Hello,
Do we have a really easy kitchen that some one like me (new for cooking roms) can use to remove or add new application from any stock rom for Topaz/TD2?
So what I am looking for is:
- A Clean / GUI based Kitchen where I can select the Original ROM (.nbh file)
- It will list the features/apps inside this
- Allow Remove/Add
- Rebuild
Thanks.
I'm looking for the same,a simple tool.
Yeah, that would be great. To make a ROM that fits YOUR needs.
Started Work
After some reading in forums I started with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669414 link and using osKitchne as my start point, which looks easy till now.

I will keep updating here on go...
Thanks.
Thanks! That kitchen had a simple GUI. But is there a kitchen that's even more simple?

For me or any beginner (used to windows applications) the osKitchen should be very easy as it has simple import and UI to do changes.
I know I am stuck with several area while using the kitchen... but that need learning and I am doing that now .
Thanks.

I just upgraded to special ROM v1.2. I like it very much and would like to thanks all the guys made this possible.
My problem is that i don't want some of the applications given with the above mentioned ROM v1.2.
Is it possible to delete what i don't like, especially the little icons on the "today screen"?
Or i should use the original O2 UK ROM and then add the applications i like?
in the "remove programs" utility i don't see any of the application installed, is it because they are "inside" the ROM?
Thanks in advance
Yes they are in rom, if you go to the rom kitchen you can choose which programs you want included in your rom.
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/
I see, but if i don't have a unix machine how can i make my own rom? is there a kitchen to cook roms under win?
dNuOs
If you followed the link you will see that you can choose your base rom and then tick any of the other programs that you want to include in it, within memory constraints, you then go to the base of the screen and click to cook the rom, once cooked you can download it and then burn it into your xda via exe method or sd method, the kitchen runs on unix but you dont need unix to use the cooked roms as you will know having used the 1.2 special edition rom. I hope this helps.
this is rom for new gene ie ht8xxxxx
nothing new just port xip sys for new gene
original rom
here is kitchen only work for new gene
part1 part2
extract all file in same folder
Thank you for the same. Just for the sake of curiosity, how much RAM is available free, on startup, in this ROM?
Hey Ankit, you did it yourself? have you found out the kitchen?
After reading the original thread, i guess there are many unsolved issues with this ROM. Calculator doesn't works, calender gives problem, powerpoint gives some certificate error, No java etc. And i think this also does not include Windows Live.
So i dont think its worth an upgrade. This ROM needs some serious tweaking before i can use it. I haven't installed this ROM but i got all this conclusion from the original thread. Is anybody's experience better with this ROM?

i port xip sys first then use Ramersonw's Kitchen (some modification required )
i will upload kitchen tonight so u modify it
because my exam is there i not be able to Cook rom
can u post some screen shots plzzz..if u hav any
thnx
@ankit360: I would really appreciate it buddy if you share with me the details of the process of XIP porting you gone through. I want to learn the whole process as its quiet an important information to cook a ROM successfully. After knowing all this, i would be able to create ROMs and share them with our friends here.
Its really great man! you learned the process so quickly. Hats off to you!
Hey Ankit,
I tried this ROM. Its clean and ultra fast and very little problems. I am sure if they are ironed out, this could be an ultimate ROM for Gene. i have written about the problems in my previous post. In addition to those here is another one.
I tried installing windows live on this rom too but it didn't worked. Since this is a quiet clean ROM with no Windows Live in ROM, there is no possibility of any conflict. I think the problem is related to some certificates.
I examined my original WM 6 ROM and found that All the ROMs in this forum contains all the other certificates except these two from HTC on the top of the list, see the attached files.
I think this could be the cause of all the Windows Live problems as may be since these certificates are not present, windows live is unable to communicate with the server over an encrypted ssl connection.
What do you think?
I will try to extract these out of the ROM. You try yourself too and PM me if there is any success.
can u list out all bug so i will try to fix it
Just trying out your ROM, its lightning fast!
Thanks for the ROM
60 MB free after restoration of around 300 contacts! Wow, Gr8 Word
@ankit360: OK, here is the list of bugs:
1. Calculator is not working. Reports a missing file "\windows\spbcalc_p.gif".
2. Calender not working.
3. Java runtime is not included (if you correct this error and insert a java runtime, use the latest JBed version, it is the only runtime that can run opera mini fullscreen)
4. Powerpoint shortcut not working. It needs a change in registry. If you click the shortcut it will say some certificate thing but thats not true. The shortcut points to the shortname :MSPOWERPINT. These shortnames are created in registry and the path to powerpoint exe is not correctly given there. either correcting the path in registry or making the shortcut directly point to the powerpoint executable will correct this error.
5. Small bug but there is no option to set the device lock (password when the phone is restarted)
6. No Transcriber (Not really a bug but i need it)
7. Clock canot be set to 12 hour format. it always returns to 24 hour format.
8. Search feature that comes with default windows mobile has been removed.
9. Tabs in HTC home show up even when they are removed from settings>today>htc home setting. It happens sometimes only i think.
10. Windows Live not working at all even after installing the official cab. I tried about 10 cabs from this forum. Nothing worked. It confirms that the issue is not due to conflict with older version of live on ROM coz this ROM doesn't have windows live on it.
Thats all i can think of right now. Will post more if i find some.
man i don't have time to fix this issue bcoz my exam is there
i make kitchen for this rom work only for new gene
try to fix bug and release some nice rom
happy rom cooking
part1 part2
extract all file in same folder
Hey ankit,
I have succeeded in porting the XIP of the default kitchen given by Ramersonw by using my original Wm 6 XIP as base. I have created a ROM based on that kitchen which i will post tomorrow as i am currently uploading both of these.
The kitchen is working perfectly for new GENE and i am 90% sure that i'll be able to port most of the ROMs using this kitchen. Will post kitchen on the Ramersonw's thread also.
that's grate news plz post only xip or changes u made is default kitchens i will not able to download whole because i don;t have enough bandwidth
Hi Ankit,
I am uploading the zip file with changes only. Here is the link for it. And dont forget to read the Readme.txt i have included in it. I am also uploading the ROM i created. Wait for the new ROM thread. Here is the address for the zip file:
http://cid-988261b694475a67.skydriv...gesOnly|_for|_NewGene|_Kitchen|_Ramersonw.zip
thanks for sharing file i will test it
i want to know is ur xip porting procedure is work on different gene rom ?
my xip port procedure work on only this rom
My XIP will work on any ROM which has the same version of WM 6.1. Actually buddy, as you might already know, what happens is that XIP contains a portion of the main files of the WIndows Mobile operating system which are executed without loading into main ram. That is why this part is called XIP (eXecute In Place). So These files have to be the exact same version as the rest of the OS. My XIP is from CE OS 5.2.20931 (Build 20931.1.5.0) so all the ROMs that use this version of WM 6.1 can use this XIP as base.
And this is true for your ROM too. You can use the XIP with any ROM with same version and build no.
I hope i have made myself clear but feel free to ask more.
thanks for info man i really don't known this
Sorry for bumping this.
I have installed this ROM, And I really liked this. It has fastest responce times, and the most Available RAM, from all the ROM's for Gene(More than 25% using even after 2 Hrs of use.)
So Ankit or Sumit, if you have time, will you please modify this rom (I still need to learn cooking.)
Download Java - JBed
Attached the spbcalc_p.gif. Placing it in windows dir, works.
Thanks
Sumit
brother Sumit / Ankit: Please cook and release for Old Gene also.
So, after some experiences with new Da_G kitchen I decided to publish my kitchen which will able you to cook a ROM in PROven-style but 100% customizable by you
1. What's in?
ervius 5.1 visual kitchen
***
20764 build (from original HTC WM6.1 ROM)
21210 build (from Da_G kitchen)
21501 build (ported by me from files shared by Conflipper)
***
0409 WWE localisation
0415 PLK localisation
***
OEM packages which I'm using in PROven ROMs, converted by me to EXT layout)
***
sample configurations for WWE and PLK ROMs to get you familiar with new kitchen​
2. Greetings
I want to thank all people around this forum which are sharing their knowledge with me, especially: Da_G, ervius, arrupenthal, Conflipper, At0mang ...
3. User Manual
First create a directory called "PROven kitchen" and download all files into it (I decided to divide kitchen into smallest parts to avoid donwloading everything when small upgrades will come), unpack. After that you will have:
EXT directory
OEM directory
RELEASE_Raphael directory
ROM directory
SYS directory
Tools directory
Erviuskitchen.exe file
Now click on "Erviuskitchen.exe" file and you'll see main window of kitchen.
Rest of tutorial I will base on example: let's assume that you want to build WM6.5 ROM with English interface (0409) and based on 21501 build and 21501 XIP. To do this just follow next steps:
- choose RAPHAEL from DEVICE window (it's already displayed but you have to choose it once again to start process)
- choose 0409 from Language window
- choose 21501 from XIP Build window
- choose 2501 from SYS Build window
After that you'll see in main window list of packages which can be included/excluded in/from your ROM
First column is saying if package is included or not - by default all packages are marked to be inlcuded into ROM. You can change status bo double click on the package name.
Package names which begin with digit mean that you can choose only one from this category. Example - in "SHARED-devices: Multimedia folder" you can see:
1a.JbedJava_0_0_20081121_2_1
1b.JBlendJava_0_0_20080507_1_1
so you can choose your favourite version...
When you'll finish package choosing just simply click on "Create ROM" button to start cooking. After appr 10 min you'll see "DONE" message in bottom window - now just go to RELEASE_Raphael directory and flash new ROM, v'oila
!!!Important remark!!! if you are cooking WM6.5 ROM for Raphael, don't forget to check also "Real WM 6.5 AKU" option, otherwise your cooked ROM will not boot !!!
!!!Important remark #2!!! This is a kitchen - like in normal kitchen, when you prepare a meal with apples and milk for sure you can't feel comfortable after that and most probably you'll go in "toilet-loop". The same is in this kitchen - I can't assure that every mix of packages will make your device bootable !!!
I attached also two example configuration (one for PLK, one for WWE) to show IMHO optimal packages configuration - to use it just click on "Load ROM" button and choose desired conf.
4. To do
- add HTC Diamond support
- add more languages
5. Downloads
PROven kitchen directory on 4Shared - download all files HERE
Enjoy

Great work, qsqa!
I'm try to build my own ROM 21501 with new kitchen from DaG and it don't work (previous kitchen works perfectly! ). Downloading your kitchen and try... Thanks for great instruction in 1st post, it's BIG work to write it too.
And a small question, from what radio, rilphone.dll is used in this kitchen? (sorry for my bad english)
Wow, the instructions make this look really easy. Almost as if I could do it myself. Guess we will see about that.
Thanks for this.
One question, when I extracted SYS.Part2.rar, I was asked to overwite some files. I had already extracted SYS.Part1.rar
Were some of the files included in both compresed files?

It should be not like that - it is multi part archive, it willl automatically extract SYS.Part1.rar and then SYS.Part2.rar

Okay, thanks. I did not need to extract the Part2, because it was done automatically when I extracted Part1. Makes sense now. New to using .rar files.

Thanks man, might give this one a try too. Tried the rest now see which is the best They're all great. Thanks to the other cooks too. You have inspired me to make my own ROMs. See what I have done in my signature.
I found that driver version is 5.00, should be 5.08 right?
Double DIR's
Just a quickie, if you extract the RAR's as is they end up in eg: OEM\OEM and the kitchen comes up with errors that it can't find everything it's looking for.
Now iv'e got it working can't wait to try it.
Bugger!!!!!
Looks so easy, chose optional items, created and flashed, so far so good. poutlook.exe error, no calendar or contacts?? Manila.exe won't run, keeps trying to load. Also how can I edit welcomehead to get rid of 6.1??? No 6.5 menu after turning off Manila.
I like it
Good job on the kitchen qsqa. I was able to cook together touchflo and wm6.5, with Da-G's 21500 version of his kitchen I could never get it to work.

It will involve a lot of reading, i believe Dutty provides a kitchen in his roms so thats a start.
heres a great starter, lots of info about the kitchen structure in post 1, great starter guide in post 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948
There's a lot involved when it comes to building a fast, stable, well-working ROM.
To get you started, I would recommend you download Ervius's Visual Kitchen based on Bepe's latest tools from HERE.
Second, download the latest stock ROM for your specific device. Mine is the T-Mobile HD2 so the stock ROM for that was where I started.
Extract the RUU_LEO_......exe using WinRAR. It can be found HERE. The free version will serve you well. Now open the Kitchen executable and use the option on the left to "extract" or dump the stock ROM that you just extracted from the exe. This will create the Kitchen for you. Or rather.. It will create a solid base foundation in which you can begin your modifications.
Before you'll be able to re-cook the ROM however, you will have to "recmod" the NTFConfig.dll module in Notification Enhancement. Failure to do this will result in a non-booting ROM. Don't ask why... I just know that this has to be done.
Once you do all of this, rebuild the ROM as stock and flash it to your phone(YOU MUST HAVE HARDSPL FIRST!!!!). If all goes well and the ROM boots, runs, and works like you expect a stock ROM to work, then you're free to start making all the changes you want.
TIP>> NEVER delete any package just because you are now using an updated version. Always keep the original just in case something doesn't work and always remember, keep 2 save files. One that you know for a fact will work if you re-cook and one that you experiment with.
As you get more comfortable with cooking ROMS, then you'll be able to update the SYS/XIP components more easily and so I suggest you stay away from that right off the get go. Get a good solid ROM first then play with those "extras".
One last thing - Familiarize yourself with the initflashfiles.dat file(open it with notepad) located in \OEM\"Device name"\0409\OEM_Lang_0409(I used 0409 as an example as this is WWE - you can use whatever language you like). This file controls all files and directories. Trust me, if you don't understand what I mean by that then open the file and you will.
If you have any other questions I'm sure there are many other chefs here who can offer you help and assistance.
Finally, be persistent! Don't let a buggy or non-booting ROM get you down. It can always be fixed! Just have confidence in your "techy side" and have patience. Know that the more you do it, the better at it you will get.
Good luck and happy building!!!

Hey everybody thanks for coming to this guide. Feel free to ask questions in case you don't get it. But let's get this straight, ok?
So some of you must be using a custom ROM. And if you're not a developer, you might be wandering that how did they make the ROM. If you want your OWN product without taking the long way, I have the solution right here.
For me it's almost impossible building up my OWN ROM from nothing like other devs did themselves, either. But i CAN make one from ANOTHER rom. Adjusting it a little, modding a bit there, fixing a LOT here... and ta-da! The Something-Based rom was born. The ultimate tool that you're going to need is the ANDROID KITCHEN.
The one and only kitchen that actually "cooks" Android. One note that this guide i'm doing is for Windows. If you can figure out how to use it with Linux or Mac please be a nice person and share it will you?
Ok, first thing you need is a base ROM(make sure it's the rom that works on the device you're trying to build the ROM for)(Can be CyanogenMod, AOKP, Resurrection Remix,...)
Then comes the other requirements/files:
-A stable internet connection
-Your Windows PC
-Cygwin Packages
-Kitchen
-Java JDK(either x86 or x64(depends on your PC)
So for a reminder, that before you kick off make sure that java jdk was installed. Just go through the setups and install it.
Now comes the GUIDE:
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZoP5RHWBX8
Sorry if it wasn't so detail. But if you miss anything I can make it up for you. Just simply report it back, OK?
Have Fun Modding!
