can anyone tell me how to add this to any rom ? i have seen these options in quite a few roms, but don't know what i need to be able to achieve this.
thanx
I'm interested as well. I saw the thread with the mod the other day before cooking my ROM and lost it. Haven't found it yet.
You can find a flashable version of it here :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776679
in second post.
I use it in almost all ROM's I test.
android.policy.jar
ah thanx guys.
btw does anyone know which and what *.smali file you need to edit to achieve the above result ? i would rather do it myself to my own classes.dex than using the virusrom one. (unless i absolutely have too)

+1 Bump. I would like to know this also.
Uhhm ok first of all I'm not a 'PRO' at android manipulations or something, just an average xda guy, so please be friendly ...
I was thinking if is there a way that I can make my stock rom function like custom roms? Like have what most custom roms have to offer? I read that stock is always better than custom...
Also like my stock can have tweaks to lengthen batt life, make it faster eventhough its just stock. And also have tweaks like MegaBassBeats etc. just wondering since idk if I can flash those directly on stock.
PS. Im currently using Hybrid v4
You can follow kurotsugi thread to create custom rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590330
I always use stok rom and customize with some tweak, modify infitrams in kernel and add another work from other but still love to use stok kernel.

That thead made after i custom my rom. Lol.
But kurotsugi more better than me to write and his progres very awsome n more advance than me.
Actualy just use rootexplorer, titanium backup, cwm, and winrar in window enough for minimalis customize.
if you don't want to make an installable rom, you can skip that part. you can go directly for customizing section. you can follow chamatht post about deodexing apk's.
PS: thanks savie, but I'm not as good as savie have said. I'm just another noob here

sir what do you mean if I dont want to make an installable rom? and which part do I skip? I just want to make a rom or just customize stock rom and let it have maybe the following:
-bravia engine
-megabassbeats
-v6 and [email protected] support
-deodex (still thinking about it, since it looks kinda hard)
-merruk kernel (I think I read somewhere that it is ok with stock rom? not sure)
those are currently my target for this project... is it possible to have those on (modified) stock rom sir?
Edit: I just read your guide sir, and I think I can do it (I think), so I can customize an existing rom that I have now and put bravia engine + megabassbeats etc. on it? Btw, I have a ccopy of chobits rom so I have the files, your guide says "put be_photo and be_movie in system/etc folder then edit the build.prop" what do I put in build.prop to make it work?

you can go straight to the customization. see add_build.prop.sh inside megabassbeat. that is the script that you should add.

so the add_build.prop.sh I just copy paste the contents to build.prop? or is it supposed to be a separate file that I should just paste somewhere on system folder?

don't copy all the script. you'll need to copy the string and value for build.prop file. if you don't know which one should be copied you can use this one. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zf40rush0bdj1u2
Ok thanks for the help sir will work on it later tonight

Why do you need to zip align every time.Need to zipalign an app only once.
anyways here is the script.
Unzip it and copy it to /system/etc/init.d and give it executable permissions. Look at the permissions of the other script and make this one the same.
For V6 supercharge ... look into the V6 supercharg post for guide.
There are lots of ROM creating Guides. Just search in XDA forums and you will get plenty.
What you dont understand is that its not so simple to follow a guide to make your own rom, because then its not really yours. Start off with getting someones else's rom and doing little mods to it. Just think: what would make the rom better? Say for example yopu might do some speed improvements, then maybe beats audio, then maybe some android 4.2 apps, etc. Once you have enough new things then you can make your own thread.
PS: googling stuff always helps
Just adding mods to a stock rom isnt really a new rom

Then what are stock based roms? Look at UHD, sparta charge, x gamer, acroniam, jelly sandwhich. They're just stock that's been modded, tweaked and rooted.
But they´re still defferent to a stock rom with some mods of the modding section.
U cant pick 5 mods and call it a new custom rom.
Check out the ROM "cyano bean" its a entirely different ROM to cm10 yet look at my quote:

Hi, this is a ROM heavily based on the work of FXP
I wanted to share the ROM I put together for my own personal use (so I didn't have to flash lots of individual things) and wanted to share it with the community, as it is a very fast ROM (no thanks to me)
So to start with I am no developer, I have not made any of the things included in this ROM apart from adding a few tweaks to the build.prop
I merely compiled lots of different things and put them into this in the hope people in the community will enjoy

Hi everyone!
Im newbie and i dont know how to deodex my stock rom.
I've used dxda kitchen for system.ext4.tar from Stock ROM but kitchen cant deodex its
Help me pls! Thanks! ^^
kitchen works just fine, you've done something wrong.
did you read the MANUAL??
as was mentioned before.. change the API to '10' before deodexing.
btw. wrong section, man

Can you give link of Manual, sir?
And teach me how to change the API pls
Thank you for reply
You must set api=10 TO deodex rom.wirh kitchen..
Inviato dal mio GT-I8160 con Tapatalk 2
read the kitchen's thread, the first few posts most important.
in kitchen there's always a description about the function you're currently using
during deodex there's option to change API, then you get a screen with availible APIs and for gb2.3.x it's 10 so just enter correct value
can't teach everything, you know, try reading some threads on XDA, there's already 99% of your answers here
Many thanks for your help!
Now i can deodex Stock Rom ^^
One more question, does someone known add 14 toggle buttons to the rom? Tell me again pls ^^

Ok so.... Im attempting to port my 1st "successful" Rom(previous failed attempts dont count) ,but Im having trouble editing build.prop and making the updater-script. Im more concerned about the build.prop to get Rom to boot. I was able to use APKManager/tools Windows kit to automatically create update-script and convert to updater-script as needed for CWM Recovery, but still need help with build.prop. As the guide from XDA member "Peteragent" says that Sony Ericsson users must use common sense when editing build.prop, which I apparently do not have.lol. Im using This guide here. I am trying a Gingerbread Rom as practice and not to post until I choose new roms. I will upload both the port and base's build.props if anyone is kind enough to explain what to change and help me to get Rom to boot. This is both build.propsHERE. Thanks so much in advance:victory:
Well you don't need to edit anything, pick build.prop of any ROM & test.
Feel free to Post your Port

So should I just use Logcat to fix any build.prop?
