I am looking to start a open source kitchen in my spare time. I plan to write the kitchen in Python and I would like input from the community. For features they would like to see in a kitchen. I am open to all input from the community
If this is not the right area for this I apologize.

Pm me and let me know.
I am also working on a python script for use in Linux, Mac, and Windows.
My script is non-gui for now, and will at first be focusing on device tools (such as installing drivers, installing adb, pushing/pulling files, etc), then I will be adding some rom customizing tools.
I think I am going in another direction than wes342 is, but I am sure we could all help each other out.
Sounds like what I'm doing pm me if you need help diehappy

I too would love the help and for possibly someone to take me under their wing. I am very eager to learn. I'm always on my phone, and always trying to read, but sometimes the forums just contradict themselves, and let's face it, with all the drama going on in the forum, it can sometimes get a little frustrating trying to ask for help, especially when someone doesn't want to be bothered by a noob.

Not sure what you are asking. For the sdk tools, do you mean the android sdk? If so, follow the instructions on the sdk page. For the images, I assume you mean the boot.img and possibly system.img. You do not open these. If you have a system.img, that means you probably have a shipped rom. Use the kitchen to create working folder from rom, and choose this. It should auto extract the system partition. As for the boot.img, you don't generally need to extract this, but there is an option in the advanced settings of the kitchen. You can change your rom's kernel in the boot.img.

Hey Guys!
First of all a bit of encouragement. The android kitchen sure as hell does not turn you into a rom developer. I decided i wanted to use the kitchen just over 2 weeks ago and run ubuntu in a virtual window. From then I decided I did not like windows anymore so installed linux as my main os and had to learn that (trust me getting the graphics card to work was a chore) I finally got the kitchen working tonight and decided to sign up to xda. Even with my limited knowledge I have been able to help someone on here tonight. Read Read Read and ask questions if you can not find the right answers on the forum. Research pays off eventually. (I now softmod nintendo wiis professionally from learning off a forum!!!!) Remember everyone has to start somewhere even if you are a noob and don't get disheartened if someone says you should have read this this and this. As long as you learn from ur mistake I'm sure people wont mind too much.
SFUK
aha... so let me understand i need ubuntu?

Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.
Android Developer Guides: http://d.android.com
Working with AOSP source: http://source.android.com
Platform Developer Guide: http://pdk.android.com
Android Gitweb: http://android.git.kernel.org
Git Ready (Git tips and tricks): http://www.gitready.com/
Building CyanogenMod: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...ng_from_source
How Dexopt works and what are those odex files: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pla...5936;hb=master
The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.

What version of Linux are you running? Are you running Ubuntu? I never had much luck using the Android Kitchen in a virtual environment for some reason. When I installed Ubuntu as my main OS, however, that made all the difference. From there you'll also need to make sure you have the Java Developers Kit (JDK) installed or at least open-jdk (Open source alternative) installed in order to run the Android Kitchen or the SDK for that matter.
There's a really good tutorial on how to set up the SDK on Ubuntu 10.10 or Ubuntu 11.04 which is what I had used to set up the SDK on linux for the first time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
I prefer 10.10 just because I'm not huge on Ubuntu's newer Unity interface and my old laptop seems to run 10.10 a lot better than 11.04 or 11.10 but that's another story.
Once you have the SDK setup, you can then run the kitchen accordingly.
I use a tool called Android Utility by tommytomatoe which is essentially a collection of tools for creating custom ROMs, editing apk's, etc. It just happens to also include dsixda's kitchen which is a nice plus. You can download that here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3303-utility-android-utility-apktooldex2jarsmalimoremac-linuxoct09-2011/
Hope this helps. Good luck, dood!
**Edit** My bad... There's also a thread for Android Utility on XDA also....

So my question is, how do you become a themer??
What programs are needed and what knowledge do I need to gain?
Must I learn java and HTML?
etc.
To all the THEMERS that reply to this thread I will be very generous with the thanks button
Thank you in advanced!
what you must have: deodexed apps; windows explorer; possibly a notepad; a batch rename program; .pngs; and knowledge of copy and pasting .pngs
It is suprisingly simple.

Using UOT is the easiest thing u can do.
Also, in CM you have .xml files in framework-res.apk with the colour-codes in it.
If you edit them, the colours change. So that's also an option.
But first try UOT and experinent with Q's like:
'What file is changed when i add the option 'notification power buttons''
Good luck!
The thing is that most of these xml files are compiled and need to be decompiled before editing and compiled again...
if you wanna be a REAL-TIME Themer, who themes using the source code and not the already developed ROMs, you need to know Java and a bit of c programming to tweak your rom..
if you wanna be a simple themer, yes you dont need any specialisation, just drag and drop, delete etc... just need a bit of experience...

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.

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.

Here's the replies
1. That depends of the device you currently own
2. I use gedit but most people says that gedit and Vim are the best editors for ubuntu.
Also you would need the android sdk (for adb) also you will need jdk. If you want more informations don't be affraid to ask.
EDIT: I forgot to ask which languages you have learned?
im learning Python using google.com/edu great online webinars my company want me to also learn ruby as we develop our apps using rails.

You cant decompile any compiled to machine code program, its basic.. You can only get source code or deassemble to unreadable and unusable code.
