ROM Cooking How To?! - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Tutorials, do we have any tutorials I can start reading to cook a ROM for HTC HD?
Is it easy or is something only the xda experts can do?

The HD Kitchen is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438456
Try reading up on the wiki about using the kitchens also.
Thanks
Dave

I have the kitchen on my now, however it´s a strange program for me, I would really need some kind of manual/tutorial
Where is the Wiki for HD Kitchen, I don´t find it :S

Have a look at Alex's KaiserKitchen tutorial (even play with it if you want) you'll get most of the idea from there (on the wiki here). The idea is a bit strange at first, but you get used to it. Some useful videos here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1968557
Thanks

i downloaded the file, but can`t open it. ned the .rar password?

There are many tutorials for the other kitchens. A kitchen is a collection of tools. All the the tools in most kitchens are the same.
Check out the wiki and search the forum, the answers are there... (trust me I found them)

The password is in the readme file. You need the latest version of WinRar (or personally I prefer 7z), so just get it, and you will be able to look the password up.

There are so many out there already. They just weren't written for the HD kitchen, but basically it is the same idea. So just read through some tutorials and you will get it. I think a good starting point is this thread.

thanks for the info. i am a totally rookie at this. i just want to try to build a rom with apps in it. i will look into it.

No, why should I?
Just wondering if you knew, you knew that it's gonna release in 20 minutes.
Okay, no more useless spam.
Don't bother, no major fixed/upgrade.
Fix wmp which you can do by yourself by using the same fix posted in this forum or xpda.com
Added more free software such as MIDlet Manager, evbruntime ....
No mentioned of minor/major regs fixed.
Looks like it's up!
no way am i installing this unless a list of changes is posted. i just got my wm6 perfect, the way i want it.

Just installed it, give u an update in a few minutes.
Stll no MMS.
Phonepad, scroll fixed
added ringtone, 10 minutes.........
midlet
and that's it as far as I can see. So for new starters it's an improved 3, for the ones running 3 already, don't change.
...Maybe there are some reg or internal changes that I'm aware of, but I'm no Xpert.

well since I only use the 8125 as a phone only basically (get a BA for apps I will install because I don't have sh*t to lose besides resco file explorer haha. peace!

Like the title says. Every now and then people are asking how to start cooking. Some do and others can't find all the needed ingredients. I start this thread for all of you that want to start and share knowledge about cooking.
I know some of the senior cooks will take a look every now and then and contribute.
Above all, have fun and enjoy the cooking!

When is class # 1? I have played around a little with the Samsung i780 and actually flashed a ROM dump but never went far enough to learn about xip, packages, and other things. So I will stay tuned.
That's what I need to know , and package compiling, and ui tweaks, and some other things.
Hello my dear fellow cooks. Everything to start is in place. To make it easy to start I added 3 pictorials to install the kitchen, extract and build your first rom and a tutorial on how to add an OEM package. Links to all necessary reading are in post #3. I also added a clean 1.19 WWE rom with OEM and SYS to make an easy start. It now is up to your imagination.
Wow, thanks ! Soon I will be a great chef!
Hi,
I'm not a senior chef, but if I may, I will give you my contribute!
Ready to learn
Thankssssssssssssss so lot bro, ready to learn and keep in touch, really need to learn bro. great job dude. Awesome.

Here you are!!! it could be much easier for me to find this thread if you left me the link for the threads in your PM, anyway I found it accidently and not using the search option since I tryed it for hours but it didn't help a bit,
Anyhow thanks for opening a great helpful thread which I think it should be... sticky... sticky... sticky
After scrolling through the thread I still couldn't find answers to my questions. So here they are:
-From which folder do I need to delete the program folders that needed to be deleted? (SYS, OEM, or TEMP) Since some of them have duplicates.
-How about the registry do I need to edit anything after all or deleting the folders only would do the trick?
-What's the difference between using the buildos.exe and the buildos+package_tools-2.7 and what is the proper use for either of them?
-in some posts it mentioned that you can add a program by placing it's package to the "OEM or SYS" folder What's the difference if I put the packages in OEM folder rather than SYS folder? do i need to do any registry changes? If so then where?
-Do I need to use the buildos+package_tools-2.7 after all and along with placing the packages in the OEM or SYS folder?
Cleaning up the registry is quiete easy, too. Use an editor with a "search in files" functionality and use it in order to find the files containing your registry keys/values.

-Can you name me a good editor to use?
-What would be the best way to change in manila's, using the packages method or replace them directly from their location in the kitchen?
-The final and most delicate question is how can I integrate the registration info in a shareware program package?

Which duplicates do you have? Try to delete it from both .

The registry entries are stored in the rgu file, which can be found within the folder. So by deleting the folder you also delete the registry entries.

Personally I'm just using the "old" version, which is quite simple to deal with.

I think it depends on the software you are talking about. You have to find out where it stores the appropriate information and then have to include it. Figuring out where it stores the information could be time intensive. Dump the registry before the registration, dump it aftwards, and then compare it using WinDiff (for instance). Its included in the kitchen. Some software may also use the filesystem, so you have to modify and/or copy some files.

I am looking for a Generic R3AA010...Uk

The ROMs here are all Updates, not generic ROMs.
I want a R3AA010, Generic UK..Can any1 plz give me a link for this...
I tried searching it, but didnt get anyuthing, there are only Software Updates.

Find the the link here.
Download the file. It's an aplication/exe file (I downloaded APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010.exe). Run (install) it and it will be extracted to image file (filename.image). Rename the file to kovsimg.nbh, double check if the file is renamed correctly : "kovsimg.nbh" NOT "kovsimg.nbh.image"
Flash your device, and find the "how to" at the sticky thread.

Hmmmm well, it sounds like you haven't attempted utilizing these links recently.
They are successful about 10% of the time.
Amazing how cynical some people can be without actually providing useful advice.
Some of the roms on this page are on a ftp:

See if you're lucky enough.. Ofcourse you will need to revert to stock spl for this and update to latest generic rom via SEUS..
Good luck

1)DO NOT UNZIP anything(browse while zipped/edit while zipped)
2)Use autosign.bat or exe.
3)No offense Flipz,LEARN ADB FIRST(NO KITCHEN)
4)When youre done editing resign the rom.
5)Thats IT!!! GOOD LUCK
You can't sign ROM's with the Kitchen. Only themes. And learning ADB commands is cool.
