I currently use a HTC HD Mini (Photon) running the SCREAM ROM by Ling Gan. It has a few bugs for most of which there is either a workaround or fix but there is the one problem which has remained unsolved: the default wallpaper on everything BUT the home and lockscreens cannot be changed. It is of a tree in a meadow under a blue sky and when rotated to landscape changes to some smiling chinese lady in the "settings" submenu. Doesn't hamper use much but it is quite annoying.
I have tried a number of solutions some of which resulted in my having to reflash and others did nothing. I post this here because I think it is a CM7 issue. The ROM developers have so far been unable to post a solution within the thread and I am aware that a fix for similar problems on CM9 ROMs exists using ADB to edit framework-res.apk. I felt it was time the problem was tackled by the wider XDA fam. Used google translate to look on the chinese site where the ROM is native to (mobile-kon) but found no help as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i think ur problem lays in the framework-res.apk it contains the look of the rom and the transition effects
you can mod apk with the apkmanager tool for ur computer in the frameworkresapk you should find the images u want to change replace them witch a black picture or something like that
if never done this befoure exept from changing some transition effects and i had a couple of errors among this
the easier way seems to search for the rom on another page cus the images ure stating are not standart in the cm7
SOLVED!

Many thanks!
I started off looking through the "res" folder in framwork-res.apk using Root Explorer to identify the images for the wallpaper. They were
Res/drawable-land-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
And
Res/drawable-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
I then created a copy of framework-res.apk on my SD card and copied it onto my pc. I created new wallpapers to replace the ones I just mentioned, one in portrait, the other in landscape. They were 320x480 and 480x320 respectively. Using 7zip on the pc, I placed them in the corresponding folders (/drawable-mdpi for protrait and /drawable-land-mdpi for landscape).
I copied framework-res.apk back to my sdcard and then fired up terminal emulator to run the following commands
su
sys -rw
busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
sys -rw
You might get error messages from running apps after this but ignore them and reboot. The idea is to replace the framework-res.apk in system/framework with the one you just edited.
After the reboot, you should have your newly created wallpaper showing up in settings in both landscape and portrait modes.
Please hit "thanks" for both jiffer1991 and I if this was helpful. Big ups to jiffer1991for pushing me in the right direction.
Hi,
i did something wrong.
So my Phone didn´t run.
He show me the Bootsceen and the Animation.
But the he will run again and again and again.
Can i handle my Phone via USB so i can restore the framework.resp.apk on my System? Or i have to reinstall Android again?
I have no backup and i don´t want to erase my system settings.
Thanks
Felix

hm u got stuck in a bootloop thats what i meant when i mentioned errors =)
you could make a zip with the old framework res apk or reflash the cm rom
if u dont whipe data/cash ure setting will be safed
read some tutorials how to mod the framework res apk
I have an .zip file on the sd card.
Can i copy it to the Android system somehow?
Felix
P.S. can i zip the framework and remove the ".zip" to ".apk"?
It is most likely that the zip file you have is the ROM image from which you flashed in the first place. Changing the extension to apk is NOT what you want to do. I suggest you create a backup in CWM of you present configuration and after reflashing, you can then do a partial restore of your user data. But its like Jiffer1991 said, read up on CWM, theres an exhaustive guide on xda somewhere.
Thanks,
i installed my modified cm rom without wipe caches data or something.
And now i have my old datas back, with the new Background.
Unfortunately for us holders of the L5ii, Mediatek seldom release any sources. Because of this, it's extremely difficult -if not impossible- to create custom kernels for our devices. This also means we cannot install custom recoveries and installing a custom ROM is almost incredibly difficult and time consuming. I've created a work around that'll give an AOSP feel for the mean time. I've basically been decompiling and modifying the system apks, and it's been doing the job nicely. Let's jump in.

This is still very much a work in progress, as there are a lot of files to edit. Patience is a virtue
Requirements:
LG L5ii(I've only tested it on the E460, so I'm not sure if it'll work on other models. Feel free to try)
Root Access + Superuser
Root-Capable File Manager (I use Root Explorer but any should work)
Optional - Titanium Backup Pro
You have read through the whole thread, including the instructions, before following them.
Disclaimer-
I am not responsible for breaking/damaging/bricking your device. You are changing system files, and any files you change, you are solely responsible for. Proceed with caution.
This is a fairly simple install.
1. Make a full backup of your phone's internal storage. All of it. Just in case something goes wrong.
2. Download and extract the .zip file attached to this thread.
3. Copy the 'system' folder onto your SD card, and then to the root of your phone's storage. Grant root access to your file manager if it is requested. It may also ask to re-mount the partition, click okay if it does.
4. Reboot your phone. When it boots up, it should say something along the lines of "Android is upgrading". Wait for it to boot, and the changes should have been made.
Optional:
I'd also recommend installing the Google Keyboard, and an AOSP-based launcher such as Nova Launcher or Holo Launcher. Convert these to System Apps using Titanium BackUp. You may also wish to delete the 'old' system apps from your phone. At the moment, I've found it is safe to delete "CameraApp3.apk", "Gallerybin.apk" and(They're too big to attach, so I have to wait till I can post external links) "Calculatorbin.apk" as AOSP equivalents are included. If you install the Google Keyboard and alternative launcher and have them set as System Apps, I've found it's also safe to delete "LGEIMEbin.apk" and "LGHome3a.apk". Though, make sure you set them as their respective defaults before hand. This is especially vital for Google Keyboard.
5. Reboot once more, just to be sure that everything sets in. Then, you're done.
What's Currently Changed:
Status Bar and parts of it's 'expanded' state
AOSP Camera+Gallery
AOSP Calculator
'Google Play Edition' boot animation
Sun Beam/Phase Beam live wallpapers
What's Currently Being Done:
Other parts of the status bar + 'expanded' state
System dialogues
What's Planned to be Changed:
Settings
Messaging
Dialer + Contacts
AOSP Browser
Clock
Lock Screen

Anything else that I'm capable of changing/AOSPifying

lg has released sources for our firmware. doesn't it contain kernel sources?

Hey man, thanks for sharing, I like the AOSP look way more than LG look....
I also managed to make the AOSP lockscreen look like this: (Im still fighting to remove the ugly emergency button)
Ask me if you want the files or the instructions!

can you make a transparent status bar??

The easiest way I found for trans statusbar is Xposed and Gravitybox. It has the option to adjust transparency.
Very nice, indeed it work on the E450.
How ever i have a question.
What is the LG stock "apk" that is in charge of the status bar and notification tray. I ask since i use it stock (without your changed) on my 2nd device and i have tinted status bar for a kitkat effect.
It work fine but when i pull down the notification tray, it is black (almost Holo theme) but the bar it self...that is semi-transparent as kitkat.
I could fix it if i found the statusbar "apk" or the one that is in charge of it to add the black collor on tinted statusbar options.
Sorry to ask such a non related question. But as you did change the stock, i was hoping you could share a light = )

Thanks for the reply
I could not find the systemui.apk on the list that the module in question (tinted statusbar) show. I found odd since it show all the others from system.
But thanks, on that module there is no bootloop danger since it dont change the xml and .apk . It kind of detect it to "reskin" after the boot
Thanks to clarify the most close to find is if i make the module to detect the systemui.apk and search the xml in question, it realy help

the real name of it is LGsytemui.apk or do you have the T-mobile version of the phone?

No, it is actualy Brasilian carrier.
But it is possible they do the same as T-mobile as all the logos of boot screen is theyr.
Thanks for the pack, it looks great. But I have a problem. I can't manage to restore the status bar. I replaced my LGSystemUI.apk with a wrong one, and now a can't restore my status bar. Do you have any advice?
Er..but the original 'system' folder at the root of our device contains the build.prop. So when I try copying and pasting the modified 'system' folder it prompts me to either overwrite it or skip it. I'm scared that overwriting might brick my phone while rebooting.
please tell me if I'm wrong.:fingers-crossed:

Hi, bro.
i downloaded the system.zip file, extracted it and replaced the downloaded file with my original system folder in the root directory using Root Browser from playstore.
once i've rebooted the phone, nothing was happened.
i decided to do it again, then immediatly the lge launche was stopping multiple times, then i rebooted my phone and the dead android logo was showing up, that's how my phone died.
now i will restore and try again idk what's wrong
can u explain me
