    BUILD PROP TWEAKS.

    add these lines at the end of build prop.

video.accelerate.hw=1
Debug.performance.tuning=1
debug.composition.type=gpu
debug.composition.type=cpu

    STEP:6
    EDITING Updater script.

    only add the red colored line if u are adding a data folder for supercharger. scripts.

    Code: 
    show_progress(0.1, 0);										
ui_print(" write any thing inside this");
ui_print(" Installation Started !");
format("MTD", "system");
format("MTD", "cache");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
show_progress(1.2, 83);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(0.14, 3);
[COLOR="Red"]package_extract_dir("data", "/data");[/COLOR]
ui_print("");
set_progress(0.700000);
unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");
show_progress(1, 0);
ui_print("");
ui_print("reboot");

    STEP 7

    the Icons are of different size in HDPI....
    what u have to do is resize it to 48x48 size by using MIR. or GMIP or windows image resize or Photoshop

    so here is the list of particular png's u have to resize and replace it.

    1st open a apk with winrar from the following folders bellow extract those png's do no close the archive resize it to 48x48 and replace it mdpi folder.

    Code: 
    browser -- mipmap-mdpi / ic_launcher_browser.png
calculator -- drawabe-hdpi / icon.png
google quick search box -- mipmap-mdpi / search_app_icon.png
phonebook -- drawable-mdpi / ic_launcher_contacts.png & ic_launcher_phone.png
semc calender -- drawable-mdpi / app_icon.png
semc clock -- drawable-mdpi / alarmclock.png
semc phone -- drawable-mdpi / clh_launcher_phone.png
settings -- mipmap-mdpi / ic_launcher_settings.png
torch -- drawable-mdpi/ you will find it.
talk -- drawable-mdpi / ic_launcher_google_talk.png

    STEP 8

    after doing all these
    u should have these folders

    data http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?l1ejemfyftax1ej
    META-INF
    system
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    make it a zip file name it.

    so u have made a new rom ported from HPDI to MDPI

    sorry for bad presentation ....ill edit this post in more understandable way soon

    GUIDE:-2

    HOW TO COMPILE AND DECOMPILE


    so 1st using apktool install these files by using this command..


    framework-res.apk - apktool if framework-res.apk
    framework-miui-res.apk - apktool if framework-miui-res.apk
    SemcGenericUxpRes.apk - apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk

    once u done installing these 3 things.. close apktool.......

    FRAMEWORK-RES
    now download and install apk manager to ur c/ drive...
    after installing u should have folders like this.

    foldes.png



    after that put apks in the folder named ' put apk's here for moding'
    so u put framework-res.apk and miuisystemui.apk in that folder
    like this

    apk_folder.png


    then open the script.
    like this

    apk_folder.png


    after opening the script it will be like this

    apk_folder.png


    choose a project by pressing 22 and choose framework-res.apk

    apk_folder.png


    then decompile it by pressing 9

    after in the project folder.
    go to framework-res.apk >res>values>and open bools.xml in that change the auto brightness to false insted of true.

    apk_folder.png


    then recompile it by pressing 11 and it will ask for 'is it a system app' say yes there..

    apk_folder.png
    .

    and it will also ask for 'copy original files that u have not modified.' say no there.

    apk_folder.png


    and do not sign the framework or systemui apk

    so in the same folder ' put apks for modding u will find a file like this 'unsignedframework-res.apk' so rename it to framework-res and replace in the system/framework

    apk_folder.png


    so now framework is over..

    SYSTEM UI
    same way u decompile miuisystemui.apk

    in that go to res>values> open drawables.xml and delete this line shown in down

    apk_folder.png


    after that recompile it by pressing 11
    it will ask the same thing again 'is it a system app' say yes.

    apk_folder.png


    and 'do u want to copy original files that u have not modified' say yes.

    apk_folder.png


    and again a msg will popup like this

    apk_folder.png


    so for that a temp folder called 'keep' will be created in the inside apk manager ics folder in that delete this file shown in pic

    apk_folder.png


    and press enter
    so recompiling is done with out any error...
    now in the that 'put ur apks for moding' folder rename it to MiuiSystemUI and place it in the system/app

    Okay great, because every rom I've tried to port needed it's own kernel :(

    How about the updater-script? Could you maybe explain something about this; what we can change there, etc?

    just use my updater script attached in meta-inf folder...

    bcz it would be easy for noobs..

    edit: ok ill make update what all u need to change in updater script
