Hi guys,
Over at the HTC Hero forum I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM. It allows you to do basic things such as rooting a shipped ROM, adding apps2sd, modifying the task killer memory threshold, etc.
The appropriate settings are now in place to make it work for the Magic.
Here is the link to the kitchen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Before you flash your new custom ROM made from this kitchen, please make a Nandroid backup first of your existing ROM!
Thank you, and enjoy!
Just a question - is there a Wiki page which lists all the shipped ROMs available for the Magic? I couldn't find any on my own. I only found the ones at the htc.com site.
...
Hi man, i just want to thank you for your kitchen, i dont know a answer to your question
but i want to reserve this post,
my plan is to make a short instruction on how to port a rom from hero, using your kitchen... (hope its ok with you)
not a full how to, but som guidence... cause i am still learning and still making many misstakes...
But i am gonna try to make my best.
I DONT HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT NOW... LATER.

That's a good idea, and that also gives me another idea for the kitchen.
Usually when we port a ROM from another device, we just replace the other device's boot.img-kernel with our own device's boot.img-kernel. Although there may be issues with driver incompatibility, this is the general way to get the ROM booting. (Also you have to make sure you use the correct base address when using mkbootimg)
Wow
sorry it's off topic but damn good to see dsixda over here on android. I remember your roms from my diamond and elfin. Now i think a nexus one is my next device if you're cooking for em lol. As for the kitchen i think this is an amazing idea to get some more chefs in the game.

Hey man, I remember you ;-) The kitchen is working for Nexus One. However, I'm not cooking ROMs this time because public ROMs are too much work when you want to satisfy hundreds of people at once The kitchen will take the load off the cooks and also provide an enjoyable learning experience for people who want to customize a ROM the way they like it. We already have someone who has made a public ROM from this kitchen, and hopefully there will be more!
I am still looking for the downloadable shipped rom. hopefully it would be found soon. i looked on the htc site but i guess i am still lost. but thanks again for something great.
Sounds like fun. I'll try it out on myTouch 1.2

You can try this as well:
http://www.htc.com/www/support/magic.html
so with this one should be able to build roms from any rom to try make it work on your phone?

As long as they are Magic ROMs, then yes they should work.
ok so the base has to be magic for it to work, so in total it is to maske it easier to modify roms to your liking? no porting ect?

Yes you need a Magic ROM as your base. In theory it should work with any Magic ROM, but I'm not 100% familiar with all the variants of the HTC Magic so maybe there are incompatibilities?
I'll be working on porting ROMs later in the day.. I have to try the new porting scripts on my Hero first.
ok, i will give it a go when we can try porting a bit more fun working with android 2.1
i just noticed a problem with the T-Mobile myTouch 3G ROMs, as my script only looks for "HTC Magic" in the build.prop and not T-Mobile myTouch 3G... I'll get to fixing that soon. I'll check for "sapphire" instead, which is more generic.
Ok I have put up an update to the kitchen, version 0.24. This one should recognize all ROMs from all variants of the HTC Magic (e.g. T-Mobile myTouch 3G).
Also another option has been added, which will allow you to port a ROM from another Android device to your Magic (it will boot up but you may have to make some changes to get everything working properly, such as drivers). Has been tested on an HTC Hero.

Hi XDA-DEVS! I am gonna be a rom builder and I would love some idea's and I am gonna need help on how to accomplish somethings in the rom. I am trying to go with an OEM mix, like shaps. So can you guys help me get started? I don't really want to start customizing the bootscreens. I was mainly going for a HTC ROM/AT&T ROM hybrid. It would have all the apps from at&t and the internet settings and be biased on the HTC rom with all the goodness. Of course I would remove the trial's and I make it better. I would want to make as many hybrids as possible for each carrier. So I hope you guys can help me .
Also it will be called HyBR!d X. LOL

Cool, thanks! I also want to make a theam of people who cook roms. Any one wanna join the HyBR!d X ROM building Team?
Everyday i'm looking thru this forum trying to figure out how to cook roms.
I'm sure there are others out there trying to do the same. All im finding are kitchens and easybakeovens.
I really need help trying to become a cook like ttran itje ivan etc. or even better.
I made this thread to put all the links and all the programs needed to do this in on place.
If your willing to help herald please contribute we need more COOKS!!
Just to have more varieties of roms thanks
I have looked and haven't found much... and what I have found is very vague if that.
On top of that when I try to take a part someone elses rom's I always get errors and such.
Be nice if we got help.
What the hell doews IVAN released his Easy bake oven!!! Please do not use it for cooking! It MIGHT work!
hahahaha. lol sorry. But that would be the first way tos tart. clean rom ... kitchen... an dall OEm packs needed.....
good luck
Ivan's Easy Bake Oven is great.... if you can get it to work properly... of course it is called easy bake oven so its user friendly but I want something more advanced... you try to tell me you use that to build all your rom's?
Until he comes out with his new oven I am stuck using the redclean boot screen and all the apps he has in the sys folder because no one tells you what to do and what not to do.

To help the original poster I have found another kitchen besides ivan's that is also in beta. It amy be easier but I have not fully played with it.

A lilttle hard to find since its not where you would expect it.
there are:
anichillus: hypercore -- have a look deepen in Herald Mobile 6
bepe: most used kitchen
www.ppckitchen.com
VisualROmstudio... but i guess it is still in process....
hypercore is really messed up on vista, visual rom studio won't let me edit the OS, bepe is confusing as all heck, looking at ppckitchen now.
Thanks for the list. There is also a new HTC Rom image editor in the development forum but its beta and I get errors with it too LOL
there will be hypercor II based complete on flash programing.. looking really sweet.....
but we have to wait..

Hmm.. that one looks extremely complicated. I know how to extract the dump with imgfs but not sure what to do after that... everyone says use bepe's kitchen but... that doesn't help since his kitchen doesn't really have instructions on what to do. I have tried to merge the JustClean rom from the easybakeoven with other roms and still no luck.
I have even tried the package tool... and it doesn't create any packages so not sure what the point is.
It would be nice if someone could respond with info that would help us in some way.
I have found the issue with creating packages... its with ASerg's recent ROM
The other ROM I liked and wanted to merge (Touch IT 7.0) works great now except for some missing files... the RGU files seem to be missing for half the stuff but the ROM is not yet complete so I understand.
I have asked ASerg and a couple others for OEM and SYS folders with no luck so I guess I am out.
OK. I'm working on a port of PPCkitchen for these ROMs. If you want, I'll post a step by step on how to cook from scratch, all the way to creating packages, etc. I also created an unreleased EasyPortKitchen so that you can port things. But truly, the best to learn is the way we all learned, trial and error. While trying to do one thing, you learn 20. Mind you... I have VERY limited time... And Just2Clean is almost done.

WOW... you do alot IVAN.
And you are completely correct every time you learn how to do one thing right... you also learn how to do that same thing wrong.
I think it would be nice to have at least some help... I finally figured out some of the issues but still since there is no documentation to any of the tools its hard to "seek help" Its not like a car or computer where you have an instruction manual and you just choose not to use it.

ivan no rush whenever you have time. I understand you have other projects neoobs and I maybe others would be glad if there was a step by step guide. I would love to learn on my own like you and others but somethings are very confusing.

can anyone list the programs and links they use to cook roms.
and any OEM packages.
or you if could place links of where you got everything
that would be nice. Thanks for your help!!

Perhaps the HTC stuff from this rom, and the OS from the Xperia 20226 - although both of these are Beta roms, stability may be an issue.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Reading the post it seems that it will benefit Diamond owners more than Kaiser owners, plus there's nothing there that can help with porting Manilla over.
But I've been wrong before, although it was only 1 time.

Hope this isn't too n00b of a question, but what about the OS version? If the UI won't work, that 's fine; but perhaps the OS is a bit more optimized and will work well for the kaiser..? what about the Radio? can it be used? Is it any better than what we have now?
Thanks in advance for any new information and answers to my questions!

Nope radio's won't work. GSLEON bravely tried to flash a Diamond Radio and it bricked his device. I would recommend that you wouldn't do this.
The OS version is what I am talking about.
The Windows build is 19960.1.2.2
Did the dump and alot of nice programs built into the SYS folder....problem is like the Diamond is that it is made for a VGA screen so in order to use a majority of the programs they need to be scaled down or reconfigured...
Doing a ROM right now with an XIP Port and moderated SYS port will let you know how it goes!!!
ryncppr, Im counting on you Bub!
Tried to install the opera .cab for it.
Got this Error.
Code:
Setup Error:
Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.

Hello everyone,
I got a surprize in my mailbox this morning. I have been searching for the new OS kitchen to be ported to our wizards. the latest one that is being offered on the kaiser forum. As far as I know the build is a couple of weeks old at best.
So, anyway, user SamuelTee sent me some links for it.
SamuelTee said:
You mean the SYS part of it? the 5.2.20270 I found on some thai page. Unfortunately can't remember where. But here is a ROM Kitchen (including SYS 5.2.20273, OEM and ROM) for the ASUS P525. Don't get scared. Part of the SYS parts are in the OEM (kind of messed up IMHO ). But everythings there.

I think that MOLSKI J.VD.Spank and IT"SRIGHT will do a much better job porting a kitchen for us than I will. Perhaps this is why I am posting this for everyone's consideration. I will certainly try to port it; but I just think that someone else can do a beter job.
Looks good, will check it out when I have the time for it (vacation is over, back at work again )!

By the way, the asus kitchen is all russian. even GMaps has only one language LOL.
The other "pure" is an nbf. and I haven't had the chance to dump it with hypercore; I need the old core kitchen to do it.
This week i'm gonna port this build to the Wizard. Very busy with work since I'm back from vacation... So have some patiance...
I have now uploaded a 5.2.20273 and now the trick to get and change the OS
So i have now the 5.2.20273 os file is not the "71, but i dont know whats the latest edition ;-(
I am thinking to collect OS and XIP files
273 is the latest one. I also should have put the number in the post "another sourse"
Ok, but what is the advantage while 273 is newer??...
I'm still confused because your fail in using my kitchen which support porting automatically !!!!
I am using your kitchen
in fact my wizard is running off it.

Good luck.
Now that Haykuro is gone we need someone else to step up.... i don't have my Magic yet but it is being released here in 2wks....
I have been using Dudeoflife's rom on my G1 for a few weeks now and it rocks....
here is a statement he made today:
The dude's g1 builds will exist as long as he has a g1.
If dude ever gets his own magic (sigh....) he'll make roms for both.
If haykuro is really done...the dude may continue his work on hero...using this unwatermarked rosie image.
Can we start a collection for a magic for him?
Any takers?
I would like to learn how to develop rom' s by my own.
But I don' t know how to start.
Would say my linux skills are not bad, but as I said I don' t know how to start.
If any developer will give me some hint' s I will start cooking roms
why don't you give Dude a PM and see where he learnt..... it's over my head- i am a linux noob... theming i can do though.....
Anyone know how big the difference is between the magic and the g1?
Looking at the 2 ion roms that Haykuro made, it seems that only difference is the boot.img. So it might "just" be a case of making a new kernel for the magic rom.
