There is a rom for the hero that I am interested in porting to the eris. I have dsixda's kitchen, and have experimented with it. I just need a little bit of instruction or a guide through the porting process. I am also a little confused with update-scripts and updater-scripts. Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone? I was trying to port aospCMod, the gingerbread rom that has a working camera on the hero. I am confused in dsixda's ktchen when it asks about update scripts and updater scripts. Please somebody help.
Update: I tried it. I have no idea AT ALL if it works. If anyone wants to try it, PM me. However, do it at your own risk. I have no idea if it might mess up your phone. I'm too scared to try it on my own phone.
I tried port it also. I got it all working but the softkey and the button lights.

Did you just use the port feature in the kitchen or did you edit anything in build.prop? I wasn't sure if I should change things from heroc to desirec in build.prop as well.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I can post my build.prop if you like.
my build.prop is ok but I tried flashing mine last night but I got an update script error on line 83 installing busy box which I didn't even add to the rom. Any ideas?
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You changed it from "updater-script" to "update-script"?
Leave it as "updater-script".
So which option in the kitchen should I choose: concert the script, let the kitchen create it for me, or do nothing?
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
Do nothing.
Ok I tried again this time there was a prop error so I assume that means my build.prop is wrong. Could you please post your build.prop like you mentioned before?
Edit: disregard that I know what's wrong I don't need it.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
If you guys don't mind, could you post your build.prop?
What build.prop edits have worked for ya'll? I've been experimenting but no luck yet.

You can extract build.prop files from any ROM you like by unpacking the "boot.img" file.
To unpack the boot.img file, the tools you need to do this are:
- split_bootimg.pl (which needs perl)
- gunzip, cpio, and perl
If you are exclusively on Windows, you can install Cygwin to get a Unix emulation shell (command window) with all of the above utilities. (The Cygwin installer is quite straightforward and easy to use).
You can find the "split_bootimg.pl" perl script plus a detailed tutorial on how to do this at this android-dls.com page
Apologies in advance if you already knew this.

MAJOR NOOB ALERT!!!
Hello. Working on the theory that less is more, I'll get on with the questions...
1. I am trying to edit the .bash_profile file and I can't do it. Please help!
2. The reason I am trying to use the kitchen is to work on the excellent SFM 1.1 ROM for the wildfire. Can the kitchen be used this way, or can I try to port the SFM 1.2 from the Salsa?
I asked my mum why I was so special, but she didn't know...

I have read the third post of the kitchen
I can FIND the file, but when I open it in Wordpad and add the line on the end, cygwin still can't find my JAVA.
Sorry if this is a really noob mistake...
I did find the porting answer though
Thanks!!

I have made a VERY noob mistake...
I have just realised that editing a file that is used in a LINEX enviroment in Wordpad isn't very clever - no wonder it's not working
Could somebody tell me how I can remove the Wordpad file association and how I need to edit it so that Cygwin can recognise it?
Sorry for my stupidity...

I have installed gvim, edited the bash_profile file, and tried to run the kitchen, but then it says the clear command is not found.
I know this is covered in the FAQ's, but I have been over the installation, and am 99% sure I have done nothing wrong in installing cygwin. I followed the readme and the picture guide, and am getting very frustrated...
I only want to get the kitchen working...
(after that I'll go and hassle the guys in the wildfire forum!)
Just delete your entire cygwin dir and re install and all should be good.
By the sounds of it you did exactly the same as I did. Mines all sorted now after a re install.

Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.
bump. can anyone help a guy out??

How do you flash new rom on your samsung. Is it a .zip file and you flash it via cwm?

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Yeah so the apps are in /system/apps/ You can replace them easily, but You have to set good permisions

Yes. I use that to cook my ROM. Have you looked at the official thread? There are plenty of instructions there.

I've used it before, just for deodexing and zipaligning. The other features are supposedly meant for HTC roms only. But for some reason I get errors with busybox symlinks and the way terminal is set up using the kitchen so I don't use it to cook my rom.

That's true. I only use that for the basic things and for packaging the whole thing into zip. As for busybox, I use busybox's --install option and it will generate all the symbolic links automatically.

My Answer is for kagouro - Becouse i Don't see your post when I write.
If Your Phone is dedected in adb you can use logcat (adb logcat in windows cmd) if phone don't dedected in adb - flash recovery via fastboot, join in recovery , instal working rom and found bad files in rom (try add modyfication singly - first root, second busybox etc - in this metod you can see whad mod don't work - probably stupid method but work :cyclops

Kitchen will replace certain necessary parts of your ROM if it isn't compatible with the kitchen, it puts them back when you compile. When you compiled your ROM did you take the guided option? Also, and probably the first thing I should have asked, is your phone compatible with kitchen?

OK, just for giggles try this, take the meta-inf folder from a rom you know works and using 7zip replace the one in your rom. Let me know if that helped at all:beer:

Ext3 is a mount point, I'm not sure what it would be specific to your device, but it tells me there's an error in your updater script

just give me the updater script. file
here it is thanks
There is no mount and unmout cmd's in the script..
Well iam on phone now...
Simple solution for u is to use any any existing mod's meta-inf folder in ur mod.

Have a look at a working updater-script and you will see a huge difference
For example you need a command like
Code:
extract_dir
More set perms and mounting/unmounting system. Please check out a "real" updater-script :good:

Try download some flashable zips and view updater scripts with notepad++
This is the best way to understand how it works.
