Can someone devedioise it & put it into simple terms?

Wow great work!
Though I wish the videos had higher quality (720p) so it would be clearer, but I wont complain since it seems that you put much effort in this

Interesting... is this what Doc, Darky, Webstar and other rom modders do ?

That's Awesome

Definitely worth a subscription!

Only 1 question: how to optimize png's??

Thanks for the awesome work.

With this materials available, one can start exploring and dissecting the rfs files.
Go ahead and try, it's Christmas anyway...
If I can, I will try to answer questions here. I'm no expert but I can try.

i second that, becuase here youtube is blocked (china).

Thank you Nokia7Vista-this is GREAT present for Xmas
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

very very thank bro hihi oh my god

Now my second try to point out an obvious mistake that obviously nobody else noticed: If you overwrite the whole META-INF folder with the one of a theme, you could upload the theme in the first place as this folder contains the updater-script.
@OP: Can you please upload your update.zip so that we can see if it works?
OT: It's very interesting that your posts get moved to a troll thread if you point out a mistake.

[Q] Need help regarding stock rom customization

Uhhm ok first of all I'm not a 'PRO' at android manipulations or something, just an average xda guy, so please be friendly ...
I was thinking if is there a way that I can make my stock rom function like custom roms? Like have what most custom roms have to offer? I read that stock is always better than custom...
Also like my stock can have tweaks to lengthen batt life, make it faster eventhough its just stock. And also have tweaks like MegaBassBeats etc. just wondering since idk if I can flash those directly on stock.
PS. Im currently using Hybrid v4
You can follow kurotsugi thread to create custom rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590330
I always use stok rom and customize with some tweak, modify infitrams in kernel and add another work from other but still love to use stok kernel.

That thead made after i custom my rom. Lol.
But kurotsugi more better than me to write and his progres very awsome n more advance than me.
Actualy just use rootexplorer, titanium backup, cwm, and winrar in window enough for minimalis customize.
if you don't want to make an installable rom, you can skip that part. you can go directly for customizing section. you can follow chamatht post about deodexing apk's.
PS: thanks savie, but I'm not as good as savie have said. I'm just another noob here

sir what do you mean if I dont want to make an installable rom? and which part do I skip? I just want to make a rom or just customize stock rom and let it have maybe the following:
-bravia engine
-megabassbeats
-v6 and [email protected] support
-deodex (still thinking about it, since it looks kinda hard)
-merruk kernel (I think I read somewhere that it is ok with stock rom? not sure)
those are currently my target for this project... is it possible to have those on (modified) stock rom sir?
Edit: I just read your guide sir, and I think I can do it (I think), so I can customize an existing rom that I have now and put bravia engine + megabassbeats etc. on it? Btw, I have a ccopy of chobits rom so I have the files, your guide says "put be_photo and be_movie in system/etc folder then edit the build.prop" what do I put in build.prop to make it work?

you can go straight to the customization. see add_build.prop.sh inside megabassbeat. that is the script that you should add.

so the add_build.prop.sh I just copy paste the contents to build.prop? or is it supposed to be a separate file that I should just paste somewhere on system folder?

don't copy all the script. you'll need to copy the string and value for build.prop file. if you don't know which one should be copied you can use this one. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zf40rush0bdj1u2

[WIP]Bootanimation Pure Android

WEll, i'm back with another boot animation!
This time it is like, pure android, but i have to say, part0 can be made smoother and part1 is probably getting a complete new look (thats why WIP), but for now; is it this. Look in the atrachment for a screenshot, but there happens alot more I don't know what is on the screenshots right now, bcuz I picked them random, so dont blaim me if there's a black screen as screenshot
How to install:
Use file explorer with root acces:
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to your sd
2. Copy it from SD to /system/media
3. Replace it with original bootanimation.zip
4. Reboot and enjoy
Small update is out: just add and removed some frames and maked it faster
Thanks to iok1!! For making flashable .zip, see his post on this page at the bottom, and please hit thanks on that post, thanks!
EDIT: Well, not the best screenshots.... But you guys have to do it with it if you'd like to see how it looks, just install the bootanimation.zip from the attrachment in the way i have told you here ^ (most know it, but just telling LOL)
thanks very nice i like it

I'm pretty sure you haven't even downloaded it. You keep writting non-sens posts only for writing. Stop it, because people think you are SPAMMER. And it is true. You won't have great reputation here by spamming...
I've downloaded and installed so say anything until you're sure
Ok then, but you can't disagree with me you are trying to get more posts
Why is this a wip? Need help buddy? I'll gladly help/assist you but will be busy on Sunday.

[ROM][Stock] AT&T Jelly Bean 4.1.1 [DLK3][22 Feb 2013]

I noticed that there aren't any recovery flashable stock ROM images available,
(at least that I could find) so I made one.
This is based on stock AT&T Jelly Bean 4.1.1 [DLK3] firmware and is rooted,
busyboxed, deodexed and has init.d support.
Devs and cooks, feel free to use this as a base for your ROMs.
(be sure to give me some credit on your OP)
Install script only wipes cache and Dalvik.
As always, flash at your own risk!!!

Nice Job my friend always good to have a backup stock Rom Thanks for sharing.:good:
thanks bud
Thanks for making a separate thread for this, it's helpful. It should be known that enewman17 has the completely stock rom with root available in his thread as well as that used to be the purpose of his thread before creating his own custom rom in both odexed and de-odexed forms. For those who want the odexed form, please head to his thread. It's probably best to have this thread here separate though as it is easier to find for those who need it.
I searched before posting...I swear!
Also, for everyone I have a bunch of mods posted I'm my thread for use with the stock ROM.
It it's a good idea to have this posted separate, mine are hard to find.

I'm not trying to hound you your intentions are good and this thread is a good idea. enewman17 has a bunch of extras in his too. Sharing is caring! Besides, you took your time to make this yourself. Anybody who is new and wanting the stock ROM wouldn't know where to look but now they should have no problem. Thanks again, to both of you.

No need to reply to the entire OP...
Thanks for saying something. The Goo file is wrong.
I just checked the MD5 with a utility and the Dev Host file is correct.
I have experienced several problem with files from Goo recently. This is the final straw. I will not host with them again.
Thanks again!
___________________
Everyone, if you downloaded the file from Goo please delete it and download from Dev Host.
I hope all of you routinely check the MD5 of your downloads.
There is a free utility here that I use.
Re: [Warning][ROM][Stock] AT&T Jelly Bean 4.1.1 [DLK3][22 Feb 2013]
Sorry for my reply methods, my bad - I posted kind of quick and didn't look back at it afterwards (didn't know it copied the entire first post, I hit reply not quote!). Anyway, I did verify the MD5 after the download and as I downloaded from Devhost first due to the much faster transfer speeds anyway it was good. I just wanted to bring it up while I was thinking about it as I knew something was awry.
Thanks for the hook up on an easy rooted stock flash for us all!

Some of you have expressed an interest in making a donation even though I don't want them (thanks ).
But if any of you have a few bucks to spare, we have a fellow xda member that could really use the money right now.
Please don't post saying that you donated since I don't want anyone to feel obligated to do it, or feel uncomfortable if they don't. Just be happy knowing you helped someone in need. Thanks!

Thank you for the flashable stock rom this is very useful! Could you please upload DLK3 baseband cwm flashable please? I know this baseband improves signal and it was not included in the rom.
appreciate it ! Thanks bud !
On a side note Up,
I got a nice basic ROM done last night and added a few things I figured I could do myself to start out with like AOSP messaging and the remove the wifi notification, few more.
Went to flash and for the "3 args looking for 4" error. So I figured it out that I needed to pull the updated-script from a working ROM and replace the one that was in my ROM. Is this standard. I used this base, so did I do the update-script step incorrectly or miss another step ? Vague question I know... still a newbie haha

"FIXED"
no worries, guys. i made it work by copy/pasting the two apks in "system/app" Thanks for the APKs thought :cookie:
The First Link was the ODEXED ones which Means it is the original,pure original and not modified..
The Second Link was the DE-ODEXED, which is modified, you can search the topics using the search button why de-odexed..
The installation of this files are not Normal installation but you need to go to "system/app" folder like what koragg97 has done and set permissions to r-w-r-r..
Search before posting some problems, because it is answered in other topic,just use the search button provided to us.
Please hit thanks button if I shared a little help.
