First off, are you using a launcher, do you have any wallpaper on your phone?

I've had this problem. First you need the original gallery app, 'com.cooliris.media'. Then you will need to reboot to cwr and fix permissions.

I'm using the apex launcher and I can set desktop wallpaper with it

as stated, you must have either frozen or deleted stock gallery apk. Extract it and use root explorer and replace it, or try downloading and installing quickpic. It may show up and allow you to select a wallpaper.

How do you make it so that the "green globe" browser icon will launch a different browser? For example, if I want to use Firefox 4 Beta, but want to retain the "green globe" icon on my main dock but have it launch Firefox when I tap that, how do I do that?
I recall the browser once asking me what I wanted my default browser to be. I don't know how to clear that or reset it so it asks again. I've tried settings and clearing cache, etc. Doesn't seem like I can clear the "launch by default" option in the app settings. It's faded out. Can't even do anything in that section.
Help?
Settings. Applications. Manage applications. Click browser. Clear defaults.

The green browser icon will always launch the default browser unless you use a custom launcher like adw where you can change the icon of Firefox to the green globe.

Right. I was hoping there was a more 'official' way to do it. Okay, thanks.
You could edit the PNG inside the Firefox apk - I know it can be done but I don't really have knowledge of it. Perhaps search for PNG editing?
Edit: Didn't see that you wanted to use the stock Launcher and make firefox the one that launches from the dock. I'm pretty sure that's impossible without some deep deep coding.
If you open the apk with winrar or7zip it will leave the file signed and zipped but you will be able to edit images within the file. open the res folder and find a firefox icon. Replace it with a globe and the icon should change.
I'll actually try this in a few minutes to see how possible it is. If it works I'll post the modified apk

I changed the icon and while it is clear it has been changed (you can see it in the installation window) it wouldn't install. Next I tried overwriting the standard apk with the modified one and that only resulted in making the entire app disappear on reboot. I attached the modified apk in case someone else wants to try but I'm throwing in my towel.
EDIT: Odd, it didn't actually attached my file so here is a download link
If you are willing to use a third party launcher, I can attach the gingerbread dock background as well as the stock icons so you can achieve the same effect.

Rooted at 6.2.1. Followed the standard directions to lock the wallpaper:
Open Root Explorer
Navigate to data/data/com.Android.settings/files/wallpaper
Long press on wallpaper, select permissions from the menu that drops down.
Uncheck the "write" permission for all users then click OK.
Live wallpapers work fine and stay in place. When I try to change the wallpaper to an image it does not work if I try it while rooted or unrooted. I go to wallpaper in the menu, select gallery, complete action using gallery, select the picture, save....and nothing, it does not become the wallpaper. Should I try a different app instead of gallery? Using Widgetlocker and that wallpaper works fine and I can change to what I want. Is some setting in that impacting this issue somehow? Thanks.
You have to go back into data/data or wherever it was located and restore the boxes that were unchecked so you can change the wallpaper..

Thanks, I did do that and it didn't work. Then I remembered reading someplace that you had to just keep trying it and it would work. Did that about five times and it finally worked! Strange that you would have to do that but what the hell, it works. Thanks again.
I had that problem too. Using the app "wallpaper set and save", solve it for me.

Can't go wrong with WidgetLocker (it's worth it).
Went to the play store to get Widgetlocker and I get a message stating that my device is not compatible.

I'm running qqlauncher, not many themes or widgets, but you can get widgets else where.
Well any who, also comes with a very good lockscreen.

Hmm... odd thing. Widgetlocker is not even showing up in a search at the Play Store. I have it installed so it shows up in my installed list with the "device incompatible" msg as well. I installed it from a Titanium Backup.

Go Locker is free and has a lot of themes available. I use it (I've even made a couple themes for the market...er..."play store"). And I think you may be able to use it without needing to have go launcher as your default home. As long as you set it up while using go launcher/ go locker, you might be able to switch to whatever other launcher you prefer. I may be mistaken since I haven't tried it myself (I use go launcher), but friends with samsung phones have tried it and can use it with other launchers.

I like that one too.
I like being able to change which shortcuts I have available and have more than 3 or 4. That's why I made my own that has 4 app shortcuts and the home unlock. If anyone wants to try it out and let me know what they think, it's free on the market here:

Thank you!! My LCD density was set at 256. I changed it back to 240; still didn't work. So then I cleared the Dalvik cache and the data from Goggle Play Store and now I can download apps once again!!

I think what you need to do is set the "Go Switch Widget" as a Device Administrator. Go to menu>settings>location & security>Select device administrators and then check the go switch widget.
The stock moto locker should not come up (except for when your phone boots up from a shutdown/restart). Let us know if that's what fixes it.
Also, just as a side note, make sure when you install a different theme for Go Locker that you do NOT hit "open" after the install. It will give you an error. After you install a theme, you just need to select it from the Go Locker menu. I've had a few friends complain that a new theme doesn't work, but it's because they didn't read the directions .
hmm..i can't find "Go Switch Widget" under device administrator.

You might need to download/install it then. The only reason I did is because it told me to. Strange that you didn't get the same message.
If you don't mind, try it out and report back.
Lock Screen Opinion
I would have to say Go Locker. Has a lot of themes IMO and if use the pin to get into the phone don't even have to type the enter key. I just want my phone unlocked faster.

Hi everyone,
I am using AOKP ROM build 40 and I want to change page transitions or app opening transitions....
Please can anyone help me with this....I had seen some really cool transition animations like the dialog box popping from the bottom in one of my friends SG ACE ROM....
Thanks

I just use GO Launcher as my default launcher and use the animations/transitions from there. So many to choose from and for different scenarios too.
Personally, I set all my "effects" to Random. That way every time I switch home screens or enter the app drawer, it's different!

I am asking for animations which are for built in things...like the dialog box for everything or any app opening....I figured out that it can be done by editing anim folder in Res folder of framework.apk....but still I need someone to give me some some animations which are in XML format so that I can edit the apk....

I have searched and followed the directions I have found, but I don't have the "done" option after cropping a picture...only a save option. Am I missing something? Can my personal images even be used?
By directions, do you mean
1. Long pressing on blank space on homescreen (stock touchwiz launcher) and selecting Lock Screen?
2. Going to settings>wallpaper>lockscreen?
When you do either one of them, an option should popup to take a photo from the gallery or another application. If you select gallery, you should be presented with most, if not all, the photos on your phone. If you select it, you may be asked to crop it and then in the upper rightmost of the screen, "Done" should be written. Hit that.
Are you following different instructions (not word for word)?
I get all the way to the cropping part and then the only option I have is to save the image.

right, so hit save at that point
When I click save, it sends me back to my home screen! lol
I just tried with Quickpic and when I save the image using that app, it flashes and shows the same screen I had right before I clicked save. It does produce another image, but isn't saved as a lockscreen wallpaper even though that is what I selected.
Has anyone else had this problem or is this simply an error on my part somewhere?
Settings > Wallpaper > Lockscreen
After you hit lockscreen, choose Gallery, then choose whatever pic you wish to use. Crop the picture how you wish, then hit 'Save' in the upper-right and corner. *Hitting save DOES NOT save the picture in gallery, it only saves the picture you crop as your wallpaper!*
Only mine isn't saving it as a lockscreen wallpaper
Let me try is as a homescreen wallpaper....even though I want it as a lockscreen one.
Of course it worked as a homescreen!
BUT....I want it on my lockscreen. lol

Thank you all for trying to help. If it worked for everyone else, I must have a setting different somewhere. Or extreme user error. lol
I finally just uninstalled QuickPic and it worked. It seems QuickPic was taking over for the Gallery.
You must have selected Quick Pic as the default app somewhere along the way.
