How-To build a ROM:
Extract the DEV folder
Extract one ROM to DEV
Extract one OS to DEV
Extract one LOC to DEV
Extract all OEM Packages you need to OEM
Run CreateOS.exe and click the button
Run CreateROM.bat
Done, your new ROM is located at DEV/Temp/NK.nbf
How-To build ur own OEM Package:
An OEM Package is just a simple folder containing files and registry settings for the ROM
First of all you'll need a GUID number for your Package.
Go to http://kruithof.xs4all.nl/ uuid/uuidgen to get one.
In my case:
283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db
Necessary steps:
1. Create a new folder:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/
2. Create a empty text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.dsm
(CreateOS.exe will finish this file for you)
If needed:
3. Create an UNICODE text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.rgu
This file could be used to add registry entries to the ROM
First line is:
REGEDIT4
...
and there MUST be a empty line at the end!!
4. Create an UNICODE text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/initflashfiles.txt
This file could be used to create folders or copy files on the ROM.
Example: Open Dev/LOC/initflashfiles.dat using a text editor
Copy all files you need to Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/
First Big Thanks to MAMAICH for his great tools that makes this possible, and BEPE for this briliant method of buildin rom that make it really easy for everyone and also BIG Thanks to indra9110 for lot of help, thanks dra...really appreciate it bro...
This is still on test stage, so trust me, something might be wrong or anything, I'm really need an input on this method, since I'm not so familiar with bepe's briliant way, he'll do it better I supposed? hehe....
Midget_1990, xplode, Black6spdZ, thingonaspring, logout , tautara and others input and help will be a huge help for make it better.
regard,
Helmi

Hi helmi,
Coupla broken links....
OS link should be
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blue Angel/ROM_KITCHEN/OS/OS_AKU3.2_TEST.rar
ROM Link shoudl be
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Blue Angel/ROM_KITCHEN/ROM/nk.rar
let's get some OEM packages up here pronto!

wow, thanks helmi_c
looking forward for ppl to post nice packages

Hi helmi, this is real good stuff.
What's the intention however? I quite like the current state of affairs with everyone focussing on one ROM. One ROM to rule them all etc.
Is the idea for people to start creating their own? I'd rather see everyone pull together to produce one fantastic BA WM5 ROM. We aren't all that far away from it just now. But if we start to fragment the effort, it'll slow things right down.

I made many packages for my Himalaya. It would be great to make some place on ftp to share them. This place shouln't be device specific (as I remember some of packages are uploaded into BA or Wizard section)
But better place would some wiki page, where people could write which package works on which hardware.
Also it's good idea to notice in package name which version of software it is, and if it's UPXed or not (I'm UPXing almost all packages gaining about 50% of space)
I have:
AKU 2.2+ Title Bar Clock
AutocompletePL
Call2Contact_1.0
CamRecSvc_by_ADX
Cambridge_bluetooth (Himalaya)
Compact_Framework_2
DKToday 1.80
DSP
DorucenkaSMS
ExtROMUnlock_UPX
File Support
FlightMode (Himalaya?)
GB-SOFT Tweak
MagicButton_2.0_UPX
NetCFVersion
O2_Operator_UPX
PQView
Regedit_PHM_0.70+TRE_0.90_UPX
Reset
SimMessaging 0.04
SoftKeyAppletEx
TaskMgr1.6
Tcpmp_0.72RC1_UPX
TodayAgenda
Toggle
Total Commander 2
TreoSpeedDial_UPX
VJVolubilis_0.41_UPX
WM2k5 SMS Alert Fix (Himalaya?)
WM5 NewMenu_1.0_UPX
WM5torage 1.7 (seems 1.5 is more stable)
XCPUScalar
idiffce_0.3_UPX
Personally i miss AEButton package but can't do it.
Some of them are unfinished (NET CF2 is the most important of them), some of them are untested because i'm still in process of converting new packages
And it would be nice to group packages by type, maybe place them in submenus

its still early stage, we need more people involved, but maybe with thingonaspring here (I believe he ready to put some nice stuff here), midget, blackspz, logout, tautara, xplode , everyone who willing to work as a team, for me its doesnt matter who build/make the rom, I believe we just want a ROM that we can use right? so working together on the fix / update issues would produce a "Best" or "less bug" rom, plus with ability to customizing it for personal use. well, at least that my intention. hopes we all can work together.

this is exactly what I want.. people share their stuff.. and make our BA more rich with feature/option on spesific stuff... yes u might modify anything if u thing necessary (as long u didnt delete it ...lol) and inform about the update, so others know about it.

hmm... maybe that could happen, but I beleive if we make it together? maybe it'll slow a bit, but more bug will be fix/resolve, share experience, it doesnt matter about who makes the rom. well, we'll see about this proggress...

About ROM Kitchen and 'the One ROM'
The ROM Kitchen is a wonderful idea.
IMO, things should walk towards stabilizing a base ROM with all features working (including WModem ).
But we also shouldn't leave to the users the effort to create their own ROMs, that's too troublesome.
Maybe all devs could get closer together and agree on some tools to integrate to it, and call it the 'XDA ROM', instead of Bepe, Helmi, TuMa or whatever.
So, we could have a 'BASE ROM', meant to be used on the ROM Kitchen, and the XDA ROM supported by all devs, built from the BASE ROM with tools which were agreed to be useful, so the less geeky can have a nice working ROM to update their BAs with. With things like PHM regedit, ability to choose between BT stacks, GB Soft Tweak and other useful stuff.
That does not stop the devs from having their own name branded ROMs placed on the site...

Agreed, a base ROM system is the best of both worlds. Say I was to pickup a base ROM and build on it, is there anything I can do that can't be done using ExtROM installers? Sure, you get to put stuff in the ROM, but it's already stuffed full it would seem!
I remember reading about an anti-theft application that you could put in the ROM. If the phone number changed, it would start sending you text messages telling you about the current owner/thief. Is this an option for the BA once we get a kitchen?

I will test it tonight after work, , i will test my latest SAP package and maybe if it works OK i will post it in this thread
i still have to dump some devices roms to see what can i get from them, at this moment i have new versions of CommManager and WlanMgr and maybe fix for wifi integration, but first should test it...
Once again i want to thank everyone involved in WM5 development for BA
It will be a very long list .. so i will mention just a few names:
mamaich, bepe, helmi, logout, tuatara, Midget_1990 and many more

Right way to roll in UPXed system apps?
OK, I have just decompressed all files, but I have no OEM packages rolled int yet.
I have tested many UPXed system dlls and exes, and I would like to roll them in to save space, in place of the original ones.
Where do I put them?

Attempted to build a base rom from the files provided and i am getting an error after clicking on CreateOS. The error is "Error: OS\2849e391-1e39-4a98-87b9-53932dec51d3 is not listed in packages.sof". How do you add or remove packages listed in the sof file or is that possible? How can i remedy this error?
Thanks in advance

i have 3 errors for 3 folders in os folder, i just moved them into oem folder
more results soon

I had the 3 errors too, and moved the files to OEM. The ROM image was built (apparently) was successfully built.
BUT, the million dollar question is:
How much free space do we have without adding any OEM stuff at all (a BARE ROM)?
We need to know our KB budget to know how much we can roll in...

I have the same error. What did you move exactly?
OK i have it.
It's:
2849e391-1e39-4a98-87b9-53932dec51d3
e3055288-19cd-4317-9125-a63654628fb3
fb30fdba-23d9-4a92-af78-041b1ee1d46c

Move them from the OS directory to the OEM directory

When you get the error, move the folder with that name to OEM.
Another subject:
Hey all,
I have unpacked the ROM (nk.nba), replaced all folders ending with .exe and .dll with the actual file contained in each, and UPXed all exes and dlls.
Suspicious files are automatically skipped by UPX, and I compressed them with 'upx -i --compress-exports=0 --compress-resources=0 --strip-relocs=0', because when I was testing compressing (Office) with the default options, it didn't work. All compressible files worked, with these options.
The 'dump' contents went from 52,3 MB to 30,6 MB.
The catch: I don't know if the nk.nba generated from them will work
I haven't tried repacking it into an nba and flashing a ROM. Does anyone want to experiment with this file?
EDIT:
After BuildImgfs.exe finished, it reported the following:
Total Sectors: d2a8
Used Sectors : b984
Free Sectors : 1924
In decimal: 53928,47492,6436.
How big is a IMGFS sector? 512bytes? 1KB? more?
/EDIT

i did it with a few files
simply deleted them and created OEM package with UPXed versions
My Himalaya is flashing now AKU 3.2!
It flashed ok, hovewer entering BT settings hangs device
I will wait for Bepe
EDIT: BT stack is my fault cause by UPXing it

i create my rom ... very fast
but when i turn off my 9090 , it don't turn on ( display is balack) :evil:
any solution?

hi,
how to build a SD-Card Images?

Helmi CF2 by baniaczek vs R4 - xplode - Wich is the best Rom now?

Comparison between Helmi_BA_WM2k5_AKU3.5_v1.4.CF2 by baniaczek and BA WM5 AKU3.5 R4 - xplode.
I would want to upgrade my Blue Angel. which of the two it is the best one? I would want to have stability with Bluetooth and WiFi to use with GPS e surf in the web. You excuse me for my bad English…

Don't compare them now. Wait two days - wait for bug fix release.
Today - use xplode.

try both
for u to find out.

Now I see another upgrade: R4 Lazy Release

xplode R5 seems on the way too!

Hmm Banizczek, I knew bug_fix release coming in 2 days, I can't wait to see what else is fixed/enhanced.
Your hard work is VERY appreciated.
Hopefully the BA_Goodies will be included in it (psShutXP, Softkey, RunningPrograms, TaskMgr) + Mail_Fix + SmartDial.

BEST ROM?
Yeah, i agree with them..
you better try both for u to find out..
the 2 of them hav nice roms..
just kip on trying newer ROMS, theres no harm in flashing ur BA
with these ROMS..
in my case, for now am using Xplode r4, newer version on the way even..

You have convinced to me, you could say the procedure to me of installation of the Rom Xplode R4? I have read that I must set up something on the telephone operator

there is nor R5 on the way, i am still seeking ways to include .NET CF 2 SP2 inside but have no space left, it will be easy for baniaczek to include it because he already has .NET CF 2 SP1
and i think that there is no best WM5 rom, because they all are hacked to work on BA, they are not created specially for the device, thats why there are some known bugs which can not be fixed
afterall baniaczek edition of helmi's rom looks really promissing, so wait for the next release
about my roms, the lazy release does not need setting operator, so the upgrade procedure will be exactly the same as in any other wm5 rom
also i will post a kitchen to my R4 rom, but now i am configuring it, it is based on the newest Bepe's rom kitchen for Hermes (but of course it will be for BA) and it is a lot more easyer to build with it, you can choose which components you want and customize your roms better. For example you can create rom without office apps, or media player, or without any software which is included by default. But i am still working on it.

What about selective UPXing of dlls and exes? Yeah, some UPXed stuff might render it not working, it is a tedious process of UPXing stuff one by one, putting it on the ROM and then, if it works, flash a rom with them.
Have you UPXed everything possible in the R4 ROM?

could I user this kitchen to get rid of camera support?

A lot of things are already UPXed (in helmi's ROM, xplode's ROM - probably too).
And there is still not enough room. In my ROM, for example - about 20 free sector, 512 byte each. UPX is not revolution itself - IMGFS files are compressed gives some compression itself, so UPXing small files gives no impact results.
net.cf dll's are very large, but cann't be UPXed - the are signed, so UPX skips signed files.
It is very hard to save even 1MB of ROM. For that reason I've decide to remove some things (MSN, transcriber) from ROM.

OKAY

i believe u dnt have to set that operator anymore..
Upgrade procedure:
1.Extract the rar somwhere in your computer
2.Open the folder in which the files were extracted
3.Copy EXTROM folder to your SD card (you may want to edit it but ... i wont include this into the instructions)
4.Put your device in Bootloader mode and place it to cradle
5.Start MAupgradeUT_NOID.exe and follow the onscreen procedure
6.Perform WM5 Hard Reset

Personally, I have no use for powerpoint mobile. Actually I have never read a single Office document in my BA. all 3 apps could go EXTROM IMO. but maybe Word and excel are used by some, maybe they need to stay. Powerpoint mobile is the biggest of teh 3 exes I believe, at least this one could go EXTROM.
gdiplus.dll is not upxed, I copied it to my windows machine and it compresed to 36.78 original size. Sure, the space savings is not as big on IMGFS, but still...
some time ago I tried compressing some files, I believe gwes.exe is compressible too, and it's big. maybe you could check if it's already upxed...

I agree with BJ. All these 3 apps can go to EXTROM, eventhough I still use word and excel rarely though.
What about calculator? I believe most people would install a better version calculator. i know calculator program doesnt eat up a lot of ram, but it is still something...
And, just out of curiosity, what are the most used input method? I always use Block Recognizer. i believe people would only use 1 fav, however maybe Keyboard has to be left out as it is - just in case your friend/partner want to borrow ur phone for a quick sms or something, and they dont know how to use block/letter recognizer. Maybe it is a good idea to have block recognizer & letter recognizer to be excluded as EXTROM, just like what Baniaczek has done with Transcriber (This is very neat since it improves the time to change input method).
Btw, any news on bluetooth random wakeup issue?
Cheers

Da_G for wm6.5 porting and bug solving

which version of the blackstone are you taking them from?
I've not used the very latest rom yet, but the best Dshow seem to be from the 2nd quartz rom.
So you've got an X1 now? Are you likely to be getting involved in the android dev for it?

i was working on all known bugfixes
removed pannels
added tf3d (blackstone)
added calculator
fixed storage
fixed comm manager
fixed dialer
i hope to upload today the latest version
added UPX compression
BR

Feels like a dumb question, but can we download this somewhere? I'd like to experiment on cooking my own rom. I don't have the illusion I can do it better than Itje or Jack, but some experience on how hard it is to release a stable rom would be nice......

Kitchen Launched

Error building boot.hv
Using all of the default application selections, I receive the error popup 'Error building boot.hv!'
The log.txt file in the temp directory is:

*EDIT* Looks like the kitchen doesn't work on Windows 7, but it does on Vista.

Created and flashed with this, pretty impressed with the speed of it...only thing I see is that the bot up is very slow,but once the today screen comes up...very fast.. Had to create and flash 2 times as was stated in the directions for this.

will let you know how it goes.

hi there, i've tried your new kitchen with diamond 2 oem and its working great, thanks for sharing this kitchen.
1. i just noticed that i takes a while for the album tab to load pictures & for the music tab to search music.
2. also in settings tab, my contact card does not do anything.
3. and also in home tab, the camera soft key is not working.
4. the hardware keyboard is messed up.
other than that it works great & fast including in landscape mode.
will still test some more with this new kitchen.
thanks again.
edit:
1. i noticed that the contact editor is not working properly, when adding favorite people manila restarts.

...Cool...New Manila

Excellent job!!! I'm looking forward to the WM6.5 kitchen. I wanna see if i can put the new tfl3d on it.

yes it really is superb, the new manilla has some of the same errors as ITJE's beta 1.
Contacts mainly, but otherwise it's very well done. build is very easy.
OH and it does work in WM7, it's just some of the tools used need setting to be vista compat mode (running as admin helps as well).

I think there is a deeper issue with the contacts tab because tfl3d still crashes when u do certain things in the contacts tab. I wonder if we are missing something important....

Noob Cooker Release: WM6.1 PRO Build 19214

My very first successfully cooked ROM
**WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19214 (Build 19214.1.0.4)
SYS & XIP from Kaiser Official Rom
Stock-like Rom with stock like functions.
Get it Here: http://jmaverion.net/treo750/WM6.1build19214.rar
Since I desperately needed a WM6.1 with a higher build than the standard 19199 for work, I set out to learn how to cook a higher build rom. After 3 days of work and a bunch of failed roms I did it. This is my very first cooked working rom. Seems pretty stable. Please review and mention any bugs....One bug to mention is that OneNote installs itself into another "Office Mobile" folder creating an extra Office Mobile folder.

Congratulations! Do you think it is possible to build a wm6.5 rom with this kitchen or is it straight wm6.1?
Greetings

Need good recipe for installing new ROM
What post has easiest directions for installing ROM? Flashing phone is needed? but not sure what that entails or requires (sofware?)...

after short test:
- in programs is folder Office mobile multiple
- missing skin for Windows media
- bottom bar sometimes is not changing skin or on click show old skin
+ storage free 53Mb
+ palm messaging etc.
keep work and good luck to next relase
What about WM6.5? Can you cook WM6.5? because Veisen ROM is only beta.

Look for the Unlocking and Unbranding post. It has the easiest directions for unlocking you phone and putting on the HardSPL for flashing custom ROMS
as for installing custom roms on a phone already HardSPL'ed just use that flasher I included in the download.

Thanks for the feedback. TO add to the list of bugs for this version, I found that with SPB Mobile Shell 3 and HTC Home installed, after making a phone call it seems to have a memory leak.
As for the request of a WM6.5 for the treo, I'll start working on one next week. I have exam finals this weekend.

[KITCHEN][16.10.2011] nsourm Kitchen

This thread is meant for Kitchen discussion only! (e.g. problems with cooking, possible fixes and/or updates for the kitchen, etc.)
Pre-built stock nsourm’s ROMs ready for flashing (built using this kitchen)
5 versions
This is the same kitchen i've used for my rom
The kitchen is prepared in 9 languages:
0C0A = Spanish rom
040C = French rom
0406 = Danish rom
0407 = German rom
0408 = Greek rom
0409 = WWE rom
0410 = Italian rom
0413 = Dutch rom
0419 = Russian rom
How to cook a ROM
Step 1: Extract the Kitchen
Extract nsourm kitchen in a folder of your choice eg c: folder.
Step 2: Starting up
Once you've extracted the file, you can start the kitchen by launching osKitchen.exe.
This is how it should look like: (see pic1)
Click on the button "Open Project" and select the inside the htc photon folder the type of ROM you want to use as a Base. You can choose between the five versions. (pic2)
Once you have loaded up your kitchen, you have the same setup i used for the release of my roms.
You could now just press "Start building rom" and build your first rom, however this kitchen is meant so users can create their personal ROMs (with only the stuff you need)
Note that i have already dissabled some packages but you can pass the message and build the rom.
Step 3: Customization
Once you've loaded a «stock ROM», u can customize it to your own needs. U can exclude packages, add new packages, or edit some of the app.reg files to tweak it even more.
To exclude a package, u simply need to unmark the package by pressing the box next to the package, and the packages will be disabled and not used while building the ROM.
The sys tab is for windows mobile build. Be careful with this tab, because there are some packages that can’t be disabled. I've already include sys packages 23152, 29013, 29017, 29020, 29022.The last one is new one so if you build a rom with that you are going to have a brand new rom.
The ext packages tab is the main tab and this can be modified easily.
Keep in mind however that some packages are required for some core functions of the ROM and/or sense. I did my best categorising the stuff in folders so it's easier to know which packages can be removed without affecting functionality.
There are 2 extra folders
1. Sourmelidis apps
2. Sourmelidis cht modifications and tweaks
Both folders include extra apps and modifications that can be excluded from rom without affecting anything
The advanced tweaks tab is for some tweaks for the whole rom, such as cfc compressed rom, pagepool. Splash screen etc
Step 4: Building and flashing
Once you're ready, just go ahead and press the "Start building" button, this will take a while (it depends on how fast is your pc, laptop).
Once done, you will get a file called "ruu_signed???.nbh" in the HTC photon output folder
This file is your ROM, it's built and now ready to be flash, with the known procedure using cottulas sspl
And of course the link to download.

I would like to thank:
1. Airxtreme for kitchen
2. Donators
3. And of course all of you who have provided me with feedback, bug and reports because you make the kitchen- rom better.
Unfortunately due to lack of time i can’t support it as i want to but you can find answers to the windows mobile development thread, or by posting in the kitchen’s thread so someone except me(if i can) will answer your question
As i mentioned before i don’t have much time so i can’t promise many things for future versions of the kitchen. I will try to do my best………..
You can use the kitchen to publish your rom in any site, but it will be nice if you mention somewhere my name……..But if you don’t want there is no problem.
At last i want to mention that i’m not a programmer (i would like to,but…) so you can make the kitchen even better.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
of course you can do that.But you are going to start from scratch and this is a big job...

here is the answer if someone dose the same mistake i did (wrong cooking ) ,after flashing a bad ''built by me'' rom the device would't boot anymore .
1.Enter bootloader mode (device off, VOL DOWN + POWER simult.)
2.Flash stock rom for your device (only,you can download it using youre phone SN )
3.That's it ,now you can flash any rom you want
Hope this can help those having trouble experimenting like me

will upload later and different win mobile builds
