ROM Kitchens with a GUI.

Besides the MoDaCo one and Fresh kitchen, are there any others with good functionality?
I would love to jump in and start cooking rom's but I don't have a Linux machine or the resources for a Linux vm available.

Thanks, Decad3nce, but my Fiancé's pc doesn't have the disk space to run cygwin and save the rom...
I might see if i can get her to let me save some stuff that's more important, and let me delete all the crap then install Ubuntu Netbook.

got a usb drive? If so download the Virtual Machine and just use Virtualbox. That way you can just use the usb drive for the vm and save all that space

I got a 4gb USB drive and installed Ubuntu Netbook(not the live USB version) to use andorid kitchen. I had to delete the older kernels to free up space but it is working ok for the most part. Although I am wishing I would of gotten an 8gb one so I wouldn't have to worry about space. You just have to make sure grub gets installed on the usb drive and not the main drive of the pc. Also make sure the pc is set to boot from usb before hdd. That is how I run it on my netbook.

510 rooted / CWM / StockROM / not visible via USB under Linux

Hi all,
the Acer 510 contains the Stockrom, which is rooted and CWM is installed. If I connect the the Tablet via USB with W7, I can see the internal and external SD-Card. If I connect the same tablet under Linux (Suse 11.4), the tablet / filesystem is unknow and could not be mounted
Normaly I see every Android Device under Linux and can mount this one without any problems , so that I 've an access to the SD-Cards.
Does someone has seen the same issue and hopefully has a solution for this one?

Since ICS the protocol used is MTP and linux is not familiar whith it
take a look at this article, it will help you even if it's written fo ubuntu

Tablet doesn't use Mass Storage mode but MTP which you have to setup on your Linux machine.
Ubuntu tutorial (required packages should also work on other distros)
Alternative (I've never heard about this before TBH)

THX !
I'll try it on evening and let you know

Before you proceed in futher steps, did you try connecting the tablet to the Linux machine with USB debugging off? (Win XP for example, cannot use the A510 as MTP if usb debugging is on.)

Even if you get it to work, don't expect somethign good. The Support for MTP is really bad in most Linux distros. probably because MTP is a Microsoft thing. I got it to work once and all i could do was copy small files in already existing folders. Creating folders or copying large files always resulted in a force unmount.

I agree with you that why I only use FTPserver instead now

Simplest alternative to MTP- QtADB, I know it wasn't updated for over a year but worked for me (various 2.1-4.0 firmwares and hardware)

wifi file transfer from the play store is another option.

vitrualBox in Ubuntu 12.04

hey guys im trying to use virtualBox on my Ubuntu machine. Im trying to run windows 7. Got it all set up and loaded with no problems. Heres where I cant get passed.
Im trying to get VB to utilize the entire screen space. Ive read through all the articles about installing the additions iso. I cant seem to find a good copy. Also I cant get Odin to recognize my phone either. I have USB set up in VB and can access the files on phone but cant get Odin to recognize it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can install guest additions from within VirtualBox. It shows up as a mounted CD drive. Open it, & run the appropriate script.
If your ultimate goal is to use Odin, though, I don't think it will work through VirtualBox. Maybe it's possible, but I think it needs direct access to the USB. You could just dual-boot Windows & do it directly.

Thanks for the info

thanx for the info dude. I guess i just assumed i could get it to work in a virtual machine. Could have swore Ive seen Adam doing it...mind u he is MUCH MUCH more educated than me. That is my goal. I have a linux machine and wanna use odin to flash Adams Odin root file for the Note 2. No problem running his CASUAL program, but need to root it first and as far as I can tell it needs to be done in Windows. I guess I can always turn a spare computer back into a windows machine...just didnt wanna have to go through the headache,.

Well, you can boot off a Ubuntu install disk (or make a GParted Live USB), then use gparted to resize your Ubuntu. Set a few GB aside for a new partition, then install Windows there, instead of installing Windows in the VM. It ends up being the same thing, just a few more steps to get it running.
Just make sure you back up your grub config and mbr. I don't think Windows would make your Ubuntu install vanish, but ya never know...

Oh, yeah. The default command to switch to fullscreen mode is Host+F, where the default Host key is Right Ctrl (so, RightCtrl+F).

The unofficial galaxy s3 linux support thread

I just wanted to start this thread for anyone who needs help with the s3 on linux whether its mounting sd/mtp or help with heimdall. I use Arch linux and let me tell you mtp is a pain in the butt, I ended up having to use a ftp server, and for my sd card I use a root ap called SG USB MASS STORAGE ENABLER by Mohhamad Abu-Garbeyyeh.

I'm using Ubuntu but there's no way I'm playing with my phone on it - I have a Windows partition just for that sort of thing. Maybe if it weren't my daily driver, I'd be willing to give it a shot but, while I use Linux for just about everything, it's just easier to have a Windows partition for some things. This being one of them.
Hats off to you though - takes guts (& knowledge) I don't have!

Need to be on stock. Doesn't work without stock.

A couple of things I have found:
1. While MTP did not work with my Mint 15 system and stock android 4.1.2 on my phone, once I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed cyanogenmod, it worked like a charm.
Before, when I plugged in my phone, I would get multiple error windows saying the MTP system wasn't available. I had to use windows (yuck!) and odin to get root and unlock the bootloader (although I did not try the virtualbox windows until after I had done this). I installed the most recent version of cyanogenmod and now the Mint system recognizes the MTP just fine. No error windows or anything.
2. I was able to get a virtualbox windows machine to recognize the phone, although it required different usb filters for download mode and for typical mtp.
This required going into download mode, selecting the appropriate filter in virtualbox, unplugging the phone, booting up the virtual machine and then replugging the phone. After this, odin recognized the phone. I did not attempt to flash anything further, though, since I had already done so from a windows system.

I think Ubuntu ships with mtp and its libraries now

I used to use arch Linux. Such a fun distro. Then work started using a TS gateway and it started become too much a hassle. Installed Windows 8, no longer fighting the system :screwy:

What do you mean you have a windows partition? I have a laptop that's quad booted with Windows 7, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Pear OS 8. I want to take Windows out of the picture but I need it for things like this. Could you give me more details on this like does it act like a windows system? It'd be much appreciated.

Can I use my phone to install Windows 8.1 onto my PC?

Is it possible to use the Z3 to install Windows onto another PC? I have an ISO file of Windows 8.1, but I don't have a flash drive to use to install it. I also don't have any blank DVDs. Is it possible to use my phone to do this instead?

i think you just have to try for yourself. Never heard of anyone doing that

First of all I would like to compliment you on the idea. Its original
Theoretically it is like booting from a usb device, so it should be doable. First of all you have to make sure that boot from usb is enabled in the bios of the pc.
Secondly you have to make sure that your z3 is set up as MSC device in the usb setting.
Then you have to extract the contents of the iso file to the root of the z3's flash card.
Reboot the pc while phone is connected and let it boot from the usb.
This should work.
Good luck mate
