Hi.
I am trying to build custom rom for Galaxy Note(N7000)
I am trying to build a custom rom with base as stock rom(XXLT5)
I went through some tutorials on XDA, but they were only some basic stuff.
I had lot of questions in mind,and after searching for hours didn't get some help,so posted so maybe some one can help.
I flashed my own rom with some build.prop tweaks and changed wallpaper in framework-res.apk.
But it flashed with no problems.
1] I had lost root but I used Philz kernel(copied all stuff into respective folder)
2]I don't get about the META-INF Folder because I tried to put some s4 mods such as sec.settings.apk,s4 status bar,they also had META-INF but I didn't know what to do with it. I copied the apk of sec.settings into preload /syslink/system/app.
3]When the rom started default-wallpaper didn't changed and any mods didn't applied,so don't know what to do.
Can please any-one say what should I do,and where to put META_INF folder,because all apks aur mods has META_INF folder and will replace every time I put a mod in it.
Please Help Guys.....

What is use of META_INF, if want to replace some system apk,there is a meta inf folder in that too, so If I extract it in rom,so it will replace the META_INF folder in the rom.

I want to create themes for the ROM with the stock base .But I do not know how
sorry for my english
1) Download stock 2.3 system dump
2) Extract "framework-res.apk" located /system/framework & "SemcGenericUxpRes.apk"
3) Open .apk files with WinRAR or any other software
4) Navigate to "res/" and copy extract whole "drawable-hdpi" folder
5) Here you will get thousands of PNGs you can edit, the only PNGs you can't edit is pictures with ".9" in their name
Feel free to ask any questions if you're confused sry for late reply
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.
Gonna let someone else deal with zipaligning, deodexing and all that.

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..

I want to create a flashable .zip file which will update the ROM if I want to modify some contents...........
Plz somebody could help????????
Thanks in advance:good:
Plz if anybody could help?????????
Can you elaborate your question?
Take another rom cwm zip as a base
Change the contents using 7zip
Then change the updater zip carefully according to changes u made using notepad ++
This was in short

Rather than rom zip,take a CWM zip of mods ,place whatever you want in respective folders.
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?
