What utility can I use to package a kernel & system for applying as a ROM in Recovery
I'd like to make a stock AOSP Froyo build with kernel for the EVO, as that's all I truly desire, and it doesn't seem to be available.
Can anyone tip me off on how to package the kernel with the system and build the META-INF directory so that it'll be applied appropriately?
Thanks much.
Well, I use dsixda's kitchen for my needs, it may be able to help for you:

But there are a ton of guides, kernel and update related here:

This ROM is from Polish forum: http://forum.android.com.pl/f193/i9000rom-gingerbread-xwjv1-54618/
Credits: goofoos
BEFORE YOU POST ANY QUESTIONS:
ROM:
It is a full ROM from Samsung, it is a beta build so don't expect too much!
Only flashable through Odin/Heimdal
Pit File is 512 but it seems like 803 also works
nitr8 released a rooted and flashable JV1 also thanks to TrOjAnUK
Only recovery 2e available, no CWM.
This ROM will not work with any of the custom kernels available right now! Kernel sources will be published around the official (KIES) release of the first Gingerbread ROM by Samsung. No kernel developer can build a kernel for any Gingerbread ROM until then. thx MrBusiness
Functionality and issues:
bhola made and promoted (excessively) 2 videos (Tutorial & Quick look)
All bands seem to be enabled, thx Nausicaa647
Swype fix by nitr8 thx Rawat for implementing
There appear to be incompatibilities with apps, some apks (especially games) won't work properly
TouchWiz 3 is installed (GameHub not included since it's part of TW4 as stated by skiddhard)
Market does work
Recovery Mode is working, just release the buttons as soon as the Samsung Logo appears thx galaxoid
GPS works thx iammodo
The Kernel just supports ext4, out of the box it's still rfs.
While browsing you may encounter "Kernel Panic"
Customization, root, modding:
Chainfire already rooted it
Daneshm90 enabled the lock animation use ADB to replace the framework.apk
[Ramad] Deodexed and Zipaligned apks of JV1
Stock Gingerbread Launcher thx Daneshm90
Rawat also made alternative Icons

kabuk1 said:
Rooted: Rooting grants you read/write access to system files & allows you to delete system apps & have much more control over the phone. Think of it like the program files folder on your computer- you know how when you access it for the 1st time you get that "you should not modify these files" message? Rooting grants you access to the equivalents of those files in Android.
Deodexed: Every APK has an accompanying .odex file that is a part of each app. They're mainly used to save space & speed up boot time by sort of preloading stuff. Deodexing merges the .odex files back into the APKs & makes it easier to replace files, install themes, and whatnot.
Zip-aligned: Zipalign is an archive alignment tool that optimizes the way APKs are packed. Zipaligning allows the system to interact with apps a lot more efficiently, thus speeding up the system.
Su: The abbreviation for the superuser app that allows you to grant root permissions to apps that require it, and manage permissions for those apps.
Busybox: Provides additional commands & Linux utilities.

Kernels!
A note about custom kernels: Due to physical differences in each device, some kernels will run great on some devices and will not run very well on others. Do NOT bash a developer because you couldn't get [insert kernel feature] to work on your device! Its a physical limitation of your device! Different kernels will run differently so try them all but always, always, ALWAYS backup before flashing anything!

Is anyone else having issues with a "partial" root? I can view files in the various folders, but lack the ability to delete. I have researched the threads and tried the fix permissions method, reflashing the recovery file, and installing SU to no avail.

The file system needs to be set to RW (read write) instead of RO (read only). Apps like root explorer make doing all that sooo much easier.

First off, a few questions: What are you trying to delete and what are you using to delete? If you're trying to delete applications from the /system folder and are getting a permission denied error its because you need to remount that folder as read/write not read-only.

I've never heard of/used that one...try using titanium backup to delete the apps? It doesn't require you to remount the file system.

Saw that last night, but didn't get a chance to add it before I went to bed. Its on there now though, mate
Whiles there's currently an excellent port from the 7100 MIUI build it has a couple of flaws which I'm not totally sure can be resolved. It's been a long time since I looked at developing anything but figured I'd have a look at the current patchrom implimentation to see if we could get a proper 317 build going.
Here's some details about patchrom, and what I've done so far.
First up. https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom already has a note2 tree, so we can use that as a base for changes for the 317.
Have all the same pre-recs installed as you would to compile cm.
In linux you'll need to make a patchrom folder
1.mkdir patchrom
micode doesn't yet have all the repo setup for jellybean, so I just downloaded the following zip tardballs and extracted them into their respective folders;
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_miui/tree/jellybean -> patchrom/miui
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_tools/tree/jellybean -> patchrom/tools
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_build/tree/jellybean ->patchrom/build
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_note2 ->patchrom/note2
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_android/tree/jellybean ->patchrom/android
Once that's complete you can pretty much follow the developer guide here;
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom/blob/ics/Patchrom Developer Guide.pdf
I highly suggest installing this as your source rom, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575&highlight=stock) installing it as a stock build first (no themes tweaks etc)
Create a folder patchrom/317 and start following the guide to create your stockrom.zip
Copy the following from the note2 folder into your new folder
makefile
miuihome
miuisystemui
originalsettings
mms
overlay
phone
settings
thememanager
customize_framework.sh
customize_miuiapp.sh
phoneapps.mk
Camera maybe?
Edit the makefile to update the directory references to your new build folder.
Run the make workspace to unzip and decompile the frameworks that are going to be modded.
By following the guide, with what you've done we're now at the firstpatch phase. That's what I'm currently working on as well.
The directions are a little convoluted so hopefully this helps.
When you run make firstpatch what it tries to do is automatically patch the miui smali bits into the framework/services smali files. Whenever it can't it'll create a *.rej file for you.
What you need to do is edit the associated file and manually put in the diffs from the rej files. Where we have this super great advantage is there's already the 7100 framework with the patched in rej in the note2 folder you downloaded earlier. So really you just need to compare that smali file against yours and apply the changes noted in the rej file. (tip. you edit the original files created during make workspace, nothing in the temp directory, just in the framework.jar.out folder etc)
Here's a really great post detailing an example; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25713236&postcount=171
Boy.. that doesn't sound easy.. but believe me it's easy once you start looking at it.
Ok I've dealt with the *.rej files now what?
Holy congrats! Your a step ahead of me at this point Next up you just need to run make fullota. It *should* at this point build an ota you can flash from recovery.
copy to sdcard, reboot recovery flash and.. it should boot. Really I expect there should be little or no issues thanks to the 7100 work we've already borrowed.
Assuming it works, let's get it on github and shared with the miui team. That'll go a long way to making it a weekly build.
Good luck and have fun!
If you get somewhere, let us know.
An additional source is the changelog for patchrom on the note2 (7100). Here's the manual commit details. This is also a pretty good map for what we need to do.
https://github.com/MiCode/patchrom_note2/commits/jellybean?page=2
Brother, are you now doing this job？I want to do but is too difficult for me...
I have been using MIUI 3.1.25 from the T-Mobi Galaxy Note 2 thread. I really like this ROM. But there are issues since it is not optimized for the i317 note 2 phones. Example: I can't access my 64GB SD card on MIUI v5. I reverted to the previous version (MIUI 3.1.25) and my SD card forks fine. Have anyone followed the instructions in the original post above and was able to port MIUI to the i317 note 2 phone? I would really like to know how to port this ROM. I am looking into how to get started.
Thanks for sharing this! Idk if anyone has improved on miui from this? Im willing to look into it, would you be willing to help me out with fixing some issues once i get it flowing? If so i appreciate it, just toss me a pm at your convenience.

Thanks for the post but belive me fixing rejects is not that easy job. You will get hundreds of rejects while patching the smali code by MIUI patchrom.
If anyone got success with this, I would love to get in touch with you.

i dont know where it belongs...seems like development to me beyond the word 'request'...
but yeah i digress
If anyone with the tools is motivated
the first post of the PDroid thread states this for manually creating patches:
For experienced developers the following basic steps for creating a PDroid patch should be enough to get you started:
Make a clean AOSP build (2.3.4, assuming that your ROM is based on 2.3.x)
Make another build with PDroid sources added
Decompile the framework.jar, services.jar and core.jar files inside the system/framework directory (of both above builds) using apktool
Diff the output so that you know, which parts were changed by PDroid
Decompile the above three files from your ROM, you want to patch
Add the missing code to your ROM files based on the above diff
Recompile your patched ROM files using apktool
The source for his patching tool is posted, so maybe it could be modified to work with mtd roms
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hm5ouwf0sggo8de/PDroid-source-2.3.4.zip
Well i guess this doesn't even work with stock deodexed roms
i tried el30 and it didn't work
the main app thread only refers to 2.3.3 / 2.3.4 & 2.3.5 roms
so maybe its not compatible with 2.3.6 roms
i got bbelos to have a look and he seems to think its possible
but now that i know it doesn't even work on stock bml gb roms like its supposed to perhaps this is a deeper issue
