Buzz Launcher: how to extract wallpaper files

[cdl]

Many of you will have heard of Buzz Launcher:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buzzpia.aqua.launcher&hl=en

What's unique about this launcher is that users can save and share, by uploading them here:

https://www.homepackbuzz.com/homepack/list

Their home screens, ie not just a theme but the entire layout of wallpaper, icons, widgets, etc.

I wanted to share with you what I learnt about how the app stores data on the phone's memory. This is because I couldn't find a way to find the wallpaper files and apply them using another launcher.

The easiest way I found is to download a homepack, apply it, then do a backup (menu -> buzz settings --> backup) which will be stored as a.bbak file in this folder in the phone's internal SD:

buzz_launcher/backup

In fact, it's simply a .zip file. You can change the extension to .zip, and easily extract the wallpaper, which is typically called wallpaper.png

Also, when you download a homepack, the data is typically stored in:
Android/Data/com.buzzpia.aqua.launcher/files/files.zip

but I haven't managed to extract wallpapers from there.

Hope this helps!
