I downloaded a template a while back and edited it to better suit my needs and preferences. The problem is I screwed with the Advanced Parameters for several elements and can't get them back to where they were. I did not save the original ZW file and cannot even remember the original name. I have searched high and low on XDA, Google Play, etc.
Can anyone help me identify the ZW template and tel me where I can find it? You help will be greatly appreciated.

To start off, I want to say I have used the search function. I have been google'ing and searching the entire xda forums for well over 2 days, and i just can't find anything. Maybe i am google/searching incorrectly.
Anyways...
I was wondering if either someone could describe how the CPR file works in terms of tags like FORM, LAYER, etc. (not those two because they are self-explanitory, but along those lines). Also does anyone know what all the possible tags that can be used in that file are? I am sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have searched for tutorials, sdk notes, CPR file structure, everything i can think of, and I have yet to get an actual guide (although I did find a couple of cool Apps to use for customizing CPR files visually)...
Thank you in advance

thank you for the quick response....
guess i need to get better at my searching skills.
Thank you again
Happy to help
I think you get used to where things are too "didn't even search for it"
Hey all. I'm not sure if this question has an obvious answer, but...how on earth do you know what images to change when creating a theme? It took me a while to realize that the dialpad was in the contacts apk, and I'm constantly searching for which image goes with the corresponding image on the phone. Is there an easy way to look at, say, the messaging app, and know which images within the apk I need to edit? It can't be simple trial and error, or I'm sure many of you would've gone crazy creating the themes you've brought here. Please, if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Let me apologize right off the bat if this has been covered before. I googled this everyway I could think of and turned up squat.
Ok, I just finished compiling my first rom a couple days ago and I have a question.
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to add my rom name to the menus within settings?
I have flashed what seems like a hundred roms since starting with my Huawei u8800 all the way to my Note and Note II.
So, I decided to build my own so I can get all the features I love from all the different renditions I've came across.
I have seen many with the rom name within settings and such but I cannot figure out what I need to change to reflect my rom name.
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Build.prop
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific. I wanted to change the title of certain menu items, like (and this is only an example): Wireless and Networks or, Personal or, Accounts, etc.
The build.prop only lets you edit certain aspects within the About Phone page (i.e. name of rom, build date, developer id, etc.).
I found what I was looking for so, I figured I'd post it in case someone else was trying to do the same thing.
This is BEFORE you compile. Afterword, this file winds up in the settings.apk and needs to be edited by unpacking, making the changes you want, then repackaging, and of course resigning.
Either way should give you the desired effect. However, I opt to make these changes before the build process takes place.
Anyway, these files are located in: packages/apps/settings/res/values/strings.xml
There are alot of these strings.xml files in the values folder however, the only one you need to edit is the first one (if your rom is diplaying english that is) as the rest are the same thing only in a different language. Hope this helps someone. Drove me nuts till I found it!
