Hello,
i'm a Newbie with Android and i have an urgent question:
I've been searching some time on google for the correct location on the phone to save downloaded Wallpapers to. I want to choose them via the XPERIA Wallpapers in the Options-Personalization-Menu like the ones of the Stock-WP.
I have downloaded several Wallpapers in 2160x1920 (the native resolution for scrollable Wallpapers such as the Stock-Wallpapers) but I can't select them in the same way like the Stock-Wallpapers.
Please help - thanks in advance!
Greetings,

After saving the image
You can set as wallpaper from the album app or if you want a different output you can use image to wallpaper
There isnt any special placement needed unless it doesnt show in your album app
But how to do in opossite direction: I set own wallpaper form gallery and I'd like to export it. Is it possible?

does anyone know how do i change my lock screen photo to one of the default wallpapers??
As far as I know you can't - quite annoying.
I had to reset the whole theme to default then re-configure it to my liking. Once you have done this remember to save it before making any changes.
Can you not do it by going to >Settings>Personalize>Lock screen wallpaper>Select

That only gives you the option of selecting another from your downloads and camera albums. The default wallpapers are unavailable.

Ok. Now that i am completely confused as to what you want to do, can I suggest that you look at
http://htcsource.com/index.php?opti...=1&PHPSESSID=ac33b78594e2afe40e49e2fb360c2b8b
The default wallpapers are available there and you could download them to your phone and use them.
Apologies if this is not what you were asking for.
Kalairn is saying you get the options to use your album photos and HTC wallpapers when you choose a wallpaper.
You only get the option to use album photos and NOT the HTC wallpapers when you select an image for the lock screen (even though by default they use the HTC wallpapers).
Your post should get around the issue because you can put the HTC wallpapers in your album folder.
s1977 you are a star!!! i guess I'll have to copy them images to the phone
Yep, you definitely can copy the images to your sd card. From there on its easy
HTH
Those are the wallpapers, not the lockscreens. The lockscreens is available in the etc/lockscreen folder. But you can't save or copy them from there (usually) so I uploaded them: http://fluesoppen.com/android/lockscreens/
Enjoy.
Is there any way to select the lock screen image without any compression?
When selecting the lock screen (and the standard wallpaper if it's from an album) I get a preview of the image on the screen with a green rectangle that can be resized. Even selecting the full image, the colours/compression seem to be worse than the original image.
This still occurs when I have copied the HTC lock screen images to the SD card, so it shouldn't be a problem with the images themselves, just a problem of how to get them onto the lock screen at full quality!
Any ideas or solutions?
Hi all, wondering if anybody could help me!!
Google has turned up nothing so far so im gonna ask away!!
I am currently using nobodyatall's cm7 2.0 on my x10mini and am wondering where and how I can save pictures that I want as wallpapers.
Basically I don't want wallpapers to show up in my regular picture gallery, I want them only to show in the wallpaper gallery when i go to change wallpapers.
Is there a folder on the SD card or the internal memory, or is there a way I can open an APK in winrar or whatever and drop the pictures in there?
Regards
A
There are two ways that I can think of for you to do this. First, just create a folder in your SD card labeled wallpapers (or whatever you want). Then place all your wallpapers there.
Easy way: Use QuickPics. It has an option to hide a folder from the gallery. Just long press on the folder and you'll find the option.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder
Still easy (just not automated):create an empty file in your wallpaper folder with filename ".nomedia" without the quotes. This will prevent the gallery from scanning that folder. This also works to prevent music files from showing in the player.
To change your wallpaper, if using QuickPic, just press your menu button > show hidden > enter the folder and click the picture > use as wallpaper. If you don't want to use QuickPic, use a file manager to go the wallpaper folder then select your picture from there.
Great sugestions, especially the hideden folder option, however what I'm looking for (I wasn't quite sure how to explain this properly before!!) is to be able to add images directly to the menu of wallpapers like when you long press the screen and it gives you options to change the wallpaper I get a list of options, cyanogen wallpapers, gallery, live wallpapers, wallpaper gallery and wallpapers.
I would like to be able to add wallpapers directly to one of these menus, so I'm looking for the folder in which they are all kept in. I found one in one of the internal apk's, but i'm not sure if I can just inject them into the apk and also whether i need to include thumbnail size png's as the ones included with cyanogen seem to have these to.
Thanks for a great comprehensive reply. If all fails, I'll be looking at the hidden folder option!!
Cheers!
That's a bit harder. Sounds like it shouldn't be but it actually is since you'll be modding an apk. Here are a couple of links to get you started if you're really interested in doing this:

Thanks man, some great info, the first post really hits the nail on the head, I didn't think of checking the other forums (duh me, it's all android!!)!!
So it looks like I will have to take out the launcher.apk and recompile it after editing the xml file that contains the details of the names of the wallpapers. I'm guessing this is some sort of framework xml for the purposes of creating the horizontal table that you can swipe across to view the previews of the pictures.
This makes sense I guess, loading a table reather than using up memory to load a gallery style viewer that indexes the pictures seems much more streamlined seeing that is only for the use of wallpapers, however I do like the wallpaper gallery style that the xml framewrok brings.
I guess I'm going take the newer(and some older) wallpapers from other cm roms and rename them over some of the exisitng files. This way I shouldn't have to delve too deeply!!!
Thanks again for the help and info leftAlone, you are a star!!!
Where on the android filesystem is the lockscreen wallpaper stored?
Is it different from version to version of the Android?
Or maybe it is launcher specific?
I couldn't find any mentioned of it in the SDK.
I'm not just looking for the way of setting the lock screen WP via menu, which has mandatory cropping in new TW anyways.

On launcher2.apk under /system/app/. Copy it to the PC and use 7zip to extract launcher2. I don't have my personal PC, else I would have given you the exact folder name.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Interesting, so whenever use changes lock wallpaper it get's repackaged in to that APK?
I've examined the above mentioned APK and although it contains a bunch of wallpaper images none of them is a lock screen one. Which makes sense, why the APK will have current lock screen repackaged in to it. Just doesn't make sense.
So the currently set lockscreen wallpaper must be saved either on the file system or in the launcher DB.
Any ideas where it is?

This is killing me. I've spent a couple hours now looking for the frickin' location of my lockscreen wallpaper, and was super excited to find this, the only post on the internets with a path to the file rather than a path to the default system wallpapers or some other answer to a question similar to the one asked (where's my current lockscreen wallpaper stored?), but this path isn't on my galaxy s2.
Anyone have any idea where it might be? It HAS to be somewhere, right? I mean, it's being loaded when I turn on the phone, so even though the original that I used to set it is gone, it has to be cached somewhere.

As the title says, anyone knows how to add wallpapers into a Sony ROM?
You know when you tap'n'hold desktop, then choose wallpapers> sony wallpapers. Those are default in-built wallpapers. Is there any way to add some of my own?
I've searched google, and found nothing except for galaxy s2. That's why I'm asking for help here.
I've tried searching in framework-res.apk, but nothing except default_wallpaper.jpg.
bump
Using any root explorer go to system>wallpaper>default wallpaper>(paste your new wallpaper )here
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
