Hello,
I am wondering how i can compile all the parts of a rom using winzip. i have done modding everything to the rom and will test it out, then upload it to the DEV section. please help me. winzip is not accepting my folder add option but just files.
Thank you so much!
Here is more info, when I add the files to the Roms zip file, it does not allow adding the full folders such as system folder but only single files in it. The file boot could be transferred.
You cant just add mods to the framwork ect before flashing you will end up with a bootloop, you have to decompile the apk's like framework-res.apk, modify them and recompile ..... you should use winrar not winzip in any case

Thanks for your time What about if i did a theme on a online kitchen and i have to use that framework-res.apk instead of the original? than what do i do? Or do i really need to change it?
thanks again!

Template :
PerkaROM Template at the end of this post.
Stock firmware :
In this guide JVP 2.3.4
How to :
* Get the modem and kernel (zImage) you want to use
* Un tar PDA.tar and CSC.tar
* Use Magic iso to extract factoryfs.rfs, Got to File, Open,
choose show all files and browse to the facoryfs and open, when open right click the NO NAME, up to your left and extract it.
* So now make a folder called system
* Put the extracted factoryfs in the system folder and zip it. (I use no compression as its faster)
* Now u have a zip called system.zip with a system folder in it.
* Put the system.zip in the dsi kitchen folder /original_update
* Start the kitchen and use option 1, go with default options.
* Use option 0 advanced, then 11 and then option b to deodex system apk and framework, and w8
* Now save the system folder from working folder in the Kitchen
* Get my template
* Dont extract the Template just open it in winrar or similar.
* Copy your modem and zImage (kernel) to the update folder
* Now copy your system to the template /system
* Use Magic iso to extract cache.rfs, Got to File, Open,
choose show all files and browse to the cache.rfs and open, when open right click the NO NAME, up to your left and extract it.
* Unzip the sec_csc.zip and copy the files to system, (1 csc folder and 2 files)
* Now u should have a working stock ROM to flash in CWM (rooted)
* After testing the ROM you can optimize and zipalign it.
* In apk manager folder /place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize you put
framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and all system apks but not these:
AxT9IME, Camera, Email, MMS, Phone, Screen Capture, Settings, Swype, Thinkdroid, Voice search
* Choose option 15
* Then choose both(zp)
* Let it run and done.
* Now put back the apks where they belong in the ROM.
* Flash your optimized ROM and feel the difference!

Nice guide, Perka.
great job buddy
WOW, this will come handy to a lot of guys. Sticky material.
perka you always do great job with guides....so is it with this one
congrats mate
Hey Perka!
From the Captivate forums, I would like to say this guide is a fantastic base for creating ROMs, I have created my own ROM using this guide by coldflid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142104
But this is yet another fantastic guide, and now putting them side by side on and reading both would have saved me a couple hours of reading on google.
Hahah but great guide!
THANK A LOT
This is a great guide. Nice job mate.
Thank you all for your kind words

Well did u open it?
When its open in magic iso, there's a window to your left with the file structure, right click and extract to a folder of your choice.
If u need it I can make some screens.
Post if u want them.
and pls ask if anything.
Ps. maybe u can just copy all to a folder?

OK, manage to do it. but now i have other question:
in system file do i put together the extracted content of factoryfs.rfs and cache.rfs withouth any other files ?
What about CSC extracted file? it contains also a cache.rfs.should I extract it too with magic iso? and shall i put all the CSC and PDA files toguether?? I ´m a bit messed up here, but just need you to clarify me better the whole PDA and CSC part, ...well I know that CSC goes on system but i don't really have clear if i need to extract the cache.rfs from CSC too. I hope you can understand me right, because I´m a bit confused too

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22773156
Can anyone give me a proper method of how can I enable and change the boot sound please?
I saw some nice thread for moto droid but it has different format than that of Arc. So please we need similar kind of procedure for arc.. thanks..
Boot Animation Changer LITE - Market
Here ya go. It worked on my ZTE Blade, but the volume is extra loud.
It's not the same though.
the media folder has the files in it .. just change it to whatever you want
No, you are not getting me.. The application u told has in built list of animations but I dont want the animations.. I already have many animation zip files but I want to know how to add a sound file to it and how to enable it.. ?

Dude... Check it out... The name of the app is Bootanimation Changer, but it can also change the sounds!
Ok.. I understand that it also changes the sound but I wont to set my own sound n not the one which comes with the built in bootanimations in that list of the app.. I hope u got me now.. I dont see any option in the app where I can set my own sound..
if you are rooted then navigate to system/media find the bootanimation you want you use.
unzip file
insert sound files.
rezip
This might help not 100% sure.
I have not tried it dont know if it will work.

Yes bro.. This is the one I want.. From where can I get this app?

I think you just put a mp3 file called "bootanim.mp3" inside the bootanimation.zip file: -
* Extract the file some-where on your pc.
* put bootanim.mp3 in the same folder as desc.txt (this is the root of the extracted file).
* re-create the zip file called bootanimation.zip BUT you must use "store" compression.
* put the new bootanimation.zip into the /system/media folder of your android device (requires a program like "root browser")
That should do it...
This DOES NOT work on the i9300/note 2 and never will, please stop asking about it.
Please take all questions/discussion to the d2_vzw thread HERE because it is the only one I'll monitor!
Thanks to the work of invisiblek and some Google searching I was able to come up with the following tool:
This tool takes a 720x1280 .PNG image and converts it to a recovery-flashable splash screen in a single click.
A video so you can see what this changes: http://youtu.be/XXaBJTVQ2Sw
How to use:
Making your own splash screen:
0) Download and extract the .zip file
1) Make a 720x1280 .png image you want to be your splash screen (this comes in-between the boot animation and the quick Samsung logo flash)
2) Name it "initlogo.png" without the quotes
3) Place it in the PNGtoConvert folder
4) Run the "PNG-2-RLE.bat" file
5) You are finished! A "flashthisinrecovery.zip" will appear in the same directory as the batch files. Just flash it in recovery and enjoy your new splash screen!
Note: If you want the .RLE and not the whole flashable, it can be found as "initlogo.rle" in the "kernel" folder or you can pull it from the kernel folder inside the "flashmeinrecovery.zip"
Converting an .RLE that you made back to a .PNG for editing:
0) Download an extract the .zip file
1) Copy the "initlogo.rle" you want to convert to a .PNG to the RLEtoConvert folder. It must be named "initlogo.rle"
2) Run the "RLE-2-PNG.bat"
3) PNG will be in the PNGtoConvert folder named "initlogoOUTPUT.png"
Other notes:
I have included the stock initlogo as a .PNG named "initlogoSTOCKBACKUP.png" for your reference/backup purposes. If you want to test the tool with it, remember to rename it to initlogo.png
If you flash a new kernel/rom the splash will revert to stock. To get it back, just flash the "flashmeinrecovery.zip" again. You don't need to reconvert it or anything.
This has only been tested with the d2_vzw but will work with all USA (S4 CPU) variants!

As always, even though this tool has been tested, nobody is responsible to damage to your phone except yourself!
More of an Theme thing.

Nice work OP!
FNM
wow! should be handy dandy when I'm done with working with my phone! Thanks OP!
Works awesome thank you, been waiting for this since having my Desire Z. changed splash screens on that one on a daily basis lol.
Side note, anyone want to resize .png's quickly online here you go works good.
Im stuck here. I created a png image with Paint.net and I used the program to make a flashable file. Then I flashed over JB and nothing changed the old Samsung splash was still there.? Any ideas what might be wrong.
(edit: I figured it out., sorry for the post.)

in order to get the zip files active you need to change these original files i just posted in your system\bin
backup the samsungani and rename bootanimation to that name,
the go to system\media and drop your bootanimation.zip there 3 times just rename 2 of them to ODEAnim.zip and sanim.zip
then the bootlogos will work
