I'm working on this project for months (or is it already a year ???) now and this is after all a Quick Peek of the almost "Beta".
It's a GUI for the platformrebuilder.exe with additional functions for editing and new diagnostic functions.
It will be possible to extend the app with plugins (for all devs interested devs, the plug-in API will be public).
The main app is written in mixed code (managed and unmanaged c++), but plugins must be managed (VC++, VC, VB, ...)
All plugins and the GUI support translation... just need to make a new localization.en-us.xml for your language
Ok, pics tell more than words

Packages:
- enable or disable packages
- Show content of packages, rename files or set file attributes, delete files, ...
- rename/delete packages
... and so on
Registry Preview:
- builds a preview of the registry, like it will be on the device after flashing the rom
- includes .reg, .rgu, .provxml files
- filters for: reg, provxml and XIP, SYS, OEM, EXT
- it will show warnings or errors if there are any in the source files
- you can see if one package is overwriting registry entries of another package
... and so on
File Preview:
- builds a preview of files on the device, like it will be on the device after flashing the rom
- includes .dat, .provxml files
- filters for: dat, provxml and XIP, SYS, OEM, EXT
- it will show warnings or errors if there are any in the source files
- you can see if one package is overwriting a file of another package
... and so on
Settings:
- Main settings and settings for the plugins
- Plug-in version information
Output:
- Shows the output of platformrebuilder.exe
- Also plugins can make new output containers, on this pic you see the output of the Execution plug-in (it is executing CreateRom.bat right now)
This is another simple plug-in. Allows you to change the Shadow order of the packages... This plug-in adds a menu entry to the Tools menu
there is no release date yet, because I don't know how much time I'll have to work on this... beside my family and studying
Best regards bepe
Wow. That looks great.
I sure wish we could get something like that for Samsung phones.

there will also be an update for platformrebuilder.exe, fixing some problems that it had with some non HTC devices.
This GUI is basically for all WM devices that can flash custom roms, just making the OS file system... plug-ins can build the right rom then.
this looks great
btw, thanks in advance (Transaction ID: 7X029103UB793424L) for another masterpiece
Excellent!!!!!
hoping release as soon as possible!
cool~~~
wait for it
you are so great ,Bepe.we like your genius works.
This will be purely for rom building right, not for dumping roms per se?

Great works brother !
Can't wait for build rom with your new kitchen !
Keep it up

Will this kitchen protect all the roms?
Like prb ? remove all the .reloc section of modules ?
Is there any way to turn off the option?
I like your kitchen, but i dont like to protect my rom.
Fantastic!
U are the Man.
WOW!!!!! I always think that you are an alien
It is awsome a simple preview of the files? its amazing I wonder if this New GUI could do some changes to the initflashfiles I mean... maybe if I want a shortcut here or there i could make it mannually and it affects directly to the initflash, (maybe its an impossible idea hehe ) but seeing the images like an emulator I can imagine so much things.
Hope the kitchen has the same improvements as the Ervius and new tools that Da_G is working on... to make the process faster but this is a fantastic idea and its looking good.
Congrats man! a donation coming soon... to support the work

Sweet, can't wait to give it a whirl when it's ready.
Slightly off topic, but since it's based on platformrebuilder, it's probably ok. Your old buildOS works great, but I can't get platformrebuilder to run provxml's after boot (ref here). I went through the normal steps to try to get it working, will this change file attribs and all that during boot time?

Hihi, I was wondering if there was a tool that would convert ROMs in the ASUS .abi format into to HTC's .nbh format? (The HTC bit is correct right?)
If you're wondering why, it's so us folks with ASUS device's can use that good Ol' OSKitchen!
Although obviously, if you know of another method to use this kitchen with ASUS ROMs, by all means, let me know!
Any help would be apprepciated, so shoot!
Thanks!
I'm not familiar with the Asus formats, but I assume during cooking you turn the ABI in to an OS.NB? If that's the case, you should be able to use the OS.NB in OSKitchen, and then convert it back to an ABI later.
Ahhhhh, I've been silly haven't I!
I have to split the .abi into os.nb0 and extrom.img with p835abisplit2.exe when I use my normal kitchen!
Thanks for making me realise my mistake!!
I'm considering this solved, so the mods can close it if needs be.

I can easily add nb0 support to oskitchen but will that device work or does it have one of the native kernels that cause platformrebuilder to crash?
I've imported the os.nb0 from my Xda Zest (Asus P565) stock rom into oskitchen, and everything worked fine!
oskitchen built the rom fine, platformrebuilder didn't show any errors or anything and the rom booted, so I'd say it doesn't have one of the native kernels that cause it to crash.

I used the import wizard that pops up, and it imported fine.

There are lot of different NB0/BIN files but the one that the tool you used extracted seems to be a NB0 with all the extra data removed, usually those have to be converted to nb with osnbtool -sp to clean the exta data.

I think I see what you mean,
You're saying you might add support for NB0s with all the extra data removed?
And while you're here,
My EXT Packages tab is empty in oskitchen, is it supposed to be?

No I meant I had to add support to rebuilding the NB0 with extra data, your one doesn't need the extra data so it works fine.
Yes the EXT packages are empty because other manufacturers cram everything inside the OEMMisc package. With non-HTC phones you have to sort things up by yourself and it takes a lot.
Ah, I get you now!
What is the extra data though by the way?
Yeaah, my OEMMISC folder is such a mess!
Some things are in there like MMS and EziPhoto and other Asus apps, and there are loads of other things in the extrom.img.
It's all rather confusing.
jonnymint said:

It's data the tools don't understand so it's usually stripped and put back in form of padding.

Well at least part of the stuff is removable directly by emptying the extended rom, phones like the omnia where tons of applications are crammed in oemmisc are a mess to handle.

That's a good point actually.
I emptied my extended rom using winimage, very easy indeed!
What happens if I just delete the OEMMISC folder?
Would that leave me with, if I build it, a 'blank' (as in no oem customisations) rom?
Or would it not boot?

If the camera and other applications aren't store there probably you would get a clean working ROM.
Haha, yeah the cameras in there.
I took everything else out and it all worked fine so my OEMMisc folder is now tidy, so to speak!
And I can add in all the cabs I need using the package converter in oskitchen.
I've now cooked my first customised(ish) rom! Yaay.
I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help.
Thanks so much!!

Hello (^^,)
I'm just curious to see who uses what around here. Soooo as the title says
I use EVK.
Made the switch from EVK to OSkitchen a while ago and have to say it has some cool funtions. cooks fast, easy to understand interface and Airxtreme updates it alot.
If you havent tried it yet i would definitely give it a go

I have done the same.
+1 for EVk because i started with that...... but all new cookers use os kitchen its easy to understand etc....
Oskitchen here. (although the older 1.3 as am having problems with the newer ones for some reason).
Sheer simplicity of use makes it easier for relative noobs like me.

I'm using Ervius Kitchen because of it's useful tools such as integrated search between files.
I use OSBuilder by Barin over at asusmobile.ru
It is pretty amazing. You can create your own packages.sof & packages.cif. You can do everything from the kitchen. Right click on an OEM and you can edit the provxml, rgu, dsm or initflashfiles.txt. You have the ability to set what gets deleted from the OEMxipkernel & MSxipkernel. You can also do a Initflashfiles.dat preview, a registry preview (including provxmls) and packages & registry build order preview. Let me know if you need some links.
On latest osKitchen and man its rocket speed on my server !
A full 24626 build takes me around 1 min 45 seconds
[03:38:10] New ROM generation process started for the device "HTC Leo"

No kitchen (some time refer to classical kitchen) for Acer S200
I'm kinda interested to see who doesn't use a visual kitchen...
I use old style kitchen (XIPPort + optional BuildOS)
For ultimate control, and better built roms, I use Barin's OS Builder.

Looks pretty sweet in your case, as you produce such a variety of ROMs. Now you have them all on one screen. Perhaps when I'm more experienced I'll try writing my own kitchen

Hi guys,
Need some help on this one. I recently moved to OS Kitchen. Must say pretty impressive. Still exploring it but i faced an issue. i did not change the sys and simple imported my EVK packs and sys(i hope so). When i build using evk, everything is fine, but when i cook using OS Kitchen i face some issues:
1. The resolution on text and some popup displays is small as in below pics.
2. The softkey font is in bold. earlier it used to be normal.

If anyone knows a specific reason or a workarnd then do help. thanx
Same thing happened to me with the small text, but I haven't had time to figure it out. I just added some oboe stuff and 23132, but left most things the same as a build in oskitchen without those issues. Will keep an eye on this thread .

Small fonts - this issue is related to the folder structure required for OS Kitchen. In "0409" you will find some packages which are not "0409". Transfer it to "Common" and, no more small fonts.
Bold fonts - This issue is related to the latest WM releases, and, it is on purpose (not a bad idea). The only remedy I know - integrate some files from older COM5 releases. IMHO it is a questionable solution that risks instability by mixing different branches. Better become use to bold.
Hope it helps.

Hi mate..
this appened because when you rebuild your rom with Ervius kitchen
all dsm in all pack in sys are eliminated,
if you have import sys build from EVk to Os,there will be no dsm
required to Os Kitchen

the sys packs in evk have dsm files. so this time i imported sys from the evk folder using oskitchen. but still same issue.
I had this issue with OSB one time, and willysp said he had the issue too.
We basically altered "packages.sof" to rearrange the SYS folders, the order in which they are processed.
Once untouched it was just fine. But it just dont like that SYS order to be messed with.

Test on ELL ROM ver ALL OK
until now...
got the same error as af974 (dumped fresh Leo s 3.14 ship rom and change any options, non implant xip method)
however what a dramatic increase in build process..
took 3 minutes to reach to the imgfs from dump part while it usually takes 10-20 mins on this busted up laptop..

Now it would be interesting know how come that Sternas did get the error.

Prerequisites:
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (Windows Vista / Windows 7 have it pre-installed)
Usage:
Really simple to use as a GUI:
Code:
Click the button [...] - Select file to convert - Click the relevant button [-->%new_file_type%] - Done!
It also works without even launching it. Just drag n' drop a file on the XrMeLg.exe and have it converted!
<=>
In cli you can have a file converted by typing :
Code:
XrMeLg.exe %file%
Command line usage to convert all provxml files at a given path to reg files:
Code:
XrMeLg.exe r:%path_to_look_for_provxml_files%
The application automatically does a backup of the processed file(s) inside a folder named "Files" in the directory where it is located.

Great Tools, Thank you for sharing.
hey,
very nice tool, thx for sharing.
Now the BUT part or maybe just a hint..
I have converted regkeys to provxml where some registry keys should be removed. But your converter wont translate it to provxml. The reg entries will be just skipped.
Example: [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Kamera.lnk]
Usually this would remove the key, but the converter skipps this part.

Thanks guys for testing this.
I made a typo in the string that the application searches and instead of
[-HKEY_...
I had
-[HKEY_...
Thank you Greg for noticing it
v.1.2.0.0 attached at 1st post is a revised version of the app to fix this issue.
Regards!
Thanks for the update!
Haven't tried yet, but I cook a lot so it will be useful later for sure
thanx for the update. Now this is working great!
Ye typos, the first place i take a look on if something goes wrong with my stuff
Hey,
When I use your tool in command line, it does not work...
I type XrMeLg.exe :rC:/BlaBlaBla/someFolder/
And this does not work...

Hi,
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The switch is r: NOT :r.
I will correct the 1st post.
So if you type:
Code:
XrMeLg.exe r:C:\BlaBlaBla\someFolder
it will work but don't expect any console output!
Just check the Files folder and you should find the reg files there.
Regards!
Thanks for sharing this tool

I'm glad to give something back (even this small).
I've found a little bug regarding provxml --> reg usage, so there is an updated version @ 1st post.
Regards!
Thanks, I will try this.
Great work, as usual from you! I don't think I would have learned to cook roms without your kitchen either!
I think I was using CeRegEditor to do the conversions before, but this looks way more convenient to use. You may want to compare.
Very useful tool, thanks for sharing!

My old friend from the "elfin good old times",
allow me to borrow the phrase from Laurentius signature:
I'm learning from you, you are learning from me. TOGETHER IS POWER !!!

Hi,
for some reasons I often need to convert a bulk of REG-files to PROVXML-files. Hence my question: Can you provide a version of your tool that offers a related command line parameter, ex. '"p" instead of "r"?
THX for reading.
