I wonder, where are the files from the ROM languages ?
I found some files in / system / csc, but on a custom rom, no.
So I guess this is not the way of the "base" system.

I can't copy or move files stored in device ROM.
I've tried with Resco Explorer and Total Commander, but without success.
I didn't understand if there's a registry hack that allows these operations.
I've notice (or so it seemed to me) that I was able to substitute/copy/move some files having the ROM attribute, but many others not (eg: I've tried to copy the nleddrvr_sec.dll, obviously without success, otherwise I'd post this here!).
Surfing in many forums, I read many others asking for the same thing, unfortunately I haven't seen answers to their question about this.
Hope someone explains to me how to do or why is impossible to do.

You can not copy / move / delete files in ROM. Thats the point of "Read Only Memory"
These files are not stored as individual files but are in fact packed in a special way as part of the device image which can only be written (flashed) by special tools.
If you want to extract OS files you need to use a ROM dump tool.
I suggest you look in the WiKi.
What you can do is overwrite one or more "ROM files". What will happen in reality is that a copy of the file with the same name will be placed in storage memory and the system will go there. If you hard reset your device or rename the file it will go back to the original file.

As you said here and here (Changing Files in Windows Dir )
it's impossible to move/copy ROM files, just overwrite 'em.
Doing so the system looking for these overwritten copies.
So now the question are:
- there's a registry entry that points to this substitute ROM files?
- to modify an existent file resident in ROM I MUST dump my ROM or another one same or similar?
Mersì bo q, anyway.

Hi all,
I have downloaded a ROM from the ftp site which was a ZIP file containing many CAB files together with Autorun.exe, TPDisable.exe etc...
I know I have to copy these into the Extended ROM folder to then upgrade the ROM (or do I ??) but how do I remove the current files in there because they are all Read Only.
If this is not the correct way to upgrade the ROM, then how do I go about doing so ?
Many thanks
Cormac
Hi,
I have downloaded the latest Dutch T-Mobile ROM and extracted the ROM, SYS and OEM folders. First of all I would like to know something more about this folder structure. From what I can gather is that the ROM folder is similar to the Windows folder, the SYS folder is similar to the "Program Files" folder containing key windows mobile applications (contacts, explorer, media player, etc) and the OEM folder is used for OEM extras (skins, themes, etc).
I want to remove all T-Mobile skins, themes, packages, etc to create a ultra clean rom. How can I do that?
Thanks in advances

Hi Guys
I need some basic help/understanding about Android ROM modification.
In particular for an Android MX TV Box - but the questions is generic and applies to any ROM I guess.
The Rom im flashing has the following files (and works perfectly):
factory_update_param.aml
hd18d_mx4.zip
recovery.img
I am able to successfully restore my box with this image (so I know that the image is working fine).
Within the hd18d_mx4.zip there is:
Directotories: data, META-INF, recovery, system
files: boot.img, bootloaded.img, logo.img
I tried to do a very basic step of deleting a single system.apk file from the system/app folder (no other changes) and I am unable to flash this firmware.
Any ides - what am i doing wrong?? It seems like i cant make any modifications to the zip file or there are problems.
I tried using dsixda Rom kitchen, and even if put rom in working directory, and then immediately
Please help - this is driving me mad!! Aaarrghghg
Hello, I´m a newbie on this matters.
I´m trying to cook a custom rom from a stock rom for this android pc with RK3328 chip. The rom I´ve downloaded is an 8.1 android image version, an the app I used is RK3xxx_firmware_tools_5.78.35.00 that I´ve downloaded from the chinagadgetsreviews.
When I uncompressed the rom.img, system.img and boot.img with this app, I got three folders called: "Android", (with a "Image" subfolder with the boot.img, kernel.img, recovery.img... and a package-file file), "boot", (with a boot.img.unkrnl.dump folder who contains many folders and .rc files, boot.img.unkrnl.cfg file and boot.img.cfg file), and "system", (with the app, etc, bin... folders and the build.prop, compatibility_matrix.xml, manifest.xml and vendor files). Also got a system_statfile with these 3 folders.
I´d like to remove some apps from this rom and include others, and if it is possible, changing the recovery.img from it. The recovery partition has 64MB of size, and the original recovery.img has only 9057 KB. The recovery.img I´d like to install is the twrp_RK3328_v3110 adapted for this chip (who has only 5258 KB), but I wonder if I could simply replace the original recovery.img with this twrp one on the "Image" subfolder I said (renaming it first to recovery.img) and after repack the rom, or, like I'm afraid, more things have to be done.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Anybody doesn't know how?

All I can say is, extract the ROM until you get to the system folder then look for /system/app and /system/priv-app folders, delete the apps you don't want and add the ones you want. Then, remove your recovery.img and place your TWRP.img in its place then repack everything into the file format that you need then try flashing it.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to start doing your own research to get your ROM put together correctly.
