wallpaper image deleted yet its still my wallpaper....where is the file? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'll be blunt:
-I put a bunch of pics on my phone
-made one of them my wallpaper
-decided to delete a bunch of them
-deleted the pic I used for my wallpaper by accident
-I want to find the physical file....but it doesnt exist.
...BUT I can turn my phone completely off and when I turn it back on it still manages to load the deleted image as the wallpaper. If it can still load the image it must be on my phone somewhere...or is it?

It's in /data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper.
You will notice that it doesn't have an extension, so using Root Explorer, copy it to your sdcard, use Rename to place the proper extension (for example: wallpaper.png) and you're ready to go!

Or just use a new wallpaper, simple.

Oh my God... Seriously, what is your problem?
Maybe he wants the exact same wallpaper and has erased it and can't find it again.
I know, it's not common, but -NEWSFLASH- it happens.
And I offered a very thorough advice on that, what exactly did you offer with your post?
You've been helpful a lot around here -don't take this the wrong way-
but you're bitter and ironic most of the time. Well, there's no need for that.
Stick with offering some help and insight.

Direct advice, if it's such an issue, just change the wallpaper

TouchWiz Launcher and Widgets

Here is the apk for the touchwiz launcher. I installed it with no problems. (directly through phone) this is the touchwiz30_rolle file. This file does not need to be installed through adb!
Credit goes to rolle3k in the nexus section for the touchwiz30_rolle.apk file
the touchwiz.zip file includes samsung widgets and original unmodified touchwiz launcher file. I have not tested/tryed these, though if you want to install them, it must be done through adb.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
couldnt attach the files directly so they can be found at:
http://www.multiupload.com/UPBFG48SEN
I'm willing to try. I have already backed up. Do I just do a normal push?

I believe so, if it isnt, they may need to be compiled into a zip file for clockwork.
Its funny, all the people with a vibrant want nothing more than to get rid of touchwiz, and here we are adding it.

haha tell me about it, i just came from a vibrant to this and i dont want nothing to do with it at all! lol
i just wish i could get the memo.apk to work on my phone :'[
Did anyone have luck pushing the files? I haven't gotten a chance to get to my computer to do this.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Problems
I tried pushing it, and i am not getting it to install. anyone have better luck.
(i am referencing the the TouchWiz30Launcher.apk file)
Thanks downloading now directly to my phone.
EDIT: The launcher is a little slow when I scroll thru the icons. Plus the widgets doesn't want to install so I removed the whole thing.
Thanks anyway!

how did you get the launcher file to install?. I had no luck. i got it to push, just couldnt get it to install. please post directions.
VibrantOwnr,
In the zip file the .apk named "TouchWiz30_rolle.apk". That's the only one that installed for me. The one named "TouchWiz30Launcher.apk" wouldn't install at all. The widgets wouldn't install either for some reason.
TouchWiz30_rolle.apk is just the launcer. No widgets!

My gf has a vibrant and she love the touchwiz. I like it a lot too is just personal preference.
Yes its also very choppy when flipping through screens on the application drawer....
can we possibly get a fix to that? I really love and prefer the TouchWiZ interface but the choppiness kills it, any one have any ideas as to whats causing it?

GingerThemed shapewriter

Personally I love shapewriter way more than swype, idk personal preference i guess, and because of that I decided to make my own personal theme. Since then its just been laying around and i haven't really shared it.
So here it is for anyone who wants it.
UPDATE: Well I actually made this update a long time ago now, but better late than never here you go. I'll put up a new screen later.
Hey Funkencool, thanks for the GingerThemed Shapewriter, fantastic looks, much more pleasant to look at than the standard Shapewriter keypad. and agree, I like it much better than Swype
Yo funkbrudda long time no see thanks for da app. And just curious, u still theming? Sure would like to some funky love put on a liberty theme!
Very cool, thanks!
Could someone repost it? Thanks in advance.
Updated OP with update and now it's a good link. This one should be a lot prettier.

Not to sound like an idiot, but what program does my computer need to open this file? It currently will not let me open a .apk file.
If mean to theme it? 7-zip works wonders just right click after installing and there's a specific 7zip menu in there lies your answer
Ok, not sure what I'm doing wrong. Downloaded, opened in Root Explorer, found on the sd card, hit install. I get a green checkmark, but it says "Application not installed."
I've removed the app from my sd card and tried downloading it again 3 times. Each time is the same thing. I even checked my setting to see if the app showed up under language&keyboard (cause of the green check mark i am getting), but still, nothing.
Can someone please tell me why this isn't working for me? Or, am I missing a step?
Alright one sec. I'll check it out. I may have posted the wrong one I'll test it out, Otherwise sounds like you got it.
EDIT: Seems to have been corrupted somehow so I'll reupload a working version shortly. GOT it, should work now

need Acer Icona Photo Browser 3D

I had an acer icona tab for a short time and loved thr photo browser 3d app. Question is can it be used on samsung galaxy 10.1 thru verizon ? Im rooted, and have tried the app with failure. Is there any way for this app to work, i will pay if i can get this app.....either that or im thinking about buying another icona and give this to my 4yr old daughter.
Solution
Download and extract attached zip.
Change permissions "3DPhotoBrowser.apk" in rw-r-r, copy in your system/apps and reboot.
Copy in your system/lib "libaceralbum.so" and "libphotoflow.so".
Tested by me in rom Overcome 2.1.1 and 2.2.0.
That's all.

Very nice; thanks! Working great on GalaxyTask 10. Two questions, though:
1. Any way to make it read your Picasa gallery?
2. What did you mean by "the quality of the pics ain't as good as the real app?" The cover picture you swapped out? Or our actual pictures as we view them?
Thanks

It shows up but when I press nothing happens. I think it may be cross application. Can you cut from say browser and paste into gmail?
When you long press on a word or something you dont get two blue triangles that can be adjusted to include whatever you want

Its working cross application like the other user posted. Try a reboot. Might just be a glitch or bug that occurred. If its still happening, do you have any copy n paste apps like clip it or something installed?

That's an odd issue there, can't say I've ever seen Android system files get corrupted, just people installing the wrong files...

Let us know if that fixes it or not. Being rooted or not has no bearing on whether copy n paste functions work or not.
It took me a while to get use to this.
But this is working for me.
CTRL+X and
CTRL+V
I'm doing this right now from the slightly buggy Chrome
Beta that is bugging out as I try to type this.
Just remember that you have to first select over a word with your cursor in a text box window by holding down on it for a second until the double blue arrow appears so you can adjust your selection. Then the cut, copy, or paste keyboard command should work.

HTC Sync Manager

where is the ISO that pops up on my Mac when I plug my phone in located? I'd like to delete it.
Thanks
EDIT:
Found it.
/etc/PCTOOL.iso
bye bye!
Happened to me too the first couple times plugged into a PC. It would load a separate drive which resembled an ISO. Hasnt happened tho in the last few days
I was getting it every time I plugged my phone in.

You need root. Then you use a file manager like root explorer navigate to /etc. Delete the iso
