Hi all,
I have been trying to place a rom in the eclipse emulator using the below tutorial.

I have created my avd and have located my AVD folder but I am stuck with what files to put in the folder to make the sense stock rom run.
I have the zipped rom but I don't know how I extractt the system image ect... from this, I've somehow missed something here but not sure what.
Anyone help with this?

Is it possible to odex files that you downloaded from the market? If so can someone post a quick tutorial? Few questions for the tutorial:
Will the odex apps still be able to be uninstalled?
Will the apps run faster like the system odex files?
Can this be done visually (gui program to auto convert), or does this need to be done via terminal?
Can this be done on the phone and with a pc running linux? If so can you list both?
Look for a script /system/bin/odex.sh. If you don't find one, try putting this there, but I believe kallt_kaffe has a newer and better version than this.
Frankly, I don't odex anything anymore.
I wanted to try to make a ROM that was customized just for me.
I just downloaded the most recent frost rom, unzipped it, modified the apps and framework.apk, resigned it using the signing utility available on XDA and then tried to flash it.
I did not make a folder, then tried to ZIP the folder then resigned. I took the contents of my ROM, zipped the contents into a folder, then put it through the resigning utility.
However, when I flash the ROM, it says that it can't find the update.script.
I haven't ever tried to do this, but I am guessing I am missing a step -- either that or I am in over my head.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hey guys im trying to open up and start playing with stuff inside the android OS but when I try to It does nothing.. how do you open the entire OS? I have eclipse and the android sdk already installed help is appreciated please
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
What do you mean by "open stuff up?" You mean rooting?
your post didn't make sense and its in the wrong section.
but I expect you want to play with the gingerbread os in the sdk.
there is an android-9 folder with an images folder(something like /android-sdk-mac_86/platforms/android-9/images)
in that is system.img. its the file you probably want.
you can't unzip it, i forgot what the format is called for the android .img files, but look around xda a bit and there are some tools. one of the easiest is the dsixda kitchen, which you can find in the main android dev forum here (not evo specific) and it can open .img files. you will probably need to toss a boot.img along with the system.img in the original folder with the kitchen (i havne't used it in a while)
I mean open .apk's system files just to play around with it edit things to my preference learn ect ect. But basically learn to creat my own customized OS over time i know since im a newbie i wouldnt learn tonight but id like to learn... HELP
can I extract the contents of a mod.zip and take the .jar or .apk and copy and paste them into the framework dir of the working working folder? i tried copying a custom .apk file into the framework dir of the working folder and it went into a boot loop.
alucke
There could be several reasons for a boot loop. If I understand you correctly, you are working on a ROM using dsixda's kitchen, and you want to add an apk before flashing? Could you provide more information like what apk and what folder you are trying to add it to? I suspect it might have something to do with the signature of the apk. I'm not 100% sure but I believe that the system apks all need the same signature when flashing a new ROM.

If you are changing things within the framework you also need to edit the .xml files within the framework. The best way to learn is to take the stock rom and load it into a working folder. then take a custom rom that you can find all the differences to stock on when loaded on your phone and load that into the kitchen. Compare the stock roms working folder with the custom rom working folder and take note of all the differences and figure out how they were achieved. Dont just look at apk files. Look at the update script as well as the xml files in all the folders too. Repeat with another ROM and you will start to see how to change things around yourself.
Hey guys! I am having some problems with my SpaceROM update! I am currently trying to get the Titanium.apk on there (I know where to put it). This is what I did.
Extracted my ROM
Went into system
Then went into apps
I copied and pasted the app in there
I archived the ROM back into a zip file
I tried to open it in Android Kitchen (Do to some extra tweaks)
But it said "No system folder found"
So then I googled it and it said you need to resign the ROM after you tweak it
So I download and use a ROM signer (I'm not sure if it worked or not)
Then I tried to open the ROM in Android Kitchen again
And it gave me that same message!
What I am wanting to do is change apps and possible the bootanimation.zip
Any help is greatly appreciated
