Need Kitchen Help

Ok I need a few opinions.
I am wanting to find out who has the easy and the best Kitchen.
I want to take a "nk.nbf" and edit it.
I want to remove packages that are in there and add others.
I have "TNT.1933_Professional___HTC_Home_Wizard" Rom I have tryed to use "HyperCore Kitchen" but could not get the rom to work.
I took the original ron, extracted it and then re made it (With out changing anything) to see if I was doing it the correct way, but after I loaded the rom it locks up after it posts the ver screen.
Is this the rom I am using or the way I am using it. Or is it the kitchen.
I really want to learn to make my own. So if some one has time to walk me though it I would be ever so greatfull.
I have searched and search the site and most walkthroughs apply to old vers of kitchens. I still tryed to follow them but cant get a rom to work. I know I must be missing something somewhere.

I don't think you have the .rgu's
If the chef deletes the .rgu files you can't rebuild his rom the easy way. You should either seek a rom that has all the files or ask the maker to share them.

Ok thank you

Yep, a lot of the roms have the .rgu files removed. You can use my cooking pack or I recall that there was a Lite version of TNT that was meant for cooking that would still ahve the .rgu files (but then you'll have to get the packages to put in it what you want). Then of course there is theloon's kitchen stuff which has tons of packages and all.

Changing Default Keyboard Skin - WM6.1

Hi all,
I need some advice on doing something that was fairly easy to do in WM6.0 ROMs, which is changing the default keyboard skin by replacing the msim.96.dll.0409.mui file.
I've tried a number of WM6.1 ROMs and this does not work. The only way I have been able to get the .mui file working was to re-cook the ROM and using an OEM package. Even after I re-cook with a new keyboard skin and try to replace the .mui file it does not work. Very strange.
Any of the cooks out there have any ideas why this is? I did a reg. dump of a ROM with and without the keyboard OEM package but did not find anything specific that would show why this does not work.
Appreciate any feedback. I know this works without any issues in WM6.0 ROMs.
Thank you.

Don't know what your doing wrong buddy but most of the time you need to cook the new .mui file in like I always do and i have no issue with the WM6.1 roms ever using the grey keyboard that I always use in my roms. To get this straight your dumping the rom and then copying the new .mui file right over the old file if there is one at all then rebuilding the rom? that is the only way it will work you can't copy over it once you have rebuilt the rom it needs to be cooked in.

austinsnyc,
Thanks for the response.
If I cook the .mui file in a ROM it works fine. The problem is not being able to replace the file (even though the file is overwritten). I was able to do this in WM6.0 ROMs but it doesn't seem this is possible in WM6.1 ROMs and I just wanted to confirm it.
So if I dump, change file, re-cook, works fine. I guess I'll have to do that with any of the new WM6.1 ROMs I end up running.
Thanks again.

Actually you can change it easily via cab install but you need to sign it first. You can try the attached cab, and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1610615&postcount=3 for other skin.

Try this. First import the attached Keyboard Cert registry file (use dotfred's task manager which does registry editing, or resco registry editor). Once you do that, you should be able to use the various keyboard cabs. I've attached one that has like 20 keyboard styles you can choose from (uses mortscript to do this). Choose the one you want, soft reset, and presto...

Confused on some things when cooking!!

I've started trying my hand at cooking some of my own ROMs over the past couple of days and have gotten confused on some stuff. I've been following the both the Wiki's and the threads on cooking but none of them seem to point it out so here goes.
1) I'm trying to use a base ROM such as this one or this one and have been successful in both dumping them and cooking them using Alex's latest revision of KaiserKitchen and his apps. When I am including the os.nbh file during the cooking process, should it be the one that comes up in the main KaiserKitchen folder or the one that is located in the BASEROM folder? Is either of those files just the OS part of the ROM without all the applications and such?
2) After cooking and successfully flashing either of the two before mentioned ROMs I will always get the auto-installer which occurs on a default ROM. The problem is is that none of the defined packages that I've chosen in the cooking process will be installed when the ROM is flashed. Why is this? Is there something that I should be doing that I'm not doing now that will allow this?
I would greatly appreciate any help in this as I want to become an avid chef but want to learn the ropes first. I've been toying around with it and wanted to get a decent collection of base ROMs and understand them before I start customizing them and such. Again, any help would be thoroughly appreciative and love what you guys are doing here.

os.nb should be in base rom with RUU_signed.nbh(once youve extracted) The File that is generated during ervius package tools is OS-new.nb-this is your new os. Kaiser Wiki has all info.

I've been searching the Wiki like crazy and I guess I am just confused on it. So OS-new.nb is the OS ROM with all of the packages, Which one would be just the OS itself? The os.nb file in the BASEROM folder?

Yeah, but dont worry about os.nb in base rom folder, unless you dont want to mod the rom and just add your fave radio/splash/spl. If thats all you want to do then recomplile using htcrt.exe in tools folder. OS .nb is what is extracted into OEM SYS and ROM folders in the kaiserkitchen. To add Packages put a folder called Packages in your kaiserkitchen and put your OEM Packages in it, then run KAISERKITCHEN.CMD chose option c then b. When Ervius build os +package tool opens,click the right tab and add rom(Add your kaiserkitchen folder,but make sure its on your desktop). You will then get a list of packages in the premade folder, just tick the ones you want to add to your rom. Once happy click build rom. Once done exit and KAISERKITCHEN.CMD should crack on by itself....then bring up a couple more apps(Rom Tool and Pagepool)just do what they say . every time you exit these apps KAISERKITCHEN.CMD will take you to the next step.

speaking of the htc rom tool, does anyone have a mirror for the latest version (1.1.1). it's not working on his site, and I 'm really interested in the command line support

Theres a new ROM tool????Anyone tried??
NEW IS GOOD!!!

Thank you so much for the clarification. I've also been trying to find a decent kitchen setup and the one made by Alex is the best one I've encountered so far but haven't really steered too far from his build. I have to agree that a new version of the HTC Rom Tool would be cool.

So if I'm understanding this correctly....in order to achieve a completely clean ROM without all the extra fixings I would simply need to use the os.nb file and not the os-new.nb file when cooking correct?

No, the only way to get a completely clean base is to use one someone made, or to manually remove extra oems from an uncorrupted rom (which usually means stock). os.nb is the donor imgfs, os-new.nb is the donor imgfs with your added pkgs.
The PPCkitchen.org kaiser kitchen is clean, and is way simpler to use. If you're trying to get to a clean base, do yourself a favor and just use it.

so... does this mean that if I use for say OEM HTC ROM, and put the os.nb in the base folder, when I build it using the tool, whatever packages I selected are simply added to whatever is on the OS.NB? I thought it would use the baserom as base and whatever apps installed on it are ignored. I guess I totally got it wrong then... So how do you strip out all the programs that have been installed in the baserom? Does this mean you have to dump the image?

I do know that in order to get the base OEM packages out of the main build you have to go through and remove and edit certain files to get it done right, which there is information in the Wiki about but haven't really had time to focus on it much. As for the PPCKitchen.org version of the Kitchen, I'm going to try it when I get home tonight because I'm at work currently. Gguruusa, you have to understand that some of us are new to the cooking community and want to be able to get our feet wet slowly and make sure we do stuff right instead of damaging our device. I've only got one Tilt and I don't want to completely destroy it. I would love to cook but need to be able to start off with a simple clean base rom with no extra ingredients and then go from there.

That's why ppckitchen.org was born. With ppckitchen.org, it's a point and click thing to build a rom. The mysterious part (making a kitchen base) is done for you. All you have to focus on is what packages you want to add.
You still have to unlock your device and install radios outside the kitchen, which is where people generaly brick their devices.

I shouldn't have any problems then seeing as to how I know that you need to have HardSPL installed and also to be sure to flash the radio AFTER the ROM in order to prevent bricking.

But that takes the whole fun out of cooking a rom when the base is already made for you...!!!
I will have to say my most challenging part is trying to get the base rom the way I like it in order to add whatever I want.
For example....
In my current kitchen I have deleted all of the OEMAPPS folders except the dsm file. I have then rebuilt all of my programs like the way a Diamond and Raphael ROM is....
In essence, If I was to just build my ROM without any packages it would be a clean rom without any software like camera, mms, phoneskins ect....
Its taken awhile thats why I have not published my newest rom yet...

I totally agree my favourite build was one that went wrong and nearly bricked my phone....sounds sick, but it was going back over what i had done and fixing that was the fun part. That ROM turned out to be possibly my most stable (Yardie 2.1.240) Ha ha i love cooking!!!

Bah. The fun of cooking is getting a ROM to look and feel like you want. Making a kitchen is entertaining when you haven't done it before, but it's really 99% repetition and 1% art.

Unistalling cooked programs in ROMs

I know that the prograns cooked by the chefs in their ROMs can't be uninstalled by simple going do the "Remove Programs" button on the Settings part of the ROM.
I want to know if there is a way to uninstall some programs cooked in the ROMs BEFORE flashing them into Kaiser...
Is there any program that can easily do this?
Is it safe?
Can it be done without major knowlowedge of the cooking/programming processes?
Since I use the ROMs in Brazil, some of the programs that usually comes cooked in the ROMs are pretty much uselles here (e.g., that one that "reads" the name of the contact that's calling).
Usually I just disable then, but it is kind of a waste of space leaving them there without using.

I would like to know the answer as well

Hi there,
I would use a ROM Image Editor software.
Search for htcRIE_0.4.0.51.exe. open the .nbh file and you will see all the
files included in the ROM. Some files you can delete without having to worry about anything. Give it a try.
I don't take any responsibility if you modify/delete files and it breaks your phone.
Good Luck.

Thank you! I'll look for it.
But the chance of breaking the phone is relevant? I mean, why deleting some third party app files prevent me from flashing another ROM later, if anything goes wrong?
I don't want to deal with anything related to the OS itself, just eventual softwares installed, like MS Voice Command or RSS Hub.
If the only way is to delete file by file I'm note too sure if it is worth the work...
I honestly toought that there was a program that you could open the .nbh file and it would show the installed prograns and the option to remove them.

not worth the work???? what work??? u open the nbh file, u select the file, and u delete it. much less work than actually recooking the rom.
i use htcrie all the time, and i've screwed up many many times. If u screwed it up, and deleted something that you shouldnt......then just start again from a copy of the original and make sure u dont delete it.

or, the 'easy' way (and most chefs provide this) is to flash a 'lite' or 'naked' version of the rom series, then add the crap you DO want. or, download a kitchen and cook your own!

But I believe that most of these programs are not in one simple file... Or are they?
I though that the process of deleting the files would implie deleting ALL the files related to the program.
Some of them put files in the '/Windows' folder, '/My Documents' folder and so on...

Well, first of all, not every chef makes naked ROMs. Second, I usually DO want 90% of what comes in the ROMs, and want to delete one or two programs. So, flashing naked ROMs to install EVERYTHING else is a option that I don't want do consider...
About cooking a ROM, I would do it if I have the time to learn everything about it. Since I can't do it with the knolowedge I have and don't have enought time to learn it all, I'm tryng to find one alternative that can solve my problem.

so you delete ALL the files associated with that program then.

Old cooker want to cook something

After many many tweaking and cooking ROMs for WinMo I want to do same with Android. The reason I cooked for WinMo was speed, but since it is not an issue with mine Desire(but it can be better I want to customize ROM a little bit, so remove some stuff and later maybe add few apps. If this want be a problem I will try to tweak too.
However in WinMo I have always have served kitchen, I just tweaked removed and add few things and job done but here there are no kitchens..yet(I hope somebody will sooner or later post it
So is there anybody who can help to set up kitchen so that I can cook few roms for me and this community?
So if I understanded correctly I need following to start cooking
android sdk
java jdk
signing tool
stock ROM
I have downloaded them all, extracted SDK in D:\HTC Desire\Android SDK, installed Java JDK in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java and I don't know what to do next?
Extract ROM, where(?), extract system.img which is in rom.zip if yes how and where?
Thanks for your help

Benko, you can extract the ROM anywhere you want. But, you don't want images. You should look at Pauls rootedupdate.zip as a starting point. Unzip that.

Ok extracted that rootedupdate.zip and found a lot of apks and obexes so after I delete those files that I dont want how to put that all back together to file that is flashable?

You'll have to resign the zip after removing stuff, otherwise it will give verification errors when trying to flash.
You need to remove the current certificates from the file, there are three files in the META-INF folder - delete those, but keep the update script (the COM folder inside), it's needed for flashing.
I use this little thingy for signatures: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Generating_Keys
Hope this helps!
PS-beware of any dependencies between the various apk's and any framework modding that might be needed, otherwise you'll get more fc's than you can carry; I know I did
PS2- if you want a served kitchen, you'll find one over at Modaco, for a CyanogenMod port (a link is posted in a thread here) - see if that suits you're needs.
PS3- check out the Chef Central sticky here, too - it should be easier to get quicker/more accurate info from the seasoned cooks there

Rezip the folders: meta, system & boot.img.
Then resign them. You can then transfer it to sd and try to flash. If it doesn't boot, then you have to troubleshoot.

May I know that how to change layout of the home screen?
e.g. HTC sense has news/mail widget where first installed and booted.
Where can I change these settings?
Also , I want to know if I made my own rom, and updated to my desire.
If it doesn't boot or anything, can I updated the rootedupdate.zip from Paul to get the desire back working?
Thanks

Then resign them. You can then transfer it to sd and try to flash. If it doesn't boot, then you have to troubleshoot.

May I know that how to change layout of the home screen?
e.g. HTC sense has news/mail widget where first installed and booted.
Where can I change these settings?
Also , I want to know if I made my own rom, and updated to my desire.
If it doesn't boot or anything, can I updated the rootedupdate.zip from Paul to get the desire back working?
Thanks

Ok zipped those folders(META-INF, system, boot.img) in rootedupdate.zip, used autosign.bat to manually sign that .zip and now it should be flashable?
@Kevin-yes if it is not bootable you can flash Pauls rom again

Hopefully. After a few hundred times you'll get the hang of it. ;P
If it boot loops, it won't boot. Try again. Always remember what you're adding and subtracting. Maybe start out with only a couple things.

I hope it works
So for now I even don't need Android SDK?

I downloaded the rom kitchen from Chef Central...Does the rom need to be sign after I built them out in Linux?
Also there are some folders I not understand yet....
Inside system folder - customize, etc, framework, usr and xbin I dont understand yet.
Cause looking at eVil D:'s rom and paul's rom is very different in those. And even paul's rom doesnt have customize folder.
Would like to understand all and see if I can make a rom out.
Thanks

Anybody tried my ROM ?

the kitchen signs the rom automatically. run the menu from terminal ( using linux) and u will see all the what the kitchen is doing.
do not try to compare custom roms ... they are different. some have extrafiles & folders depending on their customisations.
best thing is to compare with an original rom for the desire. and u see what has been added to get X and Y. involves a lot of trials and errors.
