English: Well, first of all my most sincere and cordial greetings, is my first post in this area and because I am a SUPER noob on the subject of cooking ROMs.

I want to start with something simple this world, to warm things up and learning step by step.

I want to take the last NB Desire CyanogenMod 7 for the GSM (bravo) and do some basic modifications (but to my taste), the ROM will end this for me. For this I dsixda download the kitchen, put the ROM in question in the "original_update" I ran. / Menu from the console and select the first option "Set up working folder from ROM".

To my surprise I found this error message: Error: No system folder found!

I saw very strange thing, since the ROM if you have (obviously) the system folder, plus try different ROMs and happens exactly the same.

Anyone know where my error? I'm using the 0186 version of the kitchen. Thank you.

Excuse my bad, bad English.

Español: Bien, primero que nada mis mas sinceros y cordiales saludos, es mi primer post en esta area y pues soy un novato en el tema de cocinar ROMs.

Quiero comenzar este mundo con algo sencillo, para ir calentando y aprendiendo paso a paso.

Deseo tomar la ultima NB de CyanogenMod 7 para el Desire GSM (bravo) y hacerle algunas modificaciones básicas (pero a mi gusto), a la final esta ROM sera para mi. Para ello me descargue la cocina de dsixda, coloque la ROM en cuestión en la carpeta "original_update", corrí ./menu desde la consola y seleccione la primera opción "Set up working folder from ROM".

Para mi sorpresa encontré este mensaje de error: Error: No system folder found!

Cosa que vi muy extraña, puesto que la ROM si tiene (obviamente) la carpeta system, ademas probé con otras ROMs y sucede exactamente lo mismo.

Alguien sabe donde esta mi error? Estoy usando la versión 0.186 de la cocina. Gracias.

Disculpen mi MAL, MAL ingles.

Really?? I have no problem with zips, even tested it right now. Do you have a link to ROM in question?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanitomigraña:
It did not work for me, still giving me the same error even with system.zip folder you create. :(

As if it matters, I am using Linux Mint - debian edition. The strange thing is that I had used before to test the kitchen ROMs MotoDext things, but now does not work (it was another older versions).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanitomigraña:
It is with all the ROMs I've tried, maybe it's my PC problem then. Using Linux Mint, Debian edition. I have the latest version of Java installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
I think your computer accidentally the whole thing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanitomigraña:
How to fix? They had previously used this kitchen but from the Debian distribution and worked well, I understand that now. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
Well if the problem was caused by your computer accidentally the whole thing, then you should be able to accidentally the whole thing as well. Two negatives make a positive right?

Zip and unzip applications were not installed on my OS. Install these 2 and presto, everything works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsixda:
The error messages in the kitchem would have told you that unzip was not found.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanitomigraña:
I never said it lacked the unzip function, but by using one of the plugins (I forget which) that required the zip function if I said that was needed and there I realized.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zailer:
i had the exact same issue with PcLinuxOs mini me version.

At first the issue was "no system folder found" fot that i manually put the system folder files in working folder. but then while trying to compress back ( build a update.zip) kitchen popped up this msg

error like 177 on some_script

i went and opened up the script looked for line 177 what its trying to do .. then i knew zip was not installed in the system. :) :) installed it and now its working fine.

but still not able to port any rom. am very new with all these things but i have to say .. this Dsixda 's Kitchen is really a great program to start with. and learn more . :)

@Dsixda sir

sometimes if try to open up system.img.ext4 files (huawei u9000 x6 ) folders like app,usr etc will be currupted and look like files only.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dev27:
Your steps are correct. Make sure that you have 7zip installed on your computer. I would recommend you to re-install Cygwin and android kitchen and use the latest version of it.

If re-installing doesn't work, just unzip your Rom using 7zip and copy the boot.img and system folder to your Working folder. :good:

Hit thanks if this helped. PM me if you need further help, or just search the forum. :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Awizzle:
Just ordered and received the Seidio active case and figured I would do a quick review of it for you guys. Previously I was using the Casemate barely there case so that is all I really have to compare it to.

When I opened the box I was impressed by it. It looked nice, seemed to be well designed and have good construction. I liked the way it was built with the rubber inner case and the hard outer shell to go over it which seems to be a good combination of drop protection without being too hard to slip into a pocket if you choose to do that. I was looking for a case that would provide a bit more protection than the barely there I had on the phone. I don't find that it adds a lot of bulk to the phone either, which I like. It is bigger, but not that much bigger in my opinion.

All of the ports and buttons line up well and I don't have any problem using any of them. The holster is nice and well built too. Which brings me to my one complaint about this case. When holstering the phone the latch on the top has a tendency to catch onto the rubber part of the case on top and pull it up instead of just letting the phone go in. I think this could have easily been solved by having a piece of the plastic hard shell molded over the top of the case where the latch would be going. This makes it awkward to easily holster the phone sometimes. But that is really my only complaint. Debating returning it and getting the surface case just so I don't have to deal with that, but I like the added protection of the active case.

Posting a couple of pictures that I have now, I will add a couple of pictures of the phone in the case for you guys later. I apologize for the pictures that they aren't that great, all I have is my phone and webcam for taking pictures..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Badd_blood:
Looks like a work case.

Yeah, it's definitely not as heavy duty as an otterbox defender or a ballistic hc though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrusalmighty:
Sony Ericsson was wonderful enough to include a stock theme chooser in our Xperia Plays so I have wondered why are we not customizing them? I see no threads about this at all or where we can share themes for our stock manager so I wanted to start one.

The process of customizing the stock theme manager is very simple and can be done by swapping out pngs within the DefaultThemes.apk. (Simply unzip, swap pics, & rezip)The images are located in "res/drawable-hdpi" folder.These "themes" are not full themes but instead they only affect the background of the dialer, contacts, alarms, calculator, stock messaging app, stock calendar, settings, & music app, & can be used with other themes (i.e ICS).

I do not know how to change the name of the preview images in manager (i.e. Fluorite, orchid, ruby, flow, sunflower, onyx ,& willow) as of yet, but I think I need to edit xml to change this. I would like to get some feedback on this and hope someone will enjoy the customized themes I made. (I have only replaced the stock images so I did not create the wallpapers or images.)

To install this:

1. Your phone must be ROOTED and you should have Root Explorer app(or other Root browser) from market.

2. You should make a backup of your phones DefaultThemes.apk file that is found in System/app folder (but I have included it to download also if you like)

3. You need to change permissions of the file before you move it into its folder. (Picture is included to show the correct permissions)

4. Lastly replace file and reboot phone. Once rebooted you should have new themes (modified themes) in stock theme manager.

Many Screenshots are below.:) Again...Feedback is appreciated

There are 2 customized versions and the original SE 2.3.4 Default Themes apk. Basically 14 new themes here.

V.2 Custom Themes http://db.tt/oO3RykwG

V. 3 Custom Themes http://db.tt/7YFiAdd7

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrusalmighty:
No problem. I figure there are some really good themes posted here like ICS, Galaxy s2, & someone even just did motoblur. They all put in a lot of work & they came out great.(I use ICS personally). So I thought if I made custom themes for the manager it makes them look even better imo. If you have some images that you want to add or suggestions let me know & ill see what I can do.
[Networking] Skeeredfitless:
Don't feel bad. Mine isn't always much better. I am normally on wifi when I need to do web surfing or anything major. I see you are in Dallas which I guess I could understand the speeds because of major usage. I live in a small city and still get somewhat pathetic times, usually just a little bit faster than dialup.
[Networking] pspunderground:
Ouch. I have WiFi too, but it's also an unreliable POS because it drops out every ten minutes. I'm thinking of switching, but the only other carrier that has a decent signal is Verizon, but 5GBs of data is a killer. I often pass 6GBs on my EVO.
[Networking] Skeeredfitless:
Is the wifi a hotspot problem or a phone problem? If it is a hotspot problem then I would flash an updated firmware for it. I had a linksys with that problem and the firmware fixed it. You could also try changing the wireless channel in the routers configuration.
[Networking] pspunderground:
It's a Sprint problem.

I switched and got unlimited data on Verizon with the hotspot trick

[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
Hi guys,

Currently i just rooted my phone and successfully install CM7 KANG by Koboltz (sorry if i spell it wrong ) ..many thanks bro for the KANGin... It really smooth and trouble free from my experience using it for 2 weeks now

Now I really want to take my O2X to the next level by try to install custom kernel on it .. and my choice is Vadonka's kernel http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1427646

However i always failed to install the recent Update 2012.01.17 .. any version i tried I always got bootloop on CM7 logo...always stuck there and wont go in to the system.

The only Vadonka's kernel i managed to install successfully is LGE-KaNG_120109 its super smooth and stable but i got a bug that i cant play my PES 2012 on it -- PES always stuck on konami logo and then force close.

anybody have the same problem with me ?

Is there any way i cant play PES 2012 on that kernel (LGE-KaNG_120109).. or is there any settings that i need to change ?

And are there any way to know what causing bootloop on Vadonka's newest kernel ? -- maybe is there something i need to do to diagnostic this maybe ?

(yes i did all the clean / wipe stuff before and after installing) but still it bootloop on CM7 logo on newest kernel.

other than that Vadonka has created or KANG one of the best kernel i think for o2x -- at least that is what my friend said

but still thanks to Vadonka

Thanks in advance for any help guys :)

UPDATE:

I tried Vadonka's latest Update 2012.01.18 but it still give me bootloop on CM7 logo.

I did try to use init remover by Vadonka to remove init script

I did try to disable compcache in CM7 setting

I did wipe cache and dalvik

Still i'm not able to boot
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Try temasek's kang (link in signature) maybe this will work.
[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
I see, I will try temasek's KANG... been actually thinking ti change rom but still learning about this rom and kernel stuff.

Thanks for the advice
[LG Optimus 2x] tzarp990:
Installing Vadanko tweaks failed for me aswell :-(. My battery drain is ridiculous (think I'll just have to settle with a spare battery)

I'm running Temasek kang and it is quite good.
[LG Optimus 2x] plakers:
Temasek rules!... ;)

I use "CherryPics" Kernel (for CM7/Kang) with it

May be a driver/hardware module that causes your phone to hang and some other versions? (these parts are very "ROM specific" or Kernel inclusions...)
[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
Yes I did try to use Temasek's kang #50 now, but still unable to use Vadonka's latest kernel.

Well on the good side, Temasek's kang #50 is bullet fast and rock stable for me. .. and after applying androidon tweak its just like bullet covered in butter.

I must say many thanks to Temasek, AndroidON and surely CM team and every other coder.

But I still kinda curious to try Vadonka's kernel....hope better luck next time
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Hmm... There was a guy who had just the same problem as you, he couldn't boot any kernel versions after 9 January, so maybe you could try this version... Try searching for it at vadonkas thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
Vadonka's kernel on 9 January is working fine, but still got several apps wont run on it .. one example is PES 2012, which always freeze and yhen fc.

I see that he is building new kernel (ETaNa).. wonder if this one might work ? I mean is it completely new? Cause I see its said that the installer will recognize something
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
I don't know if it is completely new, AFAIK, he only give it a new name...
[LG Optimus 2x] nebregg:
Same issue here, after the jan09 version, i got a bootloop. Etena version same issue.
[LG Optimus 2x] Flewoutthecuckoonut:
I would like to ask if I install custom kernel that is released by vadonka (the latest one is 30 Jan). Is there any problem if I flashed hybrid revolution v3.1 with the latest one??
[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
I'm not sure about this but afaik vadonka made a lot of tweak along with his kernel and that might conflict with tweak in gueste rom .. please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think its better to wait kernel only installer from vadonka or you can try temasek kernel only.

I would like to try gueste 3.1 rom but maube I'll wait for it this weekend.
[LG Optimus 2x] vkk178:
You can try out IronKrnl . The 32MB version has been stable for me for the last two days . And I have infact patched IronKrnl with Vadonka's init.d AIO tweaks and trying that out now . Vadonka's kernel was fast when I had it on my O2X but I experienced frequent FC's with the phone radio so I reverted back to stock CM7 kernel and patched IronKrnl . Having said that I think Vadonka's kernel is likely to be newer and more optimised if it gets stable

Always take a Nandroid backup of the existing stock & stable image before flashing a new kernel . It saves a lot of a headache . And to flash a totally different kernel I would recommend you to revert to stock and then flash the new kernel . The faster way would be to revert only the boot.img file but that might leave behind some stray settings .
[LG Optimus 2x] mantork:
also i have problem with the newest etana kernel by vadonka, it makes the cpu getting hot , and dont know why
[LG Optimus 2x] nothingtotalk:
Try to flash back prior to installing vadonka's kernel. Apparently there are some issues with his current kernel that I've experienced as well so it's better off with the stock kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
Currently I'm stick with Temasek kang #55 and with default kernel. Its been very stable and smooth for a week now, and u don't even have charging BSOD again since I set the screen awake while charging.

Latest Temasek kang #58 is out now, and I have yet to decide if I want to use it or use Gueste 3.1

Anyone tried gueste 3.1 from CM 7 without data wipe? ? ( only cache and dalvik wipe) cause I don't want to install all my programs from scratch. Is it even possible, since gueste 3.1 is also based on CM 7 ?
[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
Hi,

I've been using Gueste 3.2 hybrid revolution for a day now, and i muat admit this is the smoothest rom i ever use in my entire o2x life.

The stock lg launcher is covered with butter. I even try to install go launcher ex, and ita still very smooth like never before.

Then i say many many thanks to Mr. Temasek for his Kang efforts and Mr. Stefan for this smooth rom.

My other experience today is for the pimp my cpu app always ask for super user privilege ... I always set to allow and tick on the remember box ... but it always keep asking.

For that i maybe a noob because i don't know how to sett the proper super user... but no impact on performance whatsoever until now.

Anybody know how to use pimp my cpu ? or atleast make it not keep asking for super user privilege. ?

I'm currently using Temasek Cm 7 kernel + voodoo sound dated 7 feb 2012 .. downloaded from Temasek mediafire.

Thanks in advance
