I want to make a rom - Kindle Fire General

And by make I mean a lot of cutting copying and pasting. I want to take whistle stops cm7 rom, delete a few apks (dsp manager, phone, telephony service, etc.) and have 0xD34Ds kernel, Google apps, and a fake imei all included as well. Could I do something as simple delete the apks from the cm7 zip, add the Google apps to the zip, and add the boot.img for the kernel? I'm guessing I would need to edit or create new files in the meta-inf folder, as I assume those tell twrp what to install and stuff, but I'm not sure, any help would be appreciated.

By you using the words "Guess" and "Assume" My guess is you really have no idea what goes into making a rom.
If you were to do that you will not be making a rom but only modifying an existing rom.
I can land a 747 in flight sim does that mean I can take the controls of a 747 anytime I want?
PS: Go ahead some people around here will flash anything.

Who the hell plays flight simulator anymore? You may need to invest in a life sir.
Back on topic, I still need to figure out how to make the Skimp Killah Super Kang Project a reality.

Hi. I think you'll find a lot of support on XDA for building your own ROM and/or for theming. You've covered a lot of different areas in terms of what you want to do. I have a few recommendations.
1. Do a quick search, either here or in Google, on how to build Android ROMs. There's a lot of good information out there and some of it might resonate with you in terms of how they explain things. That said, if all you're doing is changing a few files around; files you already have, then you would simply add them to, or replace the existing ones from a ROM you like. Just be sure to connect with the developers of that ROM so you can give credit where credit is due. Or, you could start with the Stock ROM and do it that way. But, in either case, you would be essentially using WinZip or some similar app to build the .zip file as you'd like to see it.
2. Consider hooking up with one of the existing developers and start making contributions to their work. That would give you a chance to work with some of the best people who are already doing what you want to do. I think in that case, it wouldn't take too long for you to come up to speed on who they've approached things. Also, this helps you from making some novice mistakes that I'm sure they've made along the way.
Lastly, consider the "value add" of your ROM over those that are already available. If you build something and no one has heard of you and then they don't see your ROM as having anything better or different to offer, then people might not want to use it. For example, Team Whiskey has Obsidian. Then they released Onyx. However, Onyx was materially different than Obsidian in that they removed a lot of the TouchWiz based theming and T-Mobile applications. So, a lot of people saw value in that.
Anyway, good luck. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun!
This thing sounds quite nice! Would you be interested in posting the 2.2.1 build you got your hands on and the GB KB with Vibration? I haven't seen either of those elsewhere.

First, google WINRAR and download it.
Then select all your files, right click and click ARCHIVE and then choose location, name, and wait until its done, and it'll be in a .zip.
Root Explorer is not a free app, so you may want to reconsider adding that as part of your ROM.

Help making a custom flashable rom

I want to apologize if this is in the wrong section ahead of time.
I have been running this over and over in my head im wanting to make my own rom. I had the idea that I could just create a zip that was able to be flashed on the phone and update everything that way. Im not really quite sure where to begin and I don't have too much programming knowledge (thus the idea to craft a custom flashable)
What would be the pros and cons of just making a flashable as oppose to building everything from the ground up.

Google is you're friend I would start with installing Ubuntu I Google's and found a guide for making a rom from aosp which is what I intend on trying to do when I get time but if you want a regular rom with your things in it you could use windows and any rom just add your own things to it that you want. I'm on my phone so can't help you much just pm me ill try to help as much as I can
What is it that you want changed?
Just apps and images? Make a theme.. i am working on one now. It's not too bad to actually make the changes, my struggles were learning the initial setup process and then WHAT to edit for my end result.
you can check my honeycomb theme thread, it may help.... theme section.

Another noob question

Hey guys could someone tell me how to unpack a Rom, modify it then re-pack it please, or just point me to a tutorial.
Many thanks.

Well i'm a noob around these corners too, having my first-ever android phone since april and trying to learn as much as possible from this awesome community.
That being said, You can open and/or extract a rom, by using a zip/rar archiver like winzip, winrar etc. You can then add or remove system apps by moving to system/app (at least that's the tree hierarchy on cyanogen, but i guess it should be universal). In case you need to modify or add files, you can even do it directly from your zip/rar manager on the fly without the need of ectracing and re-compressing the rom.
That's my 2 bits of knowledge for you
Hey, that's exactly the info I was looking for.
Thank you.

[Q] Compile 4g Icon Mod Into .Zip

Hello XDA, I was wondering if anyone could compile these instructions into a flashable zip file. This mod basically changes the 'H' icon in the status bar, into the 4G icon for CM9 based roms only. However, if I change roms, or flash an update, I lose the mod. So, if the instructions could be compiled for me, or if someone tells me how to do it, I would be very grateful, as I am quite new to this stuff.
Instructions by TmpKranz as posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856493
Before doing anything, make a Nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong!!!
0. Download the SystemUI.apk and place it in the root directory of your SD card.
1. Open the Terminal Emulator app.
2. Type su and hit the Enter button to gain root permissions.
3. Type busybox mount -o remount -w /system and hit the Enter button to make the /system partition writable.
4. Type cp -f /sdcard/SystemUI.apk /system/app/ and hit the Enter button to copy the modified file to where it belongs.
5. Type chmod 644 /system/app/SystemUI.apk and hit the Enter button to fix the file's permissions.
6. Reboot and enjoy.
System Ui.apk: http://db.tt/KrWrxQR5 (can't figure out how to upload files; sorry)

This thread gives a basic rundown of how to create one. Its pretty straightforward actually.
My basic rundown is this (I haven't done this in a while so I could be wrong):
1) the META-INF folder structure that I believe is part of every flashable zip. I forget what information it contains offhand, but I think it is specific to device. So you could pull this from any other flashable zip for the G2/DZ. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
2) The modified file within the file structure it is on the phone. So for yours it would be /system/app/systemui.apk I think.
3) The script to copy the apk (or whatever modified files) to the appropriate locations on the phone. This can include using show_progress to update that status bar in the background of recovery, a print output command to state exactly what steps are happening, etc.
Sorry its kind of vague. I'd help you write it, but I'm at work, and don't have everything I need in front of me. Besides the fact that none I've ever written work properly. :silly: Also that this is a simple and good learning experience to see how things work. It's good to know how to do this and can be a first step for larger things.
For reference, you can check out the zip someone had put together for me when I did the old Search to Recent mod in early ICS days. Located here.

Hm, which SystemUI.apk are you guys using for the base? The reason I ask is because mimicry contains many SystemUI changes that other cm9 based roms don't have. Replacing that file will break things for sure.
There are definitely better ways of doing this than providing a SystemUI.apk to flash over, though. I'll see what I can do.
EDIT:
Alright I just put together a flashable zip that'll modify the H icon to 4G on any ROM (hdpi only). This should also work in JB, though I haven't tested it. This doesn't actually replace the SystemUI.apk, it just replaces the icons inside it and re-zip/zipaligns it.

I would consider it if there wasn't this devastating Aroma bug right now with running programs through recovery. I've posted it on both Aroma threads & received no feedback.
That said, the method of replacing the icon right now isn't really a good indicator of true 4G. Let's say we're arguing that HSPA+ is 4G (rather than just HSPA). Currently the phone doesn't distinguish between HSPA & HSPA+ with icons, they will always just say "H" (or 4G with this mod).
I would rather programmatically determine which is which and show the 4G icon when on HSPA+. If there's interest I'll actually include it in the code, rather than as a mod option in Aroma.
out of curiosity what then is the major hurtle do distiguish between the two, is it the os not communicating properly with the firmware?

Actually no, there's a TelephonyManager case to match the NETWORK_TYPE_HS* types. HS*PA, HSPA and HSPAP respectively. They were all being lumped under one case rather than separating HSPAP to 4G. The "fix" is to match NETWORK_TYPE_HSPAP to the built in set of 4G icons (since right now only LTE is being considered 4G).

Np!
So I gotta ask everybody. Under Settings -> About Phone ->Status -> Mobile Network type, what do you see? I'm not able to get HSPAP:15 on my mobile carrier, the only support HSDPA (up to 42mbps). Is anybody hitting HSPAP:15 w/ the Desire Z? That's what the 4G icon "fix" would look for since only HSPA+ and LTE are currently considered 4G technologies and not the lower HSDPA.
So I guess I need to clarify. Do you guys want to force your phones to be purposely inaccurate by labeling HSPA/HSDPA as 4G or is this an issue of HSPA+ (HSPAP:15) not being properly identified as 4G?
EDIT: Okay so according to GSM Arena, our phones aren't even capable of getting HSPA+.
Uhh.. so lemme ask you guys. Why are you trying to incorrectly label your phones as 4G when they're not?

well I'm not interested really, when I first got my g2 I was shocked to see 4g in the status bar as I checked before I got it hoping to use tmobiles "4g" network and here I was like "yea it works" did a little research and found it was added to some ota update as a marketing gimick and nothing more.
having said that my girlfriend also has one of these and was disapointed when I rooted her phone and put a custom rom on it, she dosent like the h for whatever reason so I put the 4g on hers and she has been happy ever sense. personally I don't care much for it and only suggested adding to aroma for people like her who want 4g and people like me who want h
but no biggie either way on hers or my behalf as she will never go to a new rom (hates change when it comes to technology) and ill never use it

Moto XPRT Gingerbread Modding HERE!

Hello everybody, It´s been like a week since I last posted, a lot of things went wrong in my house and I somehow lost all my computers
anyway, back in business again, Last night I had to install the stock Sprint GB sbf, to my surprise it worked Really, Really good.
I´ve had a Defy+ and a Milestone 2, And I remembered having lots of issues with modding aka. no signal, wifi issues (like the cm7 and 9 ones) data issues, system lags, poor battery life, kernel errors on development, Overclocking settings not being saved, recovery mess-ups, and a lot of depicable stuff, most of all kernel-related.
Anyway, last night I flashed the stock rom over cm7 and noticed a real speed, functionality and battery boost, so I thought of just theming, de-bloating and optimizing the stock Sprint ROM.
Please follow me here:
We will never be able to flash custom kernels (not w/o the help of a reaaaaal good DEV)
CM9 &10, though they are eye-candy, are based actually on Gingerbread kernel, so no new features can be added besides the ones you can get withg new apps.
CM7, though stable, lacks the performance and functionality of the stock rom.
Finally, the stock rom as I said, (and I´ve tested TONS of ROMS in different motorola devices) is the one with the best responsivenness, snappiness and battery life, plus It's almost clean (eg. bloatware is easily removed.)
How will it be done?, you may ask.
Well Our first step, will be deodexing the stock GB SBF.
After deodexing we will be optimizing the build.prop on our phone, to trick apps into installing on our phones, and to make some quick optimizations.
Once we have deodexed our rom, we will be able to run,autorun and theme /system/apps.
Apps like Gnow, the statusbar and other tweaks can be easily (RELLY EASY) ported to deodexed ROMS
So this is the challenge guys, Let´s build our own stockcustom ROM.
So far I´m re-flashing stock sprint GB to continue testing only the essential apps, so we can build from there.
And just for a tease; here is my latest build.prop, with some tweaks and tricks taken from other roms and my personal experience, just make sure you have root access, fire up a file explorer and replace your build.prop
Please Refer to next post for links on how to maybe help me with deodexing the full rom.
And please, developers, dont take this as a shady move towards your development, I just think that the best way to make something is to start from scratch..... there are too many source files, modded files and crap files on cm7,9&10 specially when not officially supported (Because everybody messes with the files and re-distributes them, so a lot of clutter and unneeded files, references and code are injected on some releases....)
So my friends, we have a common goal, By now I have succesfully overclocked/undervolted the phone to 1350/233 mhz (not on recovery!!)
I´ve deodexed system/framework/
and Im stuck trying to deodex system/apps/
Xprt Owners of the world, please come on over here, we can do this...
I´m an architect/artist so I really want this to have a sleek look, but not copying a specific stock look, if you know what I mean....
From now on refer to the "wished features post" for features you´d like
And now my final statement:
Though it IS possible to compile JB or ICS from source to our phones, my experience with this somehow outdated android motorolas, is that you will not get significant performance boosts or super cool functions with new software. The only way to get this functionality is by upgrading the kernel which I again declare IS NOT POSSIBLE on our phone. CM9 and 10 my look like JB and ICS, but run straight off a GB kernel.
Yes you will get a lot of new stuff like menus and graphics, but the functionality will be the same, plus all the eye candy will trade off your new features with lags and possible errors.
Software is built in time with devices, and it doesn´t matter how much you say "but the hardware is capable of more!!", incremental software updates "ignore" some HW features, so they have to be forced or modified to run, which adds more procesess/tasks to the kernel and this will suck your speed and battery.
Let´s build something pretty...............:laugh:
Hello everybody, and welcome to the world of modding.
From today, we will be coordinating an army of people to work towards a common goal: Having the best ROM for our phones, and surviving the day.
The tools you absolutely need:
Brain
Hands
Eyes
Text-comprehension.
Be a self-troubleshooter
Advanced Google skills
Patience
Some Weed
First of all I will just oversee the topic: ODEXED vs DEODEXED
In simple words, Odexed systems have XX.apk and XX.odex, which store certain app properties (like icons, colors, fonts, menus) so that they wont be messed up with, thus making the system more stable, Deodexed systems, have only APK´s with their icons, colors and behaviors packed on, thus making theming, modding and using alternative system apps easier.
If you would LOVE to read about the subject, please refer to this: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
Well, now that you are totally aware of the odex-deodex situation, you might ask yourself..
-how the phuck do I deodex my system??????
Well, deodexing implies merging the .odex properties onto the apk.
Hey!!!! but how???
you need brains, patience, Java SDK7, Android sdk, and music.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852322 this instructions are for deodexing.. good luck....
To save your time, you need Android SDK and JSDK properly installed, you need xUltimate (Try and find the version that works on you), and you need the patience and willingness of Sidharta.
Ive tried already 5 versions of xUltimate to find out errors on different files!!!!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065270This will tell you some other basics on the xultimate deal.
There are other ways to deodex, help me google that.
We will be based on the stock 1FF-p3_kronos_cdma_kronos-user-2.3.5-4.5.1-110-KNS-46-49-test-keys-signed-Sprint-US SBF....
I would love to develop something good to both sprint and boost, but I have a Sprint handset, so I cannot assure our development will work on boost handsets, so please just sprint handset owners only for now.
For xultimate errors and troubleshooting, please refer to Google.com!
Ive been up all last night deodexing my system apps, and found out that most google related apps cannot be deodexed...
maybe that's why you need to install gapps in cm7 or other custom roms...
anyway people, let's get fully deodexed.
Make sure you have both Android SDK and Java SDK 7 PROPERLY installed oin your pc before trying this.
Cheers, luck and please reply
One last thing, I dont know if it is related somehow, but try to flash your stock rom without a SIM card inserted
Quick update: I Think I´ve got it figured out....
You need full Android SDK, and Java development kit, Android sdk tools alone wont do it, and java alone wont do it, you need developer runtimes and libraries for some programs like xultimate to run right.....
And you need not to activate, use or anything your phone before trying to deodex, I guess just starting up and entering simple things as the time, or having a sim card installed, or your google account can write data on the phone and mess up with the deodexing process.....
xultimate has already deodexed full framework and has passed from the yesterday´s troublesome google quick search box...(first thing to fail last night) so let´s hope it goes well.. it is indeed a loong process...
and just another error, but now I think I have it figured out, you need smali-baksmali assembler/disassembler for some specific .jar packed files... I´ve just installed it, and hopefully will post a fully deodexed stock rom today or tomorrow, for you to test and for us to start theming.
remember if you want to try... you need jdk not just java, you need full android sdk bundle, and you need smali/baksmali on your jdk installation for it to work properly...

This completely sucks, I´ve been trying to troubleshoot the errors xultimate is throwing at me on specific files, that lead me to download A LOT of java JRE and JDK versions, and both in x64 and x32 flavors, which apparently caused a major mixup on my PC´s guts....
Now I´m freaking trying to clean up my dev enviroment, trying to re-set the appropiate paths and classes, but hell with it...
Anyone succeeded??? please let me know if you´ve tried and if you get into any error can you please upload a screenshot???
thanx
Sounds like hell. I haven't tried, because I just don't have enough time in the day to do something like this. Plus, the xprt is my only phone, so I can't afford to experiment on it much.

yes sir, but in the mean time I managed to patch it with the battery mod, power menu and ICS style notifications
If I can deodex it I think I can improve it a little bit more in terms of performance and looks and functionality , but my powerful pc is a zombie right now, this is no task an old notebook can handle
I have deodexed it a long time back but sadly I can't upload it now. You can run kitchen from cygwin and it will deodexed your rom completely.

Ive used the kitchen and xUltimate with no good results mate!...
I always get smali errors or heap size errors despite I was using even a 4gb heap size, and tried using different versions of smali baksmali....
I am beggining to think I´ve been cursed by the digital gods.
BTW, if you´re able to upload it, I´ll be very thankful dude! I think Im going nowhere right now
