like a honeycomb lattice than Carbon fiber to me ! nice wallpaper though still.
nice i'm going to use some of these wallpapers
Tanks, I downloaded all this
Have a play with Zedge (or similar apps that are out there). You can browse, download and set wallpaper directly from the app.
It's free in the Market.

Transparent MMS

Here is a transparent MMS working for the Nexus! Delete the original MMS and install this in its place through something like drop box as you would any other apk. This is the original work of Dhacker so the main credit goes to him, I just themed it a little more. Let me know if you would like it themed with a personal touch of your own? Enjoy!

Thank you, I hope so, just helping the community with things I like and have altered to work for this phone.

Is there any way to change it myself?
Mine shows only phone numbers, no names. FC's when I open settings.
Yes, download the apk tool and decompile it then change any setting you want,,,just be careful some changes to .png's or xml's do not go so well so it may take a few tries to get everything to work.

Change contact default icon

Is there anyway to change contact default icon ? I find this samsung default creepy
Bump
If you feel like opening up some apk's and finding the asset you can always do that. Could be in framework-res, contacts or any number of default apps though

No problem, absolutely understand
Mind uploading what you want it replaced with? I dont really have time to sift through more /res folders
The photo is in the framework-res apk ? How did you open the apk ?
Apk's are just zip files. So winrar
Probably this for now until I find better ones. Just something simple since it's default for everyone the dark looks kind of depressing tho sigh
