Hi,
I was using one ROM for a while, and just switched. I want to take the wallpaper with me though. But I can't figure out how to do it. I copied the images to the system\customize\resource folder, but when I go to HTC wallpapers, I do not see it. Any hints?
Thanks
You can just take the image and search for it on gallery then set it from there.

Ok. I see the picture. Gallery isn't the funnest way to find it. But when I select it, it makes me select a region of the picture to display. On the old ROM, it was just a wallpaper. I didnt' have to select a region, and the entire image displayed.

Does anyone know to add pictures to the "Wallpaper Gallery menu"???? I use the stock ROM rooted which only comes with only about 4 or 5 wallpapers embedded into the Wallpaper Gallery menu however I decompiled the TwWallpaperChooser.apk and found there's waaaay more wallpapers than what the OS actually allows us to choose from... In the end I would like to have all the wallpapers shown under the Wallpaper Gallery menu. Can anyone help with this? Anyone??
I went to sys/apps/twwallpaper picker.
Extracted all.sent as email to myself.
Downloaded.
Went to gallery and then applied wallpaper.

you have to decompile the twwallpaper.apk
go into res/values and open up arrays and in there you will see picture names...add the ones from in the drawable-hdpi folder that are not present in the arrays
TY for the help. I was wondering the same thing myself. Is this also how to change the default wall paper when preparing a custom rom?

Res/value/arrays?? no such directory exists. Let's rewind a little bit, which APK needs to be decompiled?? There are about 33 wallpapers sitting in TwWallpaperChooser.apk. They came pre-installed to the following directory:
TwWallpaperChooser\res\drawable-hdpi ...
however only 4 or 5 only appear and the rest do not show up under the Wallpaper Gallery menu. How can I get all 33 wallpapers visible when I access my Wallpaper Gallery menu?? If we are referring to the same APK that you suggested earlier, then I can assure you there no Res/value/arrays directory listed after decompiling. Any suggestions anyone??
Can one see these "hidden" pics on the default manufacturer's ROM?

Ummm , sounds like you guys are making this overly complicated ......
Wallpaper, Gallery, is your phones gallery, not the TWwallpapers ....
If you are asking how to add more pictures to Wallpaper>Gallery, just create a folder on your phone, call it wallpapers or whatever else you want, and copy the 960x800 wallpapers to it and "rescan media" using an app from the market or reboot ...
Then open up Wallpaper>Gallery, and choose your wallpaper folder .....
Maybe I read your first post wrong but you did ask about Wallpaper Gallery not the TW wallpapers ....
@Watcher64 - I believe the reason behind this is when installing custom ROM, you would like to have the wallpapers already present when it is installed and not worry about downloading a bunch or transferring them from your computer. This is why I am editing/adding to mine.
While it is located under "Wallpaper gallery" on the phone, the actual apk is TwWallpaperChooser.apk in system\app
......
The list of the wallpapers in the array.xml file was not located in \res\values, rather \res\values-hdpi in my ROM.
Thanks sippinalizay and M&S for helping sorting it all out!
Using custom.xml?
I recently stumble myself on this same question and the answers I found on the Internet either didn't properly apply to my phone ROM or they were not much feasible (like tampering with the system resources files).
But I observed something interesting... a custom vendor wallpaper image added to the default wallpaper gallery; I tried to find the trace back to the source files that made it possible that addition and I found this:
/system/csc/custom.xml
Code:
<Display>
<NbWallpaper>1</NbWallpaper>
<Wallpaper src="/Customer/XTE/Wallpaper/Sun 480 x 320.jpg" width="480" height="320">
<Position>1</Position>
<FileType>JPG</FileType>
</Wallpaper>
</Display>
Modify that at your will and add pictures to the Wallpaper Gallery in a simple way.
Note about the attached pic: the 3rd wallpaper is a custom one that I added by injecting it directly to the TwWallpaperChooser.apk with same name of a previous one picture, actually replacing it.
How can I decompile an APK file?
I found some cool wallpapers. How can I copy these wallpaer to my Galaxy Nexus? What is the location of wallpapers and is there any special method of transfer? I will appreciate your help.
Just put them on your phone somewhere using USB then open them in the gallery and use the menu to set them as wallpaper.

Thanks fro your advice but the problem is that you have to crop the image when you try use any image from gallery. I was looking for the path or location of wallpapers on the phone so that I just copy jpeg files.
I downloaed new galaxy s3 wallpapers and wanted to use them.
I think if you download "QuickPic" from the market...
Long press your homescreen and select wallpaper>quickpic you can drag the sliders to the full image.
Jubakuba, thanks. Quickpic did the job.

The "cropping" in the Gallery doesn't actually downsize it if you go to the full size, it just shows what you'll actually see when taking away the top/bottom bars.
Trying help my friend set up his One X with Nova Launcher. However, when we go to change icons, they don't have transparent backgrounds. Although they are saved as transparent .gif and .png formats.
Works fine on my GS3. Wondering if there is a trick with the One X ??
dont choose a picture from gallery, choose a file from your sd card. u have to browse with a file explore (ES for example) to the file
Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

Hi:
Google changed the folder to accommodate multiple users. If you're using MultiPicture Live for wallpaper for your screens, the common settings for Picture Folder no longer point to the same location. You'll need to switch to Album, deselect any folders you weren't using and hit ok. Then you can switch back to Picture Folder, you'll find the path cleared and you can navigate back to the correct location.

Help!

He is saying your old saved location is broken in the live wallpaper app and to fix it for each wallpaper you have select any album you have in you gallery and save it for each. Then go back and reselect your picture folder that you had previous to 4.2.1 and you'll be back to normal.
This is due to Google introducing virtual sdcards and the live wallpaper app not be updated to support this.

Thanks but I have a nexus 7 and it is not keeping the settings. That's why I asked specifically for step by step instructions. I use nova launcher paid version and I have seven screens. I have a folder with about ten pics for each screen. For example my leftmost first screen is Tools. The folder with the pics for it is called Tools WP. Also for the nexus seven should I be using a workaround for some home settings in the advanced settings and if so, which one?
I switched to ssLauncher, no need for MPL; set whatever pictures per screen and different ones for landscape if you want, and they all stick.
Hi:
@THEBIGWET: Sorry to be so tardy but I was out of town for the holidays. You'll find step-by-step instructions here:
http://www.nexus7nexus10.com/forum/...our-nexus-7-tablet-basic-step-step-setup.html
There may be conflicts between Nova Launcher and MultiPicture Live I recall trying Nova and having problems with MultiPicture Live. I could be wrong.
Best,
Tom
First off i think CM10 has done a very good job with the wallpapaers but i still like my own custom wallpapers and i would like to move my .png wallpaper onto the CM10 wallpaer folder so that whenever i want to chage my wallppaer there all in one folder. So yeah wheres that folder?
Just make a map on your SD card. Put your wallpapers in there. Then press the 'menu' button on your home screen and choose 'wallpaper' (or something similar). Then browse with the gallery and your wallpaper map will be in there.
You can also browse directly in the gallery and long press on a picture.
Good luck!
