[Q] What firmware should I use as base? - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, guis, I'm trying to create a ROM, nothing special, just to learn.
I'm using the dsixda's kitchen, so I need a .tar file of some firmware as base, but I don't know what fw is the best to the job.
Oh, another thing: dsixda's kitchen asks for a .tar file, but when I download some fw (from SamMobile, for example) I receive a .tar.md5 file. Should I just rename and remove the ".md5"?
Sorry if it was a noob question.
EDIT
Tried to rename and remove the ".md5" and got this:
Available ROM:
(1) I9070VJLPD_I9070ZTMLPD_I9070VJLPD_HOME.tar
Enter selection number (default=1, cancel=0, r=refresh): 1
Selected I9070VJLPD_I9070ZTMLPD_I9070VJLPD_HOME.tar
The new working folder will be named WORKING_072813_093341
Change the name (y/n)? (default: n): y
Enter a new name (using this prefix): WORKING_GALAXYSADVANCE

DDLUP8 (Indian), XXLQB (Serbia) and LQG (Italian) fws are best for now.

OK, the System Extractor is pulling everything right now.
What file (extension) I'll get? Or will be a folder?

You will get the system folder. Then you zip the system folder into a zip and start the kitchen and choose zip

I just use the System Extractor of KINGbabasula and the dsixda's kitchen and both worked.

Well, I don't know what happened so because I'm already using/testing my ROM and the system apps are the same of before.

of which type your device is GSM or cdma please check your model no. if it us other than gt-s5570 then you will need to make some changes in the updater script of the zip you are flashing
aprizND : how i change META-INF? kitrax: is a ROM created by me other ROMs work fine
Sign your Rom zip file with SignApk. You will be able to flash it then.
No way it displays the same error... Something about this: raw_image (temp/boot 'boot')
Error status 7

Hey bro.. Copy/paste a META-INF folder by another rom and you can flash without problem
Inviato dal mio GT-S5570 con Tapatalk 2
that means the write_raw_image command is written wrong
just make the correction and you would be able to flash the package

How do you suggest to do it? Unpack the zip file? Or how coz I have the same problem and can't solve it. I am not the best in repacking flashable zips. Have never done it before.

[Q][MOD]How to use the stock as base for a custom ROM?

Hi all!
I want to mod a ROM based on the stock. But the stock is a .tar and the rest is .rfs or. img and i don't know how to extract the files like cyanogenmod: /system ; /Meta-INF and boot.img for modify the ROM...
Thanks and sorry my bad english..
You can google for extracting .rfs with magicISO... For the kernel(boot.img) you can use dsixda kitchen, available on XDA... For META-INF, the kitchen make it automatically...

[Q] Most file types being downloaded as .txt files

As you can tell from the title, I've been having a strange issue on my phone. Most of the time, when I download something via the default cm webbrowser, the files end up being downloaded as .txt files, when they're actually apks, mp3s etc.
Anyone else with this issue?
I mean, it's not a big deal, I can always change the extension manually, but it becomes a royal pain in the rear when you download multiple files and have to change them one by one... :laugh:

Yes, the exact specs are in my signature...
It is a limitation of all stock Android browsers. The only one that allows you to download the apk file is firefox. Try it!

I do not have that folder. So probably it is safe to delete it. Maybe some app use it...
You can try to move it to some other folder and reboot phone. To see if it makes some problem. If not then remove it.
