I think you don't need the cached background one.

*edit* Try this. Just replace the black wallpaper in the package with whatever one you want... just keep the file name the same.

Can anyone explain further on how to change the default cooked in 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.

actually there are 4 background files. one portrait file looks like it is a wvga. another portrait file looks about vga (im assuming this is used as the choose a city weather background or something like that). and the other 2 are for the landscape background but each is only half. i dont have the files with me (im on my phone), but when i get home lster tonight if someone hasnt posted the files ill post them for you.

Would that be it? I got landscape working fine, portrait is being dumb.

I cannot find a single one of these manila files in my OEM folder. I am trying to change the background on the Black Portrait manila.

Edit: Ok I did find the 70083a29_manila but that was the only one.

Edit: 70083a29_manila isnt in my oem folder, I found out that it was cfc_gui that was creating this manila file. I dont know if it is gonna work but im getting ready to flash a new rom with that new file in there and see what happens.

Which one of these are for landscape? There must be two because i tried to have different backgrounds for portrait and landscape and changed the one that looked to be probably landscape, which was 29cff4fe_manila, but it came up short and was 1/4 portrait background and the rest the landscape background that i wanted. So which two are for landscape?

6b5182a8_manila is the portrait background
29cff4fe_manila is the left side of the landscape background
058acf31_manila is the right side of the landscape background
29cff4fe_manila I'm not completely sure but I think it is the background for "select city" on the weather tab or something like that.

Anyone know how to change the default rhodium background if you're using the showaco alltabsbg mod? TIA!
