[Announcement] Project Release!

[aloy1455]

I like the look of this. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

Saying that, I just created an awesome de-blurred version of J_rod's ROM with some crap taken out... cooked the ROM (took a couple of minutes, no worries there) and then got a 404 when trying to download the zip.

I would like to try this out, I want to also make a de-blurred version of the same ROM. can you name ALL of the things you removed?

[tickler136]

Basically, I used BrwnMod as a guide, deleted all the things from there that were still in the ROM with the exception of AudioEffectSettings, CMP, MotoPhonePortal and StickyNoteWidget, as these were all things I used. I also installed ADW Launcher, I prefer it to any of the other launchers. I also tried doing it with the kitchen on XDA but it wouldn't flash - I'll have another go later, it's probably a silly error on my part. If I do get something working, I'll PM you. Not going to go releasing yet ANOTHER ROM which is basically the same as all the others on here, I don't agree with jacking other people's work, but since you're after specifically what I'm trying to do if I can help, I will.

I think your httpd service crashed on http://romnshit.info/ its timing out for me but the server is responding.

[tickler136]

Ah, in which case it could be that the fixes are taking place now. It's a great idea and I REALLY hope this can be got working. I'm way too much of a nugget to try my hand at ROM modding without a kitchen.

sweet thanks man, I can't wait for your PM

HINT:

The easiest way to do something like this, would be a CGI scipt.
CGI Scripts will allow you to open linux-based scripts as an application on the web server.

ive made things similar to this before

ALSO PLEASE READ!!!
You will need to take out a couple applications (such as phone.apk) from the "delete" list.

if noobs use this, and delete the wrong apks, they will definatly screw up the build. which will cause you more work giving them support.

[tickler136]

Good points raised there OpenCliq, my personal viewpoint is that if someone is noobish enough to delete things from a ROM without researching what it does and whether they need it, they can deal with the consequences themselves. If the developer spends time on making it a noob-friendly kitchen, it's time wasted that could be better spent elsewhere.

My biggest concern about this kitchen at the moment is that we could see the forum inundated with ROMs that either rip off other people's work or don't actually work. But to see something like this for people to have a go at their own ROMs is a great thing for the community.

[opencliq]

Technically it's not their rom unless they either built from source, or asked for permission.

However, is kitchen does the same thing as a drag and drop, then sign.



P.s. If you need help with the scripts, I'm here.

[tickler136]

I meant "their" as in for their own personal use.

[opencliq]

That's what I figured, just clarifying for the rest of them

[tickler136]

Aloy, you can haz PM nao.

...... PHP IS CGI...... You think your confusing CGI/PERL with PHP... PHP is a rebuilt CGI engine, you can run PHP scripts the exact same way on bro.

[opencliq]

true.

Run shell script from web page

those should help.

guys try downloading your cooked rom again. it downloaded just fine for me. tryed it on both google chrome and ie and it works. im running xp so it might just be the os on your cpu

[tickler136]

Trust me, it wasn't the OS. It does appear to be working now however, I'll have a closer look when I have the time off work.
