Hello, i'm a web developer and have no experience in developing android roms. Anyways, i'm planning to develop a free website which will let any developer create an online kitchen for his rom, where users like me can come and bake rom according to their needs. Now as i don't have any experience with cooking roms, i would like a little help from the developers. Help i am seeking in is, what features a fully customizable kitchen has, how to change the update.zip for the changes, and adding applications to the zip. I have a little bit idea, but want a clear process.
you will get flamed for this

This really is an admirable goal, but you're attempting to bite & chew WAY more than your mouth can handle!!!
You're a web developer, good.
You have no experience in developing android roms, bad.
You want to develop a free kitchen, good.
You have no experience with cooking roms, bad.
You want developers to help you in exchange for a free kitchen for their rom, bad & good.
You don't know how to update the "update.zip" file and re-sign it, bad.
You don't know how to add an APK to the above mentioned "update.zip" file and re-sign it, bad.
You have a little bit of an idea, but want a clearer process, bad.
All of the above noted BAD points, have been discussed, referenced, and linked on these forums countless times shararti.
You really need to search, read, search some more, and apply what you've learned.
I too am a Web Developer/Designer. I've been in the business of creating websites since 1999 (off & on). And the above mentioned project it something I WON'T EVEN DARE ATTEMPT.
Good luck!
I did search, countless times, everywhere. But as lack of my experience with rom development, it was quite confusing. Well I do know signing and adding apk part, and the rest, i agree, i need some help. I'm willing to give my summer to this project and develop this kitchen for the xda community (i'm also willing to give it away to xda). Now if anyone is willing to help me, please pm me.
Actually, it isn't that difficult.
There are quite a few scripts and programs that you could simply employ on your website. I'm sure those developers wouldn't mind
You would have to tier your ROM baking based on the major ROM cores, and the features swappable between flavors of those cores.
It's simply letting the user choose what he wants in his base ROM, pushing the files into the zip, and running the script to sign them.
I'd be glad to guide you in the structure of ROMs, and showing you what can be mixed and matched.
PM me. We'll get started.
Sounds like a very cool idea and I wish you all the best and hope you find some programmers willing to teach you about roms, and you can do the web coding and make your idea a reality.
I'd use it for sure, would be wicked. Imagine going to this web page on your N1 customizing a ROM, building it and then flashing it. All without going near a computer. Sounds unreal!

XDA is such a huge resource, full of solutions, bricked devices and lost newbs LOL.
After trolling for a few months, I was ready to flash my first WinMo SmartPhone a few years ago. I haven't used a 'regular phone' ever since.
This would be an ideal summer project. As I said, I'm also a Web Developer.
Hit me up for some theme/template ideas. I do most of my work with Notepad++ and Adobe Fireworks CS4.

hhmm, never thought of that!
You're right ... sounds unreal!
Something the iFans would never be able to attain.
Even better, how about, instead of flashing some large file, only the ones affected by an update are flashed, resulting in a much SMALLER file (thus saving on data usage) and a FASTER flashing (saying on battery life).

Well it all depends on what you want. I would suggest you have a base rom without the boot.img stored with minimal capability in a folder. then allow the user to choose what type of kernel and capabilities they would like with it. That will be the minimum amount for a rom. Then you can follow it up with additions such as extra scripts and applications that can be added and moved to the appropriate directories. at the end, you would zip up the selection and sign it, with the appropriate update-script (which should be the same as the stock rom's unless the additions require something drastic)
So the folder tree should look something like this for one specific ROM:
ROM/ROM Core Files (this is the base rom without boot.img)
ROM/ROM Core Files/META-INF (this is for the update zip)
ROM/ROM Core Files/system (this is where the system apps go)
ROM/ROM Core Files/data (this is where certain apps go)
ROM/ROM Kernels (this is where kernels are/boot.img)
ROM/ROM Kernels/boot.img.1 etc
ROM/Modifications (this is where apps and other mods go)
ROM/Custom Build (this is where the baked rom should go)
Then all you need to figure out is how to move everything to the custom build directory
Move the core to custom directory and a boot.img (rename it from whatever it is to boot.img) and then move and modifications to the appropriate directory inside the custom build folder. Then zip the custom build folder and sign it
That should be about right. its 3 am here lol so i may be missing something. pm me if you need more help or post here
Exactly.
The great thing about it. The ROM core files can be optional. You can bake a kernel or you can bake CM w/ custom kernel and custom mods, i.e. modded phone.apk. You can bake anything and everything.
Mmm baking never sounded so good.

Ok so after reading it 3 times carefully, this is what i got to:
All roms have same common files, which are:
1. the META-INF folder.
2. the system folder.
3. the data folder.
This is a basic skeleton of any rom, and every rom has these exact files.
Now what i have to do is, when a user cooks a rom, i have to pick the required boot.img and put it into the basic skeleton, in addition to any apps/modifications user want. Then zip the whole package and sign it.
Is that it?
PS: you also said that i may need to change update-script, in what cases that would be required?
PPS: Do i have to make changes to some other files too? cause it sounds too easy to be true =p

They usually have the same folders, not files
the META-INF has the signature files but most importantly the update-script which tells the phone what to do when your flashing the update.

that SHOULD be it but remember that you may have to remove some apps from the core files of the rom such as amazon mp3 that people may not want, so you will have to see what apps can be removed and decide whether you want users to be able to remove it or not.
You MAY have to change the update-script if for example you want to put some things in the data partition and symlink them or change the data partition to include the ext partition instead of just for apps. Changes like that are usually for ROMs that are too big to fit properly on the nexus ( youll also have to check the size of the system and data folders to make sure they fit on the phone without modification)
Most of this stuff will be figured out in testing haha but ya at the very basicee its what you have here. You really have to know what you actually want users to be able to cook and then build the kitchen to that effect

So does that mean i can use same core for all custom baked roms? Except for the update-script, which in rare cases, may need to be altered.

I took a look at system folder and it's quite populated. Can you tell me what are the basic files that are common for all roms? For the rest of the files, i guess i'll give the user choice to include them or not.
Also can you tell me what is zipalign? Will that be required in baking process?
And to let everyone know, I have already started the working on the kitchen =]

Well it really depends on what ROM's your looking at. Some devs change the apps to their liking. For example, CyanogenMod has a modified Settings.apk that has features specific to his rom. However, all ROMs have Settings.apk. As such, you will probably have to have a Core ROM folder for each specific rom.
I would suggest looking at other online kitchens and see what features they offer, come up with a specific feature set and then decide what direction that you want to take.
zipalign is a compression technique that optimizes how .apk files are accessed in android. it makes things faster and is not required but would be nice to have. you lose the benefits if you open and modify any files from a zipaligned apk
Let's clear some things up here.
First, core files are not interchangeable between main roms but only flavors of those main roms.
As of now, we have 3 main roms for the nexus one.
CyanogenMod, Modaco Custom ROM, and Desire/Sense Roms.
Each of these roms have their own unique cores amd features and are not interchangeable.
There are flavors of each of these roms.
Flavors of CM has parts that are interchangeable with other flavors but use Cyans core.
Say there is one CM flavor that has some themieing and a few other changes you don't want. You can take the themed files and put them into your CM base and leave the rest out.
You can't put that themeing into a Modaco Custom ROM though.
Kernels I believe are the only things can be put into any ROM base. Most apps are as well.
Now that I look at it. Doing a Nexus One kitchen isn't that difficult but making a full featured HTC kitchen would be a mountainous task. There are so many mods, roms and themes to keep track of. We'd have to designate people from each device forum to feed us the ROMs and parts that are active and functional.
P. S. Lectures are over at 7 today. ill be able to crack down on it with you then
Kitchens are for the Food Network...
well thanks flybyme and APrinceAmongMen, these 2 posts really cleared up somethings. I'm in the process and will keep you guys updated.
QUESTION: how do i change the radio and boot animations in a rom?
PS: the good news is, i'm done with all the hard part, and just few small things remaining. Probably if anything else doesn't comes up, you guys should have a n1 kitchen within few days =D

boot animations are located either in /data/local or /system/media
radio flash will require you to change the update-script
you can look at the FRF50 update with the radio to figure it out ( or pm me if thats too difficult, its a little late else id do it myself)
Just make sure the radio is excluded by default.
Another thing about radios, the newest radio usually works on older roms, but old radios don't work on the roms released with and after the newest radio.
ROOT
DO IT YOURSELF
FOLLOW THIS VIDEO TUTORIAL by wagstuff13
Wanna make your own rooted software? It's quite simple, due to navossoc! Thanks for this guide and the tool.
[TOOL] Lg Extract Tool
Follow the guide, and first extract the kdz file into a cab file. Extract this cab file, then you ll get a v00y.wbd file and a LGP970.dll. 00 represents your SW version, e.g. 10 or 20 and y stands for a letter like B,N,...
So you e.g. get a file called v20N.wdb file.
Then again open the programm in cmd and extract the wdb file (see in the link above). Be sure it is in the same folder as the lgextract.exe file, or add the patch of the file. Copying it to the same folder is the easier solution
Now you ll get a new folder and in it a few bin files and one fls file.
First cd ti the new bin folder.
You need to add up all the files with this command:
copy /b "LGP970_AP
[*].bin" "LGP970_AP.bin"
Now you have a flashable bin and fls file for Smartflashtool.
If you wanna root it, you need Ubuntu or another linux distribution, which supports the dd command.
Then follow THIS
It's really easy, so dont ask for rooted software anymore, but make it on your own.
To flash and actually root the SW, you need to follow THIS guide, from Step 2 on, and it will be perfectly rooted and you can be sure, that noone patched anything else in your software, cause you made it on your own
Now you can link to this post directly, if anyone is asking for ANY rooted version
There already is an updated tool, which does the unpacking and injecting CWM automatically. I am sorry, but I dont have time, to update the post, so here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191
Here you can get every kdz firmware, you need: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
More more detailed information will be found here
Catching a logcat:
Whenever you QQ (cry) around because anything doesnt work, every dev can only guess, what s your problem. If you wanna provide the necessary information to him, give him a logcat and he will be happy and fix the bug you are getting.
Ricardo Cerqueira once posted this pic about this topic
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
So here is what you need to do, before you report the next bug/error to your dev.
1. Download QtADB from HERE (Find their HP here: http://qtadb.wordpress.com/)
2. Extract it to some place you wanna have it.
3. Now Open QtADB.exe
4. Connect your phone in debug mode
5. Click logcat on the left side (it's the last one)
6. Now Reproduce the problem, that you have, like force closes or other stuff.
7. Maybe reproduce it a second time
8. Push ctrl+A to mark all the lines
9. Right click it and choose, export selected to file
10. Save it to a place, where you can refind it.
11. Upload it somewhere (e.g. mediafire.com)
12. Post in the corresponding thread and give them a description of the error, so they know, what they need to look for and the link to the uploaded logcat.
This will improve a lot of ROMs around here, cause everyone uses it, but hardly anyone (including myself) can contribute to cooking/deving. So do us all the favour, that if you experiance an error and it's cause by the ROM and not a buggy installation, make a logcat and post it to the threads of the devs

This is going to be a big NOOB how to, since I read the same questions OVER AND OVER again! If anyone then asks a question, that is already answered here, just redirect them here and close/delete their thread.
I am sorry for not having updated this in a long time, but there is simply stuff, that seems more important to me, than Android
Important Terms:
NooB: My own definition: A person who is new to a subject and knows hardly anything about it. And since you read this, you seem to be one of them Since I am reading and thinking this in this moment, I am, too
CWM: Clock Work Mod (Recovery Menu)
SFT: Smartflashtool
B2C: Lg Mobile Update Tool
ADB: a command prompt, which is very power- and usefull. Instead, you can also use THIS(credits to achyut)
SoD: Screen of Death, which means, that your phone is frozen, and you can't do anything at all. Often combined, with a heating up, of the device.
su/SU: Can have two meanings, either the the Superuser rights, that permit programms/apps root privileges, or superuser binaries (a part of the Superuser app).
UV: Undervolting, which means setting a lower voltage to your CPU/GPU
--> Saves battery, may cause instability.
OC: Overclocking, means setting higher speed to your CPU/GPU
-->Higher speed, but mostly also higher battery drain, or instability.
Nandroid: A backup of the whole system, made with CWM, can be restored within minutes.
OTA: Over The Air, Update via Wifi/network, I suggest you not do use it.
FC: Force Close, error with apps, which forces them to be closed.
chmod: Set permissions to a file. E.g. make it read/writeable.
Lets start with ROMs/kernels:
ROM is practicly the whole Operating System of your android device. It includes all software needed, plus a kernel.
Then there are kernels, which mostly tweak some stuff, in order to save battery, provide more speed, provide stuff like OC(overlocking) and UV(undervolting).
A modified kernel is not a whole ROM! It only is additionally to a ROM, in order to tweak it
A kernel is the HEART of a ROM. (Thanks to gabwerkz) Also see here: Kernel

If you wonder what's the best ROM for you go to: Best ROM for Optimus Black
Or go here: Best ROM for Optimus Black
I gave some information to the ROMs here, and which MIGHT fit you best, just try them.
Root:
Why would u want it?
Cause this gives you something like admin privileges in windows.
This allows you to modify/add, delete,... files, that ususally are protected.
It also allows you to install ClockWorkMod, which in turn allows you to flash custom ROMs, which we all like so much, because of their smoothness, battery saving possibilities, OCing, UVing, and so on
ROOT ON Froyo (2.2.x, v10x)
For the v10x Versions (Froyo, Android 2.2.x), BlackJack should work in most cases, find it here:
[STARTER] Upgrade Kit 3.6 | Apps 1.9 | Root, Flash, Unbrick, Tuts...
Also find a CWM installer in this package, or download ROM Manager from android market and install CWM (ClockWorkMod) from there.
CWM gives you the possibility, to boot to a special kind of OS, that allows you to delete data, mount system, data,... And most important flash .zip files.
If a version cant be rooted by using Blackjack, try SOC (SuperOneClick).
If this still doesnt work, leave a comment, of your version and a link or description, of how to root it.
You also might wanna try UnlockRoot.
ROOT FOR Gingerbread (V20x, 2.3.x)
For v20x(GB, Android 2.3.x): ROOT V20x
see v20a UAE: ROOT v20a (made by myself, hope it works)
see v20S: ROOT v20sYou can download a pre-rooted V20s here. Follow the link HERE
If you still are unable to root it, discuss it here: [Q] How to root P970 Gingerbread V20N

If you already have ICS stock on your phone, there is a simply procedure, that will allow you to get CWM again, but you'll have to install a new ROM via Smartflashtool.
1. You need a V20 ROM, that has been patched with CWM, like THIS ONE.
2. You need Smartflashtool
3. Download Superuser.zip from here: http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip and put it on your SD card.
4. Unpack the V20S patched .7z file
5. Flash the .bin file using SFT
6. Your phone will reboot to recovery
7. Do a factory reset and if you wanna stick with a rooted v20S, just flash the superuser.zip and reboot. If you already want to install a custom ROM, just put that on your sd card and flash it (see how to install a custom ROM).
8. Reboot and enjoy your new ROM
The UNROOT
If you wanna unroot your device, why so ever, the easiest way is to use Unlock Root (Link above) open it, connect your phone via USB, enable Debugging Mode and click unroot. If you wanna unroot it, e.g. to be able to send it back to LG on warranty, better use the method below, to unbrick your device with R&D tool.
Because like this, you will get back an unrooted device, which has also been hardresetted. So LG will hardly/never get a clue, that it has ever been rooted.
Dont forget to format your SD card as well
How to install Custom ROM's
First of all, you need a rooted phone already. See above, how to do it
Then you need to install CWM (Clock Work Mod), you can do this e.g. by downloading ROM Manager, install it, open it
and find Install Clockwork Mod Recovery. Hit it, wait some seconds and click LGE optimus Black. Wait again, till the file has been downloaded and installed and your all set Now you can reboot into Recovery, with the second option. It says, what it does: Reboot to recovery
Now grab the ROM you desire the most and download the zip. Plug your phone to the PC (via USB) open up the folder of your SD card, and copy the file you downloaded in there. Dont copy it into a subfolder, since it will only be harder to find.
Now go back to ROM Manager and click reboot recovery, or if you have adb installed, just type reboot recovery in a terminal on your pc.
You are in recovery menu now.
First of all do a nandroid backup (explained on top). To do so, go to Backup and Restore, then Backup and wait.
It will now make a complete backup of the whole system, settings, and so on.
If something goes wrong during the installation of the new ROM, you can simply revert back to the state you had before.
Your ready to install the new ROM now.
Now it depends, on if you only update a ROM, like CM, or if you install a completely new ROM.
If you install a new ROM, do a full wipe. This means, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, go to advanced, wipe dalvik, wipe battery stats and go back. now select install zip from SD card. Then choose zip from sdcard and then select the file you downloaded.
Wait till all is set up and enjoy your new ROM
If you only update a ROM, follow the instructions given in the thread about the ROM.
What to do if the Update failed?
Well it depends on how much you failed, what u had installed before and if Huexxx Recovery fix was applied.
First scenario:
Huexxx's patch was applied in the ROM before.
This enables to boot to recovery by repeatedly pushing a hard key, like volume- or g-key directly after you start the phone.
Push em fast, while the softkeys are flashing(turn on and off). As soon as they stop flashing, you will be in recovery and can either restore a backup, or install another zip file.
Second scenario:
CWM is still enterable via adb.
You first of all need to download and "install" ADB.
Best will be, to simply extract the files to C: and also rename the new folder to a short term like "ADB" without "".
Then open the command prompt, navigate to the folder of adb: e.g.
Code:
C:
cd ADB
cd adb
Now you should be in the adb folder, where you can find adb.exe and some other files.
If not, check out, how it is called and navigate there in another way.
"cd" means change directory, so if you didnt rename it to ADB, but e.g. ADB-sdk, type cd ADB-sdk instead.
Ok, now simply type adb reboot recovery and wait.
Now your phone should restart to Recovery Mode.
But watch out, if you do this with a working ROM, and forgot to install CWM, you will get a factory reset!
Third scenario:
None of the above worked. Then you have no chance, but to to use the unbricking method below. Then root your device, install CWM and you can have a new try
Unbricking:
Your Phone doesnt boot anmore or only shows the LG screen contantly!
If your phone is stuck in bootloop, have a look in here: SMARTFLASHTOOL
You can download the patched V20s from ABOVE or take the v10a from here
Flash with R&D Tool:
The upper is the easier and faster solution, but if you really need R&D Testtool, because Smartflash didnt help, grab R&D tool HERE(it's in the package), and then follow THIS guide
You can also use the latter method, if you wanna return your phone on warranty. But I would make a Factory reset afterwards anyway. And don't forget to remove all files from your SD card as well, since this could show them as well, that the phone might have been rooted.
Themes And Apps
Themes are modifications to the look of your UI (UserInterface). This gives your Operating System a different Look.
There are a lot of things, you need to pay attention to.
For example there are ODEXED = easier on space, tougher on tweaking and ram usage (just a short explanation)
and Deodexed = easier to tweak, lighter on ram, heavier on space
Find more information on this HERE
Now you need to know, if your ROM is odexed, or deodexed. You mostly find information on this directly in the thread of the ROM you are using (see above).
If you know what kind of ROM you are using, go to the Themes link above and choose whatever you like. There is almost always written, for which specific ROM this was made (e.g. Zeus ROM, Stock GB, stock Froyo,...) And mostly, if you need a odexed or deodexed Version of a ROM, or not.
It's pretty much like odexed files also work on deodexed Software, but not the other way around. (NOT ALWAYS)
Then you encounter bugs like missing statusbar, display bugs, glitches, ...
So check if the theme you are willing to try will REALLY work for your device.
If you wanna make your own Themes, check out UOT KITCHEN Or these two threads: HERE AND HERE Credits to gabwerkz and Huexxx.

Can you tell me, why anyone with a rooted phone would want it? I mean, sending it back to the provider for repair or similar is a reason, I can understand, but what are other reasons? Idk if it's enough to flash it with smartflash and afterward go to hidden menu and do a factory reset, but I guess this should work fine
Any suggestions on this? Or maybe the R&D tool and workaround?
This is not a Q&A thread

The means to unroot isn't in the first post, and the OP is discussing this issue with him so - don't post unnecessary chides, it is a legitimate question, posted before I warned that this isn't a Q&A thread. Hopefully the answer will be included in the OP, as it is something that will be asked - over and over again .

You have helped me out quite a few times earlier and now I thank you for the "real thing": being generous enough to go through the trouble of making things easier to everyone else. That takes patience and a really good deal of generosity. And maturity above everything else.
When I began working with IT by 1981 I was nice to my peers. Then I became more and more technical and efficient at my job, and harder and harder at my peers and everyone else.
In return (despite all my capacity) I only drew drawbacks. My career sank. I had to start it all over again, with a different drive. ;-)
Today IT is just a hobby, and it's encouraging to see that at least a few of the most gifted people are showing that gift and contempt are not always bound to each other! :-D
Attitudes like yours, although they don't warrant you (1) a $300K/Y job, they DO warrant you (2) a very, very nice feeling that is hard to describe (albeit I suspect that you already know it) and (3) raise the suspicion that there's really a God and that (4) we are really above the rest of the animal kinds. I hope you get all four.
Congratulations and just forgive me for the last kitsch words

Thank you very much, for such an encouraging post I like and appreciate it very much. But there is one thing, that I can't stop wondering about, how could I help you out already? I mean you should probably know more bout IT and programming and stuff than me... Just curious Anyway, I like to help ppl out a lot. I also do this in real life a lot, but the problem is, that a lot of ppl dont pay you back at all. Just using one's knowledge/money/whatever and not giving back anything, or even ignoring advices and stuff is something I hate the most! Just like some of the Noobs here. I have nothing against questions and there never will be a stupid one, so dont stop asking, it is an important part in life. But I hate the ignorant noobs, that dont even try to use the search, dont look around in the forum, are simply too lazy, to look around but simply create their own threads, with questions, or information, that can already be found here. And mostly you can't only find it once, but already several times, because of them.
So dont stop asking, but use search first, pls... I'm also still a noob, so I also gotta ask a lot of questions, and this will never stop, until I either throw away all the IT around me, a solar storm makes it impossible for us to use any kind of IT, or I am dead
So to all the others here, share your knowledge with the ones, who also would like to have it. I also know, that it is time consuming, but trust me, giving, will mostly/always be warranted in any way later. I believe in karma and who gives good, will receive good. So maybe one day, when you dont have time/dont wanna mod anymore, but still wanna use good modded software, you need someone else to do it for you and who could do this better, but a person, that learned from you? So I never will stop supporting this community as long, as I got some time.
And I also know, I was writing a lot now and better stop now
Just one last thing, keep me posted, if we need some information added, so it can be found more easily, as long as it can be explained in a way, even I will understand

It depends on the time frame.
I know a lot of old-school stuff that is still valid, but when it comes to Android I'm a complete moron. Got my OB by Oct 2011 and I'm still trying to leave the craddle. BTW this OB is my first SP, and I wanted to take the most out of it.
Yes I need help, and XDA is BY FAR the best Android site I've seen in the net.

For some time I used to post frequently at ABXZone (used to be a more populated community) under the same nickname and believed EXACTLY the same thing. I don't post so often these days, since my kids keep me busy enough. But as I said, when it comes to Android phones I'm still a complete moron, so in some way I'm being paid back here for that I did there.

dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now for Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300
Compatible with Windows (Cygwin) / Linux / Mac OS X
The following is a guide to assist you with creating your own Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300(T) custom ROMs with the kitchen. This is NOT a guide to help you become Cyanogen or do fancy things with AOSP, but it may be your springboard to bigger things in the future.
Some of you already know about the Android Kitchen. It is a project I started on back in February 2010 to help newbies create their own custom ROMs and learn more about Android. As of the latest versions, you can now create your own Galaxy S3 I9300 ROMs with the kitchen.
NOTE: This guide may also work for other Samsung devices. So if you were told to come here and you have a different device, it was not an error - just make sure you use a base ROM from your own device, not from the I9300! For all other Galaxy S3 variants, this guide might not be exactly the one you're looking for. There may be support for your S3 device in the kitchen, but I'd need to post different instructions. Check the first post of the kitchen thread for any updates for linked instructions.
I'd like to thank klander for testing and providing feedback, which is always appreciated!
[MAIN PAGE] [RELEASE NOTES] [FAQ - page 1] [FAQ - page 2]
PROCEDURE FOR MAKING YOUR ROM:
NOTE: If you have a non-I9300 device and were told to follow these instructions, then use a base ROM from that device, NOT a ROM meant for the I9300!! The same steps below, however, (and common sense) should be used.
First, you need a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 with a custom recovery menu, which allows flashing of custom ROMs.
Visit the Android Kitchen thread to download the kitchen. Then, follow the link to the FAQ which will show you how to install it on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. Ensure you read the FAQ carefully.
Put one or more of your base ROM(s) under the original_update folder. For the Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300, there is support for the following formats (that I know of) which can be placed in that folder:
Stock firmware:
system.img, boot.img, cache.img (and optionally: modem.bin)
TAR/ZIP file containing the above. NOTE: If the TAR file name ends with "MD5", remove the MD5 part from the name.
OR Custom ROM:
must be a ZIP file created by the kitchen from the stock firmware (NOTE: The kitchen may NOT support custom ROMs created through other methods such as CyanogenMod, due to potential file structure incompatibility issues)
OR Nandroid backup from custom recovery image:
system.img, cache.img and boot.img
system.ext4.tar, cache.ext4.tar and boot.img
Here are some basic steps to creating your first ROM after you have your base of files under original_update (more options are available in the kitchen):
Start the kitchen with: ./menu
Create a working folder (by choosing your base ROM)
Root your ROM
Add Busybox
Optional: Disable boot sounds
Optional: In the Advanced options menu: De-odex your ROM (your mileage may vary as to whether this works 100%)
Optional: Add or remove the modem.bin from your working folder
Build ROM
The ROM is built into a ZIP file meant for flashing from the custom recovery menu. No Odin. Make a Nandroid backup of your current system before you flash anything!
Some notes:
Just select the defaults whenever you are asked about something in the kitchen and are unsure whether to type 'y' or 'n'.
There are lots of questions answered in the FAQ in Posts 3 and 4 of the main Android Kitchen thread. So please go through that first if you have any issues.
For the benefit of other readers and to prevent confusion, please only discuss the Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 in this thread!
Most of all, have patience, take your time and enjoy!!
just what i need
I have a de-bloat script if you want a copy to convert to a kitchen script. It's perl calling system values and the kitchen.
Are we still meant to be extracting the img files manually to get them working?

I'm not doing additional work, but if you'd like you could make a plugin for the kitchen, which would go under the /scripts/plugins folder and can be accessed from the Advanced menu of the kitchen. I can advertise it in the kitchen thread (in the plugins section) as a separate download under your name.

With Cygwin the kitchen will give you instructions on which program to open and how to use it (manually). The programs are found in the kitchen.
With Linux/Mac, it is all automated and very quick.
Just when I thought this kitchen was a goner, you came along and made it work again
I have just put the French zip into the kitchen and it fails to extract the img files.
Available ROMs:
(1) I9300XXDLIH_I9300VFGDLJ1_SFR.zip
Enter selection number (default=1, cancel=0, r=refresh):
Selected I9300XXDLIH_I9300VFGDLJ1_SFR.zip
The new working folder will be named WORKING_101712_171605
Change the name (y/n)? (default: n):

It works after manually extracting so no big deal

If the zip contains a tar file then it's not going to work, you need to unzip the tar file.

just wanted to let u know that when cooking my rom with ur kitchen, awesome by the way, i was getting constant hang at logo on boot. i went back to the beginning as it worked and booted and just added bit by bit until i found the issue. the issue was adding busybox install run parts. it took me a day to figure this out. i went through kernel to framework and nothing fixed this issue where booting just to logo then stuck. finally deleted working folder, went back to a basic rom, slowly added root, then busybox, deodex etc. i dont know if this issue is specific to just me and my particular build but just putting it out there for others wanting to use this excellent kitchen on their i9305.

Did you create a /system/etc/init.d folder with your custom scripts after enabling the Busybox Run-parts? That option is quite old but I have not seen anyone try or test it with any of the Galaxies. Maybe when you have time next time, do a logcat while it boots and see what the problem is (assuming you had the init.d folder created already). Thanks

yea i created the init.d folder first, (using v29 so it gives u warning anyways), but it still does this. i have to add init.d support manually through my script. but this is awesome, i just gotta remember not to use that feature.. i did both logcat and recovery logs but couldnt make heads or tails of it. it was easier to go back through ur kitchen, add 1 feature at a time until i found the culprit. thanks heaps
