Most Used tool/kitchen for Trinity Rom editing

Just want to know what's the most used tool for trinity rom editing, simple batch files? some rom kitchen?

I don't do a lot of rom editing, but I'm using some batch files to do it, along with enhanced imgfs tools, I really hate the folder structure created by most rom kitchens, too messy, I rather edit a single dump folder, schaps had a really user-friendly rom kitchen, but unfortunaly he doesn't have the time to develop it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304461

I prefere bepe's rom kitchen, never seen the schaps one. If you do just some file editing you can handle with the dump folder, but when you have to add / remove packages from a rom (for examlpe office, or all OEM stuff) then it's better, cleaner and easier to work with packages and a rom kitchen.

I see, but are the Hermes tools 100% compatible with Trinity?

If you want to dump an "unprotected" rom of your choice, put it in the folder/Tools/RomSaved/Ruu_signed.nbh
Click in the visual kitchen under left on the field "Dump nbh/nb/payload", there will be made a new folder in
/Tools/RomSaved/dump with the extracted rom of your choice in it.
Now use the content of this folder as the base of your new kitchen.
I'm a "USER" myself so don't think I can solve all your problems.
I started this kitchen thread to help everybody to build their own rom for the BlackStone.
The blackstone kernel can't handle many modules in the native kernel.
The WM 6.5 native kernel is patched for use with the BlackStone.
Now use the content of this folder as the base of your new kitchen.
Don't use spaces in your kitchen folder name like this "c:\My Kitchen" but use it like this "c:\My_Kitchen".
Don't blame me as you brick your device, you are using this tool at your own risk.
Don't thank me, say thank you to Bepe, Ervius, Da_G and "ALL WHO SHARES" for there nice work

thanks man will u update kitchen with new build and OEM

could some one give a guideline how to cooking from this kitchen ? tks

Follow the step by step guide and you are able to build your own rom

Hello and many thanks for posting this!
Just built a test rom using this kitchen. Not changed anything.
My rom boots fine and looks good and is nice and fast. But the SD card is not listed in file manager. It seems to be missing from the system all together.
Any idea?
Thanks

the kitchens oem seems to be messy when trying to make clean rom i get extra files like BBC player autovolume pls try to clean kitchen

I connected through active sync and can reach the SD card on my device,
I dumped and extrcted rom 156 wwe in the kitchen and then added the sys and xip from 21232 and 21232 to it .
So all the drivers and so on should be in the kitchen, and I didn't take anything out.

@vjsxda
The dump is from 156 rom and the xip and sys are 21231 and 21232 nothing more in it.
Load rom "premium.erv" and then double click on "true" in the first row, the whole way down and enable or disable anything you want to build your own rom.
Save rom under any name you like for futer use.

not sure whats going on then! I ripped a standard 1.57 rom into it and built that and my SD shows up. Yet when I build it from the kitchen you posted I get no SD card.
No idea whats going wrong! I will try extracting the kitchen again.

To make your own clean kitchen put any not protected ruu_signed.nbh in the folder /Tools/RomSaved.
Click in the kitchen on the button "Dump nbh/nb/payload" and a new dump of the kitchen will be created in the folder /dump with all the folders like /Ext, /Oem, /Sys, /Rom from the extracted ruu_signed.nbh in it.
Then add any build xip and sys in the /Rom and /Sys folder and make your own build rom with the OS you want

When you do not check the xip,oem and sys fields Under Hide in the top left corner of the kitchen Ervius says you can rebuild your rom.
I tried but it didn't worked for me
Sorry wrong answer from my side
Ervius did made a version were you could check a field "unprotect" but it worked not out the wright way so he took it back.
The fields I mentioned above you can use when you build your own rom and you don't want to make any changes to this parts, you can hide them and so use this parts as they are before.

Any chance you would re-release this kitchen, with your sys, xip etc?

Problem...just did a test. Build rom using the "Real 6.5 AKU" option, my HD just stuck at smart mobility screen. While not choosing 6.5 AKU option, rom is good to boot, but the 1st boot screen is WM 6.1, then it comes a WM6.5 screen. Phone running a bit sluggish, and system settings like Device Information, G-Sensor, TouchFlo, cannot be launched. I am on HardSPL 1.56. Anyone having the same problem?

Hello
I had exactly the same problem.Everything was sluggish,no SD card was shown some apps didnt work like the ones you mentioned.
I had to use a tool called recmod on the browsing folders. As soon as I did this my next rom build was super fast and speedy with no sluggish performance at all.
My SD card was shown correctly and the apps that wouldnt work now work OK.
---
I then decided to make my own Kitchen using the 1.57 Base instead. Ported the new SYS and XIP in and my rom is working first go.
Sweet.

That's because your the XIP doesn't contain a "native 6.5" nk.exe (kernel) and it can't handle as many modules as a real 6.5 kernel would. Therefore, you can only check that box on a Touch Pro ROM for now.
As you can check in this thread from ervius http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469420 the man behind this kitchen many problems are solved here.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469420 post 839 you can read the whole story.
The blackstone kernel can't handle as many modules as the native kernel of the ralph (which is where I assume you got that latest 6.5 release).
So what you have to do is "flatten" some of these modules. In other words, you have to turn them back into regular files. You can do that with recmod.exe found in the \tools folder. I would start with all the files in browsing, browsingcore and browsing IE. You coudl also not include "myphone" or "skybxo" and "windows live" which has a crapload of modules. If it boots without including those, then you're good. Just turn them all into files

How to optimize/create a ROM? Topaz Cooking related questions here

Hi all!
I'm new at this, but I'd like to learn how I download a normal ROM, and then change the icons and background images, add and remove programs, change the language etc.
I will not go in and change the very advanced stuff.
I've already downloaded this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625971
I do not know if it is correct (or latest), and what more I need. But the easiest might be to go into an already completed the ROM and then just adjust what I have mentioned above.
Hoping for constructive answers
Sincerely,
PS! I've already downloaded and tried different ROMs, so I know how I am doing just that.

What if you try Mondilv ROM kitchen. His kitchen is on the latest official ROM based and works fine. I based my private ROM on his work.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm downloading it now for testing and to try to find out how to edit it myself.
But what's the newest 6.5.3 (or 6.6) kitchen?

The kitchens are the same, it depends what ROM is used as a base. As far as I know, there is no kitchen shared with 6.5.3 ROM, you will have to do it by yourself. The SYS and XIP files for 6.5.3 are somewhere here in the forum available, EXT and OEM can be found as well.

I've looked at this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6LEUx4wEk4&translated=1 but I can't find a program that looks like that. Which program is it that I need to use? I've tried NBHUtil, but that doesn't seemed to be the right one...
I'm actually just gonna do what I was saying in the first post, and when I manage to do it, I will experiment further.

Search for Ervius Visual Kitchen or EVK, and you will find it.
Available as well on my mirror in the kitchen folder. Check my signature for the link.

I think I just give up all these OEM, EXT, MsXIP files, etc.
But is it possible for me to get into the "windows" folder on the ROM I use? I would like to change such as icon images, erase and install other programs and may change the language (which is not very important, but had been fine), etc.
I see that I can get into the "windows" folder on your mobile, but it takes so long to sit there to puzzle. It is easier through the laptop, with mice and larger screen.
Thank you for following up this thread, BeeGee_Tokyo

You can use a file explorer like Total Commander or Resco File Explorer on your device to overwrite or delete files in the Windows folder. However, as long as you do not know what the files that you are deleting are doing, the device might hang afterwards and you have to do a hard reset.
If you want to change icons/pictures of the Sense (aka Manila aka TouchFlo) you can use a tool named Manila Editor.
If you want to change other icons/pictures, they are sometimes in DLL files. Usually you cannot replace them, because they are "in use" by Windows.
Back again to the kitchen, you can find the kitchen that you saw in the youtube movie prepared with a ROM for Topaz here in the forum.
I published my kitchen, check my thread.
Don't worry, even the ROM has a Japanese name, it is based on an English WM6.5 ROM. Not that advanced as Dutty, Mondilv, Iljanok, Patensas, Aman, ......... ROMs, but stable and good for daily use.
PM me if you have specific questions on the kitchen.

Now I'm downloading mondilv's kitchen v.4.1.
That's 6.5, and in english language. Do anyone know where I can find a ROM that runs WM6.5.3 that I can use as ROM-base? (ex. the newest official ROM on htcpedia?)

A summary so far:
1. I have dumped this ROM and have it as a base; http://htcpedia.com/official_norwagian_rom_update_for_touch_diamond2/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html?page=1 (0414 = norwegian language)
2. Downloaded all three .zip files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5310417&postcount=344) and using the build 23518 in SYS, EXT and ROM folders.
3. Disabled some of the programs I do not want (although I do not quite understand what all programs do, of course I understand that YouTube is YouTube, etc. but ...)
4. Set page pool to 20 (no idea what this means but have seen that it is most common: P)
So some questions:
5. Why is there not a automatically "device id"? What is this?
6. How do I add programs (eg Skype, mySpot)? Can I add these. Cab files into the EXT folder?
7. If I want to remove various tones, images, icons of the programs, how can I do this?
So a few questions about Ervius Visual bebe's kitchen v.1.8.2:
8. What is LZX Compression?
9. What is OLD style ROM?
Would've been nice if someone could help me

Is there anyone that can help me with these few questions?

5. Not sure what this error is.
6. To add programs you must find the OEM package and add it to the Ext folder, cabs will not install from the kitchen.
7. I would search the kitchen for .wav, .mp3, .jpg, .png, .gif etc. to for items to customize. make sure they are exactly as they were before you replaced them as far as resolution, filenames, etc.
Icons and manila are more indepth so it is best to find a theme package that suites your tastes. I strongly suggest looking into max Manila as and OEM package.
8. LZX compression is a file compressor that reduces the overall size of the ROM. it can cause issues but it is always good to try it.
9. Old style ROM, I believe this is to use old style packages and normally would not be used.

Ok, thanks for answering
Point 5 is critical, because I can't save or create a ROM without a device id.
Does anybody know why or how I can get it?

The problem with the device id is that it doesen't show/make an id automatically, and I can't wright anything there so it's kind of difficult do make a device id. And as I mentioned before, I can't save or create a ROM without the id.

Is there anyone that can help me how to get a device id?
Is it because the base I'm using?
