I want to extract the stock wallpaper that came with a certain rom. Where in the rom would I be able to find it?
These are possible places to look:
-Framework-res.apk(extract the apk)-->/drawables folders
-Launcher.apk(extract apk)
-Rosie.apk(sense rom)
-(Theme name)Lightshow.apk,nature.apk,etc(MtSlide rom)
im new to the whole rom thing but i was under the impression my phone was going to look exactly like the pictures i saw of the rom ha. guess not.

framework-res.apk
res-->drawable-->default_wallpaper.jpg
Its in framework-res.apk you can extract the apk using 7zip.
pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework off of the phone.
Once its extracted look in res/drawable-hdpi the name of the file is default_wallpaper.jpg
This rom works great, however when I try to change the Homescreen wallpaper and select a wallpaper from astro file manager, I get FC every time. If I use the built in wallpapers, it works.

WHAT ROM? Maybe you should post in the thread of the ROM you're using, just in case that's part of the issue.
Instead of resurrecting a dead thread. No offense, but come on.
wrongly posted... nothing specific for htc droid eris, so deleted...
haha wrong thread
Is there a way to replace the default wallpaper in the apk? Every time the UI crashes I keep having to look at this crappy blue and purple wallpaper.

i will try and pull them out of kaos legendary and post them up here (if possible) but don't get your hopes to high
EDIT:can't find them in kaos legendary (going to try to find them in the nexus one froyo files)
EDIT#2 cant find them there either (sorry, try someone else)
go to theunlockr.com and download the rom eris_LP_0_1.zip and there will be a live wallpapers.apk file and install that file. and they will be the original files there
Here's the .apk extracted from hotwingz2180's link, so you don't have to download the whole 100mb file.
It added the stock wallpapers to my list, but I got force closes when I selected them. Maybe you will have better luck.

This is what I mean:
really want to share with you guys
i searched for a while in desirehd forum, and didn't see a thread about custom transition animation
i guess a lot of us are searching for this =]
this is the original thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849963
but i guess a detail instruction is necessary: (succeded just now)
1. copy "framework-res.apk" (/system/framework/framework-res.apk) to your sdcard
2. open it via 7zip on ur PC
3. Drag the anim folder with the animations (which you can download in the original thread) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.
4. go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9190418
5. download the attachment - Blank Update.zip.zip
6. Extract "Blank Update.zip.zip" then Open up the update.zip with 7zip
7. Drag your modified framework-res.apk to the "framework" folder in 7zip to overwrite the existing blank framework-res file
8. Close update.zip (agree to any messages about updating the file)
9. Copy update.zip to your sdcard
10. Flash the update.zip via ClockworkMod
havefun ^^
Not working for me...
I'm on an htc sense rom and used UOT kitchen to cook update.zip.
By the way, do you know how to get keyboard display/hide animation on stock rom?
It is far easier just to use MetaMorph and the relevant zip files can be found all over the forum. I will post them if anyone wants them.
Regards.
Anyone knows what files are for Opening and Closing an app? I want to replace only those but don´t know what xmls I have to use!
well, That works for me.
Thanks
Works great for me with Revolution HD.

Make sure you have animations enabled in settings >> display >> animations
Great guide! I've been doing this exact same thing for some weeks now on my Leedroid based DHD
One thing i could never get working was the stock android keyboard animation. The one where the keyboard slides up and down. On Sense roms there is no animation. Anybody here managed to get that animation working with Sense?

Nope, I installed the stock android animation files on Sense ROM (Revolution HD), and I have no keyboard animation, so this must be coded somewhere else...

There is a semi easy way:
-Grab your ORIGINAL framework apks that you'll be editing from \system\app
-Use 7zip to extra the apk to a folder and name it something like "TO-BE-MODDED"
-Grab the .apk from a themed version you liked and do the same steps as above but make the directory something like "FROM-MOD"
Within the FROM-MOD folder you'll have a lot of images and XML files... **DO NOT COPY XML FILES**
Transfer all the images to your TO-BE-MODDED folder and overwrite it. You can then .zip up the contents of that folder and change the extension to .apk and overwrite your \system\app .apk by using Root Explorer or adb push
**ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS YOU FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF FC'S IF YOU JACKED SOMETHING UP**
There's also a tool called APK Manager that will use adb pull if you know the apk you need or you can drop the apk in a working folder. It will then extract contents, allow XML to be edited, zip it back up, and even zipalign it
P.S The reason you copy XML files is because they can change colors, links, and behaviour of the ROM and will normally be the culprit for FC's if you overwrite or edit something improperly.

This method will change the base graphics no matter what ROM the theme is based on?
I'd really like to try cognition 4, but I like the Gingermix theme, which is for i9000 roms...
I ported the [THEME] Generation X v1.14 - port [Cognition/FireFly/JL1] boot animation for Cog. that whiteguypl ported into Cognition 3.0 into Cognition 4.1. I didn't add the settings from this theme as I have my own settings but it would be easy to do.

thank you, i know how to load fonts on the phone however i prefer to use whatever is built in. hence why i was asking if there were other fonts available on his theme.
While I have not looked into this version of the theme, there may still be the Sansation font from the original build by D3StRoY & R64.
Ok guys i managed to place a video on the lockscreen of my p30 pro using custom themes (i created it with hwttool), now is anyone capable to create an app or something that edits hwt files and let me overwrite the video file so that i can change my lockscreen/wallpaper whenever i want without having to place it on pc, make it zip, extract, overwrite, rename back and replace on phone? i will post the hwt i created with the video inside so you can think on how we can use it to place videos on a lockscreen without so much hassle.
Don't fall in love with Sana btw xD
Hwt: https://filebin.net/0bfxj9imka4785b0
i added an apk here that you can try: https://filebin.net/0bfxj9imka4785b0 done with custom live wallpaper creator for windows but it give me the permission only to place it on the wallpaper.. i want the video to be put in the lockscreen like the theme do.. is there any other solution? why the theme can do it but the apk not?? is there some way to edit a livewallpaper apk to be put in lockscreen too?

it would be awesome to have an apk version of this too.. is there an easy way to make an apk that installs the theme in the phone for easy sharing?
I managed to solve some of the problems above, at least for the apk that installs the theme on huawei (had to create it on kodular but has the theme inside, it can't install other themes outside himself) now i wanna know is there a way inside sana.hwt to change the wallpaper to a static image instead of a video? i tried to put there a image and rename it wallpaper.mp4 but it shows me a black screen.. on ext.properties there is only:
video_mode=1
wallpaper_video=wallpaper.mp4
what can i change to have a static image?
Great job
Can you put some videos like sea and waves etc...
Ofc you have just to rename Sana.Hwt to wawes.Zip extract to a folder, change inside description.xml the name of the theme to something like waves or sea, overwrite lock.Mp4 and wallpaper.Mp4 to any video you like, put all files back in the zip and change back name to .Hwt
Its not hard just a little tricky
I can do it for you if you can't alone but you have to find the video by yourself, possible with a resolution near to 1080x2160 if you want to have that good definition.
