I want to reprogram my camera button to be power button.
can somebody make a custom rom for vivo y91 mediatek, cyanogenmod or pixel experience etc. Please any developers..
I think it is hard-coded into the device as it runs before the kernel does. I don't think it's possible but hey...

Please help,how to change Icon Grid on Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime G530H with OS Touchwiz Lollipop( Nameless J5 Rom) the icon is too small and the grid is 5x5 i want to make it to 4x5,anyone know???
Building a rom for that would be overkill. You would probably be best either to ask your question in a device specific thread/forum OR simply switch your Launcher application to one that has the feature already built.
Sponsoring a rom from a real dev
Is there a way to find a developper to make a lineage ROM for my device ?
I've not the skills and the time to do it, but I would sponsor somebody, that could do the job and give it back for the community... Any Idea how to do it, who could do it ?

Special Thanks to -
Who is this tutorial for?
Tools Required : (Update them manually and report me dead links please)
Step one: Installing the JAVA JDK, Cygwin and Setting up the Kitchen.
*Before you do anything install the java jdk*
INSTRUCTIONS
- Download and extract the cygwin_packages.zip
- Run the set up(make sure there is no previous cygwin installation)
NOTE: INSTALL CYGWIN IN ROOT DISK LIKE C:\
- Follow the kitchen read me txt!!!
- local package directory *must* be the path to the cygwin_packages folder that you just extracted
- when it shows all the package names, go to the top and select "all default" until it changes to "all install" (you must click on the arrows)
- Download the kitchen from above. Then, extract the kitchen's .zip file to a folder under your home account. Rename the dsixda-android-kitchen-*** folder to just "kitchen". In Cygwin, this folder would depend on what was set for your Cygwin install directory, e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen
NOTE!! If your user folder contains spaces (e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John Smith\kitchen), then the kitchen will not function properly. Instead, copy it under C:\cygwin\home\kitchen. - Now your ready to run the kitchen type:
If you did things right you should see this:
congratulations!!
544Step Four: repackage the rom
- AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ALL CHANGE/MODIFICATION YOU WANTED OPEN CYGWIN AGAIN AND TYPE
now convert update script to updater script(in option 23)
- now lets edit updater script(optional)
the updater-script basically tells CWM what steps to take during the installation(flashing rom).
If you don't have any experience please don't edit anything other than what is in this simple tutorial.
TO EDIT UPDATER SCRIPT -
1.Go to META-INF/com/google/android
2.Open the updater-scrip file with Notepad++
3.Any text that would appear during the CWM install should be in this format :
Code:ui_print("Put your text in HERE");
Add your text start at top and save,
then replace with new updater-scrip
IF YOU GET ANY ERROR YOU CAN COMPARE YOUR UPDATER SCRIPT WITH MINE (attached in 1st post)
NOTE: DO NOT COPY WHOLE UPDATER SCRIPT JUST EDIT PART WHERE YOU GET ANY ERROR...
most common errors will be in mount, remount part in starting and end and boot.img installing part... so replace only those lines....
AND AT LAST
[*]Now that you have made some changes it's time to pack the rom and test!!
- Run the cygwin and type
- enter option 99 - "biuld rom from working folder"
- Choose your build option and few more enters
I recommend that you go with all default options until you get more experience with the kitchen. - When rom is packed and signed it will ask to change rom zip name (type name of your rom)
- When its all done you will find a folder inside "cygwin/home/yousername/kitchen" called output_zip
- Inside the folder is your new rom ready to be flashed and tested!!!
IF YOU WANT THAN YOU CAN MAKE CWM FLASH ABLE ZIP'S MANUALLY USE THIS TOOL BY I.AM.H3RO
congratulations you have build your own rom
- Run the cygwin and type
- TROUBLESHOOTING (by hell_lock)
- If you are facing java related problem with cygwin than refer to this post. and Google search
- If you get problems in installing a rom then compare your updater-script in META-INF folder with one attached in first post.
- If you have a rom without kernel then remove these lines:
NOTE: mmcblk0p8 can be different with different devices... this works fine with galaxy ace plus...Code:assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"), write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"), delete("/tmp/boot.img")); - If there is a package error then extract the files of the rom and repack them using any compression software.
- If rom installed correctly but stuck onto logo screen?? Then remove try removing kernel and flashing rom again.
- If rom installed correctly but got onto bootloop then there could be many possibilities which could lead to this. If you want accurate cause of it then do a logcat.
- If there are some apk's which are not working then check if you correctly modded them.
- For status errors like status error 0, status error 6, status error 7 see this guide by Tha TechnoCrat and for rest go here and type your error.
NOTE: Most of the problems occur because of updater-script problems so before trying any of the troubleshooting try the first tip.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS FEEL FREE TO POST HERE OR PERSONAL MESSAGE ME.
331Step Two: Setting up a working folder
THERE ARE TOW METHODS FOR THIS.
1. WHEN YOU HAVE BASE ROM AVAILABLE.
2. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE BASE ROM.
FIRST METHOD -
- First our folder structure should look like this:
Code:cygwin folder/home/your user name/kitchen - Inside the kitchen it should look like this:
- Now we need a rom to work on, for GALAXY ACE PLUS[s7500] users i will recommend this rom by blackburner but you can use any rom.
Just Place the original rom zip in the original_update folder inside the kitchen. - run the cygwin.exe again type:
Code:cd kitchen(enter) ./menu(enter) - now enter option 1, enter again. You should see your rom listed, choose and enter
you will be asked about changing the working folders name, at this point it makes no difference so just continue. - congratulations you have a working folder!!!
SECOND METHOD - this method is by neroyoung
FIRST MAKE A WORKING FOLDER IN CYGWIN FOLDER
NOTE: FOR THIS MEETHOD WE NEED 3 FILES AND FOLDERS TO BE PLACED IN WORKING FOLDER.
1. META-INF FOLDER - GET THIS FROM DOWNLOAD FILES LIST IN FIRST POST
2. SYSTEM FOLDER - TUTORIAL BELOW
3. BOOT.IMG - TUTORIAL BELOW
2. getting system folder
(NOTE - YOU MUST BE ROOTED FOR THIS MEDHOD)
- This is universal method and can be done easily using terminal emulator.
For this simply download Terminal Emulator from Android Market.
we need freshly flashed device here. OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE LOT OF JUNK FILES. - Open it and type:
This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar
This will take some time to finish so be patient. - After it's done you should have a tar file in your /sdcard named system.tar
You can extract it using Winrar or 7zip software. But yes this will have huge size , as it has other useless folders so you will have to delete them. After extracting this system.tar file you will get following folders (Similar one)
Now simply delete the folders marked in red color and its done.Don't worry if you don't have folders with red colors above,we don't need them. - And the final files that we will have in our system folders will be
If it dont have semc folder no need to worry.
NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO GET THIS SYSTEM FOLDER BY USING ANY ROOT BROWSER. JUST FIND THIS FOLDER AND COPY/EXTRACT TO SDCARD
- NOW COPY THIS system FOLDER TO WORKING FOLDER
3. getting boot.img
Here we have 2 options
1. stock boot.img from stock rom - simple kernel which we get in brand new mobile.
2. custom boot.img from custom kernel - kernel which are modified for overclock or other features
304Step Three :change/modify/update rom
YOU CAN MODIFY YOUR ROM IN TWO STEPS:
- MODIFY USING ANDROID KITCHEN - for basic modification.
- MODIFY MANUALLY. - for advanced modification.
1. MODIFYING USING ANDROID KITCHEN
2. MODIFYING MANUALLY.
FOR ALL ANDROID PHONES (ESPECIALLY FOR GINGERBREAD ROMS) USE THIS GUIDE FOR COOL MODS. like center clock,CRT animation, ics and jelly bean style mods etc... ANOTHER GUIDE BY ME
- Adding/removing applications
1. Go to the working folder where you extracted your rom, inside you will find:
OR
2. Then go to "system/app" inside this folder you will find all the rom applications(apks) you may also find some in the data folder if your rom has this folder.
3. Copy, replace, and change any app(apk) be carefull if you dont know what the apk is do not delete!!
LIST OF APPS YOU CAN DELETE - HERE OR HERE
If you can not find some apps in this guide then try opening all those app in your phone and see app name and icon or move those apps from system/app to sdcard and see what is not working...
- Adding new boot animation
android kitchen doesn't works for this in Samsung phones. So we need a different method.
1) Download and extract the bootanimation and samsungani file from Custom Booting.zip attached in first post.
2) Put them in the /system/bin folder and replace the existing files there
3) Now download any boot animation, and rename the bootanimation to “sanim.zip”.
4) Now, navigate to /system/media and replace the “ODEanim” with “sanim.zip”
You are done with the bootanimation change
- customizing the theme
1. replace stock launcher with launchers like nova launcher
2. theming using uot kitchen (fonts, status bar, batery and other icons etc - Edit the gps script for your country/location
1. In the workingfolder/system/etc/ you will find a file named gps.conf, you can
edit this file with notepad++ or even word.
2. using the right gps script in this file can speed up gps lock, you can
find some from angeldeath, download extract and replace the gps.conf.
- Adding ringtones :
- Take your ringtone file...it should be in .ogg format..If not then convert it to .ogg..
- Locate to the folder system>media>audio>ringtones>
- Copy and paste your .ogg files here in ringtones folder..
- You can also change notifications, alarm and UI tones like this..
- Changing the Fonts :
- Take your desired font.ttf file and rename it as DroidSans.ttf..
- Locate to the folder system>fonts>
- Now, replace the file DroidSans.ttf with your desired DoridSans.ttf...
- To change the lock screen clock font...replace the Clocktopia.ttf with your desired one..(rename first)..
- build.prop tweaks!!
check this or this or this post for build.prop
NOTE: EDIT BUILD.PROP WITH NOTEPAD++. SIMPLE NOTEPAD WILL CORRUPT THE FILE.
- adding mods and scripts...
download mods and scripts from links below and copy past all files in same folder as your rom... like for init.d scripts add them to system/etc/init.d/here and all permissions in updater script to your updater script...(dont forget to give them credit for it...)
