Hello All,
Firstly, I would like to say how great this website is and tip my hat off to all the people involved in maintaining this site.
I am very new to the whole XDA modification scene and have a ton of newbie questions. I know some of these questions have been asked before; however I still have not grasped the concepts fully. I have tried to restate the questions asked before so that I (and hopefully other newbie’s ) can fully understand how to modify XDA’s.
Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
So here goes the questions:
When creating a customized ROM (using MKRom) my understanding is that one has re-create the initobj.txt and the Default.reg. Is it possible just to install all the applications you want, and then download the initobj.txt and the Default.reg and place them in the cfg directory for the custom ROM?
If this does not work, how does one know what to edit in these files?
When MKROM request a Rom image, is it requesting the backup ROM IMAGE? Will any image do?
When backing up a ROM, what option does one have to select to backup the operating system, settings and programs inside the ROM? Does CE do all of this?
What is CE, Boot, GSM stand for in the boot menu?
If one wants to just create a new boot image, what is the simplest way? Does one have to create a whole new ROM?
If one wants to just have the unlocking software, what is the simplest way? Does one have to create a whole new ROM?
When creating a Rom using RomKitchen, it asks you add Add your own ROM files? Is this your backup rom?
In RomKitchen one of the readme files asks for:
bootimage.bmp,_initobj.txt,_initdb.ini,_default.reg,xipchain
Is the default.reg and the initobj.txt in this directory have to be pre altered for the new programs one wants in the Rom like the way the MKROM wants them? Does the setup program create them for you?
Is the bootloader.nb0 file specific to the boot loader you have?
Very confused what is exactly needed in the /CFG directory.
In the CFG directory do you place your backup Rom dump?
Hi ...
Do you call these as newbie questions ??!! :shock: ... I can hardly wait to see your advanced ones :wink:
If I got you right, you want to "create" your own ROM instead of doing like most of us by "cooking" a new ROM in one of the kitchens like www.yorch.net
I may advice you to move this thread to the "Hacking it" forum which I see it a better place than here.
hi, i wanna ask you, something,.
how can i change the build number version of the ROM?
Changing with g'reloc? how if the downloaded rom have no rgu's??
or is there any more simple way to do it, without changing the whole SYS folder,.
thanks in advance,.

Okay I searched the forum and maybe my terms weren't spot on but I couldn't find exacly what I was looking for, so if this thread is another drop in a sea of spam my apologies.
I recently flashed the AuraXTsense ROM on my Desire and it comes preinstalled with the genie widget. I wanted the transparent version so I downloaded the .apk and I tried to instal it with the application manager, unsuccessful and I'm sure it's not even the right way to go about about change a widget.
I also read somewhere of a adb I don't know if that's what I need but if any could send me a tutorial for adb, or to modify a preinstalled ROM app widget (or any kind of widget from any app) it would be really appreaciated.
thank you very much in advance
PS: I'm kinda new at this whole android thing sorry if my question may sound silly to some older member

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
just flash the new alpharev s-off in the developent section, then use a file manager to replace the .apk in /system/app/ with the new one using a file explorer
I read about the alpharev s-off but I didn't think it would actualy be needed (I thought it was only for people who couldn't root their phone) I wil check it out thank you
So ive been looking through the build.prop files of various ROM's and i notice they all have different build dates and names obviously some changed by the user and some from the original build...
My question is where can i get a fresh copy? Where do you guys start? Do i have to go to google developer site and get it from there?
Hello,
anyone a good solution to bring into rooted HOX silent-sound (Notification)? Last week i updated to JellyBean and now to many sound
I have a file called "silent.mp3" to hear nothing and will use it as standard sound for notifications.i moved that file into system\media\audio\notification folder....but then:
my Silent.mp3 not listed in the Sounds-bar
rename existing "si.mp3" to si.mp3.bak" and then rename my "silent.mp3" to "si.mp3" --> also not listed longer
I think it's related an date from files (creation Date). I tried to change the file-properties at the same date as the original file but after save is it not changed. mysterious.
anyone a good idea, then i need really a silent sound :-S
Thanks for Ideas. Nice Xmas for all from you!
