[Android Software Development] GuneetAtwal:
Holla Guys this i am back with a Guide which you would have seen many times on XDA but still were you able to follow them??:p

And answer is "NO"as they all focus on Android Kitchen which is a big tool but not a wall for blind!! Mark it you will have to use your own sense(Not Htc Sense :p) while making a ROM!:p

But then also i can provide you a Boost Start in Android Development World for Sure ;)

​

This tutorial is specially for

Part 1: Installing the JAVA JDK, Cygwin and Setting up the Kitchen.

*Before you do anything install the java jdk*

INSTRUCTIONS

->Download and extract the cygwin_packages.zip

-

>Run the set up(make sure there is no previous cygwin installation)

->when it shows all the package names, go to the top and select "all default" until it changes to "all install" (you must click on the arrows)

->Download the kitchen from above. Then, extract the kitchen's .zip file to a folder under your home account. Rename the dsixda-android-kitchen-*** folder to just "kitchen". In Cygwin, this folder would depend on what was set for your Cygwin install directory, e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen

NOTE

!! If your user folder contains spaces (e.g. C:\cygwin\home\John Smith\kitchen), then the kitchen will not function properly. Instead, copy it under C:\cygwin\home\kitchen.

->Now your ready to run the kitchen type:

those who have their kitchen like this C:\cygwin\home\John\kitchen use these commands given below

[COLOR="Sienna"]cd kitchen(enter)[/COLOR]
[COLOR="DarkRed"] ./menu(enter)[/COLOR]

those who have their kitchen like this C:\cygwin\home\kitchen use these commands given below.
[Android Software Development] GuneetAtwal:
Part 2:Setting up a working folder

THERE ARE TWO METHODS FOR THIS.

1. WHEN YOU HAVE BASE ROM AVAILABLE.

2. WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE BASE ROM.

FIRST METHOD -

->First our folder structure should look like this:

cygwin folder/home/your user name/kitchen

-> Inside the kitchen it should look like this:

-> Now we need a rom to work on, for KarbonnA5 users i will recommend this rom by ME only :p but you can use any rom.

-> Just Place the original rom zip in the original_update folder inside the kitchen.

run the cygwin.exe again type:

cd kitchen(enter)
./menu(enter)

-> Now enter option 1, enter again. You should see your rom listed, choose and enter

you will be asked about changing the working folders name, at this point it makes no difference so just continue.

congratulations you have a working folder!!!

Second METHOD -

it is almost like ROM Dumping works on any device!

NOTE: FOR THIS MEETHOD WE NEED 3 FILES AND FOLDERS TO BE PLACED IN WORKING FOLDER.

1. META-INF FOLDER - GET THIS FROM DOWNLOAD FILES LIST IN FIRST POST

2. SYSTEM FOLDER - TUTORIAL BELOW

3. BOOT.IMG - TUTORIAL BELOW

2. getting system folder

(NOTE - Rooted phone required!!)

This is universal method and can be done easily using terminal emulator.

For this simply download Terminal Emulator from Android Market.

we need freshly flashed device here. OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE LOT OF JUNK FILES.

Open it and type:

su
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar

This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar

This will take some time to finish so be patient.

After it's done you should have a tar file in your /sdcard named system.tar

You can extract it using Winrar or 7zip software. But yes this will have huge size , as it has other useless folders so you will have to delete them. After extracting this system.tar file you will get following folders (Similar one)

-> Now simply delete the folders marked in red color and its done.Don't worry if you don't have folders with red colors above,we don't need them.

And the final files that we will have in our system folders will be

NOW COPY THIS system FOLDER TO WORKING FOLDER

[Android Software Development] GuneetAtwal:
Few Guides
[Android Software Development] GuneetAtwal:
Last but the not the least: repackage the rom:D

AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ALL CHANGE/MODIFICATION YOU WANTED OPEN CYGWIN AGAIN AND TYPE

now convert update script to updater script(in option 23)

now lets edit updater script(optional)

the updater-script basically tells CWM what steps to take during the installation(flashing rom).

If you don't have any experience please don't edit anything other than what is in this simple tutorial.

TO EDIT UPDATER SCRIPT -

1.Go to META-INF/com/google/android

2.Open the updater-scrip file with Notepad++

3.Any text that would appear during the CWM install should be in this format :

ui_print("Put your text in HERE");

Add your text start at top and save,

then replace with new updater-scrip

Add New Aroma Installer to your ROMLink to Guide(By Me only)

AND AT LAST

[*]Now that you have made some changes it's time to pack the rom and test!!

Run the cygwin and type

enter option 99 - "biuld rom from working folder"

Choose your build option and few more enters

I recommend that you go with all default options until you get more experience with the kitchen.

When rom is packed and signed it will ask to change rom zip name (type name of your rom)

When its all done you will find a folder inside "cygwin/home/yousername/kitchen" called output_zip

Inside the folder is your new rom ready to be flashed and tested!!!

IF YOU WANT THAN YOU CAN MAKE CWM FLASH ABLE ZIP'S MANUALLY USE THIS TOOL BY I.AM.H3RO

congratulations you have build your own rom

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you are facing java related problem with cygwin than refer post #8

If you have a rom without kernel then remove these lines:

assert(package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8"),
delete("/tmp/boot.img"));

If there is a package error then extract the files of the rom and repack them using any compression software.

If rom installed correctly but stuck onto logo screen?? Then remove try removing kernel and flashing rom again.

If rom installed correctly but got onto bootloop then there could be many possibilities which could lead to this. If you want accurate cause of it then do a logcat.

If there are some apk's which are not working then check if you correctly modded them.

why is this problem with my rom:confused:
[Android Software Development] pepe100:
Do you have a back up of the efs folder it contains the imei information if you have it only use k-tool app and restore your IMEI.
[Android Software Development] Galaxy S2G:
no my friend i didn't know what is the efs folder until today and i don't have any backup of it

so i flashed kl3 modem and my IMEI is back but still can't read any sim and can't make calls and sms

do you have another solutions please
[Android Software Development] ktp1976:
So your efs "folder" (it's a partition) seems to be in place and fine. Did you try to flash back original cm or backup through cwm or twrp? Just to make sure it's not your phone but the selfmade rom which causes the problem...
