DEVELOPMENT STOPPED[Kitchen][10th June] GanGs_KiD Kitchen, one "double click" v5.1 ! - Galaxy S II Original Android Development

DEVELOPMENT STOPPED[Kitchen][10th June] GanGs_KiD Kitchen, one "double click" v5.1 !
I'll stop development for android forever therefore this project will stop here
and I do not allow the development of my Kitchen.​
-----------------------------
(This Kitchen is for Samsung Galaxy SII "I9100", only new ICS Samsung ROMs)
-----------------------------
My Vision:
Don't wait for them to "Cook" it for you.....You can do it yourself with only one "double click".
What do you need before start using the Kitchen:
1- You must install the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) or JDK (Java Development Kit), which includes the JRE.
2- Your phone needs to have root.
3- Enable "USB debugging" in Settings at Developer options.
4- Enable the "Flight mode" to ensure there will be no interruption.
5- Connect your phone to the PC, now you can start.
How to use the Kitchen:
1- Download the latest version at the attachment and unzip it.
2- One "double click" on GanGs_KiD_Kitchen.bat.
3- Choose what you want to be performed.
4- For cleaning the script use GanGs_KiD_Kitchen_Cleaner.bat.
Useful information:
- The phone will reboot several times, do not do anything, and wait until the Kitchen shows to you it finished other than that please don't do anything.
- The Kitchen will never exit itself without any action from you, if that happen this means there is an error.
- Try to ignore the phone while the Kitchen works to not cause any issue, better to leave the screen off.
- You can do only deodex in case you have the files on your PC (paste your files to app & framework folders inside GanGs_KiD_Kitchen folder.
- To flash the CWM zip file you need to install the Busybox.
- Mods and Hacks is only for deodexed files.
- In case you want to use Push option you need to disable the Usb Mass Storage if you enabled it.
What can the Kitchen do:
- It can pull the files from the phone.
- It can install Busybox to the phone.
- It can deodex apk & jar files.
- It can push the deodexed files into the phone.
- It can do Mods for you .
- It can do everything above automatically.
- It can create CWM flashable zip files for the original "odex" and the deodexed files.
- It will zip-aligned the APK for you automatically.
Known Issues:

This script is only for Samsung Galaxy SII "I9100" .... for now
Hello
This is my first "Script"
Don't wait for them to "deodex" it for you.....now you can do it by yourself with only one "double click"
Download the attachment file and unzip it
Now, open folder "GanGs_Kid_Tools", you will only care about these two folders (app & framework)
Copy the content of your ROM folder "app" into app folder and copy the content of your ROM folder "framework" into framework folder.
Finally, double click on "GanGs_Kid_Deodexer.bat" and wait until the CMD disappeared yah your files deodexed already .
You will find new two folder (Done_app & Done_framework)....Congrats !!
BTW if you don't want to clean and delete the APK&Odex&Jar files by your hand,use "GanGs_Kid_Deodexer_Cleaner.bat" it will clean it for you...master
About the Script:
It is for new ICS ROMs for S2 I9100, it will deodex the "APKs and JARs" files with only one "Double click" also it will zip-align the APK for you automatically.

I have a question. What happens if the script fails to deodex an apk? Will it let us know?

Man this is awesome. How hard would it be for you to make this work on GB sammy roms?
Sent from my GT-I9100M using XDA

hello,
this is very good for beginner, it's even better if there is a software that aloud us to modify the Rom, such as removed app or adding app. what I mean here is we just load the Rom in the software, then we just click, click, and click..then done. we have our own custom rom.
thanks....

just quick question. first im going to copy all files in app and framework folder and put it in their respective folders in your deodexer tool, if im going to implement this script, what state should my phone be in? is it in recovery? maybe im just missing some points here. can you clarify these things to me so that i can do this correctly. (actually my phone is GT-I9003, my sister has a GT-I9100, well it is a different phone to mine so i'm in the middle of learning/knowing GT-I9100).
thanks in advance.

I think you may understand this wrong
This isnt for deodexing the files while they are on your phone, or if you have plugged your phone into the pc
You are copying the files FROM your phone TO your pc (via adb - recovery mode, root explorer, rom toolbox - normal booted mode etc) and deodexing there, once done, put back onto the phone
If you have an odexed rom already on your pc, just drop the files from that rom in to the deodexer, deodex and put them back. transfer the rom to your phone and flash

For now...nothing will happen, the apk simply will not work on your S II
but I am trying now to make the script telling you exactly which files did not make it and will be excluded into seperate folder .

Thanks m8, in fact there is already one for GB "xUltimate" and I were using it but with ICS Rom's it did not work, so i decided to make my own deodexer.

v1.01 now avaliable....it has some fixes

v2.00 is now avaliable.....better

I have the feeling that there are lots of downloads but few thanks and zero encouraging
By this way I think I will keep my upcoming tools for myself.
Thanks.

The ROM will come as a Base
i.e
It will have the Stock Samsung Look to it and will have all major tweaks to it, The Kitchen app from now on will come built into the ROM itself and it will be Locked to only our ROM.The Kitchen will now Auto Update itself when ever i publish a Update, So you will always be using the updated app.
All the Mod's,Themes and other Stuff that you can customize will be aired by the KitchenPro.
NOTE
Make sure you have the latest Revolution Rom kitchen running in your phone
It may happen that after a package has been installed from the Revolution Kitchen Pro app, on the first boot you phone hangs at the Boot logo, just long press power button and restart your phone!
I'd like to point out that i am not responsible for any issue with your phone! Also it's highly recommended to backup efs folder before to start playing with your phone!
For those people who is coming from LeoMar75 Revolution ROM 2.7.1 and has installed Kitchen Pro app v1.1
-Backup user data with the kicthen v1.1
-Titanium backup
-cwm backup
-full wipe and download the new rom
Hopefully with the kitchen app v1.2 that comes with the new ROM you will be able to restore you user data backup but you need to copy files from /sdcard/download/Revolution/userdata_backup/ to /sdcard/download/CheckROM_REVO/userdata_backup/

Q:What is odex/deodex?
A:
Odex:
Every android application comes with the extention '.apk'. Packaged with every apk is a .odex file which contains parts of the application which helps speed up the boot process and preloads it.
an odex file is an optimized version of a classes.dex file that has optimizations that are device specific. In particular, an odex file has dependencies on every "BOOTCLASSPATH" file that is loaded when it is generated. The odex file is only valid when used with these exact BOOTCLASSPATH files. dalvik enforces this by storing a checksum of each file that the odex file is dependent on, and ensuring that the checksum for each file matches when the odex file is loaded.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Deodex:
Deodexing is a way of repackaging the apk such that it is reassembled into the classes.dex file. Everything is put together in one place, and this is helpful because it eliminates any chances of a modified apk conflicting with other odexed parts.
to deodex a file using baksmali, it has to load every BOOTCLASSPATH file that the odex depends on. By default, baksmali will try to find the 5 "core" BOOTCLASSPATH files in the current directory. It can use either a jar/apk (with a classes.dex inside), or an odex file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So to sum up everything, a .dex file contains the cache used by Dalvik VM during boot and this .dex file is located inside the application. On the other hand, .odex file is an optimized version of the same .dex file but it is located outside the application.
What do I lose/gain using odex/deodexed ROM?
The upper hand deodexed rom has over odexed is integration. Every ROM maker loves deodexing the rom because of two main reasons:
Modification of apk becomes easier
ROM is open to theme modifications
So, as an end used, you would most likely want to have a deodexed version of a ROM to take full advantage of android freedom. However, note that you won't lose out on performance in an odexed ROM.
Q: After falshing siyah kernel kitchen Pro app does not works anymore
A: CWM5 comes with siyah kernel, this custom recovery has a bug related to mount point for sdcard (internal/external). Two possibility:
-You can still use the kitchen app for downloading packages but in order to flash packages you should reboot manually your phone in recovery mode and install packages located in /sdcard/download/CheckROM_REVO/
-If you remove your external sdcard the kitchen will work fine!
Q: Which Theme to flash or will this theme work
A: Any theme that is built for XXKH3 Deodexed is flashable with the ROM.
But the only Downfall to this is that you will end up loosing a few features like Jkay Themes app!!
Now the Themes that dev the Themes at Checkrom.com or our official themes dev's who make themes for us make there respective themes over CheckROM so when u flash there themes you don't lose any features

Q: I have Kernel X, my Boot animations don't work, help...
A:Some Kernels don't support Bootanimations or need special files (Speedmod, Lulz etc.). Install a Kernel which supports it, like Rage, Nimphitamine, Siyah etc.

A:Use JKay Deluxe Settings app.
Q: When is theme xyz coming to the Kitchen???
A:If the Team said that a new theme will be added to the Kitchen, then it will be available as soon as its done.
Enable Notifications in the Kitchen App if you can't wait.
Q: I am not able to flash via Kitchen???
A:Delete Clockworkmod folder
Reason:
Previously to make the kitchen flash in older version of CWM5 we need to use a salte hash file that was placed in the Clockworkmod folder, Now with the updated CWM5 the actually problem with CWM5 was fixed by the respective creator!
So now what happens is that all you people have that salted hash file remaining in ur sd card that doesn't allow to flash stuff in the newer better CWM5, thats why when u delete the Folder it stats working coz the salted hash file gets deleted!
Now you may ask why delete the folder, when u can delete the file only!!
LOL answer is simle the Android os never recognizes the file there so when u open myfiles you never find the salted hash file inside the clockworkmod folder! You can use other apps and methods to delete the file but then there is the obvious questions from noobs!!
So Moral the problem is only with that one salted hash file and not ur backup

After reading jacknb1ack's comment I felt compelled to re-write this whole thread to accommodate for the various PC Programs that you use to do all of your apk modding which can and do make things a hell of a lot quicker. I've wrote this as something I would have liked to have come across when I first joined because I know there is a lot to take in, and hearing you need to decompile, edit this or that xml, recompile, sign etc etc etc can be off putting for some especially if you struggle to get a program or apktool setup to begin with.
Knowing how to use command prompts will be beneficial in the long run so I've wrote a detailed guide below which covers it from start to finish along with how to Sign and Zipalign your apks, pulling them from the computer and so on. I've also covered some Theming basics with links to everything you're ever going to need, which will be extra handy if you're just getting started.
Minimum Requirements:
A Rooted Phone.
Java SE Runtime Environment
Java SE Development Kit
Any of the apk modifying methods below.
7-Zip or WinRar
Theming Requirements:
Notepad++
Photoshop, GIMP or any other image editing software.
Patience. :silly:
To avoid any java not found issues you need to set up the PATH for it in Environment Variables, you can find a short Guide on how to HERE. This is how mine looks...
Code:
[B]C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;[/B]
I would advise that you also install the Android SDK but if you don't want to you can download this APK_Mod.zip that you can extract to a folder and place it anywhere you want on your Computer (I recommend C:\APK_Mod) and run any adb, apktool, zipalign or signing command prompts from it. You can find a more detailed guide for this method below.
But first off all here are some of the most common Programs that you can use to modify and theme your apks, and I'll start with one of the best...
Virtuous Ten Studio (VTS)
Virtuous Ten Studio (VTS) is the ultimate solution for the modification of android applications.
This program allows you to manage entire Android projects within an easy to use and familiar environment.
The intended group of users covers anyone from a themer over ROM devs up to the smali gods known for their awesome mods of existing apks.
The modifcation of smali code is one of the biggest features in VTS. You can easily decompile, edit and recompile any apk or jar file.
However, the application is not limited to smali files. You can edit almost any file found inside an apk or jar.
Virtuous Ten Studio is also the official successor to the highly important M10Tools released last year by the Virtuous Team.
You can easily edit any m10 file from Sense apps in order to resize or change them.
Additionally VTS brings support for un- and repacking of boot images (boot.img), a job that previously required a cygwin installation with the dsixda kitchen.
Since VTS' own implementation is a native windows solution, which means you don't need dsixda or cygwin anymore.
VTS has been designed to run on Windows, has been in development for nearly two years and has gone through many stages of testing.
Today VTS is a highly respected full blown Android IDE (Integrated Develoment Environment) suited for all your reverse engineering tasks.

Command Prompt Editing​
Basically this is just manually doing what all of the programs above need to do in order to decompile, recompile, sign and zipalign apks so it's worth knowing how to modify apks this way for occasions when the above programs for whatever reason gives you issues.
Use Linux or a Mac?
See the following threads for more information on using apktool on other Operating Systems...
APK Manager for Mac OS X

[tutorial] decompiling,recompiling and signing in linux (27-01-2013)
How to install and use Apktool with Ubuntu
Getting APKs To Your PC​
You have two options here...
1. Use a file manager on your Phone to copy and paste files to your SD, then connect to your PC and use Windows Explorer to copy and paste to your desired location.
2. ADB. Open a command prompt window in the ADB folder (see below) and type/copy the following command...
Code:
adb pull /system/app/ Original_apps
...which will pull the whole app folder to your computer and create a new folder called Original_apps, which you can then simply copy apps to the main folder ready to be modified (keep the Original_apps folder as a backup). Then do the same for your framework folder...
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/ Original_framework
...want to pull your Phones whole system...
Code:
adb pull /system/ Xperia_Z_System
...you can rename "Xperia_Z_System" to whatever you want.
Further Information: [WINDOWS][TUT]ADB tutorial, setting up ADB, usefull commands, collecting debug info.
This is a zip of the apktool folder I currently use - APK_Mod.zip - which as said above also contains the ADB files needed to pull and push apps from your Phone, or you can check out the following links...
[Tool] ADB Fileexplorer
[TOOL][WINDOWS] Android Apktool
Installing Resources​
For apktool to work you need to install the resources needed by your apks for de and recompiling, and those resources are other apks, the first apk regardless of your Phones manufacturer is going to be your framework-res.apk. The second apk you need is dependent on the manufacturer so you need to check your framework folder for another apk such as twframework.apk or SemcGenericUXpres.apk, in some cases it might even be the SystemUI.apk but you would need to check if you have issues with the other two. Put those two apks in the APK_Mod folder to begin with then open a command prompt window. The easiest way for me is holding the shift key then right clicking the mouse and selecting Open command window here, but if you're not able to do that then click your Start button and search for Command Prompt, then open it. You then need to point it to the relevant folder, so type cd then copy and paste the location of the folder (cd C:\APK_Mod) and hit enter.
The install commands are...
Code:
[B]apktool if[/B] framework-res.apk
...and for the second...
Code:
[B]apktool if[/B] SemcGenericUXpres.apk
Decompiling​
The command for decompiling is...
Code:
[B]apktool d[/B] framework-res.apk
...and so on for each individual apk you want to modify. A new folder will be created that is named after the apk you are modding, then you can edit xmls, smali files and .9png images. You'll notice that there are a lot more folders when you decompile an apk, that's normal as those folders are from the resources.arsc and where you'll find the xml files you may need to edit to make the changes you want.
Recompiling​
When you've done editing it's time to recompile, using the command...
Code:
[B]apktool b[/B] -insert folder name-
...and if you've edited your files correctly then it should compile with no errors and create a folder named dist in the decompiled folder along with a new apk.
Signing​
Before using the new apk you will need to sign it, to do this you need to extract (open the apk and simply drag and drop them to the dist folder) from the original apk the resources.arsc (only if you haven't changed anything in the values folder, the AndroidManifest.xml and META-INF folder (if it exists), then copy them into the new apk. In WinRar it will give you the option to choose the compression method, and it's vital that you choose Store as the compression method because if you don't then you WILL BOOT LOOP after restarting your Phone!
NOTE: If you have edited anything in the values folder then extract the resources.arsc from the new apk and copy (drag and drop) it back in the same manner described above.
Alternatively you can use the following command...
Code:
[B]java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8[/B] framework-res.apk.apk framework-resS.apk
...notice the extra "S", the output name has to differ from the input name otherwise it will give an error, if done right it will create a new apk called framework-resS.apk, just remember to rename it back to the original before using it on your Phone.
Signing For The Play Store​
If you plan on Publishing a Theme or any other app/apk to the Play Store then using the above method to sign your apks just wont work because you need to give it an individual signature that is unique to you, thankfully @AndroidGraphix has written a great guide that will show you how, it's a bit more fidgety than the above method but simple enough to follow...

Zipaligning​
DISADVANTAGES OF UNALIGNED APKs
Quite understandably, situation would be reserved for unaligned application packages. Resource reading would be slow and memory usage would be on the higher end of the spectrum. It would also depend on how many unaligned applications are present. For example, if less number of applications with an unaligned home application, you’d see slower application launch times. This is the best case scenario. For a worst case scenario, having a number of unaligned applications will result in the system repeatedly starting and killing processes, struggling with lags and huge battery drain.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- SOURCE
The command for zipaligning is...
Code:
[B]zipalign -v 4[/B] framework-res.apk ZAframework-res.apk
...notice the "ZA", again that can be anything you want so long as it differs from the original name, I use ZA for an obvious reason, and again don't forget to rename it before using on your Phone.
Getting apks back to your Phone​
It's just a reversal of how you got them off your Phone to begin with, use a file explorer and put your apk on your SD Card, then move it to the Phones System folder and change it's permissions to rw-rw-r, then move and replace it with the original. Most apps should continue to work but if you change your framework-res or SystemUI you will most likely need to reboot. Or you can use adb to push and install them. Check the previous link for the commands.
If all the above has worked correctly you should now have your modified apk installed with the changes you've made displayed on your Phone.
Theming & Modifying​
This is where the fun begins, once you've got setup to decompile your apks then obviously you're going to want to mod them, so here's a few pointers to clear up what seems like a daunting process to new comers...
To start with you'll probably just want to start with replacing images, so if that's all you want to do for now then here's a quick tip, you DON'T need to decompile or sign your apks!, simply edit and rename your replacment images on you computer, preferably using the same or similar dimensions then drag and drop them back into the right folders in the apk, always using Store as the compression method, but PLEASE NOTE; .9 pngs can be replaced in the same way, but if you want to edit them in Photoshop for example then you need DO need to decompile them.
A few things to note...
Smali code is real Developer territory, it's Matrix code to me , thankfully there's usually a guide to follow so you can simply copy and paste code without having to fully understand how it works, so don't fret about this.
.9pngs are simply png images with a 1 pixel border. You can edit anything within that border but anything on or over will give errors when building. Unless you're creating an image from scratch then you can leave the border as it is, it's that simple! Sure there's a bit more to .9png editing but you can find a few links below that go into more detail about .9s and how they work.
xmls are relatively simple and edited with Notepad++, much simpler to understand than smali and again, there's usually a guide to be found for most mods you may want to make yourself, but if you're feeling brave you can experiment with it when you have a basic understanding of how it works.
Restoring modified files if you mess up is easier and quicker with a CWM.zip, especially if you're modifying any framework apks! Just because an apk might build with no errors doesn't mean it won't give you any when installed to the Phone.
.9png Editing​
I hope after reading this explanation you're left wondering what all the fuss is about, as it really is quite simple. I'll use the following two images, btn_default_pressed_holo.9 & status_bar_close_off.9 to illustrate the basic point of the borders...
Decompiled .9pngs:
Recompiled .9pngs:
Those borders control which part of the image is stretched, and we'll use Draw 9-patch which is for editing the borders of decompiled .9pngs and lets you see how the image, when stretched, will be displayed on the Phone. Notice that the borders are different sizes, well that's because I only want/need a certain part of the image to stretch to get the desired look on the Phone.
...in the image below the left side shows the stretched image and desired effect should look on the Phone and the right side shows how it would look if I had edited the borders incorrectly or used none at all...
You can get away by not using a border but you would need to edit your image to specific dimensions to accommodate for the stretching, for example it might look fine for a simple OK button but it might not look right if you used the same .9png for a screen press which stretches the whole length of the screen, so you're better off just using them to begin with, plus you'll more than likely get errors down the line while decompiling or recompiling your apk.
The use of the border is made even more clear when you add text to an image. For my status_bar_close_off.9 I've filled all four sides of the image (except for an empty pixel in all four corners as that is the max amount of border you can use) as I need it to stretch the image just how I've edited it...
...but if I used the same sized left side border as the btn_default_pressed_holo.9 then this is how it would look on the Phone...
...which is obviously not the look I'm trying to achieve, as the left side border is causing the image to stretch incorrectly.
So that's basically it, depending on the image you're editing you can usually leave the borders alone but if you create one from scratch then you might need to play about with them if your images doesn't look quite right when used on the Phone. Here's a few links that will assist you further, especially the batch editing...

Xposed Framework​
rovo89 said:
In this thread, I'm presenting a framework which gives you the possibility to modify your ROM - without modifying any APK (developers) or flashing (users)!
...
Advantages:
No need to modify any APKs. This means:
No need to decompile, change things in smali, compile, sign, ...
It will work for odexed and deodexed ROMs.
Your mod is not bound to a specific version of the ROM. Unless there is a major change in the methods called for a certain functionality, your mod will continue to work even when you upgrade your ROM. Hell, it will probably even work with different ROMs.
Multiple mods can be installed at the same time, even if they change the same package. So you can use these battery icons and those quick toggles. Even hooking the same method twice is possible. Of course, this only works properly if the mods are not trying to do incompatible things.
It does its magic at runtime. That means you can implement options to let the user decide if they prefer the bikeshed to be painted in red or blue. Or you can have some extra logic for certain ROMs without building different mod versions.
It can be disabled easily without having to reflash.
It's open source.

ClockworkMod Recovery zips are used for flashing individual files to whole ROMS and can be a life saver if you push a badly edited apk to your Phone that results in a bootloop. There's also a few programs that can assist you with that too, but if all you're doing is replacing a few files all you really need is a template, then it's just a matter of creating the Phones folder setup in the zip which is simply creating folders: system\app - system\media\audio etc then dragging and dropping your files into it. A basic understanding of the updater script is essential, a ROM.zip will more than likely wipe your Phone whereas a Theme.zip may just replace files but it might delete some also.
See below for a CWM.zip Template but first some helpful links...

This is my Theme_CMW_Template.zip which is set up so you can add your own files to the framework and apps folders in the main system location, but you can easily add other folders to it if you want to add things like fonts, tones or anything else, just remember to add folders within folders if that's where the files you want to include are such as tones, media\audio\alarms for example.
If you navigate to META-INF\com\google\android you will find the updater-script which controls how the zip works and the text you see when you run it in CWM. As this zip is just for basically over writing files you don't need to edit anything except for a few lines...
...this is how I've edited it for my Ice Green ResMods theme...
...so just edit it using Notepad++ to your liking.
When adding files to your zip add them using Normal as the Compression Method...
...and that's pretty much it. Remember to remove the text files I've added otherwise they will be flashed to your folders too.
Deodexing​
The first thing I do when installing the latest firmware is Deodex it, mainly because having a deodexed ROM is easier to modify and you'll find a lot of the modifications that are are in the Themes And Apps sections require you to have a deodexed ROM. I use the dsixda's Android Kitchen to deodex and @pankaj88 has written a great guide here - [GUIDE] How to DEODEX stock ODEXED ROM using dsixda's kitchen - so you can do it yourself, or you can give the following tools a try.

The differences between Odex and Deodex Files...
In Android file system, applications come in packages with the extension .apk. These application packages, or APKs contain certain .odex files whose supposed function is to save space The odexed file structure works well as an optimization tool. Since these .odex files contain preliminary load information about each system app, the OS knows what to expect when it’s booting up, and consequently, loads all these apps faster.
On the other hand, it also makes hacking those applications difficult because a part of the coding has already been extracted to another location before execution.
For instance, on a non-rooted device you’ll find
system/app/Phone.apk ===> as well as ===> system/app/Phone.odex

Hi everyone,
Alokbina and I have created a tool which allows users to very easily deodex apks from a rom. This tool is very useful for Rom developers too. For now only windows is supported but we will try our best to make the same tool for linux too and make the tool as user friendly as possible. And, please don't forget to thank alokbina too.
NOW EVEN ON XDA PORTAL - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/deodex-all-the-things-with-universal-deodexer/
Requirements:-
--->Java installed on your PC
--->system/framework folder from your rom
--->apks from that SAME ROM with the respective .odex file
--->Patience and a calm head (common sense included)
You can watch this video for setting up and using the tool -

Hello,
First of all take a part in voting here
First of all take a part in voting here​First of all take a part in voting here​
I would need some good demo/tutorial video on how to use this tool. I don't have good microphone and experience to do this.
If there's anyone who can make a good video please PM. I'll include it in this thread.
In case You wouldn't understand all the functionality of this program just ask.
Here is a tool that I'm working on for some longer time.
On the beginning it was pretty lame, but now I use it even myself.
This program should work with every android phone (except: Mac Address Changer).
Just check out many features of this program.
Please keep in mind it has drag&drop functions in file explorer.
PS. You have to enter Your IP address in WIFI tab to enable all WIFI related stuff (also from the menu).

}
Do You like this layout of File Explorer or You would change that?
Here's some Youtube video for this program. It's v3.4, so pretty old. Also it's very lame.
But You can always make some other video presenting all program features or some kind of a tutorial how to use it.
I would place it over here instead of this old boring video.
It is only ~11717 lines of code, isn't that much isn't it?
You think it's newsworthy?
Nobody will never Donate, so I decided to make this program completely free, without any serial codes or anything. Maybe somebody will donate someday.
This is a very advanced program.
If You only want to have a quick file explorer please take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269808

Hi, just a quick suggestion: use .NET framework v2.0 b/c that comes preloaded with nearly all machines [and if not, comes in windows updates].
Otherwise great work! What is this programmed in? and with what? [IMO it looks like Microsoft Visual Studio? ]

Yes, It's Visual Basic, but it's already to late to change the framework. The framework v.4.0 is the default Framework for VB 2010
nice work... but to many batch files for my taste
and on win7 doesn't work.. any pressed button app exits...
you could add single instance code in main app multiple instances will just jam communication.

FAQ
Q: Is this based on coolexe's v15 ?
A: parsley, I had close contact with him about this, the plan was to release this as v15 but later on we decided to release it separately.
Q: can I update the YouTube app myself ?
A: NO! If you do that you will overwrite the modded version and you will lose HD playback and screen off playback.
Q: HELP I HAVE A PROBLEM
A:
dave said:
A common method for trouble shooting is to analyze logcat and dmesg outputs.
The procedure to get the outputs is described belows:
Go to app folder, run Terminal Emulator with the following commands:
Code:
su
dmesg >/mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt
logcat -d -v time >/mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt
Explanation: su = become superuser; dmesg command = get kernel log; logcat command = get android system log.
Attach the logs to your post if you wish to have others helping you understanding the outputs.
Here is a more basic how-to for the first time user.
How-to:
1> Go to 'MyApps' folder, find 'Terminal Emulator' icon and run it.
2> A blue screen appears, with tiny fonts. See Tip #1 to make the font larger.
3> Type su at the $ prompt. The prompt on the next line will change from $ to #
4> Type dmesg >/mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt at the # prompt on the next line. Note that there is a space between dmesg and the '>'
5> Type logcat -d -v time >/mnt/sdcard/logcat.txt at the next # prompt. Note that there are four spaces within the command.
6> Exit Terminal Emulator, and run a file explorer. There should be a logcat.txt and a dmesg.txt in the root of the sdcard.
7> Upload and attach the two files to a posting.
Several tips:
1> The default font is very small. Press the 'menu' button (located between the 'home' and the 'back' buttons on the right bezel) will bring up a menu screen. Select 'Preferences, then 'Font size' then '20 point'. Exit and run the app again.
2> The command prompt is similar to a Windows environment:
The ' at the command line means that we're running without superuser access.
The '#' at the command line means that we're running with superuser access.
3> Copy to output files to PC and use something like notepad+ (not the windows build-in notepad) to read.

Q: can I flash 1.x over v1?
A: yes all non major versions (for example: 2.1,2.2, 3.4) will be updates, and you will need to flash vX first (for example: v1,v2,v3)
Q: can I flash v2 right away?
YES! no need to flash everything all over again
Q: What is the difference between V4A FX and HiFi?
A: FX contains many effects, while XHiFi only has audio restore/detailing options. If you like many effects(reverb, bass, surround) then choose FX, if you like clear audio/vocal and you have a good headset, choose XHiFi. Or if you want to have the very best, choice both
To make it clear:
V4A FX version: Mainly renders many audio quality
V4A XHiFi version: Mainly restores lossy audio quality.
V4A FX and XHiFi combined (Refer coexists installation): More settings to play with, but quality will be much better!
Note: No matter you select FX or XHiFi in sound settings, they will run together at the same time.
Q: I want to disable my screenshot function when using Swipe to awake
A:
with a root file browser such as es file explorer go to:
/system/build.prop
change ro.htc.framework.screencapture = true to ro.htc.framework.screencapture = false
restart
Done !!! (thanks to ardanai)
If you please have any improvement regarding audio,could you please post the needed patches somewhere?
I would like to make audio better in my builds,and you will be credited

Sure! I will release the tweaks later on, they're based on Knight47 mods
Does it matter if he is a zipmodder. Last I checked that's allowed on xda. 75% of ROMs are just base ROMs with a twist. Made with a kitchen and zip program. IMO this ROM can stay. Period. End of discussion.
thx for your works and i'm downloading now
Nice!

Hey gkillerx! Would be great if you could implement that: bassmod by bassini and/or a v6 supercharged services.jar to make the launcher "die hard"

Thanks for the link will check it out !
Regarding the supercharger mod, that wont be included. The launcher is already bullit proof and locked in the memory. So there shouldn't be any home screen / sense crashes. Though if someone does experiences this, report it and I will make it die hard!
Btw guys fyi I've also included a sense 4 skin (you can select it in the skin selection menu. I will upload some image examples later on.

Ah new rom the looks promising Gonna try it out tonight!

Is this rom based on new coolexe v15?

Click to expand...

Not really I started working on this Rom a few weeks ago then contacted coolexe and he was working on v15. First this Rom should be released as v15 but since I modded more then I planned, coolexe and I decided that releasing it separately is better.
So v15 uses some of my mods (apps update and the build.prop, GPS patch link I gave him to). And that's it.
Edit:
Added a FAQ
EDIT 2:
Did a linpack benchmark
Single: 43
Threaded: 62

Easy anwser:
No
Complicated anwser:
By modding the APK files, changing the ICON's and repacking and resign them again it should be possible, if there is an easyer way, I don't know that but someone else might know it ?

Installation instructions
NEW INSTALL PROCEDURE (simplified):
wipe data / factory reset.
flash 5.8.zip
that is the only file you need.
when you flash it , you will see options for part 1 and 2.
install part 1.
reboot to system.
flash 5.8.zip
install part 2.
choose options,
fix permissions, reboot.
the new installer will walk you through the install easily and quickly.
MY INSTALL PROCEDURE:
Figured I'd write these down so that there was no confusion. These are the steps I take to ensure a proper install.
There may be other methods that work just fine, however, this works every time for me and is most compatible.
If you have any problems.. before you get angry, you may want to try this way first.
While doing this, it's safe to ignore all references to "unable to mount '/usbstorage.'" This is just recovery looking for a usb otg device.
Nothing to worry about here. Just pretend it doesn't exist. It's looking for a usb stick or hd.
1. >Copy minin3.mj4.R4x.zip to your memory card. (internal or external - I use the external card for backups and rom installs,
and have never run into an issue though my card is only 16gb. If you have any issues here try from the internal card and remove the external.
In my case external_sd/roms/minin3/minin3.mj4.R4ultimate.zip)
2. >Boot phone to recovery. (from power off - volume up+home+power)
I use TWRP recovery Version - 2.6.3.7. However, if you run into issues you may try going back to version - 2.6.3.2
3. >press "wipe"
>press "advanced wipe"
>check "Dalvik Cache" , "System" , "Data" , "cache"
(you may be able to get away with not wiping data, but once again, I highly recommend it)
>swipe to Wipe
>look for "wipe complete successful" at the top of the screen
(once agian ignore all references to "unable to mount '/usbstorage')
>press "back"
>press the little house icon in the bottom left (sort of anyway)
>press "reboot"
>press "recovery"
>swipe to reboot
>press "do not install"
(phone will then reboot back to recovery)
4. >press "install"
>navigate to your rom file
(in my case, I pressed on the grey bar that says "storage: internal storage" and selected "micro sdcard" (the external sd)
I then selected the folder "minin3" from the bottom box, then the file "minin3.mj4.R4ultimate.zip")
>swipe to confirm flash
(ignore "unable to mount /usbstorage")
>wait aprox 1-3 minutes while it does its thing.. you should then see "successful" and some buttons
>press "reboot system"
5. >Initial phone setup is optional. In my case, I just skip it all and log in after. Works both ways.
(either way, get through the setup wizard until you are on the desktop)
>boot back into recovery (either power off, or reboot and hold vol+ and home)
6. >press "install"
>navigate back to the rom file (for me once again minin3/minin3.mj4.R4ultimate.zip)
>swipe to confirm flash (give it a minute to do its thing)
>press the little home button again in the bottom left
7. >press "advanced"
>press "fix permissions"
>swipe to confirm (this should be very quick)
>press "reboot system"
8. phone should boot to dashboard
9. >now would be a good time to also open both viper4android apps and let them install the drivers
>choose whatever setting you like for viper4android and choose cortex neon for xhifi.
At this point you should be ready to go with all the major stuff ready and known bugs squashed.
11. >reboot
12. >enjoy MiniN3 v5.4
(If dirty flashing (not wiping before hand - epecially data) you still may want to boot and flash a second time, and then fix permissions in case I missed anything.. it won't hurt either way)
UPDATE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS>
FULLY INSTALL PREVIOUS VERSION (in this case 5.4)
then reboot to recovery, flash the update, and before rebooting go to advanced>fix permissions.
then reboot.

CONTRIBUTORS TAKE NOTICE.​
Apparently issue was taken with how we were running the thread.
In an attempt to keep us in the rules the following changes were made.
Even though all users were getting updates as I thought they were stable. We are not allowed to have anything that looks like your paying to get extra features.
Some issues were also taken with the donation wording.
Until we decide a final solution. This is what will happen for the immediate future.....
ALL CONTRIBUTORS have been moved to the "test group"
For you guys nothing really changes.
The folder your using stays the same though the label will change from contributor folder to test folder.
New additions to the test group will be at my discretion only. Anyone may contact me by PM or email and ask for a slot. I can accept or deny them at will.
From time to time I will invite users from the thread who have shown a commitment to the rom.
I will also invite those who contribute something useful to the rom. (If they have work in it they should have access at all points)
The test group will then continue the same job as the contributor group was doing previously. Really for this part it's just a name change. As things are deemed stable (by me again no one else gets a say here) they will be released to everyone.
I'm not sure how else this will effect the future of this rom on xda. Though I will be maintaining development for my own use anyway.
So for the moment. As far as you guys are concerned. No real changes.
If anyone would like details you may contact me privately.
I will only discuss this here in general terms just so there is no possible future issue.

lol thanks !
i was just thinking how there's probably another 100mb to be had once i get some more time to root around and comment some stuff out.
it may be a bit extreme. but it has all functions i need for my daily uses. and all the main stuff still works.
Great Thanks
Looks good, by bloatware do you mean all Samsung apps are removed as well? Did you keep the Sammy keyboard? Love that thing lol.

thats what i like to hear. version two coming in the next day or so. mostly done.another 80 mb removed but added some functionality back.
re added gallery mostly just so it was possible to change lockscreen wallpaper. cleaned up some bugs added some smaller stuff back. still looking like right around 550mb with some of the functions returned.i am going to keep the stock installed apps very light but want it to come out of the box with everything needed to use.anything else can just be grabbed from the market. just finishing up what to add back.and finding a place to host it and get it uploaded with my slow poke internet,
