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

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.

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.
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..

what i can advice you is..
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...

Well AFAIK you need to decompile the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and change a lot of things in there. Have a look in my noob how to, there are links to short guides of how to by huexxx and gabwerkz.
You can also find a lot about theming when you use the search up there. It's pretty much the same for every device, although filenames and paths might differ
Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can find a tutorial for how to make roms for the Samsung galaxy s6.I'm a beginner so I need to know which files as well as how to use them. Any help is greatly appreciated.

It depends, stock or aosp? With a stock rom just download one already made and a untouched stock system then figure out how the developer did what he did then make your own with the knowledge you gained. You will probably need a kitchen to make the installer script because that is a pain to do yourself. Aosp is a whole different bag of marbles but cyanogenmod has a good tutorial on how to do it and that knowledge will transfer to non cyanogenmod builds as well. If you are not competent with Linux learn that first. I would suggest arch Linux because it will force you to learn the command line. cygwin won't compile aosp so don't even think about trying that shortcut.

I appreciate your feed back and I want to start with stock and go from there. I've programmed before which was done by writing all the code just not android. That is why I'm asking for tutorial to show me what, where, and when. It is not something just because I'm curious I really want to get involved and see if it is worth my time. So I need to know as much up front as possible which once I understand that then I can go forward.

Not much coding in stock, more like shuffling stuff around. The closest thing to programming with custom stock roms is the edify script (installer script).

What I mean is command line will not be a problem for me since I have written code before which uses a type of command line. I'm looking for the tools needed to do the roms you say something about kitchen and what else? Maybe I'm just making this harder then I need to but I'm just trying to learn how to make roms of my own and need a place to start.

Yeah I don't know of any tutorials, other than what I suggested in my first post your best bet is to just jump in head first and use google when you get stuck.
If you go to infamous rom developments webpage which I can't post here because I will get in trouble. He has a full step by step guide how to do everything from stock roms to aosp and even kernels.

I went to check out that guide to make sure you are going in the correct direction and found it wants you to use the old dsixda kitchen which has been abandoned. Use archi kitchen instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597220
Try to use the kitchen for compiling the installer script only, you'll figure stuff out faster that way.

This is a basic question, but for the life of me I can't find a tutorial in how to deodex system files for the S6 that actually work. Tried a few but afterwords when decompiled they don't show smali files. Anyone have a way to do this?
