Default Where is a Rom's default wallpaper stored?

I want to extract the stock wallpaper that came with a certain rom. Where in the rom would I be able to find it?

Its in framework-res.apk you can extract the apk using 7zip.

pull the framework-res.apk from /system/framework off of the phone.

Once its extracted look in res/drawable-hdpi the name of the file is default_wallpaper.jpg

This rom works great, however when I try to change the Homescreen wallpaper and select a wallpaper from astro file manager, I get FC every time. If I use the built in wallpapers, it works.

WHAT ROM? Maybe you should post in the thread of the ROM you're using, just in case that's part of the issue.

Instead of resurrecting a dead thread. No offense, but come on.
