I have Just started cooking my own rom and i have read all those posts i found on xda and other sites about cooking custom rom using kitchen.Now i am trying to build my own custom rom from Cynogenmod for my Xiaomi mi4. I have added and replaced BROWSER with Chrome browser and it works fine.but the problem is that when the rom is installed the luncher has a empty space for the browser.But i want that chome should be selected as default browser and it should be seen on the place where browser icon should be seen.I even want to replace gallery with Google Photos and selected it by default as gallery.
Is there any install script/init.d ways to do that or do i need to edit any app or values from any files? plz help

I've tried searching all the threads here in the Galaxy S III forum, but couldn't find anything. I am rooted on Stock ROM Version: I9300ZSALF1
The stock ROM has a max of 7 pages for Touchwiz. Is there an easy hack to be able to add more pages to Touchwiz without having to flash a custom ROM?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
simple, install a launcher replacement

Best idea is to install a launcher replacement. Nova would be my recommendation. Nova supports unlimited home screens. Best of all it allows you to save the settings (icon locations, widget locations etc) so that when you do install a custom rom, you can restore you home screen icon and widgets. The stock Touch wiz has NO support to save icons and widgets !!!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd rather stick to Touchwiz for now..
I remember reading a hack in one of these forums to add pages, but can't find it now...
Don't know if you already found what you were looking for.
I also tried to find an answer for your question and had to search by my self.
Fortunately I found the answer, wich worked for me an my Galaxy Tab3 (GT-P5200)
After decompiling your SecLauncher3.apk, open the file \res\values\integers.xml
Now you edit following line:
Code:
<integer name="config_workspaceMaxScreenCount">7</integer>
I replaced it with the following code (just to try if it would work):
Code:
<integer name="config_workspaceMaxScreenCount">9</integer>
After replacing my original SecLauncher3.apk with the modified one (in recovery mode)
and restarting my device, I was able to add 9 pages to my TouchWiz-Homescreen
Due to I am not a pro regarding Android, I can't tell you if this works for other devices.
But at least you can try and check if this small mod works for you as well.
Hope this short information helps you to get what you wanted.

Would be greate if someone could help me
After trying out several 4.1 and 4.2 based ROMs for my Galaxy S II, I would like ROM Developers to add some additional features in Android 4.2 based ROMs if possible. The features are:
1)Add Smart Stay and Smart Rotation features.
2)Multi Window
3)Add advanced camera features(Burst mode,Physical button for clicking photos etc)
3)Faster and a more smoother interface(similar to that of Nova Launcher).
4)Addition of folders in app drawer which can be pulled onto the home screen.
5)Aroma Installer with options to install each and every app and even launchers.(No default launcher for the ROM as such)
I know its not easy to do all this but since you are geniuses at doing great stuff, please try this out too..
Thanks
Here's an Idea:
1- Change topic to "ROM wishlist"
2- delete that introduction.
3- Ask a mod to move this thread to the general section.
4- by doing all the above you'll get a thread of your own.

Hello can anyone provide me with a system ui.apk that is modded to look like the touchwiz statusbar and can anyone give me a link to the last cm10.1 as i cant find it on the cm site i only find the experimental versions
1. Search for CM on Google
2. Search Touchwiz 5 theme on Play Store
3. Search for TW launcher
Hello
I dont want a theme ive tried a few and they change things I dont want them to be changed I just want the statusbar without the use of any application.
I already have the touchwiz launcher so no need for it
I searched for cm10.1 on google again just to show you that I couldnt find anything but guess what I noticed that on the cm site there is the rc build of cm10.1 so I guess you helped me there
So I just need a systemui.apk that contains a modified statusbar as I want to use it in my rom.
Modified in what way. What sort of look? Best place to look is theams and apps thread if you don't want apps of playstore ect ect

Hello there.
I'm developing a custom rom and I want to add a link to my website on the Homescreen / Launcher (so users will be able to check infos and updates about the rom)
1st Method: chrome
I searched on google "how to add an .html file on Android launcher /home screen" and every website I consulted just adviced me to download Chrome and use it to add bookmarks on the home screen.
The problem is that I'm making an Android 2.3 rom and I'm working on a device with limited storage, I don't want to download and install Chrome just to make a link...
2nd Method: apk with webview
I know how to develop a simple app in Android Studio that just uses a webview to display my website, but I don't want to use this method too because Android 2.3 webview is obsolete and I included a modern and lightweight browser in my rom. A whole apk to just open a webpage would be wasted
3rd Method: ?
I believe there's a way to put links to any file on the homescreen! Especially if the rom (pre)rooted like mine. Can you tell me how to do this, please?
Thanks in advance
Hi all, i've download an customized launcher for ATV, so i want to replace this launcher into customized ROM.
i've unpacked an android 9 rom, the rom is using default Android TV Home as launcher, how do i replace this so when i first time start up and will not ask to choose default launcher.
I tried just putting the launcher APK into system/pre-install folder, which will install. However, this will not set my launcher as default one.
sorry im newbie, and still looking around how system works. i found some answers here, but i am not able to find related file to modify.
anyone who have done this please guide me.
thx
