Hello Guys,
I am thinking about building a basic custom rom for personal use, i know that if i decompile a rom i will be able to go to system/app and find all of the roms apks there.
The default launcher for the rom is Launcher2.apk but i want ADW Launcher(free) do i simply delete launcher2 and add ADW so that it will load as the default launcher when i install the rom or is there a certain step that i am missing ?
Cheers

first up you can edit posts and tittles.
second what are you after if you mean a simple theme then you just have to change the images / layouts. otherwise it has to be hacked into the smali in the framework. (not an easy task)
Pvy.
haha im also using your team rom. is it alright if i change the files from your rom? and what files would i be changing to just change the lockscreen. im currently on the 4.0 rom. would i need to change the files from the 3.8 and 4.0. sorry about my noobishnes im pretty new to this

Hello everybody.......
I was already 1 year with my SGA and luv it......
playing with custom rom, kernel, and sometimes do a head to head quadrant battle with my friends......
now, lets just straight to the point right?
i wanna ask, how to "integrate" or make default settings for CM7, I mean.....when I do data+cache wipe, my wallpaper change to default cm7 wallpaper, then how to make my wallpaper doesnt return to default when I do full wipe????well.....not only wallpaper, but latin IME setting, adw customization, etc etc.
and another question.
yesterday, my friend ask me to install cm7 for his xperia x8, and I decided to install miniCM(unofficial CM7.2). after few times comparing, I realize that CM7 for X8 is much better. for example in CM setting===>interface===>statusbar, there's option for centerclock, and scrolling in sub menu is smoother. is this because of update from CM source? or just because X8 have better kernel???
Thanks......any help will apreciated.....
My sister owns a X8. Its awesome. Even better than my Galaxy Ace. I helped her to unlock bootloader, flashed custom kernel and flashed Mini CM7. Furthermore, I overclocked the frequency of the processor until 825MHz. Its now smoother than my Ace!

yeah.....X8 is better.......until accidentialy I do data-cache-system wipe and cant access recovery at all......then I realize that x8 doesnt have recovery partition, the recovery is located on /system/ partition
anyway, back to topic. any thoughts about my 1st question???
I don't know much about cm based roms. In stock the framework-res, SystemUI and Settings apps have "default" wallpapers and settings in their respective /res folders. The default wallpapers only require you to replace the png image, for other settings you need apktool to decompile and edit the required XML files.
It should be similar with cm based roms, you probably have more experience on which app affects the screen you need.

Remove the default one and add which ever you want to the same folder.
If the current launcher on bootup is z apk delete that apk from system app folder and include the apk of the launcher that you want
Ohh many thanks for gives an idea
Hi , I think stock icons of touchwiz launcher are very ugly, is there a method to replace them? Something like apply a theme. I have demolition v10 stock root deodex xell5.
Thanks

there are many alternatives to change the stock icons
1. DO IT YOURSELF
decompile APK's and literally change lot of img inside
2. INSTALL A LAUNCHER
launchers like NovaLauncher, ADW, GoLauncher, etc support themes that are meant for their launcher
3. FLASH A ROM THAT SUPPORTS THEMES
ROMs that are AOKP/CyanogenMod based/AOSP/MIUI have lots of themes
if you are the android fanatic type, i suggest AOSP/AOKP/CM
if you think apple's icons look rather dashing, then i suggest grab MIUI
cheers!

Thanks for reply,
Maybe I forgot to say that I prefer stay in stock deodexed rom with original touchwiz home launcher. So I think the only way is decompile apk... is apktool good for this?

Good Morning Everyone,
I have a quick question. I am attempting to build my own ROM, simply using CM10.1 as a base right now. I am trying to use APEX launcher as my default, however, I want to use a custom theme with it. I want the theme to be automatically applied on first boot instead of having to apply it after installing the ROM. Does anyone know how to do this? Can I just copy the "res" and "assests" folders from the theme to the launcher .apk, or is there more to it? Thanks.
