So I cooked up a rom in dsixda's kitchen, after days of reading, reading, more reading and finally messing around in the kitchen. So I managed to install my first rom and everything was working great, however it seems like I lost my root privileges. I still have superuser in my drawer though, and I added root privileges in the kitchen so I dont know why I would not have root. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
 
Inside your zip file there is an updater script. That is the file name, its in the meta-inf/com/google/android directory. Open it with Notepad+. Or credit if in Linux.

I know how to edit the script, i understand that part, but when you said take the contents of updater script in SuperUser.zip and add it to my updater script for my rom thats where i am stuck. Im not sure how to merge them together. I understand the layout of that script with commands and such, i just dont know the exact location in that file to put everything. Maybe there is already a rooted stock rom i can use as a base to work off of. Anyone know where i can find one? Ill do some digging to see if someone has posted one. I learn by using examples lol which kinda sucks in ways.

Just the parts where it says set_perm cause it wants to set the permissions, sorry didn't mean to sound like an jack #@% lol

You saved me a crapload of time my friend. My laptop i do my work on isnt that slow, but it takes a good 15 minutes to deodex a rom. I wish i had my desktop, this rom making would go so much better. My pc is setup to be a development pc. Anyway when i put some money on my paypal account i will probably buy ppl some coffee or something :D
