Hello to all,
i want try to make my self my perfect rom and after share my works with all community but...how??i'm a newbie of android but i'm a webdevelopper and so i know very well about development of application.
Can anyone give me a tutorial or a how to guide to make my personal rom?
Thanks to all!
the first step is to get a rom zip and without changing the "compress" mode....see the files and folders, remove apps, add yours, frameworks etc....if you want more download the dsixda kitchen (you need linux)

Head to the chefs sub-forum here on xda and make sure to read the links in the stickies!
For example I want to remove some apps from a Rom, I have extracted the Rom with astro, Is wrong?
I have latest ubuntu on virtualbox, is ok?

Hello
I did find new effect, I don't know if it is already known to others but I did search about it and find nothing.
Anyhow, I named it "Sliding Window Effect"
To see the sliding window effect !! here is it on youtube:
http://youtu.be/NeVrvoo8jO4
How to do this Mod:
Decompile SystemUI.apk
Open SystemUI\res\values\bools.xml
Search for
Code:
<bool name="config_useCaptureView">false</bool>
Change it to
Code:
<bool name="config_useCaptureView">true</bool>
Now Compile it and enjoy this effect
BTW this Mod will be added to my Kitchen in the next ver.

Been using this for a while but haven;t included it in my rom since it breaks manual brightness adjustment. I'm in the process of making a toggle for it.

Think your missing the signature of the apk, best to copy the classes.dex, reaources.arsc and the res folder over from the compiled apk to the original SystemUI.apk that you have

Do it again but before starting you need to install framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk Plz write your future issues to the kitchen thread so that others will benefit from the answers.

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:

If I can give any more details please let me know
And thanks a alot for the effort
I appriciate it

In fact you must update edify with the zip from the rom you are currently using... I don't know the vanilla rom, in what is it special?

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...

Good day,
How did you deodex? Did you let the kitchen do the work for you? Because judging by the file stamps, unless you have a very fast PC (all re-packaged in a minute or two), looks to me like the odex files were just plain deleted, and thus all your .apk's and .jar's are broken.
Also, which Kitchen are you using? I am only aware of two...one works in Windows (via cygwin) but is now obsolete and unmaintained (dsixda), the other is Linux only (Archi).

Hello thank for the answer i use Universal Deodexer V5
For exemple i place the folder system app with the odex and the apk and after i launch the universal deodexer and after in the folder "done" i found the odex files and i put that in my rom ! Is that?
I use just kitchen (cygwin) for compil my rom !! And i can't use Archi because i don't have linux !
Thank for you futur answer

Would be "found the apk/jar files", but that that would be it.
Looking at the changelog for the current version...
Code:
V5
-->Re-wrote the entire tool from scratch (improved code, more efficient and professional code)
-->Added KitKat support
Nothing is said about Lollipop, except in yesterday's post, same project thread.
So that would be your reason. Lollipop support just isn't there for that program.
Also, just curious ... did you have a successful ROM build previous to attempting deodex with cygwin kitchen?

You have to rename all folders "x86" to "arm" (including the x86 folder in system / framework). I worked out great
