Hello everybody, I tried a lot of roms from all the developers from this forum.
Now I would create my own ROM, but I don't understand how to start.
Could someone help me in this adventure?
here is a good way to start
try using my nanoscopic kitchen then you'll see what is needed to coock a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327225
then you can start to use the hyper core kitchen and start dumping roms to rebuild
The BIG Gullum!!!
Thx so much for all of your job. I will try to read your instruction.
Gullum, how can I get the OS.nb file? I mean, with Nanoscopic I will able to add/remove some apps from the ROM, but the OS will be still the same, isn't it?

yes you will need to use hyper core for dumping new roms but most new roms the rgu files(registry settings) have been removed... so it's verry hard to make roms out of the never roms.
but you can use my kitchen to learn and you can also find lots of oem packs on this forum that you can include in the oem folder of the kitchen
It means that I can only add or remove some cabs file?
But how you can create a ROM from the beginnings?
I think that is not possible for me to change the ROM in the deep
An easy question: how can I change the ROM theme, or dialpad?
My friend Gullum i´m portuguese can you help me because i would like to learn about to change ROM for portuguese language is ti very dificult?
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
Your guide is really good & helpful

ok i think many many many of us might be having this query in our minds but no one (surprisingly) has asked this question yet...
it all made sense that ppl were asking for WM6 ROM ports for the Atom life when actually there was an official ROM....
(PPL said it didn make sense... and yes i very much agree that it sure didnt)
but recently i saw the WM Kernel 6.1 Demo and have been in love wit ever since....
Will any of the great souls of this forum be PORTING the WM6.1 to the ATOM LIFE any time Soon...?
Forgive me if this question has been asked befor (i searched for it in this section but failed)
waiting for a reply
TAKE CARE & GOD BLESS

it's actually for SP not PPC. see this thread
let's pray for it
it seems that the demo is for SP only but it seems down right STU**D for MS to not release the Update for the PPC... the latter being the high end in both hardware and OS...
so i'm pretty sure that it is in the offing in the not so distant future ;-)
m8 and i found this screenshot from one of the BA ROMs posted in the respective forum sections...
what bout this is it some srta joke..?
I dont think PDAViet group makes fun of themselves anyway.
But you never know there are ways to change the build and version number.
unless there is a better verification rather than just build number, it's just gonna be hard. Maybe someone could be check some of dll file version

totally agree! it's easy to fake such numbers. even good ol MS paint can easily do the trick!
I have ported the new wm6.1 to atom life ,and it run quite stable and the speed is faster than wm6.
but It has two bugs:1.I have ported the wm6.1 XIP to life except 3 files,so the XIP version could't show properly
2.wm6.1 implement new sms program,and if you use the reset button
to restart the phone,then your lately sms and phone record will lose,so the only solution is using some software to soft-rest the phone.
the download link is here:http://www.pdaclan.com/thread-6318-1-1.html
this version is chinese version,and I HOPE someone can translate it to english or maybe IF i Have spare time I will do it.
THANKS FOR reading my poor english.
Nice ROM
How did you change the bootscreens ? If I extract the original screens from XIP, I only can open it with Windows Paint.
I never figured out how to change them.
It looks good and seems fast, but unfortunately I can't read chinese.
What's the difference between the first al1.dio and the new one ?
WM61. for PPC is Available

wow! I spoke too soon!!! hehehehehe. well, if it's true that WM6.1 is out already, there is no need to rush things and jump to 6.1 this early. IMO there are still some bugs to be fixed in our WM6 right we can then finalize WM6 first, to become very fast and stable. before leaping into WM6.1 that i'll bet a grand full of bugs! hehehehe

Change the bootscreens is easy,and I hope you can understand what I explain:1.as you said,you should extract the original screens from XIP,2.you should EDIT IT using photoshop,you can open two files,one is the bootscreens file ,the other is the one you want to be your
bootscreens,and then you should copy the other image then paste it to the bootscreens file,3.when all these is done,you can merge Layer of the bootscreens file and make sure that the file size is 153,672byes,and then you can replace the file in XIP and use xipport to build the new XIP.
the difference between the first al1.dio and the new one is the first has implement the new xip from the original 9000 wm6.1 rom ,but it couldn't show the version numbers:5.2.19195,instead, it show 5.2.18120.Meanwhile,it's pure edition, THE new one's XIP is from the p800 wm6.1 ROM,but I think the XIP is faked because I have compare it to the 18538 XIP and found out most of the files are the same.but THE new one can show the version numbers:5.2.19195.That's it.
QQ108108, are you okay?
I'm trying to translate, without success, your ROM, but I'm a noobie and need.
If you give me some directions, I can keep trying to do it.
Hugs,
Nalvio
Please do your best we are waiting anxiously for this rom.
Thanks

How to get the original bootscreen from XIP?
How to replace the new image in XIP?
Is it the same with Atom/Atom Exec in nk.exe/S000?where is the first byte in hex of image in S000?
More, I found BooScr.bmp in ATOM LIFE KITCHEN\TOOLS\OUT\FILES\OEMXIPKERNEL after run XIPPort. That file size 153,672bytes, Is it right?

It's easy to get the original bootscreen,just use xipport to dump the original XIP,then you will find BootScr.bmp in /out/files,and the method to replace the new image in XIP I have explain in the previous post.
I think that it's not the same as Atom/Atom Exec,because I can't find anything like image files in Atom/Atom Exec XIP.
BTW,TO my atom life,replacing the new image in xip do not need to EDIT nk.exe/S000.

It's not difficult to translate the rom,All I need is wwe rom,and the wwe SYS from the other device,and I can make a wwe wm6.1 rom, but now I'm dealing with the most difficult part:XIP,maybe when I finish this part,I will make a wwe rom for your guys.SO now you just need to wait or try to make one by yourself.
btw,I am a chinese with poor english,so I don't think I can give you a clear directions.Sorry.
hello ive got th iolite
but i dont know if i can use the tools that i also use for my blackstone to make the romdump?
and can i use the same kitchen as for the blackstone??
hi,

i wanted to make a dump of the dutch rom but is already on the site
so i thiought a dump wassnt nesecary any more
Hi, i got a dutch Iolite and right now i am trying to find out how to swap to an english ROM. But somehow it is quite difficult to find kind of a step-by-step explanation in this board.
I guess before trying any kind of flashing action i should first dump the ROM I have installed, to go back in any case.
So i downloaded those ITSutils but procread just crashes with a 'RAPI.dll was not found" error. Well, i will check for that later in the board, but in general... What should i do to dump the ROM?
I am supposed to plug it to a pc via usb? If so, using which drivers? Do i need to open that windows mobile cd i got with the phone?
Because if i would not need it, i would keep it closed until I decided wether to keep the phone (in english) or to sell it again when it has to stay in dutch.
Thanks for any help, because I really did not find what i was looking for within the wiki or that board so far. thanks
I find this topic very confusung too! :-/
For maybe being of help for other people:
- the RAPI.dll not found error is gone, when Active Sync 4.5 is installed at the host-computer, then there are also no further drivers needed
- smartphone has to be attached via usb in the activesync mode
The thing is this:
Nobody explains that right!!!!!!
Sorry maybe i'm a fool!!!!
I think is more easy wait a original ROM upgrade from HTC......

The real interresting question here must be; how to backup / dump my existing ROM to .nbh?
That way it wouldent be so scary to try the different custom roms here, and allso it would be very easy to share our ROM's.
Dump it to RAW, then use "Visual EviusKitchen" - ExtraButtons - Raw2NBH
Dumping programm: HERE
Kitchen U find in forum too, must use sefu

Flash 99%
Hi, when I used any non-official Roms I can't passe the programming FLASH sequence. The soft stop downloaded at 98% or 99%, but I dont know why?
Does anybody knows how to use this Kitchen?
I know how but, its not very user friendly and you really need to have ext realloc knowledge and xip, i might release a cooking guide but i dont know yet, some russian guys are working on a visual kitchen for the acer s200 so lets see what comes first.

Thanx Rafyvitto!
So it means that you cook and build your own Roms with this Kitchen, right?
I assume that you extract the latest HTC HD2 Custom-Roms and then you try whether they are working on an Acer S200 or not, if I´m not mistaken cause many HD2 modifications, like transparent Clock, 1 percent HTC Battery bar or Max Manila 2.5 etc. are also working on my Acer. (Logically it´s simply the HD2 Manilla 2.5 version...)
Yeah Please release a guide when you have some time left. I would also like to build my own custom-Roms...
Can you upload your beta v0.3 Rom?
