Guest jasonleeds Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hey guys n gals. Been here with you crescent people for a while, having a little trouble getting started with the ZTE editing. Now ive got the cygwin sorted with dsixda kitchen, notepad ++ and a ubuntu virtual box set up, although not used yet. Ive been playing with the build.prop and update-script...but to be honest im not sure as to the main things to be looking for. If anyone has a few tips or things to read it would really help Got some free time to kill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest raverrr Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 download a stock rom. and have a play with cygwin :). it pretty much explains itself lol. Or if you have a lot of time to waste stary looking into compiling from source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasonleeds Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 cheers, ill have another go playing with stock What are the main areas to be playing with and what to avoid?? would it be best to get going in linux rather than windows or can cygwin do most things? sorry if this is really remedial, just finding it hard wading through google looking for a good tutorial/guide.

Guest raverrr Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 it depends if you just want to modify stock roms like me or go the full hog and compile from source. have you got cygwin set up? and the kitchen working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasonleeds Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 yea got cygwin & dsixda kitchen set up and running. mainly my plan was to modify a stock rom, add and remove some apks and have a tinker. compiling from source seems outta my range for now. thanks for you help, really appreciate it.

Guest jasonleeds Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 really getting somewhere now, got my rom to boot with new animation and a bit of the bloatware removed, and root added. Where should I be looking to remove the crappy orange launcher and replacing it? is this solely in the framework.apk? Thanks again for anyones help.

Guest raverrr Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 It is in system/app. Look for launcher or launcher 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jasonleeds Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 cheers dude. Well ive almost got done what I want.framwork/launcher/bloatware etc. Couple of things bugging me though now. The first is a pain, all of a sudden the wifi will not obtain an IP...works fine on all other roms, I broke it somehow Second is that crappy orange internet shortcut thing....where the hell does it live? I cant find the little bugger. Will probably post this up once I can get the wifi working again....any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "orange thing" is some kind of widget it will more then likely be in system/app. Compare folders with fish and chips for example to get a better idea of what should be left over after :) Wifi problem could be any number of things you may or may not have done.

Guest jasonleeds Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 its the orange "internet" browser link its bugging me but im gunna try something today. The wifi is still puzzling the hell outta me though, as far as im aware I havent done anything to the wifi. This is somewhat strangely addictive though, so Ill keep at it.

Mite pop something up later today see what people think get some feedback Regarding Wi-Fi, try poking around a bit with ADB. Turn USB debugging on, run "adb logcat" and see what you get when you turn Wi-Fi on. "adb shell dmesg" could also be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasonleeds Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 yea, never even thought of that. < Dumb ill have a poke about, with adb, it all seems good up until it tries to get an IP from the router. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers If it's actually doing a network scan it can't be as bad as the CM9 issues. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
