Ive Noticed that the DX2 Has number of atrix ports and a couple of roms.. Any how i would love some more support than CM7 for the photon. I know we only have a handful of wonderful devs for the photon and they can only concentrate on so much at once.
I am wanting really bad to contribute..Can some one show me where to brush up on my skills I am wanting to attempt to Dev. I know IT HAS BEEN ASKED i just want to go to the right places...Just seems like there is not enough interest in the photon in general.. I have all the free time in the world right now...
Id like to thank all the wonderful Devs in the photon forum and for making CM7 boot!! Some good ISH!! i cant wait!!
If you want to make a custom, stock-based ROM, it is fairly easy. A number of us on the forums just think that it is not very necessary to have so many ROMs when there is little-to-no changes between them.
Anyhow, the basic gist is like this:
Find some app/theme you want to include into a ROM. Extract the ROM (.zip), and then place those files into their respective folders. Generally, themes are in framework-res.apk files and go in /system/framework. Apps usually go into /system/app. Keep in mind if you want to port a theme, you will have to resize the images and rename them (usually), which involved extracting the .apk, modifying the necessary files, and then pushing them back into an unextracted copy of the .apk (to deal with signing issues). When you are done with your modifications to the ROM, highlight/select all of the folders and files (usually META-INF, system, boot.img), and compress them into a zip archive. Bam, new ROM made.

Thanks BRO!!!! And Thank you for all your hours and dedication you have put fourth with school and all!! I would not of held on to my Photon If it weren't for you!! Honestly!!!
If you guys want I could upload my recent creation.
Its yays deodexed rom with the alien theme embedded in. I can't seem to get the blur launcher to work though and I could slim it down. Remove ringtones notifications and apps if ya'll want...its nothing special just themed no special tweaks.
Don't think you can add tweeks without unlocking the BL...

That would be awesome!!!! Im working on something NOw!! I would like to use what u created!!
Its pretty much yays rom + kenneths theme and a working settings apk lol
You want it stripped down as possible? I suck at making update zips for gapps and such but I can strip it and you can command mount the things you want.
and applications? not everything is shareable I try to make a build did not work well but gets stuck on the logo of motorola
what are you adding and taking away?
I absolutely love the SGSII lockscreen on TSM Resurrection. But instead of AM/PM being displayed properly next to the time, I get Jan./Feb. instead. Looks like something inside the XML files inside framework-res.apk is messed up. I tried decompiling the APK and removing the AM/PM references in res/layout/zzz_keyguard_screen_clock.xml, but when I try to recompile and boot, the phone will get just hang at a black screen after the boot animation.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

it would actually be a resource id in android.policy.jar in one of the sgs2 lockscreen files....if i get a chance this week or next ill flash the rom and edit the file
No sweat, I know this is pretty far down on the list of priorities. If I can somehow figure it out before you do I'll post the file here. Thanks for the pointer. Trying to understand how this stuff works a little better...
OK, after decompiling android.policy.jar, I need to edit UnlockClockGB.smali to fix the AM/PM, but I don't know enough Java to figure out what's going on in there. I only know Python. I'd just remove the AM/PM reference, but don't know which method to change to remove it.
Just for your information, I'll keep working.
I have started playing with custom icons recently an was curious, where can one find the stock icon.png file? I have a lot of apps on my phone like DrexelOne (for my college) which no one has made customs of, because of this I need the stock image to use as a base for my custom one. Other unpacking the .apk and removing the the icon.png is there a way to reach these?
Thanks ahead of time, I think this will help many more rookies than just me!

Are you asking where that default icon is that only shows up when the app has no specified icon? That would be either in framework.res or com.htc.resources. Both of those apks are in /system/framework.
No I'm asking in general is there a way to take an application's icon and use it as the base for a custom one? For example: Can I somehow get the SuperUser icon .pgn file so that I can take it into paint and edit it, then use ApexLauncher to edit the icon shown on my home screen?
Maybe I'm simplifying the steps to much, but can't you make 72x72pixel .pgn and use ApexLauncher to to make that new icon the icon the shows up?
Hello all
I have a rooted dinc4glte and I want to do 3 thigns
a) change the battery to one that has digits so I can drop a widget from my home screen
b) change my boot animation
and 3 change the default check marks to something with a bigger check. I have trouble seeing them.
so once I figure out whch files to upload to uot I can take the zip file from uot and find and mod the check boxes myself but which files odo i upload.
or soemoen can tell me which files i need.
also will i need to deodex the whole rom? i didn't need to on my stratosphere.
I had a Samsung with gb before and it was clear which 3 files but with sense htc its less clear

On the bottom of the file upload page, under NOTE 1, UOT says which files to upload for ICS Sense. You'll upload the Systemui.apk, the framework-res.apk. and the com.htc.resources.apk. Also, UOT says that it has support for odex roms, but traditionally you would use a de-odexed rom. There is a rooted de-oedexed .605 stock rom in the android development section.
Hii ... I want to edit my status bar or change it. With another one of the custom rom Omni. Kitkat4.4 customized for s3 ...so I opened the systemUI using apktools and extracted it and opened the layout folder to find sooo many xml files of the. Stats bar ... so I don't know what files to edit or to copy from the other rom to the stock 4.3 which I have and is it right to change in the xml files or there is another codes that I may change ... I want to know how does it works (noting that I. Want to get all those features in the kitkat on 4.3 cause I found. Some issues I'm the. Wifi slow connection and the stock apps are missed and slow battery charging so if there is a way to fix that that would be nice from you**) please ask me if there is u decleared part in my question*
What files you'll need to edit totally depends on what part of the statusbar you want to change.
Then there's the point of copying over files, which is (most of the time) not an advisable option because there can be so many changes between them, and you even the slightest mistakes will softbrick your device. So be careful, and try to walk before you can run. Follow some guides first and then go and try stuff on your own.
As for fixing hardware issues, that's something totally different. And can only be done when compiling ROMs from source. (again, first walk. Then run)
