===============================================================================
** QuickStart: **************************************************************
===============================================================================
* open "remove.example" and copy the files you want to remove to "remove.ini"
* copy ROM File to /rom/source
* copy flashable ZIP's to /rom/hacks ("gapps.zip for example")
* copy Files to /rom/addons ("system/app/music.apk" for example)
!! ATTENTION !! take care of Directory-Structure !! ATTENTION !!
* run main.cmd
* Script should finish without errors
* copy modified ROM from "rom/" to Phone and Flash it via CWM
===============================================================================
** Folder Structure: ********************************************************
===============================================================================
*/bin Holds the Files needed by the Script
/tmp Temporary Folder for Script
*/roms Folder with Source ROM, Addons and Hacks; modified ROM File
is also placed here
/source Folder for ROM Source (place CMxxx.zip / update.zip here)
/addons Folder for Files which should be added to the ROM ZIP
(files are added to the root of the ZIP, so in almost all
cases you'll nedd at least a "system" Folder)
/hacks Folder for Additional, flashable ZIP files
(for example you can add the flashable google
Apps ZIP in here)

Yes, should work with any CWM ROM for any Phone.
Would be great If you could Test it ;-)

Thanks and this is what i was looking at. I am fed up for removing the apps, whichever i dont want to use and add those apps which i want to use. Started testing but the screen stuck at adding ROM*****name.zip. Waiting to finish!

Hmmm, shouldn't take too long if the ZIP isn't big.
If it remains stuck, pls add "ECHO ON" after line 163 in main.cmd, so you'll see exactly what the Script is doing.

[HOWTO]How Create Custom ROM Based on Stock 2.3.6[UPDATED 06.03.2012]

Hello guys!
This is noobish tutorial "How Create Custom ROM Based on Stock 2.3.6"
To do create custom ROM you need only WinRar or other arhiver and Notepad++
Terms:
Zipalign - Optimizes the way an application is packaged. Running zipalign against your application enables Android to interact it more efficiently at run time and thus has the potential to make it and the overall system run faster(developer.android.com)
Deodex - Optimized Odex and Apk files for easy editing system files
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. You Need clear ROM
I recomend this clear ROM (Deodex, Zipalign, Delete Samsung Soft, Stock Theme) KPQ, KPU
2. Unpack ROM
Main folder is system.
- In system/app all system apps
- In system/framework interface and other system files (Framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk - system interface)
- In system/ect gps.conf(GPS Servers)
- In system/ect/init.d all tweaks (no need to put everything tweaks from other ROM's)
- In system/media folder: bootanimation(sanim.zip), audio folder(all system audio)
- In system fonts all system fonts
- Build.prop file in /system/, main file, in build.prop ROM name and other tweaks and system lines
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Updater-Script
META-INF folder:
This ROM installer script!
Open META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script file in Notepad
You need only ui_print("you text"); lines, other lines is system install.
Example:
Code:
ui_print("|------------------------------|");
ui_print("|-----Install YOU_ROM_NAME-----|");
ui_print("|---------Or other text---------|");
ui_print("|@#$%and other symbols+*=\|/^");
ui_print("|------------------------------|");
Click to expand...

How add kernel install to ROM:
-boot.img(this is kernel) need to put in ROM folder, next to system, META-INF, and other folders
Code:
In Updater-script need add this lines:
#Delete cache
delete_recursive("/data/local");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/cache");
#End
#
#Extract kernel file and write
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
#End
P.S "#" this is comments, no need this to updater-script

Ok man, tomorrow, i need sleep

i understand..... in my country its 1:20am

Hey there, @Thefrankenstain , could you help me? I am trying to make some tests.
I have modified the updater-script of KPULite, editing first lines with the name of the rom and adding some lines at the end to introduce another kernel to the rom:
Code:
delete_recursive("/data/local");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/cache");
assert(package_extract_file("customize/vurrut/boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
(is this an example of what I have to write or do I have to write exactly this?)
Then I added the normalboot.img of the kernel renamed to boot.img and deleting the stock one. I also have edited the build.prop with the other I uploaded the other day to kpu thread (with density corrected to 240) and I will start theming if it works. My question is...
The only thing I have to do is to zip it? Do I have to do anything more or just make a zip which contains META-INF, system, boot.img, etc...? Can I flash that zip in CWM?
Thank you!, great tutorial man!

For install kernel need add this:
Kernel to put in ROM folder, next to system, META-INF, and other folders
Code:
delete_recursive("/data/local");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
delete_recursive("/cache");
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
You need pack to zip META-INF, System, boot.img and other folders.
Output zip need copy to sd card and flash in CWM

So that's it? I copy in the update-script exactly those lines, I change the original boot.img with the kernel normalboot.img (renamed to boot.img), I zip all that package and flash in CWM...ok?

what is bootanimation.img ? you mean normalboot.img ?

Yes yes yes, what a fail. I was saying that, I edit right now. That would be the proceedure?

Why can be this happening?

[Tool]MIUI translateion's kitchen

Miui translation's kitchen is a new (in development) tool to automate many aspects of the translation of MIUI.
Feature:
- deodex original miui rom
- decode apk from list (Configurable from an external file) or single from terminal
- build apk from list (Configurable from an external file) or single from terminal
- add translation folder (Configurable from an external file)
- compare translation file (Configurable from an external file) [not completed now]
- sign apk and update.zip (not sure it works fine)
- fix build error (missing same packages, in development)
for now the kitchen is under development but usable for test.
source: github
for setup kitchen
Code:
. tools/kitchensetup
for prepare rom folder (extract zip and deodex the rom)
Code:
extract_deodex
for prepare rom folder (no odexed rom)
Code:
extract
for decode apk
Code:
decode
for check modified xml
Code:
test
for apply translate
Code:
translate
for fix xml files
Code:
fix
for rebuild apk
Code:
build
for sign apk and zip (it fix apk compression level for resources.arsc)
Code:
sign
this is the actualy completely function.
for now not all apk is successefull installed, I don't know what is the problem
If you have been helpful, buy me a beer
Sorry for bad eng

The tool is almost finished, the problem is that the apk (also unchanged) recompiled can not (even if signed) to be installed.
there are only a few exceptions like bugreport, FileManager and SoundRecorder
Can anyone help me? I tried apktool, 1.4.3 and 1.4.2

Thanks for your efforts, I will try to translate to french with it and report back the results

[Q] is there a limit to the boot.img size you create?

I am trying to create my own kernel with some new kernel modules. However, the kernel modules are rather large (10MB), pushing my boot.img to 18MB. When I try to install it, I get:
Code:
Flashing Kernel
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","/dev/block/mmcblk0p8")
E:Error in /sdcard/awmon/my_skyrocket2.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
However, if I don't add those modules then my kernel installs just fine.

The kernel partition is only 10MB in size.

I see... do you have any suggestions on how to package the modules with the kernel? is it possible to do this outside the boot.img but within the update ZIP with the help of updater-script ?
EDIT: yeah, it seems do-able. This kernel includes the modules outside of boot.img and has them installed via the updater-script
