Request for the Chefs, I was stuck at Creating a Rom using Kitchen. Please Assist me

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.

Creating a Rom and Kernel.

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,
Vader
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

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!

(Maybe) this could be useful too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17788748

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.

There's a whole sub-forum on this site for Android Rom Cooking, why don't you have a look in there...
Sent from my Snapdragon.

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

I've been following that thread and was inspired to install ubuntu so I could join in the fun. This in turn lead me to updating my BIOS, & modifying my power supply to allow a second hdd. Now, I'm stuck at properly installing GNU make haha.
Thanks for the contribution Lithid. One request unrelated to CMC, could you post the tools necessary in ubuntu to compile an HTC kernel? EVO's got an OTA update to 4.67.651 Android 2.3.5 this included a new kernel and I'd like to play with modding it. I am aware this is above my pay grade so to speak, but enjoy the challenge of learning something new.
Once again thanks Lithid.

The thread has a list of needed tools, those will do. Also, remember it takes a while for HTC to release kernel source.

We are legion, for we are many.

Yeah I did dumbass but I know nothing of the programs needed nor do I have a computer to even run them on. So ill ask again. Has anyone been able to compile CM7?

Well dumbass then you can't compile the nightlies you need a computer to do it ffs if you don't know how to do something learn if you don't have the tools then you can't learn this thread was for people to compile the nightlies for themselves alot of ppl have gotten it to work if you read the thread you'd know that, your question really makes no sense since you don't have the tools to compile are you asking someone to do it for you, being vague in your question then calling ppl dumbass and having a smartass response isn't going to get you a handout. I can compile from source, but with your response I'd tell u to shove it before I compiled anything for you

[Q] Where is the BEST place to start researching to make my own Custom ROM's?

I see a lot of threads out there to start making Custom ROM's. I was just wanting opinions on the first place to get the most reliable information.
I basically want to know what it takes to build a ROM from scratch or at the very least modify a current ROM.
I am currently running Nitrous v1.3.3 on the HTC EVO 4g.

For compiling from source, lithid-cm has a thread in the dev forum titled "wanna learn to dev correctly?", but I don't know if it's still active.
And I believe if you wanna modify an existing ROM, you'd wanna use dsixda kitchen.
Sorry, that's the best info I got.

Chk Ur framework or kernel most times problem in framewrk ...some time kernel not supported some init.d like hell lock kernet not booted if 99complete tweak present in init.d folder .. so i thnk problem in these two...!!

this question is asking the same logic as "why is my computer slow?"
there are 78,644,223,887 available reasons why,
i'd suggest broadening your "team's" knowledge of the principles and basics of the software industry,

Did you cook your rom with kitchen...If yes then youm must sign your rom and all apps inside it.To My thoughts the rom does'nt even start this is the most common case.Check whether your rom contains boot.img and build.prop as if Kitchen din't report any error.If you modified framework please sign it with Jarsigner and other modified apps also.Now sign your rom with kitchen and then flash it.....
Gud luck,
Im awaiting your rom..
optimusinc

Best I can say is try installing the modded apps one by one..c if they work..then test ur tweaks to b if they work..n finally make the zip file correctly by comparing to other zips..mostly probably u messed up ur updater script..

Thanks....

i understand that you are a budding developer,
however i've seen you making threads recently on issues that could be solved be either doing research and proper utilization of the search function,
if you really want to learn i'd suggest learning it the proper way by researching the basics and understanding how the android system works, making question threads won't help you at all and it never did for everyone else,
as you can see you need to look for the answers on your own,
considering google and xda has both a search engine,
please care to look into those matters which confuses you,
try first building your own updater-script and making a flashable zip file,
proper ROM building is not easy so i'd suggest keep your heads up and learn it the right way,
also,
people will just probably troll and ridicule you with threads like this
