Hi,
I am a litte bit confused.
I took the latest build from NoThrill (WM 6.1 19202) and wants to add some more tools. (Using the kaiserkitchen from Alexis kaiserkitchen_01-20-08.rar).
The orginal RUU_signed.nbh has a size of approx. 90 MB, but after cooking the rom with the "HTC Rom Tool 1.1.0" the new nbd has only a size of 80MB.
I checked in "HTC Rom Tool" only the OS-File. Is that the reason ?
Regards

if you used kaiser kitchen then the OS.nb was run through Taz's imgfs tools so it makes the rom have more storage and also shrinks the rom size down a bit so you should be fine if you got no errors while building it.
Sounds about right, the NoThrills version has an OS but also has Radio rom and a SPlash screen, these will add to the size of the nbh
Upload this file (copy from \Windows on Kaiser) to thread, please!
Here you go!
Extracted from udK's R0 VEGA ROM.
What can you do with this?
Thanks!
I have Qtek S200 (Prophet) with wm6.1 rom and Touch DualPad installed. Recently install pocket console and found that HTC3GVT.dll trying to load HTC3GVTStack.dll witch depends on HTCMIDCODEC_QVP.DLL. I think that this files needed for dualpad video function.
Say I downloaded "frauhottelmann"'s GUI kitchen and I grabbed the original, unmodified S740 SYS and OEM folders from a thread here.
What would I need to replace in order to build a ROM that will bootup on an Excalibur ? I have the "dump" of the original 6.1 ROM from the Excalibur. Some drivers maybe ? Any help ? Thanks
Oh, so you got it already. You should start with the OEM folder of the Excalibur. Then you might have to add some of the *.cpl.xml from OEMMISC to get all settings to work. The new packages are a bit trickier to use. You need more files from the new OEM. And don't use the new Connection Setup, it doesn't work. You should be able to use the whole SYS folder though.
This is going to be difficult then. The only kitchen that exists for the Excalibur, dumps the contents of the ROM in one folder and doesn't seperate the foldes out to OEM, SYS, etc...
So is the SYS folder where all the drivers are then ?
No. There are two main folder. SYS is for the general Windows Mobile OS part. OEM is what the manufacturer or you add. The folder for drivers is on OEM and is called OEMDrivers. If you have a dump, you can make "packages" with PKGTools. There is no official 6.1 ROM right? So I guess this will be a problem, because then it doesn't sort the packages right. You'll have to try. Maybe send me a screen shot of the files or the result!
Well the original 6.1 ROM for the Excalibur (the ONLY one) was made by this guy Kavana. I'm pretty sure it was based on the files from the MS emulator and drivers from the OEM WM6. IS PkgTools included in your kitchen ? Should I try to dissassemble the ROM with your kitchen ?
yes pkgtools included.
give it a try and post if it worked!
good luck mate... i saw your prog for the weather! really nice!!
htc sliding plugin also rocks! anyway keep it up!
Well I managed to make an excalibur ROM that works (partially) with the VOX GUI kitchen, and replacing the OEMDrivers with the drivers from my official WM6 ROM. Problem is, the center button on the keypad doesn't work. Everything else is fine... although WI-FI and BT don't turn on. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong ? Oh and the startup screen is all skewed and in 4 pieces, right after the splash screen, bu before the usual winmo 6.1 splash screen.
Well I'm over that road bump now, and I'm trying to port the S740 XIP and SYS over to take advantage of the new CHOME
So far, so good...
Thanks guys for the support. I was able to make a new ROM based on the 20279 core from the S740 ALL by myself. Reading these forums for a few days is what did the trick... heh. THe ROM runs great and I have to say that BuildOS+package tools is my best ROM cooking friend right now...

There is no rgu file in the rom you dumped.
and the one is not official 6.1.
You can dump the
moto q8 WM6.1 rom
s740 official rom
C810 official rom for your resource.
I know.. that was my original problem. No worries though, as I used the SYS folder from the S740 and all is well now
I downloaded the rom to wm 6.5 but the inside is an NBH file, load it with the usual utility will not work because it only uses the file format NBF. With what program do I upgrade my Qtek 9100 (G3) ?
I am using OsKitchen to build a ROM for a Kaiser. I have dumped the final WM 6.1 ROM and overwritten the nk.exe with the Native 6.5 one as well as overwritten the OEMDrivers with the 3.57 ones also available. I have rebuilt the ROM using a few different versions of WM 6.5 and its all working. However I want to clean up the Operator PKG folder and split it into more friendly EXT Packages like you get when dumping the Topaz 6.5 ROM. The dump of the 3.57Kaiser ROM seems less sophisticated.
I also want to get Manila installed like lots of the cooked ROMs available on here. Does anyone have a pre-built EXT Packages folder I can use?
Thanks
Andy
OK - solved this myself. Downloaded the latest HTC Mega ROM and spent a couple of hours 'trial-and-error' building a ROM. Replaced the OEM_Lang_0409 & OEMApps folders with the MEGA ones and deleted drivers/files/Registry entries in the Kaiser OEMDrivers folder that had overlapping ones in the MEGA's EXT Packages folder.
I have to say this took way less time than I was expecting and the resulting ROM is excellent and quick )
