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.

Retry, cuz i just did it and it works fine.
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.

Ok, well I've tried both firefox and IE and they both do the same thing. Can you post a mirror because I've never had any problems with mediafire downloads before? I even logged into mediafire and it still gives me this error:

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.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
-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!
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you break you phone because you did not read the requirements or follow the instructions correctly!

if we have a lot of files, do we have to write them manually into cmd one by one?
This is a program my friend and me created to improve our programming skill
and to make decompiling dex files a breeze.
How to use?
1) Start DexManager.exe
2) Place classes.dex in same folder as program and hit decompile
3) Edit files in the new folder "out"
4) Hit recompile, after recompile is complete it will be in the root directory, named "classes.dex".
Done!

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)

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...)

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...

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....
NOTE: all words should be in BOLD letters i.e. capital letters...

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.

I checked your script, doesnt do anything to the libs, maybe u can improve on your script by adding or removing un-needed libraries also.
thanks.

Hi nishbul.
I have think about this too .
But ,if I remove the lib also ,user will hard to restore the apps.
And ,mainly ,this script is to stop that auto-load apps .
Maybe I will add delete libraries too if I let literom creator gen. restore script .
Anyway ,thanks for comment :laugh:
Regards,
Great tool! But would it possible to have an option to load the ROM into the tool and select list of bloatware you want to remove and export the script?

Hi Crushader,
It's easy to generate file list from ROM file.
But it's not easy to let literom creator think about which is bloatware.
Hmm.. maybe I will add import function then.Seem useful

I doubt if I should add function that read default db from internet.
So we can switch db ,like n7000-> n7100 more easy.
Or simple create a txt file to store db ,so can import / export.from txt ?
Or ...both of them ? lol
Because this script should work on ALL android system 4.0+ (2.3 too ,but need to modify script-begin)
Maybe there is Moto db ,HTC db and etc.. later

New version of DBEdit aviliable here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1435054&d=1351348939
Simple unzip ,place new file to folder Lite-ROM Creator
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this main screen is simply enough to use .
If you cannot understand what it do .Please skip this post
This version of DBEdit ,added a new function Manage DB
Now you can :
Backup your DB List
Import List
Restore to default list
Clear Database
and ,create your own list
---------------------------------------------
Backup : After you click this button ,current database with backup to a textfile with timestamp ,then open the directory location .You can feel free to change the file name you want.
Import : Read a text file ,all NEW entry will add into database .Old db will remain unchange
Restore : Read a text file ,old db will be delete ! And save all item aviliable inside text file . You can use this to switch between phones ,like from N7000 -> N7100 ,and vice versa .
Clear : All db will delete !
---------------------------------------------
Follow is test function ,read a list of apk and generate a new db.
it should work fine on EVERY Android Phones with ICS .
(Note : For GB rom ,you will need to modify file [script-begin] ,line4 ,then it will work fine .Message me if you need it)
First ,you must have a system dump (or something like that)
Method 1 ,Get from your phone : Great tutor here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7204732&postcount=1
Method 2 ,download system dump files from XDA or somewhere else .I think you can download the system dump file before you get your new phone .
Method 3 ,download a CWM flashable ROM
After that ,
open the zip (RAR maybe) file
Inside the file ,there is a folder [system] ,open it
Inside [system] ,open folder[app]
Copy all files ,to folder [Place_System_App_Here] which is aviliable @ Lite-ROM creator folder
You can go back to Lite-ROM Creator now
Now ,click button Clear (depends)
click Generate App List in Lite-ROM Creator.
You will get a list like this .
Then start to create your own db.
If you want to know if the apk safe to remove . You can double click grid item ,
A search link to XDA will be opened with your stock browser .
If you created a new db .Please tell me so I can put it into db_list

Hello!
I want to introduce you my new project- Android autoporting!
This project will help you port Android and will help developers build it from ready sources.
You can download it in the attach.
When you open it you should choose from 3 different modes:
EASY-will help you port Android if you don't have DEVICE folder for your device
HARD- if you have device-specific folders and want just build it
HARDCORE - if you want to do something in empty folder
INSTRUCTION
EASY
1 window
Enter device name and manufacture(just english letters, no digits,spaces,etc) and chhose Android version
2 window
Choose architecture(if you dont know which type of armv6 do you need- choos armv6-j for armv7 - armv7-a)
Screen size and screen orientation
3 window
It is not ready.Just click next
4 window
Click send and wait for number
HARD
1)Create config.tar(it's a patch for android sources).In root of this file you should have device,vendor folders etc.Then pack it to tar
2)In window choose your file, enter name of device(same with vendorsetup.sh) and android version.Click send and wait for the number.It can take few minutes, depending of sources size.
HARDCORE
Write a script, with operations you need.To get results out you need to create out folder(mkdir out) and put to it files you need to get.
Get result
When your task is ready(track it http://144.76.68.236:8080/ here)
go to ftp://144.76.68.236/server/grare/ login is ftpusername password is 12345678
go to folder with your number name and download out.tar
Inside you will find
EASY- system.img and auto-created device folder.
HARD- android out folder
HARDCORE- files you have put to out with script
reserved
