[ROM] 5faif ROM v1.5- Now with apps on SD, swap activated and other features.

Hello everybody!
I'm trying to build my own custom ROM for my HTC Tattoo. It is a personal rom just to test and LEARN. The aim of this project is not to be a ROM for daily use, but to test new things and learn.

Features in v1.4:
It is based on RUU Click HTC WWE 1.67.405.6.
It formats SYSTEM and DATA partitions first.
Removed HTC Footprints and config files.
HTC Sense UI removed (you have and update to install it: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/S0FGXKJC/update-5faif-ToPutSenseUI-signed.zip).
Added su and flash_image from devs of this forum.
Added boot image version 2 from mainfram3 with some personal changes.
Removed example images.
Busybox in /system/bin/.
Google apps not deleted as this is a PRIVATE rom for testing.
Google Maps updated.
Added JavaBOX app and library.
Added SoundManager.
Added Astro File Manger.
Added Advanced Task Manager.
Added WIFI Tethering.
Market now shows all the apps.
Apps now are installed and executed from SD!!! (You MUST create a "app" folder in your sdcard BEFORE flashing).
Dalvik cache moved to /data.
Swap activated.
If you want to try this ROM, please do this first in order to be able to recover your Tattoo in case something goes wrong:
1. Make a Goldcard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603286
2. Install Custom Recovery from mainfram3.
3. Do Backup from Custom Recovery.
4. Create a folder in your sdcard called "app"
5. Now you are able to flash this ROM through update.zip. ¡ALL DATA AND APPLICATIONS WILL BE REMOVED!
If you don't know how to follow these steps or you don't have root yet, follow this howto (thanks Zecanilis!): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645742

Looking good. I might snip parts of your mods for use with AzusaROM. I'm not too sure about the update-script syntax, the custom recovery we got uses updater-script. More info later...

Ok, but now try to make update without wipe, without formating system and data.
If you want to add/delete some few things - no need to format whole device)

Ok! Thanks! I'll try... but.. if I want to remove "things"...I will have to write the proper commands to do so in the update-script, haven't I?
So do you think that this ROM could work? Do you recommend to try to flash it [before creating a goldcard in case something bad happens, of course xD]??
Any ideas for the show_progress command? What does the following numbers mean?

Yeah, that's true. In the hello-world example it is named as updateR-script. Thank you for that tip!

step by step guide
could you please post the istructions you're following to create a custom ROM ?

Of course! I'm going to bed now, so tomorrow I will post all the links I extract the information from. If you can't wait: all the posts are from this forum.

I'm working on a custom rom for tattoo too, but i don't know how to flash un update zip, what's the command? Can you help me?

you need a custom recovery by mainfram3 zip yor rom and copy to sd, rename update.zip, restart the tattoo in recovery mode (home+power) and select "apply sdcard:update.zip"

Commands to remove something:
Code:
delete SYSTEM:lib/libA2DP.so
delete SYSTEM:build.prop
delete SYSTEM:xbin/bb/busybox
delete DATA:app_s/MarketEnabler.apk
Creating goldcard is to avoid region (customer id) check ONLY.
But goldcarding keeps company with way to get new ROM - this thing confuse all often)
If you have modified recovery, doesnt matter what CustomerID do you have.

AFAIK and also mainfram3 can back me up on this, is that updater-script uses a 1.6 syntax like ui_write(), format(MTD,'system') etc unlike 1.5 which uses a basic format, with format SYSTEM: etc etc.
This leads us into the grey area, what commands do we have? Is there some that will damage the device? What does update-binary do exactly (I know it updates the ROM, dur , but what exactly).
Unless we can back port 1.5 script syntax to work with mainfram3's custom recovery, it looks like we're limited to trial and error.

Update-binary
These are the functions available in update-binary, through the use of the updater-script:
Code:
void RegisterInstallFunctions() {
RegisterFunction("mount", MountFn);
RegisterFunction("is_mounted", IsMountedFn);
RegisterFunction("unmount", UnmountFn);
RegisterFunction("format", FormatFn);
RegisterFunction("show_progress", ShowProgressFn);
RegisterFunction("set_progress", SetProgressFn);
RegisterFunction("delete", DeleteFn);
RegisterFunction("delete_recursive", DeleteFn);
RegisterFunction("package_extract_dir", PackageExtractDirFn);
RegisterFunction("package_extract_file", PackageExtractFileFn);
RegisterFunction("symlink", SymlinkFn);
RegisterFunction("set_perm", SetPermFn);
RegisterFunction("set_perm_recursive", SetPermFn);
RegisterFunction("getprop", GetPropFn);
RegisterFunction("file_getprop", FileGetPropFn);
RegisterFunction("write_raw_image", WriteRawImageFn);
RegisterFunction("write_firmware_image", WriteFirmwareImageFn);
RegisterFunction("apply_patch", ApplyPatchFn);
RegisterFunction("apply_patch_check", ApplyPatchFn);
RegisterFunction("apply_patch_space", ApplyPatchFn);
RegisterFunction("ui_print", UIPrintFn);
}
Attached to this post you'll find the source to update-binary, from the Android 1.6 SDK.
Hope this helps!

Thank you very very much mainfram3.
With this information I think I would be able to build a update.zip with a working ROM (finally!!).
I will upload it.

Can't get the download links to work... Page cannot be found

Hey mikifafi, how about a tutorial about how did you do this rom customization??
Thanx in advance

¿A new working ROM?
Finally I was able to upload the version 1.2 of this ROM.
I have changed the updater-script, so it must flash now. If it does, you will have a bit faster rom than the original without the slow Sense UI.
You can download it from the first post of this topic: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643368
Please, if someone tries it, post your results
P.S.: Dropping my "favourites" about rom cooking into a text file to post it here later.

Downloading right away Will post back with results.
Btw. Love your new uploading page
thanks for your work!

worked!!! i go to test,after i publish my comments
Thanks for you work

Works here too!
Seems fast at first sight. Will test more and return

Thank you very very very much chusen and whooper90 for trying it in your devices!!
I'm very happy of seeing that it works!!!
Now I notice that I forgot to completely remove Sense UI (it is just desactivated, isn't it?). I will change it and also will remove some not-free apps that shouldn't be there.
Can any of you try to run "busybox --initial" to install busybox, please?

How To Port SGS4G Roms To Vibrant For Gingerbread 10.24.11

}
Porting SGS4G Roms To Vibrant For Gingerbread....
I Take No Responsibility For Any Damages Caused By This Remember You Wanted To Try It And Therefore Makes You Responsible For Your Own Phones...
TOOLS :
1. Install Android SDK
2. Download smali.jar & baksmali.jar From http://code.google.com/p/smali/
3. Both Files Will Have Version Numbers On The End, Take Those Off.
4. Place Both Files In /tools directory In Sdk Or Open A New Folder Place smali.jar & baksmali.jar In Folder And To Open A Comand Prompt Press Shift And Right Click...
5. Download Beyond Compare.
6. Download 7 Zip Or Winrar.
7. Download Any Apk Tool Like (Formatter)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=1108798
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Download A FLASHABLE i9000 ROM.
9. Download The SGS4G You Wish To Port.
INSTRUCTIONS :
Note:
To DECOMPILE (FROM /TOOLS) "java - jar baksmali.jar -o directory_out/ classes.dex"
To COMPILE (FROM /TOOLS) "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar source_directory/ -o New_Classes.dex"
1.)There Are Four Files That Need To Be Edited. They Are Framework.jar, Services.jar, Android_policy.jar And Settings.apk...
2.)Using 7-zip Or Winrar, You Need To Extract The Classes.dex From Each File Mentioned, On Both Roms The One You Are Porting And The Flashable i9000 Rom You Are Comparing It To. This Has To Be Done, Since The Vibrant And SGS4G Have Swapped Partitions.
3.)Extract One At A Time. Place classes.dex Into /tools Or New Folder With smali.jar & baksmali.jar In It, Decompile To Directory_Out Using Linux Codes Under Note. ( i.e, if using KI3 Flashable And Extracting Framework.jar, Then Name Directory_Out To KI3_Framework)
4.)Once You Have Extracted & Decompiled The Classes.dex From Each Of The Four Files On Each Rom, Open Beyond Compare.
5.)Load The Two Directoies You Want To Compare And Hit The Compare Button. Select Binary.
Example Of Directorys : Framework And Framework Or Android Policy And Android Policy From Each Rom
6.)Look For Anything With Storage Information. Anything To Do With Storage or /Sdcard. Here's The Problem ... The Reason Why We Are Doing This Is Because Internal Storage And External Storages Are Swapped, So You Must Right Click And Copy i9000s Storage Binerys To SGS4Gs
7.) You Replace Only Storage And Sd Part And Only Those Parts Thats All You Need.
8.)You Will See A Lot Of Differences .. Ignore Any Line Differences. ALL YOU NEED IS STORAGE AND SD.
9.)There Might Not Be Differences In Every File, Depending On The Rom To Be Ported With The Exception Of Settings.apk. USB Mounting Will Not Work If Not Edited Properly!
Examples : Grey Folders Are No Difference, Red Folders Are The Same Binerys But Different Depend On Build, The Blue Is Not The Same At All Depending On Build... Once Again All You Need Is Storage And Sd Card So Dont Mind The Colors To Much...
10.)Once Edited, Change Names Back To "classout" And Go Back Into Command Prompt And Compile. The New_classes.dex Will Appear In The /tools Category Or Your Folder.
11.)Open The SGS4G In 7 Zip or Winrar And Go Back To The Location Of Which The Original classes.dex File Came From That You'd Extracted Earlier. Delete It And Or Just Copy Over The New_classes.dex.
12.)Repeat This Process For Each classes.dex Edited.
So That's The Jar Files!
A.)The Apk File Is A Little Different Find The File With Formatter Write In .rar In Set Format And The Name Where It Says Name And Press The Big Rename It Will Become A rar File Inside Will Have The classes.dex You Must Edit Then Start From Number Three...
B.)When You Have Recompile The New classes.dex Go Back To Formatter Find The File And This Time In Set Format Put Apk, In Name Put "Settings" And Press The Big Rename Then Start On Number Ten...
So Thats The Apk File!
CHANGING THE MODEM & KERNEL.
1.)Open the Vibrant Rom in 7 Zip Or Winrar and Delete Kernel and Modem Or Just Copy Over
2.)Use An SGS4G Kernel With Vibrant Specifics and Copy over A Vibrant Modem.bin
Right Now We Don't Have A Vibrant Specific Kernel Yet So Just Wait On That...
3. Copy Over System/Etc/Vold Config. From I9000 To SGS4 Rom
Thats It... Edited By: hayn_pryde46

Since its coming from the Vibrant 4G, do that means it will bd more stable than the i9000 ROMs?

Hey hayn, you need to edit your post to fix the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099454
EDIT: Also, after conversing with drhonk about this, a full gingerbread kernel port from the SGS4G is out of the question since they don't have gingerbread source.
No source = no build = no kernel

ATTENTION: Everytime you update your ROM or flash a new ROM please reflash this patch to continue to enjoy faster GPS fixes...thank you...
Certain people may face problems when using GPS in the GT-I9100G. The gps fixing may take ages to complete. Therefore, I came up with this patch
FASTER WORLDWIDE GPS FIX
This patch can be used regardless of your location (no need to modify ntp servers). The first fix after a reboot may take up to a minute, but subsequent fixes require only seconds! The device will also lock onto 7-9 satellites (3-4 before patch), which provides accuracy up to 5m.
** DO NOT use any GPS patching app together with this patch as it will modify gps.conf**
Rooted Phones
How to apply:
1. Make sure that you are running a CM9 or CM10 ROM/CM9 or CM10 based ROM/Stock ICS/Stock ICS based ROM. (as long as you have gps.conf and sirfgps.conf in /etc, then it should work)
2. Make a backup of your gps.conf and sirfgps.conf in /etc (copy it into somewhere else)
3. Download the CWM-flashable zip from here: gps_patch_v2.zip
4. Reboot into recovery and flash the zip.
5. You are ready to go!
How to restore:
1. Using a root explorer, mount into r/w mode and overwrite the modified gps.conf and sirfgps.conf in /etc with the originals.
2. Change the permissions of the 2 files into rw-r--r--
3. Reboot your phone.
or (for stock ICS ROMs only)
1. Download the flashable zip from here: gps_ori.zip
2. Put the zip into your external SD card.
4. Reboot into CWM recovery and flash the zip.
3. Reboot your phone.

[MOD][CM10.1][4.2.2][GUIDE] Enable Multiuser (for noobs)

This is the noob-proof multiuser enabler guide for the CM10.1 - GS3 only!!
Want to enable multiuser on your galaxy S3 under CM10.1?? This is the easiest way to do it.
Updates - based on cm-10.1-2013XXXX-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip:
Multi_20130306
Multi_20130303
Multi_20130302
Multi_20130222
This is very simple: just flash the zip file and you're done!! just need to create the users under settings!! Can create up to 8 users!!
P.S. You need to reflash it for every new nightly installed!!!!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!
I just found out a way to reduce FC in secondary user. Create 2 other users... delete the second, reboot and the third user should now be the second but without the FCs... well it should, it worked for me...

The files you need to change are:

look for config_multiuserMaximumUsers and change the number of users (min 2)
Code:
<integer name="config_multiuserMaximumUsers">8</integer>

need to add this after the second </FrameLayout>
Code:
<FrameLayout androidprv:paddingTop="7.0dip" androidprv:layout_width="fill_parent" androidprv:layout_height="wrap_content">
<include androidprv:layout_gravity="top|center" androidprv:layout_width="fill_parent" androidprv:layout_height="fill_parent" layout="@layout/keyguard_multi_user_selector" />
</FrameLayout>
I made more changes than this so I advice to use mine own keyguard_host_view.xml

Thanks for the great work.... it worked perfectly. However, I have a feedback:
Few findings
- Unable to find option "Enable USB Debugging
- Unable to add facebook contact sync for secondary user
- Facebook sync not working

Unfortunetly multiuser feature still very limited and buggy... not my fault, it's Android/Cm10.1 fault... you also cant make/receive calls and themes cause fc in a secundary user...

Try tapping on the "Build Number" in settings 7-8 times to enable Developer Options.

Developer options only in primary user

help with decompile
I get the following failure when trying to decomile my apk. I am on the Sprint GS3 and d2spr CM10.1 2013-01-31 nightly. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I am making the leap that the same technique here works for any SG3 framework-res.apk and not just for the i9300. If that is an invalide assumption, then please set me straight. Thanks in advance...

@ swiggs98
Yes... probably works for your phone too....
The compile/decompile process can cause several erros when one or more conditions are not satisfied, so make sure:
1. Latest Java JDK/JRE 32 bits are installed
2. FrameworkFlasher is updated (the one I posted is updated, so use mine)
3. The folder name where FrameworkFlasher is running should not have spaces
4. framework-res.apk is not corrupted (I use WIFI file explorer to download framework-res.apk to my PC)
5. Wrong changes in framework-res files also ruins the process

Thx. It was the version I had. Same version number but from the original forum.

bootlooping when after flashing the zip!

@ varund7726
according to your signature you're running AOKP ROM with a custom kernel Syiah... my mod is made for official CM10.1 ROM only...

This is the noob-proof multiuser enabler guide for the CM10.1 - GS3 only!!
Want to enable multiuser on your galaxy S3 under CM10.1?? This is the easiest way to do it.
Update 1 (based on build cm-10.1-20130204-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip)
1. Multi_user
This is very simple: just flash the zip file and you're done!! just need to create the users under settings!! Can create up to 5 users!!
P.S. You need to reflash these zips for every new nightly installed!!!!
Screenshots:
Next is the tool I used to create these flashable mods zips. In case you wanna try for yourself or need to remake the mods for futures nightlies just download and follow the steps:

My S3 (CM10.1 updated, stock kernel) is having FC with everything with a new user. The "Setup Wizard" can't start.

some native apps crash a lot but apps from play should work as I installed several games and facebook at my secondary user... so try removing second user and create it again...

but i can't use anything with the new user: i can't configure it and i can't do anything 'cause the FC window appear for Wizard Setup, Contacts, Apollo, and it never stops. The only thing I can do is tap ok for FCs (no one app starts, neither launcher) and go to lockscreen to switch to original user.

Maybe the latest nightly release is not compatible with the old mod... so I have updated it to match 20130206... remove your secondary user under settings and reflash the new mod... create the new user and then you tell me if it works

tried wiping cache, fixing permissions, reflashing ROM AND MOD, deleting and recreating the user, but nothing works. the same FC problem. even the new 07/02's ROM and MOD.
it can be the gapps? the new user can't open the Wizard Setup (and I think it's part of gapps). I really want the multi user on my S3, so thanks for your work on it.
SOLVED! The problem is with the system theme. With the default theme, it worked!.
We can't apply themes to the system with multi user

Yes... themes cause FCs on secondary users... great to know it worked for you

[AllianceROM][JB XXLSZ][OTA][VISUALS]Post your submissions here

Because we are getting so many good suggestions for OTA updates in our thread AllianceROM_JB XXLSZ_v2 we decided it was time to start a thread for users to post their submissions.
Major Credits to Robbie Hood for making this Rom and to Ficeto for making the awesome Rom Customiser and the Ota app
OTA visuals (and updates) are bound to certain format rules that I will explain in the following posts.
All things posted in here will first be tested and evaluated before being uploaded to OTA
please be advised that mods are not to include complete framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, SecSettings.apk or android-policy
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

OTA visuals
Visuals are zips containing images and XML files from apk that are to be changed.
Format for zip name is simple, just try to describe what the mod does, if mod is a variation of existing mods use same format as existing ones.
The .theme in the name is no longer needed.
Inside zip you put name of apk (without .apk). Mods can contain more than one apk!
Also put in the root op the zip:
An empty txt file named theme
A txt file called description with a short description of the mod
An image file in JPG format called preview with an image of your mod
put in the rest of the folders like in original apk
Before uploading it please test the mod yourself by putting it on your sd and flashing from RomCustomiser
If your mod fits an existing category please tell us in your post
If you come up with mods that don't have a category yet, please also make a revert mod containing the same images and xml from the original rom so users can get back to that easily

OTA updates
Ota updates can contain apk, mostly used by Dev's to update the Rom.
Can however also be used for fixes that contain an apk like the stock playstore
They are basicaly CWM zips, with some additions:
A txt file named description with a description of the update
An JPG file named preview with an image of the mod (preferable, not compulsory)
Please remember that all system apps go in preload/symplink/system/app
You can use the base zip that I uploaded here

one more

Thanks a lot Bas :highfive:
Now lets see some users be creative and create some themes/mods

good job :good:

Need to just install this zip using rom customizer?

but could I get the V Background also in red?
would be cool
thanks in advance

Yes. Also, you have to be using the Alliance Ficeto TWRP kernel. Philz must be missing some of the busybox (/?) instructions that make the theme engine work.
Working on a couple more.

nice thanks man will uplaod em to our server asap but im experimenting a bit with my ROM
if all goes as planned the rom config will have a stock theme option as well so no need to flash a stock theme afterwards for the ones who like stock but just optional via romcustomizer when flashing the rom

is there any chance to get a zip to flash it from cwm?
it´s because I use this beautiful rom as sd rom and can´t flash anything via Rom Customizer :crying:
I tried different zip´s till now with my own png but none works

Didn't realize there was a functioning dual boot kernel now. Need to go look at that
Obviously, your setup is totally unsupported as far as Alliance team would be concerned. None of the OTA stuff would ever work. You'd might be better off running Alliance as the main 'phone' ROM and AOSP, CM, whatever, as your SD ROM.
But there is hope for you yet...
You need to pull your framework-res.apk, manually modify the background png, and push framework-res.apk back into /system/framework manually via ADB or whatever file manager is convenient (Alliance ROM Manager comes to mind)
You can follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175160 (except in Alliance ROM, Robbie changed the HOLO background name to background_holo_dark.png and NOT tw_background_holo_dark) :highfive:

thanks m8 for ur quick anser :good:
with the ota updates I got no problem,
downloaded with AllianceOTA and flashed via recovery, worked fine so far
and I know it would be the best to flash this Rom as phone Rom,
but I´m to lazy to setup two Roms again :silly:
and you would laugh, I extracted the framework-res.apk from the rom a few minutes ago and replaced that png ,
but not flashed till now
Edit: it worked, I copied over the framework-res.apk manually
