[Q] Searching for an automated way to deodex and zipalign

There are some ROMs around that are deodexed and zipaligned. The ROMs around here unfortnately are themed (not to my taste) and/or have removed Samsung stuff that i use. I want a nearly untouched FW (i remove a few Samsung apps on my own).
So i'm searching for an automated method (that can also be used for future FWs) to deodex and zipalign the files of my phone (maybe only some binaries or java applications and a batch file).
I can manage to pull/push all files from/to /system/app and /system/framework but i'm not able to do the rest...

Also very interested in this. Or a clean kitchen or a how to on making a kitchen to mod our roms.

I just wanted to create a thread about MODIFYING / CREATING CUSTOM ROMS FOR THE i9000.
Does anyone know how to modify (for example, Tayutama's JPM Full ROM) ROMs?
I googled and just found some HTC ROM HowTo's.

Check my signature for all the tools u shud need in terms of deodexing, editing apks, creating signed update.zip. Thats all you really need i think :\

A zipaligner is missing.

yes that'd be perfect! trying to optimize my device myself here too.
if there's no automated way could someone be so kind to post some instructions as to how?
found some stuff on the g1 forums but i'm not sure if it'll work...

Request Stock unmodified framework-res.apk

Hy guys. I'm trying to create a theme for my phone and wondered could anyone upload the nexus 1's stock unmodified framework-res.apk?
Thanks in advance.
Tryed allready the search button and google to no avail.

How about starting with the fact that there is no "stock", you need to define the OS version / build? Specifically, it was originally shipped with ERD79, upgraded to ERE27, then Froyo came and it was FRF91, and now it's 2.2.1, FRG83. What is "stock"?
When you answer that question, why don't you visit my signature, download ROM of your choice from there, and extract the framework-res.apk out of it? It might take less time than waiting for someone to do it, especially that most people that are capable of doing it and have their phone rooted, run custom ROMs...

Alternatively, you could just get it from your phone.....
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

First off thank you for answering. Second why all the "attack".
I'll refrase my question:
I would like, if I don't disturb you, an unmodified froyo stock version framework-res.apk.
Any version would do.
The reason that I don't extract mine is that I don't own a nexus 1. As visible in my signature I own a galaxy S. And yes mine is rooted also, and yes it's modified mutch like yours, and I would like to modifie it some more, hense the request for framework-res.apk.
I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure how to extract it from a rom that is not flashed in a phone.
Yes I'm a little newbie in some things but I came here to learn and to try things. I didn't ask either of you to build me a rom or make me anything, thats what I'm trying to do myself, and not bother anyone whit my wishes.
A bit off topic. Sorry for that. If you can't or won't upload thats fine to.
PS You don't have to be mean.

I've uploaded for you framework-res.apk from old Enomther's build, which is somewhat resembling stock. I really don't want to download 80MB of a stock ROM only to extract a file from there and put it here. And as I said, most people that are rooted and run stock ROMs aren't able to help you, having no idea what to do because they rooted the phone without any understanding, and those that are, mostly run custom ROMs and don't have stock ROM available. My current framework-res won't help you either, because it's modified.
Nexus ROM is a simple ZIP file, packed with exactly the same directories as the ROM, and all the files in them. In the /system/app, you find framework-res. Extracting the file from there is as simple as extracting the file from any ZIP archive.
This wasn't an attack, but an explanation and suggestion to do something yourself. Obviously it didn't work.

Thank you. And your wrong it did work. It made my keep reading and managed to extract from a stock rom I downloaded. So I have to thank you because you made me work harder and now I know how to extract files from an .img.
PS I still think you were talking a little bit like you are superior to others.
No offense of course that is just my opinion and it might be very wrong.
Again thank you for your help and I mean that sincerely.

Well, I was maybe a bit sarcastic, but I didn't mean to offend you at all. Sorry if it sounded harsh.
P.S. I completely forgot that stock ROM doesn't look like custom ROMs, and contains complete IMGs. There is an easy way to extract them - using unyaffs - but you already know it, since you did it. I'm really sorry for forgetting that part, if I'd remember that - I'd point you to the relevant guide to begin with. My bad.

[Q] Adding Libs to roms..

As the title says - Adding libs to roms, can someone point me in the right direction? I have been a member of this forum for a while, just not a posting member, I now feel it is my time to add something back to the community, is it as simple as adding it to the rom whilst flashed to an X8? Please help me, maybe I can bring something back to the community..

just flash the room and then use 'root explorer' to play with lib
make sure your phone rooted
peace!

Thank you, I will try that, I am wishing to work on a ROM and get wifi, 3G and such working, however I have tried using ADB to push the libs but I don't know if it worked or not..

I want to make the whole sense rom work, BUT I can't access the system files without having the rom installed which is pretty gay.. I need some way of accessing it in the .img format which then I can flash to my phone to test... mshhh... plus I'm not quite sure which libs will work (ofcourse when I find out I will seek permissions before uploading the rom...)

To open .img you could use Winimage or Poweriso or something similar.

Already tried, same problem... I found an unyaffs2 program compiled for windows which allowed me to extract the image I just need to mkyaffs2 it back to img then maybe I can get it working BUT I need to be in Linux and I can't be bothered making a VM at the moment...
Maybe someone can help me with this? We could work together to make a fully working sense rom... come on people.. someone who wants this must have a bit of knowledge on the subject...

[Q] dsxda Kitchen, updater or update-script?

Hey guys, just a short question, I am just trying to cook "my own Rom" and therefor I am using the Kitchen. When I wanna build it and also at the very beginning, I am being asked, if I wanna change updater-script to update-script.
Now 1. Should I change it?
2. Whats the difference between em?
Especially at the beginning, since this probably changes most...
Sorry I am still Noob and I guess I still gotta learn a lot here
-edit- It's all about v20n btw

If you convert to update-script you can see info about the ROM in the kitchen (don't know what else), but before building the rom change back to updater-script or else it won't flash.

Thankss

How hard is it?
I would really like to become an Android Developer. Have a some noob questions...
I cut my android teeth on a Samsung Infuse <-Learned to root & flash get hooked on seeing what amazing things my little smartphone could do.
I most recently upgraded my phone to the LG Optimus G.
1st Question maybe a no brainer ... Should I learn to develop for my now unused Infuse or jump straight to the LGOG? I think I know the answer duh... why mess up my good working phone.
I have some knowledge of Linux witch I think will help. Should I learn to develop on a Windows computer or Linux? I am leaning toward the Linux.
Another reason to start with the Samsung is I think source is available and many other ROMs already exist so getting help from these devs may be easier and the only source available from the LG is ICS and everyone seems to want JB.
Looking forward to learning more and getting started.
swub1

1.I'd start with the infuse if you mess something up you still have your new phone
2.If your just theming and messing with already built ROMs and stuff windows is perfered if you want to build from source you will need a 64bit Linux system Ubuntu is nice and can be installed along side windows so that's nice
There is a lot of info in the xda community and learning to build can be fun and agrovating at the same time good luck with it

I also have a question:
How do I include a kernel into the zip of a rom so that when I flash the rom the kernel also gets flashed at the same time.
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2 with XXLSJ.
Thanks in advanced....

Ahhh. Damn. I believe it's pretty easy. With HTC devices though.. it's gotta be somewhere on the section though. Check XDA Uni. They probably have an answer. Please hit the thanks button. Trying to get more. People can't be bothered to click it these days.

if you open the .zip file for your rom it should have a zimage file that is the kernel so if you want to swap just download a flashable zip of the kernel you want open it and there should be zimage, now put that zimage with the rom you want. you can do this with 7zip just double click to open dont extract the rom zip you can extract the kernel from the the kernel .zip and drag the zimage for th ekernel you want to the opened rom.zip then close and flash

This is why people brick their devices when people that has no idea what their talking about give advice! First of all the kernel in a ROM comes as a boot.img and second you can't just switch out the zimage when their is more than the zimage for it to probably work. You need the modules as well... I would recommend you not give advice unless u either know 100% of what your talking about or don't give advice in these specific forums where noobs lurk and don't know good advice from bad....
Now to answer your question...
You have 2 options if your kernel comes as a boot.img just replace it with the one from the ROM and replace lib/modules from the kernel to the rom, and flash away...
The second option is if your kernel comes in a zimage and the ROM comes as a boot.img then you will have to unpack the boot.img from the rom and then replace the zimage and pack the boot.img but to do that you will need to be in Linux or VirtualBox... This can't be done thru windows, but recently there have been programs that can unpack the boot.img thru windows but I always use Linux.
So post how your kernel comes in either a boot.img or zimage and how the room has its kernel we can help u more after that.

Ah okay then just replace the zimage in the rom with the one from the kernel as well as the libs/modules or u will lose WiFi etc & Flash...

I do apologize I've personally never seen a rom come with a zimage before I've always seen it come already as a boot.img. so I apologize to the previous member I ranted about.
