Hey there,
I've just been getting into ROM development and have a Sprint Samsung GNEX (toroplus) and a Google Nexus 7 (grouper). I made an AOSP build of 4.1.1 for my N7 and was using dsixda's ROM Kitchen to add root functionality, busybox, and to change the name of the ROM. I keep getting a "Status 6" error when trying to flash the ROM after building it.
I looked in the FAQ section of the thread and saw that it had to do with incorrect formatting due to using the wrong text editor, but the thing is that I haven't touched Windows while building this, it's all been on Linux.
So after flashing it, I used the "Report Error" function and check the recovery log, looks like there are some syntax errors. Could anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Of course, the first thread I make has a typo in the Title. Wow. Can a moderator fix the typo in the title? Thanks!
Just click on edit then advanced and edit the title.
Personally I would suggest just building with those features from source.

So don't use dsixda's kitchen at all? And sorry, how do you compile from source with root functionality and busybox?
Anybody? I'm a little new to this stuff and am looking for some help, I was hoping this was the right place...

You are using an aosp rom. There shouldn't be any reason you need the android kitchen. Go to github.com/cyanogenmod/android_build read the commit history. Should give you some insight with building a better busy box and root. Look up the system su from cyanogenmod ect ect.

Hi guys,
Over at the HTC Hero forum I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM. Recently, I purchased a Nexus One, and so I was able to port this kitchen so that it can now successfully create a rooted Nexus One custom ROM.
The kitchen works for the Nexus One but is still found at the HTC Hero Android Development subforum, so I'll probably get someone to move it to a common forum eventually:

Enjoy!
WOW, thanks, cant wait to try

No problem, I'm trying to get Wi-fi tethering working as well, as the Nexus One requires some additional steps to get it to work. I asked in the Wireless Tether thread.. maybe someone knows?
I'm going to check this out, may be just what I needed
Wow thanks a lot, very kind of you to do this! Setting up now
Ok, I have now updated the kitchen to version 0.20, so that Nexus One owners can now cook in the Wireless Tether. As you might know already, for the Nexus One the wireless tethering app requires a kernel modification (which is kind of complicated for the Average Joe), so the kitchen does all that for you automatically. I just used the modified kernel that is provided in the Wireless Tether project page.
ROM ROM ROM ya boot..
Works really well, although it might be better (under OSX) to make the disk bigger than 500mb.
I found the simplest way to use the soylatte java was to extract it, put it on my Kitchen disk and then simply modify the menu by adding
Code:
PATH=/Volumes/Kitchen/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/bin/:$PATH
at the top. Saves screwing up any other java dev work going on
Tested it with a Nexus One Cyanogen rom, works nicely for stripping out stuff I don't want and adding what I do.
Good Job. Thanks!

worked nicely for me too. set up a virtual machine on my macbook and loaded latest ubuntu plus jdk. ...changed splash ...stripped an apk ...added in motoapps for exchange calendar ...added a wifi tether direct instead of tool ...dropped in a few extra media sound files. the output zip flashed no problem and all tweaks (through very-very minor) working.
it would be appreciated if any more resource links exist other than those already in first post of thread. i'd like to learn more
yeah,this thing works(on mac).
but i wish we have a tutorial to cook a rom,(kernel).

There are about four tutorials linked on the first post of that thread, if that's what you mean.

Tweak stuff, if it breaks tweak it back and reflash
That's how I find out what works and what doesn't... trial and error.

I don't think the Nexus One has the storage capacity to flash a Desire ROM - has been mentioned in this forum in some threads. You have to take stuff out to save space.
Menu for build.prop? I'm as much of a noob as you.
Hope I've posted in the correct section
Hi guys,
How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.
I'm using a Nexus One btw.
So, could any assist me?
Thanks,
redbullcat
I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.
Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.
Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.

You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

I've used it before, just for deodexing and zipaligning. The other features are supposedly meant for HTC roms only. But for some reason I get errors with busybox symlinks and the way terminal is set up using the kitchen so I don't use it to cook my rom.

That's true. I only use that for the basic things and for packaging the whole thing into zip. As for busybox, I use busybox's --install option and it will generate all the symbolic links automatically.

Hello, I have a few questions concerning the Polaroid PMID4311 (a cheapo 4.3 inch allwinner CPU device running 4.0 my little brother picked up). Fist off let me say I am no noob at android, and have had much experience modding my galaxy player. The problem is he wants to play some Gameloft games (nova 2, asphalt 6), but of course they give infamous "this device is not compatible request a refund" message. So no biggie, I just change the model in build.prop, right? Now here is the mystery; it doesn't make any difference what I change the model to - it still gives the error and still shows the original model under "about device" in system settings. I have done this countless times on other devices with no problem. I have checked the default.prop, and the boot image is insecure (ro.secure=0). The device came rooted. Any thoughts? Also, if anyone has this device, I seem to have lost my backup of the original build.prop, and would appreciate a copy. Thank you!

I use notepad++ on windows, but have also edited it on the device using root explorer. I know this isn't the issue since certain properties will work if I change them (example: I can change the firmware version from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2).

Dude, I'm not an idiot! I have been telling you I have already done this multiple times. I know perfectly well how to edit a build.prop, but what I am saying it's it seems to have no effect on this device for some reason. I really don't need to figure it out anymore since I just edited the apks to remove the compatibly check.

Sorry was more stupid back then get root explorer and edit it once you have done so reboot. If that doesn't work maybe what you are trying to do on there doesn't work look at the experience in my eyes

What kind of help are you looking for? Do you want suggestions on what to add? Are stuck on how to add a particular feature to your ROM? One thing you could try is compiling AOSP and using that as the base for your ROM a great guide on doing that can be found here and here (Official Google guide to building AOSP). I'll be happy to help you out best I can so let me know if you still have questions.

Glad you were able to fix that, my main suggestion would be to modify only one part of your ROM at time (Just like a science experiment) that way you know that if it doesn't work it's very likely because of the modification you just made. Also logcat will be a big help to help you figure out where things are causing problems and what things are causing problems.

Also make sure in your ROM's updater-script the system apps you have added are given the proper file permissions.
