[Q] Epic Default Wallpapers

Does anyone have a dump of the Epic wallpapers? There's a couple of ones I'd like to use on my Evo, particularly the space shuttle launch one. Thanks.
Here is a zip with all wallpapers from the samsung epic!
EDIT: Just as a reference, usually the wallpapers are found inside the launcher, all I did was download a custom rom, extract the zip, then change the file extention of "launcher.apk" (found in /system/app) to launcher.zip. Then I unzipped the launcher and looked in the folders till i found the wallpapers. They were in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder.
Enjoy!
been trying to figure this out as well, thanks urushiol!

Settings.apk white

Hello.
It is possible to change settings.apk background to white? Like in galaxy tab or Droid X 3.0 ROM?
I lookd on all XMLs on framework and settings and nothing found (i think....)
This could be it.
Location: \system\app\
File: settings.apk
Image: res\drawable\setting_bg.png
I have not tried to change mine yet.

Porting themes

Hi,
Is it possible if somebody can guide me on how to port themes.
I tried using the Theme porter and placed the i9100 theme(SystemUI,framework etc) to new folder and in the old folder i placed the i9100g (similar files) and ran the script. With this i do have the system files but i dnt know how to get the META-inf folder for a successful flash.
Is this the correct way to port? (there was a guide which had mentioned about decompiling the framework apk but what exactly do we do with the decompiled folder? since i dnt want to make any changes and just port the theme A-Z.

[APPS] Note II APK files (Sprint and AT&T)

As several System dumps of the Note II software and several people requesting apps, I thought sharing all the APK's as seperate files would be usefull. With big thanks to oka1, sextape and sxtp-forum you can download both the Sprint ans AT&T (both US) Note II (L900) apk's from this link:
Sprint based Note II: http://www.mediafire.com/?nmcbac6m94r9p (lib files)
AT&T based Note II: http://www.mediafire.com/?8ey3nb7u8p54a (lib files)
To install the files, you have three options:
1) Push the files with ADB to /system/app and set the permissions to 644
2) Copy the files with a tool like ES File Explorer to /system/app and set the permissions to rw- r-- r--
3) Create a CWM flashable ZIP file
Please note that some apps are already available as installable zip, e.g. the Camera and Gallery app packed by kristofpetho and the Paperartist & Mediahub app by qureshali. Happy installing/modding/hacking!

Which tool do you use to decompile and recompile framework-res.apk Lollipop?

Hello,
I need your help!!
I have been customizing my Galaxy Tab S, which I recently updated to Lollipop, and I have successfully customized SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk, etc. However, when I wanted just change a value in framework-res, I got many FC's. I cannot even open Settings.
So, I decompiled framework-res and recompiled it without changing anything. The result is the same. I got many FC's and not even the power button is working. And, I need to reflash original framework-res.
As I normally use Apk Multi-tool (with Apktool 2.2.2.), I tested Advanced Apktool (4.1.0). The result is the same and the recompiled framework-res is not usable.
What am I doing wrong? Maybe there is something special about this framework-res?
Maybe it is the version of Apktool? What is the version which works for framework-res?
Which tool do you use to work with framework-res from Galaxy Tab S (Lollipop)?
By the way, I did not have any problem with Kitkat framework-res from Galaxy Tab S. Neither did I with Lollipop framework-res for Galaxy Note 3.
Can someone help?
