How to Create Your Own Custom Rom Using Kitchen

Not my responsibility if you soft brick your phone.

What you need:

1.Kitchen from Here

2./system directory of
your custom/stock rom.

3.Root access on phone

Root browser - Here

Root Explorer - Here

5.Common sense and half an hour (MOST IMPORTANT)

Instructions:

(I presume that you have already
installed Cygwin

Java JDK from - Here

Cygwin from - Here

WARNING: Do not
install Cygwin before
the JDK!!

GETTING SYSTEM FILES

1.Install your preferable Root file
browser in your phone.

2.Open and look down for system
folder in it.

3.Copy the whole folder on your sd
card OR

1.Open your favourite custom rom
and copy the system files in there.I
personally used creeds v2.5
(Use this method if you want to test
it or you are a lazy kid like me!)

SETTING UP ROM

1.Open Cygwin and type "cd
kitchen" and press enter

2.Type "./menu" in it. You will see a
menu after that.

3.Go to
Cygwin>>home>>user>>kitchen>>original_update

4.Make a folder there named as
"WORKING_XXXXX" and put the /
system files you obtained in it.

5.Go back to Cygwin and press 1.

6.Press enter once again and select
the name of your working folder by
pressing the number against it.

7.After this it will ask for naming
another folder.Do as you want.

8.Now you have a working folder
which is going to become your
future rom. Select any options from
the menu which you would like to
have in your rom.(I have not tested
all of them so there is a chance that
some of them wont work).

BUILDING THE ROM

1.Press 99 to build the working
folder.

2.Go for the interactive mode so
press 1.

3.Zipalign them by pressing y. A
wall of text would come but dont
worry

4.Add updater-script. Again a hell
lot of text

5.Press y again

6.Sign your rom by pressing y

7.Change the name of your rom by
pressing y

8.Press Enter to finish!

9.Go to OUTPUT_ZIP and open the
your rom and go in META-INF
fodler.Over here you need to put
the updater scripts which you want
for your rom. I have tested the
scripts from Creeds v2.5 and it
installs perfectly. (This is not a
necessary step because you can also
install your rom with the original
META-INF script.)

10.Copy the rom to your sdcard

11.Boot in cwm and wipedata+cache
and then install your rom.(Have a
backup in hand)

12.It should install perfectly cuz it
booted properly in my 9/10 tests.

13.Enjoy.
