[Q] Use dsixda's android kitchen to port a rom ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all
There is an option to port a rom on the dsixda's android kitchen, but I'm wondering if someone could explain how - android kitchen ports - works.
It would be very nice and this could help many people.
Thanks you in advance .

The kitchen does a very basic port. It take the zImage (kernel), kernel modules, keyboard, vold.fstab (SD card), and a few other stuff from your original ROM (your device) and transplants it into the ROM you're trying to port from. Also renamed the .rc files to your device codename. Edits the build.prop to your device codename and board model. Ask if you want more or specifics.

Dastin dude, are sure about this? If so I can extract a kernel from ROM of phone build and transfer it to a ROM for same phone without probs. Saves lots of messing finding Kernels people hide. Easy extractor

Yes, though nothing is foolproof. Always be prepared for it not working 100%

On the faq section on the thread by dsixdA, he says check you've followed all steps correctly from the readme in cygwin-packages, I'm pretty sure i have followed them

cygwin is the best method to run the kitchen through. Don't go through the linux way because it'll be too lengthy. Refer to the original thread.
Also most of the times, if you're porting through different brands such as samsung to htc or motorola to samsung, they have different file structures and only sharing same cpu and gpu specs doesn't mean anything because then the sensors, camera, screen and others are different therefore you'll need to port the same sensor for your phone from your model from somewhere. So don't think it's that easy to port through kitchen.
Kitchen may help devs starting off easy but it gets messy afterwards when you're exposed to the amount of bugs within the rom.

Sorry. Your wrong or might need to re-phrase your statement. The kitchen is written in bash and sh. Which are native to nix not windows. While cygwin is a great alternative while using windows, the best method would be to run the kitchen native. No setting anything up. Just download and go. Any slight issue with your cygwin setup there goes your kitchen, then time spent troubleshooting. My suggestion is using a vm in a nix enviroment. That's the truly best way.
Lengthy? Install the vm. Run the kitchen. Maybe 20 mins. And no more then a few scripts.

You're right, the shell scripts run much faster in Linux than in Cygwin. The other advantage is that you don't need to manually run applications like Ext2Explore to extract files from a ROM; in Linux it automatically mounts the ROM and grabs the files without user interaction.
However, running the kitchen in Virtual Box may be frustrating if you want to move files between Windows and Linux.. the instructions are in the FAQ but requires some work to get it right.
I found the Wubi Linux method the fastest for running the kitchen.

Mount a shared folder to access the files. You can even mount a folder sharing the kitchen. Talking in a vm.
