This is how I make my ROMs in w7 Ultimate 64bit
Software needed:

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?

Hey, thanks for the quick answer.'ve opened the magic iso serched for the file and pressed the option to extract, and it extracted in the location file i choosed, bu the extracted content its just the same as the original file, same size, same name, same rfs extention. What was i suposed to get with the extraction, several files? I'll try to make it again and try to extract it before anoying you to post some captures, if it doesn't works, i'll be back to be a pain in the ass again

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

You provide more than enough! Your first optimized ROM! I learn a lot by looking at it. Then, with this tutorial, I was able to build my first customized ROM by following exactly that you wrote.
You should change the "**MIGHT**" work to "**SURELY**" work!

Thanks for the compliment.
I will keep the **MIGHT** because there are always people who try crazy things (me included) like random porting of ROMs so it's safer this way. xD
If anyone interested to try compile acro68 kernel, I recommend to look into this link: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source
Very detailed, step by step and only need to change the kernel source to point to: https://github.com/arco/samsung-kernel-ancora/tree/gingerbread (for GB)
Once the make is successful, you will get an zImage.
Now, in Kitchen, you should have already use option 20 to extract the boot image. Replace the newly generated zImage to get a shiny new kernel. Of cause, you need to pack it back and finally build your ROM.
Finally, replace the ./samsung-kernel-ancora/drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329/dhd.ko to ROM's system/etc/wifi/dhd.ko.

Hello guys,
Latest Arabic rom link :
Here
Could you please make this rom deodex ?
I am trying to make it using dsixda kitchen but I could not.
i found something in this forum....can this mathod used for sgw?look likes same i follow some of the guide.....
Hey Guys,
I am going to explain some of the files in a custom rom,the small and easy to mod files because the aim is to educate newbies and NOT advanced devs.
Ok,So,I have seen a lot of questions being asked nowadays about making custom roms.This guide is NOT about building a custom rom but about editing and modding it.I am doing this guide taking CM7 as base,not stock,so there might be differences between the roms you choose to mod.Also,I am prone to mistakes here and there.If i made any,please comment about it and i will remove it.Also,please feel free to give your suggestions about making this guide better
What you would need:
Notepad++
WinRar or any other zip/rar manager like 7zip or WinZip
If you want go advanced,you would also need these things
Cygwin
Smali/Baksmali
APK Multi tool or anything like that,i dont care
And most importantly,a brain and eyes(So,Dont ask me stupid questions like,how de fuk du i xtarct? and then in brackets,sorry for my english)
GUIDE:
So,first up,download a rom of your choice(Dont forget to get the permissions for modding from the developer) and extract it.When you extract it,you will see 2 folders and 1 file,it varies.It depends on the contents of the rom.
The folders are:
1.META-INF
2.system
The file:
1.boot.img
So,
Open up system and the first folder you are going to see is 'apps'.
As you already see,this is the place where all the apps go,for the history.You might also see some .odex files below the apps.So,if you remove an app,you should delete the odex file too.If you want to add an app,just drag and drop Take care not to delete each and every app you find,because each of them has their own functions.Also,if you delete contact.apk and replace it with a better dialer like Exdialer,you wont be able to add or delete contacts.So,there are some files better left alone.
If you want to know how to merge them,then use google,there are a lot of tutorials on deodexing.If you want to edit an app,then use APK multi tool,again please use google,lots of tuts on this one too.
Also,you will find an app here and its a main one,systemui.apk By editing systemui.apk,you can get transparent status bars,transparent notification bars,centre the clock.Things like that.The idea with which you edit Systemui.apk and framework-res.apk,thats how your rom is going to look like.These files handle the visual things and they are awesome too.For some systemui mods,refer HERE
Next,the 'bin' folder,this guide is aimed at the noobs,so nothing about this,this is a bit advanced stuff,so sorry.
Next up,the 'etc' folder.There are a lot of things that go here.I wont be going to full details for the moment because i am having exams,so no time.However,i will be explaining the easy to explain files.
One thing you will notice is the 'init.d' folder.If you want to add any script like LagFree v2,just put the files of the init.d folder in the script's folder here,nothing else.You dont need to copy any other files like META-INF.
Another file,is CHANGELOG-CM,just as the name suggests its a file giving you changelogs
Another file is NOTICE.html..Its just a file showing copyrights and all that stuff.You wouldnt need to edit that,would you?
Will add more about the other files soon
Next,the 'fonts' folder..You guys need an explanation for that??
Next,'framework' folder.Here you will find framework-res.apk(Obviously,duh...).I wont tell about any other file because this is aimed at new users,not advanced guys.Framework-res is where all the icons in notification bar are.The battery icons,they are all in framework.Also,lockscreen icons
go here..Most of the icons.If i have to start on anything.It would take me weeks,theres so much to write about framework.Also take care not to mess up the framework.Because its like the skeleton(thats what i know ) of a rom.If a framework is incorrectly configured,the rom wont boot.So,keep that in your mind always when you edit framework.
Next,the 'libs' folder,This guide is aimed at newbies,so not touching this part.
And comes 'media'..Most probably you will find 2-3 folders here.Audio,bootanimation.zip and wallpapers.
If you want to change the default,its in build.prop,not here,i will explain that later.If you need to add some audio,its just drag and drop,nothing much,just put them in the right folders,like alarms,ringtones and notifications
If you need to add wallpapers,reszie the pictures to 640x480,thats the resolution that works for ace.Also resize it to 107x80 and save it as another pic with a _small at the end.For eg,the default file is defaultwallpaper.jpg,you make another pic with 107x80 called defaultwallper_small.jpg.
Then,theres the bootanimation.zip..However way you change this thing.Always name it bootanimation.If you want to know how to make a boot animation,then refer freeyourandroid.com
Next up is 'tts' folder..Sorry but i dont know much about this folder.I think this folder contains the languages for the tts app but i am not sure about it.Same goes for 'usr' and 'wifi' folders.But since this thread is aimed at newbies,i dont think there wouldnt a point in writing them up anyway
Next up is build.prop file.Open it with notepad++...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,that particular tweak is not running,so you can take out the # if its a tweak you like.You could also use it say things like,Additional build properties.You could make it #AdditionalBuildProperties and go to the next line and give your tweaks there.Some build.prop tweaks can be found in slaid480's thread in Galaxy Ace S5830 titled "[MOD]Build.prop tweaks for SGA" or you can go to freeyourandroid.com and find some tweaks there,however the tweaks listed there are universal,so practise caution when playing with build.prop
Now to boot.img..Theres an awesome guide about this in freeyourandroid.com Please have a look at it,because there are lots to write about this one.This is where Cygwin comes in,for instructions on unpacking and repacking and commands and info about boot.img,referHERE and HERE.My summarized version,boot.img is where you can replace kernels.This is where you can make those low-level changes
Then,to META-INF folder.You would find lots of folders here but the file that you would edit consistently is update script.Find it and open it with Notepad++..Unless you edited xbin and bin files,this is not hard to do..Just change around ui_print to what you like.Dont touch anything else if you dont know what you are doing.If you DID edit xbin or bin files,you would need to touch advanced things like symlink tagged ones(I had to give them some sort of a tag)
Now on making it a flashable zip,archive them to a zip file.Get a signer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...96&postcount=2
The instructions on using that are given with it.Just rename it back to the name you like after signing it.
ganesh...will this work on stock ROM ?

Ok I am going to keep this simple. These tool will allow you to add any battery image to any TW ROM. First unzip the tools. Then all you need to do is grap the framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and SystemUI.apk from which ever ROM you are using and/or want to change the battery images for. Now grab the 204 PNG's for your new battery. Place these in the folders that are named as such. I have included a zip with a bunch of battery PNG's for you to use. Even the ones from my ROMs. Some are complete and some are not though. You HAVE to have 204 images or the tool will not start. Enjoy!
Side note, need a tester for the Windows tool as I tweaked it but have not tested. Thanks!
How to:
Code:
For Linux (Tested on Ubuntu12.04 64-bit)
Before anything:
add the required apks (framework-re.apk, twframework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk) to the folder "Input_APKs."
then you will need to add all 204 battery PNG'd to "Input_Images"
now you will:
1) Make sure these packages are installed.
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk (step 4)
****** Do not just click on the Mod_Battery.sh file. Open a terminal
and run it! *************************
2) Open terminal in the Battery_Mod_Tool_v1.2/Working_Dir folder and run:
./Mod_Battery.sh
3) If you are having problems then make sure the following files are executable.
./Working_Dir/Mod_Battery.sh
./Working_Dir/7za
./Working_Dir/aapt
4) You may notice some java errors whilst running the Mod_Battery.sh script.
If so you need to install java. The instructions for Linux are below...
5) As of now for Infamous 4.4 the Framework-res.apk, twframework-rek.apk, and SystemUI.apk are included. 4.5+ you will need to add the apks yourself.
[/B]
Code:
[B]For Windows:
Before anything:
add the required apks (framework-re.apk, twframework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk) to the folder "Input_APKs."
then you will need to add all 204 battery PNG'd to "Input_Images"
now you will:
- Double-click "Mod_my_battery!.bat" and sit back and wait
NOTE:
If you modify ANY files within the "Working_Dir" folder, the process will not work. Do not rename, remove or add any files to this directory
URL for Java Development Kit:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u1-download-513651.html
to download JDK, Simply;
1) Select "Accept License Agreement".
2) Select "jdk-7xx-windows-xxx.exe" for your version of Windows. (Windows x86 = 32-bit, Windows x64 = 64-bit)
3) Run installer with default settings should be fine.[/B]

You can extract the img file using a kitchen, like SuperR's: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...chen-superr-s-kitchen-v1-1-50-v2-1-6-t3597434
It's only free on GNU/Linux. If you're using Windows, you'll need the donate version of the kitchen. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...dows-linux-superr-s-kitchen-v3-0-0-0-t3601702
Happy reading and learning.
