[GUIDE]Setting up android kitchen[WINDOWS] - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Hey all
i decided to make this guide to help new users to set up their android kitchen and start working on their first roms
now lets start
STEPS FOR INSTALING ANDROID KITCHEN​
1.install latest JAVA JDK from here or here
2.download dsixda cygwin install from here
3.extract dsixda_cygwin_install.zip
4.start setup
5.choose install from local directory
6.as root directory i suggest u to choose "C:\Cygwin"
7.and then go where u extracted dsixda_cygwin_install
and for "Local Package directory" choose cygwin_packages----when u see packages click on "all" to change rom "default" to "install"
8.download android kitchen from here
9.extract that kitchen and open folder u get.inside u see another folder copy that folder where u installed cygwin and go inside ./home// folder
10.rename that folder to "kitchen"
11.run cygwin
12.type "cd kitchen" and click enter
13. Once inside kitchen folder, type ./menu to run android kitchen. Note: if you get a permission denied error then type chmod +x menu or chmod 777 menu in Cygwin command line utility first and then only run the command ./menu .
14.follow steps u need from here
NOTE - CREDITS DONT GO TO ME THEY GO TO DSIXDA AND ketut.kumajaya​

If u find threads hard to understand, don't u think building rom is harder than that. You can try the kitchen tricks. And don't litter this thread. Its Dev only.

You should never try to build a rom. Reading is just basic. If you can't, you can't create a rom either.
P.S. - at least use proper grammar...

See what did I tell u about the kick.
Ok there are two methods to build rom
1. Get all the sources of kernel,android (froyo or gingerbread), the source code will be like 10Gb or cyanogenmod and start compiling. (Sounds easy doesn't it)
2. Get froyo kdz, extract the content(tools) Use a kitchen (probably HTC kitchen) to spiceup things replace some apps themes and zipalign,root etc etc and make a flashable zip.
This is just overview.

dude don't reply to already solved threads. It's a sincere request. if u want to help try helping the current threads.
Open manifest and search for android:label="@string/app_name" if it is like this you will find the name of the app in strings under app_name.
And this is not a place for ques!
Say thanks if I accidently helped u!

Time for a small test. What if I flash a unsigned app on a Rom which is preinstalled ? The app is systemui.apk alright.
Will it work or not? Just say yes or no .
