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!!!!

which one is the herald kitchen ?

nice release bepe, and misar
quick question...anyone know which phone the 19716 build came from

wow Bepe, great work. Downing now

Nice. Downloading now, too. My firefox decided to bloat up to 1gb of RAM randomly and then crash... so I have to sit here waiting 17 minutes for Radipshare to let me download again. >.<

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...

great job guys!
I'll strip it a little more, trying to get the smallest possible (working) rom for building my own one.

edit: do we have to add some drivers or something? No matter what i try, the touchscreen doesn't work so i can't get past the "Tap the screen to set up your...."-screen.

mmh, adding the old drivers from 6.0 doesn't work. Am i missing a step? Can anyone confirm that it works out of the box?
Strange...

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.

Jade SuperROM Kitchen v1.0 - CE 5.2.20765

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!

I can start up footprints, but when i want to make a picture and enter the new button nothing happens

Thnx anyways

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.

Latest official AT&T ROM

Anybody extracted all the cabs already?
Especially interested in the Manila version and all the AT&T add-ons.
Thx

wait. you actually want the att bloatware?
also, the tf3d stuff is only slightly optimized, if you're running any of the manilas out there that are updated recently, it should perform better.. especially if you actually use wm6.5

Yes, the bloatware incl. Manila to rewrite/update my Fuze setup guide.
I admit that I'm a little bit reluctant to flash my phoen back to the latest ATT since I kinda depend on it for the next two weeks and cannot run the risk to wreck it at this time.

i c... I can provide you the set up file, but I have no knowledge of how to extract it. If you are interested, send me a PM and i'll see if i can upload the link for you.
EDIT: the official update is actually really good. especially the radio. my gps fix is very very fast, and my battery life is great.. even with push..

I can download the EXE from HTC/AT&T myself but would need to install to copy all cab files under the Windows directory.
If anybody has all the cabs which reside after an install (better a de-böoated install) would be great.
The success with the GPS and good lock is simply related to the Radio bundled with the new ROM which is/was available at XDA for some time. Sure, for a branded ROM it was finally time to fix these issues.

yeah, i did mention that the radio was why the gps is so much better. I'm just a sucker for going around flashing new radios... It got to be so much of a hassle keeping track of them that I gave up..
anyways, sorry I can't help you there in terms of the cabs since I'm very uncomfortable with doing stuff like that since I'm paranoid about my phone numbers and notes tagging along..
but I can say with confidence that the new update is really good and you should not be worried about flashing the new rom at all. The only thing is that I see you are using energyrom so i understand that you don't want to flash back and forth.

Can you take a look in your Windows dir and name me the CAB files there?
Most common none is deleted after install so that list could be helpful already.
NRG ROM ... well ... it ROCKS.
I'm not such a fan of 6.5 yet thus running the older NRG 2.0 without ANY problems.

sure! that I CAN do.. here's the list (btw, my rom is unbloated so i might have all of the cabs..)
BlockBreakerDelux_105_signed.cab
DD2_GM_signed.CCAB

that's about all I see.. I might have some typos in the numbers but hopefully they should be all correct. Good luck and if you need anything else, just holler.

Cool mate! ... and this is from the latest AT&T ROM upgrade?
Would you mind to copy all the cabs to your PC and zip them in one humongous file? Check PM

i can do that provided that it isn't locked in by the OS. I'll do it later when I come back.

Thanks, check your PM (Private Messages).

Sorry to interrupt, but here you go:

Manila is not installed from CAB, so I created a CAB for it.

Thanks NATF.
Just one Q, what does then the PT_MANILA.CAB do?
Chefs like you never disturb!

Actually, you don't need that CAB. It is installed during Initial Configuration, and it adds the registry entries that start TF3D on boot. However, I added the required entries to my TF3D CAB.

Hey NATF....what happened to the OzIM cab? I was curious about this thread because I wanted to know if there were a new version of the cab for the instant messaging package as well....or did you just leave it out because the version didn't change in the new ROM perhaps?

[20.1.2010] WM 6.1 Sys 2056 Kitchen (Online)

hello peoples
after long time i am back! because a lot of people are searching a 2056 kitchen and because i hate the new 6.5 wm i have made this kitchen for us.
Infos:
reg tweaks
modified xip
uldr removed
sys tweaked
the rom is very fast and it is with the software i like it or i must have. so if you will add something new you can do that.

YEEEEEEEEEEHA....superb, cant wait

kitchen online now. have fun

Sorry but I can't, how do I instal?

Just out of my curiosity what tweaks did you do to the SYS, xip etc? since you are sharing your kitchen I thought you might want to share that aswell, maybe helpfull for the chefs (or wannabee chefs) out here

@ EpiphanyNL
hehe, sure, but i dont remember everything..i have create this kitchen not in one day..
but i modified the xip removing some dll's (what ervius kitchen doenst do) --> see mr. makk's tutorials (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=564130), and some other tweaks
the sys i have recmoduled some modules, changed some folders (original bluetooth folder, original wm folder) and removed some files that we doesnt must have..
greets blackdragon

Haha I understand, cooking isnt something that can be done in one day. It takes time to read, to learn, to test stuff.
It's pretty hard to find how things are done when you just start out cooking.

yes thats true..but this is not my first rom / kitchen...
i must make a break, but i have cooked some roms for niki, blackstone, tornado etc.

I know, I have seen your name come along here before but I was more pointing this out for our new chefs.

Perhaps I have this all wrong...just left everything green on your Kitchen and created the rom, flashed the device...
No Manila
No activesync, when you try to open activesync on the device it says not a valid software or similar...
Perhaps I have done something wrong

@ thuduk
i think you have do something wrong yes
try to choose again the version on the top (the 2056) and then the kitchen must load everything and then it must work.
i have cooked my rom with this kitchen.
but when somebody else have the same problem, please report!

I have opened the kitchen
Selected Tools\Romsaved\bdsv61.erv
everything is green
Create ROM
is that wrong, still no manila, most applications cant be found...

i am cooking again on a other pc.. i tell you if it works..

sorry THUDUK, but by me everything works great...
i have windows 7 and testet 32 and 64 bit!

snap .... will try again

Hello
I have downloaded this kitchen but my antivirus warned me about a trojan/malaware in the zip.file. Is my antivirus just overly cautious?

Thank you in advance...

Cooking a New ROM

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.

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

Is this what i need? : http://joojoobee666.ppckitchen.org/Kitchens/21895/
I download SYS_21895_192DPI_0409
SYS_21895_Common.rar
SYS_21895_XIP.rar

LOL LOL LOL
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.
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
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)...

Same question over here!

aliff thank you for this..... I've been looking for something like this for ages...
It answers a lot of my questions that I had and now I can begin with optimizing and cooking my own ROM...

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

There is already a thread with the same purpose stickied.. It's sparkies kitchen, you can download the latest builds there. Also this forum has a nice search function, search for stuff. Questions you can always ask in sparkies thread (which also links to an awesome tutorial by KWBR).

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.

You can find the latest Manila here:

The CFC application:

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?
