Settings Storage - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, sorry if I've broken any rules with this post as I normally on post in my own device threads...
I am working on a custom rom and I want some settings in the settings app to be preset such as I want install from unknown sources to be checked on the first boot... I also want a different wallpaper to be set... I have decompiled different apks and searched the system folders but I just cannot find where these settings are stored! Can anyone help please? When you change a setting where is it stored? Thanks

Settings use the preferencescreen. They are stored in the XML folder under the res folder. You can set a default value to each checkbox preference.
The default wallpaper is set in the framework res.

Hi,
I'm trying to build my own ROM with custom web address that is set as the default home page on the browser.
I cant find the configuration file to change this setting, neither Browser.apk contains this setting.

[Q] build.prop sound/volume related settings

or you want list of tweak?
I will check this, thanks. And I don't need a list of tweaks, just a list of every possible settings

[HOW TO] Add Custom Fonts for GO SMS Pro

Ever wonder, how to add your OWN font for your GO SMS?
You found a nice font on dafont.com, and you want it to be your SMS font. BUT... you don't know how?
So, you searched... and then found out that you need to go to GO SMS Settings > Apperance Settings > Scan font packages... BUT... it did not find your font.
So, you improvised... you put your font on sdcard/external_sd/gosms/fonts/... BUT... that what just plain hilarious if you did that
So, you searched the market for a font you can install with your GO SMS Pro. You found Fonts Bundled 1, Fonts Bundled 2, etc etc... BUT... they are all ugly. What you need is the font you found on dafont.com.
So, you have lost hope. BUT then... you have found this post.
If you wanna add your OWN CUSTOM FONT, then you need to have your OWN CUSTOM THEME with that OWN CUSTOM FONT.
HOW???
Easy, first, download the GO SMS Theme Maker for your laptop: http://61.145.124.93/soft/gosms/theme/GOSmsProThemeMakerEnV2_2.rar.
Then, decompress the file that you just downloaded.
Open ThemeTool.bat from it. It will open the Easy Theme Maker.
Enter any name and version you would want your custom theme to have.
Then, from the folder you found where ThemeTool.bat, open assets folder.
Inside that folder, make a new folder and name it fonts.
Put inside the OWN CUSTOM FONT you found. Be sure that the font is a true-type font, having an extenstion of ttf. And be sure that the extension on small letters, i.e. customfont.ttf and not customfont.TTF.
And back to the Easy Theme Maker, click Generate APK File.
From the folder you found where ThemeTool.bat, there should be a new file _signed.apk.
Install that to your phone, that is your OWN CUSTOM THEME with OWN CUSTOM FONT.
Go to GO SMS Pro > Settings > Appearance Settings > Scan font packages.
Then, ENJOY customizing your SMS fonts! BUT... This time no more BUTs.
I just got bored so I made this guide and I made my new sig... that's why
Hihihih
Hope this helps.

actually, all you have to do is put your font.ttf in the sdcard/gosms/fonts folder and your new font will be at the end of the list when you go to change it.

I haven't tried this yet but is what you said above true? The other method seems too laborious just to add a font to your system.

Yes absolutely. Very simple. I did leave out one obvious, easy step though. You have to go into the GOsms menu> advanced settings> appearance>"scan font packages"
Let me know if it worked for you. Please hit the Thanks button if it helped
I am sorry but the time I made this thread GO SMS Pro didn't support the feature mentioned above just to put the font to sdcard/gosms/fonts and it will recognized it, that is why I made this thread.
Well, anyways its good that it now support external fonts.
RAR File is no longer there

W/ the last update, they've just about stripped out every feature in the appearance settings, you could change the font and font type in each theme and save it.

{For value pack}Change Clock Position On Lock Screen

Hi Friends, I have found a way to change clock position on lock screen for value packs.
First of all, take backup of ur original settings.apk from /system/apps.
Now download settings.apk attached below and move it in /system/app and set permissions as rw-r--r--. If settings app doesn't appear in app drawer then reboot ur phone.
Now go to display settings. Go to screen settings. Change clock position as u want. Now restore your original settings u have backed up.
I have got this settings.apk in galaxy w forum. I have not remembered name of user made this settings.apk but thanx to him. As this settings.apk is for galaxy w many settings options will create fc's.. So u will require to restore original settings.apk. I know this is boaring and typical method but this is what i have found to change clock position. And It is deodexed.
