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.

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.
Cheersss
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.
4MB PP
It's 50.1 MB 62.63 Storage It's Nice and Neat.Everything not in it can be found in repository.
(The only thing i forgot is to remove the ZIP link)
Hay Noonski
The thing is i've been lookin for a clean rom with big storage and a lot of free ram with TochFlow and WITHOUT htc-home plugin for my Touch
How much Stoarge in the one u linked to? and free ram?
If some one have a good clean stable rom, would u plz pm or post me the link

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.

Do mp3 ringtones work since you removed Windows Media Player?
I have confirmed that the base rom does not play mp3 ringtones without wmplayer.exe. I've added this to the list of known issues in the second post.
Don't let this stop you though, as you can easily cook the Windows Media player back into the ROM.
A fixed base ROM is being uploaded now.
Cheers.
Windows Media Player added back and confirmed MP3 ringtones are working.
Congratulations for your ROM version
Many thanks for your effots...

Any other way to download this ROM other than rapidshare would be appreciated. I've tried for 4 hours, all of the transfer stopped midway.

I cannot seem to be able to successfully dump your ROM with Kaiser Kitchen in order to rebuild it... I am not able to get past the XIP section (with errors in both the .3 version of the Kitchen and the new script posted on Page 4 of the Kitchen).
Is there anything weird about it?
Better yet, can you post the OEM/SYS/ROM folders of your ROM like we see in the other kitchens?
Thanks buddy. Been building my ROMs this whole morning.
Only one thing to note is that even though you added in Windows Media Player, the shortcut for it does not show up in Programs menu.
Is there any fix?
Thanks for your work again
EDIT: I found the answer: dont copy the windows media player OEM.

I don't think the error matters as others are cooking. No worries, I'll upload the folders tonight.
Missing Audio Manager Today plugin
Loaded the Audio Manager Today plugin, however it doesn't show up in Today's list. Am I missing something?
blankbanner.96.gif in oem_htc_wallpaper seems to be a duplicate file.
It was Vista.. I couldn't dump the ROM in Vista... In XP, I can dump the ROM.
I can build it in both Vista and XP...

It's supposed to be... I'm not so narcissistic that I want you to be stuck with my boring customized images on the ROM running on your phone forever
The files found in wallpaper are the defaults that came with the ROM.
Hope this helps.

I accidentally copied the regkey folder value from the installer instead of the app.
If you want a quick fix, please edit the .RGU file and change the line that reads [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HTC] to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\Today\Items\MusicPlayerToday].
I'll upload a fixed version later.
Cheers.

Whoops, sorry. I just realized the reason why duplicate files are PITA is because you're all using the old BuildOS.exe.
I'll upload another revision to the ROM Kitchen, which includes the latest BuildOS+PackageTools.exe from Bepe/Ervius, with a small tutorial.
Duplicate files will no longer be PITA See this post for the Rom Kitchen update.
Alex:
Great ROM base, excellently organized and easy to use in the Kaiser Kitchen. I especially thank you for leaving the "removed" OEM pieces in as packages to be re-cooked into a ROM if desired.
I really can't wait until you issue the same for the ATT 1.60 ROM....any ETA in sight?
Thanks..

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).

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...
Hey guys,
I am working on my first rom. After going through many readings from other sub-forum (hermes and kaiser) as well as Ivan's cooking class, I made my first rom using the Wing stock rom. After deleting un-used packages and files, I can sucessfully build the os.nb and converted it to .nbh file. But when I tried to flash it back to the wing, I got a error saying my RUU cannot used to flash the device, but I have been using this same RUU for many roms. I attached the screenshot, please take a look and help me debug it. It's my first rom Many thanks
go and try when you buld .nbh to set device "herald" but in section "version" write "test" not the numbers that are there by default.....
hope that helps.
Yep, looks like you didn't set it to Herald when you built it.
Thanks. You guys are right. I can flash my rom now. However, it stuck in the primary splash and does not response to the stylus. Any idea how to fix? Again, really appriciate any help.

This is part of the fun of being a cook, figuring out what mistakes we made.
There could have been 1 million different things you could have done that made it not boot up. It could have been something you removed or something you added. What kitchen are you cooking with? (It could also be that you didn't relocate all the modules if you're using something like hypercore.)

I am using hypercore. Can you point me to a reference to use hypercore or maybe an better kitchen for new cooks?
Either use G'Reloc for hypercore, or use Bepe's Extended Kitchen for the Herald. The latter option would be the best.
After re-doing the delete packages part, I got the rom flashed into my wing, booted, but nothing working. I mean windows started, top and bottom bars also loaded, but radio not working, nothing reponses. One thing, the screen seem to flicker a little bit. I notice the boot speed is super fast (really really fast) as in none of the hardware drivers is initialized at all. I am clueless as of this point. Any more help?
@Ivan:
Thanks man. Since I started with hypercore and kind of familiar with it already, I would like to stick with it. Can you show me how to use G'Reloc? Thanks
Just drop the file into your build folder and run it. (Assuming you're using a SYS folder that belongs to your phone.) Bepe's kitchen is great because it does a lot of fixing up for you automatically. It's not a competitor's kitchen, it's a MUCH newer kitchen. I use both. I use Hypercore to take Herald ROMs appart and for different tools in it and Bepe's kitchen to put my ROMs together (and a kaiser kitchen to take appart kaiser, diamond and other ROMs) and I also use my own kitchens which are mostly based out of Bepe's kitchens.
The whole boot speed and nothing working means that you deleted things packages you shouldn't have.
I run G'Reloc, but it ask for slot 1, slot 2, ... Do you mind explain them to me? I tried to just click "do it" with the default values, and it showed that it relocated 265 out of 368. I built the rom and flashed it to my wing, but it stuck in the boot splash now. Thank for the help
Those are taken from a folder in your SYS folder. It sounds to me like you deleted a lot of packages that are essential to WM6/6.1. You can't delete everything that SOUNDS like you don't use. Also, the SYS folder HAS to be from a Herald UNLESS you ported it. If you didn't port it, then the values on slot 1 and slot 2 will be wrong.
I followed your guide to take the SYS from the Kaiser's rom. Here's what I did. I run buildOS.exe, then I run G'reloc, then I run createROM.bat. Did I do it right?

Which guide? My guide? You run G'Reloc first and THEN buildOS, or else you're building the OS BEFORE fixing the files that you need to BUILD the OS.
The sequence part, I guess on my own. I meant I follow your guide on porting the SYS and XIP on lesson 4 and 5. I did not even try G'Reloc in the first place because I did not know I have to do it. Btw, thank again man, you're such a big help to me.
The reason why the guide was failing and I hadn't mentioned G'Reloc in the walkthrough is because the walkthrough was made for Bepe's Extended Kitchen. No problem with the help. I remember when I was learning, no one answered, so I figured I'd give something back.
working with OEM
Hey Ivan,
thank to your help, I was be able to cook some roms with the newer SYS and XIP build. During the process, just to learn how to port SYS and XIP, I borrowed your OEM folder (I copied the whole OEM folder form your JustMine kitchen). Now I learned how to port SYS and XIP and get them working, I want to play with my own OEM. Otherwise, I would not be cooking if I copied your OEM. Here what I did:
1) Since I can't find any base OEM folder for herald or wing here, I used hypercore to extract the OEM from the official stock Wing stock rom.
2) I copied the whole OEM without deleting junks (because it failed when I deleted stuffs before. So I want to ensure that I got the OEm working before start deleting stuffs) to bepe kitchen
3) build the rom
Here's what happen:
When i used the stock OEM, my wing can boot into WM, but it skip the screen align, setting timezone and setting password section. AFter that, it say my pout.exe (or something like that) and repllog.exe is currupted. The green light indicating the radio is blinking, but the radio doesn't pick up anytihing, said no service.
If I replace your OEM, everything works fine. So I test my OEM by building it with the stock SYS and XIP, it also works fine. Did I missed anything? Thanks for all your help, man.

This is great news, we have a new herald cook on the way.
I'm very glad to see this since I will be not be cooking any more after my current release is done.
Keep it up bro,

Dude Ivan, you are awsome. I sucessfully created a ROM using my ported SYS, XIP and my own OEM. Again, thank you very much for guiding me through the whole process. I am thinking release it as a lite rom so everyone here can enjoy the newest build if they wish to. Before I can do it, I want to do some tweaks to it. So can you so me how to cook registry entries into the ROM? Thanks

You've got two options. RGU's and PROVXML's. You're better off setting up a package with an RGU that has all your registry keys. RGU's are nothing more than reg files. ^_^ And I'm glad it worked.
Say I downloaded "frauhottelmann"'s GUI kitchen and I grabbed the original, unmodified S740 SYS and OEM folders from a thread here.
What would I need to replace in order to build a ROM that will bootup on an Excalibur ? I have the "dump" of the original 6.1 ROM from the Excalibur. Some drivers maybe ? Any help ? Thanks
Oh, so you got it already. You should start with the OEM folder of the Excalibur. Then you might have to add some of the *.cpl.xml from OEMMISC to get all settings to work. The new packages are a bit trickier to use. You need more files from the new OEM. And don't use the new Connection Setup, it doesn't work. You should be able to use the whole SYS folder though.
This is going to be difficult then. The only kitchen that exists for the Excalibur, dumps the contents of the ROM in one folder and doesn't seperate the foldes out to OEM, SYS, etc...
So is the SYS folder where all the drivers are then ?
No. There are two main folder. SYS is for the general Windows Mobile OS part. OEM is what the manufacturer or you add. The folder for drivers is on OEM and is called OEMDrivers. If you have a dump, you can make "packages" with PKGTools. There is no official 6.1 ROM right? So I guess this will be a problem, because then it doesn't sort the packages right. You'll have to try. Maybe send me a screen shot of the files or the result!
Well the original 6.1 ROM for the Excalibur (the ONLY one) was made by this guy Kavana. I'm pretty sure it was based on the files from the MS emulator and drivers from the OEM WM6. IS PkgTools included in your kitchen ? Should I try to dissassemble the ROM with your kitchen ?
yes pkgtools included.
give it a try and post if it worked!
good luck mate... i saw your prog for the weather! really nice!!
htc sliding plugin also rocks! anyway keep it up!
Well I managed to make an excalibur ROM that works (partially) with the VOX GUI kitchen, and replacing the OEMDrivers with the drivers from my official WM6 ROM. Problem is, the center button on the keypad doesn't work. Everything else is fine... although WI-FI and BT don't turn on. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ? Oh and the startup screen is all skewed and in 4 pieces, right after the splash screen, bu before the usual winmo 6.1 splash screen.
Well I'm over that road bump now, and I'm trying to port the S740 XIP and SYS over to take advantage of the new CHOME
So far, so good...
Thanks guys for the support. I was able to make a new ROM based on the 20279 core from the S740 ALL by myself. Reading these forums for a few days is what did the trick... heh. THe ROM runs great and I have to say that BuildOS+package tools is my best ROM cooking friend right now...

There is no rgu file in the rom you dumped.
and the one is not official 6.1.
You can dump the
moto q8 WM6.1 rom
s740 official rom
C810 official rom for your resource.
I know.. that was my original problem. No worries though, as I used the SYS folder from the S740 and all is well now
