How do I import a ROM into the kitchen to use as my base?
From a shipped ROM:
First, find the shipped ROM for your device, usually from htc.com or from searching xda-developers (check the Wiki or sticky posts under your device's sub-forum).
This link may help: Various devices
Please don't ask me for links, as I don't know everything or own all devices. ;-)
The shipped ROM can be found in three different formats. Identify the type you have downloaded:
If the shipped ROM is in a .ZIP format, then simply copy it to the kitchen's original_update folder.
OR if the shipped ROM consists of system.img and boot.img files, then copy those two files to the kitchen's original_update folder.
OR if the shipped ROM is in an .EXE format, then do the following:
In Windows, run the shipped ROM's .EXE file till it gets to the first dialog. Stop there but don't close the window yet.
Go to Start->Run and type: %TEMP%
When the folder opens, search for Rom.zip (use the "magnifying glass" Search button)
Copy Rom.zip to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a cooked/custom ROM:
Copy the update.zip (or equivalent ZIP file) to your kitchen's original_update folder
OR from a Nandroid backup (under /sdcard/nandroid) [NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NON-STOCK ROM BACKUPS]:
Copy the system.img and boot.img files from the backup folder to your kitchen's original_update folder
NOTE: The Nandroid-backup method of ROM customization is not the best method, because the kitchen may not account for various advanced options that were added outside of this kitchen (these options are in the update-script file which was in the original ROM but is not in the backup. The kitchen needs to re-create this file and 'guess' those options). However, it will support Nandroid backups that already have basic features like root, busybox and /data/app functionality.

Nice to know that an arabian is cooking
Waiting your builds because i'm sure you will be incorporating arabic roms and full arabic support by default!

This error sound of something wrong in updater-script, in this kitchen you must:
1. convert updater-script to update-script for working on it
2. convert it back to updater-script before make the zip process.
Anyway fore me it worked at 1st shot and this is what i made and in Dsixda thread there is a good tutorial and a video that explain all.

Thanks for your reply, I did convert it back and forth though but still same error. The tutorials are very nice and I did follow them to the letter. Will try again today after I get back home from work and will try to get another base to start from.

Np raptordin,
if you wanna say to me what build you are trying to mod and what mod you want to do, i can give it a go and see if i get the same error.

Will test again in an hour or so when I get home and report back. Thanks for your interest.

Just a reminder -- if you have a boot.img in your ROM's working folder, and it didn't get converted to "boot" folder after building the ROM, then you have to do the conversion manually.
1) Select option 20 - "Unpack or re-pack a boot.img"
2) Select option c - "Convert boot.img into NAND boot folder"
Then you can build.
If you are using a custom HD2 ROM then this step is probably not necessary, as the kitchen will aready have created the boot folder and removed the boot.img. To make sure, just open the .ZIP file that was created by the kitchen after building.

Thanks for info Dsixda,
I'm facing a couple of problems with the Kitchen, here they are:

So you don't have an "a2sd" file under /system/bin or /system/xbin or anywhere else? What options did you select for apps2sd (e.g. runparts?).

You need to be specific.. what is the error? And when you say 'installation' do you mean while the kitchen is adding the data/app folder, or while the ROM is booting?

Nope, there is nothing in there but there is the script in init.d " 10app2sd", though i'm speaking of original update.zip.

Is it really apps2sd (apps to ext3) or is it just that hack that is used to move all apps to the fat32 partition of the SD card (the option that is in Settings of Cyanogen ROMs)? Can you paste the contents of that file here please (in

[QUOTE]

I don't know anything about that, probably your device's or ROM's issue because it works elsewhere. When the kitchen adds /data/app to the working folder it only sets the permissions for that folder when flashing.

Flash torch in Lockscreen for Samsung 4.0.4 based ROM....

How to implement torch in locksreen ( long press home button when screen is locked to activate flashlight ) for Samsung 4.0.4 based rom
Hello friends,I want to share with all this useful mod ...
What do you need:
-1 My modified smali files to implement in Android.policy.smali
-2 Smali/backsmali utility
-2 7Zip or Winrar
-3 Some patient
Works perfectly with the Samsung XWLPM / XWLPT based rom
Examples:
- Take your Android.policy.smali and open it with 7Zip/Winrar ( is located in system/framework ) extract the file Classes.dex.
- Decompile the Classes.dex with smali
- Copy all the file from my archive and paste it to your decompiled Classes.dex ( \android.policy.jar\com\android\internal\policy\impl:
PhoneWindowMmanager.smali, KeyguardViewManager.smali, KeyguardViewMediator$2.smali and KeyguardViewMediator.smali )
- Recompile your Classes.dex with Baksmali
- Open again Android.policy.smali with 7zip/winrar and copy the new classes.dex
- Make backup of your Android.policy.smali and replace it with the new modified file
- copy torch apk and install it
- Also you need to create a new folder in your internal sdcard: tweak\lock_torch_on ( the correct structure located in my archive )
If you liked my work give me a thanks.....
Enjoy.......:good:

Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 20.07.2014] - Updated: New Z2 Root by CubeandCube

Hi,
i made a small script which is able to root ICS/JB phones. It uses a remount timing issue in Androids "adb restore" service.
So normally it should work on nearly all ICS/JB devices, for some it won't but the idea may work in a slightly modded version
There is a case for Xperia T and Xperia S,P etc. phones, this phones run ICS but don't have android's native restore with adb, Sony has added a own custom "Backup&Restore" app, the script handles this cases too, just choose the correct option!

[ROM] Stock 4.1.4 For 101xs, Clean, Stable, Root

Hello guys,
8 years after the release of my 4.1.2 rooted rom, I retrieved my 101 xs and I updated my rom. So here it is, an updated 4.1.4 rom, rooted and optimized that you can install now (don't forget to make backups of course).
I mainly got the tweaks from BlueAndroid: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073859
What I did
Retrieved build.prop enhancements and init.d tweaks from BlueAndroid
Updated busybox to 1.32-Stericsson
Updated CA certs from my recent Samsung phone, because the stock ones were expired
Removed ui sounds completely, I dislike them
Added custom host file for blocking ad servers
Added Viper4Android 2.4.0.1 (was Awesome Beats on 4.1.2)
Added Sony Walkman (music player)
Added Mixplorer v6.57.1 and MixArchive
Added Seeder (entropy generator to reduce lag)
I didn't do any UI tweaks (I'm not good at this). If someone wants, just do it. If you want to build your own version of the rom, I've made a script that builds the patched rom from the stock file. It runs under Linux or WSL. You'll have to download mkrom.zip and androidmerged.squashfs. Unzip the zip and place the squashfs file in the same directory. Then run mkrom.sh, and if everything goes well you should get a file named archos.ext4, ready to be installed (see Installation below).
Also I tried putting more recent versions of Google Play Store and Archos apps in the system/app folder, but when I did this, the apps were not working correctly, so I left them as their old versions. If someone has an explanation, please tell me
Download
Version 1: Archos_4.1.4_Mwyann_1.zip
Installation
I'm just gonna copy/paste BlueAndroid installation instructions here:
Install Developer Edition if you didn't already
connect USB cable & check if USB debugging is already enabled !
put archos.ext4 in your device ( root directory ! ) , or using adb command :$ adb push archos.ext4 /mnt/storage ;
go to recovery -> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Android Kernel ( if exist ! ) -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs -> copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in the new drive that appears !
OK -> wait to reboot -> enjoy the new rom
Don't hesitate to tell me if it worked or not, and what you think of this.

Hi!
I have tried to install it, but when I restart the device it just do not want to boot.
It freez ad the Archos logo screen!
What I am doing wrong!
I have dongraded my device to 4.0.26 version.
After that I have enabled the USB debuging.
Than I have installed the SDK version from Archos web site.
Restart and paste your firmware.
Restart again and flash the zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo (deleting ar not the Archos Kernel - no matter the result is the same - freez).
And nothing. Any help?!?!
Thanks!
PS: May be there is something wrong with your zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo files, because with the files from this post it works.

So it did work with the new zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo files? It's possible I just took the wrong files, from 4.1.1. I'll update those files soon.
Edit: Files updated to 4.1.2, should be fine now.

I will trythis method on the 97xs

Great It is ok
if you use the 4.0.26 !!!

doesn't work for me, "Usb connection : please copy a zImage and an initramfs, then press ok to disconnect" i used adb to put

THANKS for your THANKS :good:

Bump to this thread, because I've updated it after 8 years Enjoy a fresh 4.1.4 rom, rooted and updated as far as I could.

[Aroma][addons][patch]install any KitKat rom with any recovery[Dualboot tool]

Hi all.
before anything :
- this tool is for especialy for dualbooters because i havent tested in 1rst rom. but updater-script manage kernel flashed. prepare odin in case of bad flash, you're advised.
- always make nandroid before use and flash with my tool.
I saw that ppl have many trouble to install 4.4.2 kitkat roms on their device.
it seems that we have manu such "error status 7" , and these were about setting persmissions during flash.
so i decide to make an aroma to avoid this error.
if you flash an original 4.4.2 Kitkat rom and have the error, no need to flash another compatible recovery kernel to re-try, just use my aroma flasher with the steps i descride below. In the aroma advanced MENU, you will choose set_perm commands compatible flash instead of set_metadata commands persmission to see if flask process will work in fine
Sure, at end of process, a kernel will be flashed, dorimanx branch 8 i have put in pach you went to donwload, or another you have put instead like i describe in extra step 6 below too.
so, AROMA structure details is like this :
pach/AROMA
---------backupEFS <------- useful script, no need to touch.
---------KERNEL <------- place here your boot.img file. (original rom or other)
---------maliv2
-------------system/lib/egl/ <-------- maliv2 .so libs contents, no need to touch.
pach/data/app <--------- you can put som apks here, moved from /system/app/ (i often move in latinIME.apk from /system/app/ and then i free 40Mo on /system/ partition, its good for GAPPS)
pach/META-INF/....../ <--------- no need to touch.
the available download pach i use for some months now , is here :
UniversalAROMAinstallerFOR-4.4.2-ROMs-DefinitivePach.rar - 8.53 MB
how to use it
1 - download any kitkat 4.4.2 ROM your want to install I9100.
2 - try it normaly, and see if you have error on flash.
3 - when you got it, on PC, make a safe copy ot it somewhere, and open it with WINRAR. Then delete META-INF and other boot.img file. just let system folder in ZIP.
4 - uncompree my AROMA somewhere.
5 - drag and drop the 3 "bolded" folders (in aroma structured details) in ZIP rom you still have opened.
extra step 6 : in AROMA/KERNEL/ folder, you will find dorimanx branch 8 version (new @StanTRC recovery inside) i have put. You can replace it with any boot.img you want , even those from original rom zip you have safely somewhere on your PC. just extract boot.img from it and replace with in you new aroma installer rom zip you went to manage in steps 3, 4 and 5 .
aroma choice you will have :
"Compatibility of your Recovery Kernel",
"Your Kernel is compatible for set_metadata commands"
"Your Kernel ONLY understand set_perm commands"
"choose your based KK similar rom",
"AOSB BEANSTALK C-ROM EHNDROIX"
"CARBON"
"CM11 JELLYBAM"
"SABER PAC"
"PA"
"Resurrection Remix"
"SLIM SPIRIT"
"NEATROM AICP"
"SOKP"
"Backup EFS",
"Backup your EFS folder before flash"
"Skip"
"Kernel to flash at end of process",
"DorimanX 8 and MaliV2"<---------- option that serve to flash MALIV2 for dorimanX branch 8 users, dualbooters.
"any other kernel"
EXTRA TOOL : .db qulite bases "wiper" , it delete some .db files in some /data/data/com.android........../databases/ folders, usefull when we flash from <> based 4.4.2 roms, CM11 , RR , PAC , SLIM, PA....sometimes worked fines for me.
"Delete some SQlite .db files in ROM",
"YES ","Delete some SQlite .db from you installed rom to avoid com.android.phone FC or other FCs"
"NO thanks we can FLASH the ROM"
again, this is just for test and fun , dualbooters will like more that "normal" users. no risk to flash kernel in 2nd rom, but remember need maliv2 during AROMA....and i always afraid someone that try my work on 1rst rom will brick its device.....so i advertise everyone that before upload my "daily" works, i'm not always flashing them on my 1rst rom.
thanks.

i have made one pach with onle play store and google services , with others goodies, but i can re-script it with gapps. give me a way to follow what you think ppl need the most .
i mean this one, but i'm on some research about better way to use it, tomorrow i will post good version.
I9100-Aroma-addonsFor-KitKat-4.4.2-ROMS.zip - 180.81 MB
this one is that one i use in video review, you see i NEVER have trouble with space /system/ partition because initial ZIP ROM is modify with some apk in /data/app/ during flash, so i can add more goodies in /system/app/ using this aroma with play store, google sphere and touchwizz i use....see tuto how to move apks from /system/app/ to data/app/ before flash the rom and then gain space on /system/ to flash more files without disturbing /data/app/ we never want to full wipe to.
AND REMEBER external .sh script dont work well with dorimanx new recovery, i mean move choice in aroma so its better to have space in system before use and not use these options during aroma (i mean options to gain space)
thanks.
