In which directory can I find the two default wallpapers that come with LauncherPro?
I use the ADW launcher, but I like the metalic-grid-like wallpaper that comes with LauncherPro, and that's the only reason why I still have LP installed. If I could copy this particular wallpaper and save it somewhere then I can uninstall LP.
Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing.
In my case, I switched to the metallic grid just to see what it looked like. I wanted to return to the original wallpaper, but it isn't one of the choices!
I also tried some custom wallpapers, and that wipes out the original wallpaper too. Where is the original one kept?

You can get the wallpaper that you want directly from the LaunchPro apk file. Downloaded it from here:
http://www.launcherpro.com/
On my Ubuntu PC, I can unpack it because it actually is a compressed file like ZIP. There are two versions, named wallpaper_dark.jpg. One is in the drawable-hdpi folder. The other is in the drawable-mdpi folder.
Now if I can just find the one I am looking for.
Correct - some of these wallpapers are embedded into the apks themeselves.
I couldn't find the original default LauncherPro wallpaper, and I hate the only two that they offer. So I uninstalled it, and installed ADW.Launcher instead. I found an Ubuntu wallpaper in market, so now everything feels more familiar.

Where would I save wallpapers to?
I know many of you will say to just stick it in some folder on SDCARD, but I want to press: Menu > Wallpaper > Wallpapers
and have MY wallpapers there.
I like to design my own wallpapers, and would rather have them there, easily accessible, and not have to hunt them down in the Gallery or SDCARD.

You'd have to edit the launcher and replace the default images.
Addendum: All the images would also have to carry the same filenames as the images that are already there. So, in retrospect, you'd have to create the wallpapers and thumbnails for the wallpapers, and then rename them to replace the images in the Launcher2.apk.
Damnit.
I was hoping got a simpler solution
Thanks Mi|enko
Install Wallpaper plus....
I'd like an app free solution.
Surely there must be one.
Too bad there isn't an app solution yet but its not that hard really just editing images and so on and animations seem to be easy as well since its basically ripping and signing from build to build lol.
Is it possible to change the icons within the App Drawer? I figured out you could just edit each .apk file when rooted, but I don't know for sure how to do that. And maybe there is just an easier method with a ROM. If the MIUI ROM would have that kind of option it would be awesome!
Also, Go Launcher EX (and probably more launchers) is capable of putting apps into folders in the app drawer. The icon of the folder is then a kind of preview of the apps within it. That is not really that bad, but it would be nice to be able to change the Go Launcher EX folder icons as well. Since there is no .apk file for the folder to change it with, I can't think of a way to do that.
In short, what I want is this: being able to create folders in the app drawer and change all icons (and also remove text beneath the icons) in the app drawer, including the folder icon.
I know, I am a nitpick, but I just want it all to match .
To change the icons in the app drawer you need to edit each and every apk file and change the innate icon therein.

Ok, so no easy way?
And about my other questions? I know it is possible to create folders in the app drawer with Go Launcher EX, but what you see isn't really an icon, it is a preview of the apps within it. And I suppose I can't change that, but it would be nice.
Or if there is another launcher/rom that can create folder in the app drawer (and then change the icon of that folder), that's OK too.
Ok so you know how you can add a folder to your main screens, and then put other app icons in there. Well the folder is a stock manilla folder and i was wondering how we can change that icon to a folder icon of my choice. If anyone know how please let me know. Thanks
I know it's possible with ADW Ex, I'm not sure about other home replacement apps, but I don't think LauncherPro allows this.
You can also use something like Simi Folder or Folder Organizer to premake folders with custom icons and then add them to your homescreen as a widget or shortcut.

ok cool thanks ill have to give that a try
Launcher Pro Plus allows it, I don't know if the free version does. Go Launcher allows it too.
Folder Organizer lite is wonderful. App Organizer too.

And what about ES? Can it change icons?
Can i not change the icons that are used in sense in one of the homescreens? i cannot get it done with the apps simi folder or folder organizer.
The icons are changed but the changes are not visible on my sense screen.
Does this mean i have to shut down sense to get my own favored icons on my homescreen?
And if that is so, how to shut down sense and install another icon organizer (and which one)?
I would look up different launch apps on market. Launcher pro is good ex launcher is good. They offer different ways to style ur home screen.
The most you can do without root is hiding parts of sense with other launchers and themes.
So i can't tell this phone of mine within sense that it should stop starting sense, but some other launchers will do that for me?
And again: it is NOT possible to change the icons within sense?
I managed it with Phlashcut, but then i don't have the icons available that i want to use.
edit: I guess this will do the trick
edit edit: With folder organizer i did it. Modify in the tool and place the icons on the homescreen as widget of the organizer.
