Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator [Script] Drag/Drop Support [Windows]

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!

[PC-UTIL] [Discontinued] [Source Opened] Android RTL Auto-Patcher + ProTools (v.1.5)

Discontinuation Notice + Source Opened!
This project is now discontinued, as I have moved on to Android 4.X (ICS) which has perfect built-in RTL support.
I will still provide basic support as much as I can, but if your device has it, I recommend you move on to ICS as well.
If you wish to continue working on this project and improving, you have my blessing (as long as you credit me, of course).
Source code is available here, but be-ware: it's an undocumented, unorganized mess.

Android RTL Auto-Patcher
Version 1.5
The Problem
It's a well known fact that while Android has Hebrew and Arabic fonts, it has a problem with Right-To-Left alignment. The problem: It doesn't exist.
Sure, MOST programs display text correctly, but mix text and numbers in the same line and you'll get reverse numbers (123 appears as 321), and in SOME Google apps (like Gmail and Maps) the words themselves are reverse (so 'apple' appears as 'elppa').
The Old Solution
There is a solution for this, however you have to create a separate patch for every build, because the patch changes files in the build's framework. It's a relatively easy process, but for people who change builds constantly, it can get tiresome.
This Program
This program detects if a build is compatible with the patch, and if so - creates it almost automatically and install it back to the phone. A process that took about 10 minutes to complete before and required some knowhow, now takes only seconds and requires almost no prior experience!

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
ProTools
The ProTools are a collection of tools that will allow you to patch ROMs manually either directly to ZIP files, to the phone, or to framework files. It will also allow you to push, pull, extract and manipulate files to and from ROMs of all kinds, with great flexibility and ease!
​​
Compatibility
This program is intended for use with custom DEODEXED roms of Android versions 2.1 and above. The program will inform you if your build is not deodexed.
The program will allow you to either push the fix directly to the device or flash via recovery.
WARNING: Some 'squashedFS' builds have been reported not to be compatible, and the program can not - at the moment - detect those!
Warnings
This program is in Beta stage!
Many features have not been thoroughly tested and error handling is far from perfect.
It may give some errors, crash or stall - at which point I ask that you please send me your log.txt (to find it, click 'About' and then 'Locate Log') or as an upload in this thread.
I do request - however - that you try to be as specific as possible regarding your build, your computer, and what caused the problem.
Also, if you include the log here, please enclose it in 'code' tags.
Requirements
You MUST have Microsoft .Net Framework 4 installed for this to work.
You will also need the latest Java Runtime Environment
You must also have the ADB drivers already installed:
In Windows Vista/7, just connect the phone and let Windows Update do it's thing.
In Windows XP, you need to manually install the drivers available here.
ADB itself comes with the program, so you don't need that.
How to use
If available, boot into recovery (recommended for non-rooted devices!)
Connect your phone to USB and make sure the computer recognizes it
Run the program, and select 'Test Connection'
After connection has been made, if the build is compatible - select the correct Sense version. The program WILL attempt to auto-detect, but it's not 100% reliable, so please confirm that the program detected correctly
Select distribution method:
Push to Device (Recommended) - does simply that, the program will attempt to automatically patch the phone for you.
Create ZIP - creates a ZIP file that's flashable through Recovery (Clockwork Recovery Mod). Will also offer you to save the ZIP on the SD card (doesn't even require mounting USB).
Show File - will just show you the patched 'framework.jar' so you can do whatever you want with it.
Select any additional options you might be interested in (Gingerbread keyboard, for example - is a fixed Gingerbread keyboard with fixed Hebrew RTL that is compatible with the patch the program installs. It should work on 2.2 devices as well, and replaces the stock Android keyboard).
GO GO GO!
Reporting bugs
Please be sure to provide the name and type of your build when giving feedback or reporting bugs. For better bug-squashing, please also provide your log.txt file, which you will find in the application's directory.
Also, even if you experienced no bugs, your logs will be appreciated.
Finally, if you put the the log content in your post, PLEASE encode it with 'code' tags.​
If you have any additional non-bug-related questions, feel free to ask them in this thread. I will do my best to improve this program as time goes by.
Thank you, and good luck!

Changelog, Known Issues and Planned Features
Changelog
1.5 - 14/08/2011
Advanced build numbers to 1.5 due to massive advances in the program.
Added global error handling - might not solve ALL problems, but will hopefully help avoid unlogged crashes.
When "Install Gingerbread Keyboard" and "Create Zip" are both selected, it will now also install the keyboard on the Zip.
The program will now also try to mount sd-ext in addition to system before patching (as will the flashable Zip).
When patching fails, the program will offer you to save the patched file to your computer for use with ProTools.
In the 'About' window, added the option to find the log file on your computer (for easier error reports).
Other minor undocumented improvements.
Completely overhauled the ProTools:
Offline Patching: Allows patching ROM Zips or 'framework.jar' files directly.
Manual Operations: Pretty much what ProTools was before, except with an easier straight-forward interface and with the option to operate on a ROM Zip file, from your phone, or directly from a 'framework.jar' file.
Added the option to manually push or pull anything to or from anywhere (with specific buttons for 'framework.jar', 'framework-res.apk' (for theming) and 'build.prop'.
Added the option to manually patch the Keyboard to the phone or the a ROM Zip.
1.1.2 - 20/07/2011 - minor update
Improved Sense 3.0 Detection
Updated build detection strings
1.1.0 - 14/06/2011
Fixed critical interface bug that caused the operation compelte / restart prompt not to appear if 'Push' was selected.
1.1.0 - 14/06/2011
Removed support for SD/SDRAM based builds
Instead, created three distribution methods: Push file, Create flashable zip or just Display file
Flashable zip will be flashable via recovery, and will attempt to push itself to the device's SD card.
Version 1.0.0 Beta
Build Detection:
Improved build properties detection
Vastly improved Sense detection mechanism
Sense versions now distinct by Sense version
Added Sense 2.1 (Gingerbread) support
'Pro Tools' (Beta) - Every single function of the patcher can now be called on seperately and manually.
Changed versioning scheme. Version 1.0.0 to be assigned.
Updated core framework files (fixed a lot of stability issues in Sense2.0 builds)
Planned Features
I plan to seriously improve the RTL fix itself in the near future, but since I lack the knowledge to do so myself, I'm waiting for some new methods currently under development by the excellent devs at iAndroid.co.il to be released.
I do plan to release to program's source code eventually, it's just such a mess at this point that I'm more ashamed of it than anything else.
I also plan to include a logcat monitor. Because the patch causes the phone to rebuild dalvik cache, first boot after patching often takes a VERY LONG time, and some users wrongfully assume their phone is frozen. I plan to include a logcat monitor that will hopefully know to differentiate between bootloops, errors, and dalvik rebuilding, so users can tell if their phone is actually frozen or just working. If this works, I might release this as an actual separate program.
Known Issues
Build 1.1.0 - If 'Push' is selected, when patching process finishes, no message is displayed and the program doesn't prompt to restart. - fixed in 1.1.1
There is hardly any error handling in the ProTools section. If they are called with no device available, it MAY freeze/crash the program. Will be fixed in upcoming release.
Fixes for Squashed filesystem roms do not work! Mostly.
Error handling is STILL utter ****e, may give unexpected errors (or not at all and just fail altogether).
If HTC Sync is installed and active, stuff may go nuts all around (as of 0.0.5 this is detected by the program and warns user).

PC - Win7 + net 4
LeoAndroid - Desire Z ....
Device restarted, passed the first splash (hTC) screen, took very long on the animation one, then started !
Changes :
1-No right side line alignement..
2-Numbers are still wrongly placed..

Tested and it workes!
Got an error in middle of the prosses but in the end it did what it was supposed to do.

The log indicates that you did everything right and experienced no errors, so there are two things I'd like you to try:
In the 'Toolbox' dir in the app dir, the leftover files from the creation process are left. Try pushing framework.jar manually to the device.
If that doesn't work, try putting 'classes_new.dex' in 'framework.jar', renaming it to 'classes.dex' (thus replacing the old one), and repeat step 1.
If that doesn't work something went wrong in the patching process itself, i.e. my source files aren't good for your build (they should be), the compression failed, or any step in between. Let me know if the leftover framework.jar and classes_new.dex solve the problem, and we'll try to isolate the problem from there.
Thank you all for helping

Thank you
Thank you very much for your great work.

The alignment works great for Arabic, but the thing with Arabic is that letters need to be connected with each other when they are in one word. From what I gather, this means needing to change stuff in libskia.so and libwebcore.so (both in /system/lib/).
For more info, you can check out the efforts to add Arabic support for many Android devices at http://ardoid.com/

Yes, I understand it's a problem with a lot of software, not only Android.
I will try to implement patching of Arabic characters in the future, once the program has a more solid base.

Right, sorry, my bad
I worked around your reported error in v.0.0.2, it was a little oversight I had in interface design.

Thank you for the log.
From the log it seems like there were no errors and that everything went as planned. I'm using the same build as you, so I know it's compatible.
What I'd like you to try, if it's not too much hassle, is this:
In the 'toolbox' dir in the app dir, there are leftover files from the process. Push 'frameowkr.jar' to your device's "/system/framework/" using:
Code:
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
and reboot.
If that solves it, the issue was with the push command (I currently have no method to actually detect if it was successful or not, I hope to fix that in future version).
If even that doesn't solve it, open 'framework.jar' using any zip/rar program, delete 'classes.dex' from it, insert 'classes_new.dex' (from the toolbox dir) into the 'framework.jar' file, and rename to 'classes.dex'. Push to the device, restart, and try again.
If you don't mind doing those things, it would help me greatly to detect where the patching process failed.
Thank you so much, and I promise to include Arabic fix as soon as the program structure is solid enough!

Yeah, well, v002 changes nothing in the process, only the interface.
I'd like you to try, if not too much hassle - to push the framework file manually and reboot.
If that doesn't work, try to put 'classes_new.dex' into 'framework.jar' and rename it to 'classes.dex' and push framework.jar again.
If any of that works then I can narrow down the issue.
On another note, I got reports from other people using DesireZ that the process worked for them, so I know it's compatible, it's just a localized issue.

This doesn't specifically belong to NAND development.
Moved.
(Regardless of that, it's a wonderful project).

[GUIDE] The Noobs Guide to Android ROM'ing

Work in progress..
Now the purpose of this guide is only one, to guide you through “cooking” your own stock flashable ROM from a shipped ROM… That’s it. It’s not hard but it does help you start the journey of the real dev work. There are to many "Devs" around that just do something like this guide and copy files from other ROMs to theres, And this DOES NOT make you a Developer so please dont go posting stock deodexed ROMs everywhere and call yourself a Developer
Before starting I’m going to assume you have setup the correct ADB Drivers for your device although not really needed to make a ROM, it does make it easier in the long run.
Once you run through this guide you will have a stock ROM with ROOT permissions, DeoDexed, Zipaligned, Busybox and init.d support. From there you can modify your ROM to your hearts content, all this is doing is making your base. The real Dev work is .smali editing, modifying .xmls making your own apps, etc... This guide will just help you to not rely on other members to release "Stock deodexed ROMs"​
Wording:
ROM = An Android Operating system
Cooking = Making your own ROM
Shipped ROM = A Stock ROM for your device, e.g. a RUU.exe etc…
Kitchen = The Dsixda’s ROM Kitchen
ADB = Android De-Bugging
CWM = Clockwork Mod Custom Recovery
zImage = Kernel controls CPU, Battery etc.
Modem/Radio = Controls cell signal, internet etc.
ROOT = ROOT Permissions, access to the ROOT or / of your device, kind of like the Windows folder on your computer.
DeoDexed = Removing the .odex files from a ROM to allow for .apk customizing e.g. Theming etc..
.apk = Android application file
Init.d = Allows the running of scripts such as Memory tweaks and SD-Card tweaks etc.
SU = Superuser
CMD = Windows Command Prompt
MOD = Modification
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ADB Short codes that may be helpful later:
Type these directly into your CMD window with your device plugged in.
adb reboot recovery = Reboots your phone straight into recovery mode
adb reboot = Reboots your phone
adb push = use this to push files to your phone, make sure you are in the folder with the file you want to push in CMD (Example, adb push c:\android\SystemUI.apk /system/app)
adb logcat = Tells you what your phone is doing.
adb remount = Remounts the partition specified (Example, adb remount /system)
Note 1:
When making a ROM the overall concept is the same for every device that runs CWM or any other custom recovery. The only main difference is extracting the files you need from the Shipped ROM​
Note 2:
It makes it easier to have a shortcut to your kitchen folder and any others you need in your favourites or dektop​
Part 1. Setting up the “Kitchen”
Go to THIS FAQ and choose the method you prefer to install on. If you are running Windows I recommend the Cygwin way. It’s easier and you don’t need to keep booting between Linux and Windows, You don’t even need Linux if you do it the Cygwin way. And please do get the pictorial guide HERE, it helps A LOT for “noobs” and don’t forget to install the Java JDK if you do Windows Option 1. Keep in mind that doing it on Ubuntu IS much faster.
NOW IF Cygwin is to difficult for you, just download Ubuntu and install it next to windows.
Part 2. Extracting the files you need.
There are a few different ways you can do this, the main ones are:
For HTC Devices
Get a RUU.exe from the internet for HTC Devices and extract the system.img and boot.img
Download the RUU and run it on Windows, proceed until you get to the screen with the picture of the phone, see bellow. – (No you don’t need to plug your phone in)
{
"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"
}
Open your Start Menu on Windows
In the Windows 7 search bar type %temp% and hit enter
In the folder that opens click in the search box in the top right corner and search ROM.zip
Drag ROM.zip to your desktop, open and extract system.img and boot.img to your desktop.
________________________________________________
For ANY Android Device (Or if you cant get them any other way)
Using a backup of a stock ROM, This way gives you the ability to make a ROM from pretty much any device that has CWM installed.
Taking the system.img and boot.img from the backup folder
________________________________________________
For Samsung Devices:
Extracting the following from a Samsung Shipped ROM
factoryfs.img (and optionally: cache.img, zImage, modem.bin)
TAR file containing factoryfs.img (optional: cache.img, zImage, modem.bin)
ZIP file containing factoryfs.img (optional: cache.img, zImage, modem.bin)
Any of these above methods can be used and the extracted files placed in the ORIGINAL_UPDATE folder of the kitchen in the next step. If your device is not compatible with these methods check the device list in this THREAD for more guides.
Part 3. Setting up the working folder.
Now we have the files needed to make our ROM let’s get to it!
Go to your kitchen folder then the original_update folder and place your files in It
Start the kitchen by starting Cygwin and typing cd kitchen then ./menu
Hit option “1. Setup working folder from ROM” press enter again
Select the option you want from the list e.g. “(1) system.img and boot.img”
Rename the folder if you wish but it doesn’t matter, hit enter
If you are working from system.img and boot.img you need to run through the extraction process in next step. Most new ROMs use an EXT4 file system so if you are unsure just hit option “2 – Run Ext2Explore (EXT3/EXT4)” and follow the instructions in the Cygwin window (If you are just using a .zip or .tar etc. you don’t need to do this step.)
When that’s finished hit “3 – I’m finished unpacking / abort”
Finally hit Y to see you working folder details once its run through the process.
Part 4. Add the options you want to add
A good thing to do now is, keep it simple. The kitchen is best to use only for making your ROM base, once you have the .zip file most customizing can be done from there unless you need to edit the boot.img etc. but we are not going to get into that in this guide.
Now, we are going to make a simple ROM base optimized for speed and functionality. Follow the next steps and by the end you will be ready to build the ROM.
The most obvious of all, we will add “ROOT Permissions”. So choose option 2.
Always stick with Chains method so hit option F, this won’t take long at all, wait for it to finish the press enter to continue.
Next add Busybox with option 3, hit Y to continue and enter when finished.
Most people disable boot sounds (option 4), I usually just do it later if I choose to.
Don’t worry about Zipaligning because we will do it when we build the ROM.
Next choose option 0 for advanced options.
If you ROM isn’t already DeoDexed choose option 11
If you wish you can backup both folders but I usually don’t bother.
Then select option B to Deodex BOTH folders, this one will take some time, on an HP Laptop core2duo with 4gig of RAM takes about 15 minutes.
Now add /data/app functionality so choose option 13 and select Y to continue, This allows you to move apps from the system folder to your /data/app folder before the install, which in turn allows the end user to uninstall the apps if they wish. This can ONLY be done with certain apps, like apps you get from the market.. YouTube, Google Maps, Twitter etc. DO NOT put dependent apps like SystemUI.apk etc in the /data/app folder.
Next add the Nano text editor on option 14
Next add Command Shell or “Bash” with option 15
Next add init.d support with option 17 to allow the running of init.d scripts, sometimes you may have to manually add the init.d folder to your ROM at the end or before build, either way it doesn’t matter.
Now we are ready to build the ROM and flash it. Understand that all these are optional, if you want to you can just deodex the ROM and go straight to option 99 and build the .zip file. This is just what I recommend you do
Next go to option 99 when you’re ready to build your ROM.
For now you will choose option 1 “Interactive Mode”
When it asks you to Zipalign your .apk’s you can now choose Y and it will quickly run through and Zipalign all the .apk’s in your build.
Once finished, it will start building you ROM.zip file this may take about 5-10 mins on a slow computer or if your CPU is busy already.
When that’s finished it will ask you to either continue with the updater-script or not, this is always a YES for you guys, so hit Y and move on.
Now we need to Sign our ROM, this is always a YES also
The final step is to either rename your ROM or not, it doesn’t matter if you do it now or just rename the .zip file later, so do what you wish and hit enter.
Congratulations you have made your first ROM! You can now backup your current setup in CWM and flash it from your SD-Card, be sure to do a full wipe if it’s the first time and install it.
Note 1:
Sometimes you may get an error and CWM wont flash it, USUALLY this is because the kitchen has screwed up the updater-script but this doesn’t often happen. If it does take one from another ROM on the SAME DEVICE (<< IMPORTANT) and add it to your ROM.​

A good tutorial for those with HTC devices, the tablets such as those from Samsung do not follow the file structure as before and will require a correct Edify definition file to create an update script that will work.

The kitchen should still sort it out. I've not had a Samsung tablet but its not going to be that different and if the updater isn't formatted properly compare it to a pre made ROM and see what's different

I'm definitely gonna try this out. Thanks for the instruction!

I want to follow this but i see no specifics on how to set up the kitchen on an Ubuntu machine, i purposely took one of my older dell latitude d420 and completely removed windows and installed the latest version of ubuntu, which is 11.10. would you please if possible, post some specifics on how to go about setting up the kitchen for an ubuntu machine, the faq links are pretty much windows specific. you said that using ubuntu would be much easier to go about this adventure, and i am dying to try it out, but im stuck, I know i have the java files and i have the android sdk all installed and stuff (or so i think). Any kind of enlightenment would be much appreciated,,,,,,,im refreshing this thread like every 2 minutes.....i really wanna dive into this

Perfect tool Thank you for your hard Word. Now everthing is very easy

The tool which I have been waiting for...works like charm!!
Thank for providing us this tool.
Gonna try to make GUI for this tool.

needed from ages
well first of all congrats for this wonderful tool it was much needed right from the beginning. plus i like your profile pic lol its my fav "KICK"...

will this work on twrp?
or it has different backup file type?
I just switched to twrp but not yet trying nandroid

Perfect tool!! This is really gonna help me with my custom rom instead of trying to copy the /system files one by one to my internal storage.

i'll be waiting for os x version as well (since i don't always run windows)
great tool btw
and congrats for making it to the portal

Error:'Tar' is not recognized as an internal or external command. And also 'cat'.
Where do these commands exist? are they exe files present somewhere in the java jdk folder?
Before you ask. Yes i have installed java jdk.
Do I have to setup the environment variables?

thank you for your great idea which is very worth
i had finally made that tool which has options like
1. extract data
2.extract system
3.deodex/ signed zip/zipalign
4.odexed /signed zip/zipalign
5.image file extraction
6. signer
7. odex/deodex invividual
the odex/deodex have different options like
if you extract the system file. it ask an option to odex/deodex . if you need to deodex that it will continue to deodex / zipalign/ signed which will be worked. and same as with odex..
if you dont have any imagefile extracted . there is an option that you can pull from the device and works as same above process
you can sign the zip/zipaline individually as per needed.
hopefully it works on all devices like ( sony, lg, samsung and almost all )
no specification of roms ( every rom is supported )
works for all version of android ( from 2.2 to 4.4.4)
thank you @jazzespresso for this idea

yeah making it work for all devices going to be quit challenging, there are, as you may know, too many odex/deodex tools here in XDA, but none are bug free. In fact, I always end up some kind of error during deodexing, so this part is always painful process no matter what devices you have, and you know people using Windows, Linux, Mac..etc, this puts more complexity to entire process.
but you have to start from somewhere, right?
hopefully, this process of yours grow into some nice utility that combines all other tools into one.:good:
Needless to say, good job and very much appreciated releasing it here in XDA community!

[TOOL] AAFC ADB Fastboot Commander - Cross Platform - 0.8.5b (28-06-18)

Code:
*** Disclamer
Be aware that you are able to brick your phone with this tool. I take no responsibility for your actions and/or damage and/or malfunction on your device. If you don't know how to use ADB or Fastboot, read tuturials first. You will be responsible for you actions all alone!
Introduction
Hello guys
Beacause many newbies don't want or to mess with the shell or simply dont know how and experienced users and developers are pretty lazy people i developed a tool which takes over basic actions like flashing/wiping partitions, sideloading zips, push/pulling files, taking screenshots or screen video and a lot more. Of course adb and fastboot commands can be executed as usual over the build-in shell.
Until now its a early beta only able to process basic tasks, not everything works as expected yet.
I've sometimes more, sometimes less time to work on this project, so i cant give etas to future releases!

How-To
After downloading:
(1) startup
On first start you will have to read & accept the disclaimer. You're able to turn that message of.
Now the main frame should show up. If you have installed android sdk, you can use yours instead the build in by setting the sdk path in ">SDK>change path" to your sdk path (most likely C:/Programm Files/Android/android-sdk). Select the android-sdk folder.
(2) connecting your phone:
connect your phone to your computer. on phone, go to "settings>developer options" and enable "usb debugging". if there is no "developer options", go to "(device) info>software info" and tap 7 times on "build-number". Developer options should be visible now.
Your phone should now ask you to confirm usb connection to your computer. if not, go on with (3)
(3) driver-troubleshooting
some vendors ship their drivers with windows update, they should be installed on first connect. Google also ships drivers for its devices with the android sdk. In all other cases, unplug your phone and go to ">options>device drivers". Now you have two options: 1. try the easy way universal-usb drivers from clockworkmod. Install them, connect your phone and try again. You may open the
windows device manager (WIN+R > devmgmt.msc), there you should see your device (either with warning, or successful connected) 2. search for the right vendor driver.
Choose from the list and install the drivers. May you also search for lite packed drivers on xda/web.
.. more comeing soon

Bugs & Features
Known bugs:
When starting tool not from its parent directory, but e.g. from chrome downloads, setting paths somehow fails (you'll get an error message). To start, navigate to your download folder and start it from there. If you still face problems, delete the "adbfbdata" folder in the same directory
Video recording/screenshots not working (stuck after pulling screenshot/video)
(This happens cause some devices don't allow to pull or write from/to /sdcard. Working on a fix right now)
When returning to internal sdk, the realSdk variable in the properties file is erroneously set to true, which results in an exception at the next start.
To solve this, delete the properties file in the /adbfbdata folder or set "realSdk" to false
Planned features:
Backup over adb or recovery
Multi-device support
Device specific actions (e.g. unlock bootloader on htc devices)
device info storage (online) for specific actions, downloads links etc.
Fastboot support for samsung devices via haimdall command line tool
workspace monitoring and intelligent file suggestions
A lot of gui improvement

Version 0.8.4 online
Version 0.8.4 (build 2787) is now online.
Changes:
You don't need to fill in your devices serial number from now - whenever a device is detected, its serial will be shown.
Currently, only one device can be handled (except from your own commands).
Tool will automatically search for updates and notify you in case of a newer version. You also can check manually by clicking Options->Check for Updates
Version is ready for download here.

Version 0.8.5 online (multi OS support)
Version 0.8.5 (build 2798) is now online.
Changes:
You now can use AAFC on your Mac, Windows or Linux machine! All adb & fastboot binaries are packed within the tool (even 64 & 32bit versions for some linux distributions) Please note: Support for Mac OSx and Linux distributions is still in early development (alpha) which means, you'll be able to run commands on every os, but may not use every gui function cause the gui is only optimized for windows for now. Please post your experiences in this thead or write me a message!
Tool will modify internal files and watchdogs for the current os
Tool will now delete whole temp folder, not only files
Look and feel changed to "Nimbus" on Linux because of Gui problems. On Windows and Mac OSx its the known OS layout
Version is ready for download here!
Troubleshooting:
If you're not able to tick the checkboxes in the disclaimer frame, check if there is a information dialog behind it. May the UpdateChecker tries to lay over the frame, but the disclaimer cannot be overlaid. I'm working on that.
If you get an exception like "File not found", please post it here (like any other exception). To solve this problem, try deleting the adbfbtool folder in the same directory (to reset the preferences)

Hey,
i tried your tool (build 2798) and really liked it!
I used it on my macbook and it worked well. Sometimes it gives me an exception like "file not found", but after a restart, it works again. I just needed it to flash diffrent recoverys while bringing my phone back to stock.
i would like the tool to remember the last directory i choose a file in, so i dont have to navigate through all my folders again. Also it would be cool, if you implement the shown backup/restore and apk install function. and maybe some quick actions like flashing a recovery with just a file chooser dialog.
I'm looking forward to the next update and will try it then!

Hey, thanks for your feedback! The file not found exception will be gone on linux and mac within the next release, it's left from windows-only.
Remembering directories is planned, in fact, i planned to set a working directory/directories, where the tool searches for .imgs and zips and stuff, so it can suggest them.
Quick actions - or something like that- are comeing when everything else is working
APK install is implemented, you're able to use it with the next release, I'm working on backup (both adb and recovery) right now. Maybe it's usable in the next release, or maybe in other future releases.
