I posted a thread asking for help on cooking for older devices, but no one seemed to have an answer for it. I figured I would give this thing another shot and the device gets past the first screen, but it never gets out of the second boot splash. I have attached the kitchen that I am using with SYS already ported.
Without further ado, here is my attempt to a kitchen (based off on sun_dream's 28230 kitchen)
http://hotfile.com/dl/36427122/da04c1f/HTC_BlueAngel_WM6.5.3_23112.rar.html
Any help will be appreciated!
did you recmod any of the files in sys? or ext? ive never cooked for blue angel but im sure it doesnt have a native 6.5 nk.exe and that means you need to recmod some files for kaiser i always recmodded my whole ext folder, and all modules in browsing, browsingcore, browsingie...give that a try and see if it helps

Hey twopump,
I tried recmodding the modules that you described there (which I also saw on another thread that you replied to). As far as the ones in the EXT folder (my kitchen has a OEM folder, which I think is the same), they were all recmodded by sun_dream. BTW, you are absolutely correct about the BA not having a native 6.5 nk.exe.... that is usually the downfall of a 5 year old device , but I know that it can be done since there are newish roms out there for the BA (28230 being one of them).
There is no way you can look at my kitchen and tell me what's wrong is there, is there? (I guess the answer is no, but it is always worth asking).
Thanks for the help.
ok i took a look at your kitchen, and im pretty sure i know whats wrong. the first thing i did was open up your sys folder to check if you had recmodded browsing, browsingie, browsingcore, and you hadnt they all still had the modules in them....except you didnt even have browsingie in your rom only the 0409 pkg lol. then i noticed that you deleted the netcf pkg from sys as well, that will cause your rom not to boot. here is my solution to your problems, start over with a fresh complete sys, only delete the things that arent needed, then convert every module in browsing, browsingcore, browsingie to a file. make sure you have netcf and cook you should have a booting rom

Thanks for the advice. I honestly cannot put browsingie and netcf at the same time simply because the BA only has 32 mb for rom and the kitchen essentially errors out before getting to the end. The other issue is that the rom will not even boot if I take either one of them out. I did recmod all that you suggested, but still nothing...

I would appreciate all the help that I can get . The kitchen that I posted is a modified version of a 28230 kitchen by sun_dream. Basically, I ported the XIP and the SYS folders from 23112 into the 28230 kitchen. Originally, I had included the same exact components in the SYS that sun_dream had included in his kitchen (his is fully functional btw), so I am at the point where I am running out of ideas on what I could be doing wrong. I know that you cook for the Nike, so the way of cooking will be completely different, but some of the core knowledge is still the same. Any suggestions are welcome

No, these are "old style kitchens" I am pretty sure that EVK will not work with these kind of roms (they are of the nbf type and not nbh). If you would like to send me your SYS, I would not mind taking it for a spin.

I would give atry to Recmod all EXT packages as TPC said.
Your FWUPDATE and SQM in sys folder are dummy or M$ originals?
You need absolutly Net and Browsingie as TPC said ,at least delete some useless apps in OEM packages.
I made a 23112 SYS within only the needed and already recmoded plus the dummy fwupdate and sqm, you must put them in an EXT folder or convert them in OEM.

I believe I have the real FW and SQM folders in there. It is truly weird though, if you take a look at the original sys folder of the 28230 kitchen, sun_dream has no netcf nor browsingie in there, and he has no recmodded files in the browsing folders either, yet his kitchen spits out a working rom...
At this point, I am beginning to think that my xip might be bad...

You dont need netcf to build a ROM. Ofcourse most of our programs these days wont run unless you install it after...

NetCF can be installed post flash either by hand or some customization method (sdcustomization, uc, sashimi, etc)
Let me go a little deeper into the world of the BA. The process is pretty much the same as it is with all devices... flash a rom, hard reset, and reboot. Depending on the packages that I am adding to the SYS, the rom will either get stuck while hard resetting (which is the same as getting stuck in the tri-colored screen (keep in mind that for the BA, the tri-colored screen is *not* bootloader, but the first bootsplash)), or will go through the first screen and get stuck in the second bootsplash (here is the kicker, if you connect the device to a computer, Activesync will see it and try to connect, which means that some of the windows OS components are loading...)
I am finishing charging up my BA and I will flash deep's SYS and will let you all know what comes out of it
If I look in your common folder I see Chome is still in, that's a huge memory eater, not sure what you are cooking and if you need it.
Another thing; if I take out NETCF in my rom device setup starts looping in a continue circle and I get a warning about AutoVer.exe.
I hope this is of any help.

Here is a very very n0000000000000000b question for Chef Central, sorry if I annoy the masters .
I have Installed EVK 1.8.2 as well as osKithcen 1.25 and also dumped HTC Asia ROM (official) for my Touch2 T3320 its 21854 Build.

After unzipping the files, how should I incorporate them into my ROM using EVK (or osKitchen).

I guess they are not compatible with OSKitchen, I tried one of them using Import Sys option, and it said that it is not a valid dump to parse.
Any idea ?
OsKitchen? are you in oskitchen or ervius?
.dio file needs to be dumped with Xidump tool search there on the Da_G thread there are so many tools to dump .dio files

i think the OS kitchen import build feature is designed for the "rollup" builds...all pkgs inside a single folder. the ones you tried are divided into language, dpi, ect for ervius visual kitchen. all you have to do is open each of those folders and copy/paste all of them into one single folder, then run the import on OS kitchen i think it should work.
Are you in Erivius Kitchen or OS Kitchen

Well I have downloaded both, since I am new to this stuff.. want to check out both. And will ultimately adapt to the one which I am more comfortable with (i.e. get more help on )
Now I have downloaded these three files
21898_Rollup_All_Packages.7z
21898_XIP.BIN_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409_041D_0414.7z

from Da_G's thread
Now here is what I did:
1. Unzipped all the files in a single folder named 21898 , it had two folders SYS and XIP.
2. Copied the SYS folder under EVK and renamed it to 21898.
3. Copied the content of the XIP folder to "C:\Ervius\Tools\xip.bin_new"
Now the problem is when I am trying to cook a ROM with this (Oh that kitchen is based on WM 6.5 Stock ROM (WWE ASIA) for Mega, it stops saying that I am using 6.1 NK.exe with 6.5 XIP and since the number of modules are too many, it will make an unbootable ROM. But I guess WM 6.5 have 6.5 nk.exe?
Where did I do wrong?
EDIT:
Even after deleting the existing kitchen and re dumping the stock wwe asia ROM, it is still saying that nk.exe is of 6.1!

1.- Unzipped all files and put them togheter is just for oskitchen import sys feature... if you want it in EVK style you must to use the packer.jar... is floating arround is friendly to use and easy.

I have Touch2/ Mega T3320 (Not T3333), which have native 6.5 Kernel (it came preloaded with 6.5). The problem is I am constantly travelling ... So I have to use GPRS / Edge for surfing and browsing and ...... Bugging . so you can understand - I won't be able to upload the kitchen. Even to download the SYS etc, it takes me around 5-6 hours! But ... what to do??

welcome to real XDA and late night and prepared to drink so much coffee
Finally finished your great tutorial... but the thing is even with the stock ROM of Mega as base, EVK says that nk.exe 6.1 and not 6.5.
I simply dumped the Stock ROM and recooked it, no changes nothing. BTW I did got the nbhutil.xml with mega settings though...
Is there any other setting that needs to be changed So that EVK recognizes the nk as a native 6.5???
P.S. clicking on the Native check box does have no effect
i guess it isnt another settings the kitchen reads what you have in the nk.exe
wich build is your Original rom?
is 6.5?

Hi cookers!
I'm looking for a tutorial on how to add Sense to roms I've cooked.........
Is there in the forum or somewhere out there some kind of instructions?
Thanks a lot!!!
Hi,
Welcome to Chefs Central
Could you tell for what device you are cooking?
It's requested in the 'Welcome to chefs Central' anouncement here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=612
It's important because if people don't know what resolution your device is it's impossible to give you the correct answer.
Also some info about which kitchen you are using would help a lot.

I'm cooking for the Xperia X1 with Ervius VK....... but I'm just trying the OSKitchen right now....
I'm trying to add Sense 2.5 to my roms (WM 6.5.5 build 23563 or 23568)
Allright so that's a wvga device, thank you
Do you know how to dump a rom?
If so dump the rom which contains the Manila you want to cook in.
After dumping search in dump for initflashfiles.dat and open this file with a text editor.
Search for all Manila entries and copy them in a new .txt document.
Save this document as app.dat to a location you remember.
Next copy all Manila packages into your kitchen.
app.dat you can copy to the Core package of Manila
Done

Very simple!! I'll try! Thanks a lot!
Ok man, offcourse some other packages are depended too but this is a good start.
Run through all the Manila entries of the corresponding packages in the app.dat you create and don't forget to add them all.
After that you can cook and check how everything works.
Probably you need to update a lot more packages but that's a case of trial and effort.
Other packages you probably need are:
StartIconLoader
Settings_Improvement
Contact_Utility_Engine
HTCFramework
Menu_Enhancement
Well that's just quesing, you need to find out yourself.
Before you start make a backup of your kitchen and then start updating the packages step by step and test.
A reminder, all the packages you add extra in your kitchen in most cases also have initflashfiles.dat entries, don't forget to check that.
You can do the same with them by placing a app.dat file in the package or adding the line to initflashfiles.dat in your kitchen.

Hi pals
I Cooked a WM6.1 19971 Official ROM for OPAL in Ervius Visual Kitchen. The cooked ROM seems quite alright except that:
1.The original ROM was about 100MB while despite the fact that I added a lot of packages, the cooked ROM is about 80MB.
2.None of my packages exist in the cooked ROM when I flash it.
Can you tell me what the problem is?
The smaller size is fine.
What do you mean packages not there?
Are the files not in the windows folder or are you just missing shortcuts?

What?!...EVK generates a build_log...look at this, and u'll see, what's in your rom.
Cannot belive that u've applied packages in EVK they wouldn't cook in....strange.
It is happened to me too in the beginning when i was cooking for kaiser and tried to cook inside HTC Mega packages with Manila 2d...i solved it using OsKitchen,lol.

Sorry...but usin' OSKitchen is still hard work in my opinion. Maybe others think similar to me, and please forgive me @airxtreme!
But still the best kitchen in my opinion is EVK....
Its not true,
OsKitchen compared to any other Kitchen is much more easy to use expecially for newbie users.
EVK it is much complete.
Which is the best between one and another its only a personal taste.

And that's what i said!
For new's, maybe OSKitchen is easier to use...but still beta.
Speak is free and give opinions too...but please people dont start flaming about kitchens.
I mean about what in red....its not nice.

While EVK was building the ROM I checked the log it was generating. I saw all my packages. But when I used osKitchen it had problems with the *.dsm file in the packages and said that it's corrupt. I think it's the problem but I used package-creator-v2.7 to convert *.cab files to a package. So obviously the problem is with the package creator.
But on thing that's for sure is that newbies (like me) should stick to osKitchen.
FYI, Barin's OSBuilder has a .dsm autocorrection option.
Well, OsKitchen has its own package creator so all you need is to import your original rom and convert all your cabs again plus it has an auto mui converter,thats mean if that you have some 0410 mui's and you are cooking for 0409 oskitchen wiil rename all the mui for you.It worth a try.

Let's state this once for all: Ervius kitchen is basically a GUI to create _skip files that launches a giant batch file that does all the cooking and that needs to be customized for every device: if you created your own _skip files by hand and used a batch file to cook there would be virtually no difference. OsKitchen has a simple GUI by design but that doesn't mean that it isn't orders of magnitude more complete and advanced than ervius kitchen: it does everything from detecting all device/ROM informations without asking anything (the list of supported devices actually has nothing associated to them but the alternative names: no customized fixed, no customized settings, nothing) to cooking with all sorts of checks to prevent bricking or unbootable ROMs and even parsing all the files in the package: if I had proper relocation code (that I was waiting Da_G to write since he knows that stuff better than everybody else) the kitchen could already natively cook its own ROMs. I'm already using all the code I wrote to replace platformrebuilder to implement all sorts of cool stuff like complete validation of all package files and installing packages directly on the phone trough activesync (to avoid having to reflash any time you want to test something) as you can see on the alphas thread, things that on ervius kitchen, where cooking just means running a giant batch file, you could only dream of.
I hope that finally clears the minds of the people saying that ervius is more advanced or complete: it's not, it's just a simple batch file-based kitchen with an unnecessarily complex GUI. It may have some bundled tools that oskitchen doesn't include (like xipporterex, that while works on some NK.EXE wreaks havoc on unofficial native kernel and latest kernels) but having a dedicated button to launch a tool doesn't make a kitchen "more advanced" or "more complete".
No offence and I do appreciate and use your work, but aren't all kitchens just fancy GUI's around a set of batch files and same old imgfstools and platformrebuilder from yesteryear?

Not really, I process all the files before feeding them to platformrebuilder hence the recmod/upx/tweaks/ordering/manila compression/etc without touching any of the original files. I also only use the newest tools available like libnb and osnbtool that the kitchen calls directly and checks the output to warn of any error and to get informations about the ROM format indeed it can import any proper BIN/NB/NBH file and cook it without even knowing what device they come from. The only original imgfstools I keep are nbmerge and nbsplit because I was waiting Da_G to finish his BuildNB function but osnbtool can probably replace both (nbsplit for sure with the -sp parameter).
@OP, it sounds like your package structure is wrong. Are the packages in EXT format (not OEM)? If they're in oem format, none of the files will be included. Just make the packages manually, it's a lot easier.
Can you please post the build log file?

My kitchen (OSbuilder) uses it's own engine to process packages, build dsms, rebase modules, merge dsm and build ROM file. The only external tool i use is "TurboImgfs" by airxtreme.
Yes , when i wrote that EVK ,maybe, its more complete then OsKitchen i was referring to this, only some tools.

Don't let them get you down man. Ervius's kitchen is a piece of **** in my opinion. The GUI blows and it crashes on the smallest thing that's not exactly right with a package. Did I mention the GUI is horrible ?
I will say it as well, erv's kitchen is NOTHING but a glorified GUI for platformrebuilder which is the real workhorse.
p.s. I made my own kitchen GUI, based on platformrebuilder as well. Mine's designed to cook for 12 devices at a time though... so I can't exactly share it. PM me if you'd like the details necesssary to make Samsung Omnia 2 ROMs with prb though, it seems nobody else seems to know what the "secret" is... I just think they didn't try hard enough. lol If anything, you can add 4 more devices to your already impressive collection of supported devices
