How to use porting tools? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering how to port to the incredible. I have windows 7, android sdk,apktool,smali/baksmali, and 7zip installed. I need to know how to use the tools mentioned and maybe some steps for porting. Modification of apk, jar, .xml, .so files are a must when porting,i just don't know how. Can someone please let me know, even if you want to pm then please do so. Thanks. Oh, afa what device I'd be porting from, not sure. Maybe from the desire or n1.

I did try to google but nit anything on the incredible. I make it a general practice to google and research before I bother anyone on the forum.

Maybe a Rom kitchen will help. I don't have much experience in this area.

It's no bother to people, I misread. rom kitchen sounds about right. you could always just try and theme the ROM you like..

Thanks for the response. What I really need is to know how to use the tools I mentioned. I have a basic overall knowledge of porting but am unsure of how to use the tools

[ROM] Creating a new rom - Conical lockscreen

Hello i am new to the forum. I am creating a ROM, using Froyo as the platform and the droid incredible as the target phone. Generic compilation was succesful.
I am currently trying to change the lockscreeen. I have some found the locations of some of the lockcreen components. Currently i am trying to figure out how slidingtab.java is called. Are there any others that have some expereinces in changing the lockscreen-
You are in the correct area. SlidingTab is an object that is used in LockScreen.java.
Interesting.. Will be watching the thread closely

+1. I plan on doing this myself eventually (the custom ROM, not just changing the lock screen). Just hard to find the time.
thanks for the quick replies. I have some time right now. My school schedule is light. I will debug lockscreen.java more and get back with my findings. thanks ihtfp69

Can we get a pre-release?
You can also pm me if you need a tester.
Thanks!

what he said for me too..
Sure, but first I need to learn how to turn it into an *.zip for flashing. I currently run my builds through the emulator. If someone can get me pointed the right direction I can work faster ;-)

This is a silly question, but what does a "conical" lock screen look like?
It was meant as the name of the ROM. After posting I realized how it read. I'm not sure. Hmm maybe with two cones point to point.

LOL. I thought I missed out on some hot new UI paradigm or something!
pm me if you need a tester, always up for beta testing a new rom.

As far as I know their is no lockscreen sdk. If their was one lockscreen replacement could be so much easier.

ROM kitchen worked. But since I'm using an AOSP version the touch controls do not work. I'm going to debug using logcat to figure out if the controls initialize

3g icon

Anyone know where or what the file name for the 3g icon is? I don't like the look of the new one.

Normally the files you're looking for are located inside system/framework/framework-res.apk under the folder drawable-hdpi
In a normal rom you're be looking for 4 files:
stat_sys_data_connected_3g.png
stat_sys_data_in_3g.png
stat_sys_data_inandout_3g.png
stat_sys_data_out_3g.png
Depending on what rom you're running you might find that they're more files associated with the 3G icon, for example CM7. Your best bet if you don't know what you're doing and just want to switch out a couple of pngs is to use MetaMorph or use this kitchen....

Also, for future reference you might want to use the search feature to find answers like this because of how often people ask and if you do in fact have to post a new thread it is to your advantage to post things like what ROM you're running or if your question(s) is about a kernel then post that as well because it helps for people like myself to answer your question(s).
Oh and here's a site where you can download whatever 3G icon you want and use MetaMorph to apply it to your theme....

[Q] I need some tips and tricks

I plan on creating my own rom and was wanting to know what tools I may need and how to go about it the correct way? It will be Android based.
Google it, exactly what I did. Make sure you have a decent computer that can handle all that memory.

On-screen buttons

My phone recently fell and my capacitive keys don't work. Its sad that I can enjoy the betas of REMICS ans SENSE 4.0 ON my epic. I would grfeatly appreciate if someone could teach me how to enable these or create them. If someone teaches me I can keep updating the file for each update and push it out for most ROMs on our epics. I have decompiled and compiled frameworks and done basic editing. I know it will take more than just a little editing but I am more then willing to learn to make this happen! Thanks to anyone who tries in advance.

Install AOKP, go to settings, rom control, enable navbar, select onscreen buttons you want
Decompile framwork-res.apk, edit /values/bools.xml and set the navigation bar value to true then recompile.

Can't you also just create local.prop and add line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0?

@dahturdima I have that on right now. I've had it like this. But I've been wanting to do it for other roms.
@ marcusant I though of that was in the process of doing it. But my decompilers wouldn't do it. I was getting chunk PNG missing files or something like that. I was trying to do it on REMICS.
If someone could upload their working set of tools I would greatly appreciate it.

I've done it on cm9 and it works.

It worked great thanks Zeinzu. Youre a genius. Is it possible to resize it without decompiling?
Not sure, haven't tried. I'm assuming no though.

Im assuming the guys that created ROM control are gurus because it does it automagically once you put the size?-.-
EDIt: it would be awesome if someone could hook me up with the tools to decompile these kinds of frameworks. I can decompile ICS ones fine. Just not newer ones? Lol

Extracting icons from roms

I was curious if anyone could assist in helping me pull a 4g data icon from a ROM, I use different ROMs all the time, but find different aspects I like from others, I was curious how I could do that and input it into another ROM.
Thanks

Anyone at all, there has to be some dev or someone out there that has some leading information at least, maybe that kitchen program can do this, just want a point in the right direction.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Its not that simple. You have to decompile apks, make your edits then recompile. That's a super simplified overview
OK well I appreciate your response, from what I read on the kitchen forum it does talk about being able to compile your own customizations to preexisting ROMs or taking pieces of other ROMs and compiling your own version, probably requires a lot more practicing with said program.
