Gotchya. OK thank you.

When I'm done playing with that zip you gave me, what kernel should I load up on my phone prior to flashing that rom? I wanted to use the 3.5 cuz I'm currently running a 3.5 kernel... It would make it easier to try my modded rom then get back to how my phone is now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
3.0 and 3.5 kernels are different...boot img has to be used with rom created, and if your finished already...this outta be interesting signing a rom takes longer than that...lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
I think there is some confusion here. I haven't even opened your .zip you gave me... Let alone being done with anything. What I was trying to say was that I was thinking I would tinker with the original sense 3.5 .zip so that it would be easy to try out on my phone because I am currently running a sense 3.5 kernel. I hope that makes sense.

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

If I do use the .zip you gave me, then when I'm done tinkering with it, what kernel should I use with it? Or are you saying thst a kernel will be created at the time of the creation of the rom within the "new" .zip
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
oh ok..yup was some confusion...3.5 is more difficult than 3.0, so i was only suggesting starting with the easier builds first....your kernel still has to be flashed regardless, the kernel and bcm driver must match you can switch out the bcm driver in lib>modules with your current kernels i would think
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
OK.... I think.... Uuuuuhhhh... (Drool rolling down face)

So I think you are saying that I can keep my sense 3.5 kernel so as long as I swap out the "bcm driver" within my lib/modules? ( Im just pretending to fully underdtand whst that means) Im not terribly opposed to just using a sense 3.0 kernel to test out the more simple rom, I was just trying to save a step. So if I do say grab a random sense 3.0 kernel somewhere, I can start with that then flash my new cooked rom, right?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
in the new rom you just were playing with...change out the bcm driver thats in your current rom ....copy that module to the new module folder then you "shouldnt" need to reflash a kernel
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
OK. Thank you. I guess I did kinda undersrand..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Within Ubuntu, can I just extract a .zip rom, and say delete an included apk, then add a different apk to the appropriate folder, re-zip and flash? Or do I have some reading to do?

---------- Post added at 04:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

Or more to the point, is that a way I can swap out the bcm driver file?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
nevermind, I get it now! I can manipulate things in the "working folder" then create the .zip in kitchen.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Update: series of steps are as follows...

Rooted, deodexed, changed rom name. Within the working folder, I swaped the file mentioned earlier to make it work with the sense 3.5 rom. I first compiled it by keeping the update script and signing it. I tried to flash and it told me that the update script was outdated due to the newer CWM. I then went and tried to compile manually again, but this time I changed it to updater script and signed it. I then tried to flash. Error telling me to edifiy. From there I tried to compile using the 2nd option (express) and tried to flash. This time the flash went a bit further in the process and then gave an error. This time there was no message with the error. I think it just had the number 0 before the word error. So, I decided to go back to my working rom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Hey thank you! Before I do anything else, I'm going to do some reading and figure out what all of the updater script means. At its surface and from what you are saying, it is linked to whatever CWM you use to flash. I'm going to figure this out before flashing again. Thanks again.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
because anything beyond version 2.5 of CWM requires the use of UPDATER-SCRIPTS in the form of edify. what you have listed here is an UPDATE-SCRIPT which is in AMEND format.

you need an edify'd updater-script
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
hmmmm. I coulve sworn that the last version of the rom I tried was created utilizing the 2nd(express) option, which was to be edify'd. I'll try again. ty
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Infinimint:
When I have time later, I could convert it for you back to Edify, if you'd like.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Thats a nice offer, I may take you up on that. Could you possibly explain how I could do it myself? If its not too lenghty....

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
basically, you can just copy and paste the example i gave you earlier.

the differences are in the language used. just look at the 2 side by side and make your changes
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
TY. I will as soon as MSU beats OSU. Go State ;)

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Does the rom need to be zipalign'd every time, or just once? And does it matter if it is signed or not?

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Also, Do I need to rename the update-script to updater-script? Or is there something I can do in kitchen to do it for me?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
zipalign does not need to be done every time. in fact you dont HAVE to use the kitchen at all after you have created your first working rom zip, i prefer not to. you dont have to create rom from it after you have a working one, you can just modify your working one.

when building the rom from working folder, the kitchen will ask you if you want to use updater-script instead of update-script
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] johnson8cyl:
@jazzmoe76 not sure. Just something new. I would assume just being cross compatible since everyone is dual booting thought it might be of interest. Let me know what you think. The more avenues the better you know.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Oh, ok. I asked about HAVING to use kitchen in the past and was unsure. So, I can just zip my working folder to create the rom? I thought that if I told kitchen to use updater and not update that it would overwrite the file that I imported from your script. I'll continue to tinker and see if I can get a working rom. Thank you
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
ok, i'm starting to get frustrated... I have seemingly tried every variation of creating the rom to get it to utilize updater and not update... I chose option 1 for creating the .zip. It then creates an updater-script and an update-binary. I thought at that moment that I should go and paste PG's script in the "updater" file. I then answer "y" and let it make the update.zip. I sign it and change the name and..... FAIL! I'm sure im missing something simple here. My error on flash keeps saying that AMEND is not supported and it needs EDIFY. What am I missing here?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
AFTER you create the rom zip, just drop in the updater-script

its just a text file with no extension. drop it into the zip, you dont need to unzip it

and make sure you are using the right update-binary. the one from the kitchen WILL NOT WORK, you need the one from thecubed's thread
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Thank you!I get it now...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Infinimint:
DELETE update-script. DELETE IT. Get rid of it. Throw it away. Murder it. DELETE UPDATE-SCRIPT!!!

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Infinimint:
Here's the converted script, as PG said, you may as well use his because it's basically the same thing except this one is almost a direct translation of the one you posted.

His probably includes some stuff that I may have left out, but I was too lazy to check lol

I usually keep a copy of my currently used updater-script here. Although it is only for the HTC Dream, it uses the same syntax.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Well, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that I didnt get the same old error message. The bad news is that I got a new much less exciting error message. It simply says

"E:Can't open /sdcard/JaZzMoE_V0.01.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted"

I dunno where to go from here. I took the binary as directed and just drag n dropped it into the correct area of the zip and it overwrote the original (I know cuz of the time stamp) then I did the same for the updater-script from PG. There are "update-script~" and "updater-script~" back up files in there. Is that what I should delete? In my work file the only thing that exists is "update-script" should I kill that and go back to kitchen to re-write?

maybe this rom is ok... I tried to go back to my original rom and got the same "bad" error. I rebooted and now it loaded it. I'm thinking that after it loads, I'll try the new rom again for a last ditch effort.

Update: no go...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ghostdogg:
Sounds like something is still acting up. I'd recommend creating a new working folder from a known working zip and don't allow the kitchen to convert the updater-script. Don't change anything else and use the kitchen to create a new update.zip. Try to flash and see what happens. If you still get the same errors something in the configuration of your system is wacky.

I've started the processes of getting a tutorial together but it's a larger undertaking than I had anticipated.

Think it will be more effective to layout the order in which to visit already well written tutorials for each individual step and add any useful comments specific to our device.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Thank you. Ill try that next. Good luck with your endeavor. Either way is sounds like it will be useful.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] buckeyemike:
Ok, so i've used the kitchen to tinker with the stock rom that comes on the vivid. Everything goes fine until I try to flash the thing and i get an error about the updater-script: expecting 4 args got 2. I used PG's updater-script when I recieved this error. Anybody got any ideas?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Sounds like you got his binary but not his script. Wc and pg's binaries look for 4 args (ext4, emmc, mmcblk..., and 0) in the format lines of updater-script. If you don't have 4 args, and that's what the binary wants, it won't flash.

He might be willing to go into further detail about the 0 arg, but the default kitchen binaries will only look for 2 or 3 args, depending which binary you use. Using pg's binary, you'll need 4 args
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] buckeyemike:
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep plugging away.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Infinimint:
Hahaha I think instead of making a Rom, I might just make a huge tutorial on my website that explains how to do all this kinds of stuff with lots of picture, videos, and cross-OS examples :)

This time there was error code (6)

Here is a rundown of what I've tried:

deleted the original kitchen then re-unpacked kitchen to the root folder

Put the .zip from WC in the original update folder.

created a work folder and unpacked the rom.

copied and pasted the bcm4330.ko from my current working sense 3.5 rom to the sys/lib/mod folder in my working folder.

rooted within kitchen.

then compile the rom (option99)

zipalign? I chose (n)

it asked my if i wanted to create updater-script, I chose (y)

asked my if I wanted to keep the updater-script and binary, i chose (y)

I signed it, changed the name.

From there I opened the newly created zip and drag/drop PG's updater-script and thecubed update binary to meta/com/google/android.

I tried to flash and...

Any advice???

Alright folks I have compiled AOSP 4.0.3 for the vivid. Before anyone gets carried away there are some serious issues. The first being that it gets stuck in a boot loop and the boot animation is scewed and off center. Anyone who has any experience with AOSP I would greatly appreciate your help. On that note, BIG thanks to the Cubed for the binaries for the vivid.

Just so anyone that may be able to help knows what I did while flashing I did the following:

1. Created back up

2. Flashed tiamat's ICS kernal

3. Flashed ROM

4. Booted

5. Watched bootloop!

I realize I should have cleared and wiped before flashing, but given the results I'm not sure it would matter. However if anyone thinks it will help I'll give it a shot. Thanks to all and any tips or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Root it and put a custom recovery on it. Then make a nandroid backup and make a rom from that. Or, if you're more advanced, just grab the proprietary libs, download the android source, and compile it from scratch.

Hi Everyone,

I've just published my first game on the android market. Here is the description and a few screenshots:

Action Defense Lite is a game which combines both action and tower defense genres into a single game. Control a character, buy weapons, build and upgrade towers in order to protect you village from the hordes of enemies.

The storyline is short and sweet:

"The forest nearby has been possessed by evil creatures which are continuously growing in numbers and are now out to capture your village. You have no choice, but to prepare for battle..."

Your village will be attacked by monsters, wave after wave, that will drop money once defeated. Spend the money wisely to organize a better defense by building a mix of towers to counteract monsters with various abilities and to support your hero in combat or to increase the damage dealt by him through the purchase of better weapons. The key to success is to find the right balance between towers and hero weapons. If you were ever bored by just a tower defense game, controlling a hero will keep you occupied, so dont hesitate and give it a try.
