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..

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.
Gonna let someone else deal with zipaligning, deodexing and all that.

One of many things I lack and will probably always lack.
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!

IIRC, the archive file must be a tar archive containing at least a system.img.

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]

Well that is the problem which I am not to work out yet.. As Dxixda kitchen does not support s3
Best way it to use meta-inf folder from other rom..

Just download other ROM JB 4.1.2 and extract the calculator "apk". You can install it as any app you already installed.

Maybe not.
It could happend that u aren't allowed or can't do this with a "normal" install.
So then just copy the .apk to "system/app" and replace the other one.
Then do a reboot to make let system all load right again and u r done.
CHEERS

I wish your file had the bloatware because I need SlackerRadio from the Xmas leak in order to load into my system\app folder to get the rest of the OTA update that was just released.

Use option #1 on this: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-razr-maxx-only/page__pid__104361#entry104361
That will take you back to 100% Stock with all the original bloatware. Then you can install the update
Can someone please post the latest jelly bean system apps? Ima idiot and deleted a few instead of freezing them.
You can download one of the stock JB ROMs in the development section and extract system/app

Hmmm. It's not hard to flash the firmware again. Backup your apps with titanium backup. Reflash clean firmware and root it. Restore your files again. Then you should be having the My Files application.

Use root explorer. Copy both files in system/app. Paste there. Then search for the files and set correct permission. I just did that. And it worked fine once you reboot the device.
