Hi everybody, I and my girlfriend both using Optimus Black mobiles; I'm on Cyanogenmod7 and she is on stock (rooted) rom for ease of her use. Now, her birthday is coming this February, so along with regular stuffs i've bought for her, i've decided to gift her a rom. ( ). The basic idea is, i create a custom cm, then make a nandroid backup of it, and then flash it on cwm on her mobile.
Since i'm using android more than a year, i know a little bit of modding. So i've already themed my device to suit her with some modifications such as transparent status bar, center clock, a special theme on uotkitchen, themed adw launcher with custom icons and all that..... now i just need the following answers from senior members here to complete my pseudo-rom experience of gifting her.
1) In About phone section in settings, how to change the name of Mod version and Kernel version? I mean, it shows Cyanogenmod-7.2.0. xxxxx things, and i want to change it by her name ( ), like we see in custom roms by various devs. So in which system files i need to do the editing for that?
2) How to change the Android version? Of course, i mean, android version of cm7 will be 2.3.7 , but, since she doesn't even understand what froyo/gb/ics is, i want to change it to her birth date ( ) to make her happy. So, is it possible ? And how ?
I hope other guys might also like this idea ! .... Your help will be very much welcomed. Thanks in advance..
well for one i do know that you can spoof the OS version number. dunno how tho

Hello guys! Just like your video said, I'm a noob and I'm proud of it. xD
I search'ed a bit the forum, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
OK, so I just updated my ROM to the latest version, Revolution ROM 2.5. I restored my apps with Titanium Back-Up, all good. I choose a theme from the "Revolution" soft and installed the ninphetamine 2.0.2 kernel.
Here's some questions that I have:
1. This ROM comes with ~10 widgets. How can I get all the stock ones back? I couldn't find anything.
2. Another thing, can I modify the theme how I want? I mean, I like the Gingerbread Edition theme (with all that green), but on the top-bar I would like the battery icon from the Revolution ROM, the one with some good-looking circles, but on green color. Also the bottle icons I would like to change too (too much green on them).
3. Does anyone know what is the 'process' where the today screens (all 7) are saved? I restored all my data with TBU, and my today was also how it was before updating, but w/o the widgets that are missing. After I reinstall those widgets I'd like to restore that process, where all the layouts are saved.
Thank you very much! Maybe some answers are already on this forum, but don't be hard on me because I didn't find them. Anyone how can help me is welcome and I thank him very much!
You can download the Kitchen app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171523
With that you can download stock app, widgets etc
Regarding the green ones, you can download a stock theme then try to flash the other themes from kitchen app. This is what i did
All the download etc can be done via the Kitchen app provided by LEO
Thank you very much for your support!
I managed to get my widgets + some transparent one.
About the themes, I can't do anything. If I download the stock one and then move to another, it will stay to the new one completely.
Isn't there an app that let me customize my theme? Just like Kitchen is, but they have only for general theme/dialer/market. I would want one more complex, to let me choose my style for battery, icons and so on.
Thanks again!
i always wanted to make a custom rom with my sing on it but for my personal use only....i manage this with this guide http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=1132724
and my rom is working perfectly without bug as i can see until now...but i want to add some custom boot animations or add teawks and some other "hacking" things on my Gnote so i was wondering if some one can show me a guide to do it or tell me...Also i am using the dsixda's Android Kitchen now to see with what method i am doing better work...
I am also new to this but successfully I have created a ROM for SGS II without any kitchen or whatever from Base! My Advice is You first Get a Skeleton Rom and Study Android File Structure(FOLDERS WITHIN ROMS) not FILE SYSTEM(EXT4 etc). I will guide more If you start and finish what I said previously!
Thanks always Appreciated!
ok i have make one rom with skeleton rom and is working perfectly with the cg root kernel and also with abyssnote ...i didnt face any issue so far....
Good! You should now tweak the Framework and make it stable while adding no themes!
Deodexing and CRT off and BatteryMod plus Extended power menu should be in your rom before posting on XDA because all other ppl like these features so much that now it's compulsory in every rom!
That things is what i want on my note from the day i bought it....but i dont know how to add them to my rom (the method to do it)....so far with the guide it was so "easy" (after 20) to learn anything the guide said i have manage to build one deadoxed and zipaling rom tha i am proud of after my hard time with google searching for this staff...But now i am in a dead End.

Sorry, as I can't yet post into the dev forum, I'll have to ask here:
Can you run the Criskelo V10 rom but using the standard ICS blue theme for status bars etc.
Next question:
It seems you have to use a mod called simplistic framework. I'm new to the custom rom scene, and can usually sorta figure stuff out, but what is this app? I can see it's bundled as part of Criskelo's rom, but how do you use it?
Thanks in advance, sorry for being a newbie
Hi, I am new to android world, i used apple before and was quite good at jailbreaking and stuff, but it has a lot less options than android. so i switched to samsung galaxy s3 gt- I9300
I rooted my phone, and made a clockworkmod recovery... i think its a backup.. and then i installed custom roms liquidsmooth, and paranoidandroid. both havinig base firmware as 4.1.2... But then again i switched back to Stock because i dint like the all black and blue stuff in all the custom roms, though i appreciate the options that have been added, its like having a feeling of me controlling my cell rather than the company who made it. but i dont really liked the blue wifi icon and battery icon and all the other radio buttons in blue... so
my question is
1. Can i have the custom rom i.e liquid smooth or any other with the UI as the stock one?
2. or is there a package or a theme that would change the layout of my custom rom to the stock layout ( by layout i mean all the colours and the stuff) but wont affect the options that developers have put in the custom roms.??
I would really appreciate your help.. and really sorry if i said something wrong. coz i am new to android. thnx alot in advance

Yes if you change the relevant files .
2. or is there a package or a theme that would change the layout of my custom rom to the stock layout ( by layout i mean all the colours and the stuff) but wont affect the options that developers have put in the custom roms.??
Themes and apps is where you look .
You would be far better off reading the faqs and guides first
Its not new and its only relevant to you .

the answer to it is ... CM10.1!
That my friend is something called "stock android layout", HTC modifies the official Google layout and changes it to something called "Sense Ui", so there are not much ways to accomplish this, the only way I know is you either need cyanogen mod, 10/10.1, aokp/aosp, or any ROM which has the stock Google layout.
From my findings I'd suggest you wait for CyanogenMod 10.1, its on a good start.

Yep that's probably the best advice. Changes to the status bar are at a reasonably low level on the phone, so a new launcher etc won't change it at all. You need a rooted device and a custom ROM to achieve it. CyanogenMod 10.1 would be an ideal one as it is pretty much stock 4.2.2 and has the features you want! Obviously with the DX there isn't many AOKP roms at present but work is underway!
If you want to keep up with updates to Android and stay completely stock a Nexus device is the way to go!
Thanx Guys..
I will now wait for CM 10.1 ... Hope it cums asap
Cant wait..
