Hello everybody!
I have what I consider to be a good question, well to some of you it may not be so good... Anyway here goes...
I would like to know where the stock wallpapers that come with the phone are stored? There's reasons for my asking this, one of them being I find I cannot use any image but those in the wallpaper gallery on the lockscreen, another is I would like to replace some of the images with those of my own. I have googled this but all I find are sites that want to offer me links to download the wallpapers, which I don't want to do because I have them already....
im trying to find out same thing
somebody said they are stored in system >>>> APP >>>> but I cannot find them in here
Why is it so hard to get someone to answer this very simple question??????????????????????????

Have gotten their hands on dxtop. What obstacles and new challenges might it posses?
this is very interesting, good find.
I never heard of this before. This will allow me to build a digital clock widget to give my fadetoblue theme more of a TouchFlo3d look. Thanks!
Thats sick works well but if you have a theme installed it wont read the launcher from the theme so the stuff in the Luncher.apk from the theme wont show up clock,google search bar and stuff like that. Great idea and if themes can be installed with this its going to be bad a$$.
just bought it
Lovin it!
One of the best apps so far!
if you download the apk couldnt you just replace and theme the elements in that and upload it? or is that not something that could be done? i understand that you couldnt redistibute it, but for your personal use no? i opened it up and it looks similar to the launcher...just a thought

That was my understanding. In fact, didn't you do this to the demo version randumaccess?

well it would be easier if the developer got together with Jesusfreke and make it into a big update and incorporated the app as the home screen for a small donation type thing? I would pay again for a update like that then the sky is the limit with themes for this.
yeah i updated the elements like in the normal launcher by the way and resigned the whole app. people would have to know how to put the elements in the app themselves after purchase... not for amateurs. would like to see someone pull off some way to do it easily though.
so randum, does that mean you already have a theme for it?

that means i can do it, and i am working on one as soon as we figure out how to do it without pirating the app, it will be released.
Randum, you the man. I don't think baron would mind. Just ask him.

Thats a damn good idea about the update with him & JF. Have they met!? Someone needs to introduce them! Haha

And as far as pirating the app, thats gonna be hard. Its not the actual update.zip your modding, its his apk which could prove to be troublesome. Maybe there's a way to get everyone together who has purchased it & they can share the themed versions??? Just an idea
How do you sign the .apk after you edit it doesn't work with the .apk resign tool.

well i signed the demo with no problem, but i am having a problem with the paid version... cant seem to sign it correctly
there should be a meta.inf file in it that you need to remove to resign it so it takes the test keys. Why not just send baron a pm and talk to him? One idea would be to give him the themes to release through his website.
I asked him about whats been talked about here this is what he said.
Quote:
My first implementation of themes will be to look on the sdcard for the assets in the same directory structure and filename that they are found in the dxtop.apk.
Something like this: /sdcard/dxtop/theme/res/drawable/clock_dial.png
or
Something like this: /sdcard/dxtop/theme/res/drawable-land/tray_handle_normal.png
Then i asked him this,i hope it could be done.

O.k i got you so this would solve the problem i love this app bro very cutting edge,hey i have another Q: off topic if you can make your app look for those folders could a app to install themes be created using this format you have come up with or maybe even have it install a whole update.zip?.
If this can be done my whole world will change.

I would love it if we could change themes without having reflash everytime.
He said he going to try to make that happen but he needs to work on it more.
As I'm a bit old fashioned guy I'd prefer more lines of contacts per screen instead of useless contact pictures I've modified contacts.apk a bit. As you can see from the screenshots we've now more lines per page and only small frame for pictures (for those who can't live without).
The mod works on stock LPQ, de-odexed not necessary.
Download: Contacts by Toscha42 v0.91

Will try this out. Any chance of modding the Favorites too ? And putting the contacts tab on phone.apk ?
I'll look into 'Favorites' and also the groups list, but putting contacts onto phone would be behind my capabilities.
Cheers
Toscha
Seems to be a bit more complicated as expected. I even haven't yet found where the favorites view is generated at all ...
Cheers
Toscha
Fantastic. I Like it very much.
Possibile a version Without pictures?
Also can U give the source?
Thanks
Without picture should be possible, though haven't tried yet. But I wonder whether swiping left and right (for calling and SMS) will still work w/o picture.
For the sources: It's all done within dimens.xml and styles.xml. Or are you asking to upload them, wouldn't be a problem either?
Cheers
Toscha
ok, i have test and not run to OMEGA v5
maybe just for stock...
i have lost "Phone"
ty cwm and backup
Sorry mate, I only use stock ROMs. So I'm not too surprised it didn't work on Omega v5. Far too many differences ...
Cheers
Toscha
no problem bro, backup
but your mod it's very good

hi mate,
ive been working on the exact same thing on my Galaxy S3 international with JB.. then ive got stuck on how to remove the thumbnails at the favorites list view, and started searching and found your thread here...
sooo, did you ever manage to find where the favorites list is generated? i would really like to know
thanks in advance.
Na, I'm sorry, never found that out. But to be fair, as I don't use favorites too often I simply stopped searching ...

but if i find a solution ill let you know, though i currently doubt i will find it.....
take care

Hey guys, i'm working on the same thing.
I am trying to put that favorites tab on hell and put the phonebook on replace.
If someone would like to help, lets go:
First i decompressed my actual contacts.apk to edit.
Then i decompressed the contacts.apk of an other rom that have already the contacts on the favorites place just like we want.
So i will upload the decompressed Contacts.apk so u can help me analize the file and find out where in the code is that, so we can change the tabs.
Resume: The file attached is an Contacts.apk that already have the contacts list instead of favorites.
edit: Forget to tell i did already try to just put the contacts.apk of other rom on my actual rom, but the phone icon just gone, the i had to put the original contacts.apk from the rom i'm using to work. But i guess you all already know that we cant just put the apk inside our rom.

finally found a way to remove favorites tab from samsung dialer
Hi, I've been searching for this, but I haven't been able to find anything on it. But, can someone please post ALL the stock Galaxy Nexus wallpapers and live wallpapers? I've been able to find bits and pieces here and there, but I haven't found any complete, original set. So, could someone please post this? I'd be very grateful.
[EDIT] - I'm posting the stock live wallpapers I found from hours upon hours of searching. I found them over a period of time, so I don't remember who I got them from. But, I am thankful for the hard-working people that extracted them so users like myself can use them.
For 'Phase Beam', however, the credit for that goes to ÜBER™.
I am still in search for the 'Nexus' and 'Water' live wallpapers. If anybody has these, please post them!
Thanks!
Can somebody PLEASE post these?
Why not just download a ROM and pull them out of it?
Well, because I'm not exactly the most tech savvy when it comes to phones and I don't know how to do that... I've seen people posting the .APKs for many other live wallpapers, so I thought it'd be simple for someone just to post the .APKs of the stock live wallpapers.
Can anybody help?
Here you go install like a normal apk.

Thank you, kind sir! Now, the only ones I'm missing are the 'Nexus' and 'Water' live wallpapers. I've been looking for these ones for days, but I haven't been able to find them. Can somebody post those, please?

Hypothetically... If one were to install a stock LiveWallpaper.apk from a stock Galaxy Nexus, would that delete all the live wallpapers currently on the phone? Or would it just add the additional, missing live wallpapers to the Live Wallpaper Gallery?
[EDIT] - I uploaded all the live wallpapers I found. Check the first post.
Hey all. I'm not sure if this question has an obvious answer, but...how on earth do you know what images to change when creating a theme? It took me a while to realize that the dialpad was in the contacts apk, and I'm constantly searching for which image goes with the corresponding image on the phone. Is there an easy way to look at, say, the messaging app, and know which images within the apk I need to edit? It can't be simple trial and error, or I'm sure many of you would've gone crazy creating the themes you've brought here. Please, if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Think again. Trial and error all the way. There is no this image goes here type guide.
