Call For BETA TESTERS: ROM Kitchen - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Hi, Currently I'm building a further GUI (building on the one supplied with my CustomRUU) to enable people to cook their own ROMs in a much simpler way; so far I have completed interfacing with aChef and with Addfile and Delfile; permitting you to select multiple files to add and delete from the rom (rather than having to do it individually from the command prompt) and dumping the registry is also done.
Please do remember that this is beta software and as such, I have no guarantees that anything will work (although the interfaces from the original ROMBaker should work)
and a final note: all files etc must remain in the same directory; I realise this is quite a pain in the arse but I haven't found a way of dealing with that unfortunate issue yet.
BETA2:
this adds an IMGFS extraction button: note that the file *MUST* be called imgfs_raw_data.bin - this is intentional as it could cause issues for new users if they start farting around renaming that file and then wondering while addfile suddenly stopped working, although I'll probably end up implementing it so that it renames the file for you while you're dossing around (whilst also ensuring that the one with that name doesn't get deleted)
please note that the RGU issue is *NOT* solved, it simply won't crash the program any more... in fact, not much will crash it any more, so be aware, and CHECK it did what it was supposed to do
BETA2.1:
Fixed the Registry dumper
Beta2.5
AddFile and DeleteFile now works for any directory; code from DeleteFile is unchanged simply because the directorys are irrelevant for this tool anyway.
BETA3.0
Revised so you can now actually work stuff into any folder you like (it moves the files temporarily), also fixed a few things; next version will implement a treeview of your dump folder allowing you to add and delete files.
Beta3.1
Fixed the bug, changed layout to tabs... still need to do the TreeView

Great work. Post some screenshots!

Bring It On Mofo!!!

Good Work, we will give it a go!

---

I'd be happy to beta test too

I was just getting to this and then I saw your thread.
You can count me in....
Saves me the effort of doing it myself and allows me more time to hunt down and fix WM6 Issues!

---

OK, here it is; extract the folder somewhere and to start, all you technically need to dump is a OS.nb file in there.
if you want to edit the registry, obviously you're going to have to manually run the ViewImgFs tool yourself then select out the two .hv files.
However; as outlined in my Readme; when editing the registry, you don't need to fart around changing the encoding or add the REGEDIT4 header (although you can if you like) since the program will automatically add it for you.
ok, as I said, it's beta, so even though I just said it should do that... it might actually not, so the idea is for people to try stuff, examine if it worked and then have a good whine in here at me if it doesn't so I can fix it; I'm going to be on here for quite a good few hours more, so hopefully this can become fully working within the next 4 hours
Also, sorry for the delay; I was unaware of the UNICODE encoding requirement for rgucomp (and the REGEDIT4 header) and was resultantly farting around trying to figure out why I couldn't convert an RGU back, then after figuring it out, I decided to save others from suffering the same experience and coded ROMBaker to do those operations for you!
Special Note:
If you are a Trinity developer; DO NOT rebuild the NBH with this (unless you aren't including an ExtROM, then you're safe); but if you are including an ExtROM, use the version of ROM Baker supplied in the Trinity CustomRUU to avoid buggering up your phone.
Also, there is a cosmetic bug where I forgot to rename a button and both of them say "Dump ROM"; this feature is still perfectly safe to use (well, at least the code executed won't be affected anyway) so don't bother to post a bug on this, I've already resolved it

---

I know this isn't probably the feedback you're looking for as this app is not meant to be idiot-proof, but it crashes when you click "Browse" for registry file, and then cancel.
Code:
************** Exception Text **************
System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form.
at System.IO.Path.NormalizePathFast(String path, Boolean fullCheck)
at System.IO.Path.GetFullPathInternal(String path)
at System.IO.FileInfo..ctor(String fileName)
at ROMBaker.Form1.Button18_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)

---

I'm really curious, although I fear the "advanced newbie" I am might find it hard to understand how to use this interesting tool.

---

- The button to build the registry says "Dump" instead of "Build".
- If default.hv already exists on the Rom-Backer directory when building it crashes, have to remove it manually first.
- A button to dump with viewimgfs will be useful too
- You should add suport for working with files inside the "dump" folder, it's a PITA having to move them up and down the build folder manually
- A progress bar or a message telling you to wait until something is completed will be nice.
Still cooking a silly rom to test it, will report more things back when finished

hi there...
small bug:
clicked on ipl browse... selected nothing... then this cames:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

For example:

</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I downloaded it and will test it tonight.

---

right, these exceptions you're getting are just silly; I've revised the file with a fix to stop that happening now, so any exceptions will be genuinely useful.
to Pof: I'll work on getting that dump folder working; it should be easy to do actually now I think about it.
sadly a progress bar is not do-able but a message instructing you to wait is, so I'll include that.
Also, all new revisions will be maintained on my first post; I'm just uploading a new one now so the old is getting deleted.

---

I can't seem to get the default.hv to dump to default.reg... I went to the dump folder, moved the default.hv up to the parent dir. and selected the dump registry option. Nothing happened.
I did set the env. variable _FLATRELEASEDIR=. in one cmd window, but, I'm not sure if that's the issue anyways.... Any ideas?
Oh, using the commands manually rgucomp.... worked.

---

I love the serial # prompt.. Good thing I had a keygen lying around for it!
w4r3z are cool!

---

odd... I can BUILD the reg. from a .reg file -> .hv, but I can't make .hv -> .reg.

my mistake; it was using an absolute rather than relative path, uploading the revised one now.

oli, under vista i'm always getting: (as output in the regfile..)

and i thought it was my fault because i played around with rgucomp a while..
it doesnt even work from the commandline...

hmm... a stab in the dark, but firstly; download my new kitchen, and secondly, try setting the permissions on the folder to allow Everyone full access... just a stab in the dark
