[Tutorial] install kitchen in linux en use it! tutorial thanks to theunlockr

Heey everyone here the quide for how to set up kitchen in linux virtualbox
Not made by me but made by the amazing guys from the unlockr Thanks!!!
Part 1
[I Before you begin]
1. This ONLY works for HTC Android devices at the moment, Also other devices!
[II. Download a Virtual Machine and Set It Up.]
1. Download VirtualBox for free from here (the one for Windows Hosts at the top). Then click next on the setup process until it installs.
2. Open VirtualBox and click on New.
3. Name the New Virtual Machine whatever you want (we named it Linux for simplicity’s sake).
4. For Operating System choose Linux, then choose Ubuntu for Version and click next.
5. Click Next again leaving the Memory Setting at what it is preselected at (should be 384mbs).
6. Click Next on the Boot Disk screen as well leaving boot hard disk and create new hard disk both selected.
7. Keep clicking Next until you get to the slider that asks how much space to set for the Linux. Move the slider to 8Gbs and click next.
8. Click next until it is done and shows you the original screen you started on but now with the Linux Machine Powered Off on the left.
[III. Install Linux Ubuntu on the Virtual Machine]
1. Download Ubuntu from here.
2. Once it is downloaded, in the VirtualBox program, click the Start button at the top.
3. Close out all the warnings that come up.
4. Then click on Devices > CD/DVD Devices > More CD/DVD Images… then select the .iso image for Ubuntu you downloaded.
6. Follow the prompts on the screen to install Ubuntu on your Virtual Machine.
7. Once it is installed and reboots, goto Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type this line with hitting enter at the end:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre
It will ask you for a password, type in the password you created when you went through the Ubuntu installation process (it asked you for it before finishing the install).
Then it will ask you y/n. Hit y then enter. Then when it shows you the terms and conditions, hit right arrow on your keyboard and click enter to select ok. Then hit left arrow on your keyboard and enter to select Yes.
*NOTE – Your keyboard and mouse will not function on your regular computer once you use them in the Ubuntu virtual machine. To re-enable them, click the Ctrl button on the right side of your keyboard.
**IF YOU GET AN ERROR INSTALLING THE JAVA FILES,
Download the java files manually FROM INSIDE THE EMULATOR/LINUX using Firefox here:
Java6 Bin
Java6 Jre
Then open the Terminal App in Ubuntu and type this with hitting enter at the end of the line:
sudo dpkg -i sun-java6-jre_6.18-4_all.deb sun-java6-bin_6.18-4_i386.deb
And that should fix it.
[IV. Download and Setup The Android ROM Kitchen]
!THIS NEXT SECTION NEEDS TO BE DONE WITHIN THE UBUNTU VIRTUAL MACHINE!
1. Click on the Firefox logo at the top of your Ubuntu installation (in the Virtual Machine).
2. Type this into the url box:
theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen (to navigate to this page from within the virtual machine).
3. Now download the latest version of the kitchen file  in the first post from the link below(again from inside the Ubuntu installation on the virtual machine. We are doing this because we want to save this file in our Ubuntu Virtual machine, NOT our regular computer).
Kitchen
4. Again on the Ubuntu machine, Find the .zip file you just downloaded, right click it and click open with Archive Manager and then click Extract at the top.
5. Once you click Extract, it will ask you where. Double click the folder that has the name you created when you installed Ubuntu (my username was theunlockr so my folder is called theunlockr. It is the first folder under recently used in the list on the left). Then click Extract at the bottom right.
[V. Run the Android ROM Kitchen]
1. To run the Android ROM kitchen, click on Applications at the top of Ubuntu > Accessories > Terminal then type the following and hit enter:
./menu
2. You will now be greeted by the simple text menu of the application. Enjoy!
VI. Create Your First Custom ROM
=================================================
Part 2
Before You Begin
1. We are assuming you have already setup the Android kitchen. If not, use our How To Setup The Kitchen procedure and then come back to this one when done.
2. We are also assuming you have already done our How To Root and How To Load a Custom ROM for your phone and have a custom recovery image.
2. This ONLY works for HTC Android devices at the moment, Also other devices
3. Open the Kitchen in your Ubuntu Virtual Machine we created in the Kitchen Setup procedure by typing ./menu in the Terminal window in Ubuntu. Leave it open.
4. All of this is done INSIDE THE UBUNTU VIRTUAL MACHINE (that includes when I say “save to your computer” anywhere in here, means save to you Ubuntu Virtual Machine)!
II. Find a ROM to Dissect
There are two kinds of ROMs you can dissect to create your own custom ROM; Stock ROMs and Custom/Cooked ROMs. DsiXDA, creator of the ROM kitchen we are using, has put together a list of places to get stock ROMs for different devices and a quick how to load them into the kitchen:
From a Cooked ROM (Easiest Method):
1. Copy the update.zip (or equivalent ZIP file) to the original_update folder in the kitchen
2. Type the number for the option “Setup Working Folder from ROM” and hit enter in the Kitchen to create your working folder. (So if its number is 1, type 1 then hit enter).
From a Shipped ROM:
1. Find the shipped ROM for your device, usually from htc.com or from searching xda-developers (check the Wiki or sticky posts under your device’s sub-forum).
The links below may help:
2a. If the shipped ROM is in a .ZIP format, then simply extract the system.img and boot.img.
2b. If the shipped ROM is in .EXE format, then do the following:
A. In Windows, run the shipped ROM’s .EXE file till it gets to the first dialog. Stop there but don’t close the window yet.
B. Go to Start->Run and type: %TEMP%
C. When the folder opens, search for Rom.zip. Then, open it with an unzip tool. If you get errors trying to open the ZIP file with WinZip or the default Windows unzip program, then use 7Zip (download from here) to extract it.
D. Extract only two files from Rom.zip: system.img and boot.img
3. Copy the two .IMG files to your kitchen’s img_files folder in your Ubuntu Virtual Machine.
4. In the Terminal window that you opened in Section I, type 1 and hit enter to create a working folder from the two .img files.
Now, that you have either the update.zip in the original_update folder of the kitchen OR the system.img and boot.img of a shipped ROM in the img_files folder of the kitchen, you are ready to play with the ROM to make it your own.
III. Tweaking the Imported ROM Using the Automated Options in the Kitchen
So this is a basic kitchen, but you can do things like, add Root support, add/remove apps from the ROM, enable saving apps to the sd card, enabling Wifi tethering, do some automatic optimizations, and a few other things automatically just by selecting the option and hitting enter. It even allows you to put in your own scripts for the ROM to run (but that’s for more advanced users who know how to create scripts of course).
1. After importing a ROM using section II, select the options you want to do to the ROM (by typing the number of the option you want into the terminal/kitchen window and hitting enter. They are all pretty self explanatory.)
2. Continue this until you have all the automated options you want in the new ROM.
IV. Adding/Removing Applications from the ROM
1. In your Ubuntu Virtual Machine, goto Places at the top. Then click on Home Folder, then the WORKING folder that was created in section II when you dissected the original ROM or img files. Then goto system > app. (Also check Data > App as .apks can be put in there as well).
2. In the app folder you will see all the .apk files for all the applications you have currently in the ROM. Simply delete the ones you do not want to remove them from the ROM.
3. To add applications, simply copy any .apk file for the applications you want to add into the app folder.
V. Repackage the ROM so it can be Flashed onto a Phone
1. Once you have done whatever changes you want, you just need to type 99 and hit enter in the kitchen/terminal for the kitchen to take the working folder you have been messing with and compile it into a flashable update.zip ROM.
2. Once it is done compiling the ROM, we can transfer it to our phone.
VIa. Setup Ubuntu to See Your Phone via USB
1. In the Virtual Box windows with Ubuntu in it, click on Devices at the top then click Install Guest Additions. (It should autostart, if it doesn’t, click on the CD that appeared on the desktop in Ubuntu and then click on Autostart.sh. It will ask you for your password you created when setting up Ubuntu, put that in and let it install).
2. Once the Guest Additions are installed, close the Virtual Box Ubuntu Window (choose to Power Down the Machine).
3. Now, open Virtual Box itself (not Ubuntu) and highlight the Ubuntu machine, then click on Settings at the top.
4. Click on USB and make sure Enable USB Controller and Enable USB 2.0 are both enabled.
5. Now plug in your Android phone (do NOT mount the SD card, just plug it in).
6. Now in the USB menu of Virtual Box, click the + symbol on the right and then select your Android Device (name may be different).
7. Once that is installed, unplug your phone.
8. Now, Start your Ubuntu Virtual Box.
9. Once Ubuntu boots up, plug in your Android phone (do not mount the memory card yet) and look for the USB symbol at the bottom (fourth icon from the left) and hover over it and wait for it to say USB Device detected and display your phone. Once that happens, mount the sd card by pulling down the notification bar on your phone and clicking mount.
10. Ubuntu should pop up your SD card on the desktop (if any prompts come up just select do nothing and click ok). We can now transfer files to the memory card of our phone.
VIb. Use RapidShare to Transfer the File from Ubuntu to Windows (if Section VIa was giving you trouble)
1. If you can’t get the USB to work in Ubuntu, then simply open a Firefox browser window, goto Rapidshare.com and upload the ROM to there.
2.Once it is done uploading, ON YOUR WINDOWS COMPUTER NOT UBUNTU, put in the link it gave you when you finished uploading it, to download it to your Windows computer so we can transfer it to your phone.
VII. Flash the ROM
5. Copy the .zip file to the root of your SD card (NOT in any folders, just on the SD card itself).
6. Unplug the phone and turn it off.
7. Turn it back on by holding down home and power (do not let go until the recovery screen comes up) to get to recovery mode (you must have a custom recovery screen to do this, if you don’t find out How To Root and Load a ROM procedure for your phone and do those first).
8. Now select Nandroid Backup to create a backup before we flash the new ROM.
9. Once the backup is done, select Wipe Data / Factory Reset in recovery mode.
10. Select flash zip from sd card and select the ROM you just put on the sd card.
11. Once it is done flashing, click reboot. Enjoy!
Enjoy! Will update this as we add more things for you to tweak Feel free to suggest some in the meantime.
Thanks to DsiXDA for his awesome kitchen!
Thanks to Theunlockr For the amazing Guide !!!

[Q] Problems in Deodex Using ROM Kitchen

I found details here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30946303
But many many things are unanswered
Requisites:
1. XUltimate or any other similar tool which can pull all the Apk's and Framework's from the phone.
2. Rom Kitchen (Link On OP)
3. Zip utilities.
4. Deodex Empty Shell zip. (Deodex_Cwm_Shell .zip - 236 KB)
5. Windows (Cygwin) or Linux ( I won't go into technicalities)
How:
1. Pull all the Apk's and Framwork's along with the .odex files.
2. Rename the folder with the Apk's as "app"
3. Rename the folder with the Framework's as "framework"
4. Create a folder called Deodex_Cwm. (You can choose your name).
5. Inside the Deodex_Cwm folder, create another folder called system.
6. Copy the app and framework folder with the apk's and framework's into system.
7. In the case of ION, I found that there is a file "playstationcertified.odex", rename it to "com.playstation.playstationcertified.odex".
7. Zip the Deodex_Cwm folder.
8. Copy this zip into "original_update" folder inside Rom_Kitchen folder.
9. Run the menu script.
10. From menu select "0 - ADVANCED OPTIONS", then select "24 - Miscellaneous options / Plugin scripts".
11. Now select "(4) Batch_Deodex"
12. Press Enter to continue.
13. Press Enter Again to continue.
14. Press Enter Again to continue.
15. Press Enter Again to continue.
16. Now the Deodexing process will start. It will show a message when the process ends.
17. Rom_Kitchen creates a WORKING_mmddyy_hhmmss folder for processing the files.
18. Once the processing is done, the files are moved to batch_mmddyy_hhmmss.
19. Open the Deodex Empty Shell zip (do not extract). drag and drop the app and framework folders from the batch_mmddyy_hhmmss into the system folder inside the opened zip.
20. You also change the Text inside the updater script in the folder "META-INF/com/google/android" inside the open zip. Use notepad++ under windows, under linux you can use any editor.
21. Now close the zip and copy it to the external sd card in the phone and flash it using CWM Recovery.

Rom Kitchen Requires Linux. So either use Linux as OS or install Cygwin under Windows. How to use Linux/Cygwin is beyond the scope of the tutorial.
in how to. 9. Run the menu script.
What is Menu script ? there is no menu script in Rom_Kitchen folder, it is just a file with name menu ( without extension)
to run menu, type the following in command prompt.
chmod +x menu (required only once to make menu executable script)
./menu

Run Windows Bridge for Android (Astoria) on unsupported devices Build 10.0.10536.1004

First of all, use this thread at your own risk.
If you decide to give it a try make sure your smartphone has a SD Card slot otherwise this will not work and it's best to use this on a secondary device because there is always a chance that you have a critical bug and a hard reset is necessary to restore your device.
Also 512MB RAM devices are not supported, so only use this tutorial if your device has 1GB or more RAM.
There is already a thread on here from jimmy19990 that explains how to do this but it seems that people with less experience in this department do not understand it completely, so I decided to put all the steps in this thread:
1. (skip this step if you are on Windows Phone 8.1) If you already upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile make sure you go back to Windows Phone 8.1 with "Windows Phone Recovery Tool" or "Lumia Software Recovery Tool" which you can find here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA142987
2. Backup your files on your SD Card and format it in Windows Phone 8.1 (settings < storage sense), if you get a message that asks to save new files to the SD Card click no and check in storage sense that new files are all saved to the phone, not the SD Card.
3. After this download and install the "WP8.1 SDK Tools Lite Setup Av1.20" from here:
http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/15281796/file.html
4. With "WP8.1 SDK Tools Lite Setup Av1.20" installed you will have "Windows Phone Developer Registration 8.1" (start menu < Windows Phone SDK 8.1) open this and register as Developer.
5. Go to the app store on your phone and search for "Preview for Developers" and install this app, move it to the SD Card with storage sense (settings < system < storage < phone < apps & games) select the app and tap "Move to SD Card".
6. Now download "CustomWPSystem_0500.xap" from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...p-customwpsystem-patch-xaps-wpsystem-t2975419
7. Connect your phone with a usb cable to your computer.
8. Under "Windows Phone SDK 8.1" is another program called "Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1", open it and click "Browse", navigate to the "CustomWPSystem_0500.xap" file and click "Deploy", after a while you get a message that it succeeded.
9. Download "CustomPFD_0003.xap" from another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...xap-custompfd-registry-editor-tweaks-t2981057
and copy "CustomPFD_0003.xap" to the root directory of your SD Card.
10. Take your phone and open "CustomWPSystem", tap "SD Card permissions", click on "sd card" and press the checkmark.
Now tap "Select the XAP" (at the bottom of the page in "CustomWPSystem"), navigate to "sd card", select "CustomPFD_0003.xap" and "Apply XAP".
Wait till you get a message "Operation Completed".
11. Close the "CustomWPSystem" app and open "Preview for Developers" app (icon will be changed), go to HKLM\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo and change these values (just open for example PhoneSOCVersion, put 8974 in the textfield, press "Write", back button and go to the next one):
For a Full HD (1920x1080) device:
PhoneSOCVersion: 8974
PhoneMobileOperatorName: 000-GB
PhoneManufactorModelName: RM-937_eu_euro1_231
PhoneModelName: Lumia 1520
OR
For a HD (1280x720) or lower resolution* (800x480 / 854x480 / 960x540) device:
PhoneSOCVersion: 8926
PhoneMobileOperatorName: 000-HK
PhoneManufactorModelName: RM-984_1000
PhoneModelName: Lumia 830
*On lower resolution devices the interface will be a bit smaller as normal after the registery edit, but as soon as you complete step 14 your original device info and interface will come back.
12. After you changed your info to one of these devices, go to the app store, search "Windows Insider" app, install it and open it.
13. Sign up for the Fast Ring and check for updates, you will receive a message that "Build 10.0.10536.1004" is available, let it download and install (will take around an hour or more and the device will reboot itself a few times).
14. Once Windows 10 Mobile is installed do a hard reset (settings < system < info < factory settings) and let it format the SD Card also. (this will also take about an hour or more)
15. Now you will have back your original Device Info and in windows < system32 < aow will be the necessary files to run Windows Bridge for Android.
The following steps are to actually install an APK on Windows 10 Mobile:
1. Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
download and install "vcredist_x86.exe" and "vcredist_x64.exe".
2. In this thread you will find the new files for the "WindowsBridge.7z":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-fix-android-applications-installing-t3202036
Extract "WindowsBridge.7z" and install "IpOverUsbInstaller".
3. Here you will find the installer to deploy the APK's to your device (Download Version 1.3.1 Here / minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Download and install.
4. Turn off your lock screen (settings < personal settings < lock screen), time-out: never.
5. To enable developer mode on the phone and to find it in the network:
First find your ip adress from the phone: settings < network and wireless < wi-fi and press your network, type your ip address in a document.
Then go to settings < update & security < for developers, press "Developer mode" and tap "Yes".
Turn on "Device discovery" and press pair.
6. Open your map "WindowsBridge" from step 2, copy the directory and open an elevated command prompt (run < cmd < right-click < run as administrator).
Type "cd" and paste the directory of the "WindowsBridge" map (example: "cd C:\Users\User\Downloads\WindowsBridge".
After this type "wconnect.exe" and copy paste the ip adress from the document in step 5 and press enter (example: wconnect.exe xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
Enter the pin you see on your phone, wait a while and it will say "connected".
7. Now download the APK you want to test with this link (just search the app in the Google Play Store, copy the link and paste it in the website below):
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
Cut and paste the app to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and copy the directory of this map.
8. Go back to your command prompt type "cd" and paste the directory ("cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot")
9. Type "adb install" and copy and paste the name of your apk with the .apk extension included ("adb install test.apk").
10. Wait a few minutes and there will be a message "Succes", now on the phone press "Abort" and "unpair all", your APK will be installed.
I tested this method with a Lumia 640, used the Lumia 830 device info and it works like a charm.
Thanks to all the threads and websites I mentioned, because all these tools make it possible and easier to run this project.

My lumia device is 635 had a lower resolution es 480 ¿can use the device info for lumia 835 with more solution 720?

Not sure about that, but just to be safe, I think you should use info from a compatible device that has the same resolution as yours.

13. Sign up for the Fast Ring and check for updates, you will receive a message that "Build 10.0.10536.1004" is available, let it download and install (will take around an hour or more and the device will reboot itself a few times).
14. Once Windows 10 Mobile is installed do a hard reset (settings < system < info < factory settings) and let it format the SD Card also. (this will also take about an hour or more)
15. Now you will have back your original Device Info and in windows < system32 < aow will be the necessary files to run Windows Bridge for Android.
The following steps are to actually install an APK on Windows 10 Mobile:
1. Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784
download and install "vcredist_x86.exe" and "vcredist_x64.exe".
2. In this thread you will find the new files for the "WindowsBridge.7z":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-fix-android-applications-installing-t3202036
Extract "WindowsBridge.7z" and install "IpOverUsbInstaller".
3. Here you will find the installer to deploy the APK's to your device (Download Version 1.3.1 Here / minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Download and install.
4. Turn off your lock screen (settings < personal settings < lock screen), time-out: never.
5. To enable developer mode on the phone and to find it in the network:
First find your ip adress from the phone: settings < network and wireless < wi-fi and press your network, type your ip address in a document.
Then go to settings < update & security < for developers, press "Developer mode" and tap "Yes".
Turn on "Device discovery" and press pair.
6. Open your map "WindowsBridge" from step 2, copy the directory and open an elevated command prompt (run < cmd < right-click < run as administrator).
Type "cd" and paste the directory of the "WindowsBridge" map (example: "cd C:\Users\User\Downloads\WindowsBridge".
After this type "wconnect.exe" and copy paste the ip adress from the document in step 5 and press enter (example: wconnect.exe xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
Enter the pin you see on your phone, wait a while and it will say "connected".
7. Now download the APK you want to test with this link (just search the app in the Google Play Store, copy the link and paste it in the website below):
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
Cut and paste the app to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and copy the directory of this map.
8. Go back to your command prompt type "cd" and paste the directory ("cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot")
9. Type "adb install" and copy and paste the name of your apk with the .apk extension included ("adb install test.apk").
10. Wait a few minutes and there will be a message "Succes", now on the phone press "Abort" and "unpair all", your APK will be installed.
I tested this method with a Lumia 640, used the Lumia 830 device info and it works like a charm.
Thanks to all the threads and websites I mentioned, because all these tools make it possible and easier to run this project.

Not sure about that, but just to be safe, I think you should use info from a compatible device that has the same resolution as yours.

Make sure you have the 1GB RAM version of the lumia 635 because the 512MB version will not work in this stage of the project. (only 1GB devices supported)
If you have the 1GB version, your device is on the supported list so you only have to install W10M (step 12 and 13) and then follow the 10 steps to delpoy an APK to your device.
@IPRJ25 your welcome.

That's indeed interesting, it's not sure yet but I suppose when they have polished the Android subsystem that there is chance that 512MB RAM devices will be supported.

First of all, use this thread at your own risk.
If you decide to give it a try make sure your smartphone has a SD Card slot otherwise this will not work and it's best to use this on a secondary device because there is always a chance that you have a critical bug and a hard reset is necessary to restore your device.
Also 512MB RAM devices are not supported, so only use this tutorial if your device has 1GB or more RAM.
There is already a thread on here from jimmy19990 that explains how to do this but it seems that people with less experience in this department do not understand it completely, so I decided to put all the steps in this thread:
1. (skip this step if you are on Windows Phone 8.1) If you already upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile make sure you go back to Windows Phone 8.1 with "Windows Phone Recovery Tool" or "Lumia Software Recovery Tool" which you can find here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/support/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA142987
2. Backup your files on your SD Card and format it in Windows Phone 8.1 (settings < storage sense), if you get a message that asks to save new files to the SD Card click no and check in storage sense that new files are all saved to the phone, not the SD Card.
3. After this download and install the "WP8.1 SDK Tools Lite Setup Av1.20" from here:
http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/15281796/file.html
4. With "WP8.1 SDK Tools Lite Setup Av1.20" installed you will have "Windows Phone Developer Registration 8.1" (start menu < Windows Phone SDK 8.1) open this and register as Developer.
5. Go to the app store on your phone and search for "Preview for Developers" and install this app, move it to the SD Card with storage sense (settings < system < storage < phone < apps & games) select press the app and tap "Move to SD Card".
6. Now download "CustomWPSystem_0500.xap" from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...p-customwpsystem-patch-xaps-wpsystem-t2975419
7. Connect your phone with a usb cable to your computer.
8. Under "Windows Phone SDK 8.1" is another program called "Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1", open it and click "Browse", navigate to the "CustomWPSystem_0500.xap" file and click "Deploy", after a while you get a message that it succeeded.
9. Download "CustomPFD_0003.xap" from another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...xap-custompfd-registry-editor-tweaks-t2981057
and copy "CustomPFD_0003.xap" to the root directory of your SD Card.
10. Take your phone and open "CustomWPSystem", tap "SD Card permissions", click on "sd card" and press the checkmark.
Now tap "Select the XAP" (at the bottom of the page in "CustomWPSystem"), navigate to "sd card", select "CustomPFD_0003.xap" and "Apply XAP".
Wait till you get a message "Operation Completed".
11. Close the "CustomWPSystem" app and open "Preview for Developers" app (icon will be changed), go to HKLM\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo and change these values (just open for example PhoneSOCVersion, put 8974 in the textfield, press "Write", back button and go to the next one):
For a Full HD (1920x1080) device:
PhoneSOCVersion: 8974
PhoneMobileOperatorName: 000-GB
PhoneManufactorModelName: RM-937_eu_euro1_231
PhoneModelName: Lumia 1520
OR
For a HD (1280x720) or lower resolution* (800x480 / 854x480 / 960x540) device:
PhoneSOCVersion: 8926
PhoneMobileOperatorName: 000-HK
PhoneManufactorModelName: RM-984_1000
PhoneModelName: Lumia 830
*On lower resolution devices the interface will be a bit smaller as normal after the registery edit, but as soon as you complete step 14 your original device info and interface will come back.
12. After you changed your info to one of these devices, go to the app store, search "Windows Insider" app, install it and open it.
13. Sign up for the Fast Ring and check for updates, you will receive a message that "Build 10.0.10536.1004" is available, let it download and install (will take around an hour or more and the device will reboot itself a few times).

You can try restarting the device this will refresh Astoria and if this does not work, you simply can't run the APK.
The project is still in beta so it takes a while to polish all the bugs out and many APK's won't run and others will run perfectly.

Thanks for the post I'm wondering if this hard work (downgrading to 8.1, registry changes, again updating to 10 etc) really worth, most of apps are not working or working to some extent but missing some important functionality. Its good for learning purpose anyway.

In some countries the project is not supported, I guess this has something to do with both devices because they are on the support list and they should work without doing any registry edits.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210 problem

I recently found my old tablet and it had kingoroot installed and then I flashed stock rom to my tablet but now it randomly restarts and every time i try to setup it i got error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" and "settings has stopped"
Here is the tutorial I followed:
Code:
The following instructions are for Windows only. Please don't use a virtual machine as these can cause problems communicating with the device. There is an alternative method for Linux or macOS. Just tell me if you aren't on Windows, I can easily change the instructions. Please make sure you have Windows set to display all file extensions. This can really help for debugging purposes.
First we need to download the tool that downloads the stock firmware. It's called SamFirm and it downloads it using Samsung's servers. You can download the latest version [here](http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3803841&d=1467715462). Please also make sure you have the [Microsoft Visual C++ 2008](https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/1/1/1116b75a-9ec3-481a-a3c8-1777b5381140/vcredist_x86.exe) and [Microsoft Visual C++ 2010](https://download.microsoft.com/download/5/B/C/5BC5DBB3-652D-4DCE-B14A-475AB85EEF6E/vcredist_x86.exe) x86 Redistributable packages installed. Now to download the tool that flashes to the devices different partitions. On most devices you use a tool called fastboot, but Samsung devices aren't like most devices (excluding the Galaxy Nexus). This tool is called Odin, it's Windows only and leaked from Samsung so you need to get it from a trusted source. You can download the latest version [here](https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/Odin_3.12.3.zip). Extract the "Odin_3.12.3.zip" file. You should now have a folder called "Odin_3.12.3". Treat this as your working directory and download all other files to this folder. While you're here, extract the contents of "SamFirm_v0.3.6.zip" into this folder.
Now to download the stock firmware. Open "SamFirm.exe" and make sure "Auto" is checked and "Manual" and "Binary Nature" isn't checked. In "Model" put `SM-T210` and in "Region" put `BTU`. Click "Check Update" and wait for it to find the firmware on the server. Now check "Check CRC32" and "Decrypt automatically". Then click "Download" and save it. Let it finish downloading, checking, and decrypting. Once it finishes you can now close SamFirm. Extract the zip file it gave you. You should now have a single file ending in `.tar.md5` (you may also have `.dll` file, ignore it). This tar.md5 file is your firmware. Do not modify it. If you have more than one .tar.md5 file, tell me.
Now shutdown the device and then hold the Volume Down, Home/Bixby, and Power buttons. This should put the device into download mode. Accept any warnings then plug the device in. Open "Odin.exe" from the "Odin_3.12.3" folder. In the log, it should say `Added!` and have a blue COM thing near the top, meaning it detected your device. If it didn't detect it, then you may need to configure drivers (you can ask me for the drivers if you need them). Click the "Option" tab and make sure "F. Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" is enabled. Also check the checkbox next to the "AP" button and then click the button. Select the tar.md5 file. Now click "Start" in Odin.
It should now reboot and go to the boot animation. If it doesn't boot in 15 minutes, shutdown the device. Then hold the Volume Up, Home/Bixby, and Power buttons. Then use the keys to select "Factory reset". Please note this will wipe all user data. Once it finishes you can select "Reboot" and now it should boot correctly.
I have been battling with this problem so long I only wanted to root my tablet to have some fun with root required apps
Any help with the problem? I only need to root the device or get it to work with stock rom

Dumb question......I been reading the other post in regards to installing Windows 10 on the other surface 2..... Would I have to follow this tutorial or the one for the surface 2 if I have a surface 2 running rt? Also it says I need a keyboard..... Does it mean a USB keyboard or can I use my Microsoft soft keyboard?

This will work on rt 8.1 ??

Hey I see you've got a trick to install ublock on edge but the download link is missing, can you give it to us please, it's one of the last things I really need for my tablet to be totally functionnal

I finally managed to install Windows 10 on my Surface RT, and for now it's great! It's a shame that Microsoft didn't update the tablet officially, and that this version is so old that many newer apps don't work, but it's better than nothing!
Some useful informations I learned through the process:
1) Initially I used the recovery image for my language downloaded from Microsoft, and with this image I wasn't able to enable test mode after installing the secure boot policy. I tried the chinese image provided on Yandex (links are in other threads on this forum) and it worked on first try, so use that!
2) Even after enabling Test Mode, if you run the command Confirm-SecureBootUEFI in powershell, it still gives you True as result. I was worried that Secure Boot wasn't really disabled but I was wrong. To confirm that secure boot is disabled you have to enter the command prompt via recovery image and check the right corner of the screen if it says "secure boot is not configured correctly" or something like that. In that case, you can install W10 safely.
3) Some guides are wrong about the file you have to rename to remove the warning about the expiration of the build. The right file is LicensingUI.exe, not LogonUI.exe! LogonUI.exe is responsible for the login interface, if you rename it you won't be able to login on the next reboot, so pay attention!
4) Office 2013 is not activated for me, I tried to install the provided licences many times, but nothing. It seems to work anyway though. There's something I missed?
To be completely satisfied I need:
- a working version of the Crunchyroll app, the one in the store requires a newer build, anyone know how to find it?
- MSN Weather for W10, the one provided is the old W8 app.
- Ad blocker for Edge, someone wrote about sideloading uBlock but didn't share the files.

Does the office 2013 work? I installed it on my Surface RT with the Windows 10 build but it says that it only works on qualifying versions on windows and editing is disabled...

I was able to install it and getting working 100%...... there's another tread that's for installing windows 10 on surface 2 tablet and there's a link in the OP for a mega folder that contains the office 360 files and in it a file that edits the registry

Hello. I can also confirm that it works. I have installed Win 10RT and very happy with it. It really brings a lot of new experience to our tablet as same as a bit faster response.

If you want to use an adblock for Edge, the only one that works is Adblock, directly from the Store. However, adblock support in this build of Edge is very buggy, it eats a lot of ram (sometimes leading to crashes) and some sites fail to load with adblock enabled. So I suggest to install it and to manually acrivate/deactivate it when needed.
Speaking of the Store, I found a bug, at least for me: the install button works only for the apps you already own. So, if you want to install an app you never downloaded, you have to acquire it first on another PC and then on the Surface RT.

Does someone know how to make the the newer Microsoft store (Provided by @_CNR_)to work?
I installed it but however, it won't install any app because of a licence problem probably...
(The older store worked but it does not include all of the apps for example myTube)

If everything goes wrong can I just download a recovery image for 8.1 and install it again?

If everything goes wrong. Just boot from the recovery USB stick and reimage the Windows 8.1 using the same dism apply image method.

If you want to sideload more apps manually you can check my application I made recently: https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-8-rt/rt-general/arm-rt-app-store-windows-10-rt-t4067813

Ok I see. I ran into a different issue. I went to do the Windows 10 install today but to my surprise, I couldn't boot up. Luckily I still had my Windows 8.1 Full Recovery USB. But, for for some reason from the advanced troubleshooter, it tells me my USB device is invalid. Has anyone run into this before?

Of course not, the only build of ARM32 Windows 10 we have is this one, and it's leaked.

Wow, really cool!
I would like to know if the cameras work in windows 10? Thanks so much!
