To bake in an app can i just add the signed .apk into system/app/ folder in the actual ROM. zip?
I want to be able to Flash the ROM and be able to have my mostly used apps in there already. Is this possible by just doing that or would it need more scripts for them to be baked in. Please help. I am a noob

Yeah I would pass on doing that. It would probably open the door to too many flamers. What would be good if you made a flashable that would just flash TB and anything else into CM9.
oh ok. i was about to do it xP. so i can just get an already flashable zip then delete its contents other than the Meta-INF and then make /system/app folder and place all the apps i want installed all at once in the /app folder?
aslo, if you know anything about xml files. How can i change the name of the app that is displayed? I believe its in the AndroidManifest.xml? If it is how can i edit it?
What EXACTLY is decompile? is it just another word for extracting?

That should work. Try to find one that mounts system otherwise you will have to mount system in CWM before flashing.

Randomking I think had another app but it boiled down to the same thing, same interface basically.
Nononono you don't need eclipse at all unless editing source code. You must use apk multi-tool. Eclipse is very useful but in this situation use apk multi-tool and notepad++

Ive been trying to learn more about this myself.. Like how to edit .9 images and xmls. I have been searching for guides and just going by trial and error but it seems like im at a dead end.. Cant find enough info to even get started. Editing png files with paint.net is easy, but if anyone could point me in the right direction for a place to learn how to go more in depth with xml and .9s, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have watched that video, I'm more looking for ways to do things such as transparent notification pulldown, theme the menu (selections, over scroll), theme the dialer, etc.. That would be awesome if we could get some help with this! I would be willing to throw a donation to you if I could get a better understanding of how to start.

This is my first attempt at a MOD for a ROM. It is for CM9 and is an abstract background for the system menus. It wont work if you use a theme from the theme chooser in CM9
DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!!
I have only tested it on SGS2 CM9 Nightly 706 so far.
I am going to look at changing the background for the dialer too and also will include other abstract backgrounds when I become a bit more au fait with how to do it.
EDIT: Added dialer background
EDIT: Added another

Hello Everyone,
Last time I faced with that problem to. All I was needed I found here so thank You for sharing information and fix. :good:
Because it wasn't working when I did changes in build.prop and I don't like flash unknown files (version, source)
I did some research and there is result. All what You need is:
1) change line in build.prop
from:
Code:
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp
to:
Code:
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage
2) add value:
Code:
android:allowMassStorage="true"
in framework-res.apk/res/xml/storage_list.xml
where oryginal line look like this:
Code:
<storage android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard0" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:primary="true" android:removable="true" android:maxFileSize="4096" />
after change look like this:
Code:
<storage android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard0" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:primary="true" android:removable="true" android:allowMassStorage="true" android:maxFileSize="4096" />
After that You'll get another option in storage configuration panel.
Tested on my Sony LwW, CM10 FXP203. :victory:

Most of the fonts are converted by C7M's tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251745
Please,post the fonts you wish to be converted as ttf or otf files here or link to them. I also can resize them or apply effects like bold.
If you are running a gingerbread powered device,please,let me kindly know. Because then the font app has to be customized accordingly.
I just started creating an app providing the fonts (my favourites for the beginning). You only need to install this app, then you got a lot of fonts to choose in the display settings.
I am going to add your favs of course. So just tell me which I shall add additionally. The app is called pauldiddy fonts and it is attached to this post. It is going to be updated occasionally.
