Never messed with it. This would be my first foray into that. Ive been reading up on it but since im not really a dev most of the stuff goes over my head.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No worries dude, feel free to ask questions here, PM me, or you can gtalk me if that works best for you and I'll answer any questions you may have :good:

can someone answer a ? for me ..... when building a rom (2 part ?) MODS first or themeing: can someone help me with adding custom icons in the notification bar like this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/50472051/Screenshot_2013-02-16-19-39-52.png
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
The custom icons are going to be swapping out pngs.....

SPRINT GS3 FAQ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steelers_exe:
like flastnoles said, its just a matter of replacing the pngs that it already has with yours. you just have to find where theyre being drawn from. for example, this is where the wifi signal pngs are being drawn from in the rom im using:

\system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi\

so id just replace the pngs already in there with the ones of my choice, and then rename them accordingly.

Dows anyone know anything about "Rom Control" for settings contr I l

More specifically, how to add it into my rom. Id like to add a few mods but I need that first. .. I think.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
This is true. Make sure you decompile your. ".9.png" images prior to theming them and recompile them with the. 9 image compiler i have linked in the OP. I also highly suggest that if you plan to edit/modify anything to the apk's xmls or smali that you compile your mods before you theme the apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cosmic Phoenix:
I want to know how did any of you developers get your start? I love technology and have recently started school for computer programming. I'm very curious about computers and smartphones and how they work and how people create software/programs for them.

My latest obsession regarding android phones are ROMs, I've flashed a few and have become quite interested in what goes into making them work. I've been doing a lot of reading (school books, forums-especially this one) and just want to know how did you get your start?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryke_the_Orc:
Just like that.

Read, read, read, try, fail, repeat. Ask for help when you get stuck. LOL

Eventually you'll get something to work and you'll go, "Wow, thats awesome" :D

At least thats how I did it, and Tim is an excellent teacher:thumbup::D:beer:

I've searched various threads and methods for replacing the splash screen. I've found multiple ways (including the tool listed in op) to replace it on my phone, but nothing on how to include it "baked in" to a rom zip. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I dont think it can be baked into a rom zip, I think its far more internal than that because they start up before even boot animations begin execution

On the HTC devices I've owned for example, splashscreens had to be flashed to their own partition (splash0) if you wanted to change them

So you could have it in the zip...but you'd have to do something like the following in your updater-script:

package_extract_dir("newSplash", "/splash");

It wouldnt be like a file stored in /system/media/ because splashscreens come before even the kernel starts up while the boot animation is playing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryke_the_Orc:
Thank you, this is the kind of info I was looking for.

I'll play around with some scripts to see if I can get it :thumbup:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
That would be great. Post as soon as you've got the goods, man :thumbup::thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Ok i have a work around for this so you don't have to compile it in a kernel. In the OP there's a link to make a custom splash screen. Download the exe to your computer. Then get the image you want, size it correctly and drop it in the batch program. It will make a rfl image to replace your splash screen in a flashable zip. Once you flash it, you'll have your custom splash screen. NOW.. make a nandroid back up. After the nandroid backup is done, go to your computer and pull a copy of the back up. Open the backup with 7 zip and pull the boot.img. Now you have a kernel with your own custom splash screen. Use 7zip to drop your custom kernel in your ROM! Done! No Linux needed. Oh and don't forget to always check the OP for new tools and tricks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryke_the_Orc:
Awesome thank you Tim, you're the man:thumbup::D:beer:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Interesting...I'm only familiar with making splash screens for HTC devices, and on those its stored in its own partition

:thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Ya on Samsung its stored as a parafram.rlf image compiled in the kernel itself. Try it out C Nexus. Pretty cool mod/work around i came up with using the splash screen creator. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryke_the_Orc:
So I'm guessing I follow the instructions that use terminal emulator to get it on my phone and not the exe linked correct?

That looks like it only supports htc devices.

I know its a rather noob question but I've never messed with the lfs before and don't want to brick myself LOL

Edit- nevermind I forgot about hellcats splash screen changer

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
No. It's a exe ( windows program). You need to make the flashable zip on your pc. An updater script for android will flash on any device, which is why people have bricked on international ROMS. Ive tested this. The splash screen creator was made for Samsung devices and since Samsung packs their splash screens in their kernels universally it will replace the splash screen on any Samsung device or kernel. Make the splash screen zip on your pc. Then transfer the zip and flash it. Remember that this zip that the splash screen creator makes ONLY replaces the splash screen and modifies the current kernel youre running. So for example if you are running ktoones kernel, it will be ktoones kernel still with a different splash screen. So if you are planning on using the kernel in a ROM, flash the kernel you intend to use in the ROM first, then flash the zip you make with the splash screen creator, then make the back up and pull the kernel/boot.img. , Then drop that kernel in your ROM zip.

The zip that the splash screen creator makes only MODIFIES your existing kernel you're running. It does NOT make a new kernel, copy of your kernel or flash a kernel. It only MODIFIES. That's why if you want to include it in a a ROM you need to make a nandroid back up and pull it from the back up. Ive had problems using ADB to pull the kernel in windows. You can pull it with linux tho.

Honestly, I only got the s3 because of financial issues. There are plenty of excellent developers here, and competition between devs and teams here is high.. I personally would have gotten the NoteII had i had the money to do so at the time. Plus we need another reject over in the Note II forum. I would suggest getting the NoteII if you could afford it...:)

Anyone have any idea how to get the touch with launcher to rotation??? There are a fer guides but none seem to work for me. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Make sure you have auto rotations checked in settings after you make the mod. Go to framework res/res/values/bools.xml change allow all rotations from false to true. Change allow lock screen rotation from false to true. Recompile. The home screen won't rotate. I'll have to check into how to make the home screen rotate. But everything else will rotate 360°. Don't allow reverse rotation. It makes the camera reverse the picture like an upside down mirror image. . Any open windows, apps, and lock screen will rotate 360 tho.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timmetal6669:
Actually it's different on the s3. The home screen doesn't rotate when you edit the bools.xml. completely opposite is true on the s2. The original question by dutch was asking if there was a way to enable the rotationon the home screen too. I haven't had a chance rt o look into that yet. But the all rotations mod on the s3 doesn't make the tw home screen rotate so you should be good

Try some other gallery app. There are so many of them in the play store.

About the notification bar, it's not simple how you change it, you should edit the systemui apk. Search around the forum for the guide.

can i ask what mean is OTG?see many people say it and dont no what means~
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Kreaz:
Good thing you're not asking about "will USB OTG supported in our device?"

According to Wikipedia (which actually you have to search regarding to Rule 1 *unless if you are too lazy to search for it*)

USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host, allowing other USB devices like a USB flash drive, mouse, or keyboard to be attached to them.

So, you can make your device as a host (like a computer) and if you attach something to your phone, it will be read as external partition. (CMIIW, as this is what I got)

It's a german phone, not brandet and i baught it in august 2012.

This is the Product Nr: GT-I9100RWADBT
