initFlashFileGenerator

Ok guys, i've been using the Molski.Biz HTC Wizard Custom Rom Cooking Pack and started to create my own rom. I was quite tired to create/modifing the initFlashFile.dat file every time by hand.
So i created this little tool. It will regenerate automaticaly the structure and will merge it with the original initFlashFile.dat.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirement : Java Runtime (exe should indicate if it's needed or not)
Usage :
1 - modify the initFlashFileGenerator.bat and provide the good uri for 3 variables
set ROOT=C:\DEVPACK\ROMDUMP\root"
set INPUT="C:\DEVPACK\ROMDUMP\dump\initflashfiles.dat"
set OUTPUT="initflashfiles.dat"
ROOT : containe the file structure you want to integrate
INPUT : The original initflashfiles.dat
OUTPUT : The generated initflashfiles.dat (original merged with the discovered structure provide by INPUT)

2 - run the .bat file
3 - replace the original initflashfiles.dat with the new one
4 - You will need to copy all the new files from the root directory (and sub content too) into the C:\DEVPACK\ROMDUMP\dump\ to be able to recreate a working rom
You'll also find the initflashfilegenerator.excluded. It's not really usefull except if you want to exclude directory creation
(Don't forget to double every \ in every path)
NOTE : \Windows will never be "created in" and files inside \Windows\ either but all subdirectories will generated

Hope it helps, any comment or feature idea will be appreciate
Source will not be publish mainly because it's crappy one... But usage of this tool is free !

Wow....sounds great!
Gonna test it out and add it to the pack in a couple of days!
Thanks,
Molski

===================
CUSTOMIZE YOUR FOLDERS
===================
1. Using a file explorer navigate to /windows/start menu/programs
2. Every folder (from my skin, has its own icon.lnk file. You can copy that to any folder you like to give it the same icon
3. Put that mess in a nice organized order!!!

Thanks, they are cool. looks great with the new rhodium icons.

Thanks
Excellent. These might end up in my ROM, if I can get evrything else working. Seems like nobody wants to share the Rhodium commanager, which is all I need to make more progress. Thumbs up
Here's some I put together. Not quite as nice, but effective.
Same install instuctions as Gianni86's folder icons.

About
First of all, the reason that this program took this much time to come out is because my career-deciding exams where on. So I'm sorry about that.
The newest edition features a GUI - like UI that helps user to easily create new projects (for rom or collection of apps) and manage them.
With the new algorithm the for compression you can ensure that almost all of your apps get compressed successfully! You just have find the perfect set of settings for that particular app. Use it ti compress apps and get a performance boost for your phone as well as save some space!​
Setting Up your PC!
Note: You can skip this step if you already have Java installed on your PC, or you don't want to use the Sign Apk setting for compression.
Download The following resources first:
Java SE Run-time Environment 7 [ Java Dependencies For Signing APK tool ]
Now let's begin setting up your PC,
Install the above mentioned programs.
Go to Advanced System Properties.
It looks like this:
Go to Environment Variables, then create a new System Variable, having name JAVA_HOME and value as the path where you have installed the JRE.
It looks like this:
Now after creating the JAVA_HOME variable, search for Path system variable in the System Variables list. Now this is a bit tricky. Once found click on it and then on Edit. Move the cursor to the end of the string till you see ";" (without quotes), add the path to your JRE bin folder just after it.
It looks like this:
Manual for Cassini.1.2 - Information about the program.​
Include this in your signature if you like and support Cassini and you are using the apps compressed by Cassini!

Here is one of the solutions for you:
1. Download the ROM you want.
2. Double click it and click into "system".
3. Copy "Build.prop" to desktop or another folder you prefer.
4. Open "Build.prop" you copied with "notepad.exe", find and delete the following words and then save the file:
"ro.frp.pst=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/config"
5. Replace the original file "Build.prop" with the one you revised just now.
6. Flash the new ROM as normal, finally you will find that you can go into Developer Options successfully !

Or you could just edit build.prop right from your devic without a root enabled file browser. And instead of deleting the string you can put a # between so#ro and reboot and the problem is solved and it's much simpler.

“Build Prop Editor” also needs to use after root.
It seems that no apps can edit build.prop without root.
