XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 Cooking Pack
Build your own flavor of XM6r5
By popular demand, I'm releasing the XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 (XM6r5) Cooking Pack. Basically, this is just a the ROM / SYS / OEM folders that I used to build XM6r4. Those so inclined, can download this and build their own flavor of XM6r5 and customize it to their heart's content. If you are looking for the already cooked XM6r5 then go to this thread.
NOTE: This is NOT a Kitchen, but is "guts" of the kitchen. I personally used anichillus' HyperCore Kitchen to build XM6r5, and recommend this kitchen. But since most all of the Wizard kitchens I've seen are almost all alike, these folders will probably work in the majority with only minor changes.
How to Use the Cooking Pack
First you need to download a kitchen and install it per the instructions for that kitchen. NOTE: This thread is NOT for supporting kitchens, and is NOT for general questions on cooking. It will be for the usage of this Kitchen pack.
After you get your kitchen setup, then download the XM6r5 Cooking Pack. Unzip the file and place the ROM, SYS, and OEM folders under the kitchen directory where it belongs (for HyperCore, these folders will go under the Build folder).
At this point you are basically ready to cook.
Where are the options.xml files???
In XM6r5, I only have options.xml files in the OEM packages that are optional between the Full and the Lite versions of XM6r5. By doing it this way, I was easily able to build a full version, then go back and build a Lite version but just unchecking everything. For me, rather than having a BuildOS that is loaded with lots of options, I personally prefer to have an OEM directory which (in most cases) is what is going into the rom, and another directory for things that won't go into the rom (OEM-Hold or somesuch. Call it what you want). Then all I do is take OEM packages I don't want in the ROM from the OEM folder and move them to the OEM-Hold folder. By doing this, they won't be part of the rom (and you don't have to deal with checking and unchecking things in BuildOS). If you don't like this style, then feel free to create options.xml files for each of the OEM packages and you can then check and uncheck to your heart's content.
If you want to add things to the rom, you'll need to create the OEM packages and drop those in the OEM folder. But thats beyond the scope of this thread. Please see Cooking and Kitchen threads on how to build packages.
Extras Folder
Also included in this Cooking Pack is an Extras folder. In here I've placed the OEM package for SuperDoku, and I've placed the NETCF 2.0 SP2 folder. To build SuperDoku into your rom, just drop that folder into the OEM folder. To build with NETCF 2.0 SP2 instead of the 3.5 thats in XM6r5, first copy the NETCF folder out of the SYS folder and put it in the Extras folder (rename it to NETCF3.5 or something). Then copy the NETCF folder in the Extras area into the SYS folder. NOTE: The only reason to do this is if you have an app that won't work with NETCF 3.5 (Pocket eSword is one example). But since NETCF 3.5 is the direction Microsoft is going, for future compatibility you should stick with 3.5 in most cases.
Splash Screens
Attached to this post are the BMP and PNG files used for the splash screens on XM6r5. While the graphics are not mine originally (I've found them here in the forums but asked permission for their use) some modifications are by me. If you are using HyperCore, there are tools for building splash screens in that kitchen.
NOTE: For me, the first splash screen (the so called HTC Logo, which I used the Cylon image for) tends to be the trickiest one. If the file size and complexity of the graphic isn't just right, the screen will not show up properly. If you are trying to build your own htc logo splash screen and having problems, use a graphic editor to convert it from BMP to GIF. Then close the image completely (important) and then reopen it, and then convert the GIF back to BMP. This will sometimes work. If not, then convert the image to a jpg and increase the compression level to be below 50% (the image will start to get grainy and not look as good so you'll have to play around with this). Then close the image and then reopen the jpg then convert it back to a BMP and try again.
Final Notes
This is an exact copy of the folders I used in building XM6r5. I have not upgraded or changed anything (so the same bugs and features in the built version will be in this cooking pack). A lot of the pieces originated from mattk_r and theloon's kitchen work for the 318 ROM. Then I've made changes to those bases to create the XM6 series. Most OEM folders found in theloon's kitchen will probably work with this cooking pack (but no guarantees).

Reserving 1 more...

I've been waiting for this since you let us know it was coming. I'm gonna use this as my base to teach myself how to cook
Your ROMS are always great, but there are usually a few things I don't use so I want to try taking them out.
THanks again.

Thanks a lot Mfrazz i rely on you enough to trust you have a good base.
I've been so busy Working on the ELF thread i never got to cook my own Wizard Ro.
This way you are saving me a lot of headaches finding a nice Base.
Only important thing is that AD2P is working, but i'll know that in ten minutes instead of reading your whole ROM thread.
Cheerz.

Download link is not working. I know, link can't be active forever, and I shouldn't be so slow and conservative (still on XM6r2). Can you upload this file somewhere else or mailed to me?
Thanks,

Another one - download link not working for me either; please reupload!!
Thanks...

I need this
The download link isn't working. Can anyone re-upload or send me it? Thanks!

I'll try to look for backups of this and see about uploading it to a new location... Didn't realize the links had died. Sorry about that.
[EDIT] I found the file in my backups. I'm uploading to a couple of file sharing services now. Will update the first post and put a reply in here when its complete.

Uploaded the original file to 3 new locations. First post has been updated. Please note: This is the original cooking pack. I have not updated anything in it (and don't plan on updating it... Sorry). But I hope this helps those that have asked for this to be reuploaded...

Announcement: Wizard Rom-Packer Kitchen V2.0

Welcome to the Wizard Rom-Packer Kitchen V2.0, with "Squeezer" technology!
Please read all the way through before starting, even if you've used a previous version.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
This kitchen is easy to use, but is really meant for those with some previous work with other kitchens,like faria's or 004's or Molski's. (If I've left someone out, I'm sorry about that.) This kitchen is based on Bepe's Hermes kitchen, which has incorporated tadzio's reworking of maimach's imgfs tools. This allows the rom to be packed more efficiently, and thus more packages and files to be burned into the rom. The savings is not trivial, a few megabytes at least.
In addition, I have added a new Squeezer module, based on open-source UPX technology, which actually compresses Office .exe files, freeing even more room in the rom (a few more meg), and actually decreasing load times!
Although the Wizard Rom is not quite as malleable as the Hermes in that the extra space is not translated into additional user storage memory, at least the additional freeware, shareware, themes, etc. which can be burned to the rom do not have to reduce the user storage space.
I hope over time to enhance this further, as new innovations become available, (maybe someone will figure out a way to repartition the Wizard Rom?). Also, perhaps adding some way of automatically generating the xip directory. If you have suggestions feel free to let me know about them.
Error checking is not extensive, so be sure to keep your old rom available to fall back to! Check the size of the generated .nbf file. If its around 59 mb you are close to the limit. Be ready to re-flash in bootloader mode (after paring some packages or files) if the program exits before the 100% mark.
How to use:
Download your favorite base rom, at this point one from another kitchen, which has already been broken down to SYS, OEM, and ROM directories. Delete the SYS, OEM, and ROM directories from my kitchen, and copy the ones from the other kitchen in there instead.
Make a copy of the SYS\OFFICE directory in case of later problems (not likely).
An additional caution/strong recommendation is to delete the /autoupdate package from your roms. This currently does nothing anyway, so you won't miss it, and in any case would likely only create havoc with a custom rom. But additionally the repacking method used in this kitchen removes the extra space in the rom which was to be used for that anyway, and so autoupdate will definitely be useless in a rom built with this method.
Run the SqueezeOffice.bat program. (This compresses your main Office .exe's)
Make sure there is an 80040000-os.nb file in the ROM directory. (It may be called something else and have to be renamed. It'll be around 50mb in size.)
Now click on Start.bat, and away you go...
(Optional) If you want to later go back to using another kitchen, run the PrepareNewNB.bat file. After it completes, there will be a new, compacted 80040000-OS.nb file created in the ROM directory which you can move back to your original kitchen. (Also copy the Office directory back) You will loose some packing efficiency by building in another kitchen, but you will still gain lots of space from having visited here!
Depending on the kitchen you were using, either you will see selectable packages or not during the running of BuildOS. Use whatever method you were using previously to add new packages or to remove the ones you don't want. In general, everything should work about the same way it did before, except you will be able to fit more packages in than previously! (Those who are importing faria's kitchen will have to rename his BuildOS.exe to BOS.exe and bring it into this kitchen. Also, rename his Flash file in the ROM directory to 80040000-OS.nb.)
You will be given the opportunity to go all the way to flashing the rom, similar to the way faria's kitchen is set up. Hold down the Control and "C" keys during one of the pauses provided if you do not want to go to the next step for some reason. (You have a G4, unlocked G3, want postpone flashing for later, etc.) Then press the "Y" key to abort when prompted.
If you'd like, check out the ZSqueezer directory, and the readme there. There you can compress your other programs for even more space (and speed!).
Thanks to all those who have helped me in the past, and especially those who created the tools and roms we all use and enjoy.
Version History:
Initial Unlabeled: Worked fine
V1.1: Added "pre-packing", had a bug in Start.bat
V1.2: Worked fine
V1.3: Deletion of .rgu files from the dump.
V2.0: Removed .rgu deletion (instability), and introduced "squeezer" compression.

Standalone Squeezer Module
For those interested in having the "squeezer" technology for their own programs, but aren't comfortable cooking their own roms, I have created a standalone module for that. (Already included in the latest Rom-Packer Kitchen V2.0). I've also started a separate thread for that as well in the Upgrading section. Of course, feel free to leave comments and suggestions in either thread.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1283338#post1283338
Have fun!
More space for later use.
thanks. i'll give it a go later tonight
I just tried these tools and didn't have much sucess....
I used the latest mUn base ROM, added some OEM stuff that I have been using without issues when creating ROM's with mUn's previous ROM. All this went OK. It got to the point of installing the ROM on the device but the ROMUpdateUtility just exited at 98% and left the Wizard in limbo. I have had put it in bootloader and re-intall a previous ROM
There was no message, it just got to 98% on the PC and the Wizard and then the ROMUpdateUtility just exited. I tried manually using the nb2nbf application and copying the resulting nk.nbf to another RUU folder and the same thing happened.
Any idea's?

Can't really say. I've also flashed mUn's latest, and it seemed to go ok. Did you create your own xip directory? If not, use the version in 004's kitchen as a base.

I had the XIP directory from the original ROM kitchen (in dOUbleOfour_Wiz_Dev_5.2.1413WWE.rar). I think I might try without any OEM stuff and build it up and see where it fails. In your original post you mentioned the error checking is not extensive, does it log any errors anywhere? (apart ffrom the log.txt file that looks OK).

You put too many files, that's why it existed. I presume that because it exited at 98% , meaning that almoust fit, but it didn't . Try leaving out a package ...something about 1MB or so..mabe less

Yep, I think that's what the issue is
When I tried cooking with this as the Base ROM previously I ran into size limitations so I was hoping that these new kitchen tools would solve this -
This allows the rom to be packed more efficiently, and thus more packages and files to be burned into the rom. The savings is not trivial, several megabytes at least.

Obviously not enough
I'll play around a bit more and see where I get....

I'm very sorry, but I left out a very important preparation step in my original posting. Please redownload the package to get the corrected version. (V1.1) I think you will find the results to be much more satisfying! Keep the bug reports coming..
the new start batch file doesn't have the correct paths in it. its trying to work in the root folder not temp.
the original one works good though. too late to flash tonight, but i'll give it a go tomorrow and let you know how it works
I tried to correct the start batch file to use temp but now get errors about not finding initflashfiles.dat in the temp\dump area. I don't have time to debug this right now.
I also noticed that the nb2nbf.exe is a Typhoon Smartphone version (so not sure that is correct for the Wizard).
I will say that the pre processor that does the packing is cool. The Faria Vanilla 80040000.nb (in Faria's kitchen its actually called FLASH.nb0, so I just renamed it) was 58.3MB in size. After running the PrepareNewNB.bat it was then 57.1MB, so a full meg smaller. I'll see about moving this over to the Faria kitchen and using it to rebuild my rom later and see how that changes things when its actually flashed to the phone.
i'll post the working one in a little bit.
edit... here's the one that works for me

Thanks, I was bleary eyed last night with trying to figure out what was going on that it wasn't working for you guys, and I ended up "fixing" some things that weren't broken I guess.
Just be sure to delete the old dump file in the temp directory after you run the preparenewnb.bat file.
Has the compression been working for you?
I appreciate your help. I'm juggling lots of things with "real life" and am sorry for the slip-ups.
I am updating the first postings.

Maybe its an issue with the Faria RK base rom and compatibility with this kitchen, but even with this updated file (thanks for that) I still get the following error when running the build os step:
Code:
Could not find file "temp\dump\initflashfiles.dat".
The other question is, is it ok to use the Typhoon Smartphone nb2nbf.exe that comes with this?

Yeah, I was just running through the faria kitchen and had the same issue. The workaround is to copy the initflashes.dat file in the OS folder and then paste it into the dump directory after buildos has deleted the previous dump and before it is processing the sys\os directory. (Watch the process messages at the bottom of the buildos screen.) This worked for me.
Yes the typhoon version works fine. I think they are mostly all relabeled versions of the same original tools. (Except the imgf tools which are recently updated by tadzio.)
Hope this helps.
weird. intiflashfiles.dat copied over for me using 004's kitchen
I just finished doing a build with faria's kitchen as a base, and was somewhat disappointed that I was unable to flash the entire kitchen at once. I had to leave out enterprise and voip (which is fine for me, but some may want them). I'd be interested in hearing how much extra space people are finding. I felt like I was able to cram a lot more into double_ofour's mUn release, but perhaps that's because it was more stripped down to start? Maybe "the kitchen sink" was a bit optimistic.
Re Faria kitchen
mfrazzz, The easy fix for the faria kitchen is to use faria's buildos.exe instead of the generic one I included. That one runs fine with his kitchen. Just rename it to bos.exe. (or edit the start.bat appropriately.) I don't think this will affect the packing of the files.
Update
OK, Things seem stable now. I've updated the first posting with additional information gleaned from everyone's input, and updated the version. The old start.bat that notyourdaddy posted should not be necessary.
FYI, I got feedback from one user that they got about 2.5 meg additional space from these tools vs the old tools. Not as earth shattering as I'd hoped, but helpful. Roms with more small files, as opposed to those with larger files will likely benefit more, as the savings are in the "padding" between them.
Feel free to incorporate this into your own kitchens.
Regards,

is there such a program/kitchen available?

Hi
I was wondering if there was such a kitchen available that did the following:
you place the nk.nbf file into the kitchen
the kitchen 'reads' the nbf file
you get a tick list full of the OEM packages available in the kitchen, with those that have been included in the ROM already ticked off.
i know that farias kitchen has some oem's pre-ticked-those that appear in the rom, but i'm looking for a 'GENERIC' kitchen, one that can be used to modify ANY rom that i choose to lob into it
is this possible? it would just make it easier to remove certain 'modules' in their entirety
anything exist?
thanx
I use the Core Kitchen (but most will do similar) and it has an extract area all setup (so I play with this to pull things out of other roms without it impacting the rom I'm working on currently). You can put a rom in this area (source folder), and go through the steps and you will come out with the OEM / SYS / and ROM folders for you (again, other kitchens / tools do the same, this is just nice and scripted). You can then move that to the Kitchen area (the script will do this for you actually) and then if you were to build a rom, you'd get exactly what came out of this (no options.xml files are created, so everythign in OEM and SYS is included into the rom automatically, and there is nothing to "tick" in the buildos.exe program). You can then go and create the options.xml that you want, or use the style where if its in OEM, its built. If you don't want it, then move it to the Packages folder and it won't be built (so Packages is a holding area for packages you don't want in the current build). Then you don't have to deal with options.xml (this is how I tend to build now as I like that style).
One of my goals (after my next release of XM6) is to create a WiKi page on using the Core Kitchen (I'll try to comment to make it generic for other kitchens too, but I like how the Core Kitchen is laid out).

[ROM][WWE] Ready-to-Cook Vanille Elf base ROM (SYS & OEM) 2.20.707.1B [ONLINE]

I share my base so that our Cook could have easier life (I hope).
This is not a ready-for-flashing product. You will still have to Cook and BuildOS. Don't download if you have no idea what to do with cooking.
This is Vanille ROM (SYS & OS) based on 2.20.707.1B WWE. Both files and Registry are trimmed.
I use this base to cook my own ROM and everything looks good. I am appreciated if you could trim down the size further.
What are removed (Removed items are included in zips attached):
------------------
SYS
-Windows Update
-Internet Sharing
-Transcriber
-Windows Live
OEM
-Comm Manager
-Audio Manager
-Home Plugin
-Phone Skin <== experimental
-Task Manager (X button)
-MMS
-TouchPad and Touch Keyboard
Enjoy!

Don't worry bro, I'm downloading it now and I will do some cooking 2nite.

kick to first page.. I wonder if ppl know what to do with this
Bascially when you put back Comm Manager, Audio Manager, MMS, Phone skin and Task manager, pack it into .NBH and flash it, it is a Vanilla ROM already.
I seperate each part just for the sake of easier replacement of different modules.
I am trying to make a clean, trimmed down rom. I am sure I can learn something by reviewing your base here.
Thank you vm for sharing!
Hey guys... Exploring the keyboard oem package i've noticed that there are alot of language database files for other languages than the ones selectable in the rom.
Mayb we can edit the reg to make these languages also available?
I'm studying on it, but still no progress.

These stuffs could be easier removed from the SYS. They are packed within seperate folders already. So no hard work is needed
Maybe I should seperate those stuffs in next version (if there is any) to make the ROM even easier for noobs.
Also it would be nice to integrate Rapi certificates.

Maybe i didn't use the right words.
What i wanted to say sort of is.
That you don't need to remove the actuall packages.
You split the whole rom up by adding option.xml files.
You set the needed folders to True and the unneeded folders to False.
Just check the option.xml i just attached for the entertainment folders.
Also are removed files from Oem folders brought into a new DSM file to prevent Missing files when extracting the rom.
And if WLM is removed do you add the removed Shortcuts to the WLM packages.
You know me i'm saying this to help, because if you want a good true vanilla it has to be perfect.
I've added some new packages to Elf Repository for use in kitchen.
HTCHome 2.1 plug in with Added Tab settings.
Updated Network Wizard SD and MM Package.
WWAN (if only for the option xml file, it's pretty useless to have anyway)
Multiple GlyphChace Settings Oem Packages.
All using Xtriny's new Build which does allow changing of Pagepool settings.
There's a memory fault in the pre 5.2.1933 version of 2.2 Rom.
At the moment i just started a new ROM and it's going to take weeks to finish it.
Luckely no ones waiting for a new ROM anymore because they are popping up left and right.
So i can take my time. I think it's time i take my responsibility and stop being a chef.
A lot is going wrong and i'm not talking about you.
Looks like we are making another "Pandora" style kitchen when we add option.xml to individual packages.
It is a good idea, but will consume lots of time. Let me see if I could do it
That's what i mean. But you don't need to do this alone.
I'm uploading every detail i can find.
So there's allready a lot of packages available.
After every change i make a selectable package.
And even when you re extract the rom you don't get missing files.
For instance when you remove files from OAMAPPS folder and rebuild the DSM contents. All the modules in folders won't be added and you still have missing files.
But if you then take the EXE's and DLL's out of the folder sand put them into OEMAPPS folder and then make Rebuild the DSM you won't have missing files.
Weird thing is that when you then extract that NBH file the OEMAPPS will then be extracted to SYS folder instead.
This shouldn't be a big problem as you have probaply seen in other kitchen's
Here's a Vanilla Based on 2.2 os 5.2.1933
You can extract the Rom and recook it.

It's almost 63 MB storage 59.39 free.
Memory free around 26.
no HTCHome wlm X button audio Manager and it's clean and recookable.
But i'm Pulling it so Xtriny can post it. It came from his base.
I just completely stripped it to 50.1 MB as close to the max as possible.

I share my base so that our Cook could have easier life (I hope).
This is not a ready-for-flashing product. You will still have to Cook and BuildOS. Don't download if you have no idea what to do with cooking.
This is Vanille ROM (SYS & OS) based on 2.20.707.1B WWE. Both files and Registry are trimmed.
I use this base to cook my own ROM and everything looks good. I am appreciated if you could trim down the size further.
What are removed (Removed items are included in zips attached):
------------------
SYS
-Windows Update
-Internet Sharing
-Transcriber
-Windows Live
OEM
-Comm Manager
-Audio Manager
-Home Plugin
-Phone Skin <== experimental
-Task Manager (X button)
-MMS
-TouchPad and Touch Keyboard

can this b used for cooking roms for elfin (128\256)? which kitchen do we use to cook this rom?
I'm not sure.
But it's an earlier Base then the vanilla version i posted up ahead.
But if you download the .nbh file and extract the os.nb then read the PP chaging tutorial in th cooking class kitchen you can check if it has the correct value.
If the value for pagepool is 20 it is for both elf and elfin.
hello guy´s
i am new here and i want to flash the vanilla2.20.707.1B on my elf
i´ve got ipl 3.10 and spl 3.07 on it . the problem is : every time i try to flash ( Executing HTC_Touch_WWE_ME_2.20.456.1B.exe ) it Goes through the bootloder to status bar , after holding on at 1 % the touch restarts to winmob.
Ahe Flash prog ( RUU ) is showing ERROR 260: Connection.
can someone plz help me i´ve searched all the fourums . after 4 -5 h of trying you are my last hope.
Greetz Foe
I´m not sure, but if your IPL / SPL is the patched version, it has overwrite protection, and the ROM you´re trying to flash is full, it contains all areas: IPL, SPL, ROM, Splash and Radio.
The way around is to extract the individual ROM components and rebuild the NBH file including only the ROM section, leaving IPL, SPL, Splash and Radio out. When you flash this one, IPL/SPL won´t be overwritten, so no error will pop.
Any kitchen around comes with all the tools you need for the procedure. If you don´t know how to do it, take a look at the forums, this subject is very well covered.
Hope this helps.

[Sept 24, 2008] DK's Kitchen v1 WM6.1, CE OS 5.2.20748 and 5.2.20755

I think _Alex_ was the last to offer a kitchen and I think it's about time we had a new one. Everyone has their own needs and I know no ROM is perfect so here's my attempt to satisfy everyone.
I don't know if I'm going to have the time to answer everyone's questions and to help resolve all issues so I have to ask the community to please help out when you guys can.
Next, on with the thanks and I know I'm going to leave some people out so I apologize in advance. So thanks to these users for the tools and support we use to customize our phones:
-- kyphur, bepe, jerplea, jscepi, cmonex, alltheway, p1tater...
And to these people for helping me test and support my roms:
-- hang.tuah, dani31, -888-, idj1975, ecltech, kmfm$, rkrasny...
Here's what's included in the link:
OEM-3.29: my cleaned up OEM folder based off of 3.29 Dopod ROM
OEM-Packages: my packages created with help from XDA (see attachment for list)
ROM-20748: ported XIP from jerplea, OS.NB edited to show 20748
SYS-20748: ported SYS from jerplea, has 20212 components
SYS-Extras: entertainment (solitaire, bubble breaker), office, onenote, windowslive
And without further ado here's what you need to do:
1. Extract Kitchen.rar to the root of your drive (i.e. c:\ or d:\)
2. Extract OEM-3.29, ROM-20755, SYS-20755 to where you extracted Kitchen.rar
3. Copy packages you want from OEM-Packages to OEM folder
4. Copy packages you want from SYS-Extras to SYS folder
5. Cook and flash, see attached DK's Instructions doc if you need more help
NOTE: The contents of "OEM\OEMXIPKernel" are REQUIRED for cooking if you want your rom to boot
To get 2DManila working you will want to include from OEM-Packages the following:
-- 2DManila, Album, AudioBooster, AudioManager, CommManager, ConcurrenceMgr, VerionInfo, YouTube, Camera, Dshow, (me thinks that's everything)...You also need GoogleMaps.cab and OperaMobile (not included, search Dev&Hack for current version)
My Supa-Clean ROM always have the following:
-- ConcurrenceMgr, OutlookEnhancement, PictureEnhancement, RingtonePlugin, VersionInfo, StartupAnimationEngine, SymbolPad, DShow and mHub

Great. Really appreciate your gift.
Thank you very much indeed.
yay! Beautiful gift to our community
I will add it to my public share in few minutes...
I aim to please!
akadonny,
Thanks for sharing. Haven't done this in a very long time so maybe I'll give it go.
I downloaded your full 99mb Kitchen, and everything extracts fine. I've cooked up several ROMs so far, so I have a decent understanding of the process.
I apologize if this question has a simple answer, but I am having no luck, so here goes:
I want to use your 20748 build (you mentioned that 20753 has issues with SMS Threading) to update my NATF ROM series. Due to extensive customization I have done to my OEM folder, I would like to keep it as it, and so I extracted your ROM and SYS archives into my existing Kitchen folder. Now this is where it gets complicated...
I have tried using you Kitchen and Alex's Kitchen, both produce different results, and neither seem to work.
Using your Kitchen, the ROM appears to build fine, but OS.nb is nowhere to be found when HTC ROM Tool launches.
If I use Alex's Kitchen with BuildOS 2.7, then I get an error that it cannot find the ROM folder, but after clicking OK, everything builds as normal. However, after flashing the new ROM, my Tilt sits at the initial splash with R G D and will not go any further.
If I update the BuildOS in Alex's Kitchen to 4.3, everything builds correct and the ROM flashes OK, but UC does not run, File Explorer has an AT&T icon for some reason, and Manilla does not work.
--Ultimately, here is my question--
I want to keep the customizations that I have made to both AT&T Official 6.1 ROM (3.57) and HTC's Official WWE (3.28), but I want to use a newer OS build.
Is there a very special/exact combination of things I need to do in order to achieve this?
Thank you for absolutely any insight you can provide.
@NATF- have you tried mbarvian's Kitchen? I have been using his for awhile now trying to get a decent fully stripped rom....It's pretty decent.
@akadonny- sorry for me to tell him it. I will try yours out too...thanks again for your kitchen. Great if added to Wiki...

I tried this one also...
I must be doing something wrong since these kitchen's can't all be incompatible with the 20xxx builds (can they?), but I can't seem to figure it out.
notatreofan,
You should be able to combine your OEM with any ROM and/or SYS. If you run through the kitchen I provided you will need to look for os-new.nb as that is the file that is created. I may be wrong, but I think you need Windows Script 5.6 or something like that. Also, the kitchen needs to be run from the root of a drive so the folder structure looks something like:
C:\Kitchen\OEM
C:\Kitchen\ROM
C:\Kitchen\SYS
After you run !COOK.cmd and it finishes you will have a os-new.nb in your C:\Kitchen folder. Sorry if I'm not understanding correctly. I hope this solves your issue.
All - I removed the 20753 ROM and SYS and added 20755 ROM and SYS

Thank you for your answer. I could swear this is what I was doing, but I've tried so many things that I cannot remember... I'm going to try this method (again?) now, and I'll report back.
i have the same problem
i put your kitchen d:\Kitchen
after inside there the FOLDER sys and rom from 20755 and oem from 3.29
i push the cook
flash the new rom
and after splash screen with R,G,D no respond
My problem continues also.
I can cook successfully if I use the included OEM folders, but mine still causes a freeze at boot.
Plus my packages don't cook in properly using your Kitchen either. I put all of my packages in the OEM folder like your instructions say, and I can see BuildOS processing them, but I know that they're not being integrated because the resulting RUU_signed.nbh file is 28MB too small.
I try now the older 20748
and all working grate
in ABOUT screen have the new number of OS and Build
ACADONY you must test the 20755 again
something going wrong with it
also i can inclunding package with you rom
and your package don't working with alex kitchen

I am having the same problem at NATF....any ideas????
No preblems at all with 20748... about cooking...
The one big problem at this moment is that I don't get connection trough my provider/operator.
Through ActiveSync and wifi, programs like PIE and RSS Hub works but not via G, E, 3G or H.
It has connection, I mean G, E, 3G or H are visible (depends area wich one) and there is coming an another smaller icon of the four icons but no connection with an error... ;(

the 20748 is only one who working.. but activesync running on backround
20755 stack on splash screen
20753 when flash it start the boot loader screen and say something for error in core try again
For those getting stuck at the bootloader with 20755. Check to make sure that wince.nls is either in the ROM\XIP folder or as a package in SYS. This is a known problem with ROM's that hang at the splash screen. This may not be the case here, but it wouldn't hurt to check. I'm downloading 20755 now. I'll see what I can do.

[WM Kitchen] Wizard Kitchen

This is a kitchen based on Cracing's CRBuilder2 that I have been using for some time now.
Many thanks to him, S.V.I and the many others that have made this kitchen possible.
This is not a visual kitchen, I have not managed to do that. Instead it is a drag and drop kitchen. You create you ROM batch and then drop it into the OVEN to cook.
Please avoid spaces in file name, it will help avoid problems that may arise.
The ROM batch folder arrangement is that of platformrebuilder.
Code:
_ROM_Batch
EXT
Wizard
Extended Packages
OEM
OEM Packages
ROM
XIP
MSXIPKernel
MSXIPKernelLTK
OEMXIPKERNEL
SYS
SYS Packages
I put the _ in front of my ROM_Batch folders to find them easier.
I have as many error checks as I can think of, but they may not catch everything. Since I drag and drop pieces in and out of my ROM batch, I sometimes drop them in the wrong place. Most of these errors should get caught. This saves having to go through the cooking process to find you have a module in another module's folder.
I also have a Configurator option in my kitchen. This will merge all config.txt files in you ROM batch into one file. This is useful if you are using AutoRun, but have some packages from a RunCC version ROM. You will want to remove any CFG: lines to avoid running a config.txt twice. Also, this is how I do something similar to add2config.txt I have seen in other kitchens. For example, if you create an EXT package that has a config.txt file with some commands you want to add to the main config.txt like EXEC:\windows\myprogram.exe these lines will get added to the new Config.txt. Configurator also adds and CAB files you do not already have listed in the Config.txt files.
Here it is Wizard_Kitchen.7z
It includes Cracing's CR96 Touch HD ROM batch he recently posted.
If you drag and drop the Extended_ROM folder into the OVEN you can build an Extended ROM by itself.

Thanks! I'll have to switch over to this. I grabbed the RC6 kitchen, and I've started cooking. So far, I've just updated the Google Maps app, as a sanity test. It worked as expected so I'm ready to try something more wild. I'll DL this kitchen tonight, compare it with CRACING's kitchen for the same version, then see if I can figure out how to plug the RC6 parts into it. I know that you've done that already, but I want to learn.
I think your ExtROM magic is going to be helpful in increasing available internal storage, but I don't see it helping the main deficiency of a 6.5 ROM on the Wizard, which is available RAM.
I downloaded this kitchen, extracted it to c:/WizardKitchen, and dragged _Cracing_Latest into OVEN.exe, then answered all the questions with the defaults. The resulting OS was too big.

Didyou mean CR96 Touch HD™ RC5 Reloaded w/ M2D Build 21882 Cracing recently posted? For my kitchen you can do this. Copy the sample folder under Wizard_Kitchen and rename the copy to something like _CR96_RC5 or any other name that works for you. Best to have no spaces. Then copy EXT, OEM, ROM and SYS folders from Cracing's kitchen you downloaded to your new folder _CR96_RC5. Then drag and drop the _CR96_RC5 folder on to the OVEN.exe file and the kitchen will start making your ROM.
Cracing's ROM is clean you so can answer no to the Configurator as he already has a complete Config.txt file in his kitchen. Also, you can answer no to the include an Ext_ROM question or pick yes and copy the empty extended ROM I included in the kitchen. There are a few other questions to answer and yo can try it different ways to see what you like best.
You are correct. The extended ROM only lets us add more stuff into our phone during a flash. I am still watching ShaDrac as he works on Extendir.

Use LZX compression. That is how I manage to fit more stuff. I do it by default now asa matter of habit.
If that alone does not help. I typically choose 0, Try Reducing, 4MB pp and include -no cert for the other question group
Thanks, much closer now. Compression was the key to making it fit.
Yes I am trying both _Cracing_Latest and _Cracing_RC6 which I copied from CRACING's recently released kitchen. I am focusing on RC6 but using your _Cracing_Latest as a sanity check.
They both build successfully now. I have not yet burned _Cracing_Latest, but when I burned RC6 it doesn't boot. I've tried twice: it gets stuck at the second screen. I will try same with _Cracing_Latest since I assume it works.

Both of his versions booted for me. Hmmm, I'll try to think of what it could be.
