Hey all,
So that we don't all have to reinvent the wheel, is it possible where we could share OEM Package setup info to be used in the Faria ROM Kitchen. I know a number of your are adding your own packages, and this could save a lot of work for those of us just starting to look at customizing this tool. Use ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/WIZARD/ROMS/Faria WM6 ROM Kitchen.pdf to read up on how to create OEM packages and how they work.
What I'm thinking is that this thread could be a repository for packages (not for requests, but for packages people want to share). Bascially you would reply to this thread with what the package is for, and any special information and setup (or things people may want to look at and change), and then attach a zip file (or pointer to the package file) that people can then download and put into their devwiz folder. If its for a commercial (non-free) program, leave out the commercial program / dlls but just to have the other files setup and instructions on what to put into the folder could be very useful for people.
When you provide the packages, try to provide it with the original package.rgu and/or package.dsm filenames (not with the GUID that was generated for you). People will then be able to just run the buildos.exe and the GUID will get created for them without changing filenames. Then just edit the options.xml file to use the newly generated GUID.
so screenshot + cab + short info + status: freeware/shareware/etc. would be fine?

The only tricky thing here would be the guid for the files. I'm still new to this, so if someone has an idea how to handle that (maybe the person does the package.rgu and runs the program where it generates the guide, then unzips the files and modifies the guid to the new one in the right places).

The GUID is so simple, if you to use a package, just go to http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen . Then you just get a new GUID and paste it in all the different palces in the package, then you dont have to chnage file names then have them chnaged again by buildOS
I thik this is a good idea, would be good to share and also good for problem finding, cus i have one that i cant for the life of me get the today plugin to work how it is meant to!!!
GSFinder Package
[... This package has been updated and can now be found in post 23 of this thread ...]
This is a package for GSFinder. This is a freeware file manager (like TotalCommander).
To use this, unzip this to your OEM folder. You will then run buildos.exe and press the green arrow to have it process. After it completes exit buildos.exe then edit the options.xml file and change the GUID to match the one that was generated for the .dsm file in this folder.
MoDaCo NoData
[... This package has been updated and can now be found in post 23 of this thread ...]
This is a package for MoDaCo NoData. This is a freeware program that allows you to turn off and on what data sources will work on your device (so if you don't have a GPRS plan, you can turn off GPRS so your phone will not use it).
To use this, unzip this to your OEM folder. You will then run buildos.exe and press the green arrow to have it process. After it completes exit buildos.exe then edit the options.xml file and change the GUID to match the one that was generated for the .dsm file in this folder.
mUn Keyboard Skin
This is a package for the mUn keyboard skin. This is a freeware skin file to modify the look of the on screen keyboard to be like what is in the mUn aRTM WM6 rom.
To use this, unzip this to your OEM folder. You will then run buildos.exe and press the green arrow to have it process. After it completes exit buildos.exe then edit the options.xml file and change the GUID to match the one that was generated for the .dsm file in this folder.
NOTE: If you have other keyboard skin files in your OEM directory, you may get an error when you build this initially (or if more than one is selected). You can only have one of the keyboard skins selected.
XPlore Keyboard Skin
This is a package for the XPlore keyboard skin. This is a freeware skin file to modify the look of the on screen keyboard to be like what is provided for the XPlore 2.0 WM6 rom.
To use this, unzip this to your OEM folder. You will then run buildos.exe and press the green arrow to have it process. After it completes exit buildos.exe then edit the options.xml file and change the GUID to match the one that was generated for the .dsm file in this folder.
NOTE: If you have other keyboard skin files in your OEM directory, you may get an error when you build this initially (or if more than one is selected). You can only have one of the keyboard skins selected.

Thanks for putting this together!
I tried building via your instructions, but got an error (buildos.exe crashed). I deleted the options.xml file and then re-ran the build and it worked. Then copied back in an options.xml file and edited the GUID and it ran fine.
I'd noticed this when I was building another package. In my experience, I have to do a build without the options file, let the [GUID].dsm file get built, then create the options.xml file with the correct GUID in it and then rerun.

Yep I figured this out an hour ago. The options.xml should be renamed until the first run of builos.exe completes, then rename it back and change the guid inside the file.
I'll redo the packages tomorrow and update the instructions on them.

Has anyone figured out how to move files yet?

The initflashfiles.txt moves the files (doesn't just make duplicates). So you just have to put a line in for everyfile to "move" it to a different location. The next post will be for BatteryStatus and you can look at that one as thats what it does. All the graphic images are moved into a directory it creates.
Battery Status Package
[... This package has been updated and can now be found in post 23 of this thread ...]
Here is the package for Battery Status. I initially put this together but had some errors in how I did things. Thanks to ADB100 for cleaning it up! This is the same one he reposted for me in the Faria Rom Kitchen thread.
ALso going with Funman's point that its unlikely to hit a duplicate GUID, so I'm leaving the GUID alone. So just extract to the OEM directory and you are ready to go.
This package contains Battery Status 1.04.202 Beta 3 Build 0195 (latest version at the time of this posting).
Reposting with generic Registry Entries (removing ADB100's custom settings he mentions in his post below)
WM5torage Package
[... This package has been updated and can now be found in post 23 of this thread ...]
Package for WM5torage (version 1.73). Just unzip in your OEM folder.
Note, the package puts a shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Accessories folder for WM5torage. Edit the initflashfiles.txt if you want the shortcut to be located someplace else.

Tools Tab - DeviceLock on Wakeup, Lock if Display..., Backlight fix - 30-seconds
Omap Tab - Overclock to 247Mhz, Overclock on Wakeup, Remember last CpuSpeed, Overclock after reboot
Traylaunch Tab - All disabled
Not sure this will suit everybody so be warned...

Adobe Reader LE
[... This package has been updated and can now be found in post 23 of this thread ...]
Package for Adobe Reader LE. This is the "faria Adobe Reader" cab thats been posted, but then I've altered the .rgu to fix the registry entry for opening docs that have spaces in the name (Thanks ADB100 for pointing that fix out), and made a couple of fixes to the initflashfiles.txt (it had moves for files that didn't exist and I've added where it moves a shortcut into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories
Just unzip into your OEM directory.

I've reloaded the zip file in my post above for Battery Status and put the registry entries back to generic like a fresh install. If you want specific settings, then install BS, tweak it to your heart's content, then dump out the registry entries and replace them in the .rgu file.

Are you sure, because I think I read in faria's rom thread that it copies the files, not moves them, (Unless im utterly retareded and misread it, which is very possible)
Hello Friends,
I have managed the new WM6 kitchen based on Ivan's new (17913.0.3.0) build. This is a clean vanilla kitchen, you can add your own flavor and the way you want it.
I've uploaded the kitchen to the following url and hope that you will like it.
http://www.siemens-bd.net/files/000000
Files have been splited into 10 parts (5MB each) because of my unstable internet connection here. Uploading a 50MB file for me is simply a nightmare! Please download all of them and unrar.
You will find two cmd files (1. BuildKitchen.cmd and 2. CreateROM.cmd) inside the ROM_DEV folder after the unrar.
Step-1: Run the BuildKitchen.cmd (first time only), it will dump the rom and prepare the kitchen for you.
[Additionally, you may use it to dump other WM6 rom and prepare the kitchen. In that case, decode the rom, copy (or overwrite) the nk.nba file to the ROM folder and run this cmd to build the kitchen.]
Step-2: Run the CreateROM.cmd to build the rom...as usual.
You will find a Ranju_OEM folder under the ROM_DEV folder. Some of the oem packages have been added if anyone is interested to use. Just copy your desired packages to the OEM folder and build the rom.
And finally, all credit goes to Ivan. Special thanx to Helmi, Midget, Bepe and Tuatara for their tools and support.
By the way, I've a limited bandwidth to this server, it will be great if someone mirror it somewhere.
Best regards,
Ranju

Did you modify any cmd file?
If not, then delete the temp folder. Do a search on SYS & OEM for "Thumbs.db" and delete them if found any. Run the CreateROM.cmd.
I suppose "Thumbs.db" have been created by your picture browser apps.
"Thumbs.db" is a file that Windows XP (and Vista) create if you preview a picture or movie. Its not important at all (although Windows will complain that it is a "System File")
(Nifty fact: Windows XP can create the "thumbs.db" file in a read-only network share!)
Thanks for the info, i'll try deleting and recompile.
Deleted, compiled and flashed: every essential function i tested is working. The kitchen is very clean! Many thanks ranju!
Little update of the kitchen
This is a little update of the kitchen:
* Due to the slow response of the phone, dialing/ending tone have been removed
* Update for HTC Task Manager 1.5 (Exclusive apps can be added now)
Please download the zip and copy/replace to the associated folder.
Update: HTC Task Manager cab attached.

Can you please make a cab of it so that we can install. Dont want to go through re in stalling rom. Appreciate
Or if you can advice the registry entries for both above issues please.
Phone.cab
A cab file for the file in phone.zip is not that difficult since it's just a couple of registry entries.
The other one is more difficult since it also includes files.
So just to help a little, a cab file for the registry stuff in the phone.zip
Actually not that difficult
When comparing the old and new files, I noticed that just the RGU file is different.
Since this is the file with registry settings, I made a quick cab for it.
So not to replace the previous HTC Manager install or anything like that, just to corrent the registry entries.
ps. This and the previous file are not made/reviewed/anything by Ranju, but I've just given them him (her?) name to avoid confusion.

Build my first Rom
I've this ROM kitchen few days back from one of my friends and was simply amazed when I build my first rom.
This is as easy!
Thanks ranju, keep up good work!
Hei everyone!
I flashed a wm6 rom ,but it can not auto run the extended_rom.
what should i do?
i edit the default.rgu like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"TurnRadioFlag"=dword:0
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Extended_ROM\\config.txt"
"AutoRun"="\\Extended_ROM\\autorun.exe"
and build the rom again, but it still not run .
i am sure there are autorun.exe and config.txt in it, and the config.txt's content is right too.
what should i do now ???
Don't bother editing the RGU but instead place your Autorun.exe and config.txt in the Dump folder after you run the bat which builds the modules so it ends up in the \Windows folder and then it will run the cabs from wherever you have placed them including the Extended Rom so long as you have configured them in the config.txt.
Replace your autorun.exe with a newer version.
i changed the autorun.exe but it is still not run.
and i use change another os rom it can install !
who can help me !

are you cooking this or are you doing this to an already flashed rom?
I have been using many kitchens over the past year. Cooking horrible roms, decent ones and now a pretty good one. My problem was always the various tools lying all over my hard drive. Luckily I came across this litte gem by Ervius
Package Tools and BuildOS rolled into one. I also noticed that it handles rgu files much better than the previous BuildOS, it choked on an incorrect rgu file. Which in turn allowed me to get Video working in HTC Album 2
I have modified the batch files for our Wizards and have been cooking and im loving it
PackageTools+BuildOS (Latest combined version)
rgu-2-xml : Convert .rgu to provxml files
SYSVersion : Generates a version list of your SYS Folder
All the usual build tools :G'Reloc, M'Reloc, ImgFS Tools
AllPackagesToOne - Protect your rom from being ripped apart and the whole world being able to share in your utter cooking brilliance, via a tickbox ofcourse
Automatic Find and Fix duplicate file errors during BuildOS process
More features which I am either too lazy to list or dont use at all
Just add SYS,ROM and OEM folders. It also have a nice feature which allows you to select OEM Packages and save it as a preconfigured rom. Extra OEM packages can be placed in a Packages folder. BuildOS will load those files also (No more OEM's all over your hard drive).
BuildOS also runs G'Reloc during the dump process, but for good measure I also included it in the batch file.
Also added -conservative to the Imgfs Tools portion of the script to protect against overcook
BuildOS generates pretty log files which shows where stuff went wrong
Extract the zip file. Run Kitchen.exe and watch the magic at work.
Note
For some reason the output window text is black on a black background, but at the top is a nice running status. If not sure just hilight the output window.
If you start up and It complains about folders just create them

What OS are you running on your pc ? .net 2.0 and higher really like XP Sp2. Do a google search for CCleaner and "Uninstall Utility" this might help before you format dude.
Errors I am facing:
can not find \ROM folder
Windows can not open this file: OS.NB.Payload
Windows can not open this file: OS.NB.extra
BuildOS: Error, can not find ROM Folder!!!
Where are these files supposed to go? can you provide a tree map?
Can you also tell me what exe opens what file?
I'm almost having to pour cold water over my self
The main issue is not knowing where the ROM folder is supposed to go.
Also, not being able to see what the thing is doing (black on black) is really frustrating me also.
When you get a chance, let me (us) know how to use this cooker. it looks like it can do a lot more than I'm used to... but at the moment I am finding it useless.

I really wish I could decompile and just fix the black on black issue. Coz it is a simple case of just changing the font. Unfortunatly it is not written in .net like the previous BuildOS, so no luck there
This should be your default layout:
Base Folder-
->Compile Tools (OS.nd encoding tools)
->Flash (Created by Batch file, your new OS.nd ends up here)
->OEM (I like to put the BASE OEM Folders in here OEMAPPS etc)
->Packages (This is where I drop my custom OEM folders)
->ROM (OS.nb XIP,romhdr.bin lives here)
->SYS (Yeah well we know this one)
The error you are getting is when you try and extract a rom with Package Tools in the kitchen. Here is the procedure:
Create a base folder, I normally use Base_Buildnumber_Device
Select your Dump Type in the bottom check boxes, either a folder where you have already dumped a rom or an *.nb,*.nbf type file
Start your kitchen and select Open on the Package Tools tab.
Browse to the folder you have just created select the folder of rom file based on the above selection
Package tools will now extract the rom and create OEM and SYS Folders if possible
In case of cooking which I believe you are after:
Create the above folder structure with all files in place
Select BuildOS tab
Click Load Rom
Edit OEM's etc and just press Go

Yeah I realised now that when I zipped up the Kitchen I left pkgcommon.dll in the Tools folder, this should be copied to the same folder as Kitchen.exe.
Your error however comes from me not stating the .net Framework 2.0 or highers is required. I take these for granted since I have Visual Studio installed on my machine anyway
I wrote a guide on how to back up a rom to an nbh here (for the shift but same applies) and was wondering how I can modify a rom before i cook it (i have extracted the contents) - i basically just want to modify some reg settings move some files create shortcuts and install some cabs - how can i do this?
Thanks in advance,
Kris

I would try starting here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's Cooking Kits
i already have cooking kits and have ripped apart my rom (and know how to recompile it to nbh) with the kitchen ... i want to know how to modify the files in the SYS folder so that i can change the rom
someone said i can do stuff with the OperatorPKG folder by editing the config_operator.txt file but i had no joy
Thanks Kris
There is really no exact way of cooking stuff. You just have to delete stuff and see what happen when you cook it! Same way with registries. Its all trial and error, and you can modify anything in the SYS folder. Some might work, some might now.
Also I may suggest that use a released kitchen (Anryl) as you base, and compare it to what you want to do! Good luck.
