how to edit what is said under "software version" - Android

I'm still very new to cooking ROMS but I notice that many chefs have changed the software version to say whatever they want i.e "my custom rom 1" how can I do this?
Thanks,
Pympster

in the system folder in the file "build.proc"

Thank's I will have a look!

i think everyone knows what i mean

is this something that can only be modified while the rom is being created? I just wondered if you could make it show something simply by mounting the file system with read/write and editing the file after flashing the rom to a phone.

I think you can go into terminal and edit the build.prop manually through there. Otherwise you can just go into the update.zip and edit the build.prop there.

[HOW TO] CRT-Effect only

This is just the plain CRT effect. No custom roms, no pre-made files or anything. (You need root)
I've searched for this on XDA, Google, other forums etc. but I couldn't find it.
It always showed up ROMs including this feature, not the actual feature itself
DO A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING ANY FILES!
Also, you need root
1. Pull framework-res.apk from the /system/framework/ folder via ADB (Alternate way below*)
2. Decompile framework-res.apk with APKTool/APK Manager (Whatever you prefer..)
3. Navigate to /res/values/ and open the bools.xml file with Notepad++ (Notepad works too )
4. Search for "config_animateScreenLights" and change the "true" to "false".
5. Save, and compile the file. Open the fresh-compiled file and copy resources.arsc to the original apk. (Overwrite the existing one)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Transfer the framework-res.apk file back to your phone, and then switch it with the original one
You must reboot to make it work!
*If you don't know how to push/pull files via adb, you can use Root Explorer and copy it to the /sdcard/ folder, then transfer it to your PC.
If you switch it back with root explorer, programs will start to force close. Just reboot and you'll be fine

Would you like to explain step 5 a bit further? I'm a bit confused. I'm using apk manager and it asks me a bunch of things and you don't tell me where to overwrite the arsc-file, etc.

Ah, so sorry.
Open the original framework-res with WinRar. And do the same with the modified. In there you'll see the resources.arsc file
If you don't know how to use APK Manager, use google.
Not trying to be rude, I'm just in a little hurry
I'll ask a mod later if he can move on of my posts up, and then I can perhaps create a more user friendly guide

I read your thread, and know what you posted.
What I'm saying is that if someone makes the anim for example KF3, it would only take a few seconds to upload so other people could use, while diy CRT anim takes at least 5 mins even if you know what you're doing.

Hmm...I don't have a res/values folder (just res, there is no values). There is also no Books.xml anywhere in the apk. I'm on stock rooted KE7...Is the value somewhere else on my version? Am I doing something wrong?

And you decompiled it right? I know i you were to just open the apk it would have a res but not res/values.
I followed the instructions ... and used APK Manager, I complied, signed, and before i quit it asked me to delete a file...resources.arsc
do i have to do that?
also, i noticed the APK Manager made signed apk of less size as compared to original file
original apk file size = 8.05 mb
complied, signed apk = 5.16 mb
is that normal?

[Q]Renaming CWM Backup Folders

Has anyone tried this? None of the ones I renamed will allow me to restore because it says there is an MD5 mismatch. Is it because I renamed the folders?

Dang. Thanks.
Cause I like to do backups of different ROMS so I can just flash the backups instead of having to do the install zips and the current naming standard doesn't make it easy to remember which one is what.
I create a folder with the ROM name and move the back up into it.

[zip] Empty Flashable Zip Template

Some people aren't sure how to create a flashable zip. So here is a template zip file.
Instructions add your APK files to the appropriate directory within the zip.
ie framework-res.apk would go in system/framework/
SystemUI.apk would go in system/app/
Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip would go in system/customize/resource/
*You may need to create directories within the zip*
lol nice idea i have never thought about making one for people I forget people dont know how
This could be very useful for people who are new to theming and from development and who are still learning how to sign zips.
Nice work and good idea.

Agreed. This is pretty sweet and actually an idea I was going to ask someone for once (I had no idea how to do these).
And MrSmith, now I can try to get all the boot anims updated with flashables also so that everyone will have different options. Thanks!!

this is just a flashible zip only you will need to add your files to the right folders to make it theme
is there a list of the folders? for example what folders should i make to add ringtones to the ones that are already on my phone? how about notifications, wallpapers, etc.?

The three things you've listed are items that can be freely transferred via USB. This is more for theme elements and applications.
However to answer your question, stock ringtones and notifications are in /system/media/audio/ringtones and /system/media/audio/notifications . The stock wallpapers are stored in /system/customize/resource.

Mr. Smith,
So if I wanted to make a flashable zip of say the market apk or root explorer that I can keep on the root of my SD card so if for some reason the rom I flash is missing gapps. Would I just make a folder called data with a subfolder called app and then it would get installed in data app ? Then drop the apk within the app folder and resign using android signer ?
I just had that happen while trying to flash the anthrax kernel , for some reason I lost my market apk and since it was a fresh flash I had no access to a file explorer. So ended up googling the commands to adb push the market apk to system. It worked, but made me think if I had my own flashable market zip I could have just flashed that and been up and running easier .

You got it. As long as you get the structure down right, flashing the zip will drop the files in the proper directory on your phone/device.
What about file permissions and owner? How do we set that in the zip (eg. if I need to flash a file to /system that requires permissions 644, owner 0/0.

Android handles that. However you can edit the script : META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to make whatever changes you need. So you could add a line: run_program("/sbin/busybox", "chmod", "644", "xxx_file");

Crashing after modifying fusion.apk

Ok, I have been trying for a while now to change the HTC lock rings and there is a really cool thread on here by mohit1234: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262990, anyway it has a heap of lock rings. Originally I could not put them on as he made them for a different phone model. So then I uploaded my fusion.apk and sent it to him. He made me custom lock rings with both the Earth and the Captain America Shield. So everytime i try to flash it to my phone nothing happens. So I made a copy of the .zip and extracted the fusion.apk and went to copy to the /system/apps directory with both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite". But whenever I try to copy it the phone either crashes and restarts or says copy succesful and nothing happens. This also happens when I copy a droidsansfallback.ttf (modded with the emoji icons). But the font works when it says successful. Does anyone know what is happening? Mohit1234 also suggested to push using adb, would this help at all?

Total Crashing
Ok, I flashed a zip designed for my phone with the kernel you suggested, and my phone crashed twice (again) when copying the fusion.apk and the droidsansfallback.ttf doesn't even work when I copy it any more. Also when I plug it into my PC and choose "mount as hard disk" my phone crashes and reboots. So I am thinking I should just start again. I think I am going to flash hasoon200's "stock, rooted, deodexed" ROM.
I have tried to install this thing like 4 times, it is in my /system/lib/modules but I can't get it working. I have tried copying droidsansfllback.ttf modded with emoji into the /systom/fonts folder but when I restart it is reverted back to the old one. And seeing as I am new to this I can't decipher the instructions on how to install this.

I know, i installed it in the recovery and it opened up etc. BUT my system is still write protected when I reboot or startup my phone it reverts to its original /system state. which brings us back to how to install the kernel. In short Aroma doesn't work until I remove write protection. I may be a noob, but I know that this simply wont work.

So everytime i try to flash it to my phone nothing happens. So I made a copy of the .zip and extracted the fusion.apk and went to copy to the /system/apps directory with both "ES File Explorer" and "Root Browser Lite".

Post here the file he made for you or the updater-script, I take a look at it. Maybe the mount point is wrong for DX.

I know, i installed it in the recovery and it opened up etc. BUT my system is still write protected when I reboot or startup my phone it reverts to its original /system state. which brings us back to how to install the kernel. In short Aroma doesn't work until I remove write protection. I may be a noob, but I know that this simply wont work.

In recovery, mount system first before you start the Aroma File Manager.

How do I do such thing?? What does mount system even mean? Sorry for being such a noob, I'm very new to all of this

Aroma will work. The write protection is disabled in recovery.

Ok, aroma does work (I tried it with an emoji modded droidsansfallback.ttf) so that means that the fusion.apk is stuffed up. I have downloaded a desire x system dump and I am going to ask the guy to try and do it to that fusion.apk, thanks for the help everyone

Check your PM... I post a modded zip for you.
It's nothing wrong with the zip file that you posted. It flashed ok on my ROM
Your problem I guess is due to the stock ROM that you have where you do not have busybox installed.
So I mod the updater-script so it can be installed without busy box.
