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?

main kitchen tools made by faria
base rom is a mixture of several roms
rapidshare link Charmer Kitchen
some extra OEM packs OEM pack
this are OEM packs I got from the wizard forum so I take no credit for them
download and extract
do not delete anything in SYS folder that you don't know what it does
OEM folder you can add things and delete things you don't want...
ROM folder most be untouched same with tools folder they are there for building the OS
start BuildOS and choses what apps you want and press the green play button and wait for it to finish.. it will make a folder called temp
now press CreatROM and wait for it to finish if there is any error then you have included to many apps in the BuildOS then you most go back to BuildOS step and remove some app
if no error then go to the temp folder and flash the OS.nb file to your phone
I'll upload an other zip later with much more OEM pack that you can use in building you custom rom....
Is it possible to put some other rom in the ROM folder? like the Essentials rom from nocturne? Would it work?
(I'm pretty new to all of this,sorry for dumb questions )
you can use also my rom for cooking - the only problem is that i'm lazy to release my own kitchen - it needs some cleanup, files there are in terrible mess but i promised to release it, i must do so once...
And would that resolve the driver issue? Like bluetooth and camera? Or would i also have to change something in the SYS folder?
Hi guys
As you might know I do not have a charmer myself.... but it way pointed out to me by anja31.. that one of my roms that I made for Prophet did work for Charmer...
So I downloaded nocturne's wm6 rom added some of my stuf and then made a rom for that anja31 tried and found that it worked but hat problem with bluetooth so what I did is I replaced the bluetooth dll's from nocturne's rom with the once I have.....and if the camera from nocturne's rom worked before then I should also in this kitchen.
Yes you can change the content of ROM folder if you know what you are doing
but now have fun and make some wm6 roms for charmer
Thanks for the kitchen gullum ! I'll play with it & report back. You revived the "Charmer-Scene" for me, thanks for your work.

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.

You cook ROMS by building the basic componenet up. 3 folders are vital:
1) ROM
2) SYS
3) OEM
The ROM/SYS are the basic OS of the phone that is needed.
The OEM are essentailly the various packages or programs that you want the custom ROM to contain.
The thread by jerpelea contains all that you need for your kitchen to start cooking.
Given that you intend to create a custom ROM that is in portugese, I would recommend using the Blackstone OEM packages. Eack program appears to have 2 folders, a basic program, and then a language for that program. It is certainly easier than editing and translating the package to portugese.
Hello guys and gals
I did say I would post a Kitchen for Charmer and here it is 6.1 to 6.5Complete and ready to cook
A big thanks to all the developer's that post there tools and work so we can all cook ROM's without them there would be no ROM's
Thanks guys your the Best
This will biuld a 6.1 M2D 5.2.20273 rom in 3 styles it's based on BEPE's tools and is easy to port to any build to learn more about this Kitchen go here http://www.darkforcesteam.com/showthread.php?t=569 read carfully and you'll find that you can have multi lang and many other options too
The OEM folder is my latest and will port to all 6.1 and 6.5 builds without you touching IT so unless you know what you are doing don't touch it this contains all the needed files for the charmer's hardware!!
The EXT folder can be edited as much as you like ( at your own risk of course ) read the above link note study the 3 folder's and you'll see that editing the image file's will change the look of your rom
To add a new color theme Open 1 of the *.bat files and edit the 3 or 5 points in red bellow then save_as New?????color v*.bat
"set BUILD=Color"
"move .\temp\OS-new.nb .\****_*****\_Swampy395_Cham_color_v2_0409_20273_OS.nb"
"tools\namedate /F /t /y .\****_*****\_Swampy395_Cham_color_v2_0409_20273_OS.nb"
To learn more about OEM's go Here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=OEM Package Tutorial
To port a new build to the Kitchen see the video's in the first link above and think a little about it, there are many ready made XIP and SYS folder's if you search this forum clue:- QVGA 96DPI
Hope you like my kitchen happy cooking
best regards

I Don't ask for your "cash" but your feed back would be nice
P.S. ask any questions in this post so all can learn from each other's questions and please read this thread before asking
Nice kitchen. Maybe we'll get some new devs cause of it. Well done.

Hi mate this is a professional kitchen it's not hard to port to any build
this is all you need from a new build
MSXIPKernel
MSXIPKernelLTK
SYS
Almost everything? that's that mean???
Tell me something usefull and i may be able to help
I recomend you build the rom that came with the kitchen first and learn to edit/change things
I replaced the SYS and MSXIPKernel folders. Used wm6.5 SYS/XIP. Then _skip packages which do not need me.
Then build OS

this kitchen requires the "MSXIPKernelLTK" from the new built somtimes you need to download the xip.bin of the new build and dumpit to get "MSXIPKernelLTK" but you must have IT.
Never edit "OEMXIPKERNEL" this is the charmer kernel and must be used for every build, also romhdr.bin that came with the kitchen copyed into new build folder,
As kitchen is when first unpacked and
Don't forget to edit the ?????.bat file or you'll get the old build

I've managed to cook and flash successfully my first rom with ervius visual kitchen. Nothing special, just update of official wwe rom with 21054 XIP & SYS.
I get always an error with latest version of visual kitchen, no matter if I changed something or not, and finally I succeed with a previous version from Sous-Chef's Guide.
I tried to cook a wm6.5 with latest 23403 XIP & SYS, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
but now the device stucks in htc mobility screen.
I ported xip.bin with these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4401715&postcount=2
and I created the rom with and without "real wm6.5 aku" checked, but after flash both, the device stucks in htc mobility screen.
I suppose that the problem is with XIP, so needed some editing to make it work?
I found the solution!
Because lolite haven't a native wm6.5 kernel it's needed to convert some modules to files.
After I convert Browsing, Browsingcore and Browsingie folder modules the rom boots normally(needed to wait too long to access align screen though).
Hi!
Does anybody have information about the default value of pagepool in Iolite? And where I can find it in *.nbh file?
16 Mb, U can change in Ervius kitchen by "Xipporterex & Romtools"

Yes, I found it already, but when building rom kitchen anyway change it to 6Mb
In the Build_log.txt I found: "XIP PagePool from: 6 Mb, to: 6 Mb"
Where I can change it in the kitchen?
You can change it if you "press Other" and change the number on -PP box.
But as I read, Pagepool is better to be smaller cause you will have more memory. The larger size is for stability when you run a lot of apps the same time, but I think this is not usual to run a lot apps the same time for ppc users.
Anyway, a size of 6-8 MB it's good. Search in forum to find more info about it.

O, thanks, i missed this button
I know about dependency Pagepool vs RAM, but Iolite has too much RAM, so as for me, it's better to set default value and forget about it
After Ervius kitchen I have header of *.nbh file like in attachment. Is it correct header or smth missing?
I have no device yet, so i can't check if it is right or wrong header
wont it be great if some of the great cookers such as dancer_69 can come up with a tutorial on how to cook a rom.. it would definitely benefit the whole iolite community..
I'm not so good in writing and my english also, and I'm definitely not a great cooker. I just search in the forum to find some tutorials, and also ask if I had some problems and sometimes I get some usefull awnsers from the great cookers.
Thanks to ervius and his visual kitchen, cooking became easier and there are a lot of infos and great tutorials here, in the forum:

To be honest, it is far so better to find how to cook by yourself. You will get more knowledge and experience, which help you when solving problems. For example: I also have Vox smartphone and I am learning on it. I got stuck on some stuff, but I solved it by myself and now I know where I made mistakes.
Great tools like Ervius visual kitchen makes all this stuff really easy (sort of click, cook and eat ), but you still need to know, how it works. And don't forget that you still can brick your device.
