[GUIDE] How to mod your stock ROM

Overview
This is my second GUIDE post. My first GUIDE explains how to compile the kernel from source. Follow that guide first before reading on. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516051
This guide will get you started on how to modify your file-system (ROM). I will go over some examples of changing your phone functionality to show you how things are done. After that it is up to you to change what ever you want.
This first post will contain general information and requirements. The 2nd post will have guides on how to modify the initramfs. The 3rd post will have example modifications of the ROM.
These instructions work for both T989 (T-Mobile) and I727 (AT&T) variants of the Samsung Galaxy S2 phones. I do not take any credit for these instructions. I am just gathering what I learned from other posts and articles. I have listed the references below.
Requirements
The following instructions assumes you are using Ubuntu. I am using version 10.10.
ADB Setup
Android Debug Bridge (ADB) is a command line tool that allows you to command your phone via a USB connection. This requires you to turn on "USB debugging" on your phone. To do this on your phone goto Settings->Applications->Development. Make sure "USB debugging" is checked.
To get ADB and setup the USB driver go here: http://esausilva.com/2010/05/13/setting-up-adbusb-drivers-for-android-devices-in-linux-ubuntu/
Java Setup
In order to change the functionality of your Android system you will sometimes need to edit the jar/apk files. To do this you will need the Java Development Kit (JDK). Install the JDK with this:
Code:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

How To Modify Initramfs
If you ever flash any of the custom ROM released by the great developers found in this forum you should be familiar with the terms "insecure kernel" and "init.d support." With an "insecure kernel" you can easily root your phone by bypassing the security through using ADB. With "init.d support" you can make automatic scripts to run at bootup. Both of these features require you to modify your initramfs.
In this post I will show you how to modify your initramfs to enable these features and in the future I will add more examples here.
If you do not know what a initramfs is or where to get it then you need to read my first GUIDE here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516051
Insecure Kernel
An insecure kernel allows ADB as root and commands like "adb remount" to enable write mode for your system. To make an insecure kernel it is a matter of modify the file "default.prop" in your initramfs. Open up this file with a text editor and change the line
Code:
ro.secure=1
to
Code:
ro.secure=0
After you make the change recompile the kernel with the modified initramfs using my kernel building guide. If you search in the forums there are guides on how to use your insecure kernel to root your phone.
Change Boot Image
In the initramfs folder you will find "initlogo.rle" This is the logo that appears during boot. You can replace this with a custom image as long as the format is compatible. When I have time, I will post the programs to convert from "rle->raw->png" and back "png->raw->rle" (search for "from565" and "to565").
Init.d Support
TODO (Sorry I have been really busy lately. I'll post this as soon as I get some free time. Basically you need to modify "init.rc" in your initramfs directory)

Introduction to Modifying ROM
In this post I will explain how to modify your stock ROM to include features like "volume wake-up" and more.
Getting your stock ROM
First we need to get a copy of your ROM. I found the easiest way to get this is to flash ClockworkMod and doing a backup of your phone to an external sd card. Connect your phone to your computer and grab the file called "system.ext4.tar" in your backup folder. This is your filesystem or ROM. Extract it to a working folder.
If you do not have ClockworkMod, please search the forums for instructions. ClockworkMod is a replacement for your default "Recovery" partition.
System folders
Here is a walkthrough of the folder structure of the system:
app\ - folder containing your apps (apk)
bin\ - folder containing binary executables
csc\ - consumer software customization, contains the software packages specific to your carrier
etc\ - system configurations
fonts\ - fonts folder
framework\ - folder containing android core files
lib\ - folder containing libraries (like .dll in windows) and modules (drivers)
media\ - folder containing media files
T9DB\ - looks like it contains keyboard layouts
tts\ - text to speech
usr\ - user settings
vsc\ - ????
xbin\ - alternate folder to hold binary executables???
build.prop - android settings file
CSCFiles.txt - carrier specific configuration file???
CSCVersion.txt - Configuration version???
SW_Configuration.xml - List of version numbers
The folders with question marks I am not sure of. If you know please post them here and I will update the list.
Understanding Odex and Deodex
Before getting your hands dirty, you need to know what odex and deodex means. Here is a good article on the issue: http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/m...n-the-all-inclusive-explanation/#.T1f7BN7Km9V
Remove Apps
All of your stock apps are in the "app" directory. You can remove all the bloat apps from this directory if you like.
Change Android Settings
You can modify "build.prop" in you system directory to change different Android settings. You can read more about the different settings here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...imus-3d/145592-tweaks-scripts-collection.html
Volume Wakeup
This volume wakeup guide was adapted from these two guides: http://www.jordanhotmann.com/2011/08/how-to-change-default-orientation-of.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18226553
In this guide I will show you how to modify your system files to allow waking up your phone with the volume keys instead of just the power key. This will prolong the life of the power key.
Requirements
This mod requires an edit to a jar file (Java archived file), specifically the file "/system/framework/android.policy.jar." To do this we need some tools that will disassemble the jar or apk file so we can edit the source code. After that we need to assemble it back and overwrite the original file(s).
Download the 4 files located here (smali-1.3.2.jar, baksmali-1.3.2.jar, baksmali, and smali): http://code.google.com/p/smali/downloads/list
Put the 4 files in a folder which is included in your path. For example, I placed the files in my home directory under a folder called bin (~/bin). Then in my ".bashrc" file I have this call at the end of the script:
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
This allows you to make calls to "baksmali" and "smali" in any directory.

To Do List
- How to make ClockworkMod flashable ROM. I have no clue how to do this. I always modify my ROM in place using "root explorer" and/or ABD, so I have never needed to flash a new one. It would be great if someone can post a guide on how to do this. Thanks.
*Update - See post #7. Thanks to one5
- How to modify cpu voltage and frequency
- How to change boot animation
My Request
I am still very new to all of this and android in general. I learned everything I posted here from reading other guides and articles on the internet and this forum. Through my searching, I found that the information on this stuff are there but very spread out making it very hard to find. This is why I started these guides to help out noobs like me. A central place where all the T989 (and I727, didn't forget you guys) noobs can come to learn.
I thank anyone for thanking me but my goal is to not get my "thank you" meter up. All I ask is if you learn something in regards to android development, please post up a GUIDE so everyone can benefit.
Also, my last request is if you see any errors or optimization to my steps please leave a note and I will change them.
Thank you.

How to make ClockworkMod flashable ROM
To make a flashable ROM:
Make a folder to dump the files from your phone, for example a folder named ROM on your desktop.
From CMD: adb pull / C:\Users\(yourusername)\Desktop\ROM
Download AutoUpdateCreator
Open CreateUpdateZip.exe and follow the directions.
Your ROM will be added to the generatedZips folder.

one5,
Thanks for the guide on making the ROM flashable.

If your on the stock T-mobile ICS update, just root it with the oden method. If your on one of the roms on here than you probably are already insecure.

Guides are indeed very helpful and this looks like a good one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that any thread in development had to involve coding. It had to provide something that can be flashed or installed. IMHO, guides and tutorials; in general. Questions, of course Q&A. Apps and themes, pretty self explainetary. Development, all that is done thru coding involving Android and is flashable

Agreed my friend but I've noticed that on many forums guides may go under development and even get stickied in some cases. Just saying the scope is just a bit more wide than flashables and code oriented posts... TheRe should be a section just for guides I think that would make it really easy to find guides anyway... Peace threadjack over .

[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.

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

1.Root
2.Fully installed Busybox
3. Windows computer

Mine is working, if you got some errors during the load process, I need to know.
If thing to do is check your symlinks and make sure that they are all there for busybox.
Use this to check your symlinks:https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInN0ZXJpY3Nvbi5idXN5Ym94Il0.
If any one is missing, it could stop the install process.

On the thing about our kernel supporting init.d, the answer is not currently and that is why we have to use this program. It will allow compatibility with our kernel to have init.d.

The busbox is ok.
I can run it rom my terminal on the phone as well as adb shell.
There were no errors during installation.
Edit:
I ran the script again today.
The init.d works. the 99test did create a file in /data/local/tmp.

INIT.D installed. Excellent! Now to look up some tweaks. You da man Popfan.

Running it at 50% is pretty good also. The script will at least zipalign, check for proper permissions on all apps, clean the delvik-cache, and reorganize the task manager priorities and also your ram manager settings. You should try the battery calibration script that is there also, it is really nice.

Script manager is easiest. Don't forget to use as root for all those scripts.

I did forget that it will also allow for a powershift, so you can change your settings on the fly if you need more multitasking capabilities than power savings or more power.

It does not look like the latest CWM that I put will be compatible with the extra mods, after I put the cwm together and flashed it bricked my phone. I have put my phone back to where it was before the modifications for the ICS supercharger (the service.jar and service.odex modded part) and works just fine without the additional mods, but I don't think I am going to try to mod the phone again (wife will get mad at me if I hard brick my phone).

you may first run the script with the smanager and it will automatically save profile of the script.
you can then go to menu>list and search for the profile and enable su and boot options.
this will make the script applied everytime on boot.
oh, and make sure you have su access on the smanager app.

thanx man
works great....awesome
cheers

It should work on every ROM since it only alters some kernel parameters.
BTW: Are there any disadvantages using this?

Hi ! I'm using V6 Supercharger and Thunderbolt Scripts, will this work for me ? Thanks

Yes you can use this with v6 supercharger and thunderbolt scripts but to take better effect,
you'll have to disable ALL other scripts like i mentioned in the first post.

[MOD][5/10/13] Add init.d support to your ROOTED S4

First off, I did not come up with this idea but I adapted it from smokin1337 and his thread: [MOD] EZ InitD - init.d the EZ way !!
How to make it work...
Take file in the attached zip and use your favorite root explorer and paste it in /system/etc/ overwriting the file that is there.
Set permissions of the file to be rwx, rx, rx
Create an init.d folder inside of /system/etc and set permisions to rwx, rx, rx
Add init.d scripts and make sure they are also set to rwx, rx, rx.
Reboot and enjoy your init.d scripts!
All credits to smokin1337 for the mod, I just added the line to our postboot.sh.
I tested it and it works as it should :good:
Enjoy!
-Scott
EDIT: Changed the permissions of the scripts to 755 from 777 to guard against possible malware. Info courtesy of jcase.

Just a note, I use ES File Explorer to do this but any root level explorer should work. I just use ES because I am familiar with it.
Some init.d scripts can rely upon the use of BusyBox so install that from the market.

Sorry for the stupid question but what does this actually do.
What can I get out of it if I install it?

Good question... If you have to ask it then this is not something for you. Haha, Just kidding... But seriously..
Basically init.d scripts are scripts that run when the phone boots up. You can make them do various things like setting system level tweaks, cleaning and purgin databases, and on and on and on...
In the ROMS I build I use an init.d script that remounts the file system more efficiently (in theory anyways) but there are other uses for init.d scripts.
A real popular one is called "V6 Supercharger" Its a collection of scripts that are designed to really tweak out the operating system for the supreme performance (once again, debatable).
There are other things that could be done... If your familiar with old school computing and you know autoexec.bat this is basically that for Android.

Yeah, this mod is not your ordinary mod. Most people will never use this type of mod.... Or they do use it in the custom ROM they use and never even know about what it does.

Try using 755 instead of 777, otherwise you are opening yourself up to potential problems.

Right, exactly.
You can peruse the forums and find your favorite "battery saving" and "super charger" scripts.

Gotcha thanks .

I've discovered the same thing you achieve here before, when i was trying to create a swap internal SD for the external, but unfortunately it didn't work, i used your rom on my old Note 2, it was amazing hope to see CleanROM for this one. Thanks for publishing this.
