Good point, I fail, lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Sorry Bro. That video isn't worth it anymore! DON'T EVEN UPLOAD IT! haha just kidding.

Are you uploading it now?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
lol, Yup, uploading now, gonna do a written, step by step tutorial to go with it, gonna add the updating super user files step to that. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
You guys on a roll. Does this mean any noob will be able to create their own custom rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Yessir, think we'll have to do a script writing tutorial as well or the guys will just do a general script that we'll make available, so rom building will be easy as 1, 2, flash!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
So any of you guys/girls willing to help me with video number 2?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
How so? What do you need?

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
We need an experienced rom builder to build us a rom using it, someone that knows the scripts, etc, well. I know some scripting, but I usually swap the scripts with a working one and edit that one to suit whatever I'm doing. But I think since it's a tutorial, should teach 'em how to do it all from scratch, just to say.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
I'm too lazy to read the last three pages to see if you fixed your issue.. but it isn't just if you're mounting the wrong type of files system, it is how many partitions you're mounting. Just grab the updater script from my old rom, or maybe eclipses.. and don't change the mounting it does, change everything else. I know remix's mounts all the partitions, so even if you don't need the data partition mounted..

I'm gonna go read the last three pages now, but I would say a prerequisite for anyone trying to "cook" a rom, doing anything more complex than switching out a few system apps.. they need to learn updater scripts. They're easy enuf, just gotta experiment a bit.

Edit: okay, read it all.

I'm not sure how I feel about people jumping in with tons of modifications they don't understand.. if you are literally just replacing a few system apps or something it doesn't have to be a "from" so much as a mod.. I can change every single aspect of a from with a small flashable zip, and o think that is what most people will need to do.

I really hate the idea of 20+ noons creating "roms" that are gonna brick a phone, or just a modified energy rom. You need to make some serious changes to call it a rom.

i can help with second video!!!! :D what needs done?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
[YOUTUBE]LIlozwsuqQk[/YOUTUBE]

Here's the first one, kinda iffy, let me know if I missed anything, so I can do it over and get it all crystal clear.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

Second would be the basics to building a rom

1. Where to put and what types of files can be used

2. Basic kitchen functions, like rooting, busybox etc

3. script editing so when the rom is built i can obviously install

4. whatever else you think is necessary to build a basic rom (change a few apps, deodex, probably edit the build.prop file, basics as SBD was pointing out).

:fingers-crossed:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
ok i will put together something :D

and nice video BTW :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Thanks, if you only saw the camera stand I made for my phone, lmao.:laugh:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
haha take a pic! i want to make one for mine lol (except in my video i will do screen capture)
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I was gonna ask you where you got your camera stand. I'd love to use one to make videos.

Also, spell Cygwin right! lol.

Another thing, I'm gonna add the new SU files to add of the kitchen. I'll have that uploaded tomorrow for you to add in the guide/new video remake (if you decide to remake it)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Will do :p, I actually started the first two tried with screen capture, but they were messing with my graphics drivers for some reason and making it difficult for me to open my windows on the taskbar, if you don't have this issue, let me know what recorder you're using so I can grab it for future vids please. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
awesome! and i use camstudio or frapps. with cam studio you have to get a certain codecs for the video to be reasonably sized and good quality though.

im gonna make a quick video on unpacking a rom with the kitchen and making minor edits. then i will elaborate in a later video once i find something cool to do to a rom lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I'll be remaking it to get a more stable video, avoid the issues I had getting this one done smoothly and to add those files of yours.

Lol at my cygwin screw up, leave me alone, it's been a while since I ever did any sort of command line work, thanks to your tool making me lazy, lolz.

By the way, I was meaning to ask, why is there no root option on your tool for the sensation? Kinda had me puzzled when I was halfway through a rooting job last Saturday.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Oh yeah. Google cygwin and download the latest version. Much more useful.

Glad to see I made you lazy!

I still gotta update the sensation toolkit. I've been slacking on it like crazy.

But ya. I'm gonna pass out. Tired as hell. Goodnight. Try the deodexed Rom I have in the general section! Peace out!

Sent From My HTC Amaze 4G Via Someone's Room ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Sounds good. :good:

I'll mess around with the codecs and stuff later, thanks for the recommendations, I ended up using my phone so I could get the full 1080p quality as well, wanted to keep this high classed, lol.

Gonna use this vid for now, but I'll be doing a remake in a couple of days, gonna probably write the written tutorial up for it sometime tomorrow or so, depends on how busy I am.

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

I'm out too, got a hell of a day today, two jobs, cousins to pick up, stuff to do at home, damn.

Good night guys.:silly:

Up for the newbies, ask all development related questions here, experienced users and devs will try to answer asap and also help you in any way possible.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Since there are now 3+ threads all about helping users learn to develop, and lately I have been getting pms about users who want to learn these advanced things.. I created a How-to's: General advanced android.. so you wanna help develop? thread.. If users want to start directing us how we can help them help themselves in THAT thread, then ask pertinent questions in each of THESE threads, we can do something truly awesome.. At least that was the purpose behind it.

So I have had several people ask me the last few days about porting, and I think that would fall under this thread pretty solidly.. wanna help write something up? I am going to paste some links to some porting threads I have found I think weren't too bad here.. if it helps let me know :)

[GUIDE] How to port Stock, GB, CM7, CM9 Based ROMS this one is pretty good as a starting point, it won't fix all our problems, but solid info.

(Tutorial)How to Port Roms To your phone this one is rather simplified, but it covers some info many others don't about the bootclasspath and whatnot.. not a ton of information, but useful none the less.

Non xda site, very detailed/comprehensive, a bit hard to follow even for me.. but definitely valuable. How to Port Android to Another Device(freeyourandroid.com)

This one is more the kernel side of porting, but important for most ports.. ICS Porting guide by Siulmagic (rootzwiki.com)

From Modaco.com there is a widely spread guide, lots of info that is useful.. [GUIDE] How to port a ROM

This one is still being updated(last on may1st) and is simple but has worked for many people.. [GUIDE] How to port AOSP ICS roms to your Device

That's all I have bookmarked that I found useful.. maybe we don't need a full writeup, but if we DID organize that into one more COMPLETE guide, all of the development community would benefit..
[HTC Amaze 4G] tgamble160:
So I got the basics of using the kitchen. And thank you. My question is if I want to use one rom with another roms features is there a way to do that within the kitchen,or do I extract and place them into the rom then rezip it then put it through the kithen.

sent from one badass htc amaze with ics jellybean@1.7ghz
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
That's exactly what you would do
[HTC Amaze 4G] tgamble160:
What about like addons that are zip files for example if I were to want to use craigtuts aosp notification it is a zip file that would just be flashed from recoved how would I place that into a rom without having to flash it seperatly.

sent from one badass htc amaze with ics jellybean@1.7ghz
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
There is one thing you need to realize that no one ever mentions- the kitchen is NOT a necessary thing. You can make ALL of the changes outside the kitchen. Unzip, make changes, rezip, and then sign the file with a testkey- the kitchen itself has a few specific useful things, like unpacking a kernel, enabling init.d support, etc.. but once you have those things in the rom, the kitchen is NOT needed.

To sign with the testkey is EASY, it is copy and paste once you have the tools in place..

How to sign in terminal or cmd - everything is the same everytime, you just change the input and output zip locations

java -jar [B]/Volumes/Kitchen/dsixda-Android-Kitchen-be2d15f/tools/signapk_files/signapk.jar[/B] /Volumes/Kitchen/dsixda-Android-Kitchen-be2d15f/tools/signapk_files/testkey.x509.pem [B]/Volumes/Kitchen/dsixda-Android-Kitchen-be2d15f/tools/signapk_files/testkey.pk8[/B] /Users/Chris/RevolutionizedNonsense1.0.1a.zip [B]/Users/Chris/Signed_RevolutionizedNonsense1.0.1.zip[/B]

First off, if you have the signapk.jar, testkey.x509.pem, testkey.pk8 in folders that are added to your global settings, you won't need to copy the path to them- I am just too lazy to set it up correctly. I just copy the same text each time changing the input file(the second to last path) and the output file(the last bolded path). Works everytime. You can see I am actually using the files INCLUDED with the kitchen, but without actually starting the kitchen.

Basically download the files or figure out where they are in your kitchen's path, change those parts of the above code, choose your input UNsigned zip file and you output SIGNED zip file.. I only bolded parts to show they are separate paths.

If you can figure THAT much out, then you don't need the kitchen at all except for the initial setup of a rom. Your best bet is to figure out WHAT the kitchen is doing, so you can do it yourself- the only thing the kitchen does which is so technical and time consuming it isn't worth learning, is how to unpack a kernel. Everything else is just running scripts and copying files.

And a tip - if you are going to take development seriously, take notes on what you are doing.. create a step by step checklist that you do everytime, and don't skip steps. Try not to depend on tools like the kitchen to make things work.. once you understand things better, you will do a more consistent job by doing things yourself, and learn a lot more along the way.

________________________________________________________________

If someone is willing to write something up, or help..

If someone wants to look at posts 7 and 8 in my thread here, someone should do a writeup that helps people LEARN what they are doing.. like maybe an example video of how to compare different roms to figure out what was changed, what the changes were, etc.. copying some system files and some premade mods doesn't teach anyone as much as some basic instructions on how to figure out how a developer made the changes they want..
[HTC Amaze 4G] tgamble160:
One more question say I wanted to add an app from play store for example xda I know I can't add premium but the free cersion where would I place it within the rom?

sent from one badass htc amaze with ics jellybean@1.7ghz
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
If you want to learn some of the more advanced parts of developing, look at section 8 of the google doc for the bible in my signature.. this link is there, and shows what each folder is http://anantshri.info/andro/file_system.html

If you look at that, it says user applications are in the /data/app folder

Really, check that link out, but also stalk the advanced sections of the amaze bible- the google doc is fully up to date.

Liquipel...

I got Liquipel on my iPhone 4 back in June and it’s saved it from getting destroyed at least three times. I even dropped it in a bubbling jacuzzi and it survived. I’ve been a believer ever since. You can’t tell anything has been done to it either, it comes back all clean in a nice metal container with a microfiber pouch. None of the water sensor stickers changed color when it got wet so even if it fails I can get a new phone on Apple. All in all I’d say its worth the $59. You no longer have to worry about losing a phone over a spilled drink or a little rain. Just makes you feel good.

Liquipel is going to be at CES again this year can’t wait to check out the show, I hear rumors of a machine doing free treatments at the show. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gilbequick:
$59 if you don't mind waiting 2 days for them to complete your order AFTER you ship it to them and they receive it. $69 for them to ship it back hopefully same day or maybe next day after the receive it. Then you have to wait for return shipping, which by the way costs an ADDITIONAL $10.04.

I think it's a great service, but in my opinion no where next worth the cost.

Hi all,

So, I have read and read and read till my eyes are RED! I (actually a co-worker and I) rooted my evo-4g over a year ago and it has been awesome having a rooted phone. Only a couple of quirks along the way but generally no major issues to speak of. I would like to update the ROM/kernel with one of the latest/stable that is available (not quite sure how new I can go with this phone but I want to continue to use what is stable) but I am totally in the dark as to what is best/stable and how to tell...Yes, I know, search for it, someone else has posted it, I did and I cannot find it...If you want to slam me go ahead but also please point me ion the correct direction for the requested info.
