Hi, I have an icon pack called goolors, which includes a wallpaper that I particularly like...
So anyway, I wanna mess around with this wallpaper and try to create a few colour variations using picsart app, but I cannot find this icon packs (or any other icon pack for that matter) wallpaper files in my file manager (es explorer)...
-Anyone know where these files can be found?
(They're not just in with the regular android wallpapers by the way...)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers..!

It should be located in the .apk itself. You need to open up the .apk file on your PC via winrar and find it somewhere in res/drawable folder.
EDIT: Or you can go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210163 and ask the author for the original wallpapers
Extract the apk like a zip, then browse to /res/drawable-nodpi/. All the wallpapers are located there (they are named wall_1.jpg, wall_2.jpg, ...)

Sorted! Thanks a lot, I used chromium's method seeing as I'm not near a PC, and it worked just fine, already got the wallpaper open in picsart and ready to edit.
Cheers guys, yer help is much appreciated.

I looked around but not able to find my answer....
I see the font folder in /system/fonts but I don't think it's the correct one. How do I add font styles to show up directly under "display>screen display>font style"
Is there a way to just extract fonts lets say from another rom and copy and paste?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I found font switcher in the market that seems to work pretty well. But still would like to know where the fonts are hiding...

The app is called FlipFonts. Here's a thread that has a good many fonts you can install just like any app.

Just a quick question, does anyone know where the default wallpapers are stored?
I ran a quick search and serched manually but couldn't find them. I'd just like to add a couple more to keep my SD Card folder a bit tidy.
Thanks
? you can put custom wallpapers anywhere on your phone, it'll become recognized in the gallery app.

Yep they're in there. Launcher2.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi\wallpaper_name.jpg
Hmm, that's a shame.
Although could I replace that APK with another one with a few more added? The reason being, is I want to have some wallpapers in the phone, that will show up when I go to change a wallpaper but which will not appear in my gallery.
you can make a wallpaper folder, put a .nomedia file in it and then use a filebrowser app to set your wallpaper. not the easiest thing to do but it'll work.
additionally you can download a custom gallery like quickpic that lets you hide folders.
Where is the default wallpaper location on the T989? I have downloaded some nice wallpapers, but I want to know how to add them to the phone so they can be selected from the wallpaper menu.

you can add them to the "pictures" or "downloads" folder or make a new subfolder titled "wallpaper" under "pictures" if you want
OK thanks.
I thought there was something you had to edit in system/framework/

I don't know how to add them to the "wallpaper chooser" but functionally it's easy to add them from a downloads or pics folder.

To add to the wallpaper chooser, you have to go to system/app take the wallpaper apk out (this could vary depending on the ROM) and open it with zip or extract with an apk manager. Then switch the jpg's out with your own.

The stock home launcher supports different icons. Long press on an icon and touch the paint brush to choose a icon or use custom.

look for icon packs on xda or google play
if its an apk, you can extract it, and use the individual .png file icons

Most icon packs say they are for certain launchers. How would we go about extracting them for use on a stock phone?
Apk is basically a zip file just extract. I think ypu can use 7zip or zarchive on android.

Others, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but they are built in to an apk, so you would have to extract the apk, change the icons, and then reconsruct the apk.

I believe you're right. It's been a while since I've decompiled a launcher. In any event, if anyone does need to decompile and recompile an .apk I would recommend elesbb's APK Tool GUI. Makes the whole job very easy. Once you have all of your icon images you should be able to drag and drop them into their appropriate folders and recompile.
Thank you for the replies! I was hopping to be an easy-breeze doing but I guess not... I will try the tool you recommended: ) Wish me luck
