[KITCHEN] Android Kitchen, v0.224 [Linux / Mac / Windows]

Android Kitchen

Compatible with Windows (Cygwin) / Linux / Mac OS X


Introduction
  • This is a tool for those who want to start learning how to make custom ROMs, or who just want to save some time with their ROM customization.
  • My goal is to make your life easier, and, at the same time, help you learn about the Android OS.
  • The kitchen will not automatically turn you into a developer. You are not programming anything or building a ROM from the ground up. The kitchen merely presents a user-friendly interface to hide all the rough details. However, this may be the push that gets you into development in the future.
  • A little bit of prior UNIX command-line knowledge would be useful to get started with the kitchen, but the help guides should be enough for a newbie. Knowledge of command lines is always important if you ever want to get involved in Android or development.

PROJECT UPDATE:
Quote:
Please note, as of 2012 I have semi-retired myself from this project, as I have become overwhelmed with the number of devices to support, the demand, bad health, and the constant nagging, especially with a new addition to the family and busy life.

Unfortunately I am still suffering from a torn scapholunate ligament in my hand that I incurred in late 2010 as a direct consequence of the extra time I spent on the kitchen on my laptop. Thus I cannot spend time on these kinds of activities on a regular basis. I will add updates once in a while, on my own terms, when I feel like it, but I don't want to feel obligated to do work for people especially when I am in constant pain. I am currently undergoing costly treatments for my hand.

If you would like to contribute to the kitchen, you can submit a plug-in (see post #5), or you could send me an email/tweet/"git pull request" for a specific case. I *do not* encourage people distributing unofficial copies/kangs or charging money for my kitchen as I have seen in the past.

This all doesn't necessarily mean the kitchen won't work anymore in the future. Please refer to the information in this post for how to get newer devices to work with the kitchen. I really hope this kitchen helps you out. If you want to, send me a tweet or hit 'Thanks' at the end of this post (or whatever else) to let me know it worked out for you.

Thanks for your support!

  Play, Ray (follow steps below):
  - Can only build ROM without boot.img
  - If using stock FTF for kitchen: 
     1) Unzip FTF file, extract the system.sin
     2) Dump system image from system.sin w/ Flashtool
        (Advanced-> SIN Editor) 
     3) Rename dumped file to system.img

    is recommended to flash from the temporary (fastboot) Clockwork    
    Recovery, rather than the regular Clockwork Recovery, otherwise 
    device may not boot (possibly because custom recovery files in 
    system folder are not added to ROM? e.g. recovery.tar).
