great share its right much appreciated here

rocking! thanx! I might just use this thing afterall. one question: is the size of the nb0 the same as the original 5.1 for the wizard? I found that using the 57mb nbo didn't allow me to have as much room, while not increasing storage space. I believe the original nb0 is 58.+ mb. which allows for almost 2mb more for things like live and MSVC.
Thanx for porting and posting the kitchen. if I use it for the next one the creds will for sure be yours.

Thansk a lot!
You rock Itsright!
Finally what we were expecting from your hands!
Thanks for sharing your [email protected]!
Now, let's play!
Take care!

Awesome.
Once I get to play with and test this I will consider posting my "latest and greatest"

hi guys,
many of users asked me before to release my kitchen, then i said i will release for own using not for public, so i decided to remove all my stuff (to save my work) and share what i did for xip ported (especially) and driver modules are relocated all of these at the best ways (no hacking at all).
you will find xip folder in ROM, all of these are useless, what ever you change will not effect , so just play with OEM and SYS.
if all happy with this thing, i will continue porting and sharing.

It's Right,
Great Job!!
Now this definitely deserves a sticky guys! I will try your newest rom out and then I will look into using this for my own special brand.
Thank you so much,

Damn!
This thing is FREAKING HUGE!
I had a whole bunch of stuff that I got into the 19199 port I've been using as a base, but I got in IMMEDIATE trouble with this one as soon as I started cooking.
The 64MB wall is made out of granite, and you just can't get beyond it. Well, I've got a problem trying to stay under it now.
What accounts for these huge changes? Were the '199 version's components compressed or something where this one is not?
I don't know why the difference is so large, but it is......

Ok, I'll update that comment - There has to be some sort of duplication of files and space consumed in this one.
I stripped damn near everything I usually stick in the ROM - I mean everything - and I still wound up with a file that was too big and wouldn't flash!
I even went so far as to go back and "squeeze" things that hadn't been squeezed in the base ROM in an attempt to make it fit, and still no-go.
To give you an idea of what's in there that fails, I literally have the Kaiser Comm MAnager, a little BT utility (about 20kb), Total Commander, MMS, 1 Calc and a couple of other small apps in the ROM. It builds far too big and won't flash.
If this is the base that you're using for the TNT series there's no way in hell you could possibly get that set of apps in there unless there's just a huge amount of cruft being left in the kitchen.
Would love to work with it but can't with this as a base.... almost nothing will fit

what is the nb0 size? I use a 19209=with what used to be 57mb then used a 59mb from Faria's kitchen... i kept getting the imfg error if I added too much stuff, so I got rid of WML to make room for stuff. You can also upx the entertainmet (games) and you can change the graphics in photoshop so they take up less space.
I also had errors when I was screwing around with some reg settings... so maybe that could be an issue with some packages.
try to add one package at a time to see which package is screwing things up..
I haven't downloaded it yet. ;aybe when I get home.

I'm in a middle of flashing my first real tentative...
I was playing around and after adding my stuff, I got 61MB which is really big
I do not know about duplication but with a OS near to 60mb, maybe it's coming with most stuff inside!
I'm now trying with much less apps. Just what I consider essential. Let's see...
I also tried to dump and then repack a new NB but didn't have luck...
still on the road....
cheers

Can anybody post a mirror for this kitchen? Rapidshare being gay today.....

so I downloaded it, and have to say I don't have much use for it. maybe backup sys files in case I screw something up. the NB0 is 57mb which meand you can not cram much stuff in it. it will build, but not flash well. I would recomend using the original nb0 or Faria's 318 which is about 2 mb bigger.

amm... i think the tools chefs are using are not suitable for the nb file.
amm... i will think again to release the whole kitchen i used, the nb file i edited to give the advantages of bepe tools for porting xip and locating modules without any action by the chef, just copy and past then cook with no worries about locating and porting.
if i decided to release that, i need some time to give a good guide for the chefs .

Wise man....
By doing this way, chances to have good final results increases!
Take your time!

v2.0 Integrating Touch Files into 318 Kitchen [kitchen updated 7/9/07 @ 21:37 PST]

I need some help debugging the kitchen with the touchflo files.
For those who are sent the new kitchen; as you test and find solutions, please post what you did.
I wanted a sperate thread for just these specific objecives.
Here is the objectives:
To retain the ability to build a ROM with or without TouchFlo
To have only ONE seperate camera package that will work in any configuration
To allow portions of the touch software to work seperately should TouchFlo not be installed
I know there are other threads dedicated to debugging the touch software, however this is targeted at just the kitchen integration.
Current issues (v2):
Streaming Media isn't showing up in Programs, won't open.
Speed Dial hasn't been confirmed working or not.
No images for Beam - still need pictures!!!
Windows Live won't connect. Cab fixes issue. Need to find missing entries
Black Keyboard doesn't show numbers across top row. Need to find setting.
The power button will put phone into "standby" mode (basically screen and Wifi off), but won't power down.
318
I'll be glad to test. I was working on a 318 Kitchen but didn't get very far.
Too many Duplicate files.
Going back to work on my own kitchen I was much further along than what you have here.
My suggestions:
1) You should at start by deleting duplicate files. I can build a rom and flash it with my kitchen, I can't build with yours w/o getting one dup file error after another.
Please update, I will try to devote some time to your kitchen.
Thanks
NP. I'll update shortly.
My Files
I deleted dup files in my kitchen but I think I deleted one to many, now I can build, and I can flash using shelltool but it gets stuck at splash screen. Damm where did I go wrong??? I feel like a dumbass!
Hopefully this one will work a bit better. another 30 mintues till it's up.
The boot issue is probably related to the files in the OEMAPPS folder. There are some dll's in there that I found are super sensitive to this build - too bad I wasn't more careful in documenting what they were.
Documenting.
Started documenting now! Too much going on now not to, especially after my last mistake.
Test
So have you actualy built and started testing a rom with your kitchen?
I've been doing that for days... but I've tried a number of different combinations and this one seems most promising - though by no means is it ready. 1413 has by far been the easiest, but I still believe the 318 is the best choice.
I'm gonna be out until Monday night, so this is my last attempt for a few days
I have 318 with touchflo working.
Keep the original OEMAPPS im afraid, literally just the touchflo components (Audiomanager,etc) and then use recmod on touch.dll and throw it in OEMDRIVERS.
Ive just finished my refined version of the DOPOD touch rom, very well tweaked, it is as close to OEMWizard as it will ever get.
Going to give that a test burn tonight hopefully.
I will post my OEM folder for 318 if you need it.

If you could, it would be much appreciated. Anything to help get closer to a fully functioning setup
Ok, so i tested the oem folder from the reTouched Beta thing. I included everything in there but my problem is that TouchFLO does not function the way it is supposed to. With what you guys are doing, have you verified that TouchFLO even operates correctly?
I thnk the touch flo isn't all its cracked up to be..I ran the reTouch wasn't a fan..its not as fast as any rom..only thing I like is the dialer and the cube
I actually have a good feeling about it. I ran the french rom for a couple days - and other than not knowing most of what it said (glad I know the OS and took 2 years of french in high school) I was very pleased with the performance. Specifically the speed at which the screen "rotated", responsiveness, and how quickly the contacts scrolled on the screen was impressive. Enough to keep me interested well into the night
so matt, think you can make a cab from it? the cube that is lol.

So if what you are saying is true I should be able to create cabs from the correct?
AFAIK It wont be possible due to the touch driver not being replacable, you might be able to rename touch.dll and then update the registry entry.

For what I see whiterat folder are some reg tweaks that you'll probably use anyways, and as far as folders to remove it might be less of a hassle to simply add the packages that you use that are not there.

[PreRelease BigStorage] Just2Clean and Two New Kitchen [Updated:04.22.08]

Update: 04/22/08
This is a release for the ROM and the porting kitchen. It does not port XIP's, yet, just SYS folders, but it does what it needs to do. I haven't tested it in more than just one port, though. The one I did test came out perfect, though.
The ROM has 63.XXmb FREE storage and 31.XXmb free with SD RAM.
To flash it you MUST have a HardSPL'ed Herald or Wing and a microSD card. Just place the HERAIMG.nbh into the SD card's root directory. Do NOT rename it to anything else. Then hold the camera button down while you turn on the device and then press the volume down slider when it asks you to. Wait until it says it's done. I haven't tried to run any activesync other than to an exchange server so tell me if that isn't working.
I'll be done with finals this week and then I can finally work on the other kitchen.
I'll upload it when I come back from school.
Update #2: 04/14/08
Just added a screenshot. Mind you, this is WITH SD card AND after I installed my "troubleshooting" tools.
Update: 04/14/08
60mb of FREE storage space.
32mb RAM with no SD
30MB RAM with SD
No compression (I'll probably released a UPX'd version, as well...)
Fixed all bugs found so far except for two. Maybe you guys can help me figure them out... the sad part, I've fixed these same two bugs countless times in my other ROMs, but I just can't remember how I did it. lol
1. Comm Manager: It doesn't matter what comm manager I place in there, it still boots up the built in comm manager. (The one that Tmobile has anyways.)
2. The Vibrate button. I have all the files and I have it setup so that it vibrates when you hold down the comm button, BUT it keeps trying to open VoiceCMD even though I deleted all visible entries for it...
Update: 04/03/08
Ok guys. Here's some info on my current projects.
1. Just2Clean is almost done. I just have to fix some bugs. The OEM is from an unreleased Wing ROM, the SYS I ported over using... well keep reading.
2. My phone currently is running currently has 62.38mb total of storage... and I was able to shrink the extrom and use that ROM space for storage. Granted, you need to have HardSPL and a memory card for this to work, but it's awesome. This ROM is also so small and stripped that it's the fastest ROM I've ever used and I don't even have any tweaks on it, yet.
3. Kitchen 1: PPCBuildOS: Unfortunately, I haven't had time to work on porting it, but after I get Just2Clean fixed, I'll be working on it. AWESOME kitchen. The creator is so willing to help, too. Made me a developer of the Atlas section (Herald compatible so no worries for those Herald users.)
4. EasyPortKitchen. So far, I've got it porting SYS folders just fine. I haven't been able to setup XIP porting, but that's because I still don't understand the process behind it. If someone wants to explain it to me, I'll be able to finish this kitchen. So far, Just2Clean had its SYS folder ported in this way.
EDIT: 5: I plan to release the ROM with language packs for the kitchen. Then you can just check on the language you want the ROM to be in while building the ROM.
New Post
Ok, change of plans.... I'm currently working with the makers of PPCBuildOS to make an Atlas/Herald version of their kitchen. It's currently being developed with JustClean, but it will eventually be released with my Just2Clean. (That'll be the new name.) That kitchen is AWESOME, btw. ^_^ Makes my kitchen look like a pitiful script kiddy toy.
Just2Clean will be a WM6.1 stripped down better than JustClean was, more modulized and with its OEM based on an unreleased ROM.
I'll keep you guys posted but I'm not sure of how much I can talk about now that I'm helping develop the Atlas/Herald side of it...
Old Post
A few things that I've been thinking about on my "off" time... basically, the time that I'm just unbusy enough to have my own personal thoughts outside of work or school related ones. lol
All these ROMs would be compatible with my kitchen.
1. SuperClean - A ROM built with lots of compression and minimal programs. The point of this is to be the "bigstorage rom" where you can't even flash it normally because it doesn't meet the size requirements of the RUU/SPL.
2. JustClean2 - Based on an unreleased OEM from an unreleased ROM that I made before I switched to WM6.1. It's based on a Wing ROM... but it has potentials. It just feels faster and it seems to take less space than the current Herald base I'm using. Not to mention that some people are having issues with Herald based ROMs and some bluetooth enabled items.
3. OldClean/NewClean - SuperClean and JustClean2 may have both WM6.0 and WM6.1 versions... I find that, although WM6.0 is slower, it also takes up less space (and therefore can net more storage space) and some people don't seem to like a lot of the WM6.1 features.
What do you guys think? Which would you like to see first? If any? Any better ideas? (And no, no ideas about which programs should be in it, you already have my kitchen for that.) Oh, and the kitchen would become modular, the JustClean1 ROM would be released seperate from the Kitchen.
I'm itching for a ROM as quick as my old WM6.0 ROM, but I haven't had as much luck getting the Herald ROM to run as quickly.
BTW, has anyone ever used my old CleanROM with the Herald keyboard driver? Did you ever have any issues with it?
I vote for a newer WM6.1 built than the "old" 19xxx - there were newer ones outside before bepes kitchen ROM but thy had ActiveSync problems...
Maybe now there are new builts.
OR if not i vote for WM7...hahaha
ALLL the "clean" crap doesn´t make sence to me... why to have a clean rom and then install all by cab.
I ONLY cooked a rom because i was sick of installing all cabs
lol
Good to see ur back to cooking roms
Well i Love the functions of WM6.1 so just about and clean 6.1 rom you cook will be great
so i'd guess from ur descriptions that'd be SuperClean...
Edit: I also use the Office suit a lot but i can add that by a cab, since i know most clean roms dont have it since it takes quite a bit of space

These ROMs are meant to be used with my kitchen. That way they can add what they want and what they want only. Some people just don't use any programs and want the available storage space for other reasons. (Like photos.)
The SuperClean would attempt to create a lot more free space in the ROM. (For example, I have 54.93mb total (I've got a few files saved so I'm not sure how much I had free at first) currently in the ROM I'm currently using and it's no where near optimized and it's one of my fattest unreleased "SuperClean" ROM's that I have ever made.
Imagine being able to get 60mb free WITH all the apps that you use. It would be awesome.
Well at the moment i have a 4GB Memory Card, but reguardless i preffer to use cean roms as they tend to be faster and have more program memory available.
Especially since i use Point UI and dont rly care about today plugins
I vote for just a 6.1 Rom w/ good tweaks (and ready to go for tmo usa) and no extra programs.

And THAT is the problem ... even with 63MB program storage... we will NEVER get more than 32MB free RAM (memory)
to get more storage for apps or even cach is not the problem. BUT getting more RAM is not possible.
But as a clean rom for cooking - OK
but then:
- no skinning
- default looking
- only left what is needed for running system (phone, base apps)
and than we can cook....
thx
AND why don´t we have this OS "System 5.2.19202 (build 19202.1.0.0)"????
the kaiser people have it..

I'm currently learning how to port properly for that specific reason. 19202.1.0.0.
As far as the skinning goes, the final should have the option to have no skin. I'll work on that. The base should have a few things disabled. I'm also working on that. As far as RAM goes, I've gotten up to 38mb free before, but it was missing a lot of items... I could always just modulize the whole ROM and let people choose EVERYTHING down to if they want bluetooth support or not. This can net some pretty nice amounts of free memory. It's just more work for me.
I am also thinking of modulizing the MUI's in the ROM, effectively allowing people to just download language packs. Doubleclick on the file, wait until it does its thing and then you have a French ROM, or a German ROM, or whatever...
It's not that I can't do it, it's that it takes time.... time I don't have.

It seems to me that the 6.1 ROM is a bit faster when doing some things (like opening the windows folder using total commander) is involved - but I think the 6.0 can be tweaked to be just as fast? I would be very excited to try either your SuperClean or JustClean2 as long as the ROM is based on Wing.
I used your CleanROM for quite a while with NO problems but on a Wing.

So it will come with the same kitchen like JustClean?
62 megs...sounds cool. I hope it will be possible to stuff the rom with office etc. and flash it as usual.
Not with the same kitchen. With a new GUI kitchen that the guys at PPCkitchen.org have made for other phones. I'm just helping them port it to the Herald/Atlas.
The EasyPortKitchen is something you would use to port a ROM.
You can install anything you want on it. All my ROMs are always minimal and allow you to install whatever you want on them.

Some cooking questions

I have a few questions about this cooking stuff. Yes I searched and watched the videos. Maybe I can't find the proper wording for the search to work for me. But if I'm in the clear in that department, then maybe I can get some help.
1. If I have a radio that is an NBH file, the BuildOs wants an NB file. How do I convert?
2. How would I get someone else'e rom, say the Hyperdragon roms, and get it to the oem, sys and rom folder. I already did the dump and I end up with the temp directory that has some stuff like what is in the oem, sys, and rom folders. Am I missing something?
3. Is there any easy way to find one of the Packages after doing a dump? Say i am looking for the registry entries in the Hyperdragon roms, where would those be and how would I get them?
I have the basic idea of how to do this stuff, just need some assistance in the stuff that I feel was not covered very well. I already made a few roms with Manilla and without and some with HTC home. They all work with some bugs here and there. I have never been much of a person on reading on how to do stuff, just tell the "simple" explanation and I experiment from there.
Any help, please!
Hi there I don't know if this thread really belongs here (mods will tell ) but here are some answers to your question:
1/ use the search function... ok, not SO funny
1 bis/ use NBH extract http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289830
2/ Download a good Kaiser kitchen (Alex's or the one on PPCKitchen) and follow the first steps that will extract your OEM/SYS folders
3/ Registry entries can be found all the place, under varied forms: basically, .rgu files, initflashfile.dat, and .provxml files. You'll have to take some (like in a lot) time to figure out which modifies a given reg key
Hope this shed some light
Best regards
Ok, I was missing the Extraction tool for the NBH files.
I thought I was right on the reg files but I was thinking, maybe even hoping, for an easier route but I guess not.
I have everything I could find on the kitchen stuff and have tons of packages and cabs. Now, like you said, time to spend a lot of time experimenting.
But again, where do I get a radio*.nb file from?

You have download the radio you want, and extract it using nbh tool.
You'd better not include the radio ROM into your final .nbh package: it will be easier to later test different radio roms without having to reflash the radio in case you flash the main (OS) rom again, and will make your packaged ROM lighter. If you later want to share it, you can still zip your OS and Rasio roms together for people to flash separately...
Remember that the efficiency of a radio ROM is more or less closely tied to your phone service provider, location, Kaiser build, color of your socks and so on... People most often have a prefered radio ROM they'll tend to stick to.
When I cook roms I want to share, I get 3 .nbh ready: one for OS, one for radio, and one for splash, so people can choose to flash whatever they want.
So NBHextract works on everything. Who would've thought. I think maybe I am reading too hard in this. My biggest deal on the radio was I want to make one for myself where I can put my phone back to how it is exactly. If I try a cooked one and need to change a few things then I can load my stuff back on without spening 30 minutes doing it.
Thanks for the answers guys, I appreciate it.
Another question. Is there any other way than flashing to your phone to test these roms? I know microsoft has that "emulator" to try out WM6. Any way to change those files?

convert visual SYS files to work with old style

How do you use sys files that are designed for visual kitchens with the non visual buildos? I tried moving all the folders into one directory and buildos finishes but the rom doesn't boot... anyone? thanks!
I dunno, but you'll need all of the dsm's to begin with. If you don't have them, you might as well not even try. There's a folder in the visual kitchens with dependencies; maybe those are the dsm's that are removed from the original packages. It's just a guess.
Why not just use the newer kitchens? Or, wait until Da_G finishes with all of his kitchen tools. I bet he'll have everything figured out.
Edit: Or, check this post. It will probably help you out.
Thanks for the info! Perhaps I should have also asked what the differences were! I will check that post. About newer kitchens.. I guess I am old-fashioned. I will have to convert one day but it's like I am with cars, I require a standard transmission - one day I will have to give in a drive automatic ...

Automatic sucks, don't go there, lol.
I started out with the older style kitchens and was reluctant to change, but it's really not that hard. You'll need to convert your packages, but there's a simple tool for doing it put together by Kraize. The kitchen itself works better; I used to have the older style one crash all the time. Just suck it up and do it.
more and more kitchens are showing up as visual. I have groove rom 5 kitchen but just could not figure it out, my rom would not boot. maybe I will swap my question around and learn to convert old style kitchens to new. I do kinda like the no duplicate file error... and the nbh's they produce do seem to be smaller. not sure though as I have never made a rom that will boot!

Release: Dissected OEM/EXT files

I have separated as many parts as I could figure out with TPC's OEM and EXT packages from his last kitchen (at the time of this posting), 23034.
If you cook using TPC's files, I highly recommend that you upgrade to these.
I deleted some things that were partially deleted, removed references in *.rgu and initflashfiles.dat to files that are missing. I corrected some rgu/reg files that were missing the trailing CRLF. I removed many *.provxml that did nothing. I cleaned up the *.rgu, *.reg so that they are easier to read and contain no delete entries ([-HKEY_...]).
Here is the link
BTW, I spoke with TPC about my findings and asked his permission before releasing this. He let me know that he doesn't personally use the files anymore since he uses a newer device and that he compiled these files when he was still learning to cook.
Downloading Now! Thanks selyb
Can't extract
Don't know where the problem is, but I can't extract files from your archives (tried winrar and 7zip), gets an error telling me its an "unsupported compression method". Anyone else with this problem?
Edit:
I'm stupid! Says in your post that I must use the newest 7zip BETA. Get it.
Good job! Stole some for use in my pure kitchen. Started out on TPC's kitchen and learned a lot by fixing the files as needed.
I'm just happy that someone else could get some use out of all the work I've done on them. If anyone finds anything wrong or has any advice/complaints please don't hesitate to post.

Nice one Sir. I noticed that most of the packages were incompatible with the newer builds. I have an idea for you tho:- Why dont you start your new thread like Ultimate packages- Collect Packages and fix em up and release them so that chef's dont waste time they just download and cook like users download and flash Nice eh think about it. LOL! - Nice once again I am downloading right now...
What I was really aiming for by releasing these files is to give people the same thing they had before but make it much easier to remove each element and to point out what had not been done or what had been done incompletely with these files in the first place.
I had thought about doing exactly what you suggested but tossed the idea because I believe there is no such thing as 'one size fits all' with these roms. Every use has different needs and no matter what you cook in or leave out, some users want more cooked in and others want more left out. I feel the same way about these base files.
I know very well that newer versions of many of these packages exist and one reason for this release was to make it easier for people to replace the packages with newer ones.
man, this is awesome! everything's organized just like when u dump a stock rom from the newer devices, no more apps hidden in the oemapps or oemdrivers etc...
Thank you sir
I have begun dissecting the OEM from the latest stock ATT rom and 21055 SYS/XIP. This takes all my spare time (something I don't have much of lately ) but when I release the entire kitchen I plan to update what packages I can. I will use TPC's files as a reference because people seem to like them. I am a minimalist and as such, I don't like most of the crap that people add to their public roms so I doubt it will be an Ultimate package collection. Anyway, it may take me days, maybe even weeks before I can release it.
The files I already released took me more than a month and I still am not satisfied with them. :-/
