[Q] tar: not found - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to tar my system/ directory but got 'tar: not found" I am perm rooted on a stock evo 3D. su'd up and used "tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. =)
-----------
I didn't find out why I couldn't tar but I did find a work around. Opened cmd and did "pull system" It pulled everything for me and I didn't even have to untar on my PC. Hope this helps anyone in the same boat as I was.

Just add 'busybox' before 'tar'. Hope it helps someone.

Did you add call the command as 'busybox tar' ?? (without the quotes of course). Without prefixing busybox, tar may not work.

use

A little late to the thread but it seems that if you install busybox from the market you can use tar

[Q] Creating a stock-based rom!

Hey guys!
How do I create a stock-based rom? The only thing I found was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533740 But I don't know if it applies to Ace too.
Someone can confirm if this works? Also, If I just take a install-script from another ROM it will work? Or I'll need to write my own?
And, last but not least, for themeing, what files I need to change? Framework or tw-framework?
Okay that most things in that tut works some things are not 4 tha ace
scripts u can just add other scripts from roms no need 2 write own (ask permisions ofcorce)
Theme edit systemui.apk in system/app
edit framework-res.apk system/framework
edit twlauncher.apk system/app
and u can edit tw-framework if u wanna (not much 2 theme there)
HOPE I HELPED!!!
GOOD LUCK

I've made my first ROM using your tutorial as basis I need to know if there is something much different between building a CM7 rom and a stock ROM. Since stock roms always came with those other files (modem, phone, csc...), I need to know if I can just extract the system.rfs file, edit what I wand or what I need and made a flashable zip.
A bit off-topic question: where are the resources used on the lockscreen? framework-res.apk?
Quick Question: if I pick the apps that I have installed libs and put them on /system/lib, they will work?
For the lockscreen and other graphic (theme) edits check this tut, gives you a feel of where to screw with the framework-res.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543059
The easiest thing to do is to replace .9.png files with those of other ROMS to personalize it. Editing the xml files takes some trial and error, but its easier than it seems.
Thank you! One more thing: The power menu, it is hard-coded or I can add options to it via xml editing?

If you want to add options to power menu,you need to edit android.policy.jar,framework.jar and framework-res.apk.Here is a guide on that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811532 You might need to make a few changes to make it adapt,like change the string ids,and its GlobalActions$3 you should copy for ace,its GlobalActions$4.smali.

Just download a package from Odin.You will get a .tar.md5 file which you wont be able to extract,so rename the file to .tar Now,you will be extract it,after extraction,you will get many .img files like system.img,boot.img. Extract system.img,replace stock boot.img with Cf-root and thats about it.You could take the updater script from BlackHawk as it does the job most of the times.

I extracted the stock rom (system.rfs within the system files) and used the cf-root boot.img but my rom didn't start after flashing. I only saw the samsung galaxy ace logo and a blue triangle on the upper left corner of screen.
From the stocklite rom I used the updater-script. Maybe there is the fault?
Here the rom: Link
Please help me

Hmm...thats weird..Try taking the updater script and binary from blackhawk and try.If it still doesnt work,then try and take a logcat,it might help.

Let me just download it and check the rom.
Hi,
Thank you for testing it.
I didn't copy the csc files into the system directory.
But i tried it with csc but without any success..
Please have a look over my rom..
Im very confused
PS: took the updater script from blackhawk and one other. Both are the same.

Thanks for the tip on the menu and all. Now I'll start to work on the ROM, but I'll still wait for the confirmation if the update script works!

Lol,updater script will work.Where do you think everyone takes updater scripts from? Its too big/dangerous to write up on your own,so what do you do,you take an existing one and modify it to work with your rom.Oh,and give credits to the original dev who wrote the updater script.
Hi,
I'm uploading the rom to mediafire now.
I give you the link when the rom is up in few minutes.
Thank you

How can I push a own created "go" scope to my phone?

Hi all,
I followed the Tutorial at https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/scopes/tutorials/developing-scopes-go/ until the last step. But how can I install the resulting arm binary on my phone?
Sent from my awesome Ubuntu Touch device using the Forum Browser app
Use the SDK's device kits feature.

Oh, I just saw you're developing a Go scope.
Use
Code:
click build <directory>
to build a click package, adb push it to your device and install it using
Code:
pkcon install-local name.click
.
Thanks for your reply. I found some usefull scripts, which helped me to get a click-package on my phone.
