Ques on how to modify a rom without error

I wanted to take a first stab at doing some basic mods to a ROM and signing it as a zip for myself both to learn how to make a rom and to get the rom just the way I like it.
I wanted to take the IC3ROM v2.5 and make some minor changes for personal use. I removed/added some apps and then signed the zip correctly. One of the changes I wanted to make was to remove the DConfig app. I tried to install it onto my Hero, but got some error about "Unverified" and "DConfig app missing".
Is there some file I need to edit to tell it which apps are included/excluded in the ROM?
Thanks in advance.

FYI, I've already read the faqs and searched about 10 times. Seems like the forum here has become too assuming that no one is searching. I do searches before I post a new thread, which I don't do a lot.
FYI, I did find this post:

it seems somehow relevant, but I can't tell what specifically I have to do to remove the aforementioned error I'm getting.

Not be rude, but that's just the tiny package, just the new vendor and some google stuff, no apps tho.
I have the full and tiny posted on my OP page under "VANILLA - FroShedYo."
I believe framework packed the full, I just updated a few of the apps in it.

Thanks for that workshed. I just might post some screenshots because I already took them... and hey, would you mind if you could teach me a couple of tips for making ROMs? It's no prob if you don't.

Yay i get no fC now

If I can find the time. Start reading up on what you need. Install linux (64-bit if you want to start deving Gingerbread) get the sdk, read up on github, read about git and repo sync'ing, lot's to read before you start attempting.
I'll help you with any specific questions

Need Help Rooting, Really Confused!

Guys I have Nexus S i9020T runnig Android version 2.3.4, Baseband version I9020XXKD1, Build number GRJ22. I have looked around a lot and am confused on how to root my phone, is there any simple way of rooting my phone with super user? I run a very old PC so installing the sdk is pretty hard, so could anyone give me a step by step simple tutorial? This is my first Android phone and am a complete noob at this

Did you read the sticky yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007782
It's a step-by-step tutorial and exactly how you should do it.
The SDK shouldn't really be a strain for your PC.
Good luck,
Greetz

You don't need the entire SDK. Grab PDAnet USB divers and then choose to download just the 2.3.3 SDK and Google USB drivers from the SDK. Worked fine for me this way. You don't need all the stuff the SDK wants to install by default.

Yes that guide works regardless of what Android version you're using because Android version is not a factor. It's the bootloader.
No, it is impossible to root without the SDK because you have to unlock the bootloader using the SDK. You won't get stuck at the Google screen. People are messing up because they're unable to follow instructions.

I've helped people in this topic many times.
The easiest way I can say is to first download the Android SDK listed in that step-by-step thread. It's not that difficult and you shouldn't be scared to do it. Unless you're flashing something for another model of the phone (such as NS4G) everything should be fixable.
Download http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to your respective OS. If its for windows, I know it says recommended for exe but I prefer using the .zip version of it. So download that first if you haven't already.

Sure, but I can't guarantee that I can respond right away. But if you're able to do it now, that would be the best and I can help you step-by-step to achieve this. It shouldn't take more than ten minutes.

It's afternoon here. I'll be on but I can't promise anything being on XDA because I may be busy. Like I said, right now is the best time if its possible. The exe is fine, you don't have to re-download it but I have no idea where the exe is installing the SDK to.

I'm on.. like I said, I don't browse XDA 24/7. You want my help, I'm not going to come looking for you.
If your internet is really slow and you have to download ROMs after rooting. It might be rough on your end because ROMs are at least ~80MB+

I'm done downloading the SDK, I am downloading the JDK right now, will install both immediately. I will try the guide, can I PM you if I have any problem, reply whenever you are free, I will wait and could you give me a link or names to the roms I will need? I will keep them on download while I install the SDK.

Don't know why you're downloading the JDK but okay. Extract it and rename the folder android-sdk-windows-r12 to /sdk/ and place it on the root of your C drive. So it'd be located in C:\sdk\
You need to put your phone into bootloader mode (while phone is off; VOL UP + Power) while plugged in. Do what the instructions say and set up the drivers.
The step-by-step guide is self-explanatory. I don't really want to paraphrase what the guide says because it's pretty simple. Follow the guide you linked earlier and tell me if you experience any problems or have problems understanding what is being asked.
Edit: In part 2, where it says:
switch to the directory where you downloaded & unzipped the ..\android-sdk-windows\tools

Click to collapse
It'll be cd C:\sdk\tools\
(I rename it to sdk because its easier to type than android-sdk-windows-
Edit 2: In part 2 where it tells you to get clockwork 3.0.0.5, disregard that
download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3is5c9n5fi1sd6 instead
when you finish downloading it, place it in C:\sdk\tools\
and type:
fastboot flash recovery 4002-orange.img

This is a newer version of the Recovery and it should function better.

Android 4.2 For Nexus S

I'm new as a posted to XDA but I'v ebeen making kernels for the Nexus S for a good while now. I've managed to take the GIT of android 4.2 and get to to compile with the crespo source from the cyanogenmod jellybean GIT repo with some minor modifications.
I currently have a GT9020A (fido canada network) and I'm currently running android 4.2 on it with my custom kernel.
Kernel Changes
-Overclocking enabled to 1.3 ghz as that's the highest I could get my phone to go stable
-added VR i/o scheduler as default
-added smartassv2 as default governor
-removed fsync for performance (francisco kernel)
I upgraded this os from a stock android 4.1.2 firmware all I needed to do is wipe cache no factor reset
I don't currently have a working installation of APPS and the image is not rooted. Like I said I'm new to this.
Since I haven't posted on the forums before I can't post a link to the firmware I made. Can anyone help me with this?

I guess the issue is that I haven't currently made 10 posts on xda-developers therefore I'm not allowed to post external links guess I'll have to be patient and post regularly so I can actually get the links out there.

Contact the user darkargon here on xda. Or on irc.freenode.net #andromirror. He hosts builds/roms for free and with great support.
Can we PM? I want to build for sgs1 i9000 which should be similar to your device.
I have fully synced android-4.2_rc1 and cyanogenmod jellybean git repo as you did but now I'm stuck.

It's not that hard to find 10 useful things to post..

I don't think the problem is hosting, as others have seemed to assume. I think he can't post the link without having 10 posts

I would to try that ROM as well. It easy to see 10 posts.

the option doesn't exist in the 4.2 stock source because google isn't making one for the crespo. I added crespo to the source from CM10
you can add it by extracting this file to the root of your 4.2 source
