Hey guys! I am new to XDA Developers! Most people would have seen me over at Android Forums! I do know a lot about developing and rooting but I am trying to develop a ROM for the Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile) and when I go to install it...it says Installation Aborted!
My ROM (SpaceROM) is a port from the BulletROM! I was looking into making ROMs from port and I used a method of editing the ROM with Windows Explorer! I just extracted the ROM using WinRAR and then went into the ROM's settings and stuff...I edited the different apps that would install when first booted and the bootanimation.zip. But when I go to install it, it just keeps saying Installation aborted! I did a FULL wipe in every way I could!
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Hope the great Devs here lend you a hand. Wish you luck. I'd love go learn ROM building.

Likely the zip file for changed in an incompatible way. The zip requirements are very strict for a ROM. Google zipping up an update on Windows. I'd offer more help, but I don't have internet right now so this is all swyped in on my phone.

Any DEVs give me some advice? I'm trying to set up my build environment for compiling CM9.. I'm following the Wiki Guide on CM's site and I'm stuck at a roadblock for pulling the proprietary files thru adb off the hercules.. problem is I can't find them or the extract-files.sh. Supposedly they are in the /android/system/device/hercules right? I'm not finding it anywhere.. Any suggestions?

dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now for Samsung Galaxy SIII SGH-T999
Compatible with Windows (Cygwin) / Linux / Mac OS X
The following is a guide to assist you with creating your own Samsung Galaxy SIII SGH-T999(V) (T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron) custom ROMs with the kitchen. This is NOT a guide to help you become Cyanogen or do fancy things with AOSP, but it may be your springboard to bigger things in the future.
Some of you already know about the Android Kitchen. It is a project I started on back in February 2010 to help newbies create their own custom ROMs and learn more about Android. As of the latest versions, you can now create your own Galaxy S3 T999 ROMs with the kitchen.
IMPORTANT: For all other Galaxy S3 variants, this guide may not be exactly the one you're looking for. There may be support for your S3 device in the kitchen, but I'd need to post different instructions. Check the first post of the kitchen thread for any updates for linked instructions.
I'd like to thank Jamison904 for testing and providing feedback, which is always appreciated!
[MAIN PAGE] [RELEASE NOTES] [FAQ - page 1] [FAQ - page 2]
GUIDE
First, you need a rooted Samsung Galaxy SIII SGH-T999 with a custom recovery menu, which allows flashing of custom ROMs.
Visit the Android Kitchen thread to download the kitchen. Then, follow the link to the FAQ which will show you how to install it on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X. Ensure you read the FAQ carefully.
Put one or more of your base ROM(s) under the original_update folder. For the Samsung Galaxy S3 T999, there is support for the following formats (that I know of) which can be placed in that folder:
Stock firmware:
system.img.ext4, cache.img.ext4, boot.img
or TAR/ZIP file containing the above. NOTE: If the TAR file name ends with "MD5", remove the MD5 part from the name.
OR Custom ROM:
IMPORTANT!! If you chose a ZIP file then it must be one that was created by the kitchen from the stock firmware, not through other means (NOTE: The kitchen may NOT support custom ROMs created through other methods such as CyanogenMod, due to potential file structure incompatibility issues)
OR Nandroid backup from custom recovery image:
system.img, cache.img and boot.img
system.ext4.tar, cache.ext4.tar and boot.img
Here are some basic steps to creating your first ROM after you have your base of files under original_update (more options are available in the kitchen):
Start the kitchen with: ./menu
Create a working folder (by choosing your base ROM)
Root your ROM
Add Busybox
Optional: Disable boot sounds
Optional: In the Advanced options menu: De-odex your ROM (your mileage may vary as to whether this works 100%)
Build ROM
The ROM is built into a ZIP file meant for flashing from the custom recovery menu. No Odin. Make a Nandroid backup of your current system before you flash anything!
Some notes:
Just select the defaults whenever you are asked about something in the kitchen and are unsure whether to type 'y' or 'n'.
There are lots of questions answered in the FAQ in Posts 3 and 4 of the main Android Kitchen thread. So if you have issues with your installation, please go through that first before asking questions in this thread.
For the benefit of other readers and to prevent confusion, please only discuss the Samsung Galaxy SIII SGH-T999 in this thread!
Most of all, have patience, take your time and enjoy!!
Thank you dsixda!

Basically updater-script fixes for the SGS3. All the painful work, such as file extraction and boot.img extraction/re-packing with correct headers was already done when I was working on the Galaxy S2 variants.

Yes! Those pesky updater-scripts always gave me a problem writing them myself (you know because I always came to you lol).
Might some a few hours with it after work.
Does it have a port feature by chance? If so, how good is it? Cygwin always gave me problems.

There is a porting feature but it is quite old and experimental and I don't know how well it works anymore.

I need some help with finding the right pa ROM and appropriate gapps so I can install. I attempted once but while in recovery I could not find the ROM or gapps in the folder I assigned. I'm not sure where I went wrong but basically I downloaded what I thought was the right ROM and gapps from this site. Actually I think I had to find the ROM elsewhere. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I thought I had everything but for some reason it wasn't right. Please help and thank you for your time.

I have been attempting to build cm11. I have followed the guide on the cyanogenmod site to build for d2spr. the build completed but will not boot past the splash screen. If anyone could tell me what Im missing I would greatly appreciate it. I have attached a copy of the terminal output after the build. I'm very new to linux so I really don't know what to look for. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.
I can give more info if needed. Anyone?
