You can use android kitchen to cook custom roms
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Can someone provide the modified vendor files for kitchen to cook X8 roms ?
If you have a friend who cooked roms before for hero/legend/g1/nexus devices, ask him to cook one for us, this is the fastest way
For those who never cooked a rom, this link might be a start :
http://source.android.com/porting/build_system.html
Cooked rom should use our original 2.6.29 kernel of eclair and our rild libs, rest of system should be prelinked to those files.
Gingerbread (2.3) is available in AOSP repository, there's a very good chance we could have it running before SE release froyo if ever.
I have tried this rom Prime from LG Optimus P500 (same cpu and screen).
Flashed with xRecovery, than before rebooting copied over xRecovery files back to flash (to be able to return to my backup).
To enable "adb logcat" debug, put adb-enable file in /data/property/ directory.
The rom booted, i saw android 2.2 bootscreen, but than it crashed..

For those who can't have it work try like this
1. Download and install busybox from marketplace
2. install this apk file http://www.mediafire.com/?prj83693lv94lut its the xrecovery for X10 big but install it anyway
3. download the real files for xrecovery in the first page http://www.mediafire.com/?lz6gwgohuakvbfo
4. move extract the files you downloaded to your sdcard
5. Use Root explorer to copy/move the busybox, chargemon ant the xrecovery.tar to system/bin after you done that it should work

this thread is open to help newbies to install the 2.1 custom rom with the simples way..
you also can discuss any problem here..
dont mess the dev thread with a dumb question...
thanks to "Perceval from Hyrule" for the original tutorial..
this is revise version for 2.1
INSTALLATION FOR 2.1 AOSP
Before attempting anything, make sure you have AT LEAST 50% of battery charge. Don't try anything with low battery, you can abort the flashing and brick your device !!!
Please make sure you're also running a 2.1 rom (Generic, nordic, official, custom...)
1st step:
make sure your computer is adb debugging ready..
in case in need for command execution..
- Download Android SDK
You don't need to save the entire archive (but you can), you just need the Tools folder (because it contains ADB, the Android Debug Bridge we need to install files).
2nd step:
- On x10 :
Enable USB debugging (Setting > Applications > Development).
Root your device. easiest way by using z4root.
Download and install Busybox (from Market), make sure it says "Done!".
3rd step:
install xrecovery for recovery menu.
xrecovery a.k.a recovery menu
4th step:
option 1:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip)
rename the *.ZIP to Update.ZIP
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
option 2:
Download rom.
2.1 AOSP ROM (make sure 2.1 since this tutorial is for 2.1)
extract the rom (u will get 2 folder + 1 files)
upload the file into your sd card root(sdcard/*.zip) or in any folder u like
*the 2 folder contain application which u can install if u like
5th step:
boot into recovery menu (by restart and hit few times back button when "SONY ERICSSON" word appear)
backup your original rom(in case u want to restore next time)
hit full wipe
option 1:
hit install update.zip from SD card
option 2:
hit install custom zip
search for the custom zip in folder where u save it
hit the zip file
after reboot, u will get custom rom installed in your X10
good luck ;-)
TIPS
1-u can do like rendeiro2005 said by creating rom folder and put the rom collection in it..
so if u want to change or try other rom just choose zip file from the particular folder...
this require using step from option 2
2-another one, by creating folder which contain backup image..
u can collect your friends backup image and put in one folder..
if u want to try, just restore the particular image file using backup/restore option in recovery menu and choose the backup image file..
collection of custom rom backup file for recovery menu:

for use with recovery menu only..
Hi bro,
Only two calls on your excellent tutorial:
1. No need to put the rom in the root of the sdcard. I, for example, to distinguish the roms, I`ve created a folder "Rom" in the root and put the roms in there.
2. It is not necessary to rename the *. zip file.
When we entered the xRecovery, you can go to "install Custom Zip> zip Choose Custom from sdcard>" Now in my case I a. .. "Roms >........" and I intend to choose

it`s not a different way.
i think that way would be more simple (for me at least) `couse you can have different roms puted on the same directory without, everytime that you want to install one change his name to default.zip
but...great TUT (clap your hands floks)

Install all 3?! Yes you can...if you want you can install WM and iOS
Now mre seriously.
If you want to install 2.1 you have to format sdcard to one partition only. 2.1 doesn't work with more than 1.
Then you can flash...follow this guide to do so

I've been looking at a lot of tuts and stuff for making a ROM, because getting system.img from the official ROM is a bit tedious
First reinstall a Android 2.1.
Then root it.
Install a XRecovery.
Then backup it.
Now you will get system.img in backup folder.

quote from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888227
I Rooted with SuperOneClick v1.65, then stuck on xRecovery using the adb shell to mount the system folder as r/w, then copying the files from sdcard to system/bin. This way i didn't have to install RootExplorer and put in my google account details
then, i just backed up and here it is:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/xb64e5mp6q6fmdb/StockBaseROM.zip
Zip contains:
- cache.img
- data.img
- nandroid.md5
- system.img
Now all you need to do is set up a kitchen
i'm following this tut to make a ROM(probably with none of my own creations (will credit those who need it) but with stuff like JIT and Wireless N enabled etc. oh and ofc it'll look pretty )which i'll share when i've completed

did you install busybox from busyboxinstaller?
because you didnt mention it...
Use this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4VZEIYUI
Its a CWM Recovery. I use this recovery on stock rom.
Just unrar those three files to your sdcard, and copy to /system/bin with Root Explorer.
Do Not forget change premission to 644 (rwxr-xr-x) on those three files.

Always search first post of specific thread for answers you will find your answer, or at least search your question before posting
you are not specific to your question
Q.1 Which Firmware are you using
Q.2 Is it Rooted
Q.3 what kind of theme is that (a CWM Flashable, xRecovery Flashable or Manual)
If you are using stock firmware then you will have to root, then you find a compatible theme and apply it according to the method provided by the theme maker
same applies to Custom ROM but they are already rooted and you might already have a recovery software installed
e.g
if its flashable by xRecovery you can go to xRecovery and flash it
if its flashable by CWM you can go to CWM and flash it
if you don't want to flash it go to Root Explorer copy that Framework-res.apk and replace it in system/framework directory and change permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot your device
and above all Backup your device before doing these because first time you might do it wrong and stuck up in boot loop
im using cm mini 7 v20 for rooted mini pro, i dont know if themes are flashable or not, they dont write that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217611

its a Flashable zip, can be done via CWM

so you want to do it manually.
first i must tell you as it is for older miniCM version it might cause problems
First extract your zip in SD card
copy apks from framework and apps folders
mount /system to rw and paste them to system folder
change permission of each apk to rw-r--r-- by press-holding and clicking permission in root explorer
make sure all apks have permission of rw-r--r--
move and replace framework-res.apk from /system to /system/farmework/
move and replace all other apks from /system to /system/apps/
Reboot
Thats it; if you done it correctly then it will go fine
or you can try themes from here by installing apks Here
The apks can be extracted and installed directly, no copying and setting permissions needed. However the core framework of cm7 must have changed since these were made as they don't render properly on newer cm7 based roms
On your Xperia U you have to delete those files with a root file explorer:
/system/bin/recovery.tar
/system/bin/chargemon
/system/bin/charger
/system/xbin/sh
This is not the most awesome tip on xda, but it may be useful for newbies =)
Want to know how I found that out?
I searched this on google and everybody said that uninstalling clockworkmod is impossible.. THEY WERE WRONG!
On Xperia X8 I had to install XRecovery manually by rooting and CnP-ing files with a root file explorer..
Xperia U CWM installers do the same thing automatically via ADB..
So I thought this: If CnP-ing files installs CWM, then theoretically deleting those files should uninstall CWM..
Then I made a nandroid with CWM (ironically xD), booted to android and deleted those files with Solid Explorer..
Final test: Turned it off, turned it on, pressed volume- continuously and CWM didn't show up, but android booted up with no problems! =D

atis is the user that ported cm9 on locked bootloaders and cwm on lockd bls. Just upload them from ics. Our devices don't have a dedicated recovery partition and that's why those files where used to "pack" cwm!
Sorry for being late.. This is what you have to do to remove recovery ON STOCK ICS
File needed is extracted from 6.1.1.B.1.100, but it may work for other stock ICS compilation
Delete:
/system/bin/recovery.tar
/system/bin/charger
/system/xbin/sh
Download attached file and unzip it. Go into a root file browser (or adb) and replace
/system/bin/chargemon
with the downloaded one!
Procedure FOR STOCK GB is the same as ICS, but using the file attached in THIS post..
File was extracted from stock GB 6.0.B.3.184.. It may work for other GB compilations..
