It's an xml file in your launcher.apk whichever launcher you're using. default_settings.xml IIRC... not to had to find, /res/xml/ I think.

[Q] How to extract wallpaper from nb0?

Hi,
I've used a rom on my device that had great default wallpapers (not the original Android ones).
I've switched roms now and I would like to have the same wallpapers I had in the first rom. However I can't find them on the web.
So my last chance it's to retrieve it from the nb0 file of the rom.
How can I do that?
Thanks
A little help please?

ANDROID (stock) CONTACTS

I'd like to install Android Contacts instead of (or plus) HTC Contacts.
I'v tryed to install a Contacts.apk (from Desire (not S) ROM "Ginger Villain 2.1" ), but it won't install (it worked for Gallery3Dm.apk ).
anyone got an idea ?
PS: my phone is not rooted and s-ON
thanks
since this is a sense rom you are running it is not possible to use the stock android apps without root.
the stock android contacts app is included in our system folder, but the sense contact app is a kind of overlay for the stock app. it´s based in the sense framework.
that means even with root it is very difficult to use stock apps instead of the sense counterpart.
i think it is easier to build a AOSP-based ROM than building a "de-sensed" ROM based on a sense ROM.

[Q] Android Starter?

Hi everyone i got a few questions on Android terms:
I google much and i know what ROMS and rooting are but still,
1. What is KE7 that everyone keeps talking about? is it a ROM?
2. What is the stock ROM for a Galaxy SII ?
3. Is a customized ROM such as cm7 usually gonna change the whole user interface? or just modifiy the original UI?
If so, wouldnt a launcher such as ADW launcher be unnecessary as it already has modified your UI?
4. What is a kernal?
Thanks a lot guys
Also....what is KF1/KF2 ?
please help
they are the firmwares that samsung release which other roms are based on.

3. A complete ROM will always bring along a new interface, which might be the same one you have actually using, but could also be a completely different one.
4. You mean kernel?
Its the system core.

[Q] System apps need help

Hello guys, the question might sound stupid, but i failed to find an answer anywhere. After upgrade 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 (I used prerooted rom by adidas http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1183684) My system "contacts" app appeared in Russian, and my calculator app is not well resized to look well on desire s. Please advise if it is possible to extract or find anywhere these apps in original IN ENGLISH and flash them to my current ROM system.
many thanx in advance
Hey,
well, I think that the calculator app is sized correctly. It's the way HTC designs it, first I also thought it's false but it isn't.
And for the contacts app, you may look here and extract the APK. Or better replace your rom with that from Proxuser if you want stock experience. It's a bit tweaked (kernel, other things).

But you can also look for Hyperion, one of the greatest 3.0 Sense Rom's I've tested so far

Idea for porting the TW keyboard

Hi
I'm totally newbie in mobile dev, but as I have a need, I will try to soluce it by myself.
Indeed I need your help ...
Context:
At first I was using Samsung Touchwiz stock ROM on my GN2, and falled in love with its spen keyboard...
Now I'm using the ProBAM ROM, and I did not find any equivalent handwriting keyboard as efficient as the TW spen keyboard.
Until the stock ROM file is download on my computer and before I start to do it, could you tell me your fealing regarding my idea ?
Do you think it is possible to make the following actions:
=> copy touchwiz framework files from the stock rom 4.1.2 to ProBAM as explained here
=> copy the touchwiz samsung keyboard file from the stock 4.1.2 rom to the "system" folders of ProBAM
=> install the touchwiz keyboard (?)
Thanks
Nico
having the TW keyboard on a AOSP rom would be the best
ok, I loose... black screen after the start of the device...boot anim and BLACK SCREEN ... gave over... try again... but not today
The keyboard must be ported to aosp base. Also needs to be modified for multi dpi.

As I'm a newbie in ROM modifications, would they be some tutos for porting apps ?
FYI, the black screen is due to the fact I checked "no animation at startup", so I think I encounted a bootloop
