[REVISED] Autosculpt BETA 1.00 ROM Kitchen + Link Working!

UPDATE: I am posting a revised version of this kitchen because I noticed the version I uploaded had some nonworking buttons and I noticed lots of silly mistakes when I went back to the source code. I also have added a lot of exception handling. I also realized that by batch file doing the dumping had some errors.
Autosculpt 1.00 BETA REVISED
This is another ROM kitchen based off of bepe's PKGTool and BuildOS, uses Tadzio's improved IMGFS tools, and incorporates some simple Visual Basic code.
What you can do with this release:
Create a dump and make packages using PKGTool
Add/Remove packages
Create splashscreen, HTC Logo, and startup screen
Add splashscreen, HTC logo, and startup screen
Set all components of rom to one location for easy access to build (for lazy people like me who don't want to go searching)
(When this thing is finally released, G3 and G4 flashing support will be enabled)
Since the kitchen is still in its beta, I have disabled to option to flash the ROM to the device.
WARNING: I am not responsible for a bricked device if you choose to go ahead and flash the ROM to the device by starting up the RUU manually!
Last but not least, credit goes to bepe, maimach, tadzio, the-equinoxe for their tools that were used in this kitchen. Also, I thank Faria, mUn, mfrazzz, anichillus, Molski, and countless others who have directly/indirectly helped me understand about ROM cooking.

The update files are attached along with a readme to tell you where to put them

Maybe I'm missing something, but I never saw anyplace to download this in your first post. Just a description. I figured you were uploading and then forgot about this until you just replied...

oh sorry, I was hoping you would post a request in this thread. i just wanted to know who was going to try it. NEW LINK: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pm7az1
as of now, i know that only nothin and badbert have it. if anyone is trying it, please post in this thread.

Wondering if anyone was successful in building a ROM file using this kitchen if you've had the time.
Feedback of any type is appreciated!

Anyone?
Anyone have any type of feedback? I'm kinda banking on that before I make a final release. I understand though if you don't have the time to test this.

I tried to download with that link and it gives me a rar file that does not open or contain anything. Any way to upload it to sendspace or to rapidshare

same here. the file is 1k i was looking forward to this.
my dreams were crushed

No luck with the upload link
I too got a very small file that was not in any particular format.
kernelguy

Sorry. I didn't know. Uploaded to sendspace. Link provided in previous post and and first post. Weird how lots of things I upload have problems with them!

Kitchen Updated!
Updated program and dump batch file located in first post. Most exceptions are now handled and buttons work properly. All batch files are now running in hidden mode.

Feedback please!
Any feedback? I'm not releasing this 'till I'm sure that it works for other people too.
Please, if you have time, give me some feedback on this program. I've also stopped my GUI aWizard project because I want to finish this one first.

Alex v5.2 won't install

I have Alex V5.1 already on the phone. I tried to update to the new one and every time I click on the program it says,
"There is no application associated with Alex.v52.etc... Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
I read through the Alex post and didn't find anything. The search feature on this site seems to give you a thousand post you have to read totally, or nothing. I spent 2 hours last night trying to figure it out and don't have anymore time. I know I'm making a simple noob mistake, but someone PLEASE HELP ME! Thanks!

What is the complete name of the file that you are executing that gives you that message?

Perhaps I forgot to include KaiserCustomRUU.exe with one of my ROMs. You'll need this to install any .NBH file. You can find it in the ROM Tools section of the wiki, which is linked on the wiki or on the sticky.
In the future, please post to an existing thread.
Hope this helps!

I have a very high post response rate in my threads, I'd even dare say 90%+. So no need to worry about lost threads.
As for your current dilemma, I always post my ROMs as .RAR archive files. You'll need to download and install WinRAR (Shareware), 7ZIP (Freeware) or my personal favorite, ZipGenius (Freeware), to uncompress the .RAR file before running KaiserCustomRUU.exe.
All of this can be found on google.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Alex! You are the man! I didn't have to do all of this with the other rom, so I didn't think to look through the wiki. Works great now! Still playing with it, keep up the good work!

Well I guess my meeting took to long and _Alex_ took care of you. I thought it was a RUU or .rar file issue that is why I asked for the specific name of the file.

Where can I download Ervius Package Creator?

The rapidshare address I found in OEM Package Tutorial is not available.

1st of all ... WHAT THE HECK IS "Ervius Package Creator" ???
2ndly ... you don't just create a new thread out of the blue just because you desperately need something and forget about etiquette !!!
I don't do mind reading !!! ... and if you asked a pointless/stupid question without any info whatsoever !!! ... you are getting one same pointless/stupid answer back !!!

To be completely honest, I don't mind this question. I think maybe you should search for the creator by name, Envirus, but the pakage creator is also a part of the kitchen. So either get th ewhole kitchen, go to Hermes forum, the thread there has valid links or I believe it is also in the main xda development & upgrading thread.

Where are you from? Please be polite.
1. If you know kaiser cooking kitchen and read OEM package tutorial, you should know what's "Ervius Package Creator"
2. What's pointless question? I just ask a software download address. I searched in the forum. Do you think I'm stupid like you? Do you know everything when you come to the world? YOU are really stupid.

I have been looking for this also, the thread his tools normally live in is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320504
However the tools are not there at the moment, if you read on the last page he says he is having some file hosting problems. I was looking mainly for his updated version of buildos.
Best thing to do i think is just subscribe to that topic and wait for an email, that is what i am doing.
Alternatively if you go to ALexs Cooking Kits on the Kaiser Wiki and download alexs kitchen tools package creator is contained in the kitchen tools zip file,.

Missing BaseRom folder and nb / nbh files

Hi,
I have started to go thru the Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial and have one problem and a question to ask...
Step 1 states:
Uncompress kaiserkitchen_01-20-08.rar to \kaiserkitchen.
It is highly recommended you extract this and all additional applications to folders on your C: drive, e.g., c:\kaiserkitchen. It is not necessary for this tutorial, however it will be necessary to use Ervius Package Creator in the OEM Package Tutorial.
You'll notice that there is a file called !!!readmefirst!!!.txt within the uncompressed files. This file contains additional information on how to cook and I suggest reading it after you complete this tutorial as it contains valuable information about cooking, but some steps will conflict with the steps found here.
You should have \kaiserkitchen and two subfolders, ?BaseROM and Tools
I have done this but after uncompressing said file I only have a Tools folder, where be the BaseRom folder?
As a side order.....
I note the tut uses a reference to using radios in the .nb format. How can I use those that are in the .nbh format?
In fact, I get problems when I uncompress the files Alex[1].v5.WM61.HTC.3.03.ROM.Folders.part1.rar, part2 and part3?
Part 1 goes OK but part2 and part3 just comaplin all the way that the files exist do I wnat to overwrite etc?
The tut says I should then I five folders in kaiserkitchen, I have many more than that?
Now either I am doing something wrong (probably) or the guide is out of date?
Thanks

Please post this question in the thread about the Kaiser Kitchen. Creating a new thread with your questions from an existing thread is against forum policies and will get you a lot of negative attention, and very few answers. I think you will find the people around here a lot more helpful to you if you post your questions in the appropriate section.

ScatDawg is correct. Since you found the Rom Kitchen you know about it's thread. Your question belongs there. It does not warrant a new thread.
If you want forum members to respect you then you must respect the forum.

Can anyone help with Eclipse?

I'm just wanting to change up some font colors and grahics on a rom I have. I was told Eclipse was the way to go, so I set up an Android Dev machine with all the plugins and recommended tools. Now what?

Since no one is willing or able to help, could someone or a Dev be so kind to get me the correct xml file that will change the top title bar fonts to white instead of black. I will put the file in the rom and re-sign it myself.

I am by no means any good at theming, I fail pretty hard, but this might help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535630
Also, maybe try posting in the theme forum. Good luck.

There are different xml files for different stuff. Check out colorchange app. It works with cyanogen to change all stuff. Much easier that the xml stuff we used to have to do. Pm me if you have any specific questions.

If you search for colorchange or even posts by me you will find it. When I turn my pc on later I will post a link if required.

Thanks for the info mates (MontAlbert and bcrook). I will check out the colorchange app. One day I will find some write ups on Elclipse and android rom programming. Will let you know how the app worked out, MontAlbert.

You probably want to ask these questions in the Android dev group(s) on Google groups. The digests I get every day indicate there is a lot of activity there.
