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.

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!)
EDIT: How Can I Easily Make a Sidescrolling Platformer Using An Easy Scripting Language For Android

Nobody Answered Yet I Modified My Post
Im Really Eager to start Making Simple Platforming Games For Android
bump Someone please post
There is no easy way. Anything that is worth doing is always worth the work you need to do.
Here is a Java-Script Builder
Don't know if you know anything about writing script or anything but you can PM(private message) me with an email address and I'll send you a zipped attatchment with a program for windows pc. It's called Sencha-Touch 1.1.1 App Maker.
I'm sure if your running windows on your PC and your here then you already have java runtime. Just update it if necessary at Java.com. Just click where it says "Do I Have Java" to check and update your version.
You will probably also have to go to Oracle(the java website) and download and install the "Java SE 7u2" for developers from the download section.
If you Need direct links to the Java's, I will include them in email to you.
Hope this gives ya some insight.
Can't get the zip to upload to an email but can give ya the website link in one. Don't think I'm allowed to post outside links.

Have you tried out DaVinci Studio? it's a dev tool based on HTML5 and JavaScript...
You can get it for free at their website and ask questions on their forum if you need help with it.
Eclipse + Android SDK
I highly recommend using the standard Eclipse setup with the Android SDK. Java is pretty easy to learn, and can create games that are very simple to complex. I was confused where to start off as well, and tried out AndEngine. There isn't much documantation for AndEngine, so I followed Kilobolt's tutorial on game development. One of the best tutorials of programming that I have ever seen. I am working on a platformer at the moment, and everything is going pretty well. In simple, google "Kilobolt". He has tutorials for setting everything up. However, the tutorial begins with standard Java development, and Android comes into play when you are ready to port the game. Good Luck. :good:
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.
