[REVISED] Autosculpt BETA 1.00 ROM Kitchen + Link Working!

UPDATE: I am posting a revised version of this kitchen because I noticed the version I uploaded had some nonworking buttons and I noticed lots of silly mistakes when I went back to the source code. I also have added a lot of exception handling. I also realized that by batch file doing the dumping had some errors.
Autosculpt 1.00 BETA REVISED
This is another ROM kitchen based off of bepe's PKGTool and BuildOS, uses Tadzio's improved IMGFS tools, and incorporates some simple Visual Basic code.
What you can do with this release:
Create a dump and make packages using PKGTool
Add/Remove packages
Create splashscreen, HTC Logo, and startup screen
Add splashscreen, HTC logo, and startup screen
Set all components of rom to one location for easy access to build (for lazy people like me who don't want to go searching)
(When this thing is finally released, G3 and G4 flashing support will be enabled)
Since the kitchen is still in its beta, I have disabled to option to flash the ROM to the device.
WARNING: I am not responsible for a bricked device if you choose to go ahead and flash the ROM to the device by starting up the RUU manually!
Last but not least, credit goes to bepe, maimach, tadzio, the-equinoxe for their tools that were used in this kitchen. Also, I thank Faria, mUn, mfrazzz, anichillus, Molski, and countless others who have directly/indirectly helped me understand about ROM cooking.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I never saw anyplace to download this in your first post. Just a description. I figured you were uploading and then forgot about this until you just replied...

oh sorry, I was hoping you would post a request in this thread. i just wanted to know who was going to try it. NEW LINK: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pm7az1
as of now, i know that only nothin and badbert have it. if anyone is trying it, please post in this thread.

Wondering if anyone was successful in building a ROM file using this kitchen if you've had the time.
Feedback of any type is appreciated!

Anyone?
Anyone have any type of feedback? I'm kinda banking on that before I make a final release. I understand though if you don't have the time to test this.

kernelguy

Sorry. I didn't know. Uploaded to sendspace. Link provided in previous post and and first post. Weird how lots of things I upload have problems with them!

Kitchen Updated!
Updated program and dump batch file located in first post. Most exceptions are now handled and buttons work properly. All batch files are now running in hidden mode.

Feedback please!
Any feedback? I'm not releasing this 'till I'm sure that it works for other people too.
Please, if you have time, give me some feedback on this program. I've also stopped my GUI aWizard project because I want to finish this one first.

Cooking my own basic rom

Hi All,
first of all, so sorry if that i am asking for has already been discussed in any other thread.
I had read a lot of posts last two weeks with the purpose of understanding how to cook my own rom. Then, I've tried some distinct kitchens as well and had some success dumping existing cooked rom and modifing them by removing or adding packages to my convenience, just for test and practice.
Now, there something I don't understand how to do it: Can I build a rom based on XIP and SYS? I mean, my idea is to build a basic rom w/o any kind of modification or addicional packages. Then I could be able to dumped it, add all packages I'd like... it's to say "to cook".
So is it possible to create a rom only from SYS and XIP files? I've found this fantastic collection but don't know how to exploid it.
Here there are fantasics cookers, I'm really impressed by the job they do cooking roms. I hope you could give me some help to become a good cooker.
Thanks IA

What you will need to do is strip the OEM folder of all the programs you don’t want, including registry settings.
You will need to keep the OEMDrivers folder intact, or the Phone simply won’t function.
However tedious this task may be, in the end you get what you want.

Here is what I do (or try to do)
I've got SYS folder and Xip.bin, in this case the OS 5.2.20755 ones.
First, I extract Xip.bin with the Xipport Tool (dump Xip.bin, make packages and copying manually files and modules to a ROM/XIP folder
Then I paste both SYS and ROM/XIP folders at their place in the HyperCore kitchen (the best kitchen i've tried at the moment)
Finally I launch build os function, and here is the error!!!! Can't find the file c\....\hypercore\build\temp\BaseApps\imageinfo.bin
What am I doing wrong?
Yeah, probably I don't really understand what I am doing, and maybe I am skipping steps.
Someone could help me understanding the complete process? Please!!!

Please, someone.
Even I have the same problem.

You shouldn't have removed the link (it is still in my reply if anyone wants it). I published my kitchen to be used/modified by everyone, but It you make it public, you should said what parts are your work and what parts are taken from someothers.

[Q] How to create a new Windows Mobile ROM?

Hi all!
I am a new man to develop ROM. Now I had been assigned a job to create a Windows Mobile ROM. But I know nothing about it. I have many questions:
1. What work cycle I should follow for this job?
2. I had ever compiled Windows CE 6.0. And I had NK.bin after compilation. Can I use this as a kernel in Windows Mobile?
3. What tools I should use to build ROM?
4. Suppose I had already create a ROM, hwo to depoly it into Mobile Phone?
I hope some expert with experience about this can help me, and told me how to do. Thank you very much!

First, we need to know which device the ROM is for. Each Windows Mobile ROM is device specific.
Then you need to decide which version of WM you want to include.
Also, there are several tools (called "kitchens" for cooking the ROM) available on these forums. OSKitchen and Ervius Visual Kitchen are the two that most people use.
And you need to have some kind of understanding of the ROM structure of a Windows Mobile ROM and which files are responsible for which part of the OS.

Thanks for your reply!
I had downloaded these two applications. Now I can use erviusKitchen to dump a ROM downloaded from HTC offical web-site. But I don't know how to change the DEVICE, Language and so on. All those are read only.
I hope the_scotsman can help me more.
Thx again!

[Q] what's the best tool for building rom?

Now days there are many tools that made easy to build custom roms.
1. Apktool
2.notepad ++
3. 7zip
4.Java
And many more stuffs needed to build a rom. But some problems still come up.
After building the rom many people faced and I also faced this problem. We need to make a flashable zip.
Ok. So now u have to make a meta inf folder then write the update scirpt. Ok that was easy . Then what with that update binary. How we are gonna make that. I am asking this questions to exprience developers. Cause thats what everybody face.
Then come with the deodex time. Many tools I found but I found one word error. So what will be best tool to deodex the rom?
Hope this questions will be answered. It may help starter level developers to work.
If u like this post don't forget to thanks.
