When my phone restored, it loaded a wallpaper that I no longer have. Where is the image file of the current wallpaper used stored?

Due to a few errors on my part, I lost the file on my sdcard which I use as a wallpaper. Now, since it's still my wallpaper and my homescreens haven't broken across reboots, I get the feeling that Android keeps a copy of that file somewhere in the filesystem. Anyone happen to know if that's the case (and where it is), or how I could get that image file back?
Which directory is the image file for the lockscreen in? I need to delete it.
When I change the wallpaper the locksreen wallpaper changes to the same picture every time (not the same as wallpaper). So I was hoping that maybe I could remove the file for the lockscreen wallpaper and thus resetting the setting? Even after full wipe and flash of different ROMs, it still is the same picture every time..
no one?

So basically i've got Mike's ARHD rom flashed and the code-red theme on top (with 3.0 lockscreen). As it stands whatever my home wallpaper is, its the same for the lockscreen, and I'd lke to have a different one. So does anyone know where the lockscreen wallpaper source file is located, im hoping i can just switch the jpg i want in and then my home and lockscreen wallpapers will be different.
any ideas?
given that i've understood you:
i dont have ARHD, and never used it so i havent seen the lockscreen wallpaper and normal wallpaper. Im using Stock ROM and the lock screen is see-through so i see the home wallpaper when its locked.
but anyway... in my stock ROM its under /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk (it might be called 'LockScreen.apk' or something, just search).
Using Root Explorer (or something of the likes) View the .apk file and go to 'res' folder (its normally in the res folder, if not then check the others), you should find it in one of the folders in the 'res' folder.
I changed my lockscreen wallpaper, now I fancy returning to the default (red starburst design). I cannot find it ANYWHERE. Where is the default lock screen wallpaper?
I couldn't find it either.
I could only access it if I wanted to change the phone wallpaper (not the lockscreen wallpaper) but it still didnt give its location. It is probably buried in a zip file or something

Probably stored in a system apk (like SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk/touchwiz-framework-res.apk). Browse through some of them with 7-zip, extract any /res/drawable***** folders and look through them, you might find it. If you do, just copy it to your SD card and load it from there.
its inside framework-res.apk under system/framework.
how do i get into system/framework?

any filemanager just about. I use Linda/root explorer.
Wrong y'all
Go with root explorer to data/data/com.coliris.media/files and delete zzzzzz_lockscreen_wallpaper.jpg and you will auto revert to default whatever it is in framework-res.
Or you can delete gallery data In settings and restart phone.

Its Located in this directory
/system/app/TwWallpaperChooser.apk
Better yet intall the ASTRO file manager then hit the search button for the file.
Hello.
I download via stock wallpaper live wallpaper. It will be saved in the folder of my downloaded live wallpaper. They stay there for a while and then disappear and are no longer visible in the downloads. When I find them in the file manager, they are stored there.
What could be the problem?
You can try to uninstall wallpaper app via https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools (a simple tool with his own UI using ADB and java) then re install it, could fix it ?
I'll try. Thanks
So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the problem still persists.
You can see in the screenshot.
There are 3 live wallpapers downloaded. Each has a folder where the wallpaper itself - video and sound.
And a separate file will be created for each folder, which is marked on the screenshot.
When I delete this file, the wallpaper is not visible in the wallpaper stock application, but the wallpaper is still functional.
It's just that this file disappears by itself after a while and I don't see the downloaded wallpaper. It is not clear to me why the file disappears by itself.
So, the problem is solved in its own way.
1. I'm downloading live wallpaper.
2. I immediately have to set it as a background, for example a home screen.
3. A folder with the video itself is created automatically.
4. I move the separate video to the root folder of the live wallpapers and leave only the separate video there.
5. All other created files, including what mysteriously disappeared itself, must be deleted!
6. A separate video file must remain there.
7. You can also record your own video and paste it into the root folder of live wallpapers and it will appear in live wallpapers and you can use it like other live wallpapers.
