=============================================
Hi everybody,
This is, I guess, what MANY, I believe, is looking for.
A good clean stable and fast WM5 rom based on AKU3.5 that you can change easily to your liking... right?
Well, your wishes come true. Here you will find my new ROM, the tools, and procedure to modify it!!!
It does NOT include ANY personal info.
It include clean original splash screen theme
It includes lots of Today-plug-in that you can disable if you do not want (disabled by default).
Modifications involve, beside adding & removing files, changes of hklm.reg, hkcu.reg, default.hv, and system initflashfiles.dat files. The ROM has been optimized to the extremes, hence if you decided you want to modify it please make sure what ever you add MUST be less or equal to what ever you delete.
It took me continuous 10 days of work and 8 flashes to get this procedure and ROM right.
I have tested the room and it works perfect ... however, please forgive me if I have overlooked something.
Note: I suggest you test the rom BEFORE you install any extra programs of your own ... and then again AFTER installation... so you can determine the source of the problem or the violating program, if any.
If you want to automate the installation of additional programs, stick the cabs file in the ExtROM directory in the SD-card and edit the config.txt accordingly.
To use the modification tools, just drop your favourit NK.NPF file in the RomEditor directory and click on steps 1 to 7 and follow the prompt.
It could not be easier ... Well, is it??? You will soon find out!!!!!!!!!!
Final word of thanks to tjlabais for his detailed tutorial, scripts and support. Many thanks to Mamaich for his incredible tools, as well as to Helmi_c, Buzz_lighter, Tofclock, and all those who contributed indirectly or in the past to get WM5 working on our Himalaya.

Edit1: Guys, please note I did not invent the wheel here!!! I only picked already existing work and put it into organized specific working method with example (my rom). So please no nag where did I get this or that from. What I am giving you here is next to perfect ROM that you CAN edit to suit your own taste.
Edit2: This method is NOT for new users - noob. It is NOT like the kitchen method. Also, question about the tools should be posted in the original thread by tjlabais.

Question started
Dear llbasha
Please explain more:
In the text file "llbasha-WM5-AKU35pp16a1.txt
5. If you want to change the image/rom version (show on first splash screen bottom right corner), Go to address: 19, 82CDF, 1C1C18
search for old version and replace it with exact number of digits.
6. If you want to change the rom version and date that show when accessing device information from settings, search for the version in unicode, and the date stamp in ANSI.
7- Save your file and run 6ReassembleNPF.bat
[Correction is 7ReassembleNPF.bat]
And
In step no. 2
"When done, remove all HIDDEN attributes for ALL files.
Note: use Registery Workshop as editor for HKLM & HKCU even if nothing changed (not all rom modifications would require registery editing), i.e. open the file and save again irrespective)."
Please explain?

This is clean ROM ... what are you taking about??? Please be specific... What is 100% clean???????????
There was some remaining space in the rom so I filled it with some VERY small today plugin and utilities and are disabled by default. So where is the problem. This remaing space you can't use it anyway once you cocked the rom.
Any I included the tools and steps to remove/add to your liking... So....

PLEASE HELP. Rom building question.

I am using the hypercore kitchen and using its right's TNT.1437 TouchFlo as a base for building off of for my own Rom and I want to replace the standard SMS application with the WM6 Threaded SMS app in Rom instead of having to install a cab file every time I hard-reset.
Basically I want the standard SMS application gone, and the new Threaded SMS app in Rom. I want it to be just like a cab installation but without an actual installation.
Below attached is a zip file for "WM6 SMS Files"
Please someone help me out on this one.

Does nobody know how to do this?

I didn't download the zip file, but if there's a cab in there, just follow the directions in Sambartle's tutorial under the packaging section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=44308&d=1184780703
I just used these directions today and it works great.
Alternatively, you can also add the cab to the ext ROM. There is a file you add the filename of your cab into and when the customization process starts, it'll auto-install your cab. I haven't yet figured out how to set up an ext ROM so I can't help with that part.

The link doesnt work but its right is helping me with this already. Thanks though.

You would add it to the extended rom.......
How to do this...I'm still...learning myself

There's a tutorial on XDA Ftp made by faria on how to edit the extended rom.
Basically you open the Extended Rom with WinImage, edit the config.txt and update the cabs you want in it.
Pretty easy thing to do.
P.S. You can also find an empty extended rom on the ftp. You can add autorun.exe and config.txt with the cabs you want.

Extract pure OS from cooked ROM

Hi all,
Perhaps it is a newbie question so please bear with me.
I have an i-mate K-Jam flashed with TNT rom (build 20273). It works perfect and nice, however (frankly speaking) I don't like or want some of the APPs installed with this ROM, but I can't uninstall them.
I've searched this forum to find a way to extract the OS (OS only) from TNT rom so that I can flash my wizard and then install all the APPs I want, with no luck. Perhaps my search skills are a little poor...
So would someone please explain if it is possible or not? and if yes, how?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

You cannot remove apps from a cooked rom. Search for Vanilla roms if you just want the base rom without any extras and then you can install you own apps.

well you can, but for that u'll have to dump the ROM first, remove the apps you dnt like and recook it

you can not dump the TNT roms. when you try, there are no RGU'S or DSM's.
You can dump my rom if you like, but you will get some missing files you will have to put back into the oem.
the missing files come from me not editing the rgu's when I cook.
try dumping Hornet5. for the most part you will get complete packages, but also some "missing files". just put them back into the oem/sys and recook.

Thanks for info. Saved me a lot of time.
I finally managed to cook my own rom. Everything works perfect except that:
1) I've used XIP, SYS and OEM files/folders of different builds. Am I going to have problem later?
2) "CommManager.exe" was missing. I've searched the files used in kitchen and the only thing I found is "commmanager.htm". Later I managed to download and install HTC CommManager but I can't assign in to its button (button 6). Is there any solution for that?
3) How may I extract the "splash screen" from one build, and upload it to my phone?
4) Bluetooth is not working. It says there is no bluetooth hardware on device. Also WLAN disconnects after a few seconds. How may I extract the drivers from original ROM and upload it?
I know the above questions are too much, but actually I'm so excited that my first attempt to cook a rom was successful (almost). I hope one of you experts be kind enough to help me solve the above issues and have a perfect phone.
Thanks in advance.

you will have some problems with the initflashfiles.dat in the oem, as well as the "oemtranslation.prvxml" or something which controls your icons for programs and control panel.
The best thing to do is use the same build OEM SYS & ROM folders.
If you dumped hornet 5, then your best bet ist to work with everything in it. I was working at this rom after Sleurhut for about a month or two.
mixing builds of those folders makes you start from scratch again fixing up your oem again.. and again.
as far as the missing files, try using the Xdump method; or use the searcher on your PC to find the missing files folder and the contents.

Dear S.V.I
Thank you so much for your ongoing support and help.
As I've mentioned before, I'm a total newbie trying to have a clean WM6.1 on Wizard. I've searched and read lots of tutorials here and there, but there are still lots of questions remained.
I tried to play with HyperCore (multi-device) today and I failed in the first step. I've extracted the "nk.nbf" from official i-mate KJam ROM using WinRAR. HyperCore is installed and I've a "C:\Core" folder as well as a "HyperCore" folder on my desktop.
The "DumpRom" is asking me to make sure the "nk.nbf" is in "HyperCore\Extract\Source" folder. Well it is there. Press Enter and the error message says: "There is no nk.nbf in Core\Extract\Source".
No it is not. First, it asked me to put it in "HyperCore\Extract\Source" not "Core\Extract\Source". Second, there is no "Extract" folder under "C:\Core". Even after creating Extract\Source under C:\Core and copying nk.nbf there, the same error message appears again.
So, what I'm missing here?

Same
I'm also scratching my head on this problem too. I've even tried creating extract\source folders in locations C:\core\ and desktop\hypercore\ but still no luck.
I'm wondering however that the issue could be caused by vista/7's change from Documents and Settings\user\desktop (2000, XP) to Users\user\desktop.
It may change the way the batch files are called but i'm really rusty on batch commands these days

I would start with the sticky "How to cook a ROM" thread, focusing on CRACING's kitchen, then move to Nekid Angel (Post #3)
where you will find a more updated ROM ready to cook. If you want to try WM6.5 a good ROM and kitchen is at [WM Kitchen] Wizard Kitchen or CRACING's RC6. I have been playing around with that.
You might move your discussion to one of the cooking or kitchen threads mentioned above, too, since that is where others will look.

Perfect
That's what i was looking for thanks for the heads up N2rjt!

How to combine CAB

Is there a program to combine many cab files into one CAB?
I flash many ROMS and would like to make one cab of all the programs that I usually install after a hard reset. (I've tried sashimi, but I need it to be in one cab)
I searched about it, but couldn't find an answer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

To ather90:
I apologize for posting in the wrong forum.
To nir36:
Thanks for your help, but I was wondering about a program that will create a cab from many cabs, not UC.

Its ok, but becareful next time
there isent a way to install several cabs in a single install, though what you can do is to make a new cab file with all your data in it, but it will make a VERY big Cab ;D

no no.. what i meant is, use UC to create an installation of all your cab files. you can't combine a lot of cabs into 1 cab because it's not readable.

We'll be more careful next time.
That's exactly what I wanted, to make one big cab.
The same idea as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464758&highlight=game+pack

Its not free, but look at http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr
edit: It might be possible to extract the data from the cabs you have, and recombine them into one big cab file.

i use WinCECabManager to create cab files.. but you can't create full installations of many cab files in the same cab.

ROM Image Editor

I have got the ROM Image Editor. I edit the nbh file of the ROM. I need to know how to add my cab files to the ROM so it gets installed automatically as I flash the ROM. This will help get things up running promptly with each new ROM I install.
Anyone can help ?

SASHIMI check my ROM thread for download if can't find....

already use Sashimi
I already have Sashimi 8.0 & I use it. But I see building the cabs within a new ROM in way that gets them all installed as I flash the ROM, would be great & fast.
I have the ROM Image Editor but I just don't know where to add the cabs within the ROM folders to reach the target.

Is there anyone who can help on this ?

Cooking
You're going to have to cook them into your ROM, which won't be in the form of .cab's any more. They'll be in EXT. And everytime you change roms, you'll have to extract whichever rom you dl, and recook it with the programs you want in there. SASHIMI is probably your best bet unless you feel like spending a lot of time on each and every ROM just so that when you flash it the programs are already in there.
Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm off base here, but it's probably not worth it for speed and ease issues.
Happy Flashing!

What ROM editor are you using? Perhaps htcRIE_0.5.0.12 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377514 ?
If that´s the one you are using I don´t think is capable to do what you want, as drumboy said: Cooking is the way

Yes it is htcRIE_0.5.0.12. Do you know how to install the cabs in a ROM ?
Usually after a ROM is installed & during customization, some cabs appear in folder Volatile & are then installed. Can I place my cabs along those ?

Ok if you want to install it after flash, then you can do it a few different ways, like UC, XDA_UC or tom's autoinstall. But for all those you need to cook them in the ROM.
If you dont have it cooked in, then shashmi or programs similar to those will help.
You cant edit a ROM using htcRIE, in the sense add cabs and stuff, and recompile it to make it bootable in my opinion.
You can play with it and see! If the ROM is using runCC, then you need to add cabs, and mofify config_operator.txt file to add those cabs to execute in first boot.
Hope this helps.
