Agree but bit too early as none exists yet...

Ok but some of you cooking roms, so you could create mini howto and add some information later. I am linux user but i don't know howto cook and with howto i will start. That is the point .

There are tons of different sources on how to cook ROMs. If you've never noticed before, there are two search bars on the top of this very page. The leftmost is what you need. Four words will help you. If it's not obvious enough: HOW TO COOK ROMS
regards

I've used dsixda's Android Kitchen once. It's not fully functional but it can help you.
I had problem with prepearing orginal stock rom to start working with the kitchen. I did this in that way:
1. I changed the file name from .tar.md5 to .tar
2. I unpacked .tar using Winrar
3. I changed filenames of some files from .img.ext4 to .img
And the kitchen was able to impost the rom files and to start working with them.
Many functions were not working becouse kitchen was not able to cerate file to flash boot.img. But flashing /system was possible so i managed to deodex and zipalign the rom, disable boot sound etc.

That I managed to do. I will write soon how to do this with the environment installation on Linux and file preparation. I hope someone will help me develop the topic and we will create a howto for dummies .

As long as android development is concerned I'm as dummy as possible
I can help you by giving the feedback if your explanation is uderstandable.

Thanks. I am ready to give you 100% feedback, I already tired and i think its very near to be done, but only needs your touch .

Give this a try. I don't have this device, so your feedback will help a lot.

Well it also doesn't deodex Maps and VoiceSearch in other Samsung ROMs. Nothing I can do about it. I9001 may be my last project.

can you please upload with magaupload, mediafire has problems cant download.
EDIT: Its ok... downloading

Thx dsixda for making your kitchen available for us. I tried to make a rom for I9001 with your latest version of the kitchen and some things worked. I just had to dd the system.img.ext4 in system.img and so I could use some functions. But because I'm new to the hole thing- Espacially I don't know how I handle the updater-script in the right way - I gave this up. So keep up the good work to make it fully working for us.
p.s. Someone could provide a tutorial or just a link for making an updater-script.

Okay thx. Is there a possibility to format the hole system-partition ? I tried format("ext4" ; "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15"); but this doesnt work. Or you mean this is not a good idea?

formatting partitions line by line is much better
i've never used those apps for updater-script,only from signing

The kitchen already formats the system partition in the updaterscript. Just build a basic ROM with root permissions, flash it and check for errors.
If someone here has used the kitchen before on other device ROMs, please let me know how it goes with the I9001.

No its a potatoe

This app is very useful.
But you forgot to add the procedure to add 'PATH' environment variable for newbies in the Readme.
And the Zipalign function is not working for the people like me, who use portable version of Android SDK. It should also be mentioned in Readme.
Hope that you'll definitely fix it in next version.
Good Job !

Mostly for 'signing' apps i.e after editing. Every app has to be 'signed' to be useful. If you editing app (i.e for localisation) you have to signing it afterwards. So one of this app function is signing app's. Custom ROM's has to be signed either.
For signing you have to use 'key'. There you can generate your own key for signing your own apps. Bear in mind - you can seamlessly upgrade app to new version only if it is signed with the same key as older version. Otherwise you have to uninstall older version and then install new one. This app can generate keys too.

[TOOLS][HOW-TO] One Click Scripts to Pack/Unpack boot.img

This is for all ROM cooks, Kernel devs or anyone who wants to make quick changes to the Kernel or ramdisk without wasting much time!
I made or rather put together some scripts for-
All this happens in just one click
Unpack boot.img
Repack boot.img
Make CWM flashable signed zip
Its very easy to use. Download the tools (At the end of the post)
Extract them..
In the root of the extracted files place the boot.img you wanna mod.
Then,
To unpack the Kernel-
Code:
./extract.sh
Your zImage will be in kernel/zImage
Your ramdisk will be in ramdisk folder (unpacked)
Make the necessary changes.. whatever you wish.
Then to pack up everything and get output as boot.img , run.
Code:
./pack_boot.sh
Your repacked boot.img will be in out/boot.img
OR.
If you want a CWM Flashable zip,
Code:
./pack_cwm.sh
The flashable zip will be out/GT-I9103_KERNEL.zip
Easy eh? :laugh:
DOWNLOAD
On a side note,
What in contains:
My scripts
mkbootimg, unpackbootimg and mkbootfs binaries (Compiled from latest CM Source)
signapk.jar and necessary files (To Sign Zip file)

Thanx a bunch for this. I have boot image of a stock gb kernel and want to just add voodoo sound and increase the max brightness level a bit. Is that possible using this tool?
Thanx!!

Then make changes in Kernel source,
Compile , simply replace the compiled zImage with the one in kernel/zImage .. and run ./pack_cwm.sh

For N7000 you can use these tools since its a zImage Kernel and not kernel+ramdisk like GalaxyR.

NO buddy it wont.

It works if it uses the same boot.img format (I mean there are e.g. Sony devices that has some different kernel image structure.).

Buddy, just check if you can unpack and repack. No need to load it on to the device. Faulty kernel can really brick the device.

You have been an RC , so you should help us .
1-What' the recovery partion in the Official ICS and GB ?? mmcblk0p** (Since I don't have this phone I can't know them) .
2-I have followed your Tutorial to edit LG's firmware ,, but in the step when root the *.img file , how to return that image into *.bin ??
3-How to replace recovery like what xbsall did (in bootv21e.bin) ??
4-In V20a.kdz of P880 Optimus 4X ,, when I run :-
Code:
LGExtract -kdz ****.kdz
Then I get a *.cab file ,, extract it then find a *.DZ ?? In P920 kdz I find *.wdb (then extract it into *.bin) .
Thank you berni for your support to LG-P920 and for this EXCELLENT idea .

1. In all o3d partitions layout it's mmcblk0p6
2. Just open the edited img in hexeditor select everything copy it then select in the bin from offset to size off given by the extract tool and then paste it in there
3. Same as above open rec.img in hex editor select and delete the recovery file in the bin(everything is given by the extract tool) and paste in the new rec
4. Don't know much about dz files but take a look in l9/7/6 not sure which one there's a kdz Rom and the guy linked to a tool which extracts dz files if I remember right

It's to check if your backup is corrupted and to save you from unnecessary reflashing. If you're not planning to modify your backup , you should't disable it.

Berni, there's a few developer-related questions I wanna ask before I develop my first Android firmware ROM.
1. Is even a Java file context-sensitive? And if it is, should a simple change be checked against the other source that links to it?
2. Is it difficult to add in some framework / library outside the Android source codes?

To 1 no but most libraries are built of pretty much code (libwebcore is some gigs big) and are difficult to port to other android version(opposite is libwebcore which is pretty easy). Many libs should work on same android versions but many don't
