Might vary by ROM, but I think its typically /data/system/users/0. It's just called 'wallpaper', with no extension, so just add .jpg or something to view it.
Thanks mate! Nope, I can't even find that root directory
/data is completely empty... I'm on stock Lollipop.

do you have root access?
/data/* is only visible to those with root privileges
*gulps*, no... does this mean I can never get at those wallpapers? So frustrating, I'm using them now
remove all the icons and take a screenshot
The stock Xperia wallpapers are located here :

You can change it also on xml file for Launcher, I don't remember the exact location of this file, also with icons/widgets on Desktop.
I had this mod on my SGS. Anyone figured it out for SGS2 yet?
In the meantime while mods are sorting this for us I can recommend "Screen Off and Lock", which has a CRT TV animation.
for CRT effect do as below
Decompile framework-res.apk and edit the file \res\values\bools.xml
Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'
Compile framework-res.apk
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by 'CRT effect' ?

The animation you see when you turn the screen off or on.
the animation that was taken from the Nexus S
like an old tube tv on/off
Here's a vid

Does anyone know if the CRT effect mod is available to download without a battery mod attached to it also?
I only want the CRT animation but want to keep the original battery indicator. Tried decompling the framework res file but I'm kinda a noob when it comes to more advanced procedures. Couldn't get my head around APKTool or manager.

Do I just have put it randomly in the phone's memory/sd card and install it or do I need to put it somewhere specifically?

Instructions are in the thread. You have to replace your original framework-res.apk file, and need root access.
Thanks Rawat
Had my Galaxy S2 for 2 weeks now, rooted it, made a few mods and tweaks, waiting for my 16gb mem card to arrive and its good to go. Will have to bite the bullet and put my SIM in and retire my beloved HTC Desire
Finally found time to add this mod but i read through Rawat's other thread and it says not to install this mod if you're running VillainRom, which I am.
I know it is available in VillainTweaks but it also installs the battery mod which i dont want. I crashed my phone with force closes last time i tried to install an incompatible mod.
Use the file attached to this post then
NOTE: THIS IS FOR VILLAINROM KE7 ONLY.
I am kinda lost here.
I have KE2 on my phone. Came out ot the box that way. What file do I pick to get the CRT on / off animation on my phone ?
Will the KE7 file work or ?

this app is awesome and has some great screen off animations, like 10-12, no need to root for just one effect, this way you can get a bunch without the need to be rooted
Hi guys this is my first post here in xda!
I'm here to ask a thing:
When i unboxed my XPERIA PLAY I and turned it on i looked to the black status bar on the phone framework and looked to the box framework that was more beauty and was blue with white icons.
Can someone tell me if its possible to get the original blue framework like the image i have posted above, thanks in advanced, and sorry my English :S.
The photo of the box us edited with the computer. The statusbar looks on every xperia play that is on stock "ugly".
You must be rooted and edit the systemui.apk to get this

My PLAY is rooted, and i have 2.3.4 with it, what things i need to edit in systemui.apk and where do i get those files?
Thanks.
Which theme did u use?? I think its a theme effect. Try changing it to blue.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It's not a theme effect, it's actually older amdtroid version. I remembered my friend's X10 android 2.1 stock has this battery style.

You'll need to modify the battery icons inside framework-res.apk then push it back into system. Maybe you can ask someone to theme it for you

One more thing, do a nandroid backup before you modify. And make it a flashable zip and flash it via CWM.

Noo thats wrong. you need to edit systemui.apk in /system/app.
the systemui.apk actually prodyces the statusbar

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.
Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM
Do I use 7zip on my Pc or phone?

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.

Hello
I'm using kitkat 4.4.4 and was wondering if there's any way to change the look of the quick settings panel - from image 1 to image 2?
I've tried using an xposed module called Flip Panels, or something like that, but after I reboot I get a systemui error.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks

My guess is that it is a custom rom. The dev probably just edited some xml files from systemui apk. I'm not on KK so can't look into it at the moment, but mess around a little with apktool, and see what you can figure out. Look for files in res/layout that seem to refer to quick settings, and also in res/values/dimens xml. It may also be a different version, like 4.3 vs 4.4 or something.
