Why do you even want to build a flashable zip only to modify BUILD.PROP file? Just use Root Explorer and edit the file, save it and reboot. You'll see the changes.

Hey Devs.. please give us a hint of how to recompile the -res.apk file cuz we not getting any success.. i have been trying to get this done.. but failing every time... ...

You can try to recompile it, use and learn the tutorial on ApkTool (credits to memnoc) from this link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511730

Thanks for ur response... but i seem to have used all the apktools available... i can recompile the "-res.apk" but when i put it back to \system\framework ... the UI FCs and the notification bar doesnot load.
unfortunately od has stopped. >> is the message i get when i put the modified "-res.apk".
i have noticed one thing that the recompiled apk doesnot have META-INF folder... although i tried to copy it and gave a try but still no go...
what i am trying to do is using a themed apk like lidroid or crikelos res .. decompile .. change some text under the toggle buttons ...
what am i doing wrong... ?

hmm... have you tried setting back the permissions on your modified -res.apk in /system/framework? Mounting it before hand?
If you have, you may indeed try to ask some devs or someone who knows their way in recompiling apks as this is a sensitive matter to touch with and I'm moderately more on contributing stuffs rather than delving into the internal programmings on the android ecosystem.

hmmm.. i have changed permissions as well still... Thanks for taking the time out

Go to apkyool.yml
Edit with notepad++
And below
-1
Add -2
So it would look like
-1
-2
Then compile it lidroid-res again
Also make sure you have twframework-res.apk
And framework-res.apk installed

Only sign lidroid if you have signed every apk in your rom
I normally do this
Decompile apk
Make changes
Compile apk
Go to original apk
Press right
7-zip
Open as archive
Delete res
Delete resources.arsc
Leave the 7-zip archive open
Go to
The decompiled folder
Go to build/apk
Copy all except androidmanifest.xml to the archive
Then its done you have an apk

CyanogenMod for GT-S5830i

Hello guys.
As i know, Broadcom is working with the GSY devs and most probably will release the GPU source. Once the source is out, your device will get CM too. But just to speed up the process, i have started the base of building CM for the cooperve by setting up the device config and makefiles on my github here.
Anyone who wants to go to the next step and extract the proprietary modules and files is welcome to work. Please send me a pull request only when you are sure that the files are correct and up-to-date. Then i will add the files and patches if any.
So lets start building CM. Why wait if we can complete a few things and wait till Broadcom releases the GPU source.

Why don't you post this in the Android Development section?

The Android Development Section is only for development purposes. I haven't compiled CM. These are just the basic config and makefiles. So this is the correct section..

One post dude for 1000 posts

I don't get it, Wasn't the user Qeemi sending the signatures to broadcom/samsung so they look back at us?

Fixed swapped colors in cm7 and cm9 with this patch:
Thanks for the information whitexp.
Based on your feedback, we've noted the following issues with the current BCM21553 CM7 port, and will investigate to see if we can help resolve them:
1) Colors are swapped when using software rendering. There are fixes for this, which involve copying libraries from the stock firmware, but they introduce stability issues.
2) libGLES_hgl.so has many shared library dependencies and does not work with the stock surfaceflinger/libui.
I was able to build CM7, with a couple modifications to your device tree, and replicate the color swap issue seen with software rendering.
We're working on a solution to formally release our software, but in the meantime, we have a test patch to fix the color swap issue without using any additional prebuilt libraries.
To try this, please copy the gralloc folder from hardware/libhardware/modules/gralloc ([-LINK-]) to your device tree and apply the attached patch to use the correct fbFormat for the hardware.
You will also need to modify the LOCAL_MODULE in Android.mk with the correct board name.
Thanks,
David

[Q] Help adding menus to Setting app

Hello,
I've been trying to add a section to Settings, but whenever I recompile the app and push, setting permissions, it to my phone, my device will say "App not installed". I've just added a few lines to settings.xml, and then stated the string on values/strings.xml. It gives no error when recompiling, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

You have to sign the apk coz android won't allow unsigned apk to be the system app. Use signapk for signing the apk file. Its very common tool for signing u can find it in the forums or just Google it.
