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

2) 5 Sec of Your Precious Time
3) Pc/Lappy
Processs/Workingss
1)Download the zip from above mediafire link
2)Make a folder in Desktop
3)Copy/Paste the downloaded zip there...
4)Extract it there...
5)Now you will get a folder name " Sign+_v1.2.2 "
6)Go inside that folder, & Run the " Sign+.exe "
7)A white Popup will came..
8)Now simple drag & drop the desired apk on that white surface, or you can Browse to it.
9)Then click on " signfiles " button.
10)Then Goto that folder where your original files was kept & you will find the signed apk there....

If u have modified any xml in apk file such as systemui.apk then to make it work properly in ur rom after compiling u have to sign apks otherwise u may get fcs.

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 .

From what you are trying to edit the build.prop file??mobile??root explorer or any explorer??
If yes you must be changing it without read-write permission to system folder and just with read-only permission.
If not,then there must be something else.
If it helps you,hit thanks.

to decompile we use an app called as apk multi tools and another app apk manager !!
both are good...works fine for me...!!
i think u will need sdk tools installed in pc to make apk managaer and apk tools work on your pc !!
google about it, you will get more answers.
and there is a guide in development section named 'make custom rom' which shows how to decompile any apk..!!
