Trying to build a rom, and keep getting an error stating "Resources appear in overlay but not in base. Use <add-resource> to add." Where do I add the resource? Noob question but I'm doing my best to learn, and have come a long way without any help. Any advice is appreciated :fingers-crossed:
So, if someone wanted to repeat your issue in order to try and help you, what would they do? Your message is giving an error message, but not telling anyone when that message appears, what is generating the message, steps to repeat, what device you are using, what you've changed, etc, etc.
In fact, your message is only a little better than creating a new thread containing only the words "it doesn't work." (without defining "it", etc.)
take care

Well, Gary...First off, thank you for responding. I understand the confusion as this is a dual device thread. I'm working on the SGS 3 (d2att). I figured my message was pretty much self explanatory as to the issue I'm having. When I stated trying to "build" a rom. I figured that would mean during the compiling script. Overlay issues generally seem to be related to vendor files as far as I can tell. I tried to add a device framework dimesion overlay to one of my vendor files (An s3 common folder I forked from Rootbox). I edited the arrays.xml and config.xml file inside the values folder under frameworks/base/core to allow such resources. This seemed to be the logical step, but then the error presented itself.
A overlay is supposed to modify a value in the base to the specific one you need for your device. So you must have added a value in your overlay that is not present in the base. Let's see if you can figure it out from there.

So you just looked at the OP and posted without reading any of the thread? Thats helpful :good:
Because we can all read your mind and your computer logs to know exactly what you typed. You asked a question and I answered it, without knowing what exactly you changed/added how are we supposes to provide any further support?
I did read your post...I don't see how it was supposed to change my answer though.

It's all good man...just frustrating. I've worked out sooo many kinks but this one has me stumped. The logs are gone and it takes 90 min to even get to that point during the build. I added device configurations to the vendor files. The ones giving me trouble are the resources in the vendor overlays files. Like I said, I added the resources to the config.xml and array.xml in the base...it still won't compile.

You are still leaving out information. Based on some of the other replies, it's pretty obvious that I'm not the only one who thinks so.
For example, it seems to be (based on some of the things you are saying) that you are building a form of AOSP? CM? AOKP? Something else? What? Which version? (Yes, it DOES matter.)
It might help if you recreate your situation from a "known" starting point. For example, grab the cm10 (or 10.1) code as a starting point. Then make minimal changes to that in order to reproduce your problem. (I'm guessing this would mean just adding a couple xml files to the overlay.) If you get the same error, then you'll be able to post CLEAR instructions to repeat the issue - such as "started with cm10.1 and was able to compile for d2att fine. Added the following files (attached) to the x/y/z directory and then edited file a/b/c to what is also attached, and then when I run brunch, I get an error stating 'error message here'"
If you do what I suggested, then someone else would be able to reproduce exactly what you are seeing (or at least be able to understand the context of your issue) and might help.
...unless, of course, you are deliberately NOT sharing information. If that's the case, please state that. It would make things easier.

I don't know if you can ... I know that when developing the app for example in eclipse, that is the first thing you do. you set the title of the app.
You like many other people are still posting these questions in development. I kindly ask if you can please read the first post in development. It explains where this post should be posted.
have a good day!
I don't know the answer I'm afraid but this would be better placed in the developers thread or even in Q&A.
Please take the time to read the stickied threads on the forum, the last one in particular.
Hope you find what your looking for.

Here are a couple of things to try, not sure if any or all will work or not.
1. Use Bettercut or Anycut, choose edit an existing, then for your first icon that you want to remove the name for, replace it with one space (hit the spacebar once). For the second one, replace the name with two spaces. For the third, three spaces. And so on. I'm almost positive this one will work.
2. If #1 doesn't work, I'm not sure whether or not the homescreen recognizes HTML code or not. If it does, instead of using spaces, type the following instead of a space. You'll need to do this for each space you are trying to type (and do not type the quotation marks): " "
3. If #1 and #2 don't work, then hold down ALT and press the spacebar once. That should create a ANSI space. You'll want to do that for each space you're wanting to create.
Since I believe each icon on the homescreen has to have a different name (Don't have my phone right now to test it), that's why you'll need a different number of spaces for each name. In other words, the 1st icon would need 1 space, the 2nd icon would need 2 spaces, the 3rd icon would need four spaces, etc. That may not be entirely necessary, but it won't hurt anything either.
Please let me know which, if any, of these tricks work.
Wish I could test this and give you the exact answer. But I believe the first example works. Grab Anycut off the Market and give it a try.

I used betterCut and I used one space for a shortcut. Well... It works if you don't mind that text background still there. So its not really great.
Okay, here's my situation. I have a ton of numbers in my address book (well, Google Contacts), and I use this app called Contacts Clean-up to make sure all the formatting of all my numbers are the same and everything. Now the problem is with this application it forces you to format your numbers so they have a "+" before your number (ex. +1-555-555-5555).
I went to use Darch's Legend ROM and for some reason that format of a number isnt supported, it just wont let me call the people. Being that I have hundreds of contacts between Google Contacts & Facebook I need to have my numbers formatted WITHOUT the "+".
Long story short, the app is open source & I was wondering if someone could modify it for me to make an option to not have the "+" in the number. I know someone's gotta know how to do it...
Here's the link... http://code.google.com/p/android-contacts-cleanup/
Thanks in advance.
just take a look at the source yourself. it's pretty clearly outlined when you find
svn/trunk/res/values/strings.xml
i'd do it for you right now... but i can't check out a copy of the source since i don't use linux
but if you look in the strings.xml, you'll see the '+' sign that you want to get rid of clearly. if you're running linux, simply modify the file to delete the + sign and package it back to the apk, i'm assuming. then it should work fine
It just sucks that I'm on my mom's Mac right now.
Any ideas how to do it from here? Or anyone with Linux willing to help a fellow Android guy out?
i'm not sure if it works on a mac, but give it a try anyways!
just go to terminal and enter
Code:
svn checkout http://android-contacts-cleanup.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ android-contacts-cleanup-read-only
To do it on a mac you would first have to install macports, and then run:
Code:
sudo port install subversion
After that you would then be able to check out the source.
Damn I'm on my mom's computer right now... I can't really install anything.
Ughh. Could anyone possibly try to do this for me if its not too much trouble?
I'll see what I can do. I might have some time to do it tonight yet.
Edit:
I have made the edits that are needed. Also, it required a bit more than just editing the strings file. This is obvious to anyone who has experience with Android development since the strings are only for display. As far as getting it to do what you wanted, that was just a few quick edits to the Formatter class.
PM me for a link to the .apk to install it. (I'm a new user, so I can't post links.) Just download it OTA. You will need to enable unknown sources in order to install it.

especially when its as readable as that code was...
So, I have been learning how to DeOdex Android ROMs, and have made great progress today in getting familiarized with the Java commands, and figuring out what BOOTCLASSPATHS to specify for a given Odex/APK file.
I have one quick curiosity about specifying BOOTCLASSPATHS. Is it in any way detrimental or harmful to the DeOdexing process or to the ROM itself to specify more BOOTCLASSPATHS than are necessary for a given odex file?
For example, if I'm trying to DeOdex HTCFriendStreamWidget.odex, it is necessary to call out the BOOTCLASSPATH of com.HTC.android.Rosie.jar, but it may not be necessary to call out the BOOTCLASSPATH of com.HTC.android.easopen.jar. However, it might be necessary to call upon that BOOTCLASSPATH for another odex file I'm wanting to DeOdex at the same time.
Or, say I want to just assume that a given number of odex files may very well call for paths to a number of different jars, but there is a distinct possibility that some of the apks/odex files won't need the paths that I decide to specify. I'd rather not keep trying to use the bare minimum of jars only to find I'm short by 1 or 2 jars that I can only figure out through looking over the error that is spit out.
Would this be harmful in any way to call out unnecessary paths, or will they simply be ignored if they don't pertain to the APK/odex?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Upon further searching and reading, I finally feel I have found the answer to the question. It seems as though it is as I suspected. The BOOTCLASSPATHs that are unneeded for a given jar/odex will simply be ignored in the DeOdexing process.

I may be wrong but I believe that all occurs in the boot loaders which means the OS is not loaded. If it's still in the boot loader process then the kernel modules necessary to access certain functions of the hardware (GPS, modem, etc.) are not loaded yet. That would prevent access to the network. A qualified dev might have to speak to it, though, as I might be off-base.
There is a thread in the themes and apps section to flash linda on your phone. Like Raver previously had on VB. You may start there and try replacing the sound files.

Reread his request. He is asking for something not possible.
During boot your phone is loading the necessary radios and files. The project Linda stuff is preloaded with commands that trigger preloaded sounds. That is not realitime just tirggered by certain scripts running.
If you want it to announce each time you unlock that is another animal. IIRC there are several apps that do similar might search the market via a pc so they arent filtered on your phone.
Dear god eollie. I dread opening a thread and finding your commentary after something I post. I hate the thought of hurting your feelings and owing the community an apology.
during boot wont happen... As the phone doesnt have acccess to the network tell after the firmware is loaded...
boot process = Init
Linda the lady you hear during the conversion process is just prebuilt audio files into the voodoo inframats... Haveing the phone beable to tell you your name time and temp outside of the actuall operation of the device isnt going to happen.. Especally sence during boot its intalizing the stuff needed.
that would be like having your laptop check your bank info before you even boot into the os....

Ok heres the dealio, that is giving hope to something not possible. Just simply not possible. Its like pretrolling him into posting thats not what he wants..then smacking him with a android nerf bat saying dummy.
No written expression is/does get taken out of context. Kinda like your initial post to me. Im still trying to figure out how I implied you owed anybody a apology or anything tho. /shrug
back on topic....
xxprincecjxx as raver stated its not possible on boot up. But I do know I seen apps that would do similar on unlock. Im lazy and not going to search. But use a pc browser and search android market it will show unfiltered results. Then you might be able to contact the dev if its not available for the SGS4G.
thanks
thanks for all the replys...
so what i gather is that its impossible to get linda to voice the weather because the nwtqoek hasn't loaded yet. However it seems possible to change the preloaded audio files which linda loooks at. hmmm it may be possible to say a symbolic constant (something static) like a name or a phrase during boot. i believe it comes down to the commands which r read during boot.
sorry but now i have another ?
How would i change pre loaded audio files to my own custom one. is it possible to do or is it burnt into rom? im off to read about linda and pre loaded audio files and what cmds are read at boot.

If you wanted to change the boot sound you can do that to have it say your name.
The link lumin posted has a zip file that you can extract and push the files to the respective folders. In theroy you could replace the files with whatever you wanted as long as you rename then to whats there currently and rezip it.

thanks i've found project linda's link...downloaded...i just dont know where the "respective folders are located" . where is the boot sound located in filesystem? i'll start at root of phone and search for each app individually and apply my own custom sound as you mentioned. i'll zip and move to folders once i find say the messages notification folder resides...
for boot i was actually thinking a modified bootloader script which acts like a virus sort of but thatthat is too much codeing for what im trying to accomplish so i will conclude as u and ravwr said its impossible for now.
Read up on Linux and the initramfs. That's where this stuff is stored per Raver (thanks for the lesson, Raver).

thanks i've found project linda's link...downloaded...i just dont know where the "respective folders are located" . where is the boot sound located in filesystem? i'll start at root of phone and search for each app individually and apply my own custom sound as you mentioned. i'll zip and move to folders once i find say the messages notification folder resides...
for boot i was actually thinking a modified bootloader script which acts like a virus sort of but thatthat is too much codeing for what im trying to accomplish so i will conclude as u and ravwr said its impossible for now.

Download the file to your pc. Put your created sound files in place of the ones in the zip that you want to replace. Rezip it and then flash it via CWM. It should put the files in the proper location.
Now regarding your name on boot. If you create a bootsound and name it properly it should play on boot but it would be during your boot animation. Maybe you could get a custom bootanimation with your name and such and it would be close to what your looking for.
Regarding the phone saying your name - check your system folder using Root Explorer app.
If you have system\etc\PowerOn.wav - it's the boot intro.
You can change it to "Hello...."

thx it worked. replaced linda with my own custom sounds. i got it actually telling me weather once an hour and how many msgs calls i missed and couple other things.
as far as boot i found the file bootanimation in /system/media/bootanimation.zip i'm running val final black edition. there are no sound files in this folder. just the boot images. would i put
sound file in this folder or would i brick phone at next boot with sound file in images folder? also what extension should i make sound file? i see .ogg refrenced a lot bit soneone above said .wav so im unsure what ext i should make it.

Ok heres the dealio, that is giving hope to something not possible. Just simply not possible. Its like pretrolling him into posting thats not what he wants..then smacking him with a android nerf bat saying dummy.
No written expression is/does get taken out of context. Kinda like your initial post to me. Im still trying to figure out how I implied you owed anybody a apology or anything tho. /shrug
back on topic....
xxprincecjxx as raver stated its not possible on boot up. But I do know I seen apps that would do similar on unlock. Im lazy and not going to search. But use a pc browser and search android market it will show unfiltered results. Then you might be able to contact the dev if its not available for the SGS4G.

i agree with you on the fact that this is possibly impossible...
but my friend 10 15 yrs ago someone would have told you it was impossible for a phone to have a 1.5 ghz dual core processor. or the beggining of cell phones someone would have told you it would be impossible to watch a live streaming football game on your cell phone.

You ain't gotta lie to kick it.
I am using paranoid android 4.6 beta 1 on the defualt kernel that comes with it.... I am not using xposed module or any other modifications... I am on default theme...
Whenever I open the gallery only some images load up (the recent ones) for the thumbnail preview and even when opened for the remaining many I get grey thumbnails and when openedgrey boxes..
I know this has something to do with media scanning being enabled at startup... But I didn't do anything to screw it up... I had this issue previously... But since no one helped I simply got back to stock ROM.. Pa 4.6 and a couple of releases before it worked well... It got back when I clean flashed the ROM yday!
Why not ask in the rom thread, where the guys that use the rom are?
Also, you may want to consider a more detailed title for your threads in the future... Many won't even open a thread with a vague or barely existent title. ?

Well, not sure what to say. Try clean flashing it again. About ago you can do.
Or ask in their thread, maybe someone else has had it happen. ?
Really your only options.
try this app - old thumbnails and grey boxes were displaying on mine, i had to scan everytime i deleted images, i think it was since i switched back to art, i started from scratch - no longer needed the app, i wasnt using PA

I can't tell if the gray thumbnails are actual photos sometimes. I normally delete them. You can use a File Manager and delete .thumbnails is whatever folder, as well attempt a reboot.
