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.

I need help to learn to cook a ROM

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?

How can I dump Raphael ROM?

Before playing with cooked ROMs, I'd like to make an image of the original ROM for backup purposes. How can this be done? Sorry if this has been answered before - I searched the forums but couldn't find anything regarding Raphael.
I would also like to know how I can do this?
You can dump your original ROM using these instructions:
Dumping Raphael OS ROM
And how do i do so the .raw files becomes a rom file that i can flash with hardspl. or how do i do to get in the phone again
see Wiki, cooking part and you'll find the kitchen tools
i had tried that but i think im a little bit stupid, i dont get it 100 %
isent it any easy way to build a flashable ROM from the .raw files.
pls help

6.1 to 6.5 Charmer Professional Kitchen by Swampy395

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

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

Ervius Kitchen and Nike

Hi all,
I have been using the kitchen that jerpelea originally posted here for us and have been happily cooking ever since...but I would like to change to the new ervius kitchen and have done quite a bit of reading but still can't figure out the exact way to layout the kitchen for the Nike.
Can someone who is using this kitchen for the Nike please pm or post a link so that I can download it and look at how it is set up for the Nike?
If you need somewhere to upload it, pm me and I can give you a temporary ftp site I can access.
I am not being lazy, just trying to get my head around it
thanks in advance.
DT
hi,
i use the ervius for my nike to translate in german 0407.
i have downloaded newest kitchen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469420
general informations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521632
it is for raphael, but i do it this way for nike too.
4 a lite tutorial i have a link for you
http://anryl.freeforums.org/kitchen-multidevice-ervius-pictorial-t8.html
!!! you have to dump an ORIGINAL-ROM first.
happy testings...
Why don't you try a "simple" plateform rebuilder-based kitchen ?
Here's my toolset. Just copy your OEM, SYS and ROM folders in.
Then drag'n drop OEM on \TOOLSET\oem2ext.exe to convert packages to EXT packages (optional).
For ROM folder, look here : http://www.bepe80.com/test/1
Then launch build_rom.bat, chose your keys number and let's go
Well, why you don't download a full kitchen, for an example from Raphael section, and dump your oldschool cooked ROM with it? That#s the way I did it with my ROM!
Now I can cook both for Diamond and Nike with the same Kitchen!
thanks for the info guys, I will try and stick with the ervius one. I have dumped a ROM and it setup the base kitchen.
So more questions...
1. How do I convert my existing OEM apps into this new format?
2. does anyone use this to port xip's, as it seems I get an error when I try? I followed Sous-Chef's instructions, but get an error relating to dumpxip.bat and the xip.bin
thanks for your help
DT
1. look after oem2ext.exe, then drag'n drop OEM folder and all your packages named PACKAGE_<device or anything you want>_<package name> will be converted to EXT packages in \EXT\<device or anything you want>\<package name>_version.
If your packages are not named this way, they'll stay in OEM.
2. to easily port XIP, look here : http://www.bepe80.com/test/2, bepe is explaining how to upgrade XIP very, very easily (I can tell that's easy since I can do it ).
The new problematic is to convert your XIP in packages with packagebuilder by drag'n drop DSMs in it. Then the only part really needed to upgrade XIP is the MSXIPKernel folder, since OEMXIPKernel is device specific.

This is very strange with all the other xip.bin i was trying i was getting the same error importing xip, but now i dowloaded you SYS, extracted the xip.bin from os.nb.payload and it worked perfectly.
Okay looks like I have just about converted my kitchen to the ervius Visual one...just ironing out the last of the bugs and all is good.
thanks everyone for your assistance.

Rom to kitchen state

Here iam referring to ervius visual kitchen for gene or opal.
Before making a rom we have a ext, oem, rom, sys folders in which all basic material contains after building a rom with the above folders we get a .nbh file.
Now i want to know whether it is possible to covert a cooked .nbh rom into its initiall stage that is .nbh to its respective folders?

no my friend..if the rom is protected one and that is in 99% of case u cant get anything....only rom for that is sumit pro 21046 nothing else...even if u r building your rom with vk rhen u will get it as protected
Then is it possible to make a unprotected rom?
Yes, if you use the old way to cooking. Using Ervius VK, all roms are protected.
Ok thanks but may i know any old style kitchen?
Almost all chefs are using VK so an old way kitchen is not easy to find. btw see here for a tutorial (This will work well with wm6.1, with wm6.5 maybe you have some problems)
Help
That tutorial is useful but again as u said that in wm 6.5 u may have some problems and iam mainly want to cook with the latest builds 28002.
I tried one awesome way i extracted a protected rom with nbh extract and got one file 00_OS.nb Then using ervius deprotector i tried to deprotect this .nb file and i was successful in that also but after deprotecting i tried to dump that .nb file using evk, nbhdump but they either stopped working or gave error. Any help would be appreciable.
Ervius deprotector doesn't work with all kind of protections. I've tested it and don't work in any rom that I have. Ask for a kitchen for that rom you want. Is better.
Why u want to make unprotected rom?

Post you SDCONFIG.txt file here, also let us know if you are using any other 1st boot user customizations and chef customizations techniques like ( XDAUC, RUNCC... etc ). It is most likely that your UC costumizations are getting overriden by some things.
