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,
Putting a JPEG into /DCIM doesn't seem to work. Any other ideas?

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 ...

How do we use an image as wallpaper
OK, I've tried everying. I have a JPEG and can't figure out how to get it set as wallpaper. Using stock TNT and LauncherPro.

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.

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.

Yeah!! Ive been looking forever to remove Wallpaper Gallery w/the two stupid & lonely wallpapers included! Ive browsed everywhere trying to find the file & still never located it! DidU have any luck on this?
I have a lot of pictures saved to my phone that I use only for wallpapers. In the stock gallery they are spread throughout all my other pictures. I have QuickPic that allows me to see them in a folder by themselves. But I want to be able to put all these pictures in the stock wallpaper location. With the Verizon wallpapers that came with the phone. Is there a way to do this? I am rooted and completely stock running the OTA ICS.
download a file explorer which have root acces like Solid Explorer, locate the folder which the walpapers are and move them there
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

hello everybody... i have a big question that maybe (but i hope no) hasn't an answer... For first, i have a Samsung i9300 (sgs3) with cm10.1 rom... i love keep all my wallpapers ( i have lot of... more than 1 gb) online into Google+ Photos (or picasa, depends on the name you want to do at it) ... I have replaced the gallery2.apk from cm10.1 (that isn't google original gallery) with the original one from Android 4.2 ... it works... and it see the online albums... the problem is setting as wallpapers... if i open with gallery the wallpaper that is stored on google+ photos these are the cases i have:
1) if i choose - set as wallpapers - and then select nova as cropper -> unable to load image (seems like gallery doesn't create a temporary copy into storage so Nova is unable to open and crop to my home screen
2) if i choose - set as wallpapers - and then select Gallery as cropper -> it works but the way it crops i don't like... it crops only like a scrollable wallpaper so if i need only the last piece on the right it's impossible to select with the central zone...
how can i resolve this problem? there is something i can do? there is an app that can solve my problem without downloading on the storage card all wallpapers?
same thing for Icons... with Nova Launcher i can't apply icons that are stored on google+ photos... in 4.1.2 i was able to...
