Can anyone post a step by step basis for changing auto brightness values, or send a link?
There are other people to that wanna know that I personally know, and that I've seen in the forums.
New to Android, love it however, I wanna learn how to use adb correctly and SDK and APK manager. I'am also posting this so that I can break the 10 posts so I could ask in the original thread.

Hi all,
I'm currently working on a 2.1 Sense-UI 'Lite' Rom, which will use a customised, lightened version of the Espresso Rosie. I'll be no-doubt spending every second of my free time in Photoshop with the aim of making this rom look stunning.
As for the rom itself:
I've used highlights from several of the current 2.1 releases from this and other forums, and I'm pretty happy with it so far; it has a very small 'not working' list, and the filesize is reasonably low for a Sense UI rom. Of course, I'll credit people where credit is due.
Anyway, the questions. Some of this may seem incredibly dumb. Please assume that I have an understanding of Linux, but I am very new to Android Development. I've simply read the guide that Lox posted, then taken a 'learn whilst I work' approach. So...
1. How do I edit the 'Software Number'? (I can't seem to find it)
2. If I start again with a clean, AOSP 2.1 rom, how do I make it use Rosie? It can't just be a case of putting the Rosie.apk in the right place can it?
3. If I want to select which apps/widgets appear and where, do I edit the relevant XML which contains the Screen/X/Y locations?
If/when I have more questions, I'll post them here!
Thanks in advance
1. Sorry dont know,
2. No you need to add all the framework files, quite a few of them I think.
3. system/customize/mns/default.xml

Thanks Dan. I have the Framework files, so that's easy enough.
I suspected it was the default.xml, so thanks again.
Anyone know the answer to my first question?
I think that it is somwhere in build.prop but I can be wrong.
1. No idea what you mean by 'Software Number'
2. com.htc.framework.jar and friends need to be added to init.rc's BOOTCLASSPATH var ... so at the very least, you need to provide a custom boot.img ... that rules out adding it over other custom ROMs ... on top of that all the Rosie related /system files need to be present...
3. yes - that default.xml is the place ..
Good luck ...!
(Side note ... Why oh why would you want to add sense!)
ok so i have had this idea sence i bought this phone of making a complete rework theme/rom and all the icons, i have been searching around for all the info i need and found some but not all so i am going to post some questions and hopefully when i get off work the main ones will be answered so i can start. i have been dieing to do this for a week lol.
1. i have windows 7, to make things easy should i just dual boot win xp?
2. i want to change the notafication bar but i have not been able to find ware the icons are?
3. I read that i need to sign all the apks i change if i stay with win7 will the program someone made to sign apps work?
4. If i edit the image in the drawable dpi(i think thats the folder) do i also need to edit the XML docs?
5. if i want the rom to install lancher pro by default and set up a custom tray is that possible or dose it have to be changed after you install the ROM?
i know some of the questions might seem stupid but im trying to learn because i really do enjoy tweaking this phone i have been walking around with a notepad all week sketching ideas down as they come to mind so any help would be great thanks everyone.

Enjoy and Thanks ahead of time
+1, I have had a hard time finding enough info to make me comfortable to start editing the 100 or so .pngs in drawable-hdpi.
I have posted this in Themes, but not had any replies, so here goes in Q&A.
I have made a few themes using the UOT kitchen, and following the instructions in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1065789 , I have managed to get the theme in place, and also push one of the boot animations on. My question is, which file do I need to push to which folder to get the lockscreen to work? Is this even possible, or is that part of the kitchen currently only available on other phones?
While I am not an expert, I am not a complete noob either, so I can follow instructions without worrying about bricking my phone!
Any help would be appreciated.
OK folks, please now ignore this post. AndroHero has answered this for me (ie, the lockscreen is for CM7!)

Hi all,
I`got a problem to decompile the stock home.apk.
Everytime i decompile i get a error saying i have the wrong framework installed but i have the right one installed manually.
I want to have rotate on homescreen only 3 screens and 3rd thing 6 rows and 6 cols. I have to change the folder res\values\ i think but how can i get it or better edit it.
Is their anyone out here who can give me a link or a little tutorial howto.
I have had a look at several pages and gave lot`s of promissing tools a go but nothing helped me out .....

Your best bet would probably to ask someone like vr5411 who posted this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519742
