Hi guys, im trying to get the HO!NO rom installed on my Milestone, but im not getting. On the main thread of the ROM, have no walktrough installation and i didn`t find anywhere else. Im too usued with normal ROM installation, as CM7 and MIUI.
Can some1 please give me some idea ? Some thread i should go ?? Searched on almost all threads in development forums and got no answer.
Thanks, hope get it soon.
Bye !
If you have used openrecovery, its very easy. Copy the HONO zip file to the /nandroid/openrecovery folder in your sdcard and use the nandroid restore all option.
The folder gets created automatically if you have created a nandroid backup earlier, else create it manually.
Wipe all if you are flashing it over another rom apart from CM7. There are many topics on using nandroid in the development thread.
Have you never used nandroid before? Also I suggest using Androidiani OR.

I will start the procedure just now. Im thinking in flash the new CM7 that was released today, and then i just install the HO!NO recovery ? In my sdcard don`t have this folder, so i have to create it ? i saw somewhere a folder named /nandroid/abdrecovery.
But as u said, i have to create a /nandroid/openrecovery.
I will try now. See what happens.
Tryed now, and created the /nandroid/openrecovery folder and put the .zip in there.
Didnt recognized when i try to recover. Should i extract ?

Yes. Extract the contents of the zip file so that you have a folder with image files inside.
Sorry abt missing it in the previous post. That's what happens when you start typing in your sleep.
Please use AOR.

Thanks, will try again.
Well, i extracted and still didnt recognized. I did this way:
/nandroid/openrecovery/ let the files on the ROOT, not in HO!NO folder. All on openrecovery root.
Are u sure that is the folder i have to create ?
Thanks again.
Hi again, i guess i made it. Instead of letting files on the root, let it on the HO!NO folder and the openrecovery recognized as a recover.
Now, the weird part is that don`t seems to be ALL working. On the HO!NO topic, the pics he posted have a THEME, and mine appears to have no theme, just a regular one.
Am i doing something wrong ? Thanks!
Guys, i still didnt make it. Flashed CM7 (wiping everythin), then installed the OH!NO! recovery. It`s working weird. I install programs, and when reboot the phone, the programs are not on the list.
I don`t know what to do.
Guess i will back to normal CM7 release.
This is a detailed tutorial about modifying or making your own custom roms....but not as regular method... It is a new method...
So...lets start....
In this Guide...you will come to know how to--
Modifying rom..
Adding apps and removing..
Changing bootanimation, rom's name, fonts, ringtones...etc.
A new and easy method to make the rom....
::Requirements::
Galaxy Mini..
A windows PC.
Some basic knowledge..
Time and Patience(most imp)
::Important Tools::
7zip or any other zip manager>>Download Here<<
Update Zip Packager>>Download Here<<
Notepad++ >>Download Here<<
Dsixda's Kitchen..(OPTIONAL)..>>XDA Link<<
::About "BaseRom".zip::
Now, suppose, your base rom is CyanogenMod7.zip...
So...when u will extract that zip...u will see there...
META-INF (Folder)
system (Folder)
boot.img
META-INF :
This folder contains the files which are related to your recovery....in simple words...these files guide your recovery to flash zip, set permissions and some other things...
So...the change that we want here is to add the text that our recovery shows while flashing the rom...look in the extras for the tut...
boot.img :
This file contains Kernel of ur rom....and it also contains splash screen of ur rom....which u can edit...!! Look in extras..
NOW, the main thing..
::Main Tutorial::
Download your base rom and flash it....(without editing anything).
Flash Gapps..
Flash some other material such as Bravia Engine, Audio Enhancements, Scripts, Tweaks, etc
Flash each n every thing that you want in your rom...
Flash any theming material..which u want in ur rom
If you are modifying some system apps such as phone.apk, systemui.apk, framework-res.apk....then modify them one by one and flash them..
When you are done your theming, tweaking, and rest of the things...(now, you are running your rom having your desired theme, scripts, tweaks...)
Now....go to CWM recovery and do a Nandroid backup..
After the backup is completed...locate to the folder in sd-card where the backup file is created..(SD-Card>clockworkmod>backup>.....)
In this "backup" folder...you will see a folder named as the date when you have taken the backup..
In that folder...you will see a file - system.ext4.tar.
Copy that system.ext4.tar file in your PC...
Extract the file...you will see a folder - system
Now, this "system" folder is your Rom's system folder.. having all scripts, tweaks and theming...
Just delete the folder "lost+found" in that system folder and take this folder to the folder where your META-INF and boot.img are...
IMPORTANT:You have to delete "xbin" folder from the extracted system folder and then u have to copy and paste the original xbin folder to that folder..
::Extras::
Editing build.prop :
Locate to the system folder....open build.prop and edit it as you want by adding lines to it...refer this link...
Adding and Removing Apps :
Under system>>app folder copy the apps that you want to add to your rom...also remove the apps that you want...but click here to know the list of apps that can be removed...
Adding UI print to the meta-inf :
Locate to the file updater-script (META-INF>com>google>android>updater-script).
Open the file updater-script with Notepad++...
Scroll down to the last line of the matter...
Copy and paste the following code exactly below the last line
ui_print("Have A Nice Day");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should type your own desired text at the place of Have A Nice Day..(with "....")
Done!!
After u have done....leave the META-INF folder as it is....for now..
Editing Splash Screen :
Extract the boot.img by using dsixda's kitchen....it is very easy...
After that....refer to this LINK for editing boot splash screen......and then repack the boot.img again using dsixda's kitchen
Editing boot animation of rom :
Download your desired bootanimation.zip.
Rename it "bootanimation.zip".
Now, locate to the folder system>media
You will see a file bootanimation.zip there..
Replace that file with your desired boot animation..(renamed)..
Done!!
Adding ringtones :
Take your ringtone file...it should be in .ogg format..If not then convert it to .ogg..
Locate to the folder system>media>audio>ringtones>
Copy and paste your .ogg files here in ringtones folder..
You can also change notifications, alarm and UI tones like this..
Changing the Fonts :
Take your desired font.ttf file and rename it as DroidSans.ttf..
Locate to the folder system>fonts>
Now, replace the file DroidSans.ttf with your desired DoridSans.ttf...
To change the lock screen clock font...replace the Clocktopia.ttf with your desired one..(rename first)..
Changing the ROM's name :
Note: It will be shown in settings>about phone>
Open build.prop with Notepad++
Find the line-
ro.cm.version="Base rom's name"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Type your rom's name instead of "Base rom's name"..
Save..
Done!!
Theming Your Rom :
Refer to the following links for theming guides-

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821638
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469987
Now you have your MODIFIED : -
META-INF (folder)
system (folder)
boot.img
::Creating your ROM.zip::
Extract the provided UpdateZipPackager.zip
You will see->>placehere(folder)
>>others(folder)
>>script.bat
Now, copy your modified META-INF, system and boot.img in the folder "placehere" in UpdateZipPackager..
Run the script.bat in UpdateZipPackager..
It will ask something...type "n" and press enter..
Now, you will see a list in the script window...
Choose option 2 and press enter..
It will create an update.zip...
This is your roms zip..
Flash your rom and upload it to XDA..!!! Enjoy..!!
Plz...press thanks if I helped you with this guide...

NO, it won't be there.... ALl your apps and data will not be in this rom as we've not included the data folder data.ext4.tar (which is the one to store all your data).
SO, don't worry much about it.

Use titanium Backup to backup your apps and Some SMS backup app from market...many of them are available..Then after installing neW ROM just restore
em..thats how i do it
easy and simple
A problem i am facing is..i have created around 2-3 update.zip like the way mentioned above...following every procedure...but while Installing througg CWM it says...Installation aborted

Check your framework-res.apk for errors...as well as...check your meta-inf...try with an unedited meta-inf...and also..dont forget to replace that xbin folder with the original one...from base rom...also delete lost + found folder taken from system.ext4.tar ...try everything freshly..dont make anything wrong in update zip packager..in options selection...u will surely get success..

After I did the nandroid backup and went my backup folder, I only saw a "system.img" file inside the other folder - no "system.ext4.tar" ...what should I do in this case?
Oj-buddy, I am trying to follow your guide to make a custom ROM, but I find myself in a spot. You said that after I do the nanadroid backup, I'm supposed to go to: sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/(dated folder which contains my rom) where I will see "system.ext4.tar", but that's not what I see ;these are the files I see: android_ secure.img, boot.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, sd-ext.img, system.img.....what should I do at this point?

You should use latest CWM recovery for it.....
or you can also extract system.img with magicISO tool...
both system.img and system.ext4.tar are same files..
Hy everyone i've searched for this on google and XDA but i didn't find anything i want, so the point is i wanna remove some of stock files of system and add someones new and i wanna make a zip file for recovery so then i can simply install the OS from my recovery mod... and when i wanna make some upgrades i cam simply edit with a normaly archiver program like 7-zip, winrar, or powerarchiver or another program.. i wanna specify that i'm new in development on android

If you're using TWRP you can rename it right in recovery.

Cool, thanks!
Your Nandroid can be named anything, at least with TWRP (I don't use CWM) but if you want to restore it it has to be in the right folders or TWRP won't even see it ...
TWRP/BACKUPS/HT357W900873/Your Backup ... (The "HT357W900873" folder may differ as that's what it's named on my device, I don't know if it's the same for everybody)
Are you using CWM? because my backups are not zips. If you are using TWRP btw you can create a series of folders on a flash drive, named like above and use OTG to restore if you prefer, being that the current situation doesn't allow for copying backups from the phone, to a PC but backing up to a flash drive works fine when copying them from there to a PC.
i had root my galaxy note and then i install totall recall that ask me for permission via super user
i notice that the app change some file in the system/lib
can anybody tell me that files to restore them back ) i removed the totall recall and wanna get back my old files i have a copy of the priginal files but i wanna know the files that had been changed ) thanks in advance
check the timestamps through an explorer on those files and compare with the ones you backed up.
Or make a backup, compare that with a tool like winmerge with the other backup. Not sure if winmerge can do that thought
