[ROMcustomizer]PIMP MY ROM FOR O3D by "androidguide.fr"

PIMP MY ROM V2.0 FOR O3D:fingers-crossed:
Hey guys I have just tried the ROM customizer PIMP MY ROM by Androguide.fr for all android devices,and I found that V2.0 of this CWM flashable Aroma Installer works fine on O3D.However extra apps like sony ericsson walkman suite and and DSP manager from this installer doesn't install,except this everything works cool.
First download V2.0 HDPI version for O3D then do as follows:
Open the zip of the rom you are running with winrar or 7zip or whatever (the .zip file that you flash in recovery)
Inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android
Extract the file called "update-binary" and rename it to "update-binary-installer" then close your rom's zip
Open Pimp my Rom's zip (i.e : PIMP_MY_ROM-v1.5.3-by-Androguide.fr.zip)
Do not unzip it, inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android and delete "updater-binary-installer"
Now copy the "update-binary-installer" file you extracted & renamed from your rom to Pimp My Rom's zip (still in META-INF/com/google/android). Simply drag and drop it into PmR's zip to add it.
Close the zip and flash it
How to Flash PMR installer:
You can flash this on top of any custom rom with init.d support(like DNA_GB3.33)
- Download the version of Pimp My Rom that corresponds to your device's screen resolution (Not sure what res your device is ? Here "http://blog.blundell-apps.com/list-of-android-devices-with-pixel-density-buckets/" is a well-furnished list of android devices with their screen-res)O3D'S SCREEN RESOLUTION IS HDPI.
- Make sure you are running a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
- Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM, just in case
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery
- Flash PmR in recovery
- A wonderful touchscreen interface will pop-up
(devices need different touchscreen calibration, if the touchscreen doesn't work, use the menu button of your device, select "Calibration Tools" and follow the instructions)
- Follow the on-screen instructions, make your choices between all the different features to Pimp your Rom
- Select "Reboot my device" on last screen (or reboot from recovery) and enjoy.

Installed but now?!
How do I do to reverse the pimping? I'm sure that, because of it, my phone got bugged: became slower, less responsive, often it freezes on simple tasks like activating WiFi. So how do I uninstall it?

Just restore a previous backup from before the pimping or if you don't have a backup refresh your Rom but try the zip again first most of the options you can reverse
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

First time I used it, I got stuck when it changed the dns & ppp0 settings.
Took the battery out, did everything again and unselected the dns & ppp0 thing and it worked.
Everything is way more smooth and it's faster.

This keeps breaking video recording.

Anybody tried this on our new ics?
Could somebody post what are they tweaking to make our device work better?
I tried it on sanmo prometheus and kernel, sadly it just make things worse. It lagged and sometimes its freeze and bootloop.
I wanted to try it again with the new ics from xbsall. I will report how my device runs after the tweak.
Thanks

[Guide]1-Minute Porting
1-minute Porting Guide(mediatek)​
I will explain below the 1-min porting technique.If you understand whole thing then you can port a Rom in 1-mins=60sec....
But You need to setup few things which are quiet easy.
Four Things Needed:-
1)7zip (usually everyone of you have it)
2) Notepad ++( usually everyone of you have it)
3)unpack Scripts- Get From Here and click Here For Thread Link
4)Install latest Pearl From Here.
Now learn Using Unpack Script and setting Up ONE-TIME things:-
1)install Cygwin(linux terminal) (for setting up cygwin see my full guide to port rom here)
2)exrtact the Downloaded script under Home/Your_username/script directory of Cygwin.Here you have to make manually "script" folder then extract.
3)Now open your stock rom and get boot.img and put into unpack scripts folder under cygwin directory.
4)open cygwin and type" cd script " abd hit Enter.Now use this command to extract boot.img:-
Code:
./unpack-MT65xx.pl boot.img
5)Now Copy boot.img-kernel.img and boot.img-ramdisk to a separate folder for future use.And delete boot.img ,boot.img-kernel.img and boot.img-ramdisk to make folder clean for next use.
Start 1-min Porting:-
1)Open the Rom you wanna port with 7zip.(1sec)
2)Now drag and drop boot.img to scripts folder.Use this code to unpack-(6sec)
Code:
./unpack-MT65xx.pl boot.img
3)Now copy and replace boot.img-kernel.img by stock one which you extracted earlier and saved in seperate folder.(10sec)
4)now repack it by this command-(1sec)
Code:
./repack-MT65xx.pl -boot boot.img-kernel.img boot.img-ramdisk new-boot.img
5)Now yoy will get a new-boot.img file under scripts folder.Copy it somewhere else and rename it to only boot.img.Then drag drop boot.img to PORT Rom zip.(18sec)
6)Keep 7Zip opened and drag drop system/etc/firmware and replace from stock rom.(25sec)
7)Drag drop and replace whole System/lib/hw and system/lib/modules from stock rom.(32sec)
8)Now drag drop and replace full system/vendor folder and system/usr/keylayout/gereric.kl file from stock. (1sec)
9)Drag and drop build.prop to anywhere in PC and add below line-(38sec)
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx
10)Put value of your screen dpi in place of xxx..(40sec)
11)Drag and put back build.prop in Port Rom zip.Flash it and check it.(45sec)

1-minute Porting Guide(mediatek)​
I will explain below the 1-min porting technique.If you understand whole thing then you can port a Rom in 1-mins=60sec....
But You need to setup few things which are quiet easy.
Four Things Needed:-
1)7zip (usually everyone of you have it)
2) Notepad ++( usually everyone of you have it)
3)unpack Scripts- Get From Here and click Here For Thread Link
4)Install latest Pearl From Here.
Now learn Using Unpack Script and setting Up ONE-TIME things:-
1)install Cygwin(linux terminal) (for setting up cygwin see my full guide to port rom here)
2)exrtact the Downloaded script under Home/Your_username/script directory of Cygwin.Here you have to make manually "script" folder then extract.
3)Now open your stock rom and get boot.img and put into unpack scripts folder under cygwin directory.
4)open cygwin and type" cd script " abd hit Enter.Now use this command to extract boot.img:-
Code:
./unpack-MT65xx.pl boot.img
5)Now Copy boot.img-kernel.img and boot.img-ramdisk to a separate folder for future use.And delete boot.img ,boot.img-kernel.img and boot.img-ramdisk to make folder clean for next use.
Start 1-min Porting:-
1)Open the Rom you wanna port with 7zip.(1sec)
2)Now drag and drop boot.img to scripts folder.Use this code to unpack-(6sec)
Code:
./unpack-MT65xx.pl boot.img
3)Now copy and replace boot.img-kernel.img by stock one which you extracted earlier and saved in seperate folder.(10sec)
4)now repack it by this command-(1sec)
Code:
./repack-MT65xx.pl -boot boot.img-kernel.img boot.img-ramdisk new-boot.img
5)Now yoy will get a new-boot.img file under scripts folder.Copy it somewhere else and rename it to only boot.img.Then drag drop boot.img to PORT Rom zip.(18sec)
6)Keep 7Zip opened and drag drop system/etc/firmware and replace from stock rom.(25sec)
7)Drag drop and replace whole System/lib/hw and system/lib/modules from stock rom.(32sec)
8)Now drag drop and replace full system/vendor folder and system/usr/keylayout/gereric.kl file from stock. (1sec)
9)Drag and drop build.prop to anywhere in PC and add below line-(38sec)
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx
10)Put value of your screen dpi in place of xxx..(40sec)
11)Drag and put back build.prop in Port Rom zip.Flash it and check it.(45sec)

Ow nice guy, but this is for rom or for app or for rom and apps?

How to port roms to your mtk with android device

HOW TO PORT ROMS TO YOUR MTK WITH ANDROID DEVICE
Most of us have always wanted to use custom roms but there just no custom roms for our devices so we just use different app launchers and uninstall some bloatware to make our stock rom feel good.
Rom porting makes it possible to use a custom rom on your mtk device provided in this tutorial they have the same chipset (example: mtk 6582 ported to mtk6582).
THINGS NEEDED :
1. B1 archiver / ES FILE EXPLORER
2. Root Browser.
4. A rooted device is also needed but not much important if you have CWM INSTALLED WITHOUT ROOT.
PROCEDURE :
1. Make a backup of your current rom, preferably CWM backup. You can either use MTK DROID TOOLS or ROM MANAGER...
The location of the backup will be at clockwork/backup/"date and time of the backup ". This is very important since we will need stuff from the back up and we will also use the backup to recover the phone should the ported rom give any problems.
2. At this point I presume you have already downloaded the apps needed and the custom rom you want to use which is in a zip format( this was not important but I had to bring it up cause I know zombies could be reading this.
3. Now extract the custom Rom with Root Browser. if you extracted with Root Browser then the location will be "speedsoftware/extracted/"folder with the name of the custom rom "".
4. Now open Root Browser and open the folders side by side "custom rom which will be ported at one side and other side will be used for searching for the location of the things needed for the custom rom.
5. Delete the following from the Custom rom:
Boot.img
logo.bin (You do this only when you like the Your current logo.bin)
system/vendor
system/usr
system/lib/hw
system/lib/modules
system/lib/libncurses.so
system/etc/firmware
system/etc/vold.fstab
system/etc/vold.fstab.nand
system/etc/bluetooth
6. Now that you have deleted them from the custom rom replace them. You will find the boot.img at clockworkmod/back/"folder with date and time"/boot.img. The rest of the files and folders will br located in the Root /system. Just copy and paste
7. Now at the custom Rom panel go back to where you find the "META-INF" folder,open /google/android will now long press on "updater script" and tap on open with then select text editor.
8. Check The mount & format point check something like this mmcblk0p. A number is always written after the "P" replace the number of your BASE to PORT.
9. Check multi select in B1 archiver Select ( do not archive the folder the files are in but the individual files in the folder containing the extracts)
10. Compress to ZIP file wait till the process finished. Now boot to recovery and flash your ROM
Good luck in porting Your Rom... I have used this method to port 5 roms including AROMA ROMS. and I have never ported a Rom with a pc before
MAYBE U NEED TO EXTRACT THE BOOT IMG TOO IF THIS DIDNT WORKED
DO IT AS FOLLOWS
Requirements:
-- BusyBox (cpio, gunzip and gzip is mandatory)
-- /System Write Permissions (Does not need to be a modified kernel)
-- Terminal Emulator
-- ES File Explorer (or similar)
-- Hex Editor (or use of DD)
-- Open up your android terminal emulator.
-- Now go ahead and pull your boot.img from your device (or use another one if you wish)
-- Open up your boot.img with the Hex Editor and look for: ANDROID!. Remove everything before it so that the ANDROID! header is the first to be read then save it over top of the boot.img. NOTE: This is only required if you are using a stock boot.img.
OR USE THIS IF U DIDNT UNDERSTOOD THIS
