take a look here: how to edit ROM archive
here I just added a keyboard layout file to ROM archive then signed back
you have testsign.jar in attach -use it to sign your ROM
also look here: how to change splashscreen
-do not forget to sign back ROM file is not enough to make .zip
-do not copy apks to /system but /custpack
-if an app is not shown rename it no space between characters
i.e. if this is named "tapa talk" rename to "tapa_talk" or "tapatalk"
-do not touch system apps i.e. browser.apk, framework-res.apk
-to remove an app just delete it
Overclocking ...you will learn it later basically you need kernel sources for your phone edit related files and compile it back
for now is enough just to add/remove some apps, custom bootanimation and make your custom ROM
do not flash ROMs/ kernel not made for your phone possible hardware failure

firstly I tell you something when you are looking for stock rom for your Galaxy Ace here is howto
usually a rom is made by a tool named "kitchen" - it just help you to put things together and "cook" the ROM fortunately you have a well-know phone so there are tools/kitchen to prepare your rom
just give me a link to the rom you want to edit..
another way is to use an online tool like this but it seems it's too busy now..

modifying roms

Hi, newbie here. I have this Rom but I would like to transfer the notification bar, off menu and keyboard from another rom into it. How do I do it?

Unfortunately you can't just simply transfer the notification bar, and by "off menu" I assume you mean the power menu. The keyboard on the other hand should be pretty easy to transfer. To transfer the keyboard look in the ROM you want for latinime.apk or a similar named file, then take that apk and install on the other ROM you want to use it on. Now on to the harder stuff. Transferring the status bar requires de-compiling frame-work.res and making a variety of smali edits as does the power menu. You can check out these guides for a basic idea of how to accomplish this:

[Q] Some System related questions about Android 4.0 smart TV BOX

hello everyone,
please pardon my english.
i have a android tv box device. It s rooted and running quite good but i want to do some modifications on that device like removing any picture during boot, hiding status bar etc. ive achieved some of those but i have still some unanswered questions about the device and main concepts of android system.
first of all
i want to make permenant changes on init.rc file. When I edit that file on rooted device, it gets overwritten to default values when system reboots. The system also overwrites some files like initlogo.1080i.rle on / (root) directory.
Is it possible to prevent this behavior of the rom from android operating system / or from any other domain?
Is it possible to create a rom zip file with mine init.rc and *.rle files , and install it from recovery?
Also I want to start my own application coded by me to run on boot before the SystemUI OR I want to the SystemUI starts hidden and then my own application will run. But in all situations I don't want to be showed up android's UI.
Is it possible to hide navigation layout (bar) by adding a start-up parameter to the SystemUI's launch command which is placed in the init.rc file?
Thanks for your help.

[Q] How to resize navigation bar on KitKat Paranoid

Now, i just got my Xperia L unlocked bootloader. then i have install ROM KitKat Paranoid using CWM. you can check to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/orig-development/4-4-3-aospa-legacy-4-4-beta1-t2571273
then i found my navigation bar so big enough. when i use gravity box for kitkat to resize it, i cant. so any idea for resize navigation bar?? please..
sorry for my bad english

I am with the same problem here : (
Does someone here can help us?

I believe that's not possible! But, one thing you can do is to change the dpi!!! But, that changes the size of everything! You can try it out!
1. Open Root Explorer.
2. Go to /system
3. Click on Mount RW (It should appear as Mount RO, that’s when it is correct!)
4. Look for build.prop. Long press on the file and press Open file in Editor
5. Scroll down to ro.sf.lcd_density
6. Change the value. The lower the value, the higher density your screen will have.
7. Click on the Menu button, and Save and Exit.
8. Reboot.:highfive:

Install the xposed mod and then install gravity box in it
