I do not know if you could help. Took three days trying to extract a rom in. Img. I have not been able to and want to work on it to fix several bugs, but not knowing extract can not begin to work on. I leave here the link to see if someone can lend a hand. If someone could extract it and it would be decompiled pasarmela thanks giving for years.

Do not tell me to use a. Zip because it is not possible because the tablet does not support it.
Sorry for my bad English
I hope you can help
A greeting and thanks

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial....worked first try!
Wow, I have never seen rooting of anything so well explained.
I mean, even I may be able to do it, if I can figure out the gain over potential risk if I screw it up.
Thanks for the great write-up!

Forgot this thread was here. Anyway I just copied and pasted my last post in the Dev forum to here so a mod can just delete it.

Im on my phone right now, but you can do some editing of colors and images, which isnt too hard. You have to find the .edj files, use edje_decc to decompile them, you will end up with a edc file and a build.sh file to recompile.
Pretty much what i've found is we will not see custom watch faces on the lockscreen, till Samsung allows us. I have figured out some ways to customize the default digital time lock screen.
If you change any of the api permissions in the xml files make sure to update smack as it will reject it.
Ive been able to pull packages using Sdb. For instance I pulled, /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-contacts2, which has some images that are decompiled, like home screen icons. So I havent actually decompiled anything. Sdb pulls all of the folders and signatures. If I wanted to edit a couple of images then push it back to my watch, how would that be done?
For those that do not know what the directory structure looks like, as I asked in my previous post, download DiskInternals Linux viewer
http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ Open the program and browse to rootfs.img file of Cipherswitch and mount the image. It allows you to view the files on the image.
What exactly is Flora? I thought all linux distros were open source. Isnt Tizen based on Linux?

@ooms ya, when I pulled that particular app, it came in folders. Now that I think about it, its just a usr folder. I was hoping to theme the whole os.

So digging around, in the contact app folder in res/edje you have 4 .edj files you will need to decompile using edje_decc and edit then recompile.
Flora = http://floralicense.org/
So all the system apps in the source are already pre-compiled, there are some .h files that refer to the apps and "distributor" level api's but no .c files.
So till they release the source can't do too much custom stuff. Kind of like how they release the source of the Note boot loader but it's worthless because it's locked with proprietary information that they won't release.
Just the other way around.

Following the Gear S thread... quick question for another device...
@Cipher,
First of all, great thread, I've been following only for a couple hours and I've read every post from the last month or so (starting when it was posted by someone else and taken over by you in this thread) I'm excited to get started on rooting my Gear S.
On another note altogether though, I was wondering if you knew of a resource where I could get info on rooting the Galaxy S4, AND Galaxy S4 active. I'm currently trying to root both to work with DoCoMo here in Japan and I've read some success stories but have had no luck myself. I'm fairly versed in Linux, Android, and some rooting experience with other devices but I can't seem to get these ones to cooperate.
I've tried the "TowelRoot" and the other vairiant from Geohot with no success. I just finished my 7th attempt with the Kingo root, again, no success. Both Galaxy phones are running 4.4.2. One is the "active" variant, and one is straight up S4. I'm ultimately trying to get all my devices to work on the DoCoMo network here in Japan and I know I can do it with the right resources. Any help you can provide is GREATLY appreciated. Please feel free to email me if you have the time. Keep in mind we are 15 hours or so ahead of you guys so it may take me a minute to respond. Thanks again, I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi great peeps,
So I started moding, (Disclaimer: I am like noob in this field), more specifically porting stock apps, have already ported Sony mail. Now I was thinking to port my beloved vendor LG's apps. But unfortunately, I don't have access to any LG device, sad life.
Please send me, framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk if possible.
Thanks

Just download the firmware for the device you used and extract those files from it...
Actually I wanted to port apps, that's why I needed it, but thank you.
Can I mount it in some virtual machine.
Actually I got them from g8 rom, still wondering is that's possible
