Resigning ROMS?

Ok so im a noob when it comes to coding. I want to replace the wallpaper that comes in some roms and from my understanding when I extract the .zip rom to replace them, I have to resign the .zip for it to work. If this is true, how do I resign them?

first make sure you grab all the signing tools (do a search and you'll find Stericson's stuff somewhere)
extract the zip of the update.zip
now in the main folder you should see META-INF
go in there and remove the three files that are not folders
now go up one level back to main folder
depending on how they packaged the update, you should see either a system or app folder
if you see system, then go into it and then into app
if you see app, then go into it
now you should see some .apks
the one you want is Launcher.apk
use 7z and open the archive
now navigate to the res/drawable folder and you should find your wallpapers in there
just use the name of a wallpaper thats in there that you dont like and replace it with the wallpaper you want
now navigate to the main directory of Launcher.apk
delete the META-INF folder
now close 7z
resign Launcher.apk
now navigate to the main folder of the update.zip
zip it all up again and resign the new .zip file
sorry if the instructions arent that clear .. its kinda late and been studying for a midterm for some time now .... PM me up if you need any more help

Note, this will not work if your SDK or the path that you place this in has any spaces in the dir name!
An Example of this is c:\users\Nikki and Stephen\sdk\tools
Try to put the SDK and the contents of the zip in a dir where the names are all together and not like the one above.
Ok, so I have made a batch file that will automate the entire process of setting up to use the signing tool made by JF. This batch file will set the CLASSPATH, set the PATH, install the registries, let you sign the files manually, and let you push/pull files to the phone.
In order to use this you should have downloaded the sdk already. Simply extract all of the files into the tools dir of your sdk, and run autosign.bat follow the instructions and go through the options one by one, starting with 1 working through 4. You can however, put the contents of this zip anywhere on your computer and it will work. It is just better to put them into the tools dir of your SDK. Especially for the consideration of future versions.
Enjoy,
Stericson

Standalone apk installer with adb

I made a little file where u can drag'n'drop files u want to install on ur phone.
No need of any settings.
When your phone is allready "adb ready" you dont need to have anything running.
Just take the apk File and drag on the exe and it will install. thats all.
perhaps i'll add more features soon. i made it for myself, to install the apk's faster after a full-wipe i made.
In Windows7 and Vista, it needs Admin rights (so it asks when starting) and AFTER its done, it gives an error. But it works how it should!
so don't worry
PS: Doubleclicking it won't do anything! Its Drag'n'Drop only!!

Another one by me
copy and paste the following into a file and save it on your desktop as install.bat (or whatever you fancy)
@echo off
adb install %1
pause
Then drag and drop files onto it, or associate apk files with install.bat and double click an apk file and will install to your phone.

What do u want to say with ur post?
Did i made any question? i think not, so what r u explaining and for WHO??
It's just what i made in my "tool".
Made little bigger better Tool with 5 Options now
if anyone wants it, its at the bottom.
Now u can install apks, uninstall non-stock apks, push and pull files to & from /system/app/ and reboot ur phone.
ahhh, and not it wont make any errors or need for "admin rights" when starting the tool.
Works like a charm and now it has an Sketched android in it ! Yeehaaa

your program (the install part) doesnt really work. it doesnt install. i found that making the batch file was better.

hmm ok, thats weird. for me the new tool works perfekt.
And it IS a batchfile, i just merged the needed files from adb and the .bat file to one exe file. thats all.
do u get any error when trying to install ?
You do drag and drop the file to the exe and choose install apk, right?

Geeze, are people these days so lazy that they can't move their hand off the mouse? Just type the command!!!! Its easy... "adb install {file.apk}".
You know, back in the dark ages of not very long ago, NOBODY had a mouse. Or drag and drop. EVERYTHING was on the keyboard and involved typing commands.

If you guys want and you are running Windows, check out our app. www.androidmanager.net ... we added feature for installing apk-s by double-clicking few days ago

[HOWTO] Cook your custom rom for LG P500

Hi there, we are going to use excellent dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen to cook our custom ROMs for LG P500. The list of the things we are going to need:
Original ROM (Check this thread)
LG Utils 0.4.2 (Check this URL)
DzDecryptor v1.0b(Check this thread)
Cygwin (Check this URL
Unyaffsmbn (Check this thread)
Dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen (Check this thread)
Note: I have a "romcooking" folder on my home (C:\Users\Patricio\romcooking), inside i have all the utils needed, and the .kdz file for the stock ROM. I recommend to use tab to complete filenames since they are too long.
First we need to get a dz from the kdz (original firmware), extract LG Utils 0.4.2 and open KP500-Utils-EN.exe (You need to run this as administrator, or else you are getting an empty .cab file), select the I option (Extract files from KDZ file), and type the route to your .kdz file (Mine is C:\Users\Patricio\romcooking\V10A_00.kdz). Now, you must have a V10A_00.cab (Or another name, it depends on the stock rom you downloaded), open it with a extractor like 7zip or similar and extract the file "LGP500AT-00-V10a-EUR-XX-SEP-25-2010+0.dz" or similar to our romcooking folder.
Then we are going to uncompress the .dz with DZDecrypt (Press Win + R, type cmd and enter, then you cd to the folder where DzDecrypt is located (ex:
Code:
cd C:\Users\Patricio\romcooking\DZDecryptor_v1.0b
then we type:
Code:
DZDecrypt.exe "C:\Users\Patricio\romcooking\LGP500AT-00-V10a-EUR-XX-SEP-25-2010+0.dz" C:\Users\Patricio\romcooking\stockrom
This is going to create a "stockrom" folder in our original romcooking folder, you are going to see a lot of files in the stockrom folder, the important ones are boot.img and system.mbn (DZDecrypt should have merged your system.mbn_0, system.mbn_1 and system.mbn_2)
We need to install cygwin, open the setup.exe, just keep hitting next until you are on the select packages screen, go to "Devel" menu and select to install gcc, gdb and make, in "Interpreters" check perl, in "Archive" check zip and unzip, in "Web" check wget, in "Editors" check nano and vim and in "Utils" select cpio, util-linux and ncurses. Make some tea and wait for the cygwin install to finish and we are ready to go to the next step.
We are going to compile unyaffsmbn, copy the extracted files from unyaffsmbn, system.mbn and boot.img to C:\cygwin\home\Patricio, now fire up cygwin and compile unyaffsmbn with:
Code:
gcc -o unyaffsmbn unyaffsmbn.c
Now uncompress system.mbn, delete symlinks of bin/ and zip everything with:
Code:
mkdir system
cd system
../unyaffsmbn.exe ../system.mbn
find bin -type l -exec rm {} +
cd ..
zip -r stockrom.zip boot.img system/
We are ready to go to the kitchen (We have a stockrom.zip on C:\cygwin\home\Patricio, remember that)
Now we are going to use dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen, we need to have installed JDK. After we have downloaded and uncompressed the kitchen (Mine is in C:\cygwin\home\Patricio\kitchen), we need to put the ziped file we got in the previous step into the original_update folder of the kitchen. We are ready to go! fire up cygwin and cd to the kitchen location and exec ./menu , select option 1, you should see the zip file, put the number of it, and you are ready to go (It will create a WORKING_XXXXXX_XXXXXX folder, you can modify the files in WORKING_XXXX_XXXXX/system, add APKs, modify the apns file, etc).
This command also gives us a lot of options for our rom: enable root, add busybox, deodex our files, zipalign, etc. If you are going to edit text files, use an editor like Notepad++ or any other program that can open/edit/save files in linux compliant style. It's pretty easy to use the kitchen, just check the official thread for options or help
The common options i use are:
Add root permission (option 2), press f when asked and you are done
Add Busybox
Change name of the rom, easy cake
Advanced options, press 0
Add /data/app functionality
Add Apps2SD
Add custom boot animation functionality
Deodex files in your ROM
And Finally: Zipalign all *.apk files to optimize RAM usage
That should do the trick, when you are ready to cook your rom, just type 99, wait for it to build and it should be in the OUTPUT_ZIP folder in your kitchen folder.
Took info from this thread (About decompressing .dz and .mbn, and making it to work with the kitchen), and info from ruigui and tritant in this thread. The awesome android kitchen by dsixda. Sorry if i forgot to mention any work, just post it or pm me
If you have anything you want to add to the guide, just post it

You don't need to dual boot to linux. It can be done with cygwin.
When you follow dsixda's guide to install kitchen, do as said but don't install cygwin from that guide.
Instead, download from official site, choose default options, but add these packages (it will be compliant with kitchen and give a little extra funcionality):
Devel: gcc, gdb, make
Interpreters: perl
Utils: cpio, util-linux, ncurses
Archive: zip, unzip
Web: wget
Editors: vi, nano
Good guide, nicely done
EDIT:
In my wife's machine (using windows 7 64bit. i'm without computer, for now....), i've installed cygwin as said above.
Then added two folders to my home dir:
kitchen and unyaffsmbn
In kitchen, use the kitchen
In unyaffsmbn, copy the files from unyaffsmbn.zip to that dir, then compile it there
EDIT2:
If you edit text files under windows, USE NOTEPAD++, or any other program that can open/edit/save files in linux compliant style.
There are differences in Windows and Linux when ENTER is pressed, and you'll have issues when trying to flash or run your custom ROM

hi there... thanks a lot for your guide.
I'm trying to do the things you wrote step by step... I have extracted the dz file successfully, then I extracted the content using DZDecrypter... I found three files called system.mbn0, system.mbn1 and system.mbn2. The first and second are 80 Mbytes, the third just 17... Which one is the correct? When I try to use the command "unyaffsmbn system.mbn" (obviously I renamed the first and then the second) I get an error message ("impossible to execute binary file", or somenthing like that... I don't know how's in english because I'm italian).. Is that concerning to the presence of those three different files? Did somethind go wrong with the extracting process? Or maybe I didn't do somenthing important? Before doing this, I installed "build-essential" and did "gcc -o unyaffsmbn unyaffs.h" but apparently nothing happend... I got neither errors nor processes...
can you help me?

Awesome bro, I can try to make custom rom with indian version, ty.

you shouldn't get three system.mbn files, did you used the 1.0b of DzDecryptor? when i used it, it said something about merging, i think that it gets the three files and then combines them to get a proper system.mbn

I used the downloaded version from the link you posted. At least I guess... :/ Well I'm going to try again soon! Thanks a lot again for your guide!

Other methode for exctract mbn file, not need to connect the phone.
Windows only....
(1) Download LG-Utils 0.4.2: http://www.assembla.com/spaces/ks360...tils-0.4.2.zip
(2) Run KP500-Utils-EN.exe (or whatever language you prefer out of the available choices) and select I to extract the KDZ.
(3) Open the resulting CAB file and extract the DZ file.
(4) Download DZExtract: http://www.frenchcoder.com/upload/DZExtract-V0.2.zip
(5) Use DZExtract to extract the MBN files:
DZExtract -x GW620RAT-V10c-OCT-21-2009-RGS-CA_DZ+0.dz C:\extractedTo\

after compiling and chmod I do:
Code:
[email protected]:~/work/unyaffsmbn$ unyaffsmbn system.mbn
unyaffsmbn: command not found
both files are in that folder. Am I doing anything wrong?
Cheers.
@tritant - LG-Utils link not working

So.... You MUST compile unyaffsmbn first. Only then you'll have an "executable".
Code:
gcc unyaffsmbn.c -o unyaffsmbn
Then copy system.mbn to unyaffsmbn folder.
After that, do:
Code:
cd PATH_TO_UNYAFFSMBN
./unyaffsmbn system.mbn
You missed the ./
You can download lg utils from here

btw, i'm rewriting the guide, hope to update it soon

please add the compiling method from ruigui (in the previous page). For some reason that's the only way I was able to compile on Ubuntu 10.
Cheers

It was a typo in first post (he switched file to be used in gcc).
Give the man some time to reorganize his thread

I did not mean to be rude by any means!
I appreciate the effort to create the how-to! Hopefully people will read the thread if they get stuck and use the right commands so that they don't abandon the idea of creating their own ROM

I also didnt want to call you rude... Sorry...
But we were exhanging some pms and he is redoing this tutorial.
Sometimes we make mistakes while typing long posts

installation aborted
thanks for this great tutorial
everything works like a charm , but when i flash my new rom i have an error says no enough space while writing boot image
any idea?
Update: okay i solved the problem, it seems that i missed up with the boot settings!

I finally made the zip file, but when I start the kitchen and select it, i find this:
"Warning: No META-INF folder found under working folder!
Warning: No META-INF/com/google/android folder found, creating it.
Did not find an update-script. Shall I create one (y/n)? (default: y): "
is that normal? and what should I do? :/

Get ics animations on any rom...!!!!

i am just copying and pasting capez's work all... credits goes to him
here's the guide...
1) First of all, you need to download and install APK MANAGER:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
2) Extract with WinRAR, from the ROM you want to modify, the file framework-res.apk, that you can find in the directory \System\framework\.
3) Go to the apk manager folder and place the framework-res.apk file in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding".
4) In the apk manager folder, double click on the file "Script". A cmd window will open.
5) Where it says "Please make your decision", write "22" and enter. Then enter "1" and enter. Then enter "9" and enter.
The script will decompile the framework-res.apk.
6) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\anim\.
In this folder there are the animations of your rom. They consist in some .xml files decompiled.
7) Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/?1qjwtotg1r8umm1
8) Copy the files from the folder "anims" of the zip downloaded into the anim folder and you are asked to replace the files; choose yes. Then copy also the files from the folder "other_files" to the anim folder.
9) Now go to your apk manager folder, go to Projects\framework-res.apk\res\values\. Edit the file integers.xml and put these two lines under the line of "shortAnimTime":
<integer name="config_activityShortDur">150</integer>
<integer name="config_activityDefaultDur">220</integer>
Save.
10) Return to Script. Enter "11" and enter.
The script will rebuild the framework-res.apk.
11) You are asked if this is a system application. Enter "y" and enter. Then a second question appears. Enter newly "y".
12) Then after it processes, Don't press anything & DON'T CLOSE THIS WINDOW!!! A new folder "keep" is created in the apk manager folder. Go inside it and delete the file "resources.arsc". Now go inside keep\res\anim\ and delete every file with the same name as every file of the "anims" folder of the zip downloaded.
Then return to Script and press enter. It processes, then if everything went ok, in the folder "place-apk-here-for-modding" a file "unsignedframework-res.apk" is created. Copy it outside and rename it "framework_res.apk".
13) Now you can create a flashable zip or you can simply push it to your system.
CONGRATRULATIONS!!! YOU ARE DONE!!!
And if you think this tutorial is useful, CLICK THANKS!!!

Np Cool guide.

just testing,i'll let u know about result
edit 2 : sorry for the first edit i was mistaken,it works great

Probably better suired in Android themes and apps

good tutorial! But I suggest you to mention that IT NEEDS to resign the apk after the tutorial is finished....we need to take the META-INF from the res apk decompiled, then open the unsigned apk, delete its META-INF and paste the META-INF from the original framework-res.apk...otherwise it won't work!

Interesting, thanks.

Very nice, thanks for details.

Yep, I trust you, and I was surprised too when the ROM doesn't boot cause resources apk usually don't need to be signed at all, but once I signed the frame everything work.. strange.. anyway don't care about it, the tutorial is very clear and well organized well done and Thanks

Thank you, I will try to do it..........

You can skip signing your zip file. Let's say you have a CM7 flash zip file, and have WinRAR installed.
1. EXTRACT CM7 zip, and make a backup of your zip file. In the extracted folder you'll get META-INF folder, system folder and boot.img
2. Add / remove any .apk in system/app folder. Just be cautious with several apk such as mms and phone and contacts, these are needed and should not be replaced. Gallery and music is safe to replace.
3. Add any library files (.so) you want
4. When you're done with above steps, using WinRAR, OPEN (do not extract again) CM 7 zip
5. In WinRAR you'll see the contents of your CM 7 zip. DELETE system folder.
6. Back to Windows Explorer, DRAG your extracted system folder (which now contains whatever it is that you modified) into the WinRAR window (that shows the content of your CM 7 zip file).
7. A window will pop-up asking you to change archive name. Just click OK to proceed. It will be a brief moment before your CM 7 zip has the new system folder.
8. Close the WinRAR window, and proceed with flashing.
One more thing, in folder META-INF you can look for file updater-script, which contains the syntax for flashing (mounting system and or data partition, extracting zip file contents to designated folders, setting permission and ownership for files and folders, installing busybox if any, flashing boot.img, etc.) You can open it using Notepad++. Don't mess with it yet until you figure out how things work.
Good luck !
