So I'm creating a custom ROM.
My Problem:
I can't root it.
Everything is fine UNTIL I change the contents of "/system/app"
Why?
Has anyone had this problem?
Share the knowledge!

I've been trying to load a custom boot animation from Rom toolbox. Not having any luck. It has an install option that doesn't seem to work. I've gone into system media file and there are no signs of any bootanimation.zip. I've copied the custom ba into the system bin and replaced the existing file with it and all I managed to do was get a black screen rather than the stock ba. As far as I can tell I have full r/w permissions. Am I going about it wrong or is Rom toolboxes boot animation not compatible with inspire?
Thanks

After replacing bootanimation.zip are you changing permissions to R/W, R, R? Don't know if it's necessary, but I always do it that way and have never had a problem.
If you don't see bootanimation.zip in /system/media/, do you see it in /system/customize/resource? If so, put it here
Youre the man. I didn't even think to look in there. Thank you

Guys,
I really need your help here!!
I beginning to try to create status bar themes for sense 3.6 ROMs on 3.33 base but am getting a bit stuck.
I've pulled all the .pngs I want to edit from SystemUI.apk (decomplied with Multi APK Tool), edited them using photoshop and saved them (Keeping the filenames the same) then recompiled to get the new APK (ensuring it is still named SystemUI.apk).
I don't know how to create flashable zips so have used root explorer to replace the original SystemUI.apk file with my new one and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted but nothing changes.
I don't know if I need to edit more than these image files (like stuff in framework.res.apk) or if there's anything else apart from image editing I need to do. Can anyone please guide me on this?
Once I can do this, I would love to be able to create flashable zips, to flash new themes and I have found odd bits of info here and there online about how to create them, but I am still unsure about this, so if anyone can help me with that as well, it would be great.
Can anyone please help/guide me here?]
Thank you :fingers-crossed:

Hi,

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone had figured how to bring Sony's stock ServiceMenu.apk to work in CM or other custom ROMs that don't have it?
ServiceMenu (*#*# 7378423#*#* from dialer on stock ROM) is very handy for battery test, GPS test, Compass test and calibration, all the Sony device-specific hardware tests.
I tried to make a recovery-flashable zip by extracting ServiceMenu.apk from stock ROM but it doesn't install. I did more searching to find it also depends on files in /system/etc/permissions and /system/framework so I also added those to the zip, but still fails to install.
Can anyone with better experience chime in? I think a flashable Sony ServiceMenu.apk zip would be useful for every custom ROM on Sony devices.
So far I'll attach my zip which puts all the files where they should be, but App does not install. Signing problem? Odex problem? Please any ideas
Hi Guys,
Need some assistance here.
I want to customize the pre-install apps on my device (Meaning adding another)
I noticed there is already a DIR (/vendor/operator/app ) where facebook, twitter and all other .apk files is.
If I add another .apk file there, where is the script where I should state that it must also install the new .apk's?
Also selinux... if I change the bootanimation.zip in /system/media it default back to the standard Android bootscreen.
How do I further check my permissions? I did a getfacl on the original bootanimation.zip and a setfacl on new bootanimation.zip (permissions is the same)
What am I missing?
Is there some sort of basic guide for customizing the basics in Android 5.1?
Thanks

Hello,
What device do you have?

Hello! I'm working on making a debloated ROM for the samsung galaxy j7 (j700p) model. I have these files: https://gyazo.com/24b7abcb91a62cfaa0e8fd80ca6731be
I can still always create a new system image.
I was wondering, how would one include things like Xposed and SuperSU as system apps? Here's a picture of the system. https://gyazo.com/341a4bd5ebc0d4fd49a0368520a9df4c
With Xposed, I'm not sure how to put in META-INF. Everything else is in. Not sure what to do with that folder.
I'm not sure where to get the app folder. I was going to put it in the app directory.
How do I get the image pre-rooted? I'm not too sure on that either.
Finally, what files do I need to create the final ROM? I have those files, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to have anything else or something.
Thanks for the help in advance!
