[Rom-Dev] romname-res.apk what is the use of it? - Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl

As I have seen in many custom roms! In the framework folder like in hyperion has hyperion-res.apk.... What are the uses of keeping this file and How to use them... I am developing a rom thats why I am asking these questions... Like in a Lockscreen mod or a Statusbar mod its provided with the hyperion-res.apk but why... How does a rom simply usethat ap? Pls. someone pls. Guide me through this stuff so that I can improve my rom!
My main question is where are these resource apk's defined? Like isit namedin the framework-res.apk or twframework-res.apk? Pls. This Answer shouldbe withtechnosavie, Ganesh A, yash989, CarlDeanCatabay or someone else who knows this stuff And if like someone made a status bar mod for hyperion it contains hyperion-res.apk if I rename it to "rom-res.apk" Will it work? Pls. Provide me an answer!

rom-res file is the toggle file.Whenever you change the the rom-res,you just replace the toggles file with a new one.
"A fool flatters himself but a wise flatters the fool" - Doctor VC

They are used to store res files like icons drawables etc for the rom's toolbox were you customize the rom...

They basically have the lockscreen and quick toggle data.. resources nd layouts

depends on what it is declared,
i can make a lozer.apk and it is a interface pack for the whole android system,
depends on how it is declared in the xmls

Its a LOT complicated bro. Even pratyush.creed couldnt do it perfectly(his ROM has signal bug due to this). Requires decompiling and compiling of lidroid-res.apk and Needs certain dev skills. Better use apps like hololocker, lockbot pro, widget locker etc
I can give the source file
Signal bug is from edt tweak itself not from lidroids parts

this is the right page for you

you could change the whole coding and declare it in the values/*something...* i forgot but i'm sure it it's there,
also my knowledge is limited in the kinda part since it's hard to code stuff in java

I have some app development experience and according to me you can add it in the launcher by :
Simple way : Put new files in anim folder and rename it to the old ones.. or edit the old anim files by taking codes from another launcher .
Hard way: Decompile the launcher and read it's smali codes using vts and add the animations easily. You could also add more features using this.

You rename apps you need to edit smali files. I also didnt know how to rename my launcher but i searched a lot. To change color you need to edit xml files in res/layout or res/values.

Press Thanx if I helped u...!!
2. The App Name is defined in the strings.xml in the res folder... But usually I get errors while compiling it back.. I dont know if this works for you
I dont know the rest... D-3V!L already gave you the tutorial about Rom name and dev name thingy
Changing text color http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151075
-respect older people-
To rename apps open androidmanifest . You might find something like 'android:label="@string/app_name" if u see some thing like this search for "app_name" (in this case ) and you will find the name of app in the strings.xml
if i hav accidently helped u, u can press that button,
colors are located in colors folder,
specifically
primary_text_****.xml
secondary_text_****.xml
etc. etc.
declared as hex codes,
please research the proper hex codes for your desired color,
and compile the apk properly to get best results,
preferably you could replace classes.dex with the previous unedited apk incase it does not install

it's possible, but it's the same as building a basic app,
you need to mirror some codes to work for a specific launcher or theme engine,
but if you are asking for the system icons,
then you are out of luck (except CM)
