Like the title says. Every now and then people are asking how to start cooking. Some do and others can't find all the needed ingredients. I start this thread for all of you that want to start and share knowledge about cooking.
I know some of the senior cooks will take a look every now and then and contribute.
Above all, have fun and enjoy the cooking!

When is class # 1? I have played around a little with the Samsung i780 and actually flashed a ROM dump but never went far enough to learn about xip, packages, and other things. So I will stay tuned.
That's what I need to know , and package compiling, and ui tweaks, and some other things.
Hello my dear fellow cooks. Everything to start is in place. To make it easy to start I added 3 pictorials to install the kitchen, extract and build your first rom and a tutorial on how to add an OEM package. Links to all necessary reading are in post #3. I also added a clean 1.19 WWE rom with OEM and SYS to make an easy start. It now is up to your imagination.
Wow, thanks ! Soon I will be a great chef!
Hi,
I'm not a senior chef, but if I may, I will give you my contribute!
Ready to learn

Here you are!!! it could be much easier for me to find this thread if you left me the link for the threads in your PM, anyway I found it accidently and not using the search option since I tryed it for hours but it didn't help a bit,
Anyhow thanks for opening a great helpful thread which I think it should be... sticky... sticky... sticky
After scrolling through the thread I still couldn't find answers to my questions. So here they are:
-From which folder do I need to delete the program folders that needed to be deleted? (SYS, OEM, or TEMP) Since some of them have duplicates.
-How about the registry do I need to edit anything after all or deleting the folders only would do the trick?
-What's the difference between using the buildos.exe and the buildos+package_tools-2.7 and what is the proper use for either of them?
-in some posts it mentioned that you can add a program by placing it's package to the "OEM or SYS" folder What's the difference if I put the packages in OEM folder rather than SYS folder? do i need to do any registry changes? If so then where?
-Do I need to use the buildos+package_tools-2.7 after all and along with placing the packages in the OEM or SYS folder?
Cleaning up the registry is quiete easy, too. Use an editor with a "search in files" functionality and use it in order to find the files containing your registry keys/values.

-Can you name me a good editor to use?
-What would be the best way to change in manila's, using the packages method or replace them directly from their location in the kitchen?
-The final and most delicate question is how can I integrate the registration info in a shareware program package?

Which duplicates do you have? Try to delete it from both .

The registry entries are stored in the rgu file, which can be found within the folder. So by deleting the folder you also delete the registry entries.

Personally I'm just using the "old" version, which is quite simple to deal with.

I think it depends on the software you are talking about. You have to find out where it stores the appropriate information and then have to include it. Figuring out where it stores the information could be time intensive. Dump the registry before the registration, dump it aftwards, and then compare it using WinDiff (for instance). Its included in the kitchen. Some software may also use the filesystem, so you have to modify and/or copy some files.

Tutorials, do we have any tutorials I can start reading to cook a ROM for HTC HD?
Is it easy or is something only the xda experts can do?
The HD Kitchen is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438456
Try reading up on the wiki about using the kitchens also.
Thanks
Dave
I have the kitchen on my now, however it´s a strange program for me, I would really need some kind of manual/tutorial

Have a look at Alex's KaiserKitchen tutorial (even play with it if you want) you'll get most of the idea from there (on the wiki here). The idea is a bit strange at first, but you get used to it. Some useful videos here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1968557
Thanks

i downloaded the file, but can`t open it. ned the .rar password?
yes. i hope somebody can post a detail tutorial for how to build a custom.

There are many tutorials for the other kitchens. A kitchen is a collection of tools. All the the tools in most kitchens are the same.
Check out the wiki and search the forum, the answers are there... (trust me I found them)

The password is in the readme file. You need the latest version of WinRar (or personally I prefer 7z), so just get it, and you will be able to look the password up.

There are so many out there already. They just weren't written for the HD kitchen, but basically it is the same idea. So just read through some tutorials and you will get it. I think a good starting point is this thread.
thanks for the info. i am a totally rookie at this. i just want to try to build a rom with apps in it. i will look into it.
I am going to create the fastest rom. Just tell me what you want in it i'll put in the best one for the job. It would be better if younguys just post the apk or the file u want in it

Are you building the google source from scratch, or modifying an existing ROM? I don't know how you're planning to make a ROM faster than IonR2, but I wish you luck.

if you are deleting what is not needed why would you ask someone elses opinion on what should be put into it. doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose.
Lol...dont u think cyans already doin his best to make his rom the fastest ?....but hey if u think deleting some files will make it faster...b my guest lol

the way i did the JACxROM 1.3 a while back was by grabbing a theme template by cyanogen and looking at what files it contained .. then I grabbed the rom and deleted all the files that werent necessary and voila you have a template

oh wow i completely forgot to mention that ... heres a generic one that should work for all themes ... so in your theme.zip you should have an app folder and a framework folder since those are the folders that the script will copy over
so when ever i take a rom apart and add/remove items it never works lol.
i use 7zip to extract/compress and fresh's pre kitchen for signing and making an update script.
i havent been able to figure out why its not work. the zips flash and dont change anything but the phone boots or flash and the phone doesnt boot.
i just wanted know of any newb freindly ways of modifying zips so i dont have to be stuck with things i dont want ect ect..
i would post this somewhere els but we dont really have a Q & A section..
Belongs in the General section.

1)DO NOT UNZIP anything(browse while zipped/edit while zipped)
2)Use autosign.bat or exe.
3)No offense Flipz,LEARN ADB FIRST(NO KITCHEN)
4)When youre done editing resign the rom.
5)Thats IT!!! GOOD LUCK
You can't sign ROM's with the Kitchen. Only themes. And learning ADB commands is cool.

Exactly! I didn't know how much the OP knew about apk manager so I didn't post instructions on how to theme the framework-res.apk to have a circle battery. But hey now the OP has two options
