Help creating a WM 6.5 ROM

Hi All,
I'm trying to cook my first ROM and would like it to be on WM 6.5
I tried the Blackstone kitchen posted here but unfortunately all the WM6.5 ROMs are not extractable - I tried ALL of them.
Would any of the ROM cookers be kind enough to make his ROM extractable by the kitchen or perhaps point me to a tutorial explaining how to create a WM6.5 ROM for the Touch HD (i.e. import from a ROM cooked for another device).
I did search the forum before asking but couldn't find anything.
Your help is much appreciated and thanks for your help in advance.

I guess starting with a WM6.5 rom isn't that clever, as you must know a lot of xip porting. I haven't tried it myself, but as far as I know there were also some issues with the drivers.
Have you already tried davideuck's version? "Rom-source" sounds good, doesn't it?

I've always wondered what the [ROM-SOURCE] means but now I noticed that davideuck has included the SYS and XIP. Although I still have no idea what these are, it's food for thought and I'll do some digging to get more information.
In the meantime, if anyone can help with any information, it will be much appreciated.
I appreciate your reply john, thanks very much.

Some information is given here:
ivanmmj said:
Q: What is the XIP?
A: It's the kernel of the ROM.
Q: What is the SYS folder?
A: It's where all the new apps included in each Windows Mobile release are stored. PM me asking me where to find them.

My problem, as I said in the first post, is that all the WM6.5 ROMs are not extractable - I tried ALL of them.
I am now playing with ROM/Kitchen posted in this thread - exactly what I need.
I have already cooked a ROM using the thread above and will be adding my apps and registry tweaks possibly this weekend when I have some spare time.
Thanks for your help John.

Blackstone update with Rhodium WM6.5 rom?

Hi
Is it possible to update the HTC Touch HD (Danish Blackstone) with a Danish WM6.5 Rhodium original rom?
Except from the hardware keyboard, the hardware (processor, memory) should be the same.
Is there any descriptíon for changing a Rhodium rom to a Blackstone rom?
Thank all you guys for your great work.

It is possible somewhat, you need to port the ROM to be able to use with a blackstone, something many chefs already have done, you could look into cooking your own ROM

yes, i think Miri V29 and DUtty's R15 is somewhat similar to the Official Rhodium update.

But there are people (like me) out there who don´t want a "somewhat similar" ROM but a Stock-ROM delievered by HTC/Vodafone/whoever, only ported to Blackstone...

I am also searching for such a description, wanna also change a Rhodium-ROM (GER) to Blackstone, but haven´t found anything like this yet. And the thread i asked a chief to do this was closed by the Mods
So if anyone has a hint/tutorial/description how to PORT a ROM from Rhodium to Blackstone please let me/us know....

You wont be able to use an offical rhodium/topaz rom for blackstone, different drivers etc.
Download kitchen tools here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469420
Dump a blackstone rom and an official 6.5 rom, take drivers from the blackstone dump and apps etc from the rhodium/topaz rom, build yourself a new rom
For more info just search this rom forum for help on cooking lessons, plenty of info available.
Good luck.

Ok, so if i understood this right i need:
A Dump of my GER WM6.1-Blackstone-ROM
The original GER-WM6.5-Rhodium-ROM
And just replace the drivers in this Rhodium-ROM with those from my Blackstone-ROM and cook this together => porting done?!
I already searched the whole forum, but didn´t find anything about pure porting, all i found were just How-tos on cooking in general.....
Could we please use this thread as a "porting-class"??
//edit\\ Or is there any chief out there who could "take me by the hand" this weekend and hel me with my "porting-project" (by IRC, MSN or whatever)?? Would really like to learn it, but don´t know where to start exactly....

But that's what you will be doing, cooking, not really porting, as you still need some stuff from the blackstone rom to make it all work, you wont be able to use apure rhodium/topaz rom on the blackstone.
If you take a look at sparkienl's thread you can download his latest kitchen, and read through the thread to get an idea of what blackstone apps/drivers you need to make it work on the blackstone.

I also want to make a porting, if possible.
I want to keep the Danish language in the rom, and have an original rom as possible.
I will try to read as many thread as possible, and if I succed in cooking/porting, I will let you know.
I can upload the original WM6.5 Danish rom for Rhodium and a original Danish WM6.1 rom for blackstone, if anyone is interested, but where should I uploade it?

@Kina500: I will also let you know if i get any further with this, at the moment i try to contact some german chiefs if they could guide me a bit

Help with cooking wm 6.5.3 rom

Well, Im attempting in cooking my first rom. I have successfully ported the 28205 SYS and XIP but I am having trouble finding the New Ext Packages and the Sense 2.5 files. Can someone please tell me where I can find the new sense and ext packages? would be greatly appreciated. 1 more thing with my current rom is that when I upgraded it to 28205 sys and xip the tf3d became unaligned. It is being pushed down therefore the top of it is showing some purple background and the bottom tabs are a little cut off. I think this may be a sideeffect of the start bar being at the bottom. Thanks

You need to learn how to search my friend. Here is the link for latest Leo pkg. Dont add any customization to Manila, and see if it works ok.

Thanks, I did try to search but didnt really know what to search for lol. K I wont add any customization yet.

I didnt add any customization to manila and I'm still getting the problem. I have tried hard and soft reset as well.

Need help
yeah, i do need help on how to search, because i cannot find a kitchen and/or instructions on how to get me started cooking ROM's. I really want to start, because it seems like it would make for a really fun hobby!
Can you possibly provide me a link for this???

titan, do you have windows live messenger? send me a message [email protected]
I can help you get started as I have learned A LOT in the last week =P

Manila 2.5 Kitchen

Hi all, Does anyone know of a kitchen for the tp that has Manila 2.5 included in it (or is anyone kind enough to share theirs?). I know chefs don't like sharing their kitchens cos then others take credit for the ROMs but this is ONLY for my personal ROMs for my tp - i won't be uploading any as i think there are many talented chefs already for our device.
I have download the 23518 kitchen from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580429
and then downloaded the Manila 2.5 files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4956649#2
And added them to the kitchen following the instructions exactly. The ROM boots (strangely there is no settings icon in the start menu????) but Titanium is loaded by default. I try enabling Manila and it just gets stuck on 'tap here to launch HTC sense' then when i tap it says 'launching HTC sense' then back to 'tap here etc etc'?
Basically i want to build a ROM for myself like EnergyROMs (which is what i use normally) but would like to remove some stuff i don't use.
Thanks in advance

can't answer your exact question here..but you are in the wrong forum mate - ask away in the TP2 forums

Check your PM...

JackWater's kitchen includes Manila 2.5, but doesn't yet have SYS 23518. I think he's planning to upload it soon.

Thanks..
Thank you everyone for your replies. SilentP Hooked me up - a very generous guy. I now have my own manila 2.5 ROM cooked and working, just gotta add all my apps!!
Thanks so much SilentP

Manila 2.5

This is probably an obvious answer kind of question, but I am super new so bear with me!
Can I get Manila 2.5 on my CDMA TP? Does it require a flash? I've never flashed before!

You can find cabs for the Manila 2.5 to allow you to add it to your rom that you are using like the other Manila. You can use the search in the formus to allow you to find them. Good luck.

ive benn having trouble adding the mania cab to my rom it does not show up im using ervius package creator

go to the ROM development section. My best bet, just flash your TP to a new ROM

I just flashed my first ROM and it's easy and definitely worth it; just follow the directions in the CDMA section carefully.

I tried to DL the cab but it always fails on installation. Says that I dont have the specifications.
