Can mkrom cook WM2003 rom now?

it seems that kichten can cook WM2003 rom now, but how about the standalone mkrom. it takes quite some effort to set up a kichten and what I really need is just putting a few my files into rom. all the customization can be easily done afterwards and backup to SD card.
So my question, can the mkrom cook wm2003 ROM?

I'm trying to figure that one out too... All I want to do is replace sounds and ringtones and the boot image in the 4.00.16 rom with my own and a couple programs only. I've already sat up the rom from a rom kitchen (not my own) but now need to do the fine tuning.
Any suggestions on a mkrom 2003 edition? :?:

download 4.00.11 rom?

Where can i download the 4.00.11 rom version since Jeff kitchen is down?
it's also not available on yorch kitchen!
cheers,
Yann

yah, jeff's kitchen is down and i think it is the only one with the 4.00.11 update. yorch's has 4.00.05 only

can anyone post a link to download this rom version?
best regars,
Yann

Check some of the old posts by doing a search. One of the FTP's might still be open.

hi guys
i found a rom.exe file that i had cooked in jeffz kitchen a long time ago; it also contains some extra apps from the kitchen.
just give me an ftp location to upload to and it's yours. unfortunately, my ftp server is not for public use.
cheers

Hi all,
I need a clean ROM 4.00.11 ENG (without any apps) ... My problem is with Imov (doesn't work) and EZWAP (it doesn't have 2.5 with MMS option).
If any one have this "Vanilla" version plz send me a PM
Thanks in advance

You can still get a Cooked .11 ROM. Since those programs are in ROM and not RAM, they don't take up any space. Install the new versions of the progs you want and you will be fine.

Right!! ... but some of these files installed in the windows directory are actually ROM files now, they can't be over written by the new versions.
Also, I like that each program is installed in its default directory instead of customized installations.

No that is not correct. You CAN install newer programs of programs in ROM. How do you think Microsoft can update MSN Messenger, etc.? Try it, THEN come back and thank us b/c it will work.

Hi to all,
I just opened an FTP account to download/upload the roms.
ftp:\\server268.com
username:xda
password:myxda
you'll find on it the uncooked 4.00.11 rom verision as well as the 4.21X radio stack (a bit better than the 4.21)
Fell free to upload any other rom's.
ridaz could you upload on the FTP or send me by email your cooked 4.00.11 rom!!
regards,
Yann

I'll post my stable, email add attachment functioning no sd card erasing (knock on wood three times), phone ext working, copy of the .11 rom as soon as I find it. It has been installed for so long...

English ROM 4.02.04 added to kitchen

The new uploaded ROM is availbale for Cooking.
Don´t know exactly what are the differences to the other ROMs.
This ROM does not include any Stnadard Operator Conifg and it does not include the wmodem application....
Stefan

Trying to build a ROM using the 4.02.04 english version the available space reported by kitchen is only 415KB instead of the expected 4150KB (as reported near selection).
Is it a kitchen bug or the available ROM space with this version is really of 415KB ? :shock:
Bye

Thx for the hint.
Was a typo on my "slow" romkitchen....
Fixed it already.
Stefan

so, will it be better than 4.01.16??? cuz it given me a hell of tough times! what version u recommend for win2003?

Cooking a Tornado Rom

Hello.
I think ive been reading for the last 5 hours about this topic.
I've managed to dump the ipl spl splash gsm os .nb files using typhoonnbfdecode.pl.
Then i managed to decode os.nb using prepare_imgfs.exe -nosplit option and then make_imgfs.exe. The next thing recmod crashes.
Ignoring that crash, I've changed a folder in the dump rom and I've tried to compile it using BuildImgfs.exe and make_imgfs.exe but nothing happens actually.
Would you please give me advice on this topic? I need to replace the keyboard driver from a orange aku2 tornado rom to a i-mate rom.

its been a "long" time since i wrote this.
what have i found more? i now know to compile the files back *the nb files to one nbf file*.
so i now have a dump directory but i can't compile it.
if you have any advice on this, please help.

Hey
I'm interested in cooking a new Tornado ROM as the old AKU2.0 is, well, OLD! lol.
could you point me in the direction of a nice comprehensive guide on cooking a rom? and what software would i need?
thanx

i know like almost 80% of the process but i cant compile the .nb or .nba file after i dump it.

Hey
Do you have all the necessary files to do the rom kitchen?

basically the above but for Tornado instead
I'm assuming, because we're simply using a different AKU update, and not an actual NEW OS update, (as when people were upgrading from WM2003SE to WM5 i can understand there would be driver incompatibilities)
so, it should really be as simple as basically extracting the relevant keyboard/joystick/camera/hardware button drivers and inserting them into the SPL rom?
could you post what you have currently?
or better still, could you zip everything up and email it over to me at gmail? its duke.stix [at] googlemail [dot] com
i really wanna upgrade the AKU on the tornado! the aku 3.5 update on the pocketPC's looks a whole lot different!

ah, the thing is i dont have anything right now.
its useless all this work if you dont even know how to compile the final product.
when i will do the succesfull compiling of the dump i will do the cooking.

hello everybody
please share a simple Tornado ROM kitchen

WM6.1 Pro TESTs + 20931 kitchen - Updated 21.11.2008

Here are my other beta works, still have no time to finish them all
20931 kitchen - this is my attempt to port the 20931 chinese build to WWE since i crapped over the nk.exe I used helmis one for the port - this is the reason that the rom uses more ram than sun_dream's one, also touch scrolling is not working, IE6 is included but in order to make it work you need to install this cab, Flash Lite 3.1 is included, removed office, SQM, Transcriber, Windows Live, Welcome Center, IPSECVPN, and some more stuff which IMO is unneeded ... the rom so far is stable but IE6 and Flash lite work far worst than in let say 20753 for example .... try it on your own risk - it is unfinished port so you can encounter unpredicted bugs with it. You can change the kitchen the way you want but please include my nickname in the credits when you publish a roms made with it
Mirror - thanks to Kraven
enjoy
19915 rom - UC capable (included cabs) - password blueangel
20226 rom - my latest WM7 looks inside (includes Word and Excell in rom) - uses the old method for extrom (included cabs) - no password protection
Megaupload Mirror 20226 - thanks to kraven
20273 rom - the same as above (no cabs included for the extrom but you can use the ones from my previous rom) - no password for the archhive - in this rom i have slightly modified a lot of oem resources with a lightweight version in order to make this rom usable even without extrom
Megaupload Mirror 20273 - thanks to kraven
EXTROM only
Megaupload EXTROM Mirror - thanks to kraven
for my latest roms i have removed SQM, and customer experience sh** in order to lighten a lil the rom and protect personal information to be sent to microsoft
I keep it clean as i can

Lets keep Blueangel alive

Bugs
WMV playing slowdown - disable ATI bitmap caching will solve this (you can do it in TCPMP options - this is the easyest way i will make a cab for it later)

Hi, what is the meaning of the pagepool? I see lot of values but I don't understand how useful it is.
Is the WLanFix from the previous version added to this one or I have to use that fix?
Thanks a lot for your work, I'm flashing now

all the fixes are included into the rom so none of them are needed after flashing this one

Downloading ........ >> 14/4 Installed & working great
Thanks xplode .... like ur wm6 so much >> 14/4 Like it .... my first WM6.1

Well, the best Wm6.1 rom I've tried. Wifi works fine even with my WPA-PSK TKIP conection. Bluetooth and irda works fine (with version 209 from pdaviet I had some problems with BT)
Installed part of your previous extrom and all ok.
It's fast very fast. Great work man, great work.
Maybe someone knows how can I build a spanish rom? I've seen german and italian roms, so I'd like to have a spanish rom.
Once again, GREAT WORK man

wich .NET Version is this ?
is it necessary to enable the speedup patch ?

other download sites
the rapidshare guys are really irritating and keep u waiting for long....could u use some other site
thanks

thanks again for the super work, xplode!
would it be possible for you to extract the file explorer from the pdvh rom and place it here? i believe it's more advanced.

All WM6.1 roms by default have .NET CF 2.0 SP2, and i will stick to it for now, stock settings are better
the file explorer is called GSFinder you can find it in the thread of my WM6 rom 1933

thanks, i got it.

@ xplode
Sir, please upload the rom on another mirror

There are no words to describe this incredible work. The ROM works fine.I hope that there are no problems with the phone.
I'm flashing now.

i am uploading it now to megaupload

it´s a great rom, too.
but there is still a media player bug.
playing videos is terrible.
seems to be a buffering problem.
hope this will be fixed in the next rom.
playing mp 3 work perfect now !

can you upload sample video to test this bug ?

sorry, i think i can´t.
because it´s a dvd i convert to .wmv, so i can´t share it, because there is a copy right on it and i don´t want to do something illegal.
the first 5 minutes are very buggy, then everything work perfectly.
have already test it on a wm 2003 ppc, there everything work perfect.

well can you encode other video just for test with the same settings

just search for .wmv file using google and find this page.
http://www.werbeclips.net/
there you can download small .wmv videos.
i test to play one of the videos, and there is the bug !
the first 10 seconds the picture doesn´t change, so you just hear the sound.
after 10 seconds everything work correct.

tryed it , disabling bitmap cache for ati imageon solves the problem
