so subscribe to this thread!!
i hope that there will be many custom ROMs after this
now you all think why did i do this if theres another tutorial for making custom ROM? answer: this is good alternative and this is not just one HOWTO!
HOWTO´S
-custom ROM
-edit build.prop
-5 lockscreen mod and extended power menu

p.s dont blame me if something happens to your device while doing these how to´s
p.p.s if you want some special how to you can always suggest it in this thread

[HOWTO] make a custom ROM
How to make custom rom:
you will need: ADB, root explorer (maybe) and the files that are going to be in your rom!
the guide is based on The Dark Lestat's guide, i made it more easier and specific
code to delete unwanted apps: (if ADB)
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
rm /system/app/nameofapk.apk
code to add apps and stuff: (if ADB)
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
adb push nameofapk.apk /system/app/
1. flash the ROM that will be your ROMs base. example: my ROMs base is JPM so i flashed clean JPM
2. make a list of the features that are going to be in your ROM
3. then start adding those features. example: i added live wallpaper support so i did this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793823 i also added JIT so i ran the automatic batch file from the thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026870 . then you just add those features.
4. put your sd card on to your phone (if it isnt there already )
5. when your done adding different features you go to ADB and type this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
then you wait about 2 minutes and there will be some text and then you type this
Code:
exit
exit
and in your sd-card will be freshly created factoryfs.rfs, import your freshly created factoryfs.rfs to your desktop. now you choose your kernel.
5. kernel, download the kernel you want to your desktop.
6. download total commander to your pc
7. open total commander, open the base ROM.tar. example: my base ROM was JPM so i opened the JPM.tar and replaced the kernel and factoryfs.rfs with my factoryfs.rfs and my kernel (fugumod 2.2) using total commander.
delete everything else in the .tar but, Cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, zlmage and data.rfs and the logo!
then you test if you can flash your ROM... if it boots, you did it. if it doesnt, try again.

[HOWTO] edit BUILD.prop
HOW TO change firmware version, phone model, build version in "about phone"
1. open root explorer
2. go to /system, find build.prop, change to read/write mode. open the build.prop in text editor
* change build version: 4th line should say ro.build.display.id=(here you write your build version name), reboot and check build version in "about phone"
* change model number: 15th line should say ro.product.model=(here write your model number ), reboot and check model number in "about phone"
* change firmware version: 8th line should say ro.build.version.release=(here write your firmware version, like 3.0 honeycomb ), reboot and check firmware version in "about phone"
you can also change different things but ill write a guide of that later
hope you like it!

[HOWTO] port a THEME
reserved for later use

[HOWTO] get 5 lockscreen mod and extended power menu
-your ROM must be deodexed!
-you can get extended power menu and 5 lockscreen mod by downloading this --> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PKHVA57W
-extract it to root of your sd-card
-open root explorer and copy/paste the files to /system/framework
-reboot and done
OR
use adb like this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
adb push nameoffile.jar /system/framework/
-reboot and done
***NOTE rebooting might take some time so dont panic

[HOWTO] deodex ROM
you must be rooted
What you'll need:
A Windows based machine
xUltimate v2.2
Patience
Process:
-Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"
-If everything goes well xUltimate should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.
-Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.
-Now these well take a while. Run option 3.
-IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex" (if you even have it). It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.
-Now run option 4, and wait.
-Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.
-Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.
-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
and voila your phone is deodexed
original guide by webst3r, i changed it so its easier to understand

[HOWTO] get ADB up and running (easy way)
ADB is an acronym for Android Debug Bridge and is a development tool for the Android Mobile Operating System
NOTE this is only for windows!
-open this link --> http://adf.ly/Xfyl wait 5 secs and click upper right corner "skip ads" it will download a program that automaticly installs android sdk (wich includes ADB)
-Open the app, leave the destination as C:\ and click ok/install
-Installing ADB/USB Drivers:
*NOTE* You may need additional (Device Specific) Drivers for your Device!
- Connect your Android Device to your PC using the provided USB Cable or just a plain ole 6-pin to 4-pin usb cable... (I prefer to use one with a ferite core)
- When the new hardware device notification pops-up on your pc point windows to the driver folder we moved to our C-drive(C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver) and install the adb driver.
** if your having issues with installing ADB drivers read this --> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20575563/ADB_Drivers_for_dummies.pdf
-Running ADB from the Command Prompt:
-Windows XP: Select Start or Tap the Windows Key on your Keyboard, select
"Run" and type "CMD" then hit "Enter".
-Windows Vista/Win7: Select Start or Tap the Windows Key on your Keyboard, select the search box on the left and type "cmd" then hit "Enter".
Add the "ADB" directory path as a system variable in windows:
-To do this right-click on "My Computer" and select Properties. Next select the Advanced tab(Advanced Settings in Vista/7) then select Environment Variables.
-Click "New" under System Variables and add the following:
Variable =
Code:
adb
Value =
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
-Call up your Command Prompt:
Time to start adb
- Open up a Command Prompt Windows
- Type the commands below:
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
<-- Press Enter
Code:
adb.exe
<--Press Enter
and voila You will see alot of scripting fly through the command prompt window.
***note! you have to enable usb debugging in --> settings --> applications --> developement --> check usb debugging

I assume this would mean flashing and again restoring all apps. If that's the case, it may be easier to deodex.
But I would like to know which are "essential apps" only. I have flashed to XXKB3 and want to know which apps system I can remove safely.
I also wanted to increase in-call and speaker volumes. When I go in service menu, there is an optin Audio (No.5). Under this there is an option "Speaker". Under this there are options like "Volume" (is this in-call?), "Speaker" (Is this the loudspeaker?), "NR', "DRP", "SER", "CNI". Again under each there are many options, which should I change and by how much?
I had asked the questions in another thread but answer was not accurate(or maybe I did not understand)

3) In step 8, root is where there are folders like "acct, "cache", "config" etc including "system", kindly confirm
4) After copying, do we have to remove cable, set to USB debugging, unmount "External SD card" and then connect phone? Why is this required, we are not using the external SD card anyway.
5) Does this mean open command prompt in phone, Terminal Emulator? Then which commands do we put, the one given by you or given by trip007in?
Is there a video of this procedure?

Uninstall or directly delete from some folder?
I was just reading on forums about deodex and it seems a bit complicated to me still, seems I need something called Android SKD. Not sure if I want to go through all that. Maybe you can give me the stock XXKB3 deodexed rom with "essential apps only" and I can backup and restore my other apps as I did from DDKB2 to XXKB3.
Also hope you can make some changed to your theme in the other thread,

congrats ronhoover

after deodexing succesful, then do a hard reset do i need to deodex again?

Of course

@kkrraazzyy can you please advice on the above
I assume that throughout steps 1 to 8, the phone is on and not rebooted, is that right?
Before step 9, is rebooting required? The SD card is to be unmounted from Settings-->SD Card and phone storage-->Unmount SD card, please correct if I am wrong.
How do I do step 10, is this from within the phone or connect to PC and run what? I have downloaded a file "android-sdk_r11-windows.zip" which I have extracted to a folder. Inside is another file "SDK manager" which when I run, I get some screens as per attached image. Now what do I do next?

i think you should wait until # appear again.
now no more problem.

nope rebooting is not required after step 8 and by not mounting the sd card means dont put the phone in mass storage mode
and 10 the step has to be done from distro
just go the run and type cmd and follow the steps
and before doing this kindly read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701

I installed JDK and adb but there are a lot more updating options than in the guide. Also the update is large. Am not sure which updates to allow.
Instead, can I use this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972852 "? If yes, how?

Thanks for the tutorial but I think some things are missing. What else do we need to install on our PC? Skies? Drivers for the phone? ADB or anything?
When you say do not mount the sd card, do we need to unmount it? what exactly do we need to do here?
At what point to we unplug the phone etc.

[WIP] how to deodex stock rom?

THIS HAS NOT BEEN TRIED ON THE ATRIX 2 YET! THIS IS JUST FOR HELP DECIDING IF THIS IS SAFE! I HAVE NOT PULLED THE TRIGGER YET! WITHOUT A WAY TO RECOVER I SUGGEST YOU DO NOT TRY IT.
I was thinking and remembered the original and deodexing the stock rom. The Atrix stock rom could be deodexed with a locked bootlader. In comparing the instructions below to our Atrix 2 I don't see a reason why this wouldn't work. Can some of you chime in with what you think?

Some input from a little more experience than me?

I was thinking of trying the same thing, but I didn't want to run this without a way back.

I know they had tried it on the RZR and I think it caused a soft brick so they backed off till a way to flash. I was gonna try the way they had performed it till I seen they were having problems.
We are really stuck right now with no option to flash back to stock if we brick and I'm getting withdrawals LoL

I'm unfamiliar, whats the point?

Yup. Even tried uninstalling all java and re-installing then unzipped xultimate to another directory. And no dice..

deodexed make it zipalign or not?? in xultimate have zipalign.exe . how to use it??

[Q] How to deodex my phone?

Hi guys,
i got one question to ask - how to deodex my phone?
I used xUltimate and deodexed the apps but the commands to coppy it to the phone seems not to work at all.
So how to copy done_app and done_framework to phone? I tried to use cmd in windows and adb shell but it says that cd command is not valid.

Deodex
Advantages or disadvantages
- Odexed ROMs are slightly faster, deodexed ROMs are slightly slower
+ You can make custom themes for your ROM
+ Performance los is negligible.
Requirements:
Download XUltimate
Busybox installed
Root
1. Connect phone to computer
2. Start xUltimate, we will now get the required files from our phone to deodex and zipalign it which we will describe in the 3rd step.
3. On the main menu of xUltimate, choose option 5 (Pull and deodex all). Everything will be done for you here. Don't worry. You will see all your finished files in the folders 'done_app' and 'done_frame' which are located in the installation directory of xUltimate.
4. move folders 'done_app' and 'done_frame' folders to your sdcard, you can find these folders in the directory of xUltimate as described in the previous step.
5. Make sure the sdcard is not mounted to pc anymore
6. Open Windows Command Prompt and type the following commands.
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl12 /system
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
chmod 644 /system/app/*
chmod 644 /system/framework/*
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl12 /system
sync
reboot recovery
7. Now data and cache reset in the recovery menu...
8. reboot
If one of the commands, for example 'cp' is not found, try putting busybox in front of the command:
eg: busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

both ways don't work. The program seems not to recognize this commands. Can i do it via root explorer?

Explain me the exact scenario.
This given method should work by all means. There is no escape.
Check the USB drivers.
Check the connectivity.
Then do it again.

drivers must be right 2 days ago i've flashed the phone. maybe it's adb, i copied it from one click folder.
i will copy the text from cmd as soon as i will be home.
btw, the process is ok till 6th point of the instruction. then it fails at cp command (busybox cp also).

When ya connect the phone to PC, it will show 3 different modes. Like USB mass storage and stuff. One of em is MTP. pull down the notification bar, you will get those options (when connected of course)

Good. Thanks for sharing this!
I already Deodexed and zipaligined my rom using this tutorial to achieve the same.

Media Transfer Protocol. Gives you access to your SD Card and phone storage without unmounting them from phone so your SD Card is also available through phone as well as on PC. If you access any file on your phone, it will first copy it to PC and then open it which makes it slower. But its good enough for transferring pics and music and basically MEDIA TRANSFER as the name says..

Wait for a while....
Until you get the [email protected] again you must not do any thing because the previous step is not done.....
Be patient.
The step copy system apps take 5 minutes...
And there is a space here before remount
mount -o rw, remount /system/ /system/

What are the advantages of deodexing the stock rom?
I came across this thread and it gave me curiosity to find-out the stuff which I wanted to read for long time. Odex and deodex..
The only advantage I came across of deodexing was posibility of theme modifications.
Some thread on XDA and google said that with odex rom (1) boot will be faster.
With deodexing, they said (1) it will take up more data space (2) theoritically deodexing will slow some performance and (3) longer boot times because of big dalvik cache...
Please can you tell me exactly where I am wrong?
