When updating my T-Mobile HTC HD2 phone, I seem to have "lost" the new desktop wallpapers that were provided.
Can anyone tell me the folder location of these files? I am particularly interested in the "initial" default desktop file depicting a panorama oceanic view.
Appreciate your help -- I simply cannot locate this desktop file.

Today screen files appear to have the extension .TSK can you please tell me which folder/file these are stored in and can any file be made into a TSK type file? If so how does one go about it? Also I am not sure how you find these files and/or how can you change the extension of them.
Also what is the difference between the today screen and wallpaper
Also the explorer option only appears to search the 'My Documents' folder does anyone know of a good equivalent tool either as freeware or for purchase.
Thanks in advance John.
Hi
The "theme" files (*.tsk) are stored in \windows\ directory.
TSK consists of such things as:
color scheme for Start menu, bottom bar and application windows.
background picture (today screen background)
start menu style / picture etc
TSK files can be created by various tools (including some outdated one from microsoft)
The option "use this picture as background" lets you override default background (by TSK) with the one you provide.
Thanks but I think its because you can't see the extension, plus as I mentioned the search facilities are crap. You can't search on '*.TSK' for example. I think that is why i asked for an example of a good replacement.
What is the difference between the today screen and Wallpaper. Also are you aware of what tools can create them?
Thanks again John.
Hi again.
You should use your PC to access system files on your PDA.
That gives you faster browsing, file extension view and many more.
Mobile file explorer and PDA functionality in general are designed to be simple for task-oriented working.
Enough of romantic crap
Don't mix "today screen" with "theme" and "wallpaper".
Today screen is a PDA equivalent of PC Windows's desktop.
Theme (in TSK files) is a... well... graphical theme for today screen.
Wallpaper is a picture that's behind anything else on today screen.
Most themes have wallpapers in them. But you can change wallpapers manually (choose bitmap files from memory or use the theme's default wallpaper)
Isn't that simple ?
I don't know any good software to create themes.
In case of making wallpaper...
Just make a bitmap in some standard format (BMP JPG GIF) with resolution that matches your device's display (320x240 in most cases).
You can do that even with windows paintbrush
Have fun.
cetuner is a good way to make themes actually on the pocket pc, which is relatively rare. Most is pc based. But it's not quite as complete as some pc based softare, mainly in manipulating the wallpaper. But i don't use wallpaper, so no issue to me.
Microsoft's free theme maker is a perfectly good place to start. Move on when you reach its limitations.

I'm trying to find the config files that list where all the item are and where they're placed so I can port my portrait setup to landscape without having to arrange everything by hand. Is this possible? I assume it's just a text config file somewhere that says what the links are, what imgs are used and where they're located on the screen.
Thanks!
Hey guys. I found this on youtube. They are supposed to be animated wallpapers. But they are just widgets that you can place on your screen basically.
If you take the file and change the .wgt to .zip you can unzip then and veiw the files. The index file I belive has some code in it to make the .gif file play when you open the widget.
I tried to do this myself to no avail. Would someone be able to change the code to make it do the exact same thing its doing now but using a .swf or other small video file?
Im trying to make my own and I have a .gif that I compressed as much as possible and its still huge. I converted it to a .swf and its super small now.
Im using these on a Omnia also. I dont know what file types it would handle.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
Moved as not software release.
Just a quick question to anyone who understands the file explorers on android phones,
I want to find the location of where the default background images are stored in the phones memory ;o Any ideas on where i could find this using a file explorer?
Dear developers,
I installed meebo music player. The player uses background images as its skin. However, I want to replace these images with my own. I tried with Root Explorer. But the system does not allow me to copy the files to drawable folder of the app.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this? I want my wallpapers as skin. Please help.

Click to expand...

Decompile the app, change the background images to the ones you want (keeping the same file names) within the drawable folder for your phone (if they are using multiple density drawable) and recompile, but if it uses any of Google's services the certificate will be different and those parts will no longer work.
