Latest version: 3.4 (29/01/2012)

(Attached at the end of this first post)

What is Universal Flasher Tool?

It is a complete template that is used to create the simplest possible way from recovery flasheable issue without having to include or edit files. Apk.

The operation of this template is based on the VillainTheme System, for VillainROM ROM.

This new method uses the file system MetaMorph Application (just have to place files or folders on their respective routes), with the advantage that the system identifies and injects them into their applications without the need for external application. The subjects are flashed directly from recovery.

At the end of the post is attached blank template and a sample issue to start testing.

What are the advantages of this method over the MetaMorph or traditional flasheables issues?

Do not include. Apk complete, only the files you want to include in the subject.

A theme created with this template is valid for any ROM, even among different phone roms (the tests have been conducted and Nexus SGS2 one).

Optionally, the template can include complete files if desired, can even be used to install applications not system.

Does not depend on external applications such as MetaMorph because it flashes directly from recovery.

Performance of staff

At the end of the post are attached a number of considerations to take into account, but basically works like this:

Identify the applications that you want to thematize and verifies that exist in the rom. Once the check, the system compares folders that will be introduced as well as files and injects them into the apk as long as the new apk file exists within. This has been thought well to avoid filling an apk with files that do not belong because they are from another rom or because you made a mistake when typing the name, for example.

Once injected the files is one of the apk zipalign to optimize RAM usage.

Optionally, if the topic includes external files or copy them to install applications on your path.

While the issue is being applied, the system will generate a backup of changed files and automatically creates a file. Flasheable from zip recovery, in case something goes wrong or do not like the changes back to its previous state.

Finally, it also generates a small log with the outcome of the whole process is recorded on the SD to verify that all changes are applied correctly.

How to create and edit your own theme

Download the template from the attachment in this post or the link below.

Recommended Tools: 7zip to include files and browse the file system (you can also use winzip or winrar with no problem) and Notepad + + or any other plain text editor to edit the name of the mod.

Once downloaded, open the template with double-click will observe and folders inside a file in the root. Here's are in each folder and how to create the theme.

MOD.config file (new from version 3.0)

It is an editable text file (recommend Notepad + +) where he also set the name of the MOD to set different parameters of the template.

MOD_VERSION = name (name of the mod to be displayed in the system properties after the name of the rom. It is recommended not to put a very long name and try to avoid as far as possible in the blanks.

CLEAN_MORPHING = not (compare the new files before injection into the apk, only introduced if the file already exists. By checking the speed is drastically reduced)

V4_MORPHING = yes (support to manage compatibility with existing folders-v4 system in some applications).

DO_BACKUP = yes (enable or disable the creation of the backup flasheable from recovery to restore the existing theme).

LOG_ENABLED = yes (enable or disable the creation of a log file with the results of the process).

SCREEN_LOG = yes (shows the process of recovery on the screen or not. Notices are always important but turned off the option).

Optionally, you can set a different path for memory cards (no need to touch these lines in most cases, you should not touch):

default_internal_sdcard = / EMMC

default_external_sdcard = / sdcard

Optionally, you can add special commands to mount partitions (no need to modify these lines in most cases, you should not touch):

mount_system = mount / system

mount_data = mount / data

README.txt:

Includes some additional notes on the operation and leave. Please read before using the template to create a theme (in English).

Cartet / tools:

This is the folder where you have placed the scripts and binary files needed to flash the issue and make subsequent restoration. No need to touch anything in this folder to edit the theme. From version 3.0 has been deleted because busybox binary is no longer involved in the process.

Folder / META-INF:

System Folder which includes the signature and the script file to launch from recovery. It is recommended not to touch.

Folder / MORPH:

This is the template folder where files should be included with the theme. In turn, the folder is divided into two subfolders called / data (for applications theming system NO) and / system (for theming system and applications framework).

In the folder / MORPH / system / app files are included for applications and / MORPH / system / framework for the framework files.

ATTENTION: NO application theming system in / MORPH / data / app / myapp.apk digital signature is change, so from that time can not be updated from the market or will you installed in the market (like if it had installed by 'other means' non-statutory ...). Therefore, we do not recommend any downloaded application thematize the market. You are advised that the complaints do not come then ...

For each application you want to thematize is to open a new folder called / nombre.apk (eg / Contacts.apk if you want to change the system application Contacts.apk). You must respect the use of upper / lower case. Within each of these folders you have to respect that there are logical paths within applications, so that the files would have to place them in folders named / res / drawable, res / drawable-hdpi, etc ...

It's the same structure of the subject MetaMorph, so that any item is readily convertible MetaMorph simply dragging folders.

No need to create any control file or anything like that. The system is responsible for reviewing the folders you want to know tematitar applications.

Folder / Xtras / system:

in this folder is where, if desired, can include files or complete applications that you wish to flash in conjunction with the subject. For example, sound files, bootanimation, scripts, complete applications, etc ...

Folder / Xtras / data:

in this folder is where, if desired, can not add applications to be installed system during flashing.

Folder / Xtras / sdcard:

in this folder can be copied to add files to make the SD card, such as packs of icons, sounds, videos, etc ...

Considerations to take into account

Always respect the use of upper / lowercase in the names of files or folders and logical paths located within the apps.

With this system the themes may be universal, although depending on the type of files a user input may cease to be:

If only image files are included the theme is compatible with any rom from any phone.

If you also are included. Xml files, you may only work in one rom, but can still work on future updates of the same.

If resources are included for translations (resources.arsc) the issue would only be valid for a particular rom.

The. Zip file to the topic is not necessary for you to sign flashes, and is valid for CW-Recovery and Recorevy-RA. If you do not have to remember signing off signature checking before flashing.
