Hope I've posted in the correct section
Hi guys,
How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.
I'm using a Nexus One btw.
So, could any assist me?
Thanks,
redbullcat
I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.
Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.
Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.

You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

I recently switched roms and lost the Avatar launcher and the Sims 3.apk.
I know you can open Avatar through the gallery but that's not as good for showing off.
Can anyone send me a link to download them, or maybe rip them off your device?.
I really miss them.
There are many ways to solve this.
First, is search the forum.
Second, know something about his, download a stock rom and pull it for yourself.

I am having a similar problem trying to install Avatar. I am running Bionix Final - Sims 3 installs fine, Avatar is a no go. I tried to copy it into /system/app using Root Manager - rebooted and it still does not appear... any ideas?
I don't really know, I'm still a noobie to this android stuff. I just pushed it into system/app/ using ADB, and it worked for me. I'm using fusion 1.1.

Is that Bionix a Froyo build?
I've posted a modified Avatar.apk that looks for the movie in the proper location on Froyo ROMs. It's tested on Onyx ROM, but should work on any Froyo ROM. It's here if anyone still looking for a workaround about this and the apks posted above don't work for you.
On avatar it says application not installed...? Also when I download it where does it download the file?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I get a file not found when launching the avatar apk. I'm running macnut12. Hmmm, maybe I deleted the movie in the internal sd by mistake. Reverting back from a stock froyo (e.g. Eugene's unofficial froyo) through Odin should fix this issue. Am I correct?

Is that directed at me? Do you mean on your phone? Downloads from the web should end up in a folder called Downloads on the internal sdcard. From there copy with root explorer or adb to the proper location (/system/app)
Sims 3
When I had this issue I had lost the entire Sims 3 game and not just the launcher. The second post only includes the launcher apk, so I will attach both. I am only reattaching the launcher just in case the one posted somehow does not work with the launcher posted prior.
FYI - I pulled these from my stock dump I made before I loaded my first custom ROM, and from what I have heard they will work ONLY on the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959 and nothing else.
It may not matter, but I think it is best to install them in order. Also since the max upload on apk (for me at least) is 8Mb and the game is 74Mb I am putting them into an archive first and doing an external link, so you will need 7zip or something similar.

Sims 3 parsing error on samsung vibrant
Can someone help me. I keep getting a parsing error everytime i open my sims 3 on my samsung vibrant.

These are standard APK files. Basically they are Android installer packages. What to do with them or how to install them are basic aspects of using Android. If you plan on using an Android device as anything beyond a basic consumer device you should take the time to understand these basics because putting them here is beyond the scope of this thread.
This should help.
ok so i got it. but now when i use app installer to install the application it says parse error

So do you have a T-mobile Vibrant SGH-T959? It absolutely will not work if you don't.
Did you install both APK files in the correct order for Sims 3?
Are you using a custom ROM? It may not work in all ROMs. If you are using a AOSPish ROM like Macnut I don't know if it will work, because AOSP is built from the (Android Open Source Project) and not from Samsung/T-mobile firmware.
I have only tested this to work on Bionix and Auxra ROMs myself.
I have a samsung vibrant... I am using android 2.2 i have no custom rom installed.. do i need to rename it are something. what is the order of the sims 3 apk. can u list a step by step instruction list on how to do this..

Something is wrong with your statement. Maybe I should have been more explicit in my questions. This only works for US T-mobile Vibrants. It is an exclusive item that was (non-exclusive version now available in the market for $4.99 http://www.appbrain.com/app/the-sims™-3/com.eamobile.sims3_na_qwf) only available on US T-mobile Vibrants. This package only restores Avatar and Sims 3 for those who lost it, it does not provide it to those that should not have it.
Here are the problems with your statement:
You can not be using a stock firmware and also be using 2.2. Sorry you have to pick one as T-mobile has not pushed a OTA 2.2 out yet. This is not for Bell customers or other non United States phones.
There is no reason for you to have lost these packages if you are not running a custom ROM as they are not uninstallable.
So as you can see, there is something very fishy with your story. If you are just confused and not lying about your situation then you are running a custom ROM or you would not have lost these. In this case try re-downloading the files, use the link in my first post (Post #13) and you would have to be really confused to not figure out the order to install because they are numbered. If it can not parse these then either your download is corrupt, you are missing one of the two installs, or phone is not a United States SGS-T959.

i've just noticed your posting in the wrong section of the forum, this section is for the htc hero g2 touch. you may get better help in the correct section.
Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.
bump. can anyone help a guy out??

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Yeah so the apps are in /system/apps/ You can replace them easily, but You have to set good permisions

Can you pull us a logcat and post it here?
I mean, maybe you've included a kernel, or baseband to your build so it can be done on 2 ways:
*well done: ROM works
*not that well: ROM won't work
Aboyt framework and all that stuff, maybe you tried to include a theme, or volume steps, or something like that by an abailable path and it can be making some issue...
About beats, use search engine, there's a how to somewhere here...
About asking here or there, it goes up to u, I think it's here where you should do so because devs and modders are often here and not that much in phone forum (at least talking about myself and friends)

If you don't know what a logcat is then you probably shouldn't be developing roms. And about your question: not easily, no

adb logcat in command prompt with the device plugged in via usb and at the "on state" will get you the log
And it's probably best to some small modding before doing work on heavy stuff

Hey there,
I've just been getting into ROM development and have a Sprint Samsung GNEX (toroplus) and a Google Nexus 7 (grouper). I made an AOSP build of 4.1.1 for my N7 and was using dsixda's ROM Kitchen to add root functionality, busybox, and to change the name of the ROM. I keep getting a "Status 6" error when trying to flash the ROM after building it.
I looked in the FAQ section of the thread and saw that it had to do with incorrect formatting due to using the wrong text editor, but the thing is that I haven't touched Windows while building this, it's all been on Linux.
So after flashing it, I used the "Report Error" function and check the recovery log, looks like there are some syntax errors. Could anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!

You are using an aosp rom. There shouldn't be any reason you need the android kitchen. Go to github.com/cyanogenmod/android_build read the commit history. Should give you some insight with building a better busy box and root. Look up the system su from cyanogenmod ect ect.
