I have seen posts saying that one can access the extended ROM using Total Commander. I have TC 2.0 (which is still the most recent version, I just checked), and do not see how to access the extended ROM with it.
Could someone please explain that, or point me towards a post that does? Also, an explanation in general regarding extended ROM would be nice.
Thank you.
It's hidden.
type in \extended_rom to access it

Hi,
Please could someone point me in the right direction for using KovskyKitchen. I have extracted many ROMs but when loading BuildOS, there is no packages under the 'BuildOS' tab. Is this correct?
As shown here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
There should be entries in the 'Packages to add to ROM' but I cannot see anything.
Furthermore please could someone tell me how to remove packages from a generic ROM, therefore making it lite (e.g. Office, Messenger, GPS...)
Thanks,
Phil

I don't think there's a package list so you need to create one to get a list in that prog (I think), but I've not got that kitchen in front of me at the mo..
Before I've just removed the package folders I don't want.
Thanks fards,
Is it safe then to delete folders from OEM + SYS.
If and when I rebuild this ROM, without the delted folders, do you know if it will still flash and work?
Also could I please ask which kitchen (if at all) you have used in the past for the X1?
Thanks,
Phil
yep that was about darans kovskykitchen
i really like using pofs linux rom kitchen, as I use ubuntu at work
haven't tried with x1 rom yet.but I will when I get a chance
I started cooking my rom. Pls tell me what to remove from OEM and SYS folder, and what to add
I believe its just a matter of preference, it how far you want to go in stripping your ROM and what you want to but back in. You should just be able to add CABs within KovskyKitchen.
Thanks,
Phil

Although I think it's more efficient to convert them to "packages" first.
Hey Guys,
First off, my immense gratitude for all your hard work! So much information and development, really make me appreciate the massive cost that went into the Xperia !
Before posting this thread, I did my research, read and saw as much as I could, before I posted any questions about Flashing. Thankfully, I have most of the answers, but have a few left. I am sorry if the answers to these questions already exist here, I tried to find them, but couldn't quite find the exact answer, so I apologize in advance for offending or upsetting anyone, I mean great respect to all of you . So, here are my questions:
1. Is it fair to assume that ROMs and Firmwire, could be used as synonyms? They are both essential system files, placed on the ROM portion of the device. I am asking this question, because I want to make sure I have all the pieces of information, in case, something goes wrong during Flashing my custom ROM. I want to have ALL the stock components that came with my Xperia, therefore, I need to understand if Firmware is different from stock ROMs, here. If so, what is the difference and where can I get the proper firmware?
2. Here is all the information I could download from my phone:
Software Id: 1213-6450
Software Version: R1AA017
Customization Version: R15A
Customization Variant: GENERIC_UK
Version:
ROM version: 1.02.931.3
ROM date: 08/29/08
Radio version: 1.06.25.29
Protocol version: 52.43.25.24U
Based on this info, can you guys help me locate this EXACT ROM, if someone has it on XDA? I would really appreciate it! I tried going through the stock ROM threads, but I cannot find the EXACT match. I also wanted a second pair of eyes, more experienced eyes to let me know what information is referring to what and if I have had EVERYTHING needed, before I flash to a custom ROM. If the exact version of the ROM from my phone is not available here, then I guess I'd have to back up my ROM, using the instructions from here. Can anyone confirm this? Also, please don't be surprised by how old this version must be, LOL, I got one of the earliest models and I never touched it .
3. In choosing a custom ROM, I have decided to go with the popular choice, that is Itje's Touch-IT v4.5 Landscape. If I understand this correctly, the Manila (TF3D) on this is ported from the BRAND NEW HTC devices, the Diamond 2 and Pro 2, which use Manila 2, as I understand it? If this is correct, then is it also safe to assume that Themes from Blackstone or something, will NOT run on this Manila 2? I also assume that TF3D Config would also be ineffective on this?
4. What application do you guys recommend for the most comprehensive back up of the Xperia, that is, Emails, Text Messages, Pictures, and so on, and once backed up, can they be restored to another Xperia or any other WM 6.1 Device, including the text messages?
I really want to thank everyone in advance for reading my questions and post, and would again like to apologize if I have offended anyone. It really was not my intention, and please understand there's a myriad of information here, LOL, so just cause most of you our Gurus, us mere Mortals may not always know where to dig it from . Thank you again for your patience, I look forward to your responses.
Regards,
ProFragger.
1) Yes. There's several kinds of Read Only Memory in your device that you can modify. 1st is the SPL, second is the Radio and third is the OS. "Images" for the latter two are referred to as ROMs.
2) Back it up if you want to be sure.
3) Most of your assumptions are correct. I cannot comment on wheter tf3dconfig will work or not.
4) PPCPimBackup (comes with Itje's ROM too)
Thank you very much Angelusz, for your response and help. I have learned, just from those few lines .
I guess I will go ahead and start backing up my stock ROM. If anyone can help me identify, if the ROM already exists online, based on the info I provided in my post earlier, then I would appreciate that too.
Thank you again guys.
Hi! I'd like to know if it is possible to modify an OEM package on a rom. I'm not sure this is how it's called. What I mean is that i'd like to remove some programs that are automatically installed after a new rom is installed (when winmo launches for the first time).. like the custom taskbar or the 4 rows in the start menu..
Actually, i already dumped some roms but then i don't really know how to recombine the files, also don't know nothing about signing, unsigning them and can't qite figure why some programs are asking for bin files instead of nbh (or nbf)
Thanks in advance for your time
id also like to know please :].
maybe someone can create a video? that would be a good way to help others with clarity..
well, seems to be quite a difficult task.. i figured the cook has to provide his ERV file for us to be able to modify his rom (even for a slight modification...) tough luck it is :s
There are quite a few kitchen thread for rhodium! Have you searched and looked? I dont think I understand what you say anyways!!
Look for the kitchen here, and read the thread. Most of your questions has been answered in this forum oneway or the other.
Are you using a kitchen now? If so, what is it? And why not ask for help in the kitchen thread?
Does any one know if this is possible and if so how and where do i find the files? or direct me towards a forum that explains how.

It is possible - and there are two ways of getting it.
1. Load a ROM that contains it - like the Energy ROMS that are available here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=113971.
2. You can load sense 2.5 onto the stock ROM by looking here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=108707.
okay i got it on there but i'm just wondering if there is anyway we can get live wallpapers from the android on this if not do you know of any site where they i have a pretty decent selection.

Can you show me the steps to install manila 2.5
I am trying to find upgrade rom from 6.1 to6.5 but they all say not available for this phone.
It is a t5353 sn. HT95TLXXXXXX
Is there an upgrade for this phone?
MOD EDIT: Not a good idea to post your device's serial number!!
reported it to mods, so that it is moved to the right section, more help will be provided in the right section
Thread moved to Topaz Q&A.
There are plenty of 6.5 ROMs here in the forum. Just follow the instructions for installing Hard-SPL & flash away!
If you're looking for an official update, those would be found on the HTC website (if available).
EDIT: There are several 6.5 ROM updates on the HTC website. The ones one last year include Manila 2.1, while this year's updates include Sense 2.5 (depending on your region).
EDIT 2: Here's the latest (official) WM 6.5 ROM for your device: http://www.htc.com/th/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=915
EDIT 3: If you're interested, here's the older (original) 6.5 upgrade for your device: http://www.htc.com/th/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=741
Thanks for that.
Also could you tell me what unscrupulious use could be made from the serial no. I posted (not thinking) So I could be on the lookout?

To be honest, I'm not really sure - but I do know the serial number is specific to your device, and somewhere (likely in your Carrier's system) is connected to your personal information. So, while it's not likely that someone will use this information against you, I wanted to make sure you knew that it was possible, and remove it from your post just in case.

Well i just want to tell that, serial number for GSM devices cant be traced to any Personal info, but they still they to remove it so that hacker may not clone the serial numbers
Installed the latest that you sugested and it works except I am having a problem driving it. the only 6.5 user manual I have been able to find is a 6.5 telstra one which is different in some things.If I could speak russion I might be able to find it at the same site that I got the rom.
