[TUTORIAL] How to create an CWM installable .zip (Mod)

Hey guys, made an tutorial on how to make an CWM installable .zip
Requirements
Notepad++
An CWM/Feamod installable .zip for your device
Instructions:
1. Get yourself an CWM installable .zip for your device.
2. Extract the .zip
3. Go into the META-INF folder, delete CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF.
4. go to META-INF/com/google/android
5. Right-Click on updater-script and select Notepad++
6. You see an script. Edit it. If you want to extract the folder (zip)/system/media/audio/ui use this script:
Code:
package_extract_dir("system/media/audio/ui", "/system/media/audio/ui");
ui_print("text"); means the text shown when you install the .zip in CWM.
run_program("text"); means that CWM runs a program
delete("/system"); means that you delete /system
package_extract_dir("framework", "/system/etc"); means that the files in /system/framework are extracted in /system/etc (on the device)
Make the script. My script for my iPhone Sounds is
ui_print("iPhone-Sounds by FlorisNL");
Code:
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
mount("ext4", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15", "/system");
set_progress(0.400000);
package_extract_dir("system/media/audio/ui", "/system/media/audio/ui");
set_progress(0.800000);
unmount("/system");
set_progress(0.900000);
ui_print("Installed Iphone-Sounds. Enjoy.");
set_progress(1.000000);
When your done, create an .zip with 7z. and test it. If you still got problems, feel free to post it in this topic.
(Sorry for my poor english sometimes ;p)

No need to make CWM flashable mod for audio files.
Put ogg/m4a/mp3 files in
sdcard/Alarms
sdcard/Notifications
sdcard/Ringtones
Reboot and media scanner will make them available in Settings > Sounds.
sdcard/Ringtones/.nomedia <- (0 size file)
Reboot and media scanner skip the folder sdcard/Ringtones

But I want to know. And im not porting ringtones only but also lock sounds, camera shutter sound, etc.

Then you must promise not to include aiPhaun sounds... :*
I don't want to be held responsible for distributing that to Android platform :\

Lol ok, it was just an idea. I just like the shutter sound and the lock sounds of the iphone but I prefer Android.

Just take a normal zip for your device, extract it, look at the file in META-INF\com\google\android --> updater-script (edit only with notepad++ under windows os, otherwise with normal notepad or other software the line endings might get converted from UNIX style to windows style which will not work!)
Files to be copied will most likely be in a folder structure like \system\YourFile.
Be sure to remove in \META-INF files CERT.RSA, CERT.SF and MANIFEST.MF.
Those are the files that gurantee the file is correct and integer ("signed zip") will become invalid after repacking.
Then pack everything with 7zip (with format .zip and lightest compression) and make sure that when you open up your zip META-INF is in the zip root.
More information on updater-scripts can be found on XDA or google with search for edify script.

What do you exactly mean with a zip for your device? Another mod?

Yes. For example, this is the start of crybert's AIO package script for 9001.
Code:
ui_print(" AIO - Package v1 by crybert ");
ui_print("**********************************");
ui_print(" root ");
ui_print(" busybox ");
ui_print(" init.d ");
ui_print(" custom bootanimation ");
ui_print(" FeaModRecovery 1.4 ");
ui_print("**********************************");
ui_print(" Credits: ");
ui_print(" manveru0 - FeaModRecovery ");
ui_print(" KeksKlip - Root ");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("**********************************");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print("Preparing device");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(0.200000);
ui_print("Activating SuperUser");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/bin/su");
symlink("/system/bin/su", "/system/xbin/su");
set_progress(0.400000);

This is my script how it's now. It is installing but its not replacing the Lock.ogg - Unlock.ogg - TW_Unlock.ogg files... Can you help me?

Mount command seems wrong.

Thank you so much! I did it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502660 here is the result so far

Hi Floris,
Thanks for changing this into a tut, good job!
Regards,
Nika.

And be sure if you extracted the zip to a directory, when you zip back, zip what's INSIDE the folder and not the folder... yeah, I did that...
The updater-script must also be in UNIX format (definitely, but that mistake I didn't make... )
With CWM 6.0.4.4 you can zip with the "Ultra" compression in 7-zip and CWM will manage to open it.

Hi, can anyone help me with this
trying to create own package which CWM still fails to install
gives error E: failed to open update.zip (bad)
Aborted
Q1: Am I require to use 7zip and lightest compression?
Q2: what actually does the mount("ext4", "...) command do and is it required to use?
Q3: if I want to put custom apk file into /system/app/ and set rw-r-r permissions for it, which command do I use?

A1: I always just zipped it, never looked at the compression quality. Just make sure to make a ZIP and not RAR or 7Z
A2: It mounts your system so you can write to it. Make sure to use an example mount command from a working ZIP of someone else for your specific device. The mount command is different in every device. On some recoveries with rooted ROMs you can use:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
A3: For instance something like this:
Code:
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
ui_print(" Mounting SYSTEM...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
set_progress(0.100000);
ui_print(" Extracting files to SYSTEM...");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(0.400000);
ui_print(" Setting /system/app/NAME.apk permission to 644...");
set_perm(0, 0, 644, "/system/app/NAME.apk");
set_progress(0.600000);
ui_print(" Unmounting SYSTEM...");
unmount("/system");
set_progress(0.900000);
ui_print("Install complete...");
set_progress(1.000000);
Why not use ADB for something like this (from your PC)?
Code:
adb remount
adb push NAME.apk_here /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/NAME.apk
adb reboot
Regards,
Nika.

Nice. I've found the error source - some files names had international accents. Now install passes to the end.
But another problem I have is that my files aren't mirrored into system.
Is package_extract_dir("system", "/system") recursive or do I have process every nested folder in it for extraction?
system\fonts
system\media\audio\alarms
system\media\audio\notifications
system\media\audio\ringtones
system\etc
system\bin
system\app
My script
Code:
ui_print("Integrating own fonts, sounds and customizations into system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);
set_progress(0.000000);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_progress(1.000000);
ui_print("Installed custom files. Enjoy.");
Finishes successfully but when I boot into OS, the files aren't in place, and I install this zip as last package.

Looks to me like you're not mounting system. It therefore cannot add the files. Yes, with package_extract_dir it recursively extracts all files...

BTW, in most cwm you can also mount system from the menu. Try that first and then run your script. Again, mounting system is required when you want to copy file to it. Figure out what command to use for your specific rom... Possibly also checkout how they do it for gapps and other generic installable zips...

Remount system partition with R/W permitions
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system/
Sync binaries
Code:
adb shell stop && adb sync && adb reboot
2.2.2. Updating boot partition
Reboot to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Select one of possible methods to use new boot partition
Boot with custom kernel and ramdisk without flashing (boot partition will not be rewrote) - this mode useful for debugging kernel/root
Code:
fastboot boot ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/kernel ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/ramdisk.img
Boot with custom boot.img without flashing (boot partition will not be rewrote) - this mode also can be used for debugging kernel/root
Code:
fastboot boot ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/boot.img
Flashing new boot.img to boot partition
Code:
fastboot flash:raw boot ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/kernel ${ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT}/ramdisk.img
2.3. Enabling Google services
To enable Google services on new system, should be copied several Google binaries to /system/app. To do it should b done several steps:
Get a root access
Code:
adb root && adb wait-for-device
Remount system partition with R/W permitions
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system/
Download this (i.e. GAPPS) archive (Size=16449776 MD5=C7E6FAAFE7223A17DE93DD1D7A968734)
Extract it somewhere
Code:
mkdir GooglePack && cd GooglePack
unzip googlepack.zip
Stop dalvik virtual machine
Code:
adb shell stop
Upload APK files
Code:
for f in `ls *.apk`; do echo "Uploading $f" && adb push $f /system/app/; done
Remove Provision.apk - it looks like setup wizard, but SetupWizard.apk much powerful
Reboot device to recovery and wipe data partition (use CWM "Wipe" menu for it)
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Reboot device after wiping
Use wizard on system start-up to configure your account
Use Android Market to install GMail and other apps
3. Debugging
3.1. RILD
To see rild log should be done:
Code:
adb logcat -b radio

Well, thanks to my Ukraine neighbor
Should be an interesting project for the weekend!

Would be great if someone could post a .zip

Holy sweet meatballs!
I have a A501, and I'm pleased to hear that the 3G Iconia is getting some love. Makes me wonder if I should sell it with the ICS ROM loaded on it, or keep it now it has ICS love since I have a Galaxy Tab...
Decisions Decisions.
Eagerly waiting a ZIP so we can all be eating some delicious Ice Cream Sandwich.

That's great, also the steps are really clean, maybe you should give some tips to acer

@shchers: aren't you thinking about submitting your work to CyanogenMod so our tables could get official support from CM team? I think there is no Acer Iconia maintainer right now at all in the CM team so you could try and join them as Iconia maintainer. This would be really great.

Hm, forgive me for asking but where is the kernel to use with it?

After I've written above reply, I've checked shchers' git repo and there is a kernel but in a binary form.
@shchers: did you build this kernel yourself? GPL licence requires that you need to publish its sources as well.

ONLY if he modified it from Acer's released source. If he didn't, he doesn't have to add the sources to his git (though it'd be handy for conveniences sake). Best we wait and see what he says before jumping to ANY conclusions.
Either way, FANTASTIC work shchers! Thank you VERY much!

No, I used Acer kernel. But thanks for reminder
When my kernel will be ready I'll share it with community
About ZIP... I see that many people asking about update package, so I started building and it will be ready in a one hour.

Awesome. Have you thought about the CyanogenMOD suggestion made earlier? If you added your source to that, we could get official support for it on our devices which would rock, and it'd also make life easier for those wanting to get MIUI ported over.

You should find all you need through the following link...

There's also a link to their Git hub on there.

All you need is here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_from_source
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Gerrit
(just replace gingerbread branch with ics)
But you probably need working kernel source for the device to submit vendor specific code to CM.
Is this kernel just a binary from Acer's leak? I'm asking because I'm not aware of a working kernel source for a500.

Well, I guess I can forget about configuring ubuntu for now
cygwin never could get working.
Great job on compiling and getting the link up!
RapidShare.... not so rapid Probably getting flooded by all the 501 users
You 500 users go play with the 500 roms and stop sucking all the bandwidth!

[GUIDE][Noobs]How to Create your own stock based XPERIA ROM

Hey Guys,
My name is Braa, I’am just a new developer here in the XDA and today I’am going to show you a complete guide on how to make your own “XPERIA” Stock Based ROM.
First of all you have to get the Stock XPERIA Firmware of your device
Let’s get started to build our ROM:
First Step: (Getting the STOCK FTF File of your Device)
1) Get the latest stock FTF Firmware of your device
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Open it using 7-ZIP
3) Now we will be focusing on the most important file “system.sin” Just Extract it to your desktop
4)Now go to the XPERIA Flashtool  Tools  Sin Editor   Choose the system.sin file you have just extracted to your desktop Extract Data
5)Now you will have a file called “system.ext4”
6)Get a tool called “EXT4 Unpacker” then select that file  Extract all the files into a folder
Congrlatiouns you have got your stock device firmware but not in the form of “FTF” instead in the form of “ZIP”
But this was not everything we will now move into more advanced part but don’t panic everything will be explained easily with screenshots so, Let’s GO !
Understanding the System folder you have just extracted
System Folder Contains the Majority of ROM Files, now we have to explain the SYSTEM Folder structure
1. app : contain all the system's app and the odex file of system app
2. bin : contain the command and bin files for the rom
3. vendor: specified vendor system. you have your specific vendor's app, libs, and config files here also contains the Themes (XPERIA 2011-2012 Devices)
4. etc : additional setting and files for the ROM.
5. font : It’s Clear it contains the fonts
6. framework : system's framework files and the odex file for framework
7. lib : drivers, modules, kernel related files for the rom
8. media: media files-ringtones, notification, bootanimation.
10. usr : files needed for keyboard, bluetooth, etc.
11. xbin : additional command and bin files (busybox is usually installed here)
12. build.prop file : Contains your Device default properties
Q)DEODEX VS ODEX
A)Most of custom rom available is deodexed rom while our stock rom is half deodexed rom. I'll try to explain it in most simple way. First of all, we should understand that mostly every app in android consist of three part, *apk files, *dex/odex files, and lib files.
ODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in same folder with the apk files (/system/app). the positive side, it consume less internal memory and a execute faster. the negative side, it makes the app uncostumizable (cannot apply custom themes) and need more space in system partition.
DEODEXED rom means that *dex file needed to run the app is extracted from the apk file and placed in /data/dalvik-cache. the positive side, the app can be themed (full customizable) and consume less system partition. we could put more app in /system/app in deodexed rom. the negative side, it consume a lot of internal memory. please be cautious with the internal memory space if you use deodexed rom. (NOTE: if you start from stock rom, you may use Kitchen to convert odexed to deodexed rom).
Now if you want a really looking good Ui ROM u will stick into DeOdexing your ROM
Note: What was explained above in the part of ODEX VS DEODEX doesn’t mean that DeOdexing ROM will decrease it’s Performance
Q)How to DeOdex My ROM ?
A)Bro, This could be done using many tools like (Universal DeOdexer or DsiXda Kitchen)
Now I will explain the Dsixda kitchen method
Tools Needed:
Cygwin
JDK
Android Kitchen
Steps:
1)Extract Cygwin.zip  Run Setup.exe  Next  Install from local directory  Set the root directory as it  Set the local package directory as cygwin_packages  Select that reload icon and install all
2)Now Click on Cygwin icon on desktop you will see that commands appear automaticly
3)Now Extract the kitchen Android-Kitchen-0.224.zip then rename it to “kitchen” (without the quotations)
4)Then copy that folder into c:/Cygwin  home  your username folder
5)Open the cygwin and write these commnds
6)Cd kitchen  ./menu
7) Just compress the system folder we have just extracted from the ext4 unpacker into ZIP File
8)Now copy that file to C:\cygwin\home\Your username\kitchen\original_update
9)Open the cygwin  then write the kitchen commands I’ve mentioned above
10)Select “Set up working folder of your ROM”  Press Enter  Select the zip you compressed  It will ask you to add a null boot.img agree to this
11)Select the “Advanced Options”  Select De-Odex files in your ROM  Select “b” DeOdex both folders (Recommended) wait till the process finishes
Updater Script ! (Nightmare to a lot of noobs)
Sorry Guys I can’t help you with this part  even my updater-script in my ROM I forgot how I did it here is it you can base your updater-script on it
Just download it !
WE’VE Done this part !
Modifying your ROM
1)Adding Tweaks
1.1)Adding init.d Support
Adding init.d support means that you can run your favorite scripts and tweaks on your Stock Based ROM
Download the file “enable_init.d.zip” and put all its files inside system folder into your ROM System Folder
1.2)Modifying Build.Prop for more stability
Here’s a lot of Build.prop Tweaks
1. Force launcher into memory
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
2. Raise JPG quality to 100%
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
3. VM Heapsize; higher RAM, higher hp can be
dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m
4. Render UI with GPU
debug.sf.hw=1
5. Decrease dialing out delay
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=0
6. Helps scrolling responsiveness
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
7. Save battery
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
8. Disable debugging notify icon on statusbar
persist.adb.notify=0
9. Increase overall touch responsiveness

video.accelerate.hw=1
10. Raise photo and video recording quality
ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap=8000000
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps=8000000
11. Signal (3G) tweaks
ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=14449
ro.ril.hsupa.category=5
12. Net speed tweaks
net.tcp.buffersize.default=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960

net.tcp.buffersize.gprs=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
net.tcp.buffersize.edge=4096,87380,256960,4096,16384,256960
13. Disable blackscreen issue after a call
ro.lge.proximity.delay=25
mot.proximity.delay=25
14. Fix some application issues
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
15. Phone will not wake up from hitting volume rocker
ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=0
16. Force button lights on when screen is on
ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0
17. Disable boot animation for faster boot
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
18. Miscellaneous flags
ro.config.hw_menu_unlockscreen=false
persist.sys.use_di ring=0
persist.sys.purgeable_assets=1
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=1000
Q)How can I add these lines to my build.prop
A)I will tell you
Download a tool called “Notepad++”
Extract the build.prop file from your ROM then right click on it then edit with notepad++
Go to Last line:
Then add
# Tweak Name
Tweak Properties
#
Done
Here’s my build.prop I used in my ROM: its just a sample copy what you want from it
2)Bravia Engine 2 with X-Reality
Download the file of BE-2 then paste it in your ROM then add these lines to build.prop
# X-Reality Engine
ro.service.swiqi2.supported = true
persist.service.swiqi2.enable = 1
#
ro.service.swiqi3.supported = true
persist.service.swiqi3.enable = 1
#
3) Modifying the wallpapers of the ROM
Go to etc\customization\content\com\sonyericsson\wallpaperpicker\wallpapers
Then Add your Wallpapers
4) Modifying the Themes
system\vendor\overlay\framework
Themes are found here
In newer XPERIA Devices Themes are found in /app
5) Adding Supercharger intiries
Just add these lines to your build.prop
# V6 SuperCharger, OOM Grouping & Priority Fixes created by zeppelinrox.
# DO NOT DELETE COMMENTS. DELETING COMMENTS WILL BREAK UNINSTALL ROUTINE!
# BEGIN OOM_MEM_Settings
ro.FOREGROUND_APP_MEM=1536
ro.VISIBLE_APP_MEM=3072
ro.PERCEPTIBLE_APP_MEM=4096
ro.HEAVY_WEIGHT_APP_MEM=20480
ro.SECONDARY_SERVER_MEM=8192
ro.BACKUP_APP_MEM=14080
ro.HOME_APP_MEM=1024
ro.HIDDEN_APP_MEM=10240
ro.EMPTY_APP_MEM=15360
# END OOM_MEM_Settings
# BEGIN OOM_ADJ_Settings
ro.FOREGROUND_APP_ADJ=0
ro.VISIBLE_APP_ADJ=3
ro.PERCEPTIBLE_APP_ADJ=3
ro.HEAVY_WEIGHT_APP_ADJ=5
ro.SECONDARY_SERVER_ADJ=7
ro.BACKUP_APP_ADJ=6
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
ro.HIDDEN_APP_MIN_ADJ=12
ro.EMPTY_APP_ADJ=15
# END OOM_ADJ_Settings
# End of V6 SuperCharged Entries
6) Making your Apptray Transparent
Just Replace the apptray_pane_bg.9.png I provided to your Home.apk in store mode
7) Changing the bootanimation (HDPI)
XPERIA Z1
XPERIA Z2
8) Media not scanned or No pictures found here’s the solution
Download Rescan media root and put it in data folder of your ROM
If you are on 4.1.2 and HDPI Device (Maybe works on XHDPI or MDPI)
So my ROM “Doomsday” is open source for you, it contains full XPERIA Z2 Ui just take the download link from my signature then download it and take what you need from it but don’t forget to give me the proper credits and press thanks for me
Thread will be updated soon :laugh:

Why it says, Installation aborted.. I tried 3,4 times to make installation from custom rom. file... but unable to flash by using that rom the ROM.
Error shows this image in background.. (Can not make ScreenShot)

@Eliminator79 ho did you made a working custom rom from the above tutorial?
I have created 15-20 custom rom in different ways from different tutorials from xda, mostly it stops installation with an error. 4-5 times it started phone just for showing start animation ...
I quit....
Right now Installed stock rom back. after wasting 2 days..

Might be an updater-script

you should set correct code partition in your update script
i mean this lines:
format("MTD", "system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
you can find this lines in another custom roms which correct work on your phone.
just find this lines in that custom rom ( in meta inf folder in that custom rom ) then copy that lines and replace that in your update script
if your custom rom has a kernel , you should find the partition of kernel at the end of update script and replace in end of your update script
finally replace the update binary in that custom rom which correct work on your rom with your update binary.
do this work at the end of your work.means make your rom first then do this work with your rom.zip file
hope can help you

I have also used the working update script downloaded from Eliminator79's 2nd post... but still displaying same error..

Maybe works

NO bro
just used update binary from another rom which work correct on your phone
but about update script just edit 2 lines that i told you before
find it in update script for another custom rom for your phone and replace with your update script ( just 2 lines )
of course when you build your rom then do this

Thanks for the reply.
I already did this too. but it only shows boot animation , i have waited 10-12 minutes but nothing changed... same story all the time

Bro, thanks for the reply..
Here are both META-INF folders, both are not working when i replace (delete and paste all new files) system folder.
P.S. Installation only works when i modify app files from Doomsday ROM Jlo v5 ROM, But i also want to change all other system folders, not only app folder.
