1=first copy the system.img from C:\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-10\images
to original update folder in sygwin

2=now copy boot.img from your nanadroid backup or rom to same folder

3=now use kitchen to setup a working folder

4=in advanced menu selsect porting tools and selsect w to open boot.img

5=in boot.img folder open ramdisk and look for init.rc file of size <20kb of size open it and delete the line bootclasspath

replace it with this one
export BOOTCLASSPATH /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar

will try after making a custom 2.2 rom for a70 & can we port any other phone's froyo rom to it coz i have mi 300 .... having lots of froyo roms.......
 
@Sam
Everything is ready, including repo sync.
Source is of 2.73GB.
My speed is of 15Kbps, i m ready to keep it for weeks but the super issue is power supply.
Everyday 1 and 1/2 hours of loadsheding is there and my UPS lasts hardly half hour.
What to do?????????
I am really frustrated by these MSEB electricity suppliers?
any way to do it quickly except increasing bandwidth which i m not getting frm any of my frnd.:(:(:(
 
Don't worry it won't take weeks and keep it after load shedding so that power doesn't go again but due to your low speed there maybe failure of download of src
 
It is but Google servers are very powerful and at night they may give you some good speeds... or why don't you use a 3g trick so that you get atleast 200lb speed
 
Why is that I'm Tata I get 1mbs do this just activate a 3g plan of 11 rs and see keep balance below 9rs when you activate 3g plan
 
can u mention the tata docomo trick(sorry we r moving off the subject pls reply in the sticky thread provided by insane_subro )

I'm using a 800 VA UPS for my entire home (only lights and fan, no power plug) with a 100 AH tubular battery. so power cuts are not affecting me as long as they are within 10 hours.
 
but i know it is not possible in 24hours i.e downloading 2.73gb in 24 hrs at 15kbps...its impossible

u can give me links to that,I will download n make rar files of 100mb or 300mb whatever u prefer n upload it to my mediafire account.then u can download it easily.no worry of powercuts too.but I will b able to do this on Monday only.

Thanks for ur help mastermind but it has no links and has to be downloaded from Ubuntu itself.
 
do u have 50GB space??
then why don't u start building gingerbread.
We all are here to help you.
yes you are right, everything is using terminal only
 
I don't have 50gb in my hdd but I have portable hdd of 1 tb..is this ok?
i will clear this you dont need 50gb space 30gb is enough and that is you make only one build and should have atleast 3ghz cpu speed
you have a portable hdd why dont you move everything to that and repartition your system
and last for gb you need a 64bit pc if you have 32bit then use it in virtual box then you can compile even ICS in 32bit
 
Hmmm...my lappy capable of 64bit system but i m using 32bit but cpu is intel pentium dual core 1.60ghz...i think i will have to wait for my new lappy coming this feb(i5) but it's a long wait then.
 
with 1.6ghz your compile will take atleast 8hours and with i5 processor it will take 45minutes
and virtual box is best if it is a 32bit system
