Hi, I'm cooking my own ROM based on RUU_2.29.405.2 using dsixda's HTC Android Kitchen. With this I can get all I need, but I'd like to put A2SD+ (the kitchen allows only A2SD). Where can I found a guide about this?
Moreover I have another question less important than previous, but it makes me very nervous:
-> I create a ROM and deodex it
-> I take the framework-res.apk and I change the icons and the battery with SuperCircleBattery online
->I overwrite framework-res.apk from my ROM with the new themed
->When I run the ROM with this MOD it blocks on bootanimation and not go on.
Can you tell me why? The same ROM works if I don't overwrite the file [TESTED!]
Thanks.
Didn't maked deodex, used framework_AW_09_17_18_09_1.zip as framework replace with white numbers, for me works w/o deodexing an FC.
If you need file ask in pm.
All what u do in your own risk.
Here u a version A, for odex ROM worked for me
from 4pda.ru framework_AW_09_17_18_09_1.zip
can be updated by using recovery.
and post in forum framework version A

This from http://circle.glx.nl/how_to/ :
"WARNING! Flash UOT file after you have first boot.
If you flashed new rom, boot up your phone first time
and after that reboot into recovery to flash UOT file."
You have to flash your rom with your framework-res.apk, after the first boot, then you can go in recovery and flash the patched framework..I don't know why, but it works..Maybe a bug in UOT kitchen..

Indeed, that's what I do and it works correctly...I've not read that section of the guide on http://circle.glx.nl/how_to/ so I made it by myself...next time will be more careful.
Thanks!

How do I import a ROM into the kitchen to use as my base?
From a shipped ROM:
First, find the shipped ROM for your device, usually from htc.com or from searching xda-developers (check the Wiki or sticky posts under your device's sub-forum).
This link may help: Various devices
Please don't ask me for links, as I don't know everything or own all devices. ;-)
The shipped ROM can be found in three different formats. Identify the type you have downloaded:
If the shipped ROM is in a .ZIP format, then simply copy it to the kitchen's original_update folder.
OR if the shipped ROM consists of system.img and boot.img files, then copy those two files to the kitchen's original_update folder.
OR if the shipped ROM is in an .EXE format, then do the following:
In Windows, run the shipped ROM's .EXE file till it gets to the first dialog. Stop there but don't close the window yet.
Go to Start->Run and type: %TEMP%
When the folder opens, search for Rom.zip (use the "magnifying glass" Search button)
Copy Rom.zip to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a cooked/custom ROM:
Copy the update.zip (or equivalent ZIP file) to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a Nandroid backup (under /sdcard/nandroid) [NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NON-STOCK ROM BACKUPS]:
Copy the system.img and boot.img files from the backup folder to your kitchen's original_update folder
NOTE: The Nandroid-backup method of ROM customization is not the best method, because the kitchen may not account for various advanced options that were added outside of this kitchen (these options are in the update-script file which was in the original ROM but is not in the backup. The kitchen needs to re-create this file and 'guess' those options). However, it will support Nandroid backups that already have basic features like root, busybox and /data/app functionality.

Nice to know that an arabian is cooking
Waiting your builds because i'm sure you will be incorporating arabic roms and full arabic support by default!
This error sound of something wrong in updater-script, in this kitchen you must:
1. convert updater-script to update-script for working on it
2. convert it back to updater-script before make the zip process.
Anyway fore me it worked at 1st shot and this is what i made and in Dsixda thread there is a good tutorial and a video that explain all.

Thanks for your reply, I did convert it back and forth though but still same error. The tutorials are very nice and I did follow them to the letter. Will try again today after I get back home from work and will try to get another base to start from.
Np raptordin,
if you wanna say to me what build you are trying to mod and what mod you want to do, i can give it a go and see if i get the same error.

Will test again in an hour or so when I get home and report back. Thanks for your interest.
Just a reminder -- if you have a boot.img in your ROM's working folder, and it didn't get converted to "boot" folder after building the ROM, then you have to do the conversion manually.
1) Select option 20 - "Unpack or re-pack a boot.img"
2) Select option c - "Convert boot.img into NAND boot folder"
Then you can build.
If you are using a custom HD2 ROM then this step is probably not necessary, as the kitchen will aready have created the boot folder and removed the boot.img. To make sure, just open the .ZIP file that was created by the kitchen after building.
Thanks for info Dsixda,
I'm facing a couple of problems with the Kitchen, here they are:

So you don't have an "a2sd" file under /system/bin or /system/xbin or anywhere else? What options did you select for apps2sd (e.g. runparts?).
2. if i add /data/app (option 13) market apps installation end with an error.

You need to be specific.. what is the error? And when you say 'installation' do you mean while the kitchen is adding the data/app folder, or while the ROM is booting?
Nope, there is nothing in there but there is the script in init.d " 10app2sd", though i'm speaking of original update.zip.

Is it really apps2sd (apps to ext3) or is it just that hack that is used to move all apps to the fat32 partition of the SD card (the option that is in Settings of Cyanogen ROMs)? Can you paste the contents of that file here please (in
Code:

[QUOTE]

I don't know anything about that, probably your device's or ROM's issue because it works elsewhere. When the kitchen adds /data/app to the working folder it only sets the permissions for that folder when flashing.
What you will need:
Basic tools
- Notepad++
- ZIP manager tool like 7zip
Advanced tools
- Cygwin
- smali (assembler/disassembler)
- APKTool/APK Multi-tool
Lets Begin:
Download a ROM (we use CM in this guide) of your choice (don’t forget to get the permissions for it modding from the developer) and extract it. When you extract it, you will see at least two folders and one file
Folders
- system
- META-INF
Files
- boot.img [this is not present in defy/defy+ ROMs so don't worry about it ]
NOTE THAT I AM ONLY GIVING DETAILS ABOUT THOSE FOLDER WHICH YOU CAN REMOVE/EDIT
THE \system\bootmenu\2nd-boot\ FOLDER
In this folder you'll find the kernel [zImage] file of the ROM here you can change it with the one you compiled or by others.
The Tts folder
The ‘TTS folder’ is all about Text-To-Speech. It contains all the files needed by the Android system to get Text-To-Speech working. If you are removing the TTS feature from your ROM, make sure you remove this entire folder and the TTS related apps from the ‘system folder’, as this will save a lot of space.
The WiFi and Usr folders
The WiFi folder contains the drivers required by the WiFi module to function. So i strongly recommend NOT to touch this folder. If you delete any file from this folder, you will mess up the WiFi functionality.
The usr folder contains some miscellaneous but very important stuff. It may contain anything and everything needed by the Android operating system. For instance, this folder contains all the key-mapping. If such files are messed with, your device will be non-functional although it will boot.
The Build.prop
The build.prop file is pretty self-explanatory. Here, you can change the most basic things, like the android version that setting shows. Wondered how people are making 2.3.4 look like 4.0.3 in settings? Its build.prop. Also,you can change what ‘About phone’ shows here.
Other things,you can change things like,how long your wifi scans,how much battery your phone saves while in sleep, Dalvik VM heapsize and default ringtones. If you are wondering what # stands for, it signifies that, the particular line is commented out, and the system does not read it. You can use it add comments to the build.prop. This helps others understand, what is the function of a particular tweak.
A guide for some basic build.prop tweaks can be found here.
Please be aware that, these build.prop modifications are not universal. So, you will have to experiment with the tweaks and their values.
The META-INF folder
This folder contains instructions for the Android Recovery about how to work with the files present in the zip. This folder contains many folders, but the only one we need to edit is the update-script file.
Making Flashable ZIP
In order to create a flashable zip, first zip the ‘system, META-INF’ folder and the ‘boot.img’. Let’s name this zip as ‘update.zip’. Next we need to sign the zip. Get a signer here. Put your update zip in the same folder as the signer. Then run the ‘signer.bat’ file. This will sign your zip file. After the signing process is complete, you can change the name of the zip to your liking.

hi XDA,
i want to modify Settings.apk and add some apk´s to my Lollipop ROM (deodexed and zipaligned).
it was no problem to get a zip template for KK, but now LP has another file structure (each apk has its own folder).
Can somebody post here such a .zip template for LP deodexed ROM that i can make a flashable zip file for my modifications?
Thx
Hello All,
I am trying to add/edit xml files found inside "assets", "vendor" directories of an APK included in system.img of a ROM.
The APK is available at
system/priv-app/CarrierConfig/CarrierConfig.apk
system/priv-app/CarrierConfig/oat/arm64/CarrierConfig.odex
system/priv-app/CarrierConfig/oat/arm64/CarrierConfig.vdex
Is there a guide to edit the xml files inside the apk, re-compile, put it in a ROM.
I am also interested in making this a Magisk module, So that I can install on top of any ROM.
Please share a guide for it.
Wrong section?
Use APK Easy Tool or BatchApkTool for de recompiling.
For extract Rom use System Extractor WIN master.
All this tool search in Google!
Senior Member what you doing here? Go to to right section!
I had this,
system/priv-app/CarrierConfig/CarrierConfig.apk
system/priv-app/CarrierConfig/oat/arm64/CarrierConfig.odex
system/priv-app/CarrierConfig/oat/arm64/CarrierConfig.vdex
I used apktool to decompile the apk and recompiled it after my modifications. I have also zip aligned and signed the APK.
Can I just replace the apk without modifying or touching the vodex and odex files(I made changes only to the XML files. No java files changed in the modification)?
