Hi,

how do i get access to the wallpaper directory. I would like to replace on my tablet the original wallpapers with custom ones. I do not want to crop or use the Gallery for wallpapers all the time.

My tablet is rooted and i have read somewhere that the directory should for the wallpaper should be

/Data/Data/Com.android.settings/Files

but somehow i cannot access. Every time i click data nothing happens.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] span_01:
Just place your wallpapers on the sdcard and you can use them. I think the stock wallpapers are in the launcher apk. Some custom ROMs and DocRambone have taken the wallpapers out for optimization.

THANK YOU

for asking this question! I have been looking and searching for a way to find my wallpaper (with no success until I found your post). Your path worked for me.

My steps:

I used Solid Explorer as the file manager

Then using the toolbar on the right-hand side of the screen, I went to Jump > Device > System root.

I located the data folder and clicked on it. I was then prompted by Superuser for admin permissions.

I then proceeded to data/data/com.android.settings/files where I found a file called "wallpaper" (no file extension).

At this point I copied that file to my Pictures folder and added ".jpg" to the end of the file name.

Suddenly, there was that elusive, original file, of the photo I had been seeking for so long!

I had taken a trip out to the "sticks" to a cabin that my family owns. I had taken lots of pictures, but through the course of several events all of the pictures (save this one) had been completely lost. As a result this photo became very important and iconic to me. Thank you Internet, and thank you indianx for posting the question. I now have my picture back and secured.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pandinus:
Download the file. put your phone in bootloader by pressing the option key while connecting your phone on the PC. On the right side you must see the blue light.

Then run the batch file.

It works!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] rcummings100:
You have to put the phone into fastboot mode, and then from the computer just run the command

fastboot boot <name of recovery image>

Specific handholding instructions:

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286885

Follow my instructions here up until step 7. On step 7, type this command instead:

fastboot boot <name of recovery image>

Your phone will now boot into CWM

You can ignore the rest of my instructions there - they're only for rooting the phone.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] rcummings100:
Bin4ry,

Does the backup function in this recovery work fully? Can I use it to backup my entire phone, and then if I have a problem flashing a new semc and then cyanogen(mod)7, simply restore the backup I created to get back to stock?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Normally yes, but you always have to flash the CM kernel and vice versa the stock Kernel via fastboot before the restored ROM can boot.

Problem is that kernel partition is not accessable via recovery, so it cannot be backuped or restored.

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rcummings100:
Is there a way to backup the stock kernel I'm on now, outside of recovery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
The only way to get the kernel is using SEUS/PC Companion. You can see how on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13091752&postcount=2​

You may also need Bin4ry Flashtool, you can get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746​

After decrypting the blob_fs files, you kernel will be in the file which beggins with "kernel_".

Note that you can only do this when you are using the stock ROM. Using a custom ROM disabled the SEUS/PC Companion usage.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rcummings100:
Awesome, that's exactly what I want to do.

I just want the option to be able to revert back to stock if the need arises. For example, in last week's CM7 update the hardware keyboard wasn't mapped properly, which is a deal killer for me. So I'd have restored my stock setup until it was fixed.

So this way I can re-flash my original kernel, then restore my nandroid backup, and away I go :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wookiee82:
I just got my Xperia pro with android 2.3.3 (from fido) rooted and unlocked.

I can't get the update to 2.3.4 so i want to flash it with flashtool, the kernel is the same for both version or not?! How can i backup it, in my seus i don't get the option to make a backup...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
You can update to the latest version of the stock firmware(4.0.2.A.0.42) downloading the corresponding file from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18678726&postcount=3​

Be sure to select the correct version (MK16a or MK16i) depending on your phone's model. Selecting the wrong one will result on losing 3G/HSDPA. For Italy, it should be MK16i.

To backup your applications & information, you can use Titanium Backup or RerWare MyBackup. Search bot on the Android Market. If you want to make a backup of your current MTDs, you can use nandroid:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459830​

That way you can reflash your MTDs if something goes wrong. Note that nandroid is intended to be used when you are developing custom roms, not when upgrading to another stock rom version.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Hey,will this work on live with walkman?? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
Based on my limited experience, I think the image will not fully work. When we didn't had a working recovery for Xperia Pro MK16a, I booted with the Xperia Neo recovery. The screen was allways blank, but ADB worked, and it was usefull for things such as rooting. Maybe if you try with this ans other recoveyr images, you can find one which at least works with ADB. But I doubt that you get one with full functions.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Hmmm....sounds fair to me..:/

thanks for the reply! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
So, this way we can only once get into Recovery and after a reboot we will not have Recovery anymore? Is there a way to have permanent ClockworkMod Recovery in ARC? I can only get permanent Recovery in my phone by flashing DooM Kernel but I wanted to have a Recovery with Stock Kernel...:) So, is it possible and how?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
There is a way to run CWM on stock ROM. You can get it here: [Daily Update]SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8.

Note that running CWM or xRecovery as a chargemon hijack is not the recommended way, as it depends on some ROM binaries.

CWM needs some binaries, like busybox and sh. When CWM is running from inside the kernel image(custom kernel), these binaries are taken from the kernel image, so no mater what happend to your /system partition, CWM will allways be able to start. But, when running CWM from stock ROM, it takes these files from the system partition. So, if your update fails and delete some of these files(or format your system partition), both the ROM & CWM will not be able to start, and you will have to start CWM with Fastboot.

Also, why don't you give a try to the CM for Arc? I think it includes a kernel with CWM.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] bemymonkey:
Any word on a permanent recovery for the MK16?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
You have 3 alternatives to get CWM available anytime:

1. Use CM7.2 from FreeXperia, which uses a custom kernel. It comes prerooted, and CWM is integrated in the kernel. The ROM has nice features, but it's still in development. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315904

2. Use CM9 from FreeXperia, which, as the other, comes prerooted and has CWM builtin. It's on early development, but seems to be interesting. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445819

3. If you are using the SE Stock ROM, there's a copy of the Stock Kernel image which comes prerooted & with CWM integrated. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357026

Note that the last option is the only working one if you are using the Stock ROM, as it requires some kernel patches the CM kernels do not have.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bemymonkey:
Sounds good, I was planning on using CM7 anyway... so rebooting into CWM Recovery directly from the running ROM is supported with that?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
Once you flash the FXP Kernel using fastboot, you will be able to enter the CWM based recovery using the volume down button while the phone is booting.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ztrindberg:
One little stupid question. I cant get this working. When run file the commandwindow stays at waiting for device. It never reboot.

And then phone goes out of fastboot and only starts to charge.

And I dont get blue led, only green.....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
If you have green LED you are in the wrong mode!

green = flashmode

blue = fastboot

Please refer to the SE unlocking website and unlock phone first, in the tutorial they also write which key on which phone needs to be pressed for the fastboot mode ;)

Since you dont know which key needs to be pressed you need to follow the instructions and unlock first the bootloader itself.

Regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ztrindberg:
Well thank you so much for your answer.

I read very much on that site before I tried.......and it says clearly to hold in menu-key. So that what I done, but still green. But I guess I must have done someting new with my phone....because if I instead hold in back-key then I get blue light....so in some strange way my keymappings been switched. Dont ask me how hehe But when phone is started then its normal.

Anyway, thank you for reply!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tayshun12:
Hi all,

I just bought a bell atrix 4g and I have a quick question about the bootloader unlock using firmware 2.3.4

I have rooted my phone and installed rom manager. CWM has installed successfully but I have no access to it after restart. I realized that I have to unlock the boot loader.

I came to one problem. I went to the pudding post and tried to follow the instructions but at the point where it says:

RSDLite/Windows Drivers/Sbf_flash:

Prepare: If you're in windows land you will need to re-install drivers. Thanks for the link.

RSDLite 5.5 link

x64 Windows drivers

sbf_flash - the linux/mac sbf flasher

Guide for beginners provided by: goo.gl/vfUXc

Unlock:

Unlocker only SBFs - These small 1mb SBF files will get your phone ready to fasboot oem unlock. They are the files most people should use.

ATT ONLY - Unlocker for 1.8.3 and 4.5.91 ATT firmwares

Orange/Bell/Telestra/Latin America/International users ONLY - Download IHOP

I want to make sure that the IHOP download will work for 2.3.4 and is not for a lower version.

Also, on the instructions in the 'beginners guide', do I actually just skip and install fastboot or do I start at the beginning, Install the IHOP .sbf file and then install fastboot? essentially following the instructions from the beginning.

I know its not as easy as my acer liquid but I really enjoy modding and learning about the insides of my device :p .

Thank you ,

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I can't recall if root explorer has the option to set the home folder (phone is off, can't see), but it's easy enough, no matter what your home folder is. at the top, if there is a "parent" folder, you will see an unnamed folder, called "..."

that is your place to go "one folder up"

example:

/ is your main folder that contains all other data and folders in your phone.

/system is your system folder.

if you see something like this:

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd

then you are browsing files on your sd card.

let's say you have these folders on your sd card as you browse using root explore:

()...

()adobe

()ebooks

()Titanium

click on the ()... to go up to the next folder. when you reach the main root, you'll see something like this (not exact):

()cache

()data

()mnt

()sys

()system

I can't make it any simpler to find than that. good luck...

It is a self extracting rar in non english (not sure the language), make sure to set your extract destination as mine wanted to install it in the Firefox directory.

Anyways...

If you need to install the drivers for your phone to recognize when you hold back and plug it in they are in the drivers folder just run the ggsetup-2.2.0.10.

If you already have those drivers ignore that then, and open the X10FlashTool file (I right clicked and ran as adminitrator) Click the Flash button and follow the steps. (It will say connect phone while holding back at this point DO NOT do it earlier than when it tells you or it will fail.)

Next it will run through some text about how it is flashing your phone etc, when it says to enable debugging blah blah blah you're done.

I unplugged my phone turned it on, got the SE screen, the android screen and was back on 2.3.2. It said "update failed" and I laughed because I clearly tried to stop it.

Last info, in the thread I started when I was in a panic too someone said we need to delete mobile care using titanium backup, I had just removed the updater portion which is not enough. Hopefully you get it working, good luck!
