Install DSIXDA kitchen first..tutorial here
Now use an already existing custom ROM, Stock Firmware, Nandroid Backup to create your working folder..
Do whatever you want to do..
Now copy the meta-inf folder from an existing CWM flashable ROM..and paste it into your working folder..
Select the system folder, boot.img, META-INF folder and create a zip file ..
if you have modem.bin and /data/app functionality..you will have to make appropriate changes to your updater-script file..
Sign your zip using the tool i have attached..
[How To]
Extract the zip file in a folder
rename your zipped ROM as update.zip
put it in the Autosign folder
run the AutoSign.bat file
Now wait untill your zip is signed..you will get a update-signed.zip as the final ROM..

That zip file he attached is only for signing the rom zip after it's done.
Are you getting errors when deodexing it? Is it failing to deodex ALL files or just some?

Do you need Linux to create a rom or you can do this on windows... i know you can get a virtual box and use linux on windows . But is there people creating roms purely on windows operating systems??

Just use updater-script or update binary extracted from another similiar type of ROM.
Kitchen mods won't work because it uses update-script, and doesn't convert to updater-script properly.
Will likely give a Status 7 error in CWM.
Updater script could be modded manually with notepad ++.
But, you don't really need to change anything in there. except ui_print.

Hi Guys! I am trying to modify the framework-res.apk of my bro's Micromax A70 with PNGs from trettet's CosmicExperia ROM. This Q is abt. A70, but related to P-500, so I think you guys can help me out. I've searched & tried everything, but nothing seems to be working. Its been more than 2 weeks here messing up and I've tried almost EVERYTHING possible and useful I came across.
I replaced those btn_check buttons, radio buttons, zoom in-out buttons, not. icons including battery, Wi-Fi, GPS, data and other such. The point is, I've replaced them accurately, deleted the extra PNGs and the no. of PNGs are same in both original and Modded apk. Moreover I've checked each and every PNG with their names and also, each *.9.png is properly 9-patched...!!!
Here's what I tried to change them:-
First tried APK-multitool, the apk got compiled succesfully, but after replacing it with original one, I am getting crash at the boot up.
Again, i searched for the prob., and got that APK-multitool doesn't seem to work correctly with sys apps and has bugs in compiling process. So I tried apktool(apktool.jar), and manually decompiled apk with commands, made changes and again recompiled, but got the same results.
NOTE:-In both the above cases, i tried unsigned as well as signed apks, also I Zipaligned the signed apk.
For replacing APK:-
I tried creating update.zip, but after flashing, I simply get crash at boot up!!
Next, I tried to include the framework-res.apk in ROM itself. Replaced the framework apk with modded one and again built it with kitchen, flashed it, but that didn't work even...........!!!
Finally, I tried a "reframe.sh" script for replacing apk with the terminal, but no luck still......
NOTE:- I didn't/can't try ADB Push, 'cause i don't have phone with me......
What can be the problem?? Am I missing something?? PLZ. guys help me out, I am really fried up with the F*****ing problems and its all getting REALLY WEIRED here!!! HELP REQUIRED ESPECIALLY FROM DEVS AND THEMERS!!!!!!!
Thanks In Advance.....

the a70 framework is like that a little change makes it stuck at logo or boot loops ...
follow the below method to make it work ...
In apk manager select this settings..
compression level =0
1.first change the images using any tool like apkmanager and recompile it ...
2.now again select the recompiled unsignedframework-res.apk and extract it ...now again using the apkmanager zip the apk ..
3.now zipalign the unsignedunsignedframework-res.apk manually and flash it ..then it will work...

Hi sam, I tried what you said, but when i decompile apk for the first time, and agiain compile it with apk-multitool, the compiled apk contains a "keep" folder in it!! I think it's gone mad!!
This I've seen for the first time! previously, there were always only assets, res, androidmanifest, and metainf files. So i tried apktool.jar manually. It recompiled properly.
Now, i placed the compiled apk in the modding folder of apk-mutitool. first extracted the the apk i.e. option no. 2, and then zip it again, i.e option no.3, right?? but now inside the zipped file, is see this- project\unsignedframewok-res.apk\assets, res, androidmanifest, and metainf , that should be directly in the root of the zip. Also due to this the file doesn't get zipaligned!!!

As far as my experience goes ,you will have to delete the files you modified from the keep folder (if you changed any XML also delete resource.arsec) and continue with the batch script(it will tell u to do so after asking you If you want to copy unchanged files)

Hi
I downloaded a custom rom based on ICS and unzip the file then I add some app.apk to data/app and rezip it.
I tried to run zip in recovery but coudn't.
My question is that, why it didn't work??
Originally is it possible to add app.apk to same folder of a custom rom and then install the rom with my favorite apps??
Thanks for answering me.

You can use 7zip "free download" to modify roms. It allows you to edit the rom without extracting it. Download the program and read the tutorial. Basically when you extract a rom you change the file association and it needs to be resigned. Also when you swap out and or add apps,files,etc you have to edit the update script to reflect the changes. You can google to find out more. This is just my understanding, hope it helps.

If u unzip the file, it will lost it signed properties (something like that) which cause the file not useable. If u need to add or remove apk, just use winrar or 7z and open the file without unzipping it.

So can I create gaming ROM by using this Android Kitchen??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
By Gaming, you mean Fast and No Lags? You could make a rom faster than stock with the Kitchen but this was designed to work with all Devices so its just a basic tool here. For real performance, you need to do device specific tweaks and all so you ought to learn to do it manually

Nothing is like a real gaming rom unless u overclock gpu and give it more ram
Term we(not me) use as gaming Rom is that we keep more ram free and high minfree values so that good amount of ram is available for the game
So I have to do tweaks to make a lag free ROM??

you will have to tweak so as to reduce lag and also get more free RAM which can be used to play games.........
Take a look at OOM Groupings, Dalvik Cache and also tweaking the CFS ( Thunderbolt Script would be an ideal base to start with ) These give the most noticeable improvements

The best way to learn is to download any custom rom, go through the entire thing yourself And take a look at my guide for making cwm flashable zips and you'll be able to understand how things work What you do is open Thunderbolt tweaks zip and go through the files in it and try to understand the code

WARNING: THIS IS NOT FOR THOSE USERS WHO IS SATISFIED WITH G4 THAILAND BUILD.I MYSELF HAD A GREAT WISH TO TRY GENEXT ROM AFTER DOWNGRADING,WHICH ENDED UP IN BOOTING GENEXT
TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK( NOTHING WORSE HAPPENED WITH ME THOUGH)
Simplified Overview
1.Install Kitchen -->http://techjectives.blogspot.in/2014/01/how-to-install-android-kitchen-in_7433.html
2.Get genext e2 flashable via odin(tar file )--->http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/development/rom-gennxt-pre-rooted-stock-t2642555
3.Unpack Rom
4.get sytem folder ,boot img from our genext e2 rom
5.Get meta-info folder from Vandroid rom ( https://db.tt/KN962WEj)
6.Make the rom zip
DETAILED PROCEDURE
> After the genext odin package is downloaded we need to extract it using 7zip.
Move the download to your desktop,Right click on the package and select "Open with 7zip"
After the extraction is complete you will more than likely get an error stating that there is no record at end of archive. This is fine.
Now, for the good. Open the newly extracted folder and find the following three files: boot.img, cache.image.ext4, and system.img.ext4.
We need to move these files to the Kitchen folder labeled "original_update"
Now we need to fire up the kitchen and select option "1 - Set up working folder from ROM" then Enter again, then Enter again, then Enter Again.
At this point the ROM is about 75% extracted and the kitchen will pop up a utility called "Ext2explore" With this utility you will need to open system.img and extract it like the kitchen instructions you to do.

THERE GENEXT ADAVANCED E2 ROM BOOTED FOR ME
You can proceed in the same way for stock e2 firmware too. For stock e2 fm we dont need to flash gapps or secsettings patch.
And if you want you can Deodex Zip Allign Stock E2 with Android kitchen.

From your screenshot I think you are on KitKat now
You should be downgraded to jb before attempting to flash ROM with this method
