PIMP MY ROM V2.0 FOR O3D:fingers-crossed:
Hey guys I have just tried the ROM customizer PIMP MY ROM by Androguide.fr for all android devices,and I found that V2.0 of this CWM flashable Aroma Installer works fine on O3D.However extra apps like sony ericsson walkman suite and and DSP manager from this installer doesn't install,except this everything works cool.
First download V2.0 HDPI version for O3D then do as follows:
Open the zip of the rom you are running with winrar or 7zip or whatever (the .zip file that you flash in recovery)
Inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android
Extract the file called "update-binary" and rename it to "update-binary-installer" then close your rom's zip
Open Pimp my Rom's zip (i.e : PIMP_MY_ROM-v1.5.3-by-Androguide.fr.zip)
Do not unzip it, inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android and delete "updater-binary-installer"
Now copy the "update-binary-installer" file you extracted & renamed from your rom to Pimp My Rom's zip (still in META-INF/com/google/android). Simply drag and drop it into PmR's zip to add it.
Close the zip and flash it
How to Flash PMR installer:
You can flash this on top of any custom rom with init.d support(like DNA_GB3.33)
- Download the version of Pimp My Rom that corresponds to your device's screen resolution (Not sure what res your device is ? Here "http://blog.blundell-apps.com/list-of-android-devices-with-pixel-density-buckets/" is a well-furnished list of android devices with their screen-res)O3D'S SCREEN RESOLUTION IS HDPI.
- Make sure you are running a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)
- Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM, just in case
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery
- Flash PmR in recovery
- A wonderful touchscreen interface will pop-up
(devices need different touchscreen calibration, if the touchscreen doesn't work, use the menu button of your device, select "Calibration Tools" and follow the instructions)
- Follow the on-screen instructions, make your choices between all the different features to Pimp your Rom
- Select "Reboot my device" on last screen (or reboot from recovery) and enjoy.

Installed but now?!
How do I do to reverse the pimping? I'm sure that, because of it, my phone got bugged: became slower, less responsive, often it freezes on simple tasks like activating WiFi. So how do I uninstall it?

Just restore a previous backup from before the pimping or if you don't have a backup refresh your Rom but try the zip again first most of the options you can reverse

First time I used it, I got stuck when it changed the dns & ppp0 settings.
Took the battery out, did everything again and unselected the dns & ppp0 thing and it worked.
Everything is way more smooth and it's faster.
This keeps breaking video recording.
Anybody tried this on our new ics?
Could somebody post what are they tweaking to make our device work better?
I tried it on sanmo prometheus and kernel, sadly it just make things worse. It lagged and sometimes its freeze and bootloop.
I wanted to try it again with the new ics from xbsall. I will report how my device runs after the tweak.
Thanks

I have made a custom ROM, with additional API's and patches using stock ICS source - Downloaded from source.android.com.
After modifying, patching etc, I built the ROM using 'make' on my Ubuntu machine.
I followed the steps here to build the ROM: http://source.android.com/source/building.html
The output of this procedure is attached as a screenshot
(I copied the folder to windows hence the screenshot shows a windows OS)
Now I have a ROM I am asked to flash it using'fastboot flashall' per the instruction here:
http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html
My device doesn't seem to support a Fastboot mode.
The output folder of the ROM is attached as a screenshot.
A> When I try to use CWM, it fails to flash - MD5 Mismatch:
Also I am unsure how CWM flashes and which of the folders are to be included. A CWM recovery generates:
1. boot.img
2. recovery.img
3. system.ext4.tar
4. data.ext4.tar
5. cache.ext4.tar
6. nandroid.md5
Clearly my output folder is not aligned to this format. So I'm a bit lost here.
B> Odin takes on tar file. I am not sure if simply making the folder a tar will work.
C> Heimdall doesnt support this tab I guess...
Any ideas on a solution would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards

Downloaded & Installed a custom ROM zip, it worked. How can I make mine into a zip?
Most of the custom ROMs have a boot.img, system folder, data folder and meta-inf.
What is Meta-Inf?
Also If I zip my ROM (created as mentioned above) and try installing it doesnt since I dont have a Meta-Inf & I cant use the other meta-inf.
This is the ROM I installed: Worked fine except USB-PC connection didnt:

Hi all,
My port of TWRP. I know berni posted a build already, but mine is newer and I've tested it for a few days, haven't seen any buggy behaviour other than buggy restore (see bug hunting).
Features (copied from TWRP list):
Ability to save custom recovery settings
Default partitions to back up
Default zip folder location
Default color theme (lots to choose from) (Thanks to ffolkes!)
Default Time Zone (for more accurate time stamps)
Zip Signature Verification
Zip md5 Verification (looks for file with zipname.zip.md5)
Ability to flash multiple zips in one go
Ability to select which individual partitions to backup, and restore.
Ability to choose compression or no compression backups.
Compression takes longer of course, but you save roughly half the space. EVO3D's stock system uncompressed is ~800mb, 380mb compressed. You choose.
Ability to auto restore GAPPS on zip flash (for CM based ROMS)
Ability to auto reboot after successful flashes (for the lazy)
Some devices utilize their capacitive buttons in recovery.
Home - Main Menu
Menu - Advanced Menu
Back - Up a Menu Level
Search - Select Current Selection
Battery Level and Timestamp (Better safe than sorry)
Prerequisites:
Rooted phone
P920 recommended, untested on P925
How to install:
1. Download recovery.img which is attached.
2. Copy it to the folder containing adb.
3. Shift+Right click in the folder, select open command window here
4. Enter the following commands (hit enter after every line):
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su (you might have to accept a Superuser prompt)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
exit
exit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Enter adb reboot recovery and hit enter
6. ???
7. Profit!
Screenshots:
Follow the instructions above and you get interactive and functional "screenshots"
Credit for this goes to TeamWin for their very cool recovery and the CyanogenMod team for all that they do. Thanks also to berni for giving me the motivation to port it myself due to nonfunctional cache wiping
Bug hunting:
EXT4 backups don't restore properly (have a theoretical fix for this, stay tuned. In the meantime, rename all files which look like *.ext4.win to *.ext3.win by mounting USB storage on your computer and do the same for the md5 files)
If there are any bugs please tell me about it.
Changelog:
18/8: initial release
Hi, is it works on optimus 3D MAX?
Thanks in advance
Not sure. This is entirely untested on that, but I doubt it works

Hi pandaball, we allready pm each other. Can u make twrp for O3D Max? I can provide u the stock recovery and the mountpoints!

No. The phone has to be supported by CyanogenMod first.
I would like to install pacman rum, but fails to start installing TWRP .then for the first time gave status 7 error status 6 error. How to install help me
Here's a solution :

i try this method working but twrp this time is error status 6. ( my english bad
do you have wkpark custom bootloader?
Well, it's actually really simple. i just got the same problem and recently just successfuly installed it.
The Steps(This only works if you use ics rom with wkparks 1.25 bootloader):
1. change the bootloader. Install the GB bootloader.
2. install cwm/twrp recovery for GB (these two easy steps can be done easily with OS_HACKING Tools v1.2)
3. factory reset(do any other wipe if you want)
4. install. after installation, when you reboot, you'll get stuck on lg logo. that's OK. to the next step.
5. install the wkparks 1.25 bootloader(again, this is easy with OS_HACKING Tools v1.2)
6. reboot and (if it works) enjoy!
That's all. Hope that was helping.
Sorry for the english.(-_-')
Here is a meathod to flash stock/custom kernel using UKF for those who are new to these things
Q: What is UKF ?
UKF is UNIVERSAL KERNEL FLASHER developed by @frapeti Original thread

Prerequisites-
1. A Galaxy S4 (I9500/I9505)
2. The phone must be rooted
3. Any Stock/Custom kernel
Procedure-
-For Stock kernel
1. Download UKF from Playstore.
2. Extract the Firmware package whose kernel you want to flash there u will get boot.img file.
3. Copy that boot.img file to your SD card
4. Open UKF, Press "Select a Kernel Image (bin/img/md5)"
5. Select that boot.img file that you previously copied to your SDcard
6. Then Press 'Flash Kernel Image'
7. Thats it click on reboot and its done
-For Custom Kernel
1. Download UKF from Playstore.

Others who may not want to use custom recovery can find it useful
BUT DO IT CAREFULLY SELECTING WRONG IMAGE FILE CAN RESULT IN HARDBRICK TOO
HIT THANKS IF YOU FIND IT USEFUL

Yes, everyone wont succeed in installing android kitchen for the first time but its not a hard thing ,
If you have installed Android kitchen head over to the next step
STEPS TO CREATE WORKING FOLDER
This is the way that i usually use while making a custom rom
Things needed
-System folder of your stock rom :- Copy and paste to your sd card through root explorer
-boot.img :- Get it from your nandroid backup
Now just zip both system folder and boot.img(as a single zip file) and move it to C/Cygwin/home/username(varies according to your system)/kitchen/original_update/here
After that click on cygwin desktop shortcut and type "cd kitchen" and hit enter now type "./menu" and hit enter
You will see the kitchen's main menu here
Type "1" and hit enter to setup your working folder Select the zip you placed in the above step and hit enter now kitchen will automatically make a update script and extracts the rom from the zip file you can find it in C/cygwin/home/username/kitchen/WORKING_xxxx
You are now ready to modify your stock rom
DEODEXING STOCK ROM
Know more about deodexing and odexing - http://www.redmondpie.com/odexed-vs-deodexed-the-difference-between-the-two-android-roms-explained/
Steps for Deodexing stock rom
After setting up working folder open cygwin desktop shortcut and type "cd kitchen" hit enter then type "./menu" hit enter Kitchen main menu will appear type "0"(zero) and hit enter to goto advanced options, now type "11" hit enter to enter the deodexing menu. now type "v" and hit enter Select the correct API level (10 for gingerbread) and for other versions see the kitchen menu that appears after selecting for changing API level type the suitable API level hit enter now type "b" hit enter to deodex both system/app and system/framework
Wait for some time and your rom will be deodexed
THEMING YOUR ROM
There are two ways of theming your rom
1. Use 7-zip or winrar to change the pngs (images) of any apk
2. Use Apktool and decompile/recompile the apks to change xmls and pngs of an apk
Using apktool for theming
You wont find a better guide for using apktool-
