Hi I'm not that new to cooking ROMS, but I'm by no means an expert when it comes to making one myself.
I have been reading and reading and searching but I can't find a nice clean easy to use kitchen for the GSM Touch Pro anywhere.
My Touch Pro(actually, it's an AT&T Fuze) will be arriving this Thursday(Jan 15th) and I would really love to be able to build my own custom ROM and possibly release it to the community but the community seems to be somewhat lacking in the "Kitchen Department".
I took a good look at NotATreoFan's kitchen. Every OEM is lacking an option.xml file and there are no tools included to actually build the ROM.
I looked at jcespi2005 and JugglerLKR's kitchen and that kitchen seems very non-user friendly.
Coming back to GSM from a CDMA Community, may I ask why there are no complete, user-friendly kitchens here in the GSM world? CDMA has the PPCKitchen, they have tobeychris&Ghettofreeryder's Diamond Kitchen, and they have electronicrice's kitchen for the Touch Pro(CDMA).
I just don't understand why no kitchen like that exists for the GSM Touch Pro. I think it's a really good idea to have a user-friendly kitchen because then anyone can make their own custom ROMs and then you have more variety because everyone has their own style.
Just my 2 cents...
Dan.
i prefer using jcespi's kitchen it is very userfriendly.
On xda you can find the simple steps.
Or do you want a kitchen that does everything on command at it own
just kidding here's a link http://rapidshare.com/files/151114881/Raphael_ROM_Kitchen_v0.62.rar
hmm, the raph kitchens buildos looks almost exactly like ppckitchens buildos, but instead of holding your hand it gives you freedom..
if you prefer the easy to use gui with pre assembled packages, why not use ppckitchen?

I agree, it's too automatic-- no offense, but I want the chef shaping the ROM and not the kitchen Always nice to have personal touch

Yeah I gotta agree with that. Ive tried ppckitchen and i couldnt handle the lack of control over my files.
If you comfortable with splitting out the payload give Da_Gs kitchen a look. It is fast and has the newest build OS which i think is more efficient. Its posted in the raphael kitchen thread on one of the last pages.
If it helps ive got a small tool which will make the option.xml files in batch form?
Simple process:
get your packages into a common folder
make sure they all have a dsm inside with a valid guid
drag the common folder onto the program
type in the group name you want
the tool creates the option.xml for each package with its name being the folder name and the group being that which you entered at the start.
it defaults the checked values to "true" aswell.
Am at work at the mo so cant post it but will do when i get home if thats any help to anyone?

Guys
I'm all about getting into this stuff forehead deep so I grabbed jcespi's kitchen tossed my nbh from the stock cingular rom for the fuze just to get started to see if I could figure this out. Am reading through his docu's but I'm a conceptual techie I can talk it but in the onset rely on advice and coaching that being said none of you are baby sitter. Where would you suggest someone in dilemma start; I'd like to contribute more can pick up stuff pretty quickly just need a good starting place to get the hang of this so I too can where maybe a chef's bandana lol. Any advice is as always much appreciated!
While I'm primarily a conceptual techie; I do get my hands dirty once they are dirty enough I won't ask the redundant and sometimes dumbe questions... I promise ... going to download that other kitchen referenced above as I am more of a visual learner and don't mind microwaving some ROMs before I actually pan fry or bake anything.
Thanks again!

This is exactly why I posted this. I'm not looking for a GUI kitchen or anything like that but I am looking for a base kitchen that doesn't involve extensive modification before it can be used.
I will have my Touch Pro by tomorrow afternoon and I want to be able to contribute to the GSM community just like I did for the CDMA community.
i read this thread so here you go:

(oem rom sys in my thread will work with this, ill make an easier to use one later)
Obviously you didn't read my idiots guide for rom ccoking & use the easybake kitchen, which makes roms with five easy steps involving only deleting or adding packages & 4 mouse clicks.

Actually I did read that and I'm not a fan of that method. I prefer a clean base and not a decompiled carrier ROM. Decomped carrier ROMS can become very messy very fast...
I feel like a noob having to ask this, but are there any cooks around here that are using Bepe's Platformrebuilder? I've made several ROMs for my AT&T Fuze using Raphael Kitchen and I have a fair amount of experience cooking for my old ELF. I recently decided to give Platformrebuilder a go, but am having problems.
I follow along with the video tutorial and am able to create a ROM without errors. The problem is that it hangs on the splash screen after flashing. Normally I would see a hang like this if I made a registry error, but in this case I am cooking a stock ROM with no changes.
Do I need to modify anything before I can cook a stock ROM? I shouldn't need to port anything since I am working with an official hTC ROM. There are not that many references to people using Platformrebuilder, so I'm not sure where else to go for help. The Platformrebuilder forum is not very active.
Thanks,
TrueG
What version of platformrebuilder are u using?
I downloaded the stock kitchen & tools and then applied the update to 2.1.
While reading the Platformrebuilder comments over in the darkforcesteam forums I read a mention that v2.1 added support for AKU5. This made me think that maybe the new version was causing me problems. I extracted the original platformrebuilder.exe from the BASIC_RK.rar and copied over the 2.1 version and voila problem solved. Without changing anything in the kitchen, I built a new ROM and this time it didn't freeze at the splash screen.
I guess I will post this over in the darkforcesteam forum, though I don't know why this wouldn't have come up already.
UPDATE: !Aman! pointed out to me that I need to add 'set OLDKERNEL=1' to 'build_rom.bat' when using the updated exe (v2.1). This variable was not used in the original kitchen, so it needs to be added manually if you use the updated exe. The variable was added to support WM 6.5 ROMs (AKU5). It was not covered in the video tutorial (tutorial was released before update) and the notes are not clear unless you know what AKU5 is. Thanks to !Aman! and ark666 for responding to my questions. =)

Think Dev_Id and Chunk are correct, but don't know about OS_Id (shouldn't it be 0x400)?
Were can you find this info? Anybody?

edit:I tryed to upload a visual kitchen you can create a kitchenfor iolite with it, but it wouldn´t upload. Lay in hospital - use UMTS surfstick
Me utilities interest to disassemble build... How xip to get?
When I´m back from hospital, I´ll give some files for cooking, but not the entire kitchen. Will be 1,03 GB!
I can is wrong I am expressed! I translate from the translator. I have a native assembly, it is necessary to disassemble on SYS, OEM and XIP. What program can be made it?
Ervius visual kitchen works.
I shall go to search. Thanks!
P.S. What devices are assorted by this kitchen?
I am building my custom ROM in the Jucy 7 kitchen. i want to add my own programs (all CABs) into the rom, but i do not know how to do so. if someone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Well you need Package Creator to convert Cab to OEM, and depending on where what type of kitchen you have, you need pkg tools as well. Search for them using the link in my sign.
edit for awesomeness
nevermind
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.
