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.

You can just create a new boot animation, and replace the current one..
but where is the problem?
CM Devs have given you an excellent rom, let the name stay there, thats the only place its showing

BTW, how to create a boot animation with our name

Extract the bootanimation from the rom and edit the Png´s on the .zip of bootanimation...

Note: Your phone must be rooted to do this
I haven't tested this on any other phones. You can test it and post your results here.
Get the DefaultThemes.apk from system/app directory.
Open this apk on your pc using winrar.
Goto res/drawable-mdpi (or hdpi) folder.
Select your favourite theme (ex: blue, green.. etc)
Open the png file corresponding to that colour. If you select blue, it will be "blue_application_background.png".
Edit it according to your wish.
Then save it.
You will get a message from winrar to update the files in the archive. Press YES.
That's it!!
Now put the apk back in your phone and change the permissions to rw-r--r--
No need to restart. Goto your settings and you will see your picture on the background.
Note:
**drawable-land-mdpi folder contains the files that is being used when you are in landscape mode. You need to replace them also.
**Make sure that you are using image files according to your device's resolution.
**Replace more application background files to get different pictures for different themes.
**Use pictures with low brightness (your texts are in white colour right?)
****** Always keep a backup before testing
Hit Thanks if I helped you. It only takes 1 second
If you have any questions regarding this Post it in HERE.
Xperi S its different... there is no defaultthemes.apk
try this folders
/system/vendor/framework/
or
/system/vendor/framework/overlay

good work bro
RavinduSha, thank you very much for the tip!
I add some advice, for a full compatibility between portrait and landscape mode, the user should make same changes on res\drawable-land-mdpi or (res\drawable-land-hdpi) ( * -land- * ) where are the landscape backgrounds.
Another thing:
Files:
res\drawable-hdpi\?????_preview_focused.jpg
res\drawable-hdpi\?????_preview_normal.jpg
Are used on the preview, so the user, if have time can change those files to reflect his customized theme.

Simple answer, I think no one knows on our forum. See if someone did it with some more popular phone. Like S2, S3... If it is done there, it should be possible for our phone. It need some modding, change in some xml if it is even possible.
I think you should find xml for lockscreen in framework-res.apk, and see if there is possibility for font size change. And after that there is question is there way to put it in place where you put it in picture.

You should search all over xda, for GB TouchWiz modification of that lockscreen. And if you find it, you can't use that, our framework need to be moded like that.

it should be in /system/framework/framework-res.apk; unzip it, go into drawable-hdpi, edit files "zzz_unlock_clock_[number].png" to suit your taste, push it into zip, rename to .apk, push to system, change permissions to 644 and reboot

How do unzip a file .apk?
(On your PC) Just use WinZip or 7zip to open the APK file.... Go to your destination folder.. Drag and drop it on where ever you want... Open it.. Make the changes... And put the folder back in... Therefore replacing the original one..
Note that this can be done only for replacing normal PNG or JPEG files.. For editing anything else you will have to decompile the apk and do it

Thanks for the answer but now it appears so
Please use a Transparent PNG file and the white background should disappear
I think you just resized the original PNG file using something like MS Paint.... Just use Microsoft Office Picture Manager or anything similar for this...
Or use the software tool Fast Stone Image Resizer (sorry I forgot the exact name) for Windows.... Its pretty simple to use..
Its better if you still have the original backup of the original framework-res.apk... Because you can't use your new PNG files as you might need Photoshop or any advanced photo editing software to remove that white background.....

I just resized the original file ... She says that instead of resize with "Paint" I have to do with other software specific to that type of change?
Photoshop, Gimp... Save it in transparent png.

As I told you before; to only resize your PNG files use Fast stone Image resizer... (google it!!) And for any advanced image editing use GIMP or Pinta (if you find GIMP hard to use)

I've decompiled OnOffTools.apk but I don't find the png image of the widgets background in drawable-xhdpi...
Any idea where I can fing this png ?
Thanks in advance.
how does your /res/...folders look?
there should be the pngs...hdpi,mdpi,xhdpi folder and more
i tried it out,i see them
i see there pngs like minimised_plate.png, plate.png, plate_pressed.png and all the icon.png's
see my png file,thats in drawable-xhdpi folder
is it, what you ask for?
edit:
i saw you asked the same in the honami home thread? so i guess you mean the onofftools.apk from that honami.zip?

Yes, I use the honami onofftools.apk. The widget backgroung is white. There's plate.9.png in /res/drawable/nodpi. I hope it's the good one.

I've modified plate.9.png (just applied negative filter on the white part), refashed OnOffTools.apk, but Xperia home FC when I try to add the widgets.
However, since it is a 9 patch png, I've left the image border unchanged...
When you saved the image did you save it as a .9.png and not a standard .png?
It works fine in my UFT zip

A lot of the time photoshop doesn't.
I usually copy out the images im editing to another folder, make my edits and then when saving double click the image in the new folder to pick up the full name including .9
I use a USB stick as my workbench so i can drag and drop without moving and overwriting things unless i want to.

Yes, I've renamed my new image with .9.png extention and I'm really think that my new .9.png is good. Then, I've use Winrar to replace the png in OnOffTools.apk. Actually, Xperia home FC because my new OnOffTools.apk does not want to install...
I'll try to recompile OnOffTools.apk instead of using Winrar.
oh you not use apktool for decompile and recompile?
i recommend using it. its quiet easy after you setup everything
i normally open the 9.png with photoshop,then i edit and keep the black borders like it was, i not touch frame.just change color or whatever.then i just save it. (same file) its the best to edit the stock files. i think better than replace with others. just my experience
(for example open stock.9.png in drawable folder, then edit it, and override/save the file same place...)
oii,im not sure, was that understandable english?
also at beginning i got errors, only while i painted wrong accidentally some pixels in 9.png files. you sure you not touch the borders?
edit: i read u tried recompiling? have some errors while recompiling?
more edit: i remember something, after recompiling you put META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the stock OnOffTools.apk inside your new compiled apk?

Dont bother messing with apks, use UFT.zip, you can find a link and details in my thread in the theme section(basic theming guide).

Sucess!!
Firstly, I didn't succeed in recompliling because my 9.png was wrong. Now, the recompiling is working so the 9.png is ok.
The Winrar method don't seem to work all the time because I've use it with the good 9.png and then after fashing Xperia home FC.
Thanks for your help.
I would also suggest using apkmanager or multitool as they provide an log to check for errors.
