WM6 kitchen release v3

Hi all,
Last days I was working hard to improve the kitchen, finally I think it's ready. This is release ver.3, first two releases can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307037
I added some tools, used a new rom as base, well... it's all written down here.
Here you go V3!
http://vidmes.com/Uni/Kitchens/DEV_UNI_Laurentius26_WM6_Kitchen_ver.3.rar
I'm adding some OEM's to improve the ROM you are cooking.
You can find them here:
http://vidmes.com/Uni/Kitchens/Laurentius26/
-HTCHomeplug.
-Bluetooth OBEX enabled.
-Wifi 802 b/g support.
-VOIP.
-HTC TaskManager.
Unpack in c:\dev_uni\OEM\
Cheers,
Leo
Rom details:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional:
CE OS: 5.2.1413
Build: 17913.0.3.0
SP: AKU 0.3
Status: Beta version
So finally let's start building.
"Warning: Before you start building unhide hidden files on your desktop!"
Extract the kitchen to "C:\DEV_UNI\"
Run BuildOS.exe ( temp dir will be created. )
Run CreateOS.bat or CreateOS inc. Radio 1.15.bat
after finish building HTC64_Extended_ROM tool will start.
Select Encode:
Browse to C:\Dev_Uni\Temp\nk.prj
Klick next and Select:
-Extended ROM file: C:\DEV_UNI\temp\nk.nbf
-FAT16 file: C:\DEV_UNI\temp\nk.nba
-Operator name: ‘Your operator’.
Klick Encode.
It will give an error saying: FAT16 is to large. Continue at your own risk?
Ignor and Klick OK.
-It says: Encode successful!
Klick OK.
Exit the HTC64 Extended ROM tool.
Device update utility will start.
Put your device in bootloader (Push: ‘Power, Backlight, Softreset’ at once) and connect to your pc!
Run the update!
After updating your device you will have my ROM Build 1 based on Lt.Cmdr.Ivan v3.
Modification’s:
-Backlight button added.
-Wifi G mode added.
Added the following OEM’s:
-PocketXpdf.
-SMS Backup.
-Startclean.
Fixed Midlet Manager (now it works with opera mini)
Removed the following apps:
-Voice Command.
-voIP
-HTCHome.
-Taskmanager.
I added some tools to the kitchen to make work more easy!
Dev_Uni, REGEDIT:
-defaulthv.bat (batchfile to edit default.hv)
-userhv.bat (batchfile to edit user.hv)
"When the command window opens it tells you exactly what to do, read carefully please!"
"default\user.hv are the registry hives of your OS, be careful with what you do, don’t blame me if something goes wrong!"
<<<<< THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU EDIT! >>>>>
Dev_Uni, Documentation:
Added some links to webpages about rom building.
Dev_Uni, Extra’s:
-Cab Analyzer (For studying and extracting cabs, this is necessary for building a OEM)
-Hex Editor (For editing Hexadecimal, didn’t find it yet but you can change pagefile with it).
Dev_Uni, Backup:
Here I place a backup of the following files before I start editing!
-default.hv
-user.hv
-initflashfiles.dat (this file can be found in C:\Dev_UNI\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409),
you need to modify this file when building OEM’s, it places the files in the write directory’s.
Also *.rgu files can be placed here before you edit, so if something goes wrong….
<<<<<YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME!>>>>>
Remember, I’m still working on the kitchen.
I’m not one of the great rom designer’s yet , but every day I’m learning.
Enjoy building your own WM6.
Many thanks to:
- Bepe
- Helmi_c
- Mamaich
- Midget_1990
- Lt.Cmdr.Ivan
- GerardNL (for the WIKI)
- Leies (for helping with batchfile’s)
- Naboleao (same)
- Grayme (cheers my friend!)
- TehPenguin (If he would like to host again offcourse )

Thats good Going Leo. Looks like this forum has converted you into a developer.
P.S. dont forget to have the wifi sorted out once you post your rom.

Thanks,
I added B and G Mode support, but didn't test it yet.
Now I'm building kitchen and rom. Flashing, flashing, testing, haha..
VoIP you will have later, I wanted to release the kitchen and that's a lot of work.

can you just post a synopsis as to what are the additions you have added, removed, memory etc.
I know you indicated few in your initial post but just for the sake b4 users shower you with questions
will wait for a link.

Yes, I'm also looking forward to your kitchen. I've been using the one from Ranju and quite happy with it, but like to see what you've made of it.

Thank you!

I have a problem when i reach the section in the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool, i open the Project file OK, then i save the Extended ROM File in the same Temp folder where the other files are, but when i open the FAT16 file (*.fat) there are no images to open, but if i click on the (ALL Files) in the drop down menu, then it shows the nk.nba file. and if i click on the nf.nba file it pops up and says (Unable To encode FAT16 image).
so could you please advise me on what i am doing wrong.

How to Cook a Rom

Okay after reading through a few threads on XDA I thought I might take a stab at writing a Simple tutorial of the knowledge I know of cooking a rom
Step 1: Download a kitchen of your choice I think the Kitchens from Matt are the best to use only my recommendion
Step 2: Download the OEM packages you'll need..Leave them in a different folder then the Kitchen right now..
Step 3: Make a OEM folder in the kitchen folder if theres not one already and place it in the kitchen folder
Step 4: Take the OEM packages from the desktop and drag the ones needed for your rom
Step 5: Click Build OS check the files your going to have in your ROM to be built..if it errors look at where it errored and check the OEM package to see if it meets the standered below
Step 6: Now add any thing you need to edit in the dump or replace files (EX: Welcome Screen, themes, initflashfiles.dat file ect)
Step 7: Now run the CreateROM.bat once finished you'll have a new file in the temp folder
Step 8: In the kitchen there will be a nb2nbf_wizard.exe if not search the forums..open that model ID will say Wizard.. change the language to WWE then on the bottom you'll see empty fields..those are self explanatory pick OS for the ROM then locate the file in the TEMP folder of the Kitchen
Step 9: Now once its finished translating where ever the output direction was it will be your file to flash, now move that to the RUU and flash and say Hello to your own Cooked rom
PS Steps will varies from Kitchen to kitchen but this covers the jist of basic ones
nows for the complex parts how to make an OEM package...Information from double_ofour
Step 1: Vist http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen the Create UUIDs of another type should be set to Version 4: random then a code like this "6bfb7458-6a83-450a-9da5-b5feabba8335" will be made
Step 2: make the code the name of the 2 text files you have in the OEM package folder, Change one Text file extension to RGU and the other DSM
Step 3: now the RGU is where the Reg hacks are the first line MUST be REGEDIT4 then you list your Reg hacks.. in the formate like this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\MASD]
"TaskManager"="1_5_29968_1"
Step 4: Leave a space after the last reg hack and save as UNICODE
Step 5: add any files to the OEM package Folder they will be put in the /Windows directory
to make an extension into the programs folder you should edit the initflashfiles.dat
How to edit the initflashfiles- Should be done between useing the Build OS and Create Rom
Step 1: open the file with note pad
Step 2: remove any lines that aren't needed..sometimes you'll see likes to create a folder for a shortcut when your not using the program
Step 3: add a line to create a shortcut for a program from your own OEM package...Most packages here already do it for you
sigh I'm tired of typing but theres a basic out line of what cooking a rom consists of..feel free to add anything I might of missed
Just thought I'd help out anyone looking to cook a rom and needs a little guide
Please don't ask for help here..I'm not text support..I think there shoul dbe one thread for all cooking questions..you guys could even use the thread when i asked for help
PS again thanks to all the people here at XDA that made cooking simple easy even ifs making a OEM pack or a fix or even a kitchen thank you all

thanks ANTC!!!

thanks dude! can we have pictures too? (what the heck - had to ask )

thanks this is EXACTLY what I was looking for

sigh..sure once i can release my full touch rom using your kitchen

so no deal matt...lol not like you need a tut how to make a rom...maybe you could help with the cam issue to for my rom

everytime I click buildos.exe I get an error. No matter what folder I try it in, it just wont work.

How do I dump an official rom?

maybe some one can help you with the dump question its hard for me to put into words since core does it by it self
and th build os problem is something to take up with the maker of ur kitchen try doing a windows update you may need sp2 or net framework

I suggest making this thread sticky, removing all unnecessary posts, including this one and transform it into an How To thread. Where everybody can post tutorials on different aspects of rom cooking.

Same you do with an unofficial one lol The difference is that you won't find any missing files and that means less work for you.

It won't dump using your kitchen... Try the last oficial RUU Prodigy of WM5 and you'll see that it seems to be protected, since it can't extract the 8004000 :s

what can i do if i want to add programs like TNT, i have few apps compared to mfrazz's build or TNT and now if i add 1 more program in my kitchen it crashes the buildimgfs.exe, anything i can do to add more? i am using faria's kitchen tool

Try using Core kitchen that should do the trick

hopefully as a newbie I can make my own rom with this
and please do help me if i encounter any problems
thanks in advance

Personally, I would suggest doing a topic like this in the Wiki. Then have a topic here that is stickied to point to the Wiki entry.
Here's a page I started for the Faria Kitchen last May. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FPRK_Cooking_Instructions
You could take what ANTC posted and merge with the info I provided and come up with a nice generic page for cooking )most of the kitchens work the same since they all use basically the same set of tools).
Here's a page on making OEM packages that da_jojo added on:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FPRK_Creating_ROM_Packages
BTW: If you do the instructions in the Wiki then any / all of us can help maintain it (where posts here can only be maintained by the original poster).

i think this is good for those who already know how to cook, but too brief for beginners who know little about cooking a rom.

My problem when building the rom is when it is finished this error comes up
"c:\DocumentsandSetting\M541378\ApplicationData\hIqInc\PPC-BuildOS\9.05.3.0Temp\ROM\XIP"
so in my ROM folder there is no XIP, I create the folder, and I re-create, it and then the XIP folder erases. I have no idea why this happens? Can anyone please help....

Updating rom image USING FARSTONE DRIVE CLONE
Hi all i'm new at the forum, i would like to know if i can create an image with farstone drive clone of all the programs i have and configurations and then upload it to the phone?? I would like that even if i have to perform a hard-reset on the device it would still have all the progs and configurations created on the image uploaded.
Any suggestions are welcomed!!!!!

hi, I am a newbbiess... i am totally not understand what do u mean by kitchen... but i am intrested in generate a ROM myself.. please advice..

ROM Kitchen Features ?

I Am Currently In The Process Of Developing A ROM Kitchen For The Universal.
My Work So Far Is Going Good.
The Purpose Of This Thread Is To Gather Information On What Users/Developers Want In A Kitchen.
The Kitchen Is A Windows GUI That Controls The Usual Tools. (Not Batch Scripted And Could Be Ran From Removable Storage)
It Should Work On Any Version Of Windows Without Complications.
I Am Trying To Make This GUI Easy To Use So That A Complete N00B (Or Trained Monkey) Could Use It,
But It Also Includes Complete Control Over The Entire Cooking Process Which Gives Experienced Developers/Cookers More Control Without All The Command Line Workings.
Please Feel Free To Post Your Ideas/Requirements And I Will Try To Include It Into The Kitchen.
PS. This Kitchen Is For The Universal Only.
Regards,
OllieD

Would certainly like it to be able to create flash drive on Universal - I have found this a very useful feature in Tomal's ROMs.

Hi,
I started a GUI based Kitchen a while back, almost completed too, but abandoned due to time.
What language are you writing it in, and what tools are you basing it on (HyperCore or Mamaich/Helmi/Ivan tools)
I'll post some picks of my GUI (If I can find it again)
Would also be useful to have it portable for other devices, doesn't require that much extra code to do it.
I'll see if I can dig out my design docs too to assist you with functionality/features.
Cheers,
Beasty

Thanks Beasty.
Its Coded In VB.Net So Any Windows With .Net Should Run It.
I Appreciate The Idea Of Opening The Kitchen To Other Devices.
The Problem Is This Kitchen Is Already Quite Customised For The Universal.
It Relies On Alot Of Other Tools But The Idea Is To Fully Automate Everything I Can. (The Less User Interaction Required For N00Bs The Easier They Will Find It To Use.)
In Its Current State It Can...
Decode An NBF File To An NBA And Split The Header.
Extract The IMGFS Partition To A File
Dump The Contents Of The IMGFS Partition
Sort The Dump Folder Into Packages ( Just About To Code This One)
Planned Universal Specific Features Include...
Automatic Injection Of Flash Disk.
Splash Screen Replacement ( Need To Figure Out How To Convert BMP/JPG/GIF To RSB )
Regards,
OllieD

Although I don't have a Uni, this seems a great idea, and if I have the time I'm going to do something similar for the Prophet...
One question though, with your splash screen conversion, can the image be in the *.nb format and then converted to *.nbf along with the OS? If so, pof has a tool! http://pof.eslack.org/blog/
For me, one of the most important features would be some way of having XIP porting (like ivanmmj's EasyPortOven).

Pof's Tool Does Generate The Required Output If Ran With The Correct Parameters.
So The Current Feature List Of The Kitchen At The Current State Is...
Decode An NBF File To An NBA And Split The Header.
Extract The IMGFS Partition To A File
Dump The Contents Of The IMGFS Partition
Sort The Dump Folder Into Packages
Extract XIP Contents
Create Compatible Splash Images.
I Think Thats About It For The Extraction Side Of Things.
Now To Code The Build Process.

OllieD

Great to hear
How about a quick way to edit the ROM name / version & date
Similarly for setting pagepool.
I think including HEXEDITOR inside will help in case the above 2 are not possible.
It's great to see "Oli-n-Family" together over here

That sounds useful!
Now, probably a slightly cheeky question, but is there anyway this could be modified to suite the Prophet, or alternatively, some form of code released to allow for alterations?
Oh, and BTW I'm called Oli as well! Time for some epic confusion!

Hi Ollie,
great idea, and I really hope you get it working. It'll be a godsend!
Some things I'd like to see for the edit/build phase:
1) A UUID generator.
2) A DSM builder like BuildDSM, but able to rebuild ALL DSMs within a given 'tree'. I use a CMD script to do this, but it's a bit of a pain having to hit 'enter' after every package!
3) A .provxml editor (for Diamond packages & any others that use Autoshortcut).
Thanks and good luck!

The buildDSM could be automated relatively easily in C#, and I've seen a UUID generator demonstrated on MSDN.
For ProvXML editing, notepad can do it, so that shouldn't be too hard I think...
I might make myself a DSM builder program, and I can post the code if so desired...
One thing that I made my self and that helps for ROMs with lots of OEM packs is a tool that goes through the OEM folder, and adds the name of each pack to a text file so you can easily list all the packs/programs. I can post that code too if wanted!
Still, all of these tools in one program would be awesome!

Just wondering...
...how this is progressing?
I'm sure I'm not the only one that would love to see this out & working!

[20931 SYS/ XIP Ported]Improved PackageTools and BuildOS now for Wizard [29/11/2008]

I have been using many kitchens over the past year. Cooking horrible roms, decent ones and now a pretty good one. My problem was always the various tools lying all over my hard drive. Luckily I came across this litte gem by Ervius
Package Tools and BuildOS rolled into one. I also noticed that it handles rgu files much better than the previous BuildOS, it choked on an incorrect rgu file. Which in turn allowed me to get Video working in HTC Album 2
I have modified the batch files for our Wizards and have been cooking and im loving it
PackageTools+BuildOS (Latest combined version)
rgu-2-xml : Convert .rgu to provxml files
SYSVersion : Generates a version list of your SYS Folder
All the usual build tools :G'Reloc, M'Reloc, ImgFS Tools
AllPackagesToOne - Protect your rom from being ripped apart and the whole world being able to share in your utter cooking brilliance, via a tickbox ofcourse
Automatic Find and Fix duplicate file errors during BuildOS process
More features which I am either too lazy to list or dont use at all
Just add SYS,ROM and OEM folders. It also have a nice feature which allows you to select OEM Packages and save it as a preconfigured rom. Extra OEM packages can be placed in a Packages folder. BuildOS will load those files also (No more OEM's all over your hard drive).
BuildOS also runs G'Reloc during the dump process, but for good measure I also included it in the batch file.
Also added -conservative to the Imgfs Tools portion of the script to protect against overcook
BuildOS generates pretty log files which shows where stuff went wrong
Extract the zip file. Run Kitchen.exe and watch the magic at work.
Note
For some reason the output window text is black on a black background, but at the top is a nice running status. If not sure just hilight the output window.
If you start up and It complains about folders just create them
Download
Ported 20931 SYS/XIP without PIE 6 download
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) is need to be installed in your PC

Hi,
Nice kitchen.
But its little bit difficult compare to hypecore.
Thanks for great kitchen.

Nice release ..i think im gonna start cooking too

Does it also have my favourite tool "Alpackagestoone" to remove and merge DSM and RGU files from Rom?

It does, in the prettiest little tick box you have ever seen, just below the Output Window. One of the really cool features of this version of BuildOS is the ability to scan for and fix duplicate files

sounds really impressive! downloading...
I'll recook my rom with it and let you know how it went

where should I extract this kitchen?
Error: pkgdll is missing
Never mind. copied it to the same folder as the kitchen.exe

What OS are you running on your pc ? .net 2.0 and higher really like XP Sp2. Do a google search for CCleaner and "Uninstall Utility" this might help before you format dude.

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

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

thank god u placed this tut, i thought i was the only one with theis prob oO

Dude I battled to get the whole thing running as the tut's where for Kaiser and the tools were abandoned by the looks of it. But once i started using the cool right click and import package features I was sold.

Sorry. double post.

->ROM (OS.nb XIP,romhdr.bin lives here)
That may be what I am missing. how do I extract that?
I Have OS.nb; XIP.bin XIPfolder

@S.V.I Here is the romhdr.bin : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=131286&d=1227164342
@cornelha i think u need a break lol you attached te file in the siff thread

->ROM (OS.nb XIP,romhdr.bin lives here)

Yeah I realised now that when I zipped up the Kitchen I left pkgcommon.dll in the Tools folder, this should be copied to the same folder as Kitchen.exe.
Your error however comes from me not stating the .net Framework 2.0 or highers is required. I take these for granted since I have Visual Studio installed on my machine anyway

[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.
