i have a few questions which after a lot of browsing also i cannot understand..
1) you know, all that stuff like v6 supercharger adrenaline,activo speeder and so on, what is the difference b/w all of these? which ones should i flash? and suppose it is already there in my rom how do i know about it? many people give different answers but im using blackdroid rom so along with that if anyone knows anything?
2) I recently found a rom whose font i really liked. if i wish to add that font in my current rom how do i do that? please keep it simple because i couldnt understand anything in other threads.
(PS to use font changer root do i need to extract the font from the rom?if so how?)
THANKS!!
v6 is available for just a few ROMs and setting it up isn't easy for novice users. If you have adrenaline engine, you can't flash anything else, because it gives bootloop. Activo is friendly to other scripts, so it's a choice for anybody who has no idea what should give bootloop.
For the font: wait for someone else, because I never change fonts
to change fonts all I do is use root explorer then goto system/fonts then replace DroidSans.ttf (this is the main font used by android) with the font you want to use and make sure you rename it to DroidSans.ttf and set permissions. you can also change all the fonts this way but just make sure you rename them and set permissions.. . do a nandroid backup just incase then reboot.

If you want to know if there are scripts in Rom write to developer
In v1 of BL Rom I didn't add any scripts like this, but in v2 (you can find changelog on my thread) I added some useful
---------
You can also check it by looking in to system > etc > init.d folder

Why would you want to add apks to the system? not like you'll be distrubuting the rom is it? so the answer to that may be pointless...
The wifi thing - hmm, possibly unless the rom specifies that it has N enabled..
Fonts - I don't believe you can, I think you have to use an app from the market like FontChanger to change fonts.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong,

well i want to remove some coz i dont use them and add those i use.
and yes i manualy correct wifi setings and is working ok
fonts <- by the way question
Well you can certainly remove some from your system folder and add apks no problem, sorry, I misunderstood, that is fine, you can remove specific ones, taking care to not remove any "core" apks... dialer.apk for example..
For fonts you can download an application called FontChanger from the market, that allows you to use different fonts you can download from websites (www.dafont.com for example) and use these as your standard font

Yes he is right. You can not install new fonts by copying them into font folder. Have to install Font changer.
Hi Ladies & Gents
Just wondering, does the these build.prop tweaks work for the Note?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588439
- In particular the network related ones?
- If they do is there a reason why are they not included in the stock build.prop?
Thanks for helping me answer these questions
Bump any one?

1.yeah build.prop tweaks does work.There are mant tweaks like making H/W UI rendering,making jpg quality 100%,increase the sppet of browsing by increasing the buffer rate etc...Yeah the network one works.And I have implemented some tweaks to my rom too...
2.Stock roms doesnt contain most of the tweaks/mods seen in custom roms...Thats what differentialtes stock and custom roms....
Thanks for the response! I'll give it a shot and see
BTW: just a note guys if you edit the build.prop in es explorer make double sure you change the settings of the file back to rw-r--r-- or your going to get a nice black screen on boot!

You may use this way:
1.pull your build.prop from /system to your pc
2.open it in notepad++
3.Edit the file.you may copy paste from the thread in op
4.make a cwm zip
5.flash in recovery
No need to worry about perms...
I've seen this question many times during last few days and even got a few PMs also regarding this and answering repetitively is tiresome and not so creative so thought of creating a thread specially for this, Nothing new, no rocket science but helpful, hope you find the same
Recovery Method
Download any one of the font
Goto CWM
Select Mount and storage
Mount System
Flash the downloaded File
ICS Roboto Font
Gingerbread Stock Font
Other Flashable Font files along sample can be found here
Font changer Method
Install Font Changer from play store
put the desired fonts in the folder .fontchanger created in the root of your SDcard, open the app and apply the desired font.
usually I use second method. coz its easy for any fonts. no need to search for flashable zip and original font can be backup for further use.
try rom toolbox
I think it doesnt work on ICS ROM
I see on system/fonts and few font files was linked to "roboto font",,even I change with CWM/Manual(with root explorer) it doesnt works mate
I like use SonySketch fonts

I believe what OP mean in this thread is only for MoKee OS. And also as he said, the zip file attached to be flashed is an answer of some people who ask him how to make roboto font as default font.

Is this safe ?
I wanted to ask if this is completely safe cos I've had bad experiences everytime I tried tampering with my device. Also do these methods work on gingerbread ??

As far i know this should work on any gingerbread rom, but on ics or jb you need to create metadata for changing the font as their symlinked to the rom. Cmiiw

You need root to replace system apps, and some file explorer that allows messing with root files modding systemui should do the trick btw.

Try NinjaMorph and MetaMorph Android App.
But you must have battery icon pack.
and other icon pack like signal.etc
you want to change.
The simple and fastest Using UotKitchen but Work Online.
You must copy your systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to sd and transfer to your PC then upload via internet connection.
You cannot using UotKitchen. if Full you must wait.
The best way is change systemUi.apk to systemUI.zip exctract and change every icon you like to change but make sure image file format and resolution size is same. (edit this if you want change signal.etc)
Note: Your systemUI(Notification/Stat bar) force close after doing this and work normally if you reboot your phone.
Same if you want edit framework-res.apk
(edit this if want to change batttery logo.etc)
after finish zip again and rename file extension to apk.
and how to install it?? you can push it via rootexplorer & root browser. to system.
Dont forget to change permission rw-r-r
Note: Risk to push framework directly to system/framework because if push direct to your phone can make your phone soft brick/bootlooph.
why bootlooph because you cannot change permission.
then How to push ?
simple and tricky.
move your mod framework-res.apk in system/(here) set permission rw-r-r
then after that push to system/app
just replace your old framework .
automated reboot after doing this.
then finish.
second make flashable.zip
All of this 100% safe if you not make a mistake.
Big problem if fail only bootlooph or soft brick.

Decompile SecLauncher2.apk and change parameters in dimens.xml in res/values-sw399dp. Compile and push to your device.

No, I will not make a tutorial how to decompile/compile apps, change values in files etc.
Why? Because they all here in XDA - in many different forms and versions and "granularity". And I do not have the time for making the hundredth one right now, sorry.
And if you are really a Noob there would be many many questions from you more.
I searched myself and learned by reading and trying. It is not so difficult - but of course you have to put some energy and time into it.
If you want to change system files - learn. If you do not want to - use what is provided.
By the way: if you make icons bigger you only might get 3x3 or 4x4 on the home screen. Is that really what you need?

you could use "giganticon" app from the playstore
it won't change the icon size in the app drawer but you can put the huge icons on the home screen instead
Donno if this is what you are looking for....
Well, download the apk of the launcher and open it. You'll find a folder called res/values-sw399 dp. In that edit the values in the file dimens.xml and set the values you want. And recompile it. How To recompile, change values in that .xml file, you can search these processes individually.
Can't Understand!!!
