[Q]Kitchen SIII/S3 ROM

Hi
I am trying to use dsixda's kitchen (v196).
It cannot process the tar of the ROM itself.
I have to extract the contents of the tar and use those bin files as the "Original Update".
In that case it progresses quite a bit.
I managed to deodex overcoming some errors that others have found as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27758343
But the final thing is missing zImage and modem.bin and who knows what else.
Is there a fix to allow the kitchen to use the tar itself?
Or anybody know what to do in addition to the above?
Thanks

just give me the updater script. file
here it is thanks
There is no mount and unmout cmd's in the script..
Well iam on phone now...
Simple solution for u is to use any any existing mod's meta-inf folder in ur mod.

Have a look at a working updater-script and you will see a huge difference
For example you need a command like
Code:
extract_dir
More set perms and mounting/unmounting system. Please check out a "real" updater-script :good:

Try download some flashable zips and view updater scripts with notepad++
This is the best way to understand how it works.
If I have some time I write a little guide

delete extension
but the best way is open one of the updater-script (download any flashable zip) and edit with notepad++
(be sure you edit with notepad++ othervise you will see status6 error when flashing)

You should get permission from the dev first before trying to implement anything.

Make sure to get permission from Zep and if you post the rom with his tweak,make sure to link to his original post and post thanks for letting you use it.
No need to pm me just the let users know its supercharged and with a link.
Newest versions (currently code named black dog) will have all the files on the sdcard with proper folder structure for easy baking.

Zep. Thank you for this. I was looking into how to bake it in the ROM.
This is not directed at the OP. CREDIT is the only payment these guys ask for in return for their hardwork, BE GENEROUS. Just my way of saying thanks.

How to build custom rom as system.img file (not .zip) ?

[SOLVED]
Is there a tool/tutorial which explain how to build a custom rom in the form of .img file (system.img) and not zip file for phone which don't have custom recovery ?
I saw a lot of kitchen which build zip but not a single one which build .img file with proper permission/ownership/selinux label.
The same for tutorial...
Thanks.
[SOLVED]
I see... when it's about zip file for kiddo on samsung phone, there is people.
When it's about real stuff, there is nobody anymore.

ext2simg may be usefull or not according the implementation of ext4 in android... --> Test needed.
Before flashing, make a dump file [dd] of current fs and convert it with ext2simg. Flash it back with fastboot if things go wrong. [Tested]
Udate
I was able to flash a personnal remix os custom rom, rooted with init.d support [the init.rc hook] and busybox preinstalled [but need to be finaized in android].
ext2simg is a necessity since fastboot doesn't support native ext4 format.
