Possible to make your own ROM ? - General Topics

Hey!
I was wondering if it was possible to make you own rom ? I mean.. For an example take the WM6 Smart1 rom for the Qtek S200 and then take some apps and put them inside the rom so they installs with the rom when that intalls? And maybe define some settings like GPRS settings, so they allready are configured when the rom is just installed?
Thank you!

yes it is possible, there are tutorials within the threads for each device, probably titled 'cook your own rom' or something similar. i assume it's different for each device due to hardware differences so there is no generic solution

Okay thanks for answer !
I have been searching the forums and found some usefull stuff i think.. But as i see it, it looks to advanced for me .. Afraid of bricking my phone ! Have just installed WM6 on my prophet and that allmost made me sick because i was afraid of bricking my phone..
So maybe cooking is a bit to advanced for me..
Unless there is a more simple way ?

no it's complicated, try looking for extended rom cooking it may be simpler

"Cropping" ROM to my own needs

Hello!
While this may seem like a newbie question for the seniors, here goes..
Can i edit my ROM to remove some files that i consider useless for me ? I know how to extract the ROM and of course i can edit the extracted data/files, but how do i like put it back on the device?
Thanks.
PS: I am using i-mate JAMin with AKU2.13.9.23 WWE
EDIT: I Googled for "Editing ROMs" and came up with Hex Editors and Zophar's Domain. Does it have to do anything with what i want?
try search for 'rom cooking'
Thanks.
Did that, in fact i tried "prophet rom cooking" and came up with lots of useful stuff. Now i am gonna try it out.
BTW: can i try out ROM Cooking on an Emulator such as the one from Microsoft? Instead of putting my device to the danger of bricking?

rom vs extended rom

hi,
a'm afraid this is quite a newbe question but can someone plz advise if i understand correctly?
rom = lets say the operating platform?
extended rom = all the progs running under the operating platform?
And can i install just any extended rom on my G4 to run under the faria rom?
last, but not least, what are the differences between the different roms around?
many thanks

about ROMs - you will have sleepless night i think...
touch made things unclear, search for previous wave productions to be ..sure.
ROM contains OS, extended ROM is way to make last minute additions/corrections, but is is used rarely(no clear method for full use) novadays..
Kitchens made extrom extinct legacy method, i think it is not good idea - extrom may be EXTREMLY useful, if cooks think bout it as VERY good software(ROM) update method - it is unlcear, how to handle extROM operations....personally i will be glad, if someone write post about real usability of this thing(flashing, redirection of autorun.txt, etc).
For start, just ignore EXTrom thing.
sorry for LQ english..

I agree. It is time to upgrade my friend... There are so many roms out there that are almost 100% stable with everything working and not all of them include all of the extra crap either... If you wanted to keep the same general look going on and not the touchflo if thats what you're trying to avoid, then look into some of the professional roms instead of the touch roms.
A good example is TNT5.0 Professional. It has all the amendaties of WM5 but also supports all of the WM6 software.
...Thats my opinion anyway
I have
I've updated to WM6 many times with multiple roms, but they tend to lag in performance. Though one rom looks promicing is this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331812
BUT! It's a Hermes rom and I have no Idea how to flash that onto a wizard. So instead of risking my Wizard to brick, I was hoping someone could possibly patch those cabs for WM5.
If anyone is looking for a little project, please patch those cabs on the first post.
Thank you
i use TNE with over clocking, with no problems. just as fast as wm5 if not faster.
touch no evil.
and dont flash a wm6 rom that wasnt built for the wizard.

give this rom a try. It was originally made by its right but I personally modified it to have a larger page pool and is quite fast.
It is a touchflo rom though... Not sure how fond you are of those style roms...

???????????
Well does anyone just have the base WM6 rom that I can flash? Nothing custom, just the standard, factory WM6 rom? Cuz that would be the only way I would be willing to upgrade. If not then I just want the cabs to work on WM5.

Well there is TNT Official... It's the closest to an actual OFFICIAL Wizard WM6 rom as you are going to get...
Install that(it is CLEAN, nothing on it really) and you can install anything you want if you're not interested in a custom rom.
You could also give this a once over...

English ROM - Newbie

Hi Folks....ive been looking around the forums, and as my knowldge is rather miminual could someone hold my hand?
Ive just bought the tytn II (italian) and i want to change the OS language to English. With my limitated understadning, some of the roms ive seen are bundled with extras, is it posible just to install one section (i.e. the language) or is the language part and parcel of the complete rom?
I dont want to ask 'which is the best?', but could someone suggest a rom that isnt so bundled with extra tweaks?
Also, ive read somewhere that the phones arent locked...si this true or do i need to do a Hard spl like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334678
Thanks inadvance for your help.....im just nervous!!

Take it easy, use your Kaiser for some times and get used to it
meanwhile read all the stickies and search for some answers around this section and the Kaiser section.
Hard SPL is a must and its easy to be done
If you want a www rom; there are many verisons, the Shipped http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332246
or cooked ones, you can use Dutty's Hybird, its stable and fast.
Just take it easy
Thanks Taiseer...
I understand your point about using the phone a few times, but my italian is really bad, so i cant set it up as comprehensively as i would like...
I just thought that i would be better to get the language setup first, before i start to customise the phone

German Vodafone ROM?

Hi,
I have a german TyTN II (Vodafone VPA Compact V) and using one of Duttys ROMs at the moment. Some time ago when I thought about flashing my ROM, I dumped the original ROM stuff from my TyTN II to my pc.
For getting the dump files I used "itsutilsbin-20070323". At all its 4 RAW files.
To make my Device flashable I had to use Kaiser-HardSPL. After that I had the white-screen problem which I fixed by following some thread here but I cant really remember which one.
So now to my question. By the given info, is it possible to revert the device back to OEM like for warranty or return?
Ive looked up some (or some more) threads around here and there are many topics to this thesis but well I guess its kind of to many topics to know what to do if you dont really know what ur actually planning to do
So I try it this way. Im happy with links to fitting topics or pm or someone who can care me like a baby ^^

There is a german VF ROM. You need to download the right RadioROM (1.27.11.12) and Splash Screen, too. You can find both parts per search here at xda-developers

hi,
okay ive done the reconstruction of my original rom and flashed my kaiser like the documentation of kitchen says. well everything is fine except internet. it pops up an error msg when i use the ie (something like non valid adress, dunno the english error msg). Besides, im also missing some symbols in system settings such as hsdpa settings or device information. So i guess something is wrong with my reconstruction or at least i missed some options to set up while extrakting or cooking the rom.
can anyone help me?
sooooo ... finally ive found a solution. i recognized some other people having the same problem in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
At the beginning it says to download kitchen link to the file "kaiserkitchen.12-21-07.rar". Problem was, this version doesnt work for me. After a while i notized the author of the thread gives a link to this kitchen version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343044
Using it is simple and now works 100%
BTW: Thanks to Melkor again, your links are very helpful
