Wallpaper location? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm an ass, so I posted this a couple of other places before it occured to me to post my question in the proper section. Sorry about that. Here goes.
Where do I find the actual wallpaper files in a rom? I'd like to pull a wallpaper from one rom to use with another, but I've been searching with root explorer for the last hour and I've got nothing. Any help is welcome.

Backing up the wallpapers is easy. Adding them to the new rom, not so easy. Give me a few minutes and ill see if i can find where the wallpapers are stored.

they are in the .apk of the launcher

Fixing Missing Apps from the Market?

Ok tried searching but not having any luck.trying to fix the missing apps from the market. Like E! Online and PayPal app and many more. I'm running odex froyo Rom with oclf and root. Can someone please help me fix this issue. It's been abiut a week and the apps still are not showing up. Thanks a million!

They are not going to show up because you are running a leaked firmware version that is not recognized by the market. You can do a couple things:
wait for the official 2.2 to come out and live without certain apps for a while, or search around the forums for a fix that involves editing your build.prop (I think) to make the market see a different (authorized) firmware version.
Man got to be a fix some where! Had a leaked Tom before and the missing apostle showed up some how.

Why don't you just google search for them? I found a link to the paypal apk download in seconds.
Go to 4 shared and download the .apk
Files
OP, I agree with pdefazio, if you have tweaked it enough to be running a custom ROM, with lag fix, and root, you should easily be able to edit the build.prop file...

Avatar, File Not Found, Yes I've read other threads

Hi XDA:
I still have the Avatar movie on external sd card, pushed the avatar.apk file to /system/apps, and made sure the proper movie sub directory was copied from an old back up to my internal sd card under the sd card directory. Still getting ' file not found' when click Avatar icon. I can watch the movie using the video player and I'm sure this is something small that I've forgotten, and I researched other threads regarding this issue but cannot find an answer. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. I'm currently running Nero v3. Cheers.

Same issue. I was never able to figure it out so I just use the video player to launch it.

If anyone can shed some light on this it would really be appreciated. I am selling one of my Vibrants as I've just purchased a Nexus S and I'm trying to get this working for them before I ship it. Thanks again
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
This has to do with the different ways 2.1 and 2.2 name the external sd card - 2.1 calls it "sd" or "sdcard" (can't remember...been a while since 2.1), while 2.2 calls it "external_sd." So, you need the Avatar apk that has the correct name in the movie filepath.
The attached apk's should solve your problem. If you are running a 2.2 rom, then use the one I attached named "Avatar_22." Push it to your system/app just like you were doing before.
Disclaimer: I did not make the 2.2 compatible Avatar shortcut. I had this same issue and found it somewhere on this site, but figured I'd just share the apk instead of trying to search out the original source. If this makes someone mad, let me know and I'll give the proper credit or remove it - whichever you prefer.
Awesome.. Exactly what I needed and I'll give it a whirl once I arrive home from work. Thanks.

Worked perfectly already tested it here. Thanks so much, I'll +1 to your thanks meter once I can get to my home computer. Cheers.

[Q] Bionix Frost Wallpaper?

New to XDA. Need help, looking for the Bionix frost wallpaper that came pre installed. (Girl with diamond in hand) Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Open Frost using WinRar. System>framework>framework-res.apk>res>drawable>>>>>>>Default_wallpaper<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I'm able to find other wallpapers within the framework-res.apk\res\drawable but not the picture that showed up when I first booted frost. Its the one with the girl holding that diamond with the blue goo on it. I really like it and I'm not able to find it to apply it once again.
You might try asking one of the Team Whiskey guys to put it up. Have you tried looking around on their website?
Try looking here http://board.teamwhiskey.com/viewforum.php?f=9&sid=988af7eb2a03259eb543435b68353927 it's a link to the themes section of the Team Whiskey website.
I've tried looking in themes on Team Whiskeys page and I'm still not successful. I've posted a similar topic on there site as well about this. I appreciate the help from those that have posted cause it is just a picture. You'd think it would be easier to find than this.

Using the above mentioned method using unrar or root explorer by user "cito11", select "default wallpaper" as mentioned, but be sure your in the "drawable-hdpi" folder, not just drawable and extract it. I had the same issue because the thumbnail displayed is not the girl. But once extracted and viewed in gallery, it is indeed the beautiful blue princess... Lol good luck

This is how I found a wp,that I needed.
Using root explorer,went to system/app/launcher,long pressed,extracted to sd,went to sd/extracted/launcher/res/drawable-land-hdpi or drawable-hdpi.
Scroll down to the wp .jpgs copy/paste back to wp folder in sd.
There's probably a shorter method,but this worked for me.
Mundusvultdecipi was correct and thanks to he and Cito11,I've found an easier method.
Wow I was opening the default_wallpaper but not extracting it since it was showing up as a different pic. How weird. Thank you guys!

and again I find my self at one of your abusive threads boy this is fun, you said your own a custom rom so why not here is a long shot go to the rom thread take a look and ask in there, and stop being a foul mouthed short tempered prick because frankly you may be making my evening quite fun but you aint going to get any help, and the problems you having with the kitchen maybe be something to do with you needing to be spoon fed information.
And no wear in this thread have you made "numerous" posts saying what rom you are on, except the one post you made after *****ing like a twat again.

What question? There's only one question; "What am I missing?".
A few braincells? Some manners? Some basic grammar? Self-control mechanisms?
Did I get it right? What did I win??

To view system files on your phone you need root explorer, probably others similar but that's the one i use

Taken from the Checkrom forum post I suggest you read about the rom you are using before making posts like this one again.
In regards to the kitchen make sure you are set to the correct server if its set to the old Revolution ROM 2.7.1 i would take a stab and say they wont work since they are built for XXKI3.
Also try removing cached packages from kitchen pro preferences.
Base XXKI4
Multi CSC
Deodexed
Zipaligned
no increasing ring for Phone.apk
resolv.conf added for faster gps lock
Much Improved an optimal Init.d scripts
Updated DK Engine for the upcoming kernel!
Tweaks to build.prop

Minor bug's fixed
smoothness to the core

Included sqlite3
Maps.apk to v5.11 with global Navigation (ownhere/Brut.all)
added .salted_hash in sdcard/clockworkmod
