Here overlay means "change the values".

Here's an example, let's say you want to disable screen rotation by default.This is a sample from cm10's framework/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml :

<!-- If this is true, key chords can be used to take a screenshot on the device. -->
<bool name="config_enableScreenshotChord">true</bool>

<!-- If true, the screen can be rotated via the accelerometer in all 4
rotations as the default behavior. -->
<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">true</bool>

<!-- If true, the direction rotation is applied to get to an application's requested
orientation is reversed. Normally, the model is that landscape is
clockwise from portrait; thus on a portrait device an app requesting
landscape will cause a clockwise rotation, and on a landscape device an
app requesting portrait will cause a counter-clockwise rotation. Setting
true here reverses that logic. -->
<bool name="config_reverseDefaultRotation">false</bool>

<!-- The number of degrees to rotate the display when the keyboard is open.
A value of -1 means no change in orientation by default. -->
<integer name="config_lidOpenRotation">-1</integer>

So you're going to change this line's value to false :

<!-- If true, the screen can be rotated via the accelerometer in all 4
rotations as the default behavior. -->
<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">true</bool>

Like this :

<!-- If true, the screen can be rotated via the accelerometer in all 4
rotations as the default behavior. -->
<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">false</bool>

Then, when you will compile the sources, rotation will be enabled in all 4 ways by default in the resulting rom.

Thank

So I create framework/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml in the device overlay folder and it will change settings during build?

I tried altering some settings by modifying the original files and it didn't seem to have any effect. Maybe I needed the overlay version instead :)

You can edit the build.prop file and change the default theme chooser theme value it's one of the properties toward the bottom of the build.prop file. Make sure to copy the theme chooser theme apk you want to be default in the ROM's /system/app folder. You need to use an apk decompiler such as apktool to (http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/) decompile the apk file, then after you make the changes you want to make recompile the apk using the same program you used to decompile the apk. If it's not a system app you will need to sign it with "Zip Signer" it works with apk files to (https://www.dropbox.com/s/mldk52ba1u1o6ty/zip signer.apk). If it is a system app I would recommend looking at this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24986373&postcount=9. Let me know if you still have questions :).

I have looked in the build.prop file and I can't see anything about changing the theme,Do I need to add the line..?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
On older versions of Cyanogenmod there used to be these lines in the build.prop:

persist.sys.themeId=Cyanbread
persist.sys.themePackageName=com.tmobile.theme.Cyanbread

Where persist.sys.themeId is the name of the theme you want to set as default, and persist.sys.themePackageName is the package name of the theme you want to set as default. You could try adding those lines to the build.prop and see what happens, if that doesn't work you could always extract the image's from the theme chooser theme you want to use and then decompile the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk and replace the images in those two apk files with the ones from the theme chooser theme you want to use, then replace the modified framework-res.apk and systemui.apk files with the default framework-res.apk and systemui.apk files in the ROM. Now when the user uses your ROM for the first time they will see the modified theme you wanted rather then the previous default theme.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I have only done this on CM7 for CM10 you can try adding these lines on CM10 on CM7 here is what I changed in the build.prop:

From:

persist.sys.themeId=Cyanbread
persist.sys.themePackageName=com.tmobile.theme.Cyanbread

To:

persist.sys.themeId=Androidian
persist.sys.themePackageName=com.tmobile.theme.Androidian

Then I made sure that the Androidian.apk file was located in the system\app folder. This should work for CM10 as long as the lines "persist.sys.themeId=" and "persist.sys.themePackageName=" are added to the build.prop.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

I while back I saw this video...i think on youtube. in it the rom had a transition where it looked like you were turning a page when changing screens.

following a thread on here I learned how to extract the transitions from a theme and insert it to my own.

I've been searching for this transition and can't find it. anyone know what rom has it? or of another similar kind of transition?

thanks!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
So I have been looking around and trying different AOSP Roms to see if the internal 7gb memory card is properly recognized and mounted and so far I see that none have figured it out except ruby. I hear koush is working on this problem. How far have we gotten on this problem?

I ask this because in still working on my ROM and the internal memory mount is one of the first problems in going to tackle. I also think it would be a good topic of discussion.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0ckstar323:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
Ok let of be more specific. The internal 7gb card.

Shadow ROM does not feature this ability. I just flashed it to see. Nor does any other AOSP ROM I've tried. Haven't tried MIUI though.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
Alright I'll try. I know how to mount the internal memory but how bout getting the system to properly recognize it in the settings menu and for apps. Seems that that would require source modification to me for the setting app.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidnite:
I'm able to read emmc with both Ruby and Cyanogen 6 (nightly 125). Specifically, I can mount to my Mac without issues, but I can also read emmc (internal memory) with all my apps. However, since I have an SLCD, I had to use Koush's test 2 kernel. The only Vanilla ROM that is not allowing me to read emmc from the phone (I can mount the disk on my Mac) is ShadowROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
Alright. Ruby does have it running. I think I had a boot error the first tme I flashed Ruby... it works. Well the memory does properly mount and have application awareness. However it s still not in the menu. But the issue is only partialy solved. Ill flash mine back over and see what I can do.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidnite:
Which ROM are you trying? For Ruby I didn't do anything special, just the customary wipe data/cache/dalvik. Only for CM6 I had to go through this ordeal of finding a proper kernel to about boot loops. What menu are you referring to?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
It only happened once. I think it was a fluke. Like maybe an improper download.

When you go to settings. Then down to sdcard and storage

SENSE:

AOSP:

That is the menu i mean.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidnite:
Yeah I see that same menu with Ruby, ShadowROM and CM6. That is a bug. However, this is my current status with these 3 AOSP roms

1) Ruby: can read emmc through apps and settings with stock installation

2) CM6 (nightly 125): Since I have an SLCD I had to use Koush's test2 kernel for a successful installation. After that I get everything to work with emmc just like Ruby.

3) ShadowROM: I can only read emmc with Astro file manager. The ringtones and pictures I have in emmc can't be read by Sound Settings (ringtones) or 3D Gallery (pictures).

Again, I really like some of the setting in ShadowROM (i.e. disabling the bootanimation), so hopefully they'll merge the latest CM6 code for their 0.3 release.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
Im where shadowrom is then. I can mount the memory manually. Use adb to push to it once mounted. But usb storage mount only shows the external memory card. Im just trying to get it to memory and read once mounted. I can take care of the settngs menu latter.

I guess my problem now is getting applications to be aware of the manually mounted memory. Besides file managers. Hmm.

hey

how should i know the best version of sbf file is ?

my current flash file is

STR_U2_03.20.1_SIGNED_UCASHLSTABB1B4DEMA039.0R_USASHLSTBRTRU_P012_A013_HWp3_1FF.sbf

but i got little noise on my pictures that i got in the dark place , and my xt720 running little slow , plus discharging fast .

i dont know exactly my cpu clock speed is. bytheway my phone is root and i got many apps on it but when i load some games on it, after close the game it takes few sec to show icones on home page , at first i thought that came from my speed clock and i installed the cpu over clock program on my phone and make that up to 800 and 1000 mhz , but that problem still exist . i wonder how can i fix these problems .

For speed bump install JIT and overclock to 900-1000Mhz. Also you can install Launcher Pro it is way faster then stock Launcher.

for JIT, you have to modify your XT720. just search with google.

For those who do not recognized, it's original StarHub ROM with 550 MHz clockspeed.

I flashed my phone back to SG StarHub ROM last week. After that, I run the update to download and install the 17.9 Mb update. it's bundled with 720MHz module, new QuickOffice app, DLNA, Voice Dialer and new Weather Widget.

after update. it's as same as the latest ROMs available. plus that I enjoy no unwanted keyboards, (and original StarHub logo on 1st Boot :D )

[Fascinate General] Skyeclad:
I don't see many people calling this one out but it's a particularly annoying bug if you have it. The USB Connected message comes one even when you have no plug in. The message cycles on and off continuously. You cannot reboot the phone without a USB powered connection unless you pull your battery.

Has anyone heard if Verizon/Samsung is working on a fix for us? I've been over at the Vibrant forum and they have this issue too but it has been fixed for them in an update they received called JI6.
[Fascinate General] AlgorithmX:
Sounds like you've got a lemon. I've never seen mine do this.
[Fascinate General] Skyeclad:
I'm not sure because although there are some reports of it on the Fascinate, it seems far more common on the Samsung Vibrant. Enough so, that they issued a software fix for it. Check out this thread for more details.

So, on one hand, I do see a few people mentioning this in Fascinate forums, I would think it would be more mentioned than it is if it were a common problem. I might have to treat this like a warranty issue.

Do I have to unroot and restore stock items if I take the phone in for warranty?

Should probably Odin back to stock. If it still happens after a full stock restore, return it.

I am always afraid of programs that will drain my battery.. I am some what new to the android.. I understand killing apps with an app killer program was bad, so I removed "Advanced app killer"

My battery life with the Fresh rom is doing pretty good..

But the fact that I don't have an app killer always scares me.. For example..

I just got that Tikl program that allows a walkie talkie type of conversation..

I keep thinking its constantly running and draining the battery.

Same with Vlingo.. I have the Widget so I can turn it off but if I go into running programs its there..

just becasue an app is still active in the background doesn't mean it's using cpu or battery. One of the best apps you cen get for monitoring this type of thing is systempanel.

The amount that systempanel uses is negligible, and its usefulness is worth it. Besides, once you use it to find your rogue apps, you can uninstall it. Again though, the amount of CPU and battery that it uses are really almost nothing.

Remember, this isn't windows, where things keep running in the background, using up cycles and draining battery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
An alternate to systempanel is WatchDog. It's the same idea. You should really download it for peace of mind. You will see that for the most part that most apps fade to the background if you're not actively using them. I used to use ATK but after using WatchDog to monitor CPU usage I see that the OS does a pretty good job of keeping stuff in control.

In regards to your concern about the CPU monitoring app using too much memory or CPU power, don't worry. It is pretty minimal. In WatchDog you can set how often you want the app to monitor. Alternately you can do a live reading where you see what is draining the CPU at that very moment (well actually in 5 second intervals)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:

Ok cool. First of all, ignore the spikes you see in the CPU wheel. You'll notice that it spikes whenever you touch the screen or scroll. What you want to do is make sure you have monitoring checked off in settings. Then leave it overnight. The first time you use the phone in the morning, the first thing you want to do is go to menu, then monitor, then history. At the top of that screen are your options to view the timeframe and whether you're looking at the graph showing CPU vs usage vs battery, or the top apps. for the graphs screen, if you have high CPU with high battery drainage when there's no usage, then you have a rogue app.That top apps screen shows which apps ate using the most battery/cpu by percentage, and you can tap each app listing for more detail.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EliWay:
OP, I hear you. An app simply running in the background won't exactly kill the battery, unless it's actively using a connection and CPU.

You should be wary of ANY app that requires a constant connection in the background and doesn't use Google's Cloud to Device Push service. Tikl is one of them and one of the reasons why I don't use it.

Even if Tikl or other apps like Fring, tango, and most IM apps use their own private push servers, they are still separate concurrent connections and they all send different keepalive signals to maintain the connection.

Some high quality apps that DO use Google C2DM thus using little to no battery in the background while still allowing you to receive messages:

- BeejiveIM

- Trillian Beta (Free if you search google)

- WhatsApp

- SpringPad (With push alerts and bookmarks)

- Chrome To Phone

- Stock apps such as Gmail and Google Talk

- Any other app that lists "Allow device to send cloud to device messages" instead of just "Full internet access" under Internet Permissions when installing.

Some apps are known to hurt battery life such as:

- Ebuddy, Meebo and most IM apps besides BeejiveIM and Trillian

- Tango Video Calls (Even with latest update)

- TweetDeck with default settings (Checks for new tweets every THREE minutes by default for EVERY column! Insane)

- Twitter , the official client checks for new tweets every 15 minutes.

- Qik, one of the lousiest written apps I have ever seen

Also, read the reviews and test them if you're not sure. It's very unfortunate that developers still seem to ignore battery life. That's exactly the reason why Apple(And now even Microsoft) had to "spoonfeed" them by not allowing them to have deeper access to the system.
