i now know how to add apk files to an update.zip, but the bootanimation.zip just went right over my head

If i want a new bootscreen, do i have to make a whole new custom rom, or can i just flash the new bootscreen?

You can just delete all other files and folder so you only have fx if your bootscreen is placed like this: META-INF and system system> customize> resource>bootanimation.zip
That should be your only files and folders. Of course if you your bootscreen is placed in data/local/bootanimation.zip then that should be your only directories and files

Limit?
Really like this and it would make trying different Rom easier for me but is there a limit to the amount of apk's you can add or a maximum Rom size?
Have tried again and again over the last couple of days to add 32 (free market apk's) to VillianRom12 but can only get a successful flash at around 12 Apk's and a Rom size of 122mb.
All other tries give me an Error while flashing saying something along the lines of "Error with Line 11" and "Flash aborted".
After a successful flash and reboot 'SD & Phone storage' says I have 158mb of Internal Phone Storage is that different storage to where the Rom is Flash.
If this is not possible can I flash an Update.zip with just the apks?
Thanks. A bit of a Noob.

Yes I think there's a limit of how many apps you can add you just have to install the rest manually

I installed the new Pancake ROM on my HTC Tattoo. I can't find the location of my current bootscreen. Do i have to replace the bootscreen.zip in the ROM and flash this ROM, or do i just have to copy the new bootscreen to my sd-card and find the location to paste it at the right place?

Hi,
Very nice idea and good tutorial.
But for me, it doesn't work.
I want to add EsFileExplorer to my FroydVillan 1.0.0 (Froyo 2.2) rom.
I copy the file in app folder, i save, i signe my new rom.
I flash my HTC Hero, all is OK, but when i want to use EsFileExplorer, Android says: "Must close ES File Explorer (process .com.estrongs.android.pop). Please try again".
Can you help me ?
Thx
PS: I try with Astro file explorer and same issue

My post no. 200 LMAO
That happens sometimes. Not all apps work when they are put in system/app. Try putting them in data instead. If that doesen't work you just can't do it with those apps and you'll have to install them from market...
BTW are you sure these apps are Froyo compatible?

A list of what the apps are and whether they are safe to remove would be really helpful. Although probably a lot of work to compile. Just a suggestion. Great tutorial though

I just tried to flash through metamorph its saying that it doesn't have a certain file for ot to be flashed through metamorph
Yeah I tried it and I get the samething.
The theme control file exists in the .ZIP, but Metamorph isn't picking it up. Even if I place the .THM file and .ZIP in the AndroidThemes folder on my SD... NO WORKIE!
how to get this to work in metamorph:
1) After u download this file to ur SD, use a file manager such as EStrongs Filemanager.
2) Find the .zip file that you just previously downloaded, click and choose to unzip/extract it.
3) Find the new folder u just extracted to and open it.
4) U will c 2 folders. Delete the Mac one & copy the other to AndroidThemes (located in the root of SD card).
5) Open Metamorph, click Open Existing, find the folder again and then then .thm file.
well... I got this to work, but must say that the image quality is really poor. It looks sorta 8-Bit on my MT3G...
are there any other boot animations available for metamorph?

Help!

Hey all, I'm currently in RA after flashing the recovery image , and I'm trying to install the FRESH rom on there but for some reason when I try to "Flash zip from sdcard" it's telling me "No zip files found." Why is that? I have the whole zip folder placed in the main SD card, so why is it telling me it's not found?

I responded to you on http://GeekFor.Me, but the reason is because RA looks in the root of sdcard, the zips can't be inside of any folders.
So does that mean I have to take out all the individual files and place them directly into the root of the sdcard? Because I just basically copied the download folder and dropped it into the root. Thanks for the reply

You need to leave the files in a .zip, but yea that zip needs to be on the root of the sdcard.
The only file you need to install the rom is fresh-cdma-hero-20d.zip (for fresh rom 2.0d). Any other zips are just addons or tweaks or whatever they may be.

Hmm, I'm on a Mac and maybe it's me but the link I download from gives me an actual folder rather than a zip. And when I rename the folder to a zip, it gives an error. Is there a mirror link to download an actual zip folder?
Boogie when you download it dont opening after it finishes downloading .. just use the finder to navigate to where its at and then copy that to your sd .. when you open it on a mac it will automatically create the extracted folder .. hope this helps ...
Sounds like your using Safari to download it. To make this easier in the future go to Safari > Preferences > General and make sure that "Open safe files after downloading" is NOT check-marked.
Safari is unpacking the zip file for you. The file you want is in your trash bin, drag it to the root of your SD card and that's it..
Ok I'm gonna give it another go. Since I made it all the way through to the RA stage, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to flash the rom is there?
Thanks for all the help everyone I finally got it to flash the FRESH rom, but once I rebooted it, it's still in the "HTC" branded screen. Is it loading? It's not going anywhere but this screen, although I know it's doing something because the animation shine is moving.

After flashing a new ROM, it can take up to 10 minutes or so to load.
Nice Everything is all good! Now my last question is how do I get the removed apps from the ROM back onto here? I actually prefer to have some of those programs back onto the phone.

There is a link in the release notes to download all the removed apk's from Fresh Rom. You will then need to use adb push to push them back to /system/app. Search for how to setup adb on a mac as I honestly don't know.

[Script][Beta] Theme Backup/Restore

Hey,
Not sure if its the right section, but flashing themes is what got me to make this script in first place.
So this script essentially works like :
You drag/drop a theme update.zip onto it.
It then goes through the .zip and see's what its replacing.
Then from your phone it'll backup those files into a cwm flashable .zip
[Windows Only][Only backs up system partition content that .zip replaces]
Instructions :
Download this
Extract [To a directory whose path has no spaces or wierd characters]
Drag a theme update.zip onto UpdateBacker.bat
Follow through
Main purpose is so you have a backup incase of those theme flashes that ended up screwing things up.
Note : This is beta, i have only tested on mine.
Hope it works lol.
Updates :
Added adb/java check
Added push to sdcard
EDIT: The entire contents of the unzipped folder need to be inside the tools section of your sdk for the .bat to work.
This is a great little tool. First try for me worked flawlessly.
I'm on a Samsung Captivate if it makes any difference.

Ur too kind.
Let me know if it works. If people like/use this then i will keep updating and adding features.
Tried this last night and it worked perfect. I backed up my current theme then applied a bunch of corrupt .9's resulting in force close city. Applied the backup and everything returned to as it was.
Top marks once again.
How about an option to backup to flash.zip or a Metamorph file, would this be possible?

Not sure what you mean by flash.zip, it already creates a flashable update.zip. Unless ur referring to renaming it to something else ?
As for metamorph, perhaps but id imagine it might be tricky.

You should just do what LDrifta said if your still having problems.
OH and regarding the update-script, heres your answer straight from the op of the kitchen:
QUESTION: Why do I need to convert the ROM's updater-script to an update-script when using the kitchen?
The kitchen can only perform operations on an update-script. UpdateR-scripts are too complicated to check because there are so many combinations of parameters for every command and for different devices; plus they can be written in different formatting styles. Thus the kitchen converts them to update-script so that there is one universal method to modify any device's configuration. If we didn't convert the updater-script then it would take months of work to overhaul the dozens of scripts (plus doubling my work) to accept updater-scripts, which would really NOT make a difference in the end anyway and would likely slow down the kitchen due to extra checks made in the updater-script. So please do not request this again and again, there is no gain in doing it (I also don't have that much free time ...).
When you build the ROM you have the option of converting it back to an updater-script, or the kitchen will convert it automatically if it decides it's necessary. The conversion back to the original updater-script is near-perfect, as I have already spent months on the implementation to get it right.
QUESTION: I have converted my update-script to an updater-script, but after flashing I still have the original ROM on the device.
That means your updater-script did not have the proper mount points defined for the system (and/or data) partition. Refer to this post for more info.
QUESTION: My device only supports ROMs with the updater-script/update-binary files but not the update-script
If you extract a ROM that contains an updater-script, then the kitchen will ask you if it should convert it to an update-script. You *must* use an update-script while customizing the ROM, as the kitchen is not capable of modifying updater-scripts. When you are ready to build the ROM, though, you will need to convert it back to an updater-script if the device requires it. Use the option in the Advanced menu to convert update-script to updater-script, or else the kitchen will ask you to convert it while building the ROM.

ok well depending on what apk's you are putting in.. if they are system required like a sense app.. it wont work on a froyo base rom.. but if its something like superuser or mail or something and is compatible with your rom than put it in system/app folder.. if its something that you want the choice to uninstall later on like a 'task killer' apk or something, place it in data/app folder..
and to sign it you dont need kitchen, you can download an auto-sign.zip file for windows here on xda.. all you do is unzip it directly to C: drive, place zip file in filder rename it to 'update.zip' than run the 'sign.bat' and it will sign the zip file. than you can flash it

did u do this on Kitchen?
If you want to add Market or non-stock apps (*.apk) to your ROM (which can be uninstalled or updated from your device later) then select the kitchen's menu option that adds "/data/app functionality". Afterwards you can copy these .apk files to the new /data/app folder of your working folder.
EDIT; After your done adding/deleting all the apps, dont forget to use the sign apk command to sign.

I read the thread, and he said he dropped some of the phones he was porting miui for, he was still doing the eris/hero. So seems to me he maybe dropped the g1, not sure tho. I guess you're gonna have to wait til either delsa is done porting it to the g1 or drakko.

Accidentally Parsed "ro.build.description" (In Dire Need Of Help)

Hello ladies and gents. As you may have been able to tell from the title, I made a huge mistake when playing around with my phone's build.prop file. I had tapped on the ro.build.description file and it pulled up the keyboard. I accidentally input an "r", so I deleted it, then saved and left the prop file, thinking everything was fine and proper. Unfortunately, that was not so. Upon my next reboot, I discovered several problems. The Playstore and gallery crash upon every open, and even worse, my internal memory isn't being recognized. I know the problems must be originating from the build description prop file, since that was the only prop file change that had happened since my last reboot. If anyone could give any tips on how to fix this or mount the external sd as internal, that would be wonderful. I need to be able to screnshot, install apps, and perform other functions that require internal storage. Please help me out ASAP.

extract the build.prop file from your rom.zip
make a flashable zip & flash it. will work normal again
(ifm u dont know how to make flashable zip, just get any flashable mod,
extract all files, delete all files , only leave the meta-inf folder with its data inside untouched & a folder called "system",
put build.prop into system folder, now mark both folders --> right click --> send to zip, put on sd & flash)
good luck!

I'm really sorry, but I don't know what you mean by my Rom. Generally, I'm pretty knowledgeable about my Android, but I've only been rooted for about a week. If by rom you mean like ClockworkMod or something, I'm just on my stock rom. If you mean something else, I don't know. And which slot in Odin would put this in? I only have experience with .tar and .md5.

I'm really sorry, but I don't know what you mean by my Rom. Generally, I'm pretty knowledgeable about my Android, but I've only been rooted for about a week. If by rom you mean like ClockworkMod or something, I'm just on my stock rom. If you mean something else, I don't know. And which slot in Odin would put this in?

sorry my llate reply, lets go
he bro u know whats the rom ) you say you are on stock rom, thats all i need.
clockwork mod is no rom, its a recovery.
sorry was a small hazzle for me as you use the AT&T version of the phone, now to the solution:
we need to just replace the damaged build prop with original one.
1. download the system image here: http://www.mrcrab.net/viewstockrom/19845-sm-g730a.html (or anywhere if u find, maybe at SAMMOBILE)
2. (try) to extract the parts of it, we need the system image. if u dont know how just google it, maybe some tools needed for diffrent kind of datas. once all extracted the build.prop is inside system (-folder). copy it to SD & replace via any ROOT explorer, set the right permissions, like in this pic LINK, reboot done.
if you CANT extract that image, make you ready for completly new install of your ROM.

I can do that, but I have a problem. I can't download the file from the link you provided. Could you find me a different place to download the image from, or maybe even give me a direct download link? Thanks.

Little help here, did Selinux news to set to permissive to make the permission become permanent? Because sometimes when I change a dir perm it didn't stick, it change back when quit i explorer.
Thanks in advance.

i use slimkat 4.4.4 by android-andi on SGS3 Mini (i8190n).
1. using root explorer, changing perm on the first / (the root dir, i believe).
2. this one is new problem, nothing to do with our recent dialogs, hope can get some idea on this one.
yesterday, i install android tweaker app, and set the auto system/device tweak( can't remember exact) and reboot my device
to apply the setting. and got stuck on boot animation (blinking 'SAMSUNG' anim, after the 'GT I8190N' image on ori ROM). it
didn't loop (no bootloop), just stuck on blinking animation, boot image i guest?
Any idea just throw in please, really want to try and confirm on any solution we got in mind.
thanks in advance everyone.
