Hello,
I am working on a little 2.3.6 UCLA3 ROM here and I want to try to bring the NFC and Network Switching settings from the Rogers Base roms over to my AT&T base.
I was able to install the necessary pieces for NFC (I think, the tags app works but asks for it to be enabled) but I don't know how to install the menu entry. I am also completely in the dark for Network Switching. I have done a diff on decompiled SystemUI, SystemInfo, and framework-res between I727R and I727 roms and have not found the right differences.
Any direction would be great, thanks.

Good luck. I asked about the menu entry locations a while back and never got an answer. I hope you can find the answer though, because it would mean being able to use NFC on a stock ROM.
I'm beginning to believe the key is in the framework jar files. A diff between all relevant decompiled APKs between ATT 2.3.6 and boneStock (ROGERS) yielded no significant differences. The key will be in extracting classes.dex, converting to jar, decompiling and then sorting through the 1000s of .class files, oof.

You may be onto something. My theory is that everything is alesdy in place for the skyrocket to use NFC exceft for the menu options. I think once the menu options are installed and linked correctly, NFC will work. The question is, how to get the menu otions set up and in the place they need to be,
Phone.apk controls network switching as far as i know

Thanks man.
I just got NFC ported (well un-disabled) and APM Ported from the I9100 done and working in 2.3.6 UCLA. After I get the trifecta I will release instructions / info / git repos and vanilla cake (maybe on the vanilla cake).

It will be interesting to see how you got NFC enabled. And if it can be done on the stock ROM or not. I'm looking forward to you posting the info. Thanks.

I have it done on my, for all intents and purposes, "Stock" 2.3.6 AT&T rom. Just need to edit some smali code to bring the menu option back and push the Tags.apk to /system/app. I don't have the diff on me at the moment but I will post it up in a new Dev thread.

Wow, sounds great. I assume your stock ROm is Deodexed in order to get to the smali files? This mod will help fill many requests from people on this forum.
And, by Tags.apk do you mean nfc.apk? The reason I ask is that I am running Alien 6 ROM that has NFC, however, I have not been able to test it out yet (others say it is working). When I use root explorer to check System / App, I only see the nfc.apk and not Tags.apk? I was wondering if an additional file is needed? Thanks for everything you are doing.

Cezar has a ROM, Continuum v5 (here). maybe you could download it and extract what you are looking for. Or, just use the ROM
Because most themes IMO are ugly. I personally like the stock samsung with some small modifications. No one does that. I haven't found one rom from the developers that don't screw with the theme. Not everyone likes what you like. The best I can do is download something from the romkitchen with the stock theme and get smart little remarks when I try to ask for help.
http://www.dystopia-zero.net/xxjvb-stock.zip
There you go, dude. Completely stock except for xcal's kernel, 5 lock screen mod, built in ad blocking, overscroll effect and crt off. Also has launcher2, but it seems the icons in the app drawer are fuzzy, so if that bothers you, you might want to set touchjizz as the default launcher.
It also won't flash bootloaders, so you'll need to find the new 2.3 ones somewhere else. I recommend just flashing the stock jvb from samfirmware.com with xcal's kernel, then flashing this over it with CWM.
Maybe wait it out for Perception II? DG ROMs usually have a pretty stock feel to them.
MM do you know where I can find a tut on adding the extended menu and such. I'm interested in the dev part. Just hard finding anyone willing to help you get started.

The one I linked you to has the extended power menu. Doing it yourself is a bit involved.. you have to decompile the .dex/.odex executable with baksmali.jar and edit the code (.smali files), then recompile it with smali.jar and repackage the apk. I don't know if there are any actual tutorials that go in depth on the topic; at least I haven't seen any. It's really kind of a dive-in-and-do-it thing.
If you want to try adding common features like that to a bare rom though, there are a lot of precompiled versions floating around on xda where you just have to replace the .jar file in the proper directory. Just search for the feature you want and chances are pretty high that someone already made a standalone cwm flashable zip of it. Either that or you can try pulling it out of existing roms and popping it in to your own, provided they're based off of the same build of android.
You should check out MikeyMike's rom building tut. It's one of the stickied threads at the top of the general section. It goes over the basics pretty well.
thanks man. I'm going to have to give it a shot. This zip won't work with CWM 3

I am totally stumped here. I have spent the last 4 hours trying to modify stock Mms.apk to ONLY allow 160+ char split messages (but remain otherwise stock). There are other apk's available that fix the split, but they all combine other visual/theme mods... and I like the stock app just the way it is (other than the lack of split).
I don't know what I'm doing, obviously. Mostly I've tried modifying the mms_config.xml file, and the setting I have says it should be working... but it's not. :-( Any tips?
Just for test, I've set:
enableMultipartSMS true
maxMessageTextSize -1
smsToMmsTextThreshold 4
maxMessageSize 307200
(these appear to be the same settings used in the MIUI mms app that work properly there, but not for me!) :-(
Now I am able to send a message over 160char, and it DOES split it into multiple messages, however each message is still gibberish. Aggh... this is driving me crazy.
http://www.theslacker.org/~s3v3n/ns/ns4g/Mms.apk
This gives you the OPTION for visual themes, you can disable/enable the black background; gives a few other options.. but this is pretty much a stock APK to fix the splitting issue
I would try that out, but your post says Deodexed ROM is required, and I'm running Odexed.
Plus I still want to get to the bottom of how to modify the stock mms.apk. :-/
No ideas? Still stumped here.
Bump. Also want to know this.

Could anyone kindly make this feature available as a stand-alone feature...?

Did a quick search and was unable to find any corresponding feature for non-cm ROMs. Just in case you want to try out editing it yourself, or someone with enough knowledge some day spots this thread: you might like to have a look at files at /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars, I think they are used for the phone's key setup.

Wish someone could come up with this mod
I haven't looked through my ROM but this is a feature in Cyanogenmod 7.2 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) i am running this there is a settings panel you can tell the back button what to do upon long press! Maybe it is possible to extract this setting? Im not sure about that as i have never extracted or attempted to extract settings from any roms! But just an idea i figure
could need it, too !!!
Like the title says I'm working on building a ROM of my own. I am new to this but am not stupid. I've looked around the forums and have bookmarked quite a few threads that will help me. My question is, how would I go about putting a custom CWM flashing screen in? Like on Eman..and ZTR where it says Collective, and flashing modem, etc. etc. And if anyone can point me to a better "ROMS for dummies thread that would be great Thanks for any help
Edit: Scratch that question, just found it lol. But any pointers will still be appreciated

For camera I believe you will also need to pull the camera firmware apk too-so you need to put the modded camera.apk and camera firmware.apk in your from (both can be obtained from any of bigfaus roms
For epm you need more than just the settings apk, you also need to replace the frameworks that come with epm (policy.jar, framework-res.apk, and framework-res.jar) I believe that's all you need
As always, if you choose to upload your rom for others be sure to give credit-bigfau for camera, and I'm assuming you got epm from dman so dman for epm

Also for battery mods (and other stuff too) a great place to go is a website called UOT kitchen-just choose your battery mod then upload your frameworks and it will place the modded battery in there for you, then replace your old frameworks with the new ones from uot kitchen
*do this after you have epm set up and running...unless you plan on doing it manually using dmans how to guide*

I think this is the stock kernel. I think we need to grab a working kernel from Xperia Z or Oppo Find 5 since we are on the same architecture.

I tried flashing the roms from the Vegaviet but i had a problem getting my network to connect. after the restore was complete there was no apn settings for the network. I tried reading but the translations from the website but it dont make sense and no one noticed issue because they are not located in korea.

so why not set up your APN? that should be easy.
Also, using the ROM from vegaviet, i noticed the following observation :
-there was a considerable build-up of lag after three to four days of use, especially when doing a lot of web browsing
-the browser is unable to open some websites/webpages due to Ad-Block restriction
-the forced DNS settings most times slow-down my internet connection
-the keyboard still retains Korean functionality, with Korean characters sometimes getting in the way when typing
-kernel logging was enabled
much of the above were solved using the uninstall zip of crossbreeder - i just noticed our Vietnamese friends are fond of using cross-breeder on all their ROM mods.
the keyboard i uninstalled and deleted the IME file in system and just replaced it using Optimus G Pro's keyboard IME installer.
everything should be all good. don't ask me where i got those zips - a simple search should do wonders for you.
The rom doesn't allow for setting up your own APN. Those features are not available in JB. Thanks for the tips but I just went back to stock since I wasn't able to get the network going.
