Hi
can anybody please help with decomiling ETEN Romz so that we can customise it and tweak it like HTC romz.
reo
Try this attach
Usage:
prepare_imgfs_eten.exe temp.dat
then mamaich viewimgfs
Hi
thanks i have this file, and yes it does work to disassemble rom. but i had a problem reassembling.
i am still testing this, i will fill everyone in.
regards
reo
OK, continue
...modify "dump" directory as you need...
BuildImgfs.exe
make_imgfs_eten.exe temp.dat
hi
thanks, but my problem was actually this part. i should have been more clear. when i done a recompile with build the OS did not come out correct. it seems that it got damamged and when i loaded it to my phone it froze up on boot logo.
is there a limit on the amount of changes u can make in the OS part ? mayb it must not go higher than a certain file size ?
i however have successfully changed the startup logo, and extrom and created a new ROM. only the OS part has been a problem.

How Can I extract the ROM from Eten?
reo
These tools were tested on M500, M600, G500.
If you disassemble temp.dat to dump folder, and then built temp.dat without any changes in the dump folder, the resulting file temp.dat is working?
I tested this, but unfortunately after i reassemble it does not recombile identically. so when i compare there are differences.
however, i have noticed that if you do not have the PPM from itsme repository then you will get 652 files extracted, when you should actually recieve 1117 files
regards
reo
prepare and make imgfs works. when i open reassembled temp.dat again with prepareimgfs - viewimgfs extracts files normally (About 102mb). But comparing with hex editor, first 51,880,508 byte is ok then it changes. After every 513 bytes there is extra 7 bytes in orginal rom. I think Eten made some protection. For example in rom ver.230 bootscreen image (JPG) is located at first lines of rom. But every 512bytes of image there is FFFF FFFF. So i removed FFs and i got bootscreen image
uas, could you give me prepare_imgfs_eten source? i want to see how it works. i am not a programmer but i made a little perl code which adds FFFF every 512bytes of a file. For making bootimages for putting into rom.
Reo i couldn't start bootloader anymore after i made a modification on rom. Could you give me any suggesttions? Forgive my english if there is sth wrong....
All perl scripts for eten roms are in the Russian forum

thanks very much..
can someone make a Eten G500 rom with a bigger page pool ?
UAS,
Thanks a lot for your tools. It works perfectly on my M600 and I am going to write up an tutorial how to customize the rom in detail

thank you very much for your effort, this really make my daylooking forward to your complete tutorial.
initflashfiles.dat you can get from the windows folder on your device.
It must be in Unicode but without the first two bytes FFFE Unicode sign.
Localized names must be like as:
Directory("\Windows"):-Directory("\x0428\x0440\x0438\x0444\x0442\x044B")

But seem like Eten's PDA doesn't come w/ one. Use initflashfiles.dat from other as template and make one from scratch is quite time consuming and error prone (especially w/ Chinese rom w/ chinese file name and directory). For me, I just manually move the files and directories once. Do a SPB backup and use the backup files for initialization after ROM update.
How to custom build Eten Rom
Let me thanks UAS for the tools first
I put all require programs, and user.txt and default.txt (registry for *** Traditional Chiniese Rom ***) into a signle package. Here http://rapidshare.com/files/30073907/eten_rom_cook_package.zip.html
Steps
******************
U will find the steps are very similar to cooking Asus P525 here http://www5.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=3788644&extra=page%3D2
***** Section 1: obtain the imgfs_raw_data.bin from the rom *****
1. Download my Rom edit and update package (addfile.exe, buildimgfs.exe .... etc.)
2. In File Explorer, put "%temp%" as address and it should bring you system temp directory probably "C:\Documents and Settings\<yr winodows user id>\Local Settings\Temp", U may want to do some clean up if lots of files there.
3. Run the Eten Rom update program (e.g.: EUU_M600_CHT_R22_101_0230HK_WinXP.exe)
4. No need to connect yr M600. Follow the update instructions step by step and you will eventually see a files: temp.dat (~73mb). Copy the Rom file (Temp.dat) to other folder and extract my package there.
5. create the imgfs_raw_data.bin file by "prepare_imgfs_eten.exe" ONLY
***** Section 2a (Modify Rom content by Add/Remove files) ******
This method is very easy and relative low risk
1. Remove files in the Rom by "Delfile.exe <file name in the rom>"
2. Add files to the Rom by "Addfile.exe <file in yr computer>" (If the program crash, the rom is probably full)
***** Section 2b (Modify Rom content by extract and re-package) *****
More complicate and BuildImgfs.exe take a long time to build a package. But this method ismore flexable and manageable.
1. extract the content by "viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin"
2. add/replace/remove files in the dump directory
3. package the content by back to imgfs_raw_data.bin by "BuildImgfs.exe" (take a shower then come back )
****** Section 3 (optional: Modify the registy content of the Rom file) ******
1. Get the default.hv and user.hv from 2b.1
2. do the following in DOS to convert the registry to readable format :
REM ****************************
SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
rgucomp -o default.hv -nologo > wwedefault.txt
rgucomp -o user.hv -nologo > wweuser.txt
REM ****************************
(note: If you are modifing Chinese Rom, rgucomp does not support Chinese Ouput and you need to manually fix the output file (or use mine in the package as yr template)
3. Add "REGEDIT4" in the beginning of the files, leave a blank line atthe end of the file and save the file as UTF-16 or Unicode format. (Ultra-Edit is very good editor for this)
4. Edit the files for registry setting
5. Do the following to replace the registy file w/ yr modification
REM *** Registry ****
Delfile.exe default.hv
Delfile.exe user.hv
attrib -h -s -r *.hv
SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
copy /y wwedefault.txt boot.rgu
RGUCOMP -b
copy /y boot.hv default.hv
Addfile.exe default.hv
copy /y wweuser.txt boot.rgu
RGUCOMP -b
copy /y boot.hv user.hv
Addfile.exe user.hv
REM *** Registry ****
******** Section 4 (Optional: Create Folders or copy files from \Windows to other directory)
1. initflashfiles.dat not present in Eten rom, U can create one and put it in the rom. But I can't make my M600 to boot properly w/ this
******* Section 5 Convert imgfs_raw_data.bin temp.dat***************
1. make_imgfs_eten.exe
******* Section 6 Update yr M600 w/ the modified rom***************
1. Copy the temp.dat and RUU.exe (from my package) back to %temp% directory
2. Connect yr M600 and wait for MS Activesync to connect first
3. Run RUU.exe and follow the instruction.
My customized M600 Hong Kong Rom
Don't ask me for M600+ rom since I don't have M600+, and I will not have time to customize build for others. So, take it or leave it (but I might do bug fix and update if there's any). Please feel free to give comment.
*** ROM based on Hong Kong 230 ROM (EUU_M600_CHT_R22_101_0230HK_WinXP.exe) ***
What's get removed from my customized rom:
1. Eten phone firewall (replaced by CALL SMS Blocker)
2. MSN & Msn messenger (replaced by MSN Live and Live Messenger)
3. Eten phone profile manager (Replaced by Pocketmax Phone alarm)
4. Calculator (replaced by Omega 1-Calc)
5. Pocket Excel (Install Softmaker Office if you need a REAL excel program)
6. Pocket Powerpoint
7. Mandarin Voice Command (replaced by Cantonese)
8. Error Reporting and Irda driver
9. Eten backup problem (Replaced by SMS backup Genius and SPB Backup)
10. Quick Link
11. Lots of other junks
What's buildin: (all the tricks I mentioned here: http://www5.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=2505945&extra=page=1)
1. USB Host
2. Eten backup battery patch
3. Eten Skype Setting, and Skype
4. SPB Safe Mode and AltTab
5. AE Button Plus
6. Resco Audio Recoarder
7. Resco File Exploer 5.42
8. MemEmpty
9. Multipad.exe
10. No Plugins Today
11. TCPMP Player
12. Pocket Alarm
13. Resco Photo Viewer and screen capture
14. Task Manager
15. Celedial and CeleTask
16. WM5NewMenu
17. Wisbar Lite
(Not all the apps are registed or some of them registered under my name, you may need to look for the SN yrself)
To Install:
1. Follow instruction 6 on my previous post to load the rom
2. put the exe file on yr PDA and run it to have the needed files in place

(Formerly "Dump Sorter" and "XipDumpSort")
New and Improved - Much more functionality than the old one!
I'm trying to make this a general cleaning\sorting\worker app for processing dumped folders. If you'd like a feature added, please let me know.
What is it?
This is a simple program designed to take the hard work out of rearranging, cleaning and merging dumped ROMs with Kitchens.
What can it do?
Clean - Removed all files with the same name as their directories (This is very useful when converting files to modules)
Sort - Files and Folders can be sorted by:
Ervius Kitchen's folder format
osKitchen's folder format
By comparing to a donor folder (should work with any kitchen)
Unsort from:
Ervius Kitchen's folder format
osKitchen's folder format
Merge missing file and folders from a donor directory (useful when the dump is missing files\folders) (SVN Directories are ignored ('.svn' and '_svn'))
How to install
Click the 'Install' button at http://vidmes.com/dumpsorter/publish.htm
(In order to use the 'launch' link, you need to be using IE)
(Alternatively, just use the zip below)
Notes
Merging is done last, so if the donor directory is 'dirty', this 'dirt' will be copied across
This requires .NET 3.5
Also attached is the source code (for anybody interested) - the project was built using Visual Studio 2010, so it may not open in older versions of VS
Known Issues
Things to do
Get a logo\icon
Ability to pull data from archives (eg zip, rar and 7 zip)

Initial release
thanx Mr Moderator
its very usefull
WOW!! This is an awesome tool. I'm definitely gonna be giving it a try. Thanks
EDIT: Works perfect
This thing is awesome. It's perfect for organizing SYS folders for any kitchen based on ervius's visual kitchen.
Hello,
Thanks for this tool, it's really nice!!!
Just small thing added to your code :
Code:
void bgwDoSorting_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
txtLog.Text = (string)e.UserState;
pgbrStatus.Value = (e.ProgressPercentage > 100) ? 100 : e.ProgressPercentage;
}
and :
Code:
//old : bgwDoSorting.ReportProgress(workDone * 100 / workTotal);
bgwDoSorting.ReportProgress(workDone * 100 / workTotal, result);
I also reverse the log to have latest lines on top (log+newline instead of newline+log)
Thanks for the great job!!
very nice, thanks for sharing!

I was considering that, but I think you'll find it will run a bit slower (due to having to constantly update the log box). Then again, if you have a dual processor machine (and who doesn't?), you probably won't notice a difference.
Any chance someone would also be interested in writing a batch file or simple program to delete duplicate files inside of a folder? ie: if there happened to be files inside of the module folder as well as the actual module files. So for example "tapres.dll" module folder for some reason has "tapres.dll" file inside. Would need to got hrough whole SYS though.
I am testing it now....
Pretty cool set of resources...thanks
Point of Sale.

Sure
Maybe I can change my sorter into a cleaner as well...
Any other 'common tasks' I should include?
Perhaps a tool to merge missing folders into the sorted folder? (eg if the new SYS or OEM is missing stuff from the old one)

Good ideas...
Maybe I add one : default template folder, for example specify DPI, RESV/H and Lang code(s) then go should be usefull when adding a new language to an existing kitchen who don't have the full folder structure yet for the new language
If you need help do not hesitate!
PS: about performance, as you said everyone have dualcore computers at least so backgroundworker + log refresh is not slowing the process, and if it is it's not really visible (I'm not working on 1000000 files for 1000 languages so...)
I've rebuilt the backend to be more 'flexible' (ie custom workers and sorters).
I will build the cleaner and the extra sorter some time soon and have it posted up - don't expect anything too soon though...
Attached is the updated source code
(You should be able to tweak the .sln file to work in Visual Studio 2008)
Very good application but I can not use it, can you set it to work with .NET 2 ?

Because .Net3.5 has big size for me and members like me to download and install and if I install it, can I remove my .NET2 and .NET1 or need them too for other programs?
Now I have .NET1,2,3 but not .NET3.5
.Net 3.5 include 2.0 but you don't need to remove 2.0 before installing 3.5...
If you use windows update it will be big but not as big as if you download the full package from microsoft (it will just take kind of missing parts)
I like the way microsoft made all this framework, you can setup 3.5 without any problem to your existing 2.0 (or 1.1) applications.....more and more programs are using it so it's not a time loosing install for me..
New version released!
Dump Sorter now has all of the features requested.
From the changelog:

Added: About box
Fixed: Merger now ignores SVN directories ('.svn' and '_svn')
* 0.2.3516.23053
Added: Cleaner (remove files with same name as directory)

Nice i saw your announcement in the release and came to see it... downloading and testing in the next release i seton the kitchen... maybe the tutorials will be useless ... Thanks a lot man!!!
hey there
Thanks for this update, will test today...
Missing screenshots on 1st post lol
what about using ClickOnce so we can have auto updates of the program? If you need help hosting I may help.... I love programs I like to be auto updated and it's really a small thing to do with VS (never tested with 2010)
Keep the good work, looks like we are coming to a complete "pre-kitchen tool"....
01/04/2010 update - program can read list of modules from text file.
download link: http://www.4shared.com/file/255038195/c2b5de9b/RecModFolder_04.html
mirror: http://narod.ru/disk/19297102000/RecModFolder_04.zip.html
how to use
1. create text file RecModFolder.txt,
2. write list of modules to this file, for example:
SYS\MediaOS\wmpocx.dll
SYS\OS\dw.exe
SYS\OS\dwui.dll
SYS\OS\DwXfer.dll
3. pass RecModFolder.txt as a parameter:
RecModFolder.exe RecModFolder.txt
that's it.
and, of course, you can convert all modules in folder like this
RecModFolder.exe SYS\AdobeFlash
RecModFolder.exe SYS\AdobeFlashCodecs
there are sample RecModFolder.txt and cmd file that I use with OSBuilder
cmd file is executed from the root of my kitchen, program is in the tools\RecMod subfolder
====================================================
old post:
I developed small tool which helps me to update my kitchen with new OS build.
My device has wm6.1 kernel and I get tired with "too many modules" problem.
I know I can use RecMod to convert modules to files, but it's so slow and inconvenient:
find folder with module,
drop it on recmod.exe,
get new file out of this folder,
delete folder,
move file back,
find, drop, get, delete, move...
find, drop, get, delete, move...
GRRR!!!! =)
My tool will do all these steps for me.
I just select parameters:
1. Folder - folder with modules, for example SYS\21872,
2. Mask (optional) - any mask that is valid in windows is acceptable,
(common masks are *.dll, *.cpl, *.exe, *.mui), no mask means "*".
3. Count (optional) - how many modules to convert, no count means "convert all".
[new in v0.3] If Count is 0, program will only display all modules matching the mask,
and do not change your files.
=======================================
Example 1:
>RecModFolder.exe c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054
means - RecMod all modules in c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 recursive
=======================================
Example 2:
>RecModFolder.exe c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 *.exe
means - RecMod all exe modules in c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 recursive
=======================================
Example 3:
>RecModFolder.exe c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 *.dll 10
means - RecMod first 10 dll modules in c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 recursive
=======================================
Algorithm
Code:
read parameters from command line
find all modules in given folder (recursive) using given mask
for each module folder
{
call RecMod
create temporary unique file name (GUID for safety reason)
move new file to parent folder and assign it temporary name
delete module folder (with all files)
rename new file, give it real module name
if (count >= requested count)
{
stop
}
}
=======================================
Installation
make sure you can run RecMod from console, add its folder to PATH or drop RecModFolder.exe to the same folder.
That's it.
=======================================
Tips
You can create shortcut to RecModFolder and drop folders on it from explorer or Total Commander. RecModFolder will convert all modules in that folder to files.
Backup your files. This tool doesn't ask any questions,
it just informs you in case of error and stops immediately.
Save log file and check it for errors.
This is console application - you can use it in bat files.
You can save output of this program to text file - add >fileName.txt to your command line.
example:
RecModFolder.exe c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 *.dll 10 >log.txt
this command will call RecMod first 10 dll modules in c:\xda\v1\SYS\21054 recursive
and save its output to log.txt.
Do not open folders you want to delete (replace with files) in explorer (or Total Commander, FAR, etc.) while this program works.
very nice, but there is already a similar app which does it from right click menu..
see here -> recmod by OndraSter
you probably have more options on the whole process, but the other tool might be more convenient.. anyways i will try
serfer222, you know that you may be responsible for whole lots of nab made VERY bad rom releases now, lol?
hheh, thanks for that tool anyway.

I can explain what is the main difference:
If I choose one module folder, for example
Code:
SYS\21055\SHARED\COMMON\BROWSING\browser.dll\
and select osRecmod "Recmod this folder" it will work.
but if I select parent folder
Code:
SYS\21055\SHARED\COMMON\BROWSING\
osRecmod will just delete this folder and create empty file BROWSING
in the SYS\21055\SHARED\COMMON\
So, you see, it doesn't work for me.
I want to convert all modules inside folder
Code:
SYS\21055\SHARED\COMMON\BROWSING\
in one step. I drag this folder on my tool and all modules are converted to files. That's what I want =)

You know, there are a lot of such rom developers already here.
This tool will just save their time and maybe they will find out whole new world outside computer and then will quit rom development... =)
Thank you serfer222 for this application, which complements my kitchen.
By
New version - v0.3.
new option is added - if you set Count to 0 program will just display list of matching modules.

97 modules found.
download it from the first post.
have fun =)
keep on
good job man
I have an idea for next update.
Now I'm using 21874 with my wm6.1 kernel and just simple update it to 21876 is a headache. This tool helps me to convert modules fast, but I still must choose what should be converted. I'm lazyyyy. I did it for 21874 and want to REUSE my old work.
Idea is:
1. run application and choose good existing build AS TEMPLATE.
2. select new build folder and drink a cup of coffee.
3. my app will do the job - take old working build as template and prepare new build exactly the same way.
What do you think? Is there a program that already implement this feature or
I need to create it? (lazy question)
=)
When I start doing recmod the recmodefolder.exe shows this message "Do you have RecMod.exe in PATH?" and then stops.
What happens?
program is updated, list-mode added,
first post is updated
hi, friends, it seems an excerllent apps, but how can i download it? when i visit that link, it seems a Russian web, i even don't know one letter!
can you upload it rapishare ?
www.4shared.com link in the first post
useful App ,, Thanks
when selecting or specifying 1 module folder, it doesen't work for me.
It shows "RecMod 0 modules completed"
It works only using multiple (eg: *.mui).
Maybe the first prob. will be replaced by osrecmod, & ur tool for multiple files ,, LoL
------------
ANY idea of converting back file to module?

Hi,
Just want to share tools I found in order to :
- Extract SGS2 stock firmwares :
* Use sgs2toext4.jar Application from drphrozen to convert .img files to ext4.img
* Then MOUNT ans EXTRACT ext4.img with Diskinternals Linux Reader : Here
- Deodex, sign and zippalign :
with this deodex kit : _Kit_Deodexage.zip
- Create your CWM customROM (wype script)
using a Skeleton ROM : Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT.zip

Click to collapse
Nothing from me, just reporting for you
Links at the end of post (or in changeLog)
EDIT 16/08 :
1/ update of Kit_deodexage with last versions of smali/baksmali v1.2.7 to avoid LAG bug of browser
2/ add of Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT_v2.zip with a new CWM script NON WIPE
To customise the CWM script, go to Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT.zip\META-INF\com\google\android and edit updater-script with notepad ++
Step by step guide :
Preparation :
1/ Extract Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT.zip in order to have a folder with the same name (your future customROM)
2/ Extract sgs2toext4.zip to sgs2toext4.jar and put it in C:\
3/ Extract _Kit_Deodexage.zip to a folder of the same name
4/ install Diskinternals Linux Reader : Here
5/ Install Java SE Development Kit (JDK) if not already installed : Here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extracting the stock ROM :
1/ open your stock__firmware.tar with 7-zip or winRAR
2/ extract in C:\ :
factoryfs.img,
cache.img (if you have 3 tar files in your firmware, extract cache.img from CSC.tar)
modem.bin
zImage : your kernel
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Extracting KERNEL and PHONE part :
3/ put zImage and modem.bin in the root folder of : Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT (next to META_INF)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
* Extracting Factoryfs.img :
4/ Double click sgs2toext4.jar, a windows is opening :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5/ drag factoryfs.img in the sgs2converter.jar windows
factoryfs.ext4.img is created
6/ Open Diskinternals Linux Reader
Code:
> Drives > Mount Image > browse to your factoryfs.ext4.img > Mount
Then a new drive appears in the Diskinternals window, called Linux native Volume > double click on it
7/ Select all and press Save > Next > Browse to Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT/System/ check for Save directory structure and then press Next > Next > Finish
8/ In Diskinternals click Back and then right click to your Linux volume and select unmount

* Extracting cache.img :
9/ Double click sgs2toext4.jar
10/ drag cache.img in the sgs2converter.jar windows
cache.ext4.img is created
11/ Mount cache.ext4.img in diskinternals
12/ In your linux drive goto \recovery and save sec_csc.zip
Don't save it in your Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT folder
13/ Extract sec_csc.zip (same structure as an update.zip)
14/ Copy everything in /system exept /app to Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT/system
like here :
Now you can unmount and close diskinternal, we have done with extracting the ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now time to Deodex, sign and zipalign : with the _Kit_Deodexage script
1/ in Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT/system/ MOVE everything in the app folder to _Kit_Deodexage/app
3/ in Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT/system/ MOVE everything in the framework folder to _Kit_Deodexage/framework
4/ Press : Deodex_Gingerbread.cmd and it will
- deodex
- sign
- zipalign
4 bis/ edit after beginning of deodexing process the NePasSigner.txt and add samsung apps
5/ 2 folders are created : Deodex_framework and Deodex_app
6/ verify that the /app and /framework folders are empty
6/ Move everything from /Deodex_framework exept java.awt.jar to Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT/system/framework
7/ Move everything from Deodex_app to Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT/system/app
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Buid your CWM update.zip :
With WinRAR : CTRL A in your custonROM root folder and Right Click > Add to Archive > ZIP and None or Normal compression
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's all ! You have a stock customROM fully deodexed, signed and zipaligned
PS : You should change the Kernel for the CF-Root Kernel (CWM Manager ...) changing the zImage with the zImage from ChainFire CF-Root
PS 2 : You can add some apps (like Titanium backup) in the /data/app folder of your customROM
EDIT 1 : The deodexed browser.apk obtained will be bugy : Lag scrolling
Since pulser_g2 found the FIX, DEVs used an old deodexed browser.apk (from KE2 ROM for example).
So pulser_g2 foung the FIX, in order to avoid this Lag trouble using the last deodexed browser.apk (KF2 for example). You can see the How To FIX yourself the laggy browser.apk following advices from pulser_g2 in the changeLog of 07/03/2011.
EDIT 2 : just added a zip of an META_INF folder witch can be used for update over a previous deodexed customROM with same signature (a previous ROM built with the same script).
With this META_INF, you will not loose any data/cache
Credits :
Thanks to drphrozen for sgs2toext4.jar and sgs2converter.jar tools
Thanks to xeudoxus for his custom java.awt.jar (deodexing some apks without errors)
Thanks to Okarin for his Deodex script
Thanks to Pulser-g2 for the laggy Browser Fix
Thanks to omrij for showing us an alternative to _Kit_Deodexage : AutoDeoTool (see below)

ChangeLog of the HOW TO :
07/04/2011 :
* Switch bugy sgs2converter.jar to new sgs2toext4.jar from drphrozen
* Re-Add the Convert_sgs2img.exe tool to extract .img to .ext4.img (end of post)
CMD command :
Code:
Convert_sgs2img.exe factoryfs.img factoryfs_ext4.img
07/02/2011 :
Modification of _Kit_deodexage.zip in order to add the custom java.awt.jar from xeudoxus
07/01/2011 :
Add the new version of drphrozen sgs2converter.jar, available HERE
Now you just need to double click on the sgs2converter.jar, without opening any CMD promt command.
You drag and drop your stock .img file and the tool will convert it in <inputname>.ext4.img in the same folder

BONUS :
To personalise your customROM, you can change the name of the ROM shown in Parameters > Version number :
with Notepad++, open the file "\Custom_ROM GS2 by sicOpaT\system\build.prop" and look for the line beginning with : "ro.build.display.id=" (often the 4th). Example : ro.build.display.id=GINGERBREAD.XXKF2
Replace everything after the "=" with what you want. Example : ro.build.display.id=SicOpaT's ROM KF2
Then save the file
Thanks for the infor .. but what does the " - CWM GS2 Skeleton ROM (wype script) : Custom_ROM GS2 by SicOpaT.zip" do ??
anyway of getting a step by step guide.
Thanks
I've used Ubuntu until now... Testing this one

got the same problem, i took deodexed ones from other deodexedROM
Couldn't flash using cwm (maybe battery low, don't know)
better luck tomorrow I guess
How does the script take care of the Linux file permissions in Windows?
Thanks for the info.
That was some info which i was looking for the last few weeks, but mostly ended in apps that didn't work for everything.
Gonna give it a shot tomorrow.
Thnx for the info.
very well defined and this will sure help some newcomers to build thier own custom roms. you deserve a star from me !!
Thanks for this Guide!
1.) The last step would be to put the new CustomRom Folder to a Zip and flash via CWM?
...or is it a problem with signing then?
EDIT: you have to put the files back into the original ZIP!
2.) why do we have to put cache.img and modem.bin to the customrom root folder?
Thanks
Flashed via cwm 4.0.2 -> Bootloop :/
No modifications done at the moment

No you have to put :

I have forgotten wype.sh in the /system folder of the skeleton customROM.
The wype.sh will wype everything in the /data folder in order to prevent bootloops
I reuploaded the CustomROM GS2 with the wipe.sh
Thanks! Works now

i am running per instructions, trying to deodex KF2 rom. but i face problem at the deodex/sign/zipalign. after running the script file, there are still a lot of files in the "app" and "frameworks" directory. what am i doing wrong?
edit: 2nd round works, no idea why?? but left email and mobileprint, and as per you suggestion get it from another deodex rom.
This is EXACTLY the thing i was looking for since getting my SGS2 this week.
Wanted this since the Hebrew/RTL routine fixing i did on other devices needed deodexed ROMs to work (modifies framework.jar/libwebcore.so).
I'll give it a shot today or tomorrow and report back.
Either way, THANK YOU very much for the effort!
I know this is a stupid question, but where can i find my factoryfs_out.img iv done the cmd bit but cannot find the factoryfs_out.img to mount??
I made this guide because I've found that a lot of us doesn't satisfied with our current custom ROM. Please don't bully the dev to make a rom with our personal preference. You may follow this guide instead to modify the custom rom to suit with your personal taste. I hope I could make it as simple as possible so all of us so even a new android user could understand. Please make sure you've read this guide throughly before make any modification.
Please note that this is just a simple guide. You won't find any guide about theming a rom here. Please refer to another guide about uot kitchen or apk modification.

tools:
1. a custom rom (to be customized) or stock rom.
2. 7zip or another similar program
3. apk files
4. dsixda kitchen (not mandatory)
5. apktools (not mandatory)
6. titanium backup (not mandatory)
7. CWM.
First of all, extract your custom rom. You'll see that the custom rom's zip file contain several files and folders. Some of them are common and could be find in almost all custom rom. The files and folders are:
1. meta-inf : contain the script needed to install the rom (don't touch it if you don't understand about scripting nor dsixdia kitchen).
2. system : contain the system files and folder of the custom rom
3. boot.img : the kernel used in the custom rom
4. additional file : (eg:install-busybox, check-data and bmlunlock) additional file contain scripts needed to install additional feature (eg: busybox, additional app in data/app, and install custom kernel) in the custom rom.
NOTE: you can start from either stock or custom rom. If you start from stock rom, use CWM to make nandroid backup, then extract the system.rfs.tar. That's the system folder that we need later. You'll need installer script from other custom rom to make your rom installable to other device. In my past experience, the script form hybrid 2.1 or myss 3.4 is easy to use. I'd like suggest use them if you only want a light customization (without custom kernel, init.d script, or a2sd support.)

If you don't know much about them, don't touch anything but system folder. now, open the the system folder. You'll see a lot of folders and some common files. Leave CSC files and SWconfiguration intact if you don't know about them. You can edit build.prop to insert more build.prop setting or modify the content if you understand how to do it. To change the rom's name, edit the value for 'ro.build.display.id'. You may also change the value for 'ro.build.version.release' to any number like 9.9.9 if you want to show off your modified custom rom
I'll give a quick explanation about the folders in /system.
1. app : contain all the system's app
2. bin : contain the command and bin files for the rom (don't touch it)
3. cameradata : camera files
4. csc : csc files. contain dictionary for the keyboard
5. etc : additional setting and files for the rom
6. font : the fonts
7. framework : system's framework
8. lib : drivers, modules, kernel related files for the rom
9. media : media files-ringtones, notification
10. sd : folder created by a2sd darktremor. (don't touch it)
11. usr : files needed for keyboard, bluetooth, etc.
12. xbin : additional command and bin files (busybox is normally installed here)(don't touch it)
13. T9DB: dictionary and language database for swype and stock keyboard
NOTE: if you start from stock rom, copy all the files under /system folder (the one from system.rfs.tar) except /system/bin and system/xbin. don't touch them.

now, you're ready to customize the rom. I'll divide the guide into several section. pass the section if you don't want to modify it.
>>> SYSTEM APP-CUSTOMIZATION <<<
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DEODEX VS ODEXED ROM. Most of custom rom available is deodexed rom while our stock rom is half deodexed rom. I'll try to explain it in most simple way. First of all, we should understand that mostly every app in android consist of three part, *apk files, *dex/odex files, and lib files.
ODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in same folder with the apk files (/system/app). the positive side, it consume less internal memory and a execute faster. the negative side, it makes the app uncostumizable (cannot apply custom themes) and need more space in system partition.
DEODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in /data/dalvik-cache. the positive side, the app can be themed (full customizable) and consume less system partition. we could put more app in /system/app in deodexed rom. the negative side, it consume a lot of internal memory. please be cautious with the internal memory space if you use deodexed rom. (NOTE: if you start from stock rom, you may use dsixdia to convert odexed to deodexed rom).
system app customization is easy. you can add or remove any app in /system/app folder as long as it fit with the space in sistem partition (220MB). if you start from stock rom, please be cautious to not remove essential app from the folder. you may see the app in hybrid rom v.2.1 to see which app is safe to remove or not (the spreadsheet document in this forum is gone. sorry). having ~20mb free space in system partition is a good thing if you want to make the rom more customizable.
NOTE:
1. not all apk could be placed in /system/app (especially keyboard app)
2. tw launcher file is named tw'xxxxx'launcher.apk. you may remove it if you have another launcher.
3. not all custom launcerh could be placed in /system/app. you may put the launcher from other custom rom to minimalize the risk.
4. for the app info reference, please refer to this link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AulpDQBL_oTOdDRIbnV5b0UyQTd0TDNZSFBKYXJ1blE&output=html
if anyone want to edit it please contact me.

>>> THEME-CUSTOMIZATION <<<
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basicly, theme is easily changed by replacing systemUI.apk in /system/app and framework-res.apk in /system/framework. You may put theme from another custom rom or make for yourself from uot kitchen or make it by yourself with apktool. A high modified theme like dysmenorrhea is also modify some part in setting.apk and jobmanager.apk. and another app. Don't forget to delete the *odex file (for all changed app only)from /system/app if you start from stock rom.
NOTE: please be aware with the base firmware of the rom. make sure that systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files are from exact firmware version. I've found that theme for DXLA, DXLB, DXLC are exchangeable but you can't put theme from DXKL2 to DXLA or the reverse. to minimize any risk, please use themes only from exact same firmware.
>>> PERFORMANCE-TUNING <<<
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Performance tuning could be done in several ways. the easiest (proven works but risky) method is by edit build.prop file. I won't give you all the script. Feel free to search and apply the script with your personal preference. you can found in this forum or just copy from another rom. these script below is used to increase gprs/hsxdpa speed. this script is a common script and proven to be works in a lot of device. (I forgot the original source. sorry)
Code:
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
there are also some common tweaks for build.prop file. these are the one I always using in my rom.
Code:
#mod battery kats
debug.performance.tuning=1
pm.sleep_mode=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150
#mod performance
dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
persist.sys.purgeable_assets=1
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0
video.accelerate.hw=1
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
======
the second way, (little bit harder, but its still proven works) by create or modify some file in /system/etc. I'll give you some of them.
1. sysctl script-to increase internet speed.
make a new file in system/etc, name it 'sysctl.conf' (or edit if it already exist). put this script inside.
Code:
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 39000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 187000 187000 187000
net.ipv4.tcp_rfc1337 = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_fack = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1
net.ipv4.route.flush = 1
net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0
net.core.rmem_default = 524288
net.core.rmem_max = 524288
net.core.wmem_default = 524288
net.core.wmem_max = 524288
its a common sysctl mod for linux based OS (I found it in another mod for another device but I forgot the source). you'll need busybox, and terminal emulator. to run it, type:
'su
'sysctl -p
in your terminal emulator (without ' symbol).
2. GPS mod-to make the GPS lock faster
this mod is based on zeusseuz's guide. please see this page for further information (the script is quite long) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552076
======
the last way...by init.d script. it only works in custom kernel. I won't put any script here. you should find by yourself. you can use make a file in init.d with there script to check if your kernel support init.d script.
Code:
#!system/bin/sh
touch data/kurotsugi_test.txt
set the both init.d folder and the file's permission to rwxrwxrwx (777)
if the script work, you'll find kurotsugi_test.txt in /data.
======
>>> ADDITIONAL CUSTOMIZATION <<<
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'll only put the one I've tested and proven to be works.
1. beats audio
this is the old version but doesn't have FC issue. get the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526643
unzip. copy all the files into their respective folder
2. bravia engine
put be_photo and be_movie in system/etc folder then edit the build.prop file doesn't seems work. The real bravia engine mod is consist of
- be_photo, be_movie in /system/etc
- com.sonyericsson.android.SwIqiBmp.xml in /system/etc/permission
- com.sonyericsson.android.SwIqiBmp.jar in /system/framework
my megabassbeat mod contain these files. you can get it from there.
3. boot animation
download or get custom boot animation file from another custom rom or another source. rename it to bootanimation.zip, put it on /system/media.
you may check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548479
please note that DXLB rom doesn't support bootanimation. you need to put bootanimation and samsungani files from another rom (like hybrid) in /system/bin and replace all file in /system/lib with lib files from older firmware (DXLA or older)
4. boot sound
make or download boot sound. please make sure the format is *ogg. rename it to poweron.ogg then put it in /system/etc.
5. custom ringtones, notification,
make or download the sound file (in ogg format). put it in /system/media/audio/(respective folder)
6. disable boot animation (for quick boot)
put 'debug.sf.nobootanimation=1' in build.prop.
7. megabassbeats (better than beat bass)
you can get the file from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646406. you'll need to copy the files into its respective folder.
If you've done with the customization, enter the custom rom folder. select all the files then create zip file. to install the rom, copy to your sdcard, flash it either by stock recovery or CWM after wipe /data. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE FILES DOESN'T EXCEED THE LIMIT 220MB BEFORE ZIPPED.
This guide can be used if you want to make your own rom. if you start from stock rom, you may use this script (its from myss v.3.4) to install the rom. please make note that it will only install the rom, not the kernel. you'll still need the bin and xbin folder from custom roms in order to make it work.

DISCLAIMER:
1. do it with your own risk
2. please note that NOT ALL YOUR MODIFICATION WILL WORK. ROM modification is seriously hard thing. its not easy. thats why we should give the dev proper respect to them. you'll need a lot of research to make it work.
3. this guide is made for personal use only. don't publish the customized rom without permission from the original dev.

good work dude
have done a lot of homework lol
excellent work bro !!
very informative.....really appreciate your work
thanks alot .
Wonderful thread. Can you give tutorials on how to recompile framework-res.apk with apktools? I always end up with lots of warnings regarding translations and end up with an apk which is about half the size as the original. And lots of force closes once it is pushed

Sorry...I'm just a chemistry student and consider my self as a noob here. I never use apktool before and only use 7zip, notepadd++ and simpel graphic editor program to modify an apk files (only light theming). its a lot of simpler and easy for a mid user like me.

hey
I can provide you the tutorial for framework and system ui apks
with apktool for sgy
I think you are trying to make your themes
if that is I will provide the tutorial tommorow
if you need it
why don't you PM repencis? the setting.apk in repencis v3 changed a lot from the original one. I thought he could help you.
EDIT: thedeadlycoder seems already have the solution for you
Hahaha indeed he does! @deadlycoder I am anticipating your pm soon

Very useful thread.Thanks
How can i confirm my init.d is working?is there any specific command for terminal emu :
su
init.d check (myb?) or with init.rc etc installed would be enough to prove it is working?
previously i tried init d-autorun-stock to my stock rom but not confident with tht method.Found [Script] init.d for STOCK ROM thread n member report its worked.
Thanks in adv.
thats a good question. please note that some of init.d script doesn't work in our device even if the script is running. stamatis's battery n performance script is one example. because of some script in init.rc (in kernel) it never change the value for RAM setting. to check the init.d script you may make a new file in init.d script. name it stest, put these script
\system\etc\init.d\99test
#!/system/bin/sh
touch /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
echo "done" >> /data/local/tmp/init.d_log_test.txt
these script is made by doky73. if the init.d script works, you'll find 'init.d_log_test.txt' file in /data/local/tmp/ . init.d scipts need busybox don't forget to install it in your device
Kurotsugi
What is the correct permission for 99test?is it same like the others=777?
no problem if i change through root explore right?my device deny the latest version
of busybox 19.4 is this due to old su binary?19.3 will do right?
yup...thats fine. as long as the system could read it, the script will run at boot (if only it really support init.d scipt). any busybox version is OK as long as you have the binary files needed (in this case echo and touch). in my past experience, only vivek's kernel proved to support init.d script. I forgot the version. but its the last version without CWM integration.

Kurotsugi..Thank u so much.I agree with u.Init.d script will only work with some kernel only.It is kernel dependent.My 1st attempt with stock kernel failed then

well...thanks for everyone here and this forum which help me learned a lot of stuff about android much faster. sgy is my first android device and I've only been using it for three months. with everyone help and information here I could make my own custom rom about one month ago. it sure nice to share about our sgy here :3
Wow! This seems really helpful and very useful thread. It gives me an eye opener.. Thanks!
