[GUIDE] How to customize a ROM

I've been getting a lot of messages asking, 'How do you create ROM's?' Well, I got so many I decided to make this. This process is called cooking a ROM.
The first thing you have to do is get a ROM that's already been created and signed that you'd like to change around. Make sure it's a signed update.zip. Then, you unzip the rom, and you should see directories, like data/ and system/. If you want to add/remove applications in the ROM, you would goto data/app/. In there you will find the apk's of files that will be pre-installed on the ROM. You can add or remove the apk's there. Another place for the apk's is in /system/app. You really shouldn't put new apk's in here, but you can remove the system apk's. So, if you wanted to remove Sprint TV, delete Sprint_tv.apk. Also, the apk's can be treated as zip's; you can unzip them and look inside, and if you wanted to, change around the icon's and stuff like that. After you are done changing around the ROM, you might want to edit the build.prop (This part is optional!) You would find it in system/build.prop. Look for a line that says 'ro.build.description='. You can edit that with the name of your ROM. When your all done, you would zip it all back up, and sign the update.zip. On windows, this is pretty easy. Download flipz pre-kitchen, and use a setting in tools called something like sign apk/update.zip. Navigate to where you put your rom, and sign it. Then, your rom should be ready to flash.
This is also a good post to read:

Notes:
*DO NOT* TRY TO FLASH A GSM ROM TO A CDMA HERO!
If you edited a apk, make sure to sign it before zipping it and signing the update.zip.
If you have any problems, I created a IRC channel for this, so I can give live support:
server: irc.bikcmp.info port 6667 (port 6670 for SSL)
channel #hero-cdma
If you don't have a IRC client, use mibbit:

You're welcome! If you have any problems, get me on IRC.

This should be a Sticky!!! Was thinking about doing it but not best speller.......

Thanks for the guide, what I really like is the irc, I think we should have had one of these up for awhile now, it would help keep the clutter in the forums down.

What's even better is it's being DDoSed. . Anyone got a spare server? LOL.
But seriously, DDoS'es ARE NOT COOL.

Alright, I've got my ROM made and everything -- signed it as well. I put it on my SD Card, and its flashes successfully -- but now I'm stuck at the HTC Screen?
I took the battery out; went back into recovery and Wiped and formatted my SD Card, and flashed again (successful), but still stuck on HTC screen?
Any ideas?

Alright -- this is what I did.
1. I made a new folder called Penguin
2. Took Gumbo1.5c and unzipped it
3. Moved all the stuff from Gumbo to Penguin
4. Began removing apps I didn't want in /system/app
5. Added some apps in /data/app
6. Added a white taskbar to its respective dir
7. Added Espresso -- again to its respective dir
8. Added the 2.1 Icons
9. SIGNED the new zipped folder (Penguin) successfully
10. Copied to SD Card
11. Flashed successfully
12. When I reboot, I stuck at the HTC Screen (I waited about 2 and half minutes)
Steps I've taken to solve:
1. Removed battery
2. Wiped
3. Formatted card
4. Flashed again
5. Stuck again at HTC (again 2 minutes or so, until removing battery again)
5. Stuck again

DDoS is a denial of service attack. They are attacking my server and also my home network. I've got a lot of it cleared out, but still a lot of IP's doing it. Also, try Wubi for that Linux and windows issue.

Should you have waited longer than 2 and a half mins? I flashed Godzson Dialer and rebooted and it took 5 or 6 mins to boot, and when it did...I was happy.
Not sure if you took too much out or added something you shouldn't have, or just perhaps didn't wait long enough for it to boot.
...OH Wait, you mean that HTC symbol at the very begining..........gotcha now! I at least was on the nexus bootscreen when I waited.
Hope you get an awnser soon, I am looking forward to playing around and perhaps cooking up something good of my own

Exactly what I was saying, 2 minutes isn't enough for the first boot. It takes 5 or maybe even 10!

The directory that the 2.1 icons should go in is /system/app/
Lets say I want to change the Browser.apk icon. I would pull it, open it as a zip file, look for ic_laucher.png (or something of this sort) -- and replace this file with the newly created icon (has to be the SAME name as the original file), you'll copy this new "icon" into the original dir, overwriting the changes -- and that's it.

What files exactly are you saying I should edit? I'm up for any ideas -- I'm definitely going to get this to work, I want to contribute damn it!!

I just downloaded a ROM and took some apks that were on the "SAFE" list to remove from the link in the above post. Replaced some apk files with the 2.1 icons....using the same name as the ones I replaces (so I'm not 'adding' anything new)
Renaming my ROM and then zipping it up to flash. (doing it now, and if that works....then I will play with it a little more and see how far I can get until it does not boot)
HOPEFULLY this boot with what I've just done....lol. I should, I've done nothing really...

Easy way to change your bootscreen *Updated 4/11/11* Pushboot 3.0!!!

Well, people keep posting in this thread so I figured I would do a very very large update. I know its been 7 months, and for that I apologize, been very busy and this wasn't a priority.
Now, its one version of Pushboot for everyone. Load it up, follow the directions and you should be set.
Remember to start you need:
-HTC Drivers installed
-A working bootanimation.zip
-An mp3 file if you want boot sound
-Your phone plugged in to the usb port (lol)
-Only ONE .zip and/or .mp3 in the folder containing pushboot
Other than that, I included everything needed to make this work.
Any issues let me know and I can try to help you out!
And leave feedback and if you like this, press the thanks button on this post =D

I changed PushBoot so everything needed is included.
Basically, upzip, put your zip file (and if you want an mp3 file) into the folder
plug in your phone
open pushboot.bat
follow the prompts
(make sure that when the phone goes into recovery that you wait till it connects to your pc before continuing)
and you should have a custom boot animation and boot sound!
Any problems, let me know
I also included the dancing android bootscreen and the nexus one bootscreen.

i'm fully rooted and this method is not working for me. it doesn't load the sound or the boot animation.

Fixed for full root
Fullroot users use pushboot2.bat
otherwise, just use pushboot.bat

i'm getting no audio on pushboot2 and i'm fully rooted. at the end i just see echo then echo then the program closes. no reboot is done to my phone.

well first of all I JUST reuplaoded a new zip, so get that (forgot to hide all the random code)
also, I assume you put an mp3 in the folder right?
and to reboot you have to choose reboot in your recovery on the phone

I cant get mine to work, it placed my boot stuff in the media folder
where does the bootanimation.zip have to be because it keeps saying that it missing. Where does the bootanimation have to be on my computer or sdcard?

Keep up the good work, I like the ease of the process.

Re: Easy way to change your bootscreen *updated for fullroot!*
On your computer in the same folder as pushboot.bat is where the bootanimation.zip and SPC_animation_final.mp3 has to be.

Good job OP, I'll give it a shot later, using now the custom boot from Fresh 0.3 ROM.

Very useful, thank you very much. timothydonohue: lol.

OP you have any composed boot screens we could try out with this trick? I mean I'd like to see if I can follow your steps with a good working bootimg. before I go trying to make some of my own....baby steps for me

[Theme] Blue Sense

By request I put together a blue theme for a friend so I figured i would share.
Every thing is stock sense except for a couple changes that were made to stock images.... all the green has been removed from framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk and has been replaced with blue. I re-drew all the .9pngs and there should be no major bugs... if there is please let me know. Location icon was also removed.
This theme will work on any 2.1 based sense rom.

Sorry I've been busy working on putting together themes for the community. You want to put the zip file on your sdcard then boot into recovery. You can boot into recovery by holding the - volume button and then power when your phone is off then choosing the appropriate options on the bootloader screen. Once you get into recovery, select the choose zip from sdcard option and find the theme.
You must be rooted in order to apply. If you don't know how to flash a zip from recovery then you may need to do more reading before modding your phone. If you need more assistance than this, please donate and I will walk through the process via gtalk or gmail. Please don't post rude comments because haven't replied for a day.
Thank you that is all.

Yeah, my fault man. Thanks for your work. I'm not rooted & don't know how & don't know as much as I should about how to do all that stuff, so I don't guess I'll be using this theme. It's hard to learn just by reading when you don't know what a lot of stuff you're reading even means.

i just tried this. just noticed that you said you removed the location bullseye icon. you did, but it leaves a black space where it used to be. something else needs to be edited for the icon and the blank space to completely go away.

[Req] Boot animation- PS 1 startup - Success! Request fulfilled

Edit 4-3-2011: Request has been fulfilled by kpkimmel. See this thread for his ps1 and Sega boot screens.
preview of ps1 boot screen below.
I saw someone made a boot animation with the PS3 startup screen and it made me really nostalgic for the playstation 1 startup (both bios and os screens). In my opinion, the PS1 startup was the best ever! Can anyone make the PS1 startup below into a boot animation? Preferably with sound? To me the sound is the best part!
Thanks in advance to anyone who would indulge a hopeless girl geek!

lmao OMG!!!! ... :,) that was a blast yea i'd love that

give this a try, push to your phone, should work, didnt' test it just kinda rushed it...so hopefully you enjoy. Thanks.
Also i uploaded two different ones, they are the same boot animation just tweaked a little bit because some evos boot slower or faster than others..so try one and if it works great, if not, try the other one.
Also included flashable.zip so you can flash from recovery.

gahhh this just reminded of FFVIII

Thank you, your donation is much appreciated as i am attempting to start development for Sprint Android devices fulltime.

So im running CM7 #33 and just tried flashing the third down "PS1_flashable.zip" that didnt work. So I tried just using root explorer and moving the first lnk into the system->media and deleting my other boot animation and that didnt work either any body can point me in the right direction?

None of these attachments work.

Matt, what part failed? Did you get an error message while flashing? I think if you are doing this manually you have to move both the SPC_animation_final.mp3 sound file and the bootanimation.zip included in the ps1_bootanimation.zip file into /system/customize/resource/. That's where they are on my system and it works fine.

I was always under the impression that the bootanimation.zip went in,\system\media
I hot it working now, just without sound.

the sound should work just fine, not sure if your putting in the /system/media part if the spc_animation_final.mp3 has a different name or not, i'll look it up and get back

Yea I tried flashing it first and it did give me a weird message appeared but it did say it installed fine. However that didn't work so I tried manually putting it in my System->Media section and that was no go.
I did unzip one of the files and put both the SPC.mp3 file and the boot animation.zip in my System-media and it worked this time only without the sound
^
But that could be because im running CM7 and I don't think it can play sounds while booting up, But I could be wrong?
Also it was pretty short loading up and was black screen for the better part of it rebooting any way to get it to repeat or load up slower so it stay's on the scrren longer.
Whew...I do love it though! So thanks

to slow the boot seq just go into the bootanimation.zip open the desc.txt and change the 60p to a lower number.

Could someone make this a bootanimation?

Alright, I have several friends who want the same thing, so it would not be just for me (and it might convince a few people to get an Android phone ). But if someone could make this a bootanimation (AOSP, Landscape), I would be ETERNALLY grateful. I would not be able to compensate you financially, but if there would be anything I could do for you all you would have to do is ask*
So, can anyone help?

I'm on Sense, and I tried it with my Rom and it worked/ran like a champ. It's in Landscape. It's late so I didn't try do any audio with it, but if you wanted to, you could probably easily pull that song from the video and simply rename it/push it. IF it doesn't work, it's most likely because I messed up the desc.txt.. Let me know and I will try to fix it ASAP.
Anyways, let me know if it works.. Going to bed.

I'll get it working for you, it's an easy fix. It's working on my phone right now. I actually forgot to replace the one I did last night for you with my original one. Rebooted my phone this morning and your boot animation played.
Working on it now, and I'm going to flash over to CM7 really quick to make sure it boots like it should.
Edit - http://www.mediafire.com/?z47q232h8h4tfia I accidentally uploaded it with the Sense desc.txt. It's fixed in that version. Also, on my Sense Rom when I ran it, it went through the entire animation fine and looped the last ending I have it set to. On the empty CM7 rom I tested it on, it booted really quickly because it had virtually nothing to load, so it didn't make it through the entire animation. Let me know if it makes it through all of it on yours.

Thank you!
I have the MP3 for it as well. What do I rename it to, and how can I use ADB to push the zip and mp3 to my phone?

I believe you rename it to SPC_Audio_Final.mp3 but I'll have to double check to make sure. I never use Audio on mine.
If you want, you can find root explorer and then use that to move the files throughout the phone. It's an application for android. ADB will work as well, there are plenty of tutorials as to how you set it up.
The commands are..
ADB push bootanimation.zip /System/media
That should be where yours is located. If you find that root explorer application, you can do it all from your phone through the menus. Just copy/paste. The audio file should go to the same place as the boot animation.

You're fine. I'm new to doing bootanimations, so you definitely know more about it than myself.
