Hello everyone..
In my tutorial here, I want to show newbies how to create their own flashable zip file to flash by recovery mode (CWM)...
Now installing your mods become easier and faster
Needed tools for newbies:
1) Download your desired template:
Template - for auto-perm-fix kernel support.zip
Template - for non auto-perm-fix kernel.zip
more details is down there!!
2) WinRAR or 7-zip program installed in your computer.
3) Auto-ZIP-Signer patch in case your kernel needs it
4) Cup of hot tea!!!
Which template should I use?
It depends on kernel you are using whether it supports auto permission fix or not (most of custom kernels support this feature)..
To know if you are using kernel with auto permission fix or not, boot into recovery mode and check if you have fix permissions option or not (usually under advance). If your kernel has fix permissions option, then use Template - for auto-perm-fix kernel support.zip otherwise, use Template - for non auto-perm-fix kernel.zip.
What will happen if you use wrong template?
If your kernel supports auto permission fix feature and you used Template - for non auto-perm-fix kernel.zip, nothing will go wrong (so don't worry!!) but the flashing process will take unnecessary longer time for fixing permissions!!.
If your kernel doesn't support auto permission fix feature and you used Template - for auto-perm-fix kernel support.zip, then you might need to fix permissions of the flashed mod manually or to add extra permissions line in updater-script (not advised for newbies)
How is it working?
Open the template zip file by WinRAR or 7-zip (don't extract!! Just open)

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now what you need to do is just to drag & drop your modded file into its corresponding destination inside the zip file.
Copy your finished zip file to your external SD card.
Boot into recovery mode and flash your file... Now you can treat yourself the cup of tea.. you deserve it
Extra step:
If you are using stock kernel that needs varification key from flashable zip file, then you need to use Auto-ZIP-Signer to sign your finished zip file.
First copy your finished zip file from previous step and open ZIP Auto-Signer folder (download from above).
Now paste your zip file in "put-zip-to-sign-here" folder and run the script patch.
Now go to "Finished" folder and copy "Signed.zip" into your external SD card.
Boot into recovery mode and flash your signed file
Simple and noob proof tutorial, I hope it will help you all new xda members

Hey together.
(at first: I do not want use a finished custom rom. I am happy as my Rome is now running)
I Would like to deodex my JB Stock Rom to coustomize my self with Mods and other but for almost everything i used a deodexed Rom. I tried xUltima and the Android Kitchen, v0.223 by dsixda and both doesn't work.
On the Android Kitchen, v0.223 by dsixda i can't find my TWRP Backup and i don't know how i convert it or somthig else.
On xUltima i become instantly an Error. When i delete the odex file which caused the error i become instantly a another error.
Here is a Picture from xUltima:

i have no idee how i fix this.
no one an idea?
Make a imitation ROM:
Create a dump.
Download Rhythm Manager's version of file manager.
Now go to / (self explanatory) and copy system.
It'll take a while, but copy it to sdcard.
Now copy the file onto computer. Find a ROM and copy the META_INF.
Make a empty boot.img.
Put the boot.img, system, and meta_inf into a zip folder. THis would be your ROM.
You can take it from there.

1) Yes. Any ROM is okay. Just get it from an actual ROM.
2) Step 1: unhide extension by going explorer.exe --> organize --> Folder and search options --> view --> uncheck Hide extension ... --> click apply to folders--> Apply. Now simply make a .txt file on desktop and rename the extension as img, and the file name make it boot.

Weak Intro :
Well, I find few people who're curious to change their TWRP splash screen and even the themes. Don't know how to do this weird stuff? You're at the right place! . I know few of them might be bored with staring at the same splash screen for a long time. How about trying something crazy? :silly:.
Prerequisites:
1. Knowledge of how to repack/unpack img. If you don't know how to do this, Just follow this thread by @osm0sis: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
2. A TWRP recovery image for our device which can be found here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/x3/
3. A splash screen image(format in PNG) of your choice.
4. Notepad++ for XML editing. You can get it from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.2.html
5. PATIENCE! :silly:
Procedure:
Ok now that you're happy with the prerequisites, Let's start being crazy!
I assume that you know how to use the Android Image Kitchen by @osm0sis and thereby I'll proceed without any AIK instructions.
Let's start!
1. Extract the TWRP image you wish using the AIK. To do this, Just drag the TWRP image file onto unpackimg.bat file
2. Now you'll find 2 folders.
-> ramdisk
-> spllit_img
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Leave the "split_img" folder aside.(We don't need anything to do with it) and open the "ramdisk" folder.
4. Open the "twres" folder and then right-click on the "splash.xml" file. Then choose Edit with Notepadd++ in the context menu.
5. Scroll down till you find the page XML tag.
6. Now, delete the lines as shown below.
7. Add this line shown below
8. All done! Now you need to get your PNG image of resolution 1920 x 1080(height x width) of your choice.
9. Go to this directory: ramdisk/twres/images. You'll find a file "splashlogo.png". Just Overwrite it with your PNG image and you're done!
10. Finally, you need to pack the modified stuff to make TWRP image. To do this, head onto the AIK folder and then click repackimg.bat. You'll find a a new file in the same folder called "image-new.img". This file is your modified TWRP img. Just flash it and you're good to go.
