What kind of rom? Stock based? Aosp/miui/cm7?
Are you going to be building from source?
Personally as a miui porter, I use 7zip, apktool, and notepad++
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
On Ubuntu there is already a good notepad. You need the android sdk (add it to path), apktool, smali, baksmaly, all of the crap needed for compiling cm7, eclipse and it's ADK plugin, 7zip, voodoo kernel repack tools, that's probably all...

I had a question along the same lines. But I'm a total noob to coding. What I really wanna do is take an already built rom and add some mods to it that I like and then save the package as a rom . In doing that I'm hoping to cut my teeth a little into the world of rom creation.

What you are talking about Xalky is more on the lines of themeing. Customizing icons, layouts and adding in fixes, then repackaging it into the flashable. Check out the Themes subforum and the sticky at the top by Dreamsforgotten on How to theme. That may be what you are looking for. Then either Dreams, myself or the dozens of other helpful users here can help you repackage it. It is just a matter of swapping the finished product back into the ROM flashable and of course giving credit to all that contributed or developed the stuff you grabbed to mod.

You are correct. Thats what I'd like to do......for now. Thanks for the lead. It's mainly for myself to be able to save my phone setup as one flashable zip. Is there a way to take your current Rom/theme setup with mods and copy the entire thing from the phone and turn it into one flashable zip? minus my add on apps. I thought I saw someone do that around here.

I believe there is a way to make an Odinable tar backup of your phone just how it is. But that would backup all your accounts and settings too. What you want is to just stuff your modded files back into the ROM zip.

[HOWTO] Use the dsixda Kitchen to make Galaxy W ROMS

This isn't necessary anymore, the dsixda kitchen now fully supports our phone.
Get the dsixda kitchen from HERE. And unzip it to a place of your choosing.
REMINDER: This will only work on Linux and/or Cygwin. Tutorials for that are on the kitchen page.

You provide more than enough! Your first optimized ROM! I learn a lot by looking at it. Then, with this tutorial, I was able to build my first customized ROM by following exactly that you wrote.
You should change the "**MIGHT**" work to "**SURELY**" work!

Thanks for the compliment.
I will keep the **MIGHT** because there are always people who try crazy things (me included) like random porting of ROMs so it's safer this way. xD
If anyone interested to try compile acro68 kernel, I recommend to look into this link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source
Very detailed, step by step and only need to change the kernel source to point to: https://github.com/arco/samsung-kernel-ancora/tree/gingerbread (for GB)
Once the make is successful, you will get an zImage.
Now, in Kitchen, you should have already use option 20 to extract the boot image. Replace the newly generated zImage to get a shiny new kernel. Of cause, you need to pack it back and finally build your ROM.
Finally, replace the ./samsung-kernel-ancora/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/dhd.ko to ROM's system/etc/wifi/dhd.ko.

Hello guys,
Latest Arabic rom link :
Here
Could you please make this rom deodex ?
I am trying to make it using dsixda kitchen but I could not.
i found something in this forum....can this mathod used for sgw?look likes same i follow some of the guide.....
Hey Guys,
I am going to explain some of the files in a custom rom,the small and easy to mod files because the aim is to educate newbies and NOT advanced devs.
Ok,So,I have seen a lot of questions being asked nowadays about making custom roms.This guide is NOT about building a custom rom but about editing and modding it.I am doing this guide taking CM7 as base,not stock,so there might be differences between the roms you choose to mod.Also,I am prone to mistakes here and there.If i made any,please comment about it and i will remove it.Also,please feel free to give your suggestions about making this guide better
What you would need:
Notepad++
WinRar or any other zip/rar manager like 7zip or WinZip
If you want go advanced,you would also need these things
Cygwin
Smali/Baksmali
APK Multi tool or anything like that,i dont care
And most importantly,a brain and eyes(So,Dont ask me stupid questions like,how de fuk du i xtarct? and then in brackets,sorry for my english)
GUIDE:
So,first up,download a rom of your choice(Dont forget to get the permissions for modding from the developer) and extract it.When you extract it,you will see 2 folders and 1 file,it varies.It depends on the contents of the rom.
The folders are:
1.META-INF
2.system
The file:
1.boot.img
So,
Open up system and the first folder you are going to see is 'apps'.
As you already see,this is the place where all the apps go,for the history.You might also see some .odex files below the apps.So,if you remove an app,you should delete the odex file too.If you want to add an app,just drag and drop Take care not to delete each and every app you find,because each of them has their own functions.Also,if you delete contact.apk and replace it with a better dialer like Exdialer,you wont be able to add or delete contacts.So,there are some files better left alone.
If you want to know how to merge them,then use google,there are a lot of tutorials on deodexing.If you want to edit an app,then use APK multi tool,again please use google,lots of tuts on this one too.
Also,you will find an app here and its a main one,systemui.apk By editing systemui.apk,you can get transparent status bars,transparent notification bars,centre the clock.Things like that.The idea with which you edit Systemui.apk and framework-res.apk,thats how your rom is going to look like.These files handle the visual things and they are awesome too.For some systemui mods,refer HERE
Next,the 'bin' folder,this guide is aimed at the noobs,so nothing about this,this is a bit advanced stuff,so sorry.
Next up,the 'etc' folder.There are a lot of things that go here.I wont be going to full details for the moment because i am having exams,so no time.However,i will be explaining the easy to explain files.
One thing you will notice is the 'init.d' folder.If you want to add any script like LagFree v2,just put the files of the init.d folder in the script's folder here,nothing else.You dont need to copy any other files like META-INF.
Another file,is CHANGELOG-CM,just as the name suggests its a file giving you changelogs
Another file is NOTICE.html..Its just a file showing copyrights and all that stuff.You wouldnt need to edit that,would you?
Will add more about the other files soon
Next,the 'fonts' folder..You guys need an explanation for that??
Next,'framework' folder.Here you will find framework-res.apk(Obviously,duh...).I wont tell about any other file because this is aimed at new users,not advanced guys.Framework-res is where all the icons in notification bar are.The battery icons,they are all in framework.Also,lockscreen icons
go here..Most of the icons.If i have to start on anything.It would take me weeks,theres so much to write about framework.Also take care not to mess up the framework.Because its like the skeleton(thats what i know ) of a rom.If a framework is incorrectly configured,the rom wont boot.So,keep that in your mind always when you edit framework.
Next,the 'libs' folder,This guide is aimed at newbies,so not touching this part.
And comes 'media'..Most probably you will find 2-3 folders here.Audio,bootanimation.zip and wallpapers.
If you want to change the default,its in build.prop,not here,i will explain that later.If you need to add some audio,its just drag and drop,nothing much,just put them in the right folders,like alarms,ringtones and notifications
If you need to add wallpapers,reszie the pictures to 640x480,thats the resolution that works for ace.Also resize it to 107x80 and save it as another pic with a _small at the end.For eg,the default file is defaultwallpaper.jpg,you make another pic with 107x80 called defaultwallper_small.jpg.
Then,theres the bootanimation.zip..However way you change this thing.Always name it bootanimation.If you want to know how to make a boot animation,then refer freeyourandroid.com
Next up is 'tts' folder..Sorry but i dont know much about this folder.I think this folder contains the languages for the tts app but i am not sure about it.Same goes for 'usr' and 'wifi' folders.But since this thread is aimed at newbies,i dont think there wouldnt a point in writing them up anyway
Next up is build.prop file.Open it with notepad++...build.prop file is pretty self explanatory.
Here you can change the most basic things like the android version that setting shows..Wondered how people are making 2.3.4 look like 4.0.3 in settings??Its build.prop.Also,you can change what 'About phone' shows here.
Other things,you can change things like,how long your wifi scans,how much battery your phone saves while in sleep,Dalvik VM heapsize and default ringtones.If you are wondering what # stands for,it signifies that,that particular tweak is not running,so you can take out the # if its a tweak you like.You could also use it say things like,Additional build properties.You could make it #AdditionalBuildProperties and go to the next line and give your tweaks there.Some build.prop tweaks can be found in slaid480's thread in Galaxy Ace S5830 titled "[MOD]Build.prop tweaks for SGA" or you can go to freeyourandroid.com and find some tweaks there,however the tweaks listed there are universal,so practise caution when playing with build.prop
Now to boot.img..Theres an awesome guide about this in freeyourandroid.com Please have a look at it,because there are lots to write about this one.This is where Cygwin comes in,for instructions on unpacking and repacking and commands and info about boot.img,referHERE and HERE.My summarized version,boot.img is where you can replace kernels.This is where you can make those low-level changes
Then,to META-INF folder.You would find lots of folders here but the file that you would edit consistently is update script.Find it and open it with Notepad++..Unless you edited xbin and bin files,this is not hard to do..Just change around ui_print to what you like.Dont touch anything else if you dont know what you are doing.If you DID edit xbin or bin files,you would need to touch advanced things like symlink tagged ones(I had to give them some sort of a tag)
Now on making it a flashable zip,archive them to a zip file.Get a signer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...96&postcount=2
The instructions on using that are given with it.Just rename it back to the name you like after signing it.
ganesh...will this work on stock ROM ?

[GUIDE] How to port ROMs from S5830i

Hi,
this is a thread with guide for porting ROMs from Galaxy Ace to Galaxy Y.
Step 1: Extract SGY Stock ROM to BASE folder (I used XXMB1 stock ROM)
Step 2: Extract SGA ROM what you want to port to PORT folder (I used Simplicity V5)
Step 3: Remove boot.img from PORT folder (if exist)
Step 4: Remove this lines from PORT updater-script: assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
Step 5: Go to PORT build.prop and replace this lines with stock:
ro.product.name=GT-S5360
ro.product.device=GT-S5360
ro.product.model=GT-S5360
ro.sf.lcd_density=120
Step 6: Go to PORT folder system/lib and replace these files with files from stock ROM:
libcamera.so
libcamera_client.so
libcameraservice.so
libsensorservice.so
Step 7: Go to PORT folder system/lib/hw and replace this files with files from stock ROM:
sensors.goldgish.so
sensors.cooperve.so to sensors.default.so
Step 8: Go to PORT folder system/app and replace DialerTabActivity.apk with file from stock ROM
Step 9: ZIP the PORT ROM and flash it on your phone
It will boot, but you will have some Apps FC, to fix it, resize them for LDPI.
Thanks
Will try

Softkeys installation

Hello Guys,
I want to change the softkeys on my nexus 4.
I have did it before in older android versions and it worked great.
Intresting enough,
On kitkat I'm having trouble changing the softkeys.
After updating Edify successfully
I can't seem to load the softkeys zip file.
It says:
SKIPPED://system/app/SystemUIapk was not found
WARNING: update.zip would be empty -- not creating one!
I've changed the xml path as follows:
from:
<path>/system/app/</path>
to:
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
according to the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...pthemer-to-flash-themes-stock-t2202482/page11
and then he says:
can't find control file ...
Guys please advise,
Would much appriciate it.
Thanks a lot!
Or in other words ....
How do I change the softkeys on kitkat?
Thanks.

Hi, yes we can help, but keep patient ^^
I'm the OP of the thread you linked, and if you tried to change the xml, you certainly saw the latest messages.. Another member had the same problem and I just changed the xml file, it worked good, are you sure you've done it correctly (I'm not insulting you but, you know...)

Thanks for the responses guys!
I'm not insulted I'm just human and I can make mistakes so everything is cool
I'll ellaborate all the steps that I did so it will be easier for you guys to help me.
I've entered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t2005937
Chose Stock Reflect ICS BLUE theme for the nexus 4.
When entering the link
I've downloaded MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eglqkhlw...k Reflect Blue/MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
I've extrected the file locally and receive two things:
1) MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.xml
2) SystemUI folder which contains other things underneath.
The xml file before the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>

<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
The xml file after the change:

<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
After the change I've compiled the xml and the folder together to a new zip file.
In my nexus 4,
I downloaded ZipThemer
Downloaded the newest CM rom and transfered it to my phone.
Inside ZipThemer I've updated the edify using the CM rom file
and the output was success.
Here's a link for my updated zip file:

In fact you must update edify with the zip from the rom you are currently using... I don't know the vanilla rom, in what is it special?

Hey mate,
It's not a rom,
It's the stock android that we have on nexus devices ...
What you get from system update through the phone
Over the air android.
Oh I thought the vanilla was the name of a special rom...
Anyway, try the attached file. But make a full non-droit backup, we don't always know what happens...
