Root How to Change Lockscreen Wallpapers

i was just the other day thinking if i can (or if they do them-self) update and change the lockscreen pics
thanks for this ill have a little look at the zip you posted and have a play with some of my own
thanks

just tried to do this following your tut and using the pics you posted but i think amazion might of changed locations or something
i have found the "framework-res.apk\res\raw-hdpi\" path but there is no "framework-res.apk\res\raw-land-hdpi\"

so for now im stuck with the stock pictures
or maybe its just the launcher im using, no idea what its called but i got it from here http://androidforums.com/kindle-fir...s-guide-rooting-kindle-fire-hd-7-7-2-3-a.html

you are a star thank you
im glad someone out there knows what there doing lol

yeah i saw the second folder too (but only because of the size on the info section) and thats why i was confused as to the locations in your tut
im gonna have a play with different pics and make sure i get the names correct and the locations and stuff of the pics just to have a play lol

EVERYTHING I PUT HERE WAS WRONG
...................................................................

IM A TWAT....
i just looked at your tut and saw you said it is the images in the raw-hdpi location so the images in the "raw" location i should of left alone FFS lol
this is why i stopped flashing xbox360's PMSL

me again lol
right, after a trial and error i have done it (at last)
i have took the liberty of renaming your images and i have uploaded them for you to download and put them on whatever file host you use

WHATS DIFFERENT..
there is no separate portrait/landscape folders as both sets of images go in the same "raw-hdpi" location as the begining of each image has ether a p or an l (depending on portrait/landscape) so for your tut just delete #7 and maybe reword #6 if you feel it needs it, otherwise it is just a case of renaming all of the images and dropping them in the raw-hdpi location

here is the renamed images
space images KFHD.rar

hope that helps in some way

one last question,
is there a good site to get hi-res images or is it just a google search and pick images that look good
i might get some collections together and make a thread for people to download them too use

im confused lol! in post 4 i said that both landscape and portrait are in same folder. The RAW folder. is it different in your framework-res.apk ?

This is awesome! ill link this to the OP!!

Took a look at he pics and im not sure if theyre renamed correctly.

in my RAW folder they look like this:


(portrait)
k2_arhm_p.jpg

(Landscape)
k2_arhm_l.jpg

and the pics you sent me look like this

(portrait)
parhm.jpg

(Landscape)
larhm.jpg

hmm.. am i missing something ?

right in the framework apk there are 2 locations where the images are:

framework-res.apk\res\raw\

framework-res.apk\res\raw-hdpi\

the images in the \res\raw\ folder are named "k2_arhm_p.jpg" & "k2_arhm_l.jpg" (i think the original file names start with xi_ but stupid me played around with the backup i made so i didnt have to connect my KF to my lappy so i have no record of what they were named)

the images in the \res\raw-hdpi\ folder are named "parhm.jpg" & "larhm.jpg"

the first thing i did was to change the images in the \res\raw\ folder from the stock to the space images ("k2_arhm_p.jpg" & "k2_arhm_l.jpg") but this did nothing when put back onto the KF as when it restarted its self the stock images were still showing (turned the screen off and on many times but still only saw the stock images even tho the images were the space ones)
so i put the original images back into that location

my next step was to read your tut and see that you said originally the change the images in the raw/hd-pi/ folder but all of the images in there are simply named "parhm.jpg" & "larhm.jpg" so i renamed the space pics to the same names as in the hd-pi folder (and left the stock images in the /raw/ folder) i put it back on the kindle once it restarted the stock pics were no more and the space images were there in there place

i took the framework apk off of the kindle to check them and the stock images are still in the /raw/ folder and the space images are in the /raw/hd-pi folder

so i have no idea what the images in the /raw/ folder actually do
here is the framework apk that is on my KF now with working space images so if you have time you can check the paths to make sure what ive just put makes sense
framework-res.apk

so as far as i can guess its just the images in the hd-pi folder with the shorter names that need changing and not the ones in the raw with the longer names

now all this is just from what i have found with the new 7.4.1 update, i never tried to do this before so i have no idea how it was all set up and what needed changing
....................................................................................................................................

my next task is to see what happens if i delete all of the images and just drop some random ones in there with random names (but keeping the p & l in front of the names for orientation)
or is there a reason we have to keep the original names???
edit:
ok just tried dropping random named images and it just shows a black screen instead of a pic on the lockscreen so thats not changed lol

awesome just had a quick read of the updated tut and its spot on
(thanks for the credit too)

i just managed to change my lock screen images so i wont even attempt to try (or even know how) to edit an .xml file.............. yet

im slowly compiling a few folders full of images i find from google but im in no rush yet but once i find enough images for each folder and rename all the images and upload them ill make a post so ppl can download and link to your tut for a how too

right im off to admire my lockscreen images
thanks for your help

Great tutorial, OP!

Possibly dumb question: Does the device need to be rooted for this to work?
