Hi!
I'm using GoLauncher on 2.3.3 rooted.
I changed my Wallpaper on Homescreen, but this wallpaper is not set as default wallpaper on every screen for eg. when I push the dial-pad button, the wallpaper changes back o the Sony Ericcson default one (the blue one).
Same happens when I start the settings.
Is there a way to set my wallpaper as a "global" wallpaper?
Thx a lot!
Set it as default in golauncher and you are done Oo

When you say the dial pad button, you mean the dialer right? you cant change the background for the dialer, setting or sms app, to change it you will have to edit the SemcGenericUxpRes.apk in /system/framework
You also need to change it in framework-res.apk, it's called semc.bg. There's also one for landscape/horizontal wich name I can't recall right now.

damn... thats's exactly what i mean...
so I need to change these files everytime I would like to chamge my BG?
Maybe I just started to like the blue BG....

Is there any tool that can remove the app-name from the icon, and only use the icon? (on your homescreen)

Nope, those apps cant remove the icon name. You can only use a space as a name but wont look good, will just be a black-spot..
Any more ideas?

old advance launcher form irenhaus has an option to hide the text on desktop and to hide icon on tray. Pretty sure anderweb one does it too now.

It can be done by a simple xml edit in Rosie. I tried it at one time, but never released. I will take a quick look in the Rosie apk and post back when I find the name of the xml.
EDIT: It's in the values and values-normal folders. The files that needs editing are colors.xml and styles.xml. The places that needs editing are selfexplanatory, but basicly it's just a matter of setting the alpha value to opaque (00) in the places needed.
@sipvn: ADW Launcher? I'm currently using it, no option in settings for that :/
@tristan202: Thanks, I never gone that far learning how do edit rosie/apk's/xml's.. Any guides? I failed searching
helixlauncher2 i think has a option that does this

You'll probably need to be more specific. Are you on 2.1 or 2.2? Are you using the stock Moto Launcher, or a home replacement such as Launcher Pro or ADW?
Rooted 2.1 with stock Blur launcher only modified to have glowing borders.
Yeah here too... When I've tried to use it it says need to "Make the widget larger to add more tasks"...
Sent from my DROIDX cause it's got the GBs and the Wifis
Is it the widget that's crapping out? Or something else?
So what if you long press on it and drag the border to make it larger? I have it disabled, so can't check...
I had the same issue with the widgets. What compoundedthe issue was I started using ADW and lost the motorola widgets. I found a app called Bettercut that let me put direct dial or text right on the desktop with the contact picture. Works great and I can add direct text shortcuts which is something I use a lot. Best 2 bucks I spent

It just makes the blank blue contact picture larger.
Are you using custom launcher or Blur? It might not be playing nice with a custom one...

I'm using Blur with colored png's. And Bettercut is basically the same thing as the shortcut widgets.
eh just saw you said that earlier in the thread, sorry..
I get the same problem when I try to use the moto contact widget while running ADW Launcher. When I revert to stock Blur, it works fine. Chances are the minor theming to BlurHome that you did, might make it think its not stock and therefore wont work? just a guess...
Flashing SBF and re-pushing my modified Blur makes the widgets work now. I don't know why they were crapping out on me...
You probably have the contact linked and its not pulling the pic. I had that problem with most of my contacts linked to fbook profile. The only way I could save a pic to the phone contact was to unlink the contact, add pic, then when I used in a widget it would have photo or not be blank.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Nope, none of my contacts are linked to Bookface. Only my Google account. And it would blank out every contact I tried to put on the screen. But like I said, the SBF flash fixed it. I don't know why that happened because I put my themed BlurHome back on the phone and the contact widgets are still working. Same thing was happening with the news widget too.
Heya, I've recently installed Khalpower's V4 rom. Pretty awesome job =) However, I wasn't able to disable the "slide to unlock" screen. Since I'm using the pattern lock, there is no need for the slide to unlock screen anymore. The original moto rom would disable the "slide to unlock" screen when lock pattern is enabled. Is there an option to do so in KP's rom?
Many thanks! =)
Also, have realised that the camera button is not working. Have anyone experience that? Also, is there a known issues/bugs thread to keep track of any problems on the custom roms?
Thank you!
AFAIK the slider issue is there on all of the Froyo ROMS here (Dexters, Xavwanteds & Kahlpowers). I've never seen a fix for this issue.
If your talking about the gallery button (small button next to the shutter) this is also a known issue.
Ohh ic, thanks for your reply
Any idea where to get the old ringtones cos i really like the meadow grass ringtone =P and also the 15% battery sound notification is quite creepy :S anyway to change it?
Thanks
I should be able to dig up the default ringtones when I get home.
Look in /system/media/audio/ui, I would think you could replace LowBattery.ogg with the sound of your choosing (IDK if it has to be an ogg file or not?) that should work but I haven't tried yet.
Oic, do i access there using root explorer? Anyway if you have the default ringtone meadow grass would be great =D cos i backed it up only with recovery so didnt have the ogg files.
Thanks again

That reminds me... I've been meaning to ask someone for this ages ago. Do you or anyone else have all the ringtones from the 2.1 (there were a few I liked but I can't remember the names) and the wallpapers as well? (there was a really nice blue one with white swirls that looked great on the screen)
Would be appreciated.
teh ringtones
teh wallpapers
Many thanks
How can I put the wallpapers on so it shows up as an option to choose from like in 2.1? (I mean like if I would longpress on homescreen I could select from a little gallery of wallpapers in the normal wallpaper way)
Ahh cool Anyway, how to gain excess to the root files? Tried with all kinds of explorers but didnt work. Root explorer is paid app so didnt try that. Didnt work with su on terminal as well.

If you long press the home screen >> wallpapers >> media gallery you can browse pics on your sdcard. I believe you would have to decompile edit and recompile the home apk to get them in the default wallpaper gallery

Hmm, this one works as I would like it to without having to decompile anything https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gfxandroid.honeycombwalls&feature=search_result . I'll try out the first thing, maybe it won't recrop. Thanks
EDIT:
Yeah, able to crop perfect size with these ones - maybe other times I had bad size images. Thanks

teh notifications
Pasting/editing/deleting any files in the phone's internal media audio folder didn't work :/ so couldn't get rid of the lowbattery notification.
First off, big thank you to JRW 28 for the Lithium 1.2.1 Rom. I absolutely love it.
This is my first time rooting my phone and installing any kind of custom rom, and I'm very happy with the results.
However, I changed my wallpaper to a live wallpaper just to see what it was like, and I want to set it back to the default wallpaper that came with the rom.
When I go back to try and reset it, I cannot find the default wallpaper anywhere. I also tried browsing my sdcard etc on the computer, but wasn't able to find the image anywhere.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Long-press home > wallpapers > wallpapers, click "reset to default"
Or if you wanna play with your new found root access, you could navigate to /system/framework/framework-res.apk, view the apk and go to /res/drawable-hdpi folder and copy/extract the default_wallpaper file to your sdcard for future personal use..

If you still can't get it tell me And i'll upload it for you
So I browsed into the root directory, and am now swimming through thousands of png files trying to find the wallpaper ...any hints as to what it might be named? Thanks again
Also: when I long press home, I don't get an option for wallpapers, I just get a list of my recent apps. When I either long press the background or open up wall paper from settings, I only get options to browse my gallery or SD card. Thanks!

Alright so I moved the default wallpaper jpeg back to my sdcard/dcim...but when I try to set it as a wallpaper, it basically forces me to crop the picture, and now my wallpaper is super pixelated. Again, help appreciated, thanks

Sorry, i should have said "homescreen"..
If that, or through settings>display doesn't work, then i'm not sure... did you freeze or uninstall any stock wallpaper apps?

I don't think so, when I get to the wallpaper options like you mentioned, my only options are Gallery, GO Wallpaper, Live Wallpapers nothing to restore the default.
Also: The default_wallpaper file I extracted is only 518k...is that why the resolution is coming out poorly?

Riiight... Lithium doesn't have the stock launcher... You could try to install the BlurHome2.apk, (there should be some zips around)..
Might also need Moto Home Fix from Play Store if you wanna keep two launchers - but freeze or uninstall it if you stick with the stock Blur launcher as it's mainly to help switching between launchers and could mess with your home button a bit...
Also, that size of pic is normal.. it may be the wallpaper chooser that doesn't resize it properly. I think i noticed that when i was on go launcher, or with a different version of My Gallery..
Good luck!

Well, for a more stock Android look, I use an app called "Goodlock" which themes the quick settings list.

Well, that's the problem. You must be an employee of Samsung to have that program. Which means that without a custom rom, it is not possible.
