Hello
I'm looking for some hints about the subject: how anyone can take a shipped, let me say, HTC Desire rom and let it work on HD2.
I'm not talking about doing heavy tweaks, modifications and so on... just to take a stock Android ROM and have it working on HD2.
I asked to some chefs and received some hints but It's not enough.
I don't want to think that this is a "secret" and I think would be great if some chef would share his experience/step-by-step instruction on how to do this.
As I said before, I think we could start just with simple porting of a stock htc desire ROM, just to understand all the steps. I think that further steps on how to customize and tweaks will be explored later and anyone could experiment itself.. but we need a basic starting point.
Some step by step instruction will be great like:
1) Download shipped rom from here .........
2) unrar it in linux folder
3) copy this folder, rename the other one, dowload this file, copy this...
4) execute shell command XXXXX
5) copy on your sd card
6) boot...
of course I know it's not so easy, but is just an exaple on what I ask here. I think there are a lot of other perople looking for this.
Thanks to any chef/dev that would to explain to our noobs how to get the "magic"
p.s.
I ask the moderators to keep, if possible, this thread in the Dev forum... this because we need help from devs here and in the Q&A forum it will be never noticed.
I came across this the other day that maybe of use:

Yes, I was pointed to that thread too. If you look at the end there are some questions I did. The problem is that is based on MIUI... That is already a custom ROM.
I think the better way to understand the process (not just do it) is to have hints on how to port a standard/stock HTC DESIRE rom.

Ideally the same way. In theory it should work...I never tried because sense builds (especially hd ones) are very laggy

Hello, I was just replying on the other thread to thanks you for the answers
I will try to follow your guide to port a stock desire rom (strange that are laggy for you... for me they fly...)
Anyway it's still something not clear about the donor files... If it's ok to take them from an already HD2 working rom or not.. but I will ask on your thread, avoid to make confusion
no one tip from the devs?
I'm start thinking that instructions on rom cooking for hd2 is like a secret
I've asked this many times, but as you said, no one seems to want to share this "secret"...

you can start with one of the hunderd rom that chefs already cooked. This thread is just to ask help with cooking a rom, you have not to wait.. you already can use android daily on your phone.
I have had success building with this guide but cannot get it to work with cedesmith's new initrd.gz. Does anyone have done tips on how to build with the new initrd.gz?

Did you cook a MIUI rom or a Sense rom or a stock android rom?
For the cedesmith's initrd.gz I was thinking the same thing.. maybe we have to ask directly to him.
wow, both tyween, and rafpigna, started from this, to now:
Rafroid
Typhoon
best roms on xda. Really nice work guys!
But still, no one shares the "secret" I have tried several things myself, but it didnt work. Would really appreciate if someone could share how to port a rom to the hd2.
Yeah would be great if tyween and rafpigna let us know how they managed it, what guides/reference they started of on or if they have any tips for us etc
I totally agree, I would definitly cook my own rom if I knew how to...

this rom's i cook without device..
if moderator delete this topic, ok.
******************. My friend Ham3r here cooked like 10 roms without having the actual device, made the effort and you can't do one simple thing a test and post results? If you think that flashing a phone with a not-well-made/unfinished rom can brick your device, you should at least read the wiki or understand what is written here in the forums. And before you start to insult me or whatever, take into consideration that it IS possible that you don't have the amount of knowledge needed. Start reading - stop posting stupid things.
Mod Edited. You can make your point without insults. The warnings members give are valid for a ROM that is not tested.
welcome chef, but why in wm6.1?
6.1 is faster.
rom's for leo are only 6.5.. i don't understand that.

I can see everyone from Poland ganging up on people who ask for this ROM to be removed. It does seem strange however, that someone would cook a ROM for a device they don't own, and can't test.
99% of people will NOT flash an untested ROM. It makes no sense. Even following all the correct procedures, it could still brick the device, as the chef doesn't even know if the ROM works properly. Also, uploading as a file that we need to convert maybe isn't the best thing to do either. Most people don't have the tools or knowledge to convert these files.
Can we please end the flaming and insults. How old are you people really!?
I am intrested in 6.1 rom.
_Rayearth, you have hd2, have you tested it?
Thanks.
It's because we do test untested roms and therefore we know better
I some1 want to remove thread just because it offers untested rom, then I think this person should do a little research on this matter.
BTW, is it realy so hard not to read this thread if you don't like/use the content? just ignore it.
hrcro, yes I have but personaly, I think it would hard to use it with fingers on 6.1
on the other hand, clean and fast rom like this is rare these days
The vast majority of roms on here are untested before posted, the only difference is half the chefs don't tell you! Chefs with custom kitchens cook for a lot of devices and post for users to test. NRGZ28 did this, yet nobody asked him to close his down, and he is a brilliant chef!
Stop asking for this to be closed, the OP has as much right as anyone to ask people to test something for him, it is the users that make the decision. If you don't want to test it, sod off and leave the thread alone.

hi
I'm new with the development thing but willing to learn if anyone want to help me it would bw great.
I'm tring to make a rom that goes with my company call herbalife
thank u for reading my add and for the help.
see u
you could start with the "chucky comes with kitchen" rom.that way you can see a pre loaded kitchen, and what happens when you tweak it and re build.
I would advise you to head over to the Chef Central fora for more help and information.

Im assuming you have a back ground in development? Cooking roms is not something you can just learn in a few days, As allready mentioned there are many threads in this forum relating to cooking roms, so it would be best to check those out if you're serious abuot doing it
I think what you are looking for is how to make a custom skin for Sense. No point in making a custom rom.

First of all I Thank you XDA and all developers for making HD2 to run Android
Hi! I am using Android on my mobile from the last 6months and I am trying to cook a build on my own. Don't know how to do that.
Thank God! Yesterday I saw this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Trying to work on this, I am looking for a best Glacier Sense, I downloaded the test file of the RCS team and used it with the Kitchen. I made couple of modifications. I changed the kernel to rafpigna's along with modules and initrd.gz file from your your build and repacked the ZIP. No errors but after converting the Update-script to Updater-script at the end, It showed me a message saying that I need to do some modifications in the following statements in updater-script depending on the device.
format("MTD", "userdata");
mount("MTD", "userdata", "???");
format("MTD", "boot");
format("MTD", "system");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
I am a noob in this kind of programming and ignored it. Finally I tried to flash the build using CWM, it shows me no error message but stucked at 'Installing from Zip'
So, again I tried to change those lines and copied those lines from Imilka's glacier build. Now I got an improvement, while flashing my zip through CWM it shows the message Installation aborted.
Now I can't do anything. What modifications should I need to do?
Anyone Please Help me!
Now I tested my build again, enabling Signature verification. It displays the error
Installation aborted
Toggle signature verification failed
I hope some one will point me to a correct direction,
oh .. you making roms .... good luck friend
a bit different from our syntax but sure will help you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
just experiment yourself, hundreds of times if necessary, this is the first "quality" needed to cook a build, no one will give you ready answers or solutions. I remember I flashed my first build about 80 times before I got it working...
p.s.
dont use a kitchen.. they are supposed to work with native androids, this can cause some "issues" specially in the updater script
Thank you! I will try using normal method for cooking. If you don't mind can I PM you for some assistance on my doubts.

I booted my first working build without any assistance apart the domineus thread, Yes it's possible.. you have just to be no lazy and dont want to do all things in short time. Google and XDA have 90% of answers you may need. Also you have to understand how android works "behind", or you will never be able to do "tweaks" or understand how fix things. Google android project home page is a good point to start. And remember to use android sdk and ddms always to see what's going on. Last thing, but not least, you have to use and understand a bit linux, this will help you a lot specially with debugging. About PM sorry I really have no time to reply. You can try on IRC chat when I am there or others can give you some hints

A kitchen is a good place to start for people just learning how to 'cook' or create a custom ROM, who don't want to learn all the technical details right off the bat. Updater-script issues are few, but these are also part of the learning process for aspiring cooks.
I've actually updated the Android Kitchen recently so that it will work with HD2 NAND ROMs. We did have at least one guy who successfully flashed his HD2 with the Android Kitchen. If we can get more people trying it out then it will help towards improving the kitchen
Anyways Shree - if you have any bug reports for the kitchen please report in the kitchen thread.. thanks!

I don't think that's the problem with the kitchen. The updated version is really good. But I feel that the updater-script has some thing to change. I am learning about that. If everything in my script was correct, then it might be your turn to make HD2 compatible with Kitchen. After all, I feel that this kitchen is not completely compatible with Non-native Android devices HD2.
Thanks for your support. You did your best to help me, but its my noobness to be blamed as I failed again and again.

Shree.. look for a program called Beyond Compare to do diffs between the original updater-script and the one that the kitchen generates in the end. The kitchen so far does a pretty good conversion to update-script and back to updater-script.

if you want a sense rom with everything working Froyo build try CoreDroid 1.7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507
Otherwise if you prefer gingerbread sense
Sense of Eclipse works well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124757
as well as Pyramid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075703

download ADW launcher or GO launcher and u got an aweseme themed rom that rivals Sense roms
I used a very stable DFT froyo build last time and liked it, but that was awhile ago and sure things have changed!
I don't have any experience with the gingerbread sense? Maybe have to give it a try.
Whats the main difference?
off to google!
Thanks for any input!

Sense is an additional interface added to Android, which makes it more user friendly, has more options etc
try both sense and pure android you'll see the difference
so what spl should it be to look stock? "2.10.00.."?

You really can't expect help whenever you ask for it, and if I knew anything about devving I probably wouldn't help you after that. Anyway, most devs don't pay attention to the Q&A section, so you're not likely to get too much help.

As the title says, I want to cook HD2 ROM since on every ROM I tried something was missing for me, so the solution is: I will develop my own ROM and share it here on XDA if its going well.
But, I don't really know how to start, I'm not a noob but not a developer either.
All I need is to know where to cook ROMs (I have dsixda kitchen and used it b4, but only for MAGLDR to cLK ports and some minor things, tried to cook with it but with no success, the ROM didn't boot, kerenl problem I believe...), I need to know how to start from scratch: grab base from somewhere, add / change kernels, add Aroma instalation etc.
The rest, tweaking ROM for example, I would like to know how, but too soon for now...
