friends
someone could help me or raise the issue with the original purpose of the windows, and not use that brings the theme
and try changing the original XML (xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip), but the keyboard disappeared and I can not connect via USB, restarted
Greetings from Chile
excuse my English. jajjajjaajaaja sucks google translate
thanks
Hi.
Could you elaborate chronologically what happened/what did you do?
Hi
1 GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip extract files
2 Remove the framework-res.apk files
3 delete the files in the folder res / anim
4 Copy the contents of "xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip" folder anim
5 sign "framework" res.apk "
6 compressed "GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip"with the new content "framework" res.apk "
7 signs "GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip"
install the theme with recovery, starts, but see some sort of errors that were closed following
google.process.gapps
com.android.email
com.mobileleader.sync
com.android.deskclock
the keyboard does not start (to write anything, numbers, names, etc)
I can not connect to usb
thank you very much for reading this and help
I hope you did nand backup your phone before installing the theme.
If you did that, do 'Nand restore' in recovery menu, reboot
if you did not do that, you need to reflash void-echo, reboot, install any void's modules such as kernel, a2sd, gapps, etc. that you want.
After making sure your phone is OK, try these steps:
- redownload GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip
- redownload xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip
- extract contents of xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip to a directory in your PC
- copy GDDUltimateForLGVoidEcho.zip to a file, say you name it 'temp.zip'
- open temp.zip (just open, not extracting it) with 7-zip
- while opening temp.zip, navigate to directory 'system/framework'
- doubleclick framework-res.apk
- navigate to directory 'res\anim'
- drag-drop previous extracted files from 'xmlsForStandardWindowAnimation.zip' to this directory ('res\anim')
- close 7-zip, answer 'Yes' when asked whether to update contents of framework-res.apk
- sign temp.zip
- copy the signed zip file to sd card and flash it
Hope this solves your problem.
Cheers.

Hi Guys ...
For those of you who want to change the logo of your android phone when turned on, it should change the logo on the kernel you are using, with your own logo, I will try to help explain how a simple and more detailed. If you can not do it any other way. Mugkin this way can help you. Tools needed:
- Linuk + Perl
- Windows
- A little patient and creative.
Ok! Go ...............
1. Prepare to be in exstack Kernel. You must open a pack kernel first. "DooMLord" has made the tool easy to us doing that, this tool will work in linuk.
Download the device see here:

+ Kernel.sin-and-FTF-creator-v1.0:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363460
Run your Linuk ....
Save-kernelsin.pl and unpack the kernel will be open, the folder "HOME" on your linuk.
Call the command prompt, then type:
. / Unpack-kernelsin.pl kernel.sin
or use the command
perl unpack-kernelsin.pl kernel.sin
It will make:
- Folder-ramdisk kernel.sin
- Kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz
- Kernel.sin-kernel
- Kernel.sin-header
Delete the file "kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz" and file "kernel.sin-header".
Open the folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk",
Please edit or replace your "logo.rle" in the folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk" according to your desire. When finished editing "logo.rle", then do to repack folder "kernel.sin-ramdisk", by way of
Typing commands at the command prompt:
$ Cd kernel.sin-ramdisk
find. | Cpio-o-H newc | gzip> .. / newramdisk.cpio.gz
This will result in "newramdisk.cpio.gz"
2. Now we take the file "kernel.sin-kernel" and "newramdisk.cpio.gz". Save and make sure that both files in one folder.
3. Now you fire up your windows, preferably on Win-xp.
4. Open the folder kernel.sin-and-FTF-creator for your mobile
5. Enter "kernel.sin-kernel" and "kernel.sin-ramdisk.cpio.gz" into folder-and-FTF kernel.sin-creator.
6. Make sure Java is installed on your windows? or if not, you can follow this step.
7. On BUILD-IT.BAT right click and click edit, in order to be as follows:
echo Manifest-Version: 1.0 > manifest.mf
echo device: X10 >> manifest.mf
echo branding: dooMkernel -v06-BootManager-v1.4 >> manifest.mf
echo Created-By: dooMkernel >> manifest.mf
echo version: 2.3.3 >> manifest.mf
ren kernel.jar X10_2.3.3_dooMkernel-v06-BootManager-v1.4.ftf
8. Remove the line
del manifest.mf
del kernel.sin
save and reflace to BUILD-IT.BAT
9. In the folder-and-FTF kernel.sin-creator instead of the name "kernel.sin-kernel" to "image" and rename "-ramdisk.cpio.gz kernel.sin" to "ramdisk"
*NOTE!!
[Make sure you have change the file name correctly, because if not kernel.sin corupt.
If you have a problem in changing the name, street and do this:
How to Rename File Extensions:

Folder Options
Click on the 'View' Tab
Then simply uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types'.
Then click Apply
Finally click Ok
Now you will be able to change file extensions, such as .JPG to .jpg.]
10. Then Double-BUILD-IT.BAT then ENTER
11. It generates two files: "kernel.sin" and "MANIFEST.MF"
12. Next create a save file folder "kernel.sin and loader.sin to the folder.
13. Now run Flashtool
14. Click Advanced and select Bundle Creation
15. In the Select source folder, select the folder where you save the file and loader.sin kernel.sin
16. on the choice Devices customize your devices, adjust the version of ROM version, the choice of content with brand Branding your devices.

INTRODUCTION
HI GUYS..!
Though there are many threads explaining about the set up of android kitchen and deodexing roms...i found it a bit confusing,as most of the threads take you to different threads which again explain the steps in detail,most of which though informative is unnecessary as they are General threads .. so,TODAY i will be explaining simple step by step procedures from setting up cygwin to doedexing a rom for our devices...
THIS THREAD IS FOR L3 BUT SHOULD WORK ON L5 AND L7 ALSO ( for extracting &deoxing-Only First generation ie; L3,L5&L7..Not for L3 II,L5 II, L7 II ,but the method for android kitchen is common for both generations)
THINGS NEEDED(DOWNLOADS)
1.JAVA- download here http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
2.LG EXTRACTION KIT PUT TOGETHER BY ME -
http://www.mediafire.com/download/qdxgh0hqznph3nf/KDZ_extraction_Kit+kitchen+cygwin.rar
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 1-INSTALL JAVA (just download and install it)
STEP 2- SET UP CYGWIN (This method is for Windows-i have provided the 32 bit setup ,for 64 bit download the setup from website below and skip to step 3) for 64 bit users - http://www.cygwin.com
1.extract the rar file i have provided and open the folder
2.open setup-x86.exe - don't proceed
3.open the cygwin setup guide provided in the folder and follow the steps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 3- SET UP ANDROID KITCHEN
1. open the folder u extracted from my rar file
2.right click on Android-Kitchen-0.224_2 and extract here
3.now copy the "kitchen" folder to c:\cygwin\home\(your_user_name)\
[Note :: make sure that ur username does not contain any spaces (eg; homepc) (not eg; home pc) ;if it does then copy to c:\cygwin\home\ ]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 6- CHECK IF ANDROID KITCHEN WORKS
1.Right click on the desktop shortcut of cygwin and run as administrator
2.type
Code:
cd kitchen
for people who have spaces in there user name
Code:
cd /home/kitchen
3.to open menu
Code:
./menu
IF YOU DONT GET ANY ERRORS THEN PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 7- EXTRACTING THE KDZ FILE(For custom odexed roms proceed to STEP 9)
(For the users who don't know about the .kdz , it is the file format for the stock lg rom firmwares,...to download the kdz files goto-
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=11 and download the firmware that suits you accordingly...im using v10k open eupore )
1.open the folder u extracted from my rar file
2.rightclick on lgextract LGExtract-0.2.1 and select extract here
3.copy the .Kdz to the extracted folder
4.type
Code:
LGExtract.exe -kdz V10X_xx.kdz
(wherein "v10X_xx " stands for the version of kdz u want to extract eg v10k_00)
5. you should end up with three files a .dz file ,a .dll file and a .cab file ( eg DZ_LGE400AT-00-V10k-EUR-XXX-AUG-08-2012+0.dz ; QCT_E400_20120703.dll and V10k_00.cab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 8-EXTRACTING THE ..DZ FILE
1.open the folder that u extracted from my rar file
2. rightclick on the DZDecrypter_v0.5.rar file and select extract here.... do the same for the DZDecrypter_v1.0b.rar file
3. now "copy" the .dz file into both extracted folders

NOTE :custom rom users use can this command via the terminal emulator to obtain the system file's on the rom... it is recommended to do this on a Fresh installation or else you will obtain a lot of unwanted files along with the ones needed ..
Code:
su
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar

Click to collapse
this will create a .tar file on your sdcard which u can latter transfer to your pc and extract using winrar or 7zip
The files needed are
/app
/bin
/etc
/fonts
/framework
/lib
/media
/semc
/usr
/xbin
build.prop

10. press enter to continue
11.select option 0 (advanced options)
12.select 11 deodex files in your rom
13.select v and change API LEVEL to 10(this is for gingerbread rom ie 2.3.x for other rom select accrdly)
14.select b deodex both folders ( sometimes u can get errors for few apks to resolve that delete the apks in the location below in system/app ...you have to delete both the .apk and .odex ; PS:don't delete the others they are deodexed...!)
15.press enter
16. view the contents of the folder navigate to C:\cygwin\home\your_user-name\kitchen\WORKING_xxxxxx_xxxxxx u'll find the deodexed apks in system\apps

3.rightclick on 'deodex.zip' and select open with 7zip

This method is only for first generation of L series. You tried to extract dz of P710 (L7 II) so obviously it won't work.
