When I'm editing my build.prop to add things like the Sony Bravia mod and what not does it matter where I add the lines? Can it be anywhere in the build.prop?? Does the phone just read the file from top to bottom?
Also, where do babies come from?

Thirded. Those men are right, Notepad++ is an awesome editor and utility to use. Bluefish isn't bad if you want to have an alternative to try but I don't see how you can go wrong with Notepad++.
Notepad++ for most basic stuff and linux for smali.
Notepad + + for everything here.
Compare and replace features are needful.

For on device edits, I included Bluefish in UbunTop 1.3. I had intended to include very early on but kept forgetting to do so.
This is by far the easiest method of modding your build prop

looks like an encoding "problem". try playing with various encoding options, and you should be good to go
Where is that xml located? You might need to decompile if its located in one of the framework files. (Framework-res.apk)
Then it should read correctly. pm me if you continue to have problems cause I'm pretty good with this stuff lol

If it's in the framework-res.apk, you do need to decompile it. Relevant thread can be found here.

decompile it with apk manager instead... (it overall works better)
over the years i made a perfect apk manager package that worked pretty well. can you upload your framework-res.apk that your trying and i will see if i can get it to work?

and yes, the easiest way is to use a kitchen. i recommend this one. and if one of the files doesnt deodex right we can always borrow that specific file from another rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
it has an option to deodex either just /system/app, /system/framework, or both
(although i've never tried it on the amaze yet.)

With the 2.13 base, haptic feedback of the capacitive keys was reduced significantly. I've gotten a few requests to "please find a way to put it back to the way it was on the prior base". I have to agree it's a bit "dainty" and difficult to detect on 2.13 and I found a simple solution to those of you with a little experience with decompiling and recompiling. As usual, this guide assumes you know how to decompile and recompile apk/jar files and is not intended as a primer on how to do that, yada, yada.
OK, this is really simple. Just decompile android.policy.jar and open \smali\com\android\internal\policy\impl\PhoneWindowManager.smali and search for this:
Code:
const v9, 0x409000f
replace that line with this:
Code:
const v9, 0x1070021
Save, recompile and you should be good to go.

As far as I know, it's not just an apk. It goes much deeper than that. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Youre right.
- f3w1n -
Honestly you should just wait, or get hold of the s3 leak that already includes it.
It is wired so deep in the frameworks you will never get it fully working, or maybe not even at all if you tried to port from the note.
There is one dedicated apk, then there is code in xml's of several other apks and various libs and other files.
The multi window function is part of the systemui apk. Read thru this thread.
You'll have to edit it yourself if you want to port it to other devices.

In an attempt to make all of our lives easier I have been working on a generic and customizable aroma installer.
There's a lot of really great things you can do with this. Not only can you set it to flash roms, but you can unistall just about anything, run commands and much much more.
It does take some basic knowledge of programming. Lots of if then else endif statements.
So you should have a good working knowledge of basic programming.

I would like to thank @amarullz and any others that help him for such an innovative programming tool!

Tutorial
This is going to be some helpfull information on what to do with the zip file once you have it
Before you start,
Downloads
Generic Amaze aroma installer http://tinyw.in/BL8m
winrar http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0 I use this a lot and it's free (until the trial runs out, then you have to click the buy it box closed of just shell out a few bucks and get the license)
Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org this is a text editor and I use it frequently! and it's FREE!!
That's all you need to download for now...
You should also make a copy of the generic.zip file and modify the copy and save the original.
The major folders all have a readme.txt file in them with directions/info as to what to put there.
I do recommend studying the aroma-config and updater-script files.
These two files interact with each other and files that the aroma-config file creates.
There are a few other files like changelog.txt and agreement.txt that you can edit with a text editor.
Splash Screens / Banners
Find a nice picture (.png file) that you want to use for a Slash screen/banner (I'm not sure what the limitations are for this)
Splash screen/ Banners look really good when they are semi transparent and have no background.
The ones in the venom roms really look cool.
