I wanted to take a couple of the ROMs that I like and just add some files into the /system/media/audio folder so that the stock sound files for the ROM are plentiful... in order to do this, i can't just unzip a ROM, add the files I want, and flash... I would have to resign this ROM to a zip file and then flash it... any tips?
pls use this big search button first.
there are many postings about sign zip and apk files.

Stericson have a new Metamorph App.
It uses xml theme control files instead of the old thm files.
danation from the ModMyMoto forum has made a program, that updates the thm file to the new xml format.
It works very very well.
Please at all themers:
Use the Pro Version, use the new Metamorph with xml. Upgrade your Morphs with the xml files. Its not many work for you, but you can help us themers and users if you do this.

Thanks, danation, thanks stericson! Great work!
Today, stericson has changed the free version to the new format, too!
Please upgrade your themes, themers!
So there are no chaos to the community!
I love it! thanks bro
I have noticed the themes are not working now... people need to update the themes they created... please??
Contact your theme developer.
I'm in the process of upgrading mine to the new XML format right now.
If the theme developer is no longer around you will have to either obtain and use a copy of the old metamorph app or use the conversion tool to convert the .thm into a .xml file before use.
After using the tool I can say it works, but I can think of a few ideas to make it easier. First of all, is there any CLI support? The GUI is a bit annoying. Also, the ability to drag+drop a .thm file right on the window and have it output the .xml converted file in the same directory would be just awesome.
All in all, Great work. It saves me from manually creating new .xml files for all my old .thm files.
this is a great tool that makes it super easy to change .thm files to xml. If only all the idiots on the market giving metamorph bad reviews could read this. Not hard to do it yourself if the theme dev is not around...
I don't really know, why themers out there have used the free version and didn't donate stericson for his hard work!
We know since three weeks, that the thm file become changed to the xml file
And now there is the chaos, because there are a lot of guys, who didn't read instructions.
Perhaps worth noting in the original post that this is an app for Windows. I assumed it was an Android app.

Its a Java app wrapped in an exe container for windows.
The release .zip also contains the .jar file that can be run on any desktop OS.
Command:
java -jar ThemeControlFileUpgrader.jar

I don't have said anything about an app. And if you have java installed at your home computer, theres no problem.
Or where do you see a problem?
P.S.: I have now 618 downloads of the themefilepatcher and everything is fine.
I think, danation has done a real good job!

Drag and drop is a good idea. I haven't tried that with Java before. I'll see what I can do.
What is CLI support?

I think be means this.
If it accepted a file/path as an argument then you would not need drag-and-drop...just create a batch file that used %1 and you drag the .thm file on it.
Nice to see you here, danation.
Thank you very much for this great option and the support!!
You must write some posts to have the permission to attach some files. I don't know why, but at xda is it so I think.

Oh, I see now. I'm not really planning on adding command line functionality, unless a lot of people really want it a lot.
But drag and drop sounded good, so I added it to 1.2
Version 1.2 can be found at the "original thread" link at the beginning of the thread.
-1.2-
* Drag and drop feature added (I borrowed some public domain code found at sourceforge) Tested on Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Should work on Mac and Kubuntu as well.
* Option to disable dialogs

Has anyone come across a method to change the file naming convention on the HTC One M8? I want to have the date and time stamp included in the file name like other Android devices utilize. This not only helps easily identify the images without checking image meta data, but eliminates duplicate file names after flashing new roms.
Thanks for any help!

Huge fail on HTC's part with this one. Here's an alternative to help sort through your issue.
NameExif

run the free program on your old files and it'll rename them according to the exif date data.

I noticed that when I installed Dropbox, it automatically saved all my pictures and videos on my computer with the format you're requesting. This still doesn't solve the issue where it's fixed on my phone, but it wouldn't be too hard to just copy and paste them back after they're all uploaded to Dropbox. Good luck!

Tired of looking at that honor 5X standard boot logo? Well here are 8 different ones I've made for you to chose from. This has been a bit of a challenge due to the different and occasionally strange 5X OS. I must thank @deadman96385 for pointing me in the right direction to where the 5X has it's boot logo stored.
Before using you must be aware that it is possible to soft brick your device, however I have changed my own boot logo 8 times using each one of the posted examples successfully.
At this point I must emphasise that I am not responsible for any ills that may befall your device, including soft and hard bricking through to Aliens landing, mating with your dog and then trashing all your devices.
It is not possible to upload .mbn files to XDA, therefore I have renamed the file extensions to .img, AS SOON AS YOU DOWNLOAD THE FILE rename the extension to .mbn
UPDATED 2/23/2016
I've had a request to give a guide for creating the oemlogo.mbn files to complement what I posted in respect of installing new boot logos. To keep it in logical order I have done a rewrite of the first guide and put in the new points at the appropriate places. If you are not bothered about making your own .mbn files but instead are just happy to use ones that I or anyone else post then you can just pick up at the appropriate point in the install part of the guide.
To create .mbn files for the honor 5X you will need the following..... (1) A graphics manipulation program - the one I use is the free "Paint.net" which can be downloaded from their web site at http://www.getpaint.net/index.html..... (2) You will also need a program which can remove the 54 byte header from .BMP files. Those of you proficient in code/scripting can probably do this with a good hex editor but I needed to find a program to do it for me. I use "bmp-header-remover.exe" from here http://karpolan.com/software/bmp-header-remover/ .... to be honest there is a lot of dispute and controversy on the Web about this type of program so I won't tell you to use it but for what I wanted it did the job.
When you get to the installation stage you will need on your 5X a File Manager and a Terminal Emulator.
OK let's get started ....
1) Firstly you have to find an image you want to use, this can be any of these .JPG, .PNG, or .BMP, personally I prefer to work with .JPG's. Bear in mind that the 5X default image size is 1080 x 1920 so if you start with a small image let's say 300 x 300, by the time it has been blown up to the full 5X size you are going to lose some definition and you will likely get an unwelcome degree of distortion.
2) Open the "Paint.net" program and click on the heading "Layers" then on the drop down menu click on "Import from File" then in the window that opens, navigate to where your image is and click on it to open it in "Paint.net". Don't be disturbed by the size or appearance.
3) Click on the heading "Image" then on the drop down menu click on "Resize". In the "Resize" window that opens enter the size of 1080 in the width box and 1920 in the height box. Then click "Ok". Your image will now be resized to the 5X parameters.
4) At this point you can use the "Paint.net" tools to adjust colors or add text and if you experiment you should be able to stretch or contract the image to how you want it. I make no apology for the fact that I am not giving a guide to the use of "Paint.net" here (their help page should answer any questions you have).
5) Now comes the juggling bit. In "Paint.net" click on the heading "Image", a drop down menu opens so click on the choice "Flip Vertical". Your image now takes what I think of as an "upside down and inside out" aspect, you'll see that it's upside down and in effect is a mirror image.
6) Now you need to save the file. Click on the heading "File" and from the drop down menu click on "SaveAs". Now it is important to save the image as a .BMP file irrespective of whether you started with a .JPG or .PNG or .BMP original. In the "SaveAs" box "Paint.net" tends to default as its own file format(.PDN) so change this by selecting .BMP. At this time you can leave the filename as it is or change it, it doesn't matter. Make certain that it is being saved to the folder location you want then click "Save". The next screen you get is the "SaveConfiguration" window, on the left hand side of this window you must click on "24-bit", leave everything else alone and click on "OK". Exit out of "Paint.net".
7) Now you need to run the program "bmp-header-remover.exe". A small window opens up and you will see two empty slots (to be honest you only have to read the screen and you will see what you have to do). In the top slot enter the path to your newly created .BMP file - In the bottom slot enter the path and name that you chose for your modified file. ***VERY IMPORTANT - YOU MUST GIVE THE FILE NAME AN .MBN EXTENSION*** So just to emphasize in the top slot you will have a .BMP file and in the bottom slot you will have an .MBN file. Click on the button "Remove BMP Header" and you have successfully created your .MBN file.
Now we move on to the "INSTALLATION" phase
8) Transfer the .MBN file to your device putting it in whichever folder of your SD Card you prefer. Use your File Manager to copy or Move the .MBN file to the Internal folder...../cust/hw/usa/logo..... If you want to keep the standard boot logo (as a safety precaution), rename it now or it will be overwritten. Rename your new .MBN file to oemlogo.mbn and change the permissions to match the original.
9) Come out of File Manager and open your Terminal Emulator. At the $ prompt change into superuser mode by typing su and pressing Return/Enter. You will then get the # prompt.Type load_oemlogo press Return/Enter and several lines of text will display, when this stops exit out of Terminal Emulator.
10) REBOOT and enjoy your new boot logo.
I have posted .jpg's so that you can see what you are getting.
Thought I would knock up another one. Very simple this one. All above instructions apply. Works on mine. JPG shows what it's like.

Hey @deadman96385 thanks for your post. I have been making boot logos and boot animations for my varied Android devices since 2012 and believe me when I say I have never come up with such a complicated way of dealing with them as that which is used by Huawei in it's EMUI operating/themed system, I think you might agree with me. Looking at my above instructions (just to INSTALL the darned thing) I am amazed that so many downloads have been made without a squawk about the complicated proceedure compared with a "normal" device using a flashable zip in recovery. That by the way is my ultimate aim (flashable zips) but so far very little success with my Edify scripting.
However even if I was successfull that would not tackle the problem of constructing the ".mbn" file which I'm sure is the point you are making by posting your query. @Deadman it is one of the weirdest and complicated set of steps I have ever had to take in order to create a file which I could "flash/load/push". On initially thinking about posting my method I am a little reluctant because I don't want to lead a possible "noob" into soft/hard bricking his/her device because of me. However I appreciate your interest and if you think it would assist the thread's community then I will do so. A word of warning, it will take me a bit of time to try and write in logical understandable steps the way to go.

TO ALL READERS ..... This post can be ignored now later events have overtaken it.
@deadman96385 ... Don't know if this has anything to do with anything ... In twrp recovery in the "Mount" section I have a partition named "cust" with an empty check box beside it. It is not possible to chose "cust" , the check box will not accept a click. If I use any "Install type" function i.e. install a zip or install an image or wipe Dalvic & Cache, although the function is "Successful" , I also get written several lines in Red (Error) text i.e. "Failed to mount '/cust' (Invalid argument)"
It may seem a remote possibility but is there any chance that the mount "cust" has anything to with my missing folders?
THIS POST CAN NOW BE IGNORED ..... My system was screwed up by the B140 update.

@clsA ... much appreciate your post, it just about confirms my suspicions that all the problems I'm having result from my installation of B140. Had tentatively decided that today I would restore one of my twrp backups taking me back to B130 then let it settle down before maybe trying B140 again. Just in the rare possibility that anyone else is having the same issues as me, when I found the folders missing I re-created them but on reboot they were deleted again.

I'm glad you like it, I've use xda for so long I'm glad to finally contribute to the community a little bit. About the thanks, yeah I've noticed that in a few other places in the 5x forums as well. It'll be nice to have the prerequisites out of the way. Again thanks for your tutorials, as soon as I find a video or something I like enough to put the work into I'm going to make a bootani also. I've been fooling around with the 2 that came stock and you're right Huawei made all of this much more complicated than it needed to be or has ever been on any other device I've owned.
Rgb skull splash screen
I made a red version of the skull splash screen to go with the new boot animation, for some reason when installed they render a different color than what I made on the PC so when trying to nail down red I got green and blue also that I will post. Since they render a different color I can't provide accurate thumbnails but they are the color in the file name. Remember to rename to oemlogo.mbn, put in the correct folder, change permissions, and load with terminal emulator as per the tutorial. I may take a break from making any more until I see about making them into flashable zips.

@wickedesires ... Congrats on the logos. Regarding the color change - I vaguely remember that in the early days of making logos for the moto G, I and others ran into a similar problem. This turned out to be a problem in the script used, the particular graphics program used by the script changed the colors. However if you are using the program "Paint.net" for your graphics manipulation then that probably isn't the problem.
As far as flashable zips go, since February when I posted my first logos for the 5X I have been working, fairly regularly, on trying to create flashables. I keep on running into errors which is particularly aggravating because I don't run into problems with creating them for the moto G or the moto X Pure. I think it's as we have both agreed - the problem lies in the difference between the 5X EMUI coding compared to genuine Android.
@metpolds I'm actually using gimp,but I'll give paint.net a look. If you break any ground on flashable zips let me know, I'll do the same.

@linux33it ... Thanks for adding your logo to the thread.
I see that you have this well in hand but I thought you might find this interesting anyway -
https://github.com/fedotawa/flash_oemlogo_u9500?files=1
Looks like it would be easy to modify if this helps.
Could start by commenting out the final load step, changing the resolution, feeding it a PNG, and see if it produces the same oemlogo.mbn as the same PNG run through your procedure.
I mention this because some of us don't normally run Windows.
Edit - now that I think about it, I may be able to get the original bootsplash as a PNG and then compare with the original Huawei mbn. I think I'll do that and get back to you unless you beat me to it.
Hello,
My device is the Mate 9 (MHA-L29C185B110) and I seem to have a problem with the camera.
When pressing the button to take a photo, the camera app restarts itself. I try again, but didn't work, to no avail.
I also tried to record a video. It seems to work, but the camera freezes but it's still counting, otherwise recording.
I have just recently flashed a custom recovery img (TWRP), the boot img on another thread that prevents the device from being automatically encrypted, and SuperSU root.
Do any of you have a solution to this problem?
Would this be because I haven't flashed Public_data.zip and Full_HW_data.zip?
And will this problem fix if I completely install the MHA-L29C185B172's firmware?

It could be a problem if you flashed a boot image for a different model. You need boot image for C185B110. It should work without hw and Public zips, but a lot of other things break without flashing those. Updating to C185B172 will fix it.
By the way, which supersu did you use?
If the one from the "Decrypt" thread in Guides you don't need to flash a pre-decrypted boot image, the installer does it for you.

As for the SuperSU, I think I took it from the full root guide w/o decrypt img, but obviously I had to use a decrypt img because of stock
SUPERSU-2.79-MATE9-init.d_support
For the boot (No force encryption boot)
This is probably where things went wrong. I flashed the wrong build image.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/stock-boot-img-library-t3573312
I had to use above link because I couldn't flash SuperSU since I don't have an external sd to extract it from (Since you have to format your data before flashing it)
I couldn't find the hw and public zips for C185B110, so if you have it, a link would be generous.
Would flashing stock boot img for MHA-L29C185B110 fix it?
and what would happen if i flash stock boot.img?
and do you have a decrypt boot.img for C185B110?
Thanks!

As for the SuperSU, I think I took it from the full root guide w/o decrypt img, but obviously I had to use a decrypt img because of stock
SUPERSU-2.79-MATE9-init.d_support
For the boot (No force encryption boot)
This is probably where things went wrong. I flashed the wrong build image.

I had to use above link because I couldn't flash SuperSU since I don't have an external sd to extract it from (Since you have to format your data before flashing it)

It would probably fix it yes, but no boot image or hw/public exist for B110 so I'm guessing it shipped with that build.
You'd have to update, using https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108
I don't think you can use Firmware Finder as you're probably missing the System Update feature.
Either that one I linked or FunkyHuawei, but Funky cost money to use.
Thanks,
I will try using the link you used.
although it is not clear.
On manual update step A, do you need to download all three?
the base, the OS(windows) and the model?
and where do i put these files?
and on b and c on update zip
do i have to download two update.zip?
for example, C185B110 and C185B172
do i also need to download full ota instead of just ota? fullota is incompatible, says firmware finder on mobile

Yes, download base, os and MHA. Extract all to the same folder. You should only have one folder named HWOTA and the files/folders in that. If it extracts to a folder with the same name as the zips, enter the folders and copy hwota folder then go back one folder and paste/merge so you end up with one folder named HWOTA. Easiest way is putting it directly in C:\hwota\, if your windows version allows it. Else place it on desktop. (long file paths or a path containing spaces might make hwota not function correctly).
You need to download all 3 files (fullota update.zip, hw zip and Public zip), easiest way is using firmware finder to download. Either mobile or the pc version. For pc go to the common base tab and search for your model and then download the build you want including public and HW zips.
You only need to download the fullota update, hw and Public zip of the build you're updating to. If you're on b110 and going to update to B172 you only need to download B172.
Rename the files according to the guide (update.zip, update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip), place them in either hwota/update folder or make a HWOTA folder on your sdcard and put the renamed files there.
When running hwota, select script update folder or sdcard update folder depending on where you put the files. Select same model update.
One last question:
Does it have to be FULLOTA, not just OTA?
