Is there a way to change/add the device model in Android emulator?
If I try to get device model programatically, it always return "android-sdk" or "sdk" in emulator.
I want to set the real device name in emulator for testing purpose.
You can download ROM toolbox and it'll allow to change almost everything

Search in Google play for ROM Toolbox Lite. This version is free and support the build.prop edit you want.
Caution: Prior applying any changes please make a backup of your current build.prop file
I believe you can just also navigate to the system folder and find it there. Use es file explorer and under settings check up to root, root explorer, and mount system.

Hi.

I've tried file expert & astro!...I've waisted hours already trying to move the files so if its possible to do it with a free app could you guys please let me know!..
I had to setup an account on here to hopefully find out.

you should use it in your work instead of the one you use now. he is fine with it being in a rom as long as you give credit. i think its nicer to use too.

Here is a simple fix to enable custom bootanimation
Steps:
1. flash the attached zip using CWM
2. copy your favorite bootanimation.zip to /system/media folder and set permission to 644 (all read, top write)
3. reboot
Notes:
1. Make sure you use the correct zip or you'll end up in bootloop
2. 1.4.1 fix requires change to the kernel (boot.img), so please do a CWM backup first and do it at your own risk

I have succesfully changed boot animation in CM7 alpha with rom toolkit from Google Market. There are over 50 animations to choose from. Maybe you can figure out a script to add these to stock rom or will they flash over wifhout bootloop?

I already install the superuser app, do i need to configure something else ?
Superuser will prompt you when it's needs root access for something (i.e. using a application requiring root) and you will have the option to allow or deny this access. You shouldn't need to configure the application itself unless you just want to change some basic settings. Hope it helps!

Give Titanium Backup a try. It needs root and can backup your apps+data. A must have tool.

Do some search buddy...... you will gain more if you search yourself......
Nyways heres the LINK which may be of great help.........
This was my first guide for development......
What you can do is flash stock rom and get cwm to it
Then go to backup in cwm and create firmware.zip
It will do all the stuff for u and just place this file in the input folder!
So can I create gaming ROM by using this Android Kitchen??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
By Gaming, you mean Fast and No Lags? You could make a rom faster than stock with the Kitchen but this was designed to work with all Devices so its just a basic tool here. For real performance, you need to do device specific tweaks and all so you ought to learn to do it manually

Someone is back
Nothing is like a real gaming rom unless u overclock gpu and give it more ram
Term we(not me) use as gaming Rom is that we keep more ram free and high minfree values so that good amount of ram is available for the game
So I have to do tweaks to make a lag free ROM??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yup Take a look at some of the roms released here to get an idea of the tweaks normally used

you will have to tweak so as to reduce lag and also get more free RAM which can be used to play games.........
Take a look at OOM Groupings, Dalvik Cache and also tweaking the CFS ( Thunderbolt Script would be an ideal base to start with ) These give the most noticeable improvements
The most famous tweaks is thunderbolt right?? Do I have to do manually or what?? Step by step instruction to do a custom ROM please..... if not then nevermind!!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The best way to learn is to download any custom rom, go through the entire thing yourself And take a look at my guide for making cwm flashable zips and you'll be able to understand how things work What you do is open Thunderbolt tweaks zip and go through the files in it and try to understand the code

You are smart, that's why you understand the thunderbolt codes....
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Its not very hard mate Just go through a few simpler scripts first and then you'll quickly understand it too I started understanding what these scripts do a week into my development start, but it wasnt till later i realised its just basic Shell scripts Learn Shell Scripting for linux and you'll be able to understand these commands easily

Meta.INF contains just the updater script which is run when you select the .zip file in CWM.......

Hello people,
I have a rooted phone and i'm trying to edit build.prop file. The problem is that whenever i try to do this the file reverts back after minutes to a backuped version the phone is handling. I tried everything: App to edit the file, switch to r/w under esexplorer, rename the file. The modifications are accepted at first, but only for minutes.
Does anyone know how to deal with this? Thank you for all your contributions.
