Which version of wm6.5 do you use ?
Sorry for the n00b question, but is it possible to use this kitchen to re-build a ROM from extracted .raw files?

yes
you can use it
Further noob question: How do I create a useable .exe file from a directory in this kitchen (e.g. sqmevent.exe). Is there a compiler of some sort included in the kitchen?
My ROM has lost this file and I am getting annoying errors, so I want to regenerate and replace it...
Cheers,
Jim.
nice to see you here Jerpelea!

Aha. But how do you do that? I've been looking at this thread but I don't get it. There is no guide on the wiki and I cannot figure out what to de when I see the stuff inside the RAR. Care to help? Thanks

I rebuilt a Kaiser ROM in the past (which took me ages), and spent a while trying to do this for my Rhodium ROM with no luck.
I was attempting to reconstruct a Vodafone ROM, which can now be downloaded from Vodafone, so I don't have much need to continue with it.
However I can see that a simple step by step tutorial would be very useful, and possibly a 'rebuilding' kitchen set up specifically for this task, ideally with a folder to put in the part.raws + base ROM, and then a script that did the rest would be marvellous!
Sadly I'm not clever enough to do this, but if you're reading this and it'd be easy for you to do, please share it
I was too deconstucting the vodafone rom that i downloaded, its quite lightweight compared to some other OEM roms but theres still room to strip some stuff out of it, i did try and use the packages i.e. OEM SYS and ROM with the Visual Kitchen along side the EXT folder from my extracted voda rom but that didnt work, all i want to do is get rid of packages haha,
That said i think i managed to get rid of goodle maps, deleted the folder in EXP for the package and used visual kitchen, searched all modules for google and removed any entries for google maps, it doesnt show up anymore, whether or not this means its is not installed im not sure but i cut 2MB off the rom size by getting rid of it...
Little by little (=
How cook with this rom????
i have copy SYS ROM and OEM on root of kitchen
and after that running 2_Create_ROM.bat
when finish open the htctool but the new os.nb have already deleted from the kitchen :S
any idea?
I dont use this kitchen as im not proficient with the whole scrypting/cooking thing yet
Id say if your learning then go for the Visual Kitchen, thats what i use as im just trying to understand how the file system etc works

I'm learning to cook my first rom after reading sometime at this forum. Downloaded Visual Kitchen (seems more user-friendly to a beginner like me) and try to cook a rom. When then rom is cooked, I flash it into my x1i. The problem is it just stuck at the SE logo. I've read that some files need to recmod it (file->module/module->file). But my question is which file(s)/folder(s) to recmod? The 'ROM' folder? The 'SYS' folder? Whole folder or just some files? I'm stuck, I need some guide/advice...
Thanks in advance
rom wont boot for many many reasons......give us details of what u did. like which dump (r3,tp2,etc) u using in ur rom, which sys with what modds, which OEM u using.
and plz donot recmod ur ROM folder.....

Opened Erviuskitchen.exe then disable which package I don't want then 'Create ROM'.
Am I doing it the right way or I'm missing some steps?
Also, the reason I'm asking about recmod is because I read this on the same thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4923011&postcount=1142
Thank you
I found out that why the rom won't boot. It's because I didn't tick the 'Real WM 6.5 AKU'. After I ticked it and re-cook, my phone finally boot.
Thanks for the advice agent_47, I won't recmod my 'ROM' folder
By the way, I got another question, is it that I don't need to recmod any folder if I'm using VisualKitchen?

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.

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

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?

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
How do I get newer builds to my kitchen? Can I extract SYS and XIP from any custom ROM?
Is the language stored in SYS and/or XIP? Cause I want a swedish version in that case.
Yes, I'm a n00b when it comes to cooking. But I think it's interesting and want to learn more
+1 to this question.
Also I have my customized ROM, but I want to exchange only the SYS and XIP with 21905 which I read is the most stable among newest builds.
You need to extract the OEMXIPKernel from XIP from a stock rom for your device. Switch XIP and SYS with the latest packages from another device, go to the XIP section and replace the OEMXIPKernel.
You should keep the ".VM", ".ROM" and "wince.nls" folders/files from the Rhodium ROM.
The process highly depends on the kitchen you're using so I suggest that you post some more info about issues that you're getting while preparing a new rom build.

It's not possible to get SYS and XIP from a custom rom. Get them from a stock rom.
The language files are stored in SYS, in XIP only the wince.nls contains important pieces for language.
I think this questions should be posted in the Chief central.
Edit: Also make sure your boot.rgu is from your device XIP.
