Program for making a rom from RUU files - Hero CDMA Android Development

I am in the process of making a program that automates the process of making a rom you can flash to your phone using the system.img file from the RUU file. Does anyone have an interest in it once it is finished. Basically it unyaffs the file creates the directory structure of the rom puts everyhting where it goes, allows you to creat an update script and then signs it.
Is there any body that has interest in this or not?

Soooo yay, another kitchen! Sure Ill try it.

Sure. If it's flashable AND removes the potential for the RUU 110 error phone brick situation it will be extremely welcome.

definitely interested!

Count me in! I'm interested.

Most definatly.
I hope you dont charge for this kitchen, I hated having to pay for adfree from Modaco to use his kitchen, when after using it, I wasnt satisfied. It still had bloatware, so I still had to remove things, and other essential things werent included.
However, I havent tried...flipz? Kitchen program since I went straight from 1.5 to 2.1; cod someone point me to some more?

A great OEM package "kit" would be Alex's OEM Packages. It's a great start until you can build your own OEM packages.

2. Is the CORE folder within your C drive?

You download an OEM package set. You find out what you want to get rid off program wise, you highlight everything in that OEM folder. You copy it. You go to the OEMAPPS folder (and every other OEM folder) and you paste it. Say yes to overwrite whatever will be overwritten. Right away, press the delete button on the keyboard. You just deleted every file that belongs to that program.
Ivan, one thing about your roms that has always bothered me is that with my 8gb memory card when I do a soft reset the phone loops between the 2 splash screens untill I remove the card. Is there a way to fix this? Right now I'm running your stripped version of JustMe, however have had the problem all the way back to Just2Clean.

It's not my ROM only, as this happens with a lot of ROMs. At one time or another, I had figured out which software caused the problem but I have forgotten since then. Which packages are you building the ROMs with?
Im not sure if this is the same thing that live4nothing asked, but after doing lesson 2, and moving the OEM folder, when I open the OEM folder it is emtpy. I understand that I am supposed to get my own packages, but isnt there supposed to be somthing in the exsisting OEM folder? I followed all the steps, and changed the folder settings, whats up?
No packages, running the stripped version from your website before installing anything.

Did you start with your stock Herald/Wing ROM? Try it again. See if you get any errors.

Strange, it has only happened to me after installing AudioManager or some other software. I think it was audiomanager. Well, I guess you're now a beta tester for me to see if that happens to you with the new ROM.

All ROMs made with a Kitchen that uses "all_packages_to_one.exe" like bepe's kitchen will not be decompilable. Besides, you always want to start with a clean slate. Using someone else's ROM without their permission would start issues.
Ok I will try it with the stock rom
Hmmmm.... I think ttran might have the secret for my problem... Flashed Open Touch 6.5 stripped, installed Touchflo2d (audio manager was already cooked in) and no issues with restarting. Now that you two are working togetter..... can't wait to beta test that

But remember that the cooked in version of audiomanger is older then the one that comes with 2D.
Most people are trying to get the audiomanger from the 2D since it looks nicer and etc.
I have everything working correctly on my bro tilt but still working to fix them on the wing.

lightest rom

Would be the rom produced from Ivan's Justme kitchen. You got to choose what basic apps you want and end up a lite rom that only contains what you needs exactly.

What does the error say? Make sure you've installed the required components. (.NET2.0 and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package.
thank you for your hard work and patience. ok it worked after i installed those two programs. now what do i do? i ran the bat file with out errors and now what?
You build the ROM all the way through? (BuildOS, compile, nb->nbh and all?) Then open your ROMBUILD_JustMe folder and transfer the HERAIMG.nbh file into your cell phone's SD card. You have to HardSPL first before using it. Then reset the phone while holding the camera button down and press the down volume and wait until it tells you that it's done.
On a side note: I didn't realize that I had THAT many posts...
thank you so much for all of your help. i ran the bat file now i have no idea what to do. this is the first time i have done this. what is the next file i have to run? how do i compile it? what spl do you recommend?
You HAVE to HardSPL. As far as what to do, follow the bat file. It's a script. Just follow the steps that are on the screen.
i have no idea what was going on with it but i ran the bat file and it crapped out about halfway though before my nbh file was built. but then it all of a sudden started to work. i just finnished hard spl on my device no i am coppying the 4 files in the storage card
4 files? shouldn't there be only one?
sorry my post got cut off but thank you so much it works very well. i kinda wish the wing had more ram but the rom is not going to change that. i only had to install 2 things that you did not have. windows live for hotmail and a good battery meter. thanks again for all of your help
More RAM? How much are you getting? (The phone only has 64mb so with having Windows Mobile running, you can only get so much free.)
my phone says total 43.78 and with just windows running i have 12.42 free what about you?

Combining different MODs

I applied a theme, and a few of JChi's mods to my ROMs, and was wondering if I could put them all together and either do a .bat or .zip?
I'm not sure about pushing files because of the theme, etc, (which would be done in bat)
Any help is appreciated.

combining zips
which mods do you want done?
I'm assuming you're asking, cause you'll zip it up for me, and it is appreciated, but is there a thread/tutorial in this? Do I just need to "sign" it?
1. Stock_Espresso - on DC updater
2. JChi - No End Call Button MOD
3. JChi - No Clock in Taskbar
4. Vanilla Lockscreen
5. Custom boot that I have
Thanks for the response!

Nandroid first
Give it a whirl!
awesome man! if you check the 2.1 themes thread, and look for my name in the table of contents, I posted a theme that is pretty much exactly what you are trying to do.....plus some stuff that i liked. If you rip it open, you should be able to see exactly what you need to do to make yours work. Have fun! If you need any help, post over there and someone will give you a hand.

Awesome, I had some trouble with the syntax in the update script but got some help from some good posts, and a few failed attempts!
I think I got it working, my custom bootscreen is currently on, but for some reason I think it moved my dalvik-cache from my sd to ROM, not sure how that is going to work out...haha.
See if it all worked once I'm booted.
yeah, update scripts give me fits sometimes. I normally "borrow" mine from others and then modify them to fit my needs. But then, I'm a cheater

Well I messed something up because it tries to load espresso and it just restarts my boot screen again...haha.
I did have a number of failed flash attempts so I'm going to restore my nandroid and restart, make sure we're good, then re-flash my update.zip and see if it fixes itself.
I tihnk it could be the dalvik cache is too much (considering how many apps I have installed, etc.) and its causing problems.
Not sure what would have reset the DC.conf file....Oh well...here's to troubleshooting!
UPDATE
Got it up and running.
First time I've zipped and signed files. Now I just have to get the courage to edit and make themes! LOL.

[Q] Flashing new leaked Froyo on Linux?

I'm not too clear on how to flash with the ODIN method on Linux. Is there a way or should I just start throwing together a VM to do it?
EDIT: Some googling tells me Heimdall might be what I'm looking for.
Scared myself for a while there. Using Heimdall requires extracting the whole ROM and specifying each file individually, which wasn't made terribly clear. All good to go now, though.

What do you mean it wasn't made terribly clear? Did you read the README?
You obviously didn't realise I hang around these forums
I'll put Heimdall instructions up when I get a chance. Don't worry (=

Why, hello! I just found your README in your github, it wasn't included in the AUR package I installed, probably because Arch users don't like making things easy for themselves. It's definitely as clear as can be. Thanks for the app, it saved me a lot of trouble. Allow me to buy you a beer, since you called me out.

First try at modding.

Ok. I am trying to convert a very nice chinese rom for the samsung captivate, to have english on the ui buttons instead of chinese. I have an idea how to go along with this, and the software, wish me luck and I will keep you updated on my progress with the rom modding. I hope to upload a compleat rom which is satisfactory, soon'er or later. Alot of .apk modding, rom testing, and apk signing will be needed on my part. I'll try to keep it nice like they made it, and the english support is all ready there just not on all the .apk applications included, that's my main goal to get the application buttons 100% ok!.
Frustrating. I just got the rom onto my captivate and the top bar was gone, so that mean's deleteing launguage settings wont take away the chinese interface words on the buttons and also destroy's the top bar. : \ I'm working on it though, I mean it seem's to be an application only issue but I don't want to rid the rom of applications just to get rid of chinese words for english words on some buttons. Any ideas? sry for my spelling. Btw I took those launguages out of SystemUI.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk, and i did it with Apk Manager here on windows 7.
Well that project went down the tolit, i'm too new to be trying that just yet, i'm just messing around with adb in cmd on windows for now, it's fun trying to figure things out and mess with my phone remotely! i'll let you guy's know if i find out any thing usful, thank you! : )
Keep at it. A long journey starts with but a single step..:good:
Thank you Grant Barker. I will keep at it, my brother I use his usb cable, he get's annoyed when his hp touchpad is getting low on charge and I got the cable lol, trying to figure out and test stuff with android. I test alot of rom's I find online and a few I really like, i'm more in for flashing a new rom than using one which is strange, also more into screwing around with the files than the normal day to day end user would ever dare doing. I like the stock captivate rom, I see issues though, the old JF6 version (stock) ran smooth as silk with a few audio glitches at boot and a lil lag at first run, but otherwise an ok version even today it still run's well for day to day tasks, the kk4 version (stock) is another story, at boot it has very bad visual lagging, i mean once it get's going it's ok but still there is alot of lagging with tasks, I think the hardware was better off with the intended first rom and JF6 kernel, but then there is the outdated issue with JF6 and i'd like to see a rom made from that version to flash and test, also i want to try and make a rom my self from that JF6 stock version better suited for today's online and offline world. Clean and simple that's how I like it. :fingers-crossed:
you seem young, keep at it...you will be a recognized dev in no time :laugh:
Ok! here is a modded .apk you can install in the system/app directory of you're captivate with kk4 rom, please remember to delete or backup the SystemUI.apk from you're system/app directory before! trying this if you want to test my first fairly simple attempt using android sdk and other tools. :highfive: Hope you like it! might even get a laugh.
I forgot to say thank's 2 up ^ thanks. I have a question. How do I get a rom i've modified with the kernel into a zip ready to be flashed, using cwm or any other custom recovery for installing .zip ready made roms. I just don't know how to intigrate all that data wipe and install stuff into a .zip file, do I just? put the main / directory into the zip and hope cwm does the rest lol, I know adb can push the files and folders but it has issues trying to delete un-empty folders which is a pain in the rear end, it like says file system is read read only or says folder not empty when i try to delete a folder but it docent care if i delete system files. Under c:\adb shell , then $ rmdir /system/app , it babbles on about the folder not being empty, even after installing the latist superuser binaries and superuser.apk and busybox with all its jargon tool addons or whatever there called. I just want any advice where to look or how to try setting up a .zip with a rom i've modified, so it can just be installed through cwm or any others like that. Thanks! : )
I'm messing with this rom at the moment http://www.downloads.bombaymobiles.in/index.php?dir=Samsung%20Flash%20files/I897/&file=I897UCJE5.zip it's the erliest version I could find for captivate that's downloadable. If you can find a download link which works for I897UCJE4.tar or .rar or .zip.. my mind will be blown..
Hmm I wonder what this is :highfive: oh ya! it's the KB1 stock kernel :silly: It was so easy to get I dunno why no one else had it. Oh! and what's this :silly: http://www.mediafire.com/?i47m7nmcnd66zgr Could it really be the I897UCKB1 Rom in .tar format, my captivate say's yes! :highfive: it is!
