Try this one:
If you want to change your wallpaper, press the menu button when you are on the home screen. Tap 'change wallpaper' and select a picture.

I have no stock rom anymore, so I could not confirm if it works. At least it sounds plausible.

lolz, u noob

LOL at second post
Maybe if look in framework res folder and find the background image, you can replace it with your own (remember to keep the same file name and resolution). Sounds kinda difficult though.

Excuse me, but if I choose the wallpaper is a voice: "select motives", but if I press this option, this message appears: "no application is able to perform this action." Do you know why?

CRT-off animation?

Sorry for my english...
I'm looking for CRT(OFF and, if it's possible also ON) animation for my GSII, I've got XXKI4 ROM. I only found CRT-OFF with battery percentage MOD, I only want CRT animation.
Where I can find it?
Thanks
use JKay deluxe settings. just search the forum.
Install JKAY Theme and you will have it.
It will change something else in my phone? I don't want ANY change on my theme...
In that page there is:
CRT Effect ON / OFF
The effect is still not working right, but you can make it look good by screen capture a white image. You can use the Quick Test Menu (*#7353#), select '8. TSP Dot Mode' and take a screenshot to capture a white image.
This 'fix' works until you take a screenshot of something not completely white!

its fully customizable, you can pretty much make it look whatever you like.
who knows, maybe youll even find some new stuff that you'll wanna use (i did )
Ok, I will try it tomorrow... But there's a method to remove this MOD?
well im not sure about uninstalling the theme (never tried it) but you can always make a nand backup. you should do one anyway before flashing a new theme, just in case...

Sorry, I don't understand. JKay Deluxe provides a restore file or android? However I made a android backup.
Sorry, I made a mistake, I don't have a XXKI4 ROM but a XWKK2!

Here you go...a freshly made KK2 framework-res.apk with CRT Off.
Just use root explorer to copy over your existing one found in system/framework folder and job done.
I would recommend keeping a copy of your original framework-res.apk if you want to revert back to the normal screen off
Enjoy

This Mode is only for Gingerbread ROM and is no more maintained !
Same Mode is Availble in my ROM NeroICS with every thing working
GPS crash fix and network toggle is fixed now with 15 toggles...​
I have read a lot about users comments to know how to make Power widgets for statusbar and how to customize them.
And finally got solution over it ! Its similar to the statusbar from CyanogenMod BUT this one is more cool in look !!
You can add remove and arrange the power widgets in statusbar as you want and also apply settings without reboot ! This is for Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i) Users with Android 2.3.4 OS as i have tested it on my SK17i
It also worked on Xperia Mini and Live (Tested by users...)
Active users can try at their own risk ! And please report if it works....
NOTE : I am not responsible if you damage your device by my work ! AND DON'T HESITATE TO HIT THANKS BUTTON IF YOU LIKE MY WORK AS I HAVE MODED IT FOR SK17i !!
Instruction for use :
Firstly extract "Xperia Nero v1 (Power Widgets).zip" anywhere you want and follow these method.
Method 1 :
1] Install QuickPanelSettings.apk
2] And Just Copy " Xperia Nero v1.zip " directly to SD CARD and flash it using CMW
And you are done !
Method 2 :
1] Install QuickPanelSettings.apk
2] Extract " Xperia Nero v1.zip " copy SystemUI.apk from "app" folder and framework-res.apk from "framework" folder of extracted files.
3] Put them anywhere in phone memory before you replace original files using adb or Root Explorer etc and change permission to
R W -
R - -
R - -
4] Make backup of original SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and then copy the apk that you put in phone memory just now.And reboot
And you are done !

Yes you can use it with UOT kitchen and I can say it would be better to re modify these apk file as you want instead of porting look of old SystemUI.apk, as it takes more efforts than redesigning
thanks for reply. I have tried using this in UOT Kitchen but when i flash it back on to my phone the status bar widgets are gone. ANy ideas?

This might be due to 2 reasons first is you might have added header or carrier lable that will cause you to loose power widgets
or the layout,choose mdpi layout and make sure tou haven't added any non compatible widget icons like blue icon pack...
rest it shouldn't happen as i have tested them on uot before i answer you
method 2 does not require unlocked bootloader right? just rooted phone?
update - my UOT Kitchen'ed version of framework and systemui works if i perform a factory reset and then apply. but then i lose all my stuff, so i have restored my backup. I have tried wiping dalvik cache and then flashing zip but that applies my theme but without toggles :-s I'm so confused

No method 2 needs only rooted phone to use root explorer or similar software to copy apk files
These software requires root access...no need of unlocked bootloader..

This shouldn't happen,though you try following steps
firstly extract my apk files from my work (systemui and framewor-res both)
Upload them to uot and modify as you want
download and extract the modified uot files (systemui and framework-res both) and replace your origianl apk files from phone memory by giving properpermission as mention above in method 2
Reboot and it should work ...
and be sure you don't mess with header and carrier label through uot ! Cause i have restricted them in my work for stability.

On my live I've just used systemUI.apk and it works perfectly.
I just don't like the status bar color... I would like to change it to the original black, but i don't know how..
If someone can change this for me, I would be very grateful
On this mod, for what is the framework, what it will do?

Can you explain what you meant by horrible graphics ?
Did it gave you any glitches or else ? cause it worked on Mini as told by one user...
And if you want to revert back to old look then just replace SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk of old rom with proper perimissions that i mentioned above and you will get your old look back... (I hope you had made a backup of these files or Nandroid backup before you used my work )
I noticed a small problem in Quick panel
Pressing mobile data, which indicates the light on or off is not quenched. He turns on and off mobile data, but the indicator light remains lit.

No, when it comes to modding and theming your Phone not everything can be done with a simple app.
You can change or modify your defaultthemes.apk in system/app
