Cooking using official Orange ROM as a base?

Hi Folks,
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get burnt asking this, but I can't find the answer anywhere.....help!
I've flashed planty of ROMs before (and really appreciate the effort from the folks cookin' 'em) but never 'cooked' my own.
I've got an Orange Branded TyttnII, so I tried the official 6.1 ROM they released recently. I actually really like it and it performs well.
There are a few really annoying things about it though. Like the version of HTCs homescreen they ship doesnt have the music tab, there are apps they install that I'm never going to use etc. etc.
So, I'd love to take the original update (or RUU_signed.nbh from it), pull it apart and make it my own.
I've read and watched everything I can find about cooking and I've done nothin but turn my brain to useless mush....
Please, could someone tell me (or point me in the right direction to find) how I can take this RUU_signed.nbh and rip things (packages, I guess?) out?
Thanks in advance!

Putting better ROM on Magic

Hi Guys.
I'm new to the world of Android (Got a Magic yesterday), and I was hoping I could put an Android 1.6 Rom with SenseUI on here for now.
I am in South Africa, and the local HTC agents (LEAF) haven't even given us the 1.5 Update with senseUI.
Unfortunately my SPL is 1.33.0010 which apparently is a Perfect SPL.
Is there a way I can get around to install a decent ROM because I don't feel confident playing around and changing the SPL.
Firstly I don't won't to brick the phone, and secondly, if I'm successful, I don't want to lose my warranty.
I also struggle to understand what is going on with some of the instructions in some threads.
I'd really appreciate your help guys ... perhaps you know something I am missing? I did read the Wiki, and it scared me a bit ... but I'd really like to have some of the features available in new Android versions and also Sense UI, and if & when it comes out, Android 2.1
Regards
Itai

Any Mandarain/Chinese custom WM 6.5 rom available??

Hi all, I haven't been up to date and keeping up with the scene lately (I'm now using a newer phone, Nokia N900). So ya i haven't been using my Touch Pro all that much..........so forgive me for asking some stupid or noob questions
U see, my mom needs a phone just like the Touch Pro with the slide out keyboard that can type/txt in mandarin. And since my Touch Pro was purchased in Taiwan, the keyboard naturally has the mandarin characters on it, and since i'm not using it anymore i thought i'd give it to her.
But I remembered using the phone for the very first time, the stock rom was slow and crap. That's y I installed EnergyRom on it, and since i prefer english then it doesn't affect me. BUT as for my mom, her english sucks balls, so now i'm left with 2 options, either restore it back to the stock Taiwanese rom, or try to find a custom rom with chinese support......
I would prefer the 2nd option, because the sole reason y i found this forum and got into all these custom roms, is coz they're just so much better. I love EnergyRom for the speed and pure awesomeness, so would prefer if i can use a custom rom that has chinese support.
By chinese support, I mean using the keyboard to type chinese. I know there are programs like CEStar etc but those are slow and my mom wants to use the keyboard to txt instead of using the stylus or software keyboard.
So ya, does anyone know any chinese custom rom?? I already Googled for the past 20 mins and found none, i did find a few chinese forums but all their custom roms are just copied from here........
Lastly, what does "WWE" mean?? I saw a few topics with that in their title, but forgot what it means.

Update:
I'm about to download the stock rom coz i might decide to use it, but then i read something important in the middle of the page. It seems it'll change the radio version as well, is that possible??
Can someone please confirm this?? Coz i remembered the radio version of the stock rom sucked, that's why i changed it to a different one and is also one of the main reason y i installed a custom rom.
Also, i can't exactly remember the process of setting up your phone so that you can get it ready to install custom roms. All i can remember is something about the HardSPL?? So my question is, is it possible that if you install the stock rom, it'll restore the HardSPL back to the factory settings and everything else that was modified?? I.e, will i have to reinstall all that crap again?? Or is ROM the only thing that will be changed?? I'm just kinda unsure about this since the radio version might be changed, and i'm not sure if i can change it back to the one I want after installing the stock rom........
Here's the page if anyone can read chinese/taiwanese:
http://www.htc.com/tw/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=140&cat=2&dl_id=527
BTW, i did find a lot of custom chinese roms, and one of them is even THE SAME as EnergyRom, which is the June 19th 2010 build, it looks EXACTLY the same except that it's in chinese......most of the roms are very up to date, mostly updated to June 2010, and I actually just installed one of them and it's got chinese fonts alright, the output works fine and all but the hardware keyboard output doesn't work, it's still in english and doesn't output the corresponding chinese character that you type on the keyboard. So ya i'm still looking for solutions if anyone's got any.
Edit:
I found this thread and it has the language pack for Taiwanese (but the link is dead). I'm not sure how to use it though............can someone plz help?

[Q] Request ROM, original ROM for XT720 (Ver. STR_U2_03.20.0) Wanted.

Hi All, I'm really new to this whole flashing thing
after messing with my XT720 Phone (bought in Jordan) for a couple of weeks and after reaching the point of installing Apps2SD and things like that i flashed my phone with the ROM STR_U2_03.20.1 from a site called And Developers. the original was STR_U2_03.20.0, it looks almost the same but i can never tell except tat i missed the Arabic layout for the Mobidiv Keyboard.
any idea where i can get this ROM or Keyboard back?
Also, How can i tell which hardware revision is my phone?
also, any news regarding Froyo?

[ROM] [PORT] Ad Photon (discontinued)

Android / Linux port for PHOTON
Introduction:
HTC Photon looks very similar to HTC Liberty. It's not only external look, as well they are very similar.
My goals was to determine how fast it can be binged up on HTC PHOTON.
Actually they much more changes, that it looks at first view.
PHOTON doesn't have digital compass, while LIBERTY have it.
As well LIBERTY have optical trackball, PHOTON doesn't.
Notes about future development:
All GPIOs looks same in PHOTON & LIBERTY.
Only 192Mb RAM used for now. Additional RAM can be activated.
Battery driver doesn't work, heave difference between PHOTON & LIBERTY.
GSensor doesn't work, looks like it's problem of userspace android library.
Calls are working, data (GPRS) - not. It maybe big problem to implement DATA connection.
WLAN also not working somehow.
Buttons are working, but they need proper align. (buttons are part of touchscreen).
Status:
http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PhotonStatus
"Unknown" means not tested. I had not enough time to test it well.
I didn't test anything really. Only just looks for "yes" / "no", no deep testing because not enough time.
Files to download:
for developers:
KERNEL + HARET sources.
Note this HARET only compatible with HTC PHOTON.
http://cotulla.pp.ru/photon/Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Devs.rar
for users:
ANDROID which runs from SD card, without removing Windows Mobile.
Copy files to root of SD card and run "HARET_PHOTON7227.exe"
http://cotulla.pp.ru/photon/Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users.rar
NOTE about files. I will delete this files tomorrow or after tomorrow.
Please reupload them to different file share hostings. Otherwise it will cause too big traffic to my site. Sorry for that.

DISCONTINUED:
I won't continue developing of Android/Linux for PHOTON. Why?
*Main goals of this project are passed. All stuffs was ported in about 5 days.
*I have not much free time to develop android for another device. (I am supporting several devices, they take a lot of time)
*It's rather useless? You can sold PHOTON and buy LIBERTY. With native android inside. With compass inside. With trackball inside. With same size and design like PHOTON.
*And main reason: My father's phone is broken. I will give him PHOTON So I won't have PHOTON device anymore. And can't develop for it.
*I hope you appreciate all this
Anyway goodluck in developing, a lot of work already done (the hardest part however...)
-Cotulla

Awesome job you did there Cotulla. I don't own a Photon myself but have been trying to help the guys in another thread with some hints to try and get HaRET working. It's unfortunate you can't continue development. But with your work maybe some other developers that have the Photon can make it fully functional.
I've mirrored the files here:

This is SO NICE!! I hope someone can pick up Android development now and we can get Android on our devices. And what you're saying about HTC Liberty, we can't buy it over here So I had to buy HD Mini
Thank you so much!
PS: I still hope you'll get another Photon in the future

Thank you so much! This a VERY BIG STEP for us!
We will continue with your work

Yes. I have tried
I can only tell a compliment to devolopment.
... a very polished look and work a little slower than wm (so far)
for 2 hours of testing a few times I had to put the sim card pin

hm i tested it too and android working ..but i have a few questions...hm could it be that our (or my european device from germany) mini ist not fully working with ARIA rom? maybe we need Gratia rom ? im asking that because ehen i started booting first time i could only chose betwen 3 languages (and german or other European languages are not there). and the second thing is that it didnt find my SD-Card .. and i heard that aria only accept specific SD Cards`? is that right?
or is it possible to replace this aria(liberty) rom to an gratia rom? because we now have working haretfix `? thanks for the attention greetz silver sorry for my english

first off all:
THIS IS NOT A WORKING ANDROID!
please read first post for details.
haret does not give us the possibility to run complete "ROMS". we have to build kernels and android on our own. and as i can see there is no special gratia source on htc developers site, so i think there is no difference in hardware.

great job! thanks so much

ok thanks for the explanation schlund
