Hello & good morning Every body.
I need a lot of answers to Cook a WM6.1 rom. here are my questions :-
1- How can I convert Cab files into OEM ?
-------------------------------------------
2- How can I modify them to relocate the short cuts to different folders ?
-------------------------------------------
3- How can I delete the Help files from it?
-------------------------------------------
4- what are the tools I need in cooking a rom ?
-------------------------------------------
5- How can I add the OEM packages in the rom ?
-------------------------------------------
6- How can I delele the programs or files that I don't need from the rom ?
-------------------------------------------
7- Do I have to modify the registery and how can I do that ?
-------------------------------------------
8- I read that the net compact framework 3.5 is better than the 2.0, so how can I replace the 2.0 by the 3.5 ?
-------------------------------------------
9- I like the Spb mobile shell and the other Diamond skins for the windows applications like the dialer, the calculaters , contacts and the Windows media player. So how can I merge this application to start as the today screen and how can I replace the windows skins with the diamond skins ? what are their pathways?

Himalaya Kitchen recook any HIMA ROM you like
I built a rom recooker, Well "2"
One for Himalaya, and one for Blue Angel "yes" BA That I'll B' on BA forum "Bye"
I have tested on both my BA,s and my HIMA bless IT, " been flashed some 50 or 60 times" both recooker's cook good rom's first time,
About the recooker's
A basic, Cooking from dump folder, it's all manual editing ! early wm5 style, Cooks WM 5.0 ' 6.0' 6.1 ROMs just like Ather90s kitchens it all runs from a single start.bat file, That has help text at every step' A walk through some TIPs, Comes with all required tools 'reg workshop' and 'HEX editors' that launch automaticaly at every step, File loaded and open ready to edit, Used tools and files are Backed UP and cleaned up at every step, keeping things nice and tidy, Full menu driven options, Once kitchen has been built to completion the kitchen will be ready !! And NOW ! You'll be making a coffee while the test rom flashes to your phone, 2 and milky for ME pls.
You can Make a COFFEE start this tool decompile your favorite ROM, Change "Say" desktop and splash screen's, of the Rom build and be flashing to your PHONE and your coffee's STILL too hot to Drink It's that simple
You can do moor advanced cooking than that i'm "no" programer and after reading about OEM_packages apply a bit of common sence ! your "COOKING"
I'v got HTC' calc, dialer, WMP, comm,s manager HTC today_*.TSK onscreen keyboard skin all cooked in now in the colors i want ! It took one evening for the BA, A bit of reading about editing ,*rgu ,*.reg and initflashfiles.dat the initflashfiles.dat is were you customize your program folders and move files to different folders Ie: WMP Skins need installing into wmp?? folder Download A WMP_oem and study IT u'll see
1 hr for the hima,
Please NOTE the test build is also part of the kitchen Setup process It takes 15 to 20 mins and if you do it "my way" it will work FIRST TIME Then you know your rom cooker works
Enjoy
Swampy395
Install reg editor first. Then "read" !! ReadMe First.txt in Kitchen_HIMA_0.1.0 folder Put in root of drive ie: c:\Kitchen_HIMA_0.1.0 for best results DO not rename any part or folders of this kitchen ! you can make your own Folders but not in the "dump" enjoy
P.S. If you don't see my custom images "set" windows default for today screen that should do it
Kitchen upgrade some new tools and help files added it shows more files than the old one, There are some files that are still hidden
don't unhide them or your rom won't work !
If you want to see the changes you will have to reset your kitchen (1) enter then (R) uppercase R enter this will delete any work you have !!

Hi and thank do have another read of "read me first".TXT and read the dos windows too, DSM delete it rgu copy to Kitchen_HIMA_0.1.0 folder then double click rgu to reg then double click the new *.reg file created and copy the entries into relivent sections of the registry take care to get them in the correct positions HKLM IN HKLM etc initflashfiles.txt your's is empty,thats OK, do nothing for this package ! this package has no need of entries you would copy and past into your initflashfiles check for double entries also delete the "option file " not required copy all other files to the dump. ervius tool is a good tool
P.S. did you do the test build and did it work first time thanks Swampy395

Hi
I have installed the growing panel, and in exitement i went to panelmanager and tried to find the growing panel. But it is not in list.. It is showed in settings/installed programs... Is this becuase i use a danish rom?(generic R2A)
Oh and i have installed the ActiveX thing...
You must install the Active X. And look on the folders: Do you have:
Program Files\Panels\Growing Panels...
I have installed "Sony Ericsson Flash Deployment" is this the correct active X thingy?
And yes i have that panel folder..
The panel installs into the "program files" folder - in German e.g. "programme". If thats the case you have to change the registry entries to "programme" instead of "program files" which they are right after installation. this counts for every non-english installation.
That did the trick
So i simply opened the reg with total commander, found the panels/growing panel, and edited all the paths(6 og 7 i think) thank you
ive the same problem, ive allready installed the activex flash thing , im from germany and i switched the registry to "programme" but it does not work , could it not work because iam usin an older rom ?
what reg did you guys open?
I don't find it. I have the original T-Mobile dutch rom.
you need a program like this http://freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml
its in registry\HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\Panels\Growing Panel
For german roms, you must not edit the registry. Make a new folder in xperia: Program Files - And here you move the tree "Flash Panels" and "Panels - Growing Panel" from Programme
thanks for the usefull information, it works , good reply "thumbs up"
Thanks! It works eventually!
Looks nice!
Ok, I changed the Cab file so it works on the Dutch X1. Download Below
Growing Panel
toppie jongen. Erg mooi. Houd namelijk niet zo van reg's aanpassen.
thanks friend. very nice. Don't like to change reg's

Hello,
Do you have maby an other link.. i cant download it from rapidshare.. Hope you can help me.. ThnQ in advantage.. Greetz nanja
I've the same problem, but in the registry, i see that i need a "flash panel" folder, which i don't have. Is this from a program that i need to install ?
It's Working now, i followed this Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565158
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.

hi all,

greatz,
rudie
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.
Ur my hero !!!!!!!!

Can u make a guide-specific for Photon / Mini ? I'm not noob in modding of devices, but in WM devices yes.......
SoftWord said:

The drivers are stored in a different section in the kitchen (OEM) so you can freely change the windows mobile build.

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 ?

Yes it is necessary that you click on Yes or the rom won't boot.

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.

You should import the latest italian ROM update and you can directly import the updater (EXE) file.

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
Hello people, i require a cab for the standard htc s730 Task Manager v1.22 (814.710) Build or something very close to that. for windows mobile 6.0 qvga non-touch screen.

Why are you looking for it? CeleTask is a lot better But if you realy need i can send you some files. Any concrecte language??
I require it, because it got corrupted, if you have the original one, can you please upload the cab for it in English language please. thanks

thanks mate, but these files didnt work when i opened them on my fone
Like i thought:/ You have some registry changes, don't let corectly run IA_Task_Manager.exe. Only way is restore default registry setings from another phone, or Hard Resed the device...
