ŃŐŐß questions for newbie rom cooking

Hi guys. I have flashed many great roms from xda to my Kaiser but I am keen to make my own...
I have done allot of reading through the rom cooking wikis and watched the screen casts for the Kaiser Kitchen program. But I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with.
The first relates to the latest roms that members of this forum are using to construct their latest builds. No one seems to be using the roms in Alex's Megaupload folder so should I disregard those roms, oem packages and seek the latest roms that are being used on xda If so are these roms available for download prior to customization on this forum? I have used the search function but cant find them.
Ive noticed that people are porting roms from other HTC devices for use with the Kaiser? Is this something I will need to do to make a latest os build?
Also is there one location for all the latest apps like opera 9 camera drivers ect for me to cook into a rom?
I have many more questions but ill save them for next time. I am sure questions like this get asked all the time so ill be greatly appreciative of anyone that can help.. Cheers..

you can use the newer builds that are available here at xda. plus you can download official builds from htc and than use the official build as your base and modify, tweak and improve it.

not necessarily the latest os build. Reasons roms are ported from other devices is to take advantage of the features available on those roms that don't exist on our official or standard rom. check out this tutorial on porting sys and xip:

depends on what you are looking for. Here are some of the opal cab/packages compiled by mbarvian:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430354
I don't think they are all in one location but most of them are all available here at xda for you to cook in. You have to do a little bit of hunting and scavaging Just don't forget to credit whoever created the cab/package you use
Good luck.
Thanks for your help thesire

So by this you mean download a latest build I can find, flash it and then dump it from my phone and customise it in the kitchen? Or is there some tool that will extract the os from the rom without having to flash?
Thanks again

You need to download a cooking kit, not just a kitchen, unless you build your own. They usually include OEM Folde, SYS Folder, etc...
For a noobie migh I sugest PPCKitchen.org where you'll find the PPCGeeks KaiserKitchen.
There are also a few screen shot videos by DoctaJay. They are available in the wiki & in the start here thread.

Which ROM did you dump? Depending on the way it was cooked, you might not be able to get OEM and SYS files in tact. Find a ROM that was cooked with all dsm and rgu files, then you will be able to dump and create packages.
Kaiserchef is also a very good kitchen for beginner chefs. It runs each .bat in order automatically. All you have to do is download the kitchen, put the stock rom you want to dump in the base rom folder and run the runme.bat. Select use the rom in base rom folder as base and it will extract it. Packages are all over the forum. Just rember that camera and dialer packages are sometimes device specific so be sure to read up. I have some oems in my 4shared and starbase64 has almost any oem you could ever want in his 4 shared. just do a search for starbase64 and click on his 4share link in his sig.
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. Downloaded Kaiserchef.. Looks like a cleaner or newer version of Kaiserkitchen?
Ok, downloaded Version5.9RRE20748manilla.rar rom from aruppenthal's 4shared folder as it seems like this is the latest build I can find and I want to build a rom based on the latest build.
Followed the steps in Kaiserchef and it extracts the SYS, ROM folders but the OEM folder remains empty I downloaded a rom package from Alex's megaupload folder, but if I use that ROM folder from Alex's rom it will be an older OS I'm building correct? Where would I find the latest?
And can someone kindly explain what the ROM, SYS and OEM actually folders do.
Thanks guys

If you want to cook it get the rom from my 4 shared that has this name
RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2.rar
Mine (Version5.9RRE20748manilla.rar rom )has no oem folder because after v5 i started combining dsms which makes it lose the oem.

[Q] porting

Dear all,
I want help of you please
i am not developer i want to know only below points
1. we can port different devices rom to our device which having same chipset
2. we can port other devices rom to our e.g. samsung galaxy s4
3. if i want to make rom from scrap then any tutorial available
Please revert
i am not a developer
i want to develop something for my galaxy r becuase i dont want to loose it for some softwares
AFAIK
1. Yes
2. Yes if 1 holds. (correct me if i'm wrong)
3. this will help if you are certain to contribute towards development.
Hope it helps..!
1. Yes. The only one reasonable enough would be O2X. I tried it, but it didn't work. It uses really different nVidia libs.
2. Yes, just look at the XWLSD port. But you can't replace all libs because of the lack of NEON support. Also pay attention to the screen resolution. You will have a massive work with resizing if porting from the GS4.
3. There are many, just look into general Android dev forums, but most of them isn't applicable to the SGR.
(What Nikhil provided is a really great and huge article, hats off to the writer, but it's about application development and not porting.)

you need to use Linux Operating system for these things because it will be easy on Linux and then you can use the file which you will use in ODIN and extract system files from it using the link given above ..

1. Use these Guides.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742618
2. I am not sure how to do.
3 & 4 need to build your own Custom Kernel using the sources (if some thing goes wrong you will brick your device).
5. Just delete from System Folder.

[Q] what's the best tool for building rom?

Now days there are many tools that made easy to build custom roms.
1. Apktool
2.notepad ++
3. 7zip
4.Java
And many more stuffs needed to build a rom. But some problems still come up.
After building the rom many people faced and I also faced this problem. We need to make a flashable zip.
Ok. So now u have to make a meta inf folder then write the update scirpt. Ok that was easy . Then what with that update binary. How we are gonna make that. I am asking this questions to exprience developers. Cause thats what everybody face.
Then come with the deodex time. Many tools I found but I found one word error. So what will be best tool to deodex the rom?
Hope this questions will be answered. It may help starter level developers to work.
If u like this post don't forget to thanks.

[Q] Micromax Canvas A117

How can I install stock rom from another ROM into my present system????
Like if I want to use the file manager application from the stock ROM or any other ROM into my present ROM, is it possible????
I have tried copying the apk file from /system/app and changing the permissions to rw-r-r- but still it is not working. Is there any other way????
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
Compatibility !
I think its framework specific some stock apps works on thier framework only !

Until & unless someone ask for help, It's just a foolishness.
It's just like a miracle, that u can port a ROM. It's not that easy as stealing someone's work.
Instead of miui, port another ROM & we will salute u.
& finally nobody forces u to use ROM. Its always depends on users will.

There is a lot of difference between u & me. I've ported, the port by Turkdevs for GM Discovery, to our Xolo Q3000 & made it to work on our device.
Main developer of the ROM is MIUI itself not turkdevs, they just made it to work on GM Discovery.
But, u hv just stolen the port work done by me & saying that u have ported the ROM.
U might have posted the ROM early, if u could have solve the problem, persisting while porting the rom.
So, u should keep in mind before doing such ....... Don't b a noob.

Wes & Smile2life are not the devs of ROM, they just ported it to GM Discovery.
Developer is MIUI.
I port MIUI from Redmi Note 3G global for my personal use. But, to make others feel MIUI, I posted the ROM, after @avi3230 had stopped, posting for Q3000.
I used to make complete zip, It's not that hard, while testing the ROM, but to minimize my & user data usage, I post in the form of Patch to full ROM, Note 3g full ROM is above 600mb while that of turkdevs hardly 400mb.
But, u wouldn't understand..... carry on ur work.......
@sachin.r.fulzele & @rohitsinghpu your brilliant work making our xolo q3000 shine. And all of us who are using Miui rom are that much clever to recognize the contribution and hardwork of sachin.r.fulzele. So as Mr. Vinay mentioned you both are heart of Q3000 development.
Thanks to both of you for your great work & credits where credits due....
