Can someone please direct me to a working Kitchen for this phone? Also any hints or tips would be nice. I've done a bit of ROM cooking for Windows Mobile and Windows Phone, but never on Android. I'm anxious to get my hands dirty on the G2 and need some guidance.
I looked at the Kitchens listed, but didn't see any that specifically said they were G2 compatible.
Thank you in advance,
SuperSport
Needed Advice:
Dumping steps - Tools Needed
Working Kitchen - System Requirements - Hopefully Windows 8 x64???
Anything else you can think of...
G2 is too new to have any sort of Kitchen. We just now have a few ROMs based on the stock ROM.
How are the cooks doing the modifications to the stock ROMs to get a working customized ROM?

Completely different on android..... not really any cooks... eventually there will be alot of roms, and u find one with the features u like and use it, or build ur own from source how u want. Below is a link to info on really the only Android kitchen, but not the same deal as windows! Read up, and see what u think. If u want to learn to dev read, read, read, read..... and try and let go of ur windows based knowledge!!!

I would suggest you go down the AOSP route, it's the most documented, and there are teams of well versed Devs out there. Just a suggestion though. As always is about the fun. Have some

I really want to contribute to this community. Where do rom hackers start? Just download the aosp and start reading? Must a dev be a kernel hacker to do this kind of stuff?

Very promising to see a bonified Android Dev usin' the Sprint tab! I'm no Dev, but I'd love to hear your progress... I too have wanted to try and learn, but life seems to play great defense...lol. let us know how hard it is to get the toes wet!

good start point for someone learning how to make a custom rom would be to download a rom and unpack it..
you will see then what its made of and if you feel like it you could simply add a few bits re-theme it remove a few items then .zip it all back together...
this would earn you the title of a 'Win-Zip-Dev' !!
or you could just download android sdk learn a bit of java and learn to love linux for a year, then you would more likely find yourself with a more respectable 'Rom-Dev' status.
good luck - happy development

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for
Most ROM hackers here repackage Samsung's binary releases with extra/or less stuff and sometimes modified initramfs/kernel.
If you want to build CM6 from source I can help you with that, PM me.
Good luck with AOSP, it is missing ton of stuff to run on Tab.
OK so i have the original EVO
i want to make a rom from scratch or someones else so i can fix it even more because frankly..i have alot of time on me and people need a good rom.
it doesnt seem hard but maybe Virus or more developer can help me here.
its more because i like the sense 3.5 roms but it seems alot of little bugs and especially that sms split bug. And i want to see if i can fix all that but i need people to start helping me with links or guides.

Can anyone advise me on what apps I need to start to build a custom rom for the S3 I300?
Any help would most helpfully, as I would like to give something back to XDA.
Apps aren't gonna build a ROM for you mate.. None that I'm aware of. Honestly I'd try googling starting points, chances are it will lead you to a thread or two here on XDA.

Ok, so I'm going to be making a ROM... shocker, right? Another scrub getting started with Android development.
I just have a few basic questions, mostly preference stuff, before I settle down for the long haul with my ROM. So here's a few generic questions, and if any DEV's or experienced users could answer I'd appreciate it.
1) MDL or MF9?! This question has been bugging me ALL day. I'm running MDL right now and have no issues with it, but I know MF9 has a few improvements over MDL. If MF9 is the "future" then should I flash stock MF9 and start developing for it instead of MDL?
2) IDE... Ok, so I'm a noob and am running Windows 8, lol. (I know, shoot me now.) Although I'm not opposed to downloading Ubuntu again and dual booting for DEV purposes, I'd prefer to stick to just Windows. So as far as Windows goes, what IDE should I be working with? I know that Eclipse is the running champion, but I also know that Android Studio is now officially backed by Google and is making some headway, although it's still in its early stages.
3) Stock or custom... So this question is more personal preference I suppose. Obviously I'm at no skill level to just be outright coding my own stuff. I need to start with a base and work up from there. The obvious answer to this is to copy someone else's ROM and build it my way. That way I can see how other people develop and can learn from them. But, I also know there's a benefit in starting fresh from stock, primarily so you don't have to deal with other people's bugs. Then I can add my own mods and code as I want. So.. as a noob, should I start with stock or build off of someone else's work?
Thanks for the responses

Here are my personal opinions. I am not a custom Rom builder because I like to stick closer to stock myself. So take this for what it is worth.
1. MF9 is the current OS version. So like it or not that is going to be the "supported" version until a new one comes out. I would personally work on that.
2. I use Eclipse myself and have not tried Android Studio. Although I will check it out now
3. I would say start with a clean base. I am really anal so even if I started from a full Rom as the base I would still end up tearing everything apart anyway to make sure I was happy with how things were done.

Thanks. Are you familiar with "android kitchen" at all? I needed to use it but then found out that the Sprint GS4 variant is untested with it. Does anyone know if it works for the SPH-L720 or not?

I am but haven't used it in a long time. So I am not sure if it works or not on the S4.
Ya, Eclipse is good. I'm barely starting to dabble in development also with eclipse. I'm assuming you will be doing a TW ROM from the sound of it. Its fairly simple but very deep and has a lot of step by step walkthroughs to vet you started.

Any experience with Android Kitchen? I'm looking at tutorials that rely heavily on it. But if it doesn't support the S4 then I won't even bother.

Yea, I just cooked my first ROM in it to test out. Nothing fancy, just for jfltespr compatability.
My friend owns an samsung galaxy tab 4 t-230 and would love to upgrade it into a more pure android. Since i kind of got into android ROMs and there are no AOSP or CM roms for the tab 4 t-230 this would be a great chance for me to build a AOSP or CM rom. I have ubuntu 14.10 and a decent enough pc with 16 gb of ram and an i7. If anyone could help me abit of how to build a AOSP or CM rom for the device i would be verry thankfull.
----------------------Edit-----------------------
I wanted to say thank to you guys! I did quite some progress by now. If you own a t230 / nu then feel free to check out my custom kernel

Relevant post - some starting info, and check out the CM wiki he links to. Also, and this is a very basic step, but if you've never done this before it can be informative: download a rom zip file (preferably but not necessarily a stock-based kitkat rom for this device) and open it up in either 7zip or WinRar, check out the layout and structure, and familiarize yourself with the updater-script. (Actually you can do that with a firmware tar file too). Sorry I can't give you any more useful info, not a dev, definitely not a rom designer, just a guy who knows a fair amount of android stuff.
Also don't let the tone of that post discourage you; the poster was answering a guy who was basically asking about the feasibility of building a brand new rom for the sole purpose of being able to use one particular proprietary Samsung app. Yes it is difficult, but still doable, and you say you're motivated...
Yes i did forgot to say that any links for learning are appriciated
Well.. I would ask moonbutt74 for more info regarding commands and such, probably more info than I can give but.. keep in mind your going to have to download about 20+GB of source code and all that. Also a bunch more knowledge of more things I don't remember. But it is alot

Well I decided to revisit this thread. Never thought I would come so far. I really want to say thanks to all of you who supported me and still support me. Everyone has a beginning and here was mine. Now I am actually there where I really wanted to be. Releasing a custom kernel and finally work on a custom ROM! Thank you XDA!

I'm amazed on how much people learn and achieve as well as myself. I've seen people who were total newbies then later built custom recoveries, CM12, Mods, Roms etc. Anyway good luck on working your rom!

Also I thank you my life for introducing me to moonbutt74. He learned me everything from how to work with custom kernels to Roms. Sadly he decided to stop developing a few Werks ago but he's doing it for his own good. I still will mention @moonbutt74 on my future projects because he really is the one who changed me from confused to knowing what is actually going on. So thanks allot !
