Like the title says. I put them in a couple places already. But still can't get them to work. Last i tryed I put them in, ADWLauncher>res>mdpi
Thanks
would also be interested in this... i like the wallpaper gallery for choosing the ... choices.
I suppose if i knew what folder contained them I could just move them?
well to get ringtones on the phone you put them in media/audio/ringtones. So the wallpaper gallery might go into /media/pictures/wallpaper(s) or /media/wallpaper(s). That would be my guess
that would be great, if those folders existed, but they dont.
I know there must be some place the WPs that came with this ROM are stored, not on the SD card... the wallpaper gallery is accessing something... somewhere...
but i'll be ****ed if I can find it.
probably total obvious n00b mistake, i'm sure, but I am stumped.
I had to make the media folder for the ringtones. Search how to put custom ringtones on android. My guess is the wallpaper gallery would be done in the same fashion
Sorry to tell you guys you are wrong. I know for a fact it has to be in the Launcher.apk (or what ever launcher you are useing.
If you put it in there and rename the image to one of the other images in there it will work. kinda a work around.

is there any way to customize the app menu? such as adding folders for games, email & im, media..? tryed searching the forum and google but cant find anything
if you're rooted and have one of the compatable roms, there is a thread in the development forum which has a customized launcher.apk, allowing you to do all the things you just asked for.
i had just got the g1 2 days ago, kind of want to wait a little before doing that stuff. i got a file manager... there isnt any way to just get to a folder with the icons and add folders, and rearrange? always was the first thing i did with my WM phones... im a little OC about my menus
Like he said, not without the new launcher. You can add a folder to the desktop and name it and such. Don't worry it took me a week before I decided to flash my phone.
You can always add folders to the desktop.

Hi,
Anyone know what the 'resource' source is when selecting where it finds wallpapers to switch?
Also why does a wallpaper I have deleted still show up? (I suspect this is related to my first question!)
Thanks
Phil
It should lie in /system/customize/resource/
It may lie in another folder as well, but that's at least where I found them. How did you delete a wallpaper? (And what kind of wallpaper was that? A custom you had stored on the sd-card or one of the stock ones?)
I meant deleted one of my own from the SD card.
Can see few images used by the default Hero screens, wonder why is there an MP3 in the resource folder? TTMN_MP3_30_SEC.mp3
Don't recall anything using that yet!
Curious
I believe it's the startup tune..
It's strange that a wallpaper you have used is still listed...
I'm confused on this one. Today I went to change my ringtone for my text messages and to my surprise I have 2 ringtones for each type. They both work and are both the exact same as the other with its name. Recently I flashed a new bootscreen and the only thing I could think of is this contained media files which flashed as well. But then I am confused why they didn't simply overwrite. I went into my file explorer and navigated to system/media to see if potentially I had two ringtone folders in there, or maybe even just duplicates of each one, but no dice. Its not a huge issue, as I'm sure even if they are doubled up in my memory it can't take up that much space, however knowing they are there is bothering me and I dont wanna start over just because of this lol
I am debating trying to delete the system/media/ringtones folder through adb and seeing what happens. Is there another place a second copy of these bad boys might be hiding out? Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks
EDIT: I just double checked my bootscreen which I flashed and it doesn't contain any of those files. (Didn't think it would, but I'm outta ideas)
EDIT2: Ah HA! Thought I would post that I have found a solution for anyone else who might be interested.. I simply pulled all the notifications/ringtones.. deleted them off the phone.. rebooted.. repushed.. bingo.
I know how to make regular icons transparent b/c I've already done that, but I can't seem to get the Folder one to work. I tried w/ Desktop Visualizer, but I haven't been able to use it to make a folder to put mulitple stuff in unless I'm just missing it. Can somebody help please?
Check out the app Folder Organizer. You can use custom icons for them along with a whole slew of other things. Great app. Check out my post alittle further down entitled Justice League icons to see how I used it.
Thanks man. I have that app on my SD card actually, but never got around to installing it, lol. I'll check it out now.
Is their any way to change the font on the folders? I mean to make the background of the font clear?
I just got the gtablet for christmas and I just found this forum. I hope this wasnt asked before if it was please direct me. How do I change the wallpaper? I have it setup as classic home. Also while on classic home I only have the following icons weather, news, photos,music, videos, and clock how do I get all my icons there instead of touching the 3rd icon down in the lil tool box on the side? I also read on here about people loading different software on instead of the taptap thing it uses. What are the advantages of the different software? Sorry its long..Thanks

Maybe start here: http://gtabfans.com/
That will give you some basics about the different roms and other things.
Then read, and read, and read some more.
Most importantly is whatever you decide.. "Follow The Steps EXACTLY" Don't not do them because it just doesn't seem right. It is very easy to mod this tablet. It is also very easy to run into problems. None of the problems are real serious, and can be fixed but they will make you nuts trying to figure out what happened. So follow the directions....
The reason people put different roms on there tablet, or phone, or whatever is to gain features, to fix things that don't work right, and to gain performance. Out of the box the tablet is not bad nowadays in comparison to what was loaded on it when I first got mine.
If you are new to this, read, read, read....... And don't be afraid. It is hard to really break this thing...
im so lost lol i tried to install that clockwordmod thingy and i cant get it...so frustrating
I believe there are two different update.zip files for clockwork. One for internal sd and one for external. I used the external. Put it on micro sd, insert, power down, boot into recovery with power and volume +, and voila... There are several great tutorials on this site...

1st, Way to go with making the move to a custom rom.
Setting wallpaper
-All you need to do is press and hold on the home screen.
-You will see a pop up with options.
-Go to wallpaper.
-Select where you are getting the wallpaper from.
-Choose your wallpaper and you will have to crop it a bit and save...
You should now have your wallpaper set.
For Clocks you need to go to the market and choose your preference of clocks for example like typoclock and do sort of the same as above but this time with widgets.
Hope that helps.
how do i make custom wallpaper or install ones people made on here to download?
If you download an image from the Gtablet or just transfer it to it, it should show up in your gallery. For me, I usually need to reboot for the Gallery to see new images. Once you get the wallpaper popup, one of the options is Gallery. Use that, find your image and select it.
Most of all spend some time screwing around with Android and learn the OS. Always remember the long press and the menu key. They are th skeleton keys to Android. If there's and option you're looking for, one of those two is usually how you'll find it.
