[Q] building a rom

I have builded my rom I've zipaligned it and deodexed. I've packed rom with cygwin and tried to flash it via CWM but it won't flash. does anybody knows how to pack a rom?

Not sure if i am understanding you correct .
Rezip and sign a rom i use . signing -zip posted here sorry cannot find the link .
jje
Details
his script has 2 main uses:
1. Modify an update.zip
2. Create an update.zip
For #1 - You just extract the contents of an update.zip into the placehere folder, modify its contents, and run the script stating to create an update.zip
For #2 - So far these are the options i have in there for create the update-script
1. Copy directories
2. Copy files
3. Create Symlinks
4. Delete file
5. Delete directory
6. Flash boot image
7. Set permissions for file
8. Set permissions for directory
New Features in 2.0 :
- Set java heap size / compression level for zip
- New drag/drop mode.
>>> - If you drag a folder onto the script's icon (as in Script.bat) it will compress the contents of the folder into a zip and sign it.
>>> - If u drag a zip onto the script's icon (as in Script.bat) it will sign the zip for you.
So this script guides u as u select each option, and adds the appropriate command to the update-script file. Then u exit that sub-menu and create update.zip

I've fixed it already anyway thanks for help

No offense to you.. but i am honestly getting sick of this question being asked over and over and over again. YOU HAVE TO READ PREVIOUS FORUMS OR AT LEAST SEARCH BEFORE POSTING A NEW ONE! But heres your answer..
1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. (Or if you have a back-up, that will work too!)
2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).
3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.
4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.
5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.
6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).
7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.
8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!
***NOTE THIS IS NOT MY FIND. I WAS HELPED WITH SAME ISSUE. I AM NOT COPYING ANYONES HARD WORK***
thats your answer. When it says locate deodex locate the stock deodex not the deodex debloated version. Follow steps. It works. I did it. And im running sd3.

Tutorial- Port ARMv7 games to ARMv6

Just developed this method (had nothing better to do ) ,but requires root acess.
DO NOT WORK WITH ALL APPS
1-Download Astro file manager and rom toolbox from market (google play store).
2-Put the app in an empty folder at your SdCard.
3-Exctract it (to that folder, of course )
4-At rom toolbox, select "build.prop editor" option, and change both "ro.prodduct.cpu.abi" lines from "armeabi-v6l" to "armeabi-v7l" and change both "ro.product.brand" and "ro.product.manufacturer" lines to "LGE" and after this, change the "ro.product.model" line to "LG-P970" , press menu button and select reboot option.
5-Download the correct armv6 lib file of your game (google it) anf go to astro file manager (to the: folder of the extracted game) and go to lib/armeabi-v7l/ and delete the file if was here, now get the downloaded lib file, put it here and rename it to the name of the file you'v been deleted. Now get "multi" option and select all extracted files and select "zip", and wait it complete, after this rename the .zip file to .apk file, install and play!
yep, i am brazilian and i developed this method! (had nothing better to do)

And......why Optimus Black user need to port it?
No offence

Deodexed stock Telus/Koodo rom

I'm looking for a deodexed version of the stock Telus/Koodo (Canada) rom for Galaxy Ace. I have the odexed version, but I'm not sure how to deodex. If anyone knows where I can get the deodexed version, or can help me with deodexing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Quietly, THIS IS DEVELOPMENT SECTION and not Q&A or GENERAL, POST IT THERE, here will be posted roms! READ THE XDA RULES BEFORE POSTING -.-

I only know how to deodex on Windows.
First have/download your SG Ace firmware (Canada)
Extract your firmware contents using MagicISO to: firmware_name\system
Download AutoDEOTool1.0.4 (Just a modified version of the tool, including updated binaries)
Unzip it to a directory without spaces e.g: C:\
Move/Copy your firmware's apps and framework files to: _app & _framework
Run AutoDEOToolMain.bat
Hit 2 to be specific.
To find your bootclasspath, just download Terminal Emulator on your Android phone
Run the command: echo $BOOTCLASSPATH
To save it in your sdcard, run: echo $BOOTCLASSPATH>>/sdcard/bootclasspath.txt​
Open the bootclasspath.txt, remove any "/system/framework/" codes (without the quotes) then save it
Now copy everything in bootclasspath.txt
Then in the AutoDEOToolMain windows, paste your bootclasspath & hit enter
This will deodex all files in _app & _framework
NOTE: If there are still some odexed files left, then use dsixda's kitchen to deodex the remaining files.​
Now copy/move all files in _app to your firmware's /system/app folder
Copy/move all files in _framework to your firmware's /system/framework folder
Now you have a deodexed Canada firmware!
Download these rom_tools and extract it to the root of the extracted firmware (firmware_name)
Now add the boot.img
Zip it and to flash it!

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. What exactly do the rom tools do? I looked at the archive, and I'm pretty sure busybox means root, but what about the rest?

META-INF folder is to flash the ROM
format.sh formats your Ace/Gio
installbusybox.sh installs busybox
mkfs.ext4 is the tool that format.sh uses

The CWM backup is located in '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/' (from root) and is not visible from the pc.
Using ES file explorer or root explorer copy the folder in the '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/' directory to '/data/media/0/' and then you'll be able to see it from your pc and copy across....... remember to delete the copy from '/data/media/0/' afterwards

Unfortunately, i do not have such directory path like you specified.
I installed Clockwork Rom Manager and it tells me the backup is in inaccesible area, path: Device: mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup
But the mnt/shell folder is empty and I cant find clockword folder. Any solution to this ?

When navigating to root with a file explorer are you unable to see the directories I listed?

Using your path, I can only go for: Device: /data/ and it is empty

No it can't be empty.... check your file explorer is root enabled, if you're using ES then settings>tools>root explorer
