Hello guys and gals. I was wondering what kitchen the developers for this device are using. I have searched around using Google and was not able to find a kitchen that supports our device. I would prefer a Windows kitchen but if that is not possible I am running Linux Mint 12 64bit on my other partition. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You probably wont find one tool for our device....yet. I use several different ones for different things. Depends on what you need to do. Here's a short list of the tools I use off the top of my head.
xUltimate (Windows) For de-odexing
APK Manager
APK Tool
dsixda's Android kitchen (in Linux) (Mainly for splitting boot.img)
7-zip
Notepad++
And of course the Android SDK.
try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
it is not supported but if you are ok with python you can update the tools you need and make it work. It does work out of the box for simple stuff
Thanks everyone. I'll take a look at them all

Yes, Kitchen works great for deodexing, zipaligning and signing Roms, but doesn't create correct updater scripts for me.
I use x ultimate to deodex.
Here are guides I found helpful when I wanted to cook it myself

PS
If cp command does not work use busybox cp to replace odex files.
Deodexing and zipaligning is not development may be I'll share my rom when I learn more

But it worked for me.Did you change to edify after doing chances in the kitchen?
I almost forgot the options because I fully switched to manual thing because Its good for starter but not for persons who need to become a pro
Hello,
I like to cook a ROM, but I have the knowledge necessary to do so. I'm told to make a ROM I have to have Linux. Do not you know you can do in Windows XP? Since it is the OS I use.
Is there a tutorial that you can leave me? Really appreciate it. If nothing happens in English, or English or Spanish.
Does anyone like me started? Asking and got that and then cook a ROM. I would like to cook a ROM because I have several days behind it.
Greetings!

Its easy to cook a ROM:
1.Download a ROM, any ROM.
2.Then prepare a pan for cooking.
3.Add some oil to the pan(not so much).
4.Put the ROM in the pan and wait three minutes.
5.Flip the ROM and wait other 2 minutes.
6.Serve the ROM with a salad and a dip like a theme.
7.Enjoy!!!!!

Welcome to the forums. It's always great to have someone trying to learn.
SO, to be clear there are two things about making custom rom. EIther you mod or edit somebody's else custom rom by changing themes, adding tweaks and scripts and changing apps. You can do this easily with teh help of android kitchen. Find more about it at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android Kitchen
And to make a rom with source you need more than just wish. You need to have knowledge of programming as well as you need to be able to use Linux to download (sync the repo) the source and then edit it. A lots of terminal commands to learn and source of 6+ GB to download and then edit the Java, Android xml and C source code to your preference then debug it and test and do many more. While you can also sync repo in windows using git bash Linux is recommended for compatibility and easiness. You can find instructions on syncing a repo and then building the rom at source.android.com
So, you have to decide which one you will take. First one is simple and second one takes a lot of research, knowledge and programming skills.
Good Luck! And have a nice time while at xda. I will be glad to help to the extent I can. You can find me on my site or at my facebook page in signature.

Thank you very much for all your comments.
In particular you yagya.
First of all I have no Linux, so I'm going to easy. I do not want a ROM from zero, apart from that I have the necessary knowledge.
For example, do a ROM-based CyanogenMod 7.2. But adding my stuff. What I need is to know how to add things.
Thank you very much yagya.

You could try WUBI, it'll install Ubuntu Linux on top of Windows without the need to repartition your drive, after installation you just reboot and you get to choose whether to start windows or ubuntu.
If you don't like it you can just uninstall it like you would any application in windows so it's easy enough to remove it if you don't like it.
For changing/adding to a ROM just go to the link yagya provided (http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android Kitchen) all the information you need is right there.

In what way do you want to change it? If it's just icons/colour/transparency then check out http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ you can do it online there with ready made icons from a variety of themes, it doesn't get much easier than that.
It can do a lot more if you want to fiddle with other settings but it's restricted to the stuff that they provide.

Thank you very much for your help, you are doing very well.
I'll explain more or less what I want, is a ROM IOS iPhone clone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533004
My question is, do I unzip the. Zip and I can grab from there the notification bar?
What I want is to have the iPhone interface, you will ask, Why do not you buy an iPhone? xD For this very expensive and is out of reach. At least by changing my Android interface I can have an illusion, it sounds stupid, but it would be the theme. xD
I ask a lot of patience with me, since I'm a bit slow to grab things, but I'm Spanish.
I hope you help me and you may be sympathetic with me.

First of all , thanx button is there
Btw i understand u cannot buy iphone evn i cannot its expensive for me
the rom link u gave is joyos then why dont u jst download it
or jst by changing notifi bar it cannot look like full iphone interface
U can use iphone launchers lockscreens (milocker etc) iconset
for notification bar u cannot transform it fully
All u neet is framework-res.apk frm joyos rom (system/framework-res.apk) and system ui.apk (system/app/systemui.apk)
Same both frm the rom u r using now
And decompile the both apk's with apk manager (google for downld link) now search for battery icons / signal icons etc in both apks of joyos rom and replace them with the rom apk's ..... remember the pic name shud be same (which would not be as both roms r different) u need to explore sm more by urself like searching for icons in apks in folder (drawable-ldpi)
Now finally after replacing icons compile the both apk with apk manager and use root explorer in ur sgm and replace both apks with original and change permissions and reboot phone
If u do all correctly (though this work is gonna little difficult) u can compile both apks successfully and they will run successfully
U need to explore more like searching for the dragger in status bar its pic in systemui etc
The whole interface would not be like iphone like settings menu will be same it cannot be edited so i recomment use any theme or original joyos rom
Best of luck hope i was clear

Look in the android section of the forum. Development, hacking and theming. For most mods you'll need a way to decompile/recompile apps (apktool for example), the android sdk, adb shell and, for the most intrusive mods (kernels, custom boot img) even an ubuntu boot in your pc.
This is one of the most complete recopilations for modding android (section 7 is what you're looking for, some more advanced theming)
