Try using an application like Astro to browse the internals of your phone and find the files, or plug it in and use your operating systems search functions to look for the filename. Good luck.

Whenever I go to change the wallpaper in Launcher Pro, I get only only option, those darn colored lights. How can I add to this list? Also, even though I have downloaded Live Wallpapers, installed them, and have been notified that the installation was successful, I do not see it as an option anywhere. Any suggestions?
Some of the Live Wallpapers might not work, I've had the same issue. But, many of them do work. I personally like the grass one as it's a low graphics footprint.
As for wallpaper, most of the built-in ones are just embedded in their respective apks. you could just create your own 1024x600 images, drop them in /DCIM and you should be able to select them. Or, the Market has downloadable wallpapers, I believe.
Thanks! I could not determine just where to put the wallpaper files. Thanks. Will also keep trying with the Live Wallpaper. I was concerned it was due to a hardware problem.
Still no luck finding a Live Wallpaper that works. Also, the wallpaper I add to the DCIM folder.... what format should it be? jpeg? And do I just put them in the DCIM folder? There are two other folders there, but none of them show up when I try to change the wallpaper in Launcher Pro.
im using launcher pro and running aquarium live donate works great tons of features too

Hi,
I haven't found a specific way to do this, but I did find that if I install ADW, then the ADW Ubuntu theme, both from Market, then, uninstall ADW, I could still use the wallpapers from ADW Ubuntu theme in Launcherpro!
I was hoping I could do that with the other ADW themes, but the ADW Ubuntu theme was the only one that worked ...

Hit the main menu, choose Wallpaper then choose Gallery. Browse to your picture, select it, drag out the box to cover the entire picture (or most at least) and click save.
Your .jpg picture is now your wallpaper.
I'm having this same issue. I saved a wallpaper and moved it to the root of the /DIM folder. I hit Settings --> Wallpaper --> Wallpaper gallery. There's still only the two stock images in there.
Any help?

Images you add to /DCIM folder will NEVER show up under Wallpapers or Wallpaper gallery. Images listed in Wallpapers are part of the app.
Your images are only available when you select wallpaper from the menu, then choose Gallery. This will load your gallery of photos which you can choose as a wallpaper.

I can't find that option on this ROM. When I select wallpaper from the menu, the only two options I have are "Live Wallpapers" and "Wallpaper Gallery".
Try opening your gallery, find one of the images you want as your wallpaper and long press it, press the "more" at the bottom of the screen and select "Set as" and see if Wallpaper is one of your choices...
The only place I could find the pic that I downloaded is within my "Photos" app and it only gives me the option to share or delete it.
Looks like something is missing in that ROM if you don't have the option to use an image as a wallpaper.
I know this is kind of the opposite of this threads topic, but..
How would I go about extracting the 2 wallpapers from within launcherpro's wallpaper gallery? I actually only want the darker, 'carbon fiber' of the 2 in my phone so I still have it even tho I no longer use that particular launcher.
Thanks in advance!

Some ROMs (mostly HoneyComb ones, eg.: GtabCombOver) don't come with any Live Wallpapers.
If the ROM does come with Live Wallpapers, then they will reside in .apk file in the /system/app/ directory.
Third party Live Wallpapers, if they are installed, will be found inside /data/app/. They will be found on the SD card only if they've been moved there--either as part of their install or explicitly by the user.
That's helpful. Thanks.
Hi,
I have just flashed my SGS2 this evening and so far i am loving the look and performance, but i have one problem, when i go into settings / Display / Screen Display / Lock screen / Wallpaper / and then go into Wallpaper Gallery there are only the stock wallpapers there, from what i read on the Lite'ning forum they have added lockscreen wallpapers but i can not figure out how to apply them.
I notice that if you set home wallpaper it gives you the Lite'ning Wallpaper option which contains all the wallpapers but no such option in the lockscreen settings.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
can anyone help me??
ive been searching google for the past 2 hours and cant find the answer....
When setting wallpapers in stock roms you are being asked if you want to use that pic for lockscreen too, don't know if custom roms use that option.
I would recommend "live wallpaper changer" (or something like this) it's a really great app..
I like to have my wallpaper switched randomly every 5 minutes to another of my 500 pics collection.
also you can double tap the backround to change the actual wallpaper.
When i was on stock rom i had to change each wallpaper, it never asked if i wanted to use as lock wallpaper aswell....
It would be easy to change the lockscreen wallpaper if i knew where they were in my phone system, but i cant seem to find them....
Thanks for your replied

oh you can change the lockscreen in the display options, its pretty hidden but you will find it there.
Yea thats in display / screen display / lockscreen
But there are no lite'ning custom wallpapers eather in wallpaper gallery or gallery
I dont understand it lol because if i set home background it gives me a lite'ning wallpaper option and there they are lol

After some more searching i have come across the lite'ning lockscreen wallpaper, it is in the framework-res.apk but i found it on google images and just saved it to my gallery, i am asuming that his wallpaper should be auto applied when flashed to the device but didnt for me :/

Download the litening wallpapers.apk from the official thread..put it on your phones sdcard..download astro file manager and locate the .apk file. I think if you hold the file it will pop up with a menu and somewhere you can explore the .apk. Then just save the pictures you want from it and use them as your lockscreen
you know i must be bleeding blind, i didnt see the wallpaper apk download link.
I cant believe i have been searching all this time and it was infront of my face.
Thanks for all the help.
Glad to be of help

Saving Pictures to lock screen Wallpaper Gallery
Thanks guys - just what I was looking for. I have saved the lightening pics to my photo gallery so I have been able to locate them and load my new lock screen pic - awesome. However, where would I have to save the files so they are visible in my wallpaper gallery, that way I wont have to look at them each time I goto my photos...
Thanks in advance...
That i dont know, you will have to do a search on net or wait for one of the mega xda dev's to reply

Hi, I've tried to download the wallpapers from the thread page but the file is not there, I've tried from the market but installtion always fail, anybody can tell me why?
I've the litening 1.5 installed, nothing else.
Hello all!
I was using the livewallpaper application, and wanted to select different stock wallpapers that came with the Prime, as well as the new ones that came with ICS, on different pages. When I went to select my wallpapers in the Live Wallpaper (LW) app, it let me browse the file manager or the gallery for photos I want. The gallery only contains photos I have taken, or have downloaded. So, I went through the file manager. After going through just about every folder that would hold pictures, I came up with nothing.
Is it possible at all to see and find where the stock wallpapers are? If so, can one find both live and static wallpapers? Or just the static ones?
One annoyance of the this phone is that when I try to set a JPG to be a homescreen wallpaper, the aspect ratio that it allows you to crop to is for exactly one screen. Not a big deal if you use Touchwiz since the background doesn't scroll. But for most other launchers (I use Nova), it looks retarded having black space to the left and right of the central image.
Anyone find a workaround for this?
Thanks.
Yes, you need to use the stock ICS Gallery app to do it.
I just figured this out as I am using Trebuchet, there's a thread regarding replacing apps with their stock android counterparts here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728308
Note that you don't have to replace the TouchWiz Gallery app, you can have both (I do atm since that thread said replacing it broke the camera preview).
Just open the wallpaper you want in the ICS Gallery app and set as wallpaper within it so you can properly crop it for scrolling.

Sorry if I'm being dense, but when I try to install the Gallery2.apk, it says something about replacing a system app. How did you get it to have dual install?
I just copied Gallery2.apk into the system\app folder and installed it - just hit yes. It won't replace the TouchWiz Gallery app. You get that 'replacing system app" thing with anything you install to system/app it seems... got that when I installed Trebuchet as well, and had both it and TouchWiz accessible till I deleted SCLauncher2 or whatever it's called.

That's what I did, and it installed the new gallery. But when I hit the ICS gallery icon in the app drawer, it just launches the Samsung gallery...although when I hit set as, crop picture using ICS gallery, it works fine. I still can't just launch the ICS gallery though.

Wallpaper Wizardrii lets you crop the image anyway you want, it's in the Play Store.

Go into Application Manager -> All
and scroll down to both Gallery apps. You may need to clear Launch By Default on them both so you can pick which to use again.
I've got one of those Chinese X310e phones (similar to Zopo ZP100) that came loaded with a default wallpaper (see attached image showing part of it) and I want to transfer this wallpaper to another android ICS phone.
This default wallpaper is built into the ROM and not in the wallpaper gallery that came with the phone. If I change the default wallpaper the only way I know of reverting to the default paper is by doing a factory reset. I've googled trying to find (using Root Explorer) where this default wallpaper is hidden in the ROM but can't find it. Googling does not help as it seems that the default wallpaper is in a different file location for different phones.
Does anyone know where I can download it, where it is hidden in my ROM or does anybody have it in their wallpaper gallery?
Help appreciated...

Its not an ICS wallpaper . That is the wallpaper from Android 1.5 (Cupcake). Here you go.
Thanks for your reply Theonew but the picture your link directed to is only the central portion of the wallpaper I am looking for. On my ICS if I scroll left of right I get an extended view of your linked picture showing some bigger rocks.
For those who want the full Android lake wallpaper in hi-res, a link is provided in this thread
