Edit compiled source to create own custom ROM - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After a week i finally managed to build a ROM from source. I have in my /out/target/product/angler folder several files incl. the system.img, boot.img etc. etc (see attachments)
But from i have heard i could edit some of those files to build a new ROM from the files which are in that directory. In the early days you had a file there with a tree format of which apps are installed. Editing that file by removing the apps you didn't want anymore resulted in a ROM without those apps. But with the new structure i cant figure out where i need to do that.
Also if someone knows how i can compile from the source in that directory, that would be great. If i would do it with lunch && make it start over again from the original source.

Nobody can help me with this? or am i in the wrong section?

Proprietary Files for no name

Hi,
i want make a cm9 for the flytouch4, but my problem are the Proprietary Files.
How i make self this files.
Please help me and thanks
You can make you're own file to extract the files from the phone/tablet. Ore extract from a rom zip file.
You could make a test rom from cm source without the needed files from the phone. And compaire the rom build with the files on the phone.
Most missing *.so files in lib dir you will need. Check how to build android from source at Google to. If you have a vendor dir you need most files to. If there is a ringtone you really like you can put it in the list. any stock app you like you can put in to. Just start trying
If you have like a telechip tablet like me you take all files that have the name in it to.
check a github to see what type of files are needed. (github.com) type in a phone name and see the build files.

Thanks
You could try and use my guide to make a device tree: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32750507#post32750507
Its not 100% ready yet but still good for a start.
You will need to start with the make files you get from the boot.img and recovery.img.
Than you start making prorietary files with you´re self made scrips. (extract-files.sh)
You could use this github as sample. https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_malata_smb_a1002
best is to find a github you like and use that to make you´re files.

[Q] Porting AOSP ROMS using source

Deleted
(FYI: i could be wrong )
As far as i can tell you compile from google directly as it does not contain specific folders/files that require each device to work.(boot.img,system ect). You need to have a source to copy these off from OR you can write them yourself (which i dont recommend). These files can be copied off github as your source suggests or they can be directly extracted from your phone.

Modifying framework.jar file only in Stock ROM.

Good evening folks,
I just grabbed the stock ROM of my phone (Lenovo A6000plus lollipop) and started tweaking in it. Now I have to change the files located inside framework.jar which is in the system folder. I tried dex decompiler and apk tool for grabbing the source from the jar. But I failed to repack them again into a framework.jar file. I found the same source code in the source.google.com's git repo and I downloaded it. Now how can I create the framework.jar file from the source code itself?
The documentation of AOSP is little hard to understand for a newbie like me. Can anyone properly guide me for the same?
