I was trying to pull one of the wallpaper files into photoshop for some subtle changes, but I cannot find where he stuck the files for the life of me. It's not the HTC gallery, those are in system/ customize/ resource. If someone could locate the other wallpapers or point them out I would be a happy mf'r today.
On a related note, why do all of HTC's wallpapers suck? I settled for the carbon fiber looking one, but I still don't like it.

Hey there guys.
Just a quick one.
I have seen a couple of screen shots around (although can't remember where now) of a slightly differend clock widget background containing a little android Droid.
Anyone know how this is done? Maybe through applying a theme?
I have root and JF1.3 RC8 etc etc so not probs there.
Thanks
Phil
usually it's done through a theme, but you can actually just take the clock icon out of someones theme that has it, it's in the drawable folder of launcher.apk.
If you pull your launcher.apk file just copy the clock you want to the drawable folder on it and push launcher.apk back to your phone.
Cool.
Where is the launcher.apk?
Sorry... just starting with this phone and not totally fond my way round its files etc yet.
Thanks
it'll be under apps in any theme update file....
check out my theme... it has a ubuntu feel, with old themed clock like ubuntu's wallpaper

also changed fonts, and boot screen
Sorry. I meant where on the phone is the file (where would I copy from/to in order to put the custom clock image into the launcher.apk file.
Like that theme but don't really fancy any themes at all and just want the clock on its own really.
Thanks
Phil
You would have to edit the launcher.apk like they said then push it by its self to your G1 then you will have the clock and the rest of your theme will stay the same.
What they are leaving is that you must open the firmware package of your choice and edit the launcher.apk from the correct sub-folder. To be honest if you're not well adjusted to hacking up a firmware I wouldn't just start experimenting without proper guidence and reading of the available documentation on this platform. If you go about it half assed that's what you're gonna get.
Does anyone know where I can find the image files used for the backgrounds in the HERO ROMS?
I have looked all over the place but can't find anything. I'm currently running one of the PURE BLACK HERO ROMS but it only has plain coloured wallpapers installed on it.
Help appreciated.
Sorry for the files I wanted within fatal1tys HERO ROM.

These?
Also: google?
Thank you I've been looking for these.
Can anyone please share how can we use these wallpapers usig full quality and resolution? Each time I try to change the wallpaper it asks me to crop the image and then it has really bad quality. Thank you.
You can resize the cropping box so it uses the whole wallpaper.
Does anyone know -where- on the -ROM- the Wallpaper Gallery is located? I'd like to pull some images from my ROM to use as a lock screen image, since you're arbitrarily not allowed to use resources from the Wallpaper Gallery on the lock screen..
hey guys.
i'm trying to find the default wallpaper to change it out.
i'm using a sense rom and it has the htc sense bubbles wallpaper.i dont like it showing up on my lockscreen when i have MixZing there. looks out of place.
anyways, i already replaced default_wallpaper.jpg in framework-res.apk (one in drawable, one in drawable-hdpi). i searched through the rest of the folders and did not see the file anywhere.
i also searched through the entire com.htc.resources.apk and did not see that file there.
however, after flashing those files back to my phone i still get the same default wallpaper showing up in my lockscreen.
any ideas where else I can find that file to replace it?
thanks.

Bumping this old thread..
I have noticed that in the TWWallpaperchooser.apk that there are quite a few more wallpapers in there than the default 4 that we see in Wallpaper Gallery.
I was wondering if there was to enable the rest of them, and on a related question, is there a way to add your own into that apk too?
any response??
hey have you figured this one out yet.. i have been waiting anxiously for this answer.
Attached are zipped .pngs of the wallpapers. Credit goes to some XDA member - I can't find the original post. Extract and set them as you would any regular image file (gallery > set as)
Bonus cat wallpaper is from LPH leak. I don't think it's in the GB roms.
thanks for the response lonathe and the hookup. I think we're looking for the "How To" on tweaking the TwWallpaperchooser.apk to show ALL of the embedded wallpapers via Android's "Wallpaper Gallery" rather than just the ones they WANT you to see. For me I have both a SGS2 Skyrocket and T-Mo SGS2 (white) and they have different wallpapers embedded inside the apk. I am looking to extract ALL the Skyrocket's wallpapers from the TwWallpaperchooser.apk into the T-Mo SGS2's apk and then have them ALL visible via the "Wallpaper Gallery". Can anyone explain to me how to accomplish this?

Yeah, it's a achievable. I have done it in my new ROM. If you want, I can help you to open all up.
Just send me your system/app/TwWallpaperChooser.apk.
I can just link everything up for you.
Edit: I have tried open up GB rom and ICS rom TwWallpaperChooser.apk, they both have the same wallpapers plus hidden one. Btw, the cat is included too. They got more than 10 cool hidden wallpapers.
If you want my help, just pm me. I will be quite busy modifying my new ROM. I might miss your post here.

Hey guys,
So I've got an awesome theme design in mind, and i need to create a wallpaper design that lines up with the elements of my theme (all the Widgets etc).. For example, the wallpaper having a sidebar, or segments for the Widgets and whatnot to sit inside of.. stuff like that..
Anyhow, I'm gonna give it a shot, but im not super pro with Photoshop. So to save some time, i was going to try to just find a wallpaper that i can work with. So here's my question:
- Where can I find wallpapers that have these types of "layout" style of designs, that i can use for creating a theme with?
Been searching everywhere but can't seem to figure out how to word it correctly :/
Thanks in advance!
-Ender
Like, is there a specific name for that type of wallpaper? Something like "layout wallpaper" or something I can search for to find the type of wallpapers I'm looking for?

Google "Icon Shelf Wallpaper for Android/IOS".. It's rather simple to make those wallpapers from any image actually, so if you'd prefer your own custom image, you could google "how to make wallpapers with icon shelves for android/ios". ^^

I usually just use a bitmap on a bottom layer, because you can adjust whatever image you bring in, allowing you to use whatever image you want as a background/starting point.
