Is there a WM6 Rom Kitchen for the Wizard?

I have seen a lot of releases of ROM Kitchen, but not for the wizard.
So, here's my question: is there a WM6 Kitchen of the wizard publicly released out there? I'm not talking about Molski's Dev Pack (which is a great collection of tools, but misses the package management stuff).
I'm talking about something like the ROM Kitchen released by bepe for the Hermes http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/298636/...
Over the past months, I have been building my very own WWE kitchen for the Wizard and fixing registry settings at the package level (rather than patching after it).
If there is interest, I could release it...
Let me know.

i would be intrested in your rom kitchen...

YES. Unleash the kitchen. Maybe we'll all learn to cook someday!
@all
It's very simple to cook your own kitchen.
I don't know wht are you waiting for? Try to cook it by yourself and take tytn's kitchen as example.
gd luck.

For the uninitiated, can you explain a bit more. Take my example, I am a noobie and have flashed plenty of times. But anything more and my mind registers a blank. But I would like to tread this "cooking rom" path as the next step.
Thanks for the information. "A step-by-step guide to forming your own kitchen and cooking roms for consuption" would be just great.
ya let it come, for now i use molski kitchen for rom cooking.
Just follow bepe's kitchen structure and analyze the package(s)

That's what I did originally.
Then I discovered the Scoter Kitchen, which is based on bepe's tools too.
Nice thing about the scoter kitchen are the dmp2pkg and pkg2dmp tools which I have not found in another kitchen so far (at least in the ones I looked at).
That kitchen it also great, because it comes with documentation in html included and plenny other tools to work on the XIP segments...
They are nice as you can re-build the packages from the DSM files (like DSMTool previously) and recreate your dump directory with pkg2dmp (like BuildOS).
At this point, I don't know what is better: pkg2dmp or BuildOS. I have yet to port the packages I extracted from Orwell and modified,
to the bepe Kitchen to compare (not too difficult, just that I was focusing on something else).

Any WM5 Kitchen will work for WM6. I really dont see the build diffrence between the 2 as far as building. I use the files attached and they work fine for me. No walk through as I havent had time to write it down.
Basically it works like this though:
Step 1. Run dump.bat
Step 2. Modify the files in the working directory.
Step 3. Add files to dump folder (not what you find in working directory, thats automatic in Step 4.
Step 4. Run make.bat.
Pretty simple i think. All these are pulled together from other posts so if you have questions just read. LOL. You can also just PM me but remember I am kinda busy and might not reply very quickly.
Unable to upload to site so have to use rapidshare for this one. sorry guys.

i'd be interested in seeing it. I'm always up to learn new ways to accomplish something

[REF] Cooking Class Class of 2007/08/09 [ONLINE]

This thread is going to be for Junior chefs and other cooking enthousiasts.
Any one can join in and contribute and share mistakes made.
Touch only Please.
Most other devices are pretty well covered.
But Touch Forum is one of the youngest and a lot of touch users are new to WM6 and flashing and i find a lot of threads started that would belong pretty well in this thread. Not every Touch User goes onto other threads to find the information he needs
And no please don't consider me as the main man. There's still enough i need to learn and mistakes i still need to make
(And experiments i still need to do)

Hyper Core kitchen
Below is a slighty edited version from the original thread,
just to get you started.
As the original is still beta (but a mighty fine beta at that) any issues found will be reported on original thread. Please try to keep request in this thread as much as possible. And let's not bother Anichillus to much with questions and try to find out as much as possible our selves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HyperCore
Touch BETA
HyperCore Was Assembled and put together By Anichillus.
Who's added a nice Extract and Cook Tutorial in the Help Folder.
Many of the tools were created by those in Special thanks part below.
​
The most complex KITCHEN a begginer cook may ever need.
Easy to use but also very complex, it can be usefull to anyone.
Why ask and wait for others to make the perfect ROM for you when you got the power to do it yourself ?
~. Base ROM .~​* NO BASE ROM ! but ANY ROM !
~. Best part .~​* IT USES TADZIO TOOLS
* YOU CAN OPTIMISE EXE's and DLL's, SO IF YOU WANT EVEN MORE SPACE, YOU'LL GET IT
* IT CAN BE USED ON ANY DEVICE WITH VERY LITTLE MODIFICATIONS !!!!!
* NO LONGER LIMITED BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING.
* YOU CAN COOK ANY ROM YOU LAY YOUR EYES ON VERY EASY
* IT HAS ADVANCED ERROR CHECK
~. Guides .~​* Hermes Cookbook - THANKS to sambartle
* My Way of cooking - THANKS to Anichillus
* How to ADD/REMOVE programs -THANKS to mfrazzz
~. Notes .~​Since this is still a public BETA, I await your problems/ideas/concepts.
If you spot a bug, i suggest discussing it first before posting it to official HyperCore Kitchen Thread.
I suggest having a ROM to make a backup in case you do something wrong
This kitchen was created and tested for WindowsMobile 6 , but WM5 should work OK too.
~. Download .~
RapidShare

Rules
1. Be clear on what your specs are. So use your signature so you don't need to post your Base Rom and such.
2. Keep it clean. Ignore useless posts that have nothing to do with the thread. Because it will just become a very long book with no substance.
3. Read the thread before asking. And again ignore Questions you know are allready in the thread.

EOM repository
1) Packages may only consist of free software or software embedded in a factory ROM.
2) Package(s) must work and have been used by the poster in cooking a ROM. Please state the kitchen you used.
3) Uploads must be named according to contents (i.e. 300_Compressed_Office_2007_MM.zip). (MM=Main Memory SD=Storage Card)
4) You must state the contents of the package in your post. Not every little thing but enough for a person to make an informed decision to use the package or not. Packages do not have to include an option.xml file. However, they must include an initfileflashes.dat as well as .rgu and .dsm files.
5) If your package is too big, please use the uploads "/Elf/Cooking Class/OEM Packages" section of the FTP to post and post the link.
If you are posting a request:
1) Click on the paperclip icon on the main forum page next to this thread to see if a package you are requesting has already been posted. This is the most important rule!
I have a naming Scheme for most of my packages to easily find stuff back and have some order in my kitchen.
000 Personal Settings For Rom.
100 Interface Cutimisation Packages.
200 Home Screen Plug Ins
300 Applications
700 SIP Input Methods
800 Registry Tweaks
900 OS packages (Auto Update, Enterprise, etc)
Of course this is open for discussion. But for now try to keep numbering for Packages.
I'll contact a Moderator to see if it's okay to use some FTP space on XDA.

I'll think of
I'll think of of a better way of filling in these first threads. But it's better to be safe then have not enough space so please be fiorgifefull for now.
Localizing
Let's try and get some information together about working with localized Roms here.
I've seen a Spanish, French, Chinese and Dutch Cooks around.
Base Roms
Dopod Asia WWE 1.17
(DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND FLASH THE ROM BENEATH LINK IS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES IT IS A FULL ROM WITHOUT SPL EXTRACTED)
Uploading RUU_signed_OS5.2.1437.zip
Feck Registration
Either your in or your not.
Let's not but any pressure on people then.
Any good suggestions to fill the first threads?
Registration

Hi Noonski,
I'm in
Hi Noon,
I'm in to!
Nice Initiative of you man, maybe we can sticky this thread!
It's helpfull to us all!
Mayb Post all the current available roms also, becouse everybody can extract them to build their own??
Gr. Bram
Yeah i set up Thread 9 to collect those in.
When it becomes intersting it will propably become sticky.
Great to see you guys. I'm of to do real work.
Pick me, Pick mee, register mee?
Hi Noonski,
Thanks for the thread. I'm in and I hope this thread will be kept clean.
Ive been trying to cook my own stuff for a while now, but only partial succes. Ill be following this thread
Nice initiative
Nice to see we got's us a good sense of Humour here.
I'm in and ready to cook!!!
Damn
Here's what i just did.
I edited a Registry setting using PHM reg edit.
It was the setting that tells what to run in the HTC home Pug in.
Will have to look at home but i think this registry setting is also present in a provxml file when cooking. After reset it froze on third Boot.
Going to try and reproduce this step now.
Not cooking issue but still important and interesting i thinks
It was HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\5\Path=
**** i could not reproduce it.
Second attempt, again it did not freeze.
So it looks freeze can still happen with new HTC home. I could try and replace the files with original DUO Touch dll and exe files that have 6 tab standard.
Maybe i need to restart faster after reg edit.
Hey Noonski count me in.
Vista fix is working, and to save time to other people i uploaded edited batch folder(link in my sig).
Could we add Touch configuration to the Kitchen and include RUU too, coz Artemis RUU doesn't work.

i need help with cooking a different icon in applications

Im using ervius kitchen to cook my own ROMs wm6.5.3 and i want to change the default icons on the start menu for example home icon,settings,file explorer you guys get my point. My question is where are they located? i want them to be changed once the ROM starts. any help would be appreciated

Creating Themes?

Hi I was wondering if there was a tutorial anywhere for creating windows mobile 6.5.1 themes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
First of all... you need WinCE CAB Manager to edit CAB and TSK files. Then, you need some graphics editing skills (Photoshop/GIMP/Paint.NET). Just download any themes you like, open the CAB and replace the images you want to change with your own ones. If you want to change the file names, you have to edit the registry values in the TSK as well .
Also, all questions should be asked in the Q&A section; I predict this thread will be moved there in a few minutes like magic .

help me to create registry and cook it

i have confusion from begining..
how to create registry and by which program?
how to cook it in rom?
i have read mr. makk tut.. but its just highlight..
i want step by step proced.. or something near to it..plz help..
no one?.......
Software you place in the kitchen will have a app.reg to which can just be edited, if it's system changes you want to make or if you just don't want to dig in the kitchen you can export reg & make .cab with all reg edits and add to customization "OperatorPkg\ExtendedPKG"
i get some idea but still need some more info..
Your first question answered. Or you use SK-Tools it exports registry and can create a cab!
To get it into rom you need a kitchen.
Simple isn't it?

Though for another phone as yours currently, this Rollup is an excellent HTC FAQ IMHO. It'll give you a very good overall impression.
When you too are in cooking ROM's then this thread 'll interest you!
When you PgDn you'll see Extendir Cabs a very nice CAB utility.
