Is it possible for me to cook a personal ROM? I have tried alot of ROMs here but ever since HTC's new official ROM was out (asia) , I find it really good for me. One thing i hate from the ROM compared to cooked roms are that everything is disorganised. Everything is in 1 program file. In cooked Roms, the chefs have already taken the liberty to assign each app to their appropriate folders (apps,connection,multimedia, etc)
I would like to do the same , however it takes alot of time for me to do so but I can manage that. What i really want to do is, after organising the apps to their respected folders, and installing all of my needed softwares on the phone, how do i make a complete backup of the ROM, and then save it on my computer perhaps. So then i could flash my phone with the backup ROM and the next time i were to flash my phone, everything would be there (my apps, my organised folder).
Will it be possible (i'm sure it's possible, i just need the right software / app to do it)
You're going to need a Kitchen to cook your own ROM; assuming you have a Raphael device, have a look at this thread:

Many folks use Da_G's Kitchen ... but there are other great Chefs that have made their Kitchens avalaible.
HTH,
Thank you for the link hilaireg. It's very helpful.
After reading the available tutorials, i have a question. Most of the kitchens are using pre-existing ROMS.
I would like to use a new official HTC ROM to start with. "-HTC Touch Pro-MRII-RUU_Raphael_hTC_Asia_WWE_5.07.707.2_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship"
I noticed that all the tutorial require a .nb file which they say comes in the package. However, when i extracted the .exe file , a few files were extracted alongside a .nbh file. But there is no .nb file. What do i do?

You need to have NBHextract Tool it will be in include in kitchen...me too trying to cook on same build with no results. It's no easy try try that's it...
krish_nank, Is this your first time building a ROM?
If so, we're on the same boat...
I tried using NBHextract Tool but when i run the .exe a pop up cmd window comes out and then dissappears. I added the program manually in cmd, and here is what it says , but it doesn't do anything although i have place my .nbh file in the same folder with it.

If you just want to organize your existing app then all you have to do is go to this folder,
\\\Windows\Start Menu
This folder has all the icons for the programs. So now you can arrange/ rearrange icons, create folder and move the links to the respective folders as you see fit. Total Commander can be used for this.
If you want a way to install apps after installing a new ROM, you can use UC you can read about it here

But if you just want to build custom ROM then the easiest kitchen is Da G's. If you want a fully loaded kitchen try At0mAng - Advance Kitchen - V2

okay, my bad. Then I am sure you have seen the ROM reconstruct thread. Hope that thread helps you.
Have a look at the first three posts in the following thread:
[TUT] Sous-Chef's Guide to Da_G's Simple Kitchen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490787
Essentially, once you unpack the "-HTC Touch Pro-MRII-RUU_Raphael_hTC_Asia_WWE_5.07.707.2_Radio_Signed_R aphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship" executable, you run a script that performs the actions required to prepare the NBH file for custom cooking.
That should get you started.

With my kitchen do this...
Backup the OEM and SYS folder...
If you have the NBH file already place it in the BaseROM folder
If you do not have the NBH file then run the EXE downloaded from HTC, let it go all the way to the first install screen and dont do anything yet, go to your temp folder on the computer, dig around the folders if there are many, you will see ruu_signed.NBH, copy and paste into the BaseROM folder of kitchen.
Once NBH is in the baserom folder start my kitchen
Select 2, 1, 1 and let it do its thing
When extraction is completed and you are back at main menu select option 8, move dumped OEM/SYS from Temp
When that is done select option 6 Copy Extracted ROM XIP from Temp
When that is done your new dumped ROM is ready to be built.
Delete or do not select any duplicate packages
Clean out the new OEM/SYS folders. There is a lot of junk in there that can be removed, welcome folder, do a search in the OEM/SYS folders for *.3gp and remove the welcome movie and blah blah blah...
If you take the time to look at the folder structure of the OEM and SYS folder you should be able to figure it out pretty quickly.
If you need further help you may ask in my kitchen thread.
Hope this is a start for you guys...
nnkumar73, Thank you for your suggestion but i already known about manually doing it from the start menu folder. However it's not practical as , i would have to do it everytime i reflash my phone. If there is a new rom available, and i were to try it and somehow wanted to go back with my older ROM, i would have to do all the moving etc all again.
hilaireg once again, thank you for the link..
At0mAng, Thank you very much as well. I will follow your steps and see how it goes. I appreciate your effort of posting the right steps for it. Thank you.

The easiest way is to use any packer apps like winrar. u can extract the nbh directly. if u r using total commander will be a lot easier. just press ctrl+pg dn & u can extract the file instantly.
Thanks to everyone's help especially At0mAng,
I finally extracted the ROM. I can see aloto of files in SYS and OEM folder.
What i would like to know now is, how do i create folders (icons are not neccessary for the folders) so that i can group installed apps in them according to category? Example is, A multimedia, navigation and games folder is created and , my apps are stored in the folders according to their functions. Like GPS tool goes into navigation and so on..
To simply copy files from \Windows to another directory, you can use an initflashfiles.txt in the OEM. Syntax is:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools"):-File("Enable Proxy.lnk","\Windows\Enable Proxy.lnk")
If you are trying to just place Start Menu items in different folders, it's a bit more complicated. There are many places that this can happen.
1) In \OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat
You can edit this file in Notepad if you remove the ReadOnly bit in Windows. Once you've edited it in Notepad and saved it, you need to re-open it in a Hex editor and delete the first 2 bytes "ff fe". Once you delete those first 2 bytes, save the file and reset the ReadOnly flag. In this file is where I define the Folders I want to use in my "Start Menu" folder like this:
; Start Menu contents
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Programs")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu")ermDir("Settings")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Games")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Navigation")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Internet")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Multimedia")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Office")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Phone")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Tweaks")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Tools")2) *.provxml files
You need to edit these files with a unicode editor. Personally I use EmEditor. You'll notice that in mose packages in \OEM and \SYS there is a _Lang_0409 dir that goes along with it. It's "usually" in this folder where you'll see a *.provxml file. If you open these in EmEditor you'll see that there are lots of file operations. You want to seach or the line containing the *.lnk. In that line you can set the patch of where you'd like the icon installed.
There may be other places that this happens as well, but that's just off the top of my head.
Good Luck!

Somehow, i am not able to find this file , initflashfiles.dat in my OEM_Lang_0409 folder. :?
Do you have Windows Explorer setup to view all system/hidden files? (Tools->Folder Options-->View)
If using a kitchen that supports it (mine does for sure) you can create a new, blank text file in a package folder, initflashfiles.txt
it uses the same format eras2r posted above, but gets appended to initflashfiles.dat during the cooking process
in this manner you can have initflashfiles.dat changed on a per-package basis, it's also easier because you don't have to worry about the first 2 bytes etc.
e.g. \Packages\beer\initflashfiles.txt
When cooking rom check box next to package "beer"
now the contents of \Packages\beer\initflashfiles.txt get appended to initflashfiles.dat automatically during cooking, don't get applied if box is not checked
similarly this initflashfiles.txt can go in any folder in \OEM and \SYS as well
eras2r, yes , it has already been configured to show hidden files & folders
Da_G, i get what you mean, roughly. What you're saying basically is that i can manually create a txt file for initflashfiles and leave it in the packages folder?
Also i am not sure about the syntax that eras2r posted. I find it alittle well above my level of knowledge. Maybe someone can guide / explain to me regarding this?
Right right, an initflashfiles.txt can go in any subfolder under \OEM \SYS or \Packages
You can create the file with notepad, no need to worry about removing things with a hex editor or otherwise using anything other than notepad.
The syntax is as follows:
using this example to create a directory:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Tools")
Directory("\Path\to\create\directory\in\goes\here"):-Directory("Name_Of_Directory_To_create_in_path") - essentially you're saying "Switch to the folder named \Path\to\create\directory\in\goes\here and create a new folder named Name_Of_Directory_To_create_in_path inside of it.
similar syntax to copy a file from one directory to another:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\"):-File("Fieldtest.lnk","\Windows\Fieldtest.lnk")
Directory("\Path\to\copy\file\in\goes\here"):-File("destination_file_name.ext","\source\path\to\filename.ext") - here you're saying "navigate to \Path\to\copy\file\in\goes\here, copy file from source \source\path\to\filename.ext, rename it to destination_file_name.ext when copying (you can use the same filename here if you don't want it renamed, renaming is useful for files that might be indexed by windows media player, or the windows help system, etc.
That should clear it up a bit, let me know if it doesnt
Hi, is it possible to just deodex one apk or do you have to do an entire ROM?
Basically I have a 'Rosie.apk' and 'Rosie.odex', but want to deodex it so I can get to the 'classes.dex' file. Can someone let me know how I might go about this?
Try apktool? Might be Linux only, can't remember sorry.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Have successfully done what I wanted now
For info, this is what I did.
Created a new folder called 'system' in c:\android-sdk\tools. Obtained the odexed framework folder and placed that in the system folder. Then created a folder called app in the system folder and placed the Rosie.apk and Rosie.odex inside.
Then via cmd, entered the 'system/app' folder, so for me it was...
c:\android-sdk\tools\system\app
From there I ran the following command to end of that path: baksmali.jar -d ../framework -x Rosie.odex
This produced an out folder will all the decompiled .smali files etc. From there I was able to get to the Launcher.smali that i wanted, but to recompile to a classes.dex file you simply run the following command: smali.jar out
This produces an 'out.dex' that you can rename to 'classes.dex'
I am sure there are other commands that you can use to name files accordingly etc but this is what worked for me for what I wanted, so hopefully it will be of some help to people... if they can understand anything I've written.

If I needed to, how can I recompile back to Rosie.odex (for example). Do I just rename the out.dex file to Rosie.odex or is there another step to get it back to the original version. Here is why I am asking...I wanted to change a few lines in a file in the services.odex file. I deodexed it with the method explained above and now I want to put that file back on my device. Am I going about this the wrong way? Do I need to follow a different process to get it back to the services.odex file?
Thanks.
Could somebody possibly deodex this apk file for me, Ive been at it all day...

this is gonna sounds stupid but i followed every step but i cant seem to get the file to be only ApplyRecovery.bat, thats how i named the files but it does only open notepad....like if it was reading ApplyRecovery.bat.txt
Step 5: create a text file using notepad, called ApplyRecovery.bat. Make sure it is not named "ApplyRecovery.bat.txt" . It will contain the following lines (copy/paste is fine)
i did it finally
For future reference, it might help others if you explained how you solved your problem. For example, given this issue where the file is opening in notepad, one of the following possibilities is apparent:
1. When saving the file, you did not enclose the file name in quotes, e.g. "ApplyRecovery.bat". Enclosing the file name in quotes overrides the automatic generation of extensions and saves the file exactly as you wish.
2. Batch files, files ending in .bat, were set to open in notepad instead of being ran when double-clicked. This would by necessity require you to delete the file association before the batch file would work.
INTRODUCTION
HI GUYS..!
Though there are many threads explaining about the set up of android kitchen and deodexing roms...i found it a bit confusing,as most of the threads take you to different threads which again explain the steps in detail,most of which though informative is unnecessary as they are General threads .. so,TODAY i will be explaining simple step by step procedures from setting up cygwin to doedexing a rom for our devices...
THIS THREAD IS FOR L3 BUT SHOULD WORK ON L5 AND L7 ALSO ( for extracting &deoxing-Only First generation ie; L3,L5&L7..Not for L3 II,L5 II, L7 II ,but the method for android kitchen is common for both generations)
THINGS NEEDED(DOWNLOADS)
1.JAVA- download here http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

STEP 7- EXTRACTING THE KDZ FILE(For custom odexed roms proceed to STEP 9)
(For the users who don't know about the .kdz , it is the file format for the stock lg rom firmwares,...to download the kdz files goto-
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=11 and download the firmware that suits you accordingly...im using v10k open eupore )
1.open the folder u extracted from my rar file
2.rightclick on lgextract LGExtract-0.2.1 and select extract here
3.copy the .Kdz to the extracted folder
4.type
Code:
LGExtract.exe -kdz V10X_xx.kdz
(wherein "v10X_xx " stands for the version of kdz u want to extract eg v10k_00)
5. you should end up with three files a .dz file ,a .dll file and a .cab file ( eg DZ_LGE400AT-00-V10k-EUR-XXX-AUG-08-2012+0.dz ; QCT_E400_20120703.dll and V10k_00.cab

STEP 8-EXTRACTING THE ..DZ FILE
1.open the folder that u extracted from my rar file
2. rightclick on the DZDecrypter_v0.5.rar file and select extract here.... do the same for the DZDecrypter_v1.0b.rar file
3. now "copy" the .dz file into both extracted folders
4. open the extracted DZDecrypter_0.5 folder and type
Code:
DZDecrypt.exe LGE610AT-xx-VxxX-XX-XXX-xx-xx-20xx+x.dz
wherein "LGE610AT-xx-VxxX-XX-XXX-xx-xx-20xx+x.dz" is name of the .dz file
5. open the extracted DZDecrypter_v1.0b and do the same
6. now what we need is the boot.img ;recovery.img and system.img
7.make a new folder
8.to get the boot.img and recovery.img go to the DZDecrypter_v0.5 folder and copy the two files to a folder u created
9.to get system.img go to the DZDecrypter_v1.0b folder and find the file named system.img.ext4
10. just rename it to system.img and copy it to the folder u created
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
STEP 9- EXTRACTING THE SYSTEM.IMG and deodexing the System Files
(FOR CUSTOM ROMS CREATE A FOLDER IN C:\cygwin\home\your_user-name\kitchen\ AND NAME IT "WORKING_090313_013348" AND COPY THE META-INF;SYSTEM AND BOOT.IMG INTO IT AND OPEN THE KITCHEN MENU AND FOLLOW FROM THE11TH STEP )

10. press enter to continue
11.select option 0 (advanced options)
12.select 11 deodex files in your rom
13.select v and change API LEVEL to 10(this is for gingerbread rom ie 2.3.x for other rom select accrdly)
14.select b deodex both folders ( sometimes u can get errors for few apks to resolve that delete the apks in the location below in system/app ...you have to delete both the .apk and .odex ; PS:don't delete the others they are deodexed...!)
15.press enter
16. view the contents of the folder navigate to C:\cygwin\home\your_user-name\kitchen\WORKING_xxxxxx_xxxxxx u'll find the deodexed apks in system\apps
17.now u can make changes to the file.

This method is only for first generation of L series. You tried to extract dz of P710 (L7 II) so obviously it won't work.

I have ask for more help and no answer until now.
So I found this thread i'm asking if there is a way two extract this two apps and install it on my phone with the pacman rom?

Weird, AndroidManifest.xml is supposed to be decoded. The fact that it remains in the original folder is weird, did you try doing it with apktool only ? (With apk easy tool)
Super simple, just install apktool (if not already installed and working without apk easy tool)
To test if it's working without APK easy tool open a command prompt and enter "apktool --version", if it returns something, then it's good, if not, you're good to set it up yourself in a separate folder, here is the guide from the apktool website: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/
Enter the command "apktool d [name of the apk].apk" to decompile your apk, you should have everything.
And if you don't want to bother your with all of that, I can decompile the APK for you and send you the AndroidManifest.xml file decompiled.
Have a good day

Thanks for your reply, I have tried to decompile that apk by your way but file AndroidManifest.xml in folder ...original\AndroidManifest still be encoded. Can you help me decode it as you said that ?
Link down this apk :drive.google.com/file/d/18HjRivgkNjixCdO823CJD2mxLxr6QuEQ/view?usp=sharing .Remember that I need to decode file AndroidManifest.xml in folder original which contains both of folder META-INF

That's a huge apk, what is it? 1,2 Gb I've never seen that before. I'll just send you here the AndroidManifest.xml text. You'll then have to copy/past it into a text editor, and rename the file "AndroidManifest.xml".
Edit #1: I can't even decode the APK, can you tell me what is this file and where you got it from ? The apk file size limit is 100MB , what is this file ?
Edit #2 : Usually the AndroidManifest.xml isn't encoded at all, you just have to browse the APK with a zip explorer to find this file and read it. I personally won't do that as this file is very suspicious... 1,3 Gb for an APK... Apktool doesn't recognize it... This is really weird, I recommend you just to trash it.

To decode a binary AndroidManifest.xml file you use axmldec: Android Binary XML Decoder.
