Building my own ROM

I was just wondering if anyone could give me a link to a tutorial or something that can help me learn everything you need to know how to build a ROM. I know how to use BuildOS but I wanna get a little more advanced. Like how do all these guys like Juicy and Mike make their ROM's. How would one go about updating the sys/os files in a stock ROM. Any tips would be much appreciated.

To update the sys/os in a stock rom, first decomplie the rom with prepit. You will see three folders. Take the folder named oem, and put it aside. The other two folders are "rom" and "sys" they are the OS. Since you are upgrading to a new OS you don't need them.

Next, download a kitchen from Calcu or TobeyChris. Extract the kitchen. Replace the oem folder in the kitchen with the oem you decompiled from the stock rom, and build. Flash and enjoy. Done.

Re: Building my own ROM

It's in the attached zip, which is a modified version of DogGuys kitchen for DIAM500. It's got everything you need except an RUU to decompile, modify, and rebuild a stock rom.

EDIT:

RUU also attached, just extract the folder to the kitchen.
Attached Files
File Type: zip DIAM500 Kitchen Tools.zip (1.12 MB, 38 views) Click for barcode!
File Type: zip RUU.zip (694.9 KB, 17 views) Click for barcode!

Re: Building my own ROM

For building your own ROM at the very basic level, try the sticky'd tutorial

As for getting your own SYS/XIP.... I'd stick to playing with packages, rgus, provxmls, and other easier things until you have a better understanding, then look for SYS porting guides... if you get to that point, you've p***** most of the poeple here. If you really want, you can then try XIP porting, but that requires a lot more computer knowledge.
