[Q] Stock Android

Hi guys,
I am really interested in figuring out the steps that should be followed in order to compile a stock android rom for i9000.
I find the phone amazing but really hate touchwiz and all samsung's applications.
Thanks in advance

compile a stock android rom for i9000.
Stock as in stock rom supplied by Samsung or do you mean a Custom Rom .
Custom roms are in the development section as are the guys that build them .

I meant vanilla android, i am aware of resources where you can find stock samsung compilations (namely samfirmware -sorry but as a new user i cannot post links- although there's also an updated list in a thread somewhere in xda forums) and i also follow some of the custom made roms (currently i'm using Darky's v9.3).
I would like to get to know how to get my custom rom compiled and packged so i9000 can load it, the reason: i really dislike samsungs additions to android (touchwiz) and i haven't found a custom rom similar to what i am seeking.
For the first steps i suppose i should grab the code from aosp but i just don't know if i need some drivers (i suspect i do), and if so... where can i get these?
Then... once all that stuff is compiled, what are the steps that should be followed to make the compiled image flasheable?
Thanks.

I really thought that the custom ROMS in the dev section could be built as custom as you like via the kitchen. First take the bare Android 2.2.1 JPY/JS5 system and add the Gingerbread launcher as well as the market then off you go. Can't get anymore vanilla than that ?

[Q] how do i deodex my i9000 galaxy s?

Hi everybody!
so can anyone explain me how to deodex my entire rom? and it's VERY IMPORTANT.
i need a good and serious guide.
my firmware version is xwjvb, csc: neejv3 AND i have cf root
i have no idea how it's done and ive clearly never done it but it dont mean i cant,
Also, ive found this post "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765270" but it's a lil bit confusing, i have xultimate 2.2.3, and for example after step 4 on that guide, i dont find any guava.odex to remove, and it doesnt even work when i start the 4th choice.....
im also not sure if it will work on my phone/os versions.
so will anybody help me please, i really need to deodex to especially try the touchwiz 4 port!

wow, this is GREAT!!! exactly what i was looking for, thanks ALOT
***eventhough i no longer really need to manually deodex thanks to ramad, and to widget21 for letting me know about it, i'd still like to learn how to manually do it...... so can anybody please help?

once you are rooted the easiest and quickest way to get deodexed is installing a custom ROM -- there are several now that are fairly minimalist and you can cook a bare bones custom rom over at Doc's kitchen. Custom ROMs have the advantage of not only being deodexed but zipaligned and consistent with the file system. Why re-invent the wheel?

im so NOT going to reinvent anything, im not even sure if i can anyways LOL, i was just curious cuz when they talk about it it's like something than can simply be done after flashing a stock rom like rooting..... i already goofed up and lost everything i had on the phone so flashing a new rom is not that big of deal anymore lol

know how you feel: my understanding comes from doing it the hard way and having to rescue the phone several times, so now I know better I try to help people not make the same mistakes I did while I was trying to sort it out myself.
Hope you flashed the kernel and rom you like that gets the most out of your phone and all is excellent today!

[Q] The easiest way to 2.3.6 + ROOT + any good A2SD

Hi together,
with all the current ICS-roms the nearly factory-image-like roms are hiding behind the curtain and I didnt keep following the developments.
My question:
Is there any good nearly-stock-rom with root and any good a2sd solution?
Propably I only have to do a few steps for this, but I even can find a 2.3.6 stock image for the Nexus One.
Anybody here who gots the right thread in his favorites? The most important thing is the stock-like image, root is no problem, but about the several A2SD I do not have much knowledge.
Thanks in advance!

i think this rom OXYGEN1 suits ur needs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214543
its AOSP based. i used it for a month and had no issues
it doesnt come with inbuilt a2sd but does support it. so u can flash any scripts u like

[Q] how to deodex stock rom la6?

Hi,
I've tried several custom roms, while they are much faster than stock rom and i do find faults in them so always go back to stock rom.
However I want to deodex my stock rooted rom. the reason for this is that i need this patch for arabic on my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424144
can someone help me to do this, all other threads are for other phones, is the method the same? and are the requirements also the same?
finally, if there is a way to get arabic full and not broken up like what i currently have, can some help with that instead, because that is what I really need.
cheers and thanks in advance.

You have 2 options mate:
1. Easy way:
- Download a stock, deodexed and prerooted ROM from [ROM] Stock ...LA4,LA6,LB1 ROM[Stock Deodexed & Tweaked Version]
- Go to that patch thread you posted and get the patch for the ROM you downloaded
- Flash and profit
2. Hard way:
- Go to [GUIDE] dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now with SGS2 support (Windows/Linux/Mac) and get the kitchen up and running in your machine
- Deodex your ROM by yourself
- Get the Arabic patch
- Flash and profit
EDIT: You actually have another option if all you're looking for is only Arabic support:
- Got to [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1 place,Latest XXLC2
- Download the ROMs with the region code of JPXX (where XX is e.g. LA)
- Flash and profit
However, you may want to get the directly rootable ROMs to gain root and CWM recovery after flashing but never mind this if you don't care about root

Well I've been using smali and backsmali for a long time but that's not for everyone and dsixda's kitchen is a great way to start learning about cooking ROMs

thanks mate, you've been a great help, i might as-well use the easy way. but first may give the hard way a shot, I want to learn about all this stuff, coming from the n900 its all interesting.

Yeah But I bet we can never learn by using scripts though the scripts are great .Ok no off topics anymore.

as most of us now have knowledge that the ics official rom is out but only the german one, is there a stock rom which is pre rooted and pre deodexed? just like what's available for the GB rom through here.

N920P on Sprint sucks... cant find working roms... want xposed

Is it just me or is there a real lack of working custom roms for Marshmallow N920P Note 5s? I don't even really want a custom mod... but been trying for days to get xposed going on my note and it doesn't want to run on the rooted stock rom (CF Auto Root). I have tried several different roms and can't get anything going. I also can't find anything that SPECIFICALLY states compatibility with N920P, just a couple roms where developers say it "should" run. But alas, been trying for 3 days now and still cant get a working custom rom or any help just to get xposed running...
Any suggestions?

Did you look in the Sprint Note 5 forums? Always look for carrier specific forums and not General. There are a couple in there including Moar which is a very customized ROM. Not a lot of Sprint Note 5 ROM options but Moar is very feature packed. You can add Xposed to it yourself. There's a QA forum to post questions so if you any try to post them there and not in the ROM develeopment thread.

I used this for a standard deodex rom and used the official build for xposed mm on x64 xposed modules works great on mine
edit: you may want to upgrade OTA before you root to get a good stock because I had to look forever to get a good stock rom after I softbricked mine

@henderjr
Have you run this rom with xposed? Wouldn't normally worry but it actually lists xposed in the known issues and states "run at your own risk"...
@Kade Farbo
That stock rom would be fine, but it is for PC3. WIll it work on mine? (N920PVPU2BPD2)
Edit: The rom installed successfully, but it looks like xposed isn't wanting to boot. Same thing happened on the stock rom, perpetually stuck on the sprint LTE Plus screen.

Update:
After trying several combinations of roms/xposed I finally got them working.
I tried the standard deodex rom, which installed correctly. Then tried to flash xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip, installed successfully but wouldn't boot. Same happened with using cf root on stock rom.
I tried installing venom note, install completed successfully but also wouldn't boot.
Finally I installed MOAR, installed without a hitch. After reading the discussion there I followed the recommendation of a poster that stated he was using xposed-v85.1-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam.zip. Framework installed and finally booted! Yay! So it looks like this setup is definitely the way to go!

Yeah Xposed with MOAR works fine. The developer just doesn't want people to post about bugs or issues if they have xposed running.

Does anyone ever read OPs? It says right in the Xposed OP that Xposed bootloops stock/stock based Samsung ROMs.

Sorry I meant to reply last night Wanam's unofficial MM xposed framework should be fine. Start with deodex rom and follow the instructions. I recommend this over any custom ROM for most stability and closest to vanilla experience while being able to use all root/xposed features

I may have liked the "more original" rom better, but MOAR seems to be just find and running smoothly. Wanam may have worked on that rom for me, but I didn't find it until flashing MOAR. Honestly after struggling so much to just get anything going, I dont feel like going back through everything just to get xposed on the deodex rom. I'll just stick with MOAR for now lol
Thanks for the help everyone.

Im running Wanam Xposed on the stock odexed ROM.
You can deodex any Odexed ROM with Root Explorer. Just Search .odex in Root Explorer, wait till it finishes, and delete all the files it lists. Bam. Deodexed stock rom, no flashing ROM required.
MOAR is awesome.

Te best Custom rom os laslamy if you looking good battery and mods.
