You should try taking your data.yaffs2 image file from a cwm backup, extract it using unyaffs (just google it) and take the /app folder under the extracted directory.
Then, make a flashable zip that mounts /data and then extract it, and it should be working fine
Edit:
about touchpads, I think that the changes would pretty much be located into the framework.jar, so try taking it from an ics rom that has touchpads working

[Q] [HELP] ROM NOT WORKING - installation aborts

I have ported a rom for galaxy y. but when i try to install it. It shows installation aborted
any one pls help me.......
ROM's LINK
LINK UPDATED SOON.................................
I use HTC Android kitchen and cygwin
........................................................................................
i dont know about update script. plsssss HELPPP
U have to make a thread in general sec
Use CWM or another updater-script.
this question is about developing a new rom. IMO its ok to post here.
@dineshlives: did you use dsixdia kitchen? if yes, you should modify the script. the script generated by dsixdia doesn't work for SGY. if you only have minor modification (without custom kernel or a2sd) you may check hybrid's or myss's script. if you use custom kernel or a2sd. you may see bazz's, or repencis's. those two last is harder to use and may not work. but both hybrid's or myss's works fine without any modification as long as you don't touch /system/bin and /system/xbin.
HELP

[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.

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

[DEV] Joining Unlimited Contacts in Single one SIII

Hi world
yet again , but this time for i9300
As old people know, Samsung contacts can only join 5 contacts from social app into one
here it is hacked and open to unlimited
I tested it on deodexed LF2 ROM and not sure if it will work on older versions!
so my CWM file will backup your original files in case of anything goes wrong !
Just make sure that u r rooted and flash via CWM
It should work on ODEX ROMs just delete odex files
Update: for LF6 , LFB
update: ICS, JB

Thanks again

What is the need of joining multiple contacts? Actually I can not understand what is use of this mod.

It's basically for when you are syncing contacts from exchange, Facebook, linked in, google and hax sync etc. This allows you to merge more than 5 contacts into one. If you dont use multiple syncs from different accounts then probably you don't need this mod.

Thanks for your contribution .
i am running stock I9300XXALE8 and i guess this is not working for me.
I install the zip via CWM and now it doesn't start contacts... Keep giving an FC...
How to restore it back?
------------------
Update:
Ok, i got it working after renaming the ODEX file to bak and clearing the contact storage cache.
Thanks!
Moved to themes and apps as per guidelines that can be found here

F.A.Q​
Q.there are many tools to deodex why use this?
A. With android 4.4 google changed something, now apps are also stored in system/priv-app, other tools available to deodex are only created to deodex file stored in system/app.
Q.Tool gives me some kind of java error at the start?
A.Install Java for your respective system e.g 32bit or 64bit. Also dont continue further if you get this message other wise you will get bootloop
Q.My phone is not detected by this tool?
A. install adb drivers..
Issues
1= On sling rom,when deodexed stock keyboard FC and weather widget also wont work(dont know why)

Hy @umair928 thanks for useful instructions but i am unable to deodexed sling v 2.1 using this method. It doesnt pull the required folders ,i even manually placed app,framework and priv-app folders in system but it doesnt deodexed nor create a flashable zip .This tool is for xperia z and i think it has to be edited a bit to work on our phone.
PS:If youve deodexed slim rom kindly mirror that for me i need deodexed rom thanks

May be you are doing something wrong, have you installed proper adb drivers and java. This method works perfect with stock or any custom firmware(I deodexed, 30b, 30c and sling rom) . I have also deodexed htc m8 stock rom with this...
Bro, connection is super sh... ty cant share deodexed rom...
Yes I've installed Java and Adb drivers , Adb is recognising my device . Apparently doing everything as per guide but don't know why it's not doing

That's because the framework is different. Changing lg framework may help you to get sms app working, but it may make other apps to FC

Dear Ahmed vai,
Thanks for the response. My phone is working well with Sling Rom as there are options of Selecting 2g/3G. Whn i select 2g only, the phone;s network signal is good and if i select 3g then the network bar up and downs severly...and no one reach me / i cant call to others. So, I am always select 2g. No way to find out the solution and In sling My front camera is not working.
Hope you are in Good Health. Take care Brother.

Well, sling is not a custom ROM. It's actually a cooked firmware. If you're searching for such a cooked firmware based on stock kk for E975, nothing so far.
