This is how i made Revolution HD
You need :
Sidekick 4G
Stock ROM
How to make a ROM :
* Get the modem and kernel (zImage) you want to use
* Open the kernel with winrar & extract kernel_flasher .
* Get the APK file's you want on your ROM .
* Open the Stock Deodexed ROM
* Open /UPDATES
* Input your desired modem & kernel inside /UPDATES & Input them .
* Open /META-INF /COM /GOOGLE /ANDROID
* Open updater-script in Notepad ++
* Rename to whatever you want .
* Open /SYSTEM /APP & input the application's you want on the ROM
* You can delete alot of bloat which is application's you don't need
* Open /SYSTEM /XBIN & place SU in there for SuperUser permision's to root your ROM
* Open build.prop in /SYSTEM with Notepad & ro.build.display.id = the name of your ROM
* ro.build.version.release= is the firmware version number you can change .
* Go to uot.dakra.lt & upload your framework-res.apk there & wait for them to cook your desired theme .
* Go to /MEDIA to change sound's , audio , video & boot animation .
* Go to /SYSTEM /ETC & make a folder called init.d & place all your desired script's in there , IE Zipalign , SDCARD tweak's , RAM tweak's & RAM script's .
* Go to /SYSTEM /BIN & rename recovery to recovery.bak & input a modded recovery in there , IE : Krylon360's recovery
* Flash your ROM & feel the difference from stock

most of this will work fine with other phones as android is structured almost the same way across the all devices. find the phone you wanna work on. get a base rom to build off of. and start crackin. er umm "cookin"
Dude I would so love to help bc I bought my chick a sidekick she didn't like it bc before that she had HTC whick was a mytouch 3g slide so she's wanting me to buy her the 4g slide so when I do that ima keep her sidekick and its game on so I will keep in contact with u k bc one big reason I want her phone is bc it has the wolfson chip set in it or what u would call audio hardware but ne ways we will talk forsure k bro
Since this technique should work on other phones, are we able to use these steps on a ROM such as CM nightly? I would like to make my own ROM for my G2 as well as my wife's sidekick and would like to have 2.3.x on my G2 still. Thanks for the guide, I hope to use it very VERY soon!

theres nothing i can find that would make it different for another device you could do these steps with any rom so im sure it will work but just to be sure wait for rev.
Um new to the sk4g, dont you need kitchen to sign it all for flashing?
Rev. can we use a radio/modem file from another Samsung phone ...because as of now we have no other options at this time ...
You cannot sign a ROM correctly, as you are not Samsung and do not have their official signing keys. We use a custom recovery to circumvent key checking, so ROMs do not need to be signed.
Typically Modems for different phones don't work, as they are designed per phone. You could try out different modems, but you would have to be proficient with Odin, as flashing the wrong modem will soft brick you.
So we dont have to use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 ?

Here is something I put together to enable arabic on any device without changing any linked library in /system/lib which means it'll work cross-devices. This means that your android will be able to connect arabic letters properly to enable read/writing. Note: this will enable shaping for all android menu's and for writing, this will not fix the browser's problem. for that, we need to compile individual libwebcore.so files for each ROM. so we're out of luck there. You can get Persian Browser or the new Firefox browser to fix this problem.
Requirements:
1. your rom has to be deodexed. (if you have /system/framework/framework.odex, this will NOT work).
2. you must be rooted !
3. your android must be version 2.2, 2.2.1 or 2.3 (not tested on 2.3 yet but should work).
Steps:
1. Pull framework.jar from your phone's /system/framework
1. Download the file from the following link:
http://blog.devasque.com/?page_id=11
2. Extract it somewhere
3. Put your phone's framework.jar inside of the extracted folder's framework folder.
4. Click on commands.exe and wait ! eventually you'll get a framework.jar inside subfolder "generated". copy that back to your phone in /system/framework and restart.
Note: if you get a bunch of FCs after restarting, you'll need to factory reset your device.
this should work. It was tested successfully on a bunch of deodexed roms for the samsung galaxy S, and two roms on the G2.
Credits:
I got the script files from iAndroid, a hebrew patching thread that does something very similar to what this does. so hats off to the great minds over there.
The arabic patching files were compiled from source from Y6b's github. So thanks to his great work as well.
Finally arabic is supported across all devices.
hi madmack ! thank a lot
this is a very useful thread.
i test it on deodexed galaxy s (wxJS5 rom) and it worked almost flawlessly.now i have some question. please help me. you are only guy i know to answer these questions.this patch (mod) has some problem to render persian/farsi characters correctly.i am a java programmer and can edit java files and fix this errors.the only problem i face is : how can i apply my modification and (re)compile the source again ? because this files (framework.jar) are in java , can i use eclipse IDE to compile ? i already made and developed some programs and aaps for android os using eclipse . please if you have any ( just any ) information , please help me . again i have no any source and reference to ask these question .this is not a first time for me to ask a guy this question but nobody yet give me useful answer .

hey hamedpc. didn't think i would get any reply anytime soon here, lol.
you'll need to learn how to compile android from source, then apply patches etc.. this is not something i am willing or able to discuss on a reply post here so you got some research to do before you can attempt that.
anyways, if you want to know which files you should look into, simply look at the subfolder "files/froyo" and look at all the .smali files. Then, find the equivalent in the android source but they should be .java. These are the files that are patched.
sorry for not being more helpful
so if i have framework.odex should i just delete it and move on?

you can't do that. you'll need to get a deodexed ROM or google around for how to deodex it yourself.

I use an I9000, so not sure what options you guys have for the Epic.
But I'm pretty sure that a lot of custom roms are out there that are (1) Froyo and (2) deodexed. Almost all custom roms are deodexed.
this isnt working on the epic. i did everything was suppose to be done.
i have arabic but the letters are disconnected. which is nothing new from froyo update.
am i doing anything wrong?

Yea, most likely you are.
It really should work with all 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms. specially the samsung ones. I tried it on JS3, Darky's, JS5 and Doc's ROM for the I9000 and it works.
Just make sure you got a deodexed rom. (no framework.odex file), and also verify that the generated framework.jar is actually bigger than the original framework.jar by about 1MB. (sometimes the process stalls for some reason, so you'll have to redo it if the size is not bigger by 1MB).
im using this rom . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963845
and it is deodexed.
it shows the letters but they arent connected. just like how i was before doing all this.
And yes the size was larger.
i would love if u can pm me ur yahoo or something so we can go over it.. if i get this thing working, my phone would be PERFECT!!
and thanks for ur quick responses!
bro nevermind!
i wasnt enabled root access for my file manager, thats y i wasnt able to paste the net .jar file.
it works great!! i love u to death.. no homo lol
but i noticed FB is kinda laggy when theres arabic letters.
just saying.. dont really care.

this is probably why you couldn't get it working on your device.
this topic is a little advance, and i really don't recommend applying it if you're not familiar with rooting, replacing system files and recovery.
there are many steps you need to learn to be able to apply this patch, which is beyond the topic of this thread. sorry but I can't help you with that.

unfortunately not. these .so libraries require recompiling of the source code.
the patch for libwebcore is up on my github account (same nickname). If you get your hands on your source code for the webcore libraries. Then you can try the patch yourself
I've already patched libwebcore.so for a 2.2.1 ROM for the Galaxy S I9000. It worked pretty well.
that was quick

As promised guys, there you go!, first release for you!, please download from
Here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122455
Why still dont works?, because we need your help, but ROM Manager part it's ready
1. Edit this lines on build.prop, for all ROMS that you want be recognized
ro.build.id= -> Only double number here, should correspond with rom manager format (please not GRJ22 or v1.4.5.1, that will make ROM Manager throw error)
ro.modversion= -> The same name that rom have on ROM Manager repo, no spaces Please
2. Also we need repo list, you can generate with this tool, if you need help, tell me
REPO FORMAT:
romname(should be the same from ro.modversion, with no spaces);directUrl;Changelog:, ,separed,by,commas,without,*,or,-, ,Author(not by bla, only author name);MD5;lastVersion;itsHotfix?*
*We have too hotfix repo, if itsHotfix==true, then ROM Manager, will get download link from another repo, format it's more easy, just hotfixDirectURL;MD5;NeededVersion, so if rommanager main list, have 5 roms, hotfix repo, have 5 urls, if rom dont have hotfix, you can write just null, or anything, like a placeholder
Please give us all the feedback you can!
please DON'T give me thumbs up if you don't give to slade first, Thanks.

Wow you see what you're saying .. making it compatible with ALL possible styles. That's insane :/, as you said, every ROM dev has different style, so will be impossible to get all the ways, so that's why we make unifications , we have unified chargemon, easy-to identify roms, etc. It's just hard, think on this, ROM manager checks doubles from some rom, but how can we check the version, on a ROM, called GRJ22, and the same name on all versions?, how would ROM manager recognize that there's a new version?. it's not so hard for devs, just change 2 things on build.prop, im sure you do it all time for some tweaking or testing

I dont think a unified chargemon is possible as diffrent ones are used between 2.1 ,2.2 ,2.3, and miui roms also using a custom kernel or not makes it even more complicated

Sorry for double post, but this is nice idea:
Just got a idea, about making your chargemon unified, i mean, the basic part of chargemon, inside it, and the kernel addons, and all that things, inside a external .sh on system\bin folder, so ROM Manager, can easily detect / mod chargemon, and your kernel dont get affected

First thing-- if you are a n00b without much knowledge about ROM/Kernel/ etc.. Dont venture into the ROM development etc. world u will end up screwing the device.. Read,understand,ask.. then when u feel u know enough go ahead--
Still if you want to know--Then--
Put the factoryfs.img,cache.img into the original update folder of HTC kitchen.. then Open the kitchen using Cygwin.. And tap option 1.. then press enter .. then press 1..then wait it will extract.. then when u get a set of instructions.. Open ext2explore and select the new ext4_factoryfs.img in WORKING FOLDER-sytem.. then right click and save.. It will extract the system--
There u get your /system... Thats what I did

I'm sure I can handle all of that. If there's a way to unbrick, then that's just too good. It takes my fear of flashing roms away. I don't care how long it takes. I just need a path to follow.

All the work to make the Deodexed.zip of your rom is done to your Windows PC.
Open the Deodexer-Tool.zip you have just download.
Extract the Deodexer-Tool folder to your Desktop or anywhere you whant.
Open the folder Deodexer-Tool you just extract and follow option 1 or 2.
You have two option's:
1.) Connect your phone to pc and run the Deodexer_from_phone.bat whait ....... and you will see a Deodexed.zip and zipaligned ready to flash zip.
-----------------------------------
2.) If you have allready dumped odexed rom and you whant to deodex just put all the .apk's and .odex files from your dumped rom system\app to \Deodexer-Tool\Work\app and all the .jar's and the two framework apk's from your dumped rom system\framework to Deodexer-Tool\Work\framework and run the Deodexer_dumped_rom.bat whait ....... and you will see a Deodexed.zip and zipaligned ready to flash zip.
(If you whant an app like SuperSU.apk to be in your rom then add that to Work\app folder before run the Deodexer_dumped_rom.bat).
-----------------------------------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At the option 1 the script will dump and deodex every app you have at that time in your system/app phone folder.
Doesn't matter if is allready deodexed, the script just ignore deodexed .apk's but it will add to the zip at the end.
The option 2 is same but the script doesn't dump anything from your phone. It is only look what you add at the specificate folder's: Deodexer-Tool\Work\app & framework.
Try it and waiting for your news.

All the work done to your Windows PC.
Open the Deodexer-Tool.zip you have just download.
Extract the Deodexer-Tool folder to your Desktop or anywhere you whant.
Open the folder Deodexer-Tool you just extract and follow option 1 or 2 from OP.

Is there a possibility that we can get something to to the zip-align and deodex without having to move files to and from your mobile and windows. Only cause it seems alittle messy for the everyday user loool I mean i would probably be able to do it but i just dont want to miss anything or do something wrong.
Actually I have an Idea I am going to install the Rom you made then just restore my appz what you think that would be the easiest way right?
Thanks Alot.Need this tool very much .

Will this delete my user apps? Or just replace and add any missing system apps

No isn't possible to deodex and zipalign without move the file's to your pc atm.
You dont have to restore any of your app's after install any of this.

The only think it will be deleted and replaced is the system/app and system/framework.
Non of your app's will be deleted.
Please before do anything make a backup of your rom with CWM so if anything goes wrong you can restore that.
Thank's
Great work ausdim. I've modified your script slightly since I have tools that can extract the .tar.md5 > system.img > system.ext4.img > app/framework folder.
If you need those tools, you can give me a shoutout too - so that you save your time from flashing the device and adb pull it

Hey there....
Thanks for this post, and file.I'm running CleanROM 2.5 on an Asus 300T tablet. CleanROM is an odex ROM, but theres a script I'd like to run that works on deodexed. My question is, when I connect my tablet, am I going into USB mode, or just connect the tablet as if I'm transferring files, such as music.
Thanks for your help in advance.

You need adb enabled on your phone and the drivers on your pc.
we need our own general and q&a thread. I dont like the fact that we have to post in amongst i9300 threads. Can we all ask the mods this? The more of uz the better.

It's a great idea. It'll help to keep the OP leaner. You could also come up w/ a small FAQ that's posted on the OP to help cut down on answering repetitive questions. And if someone does ask a question that's already covered, just point them to the FAQ.
May also want to go into some detail about how to run this on the OP. Not everyone is a developer. You'd be amazed at how many people are mail room clerks, secretaries, managers, work in construction or food service. So, their knowledge is not at all on the same level. They just want to personalize their phone or tablet and be on their way w/o having to get a degree from ITT Tech to do it
Thank you for letting me post. I'm sure I'll have a question or 2 more in the near future. Thank you again.

Hi XDA Guru`s,
I have tried to search for a proper guide which will tell me how to move from 4.1.x to 4.2.x.
There are many roms but all say they are without boot.img, some say xxxx kernel is needed etc.
So someone please put up steps that say how and what to do.
I am not asking you to put up links or upload the required files, zips, .img files here but aleast write it down so as to have a proper step by step instructions.
I am sure we all can search for files on google/xda provided we know what we need to look for.
Please take this request of a less mortal person and shed some light on me.
Thanks
[Guide] How to Port Rom
This is Basic
HOW TO PORT ROM
1. Download base rom (designed for your phone) and port rom (the rom you want to port)
2. Open them with 7-zip (no need to extract)
3. Delete app, framework, fonts and media folders in BASE rom and move the app, framework, fonts and media from PORT rom to BASE rom
4. Your rom is now ready. Boot into recovery, Wipe everything and flash the BASE rom. It should boot. If it does not boot then do the next step
5. Go into system/lib folder in both the roms and replace the libandroidruntime.so file
6. Remember the final rom is BASE rom which you should flash on the phone.

Hello brother....
I THINK THAT YOU SIMPLY ASKED FOR THE STEPS TO INSTALL A 4.2 ROM IF YOUR DEVICE IS RUNNING ON 4.1.x...
ITS REALLY EASY BRO!
FIRST ROOT UR PHONE AND INSTALL CWM RECOVERY(skip if already done.)
THEN DOWNLOAD THE ROM ZIP AND ANDIROXU KERNEL FOR 4.2 AND PLACE IT IN UR PHONE SD CARD.
GO TO CWM RECOVERY.
WIPE/FORMAT DATA...WIPE CACHE AND THEN GO TO ADVANCED MENU AND WIPE DELVIC CACHE.
THEN SELECT INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD>CHOSE ZIP FROM SD CARD AND SELECT THE ZIP AND INSTALL (OR FLASH IT)
THATS ALL.
THAN LOOK FOR THE ANDIROXU KERNEL YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED AND SELECT AND INSTALL IT.
BUT THIS TIME NO WIPES NEEDED.
THATS ALL. REBOOT AND YOU WILL HAVE 4.2 ON YOUR PHONE.

if you want to upgrade to 4,2,2 then just simply install Dark Nexus by Dark4Droid. It has nothing to do with boot.img and kernel. Just download it and follow the instructions and flash it. Enjoy

Hi I installed Dark nexus and it works gr8 expect for 2 issues that i have posted on Dark nexus forum also.
1. Dialer is misplaced keys --- 3 6 9 and # keys not showing completely.
2. lock-screen is also not aligned properly. - The lock as it can be seen has moved out of the screen also the network operator names are not center aligned, lastly the clock in 4.2.2 should be in the center here as we can see it is slightly towards the right.
Any comments ?
Screenshots attached .

PS: remember to take a cwm backup before u do something with system files
this case its not necessary but u never know what will go wrong so it is recommended

Bro.. Its lcd problem. Download root browser from play store.. And then go to system.. There will be a file written build.prop tap on it and open it as text editor. Search for this command
ro.sf.lcd_density= value would be something like 240
If u cant find this command just put it by urself ans set the value to 210. And save it then reboot ur device and done

Thanks for taking time out to reply, i tried that but after applying the value the phone did not move ahead from the nexus logo screen, so had to end up restoring from backup.
later i installed go locker and Dialer apps and they seem to be working fine.
Thanks anyways.
