hello
i want to create my own rom for the xperia x10
what programs do i need for that?
and can i modify an existing rom? want to understand how making roms works first, so my question is if i download a custom rom, can i modify it for my personal purposes? for exampe by removing some apps...
thanks for ur help
Taking out apps is easy.. use titanium backup. Ifyou want to mix them use a kitchen. If you want to build one use linux and download google source and edit.

None that i know of. Maybe with some apk editing we can fix that, but i don't know. Ray's screen is too perfect that all the text is too small..

Hi all. I am really excited to install custom ROM in other thread. But I don't want to lose my apps and settings. Is there a way to backup and restore them after flashing? You know, need not an hour to do that. Thanks.

You can download an app from the market such as titainium backup or my backup, that will back up all your apps and data, once you install your rom download the app from the market again and restore. All of your apps will be restored
There are a few paid and none paid apps in market, I use paid version of titainium backup but i have used my backup in the past

if your phone is rooted, you can edit file /system/build.prop. at string ro.sf.lcd_density=240 (9 from bottom) and change density to 260 or 280, than ALL text elements will slightly bigger. need reboot after changing.
Well frankly i don't think the messaging fonts are smaller... It's quite comfortable...
That lcd build.prop method was very common in Sensation section... but there we used to decrease it to 204 and with that you get 5x5 application drawer inn HTC sense...,don't know how it will behave here...
secondly, users reported that some market applications show incompatible if you change lcd density...

Hi Gents
I have my phone rooted with unlocked bootloader and i use stock rom .42 with Doomkernel.
Now when I connect my Ray to PC, PC Companion says that new firmware is available for my phone (.62). Do you know what would happen if I would start updating through PC Companion? Brick? Loosing root? Nothing? Simply updating? What is your oppinion about that? Thanks for support.

Changing launcher
hey guys,
i´m having some trouble with changing the launcher components....
according to THIS:
monkeytown said:
hey,
habe euch hier mal meinen veränderten arc launcher hochgeladen......vllt. hat ja jemand interesse
screens:
1

ansich wurden nur der homebutton, dock und die folder icons geändert

i already did it some time ago...but now i can´t get it to work again and this file doesn´t exist anymore
my steps are:
- open .apk in betterzip
- take out some .png and change it
- replace the .png
- save the .apk
- sign it
- install
- error, app not installed
i did some searches and found something about deleting the files of the "META-INF" folder, but that didn´t work either
i guess it´s related to the launcher not just being a launcher but also a system-file or something
so...what am i doing wrong?

Just put the apk in system/app change permission to rw-r-r and restart.
you mean copy / paste with a file manager or install??
and why change the permission? the original launcher has other permissions (i´m just curious)
/e: oh ****, it worked
thx man!
can it do it the same way when modding the framework-res.apk?
Hi,
I saw a cool tweak on the SGSII in the stock contacts app.
I would like to port it to my phone(sgs4g).
so here are a couple of questions:
1.is it even possible?
2.if so - can I only port the contact app or I should I build the whole ROM?
3.If you have a guide/tutorial that can get me started that would be awsome
Thank you very much
Alon

2.no need to make the whole rom and only the contact app to be ported.
3.i dont noe if any guide is available out there but as far as i noe u need to get the source den mod it

For that , you need to include touchwiz.xml in it . There are lots of threads on it.

Hello Everybody on XDA,
I'm New here and new to android So if you please try to educate me
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III I9305
I have some Questions:
1) If I Flash a Ported Apps like For Example (Note 3 Launcher, GS4 Video Player, GS4 Camera...etc) ... Will it replace/wipe my Original Video Player Or Launcher etc....?
2) Will Ported Apps Work on If i install/flash/push them in normal root without having to flash a custom ROM? (I mean Original GS3 Touchwiz)
3) Please Provide a way to INCREASE Home Screen Page Number instead of 7 (the place where you put widgets) Without using Other launchers like Nova, Apex..etc
4) Please Provide a way for changing UI Sounds and a collection to download If Available ^^
5) Please provide a way to make my folders look organized every app creates a folder and it looks messy
6) Can I Make more apps compatible with multi window in touchwiz?? If not, is there a same app like multi window ??
Thank you and i'm looking forward for your Help!! )
If you flash something that has the same name as something that already exists, it will be replaced. It's best to have a de-odexed rom.

Correct it will not replace the original if it doesn't have the same name. However, neither will work so it MUST have the same name.
