INSTALLING "ERVIUS VISUAL KITCHEN" ===> If you download Kitchen tools only
1. Download the Kitchen tools, and extract it.
2. run "Erviuskitchen.exe", it will give error, just click OK until the window appear.
3. Prepare your Base Working ROM and Unprotected, I suggest you can use Krazy 21051 ROM, put it in the folder and name it "Base ROM", only this ROM in the folder.
4. Click "Dump nbh/nb/payload", and navigate to the Base ROM, a window will appear during process, just click OK and wait until finish.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It will make folder dump inside folder Base ROM, and that is your kitchen for 21054. By extracting it we have: XIP, os.nb.payload, romhdr.bin that will be use to create all ROM.
Note: If you dump Old GENE, it will work only for OLD GENE, and either for NEW GENE. the different only in XIP. You can replace the xip for it.
CONTENT OF 21844 KITCHEN
This is the kitchen root preview in Windows Explorer:
1. EXT Folder
The External packages (EXT) folder is divided into Device Specific folders and a Shared folder:
*Device Specific folders are typically used for files (packages) that should only be applied to a specific type of the device.
Each Device Specific folder is further divided into Operating System Build Version Specific folders and a Common folder.
*Operating System Build Version Specific folders are typically used for files (packages) that should only be applied to a specific build (version) of Operating System. The Common folder is typically used for files (packages) that can be installed on any Operating System build version.
2. OEM Folder
The OEM folder can contain multiple Device Specific folders.
*Each Device Specific folder is further divided into Locale Specific folders and a Common folder.
*The Common folder is typically used for files (packages) that can be installed in any locale – not specific to a language.
*Locale Specific folders are typically used for files (packages) that should only be applied to a specific locale.
3. ROM Folder
The ROM folder is divided into Device Specific folders and a Shared folder.
*The Shared folder is typically used for kernel system files that are compatible amongst devices. (MSXIPKERNEL folder)
*Device Specific folders are typically used for kernel system files that should only be applied to a specific type of the device. (OEMXIPKERNEL folder)
-The Shared folder is further divided into Operating System Build Version Specific folders. Operating System Build Version Specific folders are typically used for kernel system files that should only be applied to a specific build (version) of Operating System.
-Each Device Specific folder is further divided into Operating System Build Version Specific folders.
4. SYS Folder
The system (SYS) folder is divided into Operating System Build Version Specific folders.
*The Build Version Specific folders will often contain files (packages) specific to the device DPI (Dot Per Inch) and Horizontal/Vertical display size.
*Each Operating System Build Version Specific folder is further divided into a ROM DPI, ROM Resolution, and Shared folder – providing a significant amount of flexibility during ROM compilation.
*The ROM DPI, ROM Resolution, and Shared folders are further divided into Locale Specific folders and a Common folder.
*The Common folder is typically used for system files (packages) that can be installed in any locale – not specific to a language.
*Locale Specific folders are typically used for system files (packages) that should only be applied to a specific locale – for example, 0409 (English).

Updating visual kitchen with new build
UPDATING VISUAL KITCHEN WITH NEW BUILD
We assume to update my 21844 visual kitchen for OLD GENE with newer Build (example 23034).
A. EXT
1. In the EXT\OLDGENE create a new empty folder with the name of the build (example 23034).
2. copy the folder “OLDGENE_External_Packages” inside EXT\OLDGENE\21844 to EXT\OLDGENE\23034.
Now you extended packages is ready
B. OEM
No need to modify this Folder
C. ROM
1. In the ROM\ OLDGENE Folder, create a new folder with the name of the build (example 23034). Copy the OEMXipKernel folder from ROM\ OLDGENE \21844 into this folder as shown below:
2. in the ROM\Shared Folder, create a new folder with the name of the build (example 23034). Copy the MSXipKernel folder from New Build into this folder as shown above.
D. SYS
In the SYS Folder, create a new folder with the name of the build (example 23034). Copy the SYS from the new Build into this folder as shown below:
Now your NEW BUILD KITCHEN IS READY
DUMP XIP.BIN TO GET MSXIPKernel
TO make a new build ROM, we need MSXIPKernel, and sometime people only provide xip.bin of the new build.If it happens we need to dump it to get MSXIPKernel, download that file, and dump it with XIPPort.exe, here is the tools.:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125449740/a1b9e454/XIPPort.html
Now, put the attached file and the xip.bin in the same folder, then run XIPPort.exe, click “dump xip.bin” and wait until folder “OUT” appear, then click “make pkgs”, close the XIPPort.exe.
Go to folder “out” and you will find “Files and Modules” folder, inside each folder, you will find folder MSXIPKernel. Move the module inside OUT\MODULES\MSXIPKernel to OUT\FILES\MSXIPKernel, now you have the MSXIPKernel. And don’t forget to delete any *.txt file inside MSXIPKernel.

Why did you say incompatible? I build my 21844 ROM with it and it work great, XPR or LZX compression work, PP change also work. The feature that aren't work only udrl & imgsf start address, GENE don't have UDLR partition.
The only thing you must do are put the right file in the right place.
If you want, I can upload my 21844 kitchen.
