[Q] I want your help.......?

hi
I have original 2.1 (eclair mod ) installed in my milestone
and i want to customize it ( change status bar, add and remove apps.......)
without installing new custom rom.
so can any help me how to do this ?
thanks in advance

i use 7-Zip to open .apk then you can edit/replace file in apk file
to change or edit .9.png file you need other program like 9patch or draw9patch to save in good format.
the main file to edit is framework-res.apk practically all theme is in that file
all system file does not need signing but all other should be sign before you put back in phone and don't forget to zipaling all file that you touch/edit.
many tutorial are available on the net on how to theme android for more in deep detail.

thanks a lot
I'll try

well first do a nandroid backup of your rom then copy to pc, now extract system.img with unyaffs.
then you have all system file of your rom to play with.
after all your change copy file to sdcard/openrecovery/update/test-update-nosign.zip, don't forget to remove babble
i am using OpenRecovery_v1_46
hope it help

look for unyaffs.exe
then in a cmd windows type: unyaffs system.img

I've done it and i hope it works
but regarding the nandroid backup there are another files like
boot,bpsw,data.img........
are these files important in making custom rom?
thanks again

what's the version of your Rom?

Firmware version : 2.3.4
baseband version I9001XXKP4
Kernel Version : [email protected] #7
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.XXKP4
I use Go launcher (from my opinion it's the best), if you think otherwise please post the better launcher, I am opened to experiment others.
Many thanks,
Ciprian

I don't have a I9001XXKP4 Rom in my hard drive. If you can send your your framework-res.apk, I can make one for you.

hey guys!
just used this. twice great kitchen, really revamped some of the more boring icons on stock roms. thanks for the tip!!

1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_signed.zip is the file that I updated the updater-script so you can flash it in the in-build recovery.
1framework-res_I9001XXKP4_original_signed.zip is your original file. If there are any issues, you can flash it back in the in-build recovery.
How to:
Copy the zip file to the internal SD card, not the external one, go to recovery, flash it.

can i use it on 2.3.6 rom?

nope because you will end up in a bootloop by flashing this
its only for XXKP4

urm, Ive tried to do as you told in post number 2(by cooking it according to my own preference)
but my problem starts from step number 5
5. Update the updater-script file, resign the zip file.
Click to expand...

I already received the cooked file
but I dont know how to change the update script and end up failing to update using the zip file.
can you please help me?
or link me to a place that really can help me to learn better on changing the update script.

try this one, I updated the updater-script, you can compare it with the one from kitchen.
PS: Forgot to update the update-binary file, now try the new one. It should work.

Thanks!!!! But I got an error that states
E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 2)
I wonder whats wrong.
looked in a thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194245&page=3
and from what I understand it seems to be a problem with the update binary. But Im just an end user and this is too much for me.
anyway maybe Ill try to flash the cranium ROM and try to cook again a new one and use your update script.
cheers!!

Hi,
Is there any posibility to change framework-res.apk file without CWM? I don't want to instal CWM becouse of it has a problem with front side cam and I need this cam. It's can't be overwritten when the phone works. Maybe some adb and push command is possible.
Could you help me by describing the whole procedure? Sorry for my English.

@quest221
Can you maybe make one for Android 2.3.5 like the screenshot @ page 1?
I have baseband I9001XXKPF, Build XXKPG

I update the zip file with the new update-binary file.

Yes, I just use the recovery from Samsung, not the third-party.
Check the post #2, that's the steps. Also replace the update-binary file with the one in my zip file.

[Q] need (my files) app on captivate

does anyone know if there is a apk file or something so i could flash the my files app on my cappy that usually come on the cappy with the official firmwares? i just need some kind of file to do that because i dont like astro and es file manager, etc. even a link to somewere where this has been done before would help, thanks.

I don't have an answer for you, just a recommended alternative in case you cannot find My Files.
I put Dual File Manager on every rom I try.

View attachment MyFiles.apk

sorry about that

Why did you just open a new thread for that???
Take this apk and follow any of the ways i described in that thread....and in the future DON'T OPEN NEW THREADS FORE THE SAME THING!

sorry, then how do i do that with the apk file? like how do i make that a tar file or something to flash it with odin

Don’t give me a fish, teach me how to fish.

I would like to help you fishing but I'M NOT RESPOSIBLE IF YOU ENDED BY CACHING A SHARK
I had downloaded a rom with removed bootloader from annson08 thread, by opening the .tar archive i noticed that he did just removed the arm11boot file from the package nothing else.
so maybe removing this file from your ROM and flashing it like usual will do the trick

i know that he just removed arm11boot but when i did that with many method i didn't succed to add it to "odin multi downloader" it crashs every time when i add the new file without bootloader i think that is not just unpack,remove and repack there is something special to make odin fish a fish not a shark

I believe the method requires linux (/cygwin)...

yeah i used cygwin too but i failed to make the output file work on odin!!!
i used this method from yagya:
Code:
cd firmware_directory
// Goes inside firmware directory
tar -cf firmware_name.tar amss mibib oemsbl qcsbl boot.img recovery.img system.rfs csc.rfs
// This will create a tar_file named firmware_name.tar containing all the files mentioned afterwards. You'll need to check if all files except arm11boot are included or not and add (or remove) to or from above list.
md5sum firmware_name.tar >> firmware_name.tar
// Checks md5sum of the tar file.
mv firmware_name.tar >> firmware_name.tar.md5
// Renames the firmware file. The outcome of this is your flashable zip file.
[optional] gzip firmware_name.tar.md5
//zips the firmware_name.tar.md5 file as gz format. It is easier while sharing the file since it reduces the file size by almost 50 %.

you did everything correct but the problem of Odin crashing is its a md5 file then you remove the arm11boot md5 of file changes which makes the Odin crash
steps to correct it:-
1. extract everything from package
2. delete arm11boot
3. then download a software which can create a tar package
4. with that software create an empty tar package
5. put all the files in that tar package
then then you are ready to flash

[Q] SO-04E system with deodex???

I am a complete noob in phones and androids and crap.
I'm not sure what on earth this thing is, it is a .7z file and has a folder called system.
It has all the files in the system folder and even as build.prop.
Does anyone know what a .7z file is and what can I do with the file in it.
And also I'm not sure what a deodex is...
Do I copy and replace the whole system file in my xperia SP?

odex file means the system keep in a bundle... it does not allow adv custamization.. some mod flash need deoxed yr system first or u maybe end up in bootloop... u need to deodex yr firmware before flashing the file... check the android development for proper guide...
the file u posted does not need to deodex... but it always a good things to deodex first... cheers :laugh:
