Are you trying to create you own custom ROM?? Well today i will share with you,the easiest way to create your own Custom Rom
Requirements
[*]ROM for your device provided by your manufacturer. You can download it from their website.
[*]Notepad ++
[*]7zip
Lets get started ..
First of all download and extract the ROM files.
{
"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"
}
Next, go to system>app. There you can add or remove the apk files you want. Do not delete apk required for the working of your system.
After doing that go to system>build.prop. Then edit it with Notepad++.
Then search for "ro.modversion=" and type the name for your rom and save the file. See image for details.
Next go to meteinf/com/google/android/updater-script,Only if you want to add your logo ie) in the form of keyboard symbols.Edit it with Notepad++
Then starting from the first line type ui_print(" "); ,and inside the " " symbol type the keyboard symbol that you want.
Now add this folder to zip ie) compress the files using 7zip.
Now if you want to change the default wallpaper with your wallpaper
Double click the zip file you created (Do not Extract)
Go to system >framework>framework-res.apk>res>drawable-nodpi>default_wallpaper.jpg (this will be the current wallpaer)
Rename your wallpaer to "default_wallpaper" and then drag it into the zip and replace it with the default one.
Then click back icon untill a message is displayed for confirming the change you made ,and click yes.:good:
Now the final step
Put this zip file in your device and flash your device with CWM or TWPR.:good::good::good:

Tanks..
What about Samsung ROMs? I think the procedure is a bit different with those tar.md5 firmwares. Can I simply repack the ROM as tar.md5 and flash it? Or is there something else?
Sent from my SM-G920F
is there a video tutorial of this??
Thanks a bunch, very nice tutorial indeed. A bit basic which is wonderful for those who just entered the scripting world in android.
True
Thanks for the information.
I will try this guide out
tra_dax
Is that really so easy ????
I mean, the developers (for example cyanogenmod) needs "a lot of time" to bring out a stable Version
Thanks ?
Thanks a lot, again thank you very much
thanks man, i'm trying now

Actually we are only adding new apps and our emblem in the rar file.. we are not making any changes in the codes as they are stock rom... if you want to make changes to the code you must have a deep knowledge about the programming

Proof of it blocking the data:

loooooooooool .
Is it version 30 or 23. I like version 23 because 30 has got that crap angry bird UI!!!
it is version 30 and you can change the angry birds theme.
Its v30, but if you go to system > theme > swipe to the right for online
you can install the default theme and others from there
if u want u i can upload v23 but with no privacy fix.
thanks for the share mate will be flashing soon and trying it out
Awesome. Thanks.

PD: In my country Crack = Outstanding
You can take any battery mod and it will work, just download the framework-res.apk they provided and put it in the framework folder

Yes with option 5
Not to compete, but here's a more reusable script to zipalign any APKs...just place them in the folder named "Input", then run b-zipa.bat...they will be in "Output"...remember not to leave spaces between the names of the APKs..."b-zipa" actually means "Batch ZIPAlign", so you can place any number of APKs in "Input" and the script will zipalign them all...

but where should I put the file folder to zipalign?
For Windows OS users, I wrote a script to incorporate Zipalign.exe in Right-Click Context Menu for super easy zipalingn apk anywhere in your hard drive,,
Here is a pic from my PC after Right-Click and showing Context Menu.

Hey Guys this First script ive ever wrote!
With this simple tool you can Decompile your kernel into the Ramdisk and the other stuff that makes a kernel this will then allow you to make changes to the ramdisk easily, swap ramdisks and stuff to create repacks to allow OC kernels for different android versions and edit bootclasspaths for porting sense ROMs and stuff..
For a quick tutorial you can simply do this:
- Drag and drop your boot.img onto the decompilekernel.bat and it should split into two parts, the ramdisk, and other stuff (not important really)
- After you've made your edits and stuff, double click the recompilekernel.bat and this will make your boot.img and name it new kernel (cant remember) and the edited ramdisk.
- Once you've done what you wish to do with, double click the makeclean.bat and then everything will be cleaned except the two kernels!
Download here

Will upload with screenshots and stuff when this gets a tad more popular.. If not i see no reason to continue the updates Sorry

The idea is good, but in my opinion there is a downside: it's becoming pretty easy to change important stuff...
So please think before you change something. If you're not 100% sure what you are doing, better don't do it.
But otherwise, nice work
You can use Dsxida's Kitchen >>Go to Old Stuffs>Porting and You can decomiple Ramdiosk and kernel there

Ofcourse there are gonna be other ways and tools, but isnt this just the easiest? you have 1folder and 3bat's. Drag and drop to decompile and then double click to recompile, no need for Java paths or anything, straight to the point, small file, all in one directory and is fast, no need to learn how to use Dsxida's Kitchen or muck about with other files.
No BullS**t just straight tools.

You most certainly can, although full functionality varies between devices!
New version updated!
I'm slightly confused. Why do we need another tool that does this. Kudos on your first script, and it can be a great learning opportunity, but I fail to see the merit in another tool to do the same exact thing as a kitchen.
does not work for me.
Hi,
Yesterday, an article featured the XDA Portal, talking about a new "code editor" for the Edify language. I wasn't much interested in it, because:
1. Windows, duh!
2. Porting ROMs (which I seldom do, though), or editing updater script, I use Linux.
3. Why a new editor, when language support can be added easily to *most* of the editors? This limits user functionality, the way user had been interacting with software, and would be missing out high on features
So, I decided to add edify syntax highlighting support to the popular text editor, Geany (yes, I don't use Gedit, and hate it. Period.).
Here's how you'd go about doing this one
All changes are perfectly revertible, so, you won't have to risk reinstalling Geany :fingers-crossed:
First, copy your filetype_extensions.conf to your home folder using the following command:
Code:
cp /usr/share/geany/filetype_extensions.conf ~/.config/geany/
Open it up, and add the following line, (below "Docbook=*.docbook;" preferably, to maintain alphabetical order):
Code:
Edify=*updater-script*;
Download the following file: https://raw.github.com/thewisenerd/edify_geany/master/filedefs/filetypes.Edify.conf
And place it within your ~/.config/geany/filedefs/ folder.
Hopefully, those are all the changes that need to be done
Close Geany, and open up any updater-script file, and hopefully, you should have syntax highlighting :laugh:

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know the link for the Edify.config:
https://raw.github.com/vineethraj49/...pes.Edify.conf
seems to be dead. If you use:
https://github.com/v-superuser/edify_geany
and download as a .zip. Unzip and open the "edify_geany-master" folder.
Copy the "filetype_extensions.conf" and replace the file with the same name in the ".config/geany/" .
Next go back into the "edify_geany-master" folder and go into the "filedefs". Copy the "filetypes.Edify.conf" and pate it into ".config/geany/filedefs".
Open up Geany and go to "Tools". Hit the "Reload Configuration"
Now you are ready to go.
