Btw sometimes romm will not boot then if so take cm7 kernel
Or stock
And change bootpath
Then if not booting still take logcat

Like when you read - Please test my rom, can't test it myself as mine is at the shop, kinda off-putting for me but some will give anything a try. Nice tut by the way but you don't seem to recommend simulation on PC do you never do this?

Was meaning virtual device using android SDK just as a way of testing a rom. Setting up a virtual device giving it SGA properties and testing. As you may have figured I'm not a dev just a reader and hoper. I got the impression from Jusada's guide re rom making that the SDK was the place to go when developing a rom. But as I said I know only what I read my experience with SGA is entirely as a user.

Its a LOT complicated bro. Even pratyush.creed couldnt do it perfectly(his ROM has signal bug due to this). Requires decompiling and compiling of lidroid-res.apk and Needs certain dev skills. Better use apps like hololocker, lockbot pro, widget locker etc

I can give the source file
Signal bug is from edt tweak itself not from lidroids parts

[Rom-Dev] romname-res.apk what is the use of it?

As I have seen in many custom roms! In the framework folder like in hyperion has hyperion-res.apk.... What are the uses of keeping this file and How to use them... I am developing a rom thats why I am asking these questions... Like in a Lockscreen mod or a Statusbar mod its provided with the hyperion-res.apk but why... How does a rom simply usethat ap? Pls. someone pls. Guide me through this stuff so that I can improve my rom!
My main question is where are these resource apk's defined? Like isit namedin the framework-res.apk or twframework-res.apk? Pls. This Answer shouldbe withtechnosavie, Ganesh A, yash989, CarlDeanCatabay or someone else who knows this stuff And if like someone made a status bar mod for hyperion it contains hyperion-res.apk if I rename it to "rom-res.apk" Will it work? Pls. Provide me an answer!

rom-res file is the toggle file.Whenever you change the the rom-res,you just replace the toggles file with a new one.
"A fool flatters himself but a wise flatters the fool" - Doctor VC

They are used to store res files like icons drawables etc for the rom's toolbox were you customize the rom...

They basically have the lockscreen and quick toggle data.. resources nd layouts

Those are flashable zips!!

actually u can make a theme for launchers with theme support ..

it's possible, but it's the same as building a basic app,
you need to mirror some codes to work for a specific launcher or theme engine,
but if you are asking for the system icons,
then you are out of luck (except CM)

[Q] Theming Galaxy Y

hey guys anyone can help me to provide link to theming galaxy Y ?
- swipe to remove
- Extended Power Menu
- status bar icons
also can anyone of you be my teacher ?
i already read the guides but its just too hard

If someone was to teach you you'd expect the same thing.
Advanced theming is hard since it involves coding within the android system to achieve the desired effects.
So i'd suggest going over it patiently and keep learning as you go, it's not gonna be a smooth step but that's just how it goes, same with programming, no one can teach you but yourself.

what did you mod on the kitchen? if you want to change the batt icons, you need to include the framework-res. Correct me if I'm wrong, im not using kitchen

There are many pngs out there. I am a newbie too. I experienced frustration everytime. But then I am now fully working on it. Just follow guides and comprehend sir.
