Hi guys,
I have lost an image,
I use a normal image as a wallpaper. One day I made a backup of my rom and flashed another. As you understand I wiped my sd card. Finally I didn't liked the new rom and restored my previous. Now I see that image as my wallpaper but it does not appear to be in my sd card. It is only set as my wallpaper. If I will change wallpaper I will lose this image once and forever.
I tryed to find that image again but with no result.
Is there any way to take this image from the system? For example via a file explorer.
Thank you.
Get root explorer (if your not rooted then you cant do this) goto system/wallpaper and it keeps that image there to hold until changed. It is different on some phones but with mine its system/wallpaper. Copy that image into your sd if you want and then your saved!!!

I am rooted, but I cannot find anything in /system
Help me someone!!
I am using Nexus One, running CyanogenMod 7.1
Cant find anything in system??? Try find where...lets say...email if its attached to the rom (there when you got the phone) . Try find that (search for it in root explorer by pressing menu then search) copy down the location of the first part (eg. Example/app then go into example folder and find wallpaper folder) that might help you find it

Did you back up? Is it possible to find it from the backup?
I can't find anything.
Its okay, guys, it does't matter, thank you for your interest.
I want to make Asphalt 8: Airborne think I have an s4, so I can unlock higher graphic settings, is it safe? How do I do it?
I'm running CyanogenMod with Android 4.2.2
My friend did that (Galaxy Y) to update one of his game and it is safe. Just create a backup file of your original build.prop first before editing.

I have a GT-P5100
Apparently, I can't find any way to edit it
I also need others to tell me if it's safe or not

As long as you have away of backing up and restoring the original build.prop then it is safe. The easiest way is with a nandroid back up or you can make a flashable zip with the original build.prop. If these are things that you have never ever heard of...then maybe you shouldn't mess with the build.prop.
OK, you will need to root your device. You can modify the build.prop using ROM Toolbox Lite from the playstore. That is probably the easiest way to do it or if you have a rooted file explorer you can also navigate to the build.prop and then open it in a text editor on your android device and modify it there (you will have to change the permissions to RW and when you are done change them back to RO). If you copy it to your PC make sure you use a compatible text editor, if you use Word, you will be sad After pushing the edited version back to your device's system folder, make sure to change the permissions because they will be all messed up. Reboot your device so the new changes get implemented.
Hi,
I have successfully rooted Huawei MediaPad M1 8.0 S8-301U following this guideline and removed bloatwares from System/App folder. Now I want to delete a font and use another one (with the same name). So when I'm in system/fonts folder, I can successfully paste something new here, but I cannot remove/rename anything existing. Can you please suggest how I can make this work?
I'm using ES Explorer for this. Should I use something else?
Regards
EC

I recently created a nice boot animation for the Honor 8, but I don't have an Honor 8. In fact, I have a Samsung, so I'm unable to test it since the formats are different. I just need someone with an Honor 8(1080x1920 display) who can test this for me and let me know if it plays properly(ie. the timing is right, etc.) before I post it.
To test YOU MUST HAVE ROOT, a custom recovery like TWRP installed & some experience with flashing zips and backing up your device in case you need to restore. Much appreciated. Thank you!

Oh I wish I could help mate. I'm keeping my phone as stock for now but I'm sure that I will root before long.
When I do I will help with all the testing that you need.
I'm sure you will soon have a line of people ready to test.
Thanks for putting the effort into our phone.
Just one question.
Why the Honor 8 if you don't own one ?.

Thank you! Haha! Not sure. Was just looking on XDA for new devices that didn't seem to have a lot of customization going for them yet and this one seemed good.

Good choice mate.
This is gonna be some phone in the future.
They seam to have made it to play with.
From what I have read it's gonna be very hard to brick.
I will definitely help you in the future.
At the mo I'm needing good reasons to start rooting this phone.
I used to get a phone out the box and root straight away but not with this one (so far)
I do have other phones to play with though ( nexus 5)

Yeah you really only need a device with the same screen resolution to test this. I sent you the link in a PM. Thank you!
Ok. Does anyone know why you can't change the boot animation on the Honor 8 and Honor 7? It seems that even with root and TWRP it's still preventing this rather simple change. I had someone test my animation on their device and it flashes fine, but it doesn't change the animation for them, even when replacing the bootanimation.zip file with the proper permissions manually. I make animations all the time, so it should work just fine, but what could it be that's not allowing the change? Any ideas? :/
UPDATE: The person testing for me just tried deleting his bootanimation.zip completely and rebooting and it still shows the stock boot animation on boot, so there must be a master copy that it keeps copying from somewhere that's writing over my animation on boot. Any help? Ideas? :/

The boot animation on the Honor 8 is located in the following directories depending on the device:
/version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media
/version/special_cust/FRD-L09/hw/usa/media
/version/special_cust/FRD-L14/hw/usa/media
If you remove the bootanimation.zip located there it seems to default again to /system/media/
So if you're making a twrp script, you may want to try having it remove the bootanimation.zip located in /version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media

I wonder if I can just have it replace the animation in both locations, making a zip for each(L04, L09, L14, etc.) If I could identify which variants have which FRD folder, then maybe I could just list the files as such.

You certainly could do that.
Mine already using customs bootani like a month, all i do is replacing bootanimation file from system/media only.

Just added a poll to the top of this thread to see what folder the different variants have.

So I wonder if I need to replace both + the /system/media/ one with mine? I've never known a device that was so complicated to change the boot animation. :/

It really isn't that complicated. Huawei ignored using /system/media and instead made their own directory (aka special_cust) which contains bootanimations. Each device has a product name/number (aka FRD-L04, FRD-L14, FRD-L09, etc). The folders in there correspond with the product name/number of each region specific device. So, I have a FRD-L04, so my folder is /version/special_cust/FRD-L04/
My suggestion however was to simply remove the FRD-L## folder inside /special_cust/, then just apply your bootanimation to /system/media. This way it'll work on any device.

The guy who was testing for me actually had an Honor 7, but said he tried replacing my animation with the Huawei folder one and ended up in a bootloop. His folders were a little different though. I think his was in the "etc" folder, but it kind of had me wondering if those folders maybe need to be there. Maybe I just need to replace the one in special_ cust. If I made you one that just replaces the L04 one could you maybe test it for me?

I replaced my bootanimation.zip in special_cust with a Pixel Bootanimation and it worked fine.

Still need someone to test it before I upload it for everyone. I already made the file. I can PM you the link if you don't mind doing it. I just want to make sure that it works and that the animation runs smoothly.
