Hello,

If you are talkin about file and not string of code, you can use Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator this script let you create an update.zip signed flashable from recovery...

Hi,
Thanks but i can't see how is this has anything to scripting in recovery mode.
Actualy i am not even sure this is Android supported (i can see the android player but not the scripting part) ...
Anyhow I am looking for a way to install my script from recovery mode actually all i need now is a place in which there will be a list of commands which are accepted buy the recovery updater.
Thanks.

[KITCHEN] dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now supports Galaxy S Plus (Windows/Linux/Mac)

dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now for Samsung Galaxy S Plus (I9001)
Compatible with Windows (Cygwin) / Linux / Mac OS X
The following is a guide to assist you with creating your own Samsung Galaxy S Plus custom ROMs with the kitchen. This is NOT a guide to help you become Cyanogen or do fancy things with AOSP, but it may be your springboard to bigger things in the future.
Some of you already know about the Android Kitchen. It is a project I started on back in February 2010 to help newbies create their own custom ROMs and learn more about Android. As of version 0.182, you can now create your own Galaxy S Plus ROMs with the kitchen.
I'd like to thank the guys in this thread, especially crybert, oisis and mbba67 for helping me out, as well as for testing on their devices and providing feedback. I only have a Bell Galaxy S2 I9100 so their assistance was greatly appreciated!
[MAIN PAGE] [RELEASE NOTES] [FAQ - page 1] [FAQ - page 2]
​
PROCEDURE
This guide may be a bit basic right now but I will update it later if required.
First, you need a rooted Samsung Galaxy S Plus (I9001) with a ClockworkMod-based custom recovery.
Visit the Android Kitchen thread to download the kitchen. Then, follow the link to the FAQ which will show you how to install it on Windows or Linux or Mac. Ensure you read the FAQ carefully.
Put your base ROM(s) under the original_update folder. For the Samsung Galaxy S Plus, there is support for the following formats which can be placed in that folder (you can place multiple ROMs there):
Stock firmware:
system.img.ext4 and boot.img (and optionally: cache.img.ext4)
TAR file containing system.img.ext4 and boot.img (and optionally: cache.img.ext4)
ZIP file containing system.img.ext4 and boot.img (and optionally: cache.img.ext4)
Custom ROM:
ZIP file created by the kitchen from the stock firmware (NOTE: The kitchen may NOT support custom ROMs created through other methods, due to potential file structure incompatibility issues)
Nandroid backup from ClockworkMod recovery
system.img, cache.img and boot.img
system.ext4.tar, cache.ext4.tar and boot.img
Here are some basic steps to creating your first ROM after you have your base of files under original_update (more options are available in the kitchen):
Start the kitchen with: ./menu
Create a working folder (by choosing your base ROM)
If you used a system.img.ext4 but then didn't include the cache.img.ext4, then you have the option to add a cache.img.ext4 later using the Extract SGS2 CSC script in the Advanced menu's 'Plugins' section.
Root your ROM
Add Busybox
In the Advanced options menu: De-odex your ROM
Build ROM
The ROM is built into a ZIP file meant for flashing from the custom recovery menu. No Odin.
Some notes:
Here are some screenshots of how to use the kitchen for the I9001, thanks to crybert.
Just select the defaults whenever you are asked about something in the kitchen and are unsure whether to type 'y' or 'n'.
There are lots of questions answered in the FAQ in Posts 3 and 4 of the main Android Kitchen thread. So please go through that first if you have any issues.
For the benefit of other readers and to prevent confusion, please only discuss Samsung Galaxy S Plus in this thread!
Most of all, have patience, take your time and enjoy!!

Reserved, just in case

Great stuff .. Thanks for ur work

great work!
did anyone tried the porting option in this kitchen?
could be very usefull to port miui or cyanogenmod to our device
i know its signed as experimental but anyone know the chances that this option will lead to a success?

Would be kind of hard to do..., but I heard that the SGSPlus is similar to the Desire HD, so I would start with a ROM from there.

You think the Cyanogenmd for the DesireHD would work? And if I try the porting thing. Is there a big chance to full brick my phone. I know I have to look that the boot.img and the system is flashed on the right partition. So if something goes wrong I think I can enter Download-Mode anyway?

Desire HD uses the same cpu/gpu as i9001 so there should be a big similarity
im asking myself the same question wether there is a chance for a full brick
but the boot.img will be written on the right partition

I don't know much about porting apart from the generic steps in the kitchen scripts. But if you have a nandroid backup, how would you brick (unless you mean the wrong partition would mess it up.. In that case just double check the updater-script before building).

maybe a wrong boot.img could lead to a brick

I dont know about porting or boot.img, but what if you just replace SGS+ boot.img over the DesireHD Cyanogenmd Rom boot.img then just fix them in the kitchen. I dont know..........

if the porting of cynogenmod from DHD succeeds we will be able to port their ICS too then. with some modifications to boot.img, build.prop. etc.. , replacing drivers, maybe we can try camera drivers and libs from I9000 port , of course we'll need someone to compile the right kernel. imo it can be done if we put a team work into it

but we can first try to port the desireHD rom to our device using the kitchen and then see if the device boots

the rom from DHD won't boot on I9001 without the right kernel.

Can you tell me where can I find an information how to add to my fresh cooked rom CWM FeaMod Recovery?

1. just add the recovery.img to the main directory of your rom. Where /system and META-INF is located
2. add the following line to your updater-script:
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p13");
P:S.
We should move the discussion about CM to another thread. I think this is a bit offtopic

Hi guys, I have updated the kitchen to 0.182. See the main thread (linked on post #1) for full release notes.

Hi, how come i can extract boot.img but cant repack, there is no option for repack

try porting MIUI instead of CM7. MIUI is not only fast but customize able and i think dsixda does the work for you and then minor bugs can be fixed.

Zasa rom and UOT kitchen

Hi all,
I'm using this rom ZaSa_4chacha_GB1.54_v2.0 (1.54.401.2) and I want to use UOT kitchen to modify theme.
But I don't know which framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk use.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks

Well, nobody inspired ?
I'll try to be more clear and give more explanations.
I used files extract from the 1.33 RUU to create my theme. First question, I don't know if I'm right...
Then I've downloaded the UOT files and flash it. When I reboot my phone, I've got a problem with com.android.phone. It crashed, so I can do nothing.
I don't know if my files are good, or if I have the correct settings on UOT kitchen. (Suche like edify or amend script)

The problem is here:

Can you see now where the problem occurs?
If you want to use UOT then you must use the files from ZaSa, as you have flashed 1.33 files over the 1.54 version.
It's exactly the same as you did with the 1.33 files. In case you are having issues, use Root Explorer, mount it as R/W and browse the files on your phone then copy-paste them to your SD card from the app.

Well, I used the 1.33 files because I've read somewhere that I should use "proper file". I was thinking it means from stock rom whereas it means from my rom.
I've made a try with the files extract from Zasa rom, but I've got a SHTF files.
Should I used the com.htc.resources files ? On UOT site they explain that's for rom with sense, but Zasa 1.54 v2.0 is provide without sense whereas this file exist in the rom. Not sure my explanations are clear... Very sorry for my english.
Thanks for your help!

It's possible that even if ZaSa comes without Sense (since it's still a stock rom though) those files are being used anyway. Give it a try with the files suggested by UOT for the Sense rom.

I've tried with and without the recommended file for sense rom, I've always SHTF files!

Become a Themer
If someone send me the link for a 1.57 RUU chacha rom.zip, i will work on it to make it a great rom as i did for my Desire
No need to UOT kitchen when you can do it by yourself _ check out my tutos if you are curious and wanna learn something new in android.

[Q] convert rfs stock rom DXKT7 into ext4 on PC

hello guys,
First thing is I'm a noob here, totally noob, altough I have used galaxy fit for almost one year now and have tried many, many custom roms here, I think it is already the time that I'm making my own.
So I read many tutorial how to make a custom rom, with dsixda kitchen. I read there on the original thread that dsixda kitchen didn't support our device, but I was persistent, downloaded all the requisites, and skip skip, finally I understand now why, because the file system of DXKT7 is rfs (system.rfs), it must be converted into ext4, or at least has system.img (am I wrong?), so I search every tutorial about converting file system into ext4, and almost all suggest it should be done on the device itself, or should I say, flashing this stock rom via ODIN, root it, and then u can convert it into ext4.
isn't there any way to make it done in PC so I can start edit this rom in kitchen?
I read it somewhere about extracting initframs.cpio from zimage, please, if anyone know this way, please teach me how
any explanation are appreciated, thank u in advance guys, n sorry for my english
edit:
pratyush.creed said:
not very hard ,just extract initramfs.cpio from the zImage ,add this line
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y in filesystems,then change Mount points in init.rc of Ramdisk
and then Format All Dev Blocks e.g. System,Data,Cache to ext4 !!

copy system.rfs and csc.rfs from a stock rom and boot.img from custom rom to ur original_update folder and extract it...follow onscreen instructions in the kitchen and use magiciso to extract system folder and then do the mods and all u want and pack it now it will work meta-inf folder will be autogenertaed but replace the update-binary in ur created rom from anyother custom rom and it will surely work

I have unpacked boot.img using advanced options in kitchen's menu, now I have folder ramdisk and zImage, what to do now to convert it to ext4?

oh, I followed ur instruction, extract system.rfs with magicIso and put them together with boot image (the one from stock) and others in original update folder and now I can deodex it.
my question, should I change the boot.img with custom rom's boot image so it can support ext4 file system or just go with the stock?
or how can I change the kernel?
edit : oh, after hours searching I just found this thread, everything I need is here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414534
anyway thank u guys.

ur boot.img from stock is rfs format so it wont work if u use that...use boot.img from any custom rom that is also based on ur baseband version(DXKT7)man..the boot.img will automaticaly have the ext4 filesystem(in custom boot.img not stock)....kernel is later part of ur rom man better not go into that now .....copy boot.img from custom rom of ur baseband version then system.rfs and csc.rfs file from stock rom and do as i said above and dont forget to replace update-binary in ur rom after creating the output_zip file from any other custom rom or ur rom wont install

[Q] How to make rom from official firmware

Hello First sorry for my bad English. I have this file I8262XXBNC1_I8262ODDNC1_I8262DDNB1_HOME.tar a official firmware. can i use this to make a custom rom. I know that i can use a rom from this forum to change but i want to this project for fun, I opened it with winrar those files(photo below) and i saw that i need more files to do that. What you suggest to do?

Don't know well!!! But I think you can... just extract the firmware and found the "system" folder from there!!!
Press the Thanks button!!!

From my research i saw how to extract the files from the system but no way how to make one file again. I did that and i bricked my phone so i install again original firmware with odin.

If you have a pc... then use apktool to make and edit your rom!!!!
Or,
If you don't have a pc.. then install apktool in your device!!!

Install sygwin if you're on windows, then download dsixda kitchen or archi kitchen. Make it compatible for your phone and there you go...making flashable zips from official firmware with root, deodex, init.d etc.
