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)
Thanks.

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.

Ok. This is as far as I'm going to help. You need to help yourself a bit on this.
Attached is the new zip file, that should hopefully work. I take no responsibility for what it may do to your phone.

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

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.

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.

The system.img (at least) won't dump with unyaffs. This is usually caused by incorrectly copying it from the partition with dd.

The marvel_dump.zip has the /system image already expanded. The system.img in the original file has a blocksize of 2048, so you have to use a parameter to get unyaffs to extract it.

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.

How to port Sense.
Source: http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/164989-guide-how-i-port.html (second post)
This is NOT my guide, just posting it here!
This is a very difficult process that I hope you'll understand.
First step is to find a device that is preferably VERY similar to your device, in this instance I guess we would use the htc thunderbolt, which I've been told multiple times that it is used for the MT.
You're going to want to use CM7 for parts. Simple enough.
I will be referring the Sense ROM to SENSE and CM7 as BASE to simple things up. So remember that.
When I say replace, I would recommend deleting from one and adding it with the other
Open up Sense and Base in different windows.
Put in the boot.img from Base into Sense (make sure you put the original boot.img in some other place that you'll remember)
go into /system/usr on both
replace keylayouts and keychars from Base into Sense (this is just your keys)
download dsixda's kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246)
Get the ROM you have so far set up in it and what not (I'm a little fuzzy at this part)
Once you get done with that, run the menu in terminal and navigate your way to decompile the boot.img (action key- "a") and then run the same thing except run the action key "w" to decompile the original boot.img. So the key here is to decompile both boot.img's.
Go into the ramdisk on both and go into init.rc
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IN THIS (THE MATTER OF BOOT AND BOOTLOOP) IS THE LINE
"export BOOTCLASSPATH" near the top. It will have a bunch of lines after it. Now in the Base's boot.img, delete this whole line. Replace it with the lines from Sense's boot.img.
Now you can add anything else you want that looks like it belongs (preferably anything sense related)
Don't recompile the boot.img yet.
Now we add a2sd. To do this, just follow this guide (https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158823170833688)
The only thing you do in there is the edits to the init.rc, don't listen to the decompiling/recompiling mentions. Now you can go back into the menu for the kitchen and recompile the boot.img (action key - "b"). Now don't compile the WHOLE ROM, just take the new boot.img in working_** and put it into the Sense zip.
Now you're going to want to download my ROM (sorry, just don't feel like uploading each individual file) http://gannon5197.blogspot.nl/2012/03/got-sense-booted.html
And go into the /system/bin on both
these are the files you're going to need: a2sd, bash, apps2sd.hlp, busybox.a2sd, chka2sd, jita2sd, launcha2sd, starta2sd, and maybe possibly sh (try once without it)
And you're going to want to set permissions for each one of these in the updater-script (look at mine for references)
Now also look at my zip and you'll see move_cache_sd. Put that in yours and set permissions for it in updater-script (use mine for references)
After that, the other stuff is mainly just getting rid of all the bloatware, (look in /system/app and /system/media) I wouldn't delete any libs as of right now. If you try to flash it and it reboots recovery then it is too big.
If it is too big, you're probably going to want to move a lot of the apps to data. To do this, just make a file called data/app/put_your_apps_here on the root of the zip. You're going to have to set permissions for it in the updater-script, but use the test.zip I sent you in the original.
This will most likely get you booted. Nothing will likely work. Which is expected. If you have any problems, just use logcat. It will be your bestfriend. Have fun porting

hmm this one's new for me. saved
should come in handy sometimes
someone has to do this for the Galaxy S2.
Will it also work for ICS ROMs?
I must do this. Anybody know where I can get the firmware for the One S?
Can i use a Gingerbread ROM as a base instead of cm7?
Hello for lg p500 there is 2 sense rom but data and mic not working in both rom can you help to solving that problems????btw great tutorial.
in fact sensse porting is differnet from the tutorial showed it is a little bit more difficult and there are some libs needed that there is only for the devices you are porting to. so a general tread will not really work

My cm7 rom which i downloaded doesn't have a boot.img file.. So how to get it?? Is it the system.img got from a nandroid backup?? and the sense rom which the post refers to is the stock sense rom of the phone in a zip format or a modded one??
Not working..stuck at boot logo
I'm a beginner in AndroidModding, and the ways that I have found so far are boring (as well as my ability to describe my project).
Basically, I'm developing a visual tool to facilitate mods creation. I know there are already some, but I intend to make a better base for beginners as I don't make crap.
I'll leave out some screen shots and when I make the program more stable I'll upload a first test version.
I wish everyone who has any idea about what I can add in the project manifest and suggest the same. At the end I will give credit to all who help me improve things.
And also, if you guys think this is will be useless please tell me this too

i'll help to test if u want to..
Live log would be good. To watch as phone boots into an inevitable bootloop when trying something new. Saves running log separately and lets you view as it happens. With filtering would be good. Adbmagic did something similar but you cant copy or search the log.
