Wideawake's Custom AKU2.2

First I should warn that PPCGeeks.com nor me will not be held responsible if something were to go wrong. That being said its like any other update.....all you have to do is download the files from a link listed below. Extract them to the desktop open the the folder. Read the readme and run the .exe, same as the offical ones, BUT your PPC HAS TO BE IN BOOTLOADER MODE BEFORE running the .exe. (Hold power button, notes key, and soft reset) This ROM doesnt have to many "seen" differences, most changes have be made behind the scenes. I didnt remove the built-in voice dialer, because Im sure most dont use MSVC. Big thanks to isamu49 for his script to replace the bootscreen and providing me with all the carrier logos! Major thanks to XDA-Developers, and Buzzdev.net for the knowlege and tools used in the creation of this custom AKU 2.2! PLEASE HARD RESET AFTER YOU UPGRADE. I will be adding my extROM and full packages later today, just wanted to roll out the base OS for everyone.
Enjoy your new Custom AKU2.2!
Mike
Note: Upgrade CANNOT be done on a PC running Windows Vista, must be a XP machine.

===============================================
Some Hints:
- How to know that your packages is larger than what you have to load??
- if you see this msg, so you have to remove some packages:
- How to minmize SYS folder Size??
- there are many of useless packages located on SYS folder, try to see what you don't need and remove.
===============================================
How to port XIP from any new build:
- extract xip.bin from the build you want to port from.
- Download Bepe xip port
- extract xipport to any folder
- the folder should contain XIPPort.exe, pkgcommon.dll, and xip.bin you want to prot. (i will put xip.bin from different new builds)
- run XIPProt.exe
- press Dump xip.bin
- you will have OUT Folder
- press Make Pkgs
- now, open OUT folder, you will have Files and Modules.
- for each folder (Files and Modules) copy MSXIPKernel and MSXIPKernelLTK contents (Note: without .txt files) and paste them to /ROM/XIP folder and replace.
- now, if you cook, you will have the new build with real port.
===============================================
How to port SYS from any new build:
Just extract SYS folder from the new rom you want to use its SYS folder, and paste the new SYS to the kitchen (you have to see the suitable extracting kitchen from the device you want to get SYS folder from it, and also i will upload SYS folder from any new build to direct use)
===============================================
Which OEM Drivers and Apps can you use:
you can search for this yourself, and there are many of them, you can use boy_de_ghet from Here, or use double_ofour OEM which can be found here, also Faria thread contains good OEM (but maybe old). on these packages, you can use Drivers and apps with no problems for Wizard ( OEM_Lang_0409, OEMAPPS, OEMDrivers, OEMMISC, OEMOPERATORS, WinCENLS_WWE...)
from other devices, you can use OEM packages from mattk_r packages (without using the drivers located on that OEM Folder, because they are for Hermes only) the thread can be found here, also maybe they are a little bit old, but you should find something intersted. (you cannot use
OEM_Lang_0409, OEMAPPS, OEMDrivers, OEMMISC, OEMOPERATORS, WinCENLS_WWE.. which are for Hermes Device, just get the other packages)
===============================================
Some Packages should be located in OEM to make your rom bootable:
your OEM should contains: OEM_Lang_0409, OEMAPPS, OEMDrivers, OEMMISC, OEMOPERATORS, WinCENLS_WWE (maybe this will be in SYS) and SecurityOff. also, maybe LangDB and Default packages.
All mentioned above are suggestions (maybe experts know about that more than beginners)
===============================================
How to make new packages for your own:
you can learn that yourself by searching and learning, it is very simple but needs nice relax from you, i suggest to read Faria thread to learn how to create your own packages. another very useful thread by double_ofour can be found here

where is this??
point me and let me do it for you .

well done it's right, i am going to see if i can cook using your kitchen. I was completely clueless when it came to porting a "real" rom from one device from another so i can now see the light. This definately deserves to be a sticky!! thanks again

you will use it with no problem at all, and i'm sure you will increase your packages size (in case of dealing with 19209 SYS by removing the useless packages from it).
Good luck bro .

Nice Kitchen! I ported 19701 and it works greats! But now the SYS folder... The 19701 from PDAVIET is protected. Can someone provide it or knows how to extract it?

is it difficult?
about the protuction, no one can open it.
any rom will be cooked using the kitchen here can't be extracted, PDAVIET used the same tools included on this kitchen

Not difficult... I can share if someone is interested, but without SYS folder its 'useless'. So we have to wait when someone releases a kitchen

i don't prefer the builds that not provided by microsoft, many of builds are hacked like 19400 and yours, so i don't think you will find SYS folder simply.

Very well done wise man!
I'm going to start on my own and report the results later
Thanks a lot for sharing

no they are different
but after editing , thanks for that.

Itsright,
Got little confused...
During cooking process, only DUMP is created together with log.txt. That's all found inside temp folder. Shouldn't expect boot.rgu and nb file? I added my own stuff like OEM and SYS parts. no issues here.
XIP is also already in but didn't got your point related to OS.NB.PAyload.
What actually does it mean?
Maybe I should review something left behind...
I appreciate other comments too...

[KITCHEN][04/Jan/11]ELF(in) Kitchen(s)[ONLINE]

INTRO
I started trying to make a kitchen for our Elves based on bepe's Extended Kitchen and Elf(in) Hybrid Kitchen was "born".
Since then, bepe released his famous PlatformReBuilder(PRB) and I followed him, creating B2 Kitchen (page41 and on).
The Hybrid Kitchen is discontinued but I will keep it posted here for anyone who wants to play with it.
B2_Kitchen has started as an Elf(in) kitchen, but became a multidevice kitchen.
B2_Kitchen has started as a simple batch-file kitchen, but became a multifunctional kitchen.
At the end it is a GUI based on command-line tools just like some other visual kitchens.
The main applications are PlatformReBuilder and ImgfsTools.
So I don't actually feel that I made something new...
I take no credit!

B2 Kitchen
B2 Kitchen GUI (LATEST VERSION 2.0.0.0)
Supported Devices:
Elfin
Leo
Diamond
? (Testers Needed for other devices)
INSTALLATION:
Prerequisites:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (Windows Vista / Windows 7 have it pre-installed)
If you're using Windows Vista / Windows 7, make sure USER ACCESS CONTROL is turned OFF!
DO NOT change the structure of the kitchen!
If you don't want to use ImDisk Driver, you should get another 3rd party software able to create a RamDisk in order to use the relevant feature.
Installation:

Dump any source you want in almost any known format:
RUU_Device_HTC_Version_Signed_Ship.exe
RUU_Signed.nbh
Flash.dio
OS.nbf
OS.nb.payload
OS.nb
nk.fat
Imgfs.bin
xip.bin
Part01.raw and Part02.raw
Import a new device by dumping the device's OFFICIAL Rom RUU_Device_HTC_Version_Signed_Ship.exe.
The kitchen will even create a CustomRUU.exe AND a Task29.exe for the imported device.
Import any new leaked build just with one click.
When you dump a rom / import a new device the kitchen is able to:
Remove any empty packages if you select -EmptyPkgs.
Sort each registry file from your dump to make it more readable if you select SortRegistry.
Sort all Packages into the required style.
Sort all manila localization files by lcid.
Build your rom according to your taste:
Set which packages will be included from the "Packages Selection" area.
Set Rom version, language, ModelID and CountryID that are required for generating the final flashable *.nbh. The Rom date will always be automatically set to current date.
Select among various builds and lcids which one to use for building your Rom.
Select whether to use a real 6.5 nk (if your device has a 6.5 nk) or not in your generated Rom by selecting 6.5nk.
Select whether to use ShaDrac's driver - Extendir - or not by selecting Extendir, without messing up (adding/removing Extendir.dll - editing boot.rgu) your XIP each time.
Select whether to reduce/remove ULDR or not at your generated Rom by selecting -uldr.
Select whether to increase the Storage Memory of your Rom or not by selecting -imgstart.
Choose your Rom's PagePool Size (0-20).
Select compression (XPR-LZX-None) method for building your Rom.
Add Radio and Splashscreen to your final flashable *.nbh.
Set the kitchen to take care the "SLOT 0 overfloating" issue when building a 6.5 Rom while your nk.exe is not a real 6.5 nk.exe by selecting Rec.Mod SYS
If you have used the above option and have recmodded some modules inside SYS/Shared in order to fix the "SLOT 0 overfloating" issue when no real 6.5 nk.exe is available, but now you want to use the same Build (= the same SYS/Shared) for building a new Rom for a device that has a real 6.5 nk.exe you can reversmode the same files by selecting Rev.Mod SYS.
Set the kitchen to search and find any duplicate items in your compilation that would cause crashing issues to PRB before starting the real building process by selecting DuplicateCheck.
Each time you build a rom a log file is created which you can easily see by clicking the "Process" Label.
Search for files or file's content (i.e. Search for a certain registry entry among *.reg files) using the search engine of the kitchen.
Access fast and easy certain files that are commonly used inside a Rom.
You can see lists of *.txt, *.mscr , *.xml , *.provxml , *.cpr & *_manila inside your kitchen by simply clicking the relevant button.
If you click on any file you see in those lists you open it for editing.
Flash any ROM you selected from a list of your created Roms to your device.
You'll get the chance to perform task29 on your PDA - THEN manualy enter Bootloader and FINALLY update the ROM if you have that special CustomRUU inside the kitchen.
Use a RamDisk (ImDisk Driver comes with this kitchen) for the building and dumping processes in order to gain speed and decrease hard disk fragmentation.
Cfc manila files and convert any normal Manila_package to a compressed one just with one click.
Exploit the possibilities of MortScript even during building your Rom:
Forget about app.dat - app.mscr is introduced in this kitchen.
Don't cook in hundreds of files that get copied to various locations but at the same time stay in your "Windows" directory slowing down your device - Create just one archive (app.xdaz) which extracts the files to the correct locations during boot leaving in "Windows" directory only one file with an unknown extension.
Convert cabs--->EXT Packages just with one drag n' drop on a button.
Convert files<-->modules just with one drag n' drop on a button.
Convert rgu files<-->hives just with one drag n' drop on a button.
Convert provxml files<-->reg files just with one drag n' drop on a button.
Convert bmp<-->nb just with one drag n' drop on a button.

Double click on the package to open its folder
Right click on the package to:
Edit directly the package's app.reg.
Edit directly the package's app.dat.
Edit directly the package's app.mscr.
UPX one/all package's executable(s).

Optimize package's bmp(s).
Repack package's *.mui files.
Recmod one/all package's module(s).

Edit directly the boot.rgu of the selected build just by right clicking inside the "Build" box in the "Configuration" area.
If you want to edit directly the boot.rgu for the Extendir driver just right click the Extendir checkbox.
Read/Write directly the packages.cif and packages.sof of the selected build just by right clicking inside the "Build" box in the "Configuration" area.
Optimize XIP & SYS of the selected build just by right clicking inside the "build" box.
Build 3 different editions of your rom just by selecting an "Edition" (Premium, Basic, Lite) in the "Configuration" area.
This is optional, so if you leave "Edition" blank, then the "P" , "B" , "L" selection in the "Packages Selection" area doesn't matter!
Keep the kitchen accessible at all time. When you close the kitchen, it minimizes to tray from where you can access many functions and browse the kitchen's folders. By double clicking the tray icon you restore the kitchen's window.
If you want to really exit the kitchen while it is visible press F1!
Easily uninstall the kitchen from your system.
Easily save/load your project:
If you double click the "Save" icon then you'll save your current project (its name will be the Edition.build.locale.date&time of saving).
If you click the "Save" icon then you can select from a list of your projects which one to load.
Easily access all the tools that come with the kitchen. Even assign your own favorites to ALL the bottom buttons.
Check existing registry files for errors before building your Rom by right clicking the "Packages Selection" Label.
The time of this operation depends from the number of registry files, so you either give it enough time to finish if you have a lot of packages in your compilation or you click the Stop button to abort it.
Control your pda from inside the kitchen:
Restart your connected pda without even touching it.
Enter BootLoader.
Watch a list of processes currently running on your device.
View/edit/dump your device's registry.
********************************************************************************************************************
BASIC USAGE:
***Valid for any device - Just consider your device's name instead of the Elfin***
Packages Selection:
You can see all the SYS Packages from the BUILD & LOCALE you've chosen.
You can see all the EXT Packages you have in the kitchen's directories.
You can make sub-directories(limitation:up to 16!) to organize them better(i.e. EXT\Elfin\Tweaks , EXT\Elfin\TodayItems , EXT\Elfin\Apps , EXT\Elfin\Utilities , etc) and place your packages inside each sub-directory.
You can select which packages to include in your ROM by ticking the checkbox in front of the package's name. If you have it unticked then the package will be skipped.
If you double click inside the selection cell but not on the checkbox then you can select/deselect ALL packages.
You can see in the "Packages Selection" area that there are 3 columns "P" , "B" , "L" following the Package's name.
These will have an effect ONLY IF you select an Edition under "Configuration" area!
Code:
If you want "Package1" to be [COLOR="YellowGreen"]included[/COLOR]/[COLOR="Red"]excluded[/COLOR] in your [B]P[/B]remium edition then you must have the checkbox under "[B]P[/B]" [COLOR="YellowGreen"]ticked[/COLOR]/[COLOR="Red"]unticked[/COLOR].
If you want "Package1" to be [COLOR="YellowGreen"]included[/COLOR]/[COLOR="Red"]excluded[/COLOR] in your [B]B[/B]asic edition then you must have the checkbox under "[B]B[/B]" [COLOR="YellowGreen"]ticked[/COLOR]/[COLOR="Red"]unticked[/COLOR].
If you want "Package1" to be [COLOR="YellowGreen"]included[/COLOR]/[COLOR="Red"]excluded[/COLOR] in your [B]L[/B]ite edition then you must have the checkbox under "[B]L[/B]" [COLOR="YellowGreen"]ticked[/COLOR]/[COLOR="Red"]unticked[/COLOR].
There is also a ZIP Column. That Column is used to "mark" which EXT Packages you wish to convert to "Mscr_Packages" when you click "ExtToMscr" option.
Code:
If checkbox = unticked then nothing will change.
If checkbox = ticked then Selected Package will be converted to a Mscr Package (this is useful ONLY for applications that get installed to Program Files)
If checkbox = greyed then Selected Package will be converted to an Extendir Package (this is useful ONLY for applications that get installed to Windows and you're cooking Extendir in your Rom)
When you click the "ExtToMscr" the kitchen creates an archive (with the extension *.xdaz) from the Package's files and writes the necessary "app.mscr" (something like the equivalent of "app.dat").
For this it needs the "app.dat" inside the EXT Package so that it translates it to "app.mscr".
(This operation doesn't take place each time you hit the build button)
Your (original) EXT Packages will be copied to TOOLS\pkg\EXT.bak as a backup and only the (converted) Mscr Packages will be kept inside EXT[folder].
These new packages will be used ONLY IF you select "mscr" for ARType( = AutoRun Type) in the "Configuration" area.
Of course MortScript MUST be included in your Rom AND you must have the ARMS.mscr (script with #INSERTLINE switch) inside Autorun.mscr\Elfin folder.

Main Functions:
Obligatory routine:
Select device.
Select build.
Select locale.
Clicking the "Dump" button presupposes that you have placed a Rom file inside BaseROM folder.
When the process finishes you'll get a full dump of that Rom.
Drag n' drop a Rom file on this button works the same way!
Right Click on "Dump" button will show you two options:
Import New Device
meaning use another device's official rom to dump&prepare everything that is required by the kitchen to operate.
When everything is completed you'll be asked whether to auto move files or not!
Import New Build
meaning use any archive with the new leaked build to import the included SYS and XIP packages to the kitchen.
Next to the "Dump" button is 1 icon :

B2 Kitchen's Structure
This is the structure of the kitchen after importing a device and you shouldn't try to change it because you will have errors!
The build 23545 you'll see in the below pictures is an example in order to help you understand the kitchen's structure.​
Autorun.mscr is the folder where you can put your mortscript file that runs at first boot(named ARMS.mscr).
This mscr must include a line "#INSERTPOINT" !!! This line is required so that all "app.mscr" will be added at that exact point of your script!
The ARMS.mscr must be placed inside the subfolder named after your device.
BaseRom is the folder where you can put any rom you want to dump.
EXT is the folder where you store all your EXT Packages that you want to try in your ROM.
Here you can put any application,utility,todayitem,etc. and choose whether to include it or not, having in mind if it is or not essential for the windows to work!
Those Packages must be placed inside the subfolder named after your device.
OEM is the folder where you have OEMApps, OEMDrivers and other OEMFolders (Device Specific). Check out trueg's posts for more information about these folders.
Those OEMFolders must be placed inside the subfolder named after your device.
If you are cooking a rom in a different language than WWE, then create that subfolder.
For example if I want to cook a greek rom I'll create a subfolder 0408 along with 0409 and place my local.files in 0408.
If you are using the kitchen in OEM mode you can put inside the "Pkgs" subfolder your old-style packages (with *.dsm , *.rgu , etc.). You'll be able to choose whether to include or not each of those from the kitchen's packages selection!
RELEASE is the folder where your custom ROM (i.e.Yourdevice_ROM_Lang_0409_Build_21056.nbh) will be placed after cooking in order to flash it to your device using your CustomRUU.
You must have a subfolder named after your device under RELEASE and be careful with the names of the included *.exes (YourdeviceCustomRUU.exe & Task29\YourdeviceTask29.exe).
ROM is the folder where the XIP is placed.
If you enter this folder you'll see :
Like it is shown above, you must have all the XIP elements, except MSXIPKernel, inside the subfolder named after your device.
If your device has WinCENLS_Lang_0*** as part of XIP leave it there, otherwise an adviced location to store it is OEM\Yourdevice\0***\.
SYS is the folder where all the OS Packages (Not device Specific , but I'd say Screen Resolution Specific) are stored categorized by build number. Check out trueg's and Da_G's posts for more information about these Packages.
You must place those OS Packages inside the subfolders SHARED, dpi_96 , dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320 , etc. like it is shown below.
TOOLS is obviously the kitchen's "engine".
(Each time you build a rom you should find in there a log file from the building process which you can access by clicking on the Process label of the main application)
Inside CORE\Saved folder you must have a subfolder named after your device.
Inside CORE\Devices.list(file) you must have the settings for your device.
$DEV=YourDevice'sName
<1 for device that has only wm6.1kernel , 2 for device that has wm6.1kernel AND wm6.5kernel , 3 for device that has only wm6.5kernel>
KERNEL=3
dpi=192
resh=480
resv=800
ModelID=PB8110000
CID=11111111
chunksize=64
GSMHeaderType=0x301
<" -s" Switch if device's Splash.nb requires smartphone signature , leave blank if device's Splash.nb DOESN'T require smartphone signature>
SplashSwitch=
SplashHeaderType=0x600
<Size of device's Splash.nb>
SplashSize=786432
<" -t 0" for 0x00 or " -t 255" for 0xFF>
SplashPaddingType= -t 255
OSHeaderType=0x400
<hermes for Sectorsize=0x208 , kaiser for Sectorsize=0x808 , titan for Sectorsize=0x800 , leave blank for Sectorsize=0x200>
NBMerge=kaiser
<reduce for device that ULDR can ONLY be reduced , remove for device that ULDR can be totaly removed>
ULDR=reduce
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Inside Radios folder (see below) you can store any %radio%_0x30$.nb in order to use in your Rom:
You must place those Radios inside the subfolder named after your device.
You can find all Elf(in) Radios here.
Inside splash folder (see below) you can store any
%##splash%_0x60$.nb in order to use in your Rom.
%##splash%_0x60$.bmp is required for previewing!
You must place those Splashscreens inside the subfolder named after your device.
You can find more SplashScreens here or you could make your own with the kitchen tools.
B2_Kitchen_GUI is the GUI that combines all the command line tools. Screenshots here.

Elfin Hybrid Kitchen
ELF(in) Hybrid Kitchen (DISCONTINUED - NEWER KITCHEN @ 2nd POST)
INSTALLATION:
1. Install on your pc Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5!
2. Remove any previous version(if any)of the kitchen(shortcuts too) before "installing" the newer!
3. The archive should be extracted directly to the Drive where Windows are installed (most cases C:\) , otherwise nothing will work!
4. Once you do that, go into C:\ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen and double-click "First_Run_For_ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen.bat"!
5. IF you're using Windows Vista, make sure USER ACCESS CONTROL is turned OFF!
Download through: Mediafire
********************************************************************************************************************
DESCRIPTION:
(Be patient and keep your eyes on the DOS window for additional help&instructions while using this kitchen)
Main Functions:
[a] Dump any ROM from Kaiser, Polaris, Diamond, Xperia, Raphael, Elf(in)...
You may use these formats:
****.nbh (eg: RUU_Signed.nbh, Blue_Elves.nbh, etc) ,
****OS.nb (eg: New-OS.nb, 19588-OS.nb, etc) or ***windows.nb (eg:Mobile_windows.nb, New_windows.nb, etc) ,
****imgfs.bin (eg: imgfs.bin, new_imgfs.bin, etc) .
****.payload (eg: OS.nb.payload, 20270_OS.nb.payload, etc) . <- NOT FOR ELF(in) !
****.raw(only Part01.raw & Part02.raw) .
You get new OEM, SYS and xip.bin(unless you used *imgfs.bin) into C:\ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen\Extract_ROM\Temp .
If you used an ELF(in) ROM then you'll get a full dump, OEM, SYS and XIP, that you could move to C:\ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen\ELFIN_DEV_v2.1_Build_19XXX\ and use it as a cooking base .
[b] Port any XIP from Kaiser, Polaris, Diamond, Xperia... You need xip.bin .
It requires:
NOT to change Ref_XIP folder inside C:\ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen\Prepare_XIP and
If you have any problems in XIP Porting you have all the needed tools inside C:\ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen\Prepare_XIP to try manually port the xip .
[c] Build your OS.nb (using the Ervius PkgToolsBuildos which can autofix & autorelocate SYS) .
You'll get the option to make a dumpable ROM using PkgToolsBuildos (by keeping unticked the box next to "All packages in one:") .
NOTE1: Inside ..\Build_ROM the OEM , SYS and ROM\XIP folders are empty . You may "fill" them with the required files .
NOTE2: Because Ervius PkgToolsBuildos is included in the kitchen, you could always use the functions that it provides apart from those described here .
NOTE3: If your xip_out.bin or out.bin is smaller than 2,49MB you could use the attached os.nb.payload (where imgfs start @ 0x280000)
[d] Flash any ROM to your device .
If you have a CID Locked device you have the option to flash a ROM using SoftSPL & your device remains CID Locked with the same SPL !
Additional Functions:
[1] Convert any cab to an OEM Package using Ervius Package Creator .
[2] Create a cab using IABovine's QuickCab 2.0 .
[3] Convert a bitmap to a Splash.nb (& reverse) using pof's nbimg .
[4] Convert files to modules & reverse using RecMod and reversmode . Not all files can be converted to modules.
[5] Convert 24 bit .bmp to .brn and reverse (for editing Cube gfx) .
[6] Compress executable files using UPX 3.03 .
Panel:
Easy access for many tools .
BASIC USAGE:
(Check out ayyu3m's great [PICTORIAL] COOKING YOUR 6.1 ROMS USING ELF(in) HYBRID KITCHEN)
1. Lets say you want to use a SHIPPED or DUMPED (NOT a COOKED!) ELF(IN) ROM as a Base.
--1.1.Double click the desktop-shortcut "Main Menu"
--1.2.Press [a]
--1.3.A window pops up beside the DOS screen. Place in there the RUU_Signed.nbh and close the window!
--1.4.Press [1]
--1.5.When the process is completed (& pressing any key returns you to main menu), you get another window opened with the files you want:
Packages(OEM&SYS)
XIP(folder)
xip.bin
--1.6.Keep that window open and double click the desktop-shortcut "Kitchen"
--1.7.Copy OEM and SYS to C:\ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen\Build_ROM\
--1.8.Copy the XIP(folder) to C:\ELF(in)_Hybrid_Kitchen\Build_ROM\ROM\
2. The Base for cooking your ROM is set! Either clean up the OEM folder from things you wish to be removed or just (re)build the ROM.
--2.1.Double click the desktop-shortcut "Main Menu" (if you closed the main menu window)
--2.2.Press [c]
--2.3.PkgToolsBuildos starts
--2.4.Go to BuildOS Tab and click Load Rom.Select which Packages to include and press the green play button[Go]
--2.5.When this process is completed you'll have your OS.nb inside the "temp" folder and the (final product) RUU_Signed.nbh is generated in two places,
(i)..\CustomRUU\ <= For flashing CID Unlocked phones
&
(ii)..\RUU\ <= For flashing CID Locked phones using SoftSPL
NOTES:
A) Ref_XIP folder inside Prepare_XIP is the latest 3.10ROM's XIP, but modified as follows:
-removed modules:
cachefilt.dll, hd.dll, mencfilt.dll, osaxst0.dll
-removed files:
boot_ms.rgu, bmui.nb0
-edited files:
boot.hv, boot.rgu,
Code:
REMOVED ENTRIES:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Filters\CacheFilt]
"Dll"="CacheFilt.dll"
"Order"=dword:2
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Filters\CacheFilt]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\LSOMACORE]
"Index"=dword:00000001
"Prefix"="DRM"
"Dll"="lsomacore.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\LsFilter]
"Order"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="LSFILTER.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init]
"Launch98"="TimeWizard.exe"
-edited modules:
nk.exe
Code:
RTC is enabled
-ALL MSXIPKernel modules are relocated to achieve better XIPPorting
**If you include LockStreamDRM PACKAGE in your ROM and you use the Ref_XIP as your \ROM\XIP(folder), ADD the removed (from boot.rgu) entries
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\LSOMACORE]
"Index"=dword:00000001
"Prefix"="DRM"
"Dll"="lsomacore.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\LsFilter]
"Order"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="LSFILTER.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init]
"Launch98"="TimeWizard.exe"
in the PACKAGE's *.rgu.
B) Building your ROM
When you are building your ROM you need:
ROM\XIP(ALL FILES and MODULES) ,
ROM\romhdr.bin and
ROM\OS.nb.payload
This option builds the out.bin(buildxip.exe is used)from the XIP(folder).
C) PP Patching is included in the kitchen operation!
You just set your favorite pp size at the beginning(installing) and each Rom you build is already patched!
If you make the following hex change in nk.exe's S000
Aman said:
i've another method for u guys to change the PP. search the 03 15 A0 03 02 15 A0 13 00 10 83 E5 62 C2 FF EB in yours S000 of nk.exe and change the string marked in Red color to 00 00 A0 E1. from there onwards u can simply use the old Multi-platform PP changer.exe (that is also found in kaiser kitchen) to change ur PP on the OS.nb. this should make the kitchen even simpler
PS: this method works regardless of the device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then the kitchen's PP Patching doesn't work!
You should use the suggested by Aman Multi-platform PP changer v2.21 which is included in the kitchen's panel!
NOTE: I don't have an ELF to test, but after the above change then I think that the pp size is the same for both ELF&ELFIN(not dynamic).

Nice job Kokotas.

great job bro
i would like to test ur kitchen.

osKitchen (aka fe~ROM kitchen)
Hello ladies,
I’m too lazy to do many things manually so I build a new kitchen for us. I must thank to TPC for using his .bat (hardcoded into kitchen) and ervius for idea.
It is much simplier than Erviuse’s kitchen. I use external tools from TPC’s kitchen so if crashes any of these tools, it’s not my fault, I just cooked with it and flashed and it works fine if you don’t create crash fault manually. I’ve been writing this first release few hours and it has about 1000 lines of code lol.
Save & Load works as expected, saves everything (you shouldn't modify saved file by yourself).
If you don't know what something does in "More tweaks" menu, just don't touch it and leave it as was default!
What you need: patience and .NET Framework 3.5.

WORKS ONLY ON 1.0.x RELEASES ONLY AND 1.4.test TILL 1.4.test8! Watch 1.4.test8 version post for details about NEW tree structure.
Tree structure:
I wanted to have main kitchen root as clean as possible so I moved all things to Source directory.
- In Source directory, there is few folders. The ones starting with _ you don’t have to pay attention on them, or better, don’t touch them at all unless you know what you are doing!
- In folder EXT are four folders: Apps, Fixes, Settings and SYSpkgs. What’s the difference between them? Actually none. In all of them you put EXT packages as you’re used from TPC’s kitchen (app.dat, app.reg and files folder). The only difference is that they show themselves in different tabs in kitchen so you don’t mess different settings with applications etc.
- In folder MSXIPKernel always create numbered folder with XIP version, like 23009 and copy all folders and files from MSXIPKernel you get (busenum.dll etc).
- Into OEM you put your OEM folder with folders like OEM_Drivers
- ROM folder you don’t have to touch on it unless you know what you’re doing – it’s already preset by TPC’s kitchen.
- And into SYS you put, just like in MSXIPKernel folder, numbered folder with build # and inside you place all SYS packages (Base, ConfettiCore, etc)
In the main root are also folders Projects that you can save your projects into, Tools which contains all tools needed to cook so don’t touch it too. Folder „build“ should remove itself after finished cooking. If it doesn’t (like crash etc) you can delete it manually. In FLASH folder (that creates only after cooking) should be only CustomKaisRUU.exe and RUU_Signed.nbh, or you can delete it too – RUU is copied from Source directory and NBH is cooked.
There also might be some other folders, "working" directory is for extracting NBH file (you can delete it if is not kitchen running) or Kitchen folder (new since 1.0.7) - it contains support things to kitchen like tutorials, icons and other material. You shouldn't touch it too.
Examples:
EXT apps directory:
MSXIPKernel:
OEM folder:
SYS folder:

Questions & Answers:
Q: What’s the difference in Device between Kaiser and Tilt?
A: When selected Tilt, keyboard patch is automatically added.
Q: LZX or XPR?
A: LZX saves space, but takes longer to build.
Q: UPX on EXT?
A: Saves space by compressing all EXE files in EXT directory with UPX compression.
Q: SuperRAM?
A: Only switches between nk.exe’s with 79M/85M/101M (and automatically adds MEMFIX).
TIP: You don’t have to manually change always in OEM\OEMVERSION that one .provxml, if you fill it in kitchen it gets created automatically.

Thank you all, every dollar counts!

Looks like its inbetween ervius and bepe kitchen. Will give it a whirl. Thanks bud.
Edit...
Runs ok, I tried to change EXT folders name, and it didnt like it. I prefer to have my own folder names, so that I know what I have in them!
In vista, it keeps poping up should kitchen run imgfs files! It doesnt do that in ervius for joshs kitchen in vista. So I am thinking there is a security thing maybe!?
All in all, good work, I always love GUI stuff!

Yea I dont like that "**** Me" too! LOL

**** ME will be added as Option. (and more things I will add like AKU and such).
This kitchen doesn't want to be like Erviuse's one - I want to make this directly for Kaiser and integrate different predefined tweaks etc. Only get them together will take some time.

I love the GUI. So good work there.

nice work brother, will download and try it out, i did bookmark this thread so i hope that you will keep interest with this and keep it up to date (as needed)

I've been working on some new features and I thought "Hey, I might integrate few tweaks I use".
What about this? More comming.
Also I was thinking of easy "buttons" changer (hold voice button/press voice button etc).
PS: I know that it doesn't support resizing/maximizing window, I will disable both of it.
PPS: **** ME! no more, back to COOK IT

I nearly wet myself when I saw the **** ME button... LOL

Latest tweaks update till I release it:
+ it asks after ROM build whether you want to run KaiserCustomRUU.exe and flash it immediatily.
I'll upload it in the morning with clear head, now I'm gonna go sleep. Gnight ladies.

lmao nite mommy

Looks good! Just dont make it too complicated!

OK, here we go: http://www.4shared.com/file/120731385/d9575efd/osKitchen_101.html
Replace the original .exe with this one, saved sessions are compatible (and always will be) on both ways.

is there anyway of using this in vista?

Vox Rose Kitchen 2.0 [WM 6.0 + 6.1 + 6.5] UPDATED to 2.0

Vox Rose Kitchen 2.0 [WM 6.0 + 6.1 + 6.5]
I present to you my new Vox Rose Kitchen v2.0.
​
It now supports the Vox and the Rose.
The downloads here will be Vox specific only. All the ROM, SYS and OEM folders will only work with the Vox.
For the Rose version go here!​
For all things you can do with the kitchen, please look at the thumbnail!
​
Requirements:
dotNET Framework (at least 2.0)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
Windows XP or higher is recommended (SplashMaker doesn't work under 64-bit operating systems)
Kitchen has to be located like this: %systemdrive%\Vox Kitchen\... -- So in the "Vox Kitchen"-folder should be the exe and all the folders (OEM,SYS,ROM,TOOLS)!
Downloads:
The download comes in two parts!
First is the TOOLS folder and the "Vox Rose Kitchen 2.0.exe".
The second part are the ROM, SYS and OEM folders.
General Downloads (always needed):
Download exe, bat and TOOLS folder
just click on install and it will unpack it to your system drive\Vox Rose Kitchen
Downloads for WM 6.0:
Download ROM + OEM + SYS for WM 6.0
Downloads for WM 6.1 (should be20282.1.3.6):
Download ROM + OEM + SYS for WM6.1 (Rose folders)
Neo-Package (replace the SYS packages)
WM 6.1 Languages
Downloads for WM 6.5:
Download ROM + OEM + SYS (21854.5.0.80 "Official" files)
Download ROM + OEM + SYS (23017.5.3.0)
Changelog:
v1.2 -> v2.0
updated the whole kitchen to be compatible with the Rose (S740)
made extracting a lot easier (therefore I removed the wizards), also gives you the XIP of the ROM
automatically implants xip when you place a xip.bin in the ROM folder (therefore I removed the XIP wizard, but it's still in the tools folder)
updated the build wizard accordingly
some new graphics
If you want to use the batch version, you'll have to use the old v1.2 where it's still included, but without the benefits of automatic xip implantation -> download 1.2
And of course Thanks to Dr. G!!!

The Building Process
Fire up "Vox Rose Kitchen.exe" in the normal kitchen folder ("C:\Vox Rose Kitchen") and go to the build tab. It'll look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The first step is to start G'Reloc and check if the values are right for the Vox (look at the picture) and click on "Do it"!
If you are cooking with WM 6.5 you might get errors, because G'Reloc isn't ready for Wm 6.5. In this case you click OK and then "Do it!" again and it'll tell you which module is producing the error. You can now either go to that folder and use Unlocker to unlock the "tmp"-file and delete it and then click "Do it!" again to keep going or you use recmod to make a file out of the module (better if you are cooking more then once). I recommend the recmod path it's easier and faster once you've eliminated all "bad" modules!
The WM 6.5 package I supply has all modules already fixed, so you don't need to worry!
When G'Rleoc is done (it might look like it hangs and then unexpectedly is done), you can close it and continue on with BuildOS. Here you can choose what to include and what not to include (only OEM packages, if you don't want certain languages (all the xxx_LANG_0XXX folders) or SYS packages you'll have to delete them manually! Please do not remove the package I have marked in the picture, unless you are re-integrating customer service (but why would you ).
Click on the green play button once you have selected everything you want! It'll say done at the bottom once it's done!
When it's done you can close it and click on "Create Vox ROM".
This will automatically insert a xip into the new ROM if there is one present in the ROM folder (xip.bin). You don't need a new XIP for 6.1 and I integrated the right one in my WM 6.5 package. So basically you don't have to worry about XIPs.
​
The cmd window will do everything on it's own and it's done when the window closes itself. You now have a OS.nb in the temp folder.
Now open then "Start HTC ROM Tool" and click on "Build!":
Under "Device" choose Excalibur.
Change the "Version" to what ever you want and leave the rest alone.
Then select a OS and choose the OS.nb in the temp folder.
Then click on "Build" and save the ROM in TOOLS\VoxFLASH and you are done with cooking!
​

Welcome back!
May you indicate the SYS-XIP included for every WM?

Thank you very much, frauhottelmann! Very long waited kitchen under WM6.5. Great work!

I added the build numbers, but I don't remember WM 6.0 build...

I have been waiting for WM6.5 kitchen for a long time. Great minds will come to work again.
cooking 6.5 will be fun.
Thanks!!

Thank FMs..did you have a good time in scotland?
I just ahd a quick look at this and...I got no chance lol

Thanks fh, was waiting for it, hope you had fun on your vacation

Hello, guys...
I´m completely new to Vox world, I´m coming from Excalibur, and I want to know if I´ll be able to backup my current rom with this tool. Also, I want to know if it´ll be possible to restore this backup if something goes wrong with a WM6.5 upgrade, for example.
I´m currently using WM6.0 Stock ROM. My vox never saw another rom in it´s life.
Also, is there a step-by-step guide to do this backup/restore procedure? I found some articles (using the search tool), but they seem to be incomplete or outdated. I´m really afraid of bricking my expensive device.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I uploaded the folders from my "Official" WM 6.5 ROM.

Updated to version 2.0 check first and second post for details!
Spoiler: automatic xip integration and new tutorial on cooking!

hi frauhottelmann
can i build a wm6.1 vox spanish rom with all the files available in the 1st post?
Also, where could I get a spanish language for building the rom?
thanks,

WM6.5 Offical V1 built and my phone hangs in bootloader splash for infinite time (I tried waiting for more than half an hour then gave up installing original HTC WM6 update)
I tried disabling the options for third party software (first 4 in the list) but still it hangs in startup screen.
From official word it seemed to me that it has stock WM6.5 icons form microsoft but later seeing "Clean" rom screenshots i became sure that the "official" will much look the same.
Regards
Moeen

Don't know, what you're doing wrong, but I didn't change anything from my ROM to the kitchen, so it should boot (and nobody complained yet).
Otherwise please try v1.2 (download) and build the ROM with that version. I haven't tried v2.0 with the Vox, but it should work.
What do you want to tell about the icons?

Any way to get plain files for translating into spanish? or most are built without source

I just installed clean v3.0 of WM6.5 and it has the original icons so my problem is solved in that regard.

I have French, Czech, Italian, Greek and Polski/Polish localisations but unfortunately i dont have spanish localisation for Windows Mobile standard
Any fix to change sliding panel to default HTC one rather using Titanium (its slower than HTC's Sliding panel)

Could you please upload the WM 6.0 ROMs and OEM + SYS, but now using a *.zip or *.rar format, because the installer that you're using is crashing on my Windows Vista.

You can unpack the exe files with 7zip instead of the installer.

When I tried what I got was this:
Code:
Can not open file 'C:\Program Files\Vox Kitchen\oem_sys.exe' as archive
And the same for the rom.exe

That sounds like a corrupted archive then. Try re-downloading. I couldn't upload right now anyway!
