How would i go about changing my splash screen? i have the image i wanna use but is there a way i could flash it or is it built into the kernel?
You mean the one before boot animation? If yes, it's inbuilt in kernel, and it's calling boot logo.
thanks.. i never messed with a kernel before so could someone tell me a program i could use to extract it..

For all who want desperately to make the Dual speakers of LWW work in the new ICS Roms (FXP Cm9) etc, Please REPLACE or ADD the following files (attached) in the zip file of the respective Rom that you are using in the CORRECT PATHS, before flashing that Rom in CWM. The paths are already given in the "RAR" archive, but for your convenience, I'm writing them once again.
For a CWM Flashble Zip (Dual Speakers and X-loud) For FXP CM9 Check ATTACHMENT....Flash It After flashing CM9....in CWM...
File Paths for Dual Speakers :
/system/bin/mediaserver
/system/lib/hw/audio.primary.default.so
/system/lib/hw/audio.primary.msm7x30.so
/system/lib/hw/audio_policy.default.so
/system/lib/hw/audio_policy.msm7x30.so
/system/lib/liba2dp.so
/system/lib/libaudioeq.so
/system/lib/libaudioflinger.so
/system/app/AudioEffectService.apk
/system/etc/audio_effects.conf
/system/etc/permissions/com.sonyericsson.audioeffectif.xml
/system/framework/semc_audioeffectif.jar
/system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf
Hope this makes your ICS experience even more 'bug'-less.
CREDITS :
Lasan(FrogyFurnetal) (For the files) , Expeacer (For telling which files to replace or add) , ramezzidane (For the zip) and obviously to all the other Developers for making the amazing builds in which we can try this.
This is experimntal....Dont try if u can't take risks...
Confirmed to work with FXP cm9...So, it does not work on MiniCm or ExMIUI due to different building sources...
For a CWM flashable zip by 'someguyfromhell' check THIS out and post your findings and issues with different Roms. This zip is confirmed to work on GB CM7. The flashable zip in not for ICS Cm9.
Are you tried it with MiniCMSandwich or ExMIUI? Because when we tried last time, the phone don't boot...

Should I create a CWM-flashable .zip file?
Also, your first post says to replace these files before flashing the ROM. That will not work, because ROM installation replaces these files, causing the dual speakers to not work.
These files need to be replaced after ROM installation.

I've been wanting to try the kitchen out to see if I can try deodexing and zipaligning etc on the stock touchwiz ROM I'm running.
Do you think it would work? (despite it being discontinued)
yes it works still, works on ics & jellybean (i use it myself to deodex and zipalign)

Yes dxixda kitchen works but you will need to add another file with gs3 parameters in the edify_defs folder with name m0..still the updater-script does not work . It gives me errors in the installing boot.img stage.. . Anyways you can use the kitchen to create your rom and then package your rom manually using updater-script and update-binary from some other working rom.. Then sign it..
If you or anyone finds a solution to that problem do let us know..

I don't know anything about stuff like that

Deodexing will work just fine..no probs..some times you might get an error with one or two apps..just use the option to deodex a single app and you will be good to go..
:good:
Edit:
Most important change the api level to 16 before deodexing..
just make a copy of your zipped rom, drop it into the working folder, deodex the files you want to and then pull those files out of the working folder and drop them into the original rom zip folder (minus the original odexed files)
no need to change anything, no need to drop new files in or mess with update script
as you will use your existing update script/meta inf folder blah blah blah, it means you can say yes to the mods the kitchen wants to make as you will only be taking the deodexed files from there, nothing else
(does that make sense? - im guessing you will ignore this anyway like my previous post))

Nah, I basically said "f*ck it and deleted the whole thing.

Sorry for dragging out an old thread but I thought I would have a go with this. I have the kitchen installed, I have put I9300XXDLI5_I9300OXADLI5_I9300XXDLI5_BTU.zip in the original_update and have the m0 file in tools/edify_defs
I then try and extract the ROM but I get an error Error: No system folder found!
How can I not even get started? I must be missing something basic here!

Can't I start with the ODIN file of the leaks? It must have a system image in it? Where do you start with this? I thought a whole flashable ROM would be ideal.

Extract the tar file and put the system.ext4.img and boot.img in the update folder.. Then Dxixda kitchen will recognize it..

Oh yeah, I forgot, the system.img must be coverted from yaffs img to an ext4 file. I believe the utility is called ext2fs (or something like it)
Dsixda's tool should provide that program anyhow.
Well I unzipped the ROM and untarred the md5 and then it at least got me started. I am now just working out what I can do and what I need to get. Thanks for your help.
[edit]Well I built the ROM and tried both the update and updater scripts but both fail. Will go and re-read the help. [/edit]

Hello!
Can someone explain to me what differences are between these roms? (see attachements):
I have MT6755 device and it's stock ROM has inside a boot.img, system.new.dat, system.patch, META-INF, etc..
And then I found a device which ROM has inside just boot.img, META-INF and system folder.
What's the difference?
If I want to port a custom rom, does my device need to have in a custom rom these files(system.new.dat, system.patch...) too, or can I use a "structure" of the ROM zip with just boot.img and system?
As far as i know You just need only System,boot.img and meta-inf also data if you wish to add an app as user

So if I want to port a ROM from device that has (system.new.dat, etc..), I need only to extract system.new.dat to get system folder and just use it?
