I didn't watch the video but the folder with the updates folder and root files is the one that you will use to flash via cwm
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
I don't quite understand what you are trying to say, but why not download either jim's rom or the SEARCH rom, and see for yourself how we structured our zip files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SirM2X:
Thanks for the tutorial man :-)

I learned the basics I wanted to learn :-)

Now I'm able to modify other cooked roms to my taste!

Thank you again.

but i have this error
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dizzyizzy:
I used the Froyo rom that was downloaded by Kies for my I9000 phone. The problem is that in download mode my phone doesn't get recognized as a proper device. So, I cooked a new ROM using JPG_JPF_U_JPE.tar.

I followed all the steps exactly as the video by Nokia7vista. I had no errors during the building of the rom. Once I tried to run the update.zip in recovery mode I got "Installation aborted" error. I don't know why it's not recognizing the package as a proper rom update. If anyone can help that would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coldflid:
Are u using clockworkmod?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dizzyizzy:
Nope. I'm not using clockwork mod. Just using the plain recovery mode from the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexxandro84:
Can you help me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dizzyizzy:
What is the full path of the directory where you have unzipped the kitchen files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dizzyizzy:
I downloaded Clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.2. and ran the rom using that. Got the following errors:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dizzyizzy:
Now it's stuck on the Samsung GT-I9000 bootup screen and nothing happens. The recovery mode doesn't help. I tried the run sdcard update.zip and it says it will bring up clockworkmod recovery but it goes back to the phone's recovery mode. The download mode gets recognized as an unknown device. So, basically there is absolutely no way for me to go back to the rom that was backed up by clockwork.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OzanOs:
do you have tryed to add a Theme?

If yes then it was incompatible and now it stucks on the bootup screen.

If you have another working zip on your sd you just have to install it, if not you should check your usb drivers and try to install a stock ROM with odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
Delete the current samsung usb drivers and reinstall the drivers again. Also try to use another usb port to connect to your phone.

P/S: When you first flashed your update.zip, it is very common to wait for quite a while to get to the welcome screen, the reason being, all the files and apps are being populated, and that is going to take some time.

You need to have some patience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coldflid:
That happened 2 me 2 days ago. What i did is unplug my phone from the computer. Restart download mode. Open Odin v3 1.7, setup the necessary files (clean jpu, pit file, phone and csc) then i plugged my phone in, recognized as COM4 and clicked start.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexxandro84:
I tried but nothing :(:confused::mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coldflid:
Edit: Don't try that, it won't work. It just happened to me today and i randomly found a solution:) I was in download mode and was recognized as unknown O.O

What i tried is to flash through another computer, so to get the files i plugged in a usb... result, usb also recognized as unknown :eek:

Then i realised it wasn't the phone, then i realised i had another pen drive plugged in that was working, so i unplugged that pen drive and introduced the galaxy s usb>micro usb into the port in which the working pen drive was.

And as amazing as it seems, it got recognized!

I'm having another problem, when i type ./menu, it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coldflid:
working now
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexxandro84:
how? :(:(:(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coldflid:
I just updated the java drivers and worked fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dizzyizzy:
As the instructions in the video says, make sure to install Java before installing cygwin and android kitchen. Install the latest Java runtime on your computer from oracle.com. Then install the cygwin package that is recommended by nokia7 and you shouldn't be having all these issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dizzyizzy:
BTW, I recovered the rom for my phone. I was able to flash the Eclair 2.1 stock ROM back into my phone. Then I went ahead and upgraded it to Froyo today. All is well in this world :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coldflid:
haha :) :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wayne_zmh:
I have the same problem.

Sorry to ask, is redbend_ua the update script? How can I edit it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RMGeren:
The update_script is called "update_script", redbend_ua is the binary used to flash kernel and modem (among others) files. You'll find the update_script in the META folder (I forget the whole path ATM.)

On another note, I am working on a hacked-up version of the kitchen featured in the OP. It's not ready for its own thread yet, but it won't be long! It's at my github site: https://github.com/rmgeren/Android-ROM-Kitchen

By Monday I hope to have full functionality, but be warned, I will not be supporting windows since I don't have a windows box to test it on!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cs4ever:
So everybody is sure its not working at all???

Any program for creating tar?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cs4ever:
I can not edit the update script neither...:confused: Which program should I use?

And what should I change exactly in the script if I have the sameproblem?

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/cat

E: failure at line 6:

symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat

I really wanna create an own rom...:rolleyes:

You should seriously think about posting a TEXT-ONLY version as a separate thread. If you do that, I will be the first one to recommend a sticky. But please make sure the steps WORK.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
HAHAHA,

Guys and Gals, This will NEVER work for SGS. It was never meant to. I really donot know why the OP never gave published the correct link to the kitchen.

I think he just took the idea & many other things from there & made a thread here.

- This kitchen has support for the following HTC devices:

* Hero / G2 Touch

* Nexus One

* Dream / G1

* Magic / myTouch 3G

* Tattoo / Click

* Droid Eris

* Evo 4G

* Incredible

* Legend

* Buzz / Wildfire

* All other rooted HTC Android devices (untested)

For those who really want to know/study & learn/contribute check out THIS

PS : Why don't we all create a similar kitchen for Samsung devices?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] coldflid:
Maybe it doesn't work but maybe it does, but in case it does i guess it's only on clockworkmod and with the CF-Busybox kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I think somewhere in the video it says something about not being able to use all the kitchens functions, so maybe parts of it can be used? I haven't used this kitchen before but y'know...

And yes, a Samsung kitchen would be great! My Nexus is a waiting... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jonathon Grigg:
I guess I could, I'll attempt to make sure the steps work, but I won't be able to try it out on a SGS. Give me a few days and I'll see what I can do ;)

But if anyone can help by mentioning problems they have faced when trying to install the custom ROM to their devices that would be a great help! :D

I'm having trouble getting it to install after I'm done. It goes straight back to my old rom, any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lee1733:
I have tried multiple times and always get an error with whichever "symlink" line is first in the update-script. It was a different error each time I tried but always with the first symlink line. Also, if I use the update-script checker in the kitchen, each symlink line gives its own error.

I did notice that while building the rom, the kitchen mentions something about no symlink fix needed, which seems like it may be wrong, but I'm not sure how to force it to do this fix.

Edit: The only options I am using in the kitchen is to deodex the apps (not sure why the video says not to deodex the framework but I tried both and had the same errors each time), add bootanimation.zip support, change rom name, and zipalign the apk's.

Hi to all.

I wanted to ask a simple question:

Is it possible to test if a custom rom works before flashing it to my phone?

e.g. test the rom on my computer with an emulator because i have often a brick.

If someone knows if its possible i would like to know.

Thanks to all :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
@Panthers_den,

Good that it worked for you. As to the pngs, take great care on those with xxxx.9.png. Those are special icons with flexible width or height. You will need to use the 9.patch from the android sdk to define your icons. Not even Gimp can handle those icons.

Also, if changing icons only for your theming, you don't even need apk manager to do it, just open up your apks using 7zip, navigate to the /res/drawable-hdpi/ and replace those images.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Panthers_Den:
Yea, I've made it a point so far to avoid the .9's, I've read to much on them to realize they are a pain. :D But I'm getting to the point where I'm wanting too soon. hehe The ones of mine that don't work are like jpg's I downloaded off the internet, modified then saved as a png (photoshop) and copied that over to the apk. It's those apk's with my custom pngs (not .9s) that crash when trying to use it (system apks i swapped out with those custom pngs: mms and phone). Haven't tried a custom png in a data apk yet though.

I've actually only used apk manager to sign my data apk's and try to zipalign, but can't get zipalign feature to work. Looking at the logs, seems apk manager doesn't like my java?? Since I'm still not satisified with my rom, I haven't bothered to troubleshoot the ziplalign error message yet. Figured I'd do that once I have a rom that looks/does exactly what I want. Then I'll worry about optimizing it. :D

Y-cable is with goldcard and xxxyydiag.img file but that is also not free... I've got A1 also, but mine was simfree. 20$ is reasonable fee and you have to be carefull when you entering unlock code... it is simplest also :)

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyz3:
On windows 7 you need too go to network sharing-home network and set a password there. Set all your sharing options there and check the encription from 128 to the one below I think 40 something. Right click on the files you want to share and share to all.

Trust me I could not get to work for a long time until I changed the encryption from 128
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divx118:
I have 128 bit encryption on on windows 7 and can see my smb shares.

However smb and windows 7 is a bit tricky.

I had/have the following problems:

1) On the archos it asked me for username and password which I filled in correctly, but it didn't work. It started working after I rebooted my windows 7. Never had this problem since.

2) Once in a while I get no content in my shares, I have then to close the filemanager and restart it again, or reboot the archos.

One suggestion always work with usernames and passwords it saves you alot of trouble.

[Nexus S General] kramer987:
hey guys i'm having some trouble. i just got the nexus (it's my first smartphone, ever) and i've tried to hit the ground running. here's what i've done to the phone so far.

i got all the drivers running on my win7 machine and also installed the android SDK folder onto C: as was described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=878786

i then unlocked the bootloader using the above guide as well. when I power on the phone using UP+POWER it says UNLOCKED.

I then proceeded to follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875875

i used ADB to flash the clockwork crespo recovery. i then used fastboot to install Superuser.

at that point i had an unlocked bootloader, clockword recovery image and superuser permissions.

i then saw that the 2.3.1 update had been released. i wanted to learn how to tackle that so i started reading up. i noticed that people were using ROM Manager and Titanium. I got titanium and installed the BusyBox addon and it allowed me to do a full Batch Backup of all my programs, etc. i've got the 50MB or so backup folder on my PC now.

anyway, i then messed with Rom Manager. I installed the 3.0.0.0 ClockworkMod Recovery and everything went smoothly. now this is where my troubles begin.

when i go to Download ROM all i get is a Free Stuff area.

when i go to Check for ROM Updates it tells me my device isnt set up for OTA updates.

those are just minor issues.

this is the big and scary issue i have:

when i click on reboot to recovery, it takes me to the same screen that i go to when i power on with VOLUME UP+POWER. it doesnt take me to the recovery screen that i see in various youtube videos. instead, i'm at the main screen where it says UNLOCKED and i have 4 choices (reboot bootloader, recovery, reboot, power off). and on the very top in RED letters it says fastboot - no boot or img file. <-- this is the part that makes me nervous. If i manually power down the phone and boot to fastboot and click recovery, it just goes back to this same screen and says fastboot - no boot or img file. when i first rooted the phone, clicking recovery actually took me to a different screen where i was able to load up superuser.zip and install it.

did i accidetnally delete something that i wasnt supposed to? did installing ROM manager mess something up? i typically dont do anything until i confirm that i am supposed to. i think the problem is that i dont yet know how one thing i do on the phone affects another. i'm guessing when i used rom manager to update the CWmod it changed some folders/files? i dunno!

otherwise, the phone works fine and there are no glitches or hiccups or crashes. So if someone can please take a moment to just explain to me what i did wrong or what i failed to do i'd really, really appreciate it.
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
you don't have a recovery partition. Either flash one over manually using fastboot, or boot up and try to use ROM Manager to flash CWR.
[Nexus S General] kramer987:
when you say flash one over using fastboot, do you mean put my phone using VOLUME UP + POWER, connect usb cable, then use command line to do this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-crespo.img

?
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
yes, just follow the examples in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875875
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Yes, 'cept it will be "fastboot flash recoveryrecovery-clockwork-3.0.0.0-crespo.img" without the quotes now.

But does it say that you're missing a boot.img or recovery.img?

Also, the "not set up for OTA" thing isn't for official OTAs. Some developers have made their custom ROMs capable of being updated that way.
[Nexus S General] kramer987:
thank you luxferro and unremarked. i did it and it works perfectly. i am now able to access clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.0. next step is backup my existing ROM and also to figure out how to put the OTA 2.3.1 on and restore all my data :)

oh and unremarked: it basically said no boot or img file and thats it after i would click on recovery or reboot to recovery trhough rom manager. it was just in red at the top. but now it takes me to the ClockworkMod Recovery :)
