Rom Development? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have access to Windows but had a desktop given to me which I now have solely running Linux OpenSUSE 12.2. I want to start looking into Roms and learning how to customize what is available on the forums. Does anyone know of Dsixda's Kitchen is being used anymore and of its even compatible with our device?
Mostly interested in learning how to modify apk's and be able to pick apart Custom Roms to be able to learn as well as customize them to my liking.
It would be best to be able to do all of this on Linux
Thanks:thumbup:

Yes. Dsixda kitchen for the Galaxy S2 works for the Epic 4G Touch.

[Q] ROM Kitchen for Galaxy Nexus

Does anyone have any information on whether a kitchen is available that will work with the Galaxy Nexus? I've tried the DSIXDA ROM Kitchen but haven't been able to get it to work properly. Would love to have something to make customizing ROMs a little easier.
Thanks!

It's been a while since anyone responded to this, but I would like to bump this page and ask if there is a kitchen app out there to help with customizing ROMs on the Galaxy Nexus.
Thank you in advance.
dsixda's kitchen works fine. The only thing that it has trouble with is deodexing things. I've had to deodex the files just using smali/baksmali myself.
Why not just build the ROM from source to your liking? Isn't that the purpose of AOSP?

i tried using the cmcompliler for linux but it is too difficult for my skill level. I know a lot about android/roms/kernels/etc but not enough about coding to build a rom from scratch. Or is it easier than I think? I would rather use windows if there is an easy way to compile or build a rom on windows.

Unfortunately not possible on Windows. Android can only be built from source on Linux.

It's easier than you think. It's a great project for learning a bit more about Android and learning a bit about Linux if you aren't familiar with it.

You could build it on Windows if you wanted to, but it would be more of a hassle than it would be worth. It's faster and easier to just install Virtualbox or similar and setup a VM to compile Android on. It may not be quite as fast as doing it via a native OS install, but it gets pretty close.

[Project] Ubuntu Nexus [CDMA]

So I have decided to take on putting ubuntu on the galaxy nexus. I am using a reconstructed img based on the HD2's build. To Start i will be using the same methond to boot ubuntu nativly on the nexus s. So this thread is to keep people updated on whats going on. just so everyone knows since i am busy with other projects there will be no eta. Once finished i will start a dev thread under the Galaxy nexus CDMA Development section.
UBUNTU NEXUS
UPDATE Progress
Working on kernal and recompiling a boot.img
Also If anyone is willing to help please let me know Shoot me a PM. If your interested in testing the builds also PM me,
thanks ~ Globed

Good luck with this. I will be following even though I dont have any interest in having Ubuntu on my phone unless maybe in a dual boot function.
Well eventually thats what im shooting for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889433 <-- this is the thread for the hd2
but eventually once a stable build is created i want to have dual boot feature so.
Hoping the best for this with dual boot, thanks in advance for your efforts :thumbup:

This will be fully native right? As opposed to ones that use a vnc server/client?
Yes this will be fully native and evenually dual boot. Once a stable build is ready for release

Erm... "kernel"
why just because you can? i will follow this for knowledge but don't see the point ... isnt ubuntu making a moblie version of the os themselves with a possible hardware phone too? i dont think it really has a place ... never the less i wish you good luck
ubuntu would be best for tablets not phone imo
I'm not putting a desktop version of Ubuntu on the phones. And yes but its based on android GUI and android code. I am doing this because it becomes an option..... something different . And I had an hd2 the idea itself and the actual build was pretty interesting. But think about a mobile true Linux device. All the possabilities

Also I want to make point of this Ubuntu mobile OS will be similar to android with an effing unity interface. Personally I hate the unity interface. By porting Linux Ubuntu this opens the doors for things like idk for ex programming custom gui's. Ha aha if somebody wishes a true mobile hacking unit lol not that I support this fashion of hacking. But again its DIFFERENT. But all in due tine need to get through my exams

If I can propose something, please have the RTL8187 module already built in with USB host active!
Can't wait to see development!!!!
If you need beta testers let me know! I'm more than happy to help with this project.
Awesome idea USB functionality I already incorporated and I will let everyone know on a beta

Also, provide kernel source and headers so if anyone who wants to build new modules/drivers it will be easier!
I would look at Backtrack-ARM too. I am running it in chroot but having native would be awesome! If we can find elite engineers to convert our broadcom wifi and make it monitor/injection working would be like the n900 but with way more power and bigger/better screen for mobile pentesting!

[REQ] Monitor mode / aircrack-ng

Yesterday on slashdot I stumbled upon an item of (potentially) considerable interest: it would seem some clever folks have succeeded in getting monitor mode to work on Android devices using certain broadcom based WiFi chipsets, including the bcm4330... They compiled working apks for the SGS II and we use the same wifi chip, so it should work. They also hosted the source on a googlecode project. SO, in theory (if I understand things correctly) all we should need is for someone with a working AOSP build environment for our phone set up to compile the code. I'm new to the dev scene and therefore highly unqualified lol, but I'm sure there are a handful of experienced devs out there with the knowhow to get this up and running!
Here's the link: http://bcmon.blogspot.com/
And the source: http://code.google.com/p/bcmon/source/checkout
Thx for this checking it out now!
Looks interesting, and for SGS II, let's see where it goes...
I've been wanting to see the this f pi r years

its more than possible only a matter of time before a whole set in apk comes out :angel:
I believe the Wi-Fi chip in the Galaxy S3 is actually an updated model than the ones used in the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S2. It would require some tweaks for our phones.
Yes ur right but who can build it for me ? Who???

Dual boot/Multi-boot stock-ish AND AOSP for N3?

For the Note 2, there is this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239453
It allows you to dual-boot a Samsung and AOSP-based ROM. How cool is that?
For the locked AT&T Note 3, there is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572978
It allows you to keep the locked factory ROM in place, while creating additional ROM "slots" to boot into an alternate ROM.
I, for one, would love the abilty to run a stock Samsung ROM and be able to dual-boot an AOSP based ROM on my Note 3.
Based on the above, it seems to be possible. I am no dev, but I am hoping to entice someone to take this on to make it a reality.
Perhaps a dev fund of some sort? I'll toss in $20. Anyone else interested in this feature?
Happy New Year, BTW...
Ah the infamous devil kernel, yea that's a dope feature and I'm sure in due time devs will cook up a kernel that allows this. CM for our devices is a newborn at this point and needs plenty of nightlies to iron out all the bugs before this can happen.

Yes also for the galaxy s4 there was 2 multiboot situations hopefully one can get ported

We are just getting alphas of aosp . Its way too early to ask this question. but I understand why you ask.

[Q] Looking for real linux distro for Nexus 7(flo) 2013

I'm looking to install real linux distro with full desktop applications on my Nexus 7 2013.
Ubuntu touch is not there yet and I have MultiRom installed.
I know there some great distros for the old Nexus 7 but I haven't seen much for the recent version.
Thanks,
I need all the help I can get!
Why don't you try Complete Linux Installer?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid
I figure since it's using android resources and extra resources for Linux that I would be dog slow.
Im looking into this, i am also rather curious about this. If i cant find anything, i may try my hand at building a version based off of the kubuntu desktop.
Im not sure how well or even if this works, but here is something i found in my research
