Who is this tutorial for?
Beginners like me
People with little or no programming skills
You love to or would like to flash,modify and test roms
This is a very basic tutorial!!

Step one: Setting up the Android kitchen
First you will need to set up dsixda's android kitchen
Here is a summary of the installation process( I recommend you read the tread first)​
1. Before you do anything install the java jdk(find it in dsixda's thread)
2. Download and extract the cygwin_packages.zip provided by dsixda on third post
3. Run the set up(make sure there is no previous cygwin installation)
4. Follow the kitchen read me txt!!!
5) local package directory *must* be the path to the cygwin_packages folder that you just extracted
6) when it shows all the package names, go to the top and select "all <-> default" until it changes to "all <-> install" (you must click on the arrows)
7. Run the cygwin at least once and close, now you will see a folder inside the cygwin installation like this: Home\your user name\
8. Download the kitchen and extract to the home\your user name\
9. Rename the dsixda-android-kitchen-*** folder to just "kitchen"
10. Now your ready to run the kitchen type:
Code:
cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)
11. If you did things right you should see this:
congratulations!!

Click to collapse
Step Two: Setting up a working folder​1. First our folder structure should look like this:
Code:
cygwin folder/home/your user name/kitchen
2. Inside the kitchen it should look like this:
3. Now we need a rom to work on, for this tutorial i will use my own rom but you can use any hd2 rom. Place the original rom zip in the original_update folder inside the kitchen.
4.run the cygwin.exe again type:
Code:
cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)
5.now enter option 1, enter again. You should see your rom listed, choose and enter
6.you will be asked about changing the working folders name, at this point it makes no difference so just continue.
7.you will be asked to convert to update-scrip do it and continue
8. Now you can view the roms info
9. congratulations you have a working folder!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Three :change/modify/update!​
First I will be covering basic changes you can make to your rom, later I will be adding more helpful hints.
Adding/removing applications
1. Go to the working folder where you extracted your rom, inside you will find:
or
2. Then go to "system/app" inside this folder you will find all the rom applications(apks) you may also find some in the data folder if your rom has this folder.
3. Copy, replace, and change any app(apk) be carefull if you dont know what the apk is do not delete!!
4. Congrats you have modified a rom, if your ready and want to see if it worked skip to step four to buil rom from working folder.

Adding new boot animation
1. Just replace the bootanimation.zip located in "workingfolder/system/media" with the boot animation of your choice.
here is a sample of my bootanimation to try.

Click to collapse
Edit the gps script for your country/location
1. In the workingfolder/system/etc/ you will find a file named gps.conf, you can
edit this file with notepad++ or even word.
2. using the right gps script in this file can speed up gps lock, you can
find some from angeldeath, download extract and replace the gps.conf.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Changing the default wallpaper
1. Be very careful doing this, do not edit,delete or modify an apk without knowing what it is or does.not all things are as simple as copy and paste.
2. go to the workingfolder/system/framework/
3. Install 7zip and open the framework-res.apk
4. With in the framework-res.apk with 7zip go to "res/drawable-hdpi/" and look for the default_wallpaper.jpg. You can extract modify and replace with new one.
5. Make sure its the same file format and image dimensions.(in some roms you can also modify the default_lock_wallpaper.jpg)

MMS Fix for T-mobile
1. *I Have only tested this on MIUI Roms*
2. Go to "workingfolder/system/app"
3. Find MMS.apk
4. Right click and open with 7zip
5.Inside mms.apk go to "rex/xml/"
6.replace the "mms_config.xml" with this "mms_config.xml"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
modifying build.prop
"build.prop" is a file that contains various system-vital "parameters"
Some can be modified with little risk, some can cause havoc. So Please do this Carefully!!!!!!
1. Locate the file "workingfolder/system/"
2. Open with notepad++
There is several simple changes that can be done, I will start with some and add more later.
LCD Density
1. If you dont know anything about this topic Here is some info to get started
2.Locate this line inside the build.prop "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"
3.The only value you will modify is the "240" to your preference.
Difference is simple and visible!

Update Kernel From update.zip
Note that it's not always as easy as copy and paste
1. Extract you kernel_update.zip
2. Copy and replace the extracted files to the corresponding folders inside your finished ROM
3.Start with the boot folder
4. If the kernel was from another rom replace initard.gz from your rom
5. Than the system folder (there might be some libs and modules associated with the rom)
6. Another helpful hint is to open the updater-script
to see if your kernel requires you to delete anything for the kernel to work correctly.
sample script:
Code:
delete("/system/ppp");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Update GPS librarys From update.zip
1. Extract you GPS_lib_update.zip
2. Copy and replace the extracted files to the corresponding folders inside your finished ROM
6. Another helpful hint is to open the updater-script
to see if your gps lib's require you to delete anything for the lib's to work correctly.

Make a wifi calling update.zip
1. Download tytung's T-Mobile WiFi Calling Apps and Lib's
2. Open with 7zip
3. Extract the build.prop
4.Open build.prop with notepad++
5.Now open your build.prop from you rom
6.copy the txt from your rom's build.prop
7.paste to the top of the wifi calling buil.prop
8.save and with 7zip insert the new build.prop to tytun's wifi calling update.zip
9. Flash and test
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-there are several other options provided by dsixda's android kitchen for that I recomend you go to the tread and read.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step Four: repackage the rom ​
Now that you have made some changes it's time to test!!
1. Run the kitchen and enter option 99 - "biuld rom from working folder"
2. Choose mgldr or clk
3. I recommend that you go with all default options until you get more experience with the kitchen.
4. When its all done you will find a folder inside "cygwin/home/yousername/kitchen" called output_zip
5. Inside the folder is your new rom ready to be flashed and tested!!!

UPDATER-SCRIPT
Thanks to user langthang for a great updater-script guide.
Download it HERE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had a couple of request on how to get custom txt during the ROM installation in CWM,
the updater-script basically tells CWM what steps to take during the installation(flashing rom).
If you don't have any experience please don't edit anything other than what is in this simple tutorial.
1.First once you have your Rom ready in .zip format, Open with 7zip
2.Go to META-INF/com/google/android
3.Extract the updater-scrip file
4.Open with Notepad++
5.Any text that would appear during the CWM install should be in this format :
Code:
ui_print("Put your text in HERE");
Here is the requested 3d MIUI LOGO for example:
Code:
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print(" ___ ___ ");
ui_print(" /__/\\ ___ /__/\\ ___ ");
ui_print(" | |::\\ / /\\ \\ \\:\\ / /\\ ");
ui_print(" | |:|:\\ / /:/ \\ \\:\\ / /:/ ");
ui_print(" __|__|:|\\:\\ /__/::\\ ___ \\ \\:\\ /__/::\\ ");
ui_print("/__/::::| \\:\\\\__\\/\\:\\__ /__/\\ \\__\\:\\\\__\\/\\:\\__ ");
ui_print("\\ \\:\\~~\\__\\/ \\ \\:\\/\\\\ \\:\\ / /:/ \\ \\:\\/\\");
ui_print(" \\ \\:\\ \\__\\::/ \\ \\:\\ /:/ \\__\\::/");
ui_print(" \\ \\:\\ /__/:/ \\ \\:\\/:/ /__/:/ ");
ui_print(" \\ \\:\\ \\__\\/ \\ \\::/ \\__\\/ ");
ui_print(" \\__\\/ \\__\\/ ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print(" ");
6.Add your text start at top and save,
then replace with new updater-scrip

There is allot more that I did not cover, didn't even scratch the surface.
This was not intended for porting roms or any mayor scripting, this wont help you
with writing drivers, kernels, libs etc. Just tried to make it as simple as possible for
beginners like me, so we can understand the amount of work devs go through.
Please! please! before you release any Rom, test and test again!!!!!!

Just want to thank XDA Forums for giving us this space to play learn and share.

man that is wonderful threat from u ..thanks u try to make it simple and u success pls try to make this threat open and i think we can make it as a full guide in the future

wow it looks great I must try it later, thanks man

Gunna give this a go later, thnx bud

Thanks man ! I tried several times to build my own ROM with the kitchen but always failed. It builded right but never booted.
These are the topics I think should be mentionned :
- Injecting your own kernel (I mean : injecting a kernel that comes in a zip).
- clK special demands ?
- editing system configs/files that need a fix to work better with our device.
That's a lot of work but boy am I excited for this. I just might try again !

Nice going mate .... perhaps i post NAND Build some day

I saw a similar guide on Boyppc Theard longtime ago
But I hope we have more Cooker for HD2 here

Did you install 64b java or 32b? I assume this needs the 32b version which installs fine of 64b windoze.

You can use this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272270

You could always use uot kitchen. Locations of files that need to be modded depends on the ROM. Will it be sense or cm7? Location of bootanimation.zip is /system/media in the sense ROM I'm using and also the same for cm7. If its a sense ROM also check /data/local . The files that are needed to mod are.... framework-res.apk which is in /system/framework .
systemUI.apk which is in /system/app.
And if its a sense ROM, then also com.htc.resources.apk which is also in /system/framework
Fonts are in /system/fonts
I use uot kitchen so all the hard work is done for me but u r still limited.

ohk you mean i should edit the script with note pad ++ ?
can you tell me how to set up uot kitchen m sorry m not a noob though but then i am really confused of which kitchen to use
started with ubuntu it was hell slow,
then itje downloaded everythign but that link off BATCH FILE was dead so all time got wasted
and thn now using Dsixda's kitchen..
where can i find uot kitchen set up instructions??
plz link me there,,

will this be a theme for a cm7 or sense rom? all you need to do is pick the rom that you want to make a theme for, browse through the zip and copy the framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk, and also the com.htc.resources.apk to your desktop or whatever folder you want on your computer. Then go to..... http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
click on file upload tab.....then click upload system files. It will then let you browse for the apk files you copied to your desktop. Upload the 2 for cm7 or all 3 for sense rom. Then you just click on the different tabs and select the things you want to add. just make sure to generate previews to get it how you want, and always select mdpi for phone screen size. When adding a bootanimation using uot, make sure you select the location for it, the same as where you bootanimation currently is. Like i said before, mine is a sense rom and my bootanimation.zip is in /system/media, but for some reason on the uot kitchen the default sense rom location for bootanimation is /data/local, so make sure u change it accordingly. Its very simple to use the kitchen, just time consuming till u figure out what exactly u like and want.

i figured out all that .. i m asking you now that
i did one thing..
i read the update-script
and it was
Code:
ui_print("Applying UOT framework");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete("/system/framework/framework-res.apk");
package_extract_dir("framework", "/system/framework");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
delete("/system/app/SystemUI.apk");
package_extract_dir("app", "/system/app");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("Applying UOT fonts");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_dir("fonts", "/system/fonts");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("Applying UOT bootanimation");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data");
i removed the framework-res.apk from my rom zip file
and then pasted the one from the zip i got from uot
then i removed systemui.apk
and pasted from the one i got from uot in to my roms zip file..
and then took the zip file and pasted in my cell,
flashed the rom.zip in via cwm recovery ..
unforrtunately i dont have a status bar :O
i wil paste to bootanimation to system/media
but what about the status baar :O where did it go ..

I don't understand why u r replacing the framework and systemui manually. Just use cwm to install the zip file. Do not modify it after u have cooked it up. Just copy the zip to your SD card and flash.

Bro as of now m havng my status bar using my cooked Rom with flashed uot mod.. but then how to combine both is my question

If u r trying to use your theme in your own ROM without having to flash it, u will have to replace more than just the systemui and framework I believe and also sign the zip after its edited. U will need to talk to a real theme dev, I would post the question in the themes and apps section or start doin some Google search.

You will need to swap com.htc.resources.apk that is compatible with your theme.

[GUIDE]Procedure to Move Apps 2 Sd (ICS)

Hi Everyone
I am creating this thread because most of the people still asking how to move the apps 2 sd on ICS, as the app2sd dt is not working.
So here is a step by step guide to do it.
1st you need any root explorer.
I am using the File Manager (because the Root Explorer is getting FCs on ICS)
Here is the link to the File Manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm&feature=search_result
Load the File Manager
Go to setting and Tick the root explorer and Mount System Folders.
(Allow the Super User Permission)
Then download this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=890365&d=1328558597
Unzip it and paste it in the sdcard.
Now open the File Manager
Copy The "S2E" from the sdcard\ICS_simple2ext\system\app
and paste it to the system\app (presented in the root folder)
Similarly copy the "20userinit" file from the sdcard\ICS_simple2ext\system\etc\init.d
And paste it to the system\etc\init.d (presented in the root folder)
It will ask to replace the file, so Just Replace it
Now open the S2E from the app drawer and configure the following :
- Menu->Settings: Check "Extended partiton info", "Mount as ext4" and "Set read buffer"
-Reboot your phone
-Start S2E again : Check "Applications" , "Private apps"
-Reboot your phone
Note: If you like you can also check the "Dalvik Cache" and the "Download cache"
You will get around 170 mb internal memory free out of 178 mb.
Special Thanks to:
Maclaw and His Team for Providing us the ICS

Works perfectly, this is the right method. Tested and used on v6 and v7 too.

followed the guide exactly. move the file to the specific location. after i restarted my phone there was no s2e app installed. tried opening it manually from system/app but i got this error : There is a problem parsing the package . the script is there, the 20userinit file, i tried using a2sd DT GUI but it says there is a problem with the script

But... this forum is not the place for guides

Maybe not, but looking after all these morons spamming CM9 dev thread, it could be sticky here, as an exception.

Work great..thanks bro.

it is, but originally for another phone I think, but I saw the script and you should be able to install it in recovery, just make a backup, and mount system before flashing, the script doesn't do this.

U are not able to move the system apps through thie link you have posted.
It just moves the installed apps to sd. So thats why you will not be able to get the maximum possible free space on the internal storage.
The App 2 SD is just a simple functioning app, not an app that makes the internal memory free

Ah, I see.
Thanks, indeed there's a lot of apps that will not move.
I'll follow the guide then.
---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------
And worked great! Was able to free 130 MB!
btw reboot does not install se2 so I install it manually.
Also my root explorer works ok with gio's ICS.

thanks works!

I am going to do this on my gio right now. But i just installed beta 8 and have to restore from Titanium backup. It installs them to phone, but if i move to SD does the WHOLE thing go or does it leave a bit? Also isnt i risky to put system apps on SD or would things like gmail, mail etc be okay? Im a noob to A2sd sorry

I Think a2sd dt not working because space in system is very low used by CM9 rom...i try to delete some apps in /system/app/ and then install a2sd script n work fine...

There, I just made a working update zip.

No problem you can move every thing to sd-ext.
Just don't worry about that.

[MOD] [08FEB16] Stock Modified Bootanimations and SplashScreens (More on Request)

Hi guys. I'm back with this little project.
I've inverted the stock bootanimation and downanimation of the One M9 (for those who prefer the dark background to white).
Recommended to use on ViperOneM9 with a dark theme. Just so it fits in.
I will do more upon request (but it might take some time I guess it doesn't take too much time).
Installation instructions for boot/down animations in next post.
Installation instructions and downloads for splash screens in Post#4.
Use files attached in this post and post#4.
Code:
DISCLAIMER: I do not take responsibility for the following:
[LIST]
[*]Bricking your device
[*]Frying your device
[*]Destroying your device
[*]A nuclear war caused by your device
[*]If an alarm doesn't go off and you're late for work
[*]If warranty services denies your warranty.
[/LIST]
Special thanks:
@iElvis for helping with the splash screens.
@predator1584 for providing the tools and guide to make a splashscreen.
@Basil3 for allowing me to use his files as a base.

Installation Instructions for flashing Boot & Down animations:
Download desired animations from the attachments in post above.
Reboot to recovery (TWRP preferred).
Flash the zip file.
Reboot and enjoy.
If flashing the file does not work, then extract the files from the flashable zip and manually push them to \system\customize\resource\ with permissions 0644 or rw-r--r-- using root explorer (or any other root browser).
If that doesn't work either, then check what your original boot&down animations are called and where they are.

Installation Instructions for flashing splashscreens:
Make sure you have fastboot and adb drivers installed on your computer.
Make sure your device is S-OFF (if it isn't, you cannot flash splashscreens)
Download desired splashscreen from the attachments below.
Save the splash.zip file in your fastboot folder (rename it to splash.zip so no errors).
Reboot your device into fastboot mode and connect to your PC.
Run the following commands:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip splashfilename.zip
fastboot reboot
Enjoy your new splashscreen!
If for some reason you're not able to flash the splashscreen, check the androidinfo.txt in the zip file to check if your CID is there (or just get superCID)

HussainQ great job mate! I am using them now. I loaded them onto Viper 1.9.1 using Root Explorer. I was wondering if you would consider making them with maybe a light blue HTC logo. Would you have the ability to create a custom splash screen as well? Thanks in advance! Keep up the great work mate!

Don't know about the splash screen since I'm not S-OFF and I don't want to ruin anything just yet.
As for the bootanimations, I can try. By light blue do you mean this or this?
PS I'm viewing the colours on the Dark xda theme

@shokouhi Done

Added stock animations with black background.

It's possible to get inverted splash animation? @HussainQ

Please remove step 4, even if it's optional. It is absolutely not needed, ever, for this purpose.
There are many people here that would do that just because they are not sure how this works, so they will wait 10 to 20 minutes or even more for nothing.
Thanks!

Like I mentioned earlier, I won't be able to make any modifications to splash screens since I don't have S-OFF (Unless ofcourse someone's willing to donate a Sunshine key wink-wink --> Just kidding).
I can certainly try, but I don't want to be responsible for anything that goes wrong.
Also there's some new sort of protection on the splash partitions so traditional methods (that I know of) won't work on S-OFF.

Added HTC One M7 inverted bootup and down animations.
Also guys, can you tell me if the previews are visible.
Thanks

There are already a couple of threads on how to change your splash screen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/themes-apps/mod-create-splash-screens-t3110975
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/themes-apps/mod-splash-screen-collection-htc-one-m9-t3075126
The fastboot method still works. The new restriction is actually a good thing because it only allows new splashes to be flashed in fastboot, which is much safer than the dd-in-recovery method.

There's that. The only reason I preferred the old method was because it was easier (for me since my laptop screwed with all my drivers for Download Mode).
Unfortunately I'm not willing to make anything I can't test myself.
Then again, that IS why I reserved an extra post.

Hey mate. Thanks for posting the links to making the splash screens. I will give it a run and let you know what I come up with.
Shokouhi

Updated splash screen post. Updated with stock inverted splash with green logo as a first.
Try it out
Again, still taking requests
@MaximN97 Done!
@shokouhi Done!

Well apparently my uploads didn't actually save.
Lesson learnt: Never click save changes when your files haven't finished uploading yet.
Enjoy the new splash screens!

I can not the boot up or boot down boot animations to install, I just flashing with TWRP several times and no go. Then I tried copying the bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/ with permissions rw-r--r and still no avail, what am I doing wrong?
I'm on stock, rooted with twrp recovery.
Also; do I need S-OFF to change my splash screen as well?

I don't see why they don't work for you. Only moving files manually works for me (I don't know why, but flashing the zips work for others). Check what the original boot&down animation zips in /system/customize/resource are called (post a picture). I remember back on the M7 different firmwares had different names. One had bootanimation.zip and others had htc_bootupone or something like that.
Yes you need S-OFF for splash screens.

Mi A2 Lite Boot Animation & Splash Dark Themed

Hi all, i was tired of seeing this white boot animimation while i only use dark mode and didnt find one that i like but the pixel one, so i decided to convert the one we had

​To install it rename bootanimation_MiA2LiteBlack_v6.zip as bootanimation.zip and place it into /system/media/ folder (mounted as RW)
it will overwrite te existing one, if you dont want previously rename it bootanimation.zip.orig for exemple
Or just use the bootanimation_MiA2LiteBlack_v6_flashable_fixed.zip flashable zip i made in TWRP!
I also added the original white versions if anyone needs
Ok, i just did same with splash screens :
To install it , use fastboot :
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash_MiA2LiteBlack.img

Can you send me the dark splash screen images as a zip if it's possible? I don't have tools to extract them from image

fastboot flash splash splash_MiA2LiteBlack.img - this worked fine.
I booted twrp-daisy-3.3.1-0-offain.img and installed the flashable zip - this didn't work.

No
You need to write it to the system partition. You must have an unlocked bootloader and this will break OTAs.
I've got instructions in here, using TWRP to copy the file into the right place.

i read an article sayind it'b installed on system/system/media instead of system/media on Mi A2 Lite
could you verify both directory if it flashed at the good one, using twrp file manager (system partition needs to be mounted 1st)
also you can try install zip with twrp
also it would be nice to hear about other users, for who it works or doesnt work...

i'll cant send them before going back to work... btw i used the same tool from XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/splash-image-maker-t3914702). take a look in the zip, there is some dark files similar to mines in it, or just take the big pic i put on this thread and cut it, it's a full sized one.
But did you at least tried my img?

thanks for telling me and glad it worked! i fixed the 2 flashable files in 1st post then.
FYI if you want clean from the 1st .zip that didnt work : boot into twrp, mount system partition, go to advanced / file manager, delete the media directory between license and mnt (there should be a system directory lower, with a media directory inside, be sure to dont touch them!)

but the "Unlocked" text is visually of lower quality than the original. like it's not smooth. you can't clearly read it. also the big "android" text is jaggedy around the edges unlike the original. what you did is still great and I'm using it regardless. just saying that it's not the original resolution. and if you insist that it's the same resolution then the image has degraded significantly for some other reason
