==ROM CooKer
I made a simple ROM Cooker in my Free Time, With this tool u can make a Recovery flashable ROM easily.
At this stage, everyone knows about Galaxy 3 system structure, so one can easily add or remove stuffs and make own ROM.
Try it, its only ~555 Kb
This Cooker is only for custome kernel with inbuilt recovery.
Before flashing Coocked ROM made by this cooker, must formate the system partition via recovery.
If u dont formate the system partition then instead of installing a fresh rom this will overwrite your previous ROM
After Flashing, must wipe cache and dalvik-cache directely from recovery
==Update ROM
( This Tool is only for Custome Kernels)
* U can Change File System (G3MOD, Astrum, KyoraKernel, FuguMOD)
* U can Update Theme
* U can Push App/lib
* U can Make factoryfs.rfs of ROM for Odin flash (Make .tar with Total Commander)
* U can Make Recovery Flashable Update.zip
How to use ROM cooker > Follow the onscreen instructions
Thanks to apollo5801 for his awesome zip creater
Lol! Free Time with capital letters :-D
Tnx anyway.
Hi, it's not working for me...

I can copy rom on pc but while creating rom from it, it says,
No command is given or something like that

No specific tool requirements, don't know what is the problem, do again, don't delete any file from package.
When I'm trying to make rom
(option 3)
After compressing files, it says,
Everything is ok
'java' is not recognized advanced internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Now what to do?
You have to link you java path in your system settings (Environment Variables, sry dont know how is named on others languages ^^')

It will create factoryfs.rfs of rom but you have to make .tar with total commander for odin flash.

Today I went to computer center and tested.
Finally,I got a full working custom rom.
Note:Now,I don't have computer at home.
My dad shifted the computer to his room(another house) due to my final year exam.
Now explaining all these steps with my remembered things at center.
Sorry,I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong.
Synopsis:
1.Making a Kitchen
2.Create a Stock Base Rom
3.Making Custom Rom
4.Finished
1.Making a Kitchen:
Code:
You must install a Kitchen properly.
To do,
Download a dsixda kitchen from Chef Central Forum.
Install it properly according to that post.
Short synopsis for windows:
1.Download all necessary things.
2.Install Java.
3.Then install cygwin.
4.Copy the kitchen to home folder.
Now your kitchen ready.
Test the kitchen by running it.
Type ''./menu'' in cygwin
It will show Main Menu.
Don't go to next step until you prepare Kitchen.
2.Create a Stock Base Rom:
Code:
From this stock base rom we can made a custom rom.
First reinstall a Android 2.1.
Then root it.
Install a XRecovery.
Then backup it.
Now you will get system.img in backup folder.
Then copy the system.img to your kitchen folder "original_update"
In new version of kitchen you don't have to create fake file.Skip next step.It will automatically created.
Make a fake file called "boot.img"(empty file).
Now Run a kitchen by typing in the cygwin
./menu
You will get a main menu.(if you installed properly)
Choose option 1 and press enter.
Again press Enter.(now your system.img will extract)
It will take above 5min to extract.
At last you will get a question asking ''you want see the rom details'' for that press n(No). Bcoz we don't have boot.img.
Then it return to main menu.
Now minimise the cygwin.
Then you will get working folder in your kitchen.
Stock base rom created successfully.
Backup this base rom.
It will useful for future Re-use.
3.Making custom rom
From Stock base rom modifiy what you want in your system folder like removing unwanted apps,add new theme,root option,etc...
4.Making update.zip
Maximise the cygwin and choose option 99.
Your rom will be created and signed in output_zip folder.
Installing Rom using Xrecovery.
1.Copy the zip to sdcard(rename it to update.zip)
2.Go to Xrecovery.
3.Factory reset(Full Wipe)
4.Then install update.zip
Hope this you can understand and work.
All the best.

ill wait for your working rom.. suddenly i got excited
I wonder what is the difference betwen this custom rom and those you get backing up your rom?? I understood that you need a rom to modify apps in /system...
Please explain the differnce.
We can't take system directly from the device.
So from backuping we can get system.
Then modify what you want in the system like removing unwanted apps,adding new theme,etc....

typo error on the first part making the kitchen in checking the menu of kitchen instead of "/.menu" type or use "./menu"..
Sorry,I made mistake.
It should "./menu".

can i skip this step here? can i use my old rom just want to add/edit something..??
First time we want system.
Then we can use the previous one.
Now you can skip those steps.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Ok, i've got to step with removing apps... Problem is, that i have App2SD and those apps which are stored at card are not there (in working folder). Therefore it seems that if i will give that update.zip to someone, he will be missing some apps won't he? Or are they somewhere and i am just blind?
question on system.img
could i use a system.img file converted from system.sin decrypted from update files for this tutorial?
And,comes another guide from me.... I was actually extracting a stock firmware and this came into my mind
Ok,I made this guide since the process of extracting firmware is a bit confusing sometimes.So,lets start with it
What you would need:
1.7zip or any other zip utility
2.Stock Firmware
3.MagicISO
4.Nothing else
Tutorial:
1.Start off by downloading a stock firmware,for this guide,we assume its DDKQ8
2.You will get 2 files, S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll
3.Ignore the second file,we only need the first file which has an extension of .md5
4.Now its not possible to extract the file with the current extension.
5.So,rename the file S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar.md5 to S5830DDKQ8_<bla bla>.tar
6.Now,the file is extractable,so extract it.
7.You will get approx. 9 files: arm11 boot,amss,csc.rfs and various others.
8.Delete all the files except boot.img and system.rfs.These are the only files we need.
9.Now,using MagicISO,open up system.rfs and extract it.
10.Make a new folder named Rom_working
11.Now,move the boot.img there
12.Make a folder called system
13.Move all contents of system.rfs to this this folder.
14.Now all you need is a META-INF folder to complete the rom.(Unless you messed up)
Thats it! Pretty easy huh,this is something really basic,but a few people get confused on extracting it anyway.Its just meant to be a basic guides for those people.If you want to get more info on making a rom,refer this guide which i wrote a few months ago.Hope this helped you guys out.
NOTE: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone or w/e happens to it.Btw,<bla bla> stands for the rest of the filename
thanks for that,, i was woundering how it was done,, i ended up using a nandroid backup with kitchen to make my own lol
How can I root the rom??

Where do we get a META-INF folder?
Do we use CWM recovery to restore with the new folder?

Make one yourself,refer other stock roms for the path,then get the update binaries and script from BlackHawk (if stock ONLY).

Hey guys,
do you know how i can directly reboot into recovery and flash a .zip file via script for terminal emulator?
I think you know the ROMManager, you can download updates there, it automatically reboots into recovery and flashes without asking the .zip file, how can i realize that via script for the terminal emulator? cuz i want to create a updater for my and my friends roms
Is there any way to realize that?
Thanks,

as u said the rom manager contains the feature u want to use on the terminal for the roms want to use.
check out the rom manager apk with the apk tool
u might find a hint in there (a script or something) because i guess something like that has to be there
Did it work?

Did you try opening the file as virtual disk? You can mount it via daemon tools or via power iso, an application named OSFMount can mount it like a flash drive, ie you can perform both read and write operation. By the way all of the above mentioned apps are for Windows.

Hi.. Can somebody tell me if there is a way to convert flashable zip files to Odin tar.md5 files !!!!
I hav searched and read some related threads but none of them gave a conclusive answer for the question. Some explained how to convert .img files to tar files & some explained creating tar files by using 7zip (actually 7zip only create a file with .tar extension) but my question is how to convert zip files which don't have image files like for example if i wanted to flash some apps ported from other devices (camera, gallery, keyboard etc...) and i don't want to flash them through Recovery (I don't hav one) then HOW???
Technically speaking, you'd need to create an image of the partition containing content from your .zip folder (with proper permissions and stuff created by updater-script) and then you should pack it as system.img into .tar.md5 file.
The questions is WHY you want to do this, it's NOT common and there's absolutely no point in doing that.
Question is why no recovery

I don't want to install a Recovery as it increases Binary count every time v boot the device. I personally don't like to increase my count. Every time i enter into Recovery to flash a zip file it will trigger the count. I know Triangle away can make the count zero but then i have to use it every time after using Recovery & I don't want to go through all that hassle.
Why i don't like an increase in count.... It's more like OCD
So, is there any easy n simple method to convert files !!! Am not much of a Android student. It's like am at Kindergarten level at Android University
