Im trying to add some custom things to some roms but i dont know how to resign and zip them back..can anyone help me?
Hi everybody.
I had been using Samsung Spica and I made my own modifications of CM or Samdroidmod. I sold this phone and bought Motorola Milestone few days ago.
I wanna make some custom CM7 or Froyo roms. Could you give me some informations about making custom roms. Signing update zips is needed?
I would appreciate any help from you.
loL!....im actually bout to post this till i found ya ..same question here but slightly different...i' ve tried modifying custom roms by simply removing and adding apps/scripts/framework mods/service.jar mod from a custom rom and then signing it with Autosign. As far as i can remember it works.
But one thing is still puzzling me. Is the Process is that simple?? what are the side effects of doing this?
eg. all those png optimization done, zipalign stuff improvement stuff etc- will it be affected?
If im not wrong, there are codes in the rom that will be executed to install particular apps etc.So if we remove that particular app/other stuff what will happen to the lines?? will it skip crucial optimization lines? will it do sumting else? what will it do??!
it would be great if someone can explain this and highly appreciated too especially for beginners that google day and night and couldnt find the connection...
join to the question, will glad to hear answer
cmmon guys...help a brother out....anyone?!please
Hi everybody!
so can anyone explain me how to deodex my entire rom? and it's VERY IMPORTANT.
i need a good and serious guide.
my firmware version is xwjvb, csc: neejv3 AND i have cf root
i have no idea how it's done and ive clearly never done it but it dont mean i cant,
Also, ive found this post "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765270" but it's a lil bit confusing, i have xultimate 2.2.3, and for example after step 4 on that guide, i dont find any guava.odex to remove, and it doesnt even work when i start the 4th choice.....
im also not sure if it will work on my phone/os versions.
so will anybody help me please, i really need to deodex to especially try the touchwiz 4 port!

wow, this is GREAT!!! exactly what i was looking for, thanks ALOT
***eventhough i no longer really need to manually deodex thanks to ramad, and to widget21 for letting me know about it, i'd still like to learn how to manually do it...... so can anybody please help?
once you are rooted the easiest and quickest way to get deodexed is installing a custom ROM -- there are several now that are fairly minimalist and you can cook a bare bones custom rom over at Doc's kitchen. Custom ROMs have the advantage of not only being deodexed but zipaligned and consistent with the file system. Why re-invent the wheel?

im so NOT going to reinvent anything, im not even sure if i can anyways LOL, i was just curious cuz when they talk about it it's like something than can simply be done after flashing a stock rom like rooting..... i already goofed up and lost everything i had on the phone so flashing a new rom is not that big of deal anymore lol
know how you feel: my understanding comes from doing it the hard way and having to rescue the phone several times, so now I know better I try to help people not make the same mistakes I did while I was trying to sort it out myself.
Hope you flashed the kernel and rom you like that gets the most out of your phone and all is excellent today!
I'm a complete noob, so sorry if this is a dumb question. I have spent countless hours reading up on how to do all this stuff the last week but I haven't seen this addressed. I searched before posting, but couldn't find the answer. Will I lose root if flashing to ICS, and if so is there a method to get root again?
I've read that you are able to get root using CWM with 2.3.5. Will that be an option in ICS? Again sorry for the noob question, thanks.
As far as I know, almost all of the ICS Roms out there for Captivate are already rooted so you don't need to do it. Like the one from the CyanogenMod Team, which I'm using right now, is rooted. I'm guessing all the other ICS Roms too.

That's good to hear! My head is swimming in it right now, so that is one less thing. Thanks a ton for the reply!
All custom roms are rooted. Why would a dev go through the trouble of building a Rom and not have it rooted?
I didn't realize that but it makes sense. Like I said I am completely new to this. I knew that root was lost going from froyo to even the unofficial gingerbread, so is the difference there that the 2.3 was a leak and exactly the same as the official?
yes... leaks are stock firmwares untouched by devs. we take that firmware, add several tweaks (root, zipalign, deodex, extended power menu, locks..ect) and theme it up and that is a rom.
I am enjoying learning all this so thanks for the response, it helps me put it all together in my head.
This, for me, is one of the main reason of using custom roms... pre-rooted and customized with all the bloat removed...
Devs on these boards have spent a good deal of their time making the process painless so people like you and I can enjoy these Android Devices like they truly were meant to be. Free of restrictions from telcos and OEMs...
Don't forget to thank the devs if you decide to use their roms... ^_^
Good luck.
Is it just me or is there a real lack of working custom roms for Marshmallow N920P Note 5s? I don't even really want a custom mod... but been trying for days to get xposed going on my note and it doesn't want to run on the rooted stock rom (CF Auto Root). I have tried several different roms and can't get anything going. I also can't find anything that SPECIFICALLY states compatibility with N920P, just a couple roms where developers say it "should" run. But alas, been trying for 3 days now and still cant get a working custom rom or any help just to get xposed running...
Any suggestions?

Did you look in the Sprint Note 5 forums? Always look for carrier specific forums and not General. There are a couple in there including Moar which is a very customized ROM. Not a lot of Sprint Note 5 ROM options but Moar is very feature packed. You can add Xposed to it yourself. There's a QA forum to post questions so if you any try to post them there and not in the ROM develeopment thread.
I used this for a standard deodex rom and used the official build for xposed mm on x64 xposed modules works great on mine
edit: you may want to upgrade OTA before you root to get a good stock because I had to look forever to get a good stock rom after I softbricked mine

@henderjr
Have you run this rom with xposed? Wouldn't normally worry but it actually lists xposed in the known issues and states "run at your own risk"...
@Kade Farbo
That stock rom would be fine, but it is for PC3. WIll it work on mine? (N920PVPU2BPD2)
Edit: The rom installed successfully, but it looks like xposed isn't wanting to boot. Same thing happened on the stock rom, perpetually stuck on the sprint LTE Plus screen.
Update:
After trying several combinations of roms/xposed I finally got them working.
I tried the standard deodex rom, which installed correctly. Then tried to flash xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip, installed successfully but wouldn't boot. Same happened with using cf root on stock rom.
I tried installing venom note, install completed successfully but also wouldn't boot.
Finally I installed MOAR, installed without a hitch. After reading the discussion there I followed the recommendation of a poster that stated he was using xposed-v85.1-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam.zip. Framework installed and finally booted! Yay! So it looks like this setup is definitely the way to go!

Yeah Xposed with MOAR works fine. The developer just doesn't want people to post about bugs or issues if they have xposed running.
Does anyone ever read OPs? It says right in the Xposed OP that Xposed bootloops stock/stock based Samsung ROMs.

Sorry I meant to reply last night Wanam's unofficial MM xposed framework should be fine. Start with deodex rom and follow the instructions. I recommend this over any custom ROM for most stability and closest to vanilla experience while being able to use all root/xposed features

I may have liked the "more original" rom better, but MOAR seems to be just find and running smoothly. Wanam may have worked on that rom for me, but I didn't find it until flashing MOAR. Honestly after struggling so much to just get anything going, I dont feel like going back through everything just to get xposed on the deodex rom. I'll just stick with MOAR for now lol
Thanks for the help everyone.
Im running Wanam Xposed on the stock odexed ROM.
You can deodex any Odexed ROM with Root Explorer. Just Search .odex in Root Explorer, wait till it finishes, and delete all the files it lists. Bam. Deodexed stock rom, no flashing ROM required.
MOAR is awesome.
Te best Custom rom os laslamy if you looking good battery and mods.
