Wallpaper won't change!!! - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a custom wallpaper up, and out of nowhere out changed itself to the stock rainbow bubble wallpaper and won't change at all now. Can someone help me with this? Thanks on advanced

If you're using ap2sd, check to make sure that you don't have the Live Wallpaper you want to use on the SDCard. Live Wallpapers, like Widgets, won't work properly unless they're installed into the phone's memory.
If you're simply trying to install a different picture and it won't take, I recommend that you restart your EVO.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried everything. Its not a live wallpaper, just a regular picture I'm trying to change and can't.

Theme Wallpaper Problem

I have rooted my phone and I am able to switch different themes using GScript. However for some reason all of a sudden now when I switch my themes, everything changes except the wallpaper. Does anyone know why the wallpaper would not change when the theme is changed? These are themes that I know have their own specific wallpapers.
I don't think it works the way you are hoping. Even if there is a custom default wallpaper for the theme, I think you still have to select it manually. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
Thats really weird then because the wallpapers did change automatically for a while.

That's really strange indeed, because I have flashed themes with default wallpapers a LOT (making my own modifications leads me to flashing hundreds of times to see my progress), and I don't think my wallpaper has ever been changed automatically.
If you had the default phone wallpaper set as your wallpaper then sure some theme change that file to reflect their own wallpapers. A lot of themes do not, and include a seperate download for wallpapers.
Generally though Wallpapers can/have to be set manually for all the themes.
Thats the weird thing. I just reflashed my phone with RC33 which ahd the default theme and wallpaper. Then I put on the Lost theme and the wallpaper changed to the wallpaper from the theme. I was able to do this for several themes. I then manually changed the wallpaper and now when I change themes the wallpaper does not change with the theme.

HERO wallpaper/background

Does anyone know where I can find the image files used for the backgrounds in the HERO ROMS?
I have looked all over the place but can't find anything. I'm currently running one of the PURE BLACK HERO ROMS but it only has plain coloured wallpapers installed on it.
Help appreciated.
Sorry for the files I wanted within fatal1tys HERO ROM.

These?
Also: google?
Thank you I've been looking for these.
Can anyone please share how can we use these wallpapers usig full quality and resolution? Each time I try to change the wallpaper it asks me to crop the image and then it has really bad quality. Thank you.
You can resize the cropping box so it uses the whole wallpaper.
Does anyone know -where- on the -ROM- the Wallpaper Gallery is located? I'd like to pull some images from my ROM to use as a lock screen image, since you're arbitrarily not allowed to use resources from the Wallpaper Gallery on the lock screen..

[Q] CM Default Grass Wallpaper

Just wondering if anyone could post up the Default Grass wallpaper that usually comes defaulted on CM. I really like that wallpaper and I cannot find it anywhere. Once the wallpaper is changed it seems to just disappear. Can anyone tell me how/where to find in on my phone or post up a link where I can get it.
Thanks
Not sure which wallpaper that is, but you could try using the app "wallpaper set and save" from the market. It will let you save whatever current wallpaper you have set to your sd card.

that's because it is embedded in the framework-res apk. you can get it out of any stock cm framework by using zip to open/extract it. or i suppose i can give it to you.

Thank You very much. I am not sure how to go about finding the framework-res.apk. I am getting pretty good and finding what I need but I was at a loss with this one.

Long press on a slider, or press menu then add slider and you can choose theme. It doesn't change the theme as soon as you install.

How do you assign the lock homie wsllpaper? I copied the the theme to correct location & naming convention is right but canae see paper? Do you have to save wallpaper to download folder and assign from there or am i losing the plot?

that was just a screenshot of my lockscreen on my phone
theres an option in widget locker settings under look & feel where you can select a wallpaper tick alternative wallpaper and select whatever you want
Is there any way you can make a theme just like this without the lock icon in the middle? Thanks.
Hi
Quick question RE: Widget locker
I've only ever used this biefly on my old Desire.....this was some time back so my memory is a little hazy
i seem to remember that on occasions that it would either flash up the standard HTC lock screen or require me to unlock one then the other.....or something similar to this
Does this lockscreen work without the above issues (or indeed, any issues) on the S2 ?
is there any lag or any other nasties ??
Cheers

Works fine on mine so far. always showing the widgetlocker except after a fresh reboot. slight lag on the slider at times. my only concern was battery life but it doesn't seem to affect much.

[Q] adjust wallpaper size (non-scrolling)

let's see. i hope i can explain this clearly...
i have a static wallpaper i want to use on my evo. currently using king's 2.1 kingdom rom. on most kingdom roms the wallpaper doesnt scroll behind your icons and widgets. it remains still and doesnt scroll side to side as you move from screen to screen. well i have a wallpaper i want to use BUT it makes me crop it and i can only use a small part of it.
i was hoping someone could edit this wallpaper for me (or teach me how, but i dont have photoshop or any editing software on my mac). i want to be able to use the whole thing as my wallpaper. i assume this is sorta easy for a lot of you guys, ive just never really needed to edit a wallpaper before and some direction here would be GREATLY appreciated!
the wallpaper im trying to use is attached.
resized
one is the scrollable version and the other is the one page only unscrollable version, both resized o fit the evo screen

ahhhhh YES!!! thats EXACTLY what i was trying to do! thank you!
If you go into the Android market there's an app called EVO
3D wallpapers. This one is in there and its cropped to the original size. Maybe you can try that first? If no luck maybe you can edit the pic in MS Paint and recrop the pic to 480x800 which is the EVO 4G's native rez. Good luck!
Yes Marty, I built a time machine out of a DeLorean.
can someone resize this to fit the evo 4G screen without scrolling?
