Do we not have a working kitchen for EVO?

My question is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748419, was like how did the feck that happened, and I wanted to learn so badly.
Do we have a kitchen that developers from xda uses to make custom roms or kernels for EVO? I'd like to try, pls. I'll even read up some android development books. :x
Thx

Here is another one that I used to use. I believe it is Evo specific.
Evo Kitchen
EDIT: Nevermind, it is on the nexus one forums, still a good kitchen though lol

oh GOD just ignore any posts that I make lol. That is a keyboard kitchen, not sure where my head was.

yeah dsixda is what everyone uses. That is why there are 30 different sense roms for download in the dev section lol.

Video how to?

I am sorry if this was posted before, but I was looking at some of the guides for learning how to make themes. I have never done anything like this before or done any of this type of programming, but would like to try and learn how to.
But I am a person that learns better with watching what must be done then actually reading it lol. Is it possible for someone who does themes for the epic can possibly post or make videos on how to actually start learning how to make themes from the stock files? Like setting up the different programs needed and then maybe doing a sample of how to actually make a theme from the stock.
I hope I am not offending anyone for asking this, but I find this site very fascinating but like I said I am very new to this type of programming or working with android phones.
But I will understand if this is not possible to do since so many people have different ways of working and might not be able to show there work. But any possible help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your time and patience.

youtube has given me knowledge a time or two.

There are a bunch of how to's all over these forums. Some have videos. feel free to ask questions and myself and others will help

Ok first of I know of many questions lol....Even tho froyo is out now, do we the eclipse plugin for adb? I follow the written tutorial to install sdk and the apk manager app.
But I did not install the eclipse adt plugin that the guide talked about, is it necessary even tho we are on froyo currently?
Also what would be a very good starting point for a newbie? Should I focus on a specific field of the android devices or is themeing very different from the other aspects of modding the epic phones?

I have yet to use eclipse on any theme I been apart of. I use apkmanager to de compile and re compile .apks. I use notepad ++ to edit xml files. Xml files can only be edited when the apk had been de compiled. I use gimp for image editing. You can use any photo editing program you like. I use 7zip to brite and put the images in the apk. Baksmali and smali for editing .dex files.
I suggest reading the how to's as they explain everything in detail.

I learned everything on my own. I didn't have anyone to teach me. I taught thomasskull666 and where working on some good projects. Me and dreamsforgotten are always bouncing ideas off of each other. If you see my eclair build I was the imply theme with the reboot options that I will port over to froyo once we get an official build. I also have two other things I figured out for froyo that you can see in my froyo build. I labeled all the silent options correctly to vibrate and I removed the sprint branding. Its hard to believe I was like you when I got my epic. I didn't know ****.

I'm 26. Its not hard to learn the basics. Xml for the most part is well writtin so making those changes are somewhat easy. Smali is a ***** to edit and that I'm still learning. For the most part a theme is 95% images.

I was gonna ask the same question but decided to do some searching and reading. Im gonna figure it out sooner or later because you learn from your mistakes and practice makes perfect.

First you should get yourself familiar with Androids innards. It is very unlike windows and closer to linux/osx. Grab yourself Root Explorer, it will be a very worthwhile investment unless you are already familiar with ADB.
Make sure you have 7ZIP, and GIMP, and know how to use them first. Also install Brut.all's APKTool (base for Android-Utility/APKManager)
Download and install the Android SDK
Here's the Developers guide, It has quite a bit of information in it related to specific png locations, names, how they're displayed, etc and more.
Here's a guide I used to get into theming made by TheImpaler747 (VERY notable dev)
If you have a Mac/Linux grab Android Utility (Essentially APK Manager for Mac), it has a very active and helpful dev, as well as a very intensive guide.
If you have Windows/Linux grab APKManager
These are advanced APK/Android tools that let you edit APKs, Sign ZIPs/APKs, and much more.
Remember only sign APKs that go in /Data, if it's in System, don't sign it. If you edit an APK/ZIP it will lose it's signature, so remember to resign. If an APK goes in /System/App, don't sign it. All update zips must be signed in order to be flashed. Make sure that the updater script is in UTF-8 form and saved w/o a filename, many things can go wrong with this and make your zip unable to flash.
Here's another very large compilation of guides
Messing with AOSP? There's a guide for that.
Wanna Learn ADB
.9.pngs killing you? Me too, I have several links to those
Long Text Guide
The guide I found that was like an Epiphany
Hex/XML Editin? Grab Notepad++, Learn about color hex codes, memorize ffffff=white 000000=black ff0000=red and in GIMP/PS/PXM/Etc make sure you have a color pallete/notepad of the colors you need to recall on the exact same value more than once, this will be alot of colors.
Edit Settings.apk's List via XML

Gentleman, pm me. I have information I have sent others... It does require reading though... Exstensive reading. But its how all of us learned how to make roms and themes...

I updated my post with a small guide. I will continue to improve on it.

Thanks guys!

[Q] Which rom do you use?

The topic is on.
Which ROM do you use( may + kernel) and why?
And which rom do you recommend for me if I need full Sense UI with eqs and statusbar qucik settings?
I tried a lot of rom but for now, none of these is correct for me. (The best is Nik rom but the widgets allways FC )
So I decided to ask you guys, which rom do you use and why?
Thanks.
For mods: This is not a compare topic. I just wan't to know which rom is the most popular.

Sorry to say, but it will end as a comparison thread and therefore my hunch will be right to say that it will be closed soon.

But now i just want recommendations or to know which rom is the most popular.
This not break any rules at all.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Well i made my point. Just figure it out for yourself what you need in a rom and decide wich one is the most popular for you, don't go running off on someone else's opinion about a rom.

Yep, i tried a lot of rom and don't find a perfect for me.
That's why i started to looking for the most popular roms.
As you say i learnd from the closed topics so now i only want to know which is the most popular, not wich is the best, stabilest, nicest, smootest etc.

the so-called 'popular' ROMs might not be the best for you either. Just go out and try some.

Dont judge me, just write down which rom you use. Give me this favor.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Well you certainly did not learn after all your threads with the same kind of approach. The conclusion stays the same, you want to know what is the most popular rom and assume then that its the best one around ! That's wrong and inaccurate, roms are absolutely personal stable or not !
You said you tried a lot of roms then pick one from it and move on.

I see you don't understand what am I need.
I'm NOT looking for the "best", "stabilest", etc. Rom.
I just want to know which rom the users prefer.
In the N7 General topic there is a poll where you can vote which rom do you use atm.
When I have same free time i do the same here.
Not just for me.
For everyone who wanna know which rom is the "popular"
And it can help for the devs ,they can see which rom beat there own rom. May inspired what they missing from the rom.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

See that's where you go wrong in my opinion, there is no rom beaten by another !!!! They are all great, some have different themes to offer other have different tweaks. They all have their own unique settings.
This is not a competition !!!

Since all chips are made differently....at first I went with the obvious choice of viper x. On ICS i got battery life for something like 36 hours every day use. Then, with JB, the phone battery nosedived faster than if i threw it out of a plane..tried different kernels but no reasonable change. So I had to change and now I'm on InsertCoin with stock kernel. Happiness contained

Hmm.. you still don't understand..
I do not said it's some kind of competition.
All about the users, which they want in a rom.
That's why we have a lot of rom.
It's just a simple question which rom is popular.Not best or stabelest.. or something else.
I'm just interested about this question which rom the users use mostly.
Im just interested and thats all.
So when i have some free time i start a poll on the general topic becouse i want to know that.
If you don't care about it just make a vote and leave the topic.
I don't break any rules if i make a poll.

Lol i understand it all very clear ! If somebody talks about "beaten by another rom" then its a competition.
Well yeah.....you make your poll and be happy......if you don't understand it after all your closed threads .....yah i clearly don't understand

Its hard mate.... im by no means a rom builder. I need to learn all the process and its sooooo long without a decent internet connection.
Google "learn to build android roms" and build a couple of roms from scratch to learn a few bit and work on that. :thumbup:
