[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sardo Numspa:
Neo, one quick question.

is there a way to make the settings stick? for example, i add a widget, alter the font colors, the data labels and such, and save. but say i made a typo in a data label. then when i delete the widget and re-add it, i have to alter everything all over again, colors and all the data labels. is there a way to make those initial setting stick so you dont have to redo them all?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alias_neo:
Currently there is not I'm afraid. It has been a difficult one to figure out as is, I could make tapping the widget show the pre-populated configuration for that particular widget, but then you couldn't do anything else by tapping.

My intention is to have a configure button within the activity that is launched for the pie charts once that is done. I am yet to decide however whether that functionality will be implemented in SE Widget or whether it will return to SE (Storage Ether) full app status as a separate app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sardo Numspa:
ok, no worries.

thanks for the reply.

What's the best 2.1 sense rom to have when getting a rooted hero activated? I had problems with nfx stock 2.1.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
please dont double post.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
If u didn't save ur original ROM after rooting then I'd recommended the unroot zip for fast unroot... which brings u back to stock.

Now root it again the same way ur comfortable with.. after u flash whichever recovery u prefer, do a backup so u always have solid sense like backup on file.... and save it also on ur computer.

Now flash away to wherever u want..

Oh and while ur back on stock u might as well update ur PRL
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
Try LiquidSense... It's pretty good! Either that or the Fresh Rom!

Hi,

Are there any way to install arabic (at least for reading) for Gingerbraed.

There are a patch working for some ROMs but not for odexed one.

My ROM is : Cool-BravoS-v3

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Reserved...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Noonski:
Reserved For something Fun.....

All the hiccups I had where because I was to anxious to read.

For Real Newbs setting up Sygwin on Windows is harder then baking the rom, I enjoyed myself thanks for that and thanks for your hours of work on this project since the beginning it already gave me great hours with my desire.

Enough with the ass kissing :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Preserved...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] D.O.C:
Thankyou!...many thanks bro...nice job!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] carcassudo:
sure i will try...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] raffaele88:
Big thanks man :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] alesscam:
wow....welcome dsixda......finally :D

thanks for your hard work man!!! ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] clavicle:
Wonderful news, I always wanted to learn some cooking and you have made my life simpler by showing me the way. thanks a lot man ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stian230:
Cooking time ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Hi guys, I have updated the kitchen to version 0.176, with a few changes related to the SGS2. Please see the release notes in post #2 of the kitchen thread.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Noonski:
Does this mean I still need to replace the update binary?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
The correct update-binary was already in 0.175, no need to replace it. In the release notes the mounting stuff is in reference to the sysro script which had the wrong mount points in earlier kitchens.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
I've now uploaded version 0.177 of the kitchen, which takes care of a few issues that came up while adding the SGS2 updates to the kitchen. Please visit the main kitchen thread to download the latest version. Release Notes are found in Post #2 of that thread.

Enjoy
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stian230:
I used xxkh3 stock firmware removed all bloat ware removed all crap I didn't Ned as ringtones and wallpapers. Added my own ringtones/wallpapers/transition effect and jkay themes . Removed ugly yellow triangle in boot logo added my personal logo and made a ugly dock for the launcher..

I used about one hour .

I've been using this kitchen since I got my N1 and it's the best ROM kitchen no discussion..

thanks Dsixda.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tids2k:
been waiting :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] danielek:
Thank you Dsixda!

You made us chef! :D :D :D

Hope the restaurant goes on :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
By the way, to verify your Samsung Galaxy S2 variant works with the kitchen, open your device's /system/build.prop file and check the ro.product.device value. If the value doesn't exist under the kitchen's tools/samsung_files/sgs2_variants/ folder then just create a file there with same name.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sendhiloo7:
Hi dsixda,

Thanks to see here. i was used your ROM for HTC ELFin..

I am very happy :)..

Now i have created a ROM for SG II, Where i will remove/add application in this kitchen.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Sboulema:
Thanks this worked perfectly :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] firefds:
the symlink bin files from the zip have the content of the symlinked file.

like CAT has the content of toolbox.

Where in the tar dump CAT has the string "toolbox" inside.

That's the noticeable thing.

Maybe there are more differences, permissions perhaps?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
I checked a fresh nandroid against the kitchen made rom. Only a number of 7bytes bin files differ.

And i do not have any problem with any of these ways to create a rom.

What update scripts are you using?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
That should have the same effect. You can either symlink a file or copy the destination (which takes up more space). The command outcome is still the same.

How did you copy it? On the device itself they are just links to toolbox, but when you copied them it looks like you used an extra option to copy the destination of the link instead.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
This is the updater-script I posted about 12 hours ago in this thread:

http://pastebin.com/zb4ei8Yb

All done by the kitchen. Did you manually change anything?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] firefds:
Nop, just went into root explorer, long pressed system folder and choose Zip This Folder
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Yeah I just tried that too... Root Explorer seems to copy the whole file (79K) by default.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DocRambone:
Ok, i use my own script, aka: symlink("busybox", "/system/xbin/["); etc

Sorry about that.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] manishdev:
It seems like this dsnt work on i9100G, i did everything u mentioned in the guide but i keep geeting stuck at boot. when i do flash the newly created zip using cwm it says success but still wnt move past Boot image.

In between it does says change frame work for the i9100g..has is got to do sumthing with non working on i9100g
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] firefds:
well, this is too late now, this is my system dump:

http://www.multiupload.com/21WHXMQFDE

if you want to see my rom, this is it:

http://www.multiupload.com/B7VV57LZY5

(I removed hubs and added Hebrew language into most APKs, so the file size are different)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
I don't think the G is supported for most ROMs in this forum.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Cfroot adds busybox to the ROM somewhere, but I had earlier added busybox normally like you but still same problems.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] manishdev:
There are a few custom rom which have cwm etc and m currently using it. I took a stock ROM from sammobile for testing and compiling but no success. Any chance this may work on the G model:confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
I don't think so unless it is meant specifically for the G, ie. Not the international version.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] manishdev:
yes the rom is meant specifically for G :mad:. anyways m trying again with a different stock and a rooted kernel this time, will post soon the results of it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
I'll look at it when I get home, thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] manishdev:
Not working tried two more times both with a rooted kernal and a stock kernal, all that happens is the updating bar goes till half and then says updating successful but phone gets stuck in boot screen... I guess will just keep reading the thread till some G version guy gets it working:o
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Ok, there are two noticeable differences between your ROM and mine (other than the symbolic links):

Under /system/fonts:

- DroidSans.ttf (18 bytes on mine, 74K on yours)

- DroidSans-Bold.ttf (15 bytes on mine, 74K on yours)

However, these two are just symbolic links to the Roboto font, so it may not be a big deal. In your ROM they are copies of the font rather than links.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
OK, LOL, replying again to myself. :D

I have some good news. The font issue IS the fix for the Samsung keypad errors. Basically you need to make a copy of Roboto-Regular.ttf and name it DroidSans.ttf. Then you make a copy of Roboto-Bold.ttf and name it DroidSans-Bold.ttf.

Simply having the symbolic links mentioned in the quoted text above does not work somehow!!! Also, there is no need to do anything manually to the symlinks in the /system/bin folder.. you can let the kitchen do its thing and leave them in the updater-script.

I can confirm this works now. I will update the kitchen shortly to have this fix in ICS. And a big thank you to firefds for providing a working backup that allowed me to see the differences between a working and non-working ROM!

EDIT: Now fixed in kitchen version 0.186
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] manishdev:
Hi

Found any solution for the I9100G people, i have constantly been following this thread for the success on my version.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] creezalird:
a bit confuse, u said, a statement or question?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Find a ROM for the G and compare it with the one you made, then see what needs to be done.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] manishdev:
If you can please clarify the following points i will be grateful

I actually dnt care for custom ROMs but using this Kitchen are the following possible?

1)Rooting any stock kernel?

I used the stock rom with a stock kernel and in rooting options i selected "root with CF method" since all i wnt is how to add cwm recovery mod in a stock kernel.

Is der a possibility that this can be done?

2) I flashed the stock kernel after applying the CF rooting method and i belive it was rooted but it still dint have the CWM recovery. I also chose to apply the plugin CWM app but even then i cudnt get the CWM recovery.

The only reasong i am so desperate for CWM recovery is since chainfire dsnt do any work related to the i9100G model and hence no hope for us people
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xenix96:
THX dsixda !!!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
You are asking the wrong person..sorry.

If Chainfire can't do anything you are probably out of luck. I am not a hacker, I just write scripts. Anyways this thread is about the kitchen, not about rooting a device.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
I am trying to deodex KILA2 with the kitchen, however "phonesky.apk" won't deodex and when I flash the rom, maps.apk forcecloses at the beginning when the droid logo appears and there is no "Market" when the rom has booted...

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] firefds:
Phonesky is the market.

You can dowload the latest GB gapps and use vending.apk from there
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
Are you suggesting that i add both maps.apk and vending.apk from the gb apps in the app folder? Do I do this before deodexing or after...

Pardon the noob...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] firefds:
After.

There is no maps.apk in gapps. But you can always download it from thr market or use thr brut maos mod
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
my bad about the maps.apk got a bit confused...

What do i about the phonesky.apk & phonesky.odex... let them remain as is or delete them..?

Thanks again for your assistance...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
If you were trying to deodex your ROM and had leftover odex files, do not flash the ROM unless you remove the problematic apk/odex files. This was already mentioned in the kitchen as an error message after you tried to deodex everything.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Noonski:
Go watch a movie before I close this thread :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
Got it... Thank you for this awesome kitchen... I made my first custom rom with it...

Can you tell me how do I dedodex a CSC? Point me to right thread please...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Why do you want to deodex a csc? When you create the working folder it asks you to add the csc to the ROM. Why don't you deodex it with the ROM?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
Got it.. Will do this.. Thanks again..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Actually those apps doing need deidexing, and I think they are found in a other folder, not apps. Why do you want them anyway -- they are usually carrier bloatware.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
Also, if I wanted to change the csc of a ROM when should I be doing it...?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
There is an option to extract a CSC later, just follow post #1.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
Doing that... Extracted CSC in plugin scripts addons...

Now need to add/replace these files in Meta-Inf & system folder, right?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] firefds:
You dont need to touch the meta-inf files. Just copy the csc folder you extracted and copy it into the system folder. The whole folder, not just the files inside.

Make sure that in your system folder you DONT have folders called meta-inf and system.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
Oh ok.. Let me rephrase my question:

I extracted sec_csc from the cache_img file. The extracted folder has two folders Meta-Inf & system.

Meta-Inf has a com folder, cert.rsa, cert & manifest.imf and the System folder has csc, media, cscversion & sw_configuration.

Shouldnt't I be copying the contents of these folders to the corresponding folders in the Working folder?

Or should I just copy the CSC folder to the system folder in the working folder..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Noonski:
That's what he meant, you do not need the META INF folders.

You only need the contents from the CSC folder Minus Bloatware crap.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Again, you didn't read the help text in the kitchen after the csc files were extracted. You missed this:

"You can unzip this file (sec_csc.zip) and copy the contents of the 'system' folder to your ROM's system folder."

It didn't instruct you to copy META_INF. Make sure you read the directions that I conveniently provided in the kitchen scripts, don't rush through them.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kranti2064:
Finally my first custom rom per se... Thank you dsixda, Noonski and firefds for all your assistance and help...

You guys are great...!!! thanks again... :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Faryaab:
Dsixda, How did you fixed the ICS Keypad FC?

Thanks,

Faryaab
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Check the post on Jan 17
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] manishdev:
So i guess it wnt work on i9100g... Its sad no development on this front as well but great work never the less.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
How many times do have to keep bringing it up? There's nothing I can do. You also realize that I have a hand injury because of the time I spent on the kitchen and thus am no longer working on new device support? Please respect that.

Feel free to open up a I9100G ROM and figure it out on your own time if nobody else can do it for you.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Cloud2F:
read the whole thread now... but why is there a wifi / keyboard / root issue left @ my rom?

i didnt add something or change something, just extracted and deodexed the rom. now trying the newer kernel from CF-Root and have a look if its working.

this time i try with and without zipaligning.

the font "DroidSans.ttf" and the 'bold'-variant aren't in my folder (/system/fonts), is that normal?

thx :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
I haven't tried those latest ICS leaks in quite a while so I can't tell what the problem would be now. I was also having the wifi and root issues before (see my posts before Jan 17), but somehow they started working again... maybe there was an error in CFRoot, since wifi is kernel-related and CFRoot also has the Superuser binaries.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Cloud2F:
hmm... i'll try on my Notebook again and tell you what happened :)

// tested... doesnt work, samsung keyboard is Force closing, didnt test wifi, root doesnt work with newest kernel from chainfire...

any tips? :s

// used another updater script, its working with that (samsung keyboard and root)... so there is a problem with that, but i dont exactly know :s

// symlinking the both fonts (mentioned in the post from 17/18) will fix it i think...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hm_dreamware:
i have finished my project. but, when i copy that to sdcard, isn't readed on my phone..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Anon9mouz:
Has ne one tried this for the epic 4g touch sprints version??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Just FYI, the latest version of the kitchen (0.191 as of April 3rd) has fixed some of the issues with Mac OS X. You should have no problem building a ROM with an OS at 10.4 (Tiger) or higher. The only exception may be that Tiger does not support zipalign. Please see the FAQ for Mac setup help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jorsolano:
Small problem

Hallo dsixda's,

first of all i want to thank you for this wonderful tool.

I cooked my first rom but i have a problem and i have not found an answer through searching.

The rom is an odexed XWLP9, BULP6 modem, XEULP5 csc, Cf-Root LP9, No Wipe.

After the installation none of my rooted apps works; i flashed Cf-Root with Odin afterwards to see if this was the problem but the problem remains. I tried lots of things like trying to uninstall SuperSU, CWM, etc., but nothing worked out.

I used the kitchen to check the script (i am not that expert), an it says that there are two errors in the last to lines:

flash_zimage

flash_modem

I woul appreciate yours or anyone help. in the mean time I am going to restore my backup.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Flash the custom ROM and then update the Superuser version from the market.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] *boy*racer*:
hello all.

umm i deodexed ics stock rom using dsixda kitchen and when i flashed it to my phone, wifi doesnt want to switch on. if i remember correctly when ics beta came out i made an update.zip for people so they can flash it, and that had the same problem.

i have done a logcat and was wondering if one of you kind people can take a look and possibly tell me how to solve it? Thanks

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jorsolano:
Hello Dsixda,

Thank you for your answer. I already tried, but it does not install. I cleared all caches and tried again but still does not work. I already flashed my backup and in the mean time i will try to read and learn a bit more.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
What do you mean when you say it doesn't install (what error message)? Also, did you make sure you used the correct kernel for your ROM?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
@dsixda, hello sir, its my first post on your thread, please excuse my noobishness, since the last two days i have been trying to use your kitchen to have a ics rom deodexed and all the other goodies that come with it. After having read and reread all posts on this thread and the faq on the kitchen thread, the rom got built fine with all the goodies but post flashing, i got to see ime fcs, root failure and was not able to connect through wireless. Now I have tried this with three recently launched stock firmwares with the same result.

However, i came across this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24884843&postcount=257, and followed the same steps as before with the exception of what has been suggested in the former, rom got built perfectly as before, only this time post flashing, none of the above errors:) thanks for the kitchen:)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
No problem..

Did you use the latest version of the kitchen when you saw the problem?

We had a problem like this back in January for ICS but I had fixed it (symlink issue with fonts).

Also, do you still have a copy of the two folders you extracted from your phone? Additionally, do you still have a copy of the factoryfs.img folders that were replaced? I'd like to do a comparison of the files.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
Yes, I have used the latest version of the kitchen wherein i had seen the problems, and yes I do have both the previous ones and the new ones bin and font folder, would definitely patch them to you when I go home from work, thank you again:)

EDIT - Here you go! http://db.tt/V8xG51Wz and http://db.tt/kbQO4ank
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jorsolano:
Hello dsixda,

it just did not install or deinstall either with the default application manager nor with T. backup. I guess it is the same error as mentioned by @samit.mahap because i also had the IME issue. I will try to do it again using the post he mentioned and we'll see.

Thank you anayway. Next time i will try to keep records of the errors (learning, you know).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Thanks a lot, it looks like DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf were not found in the ROM itself. I think I know what the problem is, I'll fix this later in the day.

BTW, what's the link to the original ROM?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Ok, try this file, guys. Unzip it and copy the enclosed file to your scripts folder. Should fix the issues you're seeing.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
The original Rom is stock dxlp9 rooted with cf root lp8

The new file posted by you to be overwritten in c\cygwin\home\user\kitchen\scripts folder?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Yes just overwrite it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
Is this the Singapore dxlp9 or some other variant? I had this downloaded and didn't see the issue. Do you have a link??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
yes sir this is the Singapore one, i downloaded the same from faryab's thread in the general section, also, i had tried the same method on two other variants lp8 and lp7 from intra's thread same method, same issues, but after replacing the bin and font folder, output rom generated from kitchen worked fine, am still at work, so haven't quite gotten a chance to use the file that you have suggested to. would do that first thing once i get back home and report back, thank you again for following up.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dsixda:
One more question - are you using Cygwin, Linux or Mac for this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
Am using Cygwin.

Post swapping the fix_pre_build file, there was just one welcome change, no keyboard errors, keyboard works just fine. However, super user still failed to update binaries and wireless stuck at obtaining ip address as before. I dunno if it would help, but there's quite a difference in the update script if i do the normal way and the time when i copy the font and bin folders and then do it, in the normal process the update script has a lot of symlinking lines whereas in the later part which works, there's just one symlink line that corresponding to dump crash i think, rest all is the usual set permission and format , mount etc..Am attaching both for you.
