One Click Rom/Theme Optimizer and Signer

This tool will open any AOSP based rom or theme (as long as the file structure is correct) and optimize and zip align everything.
Simply grab your rom or theme and place it in this folder (should work from anywhere but you need to full path from where the cmd file is run). Now click on the reopto_runner.cmd and it will ask you where the rom is (name) that you want to optomize, type the name of the rom and hit enter, it will do the rest.
Final output of the re-optimized (double pass with 2 different png optimizers) rom will be named rom-optoed-signed-finished.zip this will be exactly the same rom except the script will optomize every png in every apk found in the system/app and system/framework-res.apk. It will also zipalign all these same apks and finally will sign the zip file. When its done just rename the rom-optoed-signed-finished.zip to what ever you want and its ready to flash.
What this won't do is make your zip file (rom, theme, update zip) flashable unless its already set up to be flashable... meaning you'll still need your update-script in the com.google.android folder to be there. Its does sign your zip file for you though.
I put this out there as its some of the scripting and tools I have made to help me in theming and rom hacking.
Feel free to use any part of this to help you in any scripting you do.

Sweet, you are the man. Going to try it out now.

I'm going to try this on the MIUI ROM!

I have only tried this method on AOSP based roms the script should work on any rom or theme or update zip that follow this structure in the top level. system/app/*apk and system/framework/framework-res.apk, which is pretty much all of them.
The script takes about 10 minutes or so to run on cm6 rom and is really quick on most of the themes here. So for instance you could use it to make sure or re optimize a theme or roms.
feel free to tire it apart and use it in other fashions. I can guarantee it will shave some about of space of any rom or theme along with the zip aligning of every apk. If its a short request I'll post some more automated tiny scripts to todo various stuff.

Little confused. I run any aosp rom through this and it makes it compatable with the hero? ( sorry for the newb question)

No I haven't released that script yet. This just optimizes a rom that's all.

Not sure what you did... this is not a flashable zip just a tool to optimize a rom.
Did you run this tool on the miui rom?

Hello,
New to the "kitchen", items like this help us out! Thank you and looking forward to your other scripts. Any desire to do a "how to port a theme/rom" guide? Love the Screaming Droid, I laugh every time I boot up one of my 2.2 roms. I also use your R2 boot but I have yet to get sound on 2.1? Anyway a big thanks goes out to you!

Thank you for the praise, wife been complaining about doing stuff for free so I might have to post my pay pal account with a wife complaining button.
I might just release a script that does it for you. mdpi to mdpi (or hdpi to hdpi) no matter what rom is fairly easy todo. Of course it can only theme what it can match but it will do it for you.
For a more in depth description would take some time so I'll probably have to do it some time later.

maybe but he should have done the png opto and zipaligning already. I do add another png opto that most people dont do which will squeeze out another couple of kb, was able to shrink cm6 by 16 or so kb, which doesnt seem like alot but every bit counts.
You could use it to just see, like whenever you d/l a new rom run this on it and compare the file size, or load the rom and run a linpack and then opto it and then reload it and then do a linpack and see what you get. Some themers don't zipalign there themes and don't opto there pngs, and I have yet to see anyone use optipng and the other png opto program i use as a double pass system of optimizing pngs.
I like to use it for my themes or roms as it automates the hole process. Try it out if you use it on a rom it will give you a new optoed copy that is already sign and ready to flash... one click

Sounds good . Of course, when you say "every rom" you only mean AOSP roms, right? I'd suppose it wouldn't be able to rip, for instance, Nfinite's latest rooted Stock ROM apart and png optimize/zipalign it? If it could, holy crap. On top of the fact I use Odex, that would be amazing.

should work on that to since it only looks at pngs and apk. it will onyl zip align the framework-res.apk and the system/app apk's. Actually try it out I never have but it should work.
remember to nand before you flash it but you should be a ok, as I can't see any reason why it would work.

Hmm. But will I see a difference? Doesn't HTC have their own specific framework-res apk? I'd love to get into ROM themeing, so I've been poking around the ROMs for some time now.

[APP] 1.6 keyboard ported to 2.1+ (ARMv6 needs investigating - ARMv7)

Hi folks,
This is the port of the sexy keyboard you used to use in 1.6
thanks to realunited123 for the efforts making it work on 2.1
thanks to pvyParts for telling that a lib is necessary for this but is missing from 2.2+
go ahead and press the thanks button for them
Thread in general section
DOWNLOAD and flash with ANY recovery as you wish
There you will find a version that supposed to work on ARMv6. Please test it if possible! Thanks!
Your actual libiwnn will be backed up to /system/lib/libiwnn.so.bak when you flash that zip
Looks like the ARMv6 lib is not functional. If you can provide me another one, that would be great!
The lib for ARMv6 is fine. However, the keyboard doesn't work, so logcats would be appreciated. Thank you!
MD5 of ARMv6 libiwinn.so:
Code:
e634eb6dbf632cb477869cedece2d002
See attached images for yourself

Put the apk in System/Apps and set permissions, reboot and it could be OK. Not sure, but should work!
Use rootexplorer to move the apk!

@PlayGunsta
doesn't work
even if I removed the original 2.1 keyboard

Yes I also tried on Froyo, but still... I don't have any idea :/

Does it require any additional libs to work? If that's the case I think it will be hard to port to other roms.
Sent from my X10

thats one thing I don't know, this is why I want someone else who knows smali to do this.
But afaik there are deeper implementations in 1.6 of SE's UXP, so maybe.

I think it's just compiled for an older version of android and so it can't work. I really doubt that it uses any weird libs to work and is just a normal apk. I would be very cheerfull if anyone could port it cause i love the old keyboard too
Sent from my X10i EWJet using XDA App

Howdy guys,
to me this seems like half a app... there is no classes.dex
hence no smali. i not done anything with 1.6 but seams strange to me, maybe there is another apk that goes with it ? or it uses part of android 1.6 as part of itself.
i'll keep looking tho maybe we get lucky.
Pvy.

could that missing part be an .odex file?

LOL I forgot that stock roms are odexed. So yes it is the .odex that is missing.. Can you please post that too ?
Also we will need the framework folder to deodex it. So we need the framework folder , the SemcIME.apk and SemcIME.odex..

that's what I afraid of :/
the motherboard of my PC is short-circuited and is in service, so I can't flash back to 1.6 unless there is a xRec flashable one.

Maybe use xrecov and fix perms

Hey i have an idea!! Will benefit cm7 htc users

Hello everyone,
Im a htc user and currently have the cm7 rom...
Believe me its awesome with its customizations
However some things need to be improved
If any of u advanced techies could help me port some of the apps right away from htc sense cm7 or vice versa (former is preferred) we could use sense type of apps on cm7!
Id love the contacts,dialer,lockscreen,launcher to be ported to cm7
Helpme to morph my existing cm7 apps or else pl help me directly install sense apps to cm7 without [parse,certificate errors]. How do i install them!
Iv have two phones one ofwhich is htc buzz aka wildfire{yeah its old} and nexus!
Awaiting reply...
Thank u
(Thumbs up if u agree)

Ask the developer of Cyanogenmod 7 about this . We can't help you , because we're not the developers of the rom . It isn't what you think so easy to just port it inside , it requires alot of source codes and concentration to do this . As a matter of fact , i think that this is a little bit beneficial to Htc users whom are running CM7 rom . However , i won't support this , because the developers can't be supporting for one device only .

Anyway i just wondered if it was possible to replace res/ files in cm7 apps with that of sense

How I understand it is, there is quite a bit more framework underneath Sense that the apps and widgets to go with Sense need. Sense has some pretty deep tendrils into Android that just a launcher skin.

OK simple answer is no. It will not work. They use totally different framework coding. The Sense apps will not work without the framework and closed sourced drivers. There is no wat to decode them without HTC releasing the code for it which they wont

No you won't has the coding is closed source and without the source code you can't make the needed code changes. Not to mention that CM7 has completely different coding set up from HTC. Sense is not open source so you can't make any changes to it.

There's a few material / dark themes. I had a look but it wasn't in the one I thought. That's either because it was the wrong one or it had been removed. Maybe ask in each thread if they theme Google launcher. I've definitely seen it but I thought it was the one by vivek.
As for why themes are ROM / build specific...
Themes are a combination of replacing images and editing XML files. These are mostly in framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
The easiest way to make a theme is to use these apk from a specific ROM. However, these apk ate specific to a specific ROM or build. For example ROM SlimLP has different features to stock so therefore has different code in these apk, so wrong apk, phone will boot loop. Same is true between 5.0.1 and 5.0.0 etc
There are more complicated ways to theme using things like ZipThemer. This will add your changes to the files that are on the phone already. This means it is more compatible than the easier method, as long as you don't change files that have special code from the Dev in them.

Thanks a lot for the explanantion. I will investigate a little more along the line you indicate.
Happy new year and thanks again (already hit the button!)

Theoretically, if i have a theme for a specific rom but for different update (same Google version, same build), i could extract the the file, replace the framework and system apks with the ones of the new update, re-compress the file and then flash it as a new theme? Seems a bit too easy, but IT makes sense, I think.
