Any help on deodexing these STOCK ROMS?

Hi. I'm kinda new here and i own this phone too. I would like to ask anyone for help on deodexing DXLE1(PRE-Installed Rom on my Ace 2) or DXLF2 firmware, it's a SEA ROM.(I have them on my computer) Because I noticed some drawbacks to the fast ROM Messi had, I lost root access after a few days and I lost my CSC too even if it worked completely fine for 3-4 days after a clean flash of the firmware, cwm kernel and finally the jellycream. I liked the rom because it entirely took less than 200MB of RAM and even kept it cooler. So I wanted to try making my own rom with these firmwares that I have. Could anyone be kind enough to give any links or references on how I can achieve this? Thanks!

[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Will it be okay to use it? Even if this phone is not listed as supported? Could you recommend any tutorial or something to help me get started? Thanks
[Galaxy Ace II General] pfbatista:
Hi,

You don't need to look on chinese forums. Go to samfirmware.Com there you have a lot of roms available. There's where I usually go.

Just write I8160 on search box. Try it. At least is where I trust more.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Messi10:
bad news.

my phone is bricked coz i flashed by mistake gt-I8150 kernel ( my friend's phone ) so no rom till i get my phone from service center
[Galaxy Ace II General] lokeshsaini94:
hey if you have a copy of stock rom plz give me boot.img file from it...

Is it possible to add MHL support for this phone for connection between phone and tv?
[Galaxy Ace II General] soraxx:
No, MHL is a hardware feature. You need a Samsung TV capable with Samsung "sharing app" and Wifi

Please do not mix Roms for i8160 - i8160p NFC - i8160l latin america, We can loose NFC functionality

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Have you tried restoring files?
[Galaxy Ace II General] Reddeer2000:
Hi soraxx,

I've copied the original files to the S3 and the status bar is back now.

I'm searching for the original german fw for the i8160P, but the only fw I found , is the spanish one.

So, if someone has a link for the german fw, please let me know it.

Best regards

[Galaxy Ace II General] axelroll:
thanks!!!

but how can i Set owner to 0.0 & permissions to 644??
[Galaxy Ace II General] hary232:
you can use ES file explorer to set permission :)
[Galaxy Ace II General] axelroll:
and what does 644 permission means???
[Galaxy Ace II General] Reddeer2000:
4 is read

5 is read/execute (execute is always needed for directories)

6 is read/write

7 is read, write, and execute

The first number is Owner, the second is Group, and the third is Other. Thus 644 is

Read/Write Read Read

Best regards

SystemUI mod

I modded by kyrillos13 mod in the SystemUI a bit! ;)

I changed in the SystemUI.apk status_bar_background.png in the opacity and become somewhat transparent, I like. :)

​

How to install:

Safer installation

I succeeded install in recovery!

Requirements:

Rooted phone with antsm's kernel and installed busybox!

Feel free to rename the zip file to shorten... Sorry my bad english...:o
[Galaxy Ace II General] axelroll:

Perhaps this may be tried:

ok, I finally managed to deodex XXLG1 firmware. I did that with an older version of xultimate. But when i try to push files using adb shell, I get stuck in a bootloop. Here's how I do it, see any errors?

adb shell

su

stop

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/

busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

rm /system/app/*.odex

rm /system/framework/*.odex

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

reboot

PS: I didn't use an external sd. I placed done_app +done_frame on internal sd
[Galaxy Ace II General] xXfreshXx:
Hey

I saw a Detail in your and kyrillos screenshot.

How do you get folders in the bottom icons?

Like different browsers and so on...
[Galaxy Ace II General] yod123:
Hey, to deodex firmware I recommend you to use dsixda kitchen! I deodexed XXLG1 without errors! ;)
[Galaxy Ace II General] sdke:
I tried flashing my i8160 with serveral other kernels and basebands..

Orginal baseband: XXLF1

Orginal kernel: XXLF1

Build: XXLF1

Odin said it didn't worked because the md5 hash isn't correct.. But when I check my phone things changed..

Baseband: XXLI2

Kernel: XXLD8

Build: XXLF1

I'll take a long around this evening and see if it's really that version..

EDIT: It only works if the files are already in a .tar ( I only have XXLI2 in .tar) so I tried ZSLG1, made my own .tar but that made my phone crash.. lucky I could use the XXLI2 modem file to make it work again..

EDIT2: I'll stop testing around with the kernels, builds and baseband. I upgraded to XXLH4.

It seems to be the latest (according to sammobile).

http://www.hotfile.com/dl/175583915/230cfdd/I8160XXLH4_I8160OJVLH1_TUR.zip.html

1. Put the phone in download mode (volume down + home + power button)

2. Open Odin

3. In PDA choose the .tar file (extract the zip file)

4. Let it install

5. Reroot your again

I'm busy installing AndroidKitchen and see how I can work with it.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Anyone with a working link to dsixda kitchen? links are broken when i try to download. Appreciate it if you do.
[Galaxy Ace II General] diego-ch:
Does it start in download mode?

If it does then all you need to do is flash stock rom back.
[Galaxy Ace II General] tonus76:
diego can you port your TWRP recovery with clearing binary counter for our phones.
[Galaxy Ace II General] diego-ch:
Twrp is possible, but I can't do anything about the binary counter we'll need ics/jb for that, afaik.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
So no help for someone trying to make his own ROM ... I should've known. So this is how you devs treat newbies. Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy Ace II General] tonus76:
I mean not increase binary counter like Galaxy S Advance:

This method does not increase your binary counter, but your phone needs to be rooted so you can perform this!

IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH DD I RECOMMEND YOU TO AVOID THIS METHOD

1. Extract the attached file twice. You will end up with a kernel.bin.md5 file[/B]

2. Put the kernel.bin.md5 file to /sdcard

3. Start adb shell

4. Do the following commands:

Code:

$ su

# dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

# reboot

5. Wait for the device to reboot.
[Galaxy Ace II General] sdke:
@droine just search for how to make your own rom..

Okay, my kitchen is working. Cant work on it today, maybe friday..

I'll delete all the bloatware, maybe add an ics theme (any one knows a good one?),....
[Galaxy Ace II General] Messi10:

hi, does anyone know how to flash the file modem.bin.md5 of a rom, over another rom?

thank you so much!

Corrado
[Galaxy Ace II General] Adi_Pat:
I am sure you must have flashed the bootloader also, or sbl.bin.

Kernels can't hard brick.
[Galaxy Ace II General] pfbatista:
Hi,

You can use cygwin to make a tar and then put a md5 check.

If you don't know how, send me the files you want, I 'll make them for you.

This is how I do, always worked.

Intructions.:

STEP1(create a tar package): "tar -H ustar -c image_1 image_2 ... > your_odin_package.tar"

e.g. "tar -H ustar -c kernel.bin.md5 > kernel.tar

NOTE: you can add multiple files/images to your tar package.

STEP2(md5sum): "md5sum -t your_odin_package.tar >> your_odin_package.tar"

e.g. "md5sum -t kernel.tar >> kernel.tar

STEP3(add .md5 extension): "mv your_odin_package.tar your_odin_package.tar.md5"

e.g. "mv kernel.tar kernel.tar.md5"

i'm interested in Messi10's JellyCream, and having some tought about installing it

but before, i want to ask:

1. when is the last update for it?

2. i have read the description and so on,but i can't find any explanation about "what doesnt work" on jellycream. does that mean everything works?(except sms that needs patching)

3. how is the performance against the original rom?faster or lighter or something maybe?

i know these questions are old,but i hope still worth asking...
[Galaxy Ace II General] diego-ch:
It's the same thing for the ace2. But as said in the first post. Your phone has to be rooted first to use dd method.

I did my homework. I read all that I have to know in making a ROM. I just can't download the kitchen from github and I don't know why.

PS. What version to use for ace 2?

You can take Camera.apk and flash it through CWM.

Messi10, maybe you should post the instructions of how you did the port. That would be a great help..

btw, I can't open any stock rom with the kitchen. strange, keeps saying there is no system file..

[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Yo can flash messi's system_files to obtain the stock music player. As for the camera, you can try the apk and odex i posted above. I'm not so sure if the odexed camera works on Jellycream though. I'm on the stock ROM with CWM and JellyCream's UI and Framework.

added minfree tweaks for speed and performance

Messi JellyCream CB ROM

I post here the Messi JellyCream rom MOD i use .

All credits to :

Messi10 by the JellyCream ROM

ANT by the recovery

- Fixed:

- APN problem

- SMS ( using the Messi fix)

- Calendar

- Buttons color in same places to better read it

-

Changes:

- Camera to stock camera

- Music to stock music

- Superuser to use ANT recovery

- Model of the ROM (OK , is not a fix)

- Clear and X : I leave X and remove clear.

- how to install :

If you are using the Stock ROM with recovery installed:

1- reboot into recovery

2- wipe data/factory reset

3- wipe cache and dalvik

4- mount data (optional but recommended to prevent mount data fail )

5 Flash STEP1 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ad48boz3z83ja08

5- install rom

6- restart

NOTE : If you don't flash STEP1 you can loose all the notification area.

If you are using the JellyCream rom:

1- reboot into recovery

2- wipe cache and dalvik cache

3- install rom

4- restart

Bugs:

Blinking in the screen off

To fix it go to spare parts and change the anim to fast.

FC changing exchange settings ( I think that is a Jelly bug )

Warning:

i'm not responsible for any damage for your device by flashing this rom you accept this.

This is for GT-I8160 only, it may work on others GT-I8160L and GT-I8160P so flash at your own risk -
