I appreciate that u wanted to creat an informative thread. But actually the information u wanted to tell here is the most basic info which every new user know. So before creating any new thread verify that is ur thread really have any unique info or mod which is going to help people here.

Just a quick word in here...
When making instructional threads, try to make sure that all your information is accurate and complete. In this case you haven't mentioned the you need to set your permissions right... (set it to rw-rw-rw. I hope you know what I'm talking about).
Please make a better, more comprehensive tutorial mate. Also note that at it's core, this is a developer forum, so post your reasoning and everything that got you to your solution.
I appreciate your initiative, but try and do more research before posting, like for your earlier thread regarding boot animations.

[APP] Mini ROM Manager X10 official Thread

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.

First Release for Testing

Please be sure that name on Build.prop have to be this same "CM_TW_V008", and where's version ?
No offense, have you checked first post specs, version it's not a String, it's a double number (so instead of XPERIA TW V008 should be 8.0? )
A bit hard for me to understand your first post

u guys should make it more intuitive... its really confusing... if possible remove so many strict restrictions on naming/version numbering...

dude i am just suggesting so that it becomes slightly easier to get it working... every rom dev has different naming/numbering style... u cant control that... what u can do is to make ur program work with all possible styles...

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

It's not needed unified chargemon that's just an example, i just need devs to mod a little bit build.prop, it's not hard
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

unfortunetely since Tekken isnt using the UOT KItchen we have to install it manually , big pain in the arse because everytime i tried with the Samsung theme i kept messing it up... maybe i can try someday to make a flashable zip but honestly , expect a bootloop xD

It doesnt need Root. You just need an unlocked bootloader , its just reallllly simple to root after unlocking the bootloader

It's quite easy if you have it rooted... get root explorer or any other root file browser and in my screenshots the one with "Conversations.apk" are the correct permissions to make this work without bootloop.
RW,R,R as most people put it.....
all apps except the framework.apk go into the
system/apps folder.
the framework-res.apk must be RW,R,R or your phone will bootloop, this file goes under
system/framework.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MOVING THE FILES TO /system first then setting permissions then moving them to there respective locations.
Also the media folder can be set on your SD card but the boot animation will have to be moved and replaced in
system/media
it also needs to be RW,R,R.
hopes this clears things up for those.
P.S. bear in mind what version this is for! , i also have no intentions of making this for any other rom/stock rom version sorry.
Thank you

Extracting Boot Image from tar.md5

As the Title says. Could someone tell me how to extract the Boot Image and the system and META-INF folder from the ROM I downloaded?
first u can change extension from .tar.md5 to .tar then you can use for example Total Commander.

oooo got it. These folders don't belong to Odin/.tar packages but to CWM/.zip files. Files that are included in .tar packages have extensions .bin or .img. There are no folders there.

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.

- THEME RELATED QUESTIONS (i.e. icons/wallpapers) belong in the theme and apps sub forum: THEME AND APPS
- If somebody asks lazy questions, just IGNORE THEM! They will eventually get the HINT! MarkP80nj Quote: "If no one answers you, maybe try learning how to do it yourself."
- And Hit the THANKS button if somebody helps you! It is the least we can do!

let me clarify this after you install the rom do not change the mount to ummu It only applys to install (made moot after the new installer and i fixed the mount errror issue with the installer cwm.
What it looks like people are doing and why its soft bricking is after install you unmounting the system so when you boot you soft brick because the kernel cannot mount system... Because YOU UNMOUNTED IT.....

What was the font in rc2? ----> sony style
How i can get the blue eye (or any other) wallpaper again?
Which ROM was it in? Do you still have the .zip?
- Pull the system/app/Launcher.apk
- Unzip it. Yes, apk is a zip file.
- Look in res/drawable-hdpi folder.
Does the final.zip have a shutdown animation?
- In the Final.zip file in \system\media\video\shutdown - the folder is empty.
- If you have the BlackEdition.zip file in \system\media\video\shutdown - shutdown.qmg is in the folder.
Add back the 'Audible touch tones', 'Audible selection', and 'Screen lock Sounds' that are not in the Vahlalla - Black Edition - Final-Fixed.zip.

Great idea lumin. Will keep this towards the top for sure. Maybe we can have Raver post a link to this in the OP with something like "Any non-bug related questions NEED to be directed here." Not that anyone will read it but worth a shot.
I would love to see the thread locked and pointed here – as of writing this the thread is already 147 pages.
That would be a bad idea Unless i locked the thread it would mean i would have to make threads for every damm update it did sorry not going to do that... Trust me 147 pages isnt alot when u consider some roms get over 500+.

Didn't realize the OP could not still edit the thread when locked... I obviously have never locked a thread before. Thanks for the clarification.
Removed that part from the original post.
Ahhh - link back up.
guilty!
I like this idea, sadly we might not get to see it in action. I'm pretty new here, and as such, just like anywhere else I go when I'm unfamiliar with my surroundings, it takes a bit to get acclimated to my surroundings. This goes for anyone, anywhere. I asked for a font in the development thread, and I did this after a PM to the dev with the simple question "thanks, nice rom, what was the font in rc2?" No response, I'm sure he's busy. No big deal, so I asked in the dev forum thinking that a change such as this could be easily answered in the forum about the development (read: continual change) thread. It was simple, but people who were running other, more current versions than what I requested were answering me, when all I needed was an answer from someone who knew the answer.
The longstanding members are just as guilty in this forum for messing up threads with "nice work" that have less to do with development than "my DSP force closes but I'm new and don't know how to run a logcat, be sure not to help me and tell me to search everyone thanks."
I'd go back and delete all my non-development related posts but it doesn't seem that I can, if it's possible, tell me how and I will. I'd be happy to delete all 13 of my posts in the name of cleaning up the forum. My solution, in addition to the thoughts by lumin laid out above would be for a forum moderator to delete posts as they get out of hand. I don't know if that's possible, but that's my best suggestion.
It would really help us new people if the sticky threads in this SGS forum were up to date, as well. The bible is dated, I spent the better part of 3 weeks reading and searching before I was comfortable enough to flash a ROM.
That's my 2 cents, and again, I'm pretty new. Sometimes new perspective can indicate that new tricks are needed by old dogs.

I was on GB 2.3.6 or the latest one. I did follow the OP but I skipped step 2 because I read it wasn't necessary and I don't know what UMMU is.
I placed the file on my SD and reboot recovery from CWM and flashed it.
I have a Vibrant and just recently acquired this phone from my sister.
Please let me know if you need any more info and thank you for your patience.

I did this same thing once by accident. Not sure if *all* of this was necessary, but here's what I did to fix it:
Took my SD card out of my phone and placed the custom ROM (Valhalla Black in my case) from the Valhalla Black thread AND the Busybox Installer zip from this thread onto the root directory.
Entered download mode (volume up and down + plug in USB cable) at STEP 6 of this thread. Why from step 6? Because steps 1-5 refer to the transfer from Froyo to GB (bootloaders) and you are already on GB.
At step 8b you will be stock with KJ6 and CWM Recovery. You can then continue with the steps to install the ROM of your choice in step 11.
So now you're going to be following instructions from the Valhalla Black thread, BUT be careful because you need to install busybox before you completely reboot out of recovery to complete the steps in the GB starter pack thread! Flash ROM in CWM, then flash Busybox in CWM.
Do not skip any steps! As for the mounts question, when you are in CWM Recovery go to >Mounts and Storage and make sure that the mounts read "unmount, mount, mount, unmount" for the first 4 options.
Good luck, hope this helps!

OMG! Thanks so much! My problem was that I was flashing something else or another rom so that's why it didn't work.

[TOOL] I9300/I9305 Auto Deodex & Zipalign Tool

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).

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.

No need to confuse your self it is really simple work.
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 .
[Deodexed & Zipaligned GT-I9305 XXALI5] for GT-I9305
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

can you elaborate steps? as i clicked Deodexer_dumped_rom.bat , it created deodexd.zip but when i am clicking Deodexer_from_phone.bat it just stopped at "Connect your phone to PC" however my phone is connected to pc already
Connecting tablet
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.
What we want?
Our own I9305 general thread and q&a thread or atleast our own q&a thread. Lets all msg the mods please

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.
Sorry, not trying to step on anyones toes here. I just came to look for an answer to a small problem I was having
