I was wondering what programs/proper steps to customizing a ROM. For example, if I want to take a stock ROM and add/delete apk's and any other customizations. I am just wondering what programs/steps devs are doing now days. Any direction would be great, thanks.
All u need is 7zip to do that. If ur not actually cooking a ROM from scratch then just get all ur fav roms and grab the apks and tweaks out of their Rom and place it in the same spot and folder in the Rom u are modifying. I haven't flashed a ROM for months doing it that way and I have all the tweaks and mods that are in most roms out now.
Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
Thanks. Yeah I don't plan on cooking up anything, just looking to do some minor tweaks to my liking on roms I already use.
Here is a great guide that Scott from ScottsROMS put together - http://www.scottsroms.com/showthrea...od-CleanROM-before-installing-v1.0-10-12-2011 .

Scott put it together and deserves all the credit. It is a great guide - even for me to understand.
Love that guide, Scott is a beast!

I do alot of my Rom Customizing from my Phone! Its pretty Simple with RootExplorer...
Just basically Add or Delete whatever apks from System/Apps then zip it up, then use ZipSigner to Sign it for you!
These are Theme templates for the people that like to change things up without haveing to flash a whole ROM.
They only contain the app, font, and framework folders for the system. AGAIN THIS IS NOT A ROM.
You can use this for a couple of diffrent things:
1. dodex a stock rom
2. return a themed rom back to stock deodexed
3. Create your own theme w/o building a whole ROM.
Have fun and happy themeing
YES, i know things like this are kind of outdated but i'm set in my ways and still use them. So, if you use them, please hit the thanks button.

I have the ZTE Avail 2 (aka Z992) (and it sucks, considering it's a $70 phone, buying a new one isn't an option because I just built a computer). It hasn't had an update since 4.1.1 and it's very slow, (usually have only ~50mb of ram free when just sitting at launcher) even with all of the tricks to speed it up (greenfiy, cleaner, etc) and on top of that, it's loaded with features that ZTE put in that suck. So after searching and searching for a custom ROM with support for my phone, I can confirm there is zero. I looked at the rom dev tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272270 and the kitchen program doesn't support my phone either. Does that mean I'm screwed? If there's a way to make a rom compatible other than the android kitchen or straight up learning to program, please tell me. I'm willing to learn anything that isn't hugely time consuming. Thanks for any replies.

No, you are not. You can try many other porting tutorials around the web. I found a list of phones similar to yours, might come in handy.
In fact, since your are trying to "port" ROMs, just think about the fact that "where did those ROMs come from?" Those ROMs were built from source code. The Android project is open source and if you are feeling adventurous, you can just grab the source code and compile it yourself for your device. It might be very easy or very tough, depending on your device. I would advise you to try to build Cyanogenmod 10.1 from source code. Check here and here.
And make sure to check this (must).
Cheers man! Trust me, trying to build Cyanogenmod from source will be a lot of fun!
Thank you! So I found CM for the xperia tipo, which was on the list of similar devices. I should use that one and change whatever needs to be changed, right?
Also, is it possible to do that for 4.4 stock? That may be a better idea if CM consumes too much ram

Okay, ignore my last replies, I've been reading a lot and kind of know what I'm doing now.
Only problem is, I can't find a stock rom of my phone! The closest thing I found was a custom ROM for a phone similar to mine, which is confirmed working to the one I actually have. So would that do okay? androidforums . com/prelude-all-things-root/795640-azazel-rom-z993-aio.html is the one. Thanks again for any help.

You can easily take a backup of your current ROM. Try booting into recovery and making your own custom recovery (ClockWordMod).

Oh, I didn't know that would work, thanks again! I have my rom modded like crazy though, tons of xposed modules and build.prop edits, also I uninstalled a lot of stock apps - I'm sure I could get the build.prop somewhere, but what about the other things? Do they matter at all?
Edit: after the backup I now have a ton of tars, a recovery.img, and a boot.img. I extracted all of the tars, now do I just put all of the folders from the tars in a folder with the imgs and that's my base rom?

Okay, I've come pretty far and I've made several flashable zips and fixed many errors, but there's one thing I can't figure out - the updater script doesn't work, and I realized it's because I was using the one from the original port, and I need the one for my phone, which I can't get from the cwm recovery. I really need the whole META-INF folder. Where can I get that?
I tried for 1 week and i didnt find any official and stable rom for my samsung galaxy note 4 Sm 910h. I used resurrection remix unofficial and camara didnt worked there . Please any solution there help me
l will try to squeeze in time to build two stock Lollipop roms for your Sprint note 3's. A stock odexed and a stock fully deodexed. BUT FYI... a fully deodexed LOLLIPOP framework is the only way to be able to do several popular mods for our phones, however deodexing the framework will defeat the purpose of ART. So it's your choice on this. You see, Lollipop uses oat files etc and most of the imporrtant odexes for several framework jar's are not individually odexed, they are hidden elsewhere in other framework files meaning you can't simply deodex an individual jar and expect to do a mod and put it in the rom. Not gonna happen. To properly run a deodexed framework you will want to fully deodex the entire framework in one fail swoop. Enough about that. I'll see what i can do to get you all a stock rom base or two.
Please, No PM's on time frame etc. I am already in touch with another member who will be your Note 3 rep concerning the stock rom bases. He will make himself known if and when he is ready. Thank you.
Thanks for the heads up , really looking forward to whatever comes out of kitchen
btw , my own preference would be a debloated rom , two variants may be , one insanely debloated with TW intact , other moderately debloated with TW intact.
odexed or not your choice
Thanks
thanks @tx_dbs_tx
that's very generous of you to do so.

My only job here will be to create a pure stock rom "base". Future custom and/or "debloated" roms, will be up to you friendly chef's, themers, etc. I'm only making the foundation so to say.
I've already gotten all of the rom files ready, I just have to build and make necessary modifications in a few areas. I'm doing a little at a time as time permits. Once I upload these base roms, you will have to ask your Note 3 dev's to build their own custom Lollipop roms using these base roms Just wanted to make this clear so everyone understands my role here. Thank you.

I have my hands full with my own Note 4 rom project and testing fixes with a phone i dont have is dificult and time consuming. Ill hive my buddy anothet day or two and if he hadnt finished with a fresh build then i will pick it back up and finish for u guys.

This ROM is an exact copy of my ROM Light Xperion.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-light-xperion-rom-sony-xperia-z5-t3481749
I am totally not fine with someone stealing my work, adding a few files and then reproducing it as their own. I had spent hours together for porting the apps and making them stable and would i like it if someone just copies the apks in their rom without my permission? No he didn't ask my permission before using my files. Here are my observations to prove that its a remake of my rom:
1. Updater script is the same, no changes at all. Just changed rom information and different installation method.
2. My ported systemui.apk which took me so long to get it stable is present in this rom. Same app size and same date modified (Infact most of the apps have same date modified). My Systemui has glitches like widened icons. There are almost all my ported apps present.
3. I had simply added some apks without relevent folders in /app and /priv-app to make me recognize my work which is also there in rom.
Please close this thread.
