[TOOL] Develop/Customize Your Own Rom 1.0.4 | 1/05

RandomKing's Android Kitchen​
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
First and foremost, I will not be providing intricate and detailed directions with this.
This will remove almost any need to ever have to enter command-line code by simplifying everything into simple menus and performing the code for you!
I only take partial claim to this, as I've only written the over-arching interface and the smali/baksmali interface.
This is provided primarily for personal modifications. Please do not make a few minor changes to an existing rom and call it your own.
WHAT IS PROVIDED:
Quite simply, this is a menu-based interface coupled with nearly all of the .jars, packages, and files necessary for android development. Using this you can decompile/compile .apks and the vast assortment of features associated with this as well as baksmali/smali .dex files and even sign your .zips! This is the interface I currently personally use to streamline my edits combined into an easy installer. This will create a shortcut in your start menu, as well as provide an uninstaller. I'm always looking to streamline more!
Decompile framework-res.apk and systemui.apk for theming purposes!
Rebuild framework.jar to include the latest mod that your favorite rom just doesn't have!
Etc!
WHAT ELSE IS NEEDED:
Java [For functionality]
Gimp [For png and .9.png editing]
Winmerge [For easily identifying file changes]
Notepad++ [For smali and xml edits]
7zip Archiver [For creating/managing .zips]
A general knowledge of everything mentioned!
INCLUDED FEATURES:
Apk Manager 5.0.2 by raziel23x
-Zipalign
-Apk Tool
-More
Dex Manager 1.0.0 by RandomKing
-Smali
-Baksmali
AutoSigner by Stericson
DOWNLOADS:
>>Android Kitchen 1.0.4<<
>>Alternate Download<<
(Rename from '.bin' to '.msi'.)
CHANGELOG:
Version 1.0.4
-Removed rogue classes file (reduced install size)
-Fixed shortcut
Version 1.0.3
-Redesigned AutoSigner menu in line with overall menu
-New versions should install over old versions
-Version number shown in cmd header
-New splash screen
Version 1.0.2
-Added shortcut to kitchen folder for easier file management
Version 1.0.1
-Fixed issue with APK Manager not including requisite folders
KNOWN ISSUES:
-When using my Dex manager to Smali/Baksmali, it may say "File Not Found" and appear to work anyway. It will work anyway. All this indicates is that prior to performing its function it is removing a preexisting directory or classes.dex to avoid overwrite issues and that none currently exists.
-Sometimes baksmali will not properly perform, but running it again usually solves that.
I post this in 'General' under the assumption that most users in the 'Development' forum can do all of this and more without my help.​

I figure, some people are daunted by command lines. Plus it can be tiresome. But even more so, some that want to try their hand at developing (the only way to learn it!) don't know where or what tools to find. I made this some time ago, and have been adjusting it ever since to my liking.
XDA is for sharing, right?

Awesome

what do i do with the .bin file?

So can I compile 9.pngs with this instead of Eclipse? I couldn't get the Android plug-in to work on Eclipse...thanks.

Thanks, RandomKing, I've been thinking of creating some CMD line scripts. You just saved me the trouble!

Wow this is awesome! Thank you for all your hard work!

The developers of ApkTool, and subsequently Apk Manager are the ones that gave me the idea... why not one cmd interface to rule all of my programming needs?

No problem, I figured I'd finally made it as user-friendly as possible. I had a lot of trouble keeping all the necessary codes memorized, and smali edits to framework.jars was my biggest annoyance!

Full Featured Developer Script for ROMs - Need ideas for a name

I am currently work on a program/script to manage ROMs, and I will be releasing it initially for the Kindle Fire for beta testing. This will be a full featured program with the following :
- Compile ROMs from source
- Extract & zip ROMs
- Decompile/Compile APK and JAR files in the ROM (selective or the whole ROM at once)
- Unpack / repack kernel
- ROMs and devices each will have their own config file to store information specific to each, such as comments and status
- Much more planned, such as the ability to browse and edit files, search and compare, etc
The big advantage to this, and what prompted me to write this in the first place, is the ability to have all of the necessary tools in one place and better keep track of your ROM projects. As I was working on modifying or porting ROMs, a big headache was having to go to so many places to do different things to a ROM, which leaves files scattered all over your hard drive.
This will help keep everything more organized and the goal is to cut out manually having to do so much when it comes to basic tasks, and eventually even the more advanced tasks involved.
The initial release will be for Linux, but a Windows version will follow (minus the Linux specific features such as compile from source).
I have made some great progress on this already, and am close to a beta release.
So, what I need help on is a name for this. Here is what I have so far as choices, I welcome suggestions. Those that reply with suggestions for a name will be the first to receive beta versions to try out
- DEVROID
- [ARM] Android Rom Master
That is all I have so far, so please throw some good options my way.

How about - Kindle Fire Rom Manager?

This was originally just for the KF but most of this stuff is generic enough to work on other devices, so I will be adding functionality for multiple devices. So the name shouldn't be specific to the KF. I'm just offering it for the KF first.
When it was going to be KF specific I had "Kindle Inferno" in mind....
Now that would be a good name for a ROM !

[GUIDE] How to port sense to non-HTC devices.

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

[TOOL][WINDOWS] ADB Graphical User Interface GUI

Hey guys I know I have posted some other similar programs, but hopefully this will raise the bar on how people use Android Debug Bridge.
So To start off, this program will not root any phone, but can easily break a phone if used improperly.
Secondly, If you need to ask what a button in the program THEN DO NOT USE IT!
I will only answer questions if they involve drivers or programming bugs, NOT for something like "What is Sync?" because If you do not know, then you do not need to know now.
SEE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE RECENT UPDATES!
This program has some built in ADB functions:
Rebooting- Recovery/Bootloader/Fastboot.
Sync from a folder (If you don't know or have to ask do not use!)
Use logcat
Start up a shell instance (With root if possible.)
Remount (Needs root also)
Flash(Recovery/Boot.img)
Root SOME devices(Using Bin4ry Script Credit to him)
Auto Download Root script
adb shell built in now
cmd shell built in
automatic updates
push files
install apks
get misc system information
Download ODIN for Samsung devices
Detect HTC device correctly for once lol
Application Manager
ADB Learning Center (Under Construction but not beta)
4.0-4.3 Backup Manager (Using adb backup NOT Nandroid)
0Nandroid intergration
Build.PROP veiwer (Soon to be editor too!)
Free device ram and kill background process
MORE TO COME!
___________________________________________________________________
Also a BIG thing for this program is the ability to install ADB and Fastboot into Windows as a command in Command Prompt.
This would allow one to use adb as a normal command from CMD.
E.G "C:\Users\Lab\>adb shell"
Instead of having to CD to C:\android\and all that.
Download the program: Version 5.0.2.26:New Download link[/COLOR]
As far as the newest huge feature in ADBGUI goes, the Application Manager is to be considered Pre-beta and should be used with extreme caution.
Requirements for the Application Manager:
> You need root
> It only works with 3rd Party (Downloaded from google play or other source)
> It does not work with all devices and has some major bugs.
Come on guys give some feed back!
Well enjoy!
Have questions or maybe want to report an issue?
Check out my Discussions Forum here otherwise you can post here at XDA Forums
About ClickOnce:
The core principle of ClickOnce is to ease the deployment of Windows applications. In addition, ClickOnce aims to solve three other problems with conventional deployment models: the difficulty in updating a deployed application, the impact of an application on the user's computer, and the need for administrator permissions to install applications.
ClickOnce-deployed applications are considered 'low impact', in that they are installed per-user, not per-machine. No administrator privileges are required to install one of these applications. Each ClickOnce application is isolated from the other. This means one ClickOnce application is not able to 'break' another. ClickOnce employs Code Access Security (CAS) to ensure that system functions cannot be called by a ClickOnce application from the web, ensuring the security of data and the client system in general.
Some other thinks about ClickOnce:
My ClickOnce application is personally signed, so windows will tell you the publisher is "Unknown" but that is OK. It will install just fine.
[UPDATE Nov. 21st 2013]
Hey guys!!
Just wanted to share some news for all you linux users!
I will be starting a linux conversion for ADBGUI to be fully compatible with Ubuntu/Debian/Arch Linux Distros!
Details: Click Here!

Looks great! Will try as quickly as possible.

Is this ADB GUI project open source?
I think this is a really cool idea. Might also help get more users into ADB and willing to learn what things do. (sometimes it's scary when thinking of command line)

Make sure you run as administrator and that all the files are extracted from the archive. Also make sure they are all in the same folder.

hey guys ,can i port a cm10 touchwiz rom to a cm10 rom for LG P700 ? ..

I don't think it can be used, coz when they are from different manufacturers, they'll need heavy framework modding etc which the tool does not do.
So its better to port from the sam manufacturer and a similar specs device.
Regards
N

i understand ,that was the real fun in all this porting thing ,i realy wanted a touchwiz inspired rom ! thanks a lot !

The tool won't help you with it coz each one would be different. There's a guide arounf here for porting manufacturer roms, try that

An automatic "porter" for different devices roms is kinda impossible as this software would be able to practise magic lol. This means it would download the related kernel sources, edit them and insert correct code, including proprietary device files, configure the kernel and compile it (besides of that it must grab the toolchain and set the PATHs, etc, etc..). Then it would decompile the roms framework (of course including full automatic smali magic ) detecting the correct requirements and edit that stuff before it compiles and signs it with system sign keys.. And last but not least it has to compile board related drivers (for kernel and rom) and bake them into the project. When finished all processes it builds a full working flashable rom zip for your device - and if you are nice it will also download the right Gapps and copy all of it to your SDcard
Sorry for sounding like an a**hole Just joking a bit.
The point is that a software like that would do all the work for devs and we all wouldn't have to work that much.. It would be nice, but it's just too much code, too complex for a software to do this. Porting a rom to another device cannot be done with prebuilt files usually. You need to work with the source and that's a lot of work. Except the devices are using almost the same board, chipset and CPU.
Besides of that: This is a nice tool! Thanks for your work, this will be helpful for beginners to perform some first steps! :good:

im trying to port axiom for the hd to the m im using dhackers pere aosp as the base for the m. everything extracts fine then starts the porting process then at the end it says THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE FILE SPECIFIED THE FILENAME, DIRECTORY NAME, OR VOLUME LABEL SYNTAX IS INCORRECT. that is after desktop\romporter\temp\platform.xml 2 files moved any ideas?

By the end you mean which step? The end of extraction?
