Do the following if you wish to modify the default splash screen:</p> 26<p> 27<ol><li>Create a 320x480 image, <code>splashscreen.jpg</code> in this example.</li> 28<li>Using ImageMagick, convert your .jpg file to .r format: 29<pre class="prettify"> 30convert screen.jpg screen.r 31</pre> 32</li> 33<li>Use the rgb2565 application to convert the image to 565 format: 34<pre class="prettify"> 35rgb2565 < screen.rgb > screen.565 36</pre> 37</li> 38<li>Use fastboot to flash the image to the device: 39<pre class="prettify"> 40fastboot flash splash1 screen.565 41</pre> 42</li> 43</ol> 44 45 46<a name="androidNetCustPlat"></a><h3>Network Customization Platform</h3> 47 48 49 50<a name="androidNetCustPlatNetworkConfig"></a><h4>Network Configuration</h4> 51 52<p>Android stores network configurations as a resource that gets compiled into binary at form at build time. The XML representation of this resource is located at <code>//android/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/apns.xml</code>. This file does not include any configured APNs. You should not modify this file, but instead configure APNs by product at build time (see Build-time APN Configuration below).</p> 53<p>Each network configuration is stored in an XML element following this syntax:</p> 54<pre class="prettify"> 55<apn carrier="T-Mobile US" 56 mcc="310" 57 mnc="260" 58 apn=" wap.voicestream.com" 59 user="none" 60 server="*" 61 password="none" 62 proxy=" 216.155.165.50" 63 port="8080" 64 mmsc="http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms" 65/> 66</pre> 67 68 69<a name="androidNetCustPlatAPNConfig"></a><h4>Build-time APN configuration</h4> 70 71<p>To set the APN configuration for a particular product target, add an <code>apns-conf.xml</code> file to the product configuration (do not modify the default platform APNs). This allows multiple products, all with different APNs, to be built off the same code base. </p> 72 73<p>To configure APNs at the product level, add a line to the product configuration file like the example below (<code>vendor/<vendor_name>/products/myphone-us.mk</code>): </p> 74 75<pre class="prettify"> 76PRODUCT_COPY_FILES := vendor/acme/etc/apns-conf-us.xml:system/etc/apns-conf.xml 77</pre> 78 79 80 81<a name="androidNetCustPlatAPNRunTime"></a><h4>APN configuration at run time</h4> 82 83<p>At runtime, the Android reads APNs from the following file:</p> 84<pre class="prettify"> 85system/etc/apns-conf.xml 86</pre> 87 88<p>Android supports the following run-time network configuration methods to choose the appropriate APN from the list of configured APNs:</p> 89<p><ul> 90<li><b>Automatic Configuration</b>: At boot time, Android determines the correct network configuration based on the MCC and MNC from the SIM card and automatically configure all network settings.</li> 91<li><b>Manual Configuration</b>: The platform will also support runtime (user) manual selection of network settings by name, for example, "Company Name US," and will support manual network configuration entry.</li> 92<li><b>WAP / SMS Push Configuration</b>: The network configurations are standard Android resources. You can upgrade a resource at runtime by installing a new system resource APK package. It will be possible to develop a network configuration service which listens to a specific binary SMS port for binary SMS messages containing the network configurations. NOTE: The implementation will likely be network operator dependent due to inconsistent SMS ports, binary SMS formats, etc.</li> 93</ul> 94 95 96 97 98<a name="androidCustomizingPre-LoadedApps"></a><h3>Customizing pre-loaded applications</h3> 99 100<p>To customize the list of Android packages for a particular product (applications, input methods, providers, services, etc.), set <code>PRODUCT_PACKAGES</code> property in the product configuration, as illustrated below:</p> 101 102<pre class="prettify"> 103PRODUCT_PACKAGES := \ 104 <company_name>Mail \ 105 <company_name>IM \ 106 <company_name>HomeScreen \ 107 <company_name>Maps \ 108 <company_name>SystemUpdater 109</pre> 110 111<p>Package names should correspond to the <code>LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME</code> specified for each package's build target. For example, the <code>Android.mk</code> build target for <company_name>Mail, referenced above, could look like this: 112 113<pre class="prettify"> 114# Build the <company_name>Mail application 115LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir) 116include $(CLEAR_VARS) 117 118LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := user development 119 120LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under,src,tests) 121 122LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := <company_name>login-client 123 124# Specify the package name 125LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := <company_name>Mail 126 127# Specify the certificate used to sign the application 128LOCAL_CERTIFICATE := vendor/<company_name>/certs/app 129 130include $(BUILD_PACKAGE) 131 132# Build the login client static library 133include $(LOCAL_PATH)/client/Android.mk 134</pre> 135 136<p>Note that the home screen is just an Android application that can be replaced entirely or customized by changing source code and application resources (Java source, layouts, etc.).</p> 137 138 139 140<a name="androidBrowserBookmarks"></a><h3>Customizing browser bookmarks</h3> 141 142<p>Browser bookmarks are stored as string resources in the Browser application: <code>//android/packages/apps/Browser/res/values/strings.xml</code>. Bookmarks are defined as simple value string arrays called "bookmarks". Each bookmark entry is stored as a pair of array values; the first represents the bookmark name and the second the bookmark URL. For example:</p> 143<pre class="prettify"> 144<!-- Bookmarks --> 145<string-array name="bookmarks"> 146 <item>Google</item> 147 <item>http://www.google.com/</item> 148 <item>Yahoo!</item> 149 <item>http://www.yahoo.com/</item> 150 <item>MSN</item> 151 <item>http://www.msn.com/</item> 152 <item>MySpace</item> 153 <item>http://www.myspace.com/</item> 154 <item>Facebook</item> 155 <item>http://www.facebook.com/</item> 156 <item>Wikipedia</item> 157 <item>http://www.wikipedia.org/</item> 158 <item>eBay</item> 159 <item>http://www.ebay.com/</item> 160 <item>CNN</item> 161 <item>http://www.cnn.com/</item> 162 <item>New York Times</item> 163 <item>http://www.nytimes.com/</item> 164 <item>ESPN</item> 165 <item>http://espn.go.com/</item> 166 <item>Amazon</item> 167 <item>http://www.amazon.com/</item> 168 <item>Weather Channel</item> 169 <item>http://www.weather.com/</item> 170 <item>BBC</item> 171 <item>http://www.bbc.co.uk/</item> 172</string-array> 173</pre> 174<p>Like and Android application resource, the platform will load alternate resources based on the platform configuration values. See <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/resources-i18n.html">Resources and Internationalization</a> in the Android SDK for details. To configure bookmarks for a specific mobile network operator, place your customized bookmarks in a separate <code>strings.xml</code> file and place it under a Mobile Network Code (MNO) specific resource folder. For example, <code>Browser/res/values-mccXXX-mncYYY/strings.xml</code> where XXX and YYY represent the three-digit MCC and two to three digit MNC values.</p> 175<p>Android loads any configuration-specific resources as override values for the default values, so it is only necessary to include the bookmarks string-array values in this file.</p> 176 177 178 179<a name="androidEmailProviderCustomization"></a> 180<h3>Email Provider Customization</h3> 181 182<p>The default email provider settings are stored as string resources in the Email application
