How to grab a wallpaper off CM9? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Was wondering if anyone knew were I could get or how to grab one of the CM9 wallpapers off the rom. I really like a couple of them like samurai x and would like to use them on other roms. Any help gets +1. Thanks

Best bet is if you're good with breaking down ROMs is grabbing what you want from the framework of cm9 and loading into your ROM. Usually loaded wallpapers are found there.
Otherwise a long Google image search can do it unless someone has already pulled the WP you want and posts it here.

Ya I already looked in the rom and could not find it anywhere. Searched Google, didn't think of searching xda though , good idea. Thanks. Does any one know were it would be in the framework?

In stock ICS framework it is in res/drawable-hdpi, default_wallpaper.jpg.
You should be able to use winrar or 7zip to extract it from the apk.
Edit: Or just extract the entire framework apk and browse for it.

Not too sure if this helps but I was able to extract the wallpapers from the CMWallpapers.apk using Peazip on my pc.
I'll zip it & upload it here & you tell me if that's what you were looking for.
I'll also upload the Samurai X wallpaper by itself if that's the only one you want/need

You guys are awesome. Thanks.

[THEME] ICS'ed framework files for Syndicate Ice 1.1

a few notes: all images were kanged from Overstew's ICS theme for Calkin's ROM.
I'm not a themer (hence the .apk files), but I love Jez2cool's Sydicate Ice ROM. So I took the images from Overstew's ICS theme and copied them to the appropriate Syndicate Ice 1.1 apks. No other changes were made.
Crap. Can't link to images (or the framework-res.apk (which is over 8megs) ) because I haven't posted enough. Ummm, bear with me here... Any suggestions on how to get link up?
Nice work! Hope to see more work from you... the locals are ravenous for more themes... I think if u post about 8 more posts throughout the threads you will be able to post that framework...
File is too big to post. Would love to get the mediafire link up for everyone tho.

Hey venum, do you happen to have an empty zip(with the updater script etc) available we could just throw these in to flash?(with like 7zip or something). Sure I could find one if I looked around but it'd be helpful to have one near the top of the thread

Lol sure. This is the stock eg30 theme. Keep in mind you will have to resign the zip to get it to run correctly after u add the apks (sorry if u already knew that... u can just delete the extra apks in it...)
http://www.mediafire.com/?b2pgm7gpkbb8bcs
So that would turn it into cwm flashable zip?

yes that's all you need. If you want take a look at the updater script, in the Meta-infs/Google/com folder i believe? It'll have the language there needed to tell cwm what to do, think you don't want to use just a standard notepad app to write as it may fail.
Edit: sorry, the updater script is in meta-inf/com/google/android

Im running ICE right now and love it...porting this theme over would be nice. I like the rom as is, but having options is always nice.

Sounds pretty straight forward. I'm gonna take a crack at it this morning post-brunch.
Anyone know where the graphics for the Settings menu (Wireless and network; Call settings; Sound, etc) are located? Would like to change those as well but uncertain where to find them. Thanks.

Themes. Where to get the templates from?

so i kinda started to get into theming and im doing well i think lol but i wanna know how to get templates for the roms i wanna make a theme for i got one for el30 (thanks travmofosho) but i wanna try and theme cm7.2 beta 1 but im not sure if i would have to theme the orginal rom file or is there a certain way to get a template or something less than the full rom that i can just flash over it?
Well the key to theming is proper punctuation and grammar.
So start with that.
And really all you need to do is download a ROM and rip the files out. If you want to theme CM9, download CM9 and extract the appropriate files. Same for EL30.
I remember someone had the files pre-ripped and ready to go back in the day. Maybe you could be the one to pick that back up!
It depends on whether you want it to work with theme changer or not. If not then just pull the framework-res and systemui out of the ROM. But for CM7 if you want it to work with theme changer you will need to rip apart an apk that is set up for it like androidian or cyanogen from the ROM or download one that is close to what you want and mod that. If you google making a theme for cm7 a tutorial pops up in the list.

Lol, well alright, im just used to typing without caring. I'm not trying to get it to work with the theme chooser app. I just want it to be a flashable .zip since it seems that development for cm7 has kind of slowed down so I can use my theme until its updated. So basically all i have to do is delete all the files from the ROM and keep the things that get themed like systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and the other things?
And about making templates for other ROMs i would just make them and post them in the themes section..? I need an account to upload files though. I'll have to sign up with something.
XDA allows up to 12 Mb in a zip file which will handle most themes with a couple of system apps. And yup, you are good to. Just yank out the framework and systemui and have at it.

Not to hard you need to install java developer kit... and then the android sdk.. and install the resources for gingerbread or 2.3... once thats done get apk manager or apktool. you use apktool/manager to decompile the res and change the values/colors.xml.. its a little hard to explain to someone who just started youll get there though i did eventually.
You could always throw it into the kitchen and change the background color of the menus or change the text to white.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium
I think the kitchen would b an easier solution lol or at least just for now
But I'm having one other problem
I used a template provided by travmofosho (I think that's his name srry if I spelled wrong) and the bootanimation says "nashdogg" lol cuz he made that for him and I can't seem to get rid of it I tried applying a boot ani from the kitchen but it doesn't stick over it how could I get that out..?

Actually that's possible. I can try workout on that one.
If you don't mind, I would like to port that in my new custom ROM too. It looks cool.
I will spend sometimes later to figure it out. Let you know shortly.
Ps: you can try it out yourself too if you know how and which file to decompile. Otherwise, sit tight and wait.

i think i have minor down which image file they use. however, i assume the file has to compile under .9.png file method which is quite impossible for me to achieve as i am still learning.
so i can't really help you with this. i can be wrong in all this. sorry mate.
gotta continue with my rom.
Well in gingerbread the file is in systemUI.apk and its called status_bar_background.png
No .9png's to mess with. Im not sure about ICS though, if you wanna upload your systemUI I can take a look.
edit: no it doesn't i'm not on samsung sorry.

Help with my theam.

OK so I'm trying to learn how to them but I a little stuck. OK so I opened framework. A pk then all the drawables made all my changes. I changed the dialer the text select and all of the top icons like batt status and a whole bunch of stuff. Then i made a zip. Of the framework folder and the meta.inf but it would trybtp install the ROM. So I had to re flash my ROM. Then what I did was I took the meta.inf from another theme. And made that into a zip along with my framework folder. This made some of the changes that I made but not all of them. For ex didn't change the batt colors. But it changed the dialer. Didn't change non of the toggles at the top but it changed the pop up browser... Help plzz.

A ROM's updater-script is a lot different than a themes. The reason it failed is because a ROM's script checks for certain files before flashing (such as the kernel, certain apps, etc...). When it saw your zip didn't have it, it aborted the flash.

Wow, didn't know I was known here lol. I accidentally came here. I meant to go to T-Mobile s2 but came to s3 lol. Glad I could help anyway. I wouldn't mod a ROM's updater-script. You're better off using someone else's theme and replacing your own files with there's. Which of course, you already did so you're on the right track.
