download an other custom rom and modify it:
add/remove apps
change theme
modify apps (change the icons..etc)
modify framework-res.apk
add tweaks
and any other things you want
I Think that we do not need more rom developer, with owain and slade we got enough, maybe yoou should study about kernel development, thats what we need , im already studying kernels too

Download some custom rom (CM7, CM6, slade's rom or owain's rom) and check in, \META-INF\com\google\android\Update-script, what its inside this file, this will be damn useful for you
EDIT: BTW, check permissions

messing in the rom is modding,
try to port a rom close to our hardware like wildefire/legend htc sense
play with libs.
for developing get cyanogenmod/floyo or some other source and set it up and try to compile.
ServerBoost100, you are saying that you want to be a developer, but you ask for every step here. Maybe do your own job and study something, not only
ok, i have (...), what now?

I was wondering if somebody would be able to help me write an updater-script for the rom I've port for my Amaze. I try to flash it in CWM but I always get a (status 6) error. So if there is someone that would be willing to take my zip and create a functioning updater script or help me create one I would be very happy. I have a log file from Rom Manager if that helps. If you're interested in helping, reply here and I'll pm you or something.
Ill have a look if you want. Cant promise anything but ive done a bit of work with updater scripts

yep
Script. It's spelled "script"!!! j/k
Look up the kitchen on here. It does that as one of the features and does it very well. I believe it was called just "kitchen". I may have the name a little off but hopefully this get you going. Also, it's main purpose is building roms, etc, but it does do the feature you need!

just give me the updater script. file
here it is thanks
There is no mount and unmout cmd's in the script..
Well iam on phone now...
Simple solution for u is to use any any existing mod's meta-inf folder in ur mod.
Sent from my SK17i using XDA Premium HD app
Have a look at a working updater-script and you will see a huge difference
For example you need a command like
Code:
extract_dir
More set perms and mounting/unmounting system. Please check out a "real" updater-script :good:

Try download some flashable zips and view updater scripts with notepad++
This is the best way to understand how it works.

This is a development plan of porting AsusCamera.apk.
Coz I like the function of PixelMaster so much.
I have decompiled and sign for the apk now.
And it is able to be installed.
But worst of all, it can not be opened...
Now I hope anyone can help me to do this.
If this thread is not suitable for this category, hope manager can move it to the correct one.

You need to find all the library files, permissions and maybe some binaries for the apk..

I would recommend taking a look at this guide on "How to Port OEM Apps / Vendor Apps to Your Current ROM" as a great starting place for starting to get the app to work.

Thank u for your advices.
U mean the path "/system/lib", right?
I have found 4 files (below) which contain "camera" in their names, but just have no idea to add into apk file.
Is there any possibility to the files that don't contain "camera", but are relative to the camera?

Once you find out the dependent files (Re-read the guide) you take these files and package them in CWM flashable .zip not necessarily adding them into the apk file.

Yes system/lib.. you can transfer them via recovery too instead of making a flash able zip..
Yes there are possibilities that there will be files without the name camera in them.. but that's what logs are for

Well, I almost give up this project...
I had asked my friend, he gave the following attachment to me.
It can just open, but all of the special functions like PixelMaster & GIF recording are all broken.
I guess it may be related to hardware issues...

Oh man, I would love to be able to get the PixelMaster app back on my Zenfone 2 (I'm running Cyanogenmod 12). The default Google camera sucks horribly compared to the stock ASUS camera app.
Has there been any more work on this project? I'm gonna read that guide myself and work on it, but I guess I'd have to put the stock ROM back on my phone first.

If you install the apk on the zf2 with cm12 it works. Only issue I've found is the depth of field doesn't work

Oh, really? That's kinda nice, although yeah the depth-of-field working would sure be nice. I'll have to try it out tonight. I can just use the .apk from the OP, correct?
Well I tried installing that .apk from the OP. Had to allow installation from unknown sources first, then after hitting Install, it asked me to give Google permission to send data and whatever else. Regardless if I select Accept or Decline, I always get an "App not installed" message.
Damnit, I was looking forward to using it! I think I'm gonna try stripping it from the stock ROM myself.

Alrighty, thanks. I actually was searching for PixelMaster .apk this weekend but didn't have much luck besides seeing a ton of frickin spam sites masking as legit .apk download sites. I'll do another search tonight.
Hopefully I can get the .apk to install. It sure would be nice to have the depth-of-field working, but after skimming through that thread linked earlier (How to Port OEM Apps to Your Current ROM) there's no way I can follow that. It's nice the guy put together a guide, but being unfamiliar with this stuff I need to follow something written in clear English.
I guess the ASUS Camera app was easier to find than I thought. The first time I tried it was nothing but spam site after spam site. Maybe it was Bing's fault, haha.
But I got version 2.0.0.150805_5 and it installed with no problem and works great. Thanks for your help, ejames2001, I appreciate it.
