Root Please help me making a rom flashable to cwm

I am assuming you are using a windows computer

Download and install Notepad ++
Notepad++ Home

Download my new beta4d CM7


unzip it somewhere on your computer


go into the folder META-INF\com\google\android folder

there is 2 files in there
update-binary
updater-script

DO NOT MESS WITH THE UPDATE-BINARY IF YOU USE AN UPDATE BINARY FOR A DIFFERENT PHONE YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK THE PHONE


right click on the update-script and choose edit with notepad ++

and you should see this

Code:

When you flash a CWM zip file this is what runs and the update-binary tell the script the locations of the partitions and there sizes, that is why you dont use another phones update binary


looking at this script it is pretty obvious what it is doing

it unmounts 3 paritions, formats them, mounts system partition

it then extracts the /system folder from the zip file onto the /system partition

it then creates symlinks ( the symlinks are like windows short cuts kind of)

it then sets permissions on files

extracts the boot.img to /tmp and them writes it to the boot partition




The contents of the system folder in the zip file is your ROM

it contains the app framework lib and many other important folders and files



Like I said download my beta4d zip file and look at the contents

once you study it for a while you will start to understand

here is the update script that CM7 generates before I mod it

if you wanted the the flashable zip to copy files to the data partition what are all the changed you would have to make


but keeping the apps on the data partiton is not a good idea because if you do a factory wipe the data partition gets formatted

that is why your apps are disapearing on your rom

the system partition does not get a formatted on factory wipe

that is why you want your apk files in the /system/app folder

normally when linux symlink files get copied to a windows computer they get corrupted and dont work

that is why it is good that the script in my rom creates them for you

so you should be able to unzip the rom make your changes re-zip it

and it should work


I have given you enough to digest for now

I will wait for you to ask questions

creating cwm flashable zip CDs - Google Search
I said RESEARCH not BEG TO BE SPOON FED THE ANSWER


I can't f'n believe he made this thread for this.
Asking questions is what are forums are for and how you learn. Dumbest question is the one not asked.

I know google is great for alot of things and maybe even for this question, but with android dev'ing, alot of times the answers are just not out there as there are ALOT of Devs who feel they are above sharing info and/or helping others learn to be dev's or better devs.

Remember your comments here next time you are needing help. ;)

I totally agree, but only after you have attempted to acquire the knowledge first. There are many detailed instructions in several places. I was just frustrated that this was his immediate response to my suggestion to do some research. it just seems like he us waiting for everyone else to finish his ROM.

How do you know you needed help? You didn't even try first, man. I suggested researching it and less than 5 min later you made this thread. I'm all for helping, but at least give it the ol' college try before having the info fed to you.

also I find that (at least, in my case) I retain the knowledge better by figuring it out and reading about it them jjust reading a step by step. because then you know WHY.and HOW it works, not just how to make it, or use it.
please don't take my comments as negative, while I may respond out of frustration sometimes, I really do mean good. I'm not even a 'dev' (atleast not good enough to release something publicly) but just out of curiosity I've ripped most/if not all mods for this phone and several others apart just to see what is inside, in hopes of understanding. If I don't understand, I use the 'search this thread' button, if still unclear, I use google, and when I've exhausted all those options THEN I ask for help.

Hroark has a good idea,(go figure, lol) compare his script (in his installer) to the original he posted note the changes, and try to understand why they were made.

Thank you so much

I want you to answer my questions in post 7 and 8

If you dont answer my questions I will not help you anymore, with anything

Not a rush but once you figure it out on your own, with out help from anyone else, I want the questions answered

There are enough clues in my post for you to figure out how to make the the mods
