Missing static wallpapers in Froyo

I apologise if anyone has answered this one previously. I did do a surch, but the results have been pretty inconclusive, mostly returning threads that are asking the very question that I am about to ask, which is this:
Does anyone have an answer to the missing wallpapers problem that is affecting some Froyo ROMs? I have an unbranded and rooted Orange Desire, and have recently installed a couple of Froyo ROMS (in particular this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775 and a similar one from Paul over at MoDaCo - I'm not a great fan of ROMS cooked to within an inch of their lives, and prefer to stick as close to stock as possible), yet when I go to Settings -> Personalize -> Home Wallpaper -> HTC Wallpapers they are all missing.
The wallpapers appear to be sitting in /system/customize/resource but the Home Wallpaper section can't see them. I do know that they were not in the /system/customize/resource location on 2.1.
Is there any way of getting them back so that they can be selected in Home Wallpaper?

I take it that's a "no", then?

Have you made any progress on this? I have the same problem.

Same problem, i made some requestsin several forums and I don't have an answer

I had this problem with the rom from paul and had also posted a thread about this (also no reply)
Heres my post, giving the full background...I shall post the fix afterwards...
Hi Paul,
First of all, many thanks for the great rom. Its fast, stable, and has been a pleasure to use.
I do have one problem, however, and was hoping you would have a idea.....
I bought the phone from a third party phone shop in Madrid and it came with 2.1 installed. There was only English (german), English (Switzerland), and french language variants installed - no native English, and no Spanish languages at all shown in the languages menu.
(Bit of an oversight for a Spanish shop to buy phones without Spanish, but i digress)
I suspect that phone was imported from German/french region countries, and this does seem right as the box has german writing on it...
By default after installing the 2.2 rom from this thread (rooting beforehand and then installing the appropriate radio) there was only English (German), English (Switzerland), as with 2.1 - Exactly the same.
Originally I installed the locales list from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=locales), cleared the Customization Settings Provider data, and after force closing had all of the extra required languages....Great. Result.
However, I noticed that all of the wallpapers were missing, although the live wallpapers exist. Odd I thought....I took a look using adb and could see all of the wallpapers in system/customize/resource.
So, I reinstalled the same rom again, as I was not sure exactly when the wallpapers had gone missing (when applying the locale patch, wiping the data afterwards, etc)...After installing the ROM again I could see all of the wallpapers
So this time I though I would ONLY clear the Customization Settings Provider data, and force close, without installing the locales list patch first.
I did this and I could again see the English languages, Spanish, and many more.
However, again, all the static wallpapers were missing. And again I can see them in the directory in adb.
Can you shed any light on why clearing the Customization Settings Provider data, and after force closing, causes the wallpapers to disappear, even though they are seen in the directory ?
All the wallpaper files are set up with the following permissions:
-rw-r--r--
If I use astro to look at the directory contents I can see the pictures of all the wallpapers, so they are readable from within froyo.
I am thinking that some cache needs clearing or something. I cannot see, however, what the customization settings provider has to do with the wallpapers !
I'm using live wallpapers at the moment but would like to choose defaults if possible. also if I want to sell the phone I would like it to work completely !
for the record I did install your rom a few days ago, did install the locale zip and it did show the wallpapers (although not initially - they appeared all of a sudden and I have no clues why). However, up to press, with the new install I did last night, there are no static wallpapers at all.
I could not see anything obvious in the logcat when entering the menu for the HTC wallpapers.
Kind regards,
James.
And the fix (well or me at least)...
1. reinstall the rom from paul, In used the non radio deodexed version (DONT REBOOT AT THIS STAGE)
2. installed the locales zip from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=locales
3. reboot at last
4. You should then have the options for all languages (you might have already without the locales zip - but if not for installing the locales zip I would only have had the default languages as shown in my above post)
5. You should then (fingers crossed) have the wallpapers )DO NOT CLEAR Customization Settings Provider data as this is what appears to be what looses the wallpapers.
Now I´m not saying that this is the fix for you What I can say, however, is that had EXACTLY the same problem on pauls ROM after clearing the Customization Settings Provider data, with or without the locales zip
I have now performed the above twice and it worked both times -Just might remember NEVER to clear Customization Settings Provider data
You may of course not wish to use a rom such as pauls. However, I don't want bells a whistles (Actually tried a more customized rom before and found it to be slower)
Hope this helps,
James.

Galaxy W - changing ui language

Hi, I have a newbie question about android
Recently I've bought a new galaxy w. I've turned it on and figured out that it has a support of English and Malaysian language.
I'm a russian native speaker, so I would like to change a ui to russian language.
I mean not just being able to type sms in russian, but the whole ui (like application names, menues, and so on).
So, I would like to know how conceptually it can be done?
Is it just a matter of changing some locale related files or I need to install something?
Thanks a lot in advance

Install more locale app from google play

Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer and sorry for the late reply
I've installed this application, but it seems like it provides only partial solution.
I saw that some applications really were named in russian (like google maps and google play)
But it did nothing with menus and icons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, and so on).
When I chose Settings -> Language I don't see russian language and I guess this is the problem. I understand that more locale application only changes the locale and its good enough for applications having internationalization support by themselves but it doesn't affect the whole UI language of the system.
The issue looks deeper than only installing the right locale.
Meanwhile I've read about different ROMs available. I'm still vague on details but can ROM installation resolve the problem? If so, what ROM should I install?
Some more details that can shed some light:
- I'm located in Israel and the phone is bought there
- Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXMLM3-CL1103265
[email protected] #3
-Baseband version
I8150DXLC1
- Android version 2.3.6
-PDA I8150 DXLM3 (to obtain this I used *#*#1234#*#*)
Disclaimer, I'm quite a technical guy (programmer with ~15 years experience) so stuff like rooting the phone and installing custom modes of os version doesn't scare me, I just only never dealt with android phones
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
After reading and learning a little bit, I've tried to root the device, but with no luck
I tried all 3 methods I've found
here
but no one didn't really work
I'm quite sure I did everything like it was explained.
In the first method it wrote me the the update.zip was installed successfully, but after the reboot the phone wasn't rooted.
I've paid attention that in logs (accessible through recovery console there are a lot of messages of type:
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state - looks like its an invalid path.
So any help will be appreciated here
Thanks
OK. It looks like after a couple of hours I've got a root access to the phone.
Thought someone can be interested...
I've used the first method and it didn't work.
I've made factory reset (also available in recovery console) and then came across mounting option in menu.
So I've mounted everything I could there and then re-applied the update.zip. Rebooted the phone and now it seems to have a root access (I have a superuser application).
Now the next challenge will be installing the ROM with russian language native support (in android jargon "flashing" ) with Odin.
I've downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. And planning to use this tutorial
And I believe I'll be happy with my russian language
Since my experience with this stuff now is impressive _one_ day, so
could someone point me whether i'm in the right direction at all?
Thanks

Install the latest firmware XXLM8, i think it support russian language via the tutorial how to install via odin, then u will need to use the first method to root the firmware again...thats all

It looks I did exactly as you wrote, and it worked great
I didn't find XXLM8 firmware on sammobile, instead I used XXLM6 which is also good enough for my needs.
Thanks a lot for your help, mohza!

Add locale with ADB?

Hello everyone. So, today I learned to use ADB (yay!) I installed MoreLocale (for whichever time...) but it still doesn't work the way it did. So, here come the questions:
1. Is it possible to add a locale (hidden by default - I downloaded Language Enabler, and it shows there are hidden languages) solely through ADB?
2. If yes, what is the command?
3. If not, is there any other way to add another language/locale?
P.S. As some of you might have mentioned, lately I've been basically spamming the forum. But there is only one reason for it: I want to make my phone as much Russian as possible. As soon as Russian will be added (not like now - only a few apps are translated), I'll stop creating new threads and posts.
P.P.S. I'm posting here for the reason that not each phone contains each language, and so it might be useful for everyone how to add a locale with ADB if it's possible.

Anyone? For almost a week no response?

[Q] How to add or enable additional system languages?

Long story short - when I played with the tablet at store before buying I specifically checked the available system languages (in the Settings) and was able to easily change to any language. But upon buying tablet (Pro 10.1) and starting it up I can only see few languages available and no option to add more. Does anyone know how I can add additional languages? Answer would be highly appreciated as I intend to gift tablet to non English speaker and having native system language is a must.

Also looking for the answer. Apps which set locale and language dont work (without root anyway)

All right,
I found the answer and enabled all system languages. The good news is that the whole procedure took about 15 minutes with no glitches. The bad news is that the only way to do this is by rooting the tablet first. All the system languages are available in firmware but Samsung in their typical 'wisdom' decided to disable all but few that are prevalent in US. Other languages can be enabled via simple configuration file change but this requires ROOT access privileges. So you need to rot tablet first. I used the instructions at this forum in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661198.
For drivers I installed Kies and upgraded it to the latest version (I am using Windows 8.1 laptop and USB 3.0 port), I also loaded ODIN from the link for the 10.1 tablet. The whole process was very straightforward as long as you stay on the instruction path to the tee. One gotcha for me was that security pattern was not recognized after root, good thing I remembered PIN code. So I would advise to disable tablet lock screen security prior to rooting.
Once tablet was rooted and I disabled Knox with SuperSU, I downloaded market app called 'Language Enabler'. Language enabler simply lists all languages that Samsung supports and once you make selection of which you want to enable, it switches them on in configuration file. You need to restart tablet afterwards for changes to take effect. SuperSU granted this app root privileges and I was off to add more languages. Interestingly, when I first tried to only enable languages that I was interested in (Russian and Ukrainian), I did not find them upon rebooting tablet. Maybe it was due to the fact that Language Enabler listed multiple variations of them and not all were in the firmware. So if you try at first and can't find your language after reboot, just enable all languages and then see in the settings if your language shows up.
To finish up, I went to Samsung keyboard configuration and downloaded keyboard layouts for my languages.
That's all.
Here's screenshot of the Tab Language settings after modification:

Nice job. I'm having the same problem but at this time I don't want to Root to the tablet just yet. It is frustrating that while these languages are already pre-installed and taking up the space anyway, we cannot see them in the menu. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

URGENT HELP: pre-purchase questions

hello
i read a lot bout this mobile and its price is awesome for someone like me who's ready to purchase mid-range mobile for close price...but i lost with ROMs and i'm afraid to buy it and experience hell with it.
i'd purchase it from chinese online store which provide some ROM supports google play and semi translated ROM , so for sure i must be sure to have necessary knowledge before purchasing .
1- what's with heating issue? is it from ROM or the mobile ? cause i read a lot of threads worldwide regarding this matter, and i dont know if it's reasonable or unbearable all the time heating?
2- official ROM is indian one here which should be ZUI 2.0.093_ST_16081 , so im assuming it's %100 english language which is perfect, but i'm from arabian country so i need arabic keyboard and encoding.
i believe arabic keyboard is easy to obtain once i download google keyboard and add language, but for encoding i need someone to confirm it, cause i want to browse arabic contents from apps like whatsapp or from chrome browser, i want to know if arabic would displayed correctly or it won't be supported and appears like rubbish?
ps. i dont want arabic UI for the device.
3- GPS, i read some threads saying that official ROM is the best , and some/most custom roms have some issues, is that so far ?
4- i love STOCK ANDROID experience, never interested with extra customization whether it was official OEM rom or 3rd party ROM, especially avoiding bloatware as possible, who's giving me such a STABLE experience, is it... ?
A- official indian rom?
B- official 3rd party ROMs like cosmic-os 7.1.1_20170317_1.4 , CitrusCAF-3.1-TANGERINE or mokee MK60.1-z2-170413-RELEASE ?
i know there's other roms like lineage , but i wont use something unofficial.
5- is this the correct official indian rom that if installed, would support OTA and receive nougat in may? Z2132_Q01017.1_M_ZUI_2.0.093_ST_160811
sorry for long thread , please help me ASAP if possible, shipping is taking 3-4 weeks so i must order soon before offer/stock finish.
regards

First of all, hey there, glad to know you're wondering buying this phone. Actually, it's not a mid-phone, I guess, 'cause many other (like Huawei P9 Lite, Galaxy S6 Edge) phones are weaker than the ZUK comparing their specs.
1. Not sure where you have read about heating, but I'm not having such a problem. Using stock China version Nougat ROM just with unlocked bootloader and rooted. I haven't tried any custom ROM yet, so cannot answer if it heats with custom ROM. So to conclude, the heat depends not only on the phone itself or the ROM that's installed, but it's important where you'e living too, e.g. in hot countries or so increases your phone temperature.
2. Yeah, after everything you can set up your own language using G-board, btw, encoding is fine, I'm Lithuanian and it has many letters that other countries doesn't have, for example, ąčęė and so on, and the phone displays it perfectly, just unsure how recipient sees it, but I assume it's upon recipients' phone settings.
3. It makes sense - Custom ROM aren't officially released and it's created by some developers; and this is the reason why some custom ROM may have certain problems. On the other hand, GPS /w official ROM works flawlessly.
4. About bloatware.. There's lots of it on stock ROM. Some of them you can delete, some of them you cannot. The only way for now is to unlock your bootloader (otherwise you won't be able to root your phone - and I don't know why when many other phones can be rooter without unlocking bootloader, but whatever..), then root your phone and remove manually using some kind of app (System APP Remover, etc) or just download AdAway. It's all upon you.
5. Nougat is already released, you should receive it either with China or Indian version ROM. But yeah, you must be on that kind of stock version that you've written (I upgraded from that version to Nougat)
If you've any other questions quote me, 'll give a try to answer ASAP.
