h311s|KITCHEN (Hells Kitchen) is an Ubuntu-based Linux Distro
that is already setup and ready to go for developing:
ROMs (in accordance with dsixda's Android-Kitchen)
Kernels (in accordance with championswimmer's Kernel-Tools)
Built-in tools for modifying and theming APKs (Brut.all's apktool, jesusfreke's smali/baksmali and pxb1988's dex2jar)
A flashing utility for specific devices (Heimdall)
MTP, ADB, and Fastboot (that's right!)
A couple of Java GUIs (Emmanuel Dupuy's JD-GUI and Tomas Varaneckas's JAD)​
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Most words that are in color, are linked FYI)
CHECK POST #2 FOR REVIEWS FROM OUR ADMINS AND MODS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As much as I wanted to include the sun-java-jdk and jre, it was not possible because of the fact I wanted it to be part of Ubuntu. There are work arounds that I am currently looking into.
It has both openjdk 6 and 7. And they are fully functioning and working for ROM building with dsixdas and championswimmers kitchens that are included.
I have built a couple of public roms already from a live USB install.
This will not work on super brand new custom setups that have problems loading Linux already. There are a few graphics cards that hate me and Ubuntu so we will have to find out more by trial and error. Its only a 1.4gb download.
The source is below and is on Github. To use the source code, you will have to download it and unpack some of it. I attempted to upload everything unpacked, but got a notice from Github because the repo became 3.5 GB unpacked and they have a "rule of thumb" which is totally understandable.

I have attempted to include all the licenses within this post, but recieved this message:

What the heck is h311s|KITCHEN?
h311s|KITCHEN is:
- a work in progress and in beta stages (please be kind).
- an Ubuntu-based Linux distro with many, BUT NOT, tools for creating your own custom ROMs.
- a distro that can be ran live or with persistence on a USB stick, or installed to your hard drive.
- a distro that can be installed in software like VirtualBox.
- an already ready-to-go kitchen and environment all-in-one
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Persistence Mode and Live Mode:
Persistence Mode will allow you to save changes to your USB stick so that after you boot, any files saved from you session, will still be there when you reboot. You can practiaclly carry a full Ubuntu Distro in your pocket.
Live Mode (Great for NOOBS who are afraid that they will mess up the current configurations and that are not comfortable with Linux) will pretty much do the exact opposite of Persistence Mode. Whenever you reboot, no matter what you have done in the previous session and no matter what was saved to the current session, will be reset and erased. So every time you reboot, you have a fresh new installation. This is useful also for anyone who wants a fast setup that they can take with them in there pocket and use on MOST computers. Also, you can run in Live Mode and just save your work to an internal hard drive on the computer you are using.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What the heck isn't h311s|KITCHEN?
h311s|KITCHEN is not:
- a magic tool to click a button and build a ROM
- a step-by-step guide for building ROMs (there are too many tutorials as it is)
- a reason to build your first ROM and start sharing it immediatley
- a magic tool to click a button and build a ROM
- setup for compiling AOSP from source

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: I take no credits for dsixda's original "android-kitchen". dsixda has given me permission to include his kitchen under the agreement that I never alter or change it. The "android-kitchen" was git-cloned from dsixda's Github and has not been altered in any way.
You might see others refer to this as a "kitchen", and I do not want anyone to misinterpret the meaning with dsixda's. There is the definition of the word "kitchen" and then there is the name "kitchen" that almost always refers to dsixda's kitchen. dsixda's "android-kitchen" is a "kitchen" by definition, and since it is the best kitchen tool around, people refer to it as "the kitchen". A "kitchen" by definition is an Android Development Environment where developing takes place. So, this is considered a "kitchen" when using it by definition. But, I would appreciate it if nobody ever started referring to this project as "the kitchen". dsixda's kitchen has been around for some time, and has deserved to be known as "the kitchen". So please, this is "Hells-Kitchen" or the "Kitchen-Distro". Thank you.
ALSO: If you are having an issue with anything on this distro (ie: dsixda's kitchen, apktool, etc...), PLEASE do some research to see if others are having an issue in the developer's forum thread (ie: for the kitchen, go to dsixda's kitchen thread, etc...). If there seems to be no issues there, it is almost certainly something having to do with the distro itself, and NOT the tool. A lot of the developers were kind enough to give me permission to include their tools (even if their open-source license already permit it, I like to make sure the devs themselves are okay with what I am doing), and I do not want them receiving confusing posts on their threads about their tools not working (if this ever happens) when in fact it was a problem within the distro. Voice any concerns here first. Please.

Taking Applications
Someone mentioned to me that this could turn out to be an even better Distro if we had a good team of people together working on it. I would like to get a team/committee together for this project. This is something that every dev should have on his keychain or as an emergency backup. Anyone interested in getting together with me on this, please send me a message. At the moment, I want to get a few other Developers together. There will always be space for newcomers and people learning the process, but for now I want to just get a handful of great and seasoned devs together on this project. Please contact me.​

Thank you sooo much for giving it a chance. It has been tested by two VERY well-known Developers and they loved it. I have only had one person out of about 15 say that their hardware was not compatible with it.
Install it live and start out clean every time. Or use the persistence if you need to. This thing hauls major a*s even on a USB 2.0. I have actually never even tried it on a 3.0 USB Stick. It is fast enough with the 2.0.

I am glad you liked it. I can't believe I have this posted in the main Android Chef Forum and you are the only one that has tried it out. I am happy your happy. And its in beta still. So if you have any requests, let me get them. Nobody else is. Lol.

Hope u don't mind people starting a mirror, or torrents. I'm heaving a hard time downloading the iso.
I'm on 100mbit but running @65kb. Faster mirrors would be great with bigger downloads. :good:

Because if people are truly interested in learning to develop, they will want to go through the step by step of setting up the environment themselves, it gives the user much stronger understanding of what is going on. For the Linux noobs that this sorta thing is likely to appeal to, now they won't know how to do basic things like install a package or do a dependency trace. Not bashing your work, just answering your question.

I intended it to be a "live" Distro. And for educational purposes to newcomers. This way they can go through the source code and see a full environment and how it works as well. There are sooo many AIO, ready to-go, "push-button" tools out there. For Windows mainly. Building with a lot of the tools already provides no knowledge of packaging or installation. As I wrote in the OP, this is not intended for building your first ROM and then sharing it immediately. There is still much to add and change to this. Which when I release the stable version, there will be more information included and more for the newcomer to work with.
There will be a 32-bit distro and a straight Debian-based distro as well coming soon.
I also hope to split the HELLS-KITCHEN into a separate "noob" and a separate "dev" distro.
Thank you for your concern, as I share it with you and I do not want people that have no knowledge of android/linux building ROMs without knowing the process.
This distro was first built for someone in a class I am teaching to build ROMs. I volunteer my time to teach and help out about 15 new developers, and teach a daily class (2 three hour classes a day). I take them through the whole process that I am familiar with. I help them setup a development environment, all the way to building a ROM and using git.
Thank you thewadegeek for your input. I am honored to receive it

I am using caps so other people will read this. Not for you SiNtEnEl.
I DO NOT WANT ANYONE STARTING A MIRROR yet. Just because it is a beta distro. I need to know and be able to keep a record of downloads for stats on the "bug-report" and "pastebin" page I am building.
This is open source, so I cannot demand it, but would appreciate it if nobody did during beta stages.
This will help me and whoever else is involved build a better distro.
I will mirror and torrent this distro tonight. Please take down any mirrors please.
Thank you for bringing this up.
