I own an htc shdaow and would like to know how to merge two roms i hvae or edit it...please help is need to put this phone to rest...
Please explain your situation a little bit more in-depth; what is it you are trying to do by "merging" or "editing" the ROMs you have?
Well...
i have a wm 6.1 rom and a 6.5 rom and wanted to merge the two cause some of the apps on the 6.5 are need on the 6.1 and vice versa
And with the editing i would like to edit the 6.5 (which is easy i think) so i can add some apps and remove some so forget the merge i just want to edit a rom
link to rom http://wiki.allshadow.com/index.php/Shadow_6.5_Red_rom
Well. To simply put it - Find the fora about your device and read, read, read and learn about your device.
Then learn how to cook for your device.
If I was in your circumstance, I would dump the two ROMs and then look through the files that make up your ROMs.
For instance, I would take the first ROM and dump it. I would then create a kitchen with those files.
Then I would Look at all the extension files that are created with those ROMs, seeing if there was anything that I could use.
I cook for the Wing/Herald - a legacy device. I use packages from the Touch2 (Mega) ROMs; I use a vast majority of these packages to help keep my Wing updated.
Thanks but i learn how to cook them but the problem is that i have to sort them or something..is these a easy way to do this?

Nope, there is no magic wand for cooking!
also make sure the roms you are trying to merge and edit are stock roms and not custom roms made by you or anyone else.. because dumping a cooked rom is not possible (yet)
The HTC Shadow is a pretty old device now. I have one myself and cooking for it is definitely not easy. Best way to do it is to get a NBH editor type of tool.... dump both ROMs... and just insert the apps u want from another into the other. If u REALLY want to cook for the Shadow... erofinch made a kitchen a while back, but it's a big hassle to cook the normal way for it. I'd say install your apps via .cab and get it over with
p.s.

please, write me, or give a links to threads, where I can do understand, how to Extract (unpack, deploy) any ready ROM? That question is only for me, as a single user of preferred ROM.. but I dislike, some absolutely unneeded things for me..
Waiting for your advices
There is no thread, link or anyway that you can extract a cooked rom and just remove some pack and repack. All cooked roms are protected. Although there is still a way search for reconstukcook something like that on xda u will get it, but again if you have some knowlege of cooking then only u can do that.

About the 6.5.5, did you succed in any build? Because I couldn't boot anything that I built with manual file replacement, replacing only the modules that were already on the ROM, neither using the "small automaticall" l3v5y kitchen.

Thanks hdubli!
You're a "quietly brilliant" cooker!
Keep up your good work!
But I also have two questions:
How did you rescue your bricked TG01? Or do you have a new one?
I saw that your Rom uses much RAM. Do you think that you could optimize the RAM? That would be a major step in the right direction with our TG01
Best regards and have a nice weekend!
DunkDream
HI,
Thanks for comments, but i am just a normal person
I have my briked tg01 as well with me.I borrowed one of my friends tg01
Yes the RAM consumption is an issue.One by one need to check what can be done to stop unwanted programs thereby increasing free ram with sense
I will post the ROM for you guys to check ?
pls let me know
Hi hdubli, happy to see that many cooker are working on our great tg01, thanks for your work.
I can't wait to see first 6.5.5 rom with full sense and htc UI without the limitation of 20% battery.
If you want an unbranded rom start cooking from the italian one.It's completely unbranded .
I hope you'll insert the multilanguage support in your future roms.
Thanks again for what you are doing guys.

Hey hdubli,
sure, you can post the Rom so that we can check on the running processes and see how it's doing.
I'm sure that many people would like to test your Rom since your a great cooker. You proved that with all your others Rom in the past.
Looking forward to try your Rom. Also looking forward to your WM6.5.5 Rom

I thought about that too, cuz with an autoinstaller able it's so easy to install whatever we want to our little one after flash and before first use, but... I think that it's not the way to go because he says he doesn't want anyone to COOK with his driver.
hdubbli, I would be glad to have a look on your ROM, and other things, If you can send me a PM with a link to download it would be helpfull I think. I will give a look into RAM usage also.
Nice, DL link, let's see what's inside ^^, can you make us 2c about the files modified to make it work?

Hey hdubli,

That are great news man!
Do you already have a release date for that kitchen or will you first release a WM6.5.5 Rom?
Today I'll flash your Sense Rom to see how it works.

Well since summer is here, and after trying a lot of custom roms for my hd2, i need some advice on porting the TG01/T01A rom to the HD2.
3 reasons why I want to port the tsunagi rom to the hd2.
1 is because of the Japanese support on the T01A rom, not just so i can view the fonts but also enter hiragana/katakana/kanji.
2. after owning the tg01 (rip tsun-tsun) i miss the toshiba keyboard. it might be possible to extract the stripe interface and the toshiba keyboard and install it no?
3. Plus I have nothing better to do so i figured why not.
I started the actual process today so I haven't gone that far yet. Right now i dumped both the T01A and the TG01 roms (downloaded from Toshiba, dumped with this kitchen) I figured i port the english rom first then after i successfully port it, i'll move on to the japanese rom. So far that's all I got, im gonna start dumping either the 2.10 or the 2.13 HD2 rom from t-mobile sometime today.
So to all the veterans out there, any tips?
so i started working on this today, what i did was dump the tg01 rom then move files from the tsunagi dump to an hd2 kitchen. then i cooked a rom. didnt really think it was gonna work and i was right. i assume its the toshiba setup running at startup causing it to freeze. probably need to disable that application and cook it again. heres a pic for those interested.
like i said any tips would be appreciated.
actually I would love the tg01 interface on my hd2 keep me posted I am very interested in the development of this
are you just cooking the modules in the phone and seeing where it goes or...
are the modules okay for visual kitchen??? I'm curious and have you spoken to one of the mods to see if they can help

well what ive done so far is dump the stock tg01 rom from toshibas site and try to add in toshibas stuff (the keyboard and the menu). thats pretty much as far as i gotten. i believe its all in the oem folder on the toshiba, plus im trying to convert that oem into ext but so far the tools i tried to use isnt working for me. this weekend im gonna look into the problem a little closer since i have the time.
actually I would love the tg01 interface on my hd2

that interface looks really good doesnt it? actually the whole point of this project was so i could use the docomo japanese ime from the toshiba to the hd2, plus i know a bunch of people with hd2's around here, and i wanted mine to "pop". haha
Seems good.
It's better if you can post the dump files if you wish, so that others can look in to it.
yeah ill post the tg01 dump later, i just got home from a bonfire. summers doin good for me so far. haha. hopefully this thing shouldnt be too difficult. btw if u do obtain a tg01/t01a rom dump, the files in question are in the oem folder, they one of the folders start with an S and the second starts with a T. i dont exactly have computer access atm so i cant tell the exact folder name.
edit: so the folders are called tsbapl and sysapl. this is located in the oem folder from the tg01/t01a rom. if we can somehow incorporate that into the hd2, i think that'll be it. i tried a couple oem -> ext converters from the t01a forum but it didnt work, me thinks its cause my computers acting like a monkey and i have to reinstall windows.
Great initiative Caffeine, I too, would love trying out Toshiba's UI on the HD2
i pm'ed Nokser, an active tg01 rom cooker for help. he seems pretty busy but he gave me some info. the toshiba keyboard and the toshiba interface is located in the tsbapl folder from the dump. i went ahead and uploaded the tsbapl folder for those of you who want to take a look out of it. i'll try to get the keyboard working first, then hopefully the stripes interface.
hers the tsbapl dump. http://bit.ly/azhlYP
btw does anyone know how to convert this to a cab? "oem -> cab". the tools i found dont seem to work for me.
I create for you .cab file
Only, you had to test if it works

that sounds fine, thanks for helping me out bro.
I have done some cooking as well, mostly personal but I am willing to help out. Just got back from android land and its been awhile but I will get it together again quickly. Let me know how I can help out man.
well right now what ive been doing is simply adding the folder to the oem folder in the hd2 kitchen im using. that didnt work because as far as i can tell a toshiba specific app runs at startup so if we can somehow disable that app it'll be working.
so i havent really worked on this much (lately since ive been busy) tbh, but anyone have any ideas on what i should do?

If you dont know how to do this with coding and real development please ask a developer to help you, or a moderator to remove this thread due to halted development. Thank you
im not gonna lie the only work ive done to this was take out programs from the extracted oem folder. thats pretty much what im doing, trial and error, i just need to figure out whats running at startup thats causing the phone to freeze up. so far i tried reading the dsm file with an editor but it wont show me what file its making run at startup.
im in the process of building another rom.. hopefully i get it down.

Compiling a new Software is very hard work. I'll be more than add + remove. Good luck.
O.K. i have looked for the answer to this question and the closest i can get is from a post in 2006 using Hypercore. So with that said i am sorry if i am overlooking the the answer somewhere. i love the WhiteStone_WM6.5_D4C2_21905_COM2_PV built by "pdaviet".The problem is that I would like to open this rom and add a couple of thing to it wrap it back up and put it back on my phone. How do i do this. i have been trying to figure this out for 6 hours now and i am about to lose my mind not to mention my eyes. any direction somebody can point me is appreciated.
Try this method, and ignore posts that say you can't dump protected roms. You may need to change settings, depending on the device.

thanks again i only need this to add few apps in a custom rom.i dont know much about cooking but i am trying to learn with help ofnice people like you.
Just install them by using cab files. Much easier (and safer!).
Recooking roms is not something you are able to learn in a day or two.

i know it is not easy but can you please tell me how can i modify this to extract leo rom.thanks
You're gonna need to modify the ini files in the tools folder. I think you'll need to add the HD2 to the list in htcrt.ini and htcrt_devices.ini, and then get a Leo.htcrtproj file. The easiest thing would be to download a Leo-specific kitchen and get the files (or maybe the settings that you need.). I've never done it before, but it looks pretty easy. Just open the files with notepad, and you'll see what's missing.
thank for reply .i will give it a try,
Hello
I'm looking for some hints about the subject: how anyone can take a shipped, let me say, HTC Desire rom and let it work on HD2.
I'm not talking about doing heavy tweaks, modifications and so on... just to take a stock Android ROM and have it working on HD2.
I asked to some chefs and received some hints but It's not enough.
I don't want to think that this is a "secret" and I think would be great if some chef would share his experience/step-by-step instruction on how to do this.
As I said before, I think we could start just with simple porting of a stock htc desire ROM, just to understand all the steps. I think that further steps on how to customize and tweaks will be explored later and anyone could experiment itself.. but we need a basic starting point.
Some step by step instruction will be great like:
1) Download shipped rom from here .........
2) unrar it in linux folder
3) copy this folder, rename the other one, dowload this file, copy this...
4) execute shell command XXXXX
5) copy on your sd card
6) boot...
of course I know it's not so easy, but is just an exaple on what I ask here. I think there are a lot of other perople looking for this.
Thanks to any chef/dev that would to explain to our noobs how to get the "magic"
p.s.
I ask the moderators to keep, if possible, this thread in the Dev forum... this because we need help from devs here and in the Q&A forum it will be never noticed.

Yes, I was pointed to that thread too. If you look at the end there are some questions I did. The problem is that is based on MIUI... That is already a custom ROM.
I think the better way to understand the process (not just do it) is to have hints on how to port a standard/stock HTC DESIRE rom.

Hello, I was just replying on the other thread to thanks you for the answers
I will try to follow your guide to port a stock desire rom (strange that are laggy for you... for me they fly...)
Anyway it's still something not clear about the donor files... If it's ok to take them from an already HD2 working rom or not.. but I will ask on your thread, avoid to make confusion
no one tip from the devs?
I'm start thinking that instructions on rom cooking for hd2 is like a secret

you can start with one of the hunderd rom that chefs already cooked. This thread is just to ask help with cooking a rom, you have not to wait.. you already can use android daily on your phone.

Did you cook a MIUI rom or a Sense rom or a stock android rom?
For the cedesmith's initrd.gz I was thinking the same thing.. maybe we have to ask directly to him.

Rafroid
Typhoon
best roms on xda. Really nice work guys!
But still, no one shares the "secret" I have tried several things myself, but it didnt work. Would really appreciate if someone could share how to port a rom to the hd2.
Yeah would be great if tyween and rafpigna let us know how they managed it, what guides/reference they started of on or if they have any tips for us etc
I totally agree, I would definitly cook my own rom if I knew how to...
