help with deodexing gratiend 0.61 rom - Legend Android Development

i'm really enjoying the new gratiend 0.61 rom, works really great. but i have a little problem with the orientation of the hebrew langugae.
in hebrew we write from right to left so the numbers in the rom get mixed up and all of the hebrew text are alligned to the left instead to the right.
in previous versions i fixed it myself by fixing the framework.jar file that contained the classes.dex file.
in this version they used odex files and so BlaY0 suggested me to deodex all of the framework files.
the problem is that i'm a little new to phone hacking and everywere i look deodexing described as a long tiring procedure and everyone says it would just be better to use another rom, i thing i wouldn't like to do.
is there an easier way to do this or someone who could do it for me?
i would really appreciate any help on the matter.
edit:
i think i miss understood BlaY0, he said something about uploading it to a kitchen and deodex?
sorry for the very very noobish question, but what is the kitchen?

This is actually a Q for general discussion...
Kitchen is:

What kitchen are you using? I know joshkoss has a kitchen here, his kitchen is real simple to use. Do a search using the link in my sign.
JOSH kittchen is the best for me.. but not visual things.. also is not but for me..
just put what you need in correct folder and thats all

?? how to modify an OEM package (i guess) on a ROM ??

Hi! I'd like to know if it is possible to modify an OEM package on a rom. I'm not sure this is how it's called. What I mean is that i'd like to remove some programs that are automatically installed after a new rom is installed (when winmo launches for the first time).. like the custom taskbar or the 4 rows in the start menu..
Actually, i already dumped some roms but then i don't really know how to recombine the files, also don't know nothing about signing, unsigning them and can't qite figure why some programs are asking for bin files instead of nbh (or nbf)
Thanks in advance for your time
id also like to know please :].
maybe someone can create a video? that would be a good way to help others with clarity..
well, seems to be quite a difficult task.. i figured the cook has to provide his ERV file for us to be able to modify his rom (even for a slight modification...) tough luck it is :s
There are quite a few kitchen thread for rhodium! Have you searched and looked? I dont think I understand what you say anyways!!
Look for the kitchen here, and read the thread. Most of your questions has been answered in this forum oneway or the other.
Are you using a kitchen now? If so, what is it? And why not ask for help in the kitchen thread?

[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...

Quite an old topic, you'd be better off just creating a new thread.

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

Touche
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
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] Modding rom files

when it comes to modifying the xml files that come with a roms framework, I would have to use backsmali to disassemble the framework odex file right? Provided my rom hadn't already ben deodexed.
After doing that will I still have to decompile the apk before the xml files become tradable again? I've tried looking around for threads on the topics. But all information I can find about these things, the threads don't relate to the same subject so its hard to put compiling and smali together when everything is using different examples to explain themselves.

This guide for modifying android policy might help
Yeah! That's the thread that got me started. But when it comes to using smali I'm not really sure, because the how to's I've read on that really only explain how to deodex files.
I'm trying to figure out what happens next. Because the OP of that thread doesn't go into detail.
