[Q] How do I get back stock wallpaper?

Hi Guys, I have accidentally changed my wallpaper with bit of manic swiping .
How do I get the original wallpaper back?
It was the one that came with the ics theme from the kitchen on checkrom.
It doesn't appear when I try to change the wallpaper but I really liked it .

If u have root, go to system/app using root explorer extract twwallpaperchooser.apk
You are done..Built-in Wallpapers are stored in the above mentioned apk.

Please share the wallpaper.
Edit
Extract stock twwallpaperchooser.apk it has more cool wallpapers which are not visible in gallery/ wallpaper gallery.

That apk is not in my system/app folder. It's a custom rom and a lot of stuff was cut out.
I installed the ICU theme on top of the rom and that is where the background/wallpaper came from. It must be in there somewhere. I have tried re flashing the theme but it still comes up with the new wallpaper.
I'll gladly share the wallpaper if I can get it back
but it's not my work it was in the ICS Domination x1.0 theme.
Works and looks good. Just wish I hadn't messed with it .

I suggest you to download the stockROM which you used before and extract it, then extract the mentioned apk and you have all the images.... a little complicated and not really reasonable considering file size of stockROM but if you desperately need it... ^^
Here is the thread with all the ROMs listed:

EDIT:
Hey, you are lucky, i just was browsing the wallpaper thread and somebody requested the original stock wallpapers distributed with the Note. Check the thread and download the wallpapers from there:

how exactly does this work. I'm not familiar with using the hexworkshop for editing this file. I've been messing around with this whole tablet process for a couple days now and I am familiar with dex2jar and can accomplish what your saying, I would just like to know how it works and how you came to this process? It's just my own morbid curiosity, if you don't mind? Thanks

ah, I dont know what I'm doing wrong. It doesn't help that I have no clue how to use hexeditor but when I attempt to replace the first string "8E0009000A000000821B9900781D36061C36072A2A2A2A1506" with your suggested string "930009000A000000871B99007D1D36061C36072A2A2A2A1506 8617046E8B" I get an error saying that the strings need to be the same length in value. So it won't let me paste it in no matter what.

You're the man
Its work, wooowww how can you know this patch buddy.....awesome.
Thank you very much bud

Same as if you look at paranoidandroid rom. All apps that support tablet mode will turn to tabletUI. I guess the dpi 120 too small then crash the phone.apk

I tried to do exactly what you said on TouchWizHome_ZERO_MR1 but it doesn't show up. Do I need to edit something else?

I wonder can I pull it from the rom and place it on my phone. Going to try ?

First delete Touchwiz_Home_MR1 at system/privapp then flash the zip through recovery

to enable these features.

after that reboot in recovery ang flash the Touchwiz_Home.apk
which you just download. reboot after flashing.
I'm on albe95 S6 Port V3.0 and can confirm it's working.
No need to decompile/compile apk.

Need Help Editing SystemUI

Hello Guys,
I decided to try and modify the SystemUI of Stock OxygenOs 4.0.3 myself in order to achieve: Center Clock in Status bar as well as quick settings menu, 6 small qs tiles, 6 qs tiles in a row and only one row at that.
I already got familiar with apktool and the process but I have no Idea what file to edit, I searched through the files but could achieve any change.
I didn't find any tutorials that could help me either so I was hoping someone could help me here.
Thanks and if you need any more information just ask

Basically I want it to look something like this (Resurrection Remix)

The location is here system/priv-app/OPSystemUI
For tutorials, you can try to look around in Op3/Op3T mods sections - the dark theme/notifications have some.

Yes yes I know that but I meant which files inside the APK to edit, sorry for the confusion and thank you

Download the modded and stock Systemui.apk and decompile. Compare the result. You will learn everything only that way. The clock position is defined in status_bar.xml.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

If you're using a Windows computer, you can use a program called Winmerge to compare entire decompiled OPSystemUI folders (And all their sub-folders/files) and highlight differences in text files (including xml) between the two. If you find someone who has already posted a similar mod, you can compare that with the stock file to determine what they have changed. From there, it should be fairly intuitive.

Thank you, I actually thought about that but I didn't know a program capable of that, I'll try that

Update: I played around a bit and those Tips were somewhat helpful but I didn't manage to get the clock in the Center .
Most of the time there where no problems applying the new System ui but a few times it just refused to start sytemzui and I was Straight in the Launcher without a Statusbar and so on. After restoring the original apk to get it to work it Booted just to a Blackscreen where I could only open the power Menü and I had to wipe data to get in again. Amy idea why?
Also After restoring a backup of data cpu was always at Max

You probably forgot to include the AndroidManifest and META-INF files in the APK. Read up on this guide. It's quite old, but steps 1, 2, 3, and 15 in his guide are still applicable. Pay special attention to step 15 as it shows you how to sign the modded APK with the original signature. Without including these files, OOS will refuse to run the app. Any time he mentions SystemUI.apk, assume that you can do the same with OPSystemUI.apk.
---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------
For some reason, OOS 4.0.3 and below will sometimes allow improperly compiled OPSystemUI to run. It seems that as of OOS 4.1.0, you must correctly compile the app or it will always refuse to run it at boot.
