Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator [Script] Drag/Drop Support [Windows]

Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator [Script] Drag/Drop Support [Windows] - G1 Android Development

This script has 2 main uses:
1. Modify an update.zip
2. Create an update.zip
For #1 - You just extract the contents of an update.zip into the placehere folder, modify its contents, and run the script stating to create an update.zip
For #2 - So far these are the options i have in there for create the update-script
1. Copy directories
2. Copy files
3. Create Symlinks
4. Delete file
5. Delete directory
6. Flash boot image
7. Set permissions for file
8. Set permissions for directory
New Features in 2.0 :
- Set java heap size / compression level for zip
- New drag/drop mode.
>>> - If you drag a folder onto the script's icon (as in Script.bat) it will compress the contents of the folder into a zip and sign it.
>>> - If u drag a zip onto the script's icon (as in Script.bat) it will sign the zip for you.
So this script guides u as u select each option, and adds the appropriate command to the update-script file. Then u exit that sub-menu and create update.zip
Heres a video for a better explanation:
This script is a result of me constantly wanting to modify roms before i flash them & users who are unaware/lost as to creating/modifying update.zips.

Awesome Gotta try it out.

I tried using this to just push a single app into /system/app just to see if it would work, but when I try to flash from recovery I get E:Syntax error in update script
when I open my update script it reads thus:
Code:
package_extract_file("LearnPython_1.1.1.apk", "/system/app/Python.apk")
Do you know what the issue might be?

Hmm thats wierd. Can u try placing the file inside a folder withing the placehere folder? N then try it. Tell me if tht works, in meantime ill try a example, perhaps the new changes i made broke something
K i figured it out, i forgot to place a ; after the line. Try placing it and then flashing. Ill fix it.

update-script is now
Code:
package_extract_file("LearnPython_1.1.1.apk", "/system/app/Python.apk");
but I still get a syntax error
Edit: I had also tried putting it in a placeholder file, but that didn't help either, even with the added semicolon

Hmm so something seems wrong with my package_extract_file syntax
Even though ive compared it to online update-script samples. Regardless, for now use the copy directories option instead.

Retry, cuz i just did it and it works fine.
Created a folder app inside placehere folder
placed my apk inside it
Ran the script, chose option 1
Then chose option 1
Then typed DATA
Then typed app
Then typed app
Then typed 9
Then typed 2
Then flashed the update.zip
Letter Casing matters, if it says SYSTEM or DATA , do that dont do data or system.
Btw, first clear out using the script. So when u run it. type y to clear ur previous work.

K i uploaded a fixed one. No file option for now just directory. And added a push to sdcard option. I think wht u were doing was putting it inside a folder and still using the file option.

Yay, it works now. Thank you for creating this and for helping me.

Well the reason i do it on something like mediafire is cuz its not xda dependant and that its one of the few sites with no waiting time for downloads. Plus i get to monitor # of downloads, in order to know if something is in demand, hence ill work on improving that.

Ok, well I've tried both firefox and IE and they both do the same thing. Can you post a mirror because I've never had any problems with mediafire downloads before? I even logged into mediafire and it still gives me this error:
The website declined to show this webpage
HTTP 403
Most likely causes:
•This website requires you to log in.
What you can try:

It works just fine for me too. I just combined Chromatic3.7 rom with httclay's theme by changing the framework.apk and the services.jar files. I also deleted some system apps as well as added a couple of my own. I also put my own bootanimation.zip on there and it works fine.

My first successfull update.zip
Ok so I have messed around with this a lot and I have successfully created a update.zip rom that runs stable. I decided to go with the Chromatic 3.7 rom based off of cm-5.0.8-DS Stable. Feel free to download this and give me your feedback. I take no credit for this rom what so ever. All of the credit goes to Chromersmith and the other devs that made this, not me! This rom is only 1mb larger than the original, about 59mb. What this rom includes:
-reverse nexus style bootanimation (added by me)
-Stock ADWLauncher.apk from cm-5.0.8-DS Stable (has the nexus style launcher, but isn't all themed up. It runs smoother because it isn't as much of a system hog. Added by me)
-apps: Mytouch Music (came with rom not added), 3D Gallery (removed Gallery for same reason), cachecleaner (great for freeing up internal memory), Wireless Tether v2.0.2 for eclair, and of course all the regular stock system apps like YouTube, etc.
And of course you can modify this and re-post your own results as well the same way I did. Isn't that the whole point of this thread?
IMPORTANT! Make sure you read the Chromatic 3.7 thread to get all of the requirements and settings correct after flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679135
I take no responsibility for anyone that breaks their phone because they don't know what their doing!
And of course enjoy:

I just finished my second update.zip
Ok so I put a lot more work into this one than I did the first one. This is based off of the CM-5.0.8-DS Stable rom+gapps. I got sick of having to flash the gapps seperatly after flashing the rom, so I just added them in.
-Added the Multitasking OC Kernel and a lot of other things like a black status bar mod, and a custom ADWLauncher icon.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
-Added other icons to stock apps like music and a few others that I can't remember right now lol.
-Removed the stock Cyanogenmod boot animation and replaced it with the reverse nexus style one (takes up less memory and boots faster, really fast!). Once you get it flashed and get everything set up, reboot your phone and watch how fast it boots up. Mine boots in about a 30 seconds once the boot animation comes on.
Apps included:
-3DGallery (Default Gallery, removed Gallery to save on internal space)
-CacheCleaner (Good system cache cleaner to free up that internal memory!)
-New Phone.apk added from Chromatic3.7 rom (looks very nice btw)
-Wireless Tether v2.0.2 for Eclair roms.
Requirements:
-Danger SPL or Engineering SPL:
If you do not have these or know what they are then do not flash!
-I highly recommend that you have a swap partition of at least 32mb:
If you want this rom to run smoothly, or enable compcache under spare parts app.
Instructions:
-Do Nandroid backup!!!
-I recommend a wipe if your coming from anything other than cm5.0.8-DS based rom, otherwise, just flash it, and then run fix permissions!
-Download and flash as normal:
It will say welcome to cyanogenmod 5.0.8 DS! Do not be alarmed, this is not a stock version of his rom! I did not want to take the credit away from Cyanogenmod and his team for this rom, since I am using so much of it!
-SetCpu:
Install SetCpu. Run app and select auto detect speeds. The kernel on this rom will allow you to overclock way faster than you should. I can run this stably at 614MHz max, and 245MHz min on ondemand. If you go more than this, your phone will probably lock up, and you will have to pull the battery out just to reboot.
-SpareParts:
After Flashing you must change the clock and date color under spare parts found in the settings menu. I changed everything to white because it's a black status bar, but change to whatever color you wish. Also change the Carrier PLMN label color, and the Carrier SPN label color. The only color I change under the notification settings is the Notifications ticker color. Set window animations and transition animations to fast! Check fancy input animations and launcher in memory.
-ADW settings:
Under sreen preferences set Desktop scrolling speed to 0, it's silly fast! Set Desktop overshoot to 50. Select orientation sensor and auto stretch.
Under UI settings check Hide AllApps Bg and Hide AB Bg, and this will make your launcher look much better. Uncheck scrollable widgets unless you use them. Select whatever else you want, I like to select Hide icon labels and closing dockbar as well. The only one I don't check is the tint ab.
Run Firerats Patch:
Download and run Firerats Patch. This will patch things like facebook sync, enable swap partition, and a lot of other things. Dowload and place the fr-patch133.txt file on the root of your sd card. Go to terminal emulator and type "su" and press enter. Type "sh /sdcard/fr-patch133.txt" and press enter. This will bring up a list of commands for the script, along with an example of how the script works. Everything should install correctly unless your don't have a swap partition on your sdcard then it will not install swap. Everything else should install just fine. Once it finishes type "reboot" and your all done! It will take a long time to boot as it is finishing up all of the installations. Be patient and do not interrupt it by rebooting or powering off your phone!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=348484&d=1277328643
Make sure swap or compache is working in terminal emulator. Type "su" and press enter. Type "free" and enter.
I have put a lot of work into this, so that I can use this as a daily driver rom, until a stable froyo release comes out. This rom is really fast once you get it set up correctly. I mean let's face it, we have no idea how long it will take for froyo 2.2 to be realeased. So until then, let's keep on modding!
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you break you phone because you did not read the requirements or follow the instructions correctly!

if we have a lot of files, do we have to write them manually into cmd one by one?

Upgrading from Leaked Froyo to OTA Froyo
This will show you how to factory reset back to 2.1, Update to Froyo, Root & Deodex (to allow custom themes)
☢Important Notes☢
* Applying SBF will perform a factory reset and wipe all data off your device
* Do NOT attempt to SBF a OTA Froyo (hopefully we be available in future)
* I have tested this method and had no problems
To Apply SBF
1a. Download RSD Lite
SBF INSTRUCTIONS: Install the RSDLite 4.7 program by double clicking on the program.
Move the pst_flash.ini file into the following folder --> Program Files/Motorola/RSDLite
1b. Download SBF from HERE
2. Install the drivers that for Windows to recognize Droid X 32 Bit or 64 Bit
3. Unzip the SBF into a folder.
4. Open RSD Lite and find the UNZIPPED SBF
5. Put your Motorola Droid X in bootloader mode (With Device off, Press Volume Down and camera buttons then press power). Now connect the Droid X via usb.
6. Click start and sit back.
7. Device will no reboot automatically... You will need to remove battery to power down
8. Put Device into android system recovery recovery (not clockwork recovery)
9. Hold down home button and press power button until Motorola logo appears (continue to hold home button till you see android with exclamation point)
10. Use volume rocker to select wipe data factory reset
11. Press Application button (hard key to left of home button)
12. Select yes, then reboot
Root Device
1. Download DoRootForWinows from HERE
2. Extract contents into Android Windows SDK tools folder
Need Help Installing Android SDK?
3. Made sure USB debugging is enabled (settings...applications...development)
4. Run doroot.bat
5. Will open a command prompt and begin rooting device
6. Wait for device to reboot itself then its complete
Manually Deodex Your DX (Allow Custom Themes like BigDX Serentiy)
1. Download xUltimate v2.2.2 (Created by xeudoxus)
2. Unzip xUltimate v2.2.2
3. Connect Droid X with usb cable and choose windows sync mode in usb connection type (located in drop down notification menu)
4. Run Main.exe
5. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
6. Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
7. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
8. Now run option 4
9. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.
10. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
11. Put phone back in to windows sync mode
12. Open a command prompt, and do the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

What is ADB and How do I use it?
ADB lets you control your DroidX with a command prompt to access system files
How to setup Windows Android SDK (Software Dev Kit)
1. Download the latest SDK HERE
2. Extract contents to a new folder on PC (I have mine in adroid-sdk-windows)
3. Goto control panel and open system properties (or right click my computer)
4. Go to Advanced settings
XP: Click the Advanced tab
Vista/Win7: Click Advanced system settings on the left
5. Click Environment Variables near the bottom
6. Double-click on Path in the first scroll box named User Variables
7. Enter the full path to the tools/ directory at the end of Variable Value text box - make sure to separate from existing text with a semi colon ;
8. Here is what the entire contents of my Variable Value text box
Code:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;C:\Users\Addie\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools
9. Press OK and close remaining boxes open
9. Run SDK Setup.exe from C:\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\
10. If you get an error about not having Java SDK installed but you do, add the path to 'bin' within your Java installation location to the Path environmental variable as described above before the sdk entry you just made. (eg add "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_20\bin;") This is likely to only be necessary where the 64 bit Java SDK is installed (obviously) on a 64 bit machine.
11. If it gives you an error about http go to settings and click on "Force http//....."
12. Unselect all options except for the USB driver
13. If you can't get the setup to work, download the USB-DRIVERS folder - HERE (Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7)
14. On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.
15. Plug your phone into your computer via USB cable (it needs to be on). It should say installing drivers if using Windows.
16. After it installs the drivers, goto the Start menu and type cmd into the search bar (Vista or higher) or click Run then type in cmd (XP) to open the command prompt.
Code:
adb devices
You should see a serial number pop up, it’s the serial number of your phone. This means you are all set. If you do NOT see a serial number, then you need to reinstall the drivers.
Download USBDeview
While the phone is still plugged in, open USBDeview and sort by manufacturer. Find all the HTC/Android drivers and uninstall them all. (Windows Vista requires program to be run as an administrator, otherwise files won't uninstall.)
Once all have been uninstalled, unplug the phone from the USB cable and plug it back in.
The correct drivers should reinstall automatically (check the drivers as they are installing, one should say ADB Device driver).
To check, go to Devices in your Start menu then click on the “Android Phone”. Click on the Hardware tab, and check the list of drivers for ADB Interface under Type.
Done! Now you can use ADB to alter your phone from your computer.
How to Use ADB Commands
1. Use windows Explorer to navigate to Tools folder within android-sdk-windows
2. Right Click and choose new shortcut
3. Enter this Location C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
4. Click next and name whatever you like (Now you will have quick access to command prompt & it will open up to the right directory)
5. Open the command prompt shortcut just added
6. You should see this prompt C:\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools\>
7. Simply type adb shell and press enter and you will be brought to a $ prompt
*If you are rooted you will see # prompt
8. Now you can type many different commands to manipulate your DroidX.... (Deodex, Root, Pull/Push Files, etc)

its located in the framework-res.apk
simply open the framework-res.apk from XSense theme in winrar
goto res/drawable-hdmi and extract all contents
there you will see the battery images (stat_sys_battery_0.png - stat_sys_battery_100.png)
open images in photoshop
adjust hue/saturation
drag altered images back into the res/drawable-hdmi inside the framework-res.apk
then use adb shell to get back to device
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

Hey Big,
Switched from TP2 about a week ago. Loving the new toy. Way too new to this whole droid scene. Can you help a brother out and point me in a good direction to wrap my last brain cell around the whole mod'ing thing of droid life?
BTW, how do you operate the device if you don't have blur/sense on it? use Launch PRo or ADW? (sorry for such noob Q's)
Apreciate your help,

Here is how i have mine setup
From a new DroidX or after performing a factory reset....
I load froyo 2.2
I root it with 1 click root (also in post 1 of froyo 2.2 thread)
install root explorer & adw
import settings from adw file
i load new build.prop (updates so you can see ALL of maket apps, enables media.stagefright)
update to new adobe flash
install all the apps i need
setup my home panels
deodex to enable custom themes
load custom framework to theme my tbar and misc stuff - teenfaces has a good one, i will have the one in this thread up soon

If my wife ever gives me my balls back I may have to try this out. The DX is my first droid phone and after seeing many of the guys I know mess with them I have to say I will be doing this. Once I update with the official OTA of 2.2 I will start work on bricking my phone. I have to say I am really impressed with how you have mod'd so far.

I absolutely love your notification bar! I'll be keeping up on this theme. Looks great!

Looks great! Any ETA on this?

Finializing theme now.... Any Input?

This is still an ALPHA build so please do not be to critical, it needs alot of themeing to be done and there is more i need to put on but i think everyone will be happy with the direction this is going with. This is inludes everything Striked off the list of things to include above.
After flashing it will boot right into clockwork, press power to reboot. Clearing cache partition and Dalvik is not a bad idea but if you dont it wont hurt anything.
[tip]If you do not already have voodoo installed boot time should be 5-7 mins do not panic just be patient.[/tip]

Extracting a compressed file (ex. zip or rar)
1.) Download and install Winrar HERE
2.) Locate the compressed file you would like to extract
3.)Right mouse click on the file icon a drop down menu will appear , select Extract Here
4.) You will then see a progress pop up window that will appear then when completed will close itself
5.)This will leave an extracted file in the destination folder
Congrats you have successfully extracted the compressed file it is now ready for use

To install ODIN packages on your device
1.Download and install drivers on your computer HERE
2. Next you will need to download the Altered Beast zip file from post #1 which will be extracted and placed in the PDA section of ODIN:
3.) You will need to download the ODIN application tool found here ODIN or ODIN MIRROR
4) Extract the Altered Beast zip file to get the .tar.md5 file
5.) If your phone is plugged into your computer, unplug it now.
6.) If your phone is not powered down, power it down now.
7.) Remove battery from phone.
8.) Launch ODIN on PC.
9.) Plug USB cable into phone.
10.) Plug your Droid Charge into the PC via the USB cable that came with your phone.
11.) Press and hold the volume down key until (approx 3 secs) you see a gigantic yellow triangle on your phone, and your phone will be in download mode. The first thin rectangle in the upper left of the ODIN applicate should also turn yellow and identify a com port. You can now release the volume key.
12.) Click on the PDA button in ODIN
Triple check that you pushed the PDA button. Do NOT click the Phone button prior to continuing to step 13. If you choose Phone, you will have bought your Fascinate a one-way ticket to hell.
13.) Find and double click on the Altered Beast .tar.md5 file you downloaded & click the Start button. (This should take approx 3 to 6mins)
14.) Phone will power down when finished.
15.) Close ODIN, remove USB cable from phone, reinsert battery, power on phone and let ROM fully load.
[TIP]It may boot into stock recovery simply Press the home button to reboot
It is also advised to wipe cache partition while you are in recovery [/TIP]
******************************************************************************************************************************************
[INFO]Visual Instructions [/INFO]
First you must download
Odin v1.3
Once odin is downloaded open it, its an executable file so when you open it you will see the following :
Once this is up, do the following
-Remove the battery from your Device
-Plug in the USB cord
-Hold down the Volume Down button until you see a big bright triangle on your screen , underneath it will say Downloading and beneath that it will say Do not turn off target
At this point you will see one of the boxes in the corner turn yellow, letting you know there is a connection, it will look like this
after you are connected you want to hit the PDA button, NEVER PHONE, phone will erase your modem and you will have trouble connecting after that at all.
when you click the PDA button a pop up will appear and you will need to select the file you would like to flash and then click open
now you will see the file appear in the PDA window ,, with connection made and the file in the PDA window, you may now hit Start
Once you hit start this process Should take approx. 5 mins if you are returning to stock . shouldnt take any less time than that and not much more. So dont start freaking out at min 2...(wait till min 7) lol
If you are flashing a Clockworkmod file it should take approx 7seconds.
once it is completed you should see the following window:
Once you have reached this screen it is safe to unplug , put your battery in and boot up..

Resolution
90% of problems associated with Odin are due to communication between phone and computer
Reboot your computer
Redownload the odin package
Use USB ports in the back of the computer, if you already are use a different port
Make sure you did not forget to remove battery from phone (Should be out the ENTIRE process)
make sure Odin is the only application running and Antivirus is DISABLED
If you are using a laptop make sure its plugged in also find the nearest desktop and try from there
****************************************************************************
After failed flash with odin upon power up the following is depicted on the screen
SOFT BRICK
Resolution
First off DO NOT PANIC. there is a simple solution, just remove the battery , plug the phone into the computer, press and hold volume down and it will enter download mode. Please review all the steps oulined in this thread and try and flash again

no i honestly i am not sure how to make it in zip flashable form yet hopefully a developer will show mercy upon me lol and show me how its done

I'm game!
Downloading now.
Just wanted to give y'all a big "THANKS" for all you do!
This is the first time I've flashed a ROM in a long time. SO far, it's been fun - let's see what this one does!
EDIT #1
WooHoo!
After rebooting, it booted into recovery mode (Red Text), so I just rebooted, and it went to the "Red Eye", and about 2 minutes later, we're golden!
BTW, the boot animation is still 'glitchy'. Could this be from my original flashing of v4 Kernel?
EDIT #2
Looks like email is missing....no ability to add either POP email or Exchange email, unless I'm missing something.

Thank you for the ROM ...loaded up perfectly. Are you planning on keeping the background image for the notification pull down or going with a solid color/transparent?

Rom is amazing.

UPDATE: nevermind, found the solution in the thread on androidcentral.
Thanks!
Ok, the rom booted up great. But I'm having calendar problems. I downloaded both the .apks. The calendarsync installed fine, but my accounts say sync is experiencing problems and will be back shortly. So I tried to install the calendarprovider and it won't install.
Help??
Thanks!

I think in the ROM imnuts created, he removed the stock samsung email app. Unless you're talking about something different entirely.

Wow, this ROM looks amazing! Seriously cannot wait to see how it progresses.

Keep up the great work! Followed your instructions and everything is going great. I'm about to download those apks and put them in the place to fix calendar.

anyone on that has the calendar problem?

Im using this rom and dont have the calender bug. Only.bug ive seen so far is when deleting a contact it erases it then force closes on me. But it still does its job so its all good

For some reason, I can't even access the Calendar on my phone. It's not even in the app launcher or anything like that. The widget still works, but even from the widget, I can't open the calendar. Any ideas?

[GUIDE] The Noobs Guide to Android ROM'ing

Work in progress..
Now the purpose of this guide is only one, to guide you through “cooking” your own stock flashable ROM from a shipped ROM… That’s it. It’s not hard but it does help you start the journey of the real dev work. There are to many "Devs" around that just do something like this guide and copy files from other ROMs to theres, And this DOES NOT make you a Developer so please dont go posting stock deodexed ROMs everywhere and call yourself a Developer
Before starting I’m going to assume you have setup the correct ADB Drivers for your device although not really needed to make a ROM, it does make it easier in the long run.
Once you run through this guide you will have a stock ROM with ROOT permissions, DeoDexed, Zipaligned, Busybox and init.d support. From there you can modify your ROM to your hearts content, all this is doing is making your base. The real Dev work is .smali editing, modifying .xmls making your own apps, etc... This guide will just help you to not rely on other members to release "Stock deodexed ROMs"
Wording:
ROM = An Android Operating system
Cooking = Making your own ROM
Shipped ROM = A Stock ROM for your device, e.g. a RUU.exe etc…
Kitchen = The Dsixda’s ROM Kitchen
ADB = Android De-Bugging
CWM = Clockwork Mod Custom Recovery
zImage = Kernel controls CPU, Battery etc.
Modem/Radio = Controls cell signal, internet etc.
ROOT = ROOT Permissions, access to the ROOT or / of your device, kind of like the Windows folder on your computer.
DeoDexed = Removing the .odex files from a ROM to allow for .apk customizing e.g. Theming etc..
.apk = Android application file
Init.d = Allows the running of scripts such as Memory tweaks and SD-Card tweaks etc.
SU = Superuser
CMD = Windows Command Prompt
MOD = Modification
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ADB Short codes that may be helpful later:
Type these directly into your CMD window with your device plugged in.
adb reboot recovery = Reboots your phone straight into recovery mode
adb reboot = Reboots your phone
adb push = use this to push files to your phone, make sure you are in the folder with the file you want to push in CMD (Example, adb push c:\android\SystemUI.apk /system/app)
adb logcat = Tells you what your phone is doing.
adb remount = Remounts the partition specified (Example, adb remount /system)
Note 1:
When making a ROM the overall concept is the same for every device that runs CWM or any other custom recovery. The only main difference is extracting the files you need from the Shipped ROM
Note 2:
It makes it easier to have a shortcut to your kitchen folder and any others you need in your favourites or dektop
Part 1. Setting up the “Kitchen”
Go to THIS FAQ and choose the method you prefer to install on. If you are running Windows I recommend the Cygwin way. It’s easier and you don’t need to keep booting between Linux and Windows, You don’t even need Linux if you do it the Cygwin way. And please do get the pictorial guide HERE, it helps A LOT for “noobs” and don’t forget to install the Java JDK if you do Windows Option 1. Keep in mind that doing it on Ubuntu IS much faster.
NOW IF Cygwin is to difficult for you, just download Ubuntu and install it next to windows.
Part 2. Extracting the files you need.
There are a few different ways you can do this, the main ones are:
For HTC Devices
Get a RUU.exe from the internet for HTC Devices and extract the system.img and boot.img
Download the RUU and run it on Windows, proceed until you get to the screen with the picture of the phone, see bellow. – (No you don’t need to plug your phone in)
{
"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"
}
Open your Start Menu on Windows
In the Windows 7 search bar type %temp% and hit enter
In the folder that opens click in the search box in the top right corner and search ROM.zip
Drag ROM.zip to your desktop, open and extract system.img and boot.img to your desktop.
________________________________________________
For ANY Android Device (Or if you cant get them any other way)
Using a backup of a stock ROM, This way gives you the ability to make a ROM from pretty much any device that has CWM installed.
Taking the system.img and boot.img from the backup folder
________________________________________________
For Samsung Devices:
Extracting the following from a Samsung Shipped ROM
factoryfs.img (and optionally: cache.img, zImage, modem.bin)
TAR file containing factoryfs.img (optional: cache.img, zImage, modem.bin)
ZIP file containing factoryfs.img (optional: cache.img, zImage, modem.bin)
Any of these above methods can be used and the extracted files placed in the ORIGINAL_UPDATE folder of the kitchen in the next step. If your device is not compatible with these methods check the device list in this THREAD for more guides.
Part 3. Setting up the working folder.
Now we have the files needed to make our ROM let’s get to it!
Go to your kitchen folder then the original_update folder and place your files in It
Start the kitchen by starting Cygwin and typing cd kitchen then ./menu
Hit option “1. Setup working folder from ROM” press enter again
Select the option you want from the list e.g. “(1) system.img and boot.img”
Rename the folder if you wish but it doesn’t matter, hit enter
If you are working from system.img and boot.img you need to run through the extraction process in next step. Most new ROMs use an EXT4 file system so if you are unsure just hit option “2 – Run Ext2Explore (EXT3/EXT4)” and follow the instructions in the Cygwin window (If you are just using a .zip or .tar etc. you don’t need to do this step.)
When that’s finished hit “3 – I’m finished unpacking / abort”
Finally hit Y to see you working folder details once its run through the process.
Part 4. Add the options you want to add
A good thing to do now is, keep it simple. The kitchen is best to use only for making your ROM base, once you have the .zip file most customizing can be done from there unless you need to edit the boot.img etc. but we are not going to get into that in this guide.
Now, we are going to make a simple ROM base optimized for speed and functionality. Follow the next steps and by the end you will be ready to build the ROM.
The most obvious of all, we will add “ROOT Permissions”. So choose option 2.
Always stick with Chains method so hit option F, this won’t take long at all, wait for it to finish the press enter to continue.
Next add Busybox with option 3, hit Y to continue and enter when finished.
Most people disable boot sounds (option 4), I usually just do it later if I choose to.
Don’t worry about Zipaligning because we will do it when we build the ROM.
Next choose option 0 for advanced options.
If you ROM isn’t already DeoDexed choose option 11
If you wish you can backup both folders but I usually don’t bother.
Then select option B to Deodex BOTH folders, this one will take some time, on an HP Laptop core2duo with 4gig of RAM takes about 15 minutes.
Now add /data/app functionality so choose option 13 and select Y to continue, This allows you to move apps from the system folder to your /data/app folder before the install, which in turn allows the end user to uninstall the apps if they wish. This can ONLY be done with certain apps, like apps you get from the market.. YouTube, Google Maps, Twitter etc. DO NOT put dependent apps like SystemUI.apk etc in the /data/app folder.
Next add the Nano text editor on option 14
Next add Command Shell or “Bash” with option 15
Next add init.d support with option 17 to allow the running of init.d scripts, sometimes you may have to manually add the init.d folder to your ROM at the end or before build, either way it doesn’t matter.
Now we are ready to build the ROM and flash it. Understand that all these are optional, if you want to you can just deodex the ROM and go straight to option 99 and build the .zip file. This is just what I recommend you do
Next go to option 99 when you’re ready to build your ROM.
For now you will choose option 1 “Interactive Mode”
When it asks you to Zipalign your .apk’s you can now choose Y and it will quickly run through and Zipalign all the .apk’s in your build.
Once finished, it will start building you ROM.zip file this may take about 5-10 mins on a slow computer or if your CPU is busy already.
When that’s finished it will ask you to either continue with the updater-script or not, this is always a YES for you guys, so hit Y and move on.
Now we need to Sign our ROM, this is always a YES also
The final step is to either rename your ROM or not, it doesn’t matter if you do it now or just rename the .zip file later, so do what you wish and hit enter.
Congratulations you have made your first ROM! You can now backup your current setup in CWM and flash it from your SD-Card, be sure to do a full wipe if it’s the first time and install it.
Note 1:
Sometimes you may get an error and CWM wont flash it, USUALLY this is because the kitchen has screwed up the updater-script but this doesn’t often happen. If it does take one from another ROM on the SAME DEVICE (<< IMPORTANT) and add it to your ROM.

A good tutorial for those with HTC devices, the tablets such as those from Samsung do not follow the file structure as before and will require a correct Edify definition file to create an update script that will work.

The kitchen should still sort it out. I've not had a Samsung tablet but its not going to be that different and if the updater isn't formatted properly compare it to a pre made ROM and see what's different

I'm definitely gonna try this out. Thanks for the instruction!

I want to follow this but i see no specifics on how to set up the kitchen on an Ubuntu machine, i purposely took one of my older dell latitude d420 and completely removed windows and installed the latest version of ubuntu, which is 11.10. would you please if possible, post some specifics on how to go about setting up the kitchen for an ubuntu machine, the faq links are pretty much windows specific. you said that using ubuntu would be much easier to go about this adventure, and i am dying to try it out, but im stuck, I know i have the java files and i have the android sdk all installed and stuff (or so i think). Any kind of enlightenment would be much appreciated,,,,,,,im refreshing this thread like every 2 minutes.....i really wanna dive into this

Any kind of enlightenment would be much appreciated,,,,,,,im refreshing this thread like every 2 minutes.....i really wanna dive into this

Just skip everything cywgin. Cywgin basically runs Linux commands on Windows

Everything will be heaps faster if you run it on ubuntu
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

so basically just do all comands written and just omit any refeernce to cywgin? when i extract the zip from the kitchen file, i get 3 folders and a "menu" file, and a readme text. what command do i have to use on terminal to start the kitchen?

How to install:
Open folder where you installed Total Commander (To me it was c:\totalcmd) and make directorium "Plugins" there. Enter it, and unpack content of adbplugin.zip there (this is from Android ADB download you did before). After that in Total Commander open Configuration>Options>Plugins then click on Configure beside F"ile system plugins (.WFX)." Then click on "Add", and browse to your "Plugin" folder. There will be two files: ADBPlugin.wfx (x86 version) and ADBPlugin.wfx64 (x64 version). Choose one that is same with version of Total Commander that you installed. Hit "Open". In next window hit "Ok". Go out of Configuration. And you are done.
{
"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"
}
Now we will run it.
Go to this dropdown menu from image and select Network Neighborhood, then duble click on ADB. If your phone is recognized there will be another "Folder" with Android icon and some numbers and letters. Double click on that too. And you entered your phone.
Some notices:
1. Do not mess around with files that you do not know what is it for.
2. I am not responsible if you mess up something. Like "I deleted modem folder, do not have nework anymore!!! I will kill the maker of this guide!". I am not pushing you to do anything, I am just made tutorial how to manage files on your System easier.
What you can do with this plugin:
Copy files to your internal/external memory;
Push apps in System/app;
Make backup;
Do a logcat;
Make screenshot;
Enter ADB shell...
If you do not have access to the System folder you will have to mount it in shell. Open .shell in this plugin and write this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
And hit enter.
Or if you want easy way for this, install this app.
Open it and hit Mount r/w, and then try again in Total Commander.
WARNING: DO NOT ERASE CUSTOM THINGS IN HERE, YOU WILL END UP WITH BRICKED PHONE. By that I mean folders that are not System, and some that you allready know that you should delete, copy or replace files there.
Lot of new users do not know to make a LOGCAT when some developers ask them to do it. It's purpose is to provide log that will help developer to find error that you have. So with this plugin it is easy to get it. How? Open folder named ".logcat" and copy txt file from there to your hard drive. And there you have it. Zip it, upload it and bring it to developer.
When you doubleclick ".power" you will get extended power commands, like reboot in download mode, reboot in recovery etc.
".screenshot" provide a screenshot of current screen content of your phone. It saves file where screenshots are saved when you use hardware buttons on phone too.
I will update this tutorial as it comes to my mind what could I add. I am open to suggestions too.
Most parts of this are written by me, and I am sorry if my english is not so good.
Feel free to hit thanks if this was helpful for you. I will not kill you for that.

Reserved for future use.

Attend... Good Job Brother, will take time study first...

nice work bro! :good:

Nice work :laugh: Svaka cast

dude this guide is gold... solid gold!!! tnx :victory:

Just to remind people that with this plugin you get much much more, esspecialy for rom coockers and modders, but i'll name just few:
-build-in editor work great with adb-plugin (ideal for quick build.prop editing)
-setting permissions from TC file menu
-compare directories, even within zip files (no need for manual unpacking and repacking when coocking rom)
-compare files (ideal for looking errors, no matter is it decompiled framework.res or build.prop)
-background operations for those long or multiple transfering
-multiple tabs save time when switching between dirs
I am TC user from times he was Window Commander, and i must say: he who learn how to use it to full potencial, will hate to open even "My Computer" icon when it's even simple copy-paste operation.
With this adb plugin, my experience with android file managment have come to a totaly new level...
And yeah, there is total commander for android too, free on play store.

TQ.

Backup & Restore via TC
Hi,
I am also a TC fan.
Have you ever used the Backup & Restore feature of ADB through TC? Please share your experiences. We can backup only the apps right? Can we make a system image of the phone? You know what I mean?

Hm, I never tried it. And it should be on IceCream Sandwitch. I check new version on its site, and it is still written ICS. I will try it when I get time.

When i tried backup option, it didn't work. But i'm on GB (i'll test it with ICS in the future).
For backups i use clockworkmod recovery, so that's why i don't use that option
If you want to backup apps, just copy /system/app or /data/app folder to other window in TC (and you can copy apk files to /system/app or /data/app - just make sure to give all apk files 644 permission)
Making system image of the phone, as you asked, can't be done so easily by just copy files to phone. It is not just files, but all files/folder have their permission value. Sinse there are hundreds folder/files to copy and set permissions individually, it is just not worth the time.
But if you have Clockworkmod or TeamWinRecoveryProject on your phone, making flashable zips is much easier.
I did manage to make flashable ROM this way by copying whole /system folder. Ofcorse, you can't just copy it back because of android/linux permission and symlink things - that's why custom ROMs come with updater-script who have commands to symlink busybox files and set permissions for files that needs them.

I use TWRP for backups. I am just interested if TC can incorporate this functionality through ADB.
It would be a nice accomplishment.

I don't think TC adb plugin can handle CWM/TWRP backups. Or i am not aware of it...
Would be nice feature for sure...

Just to share my experience...
I found this thread because I was looking for a fast way to mirror my Nexus 5's storage without using the ADB shell to handle a single dir at a time. The MTP xfer is (a) slow and (b) fails to copy LOTS of stuff from the SD card (TiBu's backup directory, various app data folders that the apps have tried to protect, etc). I also wanted to get the CMWR partition backups off of the phone in case I bricked the thing while reinstalling a factory image.
I installed Total Commander and the ADB plugin, replaced all the plugin's binaries with the latest versions from the android SDK, and crossed my fingers. It works pretty well! I am getting about 5MB/s pulling from the phone. That's twice as fast as with MTP (plus I can pull from /data/media/) and three times as fast as using Root Explorer to copy to a mounted windows share via SMB (the only solution I'd found prior -- and still a decent solution if there's wifi but no USB available).
I still wish I knew a way to get some full-speed USB2/3 or WIFI file transfers happening.

i got a error when i try to copy file to my phone with TC
said please remove write protect
anyone know what's wrong?
i can adb push file to anywhere of my phone (/sdcard/ ,/system/....)

(sorry for the previous swearing language... gonna repeat politely):
SO.... I can't understand.... WHY
OH MY GOD...
WHY on EARTH this isn't the MOST DISCUSSED / IMPROVED / UPDATED feature on the entire Android WORLD?
can anyone explain it ?
WHY on EARTH are people still using /COMMAND-LINE ADB for copying files ?
I can't understand it....
It stopped working here.... I'm sad....
Also, the BEST PROGRAM OF ALL ---> Beyond Compare stopped working too...
I used like 20 times a day, to synchronize my PC files between my 32gb sd card (it's BY FAR, the MOST USEFUL TOOL OF ALL)
I think it's a Driver issue.... (but in this case I have to put the blame on Motorola and/or Windows....)

it stopped working for me after some FW update (5.1.1)
constantly drop off connection, also when I copy some files it is possible that several files didn't copied..
I didn't chahnge any drivers etc. just FW.
since that time it works very bad via Total Commander.
I've heard that this plugin (and ADB itself) is not for sync data - what does it mean ? It is not for copying files from/to phone ?

wrong thread place
This thread is definitiv in the wrong place !! - It needs to bee in Android General Thread !
I use this Plugin in Total Comander for two years - its the best

it's indeed (BY FAR) one of the most amazing PC Tool for Android!

Shortcuts
Does anybody know how to create shortcuts to files/folders with this plugin?

still does not work for me

Admin rights are not needed, and will also make the script loose the files around it like your running the script from another folder.
Try editing settings.ini and change USEMOUSE=1 to USEMOUSE=0, if it still does not work let me know. I never had these problems when testing the script, just remember no shortcuts and no "run as admin"

Quick fix [hopefully]

Well here's a quick fix for you, I compiled the BATCH file into an executable so it doesn't loose its path when you run the tool as admin, just copy the exe file inside the app folder and run it as admin instead of the old batch file.
I also recommend placing the app in a short path with no spaces; Example: C:\AFK

Dear Mr.Themike
Firstly, I thank you for your good work.
'Android 4.x only' means, will it work for 4.0.3 ?
I have Dapeng A9230+, running on Custom ICS 4.0.3.
I successfully made framework flashable files through your great guide. But after flashing through recovery, nothing changes. sorry.... there is no Navigation bar.
I think, something wrong myside ?
Best regards.

I tested this tool on ICS 4.0.4 and I think it should work fine on 4.0.3, so here's a tip for you:
Choose Enable Navigation Bar in the app menu, after it's done minimize the app window and go to [dec] folder>[framework-res.apk]>[res]>[values] and look for bools.xml and open it with and XML editor or just wordpad, look for a string that looks like this one:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">true</bool>
If it's there than it's okay and everything is good
Now go again to the app menu and set the NavBar dpi to whatever you like ( 0 disables NavBar )
then go again to [dec]>[framework-res.apk]>[res]>[values] and look for dimens.xml and open it and check if the dimensions you set are right.
After that compile the apk and flash it, If all the previous work is done properly and no errors but still the NavBar doesn't exist then it's beyond my capability to analyse Wish u luck

Thanks for reporting this problem. I'll work on it ASAP, meanwhile try using create_zip script, open it and drag the apk inside the Window and hit enter, a restore zip will not be created but it might work for you
++edit ++
I forgot to ask you, after getting the error can you find zip files inside the goodies folder? If yes what do they contain? Thanks

I tested this tool on ICS 4.0.4 and I think it should work fine on 4.0.3, so here's a tip for you:
Choose Enable Navigation Bar in the app menu, after it's done minimize the app window and go to [dec] folder>[framework-res.apk]>[res]>[values] and look for bools.xml and open it with and XML editor or just wordpad, look for a string that looks like this one:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">true</bool>
If it's there than it's okay and everything is good
Now go again to the app menu and set the NavBar dpi to whatever you like ( 0 disables NavBar )
then go again to [dec]>[framework-res.apk]>[res]>[values] and look for dimens.xml and open it and check if the dimensions you set are right.
After that compile the apk and flash it, If all the previous work is done properly and no errors but still the NavBar doesn't exist then it's beyond my capability to analyse Wish u luck

Dear Mr.Themike,
Thanks for your Reply.
Bools.xml and dimens.xml, everything is perfect as you told. But after decompiling and flashing, there is no navigation bar. I have one doubt. What size we have to give for nav bar ?.(wvga screen).
If I give 37, it takes 37 for both 'height and width'.
Then, If my Rom is in 190 lcd density, the given size will work ? Or I have to be in system standard lcd density (240) for all nav bar sizes ?
Ok. Anyway, for the present Ics Rom, I have no success.... maybe Rom framework not compatible.
I have to try Other Ics and Lewa Roms.(for miui, I have working framework, which has nav bar).
Best Regards.
