I know it's possible because manufacturers are able to add custom UI sounds to the OS but I'm yet to locate the files to do so. I want to be able the default sounds that my phone came with like the Charger_connection.ogg and the Power_On.ogg which custom devs seem leave out of their builds for some reason.
Any help on this topic would be very appreciated!
Yes... I know i could just add them to media/audio/UI/ but if the OS is missing the code to load these sounds, the phone will ignore/not know they are there for use.. just to clear things up a little
Bump...
C'mon, someone must know..
You mean like iSounds for iOS? It's a little app that adds UI sounds for every occasion. I want to see something like this in Android, but no one has done something like this yet.
OMG I'M REVIVING A THREAD YAY.

Hi iam new to all this, and i try to read so mmany things that i can, but not all is easy to find.
1: When you port a rom from 1 phone 2 another, how do they do it, why is there so many problems with diff aps? If i see CM they seem to get things to work on diff models at the same time, why is that?
2: What does 9 png mean i know that png is a picture extension.
3: Why is it from what i read a pain in the *** to remake aps to another phone
4: I use the new rom with sence 2.1, i really love it, but i would like to remove the names on my aps/shortcuts (forgot the real word for it) like you can in adw launcher, is this possible and how.
Thx in advance, for this site and hopefully answers

As far as I know the hardest thing to do in order to make a custom ROM work is to make all the drivers working. They are usually developed by the hardware manufacturer and are available only as binaries so it is not so simple to make all the system work perfectly.
I know this explanation may not be complete, but I hope I have clarified the basis at least.
Thx, it was what i fugured, so thx for answer
The problems with remaking apps is they are usually for a phone with a higher resolution,so things dont fit properly
Ha ha... you can go read what ogo2 have been doing with the salsa rom on dev side to see what happening. I've been following that thread for quite some time.
Give his rom a test drive. Best way to know this issue is to experience it.
About rename or no name on app, I think it's a launchers function. I just learn that you can rename or leave the short cut blank in "go launcher ex"

1. I keep seeing MIUI roms pop up all over. Could someone explain to me in plain English what exactly it is? From the screenshots I've seen it looks like the iphone...and there are Chinese iphone clones with (an actual) MIUI os out there right? But these roms are android OS modified to look like MIUI, which is a clone of Iphone? am I correct so far?
2. From the posts I've read, it's still buggy as far as GPS amongst other bugs? Also the UI itself has no app drawer and uses the grouping icons on the desktop like IOS? I've played around with the nephews ipod thouch, and it is annoying as hell...you can't just have a nice clean desktop with a few app shortcuts to say cam/mp3/navi and then a button to access the rest of your apps? It's all there in your face with groups of apps/games taking up your whole homescreen? (again unless you download some mod, which has to run in the background taking up resources) ?
If you have used a miui rom I'd love to get some feedback, before I try to flash one...again it seems to me it's trying to clone an iphone, in which case why not just get one?
I wasn't sure about the MIUI ROM's at first. Slowly they started popping up on almost every device. A few friends ran it on their phones and that's what originally got me to flash it. You are correct in that there is no app drawer. Luckily for me I use folders like none other. It was a pain and still is every time I update, but I am patient and take the time. I just make a folder named "apps" and place all my apps in there! BOOM!!! EPIC app drawer action! It really has started to grow on me. I enjoy the ease of customizing all the theme options that's a big plus for me and I never really messed with that too much on other ROM's. Its so simple with MIUI you can't help your self. Its really pretty slick and I have no bugs to report. GPS werks fine for me and that is something I need to werk. Check it out, it might be for you, it might not. Only one way to find out.
Good luck!
Hi there, I'm up to end my GB-blur based ROM, and I'm lacking of this, obviously can't just borrow it from other ROM as base is not the same so, could anyone help me take this mod working? actually know it's as easy as changing sensor status, bue know about framework-res dependence and all that stuff, and it's not a mod that really is as simple as it seems...
so please, anyone who could help me make this work... it'd be just great
No one?
Ive looked before mate but I couldn't figure it out either.

Hi all,
I have quite a bit of developing experience but unfortunately have no idea how building roms works. Since now HALO from the PA rom is open source I was wondering if it has been ported as an APK. If it hasn't I was wondering if any kind folks out here know what needs to be done to port it and if anyone was willing to help. I understand pop up mini apps are not possible, and thats not what I am looking for. I just wanted the chat head style notifications. Also I know there is an app that does this, but I like the HALO implementation better, plus who doesn't like choices.
Thanks.
Just a friendly bump. If anyone perhaps knows how I can email someone from PA or knows any other dev who could help me out I would be much obliged.

I developed this ROM for TF101 2 months ago. So I've some experience with it.
So anyway, Its not ported as an APK file. Don't think all things in Android are an APK file. Its coded by Paranoid Android developers in the Android System. Then the HALO is being added into the Settings app, by modifying and adding some java and xml files in it. Then it need some time to test whether its working or not. If you want to know how the ROM build works, you can just Google for it.
If you want to see their work go to Paranoid Android github. That's the source for the ROM.

Yup, I know it was baked into android and isn't an app, but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could make it a standalone app. But thanks for the heads up, now I know where to look for all the code that HALO uses. I think it may be a fairly comprehensive code rewrite but Its worth a shot.
You might want to try these.

Yup I have seen those, the halo app is an addon that lets you pin apps to halo when you run a PA rom. The second has a very different execution style.

Thats not an app for HALO. That jus selects apps to be pinned n trigered.
And the 2nd 1 looks like halo but is not HALO at all
I know this is rather late, but I have been looking at the code lately and I was wondering if anyone has made any progress or has some deeper insight. I haven't been able to try because my computer is on its last legs and I wont be able to work on anything till it is replaced later.

Hi. I have acquired an iphone 5 clone, model number MF353ZP/A, although I have no idea who manufactured it. It has an iphone theme to it which i want to remove and just have stock android running on it. I have looked but there seems to be no apps or skins running on it giving it this theme so I'm thinking I will need to reload Android to get rid of the current OS completely. I am also pretty sure it isn't as easy as that so have come on here to basically ask how! Any help appreciated, I just want to see/run a normal android environment on it but don't know how to. Thans, Steve.

Unfortunately Android doesn't work like that. You can't just reinstall the OS and it come out with no skin. Without knowing who made it or what firmware is being used then even trying to make changes like this could end up in a brick. Your best bet for the time being would be to just install a 3rd party home launcher like Nova, Apex, Go, etc.

Something like that app will help narrow down what you have by giving you some details on the chipset, RAM, resolution, etc. With that info, it might be possible to see if there are other options for your phone.
