Hello XDA users....
I think you know it all, that the ROMkitchen is a fine application to get our device nearly perfect.
But the ROMkitchen is out of date. This means many applications aren´t not in the actual version. Therefore Auburnham and I thought to update the applications.
The problem is, that the amount of added applications to the kitchen is to big to make this happen by us two. Because of this problem I´m searching for some people, which wants to help.
Another problem is, that you need for this a device that haven´t got installed that piece of software. This means that when you want to help me with Phonext for example, you must have a device without any version of Phonext installed.
So, if you are going to help me make a snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Install the software.
Make again an Snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Send these two files to [email protected] with inforamtion about the program you have installed and the exact Version you have installed.
When I´ve got analyzed the two files i will reply to you with a wishlist of files that have been created on your device. After sending me the files, i can update the kitchen....
IF there are any quesions or anything else, feel free to contact me....
Regards
Stefan
Good Idea :
I'd be happy to contribute.
Tell me which application you want me to install and I'll do it provided that I find the procedure (that I've seen being posted elsewere in this forum).
NB : I'm using XDA I with a Frenchy 3.16 and be stuck with it :evil: ; so there is no chance for me to re-build a new a geniun 3.16 Rom again.
My XDA is all up and running.
I've overcome my Language FRA error message after purchasing a SD card reader and loading the ROM through the bootloader. 8)
Now, I'm about to install ttn 3 on my XDA. Do you want list it in your kitchen ?
What do you need exactly ?
I would be happpy to help. I am a regular user of your site and appreciate the effort that has been put into it.
I understand the effort needed to keep things working and up to date.
Pierre
I'm in!!
Just let me know what you need and when and I will maker every endevour to help.
Thanks for all you do

I don't want to make this any more complicated than it is, but for some programs, it just doesn't make any sense to install to the XDA memory. Most of the media players and "Misc" programs just take up too much unnecessary device memory when they would work just as well on the SD Card (if that's available).
The problem is that those huge programs require just a few small files to be placed on the device itself. So after installing a few of these types of programs, you've used up a lot of device memory from these small files, even though you installed the program to your SD Card.
Is there a way to alter the kitchen a bit to allow cooking of the necessary device files only, and allow the user to later install the program to the SD Card (being careful not to overwrite the files in ROM with files in RAM)?
For instance, with the TomTom program, if you start with a clean ROM and SD card, take a snapshot, then install the program to your SD card, then take another snapshot, you could determine what files need to be on the device, and what files don't need to be on the device, and allow users to either cook the entire program or just the necessary files in the ROM. (Note: This is a good example of a run-on sentence). Would this be a difficult feature to add to the kitchen?

Maybe the esiest Option is adding a new Select Point for the kitchen like "misc", "System Tools", "Phone" ....
This means having the programs double in the kitchen, but how cares.
I don't know exactly, but when you install a program to the SD-Card, could you select the part where to place it?
If yes, this could be a big problem. Many of the programs store the path in the registry.
If no, i could also provide a ZIP-file, where the rest of the programfiles are in, hust to unzip to the Storagecard.....

I believe this really depends on (1) how well the program was written, and (2) if you can install the program with CabInst (i.e. has a cab installation).
For example, I try to keep my SD Card organized and tidy so if I use CabInst I install the program to an appropriate folder on the SD Card. If I have to install the program from the desktop, I install the program to the SD Card root, then try to move the program to an appropriate folder and update the shortcut. Most of the time this works without even changing any registry entries, but sometimes it doesn't. Two examples from the above list of applications are AOL Instant Messenger 2.0 and Pocketmind PocketMusic 3.0. To function correctly, they both need to be in their original installation folders on the SD Card.
But perhaps the best solution would be to have an associated .zip file to go on the SD Card, as you suggested.
Shawn
Now the kitchen should be up 2 date again.
Only missing is PocketConsole and the Part "Software that needs to register"
So happy cooking and again Thx a lot to all users that helped me.....
Stefan
A Windows-way for cooking a ROM would be great for two reasons: 1) Don't hassle your server with lots of traffic and 2) Practical. Advanced users could cook a ROM without having a PC with Unix.
For example I tried cooking the Spanish version of the ROM and not all the programs I chose were installed and the worst thing is that the boot logo was just garbage, it was showing program code on the screen as a logo

Marton

Ok. Fixed the problem with the bootscreen.....
Tried also adding as much application, and all have been installed.
Can you tell me, what files / programs are missing?
No one else told me that there have been a problem wirth this ROM. I think it's because of the situation that most of the useres are using WM2003 ROMS....
You can also use the kitchen under "Windows" just have to set up a Cyguin environment on your system....
Also i didn't know how many Kitchen's are implemented by other users, but mine one is the only "official". You can't believe that everyone would be able to set it up.......
Stefan
Thanks Stefan!!!!!!
Now it seems to work but if EzWAP is selected, it throws a Log error when trying to cook...
Cheers,
Marton
P.S.: Do you know if a Spanish WM2003 exists?
Edit: This is the error:
Cannot fit files in given sections
Error splitting files
Just cooked a ROM... I selected the "Windows Mobile XDA" Boot Screen and now it is not garbage anymore but now it shows mirrored and upside down...
Any ideas?

Also what is each 1 for,Thanks
I'm trying to find out the same thing. Hope someone can help.
Default_Backkeysound_RC10
Installs a MIDI file for Back Key
Default_Caller_ID_WWE_RC10
This is the Caller ID application (consumes memory, but necessary if you want pictures pop up when ppl call you)
Default_Delete_vdisk
Not sure about this one!
Default_imateV1.00.10
Installs the imate splash screen, plus some other imate visual customisations.
Default_JMM101257_wwe_1004
JAVA patch - Recomended to install
Default_KSE_Fax_v2.09_unremovable
TrueFax software, allowing you to send/recieve faxes - Consumes lots of memory.
Default_MMS_V2.0.0.16_WWE_1115
MMS patch. Without it MMS will not work properly!
Default_Patch_103_3
Not sure about this one. Name suggests it includes patches for the 1.03 ROM version. I would install it.
Default_Phonepad_WWE_RC10
IntelliPad software that allows you to search for names in the Phone app. I like this one.
Default_Smartdialing_WWE_RC11

What exactly is "back key"?
Just to complete:
Default_Delete_vdisk
Just makes the extended_rom invisible again.
Default_Patch_103_3
I've heard it updates the battery, radio and some other internals. Unless you have a problem I don't see the need - you can't shift this stuff from \windows so it will eat memory. Personally I'm just going to wait for the latest ROM update, then the above wll be out of date.
Default_Version_WWE_103143.sa
Updates some registry info, no practical effect that I know of.
Can't run LoadVDisk.exe
I can't run LoadVDisk.exe with my Mini, I can see the file but it won't run.
Is it locked ?
Or should I make changes with registry first ?
Thanks
Great thanks alot guys

You simply click on it! It doesn't display any message. Then you can access the extended_ROM...!!
Thanks guys great help. I personally did not install anything and my phone works still. Even without the patches. I will probably wait for rom update as well.
Hi all,
I've had my S100 for a week now. It came with ROM ver 1.06 (I think) and right on the 1st day I upgraded to 1.11 and finally decided to apply Anansky's Big Storage ROM. All work perfectly even with my Jabra BT800. I've been trying many different 3rd party software. As usual, after installing and deinstalling, my unit became unstable and therefore would like to start from scratch.
In XDA's ftp site there is a Qtek 1.11 Ext ROM zip file. At first I installed all, but I think I could do away with some. Based on the filenames, some are self explanatory but I don't know which ones I can do without. Could someone be kind enough to explain?
Delete_vdisk_shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB What does this do?
Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.CAB Selft explanatory
SmartDialing_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.CAB I've read in other threads that some don't install this when using sw like MSVoice Commands.
PhonePad_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC12.CAB I think this contains T9 and what else? How can I edit this file to remove unwanted languages other stuff?
CAB-ArcsoftMMS-20022-Magician-Generic-ENU-08Mar05.cab I believe this is essential, right?
CV2.41.386_WWE.CAB No clue. Is it essential?
JMM101257_WWE_1004.CAB No clue. Is it essential?
BTHUSB_PATCH_AKU26.CAB Self explanatory
Version_WWE_111129.sa.CAB What is it for? Is it essential?
And does anyone know of how to delete these .cabs? I hit soft reset before it autoloaded all of those above mentioned .cabs. IS it possible to delete them or at least make them non accessible?

If you have the Anansky ROM installed I don't think you will have the option to install the extended ROM when you do a hard reset, mine doesn't. You have to install the extended ROM seperately. You should have made a backup of your extended ROM before doing the Anansky hack. If you don't have it, maybe you can download it from the XDA ftp site. Remember only install .cab files, don't execute the autorun or you may wipe out your big storage. Even if you install all of the Ext. ROM files, they don't take up much space in the storage area (maybe 1.5 or 2 meg.) depending on your Ext. ROM.
Thanks for the responses but I would like some information from you experts on the following:
1. Which CAB files can I do away with and why?
2. How can I edit the PhonePad.CAB in order to remove unwanted languages? Any special software needed?
The Qtek 1.11 ExtROM found in this forum's FTP site has 9 CAB files. Some of them like the Caller ID is self explanatory, meaning this must definitely be installed if Caller ID is one of the functions one needs.
Hi Guys i own a imate JAMin that i bought and it has telstra branding on the phone/pda, it isnt locked to this carrier, but i need to get rid of there loaded stuff on the pda
what i need to know is a few things if possible please
1. is there a walk through somewhere on how to change the rom to a standard one
2. where can i download a new rom from
3. can i screw it up bad ?
any other help would be great
Thanks
t0ne
Easy, just download Total commander from http://www.ghisler.com/
Open it up and at the top type \Extended_Rom
This will show the contents of your extended rom, you will see loads of things but the ones you want are the cabs relating to your provider. Or all providers actually, Delete allt the cabs that dont start with Default_ these are what brand your device when you hard reset.
Now just hard reset, it will isntall all the normal stuff but will leave you with a brand free jamin.
Hi dannyoneill,
thanks for the program, only problem i have is how do i add the jamin to it so that i can see it and do what u r saying ?
thanks
You need to download and install Windows CE FS plug-in. You will then see a mobile device entry in the file window. I recommend dragging it to the toolbar so you will always have a button for convenient access (total commander can open files directly form the device).
Also I don't remember it now, but if you search this forum there is a registry tweak that will unhide your extended ROM so you can use it for extra storage space (and manipulate files in it using regular explorer both on device and PC). You can use the free PHM Registry editor to apply the tweak.
Just follow the instructions to install total commander onto your PPC. Make sure you click the link to the mobile version and not the desktop version.
thanks dannyoneill, got it working..
jsut a few other questions if u dont mind
im in the \Extended_Rom folder with the default stuff but the telstra stuff i want to get rid of has Default_Telstra_australia_SA_UN_V2.20.CAB and also Default_Australia_Telstra.CAB as the file names, will these be ok to delete still ?
thanks
Yes, you can delete them.
If you really want everything here is safe to delete. What it usually contains are patches like driver updates, applications like the backgammon, antivirus and Skype.
Below is taken from another post, its a little out of date but still good to see whats what. For me. I removed all the operators apart from my own (as it doesnt brand) plus got rid of backgammon, antivirus (totally useless on a PPC) and skype as the latest version is better (especially if you apply the registry fix to get it working)
Autorun.exe
Default_Backgammon_PPC_IMAM001.CAB >>> Backgammon
Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_Wiz_range.CAB >>> THE DREADED ANTI VIRUS STUFF
Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB >>> Clearview PDF
Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab >>> Some Imate stuff (Harmless)
Default_ie_view.sa.cab >>> Some Imate stuff (Harmless)
Default_Imate_PPC_SA_V5.5.03.cab >>> Some Imate stuff (Harmless)
Default_SkypeForPocketPCnonxScale.CAB >>> SKYPE FOR NONE XSCALE !!!
Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB >>> The pretty Dialer and smart-dialer stuff
Install_Tsk.exe >>> This Installs all the “Default_” Files
Setup.exe >>> This allows for Selection of the “Operator Settings”
These are the “Settings” which is not needed at least in the GULF STATES

Poll for sticking this 3d!
THANKS !!!

P.S.: may I install basic stuff to the ExtROM while it's hidden ?
Or, if I need to unhide it, install, then re-hide, will such software still playable ?
I mean for example:
- Total commander itself
- Resco explorer
- Storage tools
- Sprite Backup
- and so on...
Is it a strange idea ?
Thanks again for this illuminating thread.
You can unlock and install things no problem, not done it myself, done know if they will still be usable after its re-hidden i would think not.
The extended rom is reserved so empty or not its not going to give you more ram or rom storage at all. The best thing to do is unlock it and use it for storage. The annoying thing is if you hard reset you then have to re-unlock it.

Finally thanks to mikrosoft for providing an open source mobile platform, errr ok scrap that last bit...
FeatureS:
No Ram disk
UC Capable *
A few customized logos and ringtones (Simpsons, StarWars)
fully integrated psshutxp (REBOOT) and akwifitoogle (WIFI_ON_OFF) in Start menu
Screenlock in Start menu (once active press mail + calendar to unlock the screen)
Space invaders in Games
Autorun for ExtROM is working
*SDAutorun runs but .cabs have to be hardcoded to install on SD Card or else will be installed in Storage
Tips:
Do not install CHome and manila2d together as they don´t like each other.
Use the WIFI_ON_OFF program if having trouble with wlan, it can be very handy
Known issues:
Given that CHome is still buggy I recommend to stick to manila2D (and it is part of the ExtROM file included)
GSPlayer complains on first run about being unsigned and hence unable to run, but second time works
I tried to load newer versions of Manila and HTC Album but both .cabs wouldn´t load

hi, this rom is not works, i try it.
this may be off topic - but i am new to the world of PDA's and cooked ROMS - so far i have used sundreams WM6.1 and now have WM6.5
Could someone please explain to me what the RAMDISK is all about? - and why so many people refer not to have it?
it is a virtual disk eating your ram
It is good for other PDAs where for technical reasons if you don´t have the ramdisk you simply waste that space.
In the Blue angel there is no such problem, so no ramdisk equals more ram
Download site not working
Hi Gloomy,
Is there any site where I can download your latest ROM?

I Don't download this files beacause...
dear sir,
thank you for your rom , bu when I try to download this file from rapidshare , this message shows for me :
"This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.
To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector's Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector's Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information."
if it possible, please reupload this file.
very very thank you for your attention.
This weekend I will cook another 6.5 hopefully this time UC capable.
I am afraid in rapidshare it can only be downloaded 10 times.
If somebody knows of a better upload site that does not require registration, please let me know

Any guidance on installation procedure - explicit and simple instructions?
QUOTE=superflyboy;3239489]Any guidance on installation procedure - explicit and simple instructions?[/QUOTE]
create folder ExtROM in your SDCard
unpack the content of the ExtROM.rar file on this folder (should be containing .cab and a few other files=
put BA in serial mode
run BaUpgradeUt.exe to flash the rom
hard reset once it finishes
Then let the instalation continue, should be 5 more minutes.
Your phone will soft-reboot automatically
and you will be presented with the manila2d interface
Hi all,
Sorry I've been away on a kind of post-graduation hiatus. I have a few remaining commitments this summer that will keep me busy, but I intend to update my released ROMs as follows:
1. Use latest OEM updates from HP's May 2009 official update.
2. WM6.1: update a few apps, remove a few, and switch .NET CF back to 2.0
3. WM6.5: update SYS to build 21725.
4. Scale back "motherload" packages to a standard release setup, "BR ROM"
I can't promise delivery times on this stuff, but if anybody has additional suggestions for the ROMs or new info, I'm happy to hear from them.
Thanks,
-Ben
thank you !!! waiting for your new rom !!!!
I am glad to see your post here.
I am looking forward to meeting new ROM.
hey welcome back, i wonder why you would switch .net cf to 2.0? any issue with .net cf 3.5?
Hi bro nice to see you back again. now our 9x series will rock actually bro its great if you use latest HP update with you own stuff. so basically u have to make something fast and stable. by including useful apps. like
task manager with corner icon on today for closing apps easily. and some other major stuff which is important. you can see some Roms stuff of HTC WIZARD or any other and then compare it with ur Roms. and u can make fully loaded roms as well as light versions as well. as u know ur the best cooker. so wish u good luck.
just try to fix some minor bugs in HP Roms for 9x..
Take care..
Regards
T_T what a touching moment~ god Ben is finally back to us^^
i just got wm reminder today says "the copy of your wm6.5 software is expiring with 30 days, on 1st of july"...... so is that means m$ is pushing us to flash new rom before july, lol~
so far, the 21500 rom seems quite stable on the device, so just keep everything cool~
one small question: how can make the VoiceCMD button back to working (not the software, just the button, i love to assign it as 'task manager')
so, thank you so much Ben in advance, take your time (one month should be enough)
i'll check this post frequently

Hi
im also one of the users that looks for the lightest rom
Anyway if I may suggest something I always wanted to do (maybe one day I will)
but you can be the first to do so
Mega light Rom
First I will explain something I used to call "HR installation"
On the 64mb ram devices I used to save memory (rom and ram) by installing all apps to storage card
then HR my device
and then for every installed app make a shortcut from the "storage card/program file/app-name.exe" to "windows/start menu/programs" (copy exe and paste "shortcut to…" )
any app you have/add in your rom will take device memory
most apps can work directly from storage card (not apps with plugins)
what I'm suggesting is for you to install all the apps you want to the card
then hr your device and make all exe shortcuts of the apps
Cook only the shortcuts into the rom
now you make your rom clean with no apps
the apps that must have plugins can be cooked into the rom or be given as a cab file
(most apps can be found as a cab on xda)
MS office
not all users use MS office on there WM device
MS has issued office 6.1 as an update that can be installed to the card
(I have the cab for wm5 devices)
So you can issue it as a cab only or using the "HR Installation"
But if you use the HR installation for office you must assign all doc/docx to this exe (by using this freeware
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-openwith-v0-1.html
or resco explorer)
What will happen?
when you issue your rom you will give the
1 the clean rom
2 the "program file" folder of your storage card
3 cabs folder
What will the user do?
1 install your rom
2 copy your "program file" folder into the storage card
3 tap on the shortcut he wants from the program screen
(If he doesn't tap on the shortcut it is as if he didn’t install)
This way you can add a lot of apps option but rom will be light and every user will decide what he wants only by tapping on the shortcut
This way of installing is a lot lighter then full installation
Can be improved
You can also add a link (ink) for the file explorer called "shortcuts manager " that will be located "windows/start menu/programs" and will point the file explorer directly to windows/start menu/programs
By tapping on "shortcuts manager" icon the user will be directly where unused shortcuts can be deleted
Such rom will be the lightest and I think the fastest
nice.. can't wait for the update.
well bro also u can use some latest apps in roms. like facebook windows live . some nice task manager. some other tweaking tools mostly used in other devices. so the best is to check some other devices rom postings to get more knowledge of apps and users requirements.
some battery fixes . some registry fixes and tweaking.
specially for most common uses like phone and sms or mms. which need perfection.
and best of luck. i know u will do great job. U ROCK
You do some great work around here. I've only been here for a short while with my 910c... but already your threads have been time and/or life savers...!
A suggestion - I don't know if it's possible, but there are a few registry tweaks around that help increase battery life on the 91x series (see other threads for info). It might be worth while to try and incorporate those into a ROM. I've already manually fixed mine... but a ROM that did it from the start would be golden!
Any news?
Any news on the new ROM?
July the 1st is approaching and I'm getting worried about having my Ipaq 914c blocked
Thanks again
