Due to a few requests and because some Chefs may be struggling to port the XIP from the Iolite I've decided to release my SuperROM Kitchen.
This kitchen will build a Jade ROM with CE 5.2.20765 (Build 20765.1.4.4) OS and kernel.
All the Jade applications have been updated to the newer Iolite versions and Iolite's Footprints is included.
The XIP and SYS from the Iolite have been fully ported.
A few drivers remain from the European 1.40.405.3 ROM, the rest are updated.
Sample footprints, pictures, music and movies have been removed.
Opera and Google Maps have been removed and are included as CABS.
TIP: If you remove Footprints you can disable the Footprints Widget by setting enable to 0 in the Tabs section of the HTCHomeSettings.xml file.
Many thanks to udK for the original Jade Kitchen and to the following for their tools which without none of this would be possible.
bepe for his BuildOS & XIPPort
Dark Simpson for his HTC ROM Tool
misar for G'Reloc & M'Reloc
Olipro for his Hard-SPL
tupisdin for the shipped ROM
tadzio for ImgFS Tools
Jade SuperROM Kitchen v1.0
http://rapidshare.com/files/211611929/JadeSuperROM_Kitchen.rar
hello,thank you for your Package,but i have a question, what are X0-X9 ?
thanks again~
I also don't know about the following files,could you explain the functions for me pls :
PACKAGE_Iolite_CLL
PACKAGE_Iolite_zlibce_m
UpdateBlock
ShadowPkg
many thanks!
so if I copy some cabs in the folder CABS and then run buildrom.bat the applications (that cabs file) will be compiled/included in the rom?

No, the CAB folder just contains the two cabs removed from the build.
It's a bad idea to have cabs included in the ROM, i.e. Google Maps and Opera. When the device does it's first boot it installs these cabs but it can't delete the cab files as they're burnt into the ROM so you are wasting about 5MB of memory. The idea is to copy these to your Jade and install them after the first boot, the cabs can then be delete from the Jade.

CLL has to do with Client Location, when you use the Footprints app it will try to determine your position using a few different methods, GPS, WiFi, CellID (it aks your permission the first time you use it). If it can determine your position it uses it as the default caption for the footprint.
zlibce seems to be a compression/decompression library that is probably used by another application.
UpdateBlock, ShadowPkg, X0 to X9. I don't know, they were in the original Iolite ROM so they're in the kitchen. You can probably delete them and your ROM will work fine although you'll save very little space.
I only took out Google Maps and Opera as it's pointless and a waste of space having CAB files burnt into the ROM when they can be installed after you've flashed your ROM.
thank you for your answer~
but i got new one:
is there any solution to stop Activesync popping up automatically??
fake server setting seems not work for me ~
thanks~
so do I have to copy my part01 and 02 in the kitchen? or it's enough to "build.bat" and the rom is ready? If that so, what's the point of "kitchen"? and what is exactly these "footprints" ?

This has nothing to do with the SuperROM Kitchen... Why don't you just tick the 'Don't ask me again box' when ActiveSync pops up?

No, you don't copy anything from your ROM into the kitchen, the idea is that you take things out if you want a 'lite' version.
If you want to know what Footprints is then I suggest you build a ROM in my kitchen, install it and have a play around... or have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YITWCZxvHz0, not the same phone but you'll see a footprints demo about 1 minute into the movie.
yeap, really great. so this rom is exactly as it comes (in other words is kitchen for jade with iolite (footprints) features) and we will modify it as we want, or let it as it is. and footprints will use automatically the gps, to take the coordonates?
Footprints
Does anybody have a problem with footprints?
It wont start up on my jade
If i want to make a new picture nothing happens.

It's not just 'Kitchen for Jade' plus Footprints, everything is updated including newer OS and kernel.
Footprints will automatically use the GPS, it will also use AGPS if you agree to it the first time you use footprints (and yes you can switch off the AGPS later if you don't want it). You can't switch of the GPS as otherwise Footprints would just be a camera!

What i mean is:
When I start up the HTC Touch 3G, ActiveSync is running. I stop it, but sooner or later it will show up in the Tasks running again. I'll leave the HTC Touch 3G alone for awhile, come back and ActiveSync is running again.
I did the ActiveSync Fake server Trick(Fake IP, Set schedules to Manual, etc..), but that didn't help.
Sorry for my poor English~
maybe someone can help me: i'm trying to make my own rom, and i have a problem: i've made oem packages from the cabs, and i've copied the entire folder (with all files including .dsm and .rgu) into OEM folder, and after that, i've pressed BuildROM.bat but appears an error at one of the application (i've included 5): The file 'temp\dump\SETUPDLL.dll' allready exists. Yes, I have this file on 3 applications folders. How can i solved it? I supose if I will delete from 2 applications folders the "setupdll.dll" file, the app will not work anymore correctly. Please help me.

I'd suggest you do some reading on how to convert cabs to packages and vice versa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467842
i will try that variant too, but, for moment i want to know what should i do with what i've converted. look on the attachament to see if i need only that 2 files, or entire directory.
a problem that i have at finalisation of the compilation: see attachament.

New extended Kitchen for Herald
HERALD_DEV_v2.1_Build_19199.rar
Related:
Extended Kitchen for Hermes
Extended Kitchen for Trinity
Extended Kitchen for Artemis
Thanks to misar, FreePK for helping with this new set of tools!
About the Kitchen
Herald base: HTC WWE 4.17.405.2
OS base: VF Kaiser UK 3.08.161.0 (Build 19199)
OEM Apps removed, but you need to clean up the OEMDrivers package
I did not do any changes to the OS, because it should be a clean base Kitchen for all of you
Full XIP editing supported by the Kitchen
New tool to merge all dsm files to one big file and delete all rgu's
I think the OEM package to SYS problem should be solved... but did not try it yet
How to use it
Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
OEM and SYS can be used as known
The content of ROM\XIP will be used to create a new XIP section for the OS
You don’t have to worry about relocating modules... add/remove whatever you like and the new tools will take care of relocating modules or freeing RAM
.VM and .ROM is updated automatically
Actually this Kitchen runs in auto mode, which means you only need to run BuildNB.bat to create the ROM. You can change that by editing the bat files; made it this way, because I don’t use the options in BuildOS.exe
I consider this a perfect port of the new build to this device
Replaced all XIP SYS packages (I did not just changed coredll.dll to get the new build number)
There were also boot.rgu changes my MS, those have been added too
SYS is completely untouched
Read this for download:
All donations are very welcome!
I need to buy a new device, because this time my Trinity is gone forever and I cannot use my girlfriends Artemis without being killed (by mistake I deleted all contacts last time I used it for testing... she was not very happy about that )
When you are getting money for the ROMs you cook using my kitchen, I would really appreciate a donation.
I'm not talking about 50% of you incomes, but one small donation would be fair I think.
To download the Kitchen click at "All donations are very welcome"
!!! This was only meant for ppl never donated for these tools and expecting donations for ROM's created using my Kitchen !!!
Thanks to all those who have donated already!
Happy cooking!
Come on guys - the ROM (I installed a test version by bepe) has nothing inside - real barebone...
BUT it is BOOTING
And it is what I call "click n´get" = no lack when clicking start-settings
So start cooking...
And once again: IT is a KITCHEN === NO usable ROM!!!!

Forget about 19716, it is a very old build! Dont ask me about this logic.
19199 seams to be the final build, so please use this one. It's more stable, not beta like 19716, faster.
Now all I need is a way to bypass the flash center's 51.2mb limit and I'm in heaven. ;-) Awesome release. Cooking as we speak, instead of sleeping...

I'm working on a stripped version as well... For the touchscreen to work, make sure you have the touch.dll driver in your OEMDRIVERS or a TOUCH package with the needed touch.dll.

After watching everybody with problems in adding contacts and programs, i tryed to found what was diferent in my Himalaya (it was working fine in my Hima!).
So i found that when I was trying to make M2D working in Himalaya, i previously installed lots of diferent software, and i did not see what i had diferent from you guys...
BUT KNOW I KNOW!!!!
I had 2 more .cabs in my Hima, they make the diference!!!

From there download this update: »[UPDATE 16] September 26, 2008«
Inside the folder "NEEDED FILES" you'll find lots of .cab files
1 - Install "01. OX-ManilaCompatibleSharedDLL.cab"
It will ask to Reboot - Ok reboot!
2 - Install "02. ContactFix.cab"
3 - Download and install this .cab file from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/152207282/Manilla2D-Jack.cab.html
4 - Install "16. Manilla2D_HTC_Patch.CAB"
5 - Soft reset the device... et voila! See now if you can add contacts and programs!
Did not test other functions, but they might need other .cabs in package to run.
NOTES;
I've tryied the M2D version inside the package "15. 2d.Manila.Engine-Beta-0.09.cab"
Works also, but it's more heavy, so Jack version is better.
Also tryed install M2D costumizer with other themes and it's working fine.
HOPE THIS HELP YOU!
Send me your feedback.

Good Point! Got some new phones recently and mixed up which was which!
Event the main XDA-developers page says that the XDA IIi may be an Andes or an Alpine!
It is indeed a Himalaya / XDA II!
Whats roms these play to?
I have same problem. With contacts, programs and etc.
After the new instructions in post 1:
*Programs and contacts now work
*Links on Internet tab do not work
*Images on album page work, but do not correctly fit to box....HTC Album only loads briefly and then shuts
*Music tab gives "Cannot play file" error, haven't tested with MP3
EDIT: Installing the Audiomanager removes this error, though I have no MP3s on my phone to test more.
*Cannot add location on Weather page, location list is blank. Probably missing link to .xml list.
I will look into fixes...

FIX: Installing the Audiomanager removes this error, though I have no MP3s on my phone to test more.
*Cannot add location on Weather page, location list is blank. Probably missing link to .xml list.
Fix: Reinstalled all the cabs after hard-reseting phone, all of a sudden it works.
I am still looking into the buttons on the internet tab. I might try installing Opera, or seeing if there is a change in the registry...

I decided to start this Thread because every "new cook" here is trying to cook a good wm6.5 rom. But there are still Bugs and Mistakes.
I solved some Problems and i still got ones.
maybe we can all share Solutions we found so we can cook a Rom with as less bugs as possible
My Question here:
In the new 21501 build there is the runcc package. I didnt want it so i deleted all the related files and initflashfiles-entries and coked in the checkautorun, autorun and sdautorun (for UC).
In the initflashfile i created the shortcut of checkautorun for the startup folder. But after flash i got : "Theres no Application associated with checkautorun" (or sth. like that) i recognized that my autorun file was deleted due to it was cooked in windows directory.
So my Question: How can i get the normal Autorun thing work?
/edit. because none reacted i tried myself in imitating god. i took a ridge from adam and created eva out of it. i.e. i took some files from the older build and put them in the newer one.... exactly all the OEMdriver files and some OperatorPKG files... will see it it helps
/edit don't help.
i wonder... has noone of you the same errors? Has noone of you the solution for my problem...
Runcc is needed by quite a lot of HTCs apps, as a background process.
it's also how they are starting to do the initial customizations..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3613983#post3613983 have a read for some interesting stuff, there's also other threads on runcc to search for..
It's also one of the reasons why roms are getting quicker..
I'd leave it in..
argh no that i started to learn how things work (the autorun thing) there will be a new standard in customization
that sucks xD
But i thought runcc dont run bugless on our xperia.
I prefer a little slower rom without bugs =)

But now it is working fine, hard to domesticate *****, but finally ported to the xperia: all working fine

What a pitty. Looks like no one is interested in sharing Solutions and asking for them.
Seems like all the newbie cooks stopped cooking (haha expected that).
I'm still cooking my little roms I deleted the cc thingy too and had the same error at startup. I just ignored it. Would also like to know how to start the autoinstall at startup, still learning.
Did you manage to assign the right softkey when you're on the clock to htc comm.manager? I got the standard winmo comm.manager right now.
I looked up the regkeys and there's only the left softkey assigned...
This thread would be really nice if all the new cooks would chip in on the problems
I dont work with Runcc anymore ^^ Changed back to 21500 because of that.
As I dont include the HTC Comm Manager in my ROMs that wasnt a bug for me. But i managed to get the Bubble with the Comm Manager Link working like i want --> it refers to winmo comm manager (wrlsmgr.exe)
This Button isnt assigned in registry because its changeable (with new titanium tab there comes a new link)
I think we have to look for the solution in titanium itself.
I've searched through the titanium 800x480.cpr but there was nothin about this
Ha I've got the Fix for ya

Thanks, I found it last night too....took me a while...

Here is the link but I didnt try it yet since I'm at work.

You should also check out the new fave people panel. Pretty awesome stuff.
Personally I use wm 6.5 as my main os now and it just rocks. Just love the new and lite home/titanium. Great job from microsofts side.
There's also the known weather panel and an opera panel.
Also looking forward to see new panels coming.
And about the autoinstall stuff...
mobilevu posted a nice instruction in his rom thread in the 2nd post:

Yeah in my Full Rom (Medium id coming today ) I'll add all the Add-On's to Titanium so its get a very powerfull GUI
Oh so you dont need my fix anoymore ^^ sad to hear that but if you want to change it without any third party apps this is the place to look up
hehe, actually I fixed the softkey last night excatly the same way you wrote!

BETTER (and easy) SOLUTION FOR COMM MANAGER NOT BEING LAUNCHED FROM THE TASKBAR ICONS:
Drop this tweaked commmanagerlink.exe file into the OEM/OEMDrivers folder
That's all
How I did it ??
I noticed all REGs and DLLs were pointing to "commmanagerlink.exe" instead of "wrlsmgr.exe"
I rebuilded the wrlsmgr.exe file and renamed it to commmanagerlink.exe

Write a provxml file to associate it with the starupanimation engine
2- Add the StatupAnimatonEngine PACKAGE to your OEM folder
Piece of cake
PS: If you dunno how to mke a xmp or provxml, get "fileoperations.xml" from R2A base ROM, edit it with NotePad, delete all the other shizzz (but preserving the xml structure !!) and drop it into OEM/OperatorPkg, then invoke your custom "fileoperations.xml" from config.txt (XML: /Windows/"fileoperations.xml")

BETTER (and easy) SOLUTION FOR COMM MANAGER NOT BEING LAUNCHED FROM THE TASKBAR ICONS:
Drop this tweaked commmanagerlink.exe file into the OEM/OEMDrivers folder
That's all
How I did it ??
I noticed all REGs and DLLs were pointing to "commmanagerlink.exe" instead of "wrlsmgr.exe"
I rebuilded the wrlsmgr.exe file and renamed it to commmanagerlink.exe

I have downloaded and tried your ROM, it's a great ROM, almost exactly what I wanted in my mind.
I would really appreciate if you could share your kitchen and let me experiment.
big thanks again.
Hello guys, i have question.
For example i can`t find a Explanations for new persons who wana cook a ROM.
I found some Kitchens but its not writen anything, and is very hard for peoples who are new in the cooking to understand anything.
For example.. some Short Thread and usefl explanation like.. You need to download a Kitchen then you need to find and download OEM, SYS etc etc the elements for cooking new ROM and then you begin start cooking.
Its so confused that i even can`t find the latest packages to use for the Blackstone.
So all the things are not so hard.. and if we have Thread with good exmplantation.. we can read it several times and to know what we doing exactly, not everybody is born like a cooker and i think that everyone who wana cook ROM`s in the future i mean NEW Cookers will be awesome we to have from where to read ALL IN ONE post.
If Some Cooker can make a STEP BY STEP Guide in one Thread this will be very usefull for all.
For example now i wana Cook a ROM but i don`t know How, because its full with Thread and how much you read them is more and more confused.
Thanks in advance
OK, will give some ideas how to start. I am a beginner, so here I will tell you, how I started.
Before you start cooking:
- download this kitchen, which already have all needed packages in(Windows Mobile [6.5.5][23529] Manila 2.5 and other stuff). If you want kitchen with no packages go in this thread and for different SYS packeges look at this thread
This kitchen is best choice for new cookers, because it contains explanation for each system package.
- Then, read this thread - it was really useful for me, at least in general terms.
- Also, in process of cooking you will want to change some registry, so, keep in ming, that you should look mainly at these two files, they are for general registry settings
user.hv & default.hv
I am using WinCE Registry Editor to open them.
Cooking in Process
1) Beginning
When you will open kitchen in the first time you will see something like this
Then you should choose all main options such as Device Model, SYS build and so on...(if you downloaded kitchen without packages, you should add them manually - look at the "Folders in the root of kitchen" part to find, where you should place all packages)
When you will finish it, go to System Packeges(core components in WM)
Also, you need to choose, which OEM and EXT packages you want in your ROM
If you want clean ROM, just uncheck EXT packages, which you don't need. But remember, unlike EXT many of the SYS and OEM packages are crucial and specific for each device.
Please also explain how to REMOVE things from the pakacke that i don`t like for example programs if i want to remove mp3 trimmer and will be the same for all other apps that we wana remove
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, as I said, in order to remove any program from ROM(for example MP3 Trimmer), you shoul remove its package from kitchen(simply uncheck it)
2) Folders in the root of kitchen
This is how base folder of my kitchen looks like.
CABs folder were created by manually(Oprional - you don't need to create it if you don't want). I am using this folder for all cabs, which I will convert in EXT packages in the future.
Flash folder is "the folder where cooked ROMs will be saved when the build process is complete" and also it have all necessary file for flashing.
Projects folder is folder where all your projects will be saved.
Resources folder contain "files and tools necessary for the kitchen to work, don't touch it!"
Sources folder contains all SYS, Kernels, etc. This is main folder, where you can change everything related to WM and its programs.
So, there is Sources subfolders:
-> EXT - there you can create folders and put your ext packages
-> MSXIPKernel - always create folder named as version and inside it place all MSXIPKernel files
-> NK - native kernels, create there folder for your device (names in first post). Learn more about this folder in the kitchen tutorial.
-> OEM - Here create just as with NK your device-named folder and place in it OEM files
-> ROM - There also create device-named folder and place in it romhdr.bin, os.nb.payload and folder XIP with MSXIPKernelLtk and OEMXIPKernel without nk.exe!!
-> Stuff - just some stuff for devices, you can't do anything there, don't touch it
-> SYS - There create version-named directories. In them are supposed to be few more directories:
->-> All - There goes DPI and RES related stuff, but NO LANGS!
->-> Common - There place all nonDPI, nonRES, nonLANG related files, just main binaries etc
->-> <lang code> - here goes all langs, like 0405, 0409, 0C0A etc
This was partly copied from kitchen manual, so if you want, you can read more about structure of these folders in this manual.
3) Import CABs, OEM and SYS packages to EXT
One of the main part of cooking process is adding programs in the kitchen.
You can do it in two ways - using program tools or copying in the EXT folder whatever you want.
Here, I will explain easiest way of how to do it by using program tools.
First of all, go to "Convert"
then choose option, for example "From CAB to EXT", fill all blank spaces
and you will see, that your packages will be added in the ROM
That's all! Then, when you will finish, just press "Start cooking" and waiting for results
I hope it was clear enough. If you have any question - post it in this thread or PM, I will try to answer.
Thanks for the Help, now i will explain you what i want exactly!!!
Why i want to cook a ROM
So i already have few Favorite ROM`s they are cool but they can be even more better, and clear.
For example i can`t dupm the ROM`s i love because they are protected etc.
So i like the Builds from Branch COM 2 now the latest one is 21893 i like them most because they are Fast and Stable, I just want to Have one Clear WM 6.5 Build ROM with Manila 2.1.19.21
What i mean by clear is ... all the ROM`s have alot of apps and things that im not using and never will use on the future, so this apps that are coocked just eat from my device memory. Also i want the default stock Task bar icons.. because if i want to costumize them i can do all this with Theme just to install a cab.
This is only the reason why i wana cook a ROM if you have any idea also HOW i can edit a ROM for example this my FAVORITE ROM witch is NBH file just to OPen it extract is somewhay and to remove all apps i want and to do some minorr changes and again to make it a nbh file will be awesome i mean that in this way i will not have need to cook a brand new ROM.

Aliff this will be a GREAT TUT MAN I LOVE YOU.. if you do all the things like this after this THREAD is finished almost everyone will be able to cook a ROM
Thank you i will wait when you finish with the TUT and will Start READ step by step to don`t miss anything.

Okay if I understand you right the SYS Package is that for the Build and if i want diferent Build i just need to change the SYS the OEM is the Base and i can use now this OEM that is inclused in the Kitchen or i can Update this too? For example i download now the latest I download
SYS_21895_192DPI_0409 --- I understand that 192DPI is for our Blackstones 0409 mean WWE
SYS_21895_Common.rar
SYS_21895_XIP.rar
So i only need this components tocreate a new 21895 based rom and i can use the OEM that is on the Kitchen or i must change it too?
Testing method
thanks for the tutorial, i myself has been wanting to create my own ROM but dont really know where to begin...
1 thing that i would like to ask, is there a way to test the ROM without actually flashing it to the device? well, you know a newbie in cooking, can result in undesirable result if not properly done, and dont really want to brick my device (touchwood)...

Nothing like that exists that I am aware off. BTW you will have to make it really terrible to brick your device with a bad ROM.
Cooking means, altering stuff, cooking, flashing, f'ing up, alter some more stuff, cook, flash and so on.. There is no easier way to test unfortunally.
Yeah, thanks.
It's not probable that I'd cook my own ROM, but you never know...
This thread is Awesome!!
I had the same problem just like anyone else.....
You just don't know where to start and where to get the sys builds etc.
Is there a moderator who thinks this is usefull? please make it sticky

I download SYS 21895 but i need EXT packages that include the latest 2.1.19.21 Sense Manila
Also from where can download this Manila CFC Compressed etc?
ALso if someone point me from where to get the latest Upto Date OEM packs will be cool.

latest Up to Date apps can be found in sparkies thread, Tmob Leo 2.10 ext packages
Does anyone know if it's possible to cook using Linux via WINE? I'm thinking it should be as there is no actual activesync required.
Wouldn't mind 'trying' to put together a 6.1 ROM
Excellent tutorial stuff
Question time:
I made myself a 23544 rom and cooked it with no ext packages at all. It flashed and booted fine, so I added all of the Leo 2.10 packages - nothing else. Now it boots to a white screen. I'm guessing there are some incompatible packages for the HD2, or I'm missing some dependencies for the HD. Anybody know what these are?
Update: you can find a newer 1.31 final on the osKitchen Zero thread (linked above). I strongly suggest to use that version because it has tons of fixes and improvements that also affect HD mini ROMs.
Remember to run it as administrator (if you don't import may fail), to import the latest stock ROM for your language and read the instructions from the osKitchen Zero thread if you have never used it.
Happy cooking!
So, 26 downloads after, can somebody please confirm if it rebuilds a booting ROM like expected?
Hi, i have tested my first rom cookie, i have change de original rom pt, i removed de copilot from de rom and de google maps.

I've tried to import the rom into the kitchen and i get this error: "Error while importing the ROM file: Can't extract files or build packages from IMGFS structure. Please make sure the ROM is not corrupted, that it's an original ROM update released by the manufacturer and not an user-generated ROM." I've downloaded the rom from this link http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Photon/ and the rom is this http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pho...adio_Signed_32.2802.05.06_0.63.05.35_Ship.exe Why do i get this error? I'm working under Windows 7 and run the kitchen as an administrator. Any help please?

The windows mobile builds are not phone-specific. You need to get the rollup file and import it with the Windows Mobile dump importing tool inside the kitchen.
Here is the link to the 23569 build http://www.mobileunderground.info/asusmobile/23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409.7z , remember that this dump is english only, if you want other languages you should get 23563 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445 (don't copy&paste languages between the twos!).
The first dump is in the ervius kitchen format, the second is in the Da_G all-in-one format.

I think that 23563 has the resolution files for that resolution, 23569 probably doesn't but you could try copying the resolution folders from 23563 (which I don't reccommend).

You just have to import the ROM file, select all the available entries in the Project Settings screen then import the other windows mobile build (Import Windows Mobile Build button), chose it from the combobox in the windows mobile build, hit Start building and hopefully you'll have a NBH ready to flash. If you only want to change the windows mobile build as long as the device doesn't have any program causing trouble it's really simple.
@airxtreme
when i selected my device (HD mini) the program suggested that 3 apps should be recmodded. Can you explain what this exactly is? Is it necessary? The only thing i want to do with your kitchen is remove some apps from the original rom. These apps are: Copilot, jblend ect. All i have to do is just remove these from the ext packages list? Thank's
Edit: I forgot to ask you something else, is the original rom compressed? In my case (just want to remove some apps from the original rom and nothing else) should i choose a compression? What do you suggest?
ty for ur help, I have found this build too:
"28233_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409"
U think that is ok for Photon ?

The HD mini original rom is compressed with XPR so you'd better put that if you don't want a slower ROM with LZX. If you want to remove apps and those applications are stored in Cabs you will have to edit the config*.txt files in other packages to remove the reference to the cab you removed or the rom will hang during boot at the progress bar saying the cab cannot be found.

That build is very old (the newest is the 235xx branch) and since the name doesn't have HVGA in it then it probably doesn't have the resolution files for your device.

All the apps i want to remove are in EXT packages. The rom i wish to customize (by removing a couple of apps only) is original. So are there any apps stored in Cabs? And is there a config*.txt file? Because i can't find them.

I just looked and strangely this phone like the HD2 doesn't seem to use cab files (so no need to mess with config*.txt files) but that still doesn't make stuff easier: for example if you want to remove copilot you have to edit the INITFLASHFILES.DAT file (you can find it in the OEM\OEM_Lang_something folder) and remove all the "CoPilot V8.0" section from it.

Well to be honest all i wish to remove is Copilot and Jblend (anything tricky for this one?). The weird thing is that there is no INITFLASHFILES.DAT in the OEM\OEM_Lang_0409 folder. I think i'll just remove these two from the Ext packages and try to flash the rom. Then i'll tell you what went wrong or not I don't want to bother you anymore
