[Q]making a new rom

[isko95]

i'm trying to make a rom based on latest minicm7 nightly for x10 mini pro
when i flash it everything works, except root access..
i tried to change superuser app (superSU and superuser) but nothing..
maybe i deleted some files that needs superuser to work..

Extract the system/app/Superuser.apk and the system/xbin/su files from any deodexed, MiniCM7 based ROM and replace the files in your ROM with those. Be sure to set the correct permissions in the updater-script.

how to set proper permissions in updater script?

how to set proper permissions in updater script?

set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su");

Assuming 'su' is in /system/xbin.

The superuser.apk in /system/app will get the same permissions as everything else in there through a set_perm_recursive line for the entire folder.

is it possible to disable bootanimation as default?

Just don't put one in.
There is a build.prop setting for it or maybe something you can do in init.d, but i can't remember what.
If you leave it out the system won't waste any time in displaying it anyway

For build.prop: debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
GIYF

yes, but i wanted to try to use another superuser app, but only the old one works (by CHAINSDD) supersu and superuser doesnt work, they said the rom has obsolete binary, binary which with superuser works...
i wonder why

The various superuser apk's are only a front-end for the capabilities offered by the su binary, an older su binary will not have all the options that the newer apk's are taking advantage off, that's why they complain about it being obsolete. That is usually one of the first things that gets updated when you start using Google Play.

please reply!

 

[SmG67]

please reply!

Custom ROMS usually have a custom .apk which contains the theme you can set with Theme chooser (minicm7 has minicm7.apk, minicm10 has minicm10.apk) The rest of the user-interface (the "google" stuff) is in framework-res.apk and systemui.apk as far as I know. And then there are some app-specific graphics in individual .apk's like calendar, mms and contacts apps etc.
I'd start with Emperor.dk's tutorial if you want to start learning about theming.
