hey there, can someone please help me setup dsixda's android kitchen properly, I have followed everything to the letter but it is still coming up with clear command not found,, im running windows 8 I have installed everything I needed but its still not working,, any help to get it working will get thanks
Dsixda's Kitchen (or probably Cygwin itself) doesn't support Windows 8
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
hmm thanks, I am reverting back to windows 7 in about half hour once all my downloads have gone to my other hdd,, then I will try again
also does it support the ace cuz I was gonna use kitchen to edit some roms
all still a no go at the moment,, i really want to use this to mod some roms, is there anything else i can use insted of cygwin and kitchen
Do you even know how the Kitchen works ?
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?

i am using dsixda's windows guide, and im using the latest jdk
omg this is SOO annoying, im should just give up now, if i cant even get cygwin and kitchen to work how am i gonna mod roms -_-
The easiest way is if you make a Ubuntu Live Stick or install Ubuntu on another partition.
I also was not able to set up kitchen on my Windows 7 Pc so i installed Ubuntu on my old Laptop and it worked instantly
i have snow leopard on vmdk, but using the virtual pc it wont reconise my external hdd
and im using a laptop with half a screen LOL, hooked up to my tv via hdmi, so theres no point repartitioning my hdd and installing ubuntu anything, im lucky i have installed windows too many times that i know were all the buttons are
im not a ubuntu person and have only used its years ago once,, any hints for setting up kitchen, im installing ubuntu now with windows installer hope it works
hey guys, got ubuntu on a seperate partition on my laptop now,, can you guys help me on how to start making my own rom???

Since you've already set up Ubuntu , why not compile AOSP or CM7 from source
Or would you rather stick to the Kitchen ?

could you teach me,, im a windows person not linux person hahah

Hi guys,
Over at the HTC Hero forum I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM. Recently, I purchased a Nexus One, and so I was able to port this kitchen so that it can now successfully create a rooted Nexus One custom ROM.
The kitchen works for the Nexus One but is still found at the HTC Hero Android Development subforum, so I'll probably get someone to move it to a common forum eventually:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Enjoy!
WOW, thanks, cant wait to try
can we use this forn N1???

No problem, I'm trying to get Wi-fi tethering working as well, as the Nexus One requires some additional steps to get it to work. I asked in the Wireless Tether thread.. maybe someone knows?
I'm going to check this out, may be just what I needed
Wow thanks a lot, very kind of you to do this! Setting up now
Ok, I have now updated the kitchen to version 0.20, so that Nexus One owners can now cook in the Wireless Tether. As you might know already, for the Nexus One the wireless tethering app requires a kernel modification (which is kind of complicated for the Average Joe), so the kitchen does all that for you automatically. I just used the modified kernel that is provided in the Wireless Tether project page.
ROM ROM ROM ya boot..
Works really well, although it might be better (under OSX) to make the disk bigger than 500mb.
I found the simplest way to use the soylatte java was to extract it, put it on my Kitchen disk and then simply modify the menu by adding
Code:
PATH=/Volumes/Kitchen/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/bin/:$PATH
at the top. Saves screwing up any other java dev work going on
Tested it with a Nexus One Cyanogen rom, works nicely for stripping out stuff I don't want and adding what I do.
Good Job. Thanks!

worked nicely for me too. set up a virtual machine on my macbook and loaded latest ubuntu plus jdk. ...changed splash ...stripped an apk ...added in motoapps for exchange calendar ...added a wifi tether direct instead of tool ...dropped in a few extra media sound files. the output zip flashed no problem and all tweaks (through very-very minor) working.
it would be appreciated if any more resource links exist other than those already in first post of thread. i'd like to learn more
yeah,this thing works(on mac).
but i wish we have a tutorial to cook a rom,(kernel).

I don't think the Nexus One has the storage capacity to flash a Desire ROM - has been mentioned in this forum in some threads. You have to take stuff out to save space.
Menu for build.prop? I'm as much of a noob as you.

Yes it works! But sometimes you might get an error saying installation failure, all you need to do in unmount your SD card from android settings, install the application, and mount SD card again, as easy as that!
thanx for allanswers
u convinced me so im gonna try
Hey, I am n00b and a owner of Tmobile USA HD2. I would like to install android too, let me know what exact steps u will take . there are so many roms out there, i might as well follow some one.

I too would love the help and for possibly someone to take me under their wing. I am very eager to learn.

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.

aha... so let me understand i need ubuntu?
and i need to open system img fot the app edit
can someone pls answer yes im using android sdk and yes i use stock rom how to edit img? i need to edit system for app app folder edit i could open it at linux reader but icant edit its all written in hex

Im about to take the dive myself, still rounding up the tools. Was about to dl virtual...unbuntu etc but read this just now and it makes sence so as much as i want to screwup my phine as fast as possible i think i will follow this advice.
You might have already seen and read but what the hell....

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....

Hello dear members of XDA-developers!
This is my first post, so please don't kill me. I've tried to find the answer to my question, but I guess it's too simple, since I believe nobody ever asked this.
So, I've just finished the first tutorial about developing on the android website (can't post outside links yet, but I'm pretty sure you all know it haha) and I would like to get it working on my Galaxy Nexus, but sadly I don't know how . (I honestly have no idea what version, but I'm in the Netherlands and that's where i bought it. It's running 4.1.1)
Could you guys help me out?
I know this question must've been answered before, but I can't find it.
Yes I am aware of the fact that I am a complete and utter noob and should be killed for my lack of knowledge or pro-ness in android developing.
Anyways if you read this you've made it through all of my question, so thanks for reading ^^

Assuming you are using eclipse connect your phone to your computer via usb cable. Now click the run program button and it should be sent to your device. If you have an emulator running at the same time eclipse should ask you what what device to send it to.

Thanks for the quick response man, didn't think anyone way going to asnwer this lol.
That's right, I am using eclipse and i already tried what you suggested, but the problem is that eclipse can't find my nexus..
you think it might have anything to do with the fact that im programming for 4.1.2 and my Nexus currently runs 4.1.1?
That would be weird though, since i should have compatability all the way back to 2.3.3.
Otherwise I'd need to try and get my Nexus to run 4.1.2, but I don't think it supports it, right?
once again thanks for the response.

When I started building my first app, I built the "Hello Android" example using eclipse, to run on the emulator on my Windows PC.
When that worked, I found the built .apk file on my PC, and copied it to my DroidX, and sideloaded it, and it ran fine on the DroidX.

EDIT:
Yeah, getting it installed on my phone was easy now, but when I start the app, it only says: "Unfortunately, MyFirstApp has stopped", but that's probably a problem within the app itself I think.
Thanks again for helping me out (well sortof anyways )
colonelmy
To fix it run
Code:
adb logcat
You can see what went wrong
Enviado desde mi XT912
Correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't think simply copying the apk into phone and installing work, because I guess the apk needs to be signed. But when you launch from Eclipse it need not have to, and will install straight away into your phone.
First you should make sure ADB detects your device.
Run this command in cmd -> C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb devices
Assuming you've installed android-sdk in C drive, turned on Android Debugging in phone. If it displays your device, then you are good to go and run your project from Eclipse.
