Hello,
I am wondering how i can compile all the parts of a rom using winzip. i have done modding everything to the rom and will test it out, then upload it to the DEV section. please help me. winzip is not accepting my folder add option but just files.
Thank you so much!
Here is more info, when I add the files to the Roms zip file, it does not allow adding the full folders such as system folder but only single files in it. The file boot could be transferred.
You cant just add mods to the framwork ect before flashing you will end up with a bootloop, you have to decompile the apk's like framework-res.apk, modify them and recompile ..... you should use winrar not winzip in any case

Thanks for your time What about if i did a theme on a online kitchen and i have to use that framework-res.apk instead of the original? than what do i do? Or do i really need to change it?
thanks again!
I created a Custom rom using dsixda kitchen and all the roms work fine until i deodex them and add su permissions the rom doesnt boot and if use the boot.img file after building the custom rom i get a Status 7 error for the tmp\boot.img file
i reffered some sites it says this is a problem with the updater-script
can someone help me out with this error
yup...the problem comes from the updater script. you need to replace the updater script with the modified one. if you need to install only the rom (without the kernel) you can find one in my post. check my sig about customizing a rom. if you want to install the kernel you need to modify the script used to install the kernel. the other way, you can install the kernel separately with faqbly or mai77's method.

boot.img is for kernel and you can install it after installing ur rom... and yes, wenever u deodex ur rom it will show bootloop so u can manually deodex ur rom, if u add su permissions then nothing would happen.. another solution to make deodexed rom to work could be by replacing the META-INF from another rom. u can make ur kernel work by copying the META-INF from a rom which has custom kernel in it
SOURCE:i hav tried all this
I have installed the roms without the kernel but the problem is i want it to be deodexed and if i build a rom which is deodexed without the boot.img file the phone is stuck at the samsung galaxy y boot screen
can u put up a detailed explanation on how to make custom roms and all plz i really need help
i have reffered a lot of post but the only working method was of dsixda kitchen and
the roms only boot if i just rename it and build it if i add any su or deodex the phone doesnt boot

Thanks for the help i will try it out
and another thing can u insert the uot kitchen theme to the custom rom without acctualy having to flash it again and again from the recovery
don't forget to clean your dalvik-cache after install your rom. in most cases it can causes bootloop if the dex file isn't match with the apk file.

after getting the modded files from UOT kitchen u can directly flash them... no need of reflashing the rom..
I will try that and is the only solution to get rid of the bootloop caysed by deodexing

Open zip folder you got after modding the files after that copy those files and replace the stock files with them for
eg: moded.zip>app>xxx.apk ---copy
customrom.zip>app> ---- paste and replace the old files
tried that already i get stuck at the main flash screen
thanks anyways

Sometime not all application can deodex in my case with ultimate deodex samsung keyboard n email can deodex. But when i try with dsixda kitchen email app can deodex.
Sent from my GT-S5360
^ he is right.. some apps cant be deodexed.. try installing the rom with no special features except su... then keep adding features one by one... dont put the modded files from UOT directly before flashing the custom rom cuz sometimes they can also lead to bootloop... first check whether ur rom is booting or not and then all kind of stuffs
if you replace the theme you 'must' clean your dalvik cache. please make sure that you also have delete systemUI.odex file in /system/app.
Can someone give a real detailed explanation on how to create a fll custom including themes in the rom and how to create kernel for that particular rom
and how to fix the status 7 bug even with other custom rom's lernel i get the same status 7 error some one plz help
and also how do i deodex without getting stuck for a bootloop
check my sig. you can also visit hell_lock's post about make a rom from kitchen. the only one method to solve your error 7 problem is by using meta-inf folder from other custom rom. for deodexing method you can see chamatht's post about how to deodex system app and framework.

thanks for the reply but these are the two posts fom where i actually learned creating rom and hell_lock also had this status 7 problem
so guys using meta inf from other rom should be done after building the whole rom or during the working folder step
you can find a meta-inf folder in my post you can use that instead if you only want to install the rom without the kernel.
Thanks dude but when i add the meta inf folder during zipalign there is a error and guys i got go launcher ex as the launcher but it is not the default one i get an option to choose and i remember that i deleted the launcher.apk file
And the alarm is missing in my phone after installing this rom

Hello Guys,
I want to change the softkeys on my nexus 4.
I have did it before in older android versions and it worked great.
Intresting enough,
On kitkat I'm having trouble changing the softkeys.
After updating Edify successfully
I can't seem to load the softkeys zip file.
It says:
SKIPPED://system/app/SystemUIapk was not found
WARNING: update.zip would be empty -- not creating one!
I've changed the xml path as follows:
from:
<path>/system/app/</path>
to:
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
according to the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...pthemer-to-flash-themes-stock-t2202482/page11
and then he says:
can't find control file ...
Guys please advise,
Would much appriciate it.
Thanks a lot!
Or in other words ....
How do I change the softkeys on kitkat?
Thanks.
somebody can help please?

Hi, yes we can help, but keep patient ^^
I'm the OP of the thread you linked, and if you tried to change the xml, you certainly saw the latest messages.. Another member had the same problem and I just changed the xml file, it worked good, are you sure you've done it correctly (I'm not insulting you but, you know...)

If you upload the zip you are trying to edit then I can take a look to see what's wrong :good:
Thanks for the responses guys!
I'm not insulted I'm just human and I can make mistakes so everything is cool
I'll ellaborate all the steps that I did so it will be easier for you guys to help me.
I've entered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t2005937
Chose Stock Reflect ICS BLUE theme for the nexus 4.
When entering the link
I've downloaded MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eglqkhlw...k Reflect Blue/MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
I've extrected the file locally and receive two things:
1) MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.xml
2) SystemUI folder which contains other things underneath.
The xml file before the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>
<rom>ICS / JB</rom>
<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
The xml file after the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
After the change I've compiled the xml and the folder together to a new zip file.
In my nexus 4,
I downloaded ZipThemer
Downloaded the newest CM rom and transfered it to my phone.
Inside ZipThemer I've updated the edify using the CM rom file
and the output was success.
Here's a link for my updated zip file:
Code:
http://speedyshare.com/TVepR/MMZT-softkeys-stockreflect.rar
If I can give any more details please let me know
And thanks a alot for the effort
I appriciate it

Hey mate,
It's not a rom,
It's the stock android that we have on nexus devices ...
What you get from system update through the phone
Over the air android.
Oh I thought the vanilla was the name of a special rom...
Anyway, try the attached file. But make a full non-droit backup, we don't always know what happens...
