ROM Factory​

What is ROM Factory?

Its a tool that will allow the user to create a picture perfect .img from your boot and system partition. It will then create an update.zip from it.

What is a "Fruit Cake"?

A fruit cake is the finish product, a self contain rom, already ready for installation, already inside an update.zip.

So really what does it do?

It allows a bootloader unlocked user to create a full copy of their boot and system partition. All of it, including mods and changes done to either one of those partitions.

Can this be use for easier rom development?

Yes! Beyond just its normal capabilities! After installing the resources you can modify the script and add things to it in *sdcard* /fcm/workdir! Once you are done adding and changing things in there, press "Create ROM".

Supported Devices:

olympus (atrix), sunfire (photon), triumph, WX435, fb0 (triumph), p999 (lg g2x), p990 (lg o2x), p970 (lg optimus black), ace (htc desired hd), pyramid (htc sensation), galaxys2, GT-I9100, GT-I9100M, GT-I9100T, SGH-I777, SGH-I727, hercules, crespo (nexus s), crespo4g (nexus s 4g), toro (cdma galaxy nexus), maguro (gsm galaxy nexus)

Experimental Support:

umts_jordan(defy), wingray, stingray (xoom)
​

Your phone must be rooted!

doesn't back up boot.img ?

I've an insecure boot.img (ro.secure) on 4.03 crespo.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
it should back up the boot img, if it dosnt, write me and ill fix it :D
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wildestpixel:
I am herewith writing you !
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
please if you could get a logcat of it, and also the script generated.

add an issues to the bug tracker that way we can work together and solve the issue

http://code.google.com/p/fruit-cake-maker/issues/list

do the same for any feture you guys would like to see
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] JohnCorleone:
It could have been a conflict with the ICS ROM I was using. I downloaded from your direct link then when I went to the market it showed update available and it updated so let me see where it goes from here..
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
yeah ive done a bunch of improvements to the actual zip and its contents, now the script is generated, so it lessens the room for error. and 4.0.3 support is also there.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] JohnCorleone:
....it looks like everything is working now! I am on aosp's ICS ROM v43. The pic with status bar is where it stays for 4 or 5 minutes (estimate) while creating the Fruit Cake. Last pic was a 2nd run so I could catch the "Fruitcake Created" image
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] JohnCorleone:
And I think this logcat caught the whole process in case you need it. Edit..so I can flash a fcm update.zip say after I test a ROM and get my previous full setup back?

http://db.tt/3bJhuFxx
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] JohnCorleone:
The dreaded triple post but I can't edit in pictures. I will be back to check for my answers tomorrow. If I can flash one of these zips and get my whole setup back (hope I am understanding this) then this is great!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
the setup will only flash the boot and system partition, no data, i will be adding a back up option next release, just to make a quick back up!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
sorry for the no0b question... but what do i do with the "fruit cake" once it's created??
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
you could install it using cwm.

you could open it up in linux or windows and study it, learn how you could make one of your own by hand.

you could also modify the installation script, edify is really simple.

you could share it.

thats the cool part about it, all the components of a rom inside an installation file. now you just need to modify it!

btw

rc4 v1.5 will be out on january 1st at some point

and it will be a huge jump up. a few new fetures and faster creation. it will also be the foundation of "rom maker", another app coming soon!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
so in the plainest english i can understand...

it makes an install file of EXACTLY what your phone has so that after a complete wipe/restore/etc, i can just install that file as an update and it would be back to the way it was before?

sorry if i'm a pain, just trying to understand this...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
it does not save the data, so no. it will be a fresh install, but not a back up!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
fixed* ;)

so does it save all the apps i installed but not their data? that's good enough for me if it does lol

i understand it stores all the mods and such so i wouldn't have to re-install those right?

again, i hope i'm not annoying here... but i'm sure someone else reading this thread has these questions too :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] NicholasQ:
Yea I'm wondering the same thing
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
no, apps are in the data partition, as of yet, this tool is mainly for devs, i will be adding fetures that will add some basic back up modes, but not right now!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
thanks for your response!! i think i understand better now lol

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] JohnCorleone:
So this ROM Maker you are working on. ..will that be able to save your full setup in a zip? It would be great to be able to make a zip of your full setup, upload to Dropbox, and share it with someone so they can just flash it and be running the identical setup.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
i agree 100% that would be awesome!! or even for testing a bunch of other roms and having the option to go back to what you had in case you changed your mind :cool:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
No, back up mode will be enable on this phone on the next version. Just adding features 1 by 1, so we can work out the bugs quicker!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wildestpixel:
any updates ?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fergie716:
Hey, is anyone having an issue where the boot.img isn't being backed up? I've tried a few times and nothing. The system.img backup works fine.

Actually this is a very useful tool. Data Backup would be nice. I contacted the dev and gave him our location for user data so maybe that'll be a reality in the future
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
Sorry guys, an update for this tool is on the way, i unfortunately started a new job not to long ago so im still on that first week of hassles and time making. but soon i will sit full time to work on it again. sorry for the wait
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
anyways, for latest info always visit http://fcm.x10.mx/joomla/
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fergie716:
On ur site you mentioned no one gave you info on the user data but I'm pretty sure we exchanged words and told you the location?

Anyway, in case it got lost in the shuffle, here it is

/dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/userdata, /data

I'm still trying to figure out why the boot.img is not being backed up, at least for me
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wildestpixel:
And for info boot partition on Nexus S is MTD2

1.6 - The update that took a month. Will be release today. This will be amazing. I'm just waiting on testers.

Advance Mode

Apps Mode

Back Up Mode

New look

Open Source components

New site, new forums, new devices.

The update will be made available late tonight or early tomorrow. Depends on how tire I am after i get off work.

We are alive and kicking. Since release, Fruit Cake Maker has been downloaded 1,956 times. We are 556 active developers. A total of 12 bugs have been crushed. We currently work on 20+ devices and devices variants.

Nightlys and experimental.

Starting Feb 1st or 2nd. My build bot will begin auto compiling nightlys for those who want to experiment with the latest changes. Nightlys will be compile each night and made available no later than midnight.

An experimental build will begin to be compile mid Feb. the build will be compile every friday at 6pm. The experimental build will feture a different preference screen, and will require the user to specify all the variables. ie: boot location, system location, storage, mode. so on. This build aims at enthusiast who wish to use the tool on a non supported device.

FCM now has requirements. Busybox must be installed to use the back up mode.

Thank guys for your support.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:
sent you a PM Sam... PLEASE help!! :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
I'm currently waiting on Google.

I submitted the new version into the market, but somehow i ended up with an older version being available for download. hopefully this issue will be solved soon. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] wildestpixel:
Look forward to it.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] samcripp:
1.6 finally!

Some of the testers are reporting errors with the new modes, but changing storage location seem to be working quit good. I will be writing a tutorial on how to properly use all the new modes. Regardless, this new version requires Busybox for app mode, and back up mode. It must be installed on /system/xbin << same location used by cm7 and cm9. I will be releasing a new version tomorrow or Thursday, to fix some of the new mode woes.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] the1dynasty:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdubli:
I have a new HTC Radar and when i sign in with my Indian hotmail account and try downloading apps from market place, I get a ntification that I have reached a max 5 numbers and I need to delete one device from Zune.

However, in Zune, I do not see the sign in option hence i cannot delete the device.

Can anyone guide/help, as how to delete the older devices ?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaitanya91845:
Ah..the great hdubli :) I used to run your ROMS on my Asus P320 :)

Just a suggestion. Go to Control Panel<<Region and Language and change format, Location and System locale(in Administrative) to United States and see if you are getting sign in option in Zune.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goonish:
So I've had my phone for a few days now, haven't received my case/screen protector yet..

I've noticed got 2 little scratches, isn't this gorilla glass?? I thought it was meant to be hard to scratch!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
its not gorilla glass. its hardened glass.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nbass668:
where is your source? no one (official) confirmed its not Gorilla... apart from blogs and tech websites either stating it is gorilla or it is not...

while it is Gorilla or not... I am unable (yet) to get this thing scratched with all the abuse it got from me so far.

P.S. in a previous post one of the members spoke directly with Samsung Support and confirmed it is indeed Gorilla... he posted the screenshots.. however.. this is yet not really a confirmation.. we can only confirm if and only Samsung and/or Corning confirm the info...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eliashadow:
If you check gorillas official page, there is nowhere exist the Note.

Sent from the best smartphone, Galaxy Note...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nbass668:
yes we all know that.. because Corning seems didnt update it (not sure) because the last device mentioned is the S2 and there are many new devices from Samsung and many others (has Gorilla) but not mentioned/updated..

you see, I am not trying to argue you guys... but really the fact Samsung never mentioned its Gorilla on the Note official Samsung page (neither they ever mentioned even for the S2) our only source of info is always Corning website and they didn't add many devices to the list since long already in the Market with Gorilla. such as the new Samsung 8.9 or the 7+ samething with other brands if i recall.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Sigh....

GORILLA GLASS IS IN THE NOTE

GORILLA GLASS ISNT SCRATCH PROOF

GORILLA GLASS ISNT SCRATCH PROOF

GORILLA GLASS ISNT SCRATCH PROOF
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
sorry if you interpreted my response as an insult, it wasnt meant like that.

but basically, from my experience with cars and computer parts... who cares what branding it has? who cares if its branded as gorilla glass or branded as hardened glass? if its still tough enough to be scratch resistant and still does the job, then does it really matter whether its branded or not?

my galaxy note screen has no scratches on it. i kept it in the same pocket as my keys as well until i got my flip cover a week ago. still no scratches. this was before my screen protectors arrived.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goonish:
The scratches are tiny but clearly visible. Considering I haven't haven't abused it all and my old inspire 4g had no scratches and was abused I think this glass isn't as good and isn't gorilla at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
WHAT NOTE DOESN'T HAVE GORILLA GLASS???

WHY IT DOESN'T HAVE IT, GG IS SO SCRATCH PROOF. BUT THEN WHY PEOPLE GOT SCRATCHES ON THERE PHONES?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
Holy crap guys, stop arguing about something that is really stupid. It's not going to change the fact that the dudes screen is scratched.

GG is scratch RESISTANT. Not scratch PROOF. Stop getting your panties in a bunch. It got scratched because it came into contact with something hard enough to scratch it. Who's fault it that? Oh, yours. It's nice to have GG right? Right, but regardless of that fact even GG can be scratched. SO get your screen protectors if a little scratch is going to bother you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
+Chuck Norris
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
There is a fundamental difference between 'scratch proof' and 'scratch immune'
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
As posted by few others

1. Gorilla Glass can get scratches

2. Corning's patent ran out on gorilla glass quite some time ago and just about anyone capable of making one can make one

3. Corning and Samsung has a joint venture together that specializes this under scp.samsung.com and may not be using "Gorilla Glass" label
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Exactly, go post this in a thread, so we don't get anymore whiners crying about how they scratched their screens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
I use the term scratch resistant.... ;)

No such thing as "bullet proof" vest...bullet RESISTANT is lawyer speak, because ANYTHING can fail.

I think the same thing is the case with the screens on these smartphone devices.

It is resistant to scratches.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
No no no

Let them whine if you can't handle it

GO BUY A SCREEN PROTECTOR

Welcome to #care
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
What? The first part didn't make sense but really a Screen Protector will always be required.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
Sigh.

You are wrong.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/samsung
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Sigh.

You are wrong AS PROVEN BY THE 100's of PEOPLE BEFORE ME.

Corning does not update their list of devices and if you contact a rep they will say the same.

All tech sites list the Note as having Gorilla Glass and many others have sent emails before to everyone.

Do not try to be arrogant. There have been dozens of these threads and the consensus reached is that the Note has Gorilla Glass.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
The Samsung Focus Flash JUST came out and it's on there.

But whatever. Gorilla Glass isn't the end all be all. A grain of sand and it scratches like any 'ol screen.

Just be careful and your screen should be good, regardless of what type it is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Isnt Samsung and corning have a joint venture.

http://www.corning.com/news_center/corning_stories/samsung_corning_case_study.aspx

I would be surprised if it isnt a type of gorilla/hardened glass. Protect your investment with a good quality screen protector and a case. Or use it naked and deal with consequences.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ashwin123:
To the original poster...

Are you using the phone with the flip case that was provided?

I have had scratches too and I can swear that my phone was never abused... someone on the forums suggested the scratches might have been caused by particles getting stuck between the flip cover and the screen

... sounds far fetched but thats the only explanation i have :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evil-doer:
im going nuts waiting for my cases to arrive as well. such a big beautiful screen, i dont want it damaged. those two rivets in my jeans are in such a bad place at the top of my pocket.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rasa11:
This is why I ordered a Zagg Shield to arrive right before I got my galaxy.

Is a good feeling to know you can set it down or put it pretty much anywhere without the actual screen getting tore up. lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lexi250:
Need a cheapo silicone case for now? I have a spare I can sell for $5.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JohnPaul_II:
Just dropped my Note for the first time, on one of the few days when I haven't bothered to put the flip case back on. There's now a couple of small scuffs on the screen and one tiny, more noticeable one.

Is there any way to make them less visible? Would they be noticeable if they were under an invisibleshield?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ericshmerick:
By the way, Gorilla Glass was created back in the 1960's but there was no real use for it so Corning shelved it. Then they saw the need for smartphones and the such and bam, turned an old idea into a highly desirable feature.

Neat-o.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DarkStone1337:
:) No matter if a phone has Gorilla glass or not, I think it's a good idea to put a screen protector on the screen.

I didn't do this for my Galaxy S II, got a few scratches on the screen, same story with my HD2 :(

I don't care if anyone says that Gorilla glass is scratch proof/resistant, I will damn well always put on screen protector regardless :D

I put one on my Note even before I touched the screen, I have that piece of mind that my screen will not get scratched.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Cwelle:
I have one tiny line on the display but it's only visible when the display is off.

I use flip cover.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rasa11:
Yes, an InvisibleShield will reduce the visibility of the scratches.

and depending on how minute the scratches are..

They may seem to disappear entirely once under a shield.

I just tried the Zagg InvisiShield for the first time,

Had it for a couple/few weeks now,

and while at first, I was kinda "iffy" about how it felt,

after a few days, i couldnt tell the difference in the feel of the shield, and the actual screen. It feels/works just like the actual screen did before I installed it.

Greta stuff IMO.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mtbmdk:
In my experience Gorilla Glass is not as strong/resistant as advertised. My Company tried out a 10 in tablet with GG, specifically designed for our field and we had broken screens immnediately. There was no specific or even general pattern to the damage. Some fell while others were setting flat.We had to switch back to a ruggedized notebook.

To John Paul II, there are ways to use CA ,cryanoacrolate (sp?) to fill in small scratches, I have had mixed results, you can search for screen repair, good luck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
will using the 1st day or 2 with my fingers scratch the screen?

My screen protector isn't coming till a day later
