Hi I was wondering. Could someone provide instructions on how to make build.prop tweaks to increase battery life and improve stability and smoothness??
I'm running the complete stock version of lt6 from sammobile and have rooted using the latest Philz kernel and removed all bloatware and useless crap using titanium.
Just interested in getting into a bit more developmental stuff since I've been trying out a lot of the custom roms and didn't like many of them.
Also is there a way for me to add mods to this stock rom like making it possible to swap apps in the static app drawer at the bottom of the home page and other cool mods???

Switch to AOSP - CM10.1 for better life and "real" development.
"Modding" is not "Developing"
I'm not that advanced!! Just getting into all of this. Could someone please help. I haven't deodexed or anything. Honestly I don't even know how to.
Would someone be able to post insteuctions on what I need to do to make adjustmwnts to the build.prop or init.d to make the stock rom better and also advise me on how to make the mods I mentioned in my earlier post.
Sorry if I've posted in the wrong section. I just thought I'd have more luck in this section since more developers and modders are likely to visit this section.

Just get the stock deodexed from pristine, to make you life easier... on pristine's rom, there are instructions there to tweak your phone. and if you like your games to be smoother,just flash helloworld kernel.
Just my point of view, hope this help....
As build.prop tweaks dont work on all phones or are outdated youd be better downloading a custom rom, extracting it and taking alook at the build.prop.
That will also give you a feel for how roms are arranged/filed.
Also you could download apktool and decompile a few apps and take alook at the layouts etc.
Getting stuck in is the best way imo.
Also you can search for this stuff on xda theres plenty of threads aimed at beginners guides to modding/tweaking

I dont want to sound discouraging, but why does CM7 and MIUI Gingerbread ROM dont have any rainbow? cant we use CM7 Kernel(Kang's version)
coz Kernel is reason to rainbow I think.
Thank you VERY MUCH for your Efforts..

1.It's because we don't have Gingerbread bootloaders.
2. CM7 kernels don't work
I'm confused why people are reposting the EDT ROM with basically nothing changed. Users can uninstall and install app themselves. Same goes for Kernels and Modems. None of the original bugs are solved really so I'm confused why this is the second such ROM out today.
I understand it's a great learning experience but from a user standpoint it does not contribute much. I would love when the dev uses the things he/she learned from this to make something.
PS: hayn_pryde46, this is not directed at you nor is this negative. I am very glad you decided to get into the dev game and hope you will become good at it. I'm just unsure your learning experience should be posted as a complete ROM.
why did you port this if it has like NO difference between mine? i mean seriously dude not cool.
Thank you for the previous two posts. I recently got a thread closed because I stated that the dev section is getting polluted with too many roms, which are all the same with minor changes. Im glad im not the only one

ALL he did was download my rom, and re-upload it with some more apps and a different modem/kernel. NOTHING MORE.
Yeah sorry most 98% files are new from xwjvb I just used the rom as base deleted all the files but their init.d tweaks added new build.prop and modem and kernel got mtp sync to work and maybe debugging and original music player remember reboot problems with whitehawks rom, in which he changed it to miui apk

Literally just came to post the exact thing. It seems to be a trend lately, to the point that it's getting ridiculous. The bugs that exist are pretty big, so how about we either work on those, or sit back and wait for other, more advanced devs to fix them before we start "porting" and call it our work.
I assume you don't have the ability to fix the existing bugs, so that alone should stop you when you go to open a thread for a new ROM that you know you don't have the ability to improve yourself.
I mean, then what? Someone is going to work really hard and eventually fix something, you're going to copy/paste it and call it an update? Just relax on these "ports" for now, they're not needed at this stage of 2.3.3 for the Vibrant.
so you DIDN'T tweak it as it says in your post. You give me NO credit even though you downloaded my rom (which has at least some BIG differences to whitehawks) and just replaced the files that determine the build number added a different kernel/modem and pass it off as your COMPLETE own work. Mine at least fixes some bugs his old rom had (battery drainage, made 3D gaming less sucky). Like cmon dude.

Hello guys my question today is more specific (as I think) so please only specialized guys answer me again please
In the past I used the stick rom for OB it was slow when I asked they told me because I was using the stock rom then they advised me to use cm7 because it's faster than the stock one I used is it's really faster but I lost some advantages so I want to get back to stock rom but its problem is the slow
So you developers what do you do in the Rome to make it faster I'm not developer or so but I mean if I have root with stock rom can I make it faster
By editing system files,apps or settings
So if I can do this please tell me and if no way tell me to continue using cm7

I've installed CM7 because of curiosity but not used. Some other users reports bugs in that rom. Personally i always return to Zeus which is fast enough for me. There are also other roms like suppressed which is basically heavily themed and thin original rom.

I highly recommend you to try Zeus ROM. It's fantastic! You can have all the stock features with a fast performance. Why? Because Huexxx remove all the lg things that don't help us but you can use Gestures, lockscreen and everything else you want with the Zeus app. So give it a try. I'm really amazed since the first time I installed this ROM.

flash your carrier stock rom, root it, and then uninstal all the apps that are useless (at your will), also look for some system tweaks like build prop and init.d tweaks, its a little more complicated but not that much to need to have a masters in Computer Science to add them
there is a thread with the safe to remove apps from stock. search for it with the tag [REF]

there are a lot of tweaks involved in giving a faster feeling to rom, there is also the addition of a better kernel and some tweaks to the governors, but that is a lot of work and a coding knowledge is recommendend.
But with the removal of some bloatware on the phone and the addition of system tweaks a stock rom could see a lot of improvment.
i also tryied to make the custom rom faster by unistalling a lot of usles apps. but it is not the same as the custom rom. my advise to you is flash a custom rom with a lot of tweaks, change the governor to a performance oriented governor (f.e. smartass) and install all the custom rom apps you use. the governor can be change via system tuner (free on market).

You can't make stock rom really fast. All you can do is to remove/freeze some applications that uses your resources and install new faster home application. That's all. Most important things you cannot alter.
Which tweak I can use??
Hi, I would like to know what I have to learn in order to mod the stock kernel of GT-i9000, which last version (linux version 2.6.35) was written for the use in Gingerbread 2.3.6. My intention is to make it work in ICS or Jelly Bean Custom Roms, and then start tweaking and experimenting, but I need the basics first
I'm talking about knowledge specific to the kernel since I know how to make C programs and the structure of the android stack (Watched this someone? It's great!). Where I have to go? Websites specialized in the matter, ebooks to read, docs... By the moment I have downloaded and installed the CodeSourcery toolkit Samsung tells to install in the README file.
I expect to not completely brick my only sgs phone, but anyway I would like to know how to do it
EDIT: I edited a bit my question since I though it wasn't clear enough what I already know.
No one can help me? I don't expect to have the whole story, just to know what I have to learn :/ May be I'm not in the right subforum for this question. Full noob here at XDA xD

Yup but is not because I though there was no kernel. I know there are a lot, Devil's, Semaphore... I just want to do it by myself
No,Good work.:banghead:
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
If you want to create a kernel for ics/jb, you should start with the default kernel of CM9/CM10, as most kernels for ics/jb are based on it. Then you could compare it to Semaphore, devil, ..., to see what they do differently.
So do you guys think the tweaks app would be compatible with the stock rooted ROM? Sadly enough I'm kind of much preferring it over any of the ROMs out there. Just missing the functionality aspects of tweaks.

I think there is a rom called Illuminati that is stock with some fixes and tweaks. Not sure if it has the equivalent of LeeDroid tweaks or not, but it might be what you want. It's pretty much the only rom I haven't tried, as I can't find a download for it anywhere. It's not on XDA, but some other forum, that may involve signing up to even see it. I was too lazy to bother as I am perfectly happy with Holics 1.2.

Yes there is a ROM called WCX ILLUMINATI. The mod version does have similar tweaks. Google wcx illuminati and join the forum to get it. You will need to make 11 posts to download any ROMs.
Well,
Rigth now i have android 4.0 in my captivate, but it has a lot of bugs, with the audio, music, and sometimes just close the app just because!!
I decided to change the rom for another newer, but i don't know a lot of this world, and i have some questions that somebody experiment can easily answer.
When i dont know a lot of what the kernel do for the phone, but do i really need change the kernel?? Because the last time i tried with semaphore but i briked my phone.
If i need to change the kernel, could some body tell me te more stable for android 4.1 or 4.2
Second question.
I want another ROM which one is the more stable and with better performance, i dont want any spectacular, but with a good performance and all working its enougth for me.
And the last one.
How can i save my apps to reinstall all again, i mean i'm working bad piggies and where is may water, and i dont want to lose my levels jaja.
Thanks again for your time its really a lot of help for me.

No need to change kernel.
CM10.0 stable rom. It is 4.1.2 os.
You can read other threads on how to use Titanium backup or other tools to preserve your user data and user apps. Don't try to restore system apps to a new rom, though. if you have given google permission to backup your data, it may already be restored when you reinstall the app from google play.
You will still want to do a full factory wipe, followed by flashing the correct gapps package. you can find all the instructions and links in the CM10.0 thread in the captivate development forum.
If you want to go to 4.2, I've found the CM10.1 nightlies to be very stable. There's a separate thread for it with links, etc.
Thanks for your answer, and thanks for the extra of read my post because my english is too bad jaja.
Another question, why the developers create new kernels if we can work with the same for a lot of roms, i mean what things make better some kernel from another??

Each kernel has its different characterstic, like on can help you overclock your device while some help to give good battery backup and they make our phones more stable

or less stable . .
driving new features or higher performance is often, but not always, accompanied by a loss of stability, at least for a few revs.
imho, the base kernel in cm is excellent for someone whose chief concern is simplicity and stability, without a burning desire to be at the bleeding edge.
that said, the semaphore and others do have some added tweaks that can do just what you said.

I think I should have been more clear in my first response.
When you flash cm10, you will be flashing a new rom that includes a new kernel that is different than the one you have now.
I thought you were asking about flashing a kernel as a standalone, such as semaphore kernel, rather than a complete rom.
When I said you do not need to change the kernel, I meant that once you flash a complete cm10 rom, you do not need to change the kernel.
For a ROM, I highly reccomend sephhi's captivating (4.2.2 with xperia theming and very much aimed at performance and battery life) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057574
This is the answer!!!
Excelent, i really appreciate your help, and i think that now i will flash with CM 10, maybe i will return for more help if i needed, but now nothing can scared me like the first time that i try this
