Hey People!! I'm new to XDA and this is my first post :silly: I'd like to introduce a new ROM. So basically i want to make something different for the galaxy y- the phone we've all loved to love! I want to have a redesigned launcher looking somewhat similar to the ICS ad Jellybean with softkeys like the one on ICS. It should be Deodexed rooted and have access to many other features (like pre-installed chainfire and stuff like that :fingers-crossed: ). Im planning on updating the stock kernel to the Merruk Technology Pre-final v2.0 as i've used it and it seems pretty fast and stable (I'm still waiting for the build to be final). I've a Init.d hack with battery calibration and also a hack which (I don't know how) decreases your ram usage haven't tested it yet but people who've used it says it works on stock rom too (which to me seems impossible because stock rom dosen't support init.d. Correct me if i'm wrong :highfive I've decided what to call it too. Now i only need some help which if anyone could offer would be truly amazing to me........

Many themers of our forum have made guides for other users to learn from. You can search in the Themes and Apps section for them.
About bugs, first make the custom rom. If you encounter a bug, tell us and we'll be happy to help you.

Hi Everyone,
I just registered here on xda today and I am a newbie so please be lenient with me.
Just want to share my newbie experience. Since the LS2 leak I've been trying to port multiwin dows from Note2 and then came the LS7 leak which includes multiwindows already, I have experimented with different dpi values and swapped files from other galaxy tablets to our Note1. It's sleepless nights of excitement exploring more possibilities for our Note1 and to cut the story short I came up with this. See screenshots below.
Please be aware I am not responsible if you break your phone. This is only for the brave souls. But actually I have done it many times the last few days with constant reflashing, swapping files, and trying to understand what makes it all tick and my phone was OK. It actually came out better than I expected. Thanks to all the cumulative ideas that I have gathered from all the people here at xda (who I can't remember to give special credit to) but anyway in the spirit of sharing, here it goes.
So here is the procedure and the files are attached for convenience.
Download this CWM flashable zip. (Thanks to nanomet for the CWM zip file).
1. Please make a nandroid backup first so you can return to your previous state in case you want to.
2. Make sure you are on rooted deodexed LS7 with CWM recovery. I am on Bangsti's ROM.
NOTE: I am currently testing it on odexed ROM and just to let you know the CWM flashable file does NOT work on odexed ROMs yet because it does not have the ability to delete corresponding odex files when flashed.
3. Make sure install another launcher like Apex or Nova as a failsafe in case TW Launcher forecloses. I use Android 4.2 launcher.
4. Install build prop editor from the Play Store. Run Build Prop Editor and change ro.sf.lcd.density to 213. Then add new property: qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0. Save and don't reboot yet.
5. Now reboot into CWM recovery then flash N7000.LS7.deodex.MultiWindow.zip then reboot.
6. Voila! most stock apps are resizable including Settings although they don't appear on the dock.
Now you can see the navigation bar with an arrow on the right that opens up a dock with some applications. At the moment all you see are Gallery, Videoplayer and Browser. Most stock apps are resizable but they don't appear on the dock. Now experiment by swapping apps from TAB7 2 and Note10.1 that you prefer to change depends on he layout you want. Some want the double pane apps like music player, files and task manager. Everytime you need to reboot for the apps to appear on the dock. Some work others don't depend on the window profile currently selected in the dock.
7 The apps from TAB and Note10.1 appear on the dock whereas the Note1 stock apps don't. And now, thanks to vingar for referring the thread from Note10.1, I was able to confirm my thought that all apps can be modded to be resizable like Spotify, Dropbox, Evernote as you can see on the screenshots below.
8. Now all we need is share the modded free apps so everybody can benefit - like Gmail, Youtube,etc. CALLING out those DEVs who are interested and have the skill to mod apps to participate. As for bought apps, you need to learn how to decompile and mod your bought apps.
9. Another concern is keeping the stock multiview functionality that is included in LS7 together with multiwindows from NOTE10.1 together make the device buggy so I decided to let go of the multiview of LS7 and stick with the multiwindows of NOTE10.1. You can do that by deleting the file com.sec.feature.multiwindow.phone from system/etc/permissions. Note: Now multiwindow from LS7 and Note10.1 can co-exist but they should not be used at the same time. Turn off LS7 multiwindows if using the window layouts in the dock. That is completely up to you.
10. And that's it. Enjoy and I hope you share your experience and mods. Keep sharing fellows. Please PM me with link to modded apps so I can post it here for others to see without having to go all the way through the thread. Thanks.

** you can find modded non-stock apps on this thread. it even gives info on how to mod your own apps.
** Ianbbaa has just released his v3 ROM and I have tried it and just like he said, it is just a preview and has not been polished for speed yet because of time contraints on his part. I am currently testing my mod on stock odexed ROM and I find the speed better. [see quadrant screenshot below]. I admire his efforts and I am in fact using his modded apps from his ROM for my personal use for now and I advise you to try his ROM. If he would allow me I would make available his modded apps on this thread but until then, you can download it in his thread.
This is Greaaaat!!
I was trying to do something similar earlier but didn't have the time to follow it through!
Your efforts are impressive!
I shall try this when I get a moment!

Hi Everyone,
Just want to share my newbie experience. It seems multiview with LS7 is not enough so I remember some thread in this forum about changing dpi and so I did and experimented with different values and of course had FCs of TW Launcher and SystemUI, and I thought maybe I'll try the TW Launcher and SystemUI from the Note10.1 JB but I can't make it to work so I thought maybe the one from TA B7 2 JB would be a better fit and yes it did at 213 dpi which I was surprised because the icons are bigger than 240 dpi with the stock launcher and look nicer. I change build.prop to have soft buttons then based on the airview fix discussed in the forum, I was curious about such a small file would make airview work all of a sudden so I tried to see what permissions are different from Note10.1 to Note5.3 so I tried to copy persmissions that are missing from Note5.3 and rebooted and voila, I was surprised with stock Gallery and Videoplayer app with resizable/maximise/restore window support just like in DESKTOP PC. The other apps are not and the browser is FC. So I copied the browser from Note10.1 and the browser worked. The rest of the stock apps doesn't work but when I flashed the multiview hack circulating from the forums, I came up with most stock apps being resizable just like the Gallery app, even Settings, Dialer, Contacts, Music Player, Files, Snote, Smemo, Email, MMS even though they do not appear on the dock. I have been playing around with it for a few days now since the LS7 leak and it is a usable daily driver, fast and a bit buggy sometimes, maybe because I am not a dev and I don't know about modding and decompiling and recompiling and so and so. So if you Guys want to try I can share the procedure and the files to swap and I know you can better make a better ROM than I do.
Just to show you a screenshot.

I wish I can be able to post in their thread. I am apparently limited to what and where I can post so I can not take part in their discussion and share some ideas.
Do some quadrant and AnTüTü benchmarks and post it in the relevant thread.
There is an off topic thread. Post there.
Make some screenshots of your home screen -> post it in the "post your home screen" threads...

I was actually on alliance alpha 1 when I tried this experiment and there was one error that I dont know how to resolve. I can't seem to connect to the computer by usb cable so I tried the one from bangsti and the error was gone although I think the alliance rom was faster. Maybe if robbie hood can include this in his rom as an option and polish it a bit, it would really be awesome.
You made it so simple it looks like a piece of cake
Have to dl deodexed rom to try it out. Thanks

Thanks. Just like I said I am a curious newbie but can follow instructions and its actually quite simple. If I knew how to maks a flashable zip then it would just be a one step. Try it out and substitue apps from tab7 2 and note10.1 and see what works for you including widgets from ICS. Tell us how ot goes.

Hi,
If you send me the edited files, and the paths they should go in, I could make it in a cwm zip for you.
It's quite easy to do.
Or else I could send you a pre made cwm zip that you can just place the things that you want flashing in.
Let me know if I can help.
Cheers
Corey

this is really cool [while a lot of us are waiting for MiniTab_v0,3] I tested on Ultimate_LS7, many stock apps work nicely, you share a huge thing xperiacle :good: if ianbbaa not releasing MiniTab_v0,3, believe some of us can mix your sharing with v0,2 for their own
hope all of these features together with v0,3 you and ianbbaa will make our incredible NOTE more wonderful :victory:
for those who want a CWM doing MOST steps in the OP, you can use my file as following, a backup before flashing is always recommended, it works on my Note with Ultimate_LS7
BEFORE flashing you need:
1. Make sure you are on rooted deodexed LS7 with CWM recovery. I haven't tried it on odexed one but maybe it will work.
2. Make sure install another launcher like Apex or Nova as a failsafe in case TW Launcher forecloses. I use Android 4.2 launcher.
3. Install Root explorer or Root browser lite or Solid Explorer or anything that can access root folder with R?W and can change permissions. Install build prop editor from the Play Store.
4. Run Build Prop Editor and edit ro.sf.lcd.density to 213. Then add new property: qemu.hw.mainkeys with value 0. Save and reboot.

My Motivation
I do like Cyanogenmod as many of you do. Due to Samsung´s strange behaviour the CM Team still has a hard time with Google´s Jelly Bean on our Galaxy S2. It still causes troubles here and there, even tho the Developers did and do a amazing job on it. Many words, I know, ok, let me get the facts straight : I LOVE CM but I NEED some Samsung stuff.
In the past, with ICS it was possible, thanks to some very (very!!!!) good Developers, to dual boot Samsung ICS Rom and CM Roms. When Jelly Bean leak came out, we had to realize that this wasnt possible anymore as we now got the /preload partition because our /system partition wasnt big enough anymore to carry all needed files.
Even tho it is possible to use jazzk´s chameleon and CM Rom with DorimanX Kernel because jazzk didnt use the /preload partition, it was impossible to use another Stock or custom Samsung Rom.
That bugged me.
Thanks and Credits for all they have done to :
The Cyanogenmod Team for CM10.1
dorimanx for his awesome Kernels
tedascuen for sharing the stock XWLS8 Rom
_Sofos_ for sharing the XWLSD Rom
Goldieking and his Team for his awesome Mods
All those who helped me in this Thread (mentioned below)
Chainfire, of course for so much!
Jrummy Apps inc. for Root Browser Lite
The XDA Comunity for sooo much
My Wife for her Laptop and coffee
Forgot your Name ? Give me a hint!
Update 20.03.2013
I have been a bit lazy lately with all this but I tested some of the DorimanX Kernels. It seems that Kernel 8.3 and higher are more than OK now for booting both, CM and Sammy Roms. To me, as I didn´t follow all this very close, it got a bit confusing. Please read the last Pages, there are always some nice guys testing this & that AND they also give support.
Update 28.02.2013 Part 1
If you are looking for more different Setups / Videos & Tutorials, they are now in Post #6
Update 28.02.2013 Part 2
There has been a lot of confusion with several Updates in CM 10.1. While this is a very good Step ahead for Open Source Projects, it makes Dual Boot with Samsung based Roms a bit harder. dorimanx has been working hard to get it all running, even Dual boot between CM10.1 and XWLSD is possible but for me and many others, Camera and Video is broken in the Sammy Rom. I will edit this as soon as this is fixed because IMO his Version 8 is another Masterpiece.
But for now this will be a "dirty" or "faked" Dual Boot.
What you need :
- DorimanX 7.44 "LSD EDITION" (Thanks to THE RED BLUR for your help)
- Any AOSP/AOKP Rom you want to use
- PreLoadLSDrom.zip (More Details)
(This is an edited XWLSD Rom that fits into our /preload Partition. DON´T use as FIRST Rom, it has NO Kernel)
- Time
Now we start :
- Flash the AOSP/AOKP you want to use as FIRST (!) Rom
- Set it up and (optional if you need the boot.img or just to have a running System backed up) make a Backup from Recovery
- Flash the DorimanX 7.44 "LSD EDITION"
- Reboot into its Recovery and prepare 2nd Rom
- Install PreLoadLSDrom.zip
- Boot into 2nd Rom to see if it works
- Done for now
With this Setup you now have 2 independent Systems on your Phone. Flashing another Open Source Rom in FIRST will not touch your Sammy Rom as all (AFAIK) Open Source Roms don´t use/touch the /preload Partition.
Please note, flashing any Sammy Rom, that´s not edited for this, will delete this Setup.
As long as you are using one of the "older" Open Source Roms you can now boot both Roms from the DorimanX 7.44 "LSD EDITION"
If you use a Open Source Rom with the new Video Drivers (and all these things I don´t understand) you will now need to install the corresponding Kernel each time you want to switch between the Roms. For now, I can confirm that Dorimanx 8 runs perfect with CM10.1 (24th build) because I tested it. So, you may now flash the "LSD EDITION" for the LSD Rom or the DorimanX 8 Kernel for your AOSP/AOKP Rom. This is dirty for now but it´s safe and working. And I am sure there will be a fix for this, soon!
Update 28.02.2013 Part 3

My Motivation
I do like Cyanogenmod as many of you do. Due to Samsung´s strange behaviour the CM Team still has a hard time with Google´s Jelly Bean on our Galaxy S2. It still causes troubles here and there, even tho the Developers did and do a amazing job on it. Many words, I know, ok, let me get the facts straight : I LOVE CM but I NEED some Samsung stuff.
In the past, with ICS it was possible, thanks to some very (very!!!!) good Developers, to dual boot Samsung ICS Rom and CM Roms. When Jelly Bean leak came out, we had to realize that this wasnt possible anymore as we now got the /preload partition because our /system partition wasnt big enough anymore to carry all needed files.
Even tho it is possible to use jazzk´s chameleon and CM Rom with DorimanX Kernel because jazzk didnt use the /preload partition, it was impossible to use another Stock or custom Samsung Rom.
That bugged me.
What I had was :
- a stock deodexed and rooted Jelly Bean Rom by Samsung from here
- a CM 10.1 Rom from here
- THE DorimanX Kernel 7.44 from here
- Rootbrowser Lite from Market (don´t know how to link it, but you will find it)
- TIME
If you have what I had, you can try the following lines...
First of all, I flashed the stock deodexed and rooted Rom I mentioned above (thanks to tedascuen for sharing)
I finished the complete Setup of the Rom, including Google Account, WLAN settings..
Now :
- download Rootbrowser Lite from Market
- use Rootbrowser Lite (now called RB) to delete all apps from /system/apps that I don´t need/use
- after that, reboot into stock recovery by holding Volume up + Home + Power
- do a Factory Reset
- reboot the System and finish the Setup of the Rom (as above)
- download RB Lite from Market again
- use RB to copy big files from /preload/symlink/system/apps to a folder in /data/apps/ that I named "sysapps"
Big Files I moved :
- ClockPackage.apk
- MusicPlayer.apk
- SamsungIME.apk
- SecBrowser.apk
- SecContacts.apk
- SecEmail.apk
- SecExchange.apk
- SecGallery2.apk
- SecLauncher2.apk
- SecMms.apk
- SecPhone.apk
- VideoPlayer.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- now delete the old symlinks in /system/apps of the Files above (you will get some errors/FC while doing this)
- now switch to /data/apps/sysapps and start to create new symlinks with RB by longpressing the file and "create shortcut"
- switch to /system/apps again and paste the shortcut (important, do this one by one, show some patience)
- after you created all new symlinks, reboot the system, you will see, all apps work again!
- most of the other apps from /preload/symlink/system/apps will fit into /system/apps but don´t move useless apps like all apps containing "test" in their name or google plus (you can install that later from market) or "swype" or.... I am to lazy to write down all apps I didnt move but with a bit of common sense you will make it for sure.
- after moving the apps to /system/apps you will see that all apps you moved will be set to rw-r-r and all symlinks you created will be set to rwx-rwx-rwx, thats fine !
- reboot the phone, everything should work fine
If so...
- flash the DorimanX Kernel 7.44 and
- reboot into his recovery
- switch to dual-boot options and set up the 2nd Rom
- clone 1st Rom to 2nd Rom
- reboot into 2nd Rom just to check if it works (it will)
now...
- reboot into recovery and install the CM10.1 made by MCM from here
- after the installation has finished, reboot the system and let CM10.1 boot
(GAPPS are not needed, yet but you may install them before you boot into CM)
- I really hope the CM has booted fine, now open STweaks
- in STweaks, change OpenSource Gralloc to Samsung´s Gralloc
- reboot the system and check in STweaks if the change worked (Samsung´s Gralloc)
now...
- reboot into recovery and flash the DorimanX Kernel again (or use Odin)
- after that, reboot again and you will see the Dual Boot Screen, you can choose first or second Rom
- DONE !!!
Another Way was...
Due to my slow internet connection I will only provide the way and the updater script here. Anybody who likes to help may link the Rom with the updated files here, this would be very kind !
To do what I did I used this : Notepad++ and 7zip !
Ok, lets go !!
- copy the stock deodexed Rom I mentioned above (for the lazy people, Link) to your PC
- Use 7zip to unzip the Rom (or any other tool!)
- unzip the attached file and replace the updater-script in /META-INF/com/google/android/ (in the unzipped Rom)
- in the unzipped Rom, go to /preload/symlink/system and move the complete "app" folder to /data/app
- your data folder should look like this : /data/app/app
- delete the now empty /preload folder
- use 7zip to compress data+META-INF+system+temp folders again
- copy your new compressed ROM on your SD Card
- boot your phone into recovery and install your ROM
- done !
I just did this exactly that way (after editing the updater script) and it worked perfectly for me. I can´t tell about performance or problems as I just tested this to see if it will run. Any feedback is more than appreciated.

Interesting approach!
Can someone try to make clean`n lite CWM flashable zip from XWLS8 to use it with dual boot?
I also miss some things from CM10.1 when same time there are some "must have" things on Sammy`s.

Thanks to the great Idea and work of hawkerpaul there is now another, way easier and more simple way to setup 2 Roms for Dual Boot ! (look here for his thread)
I will try to explain as good as I can with a Samsung Rom (XWLSD) that I modified to make it run with another, Kernel compatible AOSP Rom !
Once again, all Credits for the "Magic" of the ROMs go to their respective Developers. I just modified the Updater Script a little, removed a lot of "Bloatware" and moved as many Apps as possible to /system partition. The /preload/symlink/system/app folder only contains a few Apps and has only about 80MB now.
Now we can use the /preload partition with both Roms which gives us much more smoothness/speed and an overall more stable system!
Before you start please note !
- The "myLSDrom.zip" contains a modified DorimanX 7.44 Kernel that is able to run XWLSD Sammy Rom (Thanks to THE RED BLUR for the Heads up)(Post). So, for now, the 2nd Rom needs to be compatible with this Kernel or you need to search another Kernel for this by yourself. I can and will not support this as I am not a Developer but a simple User and I am very happy with this Setup right now.
- The "myLSDrom.zip" also contains Goldieking´s amazing TeamAllianceMod. Why ? Because I LOVE it.
- I removed as much Samsung Stuff as possible. Even Samsung IME got replaced by Xperia S Kexyboard from here. If you don´t like my Setup you can do this by yourself with a XWLSD Rom, just let me know if you need help. I will try to write down a Tutorial !
1. Download myLSDrom.zip from here
2. Download the Rom you like to have as second one
3. Download hawkerpaul´s GS2PreloadRestore v1.04 and GS2PreloadBackup v1.03 from here (Downloadlink not yet ready)
4. Put all Files somewhere on your SD Card (internal/external) where you will find it later
5. Install myLSDrom.zip as first Rom and set it up
6. Boot into Recovery and Backup the Rom
7. Run GS2PreloadBackup v1.03 to backup the /preload/symlink Folder (install zip from SD Card will start it)
8. Now install the 2nd Rom
- usually while we install a Rom, the /system partition gets formatted. When we install a ROM as second, the Kernel leads to /preload as system partition. That´s why we usually lose all Files inside /preload. Thanks to hawkerpaul, that´s no Problem anymore
9. Run GS2PreloadRestore v1.04 to restore the backup of our /preload/symlink
10. DONE !!!!
If you run into Problems, please do not quote this all!

The EASY way
Ok, now I think I got this running!
Please note, all warnings, thanks and credits are in the very first Post. Please make sure you have read and understand them all!!
Thanks for your Attention
Follow these few steps careful and you will end up like I did, with a CM10.1 and a Samsung Jelly Bean XWLS8 Rom on the same Phone.
1. Download your favorite CM 10 or CM 10.1 Rom
2. Download the modified Stock deodexed & rooted XWLS8 Sammy Rom from here or the FULL ROM provided by Troubadour666, thank you very much for this !!
- the modified Stock is very "Lite" but I will write down the way to get the missing files if you need them !
- the FULL ROM provided by Troubadour666 contains ALL FILES !
3. Copy both Roms and the DorimanX 7.44 Kernel to the root of your SD Card, or wherever, just make sure you´ll be able to find them later !
4. CAREFUL ! PLEASE DO THIS STEP BY STEP !!!
5. Install the "literom.zip" (the downloaded modified Stock Rom)
6. Let it boot completely (important) with the stock Kernel (important) (this may take a while but it will boot!!)
7. Now install the DorimanX Kernel and boot into its Recovery
8. Setup the 2nd Rom
9. Clone 1st Rom to 2nd Rom
10. Try to boot into 2nd Rom (I hope it will) and let it boot, just to make sure
11. Reboot into DorimanX Recovery, do a Factory Reset/Wipe all
12. Install the CM Rom of your choice (my choice : MCM´s builds, AWESOME!) and let it boot completely (Gapps are not needed right now)
13. CAREFUL ! PLEASE READ !!!
14. If you are using MCM´s CM 10.1 you need to (thanks to unexist6969 for that Info!!!!)
- start STweaks
- in systemsettings, change Gralloc to "Samsung Gralloc"
- exit STweaks and reboot once to check if Samsung Gralloc is applied
- if so, reboot into Recovery again
15. Install the DorimanX Kernel again (cwm or odin, I prefer CWM flash, never had problems or yellow Triangle)
16. Reboot, you just set up a nice running Dual Boot System ! Congratulations !!
Hint : If you run into a bootloop after step 16, hold Volume up+Home+Power till you enter Recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik cache, this will work

Please note : If you want to apply any visual Mod on this, you need to change a lot of things. An Example, I am using the Alliance AOSP Mod (AWESOME stuff,LINK) and I had to copy the Files manually because the Mod points to /preload..but don´t worry, copy n paste will do, they allready did all the MAGIC (seriously great stuff) !
If you miss Samsung Stuff follow these easy steps :
- Get the Full Rom from first Post
- inside you will find a Folder called "Preload" extract that on your PC
- copy the Apps you missed to your Phone SD Card
- now use Root Browser Lite to copy them to /data/apps/apps
- Longpress (RB Lite) the File and tap "create shortcut"
- Switch to /system/apps and paste the shortcut
- Do this with each File and reboot, DONE.
This may sound complicated but really, it isnt. Don´t be afraid to ask questions that are not answered here or in First Post!!
EDIT:
Important : All MIRRORS are very welcome as i don´t know how Google Drive handles Bandwith. Also, feel free to post your own Full or modded Versions here as long as you give propper Credits to the DEVELOPERS. Please keep in mind, we are nothing without them!
If your Version is confirmed to be working I will add it here (if you like).
Greetings & thanks for your Attention

It Works
So as i say to you in MP, i download the files in post 9 (removed since)
and i repack it as a normal flashable ZIP , with WINRAR , i add last dori in too
and i flash it in second rom. before that i format second rom data and cache, wipe data/cache too.
so I boot and i m happy with my ls8n in rom2. thank's for that !
Re: Dual boot Samsung JB XWLS8 and CM10(.1) [ROM ADDED]
Script worked with neatrom full. Just needed rename sale to tmp.
Cloned 1st ROM to 2nd ROM and viewed current status and it didn't show 2nd ROM.
installed cm10.1 to 1st ROM and changed gralloc to Samsung.
Installed dorimanx 7.45 and booted but there wasn't any dual boot screen, just dorimanx logo.
I'll try this again later today with new steps

Hey,
thanks for feedback!
I think the NeatRom Updater Script is very different to the Stock one but I seriously don´t know for sure. I can only tell that the way I described will work wih the Download I provided (tested by myself) and DorimanX 7.44. If you find the Time, try it with the Rom I provided (literom.zip) from Post #15 and follow the Steps again. If you run into Problems then, maybe me or another User will be able to help you.
But in generally I would expect the Problems in the different UpdaterScript.
If you want to use NeatRom you may still try my first way in First Post (manually moving the Files)
Hope that helped a bit!
Greetings
Thomas
Re: Dual boot Samsung JB XWLS8 and CM10(.1) [ROM ADDED]
OK, I'll test test ROM and see if it works. And test more with neatrom full
And do I have to do that gralloc thing? Can you explain why is this needed?

I can not really explain, I followed a hint from Unexist6969. Fact is, MCM's build will not run with DorimanX if you don't change it.
A wild guess is the Ram allocation to Graphics is different in Open Source Gralloc but if you want to go deeper into this you may ask a Developer.

Hi all,
This is probably my first post so before I go ahead I'd like to thank all developers on this site. It's got a wealth of information that helped me a lot.
Unfortunatey I haven't found a way to do this yet, so I'm posting and asking for help with this issue I'm having...
I used to run CM10.1 on my Nexus 4, I always patched that rom with autopatcher to apply openpdroid so I could set privacy stuff using the Pdroid Manager app.
I decided to go back to the stock rom due to issues I was having (my phone actually got bricked and I managed to fix it following excellent instructions that I found here).
Now I can't apply the openpdroid patch to the stock ROM because autopatcher only accepts zip files and I'm sure that it needs the structure of the ROM.zip to work. The Google factory image is a ROM.tgz file and upon extracting a zip and the factory image, I noticed that the structure is completely different. I have no idea how to create a zip file out of the stock rom.
I'm wondering if anybody could do this? I'm not sure if autopatcher requires deodexing... All I need is a stock 4.3 mako image in the form of a zip file that works like the CM roms, so I can patch it with openpdroid via autopatcher.
Is this possible? Could someone here do it, please?
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
Thanks all for reading!
Welcome to the great xda-developers forums
Well you should search the Forum with the forum search for a tutorial to zipalign your stock rom, there are many out there i think.
I think i even saw a rom kitchen for that.
That thread belongs to Q&A by the way
(Just a tip on the side)

Thank you, as you can see I'm new here I tried to search for something but I'm not sure if I was using the right terms, so I decided to ask. I didn't even know about this zipalign or rom kitchen stuff, but now that you mentioned it I will research. Thanks!

Just my opinion but I think it would be better to find a stock, 4.3 deodex ROM in a flashable zip. I'm dead sure there's a few floating around in android or original android development. That would make it easier to patch
Edit: this should do, stock 4.3 zip:
