Hi, This thread is only for people who to actually learn, if you follow the thread, you will be able to Cook, don't just download OsKitchen and press some buttons and complain because it didn't work!
So then, if you are intrested in learning, read on

I Put A Lot Of Time And Effort Into These Tut's, So If I Have Helped You, Help Me And Donate Here
Installing OsKitchen And Adding Your Device
OK, this post is for installing OSKitchen on your PC, so first, some requirements
A Windows PC
1 GB + of RAM
600MB+ HDD Space
1.4 GHZ Dual Core Processor or 2.2 GHZ Single Core (Any better will work fine)
Windows XP/Vista/Se7en
A Stock ROM for your HTC Phone
An Internet Connection
If you have lower than these requirments (Hardware wise) OSKitchen will still run, but these were the mininum I could get it running and cooking at a decent speed.
So, to start off, go HERE to download the kitchen, the screen should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click the link, when downloaded, you should have the file shown here:
Open it, there should be a .EXE and a Folder named "Resources", the structure should be:
Now go to one of your HDD's and create a folder:
Extract them using the extract button in the sidebar (XP) or the menu bar (Se7en & Vista), extract them to your new folder (Kitchen, in my case):
When they have extracted, your new folder should look like this:
Next, Run osKitchen.EXE as and Administrator, right click "Run As Admin" for Se7en and Vista, Admin logon for XP, you will get the following window:
I have filled it in already, but you mus locate your Stock ROM and select your Device. Click next, the build imports and this window appears:
I have allready filled mine in, it isn't like that by default.
When you see this screen
You Have Installed OSKitchen!
What Are SYS's, OEM's And Other Meaningless 3 Letter Words?
Ok, so I lied, there are some 6 and 2 letter words, but anyway, this is the Jargon thread, I will list as many definitions as I can remember here.
SYS - The core files that make up Winmo
XIP - A series of core drivers that control the hardware access and the layout of WM itself, it is a long term storage section that doesn'y copy itself into the RAM of the Device
OEM - Drivers and tweaks from the OEM (HTC)
ROM - The read only memory inside the device, this is where the Winmo OS is stored
REG - A Registry entry
DSM - A file that tells the kitchen where everything in that package should go
SPL - A bootloader
NBH - The image file that you flash to the device
NB - A section of the NBH, it could be OS.NB, Splash.NB, Radio.NB, SPL.NB, ExtROM.NB, and others on older devices
NAND - Some devices such as the Diamond and the Omnia 1 have a secondary file store, a built in MicroSD card that is a very high speed
Adding New EXT Packages
Ok, so this post shows you how to add Cabs and applications to your ROM, so they are pre installed when you first turn on the device
So, stuff you need:
A CAB File
OSKitchen Setup
OK, so you need to use OSKitchen to generate a EXT package, for this we use the package converter, so, you need to click this button:
This brings up this window
You need to select "CAB Installer File / HTC ROM Hotfix" and fill in the boxs with the relevant information. Your window should look like this (But with a different CAB)
Now you need to click "Convert", it will now make a copy of the CAB, extract the files and REG keys, and will extract them and lay them out in a folder that can be cooked in. You should be presented with this popup bubble after a few seconds
Click OK, then go and check your EXT folder, and you should find your EXT
You have converted your CAB!
Customising
Reserved 5
Adding New SYS Bulids
So Da_G, Tom_Codon or Andrew_SH have released a new build, AND YOU WANT IT, you need to be able to port, so, this post will show you how to do that
So, what you need:
OSKitchen
A Build from The Chef Central release thread (Andrew_SH), Da_G Porting thread or Tom_Codon @ HTCPedia
So, depending where you got your build from, you have to select the correct Dump layout. Andrew uses a ErviusVK Dump, Tom has HTCPedia Dump and Da_G Has a XDA Rollup. These Pics were made with OSKitchen 1.26, so the ErciusVK Dump option is missing, but the principles are the same.
So, open up the EXE in "Import", it's called "Import a new Windows Mobile build", you will get this window:
Fill it in
When you click "Start Importing", the window changes to this:
When the process is complete, this popup window will apear
Click OK
You Have Imported A New Build :-D

havent had much chance to read through properly but freaking sweet man, been talking bout this on twitter with a mate on learning this looking forward to learning
This kitchen is very simple. But i can't understand, how can i use another mui? I create folder 0419 and place here all resources. Then in kitchen I choose language and evrything seems OK, but when ROM boot, only top taskbar appare. And nothing else happen.
With English OEM evrything OK. So, what can i missed?
BTW, how to add no2chem kernel in this kitchen?
Sorry for my English.
i guess you need to ask in the old kitchen thread tutorial... or if you have this new one wait for the guy to finish
this is a brill idea, both for noobs and old hands
If I can offer any help let me know

I have a couple of issues with this thread.
1. Donations on XDA are NOT "compulsory". Please remove that line from your list of requirements.
EDIT: Done
2. Please refrain from using HUGE fonts in your posts. A smaller font will get the point across just fine, just use common sense.
Thanks for doing that
3. The post where you explain what the "other meaningful words" are... please research what they actually mean, before posting an official tutorial on their use. Examples: "XIP - I have no idea, but it doesn't work without them" and "ROM - The device's HDD" are not acceptable.
Doing those now, Done
Good luck and let's hope this turns into a nice tutorial.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to a great, pictorial, step-by-step guide on how to create your own ROMs.
Now, I need some advice please. When I use the osKitchen Import Wizard to import the official ROM I get this error:
Does anyone know why?

OK Guys, this is now done
Let the chaos commence

Paul over at MoDaCo is starting to get some interest in a new application he's developing - basically it involves developers providing some XML with their installer that ties in with some similar XML on the applications' download page on their web server.
When a new version is released, the XML on the download page is updated, "AppToDate" will check the download server and you'll be able to see that a new version is available.......
AstraWare, Developer One and SK-Tools have already expressed an interest in making their software work with "AppToDate".......what are you waiting for!?!?!
I'll stop babbling, this is what Paul posted over at MoDaCo "AppToDate"
I have a dream! OK, so it's not quite as ground breaking as some other dreams of our time, but it's a dream none the less. It goes something like this...
I have a whole bunch of software on my device. Probably 15 apps at least. I also write software, which is downloaded by a fair few people, both commercial and free. I like to ensure that my software on my device is up to date with the latest versions, and it's a right pain in the ****. Not only that, I'd like my end users to have the latest versions installed to get the best possible experience... and to facilitate that I have to write a custom update checker into each of my applications. Fine for big apps, not great for quickly rustled up apps or tweaks.
But there could be another way.

What if you could have an application that lived on the device, that wasn't tied to any one application or vendor, that could check for updates for everything installed on your device? IMHO, that would be awesome. A dream. For such an approach to work, you'd need a few things...
Someone to write the update application, and to develop it. A community project perhaps?
The update application MUST be FREE for end users and developers
The update application MUST be easy for developers to plug in to
The application needs to be used by end users!
Freeware developers need to use the application!
Commercial developers need to use the application!
Now here comes the audience participation part - if you are a user, would you like to see such an application? If you are a developer - either freeware or commercial - would you like - and would you use - such an application? Make your voice heard here, and if there's an appetite for this, let's make it happen! I'll be updating this topic to list developers who would like to be involved.
Oh, I forgot to mention... I've basically written the update application! It's simple, has plenty of scope for future development, can update itself (of course) and in order to be used by a 3rd party, just needs an XML file dropped into the updater directory from your install CAB, and a current version XML on your server!
Beautiful! The response to this topic will determine how much time I spend on getting it production ready

Lend your support to this - with all the updates for various applications flying around, it's an almost impossible task to know if you're running the latest and greatest version - hopefully it will grow into a REALLY useful tool.
Thanks for listening
Mark.
This would also work well for new versions of everyone's favorite rom's....

Beta version suitable for app developers, ROM chefs and 'cabbers' now at http://apptodate.modaco.com
Free of course for developers AND end users, and I know at least a couple of chefs who are planning to cook it into the ROM (I'll be offering an OEM package early next week to supplement the existing CAB).
Come on over and get involved, let's get everyone supporting this!
P
Great work modaco..will look at it
WMWifiRouter will support this with the next release.
I have now releaed a version with the necessary configs to enable ROM update notifications.
ROM chefs: please contact me if you have any questions re: cooking into the ROM and notifying your users of updates!
Note that via the stats mechanism, you can watch how many people are checking for updates on your ROM!
P
Hey modaco..im cooking my ROM so i would like to use your wonderful app in it..kindly PM me the instructions or post it here..i would also like u tell me how to integrate stats mechansim
Check your PM!
P
Sounds like a great idea, but one slight problem I have with it is: if the app is not hosted on it's own website, what can be done?
I haven't had time to dig any deeper than reading this, although I'm now going to look at the "Official site" and see what info I can get.
All you need to be able to host is 1 XML file somewhere!
P
Now... How can I get this into a ROM?
- Get the CAB from here: http://www.modaco.com/content/AppToDate/267096/Download-AppToDate/
- Extract the AppToDate.exe
- Put AppToDate.exe in \Windows
- Create your ROM XML file (see below)
- Use initflashfiles to put your XML file in \Application Data\AppToDate
- Host your ROM file online in the URL you put in the XML
When you update your ROM, simply increment the version number in the online XML, and people will see the notification!
When you have this done, let me know and i'll give you your stats URL!
Here's what the XML (e.g. l3v5y.rom.1.xml) will look like:
Code:
<application>
<name>l3v5y's ROM</name>
<version>1.0</version>
<description>You are using the first release ROM version. Keep checking back for updates!</description>
<versionurl>http://www.mysite.com/apptodate/l3v5y.rom.xml</versionurl>
</application>
And when you have an update available, change the online version to:
Code:
<application>
<name>l3v5y's ROM</name>
<version>1.1</version>
<description>Current ROM version is available from http://www.mysite.com, and includes the following changes over v1.0....</description>
<versionurl>http://www.mysite.com/apptodate/l3v5y.rom.xml</versionurl>
</application>
Remember when building your ROM to grab apptodate as late as possible, as there are regular updates atm (altho, when you put it in ROM, it will still auto update itself anyway!)
Remember to load up your XML in IE on your PC to check it's correctly formed.
P
If you have CAB extensions to your ROM of course, it's a great way to keep those up to date for users too (and again, get some stats)
P
Just making sure the exe didn't need to Go somewhere special, I can get xmls to work thanks to UC provisioning! Does the updater itself need an XML ( could unpack the cab and see but it's too late for that timewise) ?
Who wants to host some xmls? Or maybe I should just get a site...
I'll see to that stuff tomorrow, or is that today?
Thanks for the standard and I hope it gets used lots 'cause it'll save me a lot of time!
Quick question: does the checking/downloading system work with FTP or just HTTP?
Just to remind you..anchillus was also working on a project related to Windows Updating..but i dnt know what happened to it....
AppToDate doesn't need it's own XML.
I imagine HTTP only is the best bet.
Get yourself a free account here and you'll be sorted: http://www.zymic.com/free-web-hosting/

Allright ppl, read this please, I will not answer questions answered here:
This time s2u2 is cooked into the rom, but for some reason I have not figured out yet, the app dont run right before you manually go to Program Files folder, and execute iLock2.exe, then run s2u2settings.exe, After that, you run s2u2.exe. After that everything runs normal with s2u2.
Why it behaves like that is at the time beeing unknown.
IMPORTANT READING, DO NOT SKIP:
(Edit: I do not consider removed apps a bug. Also I will not comment on remarks such as why this and that is removed, or why I did not add "your missing app")
After the rom is installed, you need to do some manual setup:
1. Install all your backupdata, contacts, opera, tomtom etc etc.
2. Install the cabs provided in the zip file you downloaded:
-Weatherpanel (install to Storage Card)
-s2p
3. Copy the folder Manila from weatherpanel folder in the extracted zip to \storage card\program files\marsware\themes
4. Copy the folder Manila WP Icons from weatherpanel folder in the extracted zip to \storage card\program files\marsware\icons
(Main reason for installing WP, and the animated weather to storage card, is because the big size on the animated weather icons)
Allright, if you did this correct, go to Settings\Today\Items and unhook weatherpanel as todaytheme. Then highlight weatherpanel, chose "Options" to access weatherpanel setup.
a) set Theme="Manila"
b) set Layout="Manila.wpl"
c) select "Update Time"
d) clear "Don't Display Arrows"
e) set Icon Set to "Manila WP Icons"
Weatherpanel should now be setup correct.
Now to ThrottleLauncher:
Open programs, go to Throttle folder and choose Throttleconfig.
In here you can setup how TL will look like, that is mostly up to you how you configure it, but here is some small "to do":
1. choose TFlo3d,
2. in "height" chose full
3. then press the config button.
-in weather tab, scroll down and choose weatherpanel as plugin, save
now your back in main setup of TL, press the "reload plugin" button
4. Also download the fonts (In attachments), and copy to windows/fonts (used by weatherpanel)
You will also need to configure your e-mail, path to your pictures and to your music.
I set the pictures folder as default with this path:
\storage card\DCIM\100MEDIA\
Music is set to use s2p (installed on device, not SD card) and it searches for music in \storage card\music. Also you need to change to change the path to s2p, I forgot to change from norwegian path to english, so change the "programfiler" to "program files" if you wanna use s2p as mediaplayer.
I also recommend a great app called setvolume by MarcLandis(included in the extra zip)
read more on setvolume here

Fix what? its not broken
Animated weatherpaneltheme is to big to be installed on devicememory, it needs to be installed on SD card, otherwise you will not have much memory left.
BUT, I can cook weatherpanel app, and maybe s2u2, I'll see what I can do, but you guys will still need to copy some files manually
But its not a MUST, to install the cab files.
Some ppl dont wanna use s2p, there is option to choose other players to be used in TL...
(besides, I will never cook into a rom something that has a path to SD card)
cheers
We are still waiting

Look at the bottom of first post. Its called Download EXTRA
the graphics look amazing,I hope the system is at least as fast and stable as udk's rom that I'm using for a while now..
will test yours in the next few days and come back with (if any) bug reports but so far congrats and thanks for the good work!
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

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?

Looks great hope this will work on my prophet
Great works brother !
Can't wait for build rom with your new kitchen !
Keep it up
Tom
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?

(Sept. 1st 2009) NEW HTC CHome Plugins & Apps from T-Mobile Dash 3G (TEST RELEASED)
Hello, I just downloaded the new T-Mobile ROM from here. I noticed they made a few new CHome aka Titanium Plugin as well as might have updated some.
I managed to extract the ROM, but I am not the greatest at doing so. When I did, everything is in one Folder. I am wondering if someone more skilled at ROM extraction would mind extracting this ROM in Packages so it'd be easier to pull out what I want/need. Here's a list of the new plugins in that ROM btw. Well at least what I'm guessing from the CPR layouts.
MyWeather
HTCMyFaves
HTCVOICEMAIL
HTCWeather
HTCSMSMMS
HTCMusic
HTCSprintMusic
HTCPIEFAVORITE
MyPageWithChild
HTCEMAIL
Also, the MyFaves app for T-Mobile USA user has been completely redone so I'd like to work on porting it to see what changed since it's been quite some time since the oirginal we have.
NOTE: It only has a Landscape Flash. Will probably need a skill Flash maker to convert the Landscape one to Portrait.
Got HTC Email/SMS & MMS/IE Favorites/Audio Manager/Sprint Music working. They still need some layout tweaking as Sliding Panels has a 112 Focus Panel Height & Titanium uses a 82 Focus Panel Height. All file exist for HTC Weather, but for some reason it won't show & the app won't update when city is selected. Maybe it's just PPC incompatable. Still need Package for HTC MyFaves (T-Mobile app). Releasing as is for anyone who wants to take this over. Don't have time to mess with Layouts & HTC Weather. Really just looking for HTC MyFaves myself.

It is a WM 6.1 Standard ROM. Smartphones have had CHome since 6.1. PPC's only just got it in 6.5. The plugins still work for us though.
EDIT: Can you upload Package Builder here. I tried the link & registered but it keeps telling me I don't have permission & I even completed activation via e-mail link

Yes, I registered & click activation link in the e-mail, but still not seeing any posts. Any ideas as to why? does it take time to update completed actvitation maybe?
Ok, so package builder 3 didn't seem to do anything other than move the files. Maybe I should mention when i extracted everything I am not even getting any .reg or .rgu files. I took the .nbh file & extracted it to .nb files & than extract the os .nb file that I got & got a huge SYS folder. Inside the SYS folder there are 3 more folder, the main one being DASH3G which contains every dll/image/app/etc that appears to come from the \Windows directory of the ROM.
Hey friend, I am dowloading the ROM now, I will extract and package everything up for you and send you the download link in a little while!

Cool, thanks man! Would try myself, but this extraction/dumping/package stuff is just a bit over my head atm & too much on my plate as it is to learn atm. So, greatly appreciated!
Eagerly waiting for extraction! Planning to release non-OEM too? Would like to try some new titanium plugins on my 23037...
Thanks everyone!
Incase someone wants to work on the flash for MyFaves. Here's the old Flash & New Flash. Looks like the new one is missing touch support (Old version when loaded into internet broswer would show Link Mouse Curse over Hotspots, New version doesn't do that) & there's no Portrait SWF either.
My5_*.swf is the old file, myFaves_*.swf is the new.
NOTE: Might be worth while to check into the Rodium aka TP2 to see if that is a better version of MyFaves to use & if it's even compatable as this version is deisgned to write to CHome Registries.
Ran into a snag, the ROM at that link has been dumped and rebuilt again already, so it is protected and when I try to dump it it will not dump properly lol! So I am lookin gfor the OEM RUU_Maple_HTC_signed.exe. As soom as I find it I will dump it and get everything ready for you! Shouldnt be to long!

Hello to all.
I'm wondering if you can help me to cook end key replacement by jochos.
Thanks a lot
Which kind of help do you need?
Just grab the cab and convert it in EXT then cook it after the stock Htc endkey.
EDIT: LongEndPress key stock can be deselected from your kitchen.

I've done it but with no success.
I've deselected the stock one but nothing happens.
While installing it i have to select from two skins and then some other questions that i don't remember exactly.How can i choose the skin?

Did you cook in the skins? (it's necessary) If I remember me correctly; the default place of the skins (zip file) is "\Program Files\EndKeySkins\
the other files (.exe and .mcr) are located into \Windows.
Don't forget to build in all the needed Reg-Keys.
Ps; if you will build it in; you need to also to build in one theme into \Windows together with his Reg_key's. Normally the setup of the cab will do this. but now you need to build it in manually.
Do i have to add something special in my reg file?(i have it attached).
How can i choose one skin by default?

So Kurt, I see what you did with your package and yes, it does work so that Quick Endkey is up and running at boot up. The only problem is that with your package and even my own when I mimic yours is that when I tap the top left corner of the screen to change the theme I get these errors for every .brn file that you have already unzipped in your 0409 files.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only that does not give this error is the "wifi" option. I'm assuming it's because the wifi.brn file is not already unzipped with the rest.
It sort of seems like the problem is that it's not able to overwrite those files. Or that it thinks it cannot. Even though I get an error for every .brn file it's trying to use, the theme will change correctly.
Any thoughts on how to fix these error messages?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Okay, I will take a look on it tomorrow.
But some questions;
1) did you change anything on the zip file?
2) are the zip file present?
Edit; on the first look I don't see directly the problem.

Hello.
Is there something special that i have to do in order to cook it in different languages except by changing the file "strings"?

just make a folder from your language (ex 0413 = NLD, don't know how it is for Greek) and set the zip files for that language, also the needed .brn files and put the translated strings file also in these folder.
Ow, just forget to mention, the strings file need to be saved as Unicode (probably you know that.)
