Although this does not exist, I've tried to describe it using the existing tools.
Could you guys give it a review, so i don't give any wrong/unclear information.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomkitchen
nice work! Hopefully someone will try to automate this process by providing a real romkitchen.
well you cant place programs in the real rom like you could on the xda1's so a xda2 kitchen would just be a more userfriendly way of putting programs in the extented rom
Hi all,
I made this manual in order to help people like myself to better understand ROM cooking basics.
It was ment to be used for Prophet ROMs, but since it uses HyperCore Kitchen, it can be practicaly used for any WM6 ROM.
Please be free to post your comments and/or suggestions.
NOTE: This manual reffers only to "old" way of ROM cooking (first downgrading to WM5, and then flashing to WM6)
If you find it useful, please vote.
Thanks to:
Gullum (for great ROMs)
Anichillus (for great Kitchen)
Cloudyfa (for Step1 ROM)

No, thank you!! I will look into it.
me too
i like this
Thanks for your effort, this is a really good guide.
I just wanted to ask is there a difference between ROMs built this way and ROMs that we flash using new Hard/SoftSPL method.
I saw nb2nbf tool, so is it possible to just convert OS.nb file and flash it using new method or is there some more work that needs to be done?
thank you
I really need it !
Ill check it out this weekend! Seems like fun to me
I have red this guide and it is very clear, very thourough and a big help to anyone starting to cook! THANKS!!
(@ allothers that are missing some extra's: it is NOT an advanced course! So, don't complain but take an example and publish your own knowledge and experience this way. Then everyone can benefit)
Initiatives like these are giving back the original gaoal of this website, it isn't called "xda-developers" for nothing.
Perhaps someone can make a tutorial for skinning standard OS-parts (commanager, dialer, calculator, etc...) Or how to translate your favorite ROM to your own language?
you can't use this way to create XIP from Shadow's ROM, Crystal V5. ROM or from Korand's ROM.
If someone can make this XIP.. Could anyone share the file...
with that file. I can make a new ROM based on new OS..

Never flashed any of these ROMs you specified - so if their XIPs can't be dumped using Dump XIP tool from the HyperCore Kitchen, than I won't bother with them. Let me add that ROM cooker can also remove RGU files from ROM before posting, making it very difficult for someone to modify it. Then I'll skip such ROM too.
But...
FACTS
- This manual was intended for beginners.
- When you are a beginner in ROM cooking you don't like to be confused, but want it all to be clear to you before you do anything to your expensive device.
- I see that you are using modified Touch ROM, which can be dumped with this method.
- I also use modified Touch ROM, but I will not post it - there is enough good ROMs out there already
Cheers!
Hi All - my first post
Thanks for this Phnikola, I'm brand new to all this (smartphone) stuff and need a place to start. Looks good so far.
My TC500 never was in the shops, has no support and no official upgrade path (hmmm...) but there are a few cunning points concerning SIP and home landline "awareness" in the original ROM I'd like to take with me up into WM6.1 (got Cloudyfa's Shadow 2.0 TE ready to go).
Any1 have any good advice for me?
Thanks again

Yes it does, but you don't have to cook your own ROM. Just wonder around a bit on this forum and pick a ROM that suits you.
Dear phnikola
Thanks a lot for such nice guide... I was trying to use HyperCore kitchen for last 4 hrs but was not able to pass step 1 of extractiong Os.nb

I offered this same service for the Kaiser and the Hermes (just now for the Hermes) and a lot of people seemed to like it so i thought i'd bring it here. It'll bring a lot more load on me, but i'm on summer vacation until the 25th and then school starts (will continue to do this even when i have school hopefully).
Most chefs tend to cook what the majority of the people like including myself. When i cooked my first ROM and asked people for feedback/suggestions, i did get a few programs that everybody liked but there were many suggestions of programs that each different user liked. So i could have cooked Livcast in which Joe wanted, but Mary wouldn't use it at all; that kind of thing
I couldn't get anybody to cook what i wanted so i did it myself So i'm opening up this thread for ANYBODY who has a request to cook a ROM which can include ANY program (or rather anything they want). I will cook commercial programs, but will NOT include any license/registration key; that's up to you to get. The format should look something like this:
Programs: Thousands of these.
Games: Thousands of these to
Version: Here you can tell me whether you want a cube version, non-cube version, diamond build, etc.
Other: Whatever else you'd like.
Preferred Upload Host: Have problems with RS? No problem, just tell me the site and i'll upload it there. I can also upload to Jannaa's blogspot thanks to her generosity!
You can help aplace4u.biz to stay free.
Chances are that I probably have access to the programs you want, so i'll make them to an OEM if i don't already have them.
I really want a Raphael/Fuze to so if you can, help me in getting one, i'd appreciate any support. This is 100% FREE and i'd like to help as much as I can, but if you can/are able to, i have PAYPAL ksallstar2013 at yahoo.
Reserved, just in case.
Pssshh, you shoulda just put the programs on it for me, not sent me to your FTP. Haha jk, Although I need the pass to the .rar file.

Just want to know if the radio can be changed so that Europe and US frequencies are working? Is it hardware or software related? Will donate you some bucks.

Ah, ignore the email i just sent
Radio is a software thing that can be changed. You could use the same radio for two countries, however you have to find the best fit one.
My laptop has been a living nightmare, so yesterday i took it to Best Buy so that they can fix it for me. So as soon as it's back, i'll get going with all of this!! Thanks for the support

Actually, there are two different kitchens for each and i don't want to take a chance at messing up your device because they "look the same." If i have time, i'll go into the Diamond and see its whatabouts and get back to you (when i get my laptop back) Currently, i'm on my bro's computer (vista :\)
I also forgot to mention that l3v5y will also be helping me out in this project! We're going to work together to try and bring you guys the best custom ROMs I'm sure you guys all know him Support l3v5y if you can!!
Hello everyone!
As and when HardSPL is finalised for the Raphael, we can begin cooking, and releasing ROMs.
Anything in the Official (Shipped) ROMs you want removed can be removed, and (virtually) anything you want added can be added.

ROM cooking is not identical, but is similar. I'll go and grab a copy of the latest WWE ROM and try and apply those changes. It'll be an unsigned ROM though.
Alternatively, if you want to cook it yourself, you'll need to delete the OEM packs that have the names corresponding to the app (windows live is a SYS program, as is Windows Update and User Feedback), and look for all the files with names like "config.txt" and delete lines such as "CAB: \Windows\Opera.CAB" as they are cabs for Opera. There is one for manila as well.

First things first, remove the "PACKAGE_DIAMOND_MANILA" OEM pack.
Also remove the 0409 OEM pack (first make sure it contains only
Code:
69479299-552b-4c65-8085-cfeaaffda10c.dsm
mxipupdate_oemoperators_WeatherCityBase.provxml
_2330fc3c_manila
*** Note: not all Diamond ROMs contain this! ***
Finally, you have to remove the manila_PT_Reg.cab file, and the line associated with it in a config.txt file.
Thanx man for ur good and quick reply
1 more question please
where do i found this config,txt file? in the OEM folder or SYS folder?
Thanx in advance

It'll be in the OEM packs if its there... Do a search for "PT_Manila_REG.cab" to make sure it's there.
Perfect... thanx again
Besides the regular cooking it would be nice to see some adjustments on the home screen:
Make the clock, normal small digits so we get room back for other things, like seeing my agenda below it.
Also there is a good working CAB to get the Call history in the icons below so we can get rid of the line with big title under the clock.
Thanks, Bastiaan
@ l3v5y
another question please.
when i use an official rom (includes Radio) as a base ROM for cooking, will the radio be automatically included in the cooked ROM or do i have to do that manually during Build OS?
Thanx in advance

Radio ROMs, Splash screens and other non OS parts are added when you use HTCRT to create the nbh file.

edit:I tryed to upload a visual kitchen you can create a kitchenfor iolite with it, but it wouldn´t upload. Lay in hospital - use UMTS surfstick
Me utilities interest to disassemble build... How xip to get?
When I´m back from hospital, I´ll give some files for cooking, but not the entire kitchen. Will be 1,03 GB!
I can is wrong I am expressed! I translate from the translator. I have a native assembly, it is necessary to disassemble on SYS, OEM and XIP. What program can be made it?
Ervius visual kitchen works.
I shall go to search. Thanks!
P.S. What devices are assorted by this kitchen?
i whas wondering ive some one is cooking roms for oure phone
now hspl is released
with my other phone there where already roms before the hspl whas released
and here hspl is out for a couple of days but nowhere roms for the phone
I think there are some. But need some time to prepare and test them.
I' m cooking myself and I already have some workable roms. Right now I have wm6.5 with mega packages on my device. But there are thinks to be fixed and needed skills and knowledge that I haven't. I'm new to this, and there are a lot of informations here, but difficult to find and most difficult to read and understand, if you don't know very good english, and I don't.
I can post my roms if some want to play and test them.
But I don't know if I can fix thinks that don't work. For warranded good roms, needed to wait the experts.
sure i will test it
and a suggestion first make a normal rom and try to make that one flawless and then add the megapacket
and for questions there are enough great cooks here on xda
try to contact one of them that speaks youre language maybe they can help
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm uploading right now 2 roms for testing. There are normal with Iolite stuf with updated XIP & SYS. As soon as links are ready I will post them(maybe in next hour).
They seem quite stable, I didn't test them a lot cause I'm trying to make another with mega packages. I try to fix some problems with ezinput, audio manager and commanager. Other things seems to work fine.
Here are the links:
