This will be the first time I'll flash using .tar files. I have the one click file as well but want to get comfortable with this method too. Can someone post a screen shot of what the UI should look like? I know how to load the 3 .tar files but what about the checkboxes and other options?
Also - Is there no PIT file? Not needed?

Hi, a question, how did you extract them? Are they plain tar files embedded in the .exe odin flasher? Thanks!
can anyone mod a ACS rom for me so it can say "Stevie" in the lock screen and notification bar? instead of acs

bump.......
there's a couple problems with this. What theme are you using. If your using a theme your gonna have to contact that dev and ask him. If your just using the rom I'm the man to talk to.
if I do this for you then others are going to want it done then it will be time consuming. And I won't be able to work in my other projects. However I wrote a how-to on changing the sprint branding. You can always follow those instructions.
If I have some free time I may try to fit this in.

just keep trying until you get it to work, you will feel awesome and you may learn a thing or two about android. there are a pretty limited number of ways to mess up such a small change so just do a little reading and you'll figure it out.

+1 to this. I recently started using a theme that I wanted tweaked in one little way. I posted something in the thread and got no response and so started screwing around with it myself. It took a while (and multiple screw ups) but I eventually got it to do what I wanted. However, I learned a ton in the process that made me come up with new and improved ways I might screw up... I mean improve... my phone.
By the way, I think the key to doing this with confidence is doing a full "nandroid" backup (i.e. a backup in clockwork). As long as you do this before messing with anything on the phone, you can pretty much always restore the backup and be right where you were. I got myself stuck a couple times and this saved me.

When I'm working on mods I zip up the files I edited so I can flash and test the mod. I also create a 2nd zip with the same files but un modified. So if the modified zip breaks things I flash the un modified zip

Strings.xml after you decompile framework-res.apk zz_roaming text you'll see it probably says acs already. Pull the framework res.apk decompile in apk manager, then navigate to projects/framework-res.apk/res/values/strings.xml. Scroll down towards the bottom and search for zz_roaming_. Note in apk manager when you recompile and it asks is this a system app choose y. Then it asks to preserve signature as well as files choose yes thenin apk manager you'll now have a keep folder. Delete the file named resources.arsc and then goto place here for modding folder. You'll see unsigned-framework-res.apk in there rename that to framework-res.

Either push it using adb or root explorer. Or use update script from another theme but leaving the file structure the same

Turn usb debugging on in settings applications development. Hook your usb cable open a command prompt and in the terminal cd to the directory with the modded framework and type adb push framework-res.apk system/framework/ and then hit enter. This requires you have the android sdk installed and the tools in your path if u you have trouble with that then get a theme that works on your rom open the theme with a zip program and delete everything inside the system folder except the folder framework. Next open the framework folder and delete both framework-res.apk and twframework.apk. Next drag and drop your framework-res.apk into that framework folder close the zip and flash

This is a diff file for the Jellybean ramdisk from ICS. This is from the galaxy nexus and will have to be changed for your specific device.

The main thing you have to edit is the init.rc, but you may need to edit other things as well. I still have not found the right combinations of edits for my port to boot, Anyway use something like WinMerge to compare the files from the ramdisk of your base ROM with the ramdisk of the SDK. You can also edit the files while you have them in WinMerge.
Thank you so much, I will definitely try using that tool, and that gives me a direction to try towards.
cheers!
Ok guys i feel like im getting closer. The exact error im getting is,
Could not find method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled, referenced from method com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.<init>
Anyone have any ideas? I know that settings is crashing but i don't know what to do about it. Here is the full logcat http://paste.ubuntu.com/1065069/
Is the whole pastebin is to replace everything in init.rc? Or some of it?

That means that it can not find com.android.providers.settings.DatabaseHelper.setWriteAheadLoggingEnabled that is referenced in the init of the ramdisk. So you need to look at the init of the ramdisk and see where it is looking for that file and then place that file where it is suppose to be.
Also I finally got my port booting but it does not get passed the bootanimation and I got the adb working, yay.
I need a lilttle help on this. I have had Aroma on my rom for awhile. But on the next update (Im working on now) i want to include new things like Nexus 7 animations. But they use vrtheme.
I have tried to get the mods that have vrtheme to flash but its a no go. I know that I must have vrtheme in my rom which I do (attatched) but I dont know the right way to write my script to extract it in my updater script.
Thats where I need help. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have enclosed my updater script, aroma config, and my folder which contains all aroma mods.
Thanks
Edit....its not letting my upload my files. I will try again later

Download the Aroma VrTheme (installer is first in my signature)
you can probably figure it out from there.

There should only be 2 parms, you have 3
the first is the source directory, the second is where to put it
you have:
package_extract_dir("alloy/Lock/Shock", "/vrtheme", "/sdcard/vrtheme");
You gota get rid of one of them, more than likely "/vrtheme"
based on your other lines that worked you probably should have coded it like this:
package_extract_dir("alloy/Lock/Shock/vrtheme", "/sdcard/vrtheme");

Hmm, the thing is we don't have a flashable zip... For personal use a deodexer would be enough, but for mods and redistribution a flashable is needed. Would also like to see one because I really want to eliminate VZW bloats from my sights since the first boot.

Maybe I grabbed the wrong one but the the one I used created a flashable zip for me... Minus minor issues that ATTACK helped me with it was pretty easy... I'll try and find the other I know ATTACK has them posted in the op of his android L theme thread
Edit... The one I linked is the one I used... It creates a recovery flashable zip to flash over what ever ROM you pulled it all from

What you can do is... Factory reset your phone, deodex it, modify it the way you want, and then pull the system.img, boot img and maybe NON-HLOS.bin and instruct users to flash via mfastboot or make a RSD flashable zip.
