This AIO toolkit includes 3 main MS-DOS scripts:
\\AFK//About AFK
• It's a tool with a graphical interface, to manipulate your framework-res.apk, mainly to enable On-Screen Buttons and USB Mass Storage on all Android 4 ROMs.
• It has other features too, such as resizing On-Screen Buttons, enabling/disabling CRT screenOff animation, enabling lockscreen rotation, etc...
• It has the ability to create recovery flashable zips to install your custom framework and revert changes if you want to.
How to use it
• After you have installed the toolkit launch Automated_Framework_Kit_vXX.cmd
• You must have JDK installed on your machine in order to use AFK/Workbot.
• Browse for your framework-res.apk
• Choose the options you want from the graphical menu.
• When done customizing your framework hit Finish/Compile.
• You will br prompted to create recovery flashable zips.
• Collect your goodies from #collect-your-goods-here folder as always.
• Whatever follows is up to you.
○ It is recommended to use Cleanup script when you are done, be careful! your goodies will be erased.

\\Workbot//About Workbot
• It's a time-saving script that does what AFK does in much less time because:
- It has no graphical interface.
- It does not require user input.
- It works according to pre-defined settings stored in Settings.ini under Workbot_Settings section.
How to use it
• Launch Workbot.cmd
• Check the displayed settings, if you agree on these settings hit Y to continue.
• If you don't agree on the settings hit N to edit.
• After you get through the first page, drag and drop your framework-res.apk inside the black window and hit enter.
• Watch the magic happen in less than a minute (20s~40s if you have a decent PC)
○ You can just drag and drop your framework-res.apk on top of Workbot.cmd and the bot will do the work instantly based on the stored settings.
○ It is recommended to use Cleanup script when you are done, be careful! your goodies will be erased.

\\Stylist//About Stylist
• It's a simple script with a simple graphical interface.
• Its job is to skin your On-Screen Buttons with various button styles and colors.
• It stores more than 50 different styles with various colors.
How to use it
• Launch Stylist.cmd and drag and drop your SystemUI.apk inside the black window
○ Or, just drag and drop your SystemUI.apk over Stylist.cmd
• In, the menu press Preview to have a look at each softkey style
• Switch through pages using the buttons in the bottom right corner.
• Click on the style you like and you will be prompted for confirmation.
• After you confirm your choice, the script will mod your SystemUI.apk and generate recovery flashable zips in seconds!
• Collect your goodies from #collect-your-goods-here folder as always.
○ It is recommended to use Cleanup script when you are done, be careful! your goodies will be erased.

still does not work for me
Admin rights are not needed, and will also make the script loose the files around it like your running the script from another folder.
Try editing settings.ini and change USEMOUSE=1 to USEMOUSE=0, if it still does not work let me know. I never had these problems when testing the script, just remember no shortcuts and no "run as admin"
Quick fix [hopefully]

Well here's a quick fix for you, I compiled the BATCH file into an executable so it doesn't loose its path when you run the tool as admin, just copy the exe file inside the app folder and run it as admin instead of the old batch file.
I also recommend placing the app in a short path with no spaces; Example: C:\AFK

Well to decompile APK from Android 4.2.2 I think I need a newer version of apktool.jar, I'm moving to cm10.1 soon, when I finish my exams I'll start working on it

What does it do?
=============
= It edits your framework-res.apk and Enables Navigation Bar and USB Mass Storage (Android 4.x Only)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Dear Mr.Themike
Firstly, I thank you for your good work.
'Android 4.x only' means, will it work for 4.0.3 ?
I have Dapeng A9230+, running on Custom ICS 4.0.3.
I successfully made framework flashable files through your great guide. But after flashing through recovery, nothing changes. sorry.... there is no Navigation bar.
I think, something wrong myside ?
Best regards.

I tested this tool on ICS 4.0.4 and I think it should work fine on 4.0.3, so here's a tip for you:
Choose Enable Navigation Bar in the app menu, after it's done minimize the app window and go to [dec] folder>[framework-res.apk]>[res]>[values] and look for bools.xml and open it with and XML editor or just wordpad, look for a string that looks like this one:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">true</bool>
If it's there than it's okay and everything is good
Now go again to the app menu and set the NavBar dpi to whatever you like ( 0 disables NavBar )
then go again to [dec]>[framework-res.apk]>[res]>[values] and look for dimens.xml and open it and check if the dimensions you set are right.
After that compile the apk and flash it, If all the previous work is done properly and no errors but still the NavBar doesn't exist then it's beyond my capability to analyse Wish u luck

Thanks for reporting this problem. I'll work on it ASAP, meanwhile try using create_zip script, open it and drag the apk inside the Window and hit enter, a restore zip will not be created but it might work for you
++edit ++
I forgot to ask you, after getting the error can you find zip files inside the goodies folder? If yes what do they contain? Thanks

Dear Mr.Themike,
Thanks for your Reply.
Bools.xml and dimens.xml, everything is perfect as you told. But after decompiling and flashing, there is no navigation bar. I have one doubt. What size we have to give for nav bar ?.(wvga screen).
If I give 37, it takes 37 for both 'height and width'.
Then, If my Rom is in 190 lcd density, the given size will work ? Or I have to be in system standard lcd density (240) for all nav bar sizes ?
Ok. Anyway, for the present Ics Rom, I have no success.... maybe Rom framework not compatible.
I have to try Other Ics and Lewa Roms.(for miui, I have working framework, which has nav bar).
Best Regards.

This script has 2 main uses:
1. Modify an update.zip
2. Create an update.zip
For #1 - You just extract the contents of an update.zip into the placehere folder, modify its contents, and run the script stating to create an update.zip
For #2 - So far these are the options i have in there for create the update-script
1. Copy directories
2. Copy files
3. Create Symlinks
4. Delete file
5. Delete directory
6. Flash boot image
7. Set permissions for file
8. Set permissions for directory
New Features in 2.0 :
- Set java heap size / compression level for zip
- New drag/drop mode.
>>> - If you drag a folder onto the script's icon (as in Script.bat) it will compress the contents of the folder into a zip and sign it.
>>> - If u drag a zip onto the script's icon (as in Script.bat) it will sign the zip for you.
So this script guides u as u select each option, and adds the appropriate command to the update-script file. Then u exit that sub-menu and create update.zip
Heres a video for a better explanation:
This script is a result of me constantly wanting to modify roms before i flash them & users who are unaware/lost as to creating/modifying update.zips.

Awesome Gotta try it out.
I tried using this to just push a single app into /system/app just to see if it would work, but when I try to flash from recovery I get E:Syntax error in update script
when I open my update script it reads thus:
Code:
package_extract_file("LearnPython_1.1.1.apk", "/system/app/Python.apk")
Do you know what the issue might be?

Hmm thats wierd. Can u try placing the file inside a folder withing the placehere folder? N then try it. Tell me if tht works, in meantime ill try a example, perhaps the new changes i made broke something
K i figured it out, i forgot to place a ; after the line. Try placing it and then flashing. Ill fix it.
update-script is now
Code:
package_extract_file("LearnPython_1.1.1.apk", "/system/app/Python.apk");
but I still get a syntax error
Edit: I had also tried putting it in a placeholder file, but that didn't help either, even with the added semicolon
Hmm so something seems wrong with my package_extract_file syntax
Even though ive compared it to online update-script samples. Regardless, for now use the copy directories option instead.

Created a folder app inside placehere folder
placed my apk inside it
Ran the script, chose option 1
Then chose option 1
Then typed DATA
Then typed app
Then typed app
Then typed 9
Then typed 2
Then flashed the update.zip
Letter Casing matters, if it says SYSTEM or DATA , do that dont do data or system.
Btw, first clear out using the script. So when u run it. type y to clear ur previous work.

K i uploaded a fixed one. No file option for now just directory. And added a push to sdcard option. I think wht u were doing was putting it inside a folder and still using the file option.
Yay, it works now. Thank you for creating this and for helping me.

Well the reason i do it on something like mediafire is cuz its not xda dependant and that its one of the few sites with no waiting time for downloads. Plus i get to monitor # of downloads, in order to know if something is in demand, hence ill work on improving that.

It works just fine for me too. I just combined Chromatic3.7 rom with httclay's theme by changing the framework.apk and the services.jar files. I also deleted some system apps as well as added a couple of my own. I also put my own bootanimation.zip on there and it works fine.
My first successfull update.zip
Ok so I have messed around with this a lot and I have successfully created a update.zip rom that runs stable. I decided to go with the Chromatic 3.7 rom based off of cm-5.0.8-DS Stable. Feel free to download this and give me your feedback. I take no credit for this rom what so ever. All of the credit goes to Chromersmith and the other devs that made this, not me! This rom is only 1mb larger than the original, about 59mb. What this rom includes:
-reverse nexus style bootanimation (added by me)
-Stock ADWLauncher.apk from cm-5.0.8-DS Stable (has the nexus style launcher, but isn't all themed up. It runs smoother because it isn't as much of a system hog. Added by me)
-apps: Mytouch Music (came with rom not added), 3D Gallery (removed Gallery for same reason), cachecleaner (great for freeing up internal memory), Wireless Tether v2.0.2 for eclair, and of course all the regular stock system apps like YouTube, etc.
And of course you can modify this and re-post your own results as well the same way I did. Isn't that the whole point of this thread?
IMPORTANT! Make sure you read the Chromatic 3.7 thread to get all of the requirements and settings correct after flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679135
I take no responsibility for anyone that breaks their phone because they don't know what their doing!
And of course enjoy:

I just finished my second update.zip
Ok so I put a lot more work into this one than I did the first one. This is based off of the CM-5.0.8-DS Stable rom+gapps. I got sick of having to flash the gapps seperatly after flashing the rom, so I just added them in.
-Added the Multitasking OC Kernel and a lot of other things like a black status bar mod, and a custom ADWLauncher icon.

}
-Added other icons to stock apps like music and a few others that I can't remember right now lol.
-Removed the stock Cyanogenmod boot animation and replaced it with the reverse nexus style one (takes up less memory and boots faster, really fast!). Once you get it flashed and get everything set up, reboot your phone and watch how fast it boots up. Mine boots in about a 30 seconds once the boot animation comes on.
Apps included:
-3DGallery (Default Gallery, removed Gallery to save on internal space)
-CacheCleaner (Good system cache cleaner to free up that internal memory!)
-New Phone.apk added from Chromatic3.7 rom (looks very nice btw)
-Wireless Tether v2.0.2 for Eclair roms.
Requirements:
-Danger SPL or Engineering SPL:
If you do not have these or know what they are then do not flash!
-I highly recommend that you have a swap partition of at least 32mb:
If you want this rom to run smoothly, or enable compcache under spare parts app.
Instructions:
-Do Nandroid backup!!!
-I recommend a wipe if your coming from anything other than cm5.0.8-DS based rom, otherwise, just flash it, and then run fix permissions!
-Download and flash as normal:
It will say welcome to cyanogenmod 5.0.8 DS! Do not be alarmed, this is not a stock version of his rom! I did not want to take the credit away from Cyanogenmod and his team for this rom, since I am using so much of it!
-SetCpu:
Install SetCpu. Run app and select auto detect speeds. The kernel on this rom will allow you to overclock way faster than you should. I can run this stably at 614MHz max, and 245MHz min on ondemand. If you go more than this, your phone will probably lock up, and you will have to pull the battery out just to reboot.
-SpareParts:
After Flashing you must change the clock and date color under spare parts found in the settings menu. I changed everything to white because it's a black status bar, but change to whatever color you wish. Also change the Carrier PLMN label color, and the Carrier SPN label color. The only color I change under the notification settings is the Notifications ticker color. Set window animations and transition animations to fast! Check fancy input animations and launcher in memory.
-ADW settings:
Under sreen preferences set Desktop scrolling speed to 0, it's silly fast! Set Desktop overshoot to 50. Select orientation sensor and auto stretch.
Under UI settings check Hide AllApps Bg and Hide AB Bg, and this will make your launcher look much better. Uncheck scrollable widgets unless you use them. Select whatever else you want, I like to select Hide icon labels and closing dockbar as well. The only one I don't check is the tint ab.
Run Firerats Patch:
Download and run Firerats Patch. This will patch things like facebook sync, enable swap partition, and a lot of other things. Dowload and place the fr-patch133.txt file on the root of your sd card. Go to terminal emulator and type "su" and press enter. Type "sh /sdcard/fr-patch133.txt" and press enter. This will bring up a list of commands for the script, along with an example of how the script works. Everything should install correctly unless your don't have a swap partition on your sdcard then it will not install swap. Everything else should install just fine. Once it finishes type "reboot" and your all done! It will take a long time to boot as it is finishing up all of the installations. Be patient and do not interrupt it by rebooting or powering off your phone!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=348484&d=1277328643
Make sure swap or compache is working in terminal emulator. Type "su" and press enter. Type "free" and enter.
I have put a lot of work into this, so that I can use this as a daily driver rom, until a stable froyo release comes out. This rom is really fast once you get it set up correctly. I mean let's face it, we have no idea how long it will take for froyo 2.2 to be realeased. So until then, let's keep on modding!

A new file will be created (***.po)
Open that file with PoEdit and translate the right-column
When finished, save it and rename ***.po to Studio.po and put it in StudioAndroid/lang/yourlang_YOURLANG/LC_MESSAGES
afterwards, compile it:
msgfmt Studio.po -o yourlang_YOURLANG/LC_MESSAGES/Studio.mo

and translate the new strings in PoEdit
The file I need is yourlang_YOURLANG/LC_MESSAGES/Studio.mo, but it's handy for you and me if you also include yourlang_YOURLANG/LC_MESSAGES/Studio.po
WINDOWS
Open lang/LanguageFiles/en_US.po in a text editor
msgid indicates the original string
msgstr indicates the string you need to translate.
So translate the msgstr strings.
Afterwards, send me en_US.po renamed to yourlanguage_YOURCOUNTRY.po

That would be possible indeed.
I think I am going to investigate a bit in Cygwin to make it compatible.
When using VirtualBox, use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64-bit preffered!)

HELP
What does your script do?
Well, look at the screenshot! And then look at the explanation below.
Update
Check ONLINE for updates!
Utils
Install Utilities
You are now able to install ADB, APKTOOL, AAPT, 7z, (bak)smali and a lot more seperately or together. This makes it easier for you to use them!
Resize pictures
Seems clear enough. It resizes pictures for you, theme conversion is easy!
Now also includes a small manual..
Batch Theme
This places a color layer over an image.
You can theme 1000 images in 4.31 seconds (I timed it).
Please note that if the current color is red and you want purple, you are not gonna add purple to it, but blue!
CopieFrom
It copies images that are in Directory A FROM Directory B.
Example: A contains 1 2 3 4 5, B contains 2 3 5 6 7 9 8
2 3 and 5 get copied over. Handy for theme porting!
Optimize Images
After selecting Extract APK, you can optimize images so they look better.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Develop
Install SDK
Installs the Android Software Development Kit.
You can run Virtual Machines with Android with it, and create APPS.
Install JDK
Installs the Java Development Kit.
You can develop in java and for Android with it.
Prepare Building
A lot of things should be installed before you can build your ROM from source.
This option does that for you, you don't have to do anything yourself again
Build from Source!
You can build a ROM from online sources with it! ALl you need is in it, but for any help you can always PM me!
Build Kernel
BETA!
You can sync the kernel sources with it. THAT'S IT FOR NOW!
Switch BUILD-Mode
Unfortunately, every device has its own sources to build a ROM or Kernel with.
I made this tool to be able to switch from devices
If your device is not (yet) included, then use option "Include".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
APK
Compile APK
The way Android reads the files inside an APK is not the way we do.
Compiling transforms our files into Android files. That's the only way I can explain...
Decompile APK
Undo compile, so we can edit code.
Extract APK
Leave everything intact, but extract. You will not be able to edit anything other then images!
Sign
Every APK needs a signature to verify the Permissions and files in the APK.
This tool does that for you
You can now also choose the Key
Install APK
Install it on your device via USB without a popup.
Zipalign
Aligns the APK. That makes it faster
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Advanced
Baksmali
This allows you to "decompile" the classes.dex file in the APK so you can edit the code of your APK!
Smali
After you edited code, you need to "compile" again. Using this!
De-Odex
WIth system APKs, the smali files are not inside the APK, but outside. Inside an ODEX file.
De-odex includes the files inside the APK, so that it it needs less space
Warning: ODEX apps can be imported in dalvik straight.
DE-ODEXED apps don't. So De-Odexed is a bit slower...

The script does it for you.
Further explanation: building from source option actually just syncs the source. I think I even forgot to sync the device and vendor too, I'll check on it.
complete .zip file uploaded with AC and ACI translated. There should be some mistakes but i'll correct them when there will be a new release

Thanks for that
I had an idea: could you add an option in the menu to add manualy a source location ?
When sources are downloaded, where can we found them to edit them ?
And will this script be only for optimus one or for other devices ?

1 there is, use option 1 in the Build menu (Other)
EDIT: whoops, there isn't... I think I'll change to the home directory.
2 you can find them in your Android Central folder /WORKING_DIR_x
x is the number of the option you chose to fetch it.
3 It already is for other devices, use the Other option
Greets!
Updated
###v0.12
[^] Implemented BuildKernel
[^] French translation by KeitG - THANKS!
[^] Some small code improvements. Visual changes to the MAIN MENU
[^] Added switches and commands. example: "./AC [menu option]" to go to that option DIRECTLY. "./AC -h" to go to the HELP page
[^] SubDirs now supported in Resize (example: drawable-hdpi gets copied over)
[^] BetaInstaller inside ACI script
[^] Every output will now be visible inside LOG!

Download the kitchen from above. Then, extract the kitchen's .zip file to a folder under your home account. Rename the dsixda-android-kitchen-*** folder to just "kitchen". In Cygwin, this folder would depend on what was set for your Cygwin install directory, e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen
NOTE!! If your user folder contains spaces (e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John Smith\kitchen), then the kitchen will not function properly. Instead, copy it under C:\cygwin\home\kitchen.
Now your ready to run the kitchen type:
those who have their kitchen like this C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen use these commands given below.
cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)

congratulations!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Two: Setting up a working folder
THERE ARE TOW METHODS FOR THIS.
1. WHEN YOU HAVE BASE ROM AVAILABLE.
2. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE BASE ROM.
FIRST METHOD -
First our folder structure should look like this:
Code:
cygwin folder/home/your user name/kitchen
Inside the kitchen it should look like this:
Now we need a rom to work on, for GALAXY ACE PLUS[s7500] users i will recommend this rom by blackburner but you can use any rom.
Just Place the original rom zip in the original_update folder inside the kitchen.
run the cygwin.exe again type:
Code:
cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)
now enter option 1, enter again. You should see your rom listed, choose and enter
you will be asked about changing the working folders name, at this point it makes no difference so just continue.
congratulations you have a working folder!!!
SECOND METHOD - this method is by neroyoung
FIRST MAKE A WORKING FOLDER IN CYGWIN FOLDER
IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS
cygwin folder/home/your user name/kitchen/WORKING_(your rom name)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOTE: FOR THIS MEETHOD WE NEED 3 FILES AND FOLDERS TO BE PLACED IN WORKING FOLDER.
1. META-INF FOLDER - GET THIS FROM DOWNLOAD FILES LIST IN FIRST POST
2. SYSTEM FOLDER - TUTORIAL BELOW
3. BOOT.IMG - TUTORIAL BELOW
2. getting system folder
(NOTE - YOU MUST BE ROOTED FOR THIS MEDHOD)
This is universal method and can be done easily using terminal emulator.
For this simply download Terminal Emulator from Android Market.
we need freshly flashed device here. OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE LOT OF JUNK FILES.
Open it and type:
su
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar
This will take some time to finish so be patient.
After it's done you should have a tar file in your /sdcard named system.tar
You can extract it using Winrar or 7zip software. But yes this will have huge size , as it has other useless folders so you will have to delete them. After extracting this system.tar file you will get following folders (Similar one)
/etc
/fonts
/framework
/lib
/lost-found
/media
/sd
/semc
/usr
/xbin
build.prop
And some other files and folders like ""autorooted,kernel files" etc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now simply delete the folders marked in red color and its done.Don't worry if you don't have folders with red colors above,we don't need them.
And the final files that we will have in our system folders will be
/app
/bin
/etc
/fonts
/framework
/lib
/media
/semc
/usr
/xbin
build.prop
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it dont have semc folder no need to worry.
NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO GET THIS SYSTEM FOLDER BY USING ANY ROOT BROWSER. JUST FIND THIS FOLDER AND COPY/EXTRACT TO SDCARD
NOW COPY THIS system FOLDER TO WORKING FOLDER
3. getting boot.img
Here we have 2 options
1. stock boot.img from stock rom - simple kernel which we get in brand new mobile.
2. custom boot.img from custom kernel - kernel which are modified for overclock or other features
1. getting stock boot.img from stock rom.
extract your stock rom with winrar or 7zip. you will see boot.img there. copy it to working folder
2. getting custom boot.img from custom kernel.
download any custom kernel which is only for your device. [galaxy ace plus [s7500] users get from here or here]
extract it with winrar or 7zip and copy boot.img to working folder
NOTE: many of new devices have kernel.bin and other files instead of boot.img so skip this part if your device don't have it...

Step Three :change/modify/update rom
YOU CAN MODIFY YOUR ROM IN TWO STEPS:
MODIFY USING ANDROID KITCHEN - for basic modification.
MODIFY MANUALLY. - for advanced modification.
1. MODIFYING USING ANDROID KITCHEN
watch this amazing tutorial by neroyoung on how to editing rom with kitchen
NOTE: DON'T FORGET TO DEODEX YOUR ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. MODIFYING MANUALLY.
FOR ALL ANDROID PHONES (ESPECIALLY FOR GINGERBREAD ROMS) USE THIS GUIDE FOR COOL MODS. like center clock,CRT animation, ics and jelly bean style mods etc... ANOTHER GUIDE BY ME
Adding/removing applications
1. Go to the working folder where you extracted your rom, inside you will find:
OR
2. Then go to "system/app" inside this folder you will find all the rom applications(apks) you may also find some in the data folder if your rom has this folder.
3. Copy, replace, and change any app(apk) be carefull if you dont know what the apk is do not delete!!
LIST OF APPS YOU CAN DELETE - HERE OR HERE
If you can not find some apps in this guide then try opening all those app in your phone and see app name and icon or move those apps from system/app to sdcard and see what is not working...
Adding new boot animation
android kitchen doesn't works for this in Samsung phones. So we need a different method.
1) Download and extract the bootanimation and samsungani file from Custom Booting.zip attached in first post.
2) Put them in the /system/bin folder and replace the existing files there
3) Now download any boot animation, and rename the bootanimation to “sanim.zip”.
4) Now, navigate to /system/media and replace the “ODEanim” with “sanim.zip”
You are done with the bootanimation change
customizing the theme
1. replace stock launcher with launchers like nova launcher
2. theming using uot kitchen (fonts, status bar, batery and other icons etc

Edit the gps script for your country/location
1. In the workingfolder/system/etc/ you will find a file named gps.conf, you can
edit this file with notepad++ or even word.
2. using the right gps script in this file can speed up gps lock, you can
find some from angeldeath, download extract and replace the gps.conf.
Adding ringtones :
Take your ringtone file...it should be in .ogg format..If not then convert it to .ogg..
Locate to the folder system>media>audio>ringtones>
Copy and paste your .ogg files here in ringtones folder..
You can also change notifications, alarm and UI tones like this..
Changing the Fonts :
Take your desired font.ttf file and rename it as DroidSans.ttf..
Locate to the folder system>fonts>
Now, replace the file DroidSans.ttf with your desired DoridSans.ttf...
To change the lock screen clock font...replace the Clocktopia.ttf with your desired one..(rename first)..
build.prop tweaks!!
check this or this or this post for build.prop
NOTE: EDIT BUILD.PROP WITH NOTEPAD++. SIMPLE NOTEPAD WILL CORRUPT THE FILE.
adding mods and scripts...
download mods and scripts from links below and copy past all files in same folder as your rom... like for init.d scripts add them to system/etc/init.d/here and all permissions in updater script to your updater script...(dont forget to give them credit for it...)

2. Specific application/action launchers:
Code:
HOME #Launches "Home"
MENU #Launches "Menu"
BACK #Takes you back to the last activity
SEARCH #Launches "Universal Search"
CALL #Launches the "Phone" activity and corresponding .apk or initiates a call
ENDCALL #Ends a call
CAMERA #Launches "Camera" activity and corresponding .apk
FOCUS #Initiates Auto-Focus while using the Camera
VOLUME_UP #Self explanatory
VOLUME_DOWN #Self explanatory
3. And attributes saying if it should wake the phone at button push to complete the action, or if it should just complete the action without waking the screen.
Code:
WAKE #Completes the action without waking the screen
WAKE_DROPPED #Wakes the phone to complete the action
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. NOW WE WILL EDIT SECOND AND/OR THIRD ROW
Erase the center row value for any key to completely disable it. To reassign the key, replace the center row value with another one from the same row. Change the right row value to either "WAKE" or blank to enable the wake function. Do not modify the left row.
NOTE: don't edit left row i.e. first row which contains specific key identity number.
FOR EXAMPLE I DO THESE CHANGES
DEFAULT VALUES ---
Code:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
CHANGED VALUES ---
Code:
key 115 CAMERA WAKE
key 114 FOCUS WAKE
NOW VOLUME UP KEY WILL WORK AS CAMERA KEY AND VOLUME DOWN KEY WILL WORK AS FOCUS KEY....

FOR ADVANCE ROM DEVELOPMENT GUIDES (like porting rom) SEE THIS COLLECTION BY F3niX
Step Four: repackage the rom
AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ALL CHANGE/MODIFICATION YOU WANTED OPEN CYGWIN AGAIN AND TYPE
cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now convert update script to updater script(in option 23)
now lets edit updater script(optional)
Thanks to user langthang for a great updater-script guide.
Download it HERE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the updater-script basically tells CWM what steps to take during the installation(flashing rom).
If you don't have any experience please don't edit anything other than what is in this simple tutorial.
TO EDIT UPDATER SCRIPT -
1.Go to META-INF/com/google/android
2.Open the updater-scrip file with Notepad++
3.Any text that would appear during the CWM install should be in this format :
Code:
ui_print("Put your text in HERE");
Add your text start at top and save,
then replace with new updater-scrip
IF YOU GET ANY ERROR YOU CAN COMPARE YOUR UPDATER SCRIPT WITH MINE (attached in 1st post)
NOTE: DO NOT COPY WHOLE UPDATER SCRIPT JUST EDIT PART WHERE YOU GET ANY ERROR...
most common errors will be in mount, remount part in starting and end and boot.img installing part... so replace only those lines....
AND AT LAST
[*]Now that you have made some changes it's time to pack the rom and test!!
Run the cygwin and type
cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
enter option 99 - "biuld rom from working folder"
Choose your build option and few more enters
I recommend that you go with all default options until you get more experience with the kitchen.
When rom is packed and signed it will ask to change rom zip name (type name of your rom)
When its all done you will find a folder inside "cygwin/home/yousername/kitchen" called output_zip
Inside the folder is your new rom ready to be flashed and tested!!!
IF YOU WANT THAN YOU CAN MAKE CWM FLASH ABLE ZIP'S MANUALLY USE THIS TOOL BY I.AM.H3RO
congratulations you have build your own rom
TROUBLESHOOTING (by hell_lock)
If you are facing java related problem with cygwin than refer to this post. and Google search
If you get problems in installing a rom then compare your updater-script in META-INF folder with one attached in first post.
If you have a rom without kernel then remove these lines:
Code:
assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));
NOTE: mmcblk0p8 can be different with different devices... this works fine with galaxy ace plus...
If there is a package error then extract the files of the rom and repack them using any compression software.
If rom installed correctly but stuck onto logo screen?? Then remove try removing kernel and flashing rom again.
If rom installed correctly but got onto bootloop then there could be many possibilities which could lead to this. If you want accurate cause of it then do a logcat.
If there are some apk's which are not working then check if you correctly modded them.
For status errors like status error 0, status error 6, status error 7 see this guide by Tha TechnoCrat and for rest go here and type your error.
NOTE: Most of the problems occur because of updater-script problems so before trying any of the troubleshooting try the first tip.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS FEEL FREE TO POST HERE OR PERSONAL MESSAGE ME.

Had a quick read through, seems fairly easy to get started, so thanks for that!
What I want to achieve is to be able to take an existing ROM, and customise it for my organisation. I want to be able to remove the initial set up that you get when you flash a new ROM, e.g. name, Google account etc. Do you know how I would achieve this, or the files I would need to edit?
I also want to remove some APKs and preload some APKs, I think I know how to do this its just a case of replacing them in the system folder?
Also I want to preload some Wifi settings on so set it to know our SSID and PSK, is this something which is possible?
Thanks for your help!

1st for rom you will use as base, get permission of its developers before doing it...
2nd the setup wizard you are talking about(i guess where we have to touch android) is by app in system/app named SetupWizard.apk but i think you should not delete it. it also controls few other things.
3rd replace/delete app you know about...(system/app)
4th i don't know much about preloaded settings... all i know is you will need to edit smali files of apk....
Hi
I've been playing around with this, I've extracted the ROM to a working folder and made a few changes, e.g adding and removing APKs. Then I've repackaged the ROM, but when I copy the .zip onto my SD card and try flashing it, I get an error:
Install /sdcard
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying Update package
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I can't install CWM on this device so its just using the Android System Recovery 3e
Is there something else I have to do to get it flashable?
hiii
okay.. so first get cwm recovery as you say you dont have cwm... then while making a zip with android kitchen make sure when it ziplangs all apks then it signs your rom zip... make sure you press enter or press y and then enter...
while flashing rom with cwm you get this error again then in 'ïnstall zip from sdcard' select 'toggle signature verification' then try again if still no luck rply back....
and it seams like you used this guide and you found it helpful i guess and you dint even pressed a thanks button... i don't know why you guys enjoy all stuff and don't even press thanks button.. i am not asking you for money... it wont cost you anything...

Hi
Thanks for this, I've got it sorted now.
I can't install CWM as its not compatible with my device, but it was just that the zip needed signing for my device. I found info on another forum to sign it properly, and its flashing fine now.
Thanks for your help.

Known issues, Bugs
There would be many bugs, this is alpha version. But the basic functions are tested and useful.
To name few -
SMS and contacts data backup may not work fully.
Data restore across android version (like ICS to JB) may not work
Etc...
The Mechanism of ADB Commands
Internally, the tool uses all ADB commands. These commands are not hard-coded in the source files but externalized to a XML file.
Open SuviTool\resources\ADBCommands-config.xml to see the details.
A normal ADB command is defined as
Code:
<command type="adb">
<id>COPY_TO_DISK</id>
<args>
<arg name="device-path"/>
<arg name="disk-path"/>
</args>
<expected-result type="not-starts-with">remote object</expected-result>
<exec-lines>
<line>pull</line>
<line>"${device-path}"</line>
<line>"${disk-path}"</line>
</exec-lines>
</command>
This command will take 2 arguments and will run as adb.exe pull "src.path" "dest.path"
A ADB shell command is defined as
Code:
<command type="shell">
<id>GET_PROPS</id>
<expected-result type="not-empty"/>
<exec-lines>
<line>getprop</line>
</exec-lines>
</command>
This command will not take any arguments and will run as adb.exe shell getprop
A command sometimes requires su permissions. Like this -
Code:
<command type="shell" force-su="true">
<id>ENABLE_PKG</id>
<args>
<arg name="pkg"/>
</args>
<expected-result type="ends-with">new state: enabled</expected-result>
<exec-lines>
<line>pm enable ${pkg}</line>
</exec-lines>
</command>
This command will take 1 argument of the package and un-freeze the application.
Further more, the shell commands will be sequenced - means they can be executed in sequence.
Code:
<command type="shell-sequence" force-su="true">
<id>CHMOD_RWRR</id>
<expected-result type="not-empty"/>
<args>
<arg name="file"/>
</args>
<seq-command id="CHMOD">
<command-arg>644</command-arg>
<command-arg>${file}</command-arg>
</seq-command>
</command>
This command will change the permission of a file to 644 (rwrr) by internally executing CHMOD command (which is defined as shell command in the same XML file)
Cool!!!!

Customizations
Add build.prop tweaks
You can add you own build.prop tweak which will reflect on the UI build.properties editor tab. You can use it in your development.
Open SuviTool\resources\Build.prop_tweaks.xml file and follow the procedure
Code:
<tweak category="__This will be the tab name on the editor__"
description="__This will be property header (name)__"
show-props="true/false __This will show/hide the actual property text form UI__">
<property id="your.build.prop1"
type="string (if text values), toggle (if ON/OFF type)"
defaule-value="__default value__"
on-value="__true/1/on or whatever for toggle__" off-value="__false/0/off or whatever for toggle__"/>
<property Repeat the property tags/>
</tweak>
For example, to add the Bravia engine tweak under the 'Addon Packs' category
Code:
<tweak category="[COLOR="Red"]Addon pacs[/COLOR]" description="[COLOR="red"]Bravia engine[/COLOR]" show-props="disabled">
<property id="ro.service.swiqi2.supported" type="toggle" defaule-value="true"/>
<property id="persist.service.swiqi2.enable" type="toggle" defaule-value="1"/>
</tweak>
It will be shown as

Just finished creating OP, yet got 6 downloads....Expecting a review soon.
will try.. and review soon.. thank you sir..
Ohhhh Finally You posted the Tool
@bsuhas
Sir,
Finally you posted the tool. Every time while viewing your signature I was wondering that where have you posted the tool that I am not able to get. So this was the project you were working on Sir. Or there is some more surprises for us.
Just Downloading it and will review it in few minutes, though for full review we need at least two days time.
BTW It seems to be great like SUVI-Heart. Let me find out more from it.
Thanks for this awesome work. Not in a good position or I will surely prefer for donating you.

Initial Reviews
@bsuhas
Sir,
I must say its a hard work of yours -- SUVI Universal Android Tools
Truly you are genius of Java Sir. First Thing to say, seriously everyone will love using it. But Sir, you are kicking the apps like ROM Manager, Rom Toolbox and other root apps doing same and killing mobiles spaces.
The UI is wonderful. Was thinking, that if you could do something to Dsixda's Android Kitchen's UI also. Personally felt.
The works and intial ornaments for build.prop tweaks are good for a noob like me also. Through that I managed proximity sensor of the 4.2 ROM and its working. Then rebooted through the tool. Everything I found to be great and after all its a SUVI-Heart Tool. Got something I will never skip using till the time I will be in this Android.
Once again I will like to thank you for the awesome work. Just great to have it and feeling like a dev after using the build.prop tweaks from that.
Bug :-
I got this while starting the program every time but it works cool and no effect on tool for this error.
"The program can't start because MSVr100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I got this while starting the program every time but it works cool and no effect on tool for this error.
"The program can't start because MSVr100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

You realise that this app is a GUI for ApkTool and other command line apps right?
Are you using Aapt2 in the settings?
The error in your screenshot shows it is an error with ApkTool and not ApkToolkit and there are plenty of topics relating to this ApkTool error, maybe search next time before insulting someone who is providing a free app
but what a sloppy init release

If you wanted help then this is the wrong way to go about it. I suggest you delete ApkToolkit and use something else

I'm enjoying Apk Tool Kit, but it would be great if you could add a feature to install APKs using ADB. Currently, the only way to install APKs while using scrcpy is to use Apk Easy Tool. However, Apk Easy Tool kills the ADB server scrcpy spawns, which closes the mirrored window on the computer. If you could add a way to install APKs using ADB directly in Apk Tool Kit, that would be a great improvement. Thanks for your consideration!

It's hard to say for sure because a lot has changed in Android 12, especially access permissions
For example if app uses data folder then android 12 will not access it due to new access permissions
Does it install ok?
Do you get any error messages?
There are a few things you can try...
Disable google play protect
To disable Google Play Protect. Open "Play Store" application -> tap on Menu button -> select "Play Protect" option -> Disable the options "Scan device for security threats"
Some permissions like overlay permissions cause problems with android 12, you can try removing permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml and then trying again
Check your manifest for the mainactivity and check if you have
android:exported="false"> and if you have then set to true not false
make sure you have no duplicates in your manifest such as a duplicate mainactivity
you can also try signing with different signing versions in APK Toolkit settings
you can check your android logs via adb logcat
I don't use android 12 so have no way of testing sorry, please try the above and try and narrow down the problem

Hi guys, I'm trying to modify a system apk on my head Unit (PX5). Specifically HCT4Music.apk. I just want to modify the colours of the screen, so that it fits the inside lighting of my car. I have no problem with the modifications. But I can't get it installed by the signature. How can I keep the same signature of the original apk.
I have also tried to copy the modified apk to /system/app and the result is that it works but it does not allow me to access the music files because it denies me access to the file system.
Do you have any solution?. Thanks

Only if you have a rooted device, you can use original sig in apk with disable signature with magisk / xposed framework
If no rooted device then you can try one of the signature killers which hook / replace new sig with original sig

Thank you very much 0xd00d. I have installed the magisk module and installed the system apk (music apk). But android 10 denies me access to storage devices.
Any more help?
thank you
By the way. excellent application
Looks like a great piece of kit , just wish I knew how to use it to to moddify a app, and re-sign it well done.
Nice tool, tried to decompile the apk and make change on smali file. Hit the compile button and generate the APK. But it looks like no changes which I had made with the new APK in `2 - Compiled` directory
If it compiled without error then your new changes should be in there
Are you editing the right smali file?
If you are editing libs then make sure you are editing the correct one for the architecture you are installing / testing the APK ( armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a )
