[Q] How to make a "starter stock 2.3.6 rom"

hello all,
I want to make my own custom rom based on the stock 2.3.6.
I've read some tutorials about that but I don't get any informations on how to get a base to work with (a flashable zip with all the rom's files?).
So do I have to flash a original rom to my gio and then backup all the files with some software or something else?
I can try to compile it if it's really necessary but I would be glad if I can avoid it.
I don't want to start with a existing all customised rom like enhanced236, I would like to start from a fresh and clean rom and then share it with the gio communty.
Thanks a lot for your help.

I found something about dsixda.
I'm on the right track?
thanks.

on the right track, but just a note: dsixdsa kitchen is made for HTC, and its a tool, you wont really learn much from it, and it may not be fully compitable

If you don't want to build from source your gonna have to know how to edit apks n Smali. Your gonna need apktool, smali, & baksmali.
If you want base it off the stock rom just flash the stock rom n make a backup in recovery. You'll need the system folder from that backup.

Can some one explain me clearely how to get a flashable stock rom zip or give me a link to some good tutorial working for the Gio?
sorry but I can't find something clear about all that.
I've spent a day trying to figure out how to do that but I was not able to make a single working zip
dsixda clearly doesn't work for the gio or I'm missing something.
I only need someone to put me on good track to start. I'm only loosing time trying and testing a lot of not so complete tutorial.
thanks a lot

[HOW TO] Deodexing the note2 international version

EDIT* After trying for so much on learning how to deodex a rom I finally found the way to do it. I take NO credit for what I'm going to post. i Found this tutorial browsing and searching online for a while and thanks to WANAM for telling me he uses dsinxda to deodex his roms. and DSIXDA for making the tool. Im just going to post the steps I did in order to get my stock rom deodexed. If I make a mistake or use wrong any term please forgive me I'm learning as you are. I just want to help you guys to be able to deodex your rom. I'M NOT GOING TO POST DOWNLOAD LINKS, JUST THE THREADS WHERE YOU NEED TO GO AND DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING FOR YOURSELF. (This to avoid issues with OP of other threads)
DOWNLOAD YOUR STOCK ROM IN A FORMAT TO BE FLASHED BY ODIN. GO TO http://sammobile.com and download your rom. After you have it REMOVE the .md5 at the end. Leave it as .tar
First of all you need to have java, android SDK installed and adb. for this FIRST OF ALL go here and follow the steps
STEP 1 http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...d-adb-installation&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid=57
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/downloading-and-installing-the-java-development-ki.html
Afterwards go here and read a little bit. It will give you an overall of what you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939300 (Yeah I now is for the s3 BUT BELIEVE ME IT WORKS) leave it open just in case.
then visit this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 and READ IT!
-Download the kitchen and afterward go to post number 3 to install it, I used the option number one for windows 7. i downloaded dsixda_cygwin_install.zip. If you have other operating system I honestly don't know how to do it.
Also click where it says ''RECOMMENDED: Click here for a pictorial guide to assist you with the Cygwin install (thanks to carl1961).'', it will give you a tutorial on how to install the kitchen. Be patient. sometimes you make the steps and it seems is not doing anything, but its working it's just slow.
follow that pic guide on how to install and when you're setting up your rom when it opens the ext2explore tool you dont see your system.img close the kitchen and delete the working folder and start again setting it up and it will work. (at least for me, the 1st time i had no ext4_system.img, the second time I did)
VERY IMPORTANT. After you extract the system, EXTRACT THE CSC If not your rom WON'T WORK.
(Diskinternals linux reader is found on the kitchen folder, then tools. FYI)
ok. after you have Installed the kitchen and the working folder is ready
go to the working folder and delete ext4_system.img from system folder if there is any. Then
-Choose option 0- Advanced Options
-Then choose option 11 Deodex files in your rom
-Then ''bb'' IF YOU WANT
-Then ''v'' and set android level to 16
-then option ''b'' and sit back and wait.
-Then option ''x'' when it's done
-Choose option 99 and follow the steps. remember to zipalign the apps and sign your rom, then change the name of the rom if you want.
- I did not rooted my rom. i use the method 2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 to root it aftwerwards. :fingers-crossed:
FINAL STEP! MANDATORY! PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF THIS POST HELPED YOU! :good: :victory: :highfive:
Then copy the rom to your external sd and wipe data, cache , dalvik and go to mount and storage and format system.
go back and flash rom from external sd.
:angel: there you go, your deodexed rom! :fingers-crossed:
I hope this have been helpfull

[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!

It's just a ROM, like any other ROM.

Please help me
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

[ROM] Stock TMobile T989UVMC6 [06.30.2013]

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I uploaded a completely stock/rooted Telus TLUMC4 build. I received a lot of positive responses in regards to the build (thank you everyone) and I had a request from @Rushing to create one for the TMobile UVMC6 release. After searching through the threads I was only able to find the Odin flashable version of the update and slightly tweaked/modded variants. So, I decided to make one and share with everyone here in the community.
This is the official TMobile T989UVMC6 firmware downloaded from the SamMobile website. I have rooted, installed busybox, zipaligned and deodexed.
I don't intend to add any additional tweaks/mods to this ROM. It is meant strictly for people that want the official UVMC6 release but don't want to have to flash via odin and reroot.
Also, if any dev's or chefs want to use this as a base for their ROM please feel free to do so, you do not need to PM me to ask for permission. However, I do ask if you choose to use this base in your ROM please give me a thanks/thumbs up in the OP.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (If followed exactly as below you should not have any issues)
- You must be rooted and have TWRP 2.4.4.0 custom recovery installed
- Download and place the Infamous Cache Wipe and Infamous Super Wipe scripts from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235141 on either your internal or external SD Card. This will be needed for later. Thanks to @Jamison904 @thederekjay and Team Infamous for this fantastic tool.
- Reboot into TWRP 2.4.4.0 recovery and create a nandroid backup (Always do this step before flashing any ROM)
- Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and select Data, System,Cache and Dalvik (then swipe to wipe)
- Press the home button and select the Infamous Super Wipe Script
- Click on add another zip file and choose Infamous Cache Wipe
- Click on add another zip file and choose TMobileT989UVMC6RootedDeodexed.zip

ROM downloaded fine... Checked md5 on PC and then on my phone SD card... They matched perfectly fine.
Everything works apart from :
1. No Google account in accounts in settings... I couldn't add my Google account...
2.Location is not working in apps
3. Play store is there in system/apps but with unidentified icon (like a permission problem?).. But no icon in app drawer... Tried deleting this apk and adding one and fixing permission, after reboot it was there but closes as soon as it opens..
I'm using cwm 6.0.3.1 from sk8 and did full wipe for everything before flashing.. By the way tried to do everything twice and same result.. I'm not new to the flashing business lol ..
I'm using at&t unlocked skyrocket on T-Mobile...

I didn't change anything from the stock T989 UVMC6 firmware downloaded from Sam Mobile. This is the exact same release you would get when you flash/update via Samsung Kies. All I did was root it, installed busybox, zipaligned and deodexed. Nothing was added or removed from the official firmware.
I am not familiar with what needs to be done in order to get the Skyrocket (i727) to work with Hercules (T989) ROMs. I am thinking maybe there is some conflict there. The official Firmware for the Skyrocket would be I727UCMC1. I could create a rooted, busybox, zipaligned and deodexed version of the I727UCMC1 for you to test out and see if that works for you instead, since it would be specific to your device.
I would also suggest to run the Infamous super wipe and infamous cache wipe (as per the OP) and then try and reinstall this ROM again.
There shouldn't be an issue with the ROM itself since nothing was tweaked/removed from official release. There looks to be some type of conflict though with your device and the stock UVMC6 firmware.
Let me know if you are interested in the UCMC1 i727 version. I can create one for you and PM the link to you to try. Let me know.

Thanks chochiwpg so much., I didn't mean your ROM has problems and I'm sure it's not packaging and or a zip problem, but wondered if T-Mobile/Samsung removed the ability to add a Google account, heard sometime ago that some people had play store issues with the official kies update...
I'm currently using my skyrocket with T-Mobile... And now I'm on UCMC1 deodexed from mohan so I'm already on stock att jb , thanks.. I wanted to try the stock T-Mobile jb thinking it would give me better performance with T-Mobile but I guess I'll stick with ucmc1 ROM and it's radio which gives me LTE...(For some reason I noticed the uvmc6 is a hair smoother than ucmc1)..
Thanks op again...

if you use chrome on your desktop or laptop, download user-agent switcher for chrome then switch to either opera or safari and that should give you unlimited tethering as long as you have an unlimited plan. thats what i do. if you try it let me know if it works for ya.

Wifi Calling?
Does this ROM have wifi calling on it?
