Sorry to create a new thread, If this was the wrong place to post this, move this
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 don't think its possible for a noob like me with out someone's assistance.

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.
Anyway, I learning to know how things are happening in an Android build

this is a great news. I used your kitchen about in november to deodex my build but I had issues with sense hd so I moved to deodex mysefl manually. I will sure try out when I will have time and I will report to your thread for feedback

I already did that with imilka's Glacier sense build. As I use the base from RCS team's touch build as Imilka did. Can't find any difference. Thank you for keeping an eye on me!

The kitchen was updated a couple of weeks ago to support fully deodexing the Desire HD ROMs - is that the one you mean?

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.

Hi everyone, i am graduating in T.I here in Brasil.
I know C / C++ Programming, Java (Standard and Android Programming aswell).
I was wondering,what should i need to start helping all great developers like Kyrillos,Rudolf,Apolo and their teams to develop those custom roms.
Also,how hard it is ?
Sorry if this is at the wrong forum,but i hope i can get some answers before someone closes it
Thanks in advance !

Lol.
Post in general section bro. You don t need extensive C/C++ or Java unless you developing kernel or editing, making new frameworks and apks.

Hm, what exactly makes those custom ROMS faster than the stock ones ?
My bet is that the little ( and lower level , like assembly , C ) tweaks that make them faster.
Am i Wrong ? I really dont know,this is my only shot to be honest
Thanks again !
actually custom roms are nothing else then stock with a litle photoshop, some added/removed apks and repacked. they dont get realy much faster than a stock rom except if they contain a custom kernel, where the full potential of customization lies. with your knowledge you should concentrate on kernel development, there is a thread here describing all needed to get your own kernel up and running, have a look at the fugumod and the g3mod kernel thread to see what goals are already accieved and find your own customizations to make the g3 better. also u could pick up on the graphics driver project posted here somewhere, iirc nobody took the plunge yet to do this, and youd be the hero for many of us if u get it runing...

Graphics driver stuff:

So as everyone has probably noticed alot of people have opted-out of the X10 community, developers and consumers alike.
I have this phone for another year so I would like to learn how to create rom's and kernels so I can contribute back to those who have help fed my flash addiction.
Where do I start??
Thanks in advance for the input,

I would also like to learn how to make my own ROM and kernels to contribute to the site and phone.
It won't come to you automatically guys .
Read through the forum , Read Read & Read .
Experiment things .. You'll get lots of headaches , But it'll be worth it .
& Then ask for help , There should be a issue to solve right .
Thanks Oodie. I didn't know there was an entire section of the forum dedicated to this as well.
Nathvader check this out.
Oh well would you look at that! Ok everybody I should have ICS port and kernel up and running by tomorrow...
hehe jk will start small thanks for the help Oodie love your roms btw!
Also good luck Dragon Outlaw King!

I believe you can develop in whatever environment/OS you want, but you will need a working knowledge of linux to be able to work on kernels especially and ROMs too (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

For kernel stuff I think you have to be on Linux, because of the required dependencies and libraries.

First u need a fast internet connection to download stuff(kitchen,sdk.etc)
Then a Linux machine(u can get it for free)
Then its not easy as u put popcorn in ur microwave and it comes out cooked
U need to learn commands(Different commands are required for different things)
Like u have to type many commands to compile(correct me if i m wrong)
And if u get errors their are different commands to solve that error
I know only this much but i don't know any command
I have windows

The thing is I want to create my own custom rom but not such as I want to do is decompile / disassemble a rom, and try not to use linux but I could not, and therefore I am very determined and want to do my rom .
I would like to help me as hacerlo.Tambien try copying system files, as is the sytem folder but when I flash the rom failed.
And I hope you can help me greetings and congratulations to all xda developers above.

1st- learn the basics of android
2nd- if you use windows, search for dxiaxda's kitchen
3rd- follow instructions from there,
pretty much that,
you must learn it yourself since learning is understanding,
and understanding is the beginning of learning
Compiling Is the wrong word mate. I had created a howto long back, search for it

Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to this, so thought of having some valuable opinions from Android Gurus here. Currently i am running Aurora V8 on my i9500; i am confused which custom kernel to install. There is Voltaq kernel, there is Haylcion's kernel and then there is LW kernel. So i really don't know which kernel should i install and is it actually any fruitful installiing the custom kernel.
So someone please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

If you don't know what the difference is, then you probably don't need another kernel.
If you want to learn more about it, then read the kernel threads and start experimenting.

That's a strange reply, i guess you skipped the part where i mentioned that i am very new to this and by that i mean i am knew to android development. So as per your answer if someone is new to any technology he should not ask for guidance from people who have little more knowledge in that particular field ???
I am myself a Linux guy for years; but i would never give such a reply to someone who comes and ask me "That i want to try a new Linux flavor or i am migrating from Windows and want to try Linux but i don't know which Linux flavor should i try" and i reply him by saying "If you don't know the difference between Linux and Windows you don't need it"
Rather than guiding someone in a proper your response looks more like someone who is so proud of what he knows. Anyways THANKS for your reply but it did nothing good to me.
His reply was entirely appropriate. While XDA apparently now permits "which ROM/kernel/mod/whatever is best" threads, the practice is foolish. The only way to really determine which ROM/kernel/mod/whatever is appropriate for you is to read the thread for it, install it, and try it out. In your case, you know the names of the three kernels you're interested in. Therefore you need to head to the development section for your device, find the appropriate threads on those kernels, and start reading. Then install the kernels and try them out. From there you can then make an informed decision.
If you want a guide - someone to hold your hand - you're not going to find it here.

That's not what I meant. I am guiding you.
In every kernel thread there is a description on what's included in the kernel. There is no best kernel and there is no better kernel. You have to try it out for yourself what kernel you want.
It all comes down to personal preference. So there is no anwser to your questions. We can't tell you what kernel you should install.
I never asked for the BEST kernel, but anyway thanks for your replies. Lets put an end to this question here only.
