Apk Manager 4.9 uses apktool 1.3.2 that compresses resources.arsc. And that causes problems with framework-res.apk.

Use apktool 1.3.1 and you'll have no problems ;)

Ciao Darkyy, scusa il mio inglese

Se metto il framework modificato dentro la ROM, al primo Boot ricevo errori e vibrazioni. Se lo installo a parte tutto va bene. Dove sbaglio?

Ps: Se qualcuno mi aiuta con la traduzione inglese-italiano-inglese lo ringrazio

Google Translate

Darkyy Hello, excuse my English

If I changed the framework within the ROM, the first boot I get force closes and vibrations. If I install it apart from everything else is fine. What's wrong?

Ps: If someone help me with translation English-Italian-English thank him

Mmmm...già finite le lezioni? Ancora non sono nemmeno riuscito ad aprire i file rfs con Poweriso...come si fa?? A me non li scompatta! Non è che devo avere necessariamente linux?

Lesson already stuck?? I can't open rfs files with Power Iso...how can I do it?? Maybe must I have a linux system?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
When you have an img file you use poweriso to extract
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
With rfs i think you use unyaffs

Hey Doc

Have just yet installed an extra Virtualbox partition with windows 7 to make my own custom rom with your tutorial.

Keep up the nice work please :) Today I`ve played around with your first part of the adb-shell and hopefully in some days I`ve modded my first Rom with your help

Big thx great Master :D

Edit: Hmmm first Problem. The Samsung device is not found in the virtual machine although I installed Kies(including the drivers).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zat81:
I'm on Windows XP...I can't extract rfs files? How can I do it??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
Another method that I use is as follows:

1. Get the rom from the source, as mentioned by Doc in the first post.

2. Flash the rom to the phone using Odin.

3. Create a directory in your computer. This is the place where you are gonna pull your /system folder.

4. Connect your phone to the computer, making sure you have adb debugging mode on.

5. Go to DOS command prompt, navigate to your created directory and issue the following command:

adb pull /system

Voila, all your system apps are pulled to your computer!

This is extremely useful because the directory retains the structure needed for the flashing.

Hope this is the alternative Doc is referring.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zat81:
I already knew this way to extract the ROM, but thanks anyway! ;)

I don't want to use this way because of the many releases of the firmwares (JP5, JP8, JPU, etc...) and I'd like to extract the ROM from the downloaded file from samfirmware. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dottydotdot:
Looking forward to making my own ROMs. Cheers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gambler_BE:
Wow you are the man! :D

first your super awesome ROM, and now this :D

thx for all the work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] artronnie:
hmmm...if you have pretty fast internet connection, download ubuntu (i got it installed but i believe a live version should be able to do what you want) and you should be able to extract rfs, *.img, etc. easily.

(directory where you want to mount the image file).

e.g., assuming you're in /home/something/ and your factoryfs.rfs is in this /something/ directory:

You'll get all the factoryfs.rfs content (system directory of your android) on /mountdirectory. should be easy.

I had high hopes for Doc to complete this, I knew what a mammoth task this thread would be trying to write down every minor detail to completing a ROM from scratch. But I for one love to learn new things everyday, I'd love a thread that details as much as possible all in the one place. I know, Google is everyones best friend :) I'd have gotten no were so far without it as I have managed to deodex etc a personal ROM, just for learning how ROMs work within Android.

Hopefully one day Doc you can manage to complete this as a well documented thread. I hope this hasn't been forgotten about.

When Doc started this thread, I have seen his activity level, you can see from the first few pages. Suddenly, he goes COLD. How many days back was his last post in this thread? With his kitchen UP & no updates for the past week, don't tell me he hasn't time to spare.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
It is his prerogative whether he continue or not. The same goes for his online kitchen. It is the users prerogative whether they use it or not. There is no conspiracy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Logseman:
I would not venture any kind of judgement on how much free time people have to spend, or on the allocation of said free time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tkalli:
Doc and the other developers have a real life.

They provide us all with some great ROM's. apps, themes and other things.

I know from the IRC channel and the ROM kitchen thread that Doc has

been very busy with his real job.

Appreciate that developers take the time to do what they do and stop complaining

when they don't meet your personal expectations.

My two cents worth.

;)

​
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madfix:
By the hell, who are you for such an affirmation ?

Many people here have Real Life, in opposite to your No Life style ;-)

Seeing your owns posts, you seem to have plenty of spare time. Why not start contributing to this thread in writing down some of your own knowledge ?

Assuming the huge number of dead topics you've initiated, this one could be the first where you teach us something.

Stop making assumption about anybody's life.

Are you seeing these posts??? :D:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
What exactly is in the way of you making a custom "rom" ?

What part of the process are you stuck at ?

Just wondering.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Thanks for trying to help me Twice. I think this thread is dead.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Well most of it is quite simple because we are living in a closed source environment with these phones.

A common definition of "rom" in this part of the forum will quite often be :

1. Download firmware *

2. Open with poweriso *

3. Use deodex + zipalign script on them (Plenty of scripts out there)

4. Modify the apks (Theme,extended power menu...etc)

5. Add/remove apks *

6. Add a custom modem/csc (drag/drop into update.zip)

7. Add zimage for kernel (drag/drop into update.zip)

6. Refer to updater-script syntax (Look at another rom for reference)

7. Create and sign(optional) the update.zip

8. Done

* items don't require a guide (a monkey could do them :p)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
* - LOVELY :D

Will try tomorrow. Its already 10:35 pm for me.

THANKS a LOT.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
Most have problems with the update script, with symlinking problems. Not sure if it is related to the different versions of busybox or not. Would suggest they use version 1.17.3 (that's the version I'm using for my rom).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
I can't help to think that you have an axe to grind though.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Yes, I will work on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea, but there are plenty of references in other roms for one to get it right.

Also edify is a lot more syntactically pleasing than amend was in my opinion. Also, you can always ask questions and im sure someone will answer them.

Ps i made a test version of edify update.zips for my script Here

Ofcourse i don't recommend to use it for full out flashing roms, but i do for getting use to the syntax and flashing small things like apk's....etc
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
I prefer update scripts than updater scripts with update binary though. :D

And by the way, I'm still using apk manager 4.9. There's just a small bug there, after you completed an apk, when you select option 24, it will not quit but still asking you some questions.... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea imma try n work on that today or 2moro. Got a few bug fixes lined up.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723596

on the table of contents, click post 3: adb tutorial and follow the instructions on there until you get to where the command prompt says something like "\android-sdk-windows\tools\", plug your phone in through usb while it is recovery mode and in the command prompt type "adb reboot download" and unplug your phone immediately after the screen goes black. it will then boot into download mode, so open odin on your computer, for whatever you want to flash, plug the phone back in, and click start on odin.

edit: fixed the url
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbasbaitshop:
That got it. Was not aware that you could still use the SDK at this point. It is restoring from ODIN. Many thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] franky_402:
whats up guys, so ive read a few sites that explain how to install android onto the hd2. i flashed one with no problems and it works flawlessly then i tried doing my cousins phone and his is messing up, contacts wont save and its locking up every once in a while.

So here is my question alot of the threads i was reading had conflicting information. So they are both flashed with hardspl already what is the lightest and most stable winmo to lay android over top of. Also what do you guys suggest for the best android rom to run over winmo and would a bootloader make the phone more stable. So i know what to do but i want to know from you experienced vets as to what is the most stable winmo that will run android great and what android rom to run for minimal problems. Ive read hundreds of pages on roms and such but everything is always outdated by time i get to it..

So what is working great for you guys. Sense is preferred on android and winmo will pretty much never be ran so no sense would be lighter im sure. Thanks for all the help in advance.

Also one more thing, as both phones are currently running android when they both try to connect to the same wifi router niether one will recieve data until one of the hd2 disconnects from the router. Also confused with that as my evo never loses internet when connected to the same router. For your info the router is a 2wire att dsl gateway. im thinking it could be a problem with the router but that shouldnt be a problem, so maybe the android rom i am using is not using its real mac to identify itself with the router and is causing problems. The wifi is encrypted with wep encryption.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
a) You did NOT flash Android, you simply booted into android via your SD card.

b) Android does NOT run on top of windows, When you run haret it kicks windows mobile from ram and boots into Android kernel. Windows is not running at all.

c) Do not ask "what is best" questions they are silly and annoy everybody.

Stop been lazy and read, do some research and learn something, If you dont you end up with problems like your cousins phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boldman78:
+1 for those tips
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Talderon:
A is correct, at least until NAND is done and stable.

Just to expand on B, the only thing I get out of different WinMo ROM's is speed of boot. Disable Sense if your WinMo ROM has it so when it boots to WinMo and kicks off haret, it kicks up faster.

C, yeah, I have to agree, you ask 1000 people about 100 ROMs and and somehow, you will end up with 1000 different answers. :D

Another thing to try is to backup your SD Card and format the SD Card (yeah, I know Dev's say it's not needed anymore, but why not?). Make sure it's a Class 6 or higher (DEFINITELY NOT a Class 2 and some reports show Class 4 work, but I try and stick with Class 6).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
When running Android, the reported MAC address of your wifi card is not the actual MAC address, but one that can be changed.

Because of this, lots of builds have the same MAC address, and therefore you'll have this problem when connecting to the same wireless router. (If you're both running the same build then you'll definitely have this problem.)

Do a search - you can set the MAC address in the startup.txt file, but I can't remember what the actual text should read. It's been discussed in the forums before now, so it's there somewhere.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaidedfocus:
Or instead of being a jerk you can offer help and support or skip the thread entirely lol. Saves us all time.

Anyway, there are alot of ROMS out that cater to specific tastes. Me, I love Sense so that's my preference. Right now though I'm running a stock ROM from tytung that is running smooth as butter. No lags and data drops are almost non existent. But I know ill be running a new Rom within a few hours.

I'd suggest testing the builds on a week trial run or shorter. Try one out for a few days to get a feel for it and see if it has issues you don't want to deal with.

As far as WinMo, that doesn't really matter. I have a GTX full ROM running, I just don't use it except when restarting lol.

[HD2 General] leon_nerd:
Hi Guys,

I have an unlocked TMo HTS HD2. I have used it in Asia and UK without a problem. But when I came back to Canada, I got problems. I am using TELUS here and Telus doesn't seems to support HTC HD2. I checked this site and used their online tool to check the device compatibility. It shows the HTC HD2 is not compatible with TELUS.

I have tried to find information online about what is the problem and possible solutions. But, I have not came across anything that tells what is the issue. Probably there is something to do with HSPA (telus doesnt support HSPA or so).

So, I thought this will be the best place to know what can be the problem and most importantly possible solutions. I really like HD2 and would really want to use it in Canada.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
What about it doesn't work? ALL GSM functions, IE calling, SMS, MMS...or is it just data?
[HD2 General] leon_nerd:
Everything. It won't even catch the signal. I can see the signal bars trying to scan the network but then it stops with an exclamation mark.
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
i think Telus has the Bands that are present in the Telstra HD2, thats why your not able to use it, were you able to use it before tho?
[HD2 General] leon_nerd:
No. I have never used my HD2 with Telus before. Is there anything like a firmware update or a software based solution to this problem?
[HD2 General] Diamond_dawg:
I think you need the Telstra HD2, Tmobile ownt function your phone as it doesnt have the required bands by Telus, try a Rodger or a Fido Sim on your phone and see if you get a connection
[HD2 General] TechnoHippie:
My guess is that you've got your HD2 setup to ONLY connect to HSPA - and since they don't support that (edge only) it won't connect. Try changing the setting & see if that works...
