[Question]Newbie with Cooking how to start? - Windows Mobile

Hi, first I want to say sorry about my english, im venezuelan so I don't speak english at all.
I want to start cooking my own rom or if possible to edit already cooked rom but i dont know how to start. I was reading about the cellphone but I haven't found any programs that can help me to do that.
I have followed the tutorial of tobbie's blog[I can't post links] but when I try to use "viewimgfs" command it sends me an error and stop. BTW I'm using one spanish rom made by nickleby be cause I wanted to sim unlock my cell and didn't make a dump of the original rom so, for now, i only can use already cooked roms while he finish with the maintenance of his server.
And the next question is, can I use any visual kitchen? or do i have to use text kitchen and which one can i use?
Thats all for now, thanks for the help that you can bring me . GREETS!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is more info about the error that i get:
When im trying to get the dump folder with the viewimgfs command i get this error, and the folder reach only 108MB
wCompressedBlockSize: Error! ProcessFixups: cannot map dump\wmcore.dll\s003
Any idea?

1: I've got Kyocera e4000 (Benq e72 Twin)
2: I've tried with oskitchen and tried to fill the EVK using your guide but i cant correctly dump my rom
3: About the pc... I think I only need to say that I have a P3 500mhz (is that enough to say you cant?) [I have another pc, is a P4 3ghz double core with 1 gb of ram]
4:About framework I think I have it, but im not sure, the EVK ran good so i think I have it but dont remmember when and I don't have the VC redist2005, is it needed?
5: I was reading some tutorials about kitchens around the net but they all talks about HTC devices so i dont know how to extract the dump folder, there is my problem :/.
6:So I have to wait untill nickleby give me the link to his dumps of the 6.0 original roms or do i have to start with any asiatic rom?
Can you say me any good rom for start? and do I have to flash my phone then dump it? Thats all for now i think.
THANKS A LOT for the advice.

-------------------------------------------
5- How can I add the OEM packages in the rom ?
-------------------------------------------
6- How can I delele the programs or files that I don't need from the rom ?
-------------------------------------------
7- Do I have to modify the registery and how can I do that ?
-------------------------------------------
8- I read that the net compact framework 3.5 is better than the 2.0, so how can I replace the 2.0 by the 3.5 ?
-------------------------------------------
9- I like the Spb mobile shell and the other Diamond skins for the windows applications like the dialer, the calculaters , contacts and the Windows media player. So how can I merge this application to start as the today screen and how can I replace the windows skins with the diamond skins ? what are their pathways?
-------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------
11- How can I create new folders in the start menu ?
-------------------------------------------
12- If I don't need the ram disk can I blend it with the rom ? I mean the programmes memory and If it possible will the device be faster ?
-------------------------------------------
I know that these are boring questions and It may waste your time but forgive me I'm just a newbie .....
Just finished the 5th medicine year ,, so If you need my help in medicine I'll be here for you......
My device is Himalaya ( Qteck 2020 )...
please answer my questions in detailed fashion ....
the help files are html documents.
you can find it in the dump folder.
to cook a rom, you will need a kitchen or a decompiler
the registry settings are in the dump folder.
you can edit them by using the windows editor
It's a bit difficult
Thanx for replying ,,, but which kitchen or decomplier should I use ?!
what is a dump folder ?!
if someone can make a tutorial doc with sceen shots that helps me to Learn it will be surely appreciated......
but Even If I cook A new rom I need to add some cabs to it so how can I do that ?!!!
For a start, I think the Himalaya forum may have some helpful info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=243
This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378987 has a link to the kitchens for the Himalaya.
thanx l3v5y
o.k. these are the kitchens but infact I'm not professional in using them in other words I need some on do demonistrate the steps to me ?
I need to create my own packages from the cab files I have ,,,, so plz can some one EXPLAIN it to me ?
by the way I think cooking roms or reprogramming is more difficult than studing Medicine ......
On the first point, I think trying things out is probably the fastest way to learn... Make small changes, see what happens, and then make bigger changes.
To create OEM packs, you need something like ervius' package tool. here
You need to load the cab file (press the button to do so), and then that will open "MSCEInf". In that program, you'll need to extract the files (It's a button on the top tool bar) to the default location, then close that program and follow the options through with the package creator.
Real progressing
o.k. let's say that I wanna use Avis 6.1 kitchen I'm downloading it but the problem is taht It comes with Chekhar's Rom ( 19199 ) but I wanna use PDAviet WM6.1 ( 19213 ) ?
So how can I replace the chekhar's rom ?
and how can I put the package in the rom ( just coping ) or by using a special too ?
and How can I delete some softs from the rom ?
Could you demonistrate an Example here with explanatory Pictures> I'm just a newbie
Thanx l3v5y So much

That doesn't apply well to the Himalaya, as there is a different ROM structure...

I'm sorry, but I have no idea about the details of Himalaya cooking... I can do Prophets, but not them...
I'd suggest asking in one of the Hima threads, or maybe a mod could move this?

If I could be more help, I would!
I think that kitchen may only be able to use that ROM... Try one of the other kitchens... You'll need to dump the ROM and then rebuild it...
My Brain is getting Fried
Plz at least , I need someone to help me to package my cabs...
I do have the Package Creator, I even Packaged a cab but the problem is I need to delete some files ,, such as help one and I need to replace / relocate some inks also when I'd packaged it I didn't find the resultant file although it was saying packaging completed successsfully.....
I've been reading the tutorial on wiki and some threads provided in the forum but, I did not understand anything although the manual method looks somehow easier than the automated method using the creator program but it takes a long time with someone impatient like me.....
what I need is an Example demonisterated thoroughly and precisely .
since I'm using the Quickmenu I had been sorting my softs into many folders , Multimedia , Utilities , readers , E-Books, etc but some of these softs are installed on my SD card because of shortage of Storage Memory ( Device one ). It's just a 30MB. So if there is any Expert in packaging issue to help me or and that's unfortionate I'm gonna give up the whole Idea of Cooking and baking....
Thanx brothers.

Cook any Blue Angel ROM you Like

Blue Angel Kitchen recook any BA ROM you like
Cooking Lesson Now OPEN
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2364422&posted=1#post2364422
I built a rom recooker, Well "2"
One for Blue Angel, and one for HIMALAYA "yes" Hima That I'll B' on HIMA forum "Bye"
I have tested on both my BA,s and my HIMA bless IT, " been flashed some 50 or 60 times" both recooker's cook good rom's first time,
About the recooker's
A basic, Cooking from dump folder, it's all manual editing ! early wm5 style, Cooks WM 5.0 ' 6.0' 6.1 ROMs just like Ather90s kitchens it all runs from a single start.bat file, That has help text at every step' A walk through some TIPs, Comes with all required tools 'reg workshop' and 'HEX editors' that launch automaticaly at every step, File loaded and open ready to edit, Used tools and files are Backed UP and cleaned up at every step, keeping things nice and tidy, Full menu driven options, Once kitchen has been built to completion the kitchen will be ready !! And NOW ! You'll be making a coffee while the test rom flashes to your phone, 2 and milky for ME pls.
You can Make a COFFEE start this tool decompile your favorite ROM, Change "Say" desktop and splash screen's, of the Rom build and be flashing to your PHONE and your coffee's STILL too hot to Drink It's that simple
You can do moor advanced cooking than that i'm "no" programer and after reading about OEM_packages apply a bit of common sence ! your "COOKING"
I'v got HTC' calc, dialer, WMP, comm,s manager HTC today_*.TSK onscreen keyboard skin all cooked in now in the colors i want ! It took one evening for the BA, A bit of reading about editing ,*rgu ,*.reg and initflashfiles.dat the initflashfiles.dat is were you customize your program folders and move files to different folders Ie: WMP Skins need installing into wmp?? folder Download A WMP_oem and study IT u'll see
1 hr for the hima,
Please NOTE the test build is also part of the kitchen Setup process It takes 15 to 20 mins and if you do it "my way" it will work FIRST TIME Then you know your rom cooker works
Enjoy
Swampy395
iInstall reg editor first. Then "read" !! ReadMe First.txt in Kitchen_BA_0.1.0 folder Put in root of drive ie: c:\Kitchen_BA_0.1.0 for best results DO not rename any part or folders of this kitchen ! you can make your own Folders but not in the "dump" enjoy
P.S. If you don't see my custom images "set" windows default for today screen that should do it
Kitchen upgrade some new tools, and help files added it shows more files than the old one, There are some files that are still hidden
don't unhide them or your rom won't work !
If you want to see the changes you will have to reset your kitchen (1) enter then (R) uppercase R enter this will delete any work you have !!
Decompilers added
Download kitchen
Now ready for use, If you have 0.1.0 version then download upgade and install
http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/7830949/6028aa9f/sharing.html
Sorry, i didn't understand the sequence of operations to install the kitchen, can you repeat it?
Harbor said:

Download the 3 zip files Step 1 unpack reg workshop and install IT
Step 2 unpack the other 2 zip files, In the kitchen folder there is an empty tools folder ? "JUST A PLACE MARKER" delete IT and copy the tools folder from zip file were it was,
Step 3 Copy the kitchen to the C drive !!. c:\Kitchen_HIMA_0.1.0 or c:\Kitchen_BA_0.1.0
Step 4 Now read carefully c:\Kitchen_HIMA_0.1.0\"ReadMe First" text IF you don't set reg workshop as default editor the kitchen "WILL NOT WORK"
Step 5 double click start.bat file in Swampy395_????_ROM_ReCooker_0.1.0 folder and read the screen, complete steps 1,2,3,4,5,__7,8, don't do 6, at this point. AT (3)Edit defaul.hv you "will" get an error if you have read the text then you'll fix the error and move on If you don't fix the error your rom will not work read the answer is there ?

There is a difference between all devices, they all have something diffenent hardware ie some have keyboards and some have gps built in etc. I may be wrong here But i the tools used in this kitchen were used to put wm5 on hima and ba in the first place, power full tools the only limit is your brain power!! you'll find if you read that most of the roms for these devices are from hermes an artimes etc. there is no wm5 or wm6xx roms for these devices and never was?
Please Please Note that Credit for WM5 & WM6.xx Goe's to the real chefs like helmi_c, bepe, and some other fine people hows names i can't remember
A big Thanks to all you guys how made these roms possible for us Thanks guys
We will not be cooking a rom from scratch here just changing some things a bit like skins, reg tweeks,adding and removeing apps, The hard ware drivers are best left to the real chefs
read all the cooking lessons you can find you will learn some thing from them ALL

dump a rom and reconstruct it

hy all. i have a problem (wish): i want to install a clean rom ( i have it allready) and i want to customize it with the programs that i want to, and then, to save this rom (i supose that i have to dump it and reconstruct it) exactly with my settings/applications/etc. can i do that? if I can, how? thx alll.
When you customize your polaris on the device itself, it doesn't change the ROM on it. So dumping it will not give you a new ROM. You'll have to change the ROM on the desktop, and upload it afterwards. There are a lot of topics about ROM building.
ok. thx. i will go then to that topics. thx.
Yes but the problem is that all those posts are about porting a 6.1 rom from another device to polaris.
Now that we have a 6.1 rom how exactly do we cook it and flash it back?
Here's my problem: I have the PTG 6.1 rom, but I want to replace the CF2 with CF3.5 and replace TTN6 with TTN7, and flash it back.
I already have Kitchen 1.3, extracted the 'RUU_signed.nbh' and a dump of 03_OS.nb.payload.
Now, where do I go from here?. I want a rom that's exactly the same as the official one but with the changes I mentioned above.
I'm a complete noob at this cooking rom issue. I've read lots of threads but I've only gotten more confused about all the XIPs, SYSs, OEMs and stuff, and I think the same happens with other users.
I know that some of the actual cookers were once in the same place I'm now, so can someone point me out the rigth way and if possible post a detailed tutorial on how to extract, cook and flash back a rom on POLARIS, me and lots of users would apreciate it a LOT.
Second That Thought.
What would be nice to see (if possible) the following,
as an example:
1. Download Polaris ROM Kitchen v1.3
2. Extract to c:\Kitchen
3. Copy your ROM image (*.nbh) to X:\
4. Run command
...20. Install Package (M2D.cab) by doing the following ...
21. Recombine the ROM by doing the follow commands ...
22. Flash your ROM to your Polaris
23. Hard Reset and verify that the package you installed is in your ROM
Congrats
A step by step like that, which walks a user though the process of a demo ROM and a demo *.cab for learning would be FANTASTIC!!!
Thanks in advance to whoever can help us out!
Juxtyce
bump.
Any help from the professionals out there?
Look here:
1. .Net2.0 => .net3.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2685138&postcount=22
2. replace the ttn.cab file in the folder "\kitchen.work\Build\OEM\OEMAPPS" with the TomTom7 cab. If it don't have the same name, rename the new cab or edit the file 'config_AP.txt' in the same folder
hope it will help you I managed it this way.
P.S. I didn't change the XIP as mentioned in the given thread. See following posts
I will dump the wm6.1 rom for you guys, and provide you with a kitchen with some packages you can use.
I will do so for all available languages that is available with official wm6.1
But,that is gonna be quite time consuming, and I hope that you understand that I ask this in return:
Any small donation for the time I use on that will be of help.
I dont say that its required, not at all. I am not doing this for money.
But the number of hours I spend on this is getting pretty high.
I will do this project either you donate or not.
cheers
thank you a lot itje. can you make in romanian also?
dunno if it's the good topic to post but let's try.
I see many fantastic people cooking excellent roms (i wish i could do the same...), and, in those roms, a lot of softwares.
Isn't it possible to just have a rom with the bare minimum?
and seperate cabs to install what you want?
for example, manilla 2d is cool, but many people like spb mobile shell better, so it's wasted memory.
May be i'm just wrong, don't understanding how it all works, so plz explain to me !

There is a large choice of ROM's, some loaded with extra's, some very minimally equiped. There are so many that your favorite must be out there already. Just search for it.

[SOLVED] Cooking WM 6.5.5 Elfin Kitchen ... Need Some Help

Hey first of all i only start wid my problems.
I just cooked a WM6.5.5 Rom for Elfin and these are the problems i am facing.
OEM drivers 3.14 for Elfin.

2.- from where???? you can get the latest pkgs from the XDA developers.. using the search option like.... "latest camera QVGA"
3.- OEM Drivers??? for elfin??? you can get them dumping a stock rom this is basic from setting the kitchen i told you that your OEM drivers folder is poor dunno why.
4.- This is a good question for begginers
5.-Action button stops working??? you need to be specific cause some OLD wm6 (your dumped base rom) apps are incompatible with 6.5
6.- the rom is laghing a lot... well that is just experience
you will se when you add and delte old things will see that the rom will be better.

Collapse Thread
General conscensus was to collapse the thread. I have adjusted the title to be more indicative of the help required.
Ankush, which kitchen are you using to cook your ROM - Ervius, OnDraster, etc.?
In response to:
touchscreen is not functioning properly???? Please be more specific tell us what happend exactly to your touch screen.
Did you omit any drivers or registry entries in OEM? Reads like you may have or there may be a compatibility issue ... see next response.
From where???? you can get the latest pkgs from the XDA developers.. using the search option like.... "latest camera QVGA"
Some camera package may not be compatible with the device or the version of OEM drivers. See next response.
OEM Drivers??? for elfin??? you can get them dumping a stock rom this is basic from setting the kitchen i told you that your OEM drivers folder is poor dunno why.
To elaborate; many chefs will track down an original ("official") HTC release ROM and extract it using a kitchen. They will then take this kitchen, make a copy of it for archive purposes, and start altering the kitchen.
Have a look at the Shipped ROM thread to see if you can locate the drivers you mention below.
This is a good question for begginers
There's a few thread on this already; have a look at the Tips And Tricks from Mr. Makk.
Action button stops working??? you need to be specific cause some OLD wm6 (your dumped base rom) apps are incompatible with 6.5
As above, it likely a driver issue. Also note that some device (ex: AT&T Fuze) have a proprietary KEYBOARD.DLL compiled specifically for the device. This may result in certain buttons not functioning with newer SYS and/or drivers from a similar device that doesn't have the same buttons.
The rom is laghing a lot... well that is just experience. you will se when you add and delte old things will see that the rom will be better.
You may need to increase the PagePool size. You'll need to some searching as different devices need different sizes - it's specific to RAM and processor.
HTH,
new questions look at the first post.....;

mmm interesting
1.- 3.14 maybe or maybe not is a hybrid... some are 3.07 and some are other ported OEM folders to ELFIN... i know that some of them works ok with elfin, like.... mmmm OPAL OEM drivers (some of them not all)
2 & 3.- As you may red on the tutorial I said that the EXT pkgs must have categorized.. something like
EXT
-ELFIN
--23658
--COMMON
---Conectivity
----Commanager_2.0_HTC_Mega
----Connection Setup_3.2_Opal
---Images
----OS images
----Red theme 6.5.X
----Red theme 6.5
---Reg tweaks
----Performance
----Asharsunny_touchresponse
----Regional_settings
be sure your new added EXT PKGS applications are well categorized
Remember too.. that every EXT pkg needs or sometings has as a default the files app.dat and app.reg... I will update the tutorial for other langs to explain this two files function for noobs, but if you search you can have many tutorials lost there in the forums by amesh... hilaireg... and many awsome members.
5.- the SDautorun is an enhaced function into the normal or RUNCC app... the SD autorun allows you to install apps onfirst boot via cab in your storage card...
The SD autorun needs a line in the config.txt that must be in the normalOEM pkg for autorun, mmmm something like...
LOCK:Enabled
EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable
CAB: \Windows\Certs.cab
CAB: \Windows\SMSFIX.cab
CAB: \Windows\btfix.cab
Hide:Enabled
LOCKisabled
EXEC:\Windows\SDAutoRun.exe

Not to offend you but most of the questions you are asking here are already answered on the board.
Cooking a rom is asking some action from you too. A lot of reading, trying, flashing, tweaking etc.
About the 3.14 base you are talking about you could try asking the people who are cooking with it.
I don't think Chef Central is created to dump questions but it's a place to help each other out if you realy don't know what to do anymore.
Just my 2 cents and good luck with cooking.

No offence but Ya i know that, and i am not a fool that i will simply ask questions and not search it before.
About OEM3.14 drivers, i ask many cooks i dont want to name them but it seems one of them lost it, one of them modified it in his kitchen and some of them are not replying. Thats why i asked it over here.
And about SDAutorun, i saw the tutorial but nowhere it is mentioned that i have to add it in oem pkgs and edit config.txt
which i know now as our fellow member +Que PPC told it to me.

but i categorized ext only then also but other applications which i am trying by as EXT pkgs like g-alarm, regedit, arkswitch are working!!!!
hey thanks for the sdautorun tut i will work on it.
Sorry friend but it's obvious to me you didn't read at all.
If you ask questions why Album and Audiomanager not showing that's just a simple initflash edit which you can find in the sticky here at Chef Central.
And about Sdautorun offcourse that is explained on the board as well a simple search will give you answers.

@Ankush:
The original intention of Chef Central was to help beginner/aspiring chefs who felt overwhelmed by the task of chef'ing their own kitchen.
That said, most seasoned chefs have no issues providing guidance and assistance providing of course, that you have have taken the time to search the forum. There is a wealth of information available and often times, there is a thread that already provides insight into a particular problem that you may be experiencing.
Most seasoned chefs started off by cooking a ROM for their device using what was officially released by HTC. For example, I first started off with WM6.1 for my Raphael (as that is what was shipped by HTC) using Ervius PkgToolsBuildOS. When I was comfortable with this, I moved to Ervius Visual Kitchen; and then proceeded to inject WM 6.5.x to the kitchen. You have no idea how many times I re-read the Porting Tutorial - a lot!
It is important to provide as much detail as you can when posting about a problem you are experiencing. I also suggest contacting some of your fellow Elfin chefs as I am certain they would be more than happy to help as well - keep in mind that this is a hobby for most folks and that questions may go unanswered for a long time. Additionally, manufacturers, vendors, and operators aren't really keen on what we do so other than the tutorials and information you find on forums such as these ... you're going to have to learn by trial-and-error.
Lastly, as I believe that threads in Chef Central should remain open to help on an ongoing basis, I also feel that it is the responsibility of the OP to eventually mark their thread as [SOLVED] ... hence my initial recommendation that each problem be a single thread. I also feel that you, as an aspiring chef, must take the time to research before posting about an issue you are having.

Thanks for help
Hi there,
The best way to get help is to go over to the Chef Central forum.
WB
how are the url of this forum?
Under google i find many xda forms, but witch of this is the right one?
regarts!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=612
Try a little bit harder next time, and I´m sure you´ll find it yourself.
i don't wanna appear to be newbie bashing, but let's be honest, if you can't put "chef central xda" into google, there's no way you're gonna be cooking roms any time soon.
