Softmod roms are usually existing roms but with new features installed (Built in apps, themes) You basically install the themes and apps (apps need to go into /system/app) and other enhancements then back up your ROM in clockwork, then post the system.img, boot.img and nandroid.md5 files so people can install your ROM. (Thats one way of doing it )
Hope it helps,

Yup, I know this method. But is there any way to get DSIXDA's kitchen working properly?

i dont think that kitchen will work because its not for are phone?? hot shore.
to build a custom rom:
1) install the apps you want on the system normally
2)using root explorer move the apk files from /data/app to /system/app
3) reboot the phone
TIPS:
not all apps work in the system partition
use cyanogen backupper to take your added system apps from one rom to another(or and update)
download titanium backup from applanet to merge apps updates with the system

well why not use a Virtual Box?

Thanks for your replies,
But one more question. How do I De-odex my 2.1 stock ROM if DSIXDA's kitchen doesn't work?

Install your own apps via xRecovery - Collection of xRecovery files

Hi Guys!
Now that finally the devs arrived with some amazing ROMs, I change these ROMs a lot every day. But I experienced some problems because I often do that at work where I don't have adb shell available. So I created an xRecovery zip-file to install Android Terminal Emulator before booting into the ROM the first time.
That gave me the idea to offer you some zip-files with useful (free) applications you perhaps want to have pre-installed on any ROM before booting it.
I also attached two blank zip-files where you can easily add your own apps, perhaps a preferred keyboard in your language or whatever you want to push onto your phone via xRecovery.
If somebody's interested we could turn this into some kind of collection for universally usable xRecovery files.
How to use the blank zip-files:
To use this method, you need to have the app available as an apk-file, of course.
If you have the app already installed on the ROM you're looking to replace, you can just use a root file manager like Root Explorer to copy and paste the apk file from \data\app\ to your SD card.
If you cannot get the apk file, you can request it here or send me a PM and I'll try to prepare the zip-file for you. Don't ask me to do this with paid apps! This whole method is meant to be used with free apps and I will not add or support warez in any form!
Okay, now let's start. As you can see, I attached two blank zip-files: blank_data-app.zip and blank_system-app.zip. Why two of them?
There are basically two locations where you'll want to install your own apk's:
\data\app\ --> contains all non-system-relevant user apps and should be your choice in most cases. If you install here, you can easily uninstall the apps later if you don't need them anymore.
\system\app\ --> contains system-relevant and pre-installed apps such as vending.apk / phonebook.apk / Email.apk / Gmail.apk / Calender.apk / etc.
Only install here if you want to replace one of these apps with a themed one or if you want to force-update market for example! It's not possible to uninstall anything you installed here the usual way! You'll have to use Titanium Backup or another third-party app.
Only overwrite existing apps in this folder if you know what you're doing!
So, just choose where you want to install your app, open (NOT extract!) the corresponding file with a zip-file manager of your choice (I'd recommend 7Zip or WinRAR) and drag the apk-file you want to install into data\app\ (for blank_data-app.zip) or system\app\ (for blank_system-app.zip. pretty obvious, huh? ). Confirm to copy the file there and close the zip file.
That's it. Now you just have to give your zip-file an appropriate name and push it onto your SD card to install it via xRecovery-->install custom zip-->choose custom zip from sdcard.
__________________________________________________
Some comments on the zip-files attached:
- Android_Terminal_Emulator.zip:
This is useful if you installed a new ROM and experience problems like flashing homescreen or no GSM/data connection. In that case, open ATE and type the following:
su (confirm SuperUser rights)
busybox killall servicemanager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will restart the phone and hopefully solve your problems. (I know this mini guide seems not to fit here, but perhaps someone reads it before spamming the dev thread with questions that were answered a thousand times )
- JIT_Enabler_v2-zdz.zip:
all KUDOS go to zdzihu. Make sure you visit his thread to always get the latest version of JIT Enabler.
Note that you only need this file on 2.1 ROMs where JIT Enabler isn't pre-enabled! On 2.2+ ROMs JIT is always included.
- New Market V2.2.11.zip:
Make sure to sign into your google account and open market once (accept licence agreement) before you update to the new market. Many people experience problems if they don't do this!
- TitaniumBackup-3.6.7.1.zip:
You can also create this file yourself. If you open TB and tap on Settings-->more... there's an option to create an update.zip
- XDA_app.zip:
Useful for any kind of problems of course
__________________________________________________
So, not much of a collection at the moment, but perhaps there's interest for something like that. If you know something that will come handy to have it preinstalled, just tell me!

i like that point of view! well i only found one for creating a whole update. zip for a rom with android kitchen I can explain some of the basics inside this zip file this evening after work. a zip just for installing apps is created quite easily. it gets more complicated if you have to set permissions and things like that.

good idea!
thanks
Great! thanks a lot for this useful guide, I will use it.
Just one question in the same line like mezo, If I already have a rom zip file and I want to add to this rom the apps, would it be possible? and Could you explain us? or its just copy the files inside the \data\app\ folder?
Thanks again for your help.
Great idea, thanks!

As long as the apps aren't system-relevan, it's as easy as that, yes
For all of you willing to learn more: I'm quite a noob, too, but I'll try to make a tutorial on how to create recovery zip-files as soon as I can.
Won't be today though, because I'll go out to party into my birthday this evening

You can use the Android Kitchen to create custom zip files, I use the Cygwin method as it makes file management a little easier imo.
Great idea man, a lot of thanks!
1 zip - several apps
Is it possible to create one zip to install several apk's?
Maybe I have a few "stock" apps, the ones that I always need, and want to install all in a single step.
Can this be done or I have to install one by one even using xRecovery?
Thanks!
Great tuto and thank you for sharing

Hello all. Ihave a problem with xRecovery 0.2 (the last release) when I reboot my phone holding the back button a few moments after the SE Logo appears, it doesn't work. I've installed it with the xRecovery installer and with the FlashTool with BusyBox 1.17 installed. I'm on a X10 2.1 Generic . Thaks

Firstly, the xRecovery depends upon its version of busybox. In the version I use it is 1. 15. 3
So re-install xRecovery(just in case).
Secondly, u don't hv to keep the back key pressed but tap it a few times repeatedly during the screen with "Sony Ericsson" logo.
Hope this helps.

sorry, backup and restore only works with stock se rom and mods based on it (like kx10 or blue sparks,...). it's impossible to install on any 2.2/2. 3 or 2.1 AOSP rom.

hey im having a problem.
I know that you will say "this belong to another thread" but since this way i can trick the thing and install again the system apps like the Package administrator etc, i need to know what to do in mi case with this method:
mi BETA3 was working smooth!
iv been using the BETA3 a long time but some days ago, suddently i couldn't install apps anymore (thouse that are in mi SD or frome the market...not even Applanet...nothing)
The screen shows the "barber shop black and white" bar rolling and rolling and never stop.
Mi USB detection is not working, that means that mi PC is recognazing the phone (it sound like a UYSB is been conected) but never apear the folder of the SD. nto even options of debugging usb etc in the notification bar of the device.
and when i get in Settings> runing aplications, all aplication are in "calculating..." mode. so they say 00 mb. and never stop triying to get the numbers. its so odd.
the other aplication (that came installed with the BETA) works fine.
I have tryed, erasing the firmwares and isntalling them from the beginning and everything worked fine with old firms like 2.0 and 2.1 update1. too!
then i do the root (first z4root, then busybox, then xRecovery) and make xrecovery work. install the beta 3, and again i can't do anything.
i triyed installing the BETA4 but never stop rebooting so i just yield and stick with BETA3.
any idea..plzzz!!! i really don't whon't to use Eclair...it's just so ugly!!
it's not working on mi xRecovery. i put the apps insinde app folder of thwe .zip and put it in a random folder of mi SD, then do >the Recovery > install custom.zip>Choose from SD card>confirm install the selected "blank_data-app.zip".
and it say:
Finding update package.....
opening update package.....
E i asume E means Error!) can't open blablabla/blblabla folder/blank_data-app.zip (bad)
installation Abnorted.
i asume iv done something wrong...!?!?
PS: BTW can somebody sen me the original .apk of FROYO bwecasue i can't find them , to use the system-apps.zip
thanxxx!!!

HTC Sense Widgets/Apps in existing Sense-ROM? Own update.zip APK?

Hey,
I'm using various NAND Roms with sense. In some of them i.e. the Location App, The News App (HTC Greader) or the Internet-fav-widget are missing.
My question is, whether it's possible to get these missing apks (I already extracted them from antother sense build) back in this build?
Can I create my own update.zip? Or any other ideas?
greetz
tom
Just do an nandroid backuo via CWM and try out
when you already extracted the apk files you can just put them in the .zip file of the rom you want to flahs before flashing...
for example I replaced the launcherpro.apk in some (non sense) bulids with the adwlauncher.apk before flashing and then adw was automatically used as default launcher...
Thanks... do i have um flash another recovery layout? Cause of the bigger size of the mod ROM?

Don´t flash the zips from the desire hd threat
Flashable Theme.zip´s now availabel. Look on bottom of the post !!!
--------------------------------------------------------
Include theme into Rom.zip:
1. Download the ROM zip file.
2. Download the desired theme
3. Move the files from the zip theme to the ROM zip:
a. /system/app to /sd-ext/app_s
b. /system/framework to /sd-ext/framework_s.
4. Copy the NEW ROM in your SD and flash it like a new ROM.
On STOCK Hboot is the framework on system and app_s on sd-ext
With 7zip you can easily open the zip files without extracting and copy the new files into the rom.zip.

Include theme after Rom flashing:
You can adb them in, or put them in the rom before you flash.
Or you can use QtADB, if you are not so familiar with adb or have your rom allready configured,
there you have an explorer and you can easily change the files after flashing.
1. Boot to recovery (volume down & power) and mount your sd-ext/system folder, depends on Stock/Cm7r2 HBoot.
2. Use QtaDB to copy the files to your device. Doing this form recovery is saver then from running device.
you get QtADB here http://qtadb.wordpress.com/download/
You may have to give the new files the rigth permissions, same as the old files have, if you copy them into the booted device.
Use Root Explorer and long press on the new files.
Then you can change the permissions otherwise your rom crashs.

WHATS IT CM7R2 HBOOT USERS
--------------------------------------
Dont flash the zips from the desire hd treat
download the theme
unpack it with winrar
you see files and folder in it
example:
theme zip has a file in system/framework folder
your rom has the sd-ext/framework_s folder
take the files from the theme (system/framework/)
and put does files in sd-ext/framework_s/
for apps the same and so on.......enz...
you can adb them in
or put them in the rom before you flash
or you can use QtADB, if you are not so familiar with adb or have your rom allready configured,
there you have an explorer and you can easily change the files after flashing.

If you are going to do a fresh install just download a theme.zip, unzip it and copy the files from the system\framework\ folder into the sd-ext\framework_s\ folder of your rom.zip.
Do the same with the stuff from the system\apps\ folder to the sd-ext\apps_s\ folder.
Then just flash it as usual.
If you already have a ROM installed, just push the according files into these folders. I guess using Root Explorer might work, too.
But havn´t tried either.

On Stock Hboot the frameworks folder is still in system, but the apps are in sd-ext/app_s. So you can´t flash the .zip files, you´ll have to move the apps to sd-ext/app_s.
If you take a closer look into the theme.zip and the rom.zip you´ll now what to do.

One more thing which is scratching my head...
How is this possible to just put only TWO file instead of META INF, SYSTEM, DATA etc.. into ROM's framework and get complete THEME..
If a theme.zip is completely used to flash then how is this possible with just two files...
NULLINGER??? got some idea?????

It should look like this in the framework_s folder
this is my themed v5.0 framework folder
And if you wish to have the apps themed as well , you have to put the apps from them folder system/app -----> sd-ext/app_s
This should work
Edit: In OtADB you have 2 explorers, one shows your system and the other your phone.
You can drag & drop files from system to any folder on your phone.

In framework_s folder are only files no folder this is right, replace the existing files with the files from the theme

[Q] odexed JPU + extended menu + CWM + 5/9 lockscren

I tried RE-ODEX on Kyrillos 9.6, it does now work.Then I tried it with G3MOD OC kernel 2.5
Then reodexing started, probably done, BUT I get boot loop.Same problem I get When I am trying put CWM or 5 lockscreen to odexed stock JPU.
Any idea what exactly to do UNDER WINDOWS ONLY to have odexed JPU with 5/9 lockscreen mod + CWM with extended power menu ?
I have no problem do that upto JPS, but because of offline only GPS , I need JPU.
I do NOT wanna have deodexed /unstable/restarts during call/ slow/ data full etc ... Except CM7 I was faced one or all of those problems on ALL odexed ROMs
thanks for your tips
Radek
- Flash stock deodex JPU
- Flash any custom kernel (if G3mod or other that includes CWM, then skip the third step)
- Install Mumbozver's CWM through ADB (requires a kernel that has ADB root) (Fugumod kernel is highly recommended)
- Install 9 lockmod + EPM through update.zip (download one of my theme, it also includes all the .jars for icon bug fix)
- Save 30+ mb for the /system (remove all the samsung garbage)
- Reodex! It doesn't matter if you're using windows or not! Just download "reodex_win" (I'm using windows myself). Also skip the second step of that guide!
- Done!
If you're still getting error while re-odexing, then I think you can ask "TearsDontFall" for more detail.

I did it exactly on Kyrillos 9.6 and crashed on boot loop after phone restart.I had 30+ MB on system free.There were none error messages while reodexing.I got same result like I was applying mods directly to odexed JPU
I think I have to wait to be usable CM7, because no developers are using stock odexed JPU :cyclops:

Wait, which one do you want? Kyrillos' rom 9.6 or stock XXJPU? 0.o and why don't u try it on JPS first? If you still have errors while reodexing, then it means that you did something wrong! oh and also, did you add the "META-INF" folder to the framework's .jars??

I want stock odexed JPU primary because it is fast + stable.No necessary tweaks.
Kyrillos ROM is tweaked so much what makes this ROM useless and unstable because of so many contraproductive unwanted tweaks.I hate his A2SD crap script so I need LINK2SD what 100% works for me on every stock ROM or CM7 .I simply do not wanna use hybrid data2sd, because I dont beleieve it and I am affraid of repartition 32 GB sdcard.It will take many hours of backup ... Now I remeber I was not able run LINK2SD on kyrillos 9.6 ROM.But as I wanna have primary CWM+9 lockscreen mod+Extended power menu, I was thinking about reodex Kyrillos 9.6 as this ROM already included all I need and delete or revert his tweaks.So I just wanna have it easier.Main problem of kyrillos ROM 9.6 is low space for data because of deodex.I remember I installed angry birds and cant install anything else :laugh:
I do not wanna try it on JPS, I already did this succesfully on stock odexed JPF-JPS without any deodexing and reodexing.I do not wanna JPS because GPS still sucks at this ROM and I am already able install CWM+5lockscreen mod + Extended power menu, even ROM JPS is odexed.I have all files I need ( I have odexed 5 lockscreen mod version too), but for unknown reason it works upto JPS only.When applied to JPU, I get always boot loop or phone hangs at boot.Even same steps were applied, enough space on system or correct permission to app/framework folders.
Now I am not sure If I added "META-INF" folder to framework or not.If it was included at files provided by you, then I added.If it was included at original folder with frameworks dedicated upto JPS, then I added this directory ...
If folder with frameworks dedicated upto JPS does not had "META-INF"folder
then I did not applied it on JPU, but I dont think this is the case, because if it is needed for JPU, then it was included for JPS too

Then that's the problem. You can't reodex when the frameworks have no "META-INF" folder in it. And yea, I didn't include the "META-INF" folder in my theme, and even IF I did, you should always double-check
Retry everything all over again. This time, just reodex a STOCK DEODEXED JPU without any mods, and see whether it'll work or not! "TearsDontFall" already reodex Kyrillos' ROM (JPU) successfully (check his signature), so it's definitely not the problem with stock JPU. You might have just did something wrong!

Ok, now I am at home so I checked what I used :
Your files :
Settings.apk had cert.rsa + cert.sf + manifest.mf at META-INF folder
Android.policy.jar - only manifest.mf at META-INF folder
Framework.jar - only manifest.mf at META-INF folder
Framework-res.apk - had cert.rsa + cert.sf + manifest.mf at META-INF folder
but Settings.apk and Framework-res.jar has different content file and size at META-INF folder
"my" 5 lockscreen mod had META-INF at framework-res.APK folder included too, with same size like yours had
So problem is somewhere else , but where ?
I will backup my phone and try re-odex deodexed jpu like You reccomended
I will again free 30 MBs at system folder + root + change permission at data/system to write and try it again from g3mod 2.5 CWM
I am sure it was the only way how to make re-odex command file ran.

OK, on G3MOD 2.5 your update does not work anymore - it wrotes :
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to CWM 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.Installation aborted
so I will try skip 9 lock screen mod what was the main mod I need

replace updater script & update binary file with the same files from some newer update.zip...e.g. kyrillos rom v10.4 hotfix
EDIT: LOL... or better...find aaruns 9 lm ics theme for cwm3+...i made it for newer recovery...to be installable on g3mod 2.5...
You should try it on G3mod Rebirth or Astrum kernel. And yea, you can use ICS theme by Aarun, BUT you'll need to add those .jar frameworks, because in ICS theme update.zip, it doesn't include those framework files. After that, everything will be just fine :good:

Now I followed manual http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402233 like JASON-X recommended to me
0) at manual there could be info specially for windows user to be run as first or add to cmd line as first :
adb shell "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system"
1) Yes, main problem was missing Meta-Inf at Kyrillos 9.6 JPU :
a) android.policy.jar b) framework.jar c) services.jar
2) I dont know if it was needed or not, but after I deleted few apps to be min 30 MB free on system partition, I rather changed thru RootExplorer attributes system/app+framework+lib to be :
Owner+Group+Others marked READ+WRITE+EXECUTE
3) most important are at 1) I had to use WINRAR to put Meta-Inf and select no compression.When I used FAR MANAGER instead of it, it re-odexed, booted,but after pin code entered phone did not show laucher and hanged.I did this thru CWM from G3mod kernel 2.5
So I try rather G3MOD kernel what comes with Kyrillos 9.6 non OC and DID NOT RAN REODEX from CWM, but I did it when my phone was booted normally and connected via android USB as normally.So no CWM ...
4) I ran "env".cmd , then I ran "odex".cmd as admin.
all works, system free space changed from cca 30 to 7 MB.Now I have ODEXED Kyrillos 9.6 JPU and it all looks like it is working.I deleted crappy scripts from etc/init.d and I am finally testing LINK2SD
I have 126 MB free at data ...
I hope it all will works after I will flash G3MOD KERNEL 2.5 OC ...

126 mb free at data? you got to be kidding me.....I got 183 mb after reodex re-check if it's really reodexed or not and also, META-INF folder is also one of the requirements for reodex.

I dont know if it is odexed or deodexed.How can I test it ?
I checked system/app folder and ALL app got odex file now , what is bad, because at samsung stock odexed jpu, only some of them had odex file too.
Another problem is Kyrillos had some weird Swype version and he deleted email.apk+email.odex too, where there are no czech language available for swype, even all 3 "CS" files are located at system/T9B
So I tried overwrite Kyrillos swype by newer from Samsung and even I overwrite odex file too, there are no more Swype keyboard anymore.Even after full reset.
Same "problem" like at any other app what has odex.
I used Rootexplorer because I dont any other step for CWM 5.x
Is there any step how to update odexed apps to be usable (keyboard for example) and available at apps (like FM RADIO or E-mail app) ?

for swype: did you extract libSwypeCore.so from Swype.apk/lib/*....and put it in system/lib/*...permissions are: rw-r-r....and full Swype.apk goes to system/app...same permisions...?

how about the framework folder? And is there any errors while reodexing? And also, always remember to finish adding/modding/replacing/updating all apps/frameworks before reodexing, and also remember to make a backup of the rom in the "deodexed" mode otherwise you'll have to redo all those steps again.
For Swype, just follow what rkoby said

Thanks.
Of course I did not
I copied swype.apk and swype.odex only
Now I am trying to mod deodexed JPU with 9 lockscreenmod ,
but I stucked on update.zip , because of CWM5.x
I tried use Kyrillos 10.5 Update.zip, but I was not sure what can be deleted from zip and what files have to stay to be JPU updatable with G3MOD kernel 2.5 :-o
many thanks anyway for swype, maybe i will try at deodexed Kyrillos 9.0 JPU
Update :
oh not, there were some ****in "formating system" at 10.5 update.zip, so I had to reflash again
does anyone have some update.zip for JPU to be flashable thru CWM 5.0.28
I used g3mod kernel 1.7, but I get boot loop after applied 9lock screnn mod.
I see background from android desktop, but immediatelly reboot and over and over again ...

Same question, came installed with stock based ROM and doesn't allow other apps to mod the battery icon.

if you have the zip file for this mod and it's flashable open it up and check all the places the zip would have sent files to. you can do this by looking in the system folder inside the zip.
if you mount your system partition as read/write either from recovery or terminal emulator you should be able to delete those files. the problem is whether any original files where overwritten, or whether they were made into bak files or copied to folder. if they were overwritten you'd get problems. best thing to do is check with the author of the mod in it's thread for removal instructions. chances are a search of the thread will lead you to where this answer is already given.
if you're lucky the answer won't be to restore the backup we should make before flashing any mod...
