When a call comes in, you get the green android fellow show up and when the call is picked up, same guy stays there. How do I get to change this image? I know I can edit a picture for a contact but it is a pain to do this for several contacts in the phone. I tried to edit google contacts but there also there isnt a way to do a bulk update. Any pointers?

If you want contact pictures, you can do Facebook sync.

Anything other than this suggestion? The background should be an image file located within a system folder. Right? If we replace that file with something that we want, then anytime a call comes in, we will get the picture of our choice rather than the green android guy. Is that not doable at all?

How do you build custom roms from cm7/cm7/stock?

What knowledge does it require to make a custom rom?

What does an actual rom consist of?

What can rom makers actually change in the releases they base their rooms on?

I'd like to start making roms and I know some Linux command line but I don't know any programming so where can I start and is it difficult?

Thanks

I am having problems with all of the screenshots showing up in the XDA forums. I am talking about XDA Premium on my GS2.

Let's say someone posted a new ROM with screenshots of what it looks like. Normally, as you scroll down the posting, the images of the screenshots will pop up. That doesn't happen for me. I get a small box where the image usually goes, but there is nothing there. I am on my home wifi, so it's not a bad data connection. Any help would be great... Thanks a million!

I used hasoons tool to root my amaze 4g. I'm going to be completely honest and tell you that I did not watch the instructional video because it said it was noob proof. (I know what your thinking) I thought I would just follow it section by section and it would work. I have a telus amaze 4g which was recently updated to ics. I unlocked the bootloader and figured the next step would be to flash a kernel, which I now realize I didn't even have to do, and did that. Ever since my phone has been stuck on the htc boot screen. I have searched and researched until my brain hurts and can not find out how to fix it. I found a link that said "guide to fix htc amaze soft brick" but the link did not work. Please help me. signed idiot noob.

Sadly, nobody understands that everything underneath "OPTIONAL" is not required.

If it is not needed and you don't know what it is, you don't need to do it unless told otherwise.

Now, to solver your answer, relock your bootloader and flash the stock RUU for the Telus Amaze.

I will not link you the RUU because I want you to do the rest. I gave you the steps. Go on from there. :)

Oh ya, wrong section. Should be in Q&A. Plus we already have a million threads about this. lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Wrong forum for starters.

The steps are:

Unlock bootloader

FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY

Flash Superuser

Flash ROM

Flash Kernel

You obviously missed a step. Now u need to learn fastboot commands or flash a stock ruu in bootloader.

All instructions for those are in these forums. Time to read :D

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] infinitelink:
Hello!

I have a Galaxy Player 5.0, and I am interested in changing the build.prop file to indicate to the App Store that it is a Galaxy S phone. I would like assistance with that, as well as any answers to the following questions:

1. Risks?

2. I have some commercial apps, and would like to avoid changes that might remove data they rely upon to confirm they are activated (read "paid for"). What do I need to know/do/do-I-need-to-be-slapped-silly?

3. Any ideas as to what data in the build.prop file is often used for purpose of activating (indicating are activated) commercial apps, such as for applications like Sygic, that I should also back-up in case of need in the future, such as with a ROM or Android OS upgrade that might break them?

I just figured-out rooting, (heck, and before that, just figured-out what the different USB modes were in order to make Kies work), then had to work-around the apparent inability of Windows to browse the system in any mode (used Android Commander by PanPiotr), so please forgive how green I am in regards these things: I was on Linux forever and avoided messing around with the GP 5.0 due to old recommendations about updating firmware to the latest before doing this or that, and given I couldn't run Kies, I wasn't sure how to do it at the time.

I will post more info upon request, as I am not really sure I know what info is necessary. These lines<-- look relevant, however:

I don't know enough to begin to answer your question, but what I do know is the following:

At a minimum, you should read thru this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435617

As stated, if you just change the product model in build.prop, it will probably result in bootloop, as it did for me. Using the build.prop file posted by eng_matt on page 4 worked for me (fixed the bootloop), but resulted in the swype "glitch", and the app I wanted from the Play Store was still considered incompatible.

You may want to consider using Titanium Backup to save your applications and data.

Hope this helps :)

ro.product.model= GT-I9000 is what i put in and didd not give me boot loop
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
To change the model NO. all you have to do is edit ro.product.model. To change it to the Galaxy S, change it to look like:

ro.product.model=GT-I9000

Note that Google market will still see your Gplayer as a 5.0, not as a galaxy S, but most apps (not sure about ones already installed), and websites (hello gameloft!), will recognise you as the modded product.model line.

I like note i might as well root the device

its true, the official update is useless to me. but when the official one comes out, so does the source. and with it comes better roms from devs but also, and more importantly to me....

Ocing this phone will not benefit me in ANY way whatsoever. Already score 3800-4200 in quadrant on this rom. Have full premium suite. Run ANY game at a rate that is super smooth. Get enough battery life to have 4.5 h of screen on with 24h unplugged.

Pray tell, how the hell will official ics help me? It won't.

Quit trying to sound cool and say "oh but ocing!" "oh but this or that!"

Fact is, with current roms the note is hitting close to its maximum potential and there isn't much else to improve.

Actually flash what's currently available before you comment on what the note "will be". It's not going to get much better.

There is a lot more you can do with a kernel besides overclocking after the source is released. It will benefit each of us. I say ICS is useless without the kernel source. It may be good now for the people that have updated to the ICS roms but it will be great after the scource is released. You can say what you but there will be no comparison to the roms now and the roms after getting the source even without overclocking. You must have no idea what your talking about or maybe your just not familiar with custom linux based kernels. The custom kernels is where its at.

Remember this thread and come back to it and discuss with me what's changed.

Not much will.

With the current rom features, things can marginally improve but,for the most part, aren't going to change much.

All I'll say is if you can't watch a video or play games without your phone stuttering, exchange it.

When I was on GB without OC no problems. And now that I'm on ICS, still no problems. My buddy's note is the same way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
I second that

I bet I have flashed / reflashed over 40 times on my note since I got it. Honestly BESIDES the benchmarks you can't tell the difference in real world performance. When I was on GB, I tried the 1.86oc, Got a Quadrant score 3800ish. On ANY ics rom I have flashed I have hovered between 3300-3400.

You can get much more performance out of a phone by just optimizing things like the dalvik cache, and disabling a lot of useless start up crap. The stock AT&T bloatware has more of an impact than most people realize.

I will be happy when source gets released, but I wont be flashing the official release.

This thread is very interesting. to say the least it all comes down to personal choice/preference; some don't need(dont know how to use) root access and are afraid of flashing their devices, others (like myself) DO NOT like bloatware/restrictions that service providers load into the updates/os, so we flash, slash & explore.

For those who want stock ROMs, keep on waiting, it'll be out soon.

For those that want complete control over their device, they already have it (root+custom ROMs).

My Note is not rooted or flashed because just got it a few days ago, therefore I'm waiting to rule out any deffects that might come up and avoid the hassle of reverting to stock. My second phone is iPhone 3gs jailbroken(v4.2.1) works even better than when I first got it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zonyl:
There are more reasons than that..

Samsung has to develop it first and they have to test it.

Att obviously develops, tests, and may hold it back to allow market focus on new device upgrade sales for a certain period. The carriers do what they can to make money and upgrading existing devices isn't exactly a high margin for them.

People buy the note for its hardware differentiation, not necessarily for its version of Android... Att knows this and probably isn't that anxious to spend money immediately on its upgrade.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Well yeah, that's not all that it's about, but it's a software development forum that has a heavy focus on custom software. Yes, we provide troubleshooting, accessory, app, and general info about the phones, but complaining about when stock firmware will be released here is pretty pointless when we can't change anything about when it's released, and we already have super stable leaks that have also been modified. There is no reason to complain when we already basically have what they're waiting for, and there are simple methods to return to stock and do the official upgrade when it is eventually released if they really want to. Tell me one good reason why they shouldn't use what we already have, when what we have is already just as good, if not better than what will be released...?
