Re: [DISTRO] ☆ ★HELLS-KITCHEN | Ubuntu-Based | ROM Developing Distro★ ☆

I intended it to be a "live" Distro. And for educational purposes to newcomers. This way they can go through the source code and see a full environment and how it works as well. There are sooo many AIO, ready to-go, "push-button" tools out there. For Windows mainly. Building with a lot of the tools already provides no knowledge of packaging or installation. As I wrote in the OP, this is not intended for building your first ROM and then sharing it immediately. There is still much to add and change to this. Which when I release the stable version, there will be more information included and more for the newcomer to work with.

There will be a 32-bit distro and a straight Debian-based distro as well coming soon.

I also hope to split the HELLS-KITCHEN into a separate "noob" and a separate "dev" distro.

Thank you for your concern, as I share it with you and I do not want people that have no knowledge of android/linux building ROMs without knowing the process.

This distro was first built for someone in a class I am teaching to build ROMs. I volunteer my time to teach and help out about 15 new developers, and teach a daily class (2 three hour classes a day). I take them through the whole process that I am familiar with. I help them setup a development environment, all the way to building a ROM and using git.

Thank you thewadegeek for your input. I am honored to receive it :)

Re: [DISTRO] ☆ ★HELLS-KITCHEN | Ubuntu-Based | ROM Developing Distro★ ☆

I am using caps so other people will read this. Not for you SiNtEnEl.

I DO NOT WANT ANYONE STARTING A MIRROR yet. Just because it is a beta distro. I need to know and be able to keep a record of downloads for stats on the "bug-report" and "pastebin" page I am building.

This is open source, so I cannot demand it, but would appreciate it if nobody did during beta stages.

This will help me and whoever else is involved build a better distro.

I will mirror and torrent this distro tonight. Please take down any mirrors please.

Thank you for bringing this up.

I couldn't have said it better myself. That is exactly what I was trying to say, but it did not come out right.

Once I get into the Beta "teens" (like beta12, etc) I would really like it of you helped me out. If you have the time. It won't be for a week or so, but I will need the help. I have also received a request from scrosler pertaining to getting together with me on this Distro. I have not ever seen an Android Distro, and hopefully this will go viral and start something new.

Thanks again brother!!!

Re: [DISTRO] ☆ ★HELLS-KITCHEN | Ubuntu-Based | ROM Developing Distro★ ☆

The OpenJDK 6 and 7 are both included and setup for Android Development.

The Sun/Oracle JDK 6 is still awaiting some confirmation and permissions. I cannot include it with out finishing this research and making sure I have a better understanding of the laws.I have found out a lot about the whole Java/Ubuntu issues over the past month. But, I still need a few questions answered that are awaiting.

Now, if you are installing this to a hard drive it a virtual hard drive (like VirtualBox, etc.), then I have instructions for you on the best and easiest way to install the sun-java-6 and jdk/jre to this distro.

If anyone is interested on installing the sun-java packages and purging/removing the OpenJDK packages, please contact me here or by PM so I can get you a tutorial that I rewrote especially for this distro (for the time being until I can work something out).

If you are just building ROMs and kernels with dsixda's android-kitchen and kernels with championswimmer's kernel-tools, you do not need to use the sun-java version of the JDK and JRE. OpenJDK works perfectly fine for using these tools.

If you are building AOSP from source, there are instances where the sun-java JDK/JREs are needed. This distro is not completely setup for compiling from source as a "live" distro. So you will be perfectly fine with the OpenJDK as your source of java if you are not compiling certain AOSP from source.

I know everyone likes to use the sun-java packages as default, but until I get more info, we will be stuck using the OpenJDK.

I personally have it setup for personal use with the sun-java packages, but cannot distribute it as a part of this distro until I have confirmation directly from Sun/Oracle. I don't want to take any changes with it on Ubuntu. Now the Debian distro that will be released in the next couple of days, might be a different story.

Thanks for taking the time to help test this distro. Once we get more downloads, and have more testing, we will have a very solid and stable build. It is stable already, but I want it to be even more stable. I have registered with DistroWatch and I am hoping to have bit listed very soon.

Re: [DISTRO] ☆ ★HELLS-KITCHEN | Ubuntu-Based | ROM Developing Distro★ ☆

Thank you for your time and I am glad you enjoy it.

The way that the distro is made, it only permits certain sizes and I do not want to make it too big. So it will be a different download. I am getting up to speed on building update .deb packages for the live distro so you all can update them without having to download a new distro every time.

Most likely, all of the betas will not have this feature to update (like I was talking about above).

But keep checking: http://android-kitchen.com/h311skitchen for new distros and updates.

Just an UPDATE on Upcoming Releases...

I will be releasing the next Ubuntu 12.04 x64 (Beta_6) on

Monday

.

I will also be releasing an Ubuntu 12.10 x32 (Alpha*, but very stable) on

Tuesday

.

I will also be releasing Debian Versions (Alphas**, but very stable) of HELLS-KITCHEN in both x32 and x64 on either

Tuesday or Wednesday

.

I wanted to get some feedback concerning the upcoming Debian Releases. I wanted to know what the general consensus was regarding "Squeeze" vs. "Wheezy". Which would be preferred. And possibly an explanation for your choice.

Please help me and this Distro out by putting in your two cents. It takes me 5 hours to upload each and every Distro, so I always like to make sure that what I am uploading is something that Community is going to want.

Disk Space: 100GB

Bandwidth: 12000GB

I wanted to be able to do all of my work, and have a place for the other Admins on the project to be able to come together and work for free. So now we can. Any donations at the moment will go towards paying for the Server's monthly costs. Please try going to http://Android-Kitchen.com before going to AndroidFilehost.com and let me know what your download speeds are and how they differ, so I can try and improve things.

Re: [DISTRO] ☆ ★HELLS-KITCHEN | Ubuntu-Based | ROM Developing Distro★ ☆

I am going to be working on that too. The biggest issue will be having to backup and wiping out one of his laptops or desktops for the 32-bit. But once that's done, it shouldn't take too long with the video tutorials he left me.

I will be releasing an alpha for the x32 most likely and we will have to see where it goes. Once h311s gets back, he can fine tune it.

I am gonna check the polls to figure out which base would be the "Most Wanted" and then build the x32 on it. I will be finalizing the builds on one of his VPSs so I can distribute it faster.

I just got stuck with his Server/VPS/VPN bills too, so I gotta figure all that out too. They won't get shutdown because I will pay for them, but I didn't know about all of them until about an hour ago. Lol.

So just stick with me for a couple of days while I figure this all out. I will be working on HELLS-KITCHEN while I am doing all this though, so some sorry. There shouldn't be much of a delay.

I'm back guys. Have been for a little while, but unfortunately life had to take priority to my projects this time around. I have started working on an Ubuntu 13.04 x32 and a Debian Wheezy x64 distro.

As much as I would like everyone to use completely "Stable" OS Bases (ie: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Debian Squeeze), everyone wants the newer stuff. I am glad to make these builds, but I will have to say that they will be as stable as the official releases from the OS. Meaning I will be making them Development Ready, but that I will not be able to add any fixes to the OS's themselves. Therefore, they will be as stable as the official releases.

So, in a nutshell, if Wheezy is not 100% working for you, or Raring is giving you issues (the official builds you download and try out from Ubuntu and Debian sites) stick with the LTS's and the stable Debian HELLS-KITCHENS when you download a HELLS-KITCHEN Release.

-h311sdr0id
[Android] h311sdr0id:
P.S.

The "Beta" Builds are ALL Stable Builds. I trying to follow a certain release cycle and because the HELLS-KITCHEN distro has been in "Beta", doesn't mean its not stable. Just means I will be releasing a "Stable" build later on with maybe a few extra things. But as far as stability now, the "Beta" builds are stable and I use them on a USB stick often. And I have another installed in dual boot on one of my machines as a daily driver.

So don't hesitate to download and use them. They work great. And they are universally working on many machines right now. I eben have a friend who builds "Build-Boxes" using the HELLS-KITCHEN as his base for installation and sales.

Good deal.... Glad you are back and hope you are doing better.

If/when you have time, you oughtta check out ubuntugnome.org. It's a newer, pretty decent official Ubuntu release with Gnome 3.6 as opposed to the Unity setup of Official Ubuntu. I have been running their Raring release for about 4 days and I am quite happy with it. I'm out of town working right now, but I have a little time in the evenings to play around. If you need a hand with anything, just PM and we can work.

Thank you. I like the fact that people are able to see a properly setup environment so they can study it/reverse engineer it for their own knowledge.

Updating is just like any other distro. If its live, it will erase any updates on the next reboot. If installed to a HDD or a USB drive with persistence, then you can update it with synaptic (or whatever you prefer) and they will go through the process normally and save. In regards to updating the tools (ie: dsixda's android-kitchen, apktool, etc), I am still working on setting up shop for some type of repo/source/server to mirror any updates I build for HELLS-KITCHEN. As for now, you will have to update manually.
