Changing settings wallpaper - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

How would I go about changing this craaaazy wallpaper in the settings from this theme? Is there something I can modify or a system file I can change? It's the Toxic theme for Darkside TW ROM. I love everything about it except this. Thanks for the help guys! :thumbup:

Well, this isn't home screen related. It's in the system somewhere. It's like the system wallpaper for settings and stuff. It's just kinda always there on certain system pages. Like when you open an app and it's loading up. This wallpaper is here. The stock is below.

CRAP ! LOL I know someone knows. I am sure it is simple enough. Just gotta know what file to replace in the system . . .

Is it only in the settings? If so you could decompile the settings.apk and see where it is

Not just settings. That was just the easiest way to get a screen shot. It's hard to explain. It's like the "default", background for the system. Whether your in settings or transitioning between apps or whatever. It's there.

Its in the framework-res.apk I think I put it in the drawable nodpi folder
Use 7zip and open the framework-res.apk check that folder and swap it out with a png image the same size then push to the phone

Hey thanks for helping me out. I am sure you have alot on your plate other than this. lol. If I can just ask one follow up question or two. When you say "Push to the phone" Should I modify the files in the .zip and then flash that to the phone? And also when you say "swap it out with a .png image of the same size" Is that just as simple as converting the file by changing the extension? or do I need an actual file converter? And then when you say the same size are you reffering to the literal kb or mb size? or the resolution? I hope I am asking these questions clear and concise so there easy to answer. Thanks again. this is an awesome theme. Just a creepy background. lol. The guy pops up every time I do something lol. It's like WTF? lol

Push means use adb.
Same size as in 92x92 or whatever the size of the image was. And rename it to .png

I just had an "ah ha" moment. In order to edit the .apk I would need to hook up to a pc to use a program such as ADB. Got it. I was able to convert another image to a .png image. I have it figured out. I just think it's bit more than I want to do. I am always around my phone but seldom in front of a PC where I could have the necessary tools to modify it, as apparently there isn't an app I can use to edit the framework-res.apk on my phone. Unless I am missing something. I will deal with the creepy guy for now lol.

You go into your system with adb find the directory for framework go into it look for the app framework_res.apk pull it using command prompt once you have it out then you want to open it up with winner,or 7zip which ever you use then look for this image status_bar_background.png edit it using your favorite tool for editing I use Gimp....after you edit it you need to save it and close up your editing tool then you need to push the app back to your system.... I'm going to post a link to a thread that is good for learning how to theme check it out it will get you started.....

[bootanimation] Android Peeing On Apple w/ Sound

Here is the Andy the Android peeing on Apple but I added a sound file to go along with it... I set it up to work AOKP Hercules Milestone 6 4.0.4 ICS. If you have something different you may need to rename the audio to something else.
For this ROM, copy both the bootanimation.zip and boot_audio.mp3 into the "system/media" folder and simply reboot your phone...
I am not responsible for anything that should happen to your phone... But it should work just fine...
bootanimation: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85894836/bootanimation.zip
audio: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/85894836/boot_audio.mp3
Video of my phone booting up with sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms3z82DDQBU
Hey thanks a lot for this. I have AOKP Milestone 6 as well and I can't seem to find the "system/media" folder that's required to place the animation and audio in. Is there a specific I should search for to replace the animation with?
Where is DL link!?

You have to have root explorer or any file manager. In the main screen, hit the "UP" button. It's usually the up arrow icon. Press it twice and there should be folders. Scroll down til you see 'System'. Not 'sys'. Don't forget to turn the folder into a R/W file from the R/O it's already set by default.
EDIT: If you have root explorer, it should start you off on the page where you could just scroll down to 'System' and find the 'Media' file in there.

Is you phone rooted and do you have a Root Explorer/File Manager?
Can you do this on a stock ICS rooted ROM?
Can you remove carrier splash screens via this method? Asking from rooted stock ICS. Trying to get rid of that ugly Telus splash screen.

Extract/unzip the apk and in the resources folder it'll probably be in one of the drawable folders.

Don't know if you're using gmail or just email but this link shows how to change email to black
If Gmail, there are some nice Inverted 4.2.1 gmail apks out there... I've used Rujelus22 and DarkHorse Inverted gapps and themed apps... work perfect on Note2. Google search "Rujelus22 inverted gmail" or DarkHorse gmail 4.2.1.... then extract the gmail.apk, fix permissions, push to /system/app folder. Be sure to rename old apks in /data/app and or in /system/app folders prior to push (so you can revert bsck if you want to)

Using Root Explorer or something simlar navigate to:
System/Csc/features.xml
Open the file to edit. Scroll near the bottom to the EMAIL section and change the TRUE to FALSE
That should give you the overview. Backup the features xml to be safe.
