[KITCHEN] Basic ROM kitchen for aspiring Tattoo cooks [PC/MAC]

Hi guys,
Lately I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM on HTC-based Android devices. It allows you to do basic things such as rooting a shipped ROM, adding apps2sd, modifying the task killer memory threshold, etc.
The appropriate settings are now in place to make it work for the Tattoo.
Here is the link to the kitchen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Before flashing any ROM from the kitchen, please make a Nandroid backup first of your existing ROM!
Thank you, and enjoy!

oh dsi! Great news for us, thank you for all your works!
I'm downloading

does it work with 2.1 update.zip too ?

If it is a Tattoo ROM, then yes. If not, then it will still boot if you port it, but some things may not work (unless you know how to fix the drivers and resolutions).

Thanks man
Downloading....
Nice to see you again.

thanks buddy... keep up the good work.

ok, fine. i didnt know that. thanks. as mr.paul was saying it can be possible to change that radio on tattoo. but he asked us to wait till his next release of ROM... so i thought is there anyone who also know how to do it. so that we can have a little more information about that when we r ready to flash it....
i wanna know about the radio, how to change it & what r its advantages & disadvantages please....

I don't have any cooked ROMs coming - this is a Kitchen.
No I have no need to change my radio.... just do a search.. you flash radios just like any update.zip.....

Going back on topic, if any of you are successful in building and flashing a Tattoo ROM - especially one with root enabled - please let us know.

I've built a ROM with root from a stock ROM (extract system/boot.img from windows temp), and my tattoo stucks at "TATTOO"'s screen.
What's wrong dsi ?

Hmm there must be a problem with the kernel base address used when re-packing the kernel. I used 0x2E000000, maybe I am wrong? This value is set in the build_boot_img file.
Could you try 0x19200000 or 0x10000000? Thanks!

I don't know ^^'
How can i help you to make it work ?
Maybe we can ask to tattoo's devs :/

****, now I know what the problem is. It should be 0x2E00000 instead of 0x2E000000. I had one too many zeros! Sorry guys.

[Q] Wondering ??? Window Phone 7 for our lovely x8

hello everybody . . would like to ask all of you . . is there any dev in our forum who try to built a custom rom that adapted from window phone 7 for our lovely x8 using any other cm7.1 or cm7.2 as based ? i mean a custom rom that have fully wp7 interface and apps , (not putting the window os into our android) lol:laugh: . . if there nobody , can someone try to make this custom rom ? i know there is a group of dev who owned the ability to built a lot of custom rom for us in this forum , so why not they try a different thing for this time . for me , it would be a pleasure if we can get the custom rom based on wp7 apps n interface also the animation. it will be awsome if our dev port this on our device coz (low,mid end device) like samsung galaxy mini n ace already have it . but i dont know if anybody else doesnt like this idea . just one of my little annoying idea . . so , if a dev willing to do this project , please inform me n i will help as much as i can do . . i'm not a dev , just noob friend who come with this annoying idea . sorry for my bad english . .

Because our X8 has not enough ram to handle metro ui along with other active background apps.
I have a better suggestion : purchase a lumia 710

Bro. Did you try to visit the link i attached at post #6. If you did i think you can see the main subject . We all know we cant port WP7 OS into our device so we just make it look like same as your tutorial but still have the difference . Yours a tutorial , us a custom rom . Feel me ?

Launcher7 anyone?
This would be really cool, actually. Hope op would see this project to completion. Btw, pls make a version for stock.

It's buggy some times and I don't want to release it in public

5 tools only are needed:
- Notepad++
- 7zip
- DSIXDA's Kitchen
- APKTool
- SMALI/BAKSMALI
Nothing else.
Start by doing so mods following tutorials, try to mod some apps by yourself, experiment things and try, do many many testings...
I've learned all what I know by starting like that
