Could someone tell me the location of the current wallpaper? I thought it would be in the system or data folder, but cannot find anything.I really like the current one I have (no idea where it came from) and would like to copy it to my wallpaper folder on SD card.
Here is a screen shot of it also, in case someone recognizes it and could tell me where it is from.
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
Extract that and open it up it should be in the drawable folder. Default_Wallpaper.

That brought up a default wallpaper, but not the one that I currently have. I am pretty sure I flashed something, it didn't do the specific thing I was looking for, so I restored what I had, but didn't change the wallpaper.
Does someone recognize it? That way I can pull it out of there.
What rom? It could be part if the rom in /system/media ... dunno sorry.

I am on CM9 beta 3 now. When this happened, My base setup beta 2 with Blue Mist theme but sure what else.
Thanks for your help though
Go to /data/data/com.android.settings/files and there is a file called "wallpaper" just paste it on your SD card and rename it to "wallpaper.jpg"

tried changing boot animation with adb, pushboot, flashable signed zips.
new files get pushed/flashed to right location system/customize/resources but I'm still stuck with 'Quietly Brilliant' boot.
I was able to change my splash screen, but not the boot animation
What am I missing, or doing wrong.
Suggestions, Please help

I usually leave the original where it is but rename it to bootanimation.old then paste the new one in there. Then if you want the original back you just delete the new one and rename the original back to bootanimation.zip.

Didn't know about that...but great idea

I usually use Root Explorer (found on market) to copy/paste the bootanimation. Couple thing you may want to check:
Is the bootanimation.zip compressed? If so the extract the files and re-zip using "store" as the compression setting.
Is the animation meant to be flashed or put in manually? Check this by opening the zip... if you see two folders: System, META-INF then its meant to be flashed... check the path to be sure its going to the right location. If you see 1or2 folders named part0, part1 etc accompanied by a TXT file called desc.txt, that is meant to be put in manually
Try the animations listed in my thread and if that doesnt work then post the animation your trying to load on my thread and ill look at it and see what i can do
This should come in handy. Thx!
What is the best way to lets say, extract a notification or ringtone folder from a zipped rom and transfer them to my current running rom? So it replaces the current one. I know you can move one at the time, but it takes forever.
Thanks in advance

If you have knowledge of adb create a ringtones folder which hold the ringtones you wanna add.
Adb push ringtones /system/media/audio/ringtones
This should merge them in.
Using a file explorer you can likely use a similar method. Create a folder named ringtones. Move it with root to system/media/audio. This should merge as well. Make sure to backup your stock ones or at least have them handy from another rom just in case.

Cool thanks. I have knowledge of abd. It seemed like when I did it last time all it did was add the whole folder inside the existing one, without actually replacing it...

Right. You might have pushed it to syststem/media/audio like pushing an app to system/app.
Try pushing it to the folder specifically system/media/audio/ringtones. Should make the difference.

Or you can always add them to your rom zip prior to flashing or add them now and reflash rom
In the good old day when we had so many gingerbread options, if your rom allowed it you could change boot animation simply put zip into system/media now that we are moving on to ICS that no longer works, I did some searching that a second file needs to be made or placed for it to work, I tried toolbox but most of those although they do work are droid themes or lame. So the question is was anyone able to change the boot animation with a ICS rom, without using toolbox, if so please post how you were able to do it. I love the android pissing on apple boot. Does any one have that anmation by chance most links I found were to megaupload which has been shut down.
Once you find the one you want just place it into system\media make sure its named bootanimation.zip
It works with dark side evolution ics. I know because I made a animation from scratch and I run it in my phone.

The problem with the bootanimation.zip file you were trying to use was that when I unzipped and took a look into the desc.txt file, the second line where it states what folder to run first was not named the same as the folder that contained the images. So when you were telling your phone to look in a certain folder it was never found. In case you run into other problems follow these basic steps.
You need to unzip it and make sure that it is filed in the correct order. When a bootanimation.zip is made it consist of a desc.txt and at least one folder with many or few .png images. The folder that contains the .png images must be named the same in the txt file. In order of course of how you want to see it run. All this is stated in the desc.txt.
And to put it on your phone just copy paste into system/media make sure that you can RW in that directory. Then reboot and your good.
Or an easier way just do adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media from platform tools in your SDK.
XDA upload wasn't working so here ya go!
Ok first off big thanks to cesar, I didnt get his post at first and didnt feel like bothering him any more as he has been much to helpful so in lamemans terms, you need it to be in a zip format when you put it into system/media.....within that zip should be a folder containing you pics and a text file (what ever the folder is called should also be referenced in the text file) I was a little lost when I saw boot and tried several different ways till I got it, and now I understand, also I think within the text file you can set the size of video on the first line. Again big thanks to Cesar.
What about power on sound?

I'm running the MoDaCo Ir13 4.0.4 ROM.
I can't take screenshots the ICS way (power + volume) because the "Pictures" folder seems to be read only or locked.
With any file manager, i can't write to, delete from (the modaco images folder), or rename anything in that folder.
Is there any way to fix this without reflashing the ROM?
Some people have renamed that folder and created a new one called pictures, which will work as it should.
The problem is you still can't delete the old folder even though you can rename it.

Thanks, thats worked.
I thought i tried renaming the MoDaCo folder inside the Pictures folder, and seem to remember it failing, but didn't think of renaming the original folder.
Does anybody know why it happens?
Hello.
It has been mentioned in a number of reviews of the P6 that there is a selection of a large number of themes for the device. Does anyone know where this is and/or how to get these themes?
I rather like the default dark brushed aluminium theme myself, but I wouldn't mind having a look at some of these other themes...
http://zh.ui.vmall.com/theme.php?mod=list&display=1&model=P6&version=EMUI1.5&last_select=model
Here you can download themes. If they are downloaded in .zip format just change the extension to .hwt
Then move this file to HWThemes on your sdcard. The theme should be automatically recognised now.
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=460773&st=540#entry23766470
Need a root explorer+sqlite editor (like SQLite editor)
Go to /data/user/0/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ and execute settings.db , enter systemex and search theme_no_online, change false for true
Now, you can download online themes
but are these themes in english or chinese?
There are in your system language

Enormous thanks for that, I'm downloading a few right now...
Do not text edit the .db file. It caused mine to boot loop.
Luckily deleting the file in recovery mode with adb worked.
Bootloops with non-removable battery is no fun

to do this does my phone need to be rooted or anything?
really not looking to cause problems with the phone. would rather keep one of the default themes than try to get a new one and f*ck up the phone. (i'm not all tech so would have no idea how to fix it)

No, root is not required to do this. Just connect the phone to USB using MTP and transfer the .hwt file to the folder HWThemes.

i downloaded the theme i wanted from that webiste and it was .hwt format
i connected my p6 using mtp opened the folder HWThemes then there are 2 folders .cache and Diytheme
i tried placing the .hwt file outside these 2 subfolders but within the main HWThemes folder
i tried placing it in the Diytheme folder
then there are 3 folders named "audio" "preview" and "wallpaper" in the .cache folder - i put the .hwt theme in the.cache folder but left it outside these subsubfolders. i also tried putting in in the preview folder
anyway the device didnt pick it up on ANY of the occasions (unless i have to reboot? for it to recognise)
(each time i deleted it from the previous folder before placing it in the new one so that the .hwt file was only present once)
also there are 2 files in the main HWThemes folder called "unzippedpackagelist.serv" and "installedwallpaperlist.serv" - idk what there purpose is.
