I really didn't want to reply and would rather just see this threa die, but I just gotta...

In the "kitchen" thread, there's a quote under the big disclaimer sign:

"This is a compilation of different packages and OS builds from this forum. I take no credit for providing the components. All I'm doing is putting it together for others to use."

I have used the Core Kitchen, and appreciate the work that's gone into assembled it and the great scripts used to automate the process. I personally don't use it daily, but only when I need to extract the contents of an .nb file.

Heck, I'd like to build a nice VB GUI to wrap everything up into one clean UI, but I only have so much time. One person can only do so much, and i'm all for "see a need, fill a need" as a line from one of my favorite cartoon movies.

There has been a need to consolidate things, and that's what I feel has been the most need. By presenting things as they have, it's allowed a great number of people to contribute and improve the OS and OEM packages.

Now as for others using available kitchen tools (whoever's that might be) to post their own builds - good on ya! Because in trying it out, you'll most likely find bugs who's fixes will get worked back into the system. If that wasn't the intent of the kitchen architechs, then they shouldn't have let them be publicly accessible.

Plus it let's others have a greater variety of roms to choose from.

I want to see this forum work together - not as a bunch of knowledge hording glory hogs. If that was how it was, I'd have never posted nearly 900 posts trying to make things better for everyone.

Now it's off the soap-box and back to touchflo ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] papamopps:
Yes - areal clean work and not a recooked baserom with packages made by others.

I really think the same - there have been some real "chefs" after faria and molski - they were DEVELOPING.

But now many people are - USING this knownledge.

And of course it is great to have such a mount of possible roms. But i can understand every rom"creator" who is pissed off by questions like: "why didn´t you put smsdr.fix" or "why did you put 10 button commmanager" etc.

Thats why i prefer clean roms. I´m not a cooker not even a creator. So I take a clean rom and install all what I need.

And really only I.

Thanks for all the possibilities - but i in normal day shopping prefer small shops -not shoppingmalls.

lol

The mods are watching to see where this goes. I don't know that there is an easy solution to this, but we'll have to try something. It's getting hard to find info and do any "developing" when you have to scroll past one hundred different kitchens and ROM's to get to the really good topics.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ExploreMN:
Well Scotch, I guess there is something seriously wrong with me then. I mean I've been a network engineer for over 18 years and am actually good at what I do. Computers and technology are not THAT foreign to me...although I never got into cell phones. My first cell phone was a Treo 600 about 2 years ago.

Anyway, I downloaded all the kitchen files I found from Matt's link and I couldn't figure out jack. I didn't even know where to start. I tried running what looked like a windows exe/gui and it just crashed. I checked out the BAT file and that didn't offer any insight.

So...I guess I need to stick with server and internet security or get a little hand-holding from someone with more experience. :confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] the-equinoxe:
To be honest: some new kitchens have a variant of my splash screen tools in it.

If there is a splash screen tool present, it will use my tools, only with rewritten batch files, and different menu structure.

I am glad I don't have to hex-edit my way through a new splash-screen again..

Same as the first tool I wrote (patched up) for this forum, a nb2nbf for wizard, so you don't have to change OS address manually anymore, it has returned in a slightly different shape.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] scotch whisky:
This is my point exactly! I just used Pandora kitchen to "tailor" my wizard for my own use. I did not add any value so see no point in publishing it on these forums.

Admittedly I spent a good few hours reading the forums before I plucked up the courage to unlock my Wizard and flash my first ROM and then nearly had a heart attack when it stopped at 99% for what seemed like ages.

Maybe its because I know nothing about computers (I'm a Builder!) that I found the time to read the forums first.

My Wizard is now completely stable and does exactly what I want.

Matt (and you other real cooks and chefs) keep up the good work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] :
Ok, my languague abilities may be not enough to say, what i am thinking about..

Msg:

You released kitchens, what were you expecting doing this.

Elite men made this forum, elite men made tools, elite men made freedom possible, realize, that nobody will forget, who is who.

Let people have some fun, masters, you are deserved for some rest, there's many users here, some conscious, some not. Everyone should have chance to have fun, now.

btw..

(lack of your knowledge + newbie enthusiasm can make miracles, BUT it is kind of random effect)

go to "12 steps" flashers topic, if problems occur. Being tired is natural.

one thing: lack of REMOVE own post/topic option is pain in the ass here; so better vote for it, nor WM06 new builds bad clima crusade...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] anichillus:
Ok, so i read my post about 5 times and i still can't understand why you think it was meant to flame guys that use kitchens . I really didn't intended it that way but flame those guys that don't read, ask tons of questions and expect free "open your mouth so i can feed you" guides so later they can brag with their success of finally making a rom.

I wrote this :

So you see that i have nothing against serious guys that really are into this thing. And of course that with current kitchens, mostly all people can build ROMs, but come up with something new is little more tricky. Also i am not the adept of lots and lots of sequels, not in movies and not in developing business either.

Please don't get me wrong. Some of you guys know that i'm an cool guy, and with very little exceptions, you can read my whole posts and make sure of that. I only lost temper about 2 posts in over 900, and trust me that after you spend here enough time, and read plenty of posts, you will understand better why.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Whiterat:
I think I may have the solution here....

PPFs, Anyone familiar with this?

They were originally used to patch large amounts of data in playstation games back in the scene, now most commonly used in the patching of large ISOs (OSx86, Vista,etc).

It allows for files to be added, removed, altered,etc and simply saves all the changes in 1 nice PPF file (PPF patchers are also multi platform).

This way there could be several pinned topics with Each base rom and the cooker simply creates a PPF for it.

I also think a "ROM Layout" post should be standardised i.e the topic title:

Then the post could be laid out nicely too, e.g

Release Name: WM6 'SteelX'

Base Rom: mUn 5.2.1413

Modules Added:

VoIP

VoIPOS

Modules Removed:

ApproveUpdate

SQM

SQLCE

Modules Replaced:

-none-

OEMApps Added:

"Camera"="3_00_25498_AKU20"

"Tao Java"="11_1_7_1023"

Custom Tweaks:

Added HTC_DEFAULT Black Theme

SD Power Management Battery Life Tweak

Download PPF:

http://www.somesite.com/ppf.ppf

Just my idea, I love nice clean layouts lol!

And maybe some noob shooting policy?

1st strike = Warning

2nd strike = 5 day ban

3rd strike = Final Ban

Again just brain storming....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] zoki:
Does HTC inform you like this when new rom comes out?

You simply know which rom you use which no.

If molski or mun release new rom for wizard I'll delete mine and use their.

You're story just leads nowhere....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Whiterat:
You know they dont, but that is no reason at all for us not to keep posts clean here.

This makes no difference to what/how people decide which rom to use, it will still clearly state the pros/cons over other releases.

Thats you're choice.

That is your opinion, I am entitled to mine to.

You're argument against my last post really doesnt stand.

I am giving (In my opinion) good advice based upon my experiences of managing large forums.

The FTP is kept very organised so there is no reason that releases on the forum cannot be kept in the same way.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobderDritte:
Hello

When I bought the oneplus it was shipped with cm11s an I had not a single problem with Touchscreen or keyboard. I changed the romd , tried all kinds of.

No I am facing a keyboard input problem with all kitkat roms. I want to try miui or cos but with all of them I get the same result: can't type fast the keyboards are kind of slow and laggy...

I tried everything.

I tried different original cm 11 roms and different firmwares and touch problem exists. With lollipop ROMs 5.0 or 5.1 no problem

Any idea would be appreciated

Thx guys
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobderDritte:
Any idea ?

It is not hardware related. For example.. It works right now with exodus ROM like a charm..

Do I need maybe a 4.4 modem ? Something else?

Anybody ?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpvlog:
So my market finally got spark about a week ago. As happy as I was hear that I have found nothing but problems and was wondering if this was the case for anyone else.

I used to get 4 or 5 bars of LTE with very good throughput but now that spark is here I am having trouble staying locked in and it mostly falls into 3G. Is this a common issue? Is it possible to disable spark and stick with plain old LTE?

Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcmanager:
My exact same experience of spark. On the note 4. [emoji36]
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Either of you guys tried getting MSL and ##3282#/edit/LTE/Band priority:

Change priority 1 to 3 (respectively) to 41,26,25? IMO, this should default for all Sprint Spark enabled phones.

Also, update PRL and data profile if you haven't. But that may also undo some of your roaming or other temporary settings concerning radio.

Sprint hasn't denied my MSL requests.

Hi everyone. My mobile data isn't working. I was on euphoria 5-30 and was working great, but decided to change it up. Tried dirty unicorns, didn't like it, data was fine. I started flashing, chroma then aosip and then the latest euphoria. My data doesn't work. Everything else is fine, but my cell signal icon has a little exclamation mark and I have no internet. I restored my euphoria 5-30 and it still doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched and found nothing of the like.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew.johnson42:
I had to restore to complete stock, copy the APN that worked, and input it on whatever ROM I use. Pretty sure the APN will be your issue. I think there's already a few posts about it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idle0095:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkevin94:
Thanks, both of you. I tried that, didn't work. A friend had the same issue and fixed it by registering through the network operator setting. That also did not work. I ended up flashing another radio out of desperation, and it worked. ?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike_n_ike:
I just came from an s4 to a g4 and the sound quality of my music isn't as good as my previous phone. I use spotify and I noticed lg doesn't have an equalizer built in to the app like samsung does. So now my music sounds flat, and when I use 3rd party equalizers they fail when the app closes or even if I skip a song. So every time I skip a song I have to open the app again which is very annoying. Is there any way around this? Music quality is very important to me and my s4 was fine without any of this hassle.

[Sony Xperia ZR] aryaban2011:
Okay. My phone had a problem like this for like 3 days. I would just wobble the usb cable or move it up a bit it would charge again like normal but if I moved it back to its position a bit...It would stop charging.

Now.

Today I see the phone's battery is out and its not charging AT ALL. Like moving the usb cable dosen't work. Tried all cables and chargers but still won't work.

I decided to keep the phone in charge for a night and when I came back I see that it has overheated a freaking lot like I can't even touch the phone and the screen has cracked a bit.

What to do?
[Sony Xperia ZR] hagar006:
Service center brother... If you are still under warranty, good... If no, well... Also you might want to check your charger.. Did you use the original for your phone?
[Sony Xperia ZR] aryaban2011:
Yes I did.

[Amazon Fire Phone] MortaLPortaL:
I just reinstalled my firmware and it was working fine. now all of a sudden I cannot exit any apps with the home button. sometimes the phone hangs and I cannot close anything without a hard reboot.

Some apps do not fit on the screen properly either(textra, puzzle and dragons.). No idea why since they ran fine on my moto g(which was also 720p.).

I have no idea what to do. I really don't want to do another reset. Sometimes xposed force closes, or black screens on me.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Bingo Bronson:
You reinstalled the OS and made some significant changes as well (Xposed and what else?). The MotoG is a "completely" different device, it runs an almost stock Android OS.

Have you changed the build.prop? Apps not fitting on the screen can be caused by the build.prop containing an ID, that suggests a different screen res. / ratio / density, etc.

I would suggest reverting the changes (one by one and reboot between) you made with Xposed modules until it changes back to a stable state.

(You didn't give much information about your system or which apps you already installed, so I can only speculate what causes the errors)
[PAC Q&A] unit_shifter:
ME: I am a phone idiot, my first cellphone at all was last fall and I don't know anything, so apologies in advance if I say dumb things because everything is new to me including smartphones themself.

THE PHONE: AT&T unlocked Samsung Galaxy S1 i897 Captivate, not currently activated/no SIM if that matters. Trying to insure it works rooted on kit kat without bricking BEFORE getting the phone back into service.

THE ROM: pac_captivatemtd-nightly-20150124

FWIW i tried kingo-root and it didnt work despite supposing to, used something called Odin v1.85 instead. Flashed I897UCKF1-AutoRoot-DesignGears.tar for Odin, and something called CornKernel UCKK4v705.tar for custom recovery.. Then the Pac-man ROM. I'll note with interest it refused to see the SD card on reboots, had to use internal storage. Didn't quite understand what to do with the gapps [which it wont let me link here i see] fwiw other than copying it onto the phone somewhere. All reboots seem to get back to a working install - but then I can't do anymore more with it.

It accepts wifi login stuff for local connection but I cant get it to log into the Google Play store stuff. I get "unable to connect to google servers", the button to connect to the google account doesn't work/you can hit it a hundred times and it does nothing until you skip past it, and comments about google services framework crashing, google play services crashing, google account manager crashing...

How do I start narrowing down where the problem is, is this about Pac Man rom or the GAPPS or something for a samsung captivate-specific subforum?
[LG Optimus G Pro] mshimpi:
Guys,

Please let me know if anyone has any information about latest CM 12.1 nightly for e980. The last build was taken on 0601 and nothing after that.

-Mesh
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrmcshagbag:
My only guess is the maintainer is on vacation or had an emergency of some sort.
[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
The latest build is pretty decent IMO. We will just have to wait and see when an update comes. It will come most likely. They could be trying to iron out major bugs they overlooked or something. We just have to wait and see what happens.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mshimpi:
Actually, I always try to build it locally and it's is broken. It says 'touchpanel_sysfs is undefined'.

I realize that it's in these 3 files, which gets generated during compilation (I guess)

cm12.1/out/target/product/e980/obj/ETC/sepolicy_intermediates/policy.conf

cm12.1/out/target/product/e980/obj/ETC/sepolicy_intermediates/policy.conf.dontaudit

cm12.1/out/target/product/e980/obj/ETC/sepolicy.recovery_intermediates/policy_recovery.conf

After defining the variable, the compilation went smooth and I got the build. BUT my phone would not boot with it. I had to roll back to the previous working build.

So, I'm guessing it's nothing to do with any major change or update.

Anyways, if anyone could build the latest code and get it working on their phone, I'm very much interested in knowing how :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bankir:
My Note4 was updated to Lollipop about 2 weeks ago and it was running ok until 3 days ago where it keeps on restarting, freezing up, not responsive etc.

The last application that I installed was "FACEBOOK GROUP" but I'm sure this isn't the problem because of the factory reset as explained below.

I have done a factory reset, but I reinstalled all the applications (except Facebook Group), but the problem still persists. It even restarting without it's being touched. Per day, it could restart up to 15 times.

Most of the problem appears when the phone goes into an idle state and won't turn on unless I do a battery pull (like Blackberry).

But sometimes it would respond from the idle state after a 20-30 seconds.

I did find an article that the motion and gestures are causing the unresponsive issue, in which I have followed and disabled all the motion and gestures, this doesn't help. Problem persists.

I have talked to the Samsung Tech support and they told me that I would have to bring it to the service center in Singapore (I live in Jakarta) and they would need to diagnose it. I did mentioned that I want a new phone but they said that they don't have exchange policy. This is really bad because Iphone has an exchange policy, why doesn't Samsung have one too??

Anyone in Singapore maybe have the same issue? or have a knowledge about the exchange policy?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
Have you tried uninstalling Facebook Group from your Note 4? It seems to me that the Facebook Group App must be causing some sort of problem with your Note 4.

UPDATE 1 :

I uninstalled DU Speed Booster, and the problem seems to be better, but still hangs after unplugging from charger.

Does anyone use DU Speed Booster with Lollipop?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
OK, seems like DU Speed Booster may have messed with the system settings of your phone somehow. Are you using the stock firmware that came with your Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bankir:
Yes sir, it is the stock rom.. and it's not rooted. Still original except that it has been updated to Lollipop.

Uninstalling DU Speed Booster seems to make it a little better, but occasionally it still freezes and restart but it's not as many times as before.

If the system setting has been messed up, then I will do another hard reset tonight and see if that would fix the issue. I'm tired of waiting for the phone to come alive after idle or when it restarts by itself.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bankir:
UPDATE 2 :

I did a factory reset last night and left it to sleep while it was updating stock applications (I have not installed any of my application).

This morning when I woke up. I couldn't turn on the phone. It was frozen and it has a solid red LED light on the top left. This happens quite frequently before too. So I'm not sure what the issue is. Btw, my note 4 is the first batch. Bought it when it first came out.

I had to take the battery out and started the update again.

Then it got restarted when I tried to swipe my finger to enter the homepage.

Why doesn't Samsung give an exchange policy? their rival Apple does..
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
Yeah, I think you need to return your device to Samsung for repairs. As for why Samsung doesn't have a exchange policy, because retailer's tend to have a exchange policy where if they can't fix your device they will replace it with another one. Since retailer's give you a 1 year standard retailer's warranty with the purchase of any electronic device. Apple has a exchange policy, because as well as being a device manufacturer they are also a retailer for their own devices.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bankir:
My Note 4 has been a lot better since I reseated the SD Card. I did that before too.

I'm starting to think that my SD Card was not reseated properly causing the system to hang / freeze.

As of now, I think the culprit is the SD Card.. I will monitor and update again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bankir:
I think I posted too quicky.

The problem still persists, so it is not the 'reseating' of the SD Card.

I notice though, the problem with hanging, restarting, MOSTLY occurs when the battery is less than 40%. And sometimes, it won't even start / turn on even after I take out the battery. But when it is succeeded, sometimes, it would come out with the message (shown in the attachment). Every time this comes out, I have to take out the battery and wait 30+ seconds before trying again.

I really don't know what is the problem with the phone and this phone is bought overseas. Local Samsung Store can't fix it because they don't have the base band or software.

Please note that this phone has never been dropped / root. I have taken care of it carefully.

I'm really disappointed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
It does seem like a hardware error either with the internal memory chip or the battery. You could try replacing the battery to see if that would fix the problem, I doubt that would work. But I would prefer to just send it back to Samsung for repairs as they have the equipment to fix the problem.

Alternatively you could install Kies 3 from the Samsung website onto your computer and use that to do a firmware reinstall of your Note 4 and see if that helps. If that doesn't work then you really don't have much of a choice other than sending back to Samsung for repairs.
