I just upgraded to special ROM v1.2. I like it very much and would like to thanks all the guys made this possible.
My problem is that i don't want some of the applications given with the above mentioned ROM v1.2.
Is it possible to delete what i don't like, especially the little icons on the "today screen"?
Or i should use the original O2 UK ROM and then add the applications i like?
in the "remove programs" utility i don't see any of the application installed, is it because they are "inside" the ROM?
Thanks in advance
Yes they are in rom, if you go to the rom kitchen you can choose which programs you want included in your rom.

I see, but if i don't have a unix machine how can i make my own rom? is there a kitchen to cook roms under win?
dNuOs
If you followed the link you will see that you can choose your base rom and then tick any of the other programs that you want to include in it, within memory constraints, you then go to the base of the screen and click to cook the rom, once cooked you can download it and then burn it into your xda via exe method or sd method, the kitchen runs on unix but you dont need unix to use the cooked roms as you will know having used the 1.2 special edition rom. I hope this helps.

im in the process of making a rom for my mogul but i need to know what would be the best one. ive hear of dcd, but i hear there a dogguys one and a no2chem one. so please tell me what would work best for a good rom creator. also does anyone know how to change both the main bootsplash and the sub bootsplash on the mogul because i hate the boring old stock ones. thank you.

This isn't necessarily a kitchen, because it is already a cooked rom.
If you look at VetVito's base rom, it actually reports 47.88 mb of total program memory. This is a full 900k more than the next closest ROM. I turned off the HTC Home and Microsoft Live Search home screen plugins and after soft-reset, there is >27 mb of RAM available (Free).
I'm using it now and it is snappy and every little bit of extra available ram, helps.

So you use your PPC w/o adding any programs? Isn't that like having a PC just to run notepad?
I'd reccomend you check the other kitchens out as well. i've not used the ppckitchen.org kitchen but I know dogguys kitchen will give you the ability to dump any rom you choose as your base. This may work better for some people who don't like my customizations, or want to use a more stock base as mine has become a little more experimental lately.
does anyone have the link to dogguys or nochems kitchens i wanna try thiers. was anyone successful in changing their bootsplash to a custom one

no2chem's basekit is a really good foundation to build your ROM off of, but I personally think DCD is pretty hard to beat...
this is rom for new gene ie ht8xxxxx
nothing new just port xip sys for new gene
original rom
here is kitchen only work for new gene
part1 part2
extract all file in same folder
Thank you for the same. Just for the sake of curiosity, how much RAM is available free, on startup, in this ROM?
Hey Ankit, you did it yourself? have you found out the kitchen?
After reading the original thread, i guess there are many unsolved issues with this ROM. Calculator doesn't works, calender gives problem, powerpoint gives some certificate error, No java etc. And i think this also does not include Windows Live.
So i dont think its worth an upgrade. This ROM needs some serious tweaking before i can use it. I haven't installed this ROM but i got all this conclusion from the original thread. Is anybody's experience better with this ROM?

According to the author, you'll have about 29 MB. Haven't tested yet.

yes i did it myself
i port xip sys first then use Ramersonw's Kitchen (some modification required )
i will upload kitchen tonight so u modify it
because my exam is there i not be able to Cook rom
can u post some screen shots plzzz..if u hav any
thnx
@ankit360: I would really appreciate it buddy if you share with me the details of the process of XIP porting you gone through. I want to learn the whole process as its quiet an important information to cook a ROM successfully. After knowing all this, i would be able to create ROMs and share them with our friends here.
Its really great man! you learned the process so quickly. Hats off to you!
Hey Ankit,
I tried this ROM. Its clean and ultra fast and very little problems. I am sure if they are ironed out, this could be an ultimate ROM for Gene. i have written about the problems in my previous post. In addition to those here is another one.
I tried installing windows live on this rom too but it didn't worked. Since this is a quiet clean ROM with no Windows Live in ROM, there is no possibility of any conflict. I think the problem is related to some certificates.
I examined my original WM 6 ROM and found that All the ROMs in this forum contains all the other certificates except these two from HTC on the top of the list, see the attached files.
I think this could be the cause of all the Windows Live problems as may be since these certificates are not present, windows live is unable to communicate with the server over an encrypted ssl connection.
What do you think?
I will try to extract these out of the ROM. You try yourself too and PM me if there is any success.
can u list out all bug so i will try to fix it
Just trying out your ROM, its lightning fast!
Thanks for the ROM
60 MB free after restoration of around 300 contacts! Wow, Gr8 Word
@ankit360: OK, here is the list of bugs:
1. Calculator is not working. Reports a missing file "\windows\spbcalc_p.gif".
2. Calender not working.
3. Java runtime is not included (if you correct this error and insert a java runtime, use the latest JBed version, it is the only runtime that can run opera mini fullscreen)
4. Powerpoint shortcut not working. It needs a change in registry. If you click the shortcut it will say some certificate thing but thats not true. The shortcut points to the shortname :MSPOWERPINT. These shortnames are created in registry and the path to powerpoint exe is not correctly given there. either correcting the path in registry or making the shortcut directly point to the powerpoint executable will correct this error.
5. Small bug but there is no option to set the device lock (password when the phone is restarted)
6. No Transcriber (Not really a bug but i need it)
7. Clock canot be set to 12 hour format. it always returns to 24 hour format.
8. Search feature that comes with default windows mobile has been removed.
9. Tabs in HTC home show up even when they are removed from settings>today>htc home setting. It happens sometimes only i think.
10. Windows Live not working at all even after installing the official cab. I tried about 10 cabs from this forum. Nothing worked. It confirms that the issue is not due to conflict with older version of live on ROM coz this ROM doesn't have windows live on it.
Thats all i can think of right now. Will post more if i find some.
man i don't have time to fix this issue bcoz my exam is there
i make kitchen for this rom work only for new gene
try to fix bug and release some nice rom
happy rom cooking

Hey ankit,
I have succeeded in porting the XIP of the default kitchen given by Ramersonw by using my original Wm 6 XIP as base. I have created a ROM based on that kitchen which i will post tomorrow as i am currently uploading both of these.
The kitchen is working perfectly for new GENE and i am 90% sure that i'll be able to port most of the ROMs using this kitchen. Will post kitchen on the Ramersonw's thread also.
that's grate news plz post only xip or changes u made is default kitchens i will not able to download whole because i don;t have enough bandwidth
Hi Ankit,
I am uploading the zip file with changes only. Here is the link for it. And dont forget to read the Readme.txt i have included in it. I am also uploading the ROM i created. Wait for the new ROM thread. Here is the address for the zip file:
http://cid-988261b694475a67.skydriv...gesOnly|_for|_NewGene|_Kitchen|_Ramersonw.zip
thanks for sharing file i will test it
i want to know is ur xip porting procedure is work on different gene rom ?
my xip port procedure work on only this rom
My XIP will work on any ROM which has the same version of WM 6.1. Actually buddy, as you might already know, what happens is that XIP contains a portion of the main files of the WIndows Mobile operating system which are executed without loading into main ram. That is why this part is called XIP (eXecute In Place). So These files have to be the exact same version as the rest of the OS. My XIP is from CE OS 5.2.20931 (Build 20931.1.5.0) so all the ROMs that use this version of WM 6.1 can use this XIP as base.
And this is true for your ROM too. You can use the XIP with any ROM with same version and build no.
I hope i have made myself clear but feel free to ask more.
thanks for info man i really don't known this
Sorry for bumping this.
I have installed this ROM, And I really liked this. It has fastest responce times, and the most Available RAM, from all the ROM's for Gene(More than 25% using even after 2 Hrs of use.)
So Ankit or Sumit, if you have time, will you please modify this rom (I still need to learn cooking.)
Download Java - JBed
Attached the spbcalc_p.gif. Placing it in windows dir, works.
Thanks
Sumit
brother Sumit / Ankit: Please cook and release for Old Gene also.

It will involve a lot of reading, i believe Dutty provides a kitchen in his roms so thats a start.
heres a great starter, lots of info about the kitchen structure in post 1, great starter guide in post 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948
There's a lot involved when it comes to building a fast, stable, well-working ROM.
To get you started, I would recommend you download Ervius's Visual Kitchen based on Bepe's latest tools from HERE.
Second, download the latest stock ROM for your specific device. Mine is the T-Mobile HD2 so the stock ROM for that was where I started.
Extract the RUU_LEO_......exe using WinRAR. It can be found HERE. The free version will serve you well. Now open the Kitchen executable and use the option on the left to "extract" or dump the stock ROM that you just extracted from the exe. This will create the Kitchen for you. Or rather.. It will create a solid base foundation in which you can begin your modifications.
Before you'll be able to re-cook the ROM however, you will have to "recmod" the NTFConfig.dll module in Notification Enhancement. Failure to do this will result in a non-booting ROM. Don't ask why... I just know that this has to be done.
Once you do all of this, rebuild the ROM as stock and flash it to your phone(YOU MUST HAVE HARDSPL FIRST!!!!). If all goes well and the ROM boots, runs, and works like you expect a stock ROM to work, then you're free to start making all the changes you want.
TIP>> NEVER delete any package just because you are now using an updated version. Always keep the original just in case something doesn't work and always remember, keep 2 save files. One that you know for a fact will work if you re-cook and one that you experiment with.
As you get more comfortable with cooking ROMS, then you'll be able to update the SYS/XIP components more easily and so I suggest you stay away from that right off the get go. Get a good solid ROM first then play with those "extras".
One last thing - Familiarize yourself with the initflashfiles.dat file(open it with notepad) located in \OEM\"Device name"\0409\OEM_Lang_0409(I used 0409 as an example as this is WWE - you can use whatever language you like). This file controls all files and directories. Trust me, if you don't understand what I mean by that then open the file and you will.
If you have any other questions I'm sure there are many other chefs here who can offer you help and assistance.
Finally, be persistent! Don't let a buggy or non-booting ROM get you down. It can always be fixed! Just have confidence in your "techy side" and have patience. Know that the more you do it, the better at it you will get.
Good luck and happy building!!!

I have read about Remotetracker.
I also read it would be possible to cook it into a ROM.
I have coocked a rom allready (on touch HD), surprisingly simple, but not so simple to immediately try... [and the testing afterwards]
If ROMS are around with Remotetracker build in, please could you tell me which?
I already searched the ROM Development forum, but a search for Remotetracker gives me a lot of thrads, but in (at least the first ones returned) i found no reference to Remotetracker.
The only one would be Chucky ROM (with kitchen) which mentiones it as an "addon" (does this mean you will have to (re)cook the rom to get it in?
In the meantime I will continue my investigation .....
Thanx in advance
none that i'm aware of, because there wouldn't be much point cooking it into a mass release rom, because the settings would only be stored on the sd card, so the thief removes or wipes the card and remotetracker wouldn't work.
if you want it hardreset and sd card missing safe, then you need to cook it in yourself, after preparing your custom settings. (there is a tool on the creators site to generate a reg file of your personal settings to add to your kitchen when you cook.)
Thanks, I hoped there would be roms with remotetracker build in, but apparently not (done some more searching).
This brings up another question:
Is there a guide on how to cook your own ROM?
I just found one, dated from April and cleared as obsolete.
I looked for kitchen and cooking rom, but cannot find the nessesary information.
Personally I like energy roms, but I cannot find the kitchen used....
It has been a while, so it is not so clear anymore how to cook.
It would be nice if there is a guide/tutorial/manual for cooking your own ROMs.
Is there a custom ROM with HTC sense removed?... I know there are tricks to remove HTC customizations but I was wondering if there is an already precoocked ROM...
thanks!
Look in the energy rom thread, there is a titanium version. (Titanium is what winmo is when there is no sense)
as far as i remember aside from not havinge the htc sense theme it has anything else HTC related... i mean dialer, notifications etc...
You can download my oskitchen, and remove sense very easily by unchecking a folder then remove any packages you dont want and simply build the rom! Links below
I was looking for such a ROM too.

would be nice , but why does NRG titanium ROM has many bugs reports if it's so easy to do?
I asked Sir Sternas (proven chef of astounding Artemis ROM series) to release a pure winmo ROM and that was the answer
sternas said:
To remove HTC Sense and Libraries is not simple.
About 65% of phone drivers are custom drivers from HTC.
WM 6.5.x Dev Kit, has only the "basic" programming files , to build custom drivers for every phone.
