you will need to set the PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS build time var in your product defining makefile. This should be set to the relative path of your overlay dir. The overlay dir contains a sparse mirror of the source tree with just the resource files you wish to overlay.
For example, from the root of your dev tree: framework/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml - the real file in with all the other src files vendor/foo/product/MyProduct.mk (includes PRODUCT_PACKAGE_OVERLAYS := vendor/foo/myoverlay) vendor/foo/myoverlay/framework/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml - the overlay copy, may only have this one file in myoverlay You should not modify the base/core/res makefile.
