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.

Hi,
I'm searching a way to build my own rom and at the same time to try porting a rom to the desire HD
for the begining, i think that i need to use dsixda kitchen and BEFORE building it, i know that i need to do some modifications like on the update-script and build.prop
what else do i need to take care of ?
i really need that someone give me some advice, help or tips
thanks in advance
i'm also searching how to set up the default home application in a custom rom
i guess that i should modify an xml file under /system/customize OR should this be done under the build.prop file ???
Android is a free system.
But the cooks do not want to give any help to cook the rom on Desire HD.
I also asked for help but I have not received a response.
Just looking for a point in the right direction.
I want to use the Rogers RUU, I have already downloaded it, just want to remove some bloatware, root it, and theme (uot kitchen) <i can do that part!!
Just looking for a guide, tried searching but couldn't see anything that would help me with Evo 3d.
Thank-You

Well for ROMs a good starting point is editing the ones thqt already work in dsixda's kitchen.You can find info on that on google.As for making your own rom you first need to lewrn to use linux( if you don't have any experience with that) and then its down to compiling. I will give you a full guide to thwt tomorrow when I'm on my PC.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26420861#post26420861 here is link on how to do it
Hello chef central.
Im a brand new chef and fully reading up on how to do certain things.
Unfortionally i cant find how to import the latest ota to put the hox from ics to jb.
In the ota zip are alot of files that will patch the current system files on the phone.
Seriously i cant find any info on importing it to the kitchen(using dsixda kitchen)
Hope some people have some pointers on this
As the second thing.
For dsixda kitchen we need a template. Luckily i found a hox template on the forum but i dont know how to get the info for the template.
Any one can tell me how to get that so i can make it myself for my next device
Thx for the help
