Is there a way to add/change wallpapers to the wallpaper gallery when you press menu and wallpaper from the home screen? sorry if this is a dumb question ive been tryin to figure it out and can't...thanks.
Pretty sure they're system files man.
Use the app Wallpaper Set and Save to set full quality wallpapers from your SD card (with none of that crappy jpg compression).

oh ok....thanks man.
when I put wallpapers on my SD card in bmp or png format I don't see any compression artifacts at all with the default "set as wallpaper" feature, as opposed to jpg files.
Does anyone know to add pictures to the "Wallpaper Gallery menu"???? I use the stock ROM rooted which only comes with only about 4 or 5 wallpapers embedded into the Wallpaper Gallery menu however I decompiled the TwWallpaperChooser.apk and found there's waaaay more wallpapers than what the OS actually allows us to choose from... In the end I would like to have all the wallpapers shown under the Wallpaper Gallery menu. Can anyone help with this? Anyone??
I went to sys/apps/twwallpaper picker.
Extracted all.sent as email to myself.
Downloaded.
Went to gallery and then applied wallpaper.

you have to decompile the twwallpaper.apk
go into res/values and open up arrays and in there you will see picture names...add the ones from in the drawable-hdpi folder that are not present in the arrays
TY for the help. I was wondering the same thing myself. Is this also how to change the default wall paper when preparing a custom rom?

Res/value/arrays?? no such directory exists. Let's rewind a little bit, which APK needs to be decompiled?? There are about 33 wallpapers sitting in TwWallpaperChooser.apk. They came pre-installed to the following directory:
TwWallpaperChooser\res\drawable-hdpi ...
however only 4 or 5 only appear and the rest do not show up under the Wallpaper Gallery menu. How can I get all 33 wallpapers visible when I access my Wallpaper Gallery menu?? If we are referring to the same APK that you suggested earlier, then I can assure you there no Res/value/arrays directory listed after decompiling. Any suggestions anyone??
Can one see these "hidden" pics on the default manufacturer's ROM?

"Default_wallpaper"

Ummm , sounds like you guys are making this overly complicated ......
Wallpaper, Gallery, is your phones gallery, not the TWwallpapers ....
If you are asking how to add more pictures to Wallpaper>Gallery, just create a folder on your phone, call it wallpapers or whatever else you want, and copy the 960x800 wallpapers to it and "rescan media" using an app from the market or reboot ...
Then open up Wallpaper>Gallery, and choose your wallpaper folder .....
Maybe I read your first post wrong but you did ask about Wallpaper Gallery not the TW wallpapers ....
@Watcher64 - I believe the reason behind this is when installing custom ROM, you would like to have the wallpapers already present when it is installed and not worry about downloading a bunch or transferring them from your computer. This is why I am editing/adding to mine.
While it is located under "Wallpaper gallery" on the phone, the actual apk is TwWallpaperChooser.apk in system\app
......
The list of the wallpapers in the array.xml file was not located in \res\values, rather \res\values-hdpi in my ROM.
Thanks sippinalizay and M&S for helping sorting it all out!
Using custom.xml?
I recently stumble myself on this same question and the answers I found on the Internet either didn't properly apply to my phone ROM or they were not much feasible (like tampering with the system resources files).
But I observed something interesting... a custom vendor wallpaper image added to the default wallpaper gallery; I tried to find the trace back to the source files that made it possible that addition and I found this:
/system/csc/custom.xml
Code:
<Display>
<NbWallpaper>1</NbWallpaper>
<Wallpaper src="/Customer/XTE/Wallpaper/Sun 480 x 320.jpg" width="480" height="320">
<Position>1</Position>
<FileType>JPG</FileType>
</Wallpaper>
</Display>
Modify that at your will and add pictures to the Wallpaper Gallery in a simple way.
Note about the attached pic: the 3rd wallpaper is a custom one that I added by injecting it directly to the TwWallpaperChooser.apk with same name of a previous one picture, actually replacing it.
How can I decompile an APK file?
I found some cool wallpapers. How can I copy these wallpaer to my Galaxy Nexus? What is the location of wallpapers and is there any special method of transfer? I will appreciate your help.
Just put them on your phone somewhere using USB then open them in the gallery and use the menu to set them as wallpaper.

Thanks fro your advice but the problem is that you have to crop the image when you try use any image from gallery. I was looking for the path or location of wallpapers on the phone so that I just copy jpeg files.
I downloaed new galaxy s3 wallpapers and wanted to use them.
I think if you download "QuickPic" from the market...
Long press your homescreen and select wallpaper>quickpic you can drag the sliders to the full image.
Jubakuba, thanks. Quickpic did the job.

The "cropping" in the Gallery doesn't actually downsize it if you go to the full size, it just shows what you'll actually see when taking away the top/bottom bars.
Hi
I have a strange problem when setting the wallpaper.
I have this picture postimg.org/image/3umjabsi5/ on my sd card. If i try to set it as wallpaper this is what I get: postimg.org/image/3xtc6dcux/
But if I upload this picture on some storage site and then I set it as wallpaper from my browser (next browser) I get a much better result: postimg.org/image/bpa24xh09/ The image looks just like on my monitor.
Where is the problem? I'd like to set the wallpaper from my sd card and get the right quality.

It's all about the image viewer.
The image viewer of ES File Explorer is not as good as the file explorer. I'm still using ES but now I changed the default image viewer for the Camera Snap Gallery(the stock samsung gallery is just as good). Everything is fine now.
follow this

The stock editor is good enough. Just have a picture at least 1080x960px.
Anybody know where PsC saves photos? I would like to pull the images directly from that folder instead of using PsC to "download" the images.
