I'd like it to be proof-read by somebody else. Not meaning to be disparaging to your possible skill, but a guide written with the same rampant disregard of English shown here is likely to lead to confusion. Guides and tutorials should be written mindful of the fact that exactness and clarity is required.
I would really like to know how to sign a ROM... mainly because I'd like to be able to modify existing ROMs with different apps and ringtones prior to flashing, which would be MUCH easier than having to do everything through Terminal after flashing.
It would help if there was a list of hero apps that would work when creating a normal G1 rom (not hero).

Look in the theme forum for stericson's auto-signing tool. You can sign roms with it. Its reallyeasy to set up and you can use it to sign .zip files. Its what i use with all my themes and it works great
I am at work on my phone right now but when i get home i will edit this post with a link to it if i remember

Hello,
Since I am not allowed to post this under the proper thread, I guess I am going to have to put it here till I can get more post credits. Anyways the links to the Revolutions .tot files that jackpot08 posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386 have gone stale and will not allow me to download them anymore. Does anyone else have these files (in particular the v7 .tot) and if so, could someone please upload them to some file sharing site and share the link. I love you all very much and keep doing what you do!

My knowledge about the android development is mediocre....I have Samsung galaxy tab 2 P3100.....I rooted that myself and i can flash different roms.....thats all i know about android....Any help will be appreciated...
Is there any way i can edit .apk file. I want to change the GUI of a particular application. The name of the application is 7notes with mazec.
the attachment contains 2 images.
1) This is how the original app looks like [red square]
2) I want the app to look like this...
I can send the .apk file or only instructions also will do...
Thanks in advance!!
Similarly can i edit the GUI of any application..
You can edit the .apk but you have to decompile with apktool and edit .xml files to accomplish this. I'm no programmer but I have learned how to decompile and recompile .apk and make minor adjustments. If you know how to write xml then it shouldn't be that difficult but first you should search the forums for how to use apktool.

Akshay, your welcome. The link Xperience provided seems to be an excellent guide to apk edits. Once you learn how to decompile and start relating the xml coding with how things are laid out in the UI, you should be able to figure out how to produce the output that you want. Good luck.

Great stuff. It is now about figuring out how to go about repositioning the images, but that task is something you're going to have to do I'm afraid as it can be a time consuming process, especially when learning, plus repositioning is above my skill set.

Booroondook has first done FUSE ROM and now there is he again... Bravo! Many, many improvements and fixes. Sorry he is not paying attention to XDA (doing all really for free, not for donations here) but he deserves all credits.
Full Post translation and download link
Here is the full post with download link, please donate to the dev if you like his work.
The firmware is designed as a "designer" under both options screen resolutions (800x480 and 1024x600). Everyone can afford to assemble his own version. How to assemble the firmware is described in detail here:
The order of assembly of the firmware
The firmware is available as a set designer or "do it yourself" - as anyone this thing called - and is a set of modules for self-assembly of the finished image of the firmware. The assembly is made on a computer running Windows (versions from XP and higher).
How to assemble:
1) Download the archive unpack into any empty folder on your computer (the full path to the folder does not contain spaces, non-Latin characters, punctuation marks and special characters, so not recommended for unpacking on the desktop, in the "My Documents", etc. )
2) turn in this same folder
3) Run start_rus.bat file (or start_eng.bat, if you are dearer to the English interface)
4) you will be asked to choose a processor. Only two options - RK3066 and RK3188. The selection is made by entering the numbers specified opposite processor type, and then pressing the Enter key
5) The following sentence - to select the screen resolution. Options are also two - 800x480 and 1024x600. The selection is made in the same manner as in the previous paragraph
6) After this, the firmware build process, which takes less than 10 seconds.
7) The result of the process - file update_ <vash_protsessor> _ <vashe_razreshenie> .img, which, after renaming update.img you can sew in a familiar way radio When you first start after flashing is (as usual in my firmware) conducted preset application and then fit /system/build.prop configuration file under the processor type and resolution (800x480 for the recorder will be installed screen density of 160 to 1024x600 - 240). Then reboot, after which the tape recorder will be completely ready for operation.
Features flashing process. Due to the fact that changing breakdown flash memory sections (including as compared with previously released on FUSE-firmware Android 4.4.4), the process can be performed in two stages, both stages are the same.
That is, you normally install firmware mode rekaveri (thus necessarily choosing the option with full data cleaning). The device is rebooted and ... hang on animated screensaver. If you want to wait, wait - but the result is not guaranteed. If you do not want to wait, press the RESET, then (without releasing RESET'a) - POWER. Without releasing the POWER, release the RESET, waiting 3 seconds and release POWER. All - a few seconds later we are back in rekaveri mode where once again just repeat the flashing process - again, choose the menu item, involves the installation of firmware and data cleaning, and ... forward. After the second cassette recorder firmware to be released to the operating mode (although longer than usual, as is the formation of the primary file system).
Option: instead of the second flashing, you can try to select a lower menu item - "clean and reset to factory condition."
As you understand, all your data will be lost after flashing, so advance reservations and they do not say I did not warn.
Attention!!! Those who do not have the RESET button and mechanical buttons. Before flashing be sure to ask if you can overload the radio in rekaveri mode from the "hung" or off state. If this method is not, then you better not reflash.
OTA-upgrade
The firmware is the possibility of prompt automatic updates. OTA (Over the Air - "air") or FOTA (Firmware Over the Air) - a technology that allows to (semi-) automatically obtain and install the update packages. User Intervention here minimum - it is only necessary to press the button, confirming compliance with the installation. Well, there is still a button manually check for updates. And all the rest State makes self - sends a request to the server, downloads the update package, checks it for validity (verifies the certificate used to sign the update package with a key available in the firmware), reloads the State in rekaveri mode where automatically launches the update process, and finally PG reboots to the operating mode.
Naturally, for the possibility of State OTA-update should have a working Internet connection. Automatic prompting to check for updates are sent automatically after every download SI operating mode and communication with the Internet. If desired, you can request a renewal of the "out of order" by pressing the appropriate button in the dialog "Settings" - "About your device" - "OTA update system." Another essential requirement to enable OTA updates - is the availability of free space on the "GPS-card" (/ mnt / external_sd), and (of course) the availability and serviceability of the card itself. In case of problems with the card update can be downloaded to start, but then will be a network error. Available space on the card must be two times larger than the size of the update package. As practice shows, the usual pack "weighing" of up to 20 MB. Although there are cases of 55-MB blocks. In general, if you keep on the card 120 MB of free space, the problems you should not be.
Cancellation OTA update? Unfortunately, a simple interactive option is not provided. But you can do the following: Open the file for editing /system/build.prop. Find it (towards the end of the file) option ro.product.ota.host = www.booroondook.ru: 2300. Replace the URL-address of the update server (www.booroondook.ru:2300) to something "obscene". For example, suppose that this line will look like this: ro.product.ota.host = localhost. Save the file, restart the SU. Everything - Updates you will not torture any more.
Disclaimer: The self-fulfilling complicated technical procedure for flashing the device, you will definitely take full responsibility for possible negative consequences up to the irrevocable failure of your head unit.
Version - from 06/03/2016
Link to the firmware (made on the basis of KLD-20160511): https://mega.nz/#!XFZUQKAI!H2L7gsRIuVn1D7x7slQjE_XclmVP6RWXRp-VRmc5-uU
Innovations regarding the factory options:
- Cloning a resolution of 800x480 by kernel patch (kernel.img)
- Completely redesigned Russian translation
- Root access running SuperSU
- 5 launcher to choose from ( "Settings" - "Desktop")
- 4 options "Bluetooth" application ( "Telephone"), 5 application options, "Music" and "Radio". Alternative applications are installed through the "OEM" application, return to the original (nominal) version - after the usual removal of the application settings ( "Uninstall updates")
- In settings Added "For Developers", "Screen" - "Font size" and "Display" - "Display Density"
- In settings added to the monitoring data
- OTA-update functionality
- Added missing "OEM" applications, "Weather", "DVR" (Annex "Weather" - in the version revised respected vitarkananda)
- Added widgets "Weather", "Music", "Telephone", "Video" and "Navigation", ported from the firmware for MTCD
- Partition "OEM" is increased to 384 MB. This section can be used, for example, as a "warehouse" APK-relevant distributions
- Built-in support for working with trip computer Multitronics MPC-800 (Bluetooth-name DUAL-SPP)
Attention:
1) please do not ask questions why this firmware does not work Xposed. The answer is - it does not work and on the drive firmware, and generally have Xposed big problem with Android 5 (or higher). When someone finds a way to get to work on our Xposed firmware, in principle, I immediately implement it in its firmware.
2) Management of screensaver (MTCScreenClock.apk) is only possible through /system/build.prop File Edit (parameters ro.product.screenclock = true | false and ro.product.screentimeout = 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 30 | 60 ). Interactive control timeout in the factory firmware is not provided, and I realize it too failed.
Note: Because an application "Weather" uses a revised version of vitarkananda, the new version of the application (as they become available) can be installed instead of the usual simple by replacing labor-intensive system file.
For developers, the public certificate signed APK following: MTCBlueTooth.apk, MTCMusic.apk, MTCRadio.apk, MTCScreenClock.apk. This means that signing their "swing" application to the same certificate (and increasing code version), you can give users the ability to easily install your development instead of forcing them to carry out the replacement of system files with setting permissions.

Your "cleaning" means no one has a clue what on earth has gone on and what all the "drama" was, as there appears to be just 2 posts left, one a quote from booroondook on xda.
It would probably be best if you removed the text from your post, or simply put "Moderator cleaned thread" or something, - currently your post confuses everyone as youve removed text and/or posts, so no one knows what you are talking about.
Since when are 4pda.ru links not allowed ? I have used them and seen them used many times over the past 2 years, or is that just referring to their use in thread titles ?

The main reason is because 4pda is rife with piracy, warez, and there are major issues with GPL compliance on that site. You're also not meant to direct members to competing forums.

There is no way for you or I to know if that work is actually original. 4pda is notorious for kanging. On the surface it looks like original work but no way to prove that. This is beside the point though; 4pda is blacklisted for all of the rotten crap that takes place there, it's that crap that pulls down any original work that might be posted.

Answered 10 times already!
MCU is not important, you already have MTCB unit so you can flash MTCB roms (4.4.4. or 5.1.1.)
you are probably afraid because of ksp-v2.86, that does not matter so you can flash any MTCB based rom.

Does anyone know how modifing exception apks for MTCScreenClock? After I modified Build.prop to activate the Screenclock, it only works when radio apk, music apk,... are working and I'd like it works always except when I'm using GPS navigator.
By the other hand, I'd like to change transparent background for MTCScreenclock and I know that the installed MTCScreeclock.apk is not the issue because I used the same and it wasn't transparent in KitKat versions. Thank you
