I too have been looking how to cook my own rom, so I could do my own tinkering so I could flash right away and use my own to my personal liking. If anyone could post a video or tutorial on how to do so I would be so grateful. I learn pretty fast just need a little help here and there.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeg420:
I honestly hate when people do that ****...

The guy has 70+ posts....has been a member since 2007 you really think that he didnt search here and on google..

Considering I have been searching both places myself for over a month and all I come up with is premade custom roms... No reading on how to make a custom rom myself... What really gets me is that I read and I seem to be more confused..

With android running RUU's and signed.nbh's. Why do we have to update via a zip file... In the article that explains how to make a custom rom I found just today he says that RUU's dont allow any customization. Which is funny to me because Ive been cooking WM roms for years now which cooks the rom then signs and packs the nbh file into the RUU. I honestly have been looking for a kitchen but I dont think one exists as of yet...

Im not ready to load up YDL on my ps3 to figure out how to trim down an android rom.

Hopefully there will be a kitchen released on the same lines as say Ervius's Visual Kitchen. Just takes time. Took years for some real brains most being from this site and ppcgeeks to compile all the tools to make a rom like that.

Now that is helpful, posting up some bs like that is just rude and you deserved the reply. This site is to help not making it more difficult for people to learn how to do stuff. Just remember the short 11 months back when you joined did you know everything. Have you made any real attempt to contribute to this site or are all your posts from that sort of thing giving ****ty responses to serious questions.

Heres that link

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Just as jubeh has said, there isn't really a definitive way to cook roms. You either no, or you don't. I would first try to grab the stuff from aosp, and just piece together what comes after that

There isn't a kitchen for the dream/magic as far as I know, but the folks over at MoDaCo have kitchen's for other android phones (such as the Hero and Nexus).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reeg420:
Well thats good to know that there is a kitchen for some android phones at least. I never even think about looking at MoDaCo..huh

Ill just wait for a kitchen because I dont have to time to learn all the manual commands to be honest with you. Its just my girls phone anyway..lol

I wish I had more time like I did when I learned how to do my own wm roms.

Wow just checked out the hero kitchen....Looks exciting. Online though?? Whatever's clever I guess. Im excited though cant wait for other releases. He says in the post it will be available for other roms when the kitchen is fully developed for the hero. woot
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akapoor:
It is really not that hard to search. You mentioned him having 70+ posts... It makes him look more idiotic for not being able to find something, rather than making a new thread here.

I took 1 minute to find this post:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/Building

Ofcourse from Google...

And to answer your question (as JA said earlier) there isn't a definitive way of cooking the rom. You either know it or you don't.

If you don't have the time to learn it, was it necessary to "rant" about how much you know and why people should just be frank about the answers on forums?

But you see what I'm talking about. YOU found another link for "cooking ROMs." If the OP actually dedicated some time, instead of thinking that he'll easily learn the language and become the next Cyanogen, he'll get some where. Developing ROMs is not an easy task, ask any of the devs, especially when you start out.

If you do not have the patience to learn and discover, you will get no where (I'm not referring directly to you). And honestly, setting up your computer to develop ROMs is, imo, the easiest part. If you can't get that, then developing will be a tedious task.

Do I need to wipe etc.. between builds for WG's builds? or can I just flash latest rom?

Thanks for the Answer
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
Should be no wipe necessary, if you're already running his build. In fact, if you're on CyanogenMod, you should be able to flash straight to WG-Build without a wipe. Just flash the update without a wipe, and 95% of the time, you'll have no problems.
[Touch HD General] stanmak:
It is very interesting that no matter which cooked ROM i installed on my HD only free applications are displayed in market place. I also tried to browse the application in the marketplace on my PC and it shows all applications including all free and need to pay. However after i login in with my live ID then only the free applicaiton is shown. I doubt that the Marketplace may detect my mobile model no and prevent from showing those application that need to purchase if the model is not on their list.

Anyone knows how to crack it?
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
have you changed the drop-down in the top-right to "view all"?
[Touch HD General] stanmak:
of course I did!!
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
I wonder if you have to have a Credit/Debit card assigned to your Windows Live ID for it to show paid-for apps. I had an Xbox Live subscription before I ever logged in to Marketplace, so my Windows Live account must already have a flag against it showing that I have the means to pay for stuff. It seems a bit stupid that they would do it this way, but that's the only thing I can think of that could be causing it.

could also be a regional thing ms may not have rights to sell apps that way in all countries

Try using flashrec to do it...

Using the goldcard method ensure you havce done everything right to make the goldcard and use the first sappimg.zip (v2.53.707.2) in here:

2. yes, but no specific way, its just there isnt anything stopping you. If you find a link to a paid app (alot are found on torrents) and you have astro file manager... place the apk of the app in sd/backup/apps/... then go into astro, menu, tools, app manager, and install it:)

ps make sure 3rd party apps are allowed in settings, applications!

although if you like an app enough pay for it!

Hi

Maybe a verry a dumb question....but i want to ask it anyway.

I was wondering if there is another way to update the radio and SPL.

I only have Windows 7 and as far as i know there are some little problems with htc drivers and android sdk and i really don`t want to brick my phone.

Can`t we update them with Amon RA`s recovery just like we do with a new rom? (by pressing power and home button and renaming this files to update.zip and apply them?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I did most of this from Windows 7 the first time I flashed.

You don't have fastboot mode with Windows 7?

Please help :(

Guys - every time I try to flash the CursorSense 0.8 ROM from the Recovery menu, my device goes into this infinite loop of rebooting....or, it will just lock-up in Recovery after a few second - and I can't do anything. If I'm lucky enough to be able to click on the "update from ZIP" menu and then select the CursorSense 0.8 ZIP file, the device just goes into an infinite loop of rebooting on me forever!!

here is what I have....I believe that I did everything correct when I upgraded. I came from a very old Recovery (6+ months old) but all the updates from the instructions I found here in this thread went perfectly. Could someone PLEASE point me in the right direction? I would be GRATEFUL!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adamzeit:
UPDATE

OK - so after stopping to eat breakfast and get my head together, I realized I was NOT using the HERO version of the Recovery file. So - I re-did the steps with the HERO version of the recovery, and now at least I don't lock-up or reboot when in the recovery menu.

NOW - when i attempt to run the update with the CursorSense 0.8 ROM, it starts to find and open the package (as normal) - but then about 5 seconds into this, it stops, and the screen returns right back to the main "Recovery" menu. When I try to do it again - the same thing happens.

I'm ALMOST there...! Any suggestions on this last issue as to why the update process starts...and then abruptly stops and goes back to the main recovery menu?

Thanks again!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] adamzeit:
UPDATE # 2

So - NO - I'm really not an idiot...but for some reason, I decided to walk through all the steps in this thread again (except for the radio update because it was done already) - and now it all WORKED! The one extra step I took was wiping my SD card (which was a basic card with NO extra partitions and I have used it to flash dozens of other ROM's without an issue) and started from scratch with that too, just in case. Well, it worked!! I just installed the CursorSense 0.8 ROM successfully and it is booting now (nice Nexus boot screen BTW).

So - thanks for letting me vent and ask for help on this thread...it made me double and triple check a few things, and bam! I got through it.

As always - this forum and you guys are ridiculously amazing!
