Hi everyone,
This is a copy of my thread in the Questions and Answers forum, but since I don't get much reactions there, maybe it's better I put it here:
I am actually trying to cook my first ROM for my Topaz, and I'm encountering several difficulties . Actually, my biggest problem for the moment is about the EXT packages.
First, I need to have something clarified : EXT packages depend on the device you are using, right? So for example, you can't use the same packages on both a TP2 and a Topaz.
Because then, I can't find the latest packages released for the Topaz, so what am I supposed to do to get them? How do the chefs do to find theirs?
Just for precision, I'm using visual osKitchen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody!
Just got my new HTC Kaiser, yeah
But there is no world card mobile software included, even if manual told that and it should be there... I also called HTC support and they advised me like a noob where I can find it (program files ....).
However I cannot also find it from windows directory (if name is bcr.exe or similar or starting with w-letter.)
They advised me to make hard reset BUT I prefer not like to do it because I have already lot of sw and settings installed and I don't want to do it again. Also I that doesn't help... then hard reset for nothing... not nice...
btw. these 2 links at sticky thread didn't work.
Any way to get installation cab somewhere?
Also one question. In the sticky thread there is updated cabs... where I can find these sw:s current versionumbers from my device... so I would know do I have to upgrade or not... And is there a certain way to upgrade those cabs?
thanx for your answers and this is a great forum btw.

HTC finally released a ROM upgrade for the Wing. Appears to be just Windows Mobile 6.1, but I'm no expert. Did it fix the Pagepool?
Anyway, here it is:

I run this updated for a couple days and had many problems. I ended up flashing back to the older ROM

may be you should have read more before posting this thread, cause there is already like 3 threads about this. But anyways, the ROM is still 6.0 not 6.1, and it sucks just as much as the orignal. Plus in some cases it can cause serious problems while loading the ROM. In anycase, my reccomendation would just be to flash a custom ROM.
Wing ROM
Sorry! As you see, I am a junior member, so when I didn't see this posted, thought I'd disseminate some useful info. As you are an authority, a few questions: other than the Pagepool fix and unloading a few useless Microsoft programs, is there any benefit to using an homebrew ROM? This assuming you have your Wing tweaked to perfection with the old ROM.
Also, ?is it possible to use Sprite Backup to restore your system to a new ROM? or does each program and tweak need to be separately placed and adjusted.
Thanks,
Paul D.
yep.
newer builds=faster=more awesome
also you don't have to tweak it yourself
Wing ROM
Thanks. Which ROM do you recommend? My Wing has the Battery Status for speed, Pagepool for memory, iFonz for program selection, S2U2 for class, and Inesoft Dialer/Address book for communication with ease. It's a little slow but not annoyingly so.
Again all advice is appreciated.
Paul D.
If you customize your wing a lot it's the best you start with one of the lite version of roms to enable you the most out of your storage space and program memory.
I personally use open touch v4 but there are many good roms. Check the rom review thread in the rom section.
Anybody extracted all the cabs already?
Especially interested in the Manila version and all the AT&T add-ons.
Thx
wait. you actually want the att bloatware?
also, the tf3d stuff is only slightly optimized, if you're running any of the manilas out there that are updated recently, it should perform better.. especially if you actually use wm6.5
Yes, the bloatware incl. Manila to rewrite/update my Fuze setup guide.
I admit that I'm a little bit reluctant to flash my phoen back to the latest ATT since I kinda depend on it for the next two weeks and cannot run the risk to wreck it at this time.
i c... I can provide you the set up file, but I have no knowledge of how to extract it. If you are interested, send me a PM and i'll see if i can upload the link for you.
EDIT: the official update is actually really good. especially the radio. my gps fix is very very fast, and my battery life is great.. even with push..
I can download the EXE from HTC/AT&T myself but would need to install to copy all cab files under the Windows directory.
If anybody has all the cabs which reside after an install (better a de-böoated install) would be great.
The success with the GPS and good lock is simply related to the Radio bundled with the new ROM which is/was available at XDA for some time. Sure, for a branded ROM it was finally time to fix these issues.
yeah, i did mention that the radio was why the gps is so much better. I'm just a sucker for going around flashing new radios... It got to be so much of a hassle keeping track of them that I gave up..
anyways, sorry I can't help you there in terms of the cabs since I'm very uncomfortable with doing stuff like that since I'm paranoid about my phone numbers and notes tagging along..
but I can say with confidence that the new update is really good and you should not be worried about flashing the new rom at all. The only thing is that I see you are using energyrom so i understand that you don't want to flash back and forth.
Can you take a look in your Windows dir and name me the CAB files there?
Most common none is deleted after install so that list could be helpful already.
NRG ROM ... well ... it ROCKS.
I'm not such a fan of 6.5 yet thus running the older NRG 2.0 without ANY problems.
sure! that I CAN do.. here's the list (btw, my rom is unbloated so i might have all of the cabs..)

Cool mate! ... and this is from the latest AT&T ROM upgrade?
Would you mind to copy all the cabs to your PC and zip them in one humongous file? Check PM
i can do that provided that it isn't locked in by the OS. I'll do it later when I come back.
Thanks, check your PM (Private Messages).
Sorry to interrupt, but here you go:

Manila is not installed from CAB, so I created a CAB for it.
Thanks NATF.
Just one Q, what does then the PT_MANILA.CAB do?
Chefs like you never disturb!

Actually, you don't need that CAB. It is installed during Initial Configuration, and it adds the registry entries that start TF3D on boot. However, I added the required entries to my TF3D CAB.
Hey NATF....what happened to the OzIM cab? I was curious about this thread because I wanted to know if there were a new version of the cab for the instant messaging package as well....or did you just leave it out because the version didn't change in the new ROM perhaps?
Hello,
Although I had hd2(t-mobile) for a while, did not have time to play around and lived on first shipped rom! Now that I have upgraded to current version by t-mobile, I have found few issues and want to cook my own version.
Issues:
FlashLight lost its brightness in all three modes.
No google maps 4.1
Remove all t-mobile crap
Audiobooster is not effective as the previous one
These are just to name a few.
Thus far I did not install any SPL and dont know which one to and confused on all of the information. I have cooked before therefore confident in the process and just need some help with tools. Which kitchen is best?
Finally, which SPL should I install and where do I find HTC updated apps and registry tweaks?
Many thanks inadvance for all the help.
Update:
I have installed HSPL now.
Any info on the Kitchen guys?
I just want to take the first shipped rom and copy some of the applications and use them in the current OEM rom and cook.
Hi!!
*i've spent hours browsing the web and xda searching for answers*
okay, here's the story, I used to have a HTC Titan / 6800 a couple of years ago. When i had it i learned all about flashing etc. Made a few OS's even posted one on here and amassed a 15gb collection of all things PPC ;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650368
I sold that pocket PC. bad decision as i really liked messing around with them. So here i am a few years later, i've bought myself a Tytn II /Kaiser.
Before when i made the OS for the other one i used BuildOS from PPCKitchen
I used the kitchen files included after updating, also the NZ carrier that was available in PPCK and i had a nifty file repository i found which got updated with the very latest Windows Mobile builds and i would just import those files into PPCK (If PPCK didn't have that build).
Alas,... I can't find PPCKitchen anymore... from what i read they were updating their servers a few years ago.. but am not sure if they'll be back..
*If you can let me know whether they're still around that would be great, i keep getting DNS error when going to their page*
So far i've SPL unlocked the TYTN II using Hardspl.
I've also downloaded another cooking app called OS Kitchen Zero - Nice appy.
But i have no idea where to find the windows files to import into it. I don't want to edit my original windows mobile 6.1 on it, I'd rather install a fresh copy of windows mobile 6.5 .
And i don't want to edit someone elses rom, Just pretty much start off how i did before with a blank slate (fresh WM6.5 files - god i cant even remember the file extension) so to speak - this way any bugs i know are a result of me.
I'm not sure what will happen to my original carrier with this program also as i'd still like it to work with the New Zealand networks.
Anywayyy.. to SUM it up;
If you can help with the following questions i'd be very grateful;
1. Where's PPCKitchen / BuildOS gone? will they be back? Is there any place i can download the app in the meantime?
2. Where can i find Stock Titan windows mobile 6.5 Kitchen files? (The same that were needed for buildos - that it got from the updater)
3. Radio is not the same as carrier right ?.. or is it? I vaguely remember them being separate... Should i just flash a NZ radio to the device .. or do i need to choose NZ as the carrier also?
4. Is there a program like PPCkitchen that is inclusive of the WM builds and carriers avail?
5. CID/SIM unlock - do i need it? as i've already SPL unlocked.
And anything else that you think i might need help with.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Reaper
UPDATE : Amongst my PPC files i found the BuildOS Installer. Unfortunately without a server to contact there are no builds or app packages so cannot build a rom. I'm not fussed about the packages at present just need some build files if anyone knows where to get them. Thanks

Thanks!
All of the links were broken on the main page, but managed to do a nifty google search and found Joshs file stash at - http://dl.ardiansyah.web.id/pub/index.php?dir=HTC/Kaiser/ROM/Joshroms/kitchen/
Tried integrating files into PPCKitchen but the build wasn't coming up.
Flashed to WM6.5 21820 from there, All working fine, sim included.
I read a lot of that post too, good info, am going to start cooking without PPCKitchen now. Seems like a lot more things i can play around with.
Cheers, legendary.
