I'm just wanting to change up some font colors and grahics on a rom I have. I was told Eclipse was the way to go, so I set up an Android Dev machine with all the plugins and recommended tools. Now what?
Since no one is willing or able to help, could someone or a Dev be so kind to get me the correct xml file that will change the top title bar fonts to white instead of black. I will put the file in the rom and re-sign it myself.
I am by no means any good at theming, I fail pretty hard, but this might help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535630
Also, maybe try posting in the theme forum. Good luck.
There are different xml files for different stuff. Check out colorchange app. It works with cyanogen to change all stuff. Much easier that the xml stuff we used to have to do. Pm me if you have any specific questions.
If you search for colorchange or even posts by me you will find it. When I turn my pc on later I will post a link if required.
Thanks for the info mates (MontAlbert and bcrook). I will check out the colorchange app. One day I will find some write ups on Elclipse and android rom programming. Will let you know how the app worked out, MontAlbert.

Thank you for this. I will have a read later tonight. And thanks for your help. I did find the file you were refering too but am lost on if it is flashed to the phone or loaded into my dev system.

You probably want to ask these questions in the Android dev group(s) on Google groups. The digests I get every day indicate there is a lot of activity there.
Okay so I've bought a samsung galaxy chat B5330 device back in feb'2013. Don't ask me why cause I conciously bought it. So I realised after searching for 6 months that there is no interest of developers in this device. so I have taken up the initiative to 1) Build CM 10, 2) Port CWM, 3) Root the device myself. However I don't have much idea about building android. I've rooted and flashed Custom recovery n ROMs to my dad's phone before and I'm a geek so I learn things quickly about computers n phones. So I'm nor a complete newbie neither a Master developer. Therefore I need help of those devlopers who will be kind enough not to discourage me. Anyone can root a device which is more popular because it gets vulnarable too quickly so there is no point in telling me that "you should have bought a device which has developer support". I am interested to be a developer myself n that challenge is really so tempting to me. So here are my questions which I don't have exact idea about.
1) I have a computer of the config -> AMD fx 6100 hexacore buldozer 3.3 GHz/4 GB RAM/500 GB HDD/Windows7(32) & Ubnuntu 13.04(64). Can I do the job of building roms from the source with this config in the first place?
2) Does galaxy chat B5330 support 'fastboot'? if yes then How can I boot into fastboot mode? I've tried with adb 'reboot-bootloader' but the device just restarted normally. So I don't know How can I get into the fastboot mode?
3) CM developers are really kind enough that they have put alot effort into making the wiki. I've got precious informations about building android from source and all. But I have a confusion. There was mentioned fastboot is necessery for building CM. So if my phone does not have fastboot should it mean that I can't build CM for my device at all?
4) How much data do I have to download? Do I need to be connected to the internet always while editing local file? n If I use 'repo sync' to update the code always won't my editings get overwritten by stock code again?
so these are few basic questions I have for now. I know I might not get any response at all. But there's no harm in trying. thanks

I've got my hands on a working cwm (somehow it did) for b5330. Now looking forward to porting CWM 6 from cm source. I just have too slow bandwidth for cm source syncing. So let's see how it goes.

The best way to start is to use another Rom as base (get permission first) then start tweaking it with scripts, apps and build.prop tweaks. Once you start to get familiar with the basics, start experimenting with different tweaks. Since you are going to create a Cyanogenmod 10 Rom from scratch, I give you best of luck and hope many people will use it!
FINALLY!

I just sideloaded few apk files via adb. So it ran them smoothly. N don't call me sir please. I hate formalities.. just chill

bad forum
When you don't get replies, don't just say xda is a bad forum.
The forum isn't the "thing" answering, it's the users. .
Anyways, I have an answer for your problem. And I know what exactly you're talking about.
The reason your "tool" shows an error when it compiles the .apk is because you made an error somewhere in the process of editing. This happens frequently, the easiest way to figure out the cause for this error is to check the error log. It shows precisely where the issue is.
I would help you out by making it for you, but there is two reasons I cannot. One - its too late here and I can't get on my PC, and Two - If we do it, you don't learn anything if you're building or cooking roms.
So what I would like you to do is, get a log of the error you're getting and perhaps I, or someone else could help you.
Also you can "bump" up your thread, read the stickies for rules on this. It'll help. Bumping the thread pushes the thread near the top of list so people see it. You already did this. But in a slightly different way.

All,
Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.
Beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID). This makes the process all teh simpler!
I have built this tool from his source, and used it on a multitude of devices that use a Samsung eMMC. It works without flaw on the Moto G (Second Generation), Galaxy S5 (VZW/ATT, though, ATT doesn't have a Developer Edition that I am aware of), and many, many others.
How does this apply to you?
The S5 uses a Samsung eMMC, and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is vulnerable to this exploit.
How can I help this progress?
I need a few thing to make this work:
- A few testers with Production devices, and root (temp-root should work fine) -- I will contact these people individually, do not ask here to test.
- One person with a Developer Edition that has root (need an aboot dump, and them to run one command).
If any of you know of someone with a Developer Edition, please get them in contact with me. I can be reached on Hangouts, or on Telegram (@npjohnson).
PLEASE do not post your CID publicly.
I will be trying to package this into an app that will extend across multiple vulnerable devices.

I know we'll be able to get a bootloader unlock from this, but hopefully we'll be able to get it done ASAP. I've already moved on to the Nexus 6, but I'd still love to have my S5's bootloader unlocked anyway. Good luck with this, I can't wait.

cant wait to see this going
So how have you gone about compiling and running this? Try as I may I can't seem to do a proper build. It's probably the lowest of the low, but if you could send me a binary, I'd greatly appreciate it
I'd be more than willing to try it on my rooted verizon s5.
Successfully compiled the tool - currently scouring the internet looking for anyone with a developer edition that might be able to help, we should have this done in no time. Have already sent out messages to a few, will look for more. I'll PM you if I get any details
Kinda cool watching this unfold over a few weeks, I'm really excited for what's to come.
You all need to check something else first, you need your current CID
If it starts with anything other than 15, this will not work for you. Samsung EMMC's start with CID 15, Toshiba 11, and there may be more. If you Don't start with 15, this WILL NOT WORK.
Regarding a compiled verison
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=64141875024257149501
Yeah...unfortunately mine starts with an 11 :c
Yep, mine starts with a 15. I'm ready to start any testing. All of my possible developer editions have fallen through - many requesting a purchase of the actual phone. I'll keep looking, but I might be outta options atm.
I can't believe all we need to open this phone up is a dev phone for a few minutes. It would add new life. I'm searching out people as well. Hopefully we find something soon
Mine starts with a 15 and it's not my daily driver, count me in for testing!
Question. Didn't someone post in one of the forums (General or Android Development) about them having a Walmart Straight Talk S5 and that it was actually a VZW Dev Ed? Because he was wanting to put a CM ROM on it. If that's true, then we also need to find anyone with that particular device as well. If i can find the thread it was posted in I'll add the link. Found the links. If it's true we need to see if these variants could help out.

That's actually brilliant. It MIGHT work, but even though they have identical hardware, I don't know if that guarantees that it will have a compatible bootloader - unless it does, in which case that's amazing, and we need to get a hold of someone with one asap. Unless they are the same model, just rebranded, I don't see this working as the bootloaders may not be signed with Verizon's keys.
True. Forgot about the VZW keys... Was thinking too much of finding a Dev Ed....lol

Don't give up hope so fast. I'm getting in contact with a few people, and I'll certainly try it. This may actually be the same phone, I see a lot of websites suggesting Straight Talk phones are the exact same as Verizon ones. We shall see. My information about the keys might not even be accurate, with my limited knowledge.
It was a good thought though, even if it isn't true

Hmm. I dunno. I'm currently on Windows - there wasn't really any installation for NDK, just running from the extracted folder. I can post a link to a compiled version of the program, I'm pretty sure someone in another thread posted one.

Use eMMC brickbug checker on the play store. First 2 numbers of your cid should be 11 or 15. You want 15

Android is built to work with the specific hardware it's installed on. You can't just install it on whatever you want.
You probably have to develop the android operating system for it yourself, and that is only IF it can be done at all. If there is no kind of android source code for the device then you'll have to be a very skilled developer to make this happen.
I would find something else to play with if I were you.

Ah ok,
I thought it was a simple thing like installing Windows on a PC from an iso.
I'm not developer at all and wouldn't even know what to do.
I guess I'll have to give up this idea as ive looked into this website but found nothing.
