Hi guys,
sorry to post here, but I can't post in the development section yet...
I'd love to try the Theme Creator for the Avatar UMTS spyder Rom under my linux system, but it's a 64 bit executable, that doesn't run on my 32 bit system (and I don't want to use an emulator). If someone from the Avatar team is reading here, could you please also upload a compatible package for 32bit linux systems?

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. Thanks in advance

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.

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

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....

Hi guys other devices have a thread like this so thought I'd get it going.
Here I share a folder, has a working unyaffs, built on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit known to extract all current neo img files.
a nice 51-udev rules that contains many popular phone models
and a recovery bundle too install cwm from linux, please feel free to add your own contributions and share

Two new additions today.
Motorola's modified fastboot, allows flashing larger images.
Android utility - nice little script will set up and update kitchen and help with porting.

thanks for sharing but unyaffs didn't work on my ubuntu 12.04 32 bit or other 32 distros i don't have any 64 distros so can't tested on those
error is Cannot execute binary file
may I ask did you build unyaffs for 64-bit
Yes sorry, built on 64 bit, just build it frm svn and it will work fine
added 64bit to first post now thanks

also doesn't work with ICS system.img(ftf, not nandroid)
Has anyone tried flashing one of these converted imgs, with fast boot? Does it work
Sin2img strips certain bytes from the sin to create the IMG, could be Sony altered the byte order meaning the IMG are corrupt, especially considering what we had with flashtool final verification failure.

added neo&vboottools.
contaions perl scripts to unpack and repack boot.img, edited to use default sony method, so that kernels boot after use. third perl script to extract commandline from existing boot.img, so that if extra options are needed you can add t repack script, just open in any text editor the script is straight forward.
binaries for mkbootimage and to565 included to create logo.rle for boot logs (e.g sony not bootsplash)

I have merged Cygwin with the kitchen so you don't have do that complicated Cygwin installation anymore. However, you still need Java JDK installed on your computer at first, please refer the original thread.
Here is the download link Download and unzip it then run runme.bat and you are good to go :good:
Hey thx for the information :good: i wanna ask you how to unpack boot.img with this software? Thx

You sir, are a lifesaver.
I've been dealing with that horrible cygwin installer for 3 days and still got nothing due to the unreliable speed of internet connection in here, Indonesia.
Don't want to derail the thread and awesome work by the op. There is a kitchen that works fine in windows with no need for linux what so ever. I won't link it out of respect for the op but if you search xda you'll find it

There are 2 kitchens you can use in windows one is a merge of cygwin and dsixda so it's just a one install the other is ricki kitchen. Personaly I'd create a live linux USB stick and run linux from there if you don't want to install linux

Thanks for your response. Between the two window ones, do you know anyone of them have been updates for the 64 SoC CpU?
Helped me a lot. :good:
If someone could post a link to or PM me for getting official 2.0.205 32bit system.img that would be very much appreciated.
(I need it because I have RemixOS 2.0.205 32bit installed on HD, but next upgrade will require it with correct sha1sum)
Have a nice day.

Official install version by Jide is updated to 205... If you can download that, open the .exe as a zip via 7zip etc.
