Hey guys,
I loathe swiping through my gallery (lousy with hundreds of pages of album/ebook cover art) to get to my Wallpaper album, then resizing the crop as best I can, and repeating the same process next month when I want to try another wall.
What I'd like to do is just add a bunch of wallpapers to the drawable-xlarge-nodpi folder in my Launcher2.apk so they'll show up in the stock wallpaper picker.
I've selected a bunch of 1920x1408 walls and made "blahblah_small" 180x180 versions (I'd like thumbnails to show up in the picker). I tried using Zipthemer to create a CWM-installable updated Launcher2 to include these changes, but just can't seem to figure it out.
I've also tried renaming to .zip, unzipping, adding the walls, rezipping, renaming to .apk and pushing that, but Android won't install the .apk. Do I need to delete the META-INF signatures folder and figure out some way to sign the .apk? Can I sign an apk w/o the SDK?
I know Roach has that extra wallpaper in Prime (nigh version of the Asus default wall), so basically, how did he do that?
Also, the default wallpapers are in drawable-large-nodpi, the Asus default (tree scene) is in drawable-xlarge-nodpi. The xlarge-nodpi folder has no META-INF stuff, so I figured if I threw the wallpapers in there, the picker would just show them.

Hello. I was wondering where in a rom I would find the wallpapers for it. I like the wallpaper on the MyTouch rom and the jachero2.3 builds and got to thinking. I wanted to pull from all and make wallpapers available with all the other resources. Where in a rom can I extract wallpapers from Thanks. Found the sounds already.
shouldnt this be in theming?
go to framework_res.apk. then in the drawable folder in there.
Trying to decode and find. I have been there and can only find just the loaded default not from the gallery ones. Those are what I am looking for.
default is in framework-res, gallery ones are in lancher.apk -> drawable
Hey guys. Just a quick question. I've successfully edited the images inside a few .apk files to match my theme and then installed them on my phone without any problems.
However, now I'm trying to edit some .apk files that are apps with widgets. Specifically, Advanced Task Manager and N1 Torch. I wanted to edit the widgets' image files so that the "focused" and "pressed" highlights of these apps' respective widgets are no longer Android's hideous orange color. But when I make changes to the widgets and install my modded .apk files, the widgets are broken. They won't load. Any advice? Thanks.

Never mind. Got it all settled. Fixed my widgets. Thanks.
Im looking to make animated wallpaper for the HD2 but trying to figure out were do I start. I know there has been a few people here making them but the stuff I've seen isn't what im looking to do.
I'm looking for something in the Nexus One range, but without it being LIVE, just animated. While browsing the HD2 animated walls, there is only 3 and they are .png. Animated .pngs. When I load a .png as a animated wallpaper, it doesnt animate, just stays on the first frame. So my question is, what else is the HD2 doing to make the walls animate?
I started having a look at this too..
The pngs aren't animated. They act as the background for the animation wallpaper... the actual animations are run by a scripted manila file (don't ask me which one, I did find a thread with the details of this script but you'll have to search for it) and a bunch of manila files for the pngs.
The scripted file tells the manila pngs how to "animate" i.e which directions they go, sizes, speed etc. You can edit the script to change the "animations" and also change the manila pngs for pngs of your choice.
You'll need to get the scripted file and the relevant manila files from your windows folder on your device. If you do a search for animated wallpapers on the forum there's a few threads telling you which files are needed and how to edit them. CFC editor/M9 Editor etc
hope that helps and best of luck
edit: have a look at this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6335350#post6335350 or do a search for animated wallpapers in the forum
So on a DroidX, the ugly Corporate notification PNG and the Yahoo! Mail notification PNG's are stored in /system/app/setup.apk
I've copied the Setup.APK off my device, modified the images making the new images the same size and pixel size and then packed them back in the .APK and then copied back to /system/app
I can't seem to make the images work. I really don't like the Corporate icons on the DX, it's ugly as sin.
At first I was getting a crash when going to Settings -> Accounts but I've rebooted my device.
When I went back in, my new PNG's flashed very briefly but then went back to the default PNG.
When I edit the Setup.APK using NinjaMorph or Rootexplorer my PNG's are there so I don't get why it's not working.. those in the /system/app folder don't need to be re-signed or re-installed right?
Any ideas?
Can anyone save me the misery and modify this two apk files so that when I install them they have these icon? I've watched every tutorial and there's always something missing or wrong. Zplayer ( you should try it) -- zcircle-.png icon and 'Music" name, QuickPic -- gallery icon and "Gallery" name. I need to get this of my mind. Thanks
