[Q] Transfering wallpapers between roms

I have run countless roms and like select wallpapers from each individual rom. My question is can I take a wallpaper from say Azrael rom and load them onto a sprint lovers rom? I've tried putting them on my sdcard, renamed them accordingly, then moved to system/customize/resource, via root explorer, but they don't show up in my wallpaper selection. Could this be because it will only display x amount? Note I've moved htc_wallpaper_x.jpg as well as htc_wallpaper_small_x.jpg to the folder. I know there are other ways to set the wallpaper but where's the fun and challenge in that?

Maybe things have changed but all I do is copy the jpg to my sd card into a folder called wallpaper. Then press menu-wallpaper-gallery. Select the wallpaper folder and then choose my wallpaper.
Does that not work for you ?

Agreed, but I'd like to have the option to go to menu>wallpaper>HTC wallpapers, and be able to see them previewed along the slider bar. See what I'm saying?

SOLVED
Played with zipped rom and swapped out some files, so far so good.

[Q] Where to put live wallpapers that you download?

so i have root access on my G2, and have some live wallpapers, which are all apk files. can't i just put these in a folder that contains the live wallpapers and just choose? if so, where do i place it? thanks

Just install them like normal apps. Once installed press and hold on your home screen, select wallpapers, live wallpapers and choose your live wallpaper

Just install them like any normal APK and they shoul show up under the Live Wallpaper options.
Use a file manager to install

Wallpapers - Where Are They Stored?

Just a quick question, does anyone know where the default wallpapers are stored?
I ran a quick search and serched manually but couldn't find them. I'd just like to add a couple more to keep my SD Card folder a bit tidy.
Thanks

? you can put custom wallpapers anywhere on your phone, it'll become recognized in the gallery app.

Yep they're in there. Launcher2.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi\wallpaper_name.jpg

Hmm, that's a shame.
Although could I replace that APK with another one with a few more added? The reason being, is I want to have some wallpapers in the phone, that will show up when I go to change a wallpaper but which will not appear in my gallery.

you can make a wallpaper folder, put a .nomedia file in it and then use a filebrowser app to set your wallpaper. not the easiest thing to do but it'll work.
additionally you can download a custom gallery like quickpic that lets you hide folders.

Use a root file explorer
Browse through the system following folders
System >Media > Weather. They are all there. I use fx file explorer

I believe that I'm being missunderstood. What I'm looking for is the animations in the lockscreen.

you can add them to the "pictures" or "downloads" folder or make a new subfolder titled "wallpaper" under "pictures" if you want

OK thanks.
I thought there was something you had to edit in system/framework/

I don't know how to add them to the "wallpaper chooser" but functionally it's easy to add them from a downloads or pics folder.

To add to the wallpaper chooser, you have to go to system/app take the wallpaper apk out (this could vary depending on the ROM) and open it with zip or extract with an apk manager. Then switch the jpg's out with your own.
