You can change it also on xml file for Launcher, I don't remember the exact location of this file, also with icons/widgets on Desktop.

When I install the advanced launcher on my phone, I get this skateboarding robot, but it's no where to be found after I change it....anyone know where I can get it?
thats the default wallpaper for advanced launcher.
you can get it back by wiping lol...or you could go to settings>manage applications>advanced launcher and hit clear defaults or restore defaults, whichever it is...that might get it back.
if you dont wanna try that, its in the update that you flashed, extract it to your desktop and extract launcher.apk then its in res/drawable/default_wallpaper.png. just copy it to your sdcard to wherever your keep wallpapers, and there it is!!!

Ask cyanogen. I'm sure he has it
If your using any cyanogen based rom (i.e. Cyanogen and Wesgarner) on the default launcher it is the first wallpaper in the wallpaper gallery
I hope your aware that you csn change wallpapers by pressing on screen to anything you want.
You can save your currently set wallpaper from a free app called Wallpaper Set & Save. If you try reinstalling Advanced Launcher and trying WSS, you can save it.
Not sure which you wanted so...
HA!...you are the man, thanks dude, it was the last one (green robot...)

Oh em im 99.9999999% sure that the png is in framework-res.apk/res/drawables.....thts the first png that is set when u flash a rom, reason u cant set it once u change is because the launcher gallery only shows the png's in launcher.apk/res/drawables.....

Hello everyone!
I have tried and tried to customize framework-res.apk, and what a nightmare!! I made a script that works all fine when using Defrost 2.9a and 2.5, but if i try Cyanogenmod or Defrost 3.0, i get force close. When I modify both xml and images.
What am I doing wrong?
Bestest of best regards,
Jonas Hald

As i get it, that doesnt work when I edit the xml, then it has to be recompiled?
Sure
If u change the code it has to be Recompiled ;-)

Yeah, so I do
But i get force close in cyanogen and DF 3.0 - but the Circle Mod online framework modifier can do it, without force close.
Are you sure its not semi-edit the files? I think there are just various versions of the framework.

Semi-edit the files?
So i'm trying to edit the status bar background.png file. I've made a copy of the framework, changed it to zip, replaced file, changed back to apk. But the systems folder is read only. how do i go about changing it to 'write' so I can replace the frameworks???
Also, if my background is transparent, do i also need to change something in the xml if I want the new background to be a solid color
Hello all,
Because i messed up my system icons trying to change them i need new ones but i dont know where to get them. If anyone kind enough has a spare icon pack i can use them to make them ics blue or just keep them as a backup.
Thanks in advance.

You can get them from a stock ROM zip by deompiling the apk they came from. (SystemUI/ framework-res, etc.)
Thanks but i have tried that i just open the rom and there is nothing there it says empty. Can u guide me how to decompile it??

Opening the ROM isn't the same as decompiling. If all you need are .png images, rename the .apk to .zip, open it, then navigate to /res/drawable or similar and select the icons you need and drag them to the desktop.
Thanks, i m downloadeing a new rom right now and i l tell u how its goes. I m gonna try to make some ICS blue system icons too.
Sorry guys can't open it anybody can guide me step by step or more easily jus send the files please..
Thanks

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.
Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM
Do I use 7zip on my Pc or phone?

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.

Yeah, it requires a bit more work. I am looking for the thread where I found the info, but xda search is down. I will link as soon as I find it.

This should still apply. Check post 2.
...and this one should help if you have questions about modifying the apk

Rom Toolbox may be of help to you. I recently used it to mod COLA rom to look ICS-ish (including popups/dialogue). It was invaluable in helping to find all the right graphic elements and change them.

Well to be honest ROM Toolbox is no solution for me. I only want to know what this .png is called. Anyway thanks for your reply.
