[KITCHEN] Basic ROM kitchen for new Eris cooks [PC/Mac]

Hi guys,
Lately I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM on HTC-based Android devices. It allows you to do basic things such as rooting a shipped ROM, adding apps2sd, modifying the task killer memory threshold, etc.
Today I added some settings to make it work for the Droid Eris, but I am unable to test it, as I don't have an Eris.
Here is the link to the kitchen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Please try it out if you can, and let me know if it works
Before flashing any ROM from the kitchen, please make a Nandroid backup first of your existing ROM!
Thank you, and enjoy!

I will cook a rom with your kitchen and test it on my Eris. Thank you for your work.
Will update with results.
UPDATE!
kitchen mostly works, the roms build and they flash onto the phone. had a few problems with setting task management, then tried option 14 and 15 with a few errors as well, so i just skipped that and just did a very basic rom build. so the core of the kitchen works and you can build roms, the issues i am having could be with my setup or it could be that DSIXDA was unable to test it before releasing, but for an untested kitchen it is FANTASTIC!

if this works does this mean we can overclock our phones..?

what from the first two posts made you think this?

because i was reading that with this we can make a rom that doesnt belong on our phone and make it to where it can go on our phone. soo if we get a rom that can be over clocked will that work

Thank you!! Of course I am damned by the leak but I feel a root coming on and this will really come in handy...

I don't believe you would be able to make a ROM that have the capabilities to OC. With all these current ROMS that have been made by competent cooks, yet none of them OC. But hey, you might be able to and prove me wrong. Which I do hope you can. But I have read from a few forums that OC is not that possible.

We don't have the source for 2.1 for our phone. When we do then OC'ing will be possible. That won't be released until hopefully with or shortly after official 2.1 OTA is released from Verizon.

Thanks!
Probably won't be cooking as much as fiddling with ROMs to suit my own ideals of them, but this seems like it might open the doors to a lot more people.

Just tried porting the DarchDroid ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5663463
From the base of this:
eris21official-root.zip: http://www.multiupload.com/YP1BIUOF60
Everything was successful and I got a signed ROM, but it wouldn't boot. Just got stuck on splash. Tried doing logcat too but nothing showed up.

Please make sure you can flash an actual Eris ROM before you start work on porting roms from other devices. Let me know how that works out.

Yesterday there wasn't any Droid Eris support, that's why it wasn't working yesterday. I had to modify the kernel build command a bit for the Eris. Actually, now that I think about it, the code from yesterday should still work, as it correctly figured out the kernel's base address.
I'll dig into it a bit more...

quick quesion, what are the main differences between hero and eris roms?

So where Can I get a stock eris rom since you advise against using nandroid backup???

Basically the kernel's physical base address and the WiFi module. There are a few minor things as well. I did not port an Eris ROM myself when I had the Hero, but this is what people have told me.

dsixda, when i tried to follow your setup guide for your kitchen, i noticed that you didnt have any links for x64 based linux setups. i tried to find the java bin and jre install files but linux is new to me and i dont think i grabbed the right ones. would you be able to point me to the right links for those on ubuntu 9.10 x64?
thanks!

Have you tried obtaining the Java package with the sudo command? Unfortunately I have not tried the 64 bit method, nor have I been asked about it before. If you find a way please let us know.
If you guys are still having problems with the cooked ROM not booting, then I'll ask some of the experienced Eris cooks around here for help.

I will try cooking a new ROM right now. No porting or anything, just a cooked ROM from the original 2.1 root with some apps removed so I know it is different.
Updating in a few...

I'm working on a ROM right now using your kitchen. I just recently came across your kitchen while searching the forums. I am using version v0.38 and I'm assuming eris support is on v0.39, correct? Should I just extract the the files into the same directory that I have been using for v0.38?
I'll let you know when I sign and try to flash if it works. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[ deodex script] deodexerious: all your base are belong to us!

Here's a script I've built for my own ROM cooking purpose
another purpose was to create a very easy to read script, so everyone can understand the magic of deodex
had some hard time figuring all the BOOTCLASSPATH and all the signing magic (if you want to do it manually, the secret is: don't pack and sign!, just add the classes.odex to the original jar or apk...whatever...
or use my script to automagically do all that)
after one brick and jtag reincarnation and a few bootloops
I present to you:
DEODEXERIOUS !! (the only spartan deodex script)
requirements:
Linux
zip
* tested on my Ubuntu 10.10
instructions:
1. extract the included script
2. put the content of system(including the system folder) inside the rom folder
actually you can create a folder named system inside the rom folder and copy framwork and app folder there, it does not require any other files from the rom
3. while in the console inside the extracted script directory execute from the console
Code:
./deodexrom.sh
4. wait and watch the console for errors (there shouldn't be any)
5. when it is done, you should find the deodexed files inside the deodexed folder
* if you want to start over just execute from the same place in the console
Code:
./cleanall.sh
tested and successfully deodexed:
I897 UCKB1
I9088 KP2
I9088 ZNKP5
I9000 XXJPY
I9000 XWJS3
I9000 XWJS5
I9000 ZSJPG
I9000 XWJV1 2.3.2, except email.apk
it does not support already deodexed rom's!!! (why should it?)
if you test other raw versions (even captivate ones) please inform the result, or problems found, I'll do my best to help
careful
the script is a very initial version
it does inform errors human readable so watch the console for them
oh! almost forgot , here's the script:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3595341/deodexerious/deodexerious_03.zip
change log:
04/03/2011 - deodexerius_03
added gingerbread XWJV1 2.3.2 - custom classpaths
smali and baksmali 1.2.6
case insensitive classpath helpers
note:
deodexerius can deodex all XWJV1 2.3.2, except email.apk
27/02/2011 - deodexerius_02
better support for the additional files in kp5 and kp2
good luck!!

To deodex a single app, you need to keep the deodexed framework files around. Then you can just do that app by pulling the code bits out of the framework.

baksmali/smali + about 6 or 7 framework jars + cmd prompt = win!

How can I verify that the Deodex worked? I ran the script a couple times last night just to see what happens and then dropped the files in on my phone. Everything is working fine, just wanted to know how I can verify its deodexed.

I am use the same KB1 that hit the forums yesterday that i4ackback stated that works for him. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 and installed Java from the software manager, not sure if its the right one. I started copying the full system folder but ended up only extracting just app and framework just like the OP states. That message appears throughout the process but I end up with everything in the deodexed folder.

Any problems, suggestions, comments, feel welcome to post.
Standard Disclaimer Mumbo Jumbo about spontaneous combustion, girlfriend breaking up with you, sky falling, other funny stuff, etc. Once you flash, I will be more than happy to help, but remember a couple things:
-I do not offer a warranty, your manufacturer's/carrier's warranty is now void.
-I am not responsible for what to do to your device.
-I am only human, so don't expect me or my ROM to behave perfectly!
This ROM is being updated by the original dev, when he updates, I will update. Otherwise, updates solely by me will happen when I see fit or when someone suggests a change or brings up a problem.
When providing bug reports, please provide some simple information such as:
ROM version (I know it's just the first version, but for future reference...)
Steps you followed to install (yes, write them out)
ROM you came from
If you wiped ALL (data/cache/dalvik/system)
If you restored ANYTHING (ex. with Titanium Backup)
Steps to recreate the problem/any useful info about the problem.
Happy flashing!

Sounds pretty good. Looking forward to trying it.

Ok so wiped everything twice like you said... Chose custom installation (the one where you don't have to reinstall the ROM for changing anything) and I chose devil kernel, stock theme, and the some apps. But I noticed that when I go to settings /about phone every thing there is from the rom I was running before this, like kernel and mod version.. I believe this ROM is based on slim but it has an aokp theme (the one I had before fishing this.) And if I go to system/xxxx everything there is also from the previous ROM I was running. but the ROM is very fast smooth and responsive. I came from simply aokp v6

Correct, this is a mod of SlimICS, hence TiramiSLIM. So...your issue with messaging FC'ing remains? And to clarify...what kernel and mod version show up in your current setup?
Also, what messaging app did you install? Inverted? Stock?

Thanks for porting this. I hope to see your thanks meter continue to go up. I know it more than doubled today!
A couple questions if you don't mind-
On the original post in the I9000 forums, they have some sweet themes. What is the best way to go about getting those? Are they available for the captivate?
I found in that forum that others are trying out different kernels. Have you experimented at all? It seems to me that the one that comes with it doesn't support overclock and BLN through NSTools.
EDIT: The latest version of Devil Kernel works for me so far.

thanks Zzmomo. Use update-me app for themes (instructions are in original thread). kernels can be flashed in aroma installer. Update me app probably has i9000 kernels...I'll check this out.
So yeah...I'll have to release an update to the ROM to fix the update me app for the captivate. I'll probably also release an update.zip so current users don't have to download the whole ROM again.

joshlevinson this is a very nice rom. works like a charm !!! thank you so much for this!

I was messing around a bit and tried putting galaxy s3 ui sound instead of the regular ones. I replaced them using Root explorer and changed all the permissions to the right one and rebooted but it didn't work so I tried putting the default ones back but still didn't work... Any way I can get then back without having to reflash the ROM.. And if I do have to reflash it do I need to wipe or not

OK for replacing the file, I got them from team remics and I took system/media/audio/UI and replaced them with the ones from this rom. Set permissions and rebooted...
Then for the reflash process I wiped cache and dalvik cache , used modify me and selected devil, then replaced galaxy s3 and delete default sound, and selected some apps.. and rebooted but still no sound... so then I reflashed using default installation and then flashed again using modify me and all worked.

Is there really no custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy J5 ?

It seems impossible to find anything when 1000s of Google results are scummy suspicious paywall blogs with oddly similar comment sections. I was looking to update my phone to use Cyanogen mod but the device is not on the supported device list but there are devices from lower tier levels.
Full name for my device is: Galaxy J500FN (maybe it has a different name elsewhere ?) a mid range Samsung phone. In Europe. I found a thread about rooting it but that's not really the same.
Not sure how/where to look for answers.

I own the same device currently and would to get answers to this question. This phone has many users in Asia and Middle East. Btw the full name for my device is Galaxy j500H

I have searched a lot but no luck. I could find anything reliable.

Maybe just wanting something different. There are phones out there from Samsung and other manufacturers of lower and same tier with Android 5.1 which have custom roms.
And it's not just look and feel improvements, voice input/output, better image/video quality, batter life etc..

Ok getting the deodexed rom is easy.
Just install kitchen and cygwin on pc and setup the up correctly.
And then using cwm recovery make a backup of a factory reseted device and then just send me a screenshot of folders which you have.
After i tell you which filder to choose paate them into kitchen and start kitchen to make a working folder.
Then inside kitchen menu deodex apps and framework folder and then repack the rom.
After repacking flaah the rom using cwm recovery.
Your root will not be lost.
In least cases if root lost after flaahing the re root it using same method as you used before for rooting.
And for improvments you want in custom rom. I will try to get them in the rom.

And then using cwm recovery make a backup of a factory reseted device and then just send me a screenshot of folders which you have.
After i tell you which filder to choose paate them into kitchen and start kitchen to make a working folder.
Then inside kitchen menu deodex apps and framework folder and then repack the rom.
After repacking flaah the rom using cwm recovery.
Your root will not be lost.
In least cases if root lost after flaahing the re root it using same method as you used before for rooting.
And for improvments you want in custom rom. I will try to get them in the rom.

Thanks but currently CWM is not available, I am using twrp and I know the procedure you just mentioned but I'd rather wait for someone to cook a rom than do it myself. Time boht kam hai dost

So install the terminal emulator and write this.
Su
Tar -c /system/* /sdcard/system.tar
And wait patiently for the emulator to respond ok
Now you got the system.tar
And now get the boot.img from the rom
When you get both the files paste them in original rom folder in kitchen and stary cygwin
You can get good guids on cygwin and dsixda kitchen and how to set them.up correctly.
If not then i will tell you guys tommorow. Today going to sleep it too late here 1:27 am.
Good night bros

Hey,
I'm joining there.
So, after a bit of research i found a CM12.1 for Galaxy E5, wich is almost the same phone as the J5 (same proc, same RAM, same display). If anyone can port that rom to this device, that would be awesome.

I just cant understand this new porting method (5.1.1 has the system.new.dat - and the base rom is just a tar.md5).

There are many roms for moto g3 which is very slow in app opening when compared to j5,
So why can't we hv roms.
C tech trinkets video moto g3 vs j5 on YouTube
J5 is midrange beast.

Because that's not how things work, your phone opens apps "faster" good for you, doesn't mean anything.

Err_Connection_Refused after Bad Santa Root (LG-LS997)

I'm having issues with my browser giving me the error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" on some sites. Tumblr in particular. I have tried to change DNS on my phone with no luck and tried to use a VPN with same results. I noticed this with the Tumblr app when I tried to login that it would give me an error saying I'm not connected to a network. Other sites seem fine like Google, Facebook, etc.. but with Tumblr, and more (dare I say) adult sites are giving me this error. Not sure how i would go about fixing this and everywhere I have looked so far has giving me no solution to this. Is this a result from rooting, or am I just oblivious to the solution. Anything the would help would be appreciated.

Are you using the custom rom or trying to use your stock one? The stock one is broken(for now)
If you are using the custom rom try formatting your data and see if that fixes it. Dirtysanta methods need to be done from a clean install only.

Im still new to android device rooting and all so im not sure if it was a custom rom or stock one i used. I formated the data on my phone when doing this process byt ill do it again when im able to get to my pc.

Awesome to hear. Did try a fresh format and still have the error connection refused :s so for now ill wait till you get your files uploaded and see if that would help thanks so far tho

Delete the host file and then
Go and rename the hostfile from .bak ...It's In system/etc

Just delete it, it will create a new one... It some sort of ad blocking that is creating your problem.
