General :: Android 4.0.3 - Where Homescreen Wallpaper Stored On ICS
Mar 4, 2012
As stated in the title I would like to know where exactly the default homescreen wallpaper image is stored on the ICS file system?
I am using version 4.0.3
Say for example I have a friend with a cool background wallpaper and that I want a copy of it. Where exactly would I look in the android file system on his phone to get a copy of it?
Note: I do not want to download an app which manages my wallpaper images I want to find out how it works on ICS so that I can manage it myself.
I googled a bit and found the tutorial below at the end of this email. It would appear that (on Gingerbread) wallpaper is managed by framework-res.apk
When I looked however at the different png files in "framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi" on my ICS installation I nothing what so ever that looks like my current home screen.
The wallpaper is stored under the system/media
On ICS I have 4 folders at that level
alarms
notifications
ringtones
ui
On ICS there are no images in any of these folders. The above was most likely true for Gingerbread but not ICS.
Is wallpaper managed by the launcher or by ICS itself?

I'm sure this is answered somewhere but I can't find it. Can I set a different wallpaper for each homescreen in launcher pro? How?

Under gallery, I've tried setting wallpaper from images stored. I'm experiencing two problems:
1) When using the green border to select the part of the image I'd like, it never stretches to the full size of the image. It maxes out at about half the size of any image.
2) Once cropped after clicking set as wallpaper, the wallpaper shows way too zoomed in and I lose at least half the image I cropped.

I just got the eris a couple weeks ago, and then the trackball died so verizon sent me a new one. Now on the new phone when I try to change my homescreen wallpaper, it always wants to zoom in on the image. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it will let me use the full width, but not the full length while looking at the phone with the buttons on the bottom. So I have an image that is 320x480, and it wants to crop it down to 200x200 for example. It zooms in and makes it a square, instead of a rectangle like the screen is. I just want the wallpaper to be what it looks like when the image first opens from the photo album app. But as soon as I try to make it a wallpaper it wants to zoom in and make the photo look dumb.

Sorry If someone already mentioned this but on my Eris, you can choose a wallpaper for the home screen and one for the lock screen? On my Incredible, the wallpaper applies to both the lock screen and the home screen? In settings, it only lets me choose Home Wallpaper. Is this feature gone or am I missing something?

I just received a new Droid X yesterday from VZW and immediately upgraded it to official 2.2. The thing seems slower and more jerky than my stock incredible which is pretty damn smooth. If I scroll through the homescreens with a static (non live) wallpaper, it's almost like the walpaper stutters and jumps forward and back a fraction of an inch as it moves across the screen. Haven't really noticed it when using a live wallpaper. Anyone else see this? Really frustrating. Dissapointingly I might have to go back to the DINC if this continues. I don't notice this at all when using Launcher Pro.

Anyone know where the moments wallpaper gallery images are stored? I can't find em on the SDCard. I'm also trying to add my own custom images that I've put on the card and every time I set them as my wallpaper they seem soooo zoomed in? I've tried resizing them from 1600 to like 480xwhatever and I still get the same results.

Does using "Live Wallpaper" use battery life more than fixed wallpaper. If so is the drain anything significant?

I'm using apex launcher, and I'm trying to match my apex wallpaper to the lockscreen wallpaper. But when I go to the lockscreen wallpaper in settings, it only allows me to choose a few OEM wallpapers. How can I get the apex wallpaper onto the lock screen?This is a minor annoyance, but is there a way I can theme the top of my phone where it tells me the time/cell signal to look like stock ICS? The touchwiz icons are really big and don't look that great, while taking up a lot of space.

I downloaded pictures off the internet and tried to set them as my background, and it says "This picture has been set as wallpaper" But its just the default wallpaper. So then I tried the Bar code scanner wallpapers and Android themes.com and same thing!

I incorrectly saved some username/password information while using the android browser version # 2.2 that's built-in to the brilliant corners version 1.3.1 rom. I already have the root explorer application installed on my viewsonic gtablet, I know there must be a way to go in and edit that information, I just don't know how to do it. I know you delete ALL of the saved information, but I really don't want to do that.

After the android market tool make the first connection between the smartphone and the market web site for start download app it ask to Google username and password account. Just for paranoia I would to know if it store these data in a safe mode since another troian app could attempt to "stole" these data and trasmit somewhere in background. What do you think about, do you trust the market tool?

I use Chrome browser on my Android and I used to be able to go into my bookmarks and add a bookmark to my home screen well now I don't see that option anymore. I'm using the s3 and haven't tried it since my phone updated to 4.3 so I'm wondering did they remove it with that update or with a Chrome update or just change how it's done?

I can't add a shortcut to a Phone app (it's the app where you enter dial numbers, call someone). Need it on my home screen, but there wasn't it when flashed the rom, in drawer too. And no options which can add it. I'm using CM 10.

1. Is it possible to replace homescreen with app launcher? I mean when you press home button, homescreen shows up, is it possible to force phone to open app drawer instead of homescreen when you press home button?
2. Or/and maybe there is a launcher which shows all your apps not alphabetically but by date and also with ability to arrange the apps however you want?

So I have a folder on my home screen, in which I've saved a bunch of navigation shortcuts to use with Google Navigation. I want to know if there is any way to backup this folder to my SD card so that I may restore it after switching over to a new ROM.

Just purchased album washer from winamp (which grabs album art from grace note), I was wondering where the artwork goes and how can I remove it when desired?
I deleted the winamp database but the artwork is still there.
I have also used the stock HTC app to get album art (from gracenote again) and can't get rid of that artwork
why after getting the artwork it shows on other music apps but not others?
Do different apps look in different data bases?

This question might be specific to HTC phones, but I'm not sure. I have various bookmarks for sites with decent webapps that I'd like to have as icons on my homescreen. What I would like is for their icons to be specific to the site (like iOS or BlackBerry), but instead what happens is I get the ugly red HTC Sense bookmark icon for each of them. Any way to get the site-specific icons to appear (or if it's even possible)?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 a couple of days ago and since then i've tried to get my e-mail settings sorted out. I have been searching the internet for a long time without finding a solution.
My problem is that i have 4 e-mail accounts and 3 of them i need constantly. My phone can show my e-mails on a nice widget on the homescreen using the default "e-mail" labeled widget3 . However i cant choose which e-mail account i want it to show. Now all i have is 4 times the same nice widget showing me the same e-mail account's 3 newest posts.
I have tried several other e-mail clients but all of them have the same problem. I really like the default client which is bundled on the phone, but it won't do me any good if i cant see all my accounts.

I have about 150 apps installed, but only 30 of them are currently on the homescreen.
Is there a way to add the remaining 120 at once to the homescreens?
If I would have to do it manually (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) it would take at least an hour to do (adding one shortcut is extremely slow, as my tab needs about 10 seconds to display the list of apps alone when creating a shortcut).I don't have to do it manually for each app.
