KITCHEN ANDROID

dsixda's 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.

THIS PROJECT IS RETIRED.

Quote:

This project is retired as of 2013, as I have become overwhelmed with the number of devices to support, the demand, bad health, and the constant requests for help, 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.

If you need help with your device, please ask in the appropriate device forum. I just want to request people to stop asking me about the kitchen in my posts in other xda-developers threads or Facebook groups that are not related to the kitchen; it is not fair to me or other users in those threads. I have not worked on the kitchen since spring 2013, and have moved on.

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 perhaps 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!
