For all those lazy fellows like me out there who doesn't want each time to open up an elevated command prompt and to type python superr to launch the kitchen in windows...
I created a tiny program Launch Kitchen.exe (attached below) which you can copy to the root of your superr-kitchen3 folder and just double click to launch the kitchen with elevated command prompt previleges (it natively opens with elevated administrator rights, no need to run as administrator) so that no more previlege/adminstrative errors while cooking ROMs. You can easily create a shortcut to the Launch Kitchen.exe on your desktop for ease of access.

This seems cool, but Windows defender deleted the zip right after I downloaded it. Said there was malware. Attached is a screenshot of windows defender history showing the reported malware.

That's false alarm
I had compressed the executable with upx packer to reduce the size and also that the underlying code cannot be easily altered
But,
Packed executables are sometimes detected as malwares because the normal windows ms header is replaced by the packer header..
That's why just don't trust windows defender
If you need I can upload the unpacked executable.
Or you can just ignore the warning in the windows defender
But it's really nice to have a launcher that automatically launches the kitchen with elevated previlegess so that no problem ever occurs due to inadequate admin rights and UAC policy while building, packing or unpacking of ROMs or boot images..
@SuperR.
Here is the uncompressed original executable
No defender problems now...
Sorry for the hiccup And thanks for testing it out...
Good to know. I don't compress my apps, so I'm good here. But I actually made a similar script on my machine. Didn't even think to post it. Lol. You beat me to it!

Making Rooting easier for people, I present to you
Ultimate Noob Rooter
I have built this following the rooting techniques from the following places:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754020

By using this method, you agree that you take full responsabily of any actions or concequences
that might happen to you or your phone. Once again, I will not be responsible for anything.
STEPS
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC, if it asks to install drivers just click yes..
1) Download: http://www.fileserve.com/file/M6guyMH
2) Extract the .zip folder named "RootMEnow.zip" anywhere on your computer
3) Open cmd.exe and drag it from the *bottom right corner* to make cmd full screen. (Must be full screen!).
4) on cmd type: root.bat
5) read and follow what it says
6) you're done
----------------------
Some people might get errors saying "missing .dll"
Simply copy the .dll files and place them in this 2 places in your computer
C:\windows\system
C:\window\system32
----------------------
Credits go to..

I'm a total noob and this way of rooting my slide was easy and worked GREAT!!!! Thank you Xologist you ROCK!!
Thanks-
One thing you may want to add: users have to cd to the directory that they extract the RootmeNOW.zip in, e.g., if you extracted it into the documents folder, you'd have to open cmd, and type
cd C:\users\usernamehere\documents\rootmenow
and then the commands. Some SUPERnoobs don't know to cd to be able to run a batch file.

xologist: I appreciate that you have been trying to consolidate information in the MT3GS forums lately and make things a bit more noob friendly, but this comment just blows my mind.
It is in no way like sending a text.txt document. Not sure how you can even make that leap .
Cmd.exe is a proprietary program written by MS and governed by the license under which you have acquired Windows. One of the chief points in that license is that you are not allowed to redistribute, in whole or in part, Windows. Cmd.exe is quite clearly a part of Windows and not allowed to be distributed.
On the other hand, if I were to create a file called Test.txt, I would presumably put some text in there. That is a file I would have created and is therefor mine to do with what I please, as I would be the creator of the work..
You really MUST remove cmd.exe from your download. Not trying to be difficult, just want the forums here to stay legal

The easiest away to make it "noob proof" would be to make a batch file (.bat) to cd to the directory and execute the commands for the user instead of including command prompt.

Doesn't work.
When cmd returns the # (pound sign), the .bat doesn't know what to keep doing.
Not only that, but if someone downloads it to their user folder, there MIGHT be a windows variable for the user directory similar to ~ in linux, but not sure. So you might not be able to do that. Even so, if someone downloaded it to the wrong location after only scanning directions, it would break the whole process and they'd come here whining "HERP FAIL DEV DIS BROKEN HERE HOW2ROOT DERPPPPPPPP".
It'd be all bad, is what I'm trying to say here, lol.

Guys, calm down.. everything has been fixed..
really didn't think it was possible to screw this up...
but i guess, where there's a will, there's a way.
tried going through instructions. kept getting a lot of errors from cmd, but the commands kept going.
booted back into white screen with writing, and nothing happened.
4. The device will show a progress bar (can take time), ABSOLUTELY DO NOT POWER DOWN WHILE IT'S STILL FLASHING!!!
that step does not happen, nor any of the ones after it. not correctly, anyway.
what am I missing here?

I ignored it and allowed your awesome program to run. You might want to edit the first post to say that antivirus may give a false positive.
EDIT: For the extremely paranoid out there (D4rKn3sSyS is the man! Why doubt his program?), I ran the program through VirusTotal. RESULT: 5/ 42 (11.9%) returned "infected".
Works fine on mine, win 7 x64/x10 mini pro, using Avast free, no virus warning.

Just wondering is anyone new what kind of apps Ubuntu OS will use. will they use .apk like android? or are they going to make a whole other kind of app?

They will use .deb ... Debian Packaging, that's one of the things what makes ubuntu ..

Good question! But in response to jscurtu: That will just be the dpkg package manager extension (that's only good for installing an "app" and cannot be executed like an apk). As you are probably aware android is basically a JVM on Linux. Ubuntu will be different. There will be no "apps" per se and will probably just be extensionless binary ELFs residing in /usr/bin with an icon and application shortcut in /usr/share/applications/ like regular Ubuntu and most other GNU/Linux OS's .

WT...? Yep, you got it right that the .deb format is the package format for the package manager..
..........but the rest just don't make any real sense with the OP question and the one has nothing to do with the other.
Anyway, ill be nice and get the things straight here for ya..
So what you are saying is that there will be no "apps" because its not in a single file, sorry i mean package??
That is just ridiculous ... "App" is just a term for a small Application no matter what the freaking execution is ..
Android programs are compiled into .dex (Dalvik Executable) files, which are basically "zipped" into a apk "package". .
So basically... Android don't execute apk's either, it opens the apk at run time and executes the binary's in the package .. Similar to what a .JAR is for Java programs.
But on Ubuntu and Linux in general, there are allot of ways to execute a program depending on what programming language you have choosed.
So in a GUI environment, users will usually start their programs from a .desktop file that has in short explanation the instructions to the executable optional with parameters, the path and the path to the icon file ..
I am sure the Ubuntu Phone will do that as well..
But because Canonical will allow carriers and manufactures to remove root capability like android... the installed files from the deb package would need to be installed where the phone (user) has rights .. So that might not be standard way, I guess there will be a special folder for phone apps .. Cant wait to find out..
here is a example how a .desktop file looks like :
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox Web Browser
Exec=firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false

You've explained it the best, but I don't see what was wrong with my answer.. the apps will be written in c++ and qml according to canonical, which are then compiled into raw binary files (unlike semi compiled dexs). Ubuntu should be able to run anything compiled for the arm architecture. While we could get into a flamewar about how Linux executes binaries, if someone like the op above were to ask what app system Ubuntu uses I'd say (for the sake of simplicity) they use fully compiled c/c++ binaries, not a deb which is only an installer which does not copy to a folder and constantly unpack at runtime like an apk does. Sure there are a lot of languages out there but the interpreters for other languages have to written in c/c++ to be executed on the target machine (you could argue that androids dalvik is like this).. as for the lack of root I've heard rumors that the usr directory has special permission and they've found a way to secure it enough to allow this. I have about 0 time to review this so I hope it makes sense.

As always you are more than welcome to add this to the op if you wish.
Muniz I ran the batch file and it worked great getting rid of all that bloat. Thank you very much. One thing that surprised me though is that I went from 5.15GB of used internal storage to 4.98GB after debloating and that's after running CCleaner to get rid of any left over junk. I was expecting to gain more memory space considering how many apps were removed. Is this normal? Thanks

there's three settings in the batch script. which one did you use?
also, the bloat apps aren't really that big, they're all near the 10-20mb or less ballpark. accumulating 20 of them up probably frees up like maybe 100-200 mb of space. this is of course wild speculation as I usually make but still, something to consider

Thanks for getting back. I used extreme setting. I guess the files are not as large as I thought. I may not have gained much memory space but at least the bloat is gone.
I gave adb root permissions through SuperSU, ran this (slightly customized extreme, I kept Hangouts), and verified that the folders have been removed. After doing that, many of the apps I still had to manually uninstall (is that normal?), and some I'm not sure if I even can remove some (I just have a disable option).
I know you guys know better than I, but is simply removing these directories from /system/app enough to uninstall the applications?
Thanks.

Is my impression (capturing ota update is not hard) correct? If so, why hasn't it been done? If the answers to those questions are "Yes" and "No good reason," respectively, I might be able to donate some of my time to do it. Would that be useful?

Open the .bat file and you can read it all to see.
adb is not a recognized command

You may have deleted adb.exe from the extracted folder (maybe you havent extracted all the files), you must have the 4 files included at zip:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Debloater.bat
solved! thank you

thank you so much i finally was able to root my phone last night! you are awesome!
it says "no such file or directory" for everything on my phone when I run it. Any ideas there?
Hope this helps. You will need the following:
1. Linux
2. Nemo (included w/Linux Mint)
3. squashfs-tools
4. A system.sfs of your choosing
Watch the video:
This may only work with Xenial.
As always I am open for suggestions
Nautilus does the job if you are using Gnome or Unity, rather than Cinnamon or Mate.
PCManFM on LXDE, PCManFM-QT (I forget it's proper name) on LXQT.
Thunar on XFCE.
And there are others on other DE's (I forget the names).
Of course, you can install the file manager of your choice without installing an entire DE (i.e.: Nemo on Gnome, Nautilus on XFCE, PCManFm on KDE, etc).

Squshfs-tools was a CLI utitity, last I heard. When did it get integrated into the GUI?
I know I've tried in the past and have not had the same result. When it asked to search for a command that was new to me. Can Nautilus, PCmanFM, Thunar, etc repack it and make a bootable iso?

Ah, sorry for the confusion.
I wasn't referring to SquashFS-Tools, only to your list of requirements.
There is some SquashFS-Tools integration with Nautilus, however I am not sure that it is possible yet just like that in the GUI).
However it is possible to add scripts as extensions to Nautilus, once you add Nautilus-Scripts (or Nautilus-Extensions, or something similar, I don't really remember.
I think that it's also similarly possible with Nemo or Caja (I had just remembered another name), and perhaps there is a way to add scripts to PCManFM (It's been a few years since I had started using Linux on Lubuntu, so I barely remember anything from back then).

Is this new? It seems cross platform, so a kernel update? Not sure what that would have to do with GUI integration though.
I tried to use squashfs-tools and searched endlessly and got frustrated. I don't have a solid grasp of the command line, I understand the language but I can't write it. It was easier to use RMX Tools, but that required Windows
Anyway just happened to click on the system.sfs and that new popup appeared.
Thanks for helping.
