Use 7Zip... U dont need to understand programming language. But all you need is skill of photoshop, file managing. But if you want to edit xml file, you have to understand the language.

After months using android i'm really wiling to be a developer, step by step. i want to know which reference and tutorials should i read and learn?
(i know c++ a little bit but not much, don't know if it helps)
Thanks
First of all you need to know Linux basics Try to get inside system files and APK's, try to decompile kernel and see how it works... Its a lot of tutorials in the web and on the XDA too. It's damn fun! And of course try to create some stuff, maybe it can be fairily simple project for to get started
i'll try and learning tutorials and as you said decompile some stuff in XDA. it'll be great if i find start point and i think i'm going to have it!

First learn C++ then go other things like compiling kernel because when you will compile apk,kernel will you understant? Anyway go by this way,first learn html language then javascript and at the end C language.

Please check my thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511747 as I have figure out an alternate... and easier method to get the same thing done. I have also figured out how to set the default OS that the TP would choose while booting up after the UImage has been deleted.
To the OP, I am not trying to hijack your guide and thread. I think this guide is very helpful. I mean no disrespect to you and the time you spent creating the video guide. I am just presenting a new and different method as well as a step that I think you did not go over in the video.
Thank you.

Hello web masters and developers,
I've got a noob question...
I've got Jusada's ICSunday Final ROM (all credits to Jusada, and of course I've got his permission to do moding), which I modified for my personal needs.
Until now I've added many options that missed in original release (so it's not barebone anymore) like live wallpapers, torch, RE, ScanMedia, battery drain fix and GPS fix, transparent status bar and modified Acheps CM theme (all credits to their developers, u can find the topics here in Ace forum) etc.
There is couple of things I currently cannot resolve and that drives me crazy.
When I make a fresh install of the ROM, it starts with default wallpaper (which I modified too). But since I often use my favorite livewallpaper, i really need it to be set by default from the system. Now, I've got Livewallpaperspicker.apk installed and working. I can put the livewallpaper's apk file in the /system/app and to be installed by default, but how to make it enabled by default instead of the static default_wallpaper.jpeg inside framework_res.apk?
Where in which file I should enable it bu default?
Thank you for your patience, and also excuse me for my bad english, and If I break the rules with this thread!
Regards!
P.S: Excuse me for the stupid thread title, I couldn't figure out a better one...
Obviously no one knows, or it's too difficult to explain for noobs like me... Sad... I search on Google but either I don't search with correct keyword or there are no such thread/topic/lesson...

Here is all the info you need, figure out yourself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13649923&postcount=2
The line should be without the space (glitch in XDA forums LOL) in com.android.wallpaper
<string name="default_wallpaper_component">com.android.wallpaper/.nexus.NexusWallpaper</string>
not the one u see in the post

Thanks for the reply mate, but it seems that there is no "value" folder inside my /res folder. Anyway I searched for strings.xml inside other folders in /res folder but... no success... I'll extract the ROM's package right now and will search inside all folders for strings.xml and will see if such a file exist... Thanks btn pressed for the reply and for the idea
P.S: I've found the file that contains keyword "default_wallpaper_component" in it. It's framework.odex. Now I've got to figure out first how to edit it (with notepad++ there are a bunch of unusable characters) and what exactly to write to enable my favorite_livewallpaper.apk by default. Because it's gonna be normal, pre-installed .apk file (not inside the LiveWallpapers.apk) and I don't know how to call it inside the string... Damned, this is gonna be harder than I thought But... I like to be hard, if there are good people that wont mind to teach me or tip me for the answer)) Thanks

I didn't say that I'm modder. I'm modding only Jusada's ICSunday ROM, and only for my personal use... anyhow, thanks for the tips, and replies. No offence, but... sometimes noobs want's to learn too, u know... keep it in mind.

As I said before, I need just an advise on how to do-that. I don't need someone to "serve it in golden plate" All I needed was a little hint and you gave it to me, that's why I thanked you. And as I said before, I searched Google and xda but with no success - obviously I didn't know how to "ask", wrong keyword etc.
After your hint I remembered that I read somewhere that not all folders are visible with win rar (for example) and they need to be decompiled in a special way. I searched again and found APKTool, now I'll install it (inside Windows folder, i read) and will begin to learn how-to.
That's the way to learn I think?

just give me the updater script. file
here it is thanks
There is no mount and unmout cmd's in the script..
Well iam on phone now...
Simple solution for u is to use any any existing mod's meta-inf folder in ur mod.

Have a look at a working updater-script and you will see a huge difference
For example you need a command like
Code:
extract_dir
More set perms and mounting/unmounting system. Please check out a "real" updater-script :good:

Try download some flashable zips and view updater scripts with notepad++
This is the best way to understand how it works.
If I have some time I write a little guide

delete extension
but the best way is open one of the updater-script (download any flashable zip) and edit with notepad++
(be sure you edit with notepad++ othervise you will see status6 error when flashing)
