Re: Which manila file controls background?

first you need to download a manila editor. go to xda-developers.com and in the diamond forum there are some stickies. i personally use chainfires manila editor, its called cfc_gui i believe (there are 2 different ones in the stickies). download it and instal it to the desktop of your pc. then copy the manila files you want to edit from your phone to your pc (or download calcu's kitchen and he has all the manila files in the oem folders). now open the manila editor and and a browse folder promt will come up (or hit file/select folder), chose the folder where your manila files are stored. it will decompress the files. now hit tools/export and chose a folder to export all the manila files. now go to that folder, open up the files you want edit (i use photoshop to edit them in). after you are done editing, save the file. now open up the manila editor, select the manila file you edited (it is still the old file). now hit "replace with..." and navigate to the folder with the new manila file you edited (the .png file). and it will recompress the file and it will be done. now take the manila file (not the .png file) and transfer it to your /windows folder (make sure you turn off tf3d before you do) and overwrite the previous file (total commander works best for this). or if you cook your own rom then just replace the file in the oem folder you use.
