This is so sweat, thank you very much and may god bless people all around the world. Thank my parents and younger brother, my loved one and all friends, thank you !
Thanx man, thanxgiving
Hey people! This is my first post here, but I've been watching this place for over 3 years now. Primarily a Mac developer, but switched from iOS to Android even before ICS came out. I own an HTC Aria and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (also one of those iCuttingBoards that apple makes).
This is just a zip file with all the files modified for the HTC Aria. Works great with that last EGL-enabled build of the CM9 rom in WinSuk's thread (I need 10 posts to thank him!?!? wtf?).
Here are instructions for rooted users:
1) Download the zip.
2) Unpack and you'll see the system folder with its hierarchies.
3) Open up Terminal (i'm a Mac) or cmd.exe (Windows).
4) adb push <my_unzipped_folder_here>/system/framework/android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar
5) adb push <my_unzipped_folder_here>/system/usr/keylayout/ /system/usr/keylayout/
6) Reboot!
7) ENJOY!
The HTC Aria with CM9 + EGL, and this mod makes it a seriously amazing phone (arguably far better than stock. it runs faster than my iCuttingBoard 1st gen too!)

Seriously crippled my Aria running MunJeni's CM9 4.0.4 ROM.
The hard buttons wouldn't work, and lots of other stuff broken.
Is this intended to be loaded into ICS or CM7?
Yeah. Just flashed munjeni's ROM... not fun. I'll release a new version as this one was meant for WinSuk's ROM.

Thanks for checking and for the work on this!
I'm probably asking a silly question, but what exactly is the multitasking button supposed to look like and what's it supposed to do?
I can press and hold the home screen for app switching, so I'm curious about what this button does and what advantage it offers.
.
Oh, this just takes the ICS Multitasking (the Recent apps) which the HOME PRESS + HOLD brings you, and puts that on the search button, which I've never used. Ever. Ever in the history of ever. So i'd love to have easier access to the multitasking.
P.S. does anyone know how to make this a flashable CWM zip?
Hmm awesome man..:thumbup:

QUESTIONS?? ASK HERE!!
Hi!!
This thread is made specifically for noobs and newbies owning X8 or W8.
X8 and W8 are pretty much the same device, i.e. ROMs and kernels are flashable on both.
We created this thread because other F.A.Q threads had stopped their updates. So it would mean a lot if we continue their work.
Firstly, I had to thank everybody that helped me to finish this project.

There are 3 main sections in this thread:
Section I: F.A.Q
Section II: Easy Guides
Section III: External Links
Let's get started!!
-----------------------------------
............................................
Section I: Frequently Asked Questions
............................................
Frequently Asked Questions About Rooting
............................................
Q: What is rooting?
A: Rooting is a process allowing users of mobile phones, tablet PCs, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem. In simpler terms, what rooting does is push the su binary to your phone's system partition so that you have root access i.e. you can access system, data and all other partitions you couldn't access before.
............................................
Frequently Asked Questions About Bootloader
............................................
Q: What is bootloader?
A: In simple terms, a bootloader is the code that runs on a device before the operating system starts up. This low-level code contains the instructions that tell a device how to start up and find the system kernel. Every time your phone starts up, that bootloader code is telling your device what to do in order to get you to the home screen. As you can imagine, this process is vitally important. As such, manufacturers often use security measures to keep you from tampering with the bootloader.
Q: Why Is the Bootloader locked?
A: A bootloader is usually locked on an Android device because although it’s an open source OS, the manufacturers want you to stick to their Android OS version specifically designed for the device. In order to apply this concept, manufacturers lock the bootloader.
Think of it this way:
New kernel = New ROM = Unlocked bootloader.
Locked bootloader = No new kernel = No new ROM.
Q: What are the benefits of unlocking the bootloader?
A: Unlocking the bootloader will make your device able to load a custom kernel resluting in a 2x faster and better feature rich device. Also you can experience newer Android versions such as ICS and JB that require a custom kernel.
Q: Oh, I get that but what exactly is a kernel?
A: It basically is a piece of code that makes the hardware and the software communicate with each-other. It is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. It contains the essential init sequence in the ramdisk, without which you wouldn't be able to boot the phone.
Q: How do I unlock bootloader? Am I safe to unlock it?
A: Read Section II below!
Q: The date under the battery says 11w29 or later, what can I do?
A: There's currently no safe solution for you. Although there have been some members who had successfully unlocked their bootloader having 11w29 and a later date but it's extremely NOT recommended to try. For now you can only install a custom ROM. However some members have reported success with third party paid methods. You can try that but it's your decision and we can't help you if you brick the phone permanently.
Q: Will PC Companion lock the bootloader?
A: No, it won't. It will restore stock kernel and ROM but it will not relock the bootloader.
............................................
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Phone
............................................
Q: What is a recovery (xRecovery, ClockWorkMod Recovery)?
A: It is basically a console which you can access before the phone has booted up completely. It allows you to install packages such as Custom ROMs or custom mods, make a FULL backup of your curret system, wipe user data, cache and much more.
Q: Our phone supports swap if a custom kernel is installed! What is it?
A: Swapping means that you take a part of your free card's storage and use it as a virtual memory in order to have slightly better memory. Don't confuse it with RAM. Swap just holds pages which would otherwise have been held by RAM, thus saving more RAM for other apps.
Q: What does bricking the phone mean?
A: Bricking the phone means that something went wrong when you tried to flash (install) something or that simply you did something stupid because you didn't read enough and your phone ended up not booting up till the home screen or not showing any signs of life. So it has literally become a brick. There are two kinds of brick: The soft brick; your phone can easily be revived by using Sony PC Companion. Happens when incorrectly flashing a ROM or mod. The hard brick; your phone cannot be revived with PC Companion and you will have to send it off to Sony Ericsson for repair.
Q: Can I have multitouch if I install custom ROM?
A: If you have Synaptics digitizer you can use fake pinch-to-zoom by Doixanh.
If you have Cypress digitizer you can use real dual touch by AnDyX.
Q: How to know do I have Cypress or Synaptics digitizer?
A: The easy way is to check is to use the x8toolbox (modules>check digitizer) The other way is to open terminal emulator and type:
su
dmesg | grep cyttsp-i2c
If you have this"cyttsp_i2c_probe: Successful registration cyttsp-i2c" you have Cypress. If not, you have Synaptics.
Q: Is our device MDPI or HDPI?
A: Our device is MDPI which means 320x480 resolution (HVGA). HDPI are high-end devices with resolution 480x800 or more.
But our device can use HDPI themes after changing the LCD Density. This may result in some parts not working correctly, though.
Q: My battery is draining fast. What should I do?
A: Original words by the legendary Doixanh himself...
- Close as more apps as you can, and as frequently as you can. Background apps may use CPU, and that will consume battery
- Reboot after you finish using Wifi/3G. There are many background network services, like Maps, Market, Email, Facebook... They try to connect to their servers (and take some CPU usage) even after you disconnect from network. Reboot to make everything fresh.
- Reboot after listening to Music. Music service is running in background even after you stop the music and sometimes use CPU. Reboot to make everything fresh.
- Don't use live wallpapers. They're high CPU consumers.
- The less screen widgets, the better. Less widgets use less CPU, which will save battery.
Q: I have a little of ram free... is this bad?
A: Actually, this is not bad. It doesn't matter how much of RAM is available. The important thing is how much of CPU a specific app uses.
In Linux terminology (as CAD, pilu1978 and several others have stated)
Free RAM = Wasted RAM.
Q: Phone model differences??
A: X8 = E15i/E15a
W8 = E16i
Q: Will "Factory reset" unroot my phone? (from xRecovery and CWM)
A: No. Factory reset will erase all your user data and settings, wipe your cache and dalvik cache.
So, if you're doing Factory reset, you should back up your stuff.
Q: What's the difference between "Install update.zip" and "Install custom.zip in xRecovery and CWM?
A: update.zip just automatically flashes a ZIP file named "update.zip" on the root of the sd card while choosing "Install custom zip, you have to choose file by yourself.
Q: What is the usefulness of an ext3 partition on the SD memory for applications?
How to create a partition?
A: You can make a partition in your SD for example of 1gb EXT3 only for apps, you can make it with Minitool partition wizard home edition (its free).
In ext3 the apps are fully saved in the SD (.apk, dalvik cache and data) and you can liberate more space in the disk than app2sd.
Q: What is USB Debugging option in Settings for?
A: It is intended for development purposes only. Use it to transfer data between your device and the computer, install apps on your device without notification, and read log data. It is also required when you are flashing a kernel with flashtool.
Q: Can't mount SD card to PC. What should I do?
A: Configure swap to disable itself when you want to connect to your PC.
Q: Can't overclock to the desired frequency without having reboots, what's the problem?
A: The max frequency which your X8 can get is device-specific. It's not a general standard. Try with different ones till your phone can handle it. But never overclock beyond 806MHz - it may be harmful.
Q: Does iPhone headphones & earphones work on X8?
A: No, they don't work. The headphones & earphones have three bands. Our phone only support two bands. If you really want it, you need a adapter to use it.
Q: I'm stuck at Sony Ericsson bootlogo! What should I do?
A: You need to unbrick it from a soft brick. See this thread.
............................................
Frequently Asked Questions About ROMs & Kernels
............................................
Q: What is a custom ROM?
A: A stock ROM (Read Only Memory) is the version of the phone's operating system that comes with your phone when you buy it. A custom ROM is a fully stand alone version of the OS, including apps, services and everything you need to operate the device, except it's customized by someone in some way. So what does the "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.
Q: Is it possible to boot two different OSes (operating systems) on our device?
A: No, our device can run only Android but you can haveLOOK HERE
Q: Why custom 2.2 ROMs have problems with Bluetooth headsets?
A: It's a bug in cm6 source, so if you need to use a Bluetooth headset, please use other Android versions.
Q: Is it possible to fully port Sense, Touchwiz, Windows or others to X8?
A: No. It's impossible... but their phones if you want..
And the widgets and apps need the appropriate framework to run... So you could use look-alike widgets, apps, and themes!
Try searching in Play Store and XDA.
Q: What is the best ROM or kernel?
A: NEVER ASK THAT QUESTION.
The system operates based on how you're using it. Every user has different needs, therefore different experience. Try multiple ROMs or kernels and decide YOURSELF!
Q: Can't find the Play Store app after flashing a new ROM?
A: You need to add your Google acount. Finish all the steps and it will appear. If not, flash Gapps from the ROM thread.
Q: I can't do ...... on this ROM, what's the problem?
A: Some ROMs are still under contruction and it would have bugs. That's normal. Wait till the developer fixes them and don't ask for ETAs.
Q: I have a custom ROM with stock kernel, but dualtouch isn't working at all. How to make it work?
A: If you're using a custom ROM like GingerDX, you need to install the addons for stock kernel.
OR
Maybe your phone has a cypress digitizer and almost all ROMs have synaptics enabled. Check x8toolbox and verify what digitizer your x8 has.
............................................
Frequently Asked Questions About Apps & Mods
............................................
Q: What is the smoothest and fastest launcher for our phone?
A: Hard to tell, but Launcher Pro and Zeam are fast. 360 Launcher is smooth too.
Q: Why ROMs above Android 2.1's camera is VGA limited?
A: Developers just modified Eclair's camera libs to work with Gingerbread ROMs.
Q: Where are apps from app2sd saved?
A: Into .android.secure folder on your SD card, which is hidden.
You can see that folder with Root Explorer or PC.
Q: Can we have a flash player on our X8?
A: Yes, it had been ported to work on our device!
- Flash Player 11 and 10.3
Q: What is terminal emulator?
A: It's an app which emulates Linux terminal. You can install it from market if you are on 2.1, in custom ROM it is already included.
Q: Which SYSTEM apps are safe to remove on stock ROM?
A: Timescape, Facebook, PlayNow, Maps, CA Gold, Crazy Penguin, Creatouch, GeoTags, RoadSync, RollerSync, Tower Bloxx NY, TrackID, Wisepilot, Navigator, User Support, User Guide, Email, Backup and Restore, Music R2R Client, Gmail.
Q: I get music player lags on custom ROMs. What should I do?
A: You can try to change SD card read cache back to avoid hickups.
You can download SD-Booster from Play Store and set a certain higher value.
Q: Volume is too low for me, how can I make it louder?
A: If you're using Gingerbead you can use DSPmanager to increase overall volume. You can also try other music player which has built-in EQ.You can try changing your MP3s volume using MP3 gain for Windows.You can also try Volume Boost program from Market.
Q: Reduced image quality in Gallery 3D?
A: Android Gallery (3D) reduces background gradients for faster viewing...
You can use QuickPic from Play Store if you want better image quality.
You can see some difference.
Q: Is Bravia Engine and Xloud fake?
A: Not completely. It does have some effects. But, some people claimed it as completely FAKE.
Q: How do I use Theme Chooser?
A: First, you need to install themes from XDA or Play Store. Make sure its compatible on MDPI screens (or use HDPI themes after changing LCD Density). Open Theme Chooser, choose any of your installed themes, and click Apply.
Q: I already overclocked, swapped my phone, but for some games it is still laggy. Is there any thing I can do to improve performance?
A: Yes, install Chainfire3D from Play Store. Inside you will find a lot of settings to improve gaming. For more info, see Section III below for link to "Tips & Tricks to Improve Phone Speed & Performance".
Q: Is it good to use any task killers?
A: No, look here for more info.
Q: Can I get stock launcher (X8/W8 Launcher) to work on ROMs above 2.1?
A: No, although with the exception of SEMC Debrand Engines ROMs. For other ROMs, you can use Xperia Active, Arc, or S Launchers.

Rooting Your Phone Easily
...........................................
Make sure you are using Android 2.1 (update 1) and that your baseband ends with 015. If not, update with PC Companion. If your baseband is still not ending with 015, go to this thread at Flashtool point 3 and follow instructions.
Note: On your phone go to Settings > Applications > Development and tick USB Debugging.
XDA member puppet13th has made a very useful and easy to operate toolbox to help you. Go to this thread and download the toolbox. Follow the instructions to root and install dual-mode recovery on your device.
............................................
Unlocking The Bootloader
...........................................
In order to push your phone beyond the limits, you must unlock the bootloader and install a custom kernel. But there is a disadvantage to people with phones that were manufactured during or after the 29th week of 2011 shipped with a revamped chipset configuration (which is having the security hole what the bootloader unlock uses) effectively closed. This means that upon unlocking the bootloader your phone will end up as a hard brick - and you will have NO means to revive the phone yourselves. You either have to send it off to Sony Ericsson for repair (recommended) or find a phone repair shop being able to resurrect shot devices!
To check whether you are safe, take off the back cover of your X8/W8, pull the battery and look at the sticker below (NOT THE STICKER OF THE BATTERY). Find the line that says 11wxx. If the date code on the sticker reads 11W29, or any later date (11W30, 11W31, 11W32, 11W33, ...), DO NOT attempt to unlock the bootloader.
But some people ignore this warning and attempted it. Most of them end up in a hard brick, but some of them were very very lucky to unlock it successfully. You can try only when you are ready to take some cash out from your wallet (or purses).
You are also advised to be on stock ROM.
Look at these guides to unlock:
HERE or HERE
NEW!!
This is now by far the easiest way to unlock your bootloaders!! And for phones with 11w29 and above, you have a greater chance of success!!!
Try it now!! ---HERE
...........................................
Installing A Custom ROM & Kernel
...........................................
Note: Not every ROM works with every kernel. Be careful with that. Read the ROM for kernel requirements.
1. Be sure to backup all your current data such as apps, contacts, messages etc before installing a custom ROM.
2. Transfer all the zip files needed to make the ROM work and the ROM itself on your SD card. We do this now because stock ROM won't boot up with a custom kernel.
3. Choose your kernel, download it and put the .ftf file in the "Firmwares" folder of Flashtool.
4. Open Flashtool.
5. Press the flash button. Make sure "flash mode" is selected and press OK.
6. Select the kernel you want to install and press OK.
7. Shut down your phone While holding the back button. Insert the USB cable.
8. Wait till the process has finished and remove the USB cable.
9. Boot up your phone and as soon as the kernel logo appears, start pressing the back button continuously multiple times till you get to CWM recovery. Now its time to flash the ROM.
10. Follow the instructions on the ROM's thread on how to install it.
11. Enjoy!
Note:
If you are not able to flash a kernel after you unlock your bootloader, it might be because of this following reasons~
1) Drivers are not installed. Make sure you installed the X8 drivers and Flashmode drivers from Flashtool/drivers folder.
2) Kernel size is too large. Only some phones will experience this, that they are unable to handle the installation.
3) Your USB port should be resetted.
A- Change to a tighter USB port.
B- Reset your USB in Gordon's Gate program menu. Go to Start/ All Programs/ Sony Ericsson/ Gordon's Gate/ Reset USB
C- Reboot your PC.
4) Kernel may be corrupted or interrupted while downlading.Redownload the kernel from appropriate (official, not mirror) kernel link.
............................................
Simple Guide On Modules
............................................
Note: If you're using a custom kernel, you don't need these modules anymore!
- Overclock
Make your CPU frequency and speed higher.
- Undervolt
It saves the battery, decrease the heat of the CPU, and make your phone more stable.
- Gesture Pinch Zoom
It is the fake multitouch modules for Synaptics Digitizer.
- X8 MDDI Fix
It increases your phone's smoothness by eliminating the lag that happens every 5-7 seconds in custom ROMs.
- X8Kconfig
It not for daily use, it's for developers to extract kernel config from our running kernel 2.6.29 in X8.
- Dual Touch For Cypress Touchpad
It's the real multitouch if you have a Cypress Digitizer.
-X8 Netfilter
- We can have native USB/wifi tether on our phone. And also:
1. Firewall apps
2. Transparent proxies
3. NAT
............................................
Backing Up Your Things
............................................
To Backup Contacts:
- Export them to SD card in "Contacts" app.
OR
- Sync them with Google Account.
To Backup Messages:
- Use "SMS Backup and Restore" app from the Play Store.
To Backup Apps:
- Use "Titanium Backup".
To Backup Settings:
- Do a nandroid backup in CWM.
To Backup Everything:
- Do a nandroid backup in CWM, just make sure no apps are being stored in SD card.

Fast Way to Unlock Bootloader
...........................................
In order to push your phone beyond the limits, you must unlock the bootloader and install a custom kernel. But there is a disadvantage to people with phones that were manufactured during and after the 29th week of 2011 shipped with a revamped chipset configuration (having the security hole which the bootloader unlock uses) effectively closed. This means that upon unlocking the bootloader your phone will end up as a hard brick - and you will have NO means to revive the phone yourselves. You either have to send it off to Sony Ericsson for repair (recommended) or find a phone repair shop being able to resurrect shot devices!
To check this, take off the back cover of your X8/W8, pull the battery and look at the sticker below (NOT THE STICKER OF THE BATTERY). Find the line that says 11wxx. If the date code on the sticker reads 11W29, or any later date (11W30, 11W31, 11W32, 11W33, ...), DO NOT attempt to unlock the bootloader.
You are also advised to be on stock ROM.
1. Make sure your phone is rooted.
2. Plug in the USB cable and then press the plugins button.
3. From the plugins menu select unlock bootloader.
4.Then just follow the easy instructions provided from the software.
5. Done!

dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now for Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300
Compatible with Windows (Cygwin) / Linux / Mac OS X
The following is a guide to assist you with creating your own Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300(T) custom ROMs with the kitchen. This is NOT a guide to help you become Cyanogen or do fancy things with AOSP, but it may be your springboard to bigger things in the future.
Some of you already know about the Android Kitchen. It is a project I started on back in February 2010 to help newbies create their own custom ROMs and learn more about Android. As of the latest versions, you can now create your own Galaxy S3 I9300 ROMs with the kitchen.
NOTE: This guide may also work for other Samsung devices. So if you were told to come here and you have a different device, it was not an error - just make sure you use a base ROM from your own device, not from the I9300! For all other Galaxy S3 variants, this guide might not be exactly the one you're looking for. There may be support for your S3 device in the kitchen, but I'd need to post different instructions. Check the first post of the kitchen thread for any updates for linked instructions.
I'd like to thank klander for testing and providing feedback, which is always appreciated!
[MAIN PAGE] [RELEASE NOTES] [FAQ - page 1] [FAQ - page 2]
PROCEDURE FOR MAKING YOUR ROM:
NOTE: If you have a non-I9300 device and were told to follow these instructions, then use a base ROM from that device, NOT a ROM meant for the I9300!! The same steps below, however, (and common sense) should be used.
First, you need a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 with a custom recovery menu, which allows flashing of custom ROMs.
Visit the Android Kitchen thread to download the kitchen. Then, follow the link to the FAQ which will show you how to install it on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. Ensure you read the FAQ carefully.
Put one or more of your base ROM(s) under the original_update folder. For the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300, there is support for the following formats (that I know of) which can be placed in that folder:
Stock firmware:
system.img, boot.img, cache.img (and optionally: modem.bin)
TAR/ZIP file containing the above. NOTE: If the TAR file name ends with "MD5", remove the MD5 part from the name.
OR Custom ROM:
must be a ZIP file created by the kitchen from the stock firmware (NOTE: The kitchen may NOT support custom ROMs created through other methods such as CyanogenMod, due to potential file structure incompatibility issues)
OR Nandroid backup from custom recovery image:
system.img, cache.img and boot.img
system.ext4.tar, cache.ext4.tar and boot.img
Here are some basic steps to creating your first ROM after you have your base of files under original_update (more options are available in the kitchen):
Start the kitchen with: ./menu
Create a working folder (by choosing your base ROM)
Root your ROM
Add Busybox
Optional: Disable boot sounds
Optional: In the Advanced options menu: De-odex your ROM (your mileage may vary as to whether this works 100%)
Optional: Add or remove the modem.bin from your working folder
Build ROM
The ROM is built into a ZIP file meant for flashing from the custom recovery menu. No Odin. Make a Nandroid backup of your current system before you flash anything!
Some notes:
Just select the defaults whenever you are asked about something in the kitchen and are unsure whether to type 'y' or 'n'.
There are lots of questions answered in the FAQ in Posts 3 and 4 of the main Android Kitchen thread. So please go through that first if you have any issues.
For the benefit of other readers and to prevent confusion, please only discuss the Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 in this thread!
Most of all, have patience, take your time and enjoy!!
just what i need
I have a de-bloat script if you want a copy to convert to a kitchen script. It's perl calling system values and the kitchen.
Are we still meant to be extracting the img files manually to get them working?

I'm not doing additional work, but if you'd like you could make a plugin for the kitchen, which would go under the /scripts/plugins folder and can be accessed from the Advanced menu of the kitchen. I can advertise it in the kitchen thread (in the plugins section) as a separate download under your name.

With Cygwin the kitchen will give you instructions on which program to open and how to use it (manually). The programs are found in the kitchen.
With Linux/Mac, it is all automated and very quick.
Just when I thought this kitchen was a goner, you came along and made it work again
I have just put the French zip into the kitchen and it fails to extract the img files.
Available ROMs:
(1) I9300XXDLIH_I9300VFGDLJ1_SFR.zip
Enter selection number (default=1, cancel=0, r=refresh):
Selected I9300XXDLIH_I9300VFGDLJ1_SFR.zip
The new working folder will be named WORKING_101712_171605
Change the name (y/n)? (default: n):
Creating working folder WORKING_101712_171605 ...
Extracting ROM ...
Error: No system folder found!
Press Enter to continue

It works after manually extracting so no big deal

If the zip contains a tar file then it's not going to work, you need to unzip the tar file.

just wanted to let u know that when cooking my rom with ur kitchen, awesome by the way, i was getting constant hang at logo on boot. i went back to the beginning as it worked and booted and just added bit by bit until i found the issue. the issue was adding busybox install run parts. it took me a day to figure this out. i went through kernel to framework and nothing fixed this issue where booting just to logo then stuck. finally deleted working folder, went back to a basic rom, slowly added root, then busybox, deodex etc. i dont know if this issue is specific to just me and my particular build but just putting it out there for others wanting to use this excellent kitchen on their i9305.

Did you create a /system/etc/init.d folder with your custom scripts after enabling the Busybox Run-parts? That option is quite old but I have not seen anyone try or test it with any of the Galaxies. Maybe when you have time next time, do a logcat while it boots and see what the problem is (assuming you had the init.d folder created already). Thanks

yea i created the init.d folder first, (using v29 so it gives u warning anyways), but it still does this. i have to add init.d support manually through my script. but this is awesome, i just gotta remember not to use that feature.. i did both logcat and recovery logs but couldnt make heads or tails of it. it was easier to go back through ur kitchen, add 1 feature at a time until i found the culprit. thanks heaps

If you refuse to or are unable to read post #1 then you'll have trouble using - and even installing - the kitchen.
This thread is intended for developers and others who can contribute to the project
If you think you can contribute, please do so
Standard disclaimer:
I am not responsible if anything happens to your device
Status:
Device specific build of Ubuntu's minimal cm10.1 build ready
Ready for flashing
Working:
Touch screen
ADB
Browser (Although no net access yet)
You can browse and get a feel of the entire OS, including the homescreen (unity desktop), multitasking (the cool new way to switch between apps), etc.
Since it is a preview, many apps are dummy apps.
Screenshots:
Check them out here
Video:
Here is a video of the fresh new OS in action on the O2x made by JordanRulz
Download links:
Ubuntu touch preview (raring ringtail)
Current build of Ubuntu-CM10.1 (old bootloader)
New bootloader build by delaya73:
cm-10.1-20130604-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip
Older Ubuntu phone quantal image
older build 2 of Ubuntu-CM10.1 by delaya73
older build 1 of Ubuntu-CM10.1 by delaya73 for the new bootloader
TWRP latest version is recommended (CWM 6.x may work too)
Note:
The raring/quantal image is large, but thankfully gets installed on the data partition, thus saving our small system partition the burden
Source:
Ubuntu-cm10 source
Building instructions:
Building instructions are similar to building CM10 (refer Raum's guide) till repo sync (instead of official cm10 repo, use above source during repo init)
Dont forget to add device props in "local_manifests" (local_manifest.xml is deprecated). Add the following in local_manifests:
Code:
(Taken from Raum's guide, thanks to him)
After syncing the repo,
1. cd device/lge/p990, connect your device running cm10.1 with usb debugging on, and then ./extract-files.sh
2. In device/lge/p990/fstab.p990, remove "nosuid" from data partition
3. In kernel/lge/star/arch/arm/configs, in cyanogenmod_p990_defconfig, add the following:
Code:
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y
CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
CONFIG_USER_NS=y
CONFIG_PID_NS=y
CONFIG_NET_NS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y
CONFIG_FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS=y
CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_SWAP=y
# CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK is not set
4. Go to ubuntu folder inside your source folder and do
Code:
bzr branch lp:phablet-extras/libhybris hybris
bzr branch lp:platform-api platform-api
If you didnt have bzr, get it first using
Code:
sudo apt-get install bzr
Now you can build. This build would be for the old bootloader. For the new one, make these changes said by pengus77 here
Flashing instructions:
1. Make a full wipe (wipe data + format /system)
2. Flash the current build and raring/quantal image
Then flash this afterflash.zip
3. Reboot

Thank you all for the effort made
Thank you man you're doing a really good job
Very good job rugglez bro. cant wait for bootable version to test it on my self
Well, I tried to make some tests to see if he could complete the boot ... unfortunately without success after six or seven attempts.
Enough for today testing, hahahaha! ...

The quantal image is large, but thankfully gets installed on the data partition, thus saving our small system partition the burden
To do:
There is no "logcat" in Ubuntu (may be some other way to debug), so need another way to look at what is preventing the boot

Boot animation comes from the Ubuntu-cm10.1 build and is the default cm10 boot animation. Since your tablet's Ubuntu image was released directly by canonical, they must have removed the cm10 boot animation before releasing it

Ricardo is always a name in every project of the O2x, and he is a part of the CM team, in case you didnt know
But thanks for the reminder, I explicitly specified his name too now, deserves so much credit for bringing CM10 to our device.
Tonyp is a great contributor and we are thankful for all his work. But this is a ROM, and TWRP is a recovery used to flash a ROM, they have non-overlapping work. What I mean is, this ROM doesnt use TWRP's work, rather it can be flashed in TWRP or CWM6.
By your logic, Koushik Datta (developer of CWM and one of the best android devs) should be included in every ROM's credits here. Also, creators of USB, personal computers, internet, world wide web, which are also tools used in the process of flashing it.
(No offense meant to any of the above, they are all revolutionary people whom I greatly respect)
My point is, if I am using someone's work in this project/ROM, thats the person whose name goes in credits, not the one who is creating the tools to install it.
It's better if the discussion doesnt go further about this off-topic thing, if you find that I have used anyone's work in this ROM and not given credits, please let me know, thanks
Let's try to make Ubuntu Phone OS boot on our phone. Thats the priority here. Didn't get much time today, got college this week too, will see if I get time to work on it soon
