Question Default Wallpaper Location - Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)

Hey guys, I have a Redmi Note 11 running the latest Evolution X Android 13 build. I wish to add my own collection of wallpapers to a directory, such that it shows up in the "Wallpapers" by Google application. Many forum posts online indicate the "/system/framework/framework-res/apk. => /res/drawable-nodpi-v4/default_wallpaper.jpg". however I do not know how to swap out that picture. Please do help me on this. Thank you.
If any more information is required regarding the issue, I will gladly post it.

You should use a good apk editor, it would be enough with searching from where the images are allocated, and apend your images, then signing again, clearing caches, uninstalling it, and then reinstalling, and rebooting the device.
It sounds easier, just placing the images in a directory, into your internal memory, then they would be displayed in your launcher by picking a wallpaper from.

[AUDIO FILES] Have a very OGG-y AudioResources.zip (EDITED 2:11pm)

IF I'M USING YOUR RESOURCES.ZIP, LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CREDIT YOU!
I didn't see anyone having done this before on a search, and I apologize if it's been done already. I put together all the audio resources I could find for ringtones, alarms, notifications, and ui, converted them all to very small .ogg's and put them in a new zip. It's a little over 9 megs and has a LOT of stuff. Enjoy.
Oh, and if you have more to add, post them. I'll convert them it and add it to the zip
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
1. Unzip
2. IF you are using a media2sd script, put the media folder on your ext partition. If not, use it to replace the one on your phone. I recommend using adb, or just mounting the thing in linux. It'll make it simpler.
3. REBOOT and give your phone some time to index all the ringtones. It'll take some time.
AudioResources.zip:
http://www.lighthousesolutions.info/AudioResources.zip
EDIT:
A LOT of people are downloading and nobody is posting additional links, which means (I hope) that I didn't miss any sound files. I'm glad I could help people out, and if anybody else has anything to contribute please POST! Thanks.
Also, I forgot to post this the first time. Themers and rom developers (hell anyone) feel free to use the converted .ogg's in whatever you want. They aren't mine to start with, but I figure I better make the statement clear.
Enjoy

My compilation is on page 3 ~Mikey~
Thanks! Can't have too many random ringtones to choose from I say. Already got the giant mega audio resource list from the other topic that includes all the various android phones, this will just help more.

I think this includes all of those, although if you find some that I'm missing, please post them. The main draw of this is that all of sound files are as tiny as possible, making it so you can fit them on internal memory if you want to, or just use less space. The entire thing is only 9.4 mb, and it includes the ringtones from the hero and magic.
Post any ringtones it doesn't contain so I can squish them down to tiny size too.
I can't find any media2sd scripts on the forum. Can any one point me in the right direction?

You don't have your rom in your sig, so my help will have to be very basic. I run cyanogen's experimental rom (not for the faint of heart) and huanyu's user customizable script. Other than that I can't offer much help. What I can say is that if you push the ENTIRE contents of this zip to your ext partition on your sd card and use huanyu's script with media2sd activated, you'll be fine.
Huanyu also has a version of his script for the stable series of cyanogens roms.
I have NO idea how to do media2sd on hero. I don't support hero as an os and will never use it unless the ENTIRE android community decides to go that route.
If you are using another rom let me know and I'll see what I can do.
I'm currently on Drizzy's newest hero build, but the guts are the same. I went back and did some research and that script is working thanks for the help.

No problem, and I'm glad they're working out for you. So far I've got over 100 downloads, so it seems people like this.
Anybody with any additional tones to be added? I'd really like to beef it up!
I'd love to give you some of miine but I don't have any that don't have a copyright next to it but if you want them anyway I'll upload them for you.
Thank you mate!

Are any of them for a released or soon to be released android phone? I could put together a "legal" and a "questionable" vesion, although the latter might have to be off the forum (hint hint). I'd like to keep the one on here being full of nothing but official android and htc ringtones for released and soon to be released (ie leaked) android devices.
Noob Question...
I'm running CyanogenMod-4.0.4 + Recovery 1.4 and the community hero rom and was wondering how I should go about implementing this audio resources zip. Do i apply the update from the recovery? Or is there some other way of getting them on?
You can push them to /system/media....but I'd recommend using hyanu's userinit.sh script instead. media2sd is FAR superior for the number of sound files were talking about here.
any chance of this being posted elsewhere? Was looking to download this, but the site doesn't seem to exist.
Can't use my host for any more hosting of FREE ringtones

MiUI WVGA/HDPI -> qHD Lockscreen Theme Conversion

*UPDATE 4*:
Previews of existing themes are now viewable upon mouse over of the theme names.
*UPDATE 3*:
I have now turned this into a web based program hosted on my personal website. Things to know before trying it out:
-It will convert both old style themes (those with lockscreen directories instead of files) and new style themes (most themes).
-It will supply you with a download link to your converted theme and also a link to every theme that has been converted thus far. Check to see if your theme is already there before uploading it.
-Uploads and downloads from my server may be a bit slow, but considering how small most of these files are, this shouldn't be a major issue.
-The upload file size is limited to 8 MB. If you have a theme bigger than that, remove all non-lockscreen files from it and repack it before uploading it.
-The file name can not have any spaces or special characters. If it does, just rename it so that it doesn't before uploading it.
-The conversion is still not (any will never be) foolproof. There will be some cases where you'll have to go into the manifest.xml file and manually update the values that were overlooked. As it is though, it seems to fully convert ~90% of themes with no further work needed.
-If my website is not responding, send me a pm or post here.
-If you have any questions/issues, post here.
-Enjoy
Link: http://betelicious.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/converter
*UPDATE 2*:
v0.2 attached! It now takes care of all the extracting and repacking for you. You basically just feed it an mtz file and it will handle the rest. This will currently only work with *new* style themes, where the mtz contains an archive called "lockscreen". The logic is the same as before.
*UPDATE 1*
The Perl script is attached! READ THE INCLUDED README!! If you still have questions, feel free to post here or pm me.
All I ask is that you guys help each other out- If you're able to successfully use the script, help out those who can't by converting any requested themes from this thread. And please share here any themes you are able to successfully convert! Let this serve as the official qHD converted theme thread. As always, have fun and enjoy!
The easiest way to make this work properly is to follow these steps:
1.) Download cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
2.) Run setup.exe.
3.) At the "Select packages" screen in the installer, search for "perl", click "Perl" to expand it, and then click on "Skip" for "perl: Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language" so that "Skip" changes to the version number, meaning it will be installed.
4.) Do the same for "perl-Image-Magick: image manipulation software suite (Perl bindings)", which should also be listed there under the expanded "Perl" section, so that it's version is displayed. Also ensure that the zip and unzip utilities are installed in the same way.
5.) Search for 'make' and select Devel->make (The GNU version of the 'make' utility) so that it too installs. You'll need this to install any modules in CPAN later.
5.) Click next and complete the cygwin installation.
6.) Open cygwin and, at the prompt type "cpan".
7.) At the cpan prompt, type "Install Image::Info"
8.) Once the Image::Info module is installed, you should be able to run the script without any errors.
Hey guys, I got tired of trying MIUI lockscreen themes only to find that they don't work with my Sensation (along with any other qHD phone). So I wrote a little Perl script to take care of most of the tedious stuff (resizing all of the images and calculating and replacing all of the x, y, w, h values within manifest.xml). This actually takes care of everything in some cases. For example I converted the Sense Ring lockscreen theme with this script and it was good to go in about 10 seconds of work.
But I want to make it clear that I will not be spending copious amounts of time fixing things that the script doesn't already fix. If it's something little, I'll try to fix it. Or if it's something big and I'm bored, I'll also try to fix it, but I'm making no guarantees!
I'm also looking into a way to automate the process by possibly hosting this script somewhere and allowing anyone to upload an mtz file and get the updated mtz back. If this is ever happens, it will not be foolproof, but it will be an enormous first step in any WVGA/HDPI -> qHD conversion. So bring on your requests!
*PLEASE INCLUDE A LINK TO THE THREAD OR WEBSITE WHERE THE THEME YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS LOCATED SO I DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH!!*

Fixed the last one first because it was requested by someone else too. Everything was perfect after the conversion except for the music controls. Spent a long time trying to figure out why and eventually just manually fixed it. Otherwise these are going smooth! I'll get to the rest tomorrow hopefully.
Well you made script to resize and changing values of mainfest for your phone
it will be awesome if you make script for mdpi devices as can use miui lock on it but resizing manually really time consuming

[PLEASE HELP] Lenovo K3 Note (K50-T5)

Hello to all guys , I just got this fantastic Lenovo phablet , but I do not like the translation and Vibe UI , I want to find a pure Android rom . I know that almost certainly there are devices that have the Lenovo compatible roms . Can anyone help me out ? :crying::crying::crying:
I have the same problem, I just changed to new version of VibeUI and had some problems with google apps HELP!
I'm pretty sure as this phone is, new rooting and roms are still being developed. Be patience.. or learn to make one yourself
To those who find this thread do be careful! I've already seen posts about people who have bricked this phone trying to root it.
Got the same phone. Liking the layout etc. Not the official VIBE UI rom.
It's set to English, but still finding Chinese icons/text everywhere.
Since I don't speak/read Chinese; issue...
Also sometimes laggy, due to lots of processes/apps running in the background, which can not be deleted or stopped.
Looking forward to when the community embraces this phone, and stock Android ROMS will be available on short term.
It's a (edit: potential!) flag-ship killer, in my eyes...
Hi,
I am trying to port cm12 to this device. It is the first time I am doing although I have previously created custom ROMs by editing system.img, so I am a noob.
I managed to get a stock rom: K50-T5_USR_ST1516_5.654.1_1504152228_MP6V3_CN.rar.
I have slightly modified build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh to be able to work with mediatek files which have a 512 bytes extra header.
I've triedt to create a recovery but I am not sure if it will work as I have some errors in the output

Should I copy anything from boot or recovery's ramdisk?
You can find attached the information I've been able to collect (info.txt and build.prop.txt) and build.log which was in a folder in the stock ROM.

AOSP based 5.0 build for the K3 Note
Nanj at a Chinese forum had released an AOSP based 5.0 build for the K3 Note
http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-551335-1-1.html (in Chinese but with captures)
The download link:
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqAdrrY
No gapps are included. The build functions ok. Camera, phone / data, and wifi seem to work. However please note that there is an undesirable apk, posed as a system component, at /system/app/SystemServer/SystemServer.apk. It sends frequent packets back to 622b6.romdu.com in China, similar to the issue in another post for a different rom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55315205&postcount=54
The ROM also comes with a Chinese version of the Opera browser, Oupeng, which also sends analytics packets in the background.
With the two programs removed suspicious packets are no longer obvious from logcat.

New VIBE UI
There has been a new update released by Lenovo.
VIBEUI_V2.5_1524_5.955.1_ST_K50-T5
I have not updated as of yet, for the reason being I am very dissatisfied with the VIBEUI. I currently run 1522, despite the obvious and numerous complications of using the Asian based firmware. I have had to replace the dialer and sms, mms apps as well as install a font manager, even so I am still unable to get 4G working. I would much prefer a pure Android rom and for the past month have been considering beginning a project to build a new Lollipop rom supporting the 67xx MTK chipsets. It would be my first attempt at doing so since all my previous phones have been LG, HTC and NEXUS devices which have always proved easy enough to manipulate and customize.
If anyone out there has experience in building custom roms, especially for devices using the newer 64bit Mediatek chipset, please feel free to contact me. I would appreciate any help offered in this endeavor and I know there are many other MTK device owners out there that are just waiting for someone, or a group of someones', to pioneer a solution for those of us in the western hemisphere using these MTK devices. I am constantly on the look out for new information and projects pertaining to this, additionally I have a dedicated computer with all the SDKs needed to begin the project.
PM me if you are interested in helping kick start this project. Thanks.
What is the significance of this ROM string? I see that "ST" prob means (stable).
Know what "CC", "WCA2" and "WCA8" means in these I found below?
Do you know where is the (official) location to find the latest English language ROM?
My proximity sensor is not working and I'm wondering if moving to a diff ROM will fix that.
VIBEUI_V2.5_1520_7.128.1_CC_K50-T5_WCA2.zip (Android 5.0)

I would appreciate any help offered in this endeavor and I know there are many other MTK device owners out there that are just waiting for someone, or a group of someones', to pioneer a solution for those of us in the western hemisphere using these MTK devices. I am constantly on the look out for new information and projects pertaining to this, additionally I have a dedicated computer with all the SDKs needed to begin the project.
PM me if you are interested in helping kick start this project. Thanks.

Firefox OS for Android One (Sprout) Phones

Anyone built already a flashable .zip file or .img files for Android One (Sprout) smartphones? Anyone can upload the latest version here? I'm not of a techy type of person but it seems like a lot of Android One users are looking for an easy installable ROM for their Android phones. Like this for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/flashable-firefox-os-rom-android-one-t3160682
I found this link: https://github.com/b2g-sprout/ however a lot of them are not technically enough and even I don't even know what to do with these files even though I have already tried using Firefox's instructions and some other articles on the Web about Porting FFOS. Full instructions on how to build Firefox OS from the files on the given link would also be appreciated. And also an example on how to update them for the latest version. Thanks for all willing to help...
Technically, the files from b2g-sprout github can be directly built after syncing AOSP source code.
The guide itself is mentioned in the B2G readme file here

Can you give me specific instructions then on what to do with these files then? Please. I tried extracting "B2G" and "B2G-manifest" on my Home Directory then the "device-sprout" to the folder inside B2G: "device/google/sprout/" and I have no idea what to do to the others but when I try "./config.sh", it keeps on telling me that "sprout.xml" doesn't exist which I have no idea why. I am still very confused and hoping that you can solve this thing. I would also want to help and upload builds if ever, posting it on those users asking for a Firefox OS build for their Android One phones. Hope you can help us... :angel: I'll note you on those posts also so don't worry. :good: I will appreciate it also if you are to upload an already built rom for Firefox OS 'coz I have searched every corner of the internet already and there's not yet a version for Sprout. Thank you very much...
Still Searching
I have been searching everywhere for weeks now but still no answers. Anyone can help? Sorry but I'm really a big fan of the Open Web... And would really want to create apps for FFOS. :crying:

How can I (re)make an old obsolete app to work on the latest Android version?

Greetings to all. I am new to this forum and I have a question for you experts.
There is a very old and abandoned app that I used to like a lot. It is very simple (the size was just 99KB). It is simply creating a floating icon above other apps that initiates screenshots.
When I tried to install and use it on my OnePlus 5, I got the message that this application needs to be updated.
The thing is that there is no update available for this app because the developer for his own reasons abandoned the project.
Could this be because of the modified Android version my device is running? Or is it because the app is no longer compatible for the latest Android versions in general? (My old device was under 4.4 KitKat)
Is there a way to resolve this manually perhaps by decompiling , editing and recompiling the apk?
Is there a way to recreate the same apk to be compatible with the latest bunch of Android versions?
Is there perhaps a way to avoid all the hassle and "trick" the app thinking that everything is O.K.?
Since I am a complete and utter n00b, please explain to me.
I wish to thank you all in advance for your time and effort to answer to me.
The apps' source code needs to be updated.
Do you have a link to the apps' source code?
Would also help to know what app you're talking about.

I have the apk file if that helps. I tried to private message you but I was not able.
How can I provide the source to you?
The link to the actual apk file is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zImcIf1lret_9XsCRawrj4FLPtbMGe7j
The app is creating a floating button/icon that allows to take screenshots of a specific (designated by the app and fixed) area of your screen. You can take multiple screenshots and evry single screenshot appears in tiny thumbnails on your screen, each one next to the other. All screenshots are getting erased automatically after a few seconds (don't recall how many, maybe 30 secs).
Yeah I have private messaging disabled. I prefer to do any communication on the forums.
As I mentioned, the source code needs to be updated. So if you post the source code I'd be willing to take a look.
No guarantees of course. Lots has changed in android over time. A lot of code has been deprecated. Don't know if it can be updated or if it's just better to start from scratch.

I really appreciate your willingness to assist.
As I mentioned I am not very android developing savvy, I have the classes-dex2jar.jar.src.zip here: ------------
Is this what you are looking for???
Let me know if I am mistaken.
I have also extracted all the contents of the apk using apk studio. Let me know if you need anything else.

I did a little digging by decompiling the app so that I can look at the strings.xml to get the official app name. With the app name I did some research and concluded that the developer did not make it open source. This means its original java code is not public and therefore the app cannot be updated.
You'll have to find another app in the play store similar to this one for your use.
