DCD if you dont like what im doing just tell me to delete this post and i will.
All credit goes to DCD one of the best kitchen and Rom maker's out there.
If it wasn't for him our 6800's would be almost useless.
This is for the people who are using the titan kitchen. I took DCD's latest build and repackaged it for the PPCKitchen.org Titan Kitchen located
here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=23206
Place it in your BuildOS/Kitchens directory and then extract "Titan_DCD_3.01_Selections.txt" and place it in the BuildOS/Projects directory.
Now you can create your own custom DCD rom using the new kitchen and DCD's latest build.
I've been using this for about 20 hrs and the rom is very stable.
Thanks again DCD u Da MAN!!!!!!!!
Make Sure to remove---> _fixed <---from the end of the file before u place it in the kitchens folder.

Errors in PPCkitchen
King - Thanks for putting this together
Unfortunately, I'm getting an error message (a bunch).
I downloaded the main file and did the updater.
When I go into BuildOS and select DCD 3.0.4 5054 or 5060, I am bombarded with error messages "Internal Error - Option.xml GUID not found (PROGRAM - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) where the "Program" is the name of the program and the x's are registry keys.
After I click ok 100 times to get through to the Kitchen, it allows me to select programs and build the OS, but once I install it, nothing actually gets installed on the phone.
Do you know what is causing this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Is this your first time using the kitchen?
King_tee - I had to do alot of editing to get ALL the errors to go away. I had to remove the welcomehead96.png, also had to remove a few other items.... like remotedesktop..... I guess I should have taken a log of what I did....
Edit - However - VERY nice job getting it to where it is..... Thank you
Thanks will try. The BuildOS in the regular kitchen is crashing so I can now cook a kitchen.
Also will my OEMs made for the 3.0.1 rom work if I put them in the build os directory. I didn't use the OEMizer w/ BuildOS. It appears to be the same just w/ a different save directory.

As of this morning, the version I downloaded still gives an error (can't find HTC Sliding Sound module) when trying to load the selections.txt file for the DCD kitchen.

The sliding sounds module is in the DCD OEM's folder......when u open it up in the kitchen it should come up as a selectable OEM. At then point all you have to do is select it.
Bell?
Does the kitchen work for Bell phones? It does not seem to be in the carrier list.

I don't know if it does.Are you are referring to the ppckitchen or DCD's Kitchen?
What i have provided is just a modified version of DCD's work (all credit goes to him) that will work in the ppckitchen.
You can check over here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=23206
if you are talking about the ppckitchen, and they should be able to answer your questions.
If you asking about the DCD kitchen you can ask over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385336 and im sure he will help you out.
I guess the obvious question is, what's the difference between the two kitchens?
DCD's kitchen is built around his ROM. The PPCkitchen kitchen isn't designed for any specific ROM or device.
Advantages of DCD's kitchen:
It's what DCD is using, so you know it builds his ROM like he intended it.
Advantages of PPCkitchen's kitchen:
Easy to install.
Prettier front end.
More error checking.
More OEMs to pick from.
Self updating.
Device dependency/exclusions supported
Carrier dependency/exclusions supported
OEM dependency/exclusions supported
Easy to move same configuration from one kitchen to the next.
Effortless switching between ROM configurations and kitchens
Splash/animation support

I honestly don't think you give DCD enough credit for his work.... Here are some more Advantages....
Easy to use
Builds a basic ROM with only 2 clicks of the mouse.
Can be used behind firewalls.
No IP logging when you use it. (I had been told this was logged with your login name)
In all fairness both systems work very well, while the PPC kitchen has a more elegant streamlined interface, I do believe the end result is the same, a working ROM the way "I" want it.

Could be because DCD has only a little to do with what we're talking about (which I gave him credit for). That's Bepe's buildos you're looking at, and essentially what we're comparing is Bepe's buildos w/ DCD integrated against PPCKitchen's buildos w/ DCD integrated.
You can't seriously suggest that Bepe's buildos is easier to use - the interface is practically identical! Both are about the same difficulty to use in their most basic, unaltered configurations, and both can build a basic rom w/ 2 clicks. Installing, configuring, starting, and maintaining is a lot different however...the nod hands down goes to ppckitchen there. Once you get past a basic configuration, PPCkitchen's buildos is unchallenged.
The proxy/firewall thing is fixed (general release this weekend) and it doesn't log IPs (never has).
Bepe's buildos get's the nod for no internet connection required, and the previous version (I don't know about v2) get's the nod for Linux compatible. Bepe's buildos also get's the nod for being more interfaceable to other projects and having more projects using it, but none of that is related to the original question (except maybe linux compatibility). [EDIT: v2 isn't native linux compatible, so no nod there.]
All of this is not too suprising, as PPCkitchen's buildos is, at it's core, an evolution of Bepe's Buildos.
I give credit to all sources DCD's kitchen / PPC Geeks kitchen and more.
They both offer the tools to make a ROM to your likings, some better then other, but the fact of the matter is that it gets the job done.
What PPC Geeks version is doing is making a bit more user friendly ( in my opinion ), but I still used DCD's kitchens because I really don't add any extra OEM's to my ROM's unless it is a specifically Themed ROM and then again I can get it done with both kitchens with ease.
I guess users will just have to test them both out themselves to see if they prefer one or the other.
What would be great is if we can have a Modifier / virtual simulator / kitchen where we can find ways to modify our ROM's / PPC's to their best potential ( such as drivers, RAM Management that works / compatibility with different OS and maybe interface change support ).
A virtual simulator to test out all of our modifications by simulating our respective device just as if we were to cook the ROM ( this could save tons of time rather then just flashing all the time or preventing an accidental bricking of your phone)
And a Universal kitchen for practically any Device ( well TITAN at least for our use ) that works on XP, Vista, MAC, and even Linux.
Im sure with all the developers on this forum and on ppcgeeks we would be able to get this done some time in the future.
Just an Idea....

PPCkitchen buildos is actually the closest you can come currently for easily swapping components around, and there's a universal kitchen here on xda that supports many devices (way more devices than PPCkitchen does).

You'll have to elaborate a little better. If I had to guess, however, I'd say that you might have an older version of winrar installed. As a workaround, you can manually extract and modify the selections to use the extracted dir instead of the .rar.
Now introducing... the HyperCore Athena ROM Kitchen!
First, though, props to anchillus and his HyperCore kitchen. I took it, and made a few small modifications so that it's built for the Athena instead.
Feature Highlight:
Since this is a full-blown ROM kitchen, you can tweak your own ROM however you like. You can do anything that you've seen other people do with their ROMs! All that customizability is at your disposal.
Prepopulated with Windows Mobile 6.1 from the HTC Diamond (5.2.19915).
Prepopulated with applications from the HTC X7501, HTC X7510, and HTC Diamond.
Pictures are not being posted because you already know what Windows Mobile looks like - it's up to you to make it look pretty.
Installation:
Unzip. The "Core" folder goes in as C:\Core. The "HyperCore" folder can go wherever you like; the default HyperCore installer puts it on your desktop.
If you're on SPL 1.2, you'll need to copy an SPL 1.2 OS.nb on top of HyperCore\Build\ROM\OS.nb.
Instructions:
If you want to get your hands dirty right away without reading through the HyperCore instructions, here's the extremely quick version (if you already know how to handle a ROM kitchen):
Make changes in HyperCore\Build. SYS contains the base Windows Mobile 6.1 files, while OEM contains folders that HTC or you provide.
Once you've tweaked SYS and OEM to your heart's content, under HyperCore\Panel\Build, run BuildOS. You'll need to run [1] and [2] to build OS.nb in HyperCore\Build, and then [3] to convert OS.nb to RUU_signed.nbh.
Flash your ROM onto your phone.
...
...
Profit! (j/k)
If you encounter the endless customization loop problem, edit HyperCore\Build\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat, then find and remove the section for AutoRun.
Known issues/concerns:
The XIP is the XIP from AP 5.0 beta (build 19588.1.1.4, which was from the Sony X1 Xperia ROM). I've tried to generate a matching XIP for the ROM, but it won't boot. Anybody around here know how to create a good XIP?
There seem to be some issues with the Bluetooth OBEX service not being able to start. That's true of this ROM as well. It's able to send files to a PC without a problem, but it can't receive files (although it can copy them).
Even though screen rotation works both in the operating system and in HTC Album, HTC Album's screen rotation has the chance to screw up the operating system's screen rotation. A workaround is to use an application that can restart services (such as the FdcSoft Task Manager) to restart HTC Sensor Service (Athena).
Although the phone skin does work on 128 and 96 dpi, the speed dial application can act flaky and start drawing itself off-screen, which can trigger an error. One workaround is to dial a single number, then rotate the screen, which forces a redraw, after which it functions properly.
The VGA HTC Home plugin could be in slightly better shape. The TabSetting registry entry doesn't seem to work (or at least nobody's responded to me here yet), and the Profile tab shows a keyboard vibration option that, naturally, doesn't work.
The enlarged start menu has some icon overlap on 128 dpi.
The nifty System Status popup on 96 dpi seems to trigger just to the left of the connectivity indicator, while not triggering on the connectivity or signal strength indicators. It does work, just a little strangely on the other dpi settings.
Sym-A now generates the _ character instead of the $ character.
During phone calls, the number keypad is active instead of the alphabetic keyboard.
NOTE:
Much as with Athena Project Kitchen, this ROM kitchen is not to be used for releasing ROMs. It's for personal use only. We really don't need twenty-billion ROMs flooding this forum from everybody who wants that one little tweak.
Exceptions can be made for people who have demonstrated a solid history of producing ROMs. Ask if you feel like you have a strong case for why your ROMs need this kitchen. The current exception list: irus.

Fixes/patches:
Attached to this post. Replace:
HyperCore\Tools\RUU\Athena_RUU.exe with the one from Athena_RUU.zip
Core\ACK\Settings.txt (Updated: July 20, 2008)
I'll be adding additional information to the next few posts over the next several days as time permits (and questions pop up).
P.S. The restriction about personal use isn't about elitism. It's about keeping the forum organized. I just don't want to see every other thread in the forum being a ROM release thread, and there's no reason to make sergiopi's job harder by making him keep track of dozens of minimally different ROMs.
Additional OEMs
NOTE: If you're add OEM packages with modules, you will want to run G'Reloc in your HyperCore\Build directory before you run BuildOS.
HTC EzInput 1.5.31226.0/HTC XT9 1.5.31232.0:
A keyboard designed for use with fingers. There are two large button keyboards (portrait and landscape versions), along with a phone keypad keyboard. The portrait/landscape keyboards swap automatically with the screen orientation. Only works properly in 192 dpi.
Megaupload
HTC LongPressEndKey 1.1.33562.2:
A nifty quick menu program that provides a number of convenient functions. A little less useful on the Athena due to, well, the lack of an end key, but potentially useful regardless. Not tested in other resolutions yet, but likely only works properly in 192 dpi.
Megaupload
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5.7283.00:
Required for running .NET Compact Framework programs. Meant to replace SYS\NetCF.
Megaupload
WkTask 1.1.7.3c:
A task manager that alters the taskbar to function more like that in traditional Windows, in addition to providing a battery bar and task launcher.
Megaupload
If you would like to change your extended ROM to add packages there for automated installation upon hard reset, you can use the extended ROM editor. You can then convert that with Dutty's NBH tool (available in the kitchen in HyperCore\Tools\Convert) and reflash.
Kitchen Tweaks/Suggestions
Additional OEM Packages:
It's quite possible to find OEM packages out there for quite a bit of software, in order to save yourself time in making your own. If you can't find one, though, there are a number of links on how to assemble your own OEM package - for example, there's a wiki article about making your own OEM package, which also has a bunch of links to existing OEM packages. Just be aware that most of the OEM packages you'll find out there are designed for 96 dpi, and thus may not work on the Athena the way you might expect - the Spb applications are a pretty good example of these, as they come with separate VGA resources.
Package Recommendations:
If you're going to make registry changes, it's usually a good idea to make a custom EM package to contain them. I would recommend using the UUID ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff, as that will force it to be the last registry file processed (ensuring that your registry entries "win" over those in any other OEM packages).
Package Dependencies:
PACKAGE_Diamond_Album_HTC_ALL can't function properly without PACKAGE_Diamond_HTCGesture, PACKAGE_Diamond_SensorSDK, and X7510_GSensor
PACKAGE_Diamond_VolumeControl depends upon resources in Diamond_LargeTitleBar
RealVGA_DPI_96 depends upon the *_DPI_96 directories in SYS
RealVGA_DPI_128 depends upon the *_DPI_128 directories in SYS
X7510_AudioManager refers to X7510_AudioBooster (menu option)
X7510_TouchFlo depends upon PACKAGE_Diamond_SmartTouch
PROVXML Changes:
If you want to change how your ROM thinks of itself, change HyperCore\Build\OEM\OEMVERSION\mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml. ROMVersion is currently set to "Athena_6.1", but feel free to change that to whatever you like.
Registry Changes:
Here's a starter list of potential registry changes.
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\MicroDrive\Internet Explorer\Cache"
"History"="\MicroDrive\Internet Explorer\History"
Move your Pocket IE cache and history to your MicroDrive.
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000008
Increase the number of simultaneous connections Pocket IE makes to servers to 8.
Code:
[HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}]
"AEFrequencyType"=dword:00000002
Prevent Windows Mobile from screen-locking while plugged in.
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation]
"4-Way Nav"=dword:00000000
Have Pocket IE-based widgets scroll by screen, not by link.
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:00000000
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Enable the Today Screen Wireless plugin.
Code:
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]

Go back to sleep faster when auto-waking (60 seconds).
Code:
[HKLM\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00008000
Increase the graphical caching. A good size has not yet been determined, although this is the value often recommended for QVGA devices (a VGA device likely needs more).
Code:
[HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
"CS"=dword:00001000
Increase font caching.
Code:
[HKLM\System\GWE]
"Animate"=dword:00000000
Disable window animation.
Code:
[HKLM\System\GWE\Menu]
"AniType"=dword:00000000
Disable Start Menu animation.

That's the thing, though - it doesn't matter much to me that it displays the XIP/system version there. Now, if other people care enough to go and change that, it's entirely up to them.

Hi
I have been cooking ROMs for a week or so now and all has been great. I can't recall making any major changes, but I now get the following when the phone does it's initial boot (and every boot after that)...
"The file 'poutlook' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate? or one of its components cannot be found..." And I can't do anything. i have searched but i have nothing found related to this problem
I am using (and have been using) IOLITE 20765 ROM and SYS and OEM 5.50.
I have made no major changes - I was testing other ROM's and SYS's, but I have reverted back to 20765 and I get this error - I never got this error on the other versions of ROM's and SYS's.
I have also redownloaded the files and created a new Kitchen folder to cook in...
Please can someone help???
DT
An update.
Redownloaded SYS, ROM, OEM and Kitchen 1.2b and started from scratch. It now works, so I am not sure what the heck I did to the other folders ...but I am sure glad it is functioning again
Can anyone tell me how to associate extensions with a program? any images I have defaults to opening them in the Camera app (not sure why) - I want them like before - except I am not sure what app the standard WM6.1 opens images in - can some one advise please?
Thanks

That's why we have HardSPL. Some cooked ROMs will not even boot. In those cases, take battery out, replace battery, turn phone on with camera button held down. This will drop phone into bootloader mode and allow a new ROM to be flashed.

These associations are done in registry. For packages, you need to hunt through the kitchen for the registry and make the appropriate changes.
When I needed to change association for videos to TCPMP, the way I took was:
1) Snapshot of registry
2) Ran TCPMP. Made the association changes in its options.
3) Resnapshot registry.
4) Compare the changes.
5) Scan through the entire kitchen and find and substitute the registry keys in the RGU files and also .dat files
6) An alternative is to create a registry change, to be applied after the main ROM is built (or run at first bootup) like all the registry packages.
Total Commander is great for this. It allow search of strings of text within files in a folder and display all files with the search text. It also allows comparison of 2 files, and highlights the differences. Good luck. This is very time consuming.
*** MOVED! The dev thread for this app is now in Development and Hacking, HERE
---original post---
I recently got into cooking my own personal ROMs, and realized that every time I get a new kitchen/ROM or flash a new radio, I have to make sure the rilphone.dll file is the correct one for my radio. Well, more accurately, I realized how annoying it can be.
Yes, it can be done with UC and the appropriate CAB for the user's current radio, but I wanted to create an easier way to do it so that the user doesn't have to think about it. Considering how many times the TP/Fuze keyboard layout question is asked here, I'd say any kind of automation is good automation
My answer to this issue is rilphoneAuto.exe, a .NET CF 2.0 app that reads the user's current radio version, determines if the appropriate RIL DLL is available (through a configuration XML file), and edits the "DLL" entry under HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL to point to this particular DLL.
In order for this app to work, you have to include all the RIL DLLs you'd like to support in your ROM, and change the rilphoneAuto.xml file to have an entry for each of those DLLs. It's a very simple format, don't worry
I have attached version 1.0 of rilphoneAuto in OEM and EXT formats. Both attachments contain the app, RIL DLLs version 1.12.25.19 and 1.14.25.05, and the XML config file preconfigured with the aforementioned DLLs.
*** IMPORTANT: You must add rilphoneAuto to one of your config*.txt files in order for the app to start on first boot customization. I don't know if that can be done from inside the OEM or EXT packages. The line you'll need to add is:
Code:
EXEC:\Windows\rilphoneAuto.exe
Please leave feedback. Thanks!
Looks like a good addition, i'll try it out on my ROMs.
frickin awesome!
you should post this on the development & hacking forum, a lot of other devices users could use this too!
Good idea. I'll do that.
awesome as hell for all the users into radio switching and even those who arent. they'll have improved functionality and not even know it, just by flashing their radio.
so this is in the rom i just updated to
if i change my radio after the initial boot does the phone change the necasarry settings? or is it now up to me?
thanks
rilphoneAuto should only run on first boot, so if you changed your radio, you should re-run it by executing \Windows\rilphoneAuto.exe and then rebooting.
I've been struggling over the past few days trying to get the latest AT&T ROM working in a kitchen. I've tried three different workstations and two Virtual Machines assuming it was an environmental issue.
As a result, I decided to create a fresh new "old style" (PkgToolsBuildOS) kitchen on the assumption that something was wrong with my kitchens.
Noticed the following anomalies in the fresh new kitchen:
1) XIP.BIN / OS.NB.PAYLOAD
Noticed that when performing a Find Date/Rom Version on PAYLOAD or Find Date/ROM Version on XIP_OUT.BIN using XIPPORTEREX 1.2 rev32 , I get the following information:
Date: 06/May/2009
Rom Version: [K] InitDr
I've used the standard process that I always use which yields a working OS.NB.PAYLOAD and even validated it against Aruppenthal & Da_G's sk00ling.
Essentially: PP Unlock, NoCert Patch, PP = 6 MB ... same OEMXIP & MSIXP kernel for now just to try and get it to work.
2) Compiled ROM
If I change the ROM Version & update the Date (as per usual), the ROM compiles fine and boots. However, I am unable to connect to browse the Internet even though the 3G/H data connection appear indicating that a connection is established.
The ROM, OEM, SYS are all 20771 (5.511.502.2) for now just to try and get it to work using my Rogers SIM.
Has anyone else run into similar anomalies before? Cause I'd sure love to know what the heck I'm missing/doing wrong.
* EDIT *
Some of the "paranoid" measures I have done: Rootkit Scan, Full Anti-Virus Scan, Mem Test, Hard Drive Diag, CHKDSK, Restart, typical IT stuff ...
I'm not really sure what could be wrong, but if you need the dump set up for Visual, I had no problems dumping it and uploaded the untouched "Kitchen" to my FTP. Its labeled correctly as the build number 5.11.xxxx. I wish Icould help more, as you have helped me out a bunch.
EDIT: I did dump a ROM recently and got the same Version ID with xipporter as you have mentioned, but thought nothing of it. And I dont remember which it was, so sorry still not very helpful.
The ROM Version "garbage" is odd and IMHO should not be like that - your confirmation that you saw the same thing is very helpful ... at least I'm not losing my mind completely.
I'm trying to keep a PkgToolsBuildOS (5.3) and a Visual Kitchen (9.8) going for folks to use.
I had gone through all of the effort to port 21051 (SYS) and 20771 (OEM) in the hopes of posting it up before the end of the weekend ... then I started running into these unexplained issues and ended up scrubbing the lot.
I'm in the midst of recreating a new Visual Kitchen (9.8) and am discovering additional files in the OEM folder that weren't there before in older versions of the Visual Kitchen - not sure what it means yet; sure hope it doesn't mean having to recreate a kitchen everytime there's an update to the tools.
Cheers,

Several of the new builds are this way. Its because the date info has been moved. Until someone figures out which part needs hex edited we are stuck with stock dat Version changes fine.
Are you saying that we should *no longer* be changing the ROM Version and ROM Date?
In my case the Date "looked" ok but the ROM Version was bogus.
Which leads to these questions:
Does this also mean that PagePool Unlock, NoCert Patching, PagePool sizing are also in jeopardy of moving? (I know you or others won't have an answer for this one as it's in the hands of the OEM).
Does this mean that PkgToolsBuildOS kitchens and supporting tools are now at end-of-life?
Hate that when I forget to read the memo
UPDATE
Well, after an all-nighter ...
I can confirm that attempting to change the ROM Version and/or ROM Date via XIPPorterEX, PkgToolsBuildOS6.x-5.3, or Visual Kitchen 9.8 will indeed mess up the ROM - at least on the Raphael.

So am I correct in assuming that when I change the PP in the 21806 version (as posted by Da_G) it is not really changing the PP. I did wonder why the amount of RAM didnt increase

The PagePool seems ok on my 6.1 builds at the moment but Da_G could best confirm that as he's been on this "circuit" way longer than I.
An observation I made, while I've been working on this, is that the PP size on the AT&T 5.11.502.2 seems to be set 1MB ... at least that's what XIPPorterEX 1.2 rev32 reports when I issue a change to the PagePool to 16MB on a non-reduced ULDR os.nb.payload.
Hmmm, Wonder why when I change my PP to 0 I still only have 197mb Total instead of about 213mb total? Might have to do a test and set it higher to see if my free space decreases
UPDATE: Direct From Da_Grand Pubba ...
Just had a quick chat with Da_G and he confirms that there's been a change in the XIP modules.
At first glance, he noticed that the NK.EXE module has three (3) new resource strings. So in short, if the ROM Version happens to display [K] InitDr (which is [K] InitDriverGlobals) DO NOT attempt to change the Date/ROM Version.
He also had a quick look for Certificate Patching, PagePool Unlock, and PagePool resizing - these appear to be untouched at the moment.
HTH,
