How to Customize Your Own ROM - Newbie Level

KHandroid

ROM Customization - Newbie Level 1.0

Make sure you have the latest archive program like WinRar or 7zip installed

1. Open your ROM zip file with your favorite archive software
2. Mostly inside it you see two folder, system folder and META-INF folder
3. We will mostly work on system folder for now
4. Open system folder, inside it you will see lots of folders
5. Add and Remove Apps
6. Go into app folder, this is the folder that contain all the system app
7. If you don't like some app, you can just delete it but make sure you that it is safe to remove that app, mostly I remove wallpaper apk, add-on apk like terminal, file explorer, and other stuffs
8. For adding app, make sure that apk is the app that is very important that it should be in the system, the thing is you can't uninstall system apk so it is nice to keep app like file explorer, link2sd, diskusage, and so on.
9. 
   
10. Make the ROM yours
11. This time we will add our name in the ROM that will be display in the System app about page
12. Again inside system folder drag build.prop file into a folder and then open it with any notepad (Notepad++ is recommended)
13. Edit > Search to find the following line:
14. ro.modversion: this is the mod version of the ROM, customize it the way you want. EX: ro.modversion={Your Name}_Best_ROM_v2.0 (No space allow)
15. Fake your ROM into the latest Android version :D
16. find ro.build.version.release: change it to for example, 4.2.0 that is the latest JellyBean as of now. EX: ro.build.version.release=4.2.0
17. There are many other customization inside that file you can do, just search for it ;)
18. After you are satisfied, save it and drag the updated build.prop back into the zip overwritting the old build.prop

Enable Normal/User App When Flashing ROM

1.  create data folder in the root of the zip file, so you have 3 folders now \data\, \system\, and \META-ING\.
2. Now navigate to META-INF\com\google\android and drag out updater-script file into a folder
3. Open it with any notepad (Notepad++ recommanded)
4. Copy the following code into your updater-script after this line code "package_extract_dir("system", "/system");"

format("yaffs2", "MTD", "userdata");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "userdata", "/data");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm(1000, 1000, 0771, "/data");
set_perm_recursive(1000, 1000, 0771, 0644, "/data/app");

1.  Save it and drag the updated updater-script back into the zip ovewriting the old updater-script

KHandroid
Android App Khmer Translation Guide 2.0

I'm writing this to support Khmer Language, as more people know how to translate apk into their language. We will have more and more app in our language faster. And I also have time to do some other important stuffs too :D hehehe

 Instruction:

1. Download APK Multi-Tool - Download - Make sure to download the frameworks zip too.
   
2. Copy downloaded files to ur prefered location and make sure to unzip it with 7zip - Download
   
3. Select both zip file and right click on it, then choose Extract here, you will get APK-Multi-Tool folder and many framework files.
   
   
   
4. Copy framework-res_api16.apk into APK-Multi-Tools/other folder and rename it to framework-res.apk
   
   
   
5. Inside APK-Multi-Tool folder run Setup.bat, then type 2 then Enter to setup framework-res file.
   
   
   
6. Type 1 to install framework-res.apk, it will install the framework and auto close the windows
   
   
   
7. Reopen Setup.bat and type in 3 to setup all the folder that you will working on.
   
   
   
8. Everything is done, first thing to do is copy the apk you want to mod into the place-apk-here-for-modding folder
   
9. Run Script.bat then Enter, you will be welcome with lots of options to choose.
   
10. First stop, always set ur current working project. Type 24 you will see a list of apk u copy earlier
    
11. Choose the apk you want to work on according to the number in the list
    
12. Type 9 to decompile it :D this will take some times, so sit back and relax, after it is finished move to the next step
    
13. Find project folder inside APK-Multi-Tool folder, project folder will contain all the decompiled project
    Ex: Apk-Multi-Tool\project\com.facebook.katana\
    
14. Go into your app project folder. then navigate to \res\values\ and find string.xml
    
15. Download Notepad++ Download
1. Install Notepad++ then right click on string.xml then choose "Edit with "Notepad++"
2. In Notepad++ the text that is highlighted with black color, the text you need to translate.
3. Just translate all the black text into your language. Take whole day sometimes :D
   
16. Alternatively, you can create another values folder for your language too
    
17. Ex: for Khmer language create values-km folder, or for Chinese create values-cn and so on according to your language code
    and then copy string.xml from \res\values\ into your new values-xx folder
    
18. Begin translate string.xml in your new values-km or values-cn folder etc :D it takes some time so be patience with it
    
19. ONE COOL TRICK :D you can translate that string file easier and fast with Google Translator Toolkit.
    Just click upload and choose the string.xml you want it to translate and upload it, unfortunately no Khmer yet :(

• After finished all strings, go back to Script.bat cmd windows

1. Choose 11 to compile it back if it is a System apk or choose 12 to compile it if it is normal apk/user apk, this will take double the time of decoding :D wait for it don't worry, if got error look at the log file
2. After finish encoding make sure to Choose 13 to sign it back :D (for non-System apk only)
3. And you are done find your final apk in the put-apk-here-for-modding folder with the singed prefix in the start of the file name.

• all question about this are Welcome through comment here or by email.
