Is there any app or root tweak that will let me change the background for S-View Cover?

I'm sure there are images I can swap out in a root folder, but I have no idea which one. . . .

Should be under settings... changes the color not background though.

Yeah, I saw that. But I'm looking specifically for a tweak or image location that will allow me to put anything I want in it. Like a family photo, custom photo, etc.

I had the G2 for a few days and was able to do that with built in settings, but this one is different.

hello !
yes you can !



Extract the framework-res.apk of your custom rom, open with winrar v5, change or replace with your mainbg_pattern_mainarea.png on directory : res/drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi .
On note 3, copy on your sdcard, and with root explorer replace this on system/Framework (reboot is automatic when you change the .apk) enjoy!

Think I'm on to something!

I think I might have found a way. I deodexed a couple of files and decompiled them. Found some code that sets the Alpha to 10% on the background image of the s_view Cover. Going to try setting alpha to transparent. Once I figure out how re odex them I'll try it out and post my results. Probably gonna have a snow day tomorrow so I'll be working on it!
