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.

There's a development kit somewhere around here that allows you to cook your own ROMs. I haven't played with it, though.
Hai everyone,
I would like to go and build a rom myself.
I've been reading the forum a lot, but still have no clue where to start.
I want to make a dutch rom based on the official HTC WM6.1 rom.
I would like to recieve some tips and tric on how to start making a rom.
I know how to dump a rom and how to reconstruct it.
Now i want to know what tools and programs i can use to modify the rom.
For example how to remove programs and how to add them..
So i able to make a start and go my way from there.
Needless to say i will release the rom on the forum as a return of favor
Hope someone will give me some tips on how to start.
哈哈.看不懂.你想做说什么啊?
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:
WM6.1 test (XIP&SYS 21054)

I don't see the reason for creating this thread unnecessarily when your exactly same post has been answered here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672234&page=8
I am quoting the reply below (again exactly from the same thread!) by Lesscro
"1 - Hello
2 - Use original ROM...
3 - There is real "ROM" as you say... but only build developpement...
And there is no final version actually on Android... no need to search better configuration...
Wait for final and stable versionof ToshDroid...
My Advise...
See ya..."
You could follow the same thread where you are most likely to get more responses rather than this new thread! I think it won't be beneficial for anyone who tries to search for some information to look into 450 different threads if everyone started to post their questions as individual thread rather than addressing it in the correct thread!
*MODS* Is it possible to not have this thread any more!? (unless you see it useful in any other way!)
