how do I run this build off SD card??? I downloaded "androidinstall.tgz" from incubus's thread and I got the basefiles which includes haret and other necessary files. But when I run haret after couple of lines it says system.img not found.
I did put the androidinstall.tgz in the root of SD card!!! I have read the guide on how to boot using haret but new builds doesn't not have system.img files anymore. Can somebody please shed some light on this?
Sorry for the noob question!! I need to run it off SD coz I need to have WinMo as well.
The guide you read was out-of-date, the more recent system now requires that the androidinstall.tgz/tar goes in the andboot folder with all the haret files.
If you are running from SD your card root should have one folder, no files.
If you would like an alternative and more recent guide to using Android on Haret then may I suggest you have a look at the one in my Polymod thread, post #3 has a quick guide to running Haret installs, it's mostly geared to running Polymod, but should be useful for other Haret installs also
( Link in my sig ).
Is there a method of creating an update.zip from a nandroid backup that you have stored onto your sdcard? can you take its contents and put it into an update.zip or something?
thanks!
Using the Android Kitchen you can create ROMs from backups. I haven't used it in about a year and only with the Eris but thats the way I did it a number of times. You can also take pretty much any ROM and modify it to your hearts content and create a personalized update.zip of that ROM of your own.
Android Kitchen thread

Ok so I've cooked my own ROM using dsixda's kitchen based on the stock euro 2.13.401.3 RUU.
I added apps2sd functionality and got it all working lovely, but have added a few apps after first boot - so there is data and SD cards ext2 partition.
I want to update the ROM to include as standard these .apk's so I followed the guide in the kitchen thread to unpack system.img and boot.img using the kitchen from a nandroid backup (CWM latest version)
My question is to pull the additional apps into my working ROM do I just copy and paste from the sd-ext.ext2.tar and place in /system/app or are there other files I need to copy over from the unpacked system.img?
Or is this just a complicated/convoluted way of doing things and is it better to rebuild my ROM from scratch before I flash to the phone and instigate apps2sd?
Many thanks

Anyone shed any light please???

Hello guys.
Since it's my first post so i hope this's can usefull and can help my problem.
Did you all see thread this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461712 It's aroma installer that can build custom rom with UI in recovery mode (if no mistake) and success in htc device. From this forum i know that sgy have dev and mod that success to build rom, recovery, and now MAROK kernel. It's sound good if we can build in with the installer to make our device more better.
So, is there any dev or mod try or start to this stuff to build our device?
You know that i'm newbie in android device, but i've start to learn the installer and make some modification (just a little part) and you know it's not easy to develop something if we are a newbie.
After i read about android i know that i must have tools to help us, so i've start to download any stuf to help me. Some of my tool that i have in my PC are cygwin, dsixda kitchen, apk manager, xUltimate, notepad++, 7zip, winrar, jre 6.22, jdk 6.20, microsoft.netframework 2 and 4 client user, and window xp sp2.
Is there any tools that i should have to help me playing with my device?
From all stuff that i have so far only xUltimate can give me best result for deodex. But to applied to my device in recovery mode i use tool that develop from other member like pratyuse, shuvit_kaskuser, skin, and the newest is marok. Thanks to you all guys and other that i've forget
Sory if this post is annoying you all and thanks to make me more better with this forum.
wow...you're so serious dude. I'm only using CWM, root explorer, titanium backup and a base custom ROM to make my own custom ROM (lol). btw, a deodex ROM will use a lot of internal memory. It isn't a mighty feature that every ROM must have. I thought we should use it wisely.

I just read all bout android and don't know what should i do so i've try all of method for customize my device.
deodex In original stock of course it's will be more use internal memory but i've delete some app that i don't need. only some app can't deodex with xultimate.
I wanna make my device simple n fast. and of course wanna try aroma installer too.
well...this is what I do for compiling a new ROM. I'm definetely not a dev so I can't start with a raw project. I started from a custom ROM (in my case, its myss v.3.4. you may use other one. Repencis doesn't work in my test thought). we need these custom rom only to install our ROM in our device so basicly we can use any custom ROM. after that I customize my stock ROM with root explorer and titanium backup. I use root explorer to put some apps in /system/app and editing script. I like a light ROM which consume minimum internal memory so I use titanium backup to integrate dalvik cache into /system/app. after all customization on my stock ROM, I create a nandroid backup with CWM. extract it. then replace anything in my base custom ROM except /system/bin and /system/xbin. these two folder is related to kernel and the installer script so basicly I didn't do anything on them except removing any a2sd script. the last step, repack all the files into *zip file and flash it via cwm.
for customizing the theme, we can use UOT kitchen or recompile framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk manually via eclipse or just replacing the files inside with 7zip. we may also put another bootanimation.zip in /system/media to change the bootscreen and put bootsound.ogg in /system/etc for the bootsound.
for everything we do, we should make sure the size is fit with our system partition. thats the reason why I customize my stock ROM manually via rootexplorer. I just want to make sure that the my customization is fit with my system partition and work properly. I thought our system partition is 220 mb but make sure you give some space for later modification.
well...thats all. I'm not saying that I really make a new custom ROM. It's more like recompile another ROM with my personal taste. a fresh installation of mine is only use about 3.4 mb internal ROM.

Same case with me, i'm not dev so i just compile any trick from other. But i always start from stock rom (i use dxlb1) then i modified as i like to make my device at least not brick. Anyway your method sound nice just 3.4MB fresh installation in internal and maybe sometime i will try.
I now there's many method to customize device but we (as newbie) still confuse with the step and tools are needed. Some method doesn't work even we doing step by step right because of different case or maybe some forget guide from the source.
In my opinon, can moderator give us guide or compilation how to customize device because i didn't see that thread in sgy forum (hope i'm not wrong) or maybe just link reference. Of course must put in faq or ultimate tutorial because this is just for newbie.
there's also a negatif effect of using full odexed ROM. it takes a lot of space in /system. in my case, I remove all bloatware and useless app and got only 20-15 mb free space in /system. btw, if you want to see which app is safe to removed, you may see hybrid ROM app list. he remove almost everything in this ROM (lol). I thought we can't put a tutorial for compiling a ROM. it would be huge and difficult to understand for a noob (just like me). you should PM'ed the dev to teach you how to make a custom ROM.
Aroma Installer can use on SGY..
