Hey all,
Kind of an odd request. Have been enjoying all the cooked ROMs here lately but have been interested in trying an original, untouched ROM -- one of the leaked ones from MS. Can anyone point me to a place I can get them?
Thanks so much!

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't thing any untouched ROM available for TP is out. I thought the cooks had based their work on a rom image for a specified device and each rom for each device was adapted to run on it.

Ah, I didn't know that. Well, if anyone can point me to something at least close to original it would be much appreciated
You can always grab Da_G kitchen, follow the steps descibed and make a clean rom. It 's an easy step by step procedure. I have done it before even I 'm not a "chef".

* O * M * G * !!! I totally just cooked my own ROM! LOL! Flashing as we speak, thank you for that suggestion, that WAS really easy. Now to see just how "original" I made it, since I didn't know what 3/4 of the stuff I was selecting/unselecting are.
EDIT: Works great! But hm! Seems everything but the camera and Smart touch are working.
Good to hear that worked for you. As far as the camera problem, maybe you left out something when cooking. For the smart touch you can use
tnyynt SmartTouch -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2547231&postcount=68
Have a nice cooking
PS. There is a new chef in town or what??? LOL
Try changing the camera app to make it work
Da G's Clean ROM and Timolol are very close to stock ROMs.
These roms are flashable with xRecovery 0.1 (backup restore)
update 1
slightly updated AOSP rom to try :
AOSP 2.1 v.0.1
update 2
firmware load fixed, vibrate fixed, some other small fixes.
AOSP 2.1 v.0.2
Todo:
Voicecalls (GSM/3G)
Location services
Google checkin provider
Camera
reserved.............
only if we could mount sdcard and start adb logcat we could investigate further..
It was nice to roam around in 2.2
If we want to create working rom we should know which files from the original ROM are the drivers so we can take them and try to put them in the custom rom.Otherwise froyo will not be able to interact with our specific hardware.
you can ask some one more experians in custom roms so he could recognise the drivers
even if he don't have x8
remember: just ask for help , dont be rude and ask for custom rom
sorry for my bad english and for my interrubed
i am building a working one please wait. i have discovered the drivers and etc.
When it will be ready for test?

Best of Luck mate....
any progress? any good news for 2.2 froyo for our x8s??
any updates about the custom 2.2 froyo rom ?
now a little bit work, but just some minutes, and it says system is not responding and restart, but not full restart, just it get to the boot animation and then start.
the first step: i have to make it work, patches and drivers the second step. i tryed much thing to get working it, and i am sure i am not as far as i was.
I really hope that you will get this running because as it seams this will be the only way to get Froyo or Gingerbread on our X8.
Hope you will make this works. And if I can help with something let me know.
Hope this helps zdzihu released sources for his x10 froyo rom

Maybe it's power managment, display, or some other driver problem? Or kernel?
Dear all,
as I think owain is rather busy with the honeycomb experiences (at least that's what I would do in his place), I created a ROM from 3.2.0, 3.2.1 and MiniCM-1.0.0-Beta1 (6.1) ROMS to provide some updates.
This is for the MINI PRO for certain (honestly I didn't look into the differences on the file level and try to create something for the mini aswell).
Also worth to note, I have no experience in Android development at all, but has 10+ years of dev experience, so this helped somewhat.
(Owain, if you read this I hope this doesn't belong to what you wrote in 00banner, just wanted to help a little).
Contents:
- Everything up to 3.2.1 from owain
- Detect ext3/4 partitions and mount as such - from nobodyAtall (should be ok now)
- 2.3.3 market - from nobodyAtall, no forced closes (TESTED)
- Ubuntu fonts for readability (credits go to the original author)
- sysctl tweaks (by anon67)
- Tried to fixed the FM radio, but it's a FC for me after the initial screen appears and bluetooth is switched on... - based on owain & nobodyAtall's work
- put back ADW Launcher (as in 3.1)
It still suffers from 'SD blabla' and reboot, if you disconnect from VPN, close root explorer, etc. - generally if you mess around with something that is related to rooting or root rights; couldn't find the root cause with no experience, sorry. Otherwise it's stability is like the previous ones (did not test much, but should be).
Installation with xRecovery, standard procedure (see owain's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961783)
The rom is here (updated, fixed somewhat): http://rapidshare.com/files/451337572/cyan321b_fixed.zip
I also fixed the honeycomb theme which is here: http://rapidshare.com/files/451243627/honeycomb_fixed.zip
Credits should all go the original authors and owners.
Some things worth to note maybe (described 1000x times already, but):
- Switch GPS off, if you don't need it (it is on by default)
- Long press any text input field and select 'Android keyboard' for input method, if you cannot type uppercase
- Press BLUE+Sym and space for special characters
- etc.
Thanks a lot,
arch
But...
Maybe also worth noting that as a novice I might made some errors that has the effect that something won't work that worked before... so use it at your own risk.
Thanks, arch
LaunchPro force close
Thanks a ****ing lot mate!
Will post this in original thread when im home also credits to you ofc
I didn't really got much time for it really busy on HoneyComb GingerBread and MIUI
And this isn't what mike and i meant in the 00banner
Just that people dont install the rom on other devices
As you saw (i'm pretty sure you did read the script) it wont even work on a other devices lol
Again thanks alot
Owain

Hey Owain,
don't trust me so much, I think it's a lot better to check what nobodyAtall did in the last days and not look into this one... It's just some homebrew stuff, that is maybe useful for others.
Good luck with all the thousand ROMs you develop! Don't forget to finish one of those
Thanks again, good luck,
arch

Hey mate, using a Mini pro? Tried a factory reset? Which ROM did you had previously?
Not sure what's going wrong, but I get a 37kb file with when I try to download. Appears to be correct filename .zip

Just checked it, downloading fine for me... Could you please retry?
Thanks for responding, tried another couple of times. Miren, skyfire and stock, as android, chrome and iphone ids. Not to worry will try again when the desktops running in a few days
Just downloaded a 101 MB file.
Downloading fine here.
Thanks !
Good to see that atleast someone incorporated the sysctl tweaks (it was honestly not mine , but i figured out the configs which is required , if you have sysctl in the init , then you dont need the app but only the configs).
I got a bit confused (please dont scold me ;-) ) , how is this ROM different from the one owain has posted ? I think FM still does FC on this one ? Please help me understand.
And yes , one more system app which i came about in this XDA forum itself (and in market) . although in beta state is SuperPower (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807989). I am yet to try it out (did try it out on the Gingerbread ROM - CM7 ) but had issues in it. Did not try it out on CM 6 ROM.
Thanks again !
Edit : OK i now get what all are the differences ... will try it out surely
Good to see someone continuing to develop 2.2 for the mini pro.
Might be a little bit off topic, but if i build android 2.2 from source and flash it, what are the chances it will even boot?
In the honeycomb theme could you change the color of the font in the notification slide because white on white it is impossible to read
Thank you
Many thanks for this upgrade try this one out
and of cource
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

if you got right vendor and such thing and mini pro tweaks it will boot xD
if you don't what im talkign about now i will not boot lol
Great job, many thanks!!!
Synchronization with Appbrain works?
Looks good so far !
so far the ROM looks good and working well (apart from su related reboots and FM FC's ) .
One peculiar thing observed also (although reported before in the owain's original thread) is that if you have moves app's to SD card , sometimes you see same application appearing twice in your App list . Kind of gives a weird feeling.
Not sure if this is a feeling , but if you change the notification bar setting to not show battery charge % , it seems that the battery charge lasts longer. Maybe its a psychological effect .

I guess i should try, I would like a clean base for 2.2.1, I think that using the cyanogenmod image for the hero might be the wrong approach.
As long as I can just get it to boot. Good thing that bricking the mini pro is more or less impossible. With a locked bootloader, I can always rely on SEUS.
These tweaks you are talking about, could you share that information?
Hello, i'm new here and running this ROM flawlessly. I'm using adw launcher right and thinking about change it back to launcher pro or other. Do you know how to change adw to launcher-pro?
Thanks for the rom & help

Hi.
Atm i am developing a bit, but i try to find the best kitchen for the SGS2. I mean programs to edit APKs, deodex, sign, align etc...
I am using "dsixda's kitchen" atm, working good, but there are some problems.
When deodexing the newest ICS (4.0.3 LPB) samsung keyboard gets force closes after flashing. Also WIFI isnt connecting.
Moreover i am flashing CF-Root, but e.g. Titanium backup isnt working.
Maybe its because of this kitchen, i dont really know... so there is the question to you: what do you use to deodex etc or what do you know? i used something from "sicopat" in the past, but i think thats only for gingerbread.
Thank you for answering,
greetz, Cloud2F

DefaultThemesCustomizer by Adrian DC : http://arcsgatebyadriandc.comze.com/ics_defaultthemescustomizer.html
The application will allow you to set your own wallpaper on each default color schemes of the SONY ICS ROM,
just by simple choices and a single Wallpaper.png to change !
The script handles the images creation and building, there's nothing to worry about.
Provided apks are from the official 4.0.4, but you can replace them by 4.0.3 apks if you want to use the application with this version of ICS.
Now even works for SONY GB 2.3.4 !
Also provided by default is my own Bokeh-6-4 Wallpaper, which I do use in most of my previews.
Bye !

If you like my work, don't forget to press the :good: Thanks button ! Thanks you ^^
He he he, why dont you wait posting until ready?
I know, but since I spent the last 4 + 4 hours working on it,
and that I finalised the whole pack a few minutes ago,
I needed the thread link to add a shortcut to it in the pack.
Just a few big minutes, don't worry
But if you want to test it, contact me by PM ^^
Looking forward to it!
Sent from my LT18i using XDA
That's it, you can test it !
I'm waiting for feedbacks, as you all know,
there's always something that can be weird on Windows..
But it should be good, works fine on the two PCs I could test it on,
and with some users who tested it for me before release.
'night everyone !
But I want to use it with Gingerbread 2.3.4
Can not?
Send me both apks by PM, I'll make sure you can. Bye!

When I open and select color, then there on i get an error VCOMP100.dll missing.
in-spite of errors i am able to follow the steps with error after each step.
Finally when I open the created theme, no changes are made.
I have no idea whether error is because of my operating system or because of program error.
BTW i am on windows xp sp3

That's weird..
Because I tested it on the little Dell with XP SP3 of my father
yesterday night at 3am xD, and it went perfectly well..
I've added the dll you miss, version 2 online, let me know !
EDIT : Working on a new version 3 compatible with SONY GB 2.3.4..
That's it, done ! Should work on both ICS and GB 2.3.4 !
(Does work on my ICS 4.0.4, please confirm GB).
I can only change one theme of the defaultthemes.apk...???
not all 7 of them...
It would be awsome if I could change all seven themes....
:good::good:
Then it already is awesome xD !
At the end, you can choose to customize an other color or exit the software.
Bye !
(News, sorry for double posting..)
A whole new version is online, based on my current development of HomeCustomizer which might be released soon.
Much for efficient, more secure and with an automatic creation of flashable zip in addition to the AndroidFilesInstaller files.

Guys, do I need a rooted device in order to use this tool? Does it work on Xperia Arc also?

Hi !
My DefaultThemesCustomizer application doesn't require root since the new version 7.
Indeed, since I now also build a flashable zip to install the files,
in addition to my original AndroidFilesInstaller files,
you now get a Flashable zip to Install the apk and an other one to restore
the original files you just modded !
But if like me you prefer to use my AndroidFilesInstaller, then yes, you need root.
The application should work with every ICS phone from the Xperia 2011 serie,
but so far, I can only assure the Arc S and the Arc are working fine with it,
Ray, Neo/Neo V and others are still to be confirmed.
Bye !

No problem.
Nonono don't rename the zip, they are build as they have to be ^^
Flashable zip are to be installed from the CWM Recovery.
And now that I think of it... You should need root to install CWM on the ROM...
Or if you did unlock your bootloader, which would seam unprobable here,
you could use the normal CWM without root...
Anyways, root is so much better than normal.. The choice is yours
EDIT : You should try installing the apks without AndroidFilesInstaller, just by installing them normally.
Since they are system apps, I'm not sure you'll be able to install them that way, but who knows?
If you look closer to the modded files, you'll see that you get :
- FlashableZip[ThemesCustomized] > Flashable zip to install new Themes
- FlashableZip[ThemesOriginal] > Flashable zip with original Themes
- system~app[DefaultThemes] > Files to install with my AndroidFilesInstaller.sh
This last one contains the very apk that you just modded,
so try to install them manually..
If it doesn't work, think about rooting.. It's much better afterward ^^.
vassil_bk said:
Thank you! Unfortunately this was the first thing I tried and it didn't work. It gave me: "Application not installed." and only the "OK" button.
Thank you again for your help! It is getting obvious that I should consider rooting the device if I want to change these things...
Still I don't understand why Sony don't give this opportunity through the settings menu but lock some predefined (mostly a lot ugly) themes instead...

Yep, root might be the solution to many problems ;D
Ahah yeah, if the phone brands did give us full design control and choices,
things would be much more easy for users..
Hmm i dont know if im doing something wrong here... but
Okay so I get to the part where it ask to choose the following defaults colors, It opens a window with the folders so I choose that wallpaper and try to assign it to number 1, click enter and it just loops. Opens another window with the samething...confused here.
I feel like im doing this part wrong.
Will check that asap, I'll let you know.
Envoyé depuis mon Xperia Arc S.
EDIT : I tried it, it's working just fine..
By assigning, what do you exactly mean...?
The only thing you have to do is to change the wallpaper
if you want to, but it has to keep the same name,
so as the mask png which also is needed and can be changed.
Then just choose the color by the number and press enter.
If you try to rename the pngs, which isn't said to be done anywhere,
the securities I've put in the script will make the request loop
until you fix the errors and have propre pngs in place.
Hope it helped.
Bye!
