So you love loading custom ROMs, but you just wish you could choose what features you wanted in the ROM or even grab a ROM from another device and port it to your phone? Well, thanks to DsiXDA over at XDA Developers, there is a neat little program that can help you do just that. And best of all? No programming skills required. So here’s how to setup the program and get started on your first custom ROM!
I. Before You Begin
1. This ONLY works for HTC Android devices at the moment, later versions might support others (check here for an update when it does).
II. Download a Virtual Machine and Set It Up.
1. Download VirtualBox for free from here (the one for Windows Hosts at the top). Then click next on the setup process until it installs.
2. Open VirtualBox and click on New.
3. Name the New Virtual Machine whatever you want (we named it Linux for simplicity’s sake).
4. For Operating System choose Linux, then choose Ubuntu for Version and click next.
5. Click Next again leaving the Memory Setting at what it is preselected at (should be 384mbs).
6. Click Next on the Boot Disk screen as well leaving boot hard disk and create new hard disk both selected.
7. Keep clicking Next until you get to the slider that asks how much space to set for the Linux. Move the slider to 8Gbs and click next.
8. Click next until it is done and shows you the original screen you started on but now with the Linux Machine Powered Off on the left.
III. Install Linux Ubuntu on the Virtual Machine
1. Download Ubuntu 9.1 from here.
2. Once it is downloaded, in the VirtualBox program, click the Start button at the top.
3. Close out all the warnings that come up.
4. Then click on Devices > CD/DVD Devices > More CD/DVD Images… then select the .iso image for Ubuntu you downloaded.
6. Follow the prompts on the screen to install Ubuntu on your Virtual Machine.
7. Once it is installed and reboots, goto Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type this line with hitting enter at the end:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre
It will ask you for a password, type in the password you created when you went through the Ubuntu installation process (it asked you for it before finishing the install).
Then it will ask you y/n. Hit y then enter. Then when it shows you the terms and conditions, hit right arrow on your keyboard and click enter to select ok. Then hit left arrow on your keyboard and enter to select Yes.
*NOTE – Your keyboard and mouse will not function on your regular computer once you use them in the Ubuntu virtual machine. To re-enable them, click the Ctrl button on the right side of your keyboard.
**IF YOU GET AN ERROR INSTALLING THE JAVA FILES,
Download the java files manually FROM INSIDE THE EMULATOR/LINUX using Firefox here:
Then open the Terminal App in Ubuntu and type this with hitting enter at the end of the line:
sudo dpkg -i sun-java6-jre_6.18-4_all.deb sun-java6-bin_6.18-4_i386.deb
And that should fix it.
IV. Download and Setup The Android ROM Kitchen
!THIS NEXT SECTION NEEDS TO BE DONE WITHIN THE UBUNTU VIRTUAL MACHINE!
1. Click on the Firefox logo at the top of your Ubuntu installation (in the Virtual Machine).
2. Type this into the url box:
theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen (to navigate to this page from within the virtual machine).
3. Now download the latest version of the kitchen file  in the first post from the link below(again from inside the Ubuntu installation on the virtual machine. We are doing this because we want to save this file in our Ubuntu Virtual machine, NOT our regular computer).
4. Again on the Ubuntu machine, Find the .zip file you just downloaded, right click it and click open with Archive Manager and then click Extract at the top.
5. Once you click Extract, it will ask you where. Double click the folder that has the name you created when you installed Ubuntu (my username was theunlockr so my folder is called theunlockr. It is the first folder under recently used in the list on the left). Then click Extract at the bottom right.
V. Run the Android ROM Kitchen
1. To run the Android ROM kitchen, click on Applications at the top of Ubuntu > Accessories > Terminal then type the following and hit enter:
./menu
2. You will now be greeted by the simple text menu of the application. Enjoy!
VI. Create Your First Custom ROM

Cbowley,
Here’s the thing. According to Google analytics, 80% of our readers are using Windows. Not too mention it happens to be the MOST popular OS in the world, by ALOT. And there was even a study that showed that the majority of people who own the next popular OS (Mac), actually ALSO own a Windows PC as well lol. It’s like saying, “Why are all the street signs in the US in English?! Assholes!” lol For those of you already using Ubuntu, you are not your average joe, and are probably a developer or at least someone with enough computer knowledge who can figure out that you can just start from after the virtual machine in this procedure.

I am running Ubuntu9.10 already, if this is the case, then just follow the tutorial from part 3, wherever it says ‘Virtual Machine’ that is just your Ubuntu ‘as is’!
To make things a bit tidier in your ‘Home’ folder, create a simply named folder inside your ‘home’ folder (I called mine ‘rom’), and extract the contents of the Kitchen download into this.
Then you can use the following command to access that folder:
cd /home/username/rom/
./menu
Hope this helps!

Yes you can put those downloaded files anywhere, and “sudo dpkg -i ” to install them. As shown in the command here, you have to have both *.deb files built together in a *single* command, because they depend on each other.

For those having trouble installing Ubuntu on your virtual machine in Windows, try installing Cygwin on your Windows PC instead. Cygwin is a type of Unix environment for Windows.

Ok so after alot of hair pulling, I got the kitchen working with 10.04. If you are still having problems installing the Java files try this:
In terminal type the following and of course hit enter
gksudo synaptic
After that a window came up and stated that there were two damaged files (the java files). dont laugh but I am unsure as to what exactly I did after that, so to not miss-guide anyone i’m not giving any exact instructiond. however, I deselected the two java files and clicked the update icon above. So it updated. That took about 6 minutes. Once it was done, I entered the following while in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install -f
It went thru it’s process and after that the kitchen was able to sign a rom I trimmed some unwanted apps out of. If anyone trys this let me know if it works the same for you. Maybe you will pay better attention to detail and can add to this. : )

Anyone with problems installing Sun Java 6 on Ubuntu 10.4 this was posted by
gabe neil. Of course you’ll have to add sudo before these commands. Thanks to gabe for this , worked great for me.
Installing Sun Java 6 on Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx
It looked like Canonical was going to totally abandon Sun’s JDK with the release of Lucid Lynx. After heated discussions, however, instead it was merely tucked away even deeper into the recesses of alternative repositories. Now it lives in a partner respository, so as root you’ll need to run
add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner”
apt-get update
to add the appropriate repository. Now you can use apt-get install as before to install the sun-java6-jdk or sun-java6-jre packages. For those curious, this is the “official” way to do this according to the release notes.

I just have to say that if you’re using ubuntu 10.04 in a VM or normal install you’re going to need to Chang the softwared sources to enable backports. Of you don’t you can’t the Java packages you need. If type running another distribution then either use synaptic or the default software manager. Also if you do the VM route make sure you Change the USB settings to 1.0 or you’ll have issues with windows crashing.

i noticed someone else posted this up and didn’t get an answer back either… whenever i put the line of code into the terminal it proceeds to ask me to enter my password like normal… although it won’t actually let me enter it at all… i can type for days and nothing shows up… but if i hit enter and start typing really fast it will start typing before saying that i entered the wrong password… any idea how to fix this issue??

Hey – I followed everything stated here – great tutorial by the way – very simple and easy to follow.
The issue I have though is this – I got to stage V. Run the Android ROM Kitchen – I typed in ./menu in the terminal and I was told
bash: ./menu: Permission denied
why is this and what can I do to rectify it?
cheers
Steve

Hi all….
Can anyone help me..???
After I downloaded with firefox, the Java.bin and Java-jre in the Virtual box ubunto when I click on them it gives me this error:
ERROR:Dependency is not satisfiable:sun-java6-jre(>=6.21-1)
ERROR:Dependency is not satisfiable:sun-java6-bin(>=6.21-1)|ia32-sun-java6-bin(>=6.21-1)
And when I used the commands in the guide to install them with terminal again give the errors:
Cannot access archive: No such file or directory
—–
I changed the names in the commands also, and make them as :
sudo dpkg -i sun-java6-jre_6.21-1_all.deb sun-java6-bin_6.21.-1_i386.deb
in the guid the versions are different, I used both, and both of them gave me same errors…
what should I do..??
please answer me…

A lot of the problems I had with this were from simply not restarting the ubuntu system, each time I would restart it different things would happen. Right after the initial installation i never restarted it, i was never asked for any passwords when trying to install stuff, and my disk space was way to low…pretty stupid but just make sure you restart the ubuntu system multiple times so changes can take affect…i guess, i’m pretty new to this so thats about all i can add
