Hi Guys,
Can you pls point me to where I can get a working kitchen for the Omnia II including OEM?
I've just got a device from a friend, and would like to cook my own flavor on it. Also I'd like to see how Samsung structure their packages, and if something can be used for my old blackstone.
I've been looking, but I couldn't find a proper kitchen.
Thanks
Edit:
found the following tools:
osKitchen Zero for Omnia 2
Original kitcken for Omnia2

how i can build my own cooked ROM
Which device? Almost all devices include a cooking tutorial for them so look into those
i am also looking for a kitchen for trinity but for windows vista...can't seem to find one that works...
Hi, I'm also looking for a tutorial aimed at no specific devices.
I mean, informations on how to start, what to study, not a kitchen guide.
I'm interested in bin to nb0 conversion, and other needed stuff..
I'm looking forward to build a custom rom (nothing big, I just want to remove some embedded stuff that conflicts with 3rd party apps) for Samsung Omnia / i900.
Any help appreciated, thanks
Ok, I came to the point where I would like to see if it's possible to cook my own rom. There is, however, so much (cluttered) information around the forum and I just have no idea where to start. I did figure some stuff out, but with everything I find out I also get more questions. I hope I'm allowed to ask these here.
Windows Mobile / Sense:
I am planning to begin flashing a rom only for my phone: Rhodium / Touch Pro 2. I just don't realy get how I can get the latest version of windows mobile (the on with the start menu at the top left) and sense (2.5.2015 ?). The stock roms I can find for Rhodium contain older versions.
Kitchens:
There are quite some kitchens out there, even those that do a lot of work for you. To understand everything, however, I would rather get a kitchen with only the essential tools. This way I am hoping to understand what steps are needed for the cooking. What kitchen would be recommended for this?
Terms
There are lots of terms around, but for some of them I can't figure out what exactly they are.
- XIP
- SYS
- OEM
Thanks!

For WM, you should find the newest version of COM2 build, which is Build 21905 at this moment. It seems that not mentioned in XDA, but you could Google for that.
I think you should be able to use these essential tools, often refer as "old style" kitchen
ImgfsFromDump
xidump (ImgfsToDump) and DMP2PKG
osnbtool
BuildOS
EXTReloc
XIPPort
maybe there are more tools when you need to repack back to nbh format
For Terms, you should read Da_G's post here

I will tell you this....
read the tutorials... check the main stickie
read eve you dont understand nothing... then when you want to start trying things, you can ask.. with some knowledge.. the lates kitchen to date is Oskitchen by airxtreme and osbuilder.. i guess
Not to be mean but like +Que PPC said READ FIRST you should have look for information first and found this answers by your self ... Now about the systems and xip ext, sys, modules, cabs and all other stuff like that you will learn them when you start working on a kitchen.
About the kitchens there are various kitchens it just deppends which one you want to choose, all the kitchens will help you create your rom and customise it, and also one recomendation and requirement that you should have in order to create your own rom and that is patience and time, because you will need to look for alot of info and also looking for fixes and customisation and all of that.
Here is another kitchen that I recomended thanks to +Que PPC with the tutorial with videos in english made by me.

PS. Search & read first
XIP = eXicuteInPlace -- it's the core of the entire OS. Without it you got nothing.
XIP is made up of 2 main parts:
oemxipkernel - device specific
msxipkernel - build specific to SYS version
SYS is basically all the microsoft files
OEM is basically all the device specific files, and nonMS applications
If you have a CDMA Touch Pro 2, I have a kitchen here all set up for you:

If you have GSM, you will need to change out some components of the kitchen, specifically xip and oemdrivers, plus a few other things.
Hi everyone.
A few months ago i started cooking my own ROMs for Samsing i8000. With a little work i got my first few stable Lite / ULite ROMs with multiple addons, tweaks etc. running on my i8000.
Now i wondered if anybody could provide me a Sense 2.5.2019 (or newer) package for cooking into my rom. I searched through multiple forums without any results. Some other users gave me packages but none of them worked for me.
The ROM I'm running is JH2, Windows Mobile 23103.5.3.3. The i8000 resolution is 480 x 800 (WVGA).
The problems i encountered so far: When cooking in Sense, it showed up under 'Items on Today' but it wouldn't launch when enabling it. The only way for me to start it was executing manila.exe directly from the Windows folder. But then, every tab was just blank. The slider was there and usable, but every tab was just black, except the home tab which only showed the clock.
A German user provided me the german .mui files, but until now he couldn't answer if the .mui files caused my problems or not, but i think it has something to do with the packages i got.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Regards, JJ
I have searched and asked whether there are any updated OEMDrivers for the native Blackstone 6.5 Kernel? It appears some of the Topaz 6.5 OEMDrivers are compatible with the Blackstone 6.5 native kernel and there are ROMs out there that have these drivers integrated? In the dump of the latest official Topaz 6.5 ROM lots of the .dll files from OEMDrivers are modules that get dumped as single files in the final Blackstone 6.1 ROM. I think due to the memory differences between 6.1 and 6.5 this is beneficial for Blackstone WM 6.5x ROMs with the native 6.5 Kernel?
I don't have the luxury of going through each of the files/modules and cooking ROMs as I only have a single Blackstone and its my only phone. But it does appear this has already been done by some of the Blackstone chefs? If someone could let me know what modules/files I can transport from the Topaz to the Blackstone I'd be grateful - maybe an upload of a converted/updated Blackstone OEMDrivers kitchen folder?
Many thanks
Andy
The Mikenificent ROM contains some updated Topaz Drivers apparently? The chef isn't responding to PM's and any other requests I have made have gone unanswered so does anyone have a dump of this ROM or the OEMDrivers folder?
The link to the Mikenificent ROM has also gone...
Andy
Hi Andy,
I've tried my self, but it's not an easy task.
I'd suggest to identify the target drivers you want to improve from the original Blackstone 1.59 ROM, and then create cabs with the Topaz drivers and install them on top for a quick try. You may need to recmod some of them.
I have tried a few of them, but some are not compatible (E.G.: smarttouch)
An alternative is to ask someone of the users on the mikenificent thread for a copy of the 13.3 Rom, flash it and get a copy of the drivers he is using and compare with the original blackstone drivers.

That's probably the best approach. With 6.5 kernels, you can convert all of the oem drivers to modules (in my experience), and there will definitely be more modules among the drivers in 6.5 roms compared to 6.1 roms. If you want to test out some from a topaz rom, dump the rom and then recmod the ones you're interested in. I would just copy them into \windows with total commander or resco explorer, and over-write the rom module. Soft reset, and see how it works. You can do several at a time. For the hell of it once, I converted all of my oem driver dll's to files and then over-wrote the rom modules with the files to see how the device behaved. It worked ok (more virtual memory is used, though), and all of the files did load into ram properly.
I think this is what you are looking for.

Hi, thanks for the link but I already have that and thats what I am using in my Blackstone 6.5 ROMs. Its the OEMDrivers folder I want to update/replace with Topaz drivers that:
1. Work perfectly on the Blackstone
2. Are newer and written for WM 6.5
3. Offer better performance than the latest Blackstone 6.1 drivers
I have already re-moduled most of the 6.1 drivers however I can't see any performance increase with doing this - I think it is more memory efficient to have modules but since the drivers are essentially the same they perform the same
I have already asked in the Mikenificent thread as well as PM'ing Mikenf(?) and haven't heard anything so far...
Thanks, Andy
Half the fun of cooking is experimenting with the ingredients and settings. I suggest you just get the drivers and find out for yourself.
Topaz Drivers for testing on Blackstone
Hi,
I did a comparison of all drivers Blackstone 1.59 vs Topaz 2.53.
Attached you will find them, split by function (some of them unknown).
I'll be start doing some test myself using some in my next roms and advise
If you test and work, pls also advise.
Any new news here?

Hi all,
i have just bought on ebay an Opal as spare-spare device (and to play with...since i like cooking )
I have cooked for Raphael, Rhodium and Kaiser...and all of them have a native 6.5 nk.exe.
I want to ask if someone wants to share the nk.exe they use with their wm6.5(.x) roms, since i never edited one.
My experiments will lead to a rom that i will publish here on Xda.
I want to hear also suggestions...since i am starting from 0 with this device (i had an Elf 3 years ago...but i remember few things about OMAP processors), i don't know if packages from latest Mega rom will be ok or slow down the device (on Kaiser they work very well...but processor has a double speed).
I want to say an anticipated "thank you" to who will help me
Hi Monfro! it's nice to know that someone new is interested in this device. I too have tried many times to find the 6.5 kernel for opal, but unfortunately it seems that nobody has ever created. I still cook my rom with kernel 6.1 and with oskitchen, but I have many problems... I unfortunately do not have the skills to change the 6.1 kernel... I know that ervius kitchen has a way to modify the kernels, but I don't know how it works...

Thank you for your quick reply.
I will try too to use nk.exe extracted from wm6.1 rom.
From what i can see your roms looks very good...and from what i read they are among the best for this device.
In a few days i will have the Opal in my hands and i will start to play
I myself find more funny to play with older devices like Kaiser and Opal than newer...because with new WM builds and new packages from other devices they get a 2nd new life.
I will try to look also in the Ervius kitchen the nk.exe patcher...but oskitchen is really more friendly

Thank you.
I already found that thread...and tryed to download the package today...but 4shared was down and i didn't succeed.
I hoped to find a nk.exe modified for wm6.5
I will try in the next days.
I already used Ervius Kitchen, but never tryed the hybrid option with nk.exe from 6.1 and the 6.5 sys.
Domani torno in Italia per 3 settimane...lavorerò da casa col mio pc...penso di riuscire a giocare un pò costruendo rom per l'Opal
if you need a tester call me
