[Q] find and copy a live wallpaper??? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there!
I have a cool live-wallpaper that it was bundled in my Galaxy i9100 by my mobile phone service provider.
I want to locate it and copy it in order to make it the wallpaper for a friend's Galaxy i9300.
I already have root access to both.
My Android is 4.1.2. His is 4.2.x
1) is it possible to locate that live-wallpaper and copy it?
2) where is/are located the file/s?
3) what file/s do I need to copy?
4) where do I need to put it/them?
Thanks in advance,

It should be in your /preload/symlink/system/app

Ah! it was there! thanks!!
.. but ... I found that the LiveWallpaper I want is located inside an .apk file named "BasicLiveWallpapers".
Hence I have more questions:
1) What if my friend's i9300 has already a file with same name and location without that particular wallpaper?? I don't want to overwrite his file!
2) Is it possible to "extract" the wallpaper I want and rename it??
3) If positive answer, then, how??
4) If negative answer, then, how could I bypass the odd fact of two .apk files with same name and location and unequal content??
Thanks in advance,

Create custom firmware: modify old GT-S6102 Galaxy Y Duos firmware

Hi! Sorry if this question may seem too easy for you, but this is a new one for me!
I found an old Galaxy Y Duos and I wander if I can create a custom firmware for it by editing an existing one.
I found one, but it doesn't have one big archive which I can decompress and move/delete/rename/modify apks inside like I could do with some other firmware and afterwards recompress.No, but there are several files called BOOT_S6102DXLC2_REV01.tar.md5(bootloader) , PDA_S6102DXLC2_REV02.tar.md5(PDA) , torino_1205.pit.md5,MODEM_S6102DXLC2_REV01.tar.md5 which have to be manualy flashed with Odin.
I know that these files are designed partitions which will be mounted(? not so sure).
Q: how to decompress this thing and alter an system apk(like calculator) ? Is it possible ?
Q1: if it is possible, how can I alter the firmware so that instead of starting the default launcher at startup, there will pe an apk launched(e.g: ocvIcmFcRecog.apk)?
Q2: what tools do I need ?
Thank you, and any observations are welcomed as I am very unexperienced in this field.

Question File name

Does anyone know the new name for systemui and its location? I want to experiment with a couple mods. It's not located in apps or priv_app foldrrs. Thanks in advance.
