Develop Bugs

At the last i made my custom ROM,now comes the questions?

Hello, atlast after 3days of download and work i have made a custom Rom that has my name on it with HTC Desire HD stuff and updates but now what i need to ask is :
1) how can i put my name Rom name in the Notification like RCMix or the others?
2) any easy way to make boot screens or animations or so found but that i can edit or anything?
3) any way to make a custem theme there is only the online thing and sadly i dont knw how to use it or its limited, i want like AuraxTSense is it possible?
4) if i have a update.zip file that has in it an .apk can i take it and add it to the app section and it will work normaly?
that is it for now thanks a lot for all the help i get and links....

To add your own version number, open the build.prop file and add it to the end of the 'Software version' line

To build themes from scratch, I believe that you'd have to rip apart the res-framework.apk.

mmm ill give this a try and see what i can reach but are there tools to change or its just rip and have fun

If you change the .apk to .rar you can extract and see some jpegs and whatnot in their folders. This should be the one to edit.
Then again, these are the things I've picked up from the chatter between the more senior and tech-savvy.

[Q] How to Mod

OK, I have been searching and searching. I can find a lot of places where they post mods but I was hoping there would be a walkthrough for first timers. I would like to start modding some of the apps on my phone. (AKA Widgets transparent or themed). is there a place I can find what files contain what images for HTC Sense? when I was playing with modding in windows mobile sense I found a lot of info but I can not seem to find too much here.
I believe these are the steps:
1. get apk
2. unzip and change images
3. repack apk
4. copy apk to /system/app
I am not sure how to repack a apk yet (any pointers would be great). I am not sure I am suppose to get the apk from the system folder or from the website? by copying it to the system folder is that enough? or do I have to install it?
Any little pointers would be great.
Thanks,
SoBBie

Question to app programmers

What is the reason behind naming apk "com.WORDHERE.APPNAMEHERE" is there a certain pattern to follow for this? Thank You!

Thread moved to Q&A.

It defines the namespace for your app. Usually it is a reversed version of your domain name. For instance, my domain is webosnerd.com, so my packages are com.webosnerd.appname. I think it's a Java thing.

It all has to do with the way the file system is set up. If u look in the apk after its recompiled in the smali files Ull see a set of folders...first one will be com then the folder inside of that will be the com.here then the folder inside of that will be next like this com.here.next. meaning if u were looking in on ur computer it would look like this com/here/next. Its a way of calling files

thanks for the help guys! i'm gearing myself to make my first android app... or maybe i'll start with themes. Thanks!

Yes, it's a Java development pattern / best practice. Android apps are written using the Java language so most developers follow Java best practices when they develop for Android.
As to WHY it's a best practice: The .apk is just a .zip file that makes it easy to move the app around. The Android Market only has to keep track of one .apk file instead of the thousand of files that actually make up the application. Once the .apk file is on the device it is inflated back into a set of files/folders. When it does the unzipping, dots are replaced with /'s and we end up with something like:
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberOne/FolderA/file.jpg
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberOne/FolderB/file.jpg
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberOne/FolderC/file.jpg
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberTwo/FolderA/file.jpg
/com/SuttCo/AppNumberTwo/FolderB/file.jpg
As you can see... both SuttCo apps share the /com/SuttCo/ directory.
tl; dr; It's so things stay organized.

[Q] Ringtones path

Hi all!
First, I'm registered now with pleasure because I like this forum, congratulation!
Now I ask for a problem with my Galaxy Note 2 N7100 with "Pacman 23.0.0 with Halo":
I created the famous directory to contain all my personal ringtones, and after reboot, I can't select any my personal mp3 sound because see only the system sounds.
Follow all my directory structure/tests:
Code:
/sdcard/ringtones/
/sdcard/media/ringtones/
/sdcard/audio/
/sdcard/music/
I try to insert an optional external sdcard but never change...
Something wrong?
Thanks
Regards
Daniele

If I'm right it should be
sdcard/media/ringtones/ -> for your ringtones
and
sdcard/media/notifications/
and so on...

Thanks for your reply, with S. Google I've been found, more or less, the same information but never work for me.
I thinking to edit some configuration file to change the environment variable path for media folder but this is only an idea and I don't know the right config file to edit.
Another work-round could be create a symlink.. I know move in a linux-like system but not know enough android..
Can some expert confirm or deny my idea?

Change Mi A1 camera watermark manually

This is Vasu Netha and What's going on everybody!!
Here is a short demo on how to change default camera watermark to your own.
Requirements
Rooted device
Root explorer (any of your wish, like es file explorer)
Any image editor (I recommend Adobe Photoshop in your PC. Or else any mobile image editor like picsart may work)
Some Patience
Step wise Instructions
give root permissions to your file manager (In my case, I used es explorer)
Navigate to System/etc/ and find dualcamera.png file
Copy the file and paste somewhere else in your device (for sake in storage/emulated/0/Download ). We are going to use it as a reference image on which we should work later
Open the file u saved (in this case in Download folder) in Adobe Photoshop or whichever editor you like.
This is where actual purpose comes in, put your creativity in it and edit the image as you like.
*Important notice DONT CHANGE PICTURE SIZE OR RESOLUTION & SAVE THE IMAGE IN PNG FORMAT
Rename the file to dualcamera.png
Copy your edited file and paste it in system/etc/
Overwrite the existing file and change the permissions to rw-r--r--
Voila!! you have done it
Reboot your phone, open the camera app, enable watermark & see the changes
Hit thanks :good: if it works for you
Check my custom watermark in the attachments section.

Any example of the watermark you have created?
