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But the ROMkitchen is out of date.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've sent these snapshots off to Stefan, along with the files that I thought might be necessary for these programs. This is going to be great for all of us, but a lot of work for Stefan. We all owe him a great deal, so take him out for a nice meal the next time you see him.

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?

xxxx://www.zxxxu.com/download/3320666/6.5Beta1.rar.html
Based on Sundreams and Xplode´s work, ringtones and kitchen from Swampy and other bits credit to their respective authors
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
ExtROM:
http://www.zxxxu.com/download/3323355/ExtROM_6.5.rar.html
ExtRom contains:
1-AudioManager_2.0.1819.3326.cab
03_HTC_Album_2.0_1818.3829.4.cab
14_BnG_M2D_0.11.allDevKnobiSkin.cab
01_HTC_Enchasements.CAB

not works
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?
Regards,
George
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

Mediafire is better than them all, because it doesn't require anything and it doesn't have any limits, or time counters!
See first post for updated files and download links
Ok I have opted for ziddu, see first post
Feel free to re-upload it to your favourite site and post the links for the community´s benefit
good job bloomy, it's very stable rom.
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

manilla2d means tf2d so you already have it. you need manilla2d customizer to install the skins.

The link you downloaded has already given clear instructions hoe to install the team. Please read .....
reproduced here
"The below skins are in ZIP, CAB or M2DCT format, if its a ZIP just copy its contents to the Windows folder, CABs are simply installed and M2DCT need Manilla 2D Customizer by mpenguin14 , its a theme manager with preview and much more! Some of these skins were made for previous versions of M2D so, for maximum compatibility use the M2DC."
ok but I don't have any windows folder on my phone. Should I create one?

There is, but you can not see it due to some configuration on your PC (system files are hidden probably)..
Another easy way; you can copy temporarily to any folder, then in order to move to windows folder, you can use PPC's own file explorer or utulise another file manager soft which is better -if you do not have, install it first- called "resco" or "total commander".
I am also a Turkish, if you need more help PM to me..
My active syn programm allways made a mistake, so I downloaded this Windows Mobile-Center 6.1 for Windows Vista. It works this time but when I connect my phone to pc it doesn't recognize my phone. It says no connection?
I don't mean to *****.. But if you can't get something basic like conencting your phone to your pc top work and i guess are unable to use the search on this site let alone google, i think you shouldn't mess around with customising your phone.. You *could* really mess it up if you don't know what your doing.

Can anybody tell me how much memory will this theme take up I only got 24 mb of ram if I installed this how much will I get after installation? Thanks
if you have spb mobile installed this theme will take around 1mb since it only replaces the exisiting files of spb mobile.

Mirror :

thx alot will try it out now =D
how come it doesnt works on my prohet???
you must install spb mobile to main memory, then install this theme to main memory as well.
If your spb mobile is not installed on main memory then maybe that is why it wont work, in that case you will have to copy the files manually into your spb mobile shell directory.
oh i didnt have spb mobile installed, can u paste me the link here too?

Great theme!
How did you make the theme and how was it adopted for mobile shell!?
I looks awsome and works like a charm!!
Is there a tool for making theese great themes or can we depend on you
to make more themes for us!?!? ;-)
// Ohamn
I Installed SPB Mobile and this theme, but the theme is the original that comes with SPB Mobile. How do I change it?
Can you provide the rar with the files to replace? I think the .cab is not working and I'd like to try to replace directly.
