Pulling wallpaper from themes - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to pull wallpapers from the blue bionic theme for cm7. I've tried running a search with root explorer, but haven't been able to find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Find the zip open it up and poke around till you find it, its usually under a media folder somewhere

If it's an apk it can also be opened with a zip program/app and explored.

I found the apk, thanks for the info.

HtcLockScreen.apk

Can anyone post a file so I can download this. I accidentally deleted this and now i really need it. Thanks.
you can easily download any of the roms that have sense and use a zip program to open the packaged rom and grab the HtcLockScreen.apk
Or just google it. Its the first thing that comes up.

I believe that u have to re-sign the Apk .... if u search the forums or Google it u may find an answer.... also if u search u might find an updated miui music apk.
That is all
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!
Indeed...The apk needs to be signed before it's installed. Download zipsigner 2 from the market. Put the .apk on your phone, sign it, and install it with your file manager.
I just get astro file manager and go to whatever folder it saved to

No problem.....I'll give it a shot.
One other thing......Did you uninstall your old Miui Music app before you installed this one, or did you install over the top of it? Sometimes it makes a difference.

[Q] [ROM][09/10/11] Bulletproof MIUI :: 1.9.9 :: EXT4/VIRTUOUS OC DAEMON

I want to try this ROM, but in the past when installing MIUI, I have lost superuser.
The instructions are:
1.9.9: Mediafire - Multiupload
md5: BFB94E2DE623B0D27DA6B8A142FFE207
Superuser Permissions need to be enabled via the Superuser application.
Open the app, then hit 'menu', then settings, and enable root permissions. (Superuser is found in Tools folder by default).
But when I open the superuser app either prior or after installing, I find no option to "enable root permissions". Could someone please walk me through this.
Thank you.
Nevermind. I found the answer in another forum. The tools folder is actually a folder on the homescreen which contains the superuser icon

I tried it out for like a week or two but then went back to Cyanogenmod. I've been using it for I'd say more than 2 months and I haven't had the urge to change it to something else. Which frankly surprises me since I tend to get bored with stuff like that. I'm one of those people that change their wallpaper to a completely different one every week.

Soft key color change?

I'm curious if anyone has used Rom Toolbox, and knows if it can change the color of the three soft key colors (you know, back, home, task mgr)? Or do you know how to do this WITHOUT running a ROM. I'm not a big fan of ROMs. I know how to manually replace the boot animation, but figured if ROM Toolbox can do both of these, then I will use it. Either my search skills are very crappy (which I know to be fact, lol) or nobody has ever really posted about this. Any help would be appreciated. These are last two things I need to finish my customizing. Thanks.
EDIT: CRAP! Can a mod move this to the Q&A? That's where I was, and I somehow ended up in the General section, lol. Thanks.
Edit the systemui.apk file, in the res/drawable-hdpi folder all the icons are there.
Custom ROM not needed, just root since it's a system file.

More difficult than thought. I extracted SystemUI.apk from "system/app", replaced the default images with the ones I want to use, zipped it back up, renamed it from SystemUI.zip to SystemUI.apk, and then when I attempted to paste it back into system/app, it wouldn't let me since the folder is read only. I can't seem to change the permissions of "/system/app" so that I can paste this in there. I had a feeling this try wouldn't work, as I got the instructions from a Galaxy Nexus instruction which stated that it would really only work if a deodexed ROM was installed, but figured i'd give it a shot anyway.
I also tried using ROM ToolBox. Created my theme, but it says the theme is incompatible when I try to install it (followed the directions step by step for creating the theme). Looks like I may have to contact the developer of RTB since it would appear that the Nexus 7 isn't supported yet.
"We have compared the images and apps with your current system and have determined that this theme will not work for your current device setup."
Any other thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? Just don't really have a need for a full fledged ROM. Just wanna change 3 little software buttons, lol.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that I also tried Zip Themer, but like RTB, it doesn't support Nexus 7 yet. I'll be sure to inform both developers
Use root explorer, put the modded apk on your SD then using the phone copy it from SD to /system/app with root explorer and click the mount r/w button at top , or use adb t push it to the device

If your rom is odexed (which the stock.rom is), then you will not be able.to achieve what you want...
You will need to deodex your rom before theme'ing

[Q] Where is background located?

Hello,
I'm a new Nexus 4 user, and I really want to know where is the settings background wallpaper located?
On S3 on 4.1.2 also on CM10 roms, the background is located in nodpi folder. In Nexus I cant find it, I've tried to download cm10.1 rom, but I cant locate it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
wallpapers are part of an apk, not in a folder

And apk's contain, wait for it, folders! Gasp!
Check the folders inside your launcher apk, OP.
he was asking which folder he can find the wallpapers in, to which I replied it's in an apk not in a nodpi folder like his S3; am i missing something? I know that apk are basically executable zip file that contain folders - that still doesn't make it a "folder" per se.
They are in launcher.apk /res/drawable-sw600dp-nodpi .. Really isn't hard to search each of them yourself either until you find PNG or the word "wallpaper"

@op. The image your looking for is background-holo-dark in framework-res.apk, drawable-nodpi folder.
