Creating my 1st theme

Well I am now finally going to create my first theme and I am getting myself pretty familiar with everything but I had a question...
I know the stuff that cannot be messed with and all seeing as how I am working with the cm builds but would anyone know where I could find the terminal stuff. I wanted to change up that icon if I could to something a little more theme filling?
Thanks in advance and as soon as I get something going I will posts images.

brilliant - i for one look forward to seeing you work.
but sorry, can't help you with your Q.

Terminal stuff?
/apps/term.apk has the terminal app 'stuff'
All you can change images wise is the terminal icon basically.

Are you just wanting to change the terminal icon (such as in the drawer?)
If thats the case, open the apps folder in your ROM and find the term.apk and open that. navigate to the drawable folder and the icon is in there.

Thats cool. Thanks for the confidence boost on creating...

Yeah pretty much just the icon...And thanks all for the help

Question...yet again...
I am using the auto signing program and am signing my little beta theme for testing and when I am loading it via the recovery mode I get E:Can't find update script. I am still new so if any help I would appreciate much.
Also should I include the fonts folder just as a precaution. I am not including that in my theme as I know there is the font chooser program out there as well so I figure let people have there own choice in font...again thanks

Yeah you need an update script, which will be found at /META-INF/com/google/android/update-script
and should look like this:
Code:
copy_dir PACKAGE:framework SYSTEM:framework
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
or something along those lines.
This script is assuming your zip file contains the following structure:
/framework
/system
/system/app
There is a simpler one that only needs to contain the second line and has the structure like this:
/system
/system/app
/system/framework

Here is a completely blank update.zip that has a proper update script in it, drop your files in re-sign, and go.

Thanks so much for the download and the help.I should be good to go now so no more worries.

So far what I have for my first
So the screen below shows what I have so far...I am still working on it and hoping I can get the blur transitions into the mix as well as maybe more or better icons...If anyone has a link where I could get the blur transitions from feel free to send my way.

Same problem. Even with the update script in there from the template update folders, I still get this error. I seem to have the resigning working. Any idea how to fix this error?

[Q] OMG aria2c (cli multipart downloader awesomeness)

I tried to compile this multiple times but there was no way to include the libs in the binary (like the config option for busybox). Now its here and I'm pumped.
Some of you who use linux might know what this is. The instructions say to place it on the data partition in androidterm's /data/data folder (settings/cache of installed apks are here). I went ahead and placed it in /system/xbin...
What can this do? Its like wget but you can use a cookies file to dl from places like hotfile.. resumable downloads.. and best of all.. multipart downloads.. it also handles torrents, but I have no plans to use that function.

Btw.. sorry if double post.. I'm on tapatalk.. I doubt its a double post tho..

I have no idea why froyo appears in the zip file.. but since it has nothing to do with android (java) and more to do with the underlying linux system its safe to say that this works with all versions of android that have term emu.
I also compiled unrar binary for arm and it works with no problems.. this aria2c build just so happened to say froyo in it.
Btw. I too am on CM7.

Sweet. Thanks again.

No problem. Heres the unrar binary.. It seems to be faster than the gui version in the market.. It also has the added benefit of being able to extract from and write to anywhere you choose..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015814

This is fantastic, I was just thinking today that I wished aria2 were available for ARM
Thanks for posting this.

Ok for anyone hesitant or having trouble getting aria2c to start a multipart download. Here's an example.. downloading a 720p trailer of captain america.. and attached is a picture of the madness that is hspa+
aria2c --split=80 --min-split-size=1M --max-connection-per-server=16 --user-agent="QuickTime/7.6.2 (qtver=7.6.2)" http://trailers.apple.com/movies/paramount/captainamerica/captainamerica-tlr1_a720p.m4v

Btw.. I couldn't rotate the pic.. as I'm on my phone.. hence the pic itself.. not at a computer to rotate it right now.. I'm sure you'll all suffer a little from tilting your heads.. sorry

And now...p7zip for android.
http://home.comcast.net/~ibladesi/p7zip.tar.bz2
This is a bzip2 tar file.. uncompress in the system directory and it will extract files where they need to go.. otherwise you'll end up with two directories.. xbin and lib..
So. Mount system as rw
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system/ -o remount
cd /system/
cat /path/to/file/on/sdcard/p7zip.tar.bz2 > p7zip.tar.bz2
#the above is used versus 'cp' to avoid retaining sdcard privs
tar xjvf p7zip.tar.bz2
Try it out! It extracts and compresses many file types.. more flexibility than the default busybox unzip too. Has a benchmarking mode so you can see just how terrible your phone is against your computer.. and.. Still can't get the rar module to load.. but I think its there.. rar as in compress!

Hello guys. I see many of you struggling to find the new compatible version of TWRP that actually works with the new version of JellyBean 4.2.
The issue can be reviewed HERE
Elaborating the above issue in simpler words; it's all due to multi-account stuff in Android 4.2. There's a file called .layout_version in /data partition, when you factory resetted your device using the recovery, the .layout_version file was also wiped during factory reset process as the recovery is supposed to wipe /data (ofcourse excluding the /data/media/ partition as it is the sdcard) partition in this process. So when Android sees that there's no .layout_version file in /data partition it moves the existing data from /data/media/0/ to /data/media/0/0/ and thus forming an infinite loophole of data being moved to other locations at every reset.
So TWRP team came up with an easy solution, that is; not to wipe .layout_version when user executes factory reset command.
There are also many other bug fixes regarding backups and fixing permissions!
You can download here the latest (2.3.2.0) version of TWRP which fixes this bug:
DOWNLOAD
//Thanks to unforgivenmercy for pointing this out: you can also use Goo Manager app from Play Store and flash it by tapping the 3 dots at the top right and then tapping Install OpenRecoveryScript.

How to define the path of an external card

Hello
I installed an application that gives me the option to install its database on a path of my choice.
So I would like to install it on the external memory but I can not set the path to the external memory.
Knowing that the default path is / sdcard / My application. This makes the database to be installed in the internal memory.
I tried /storage/extSDCard/ but I get the message 'no such directory'.
My phone is S4 mini Duos i9192
thank you

Please help me

Install a file explore such as Root Explorer or cyanogenmod file explorer. It will show you the path.

the path in root explorer is: /storage/extSDCard
but when I put this path in the application I get a message of error.

Ok, how about create a folder and point to there? Example create a folder called "Myfile" than use /storage/extSDCard/Myfile/ <-- give it a shot. If it still not working, them it most likely the app itself or Kernel/rom related issue.

I did so but it didn't work
I need someone who has galaxy s4 mini and try himself on his phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tool.offline.translation.dictionary&hl=fr
In fact the application is small and looks like 'google translate'. I can move the application to the sd card without difficulty.
the problem is that once the application is installed, I have to download language packages which are a bit big.
By default, the application installs these packages in the internal memory. But it gives me the option to change the path to another directory.
What I seek is to define a path that will allow the application to install these packages in the external sd card.
thanks

Are you on official kk ROM? You need root and sdfix
For me it's working (cm11) use the path
/storage/sdcard1/xxxxx
I think on jb 4.2.2 should be the same

The workaround i could think would be to use folder mount and root and its very useful not only on this app

Help Mounting Remote Samba/CIFS Shares (persistent)

So basically I'm rooted and Busybox installed trying to use XBMCTORRENT and getting the unmounted shares error
So trying to mount my remote shares using this command while adb shell and su:
mount -o noperm,unc=\\\\192.168.0.21\\putsharenamehere,username=putusernamehere,password=putpasswordhere -t cifs none /mnt/obb/nas
I get this error ermission denied
Also tried a lot of apps like CifsManager and Mount Manager but none of those worked either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
