Requesting all those great Rom cookers out here to create a Rom with Manila2d in it. No, not on ExtROM but inside the ROM itself. That would be faster better and faster I think.

Integrated Manila 2D into cooked ROM is surely a better solution, however most people prefer a clean ROM. Beside due to limitation of the flash size (32MB i think), it would requires to remove lots of even basic application come with the ROM.
not possible due to limited 32 mb storage. even the mms is not included in any ba wm6 rom so can u think for Manila.

M2D cooked in
I'v tryed to fit "M2D" in a cooked ROM you can get the main files in there' But not enough of the image files, I also did some test builds "without" the calc, media player,dialer,and commManager skins, And Flashed them from "ExtROM" as Themes It Seamed to Work fine But you would still Be adding A large number of files Via ExtROM so not much to be gained (can't say It was any different speed wise)
My origonal Idear was Adding skins to your device like this may, make rom's more fun and the user could change Skins From *.cab files (Themes)
So If you fancy a try and some people are intrested in making some Skins then I'll cook My New V3 and working version of M2D into a "ROM" With all Skins Removed and Post it with One Full Set of Skins in CAB files and folders of files for you to edit and i'll even pack some of your Themes into CABs and we'll see what Comes of it
I would like at least 5 people to be intrested in assisting with skins as I don't Have enough time to do it all
So If you would like to have a GO then you need to say SO or i'll not bother that's my offer regards

I think it is a great idea, manila2 in a cab with no skin, and the default skin in a separate .cab so we can replace and tinker with it at leisure
I am in to give a hand!
Ok people think about it just for a minute, Manila 2D has a size of 12 mb, with a rom of 32 mb even if it is compressed we have to cut a lot of things from main rom to make this possible, and the the stupid questions will come, why this or that not work. Thats why i am working on a proper kitchen so the people can choose whatever packages they want in rom and make it themself. So if the rom does not boot or has audio video formats problems or software compatiblity problems this will be the builder configuration fault not mine or any other rom cooker.
Also you can use my last kitchen but you need to add options.xml in OEM and SYS folder to choose the packages

Well this is good as idea(i mean the complete customization from cabs and saving space from the skins in the rom area) but you have to make manila not to load on startup because without skin it will just crash and you will have to reset, and there will be infinite loop ...

I would love to give this a try, but I don't know enough about the interdependencies of the root packages to build a reliable options.XML file. Could you post a list of the diff packages that are part of the ROM with a notation of which are required, which are nice to have and which can be left out? If you do, then I will try to build an Options.xml file and post it for testing with your kitchen.
I have modded manila2d so the default skin is no more and instead one more of my liking. The resulting cab is 100KB smaller...
It boots fine
Will be posting today

you cooked it in rom or what ?
No, I haven´t gone yet for cooking, I just tinkered with the .cab files in the ExtROM folder.

Hi guys
NO fighting
As my previous post I did some tests and I could get enought of the M2D files in the ROM for IT to boot! and from "rom boot" to "ExtROM Finnish" it doe's not try to load M2D, first load of M2D is after the reset that Terminates ExtROM loading BUT I had to remove 'Calculator,Dialer,WM_Player skins,ring tones and some shortcut, The rom I tested for about 4 days and was as stable as any rom!, And here's a BIG "BUT" Keeping track of all the bits that are needed is a some TASK! in short it will work but it's hard work

I can live without all of the things that you removed as I use alternates for all of them which are loaded into storage anyway and just waste the ROM space.
BUT, as you say, I don't have enough knowledge to know which parts can and can't be dumped from the core ROM. That's why I asked Xplode to make a list. If you can make some kind of list, I'm willing to try and build a suitable options file to be used with his kitchen.
Another thing. I may be slow, but I can't figure out what parts of M2D are in the ROM and what parts are being installed via CAB. I opened the M2D cab and I see that the executables are still in there. If they are in the CAB, what are you loading in the ROM?

Hello again
I didn't publish that ROM, It was a test 'only' My M2D roms have most of the today plugins removed from rom as you don't need them, you can only have M2D plugin running!! If you remove WMP you loose so many formats 3gp etc. There are many things you can install from cab But cannot leave out thay have to go back in, The end finnished rom plus cabs is just the same size so y bother
P.S. If your useing a swampy rom then you can flash new skins from a cab
Swampy, if you cook my modded M2D you will have some 100Kb more to play with in the first place...
Now, if you zip up your ´Removed´ folder after cooking a barebones rom with M2D in rom we can help you build .cabs that would go in ExtROM an hence we would have a much more modular design
Taskmanager is a good candidate to go on a .cab, some people like one some like another. It pains me to see two installed
Swampy, but there is an alternative to Windows media player,
Mplayer, a 4megs cab. Supports many formats, it is lean and a standard in Linux (available for Windows Mobile)
Download MPlayer for Windows Mobile
You could remove everything to do with windows media player and put them on a .cab, then give users a choice; windows media.cab or mplayer.cab

Sorry, but I'm still not following you. In the first post of your 20275 thread and in your sig, you have a M2D version. If this isn't the M2d in ROM version, then what is it? If all that you did was leave out the today plugins, what did you use the extra ROM space for? Also, I never use WMP as almost any other player is far better IMHO (Coreplayer, S2P, Tcpmp,Mortplayer, Etc.) If I don't use it, will I still need its support for diff file types?
Swampy´s M2D roms don´t contain M2D in the rom itself but will install it in rom from the storage card whenever you do a hard reset.
So it is basically loading the extra stuff from a custom ExtROM folder in the storage card
Of course I agree it would be better to have M2D in rom proper and say windows media player in a .cab in the ExtROM folder so it can be easily removed if you don´t want it (I certainly don´t want it)

I agree with gloomyboy. Since there are SO MANY differnt app/utilities that more or less do the same thing, it stands to reason that everybody will have their own preferences. If someone could build a kitchen that really allows you to pick and choose what goes into the ROM, everybody could custom tailor their ROM for what they really use. Unfortunately, AFAIK, all of the kitchens available today only allow periferal change and not major systems changes. I don't know why, maybe it is just my lack of understanding of the core requirements of a ROM and it can't be done any other way. But I can allways wish....

OK, now I get it. I do that myself with my own home grown EXTROM based more or less on Xplode's new release of M2D with all sorts of shortcuts and config files being copied from my SD card into memory. I am constantly changing my cfg.txt file to include newer versions and getting rid of apps and utilities that I find that I don't use. I think that the ROM should contain all the permanent stuff that will fit and I can't function without.
As reg66 said the other day we are a few people cooking ROMs for the Polaris but there is not such a chef corner in the polaris forum. So I propose this thread to exchange techniques, tools, etc.
Anyway I will use this thread as my own cooking repository and share as I learn myself. Feel free to contribute but please keep the posts ontopic. Most of it will be about cooking with 6.1 kernel for QVGA devices.
this 1st post is updated with the relevant information up to post 39 (take me there)
the 2nd post is about non solved specific questions in case one cooker can help another 5 (take me there)
Radios:
Please feel free to report radios tested to run on the Polaris (or links to compendiums)
Which radio to use? depends on the drivers you use...
Kitchens:
Please feel free to report kitchens and sys tested to run on the Polaris (or links to compendiums). Kitchens available are basically three: Ervius Visual Kitchen, Ondraster kitchen (two versions: old and new UI) and traditional kitchens (simply cmd scripts and exe tools, maybe someone wants to share a polaris non visual kitchen). Most of the kitchens come with mega packages, some others come naked or with leo packages. Choose the one that best suits you.
Gullum EVK's Kitchen wm6.5 23016. My first kitchen, I love it. Mega based
Amenatis EVK's Kitchen wm6.5 21891/28008 040C and almost 0409 Very refined kitchen, not only cabs and packages but a very well implemented OEM and Registry. Leo Based
osKitchen NEW UI v1.25 - Easy Visual Kitchen I tested and has easy startup tweaks and splash integration and very good description of packates.
TranMinhMan EVK's Kitchen WM6.5 with MANILA 2.0 at PDAVIET Requires registration. File password: TranMinhMan. See post 7 for direct links to the 3 parts of the file
TomAngel Ondraster's Kitchen wm6.5 builds 23088, 23518, 28008 and 28205 Includes both 6.1 and 6.5 kernel and is Multilanguage (check the thread also to learn how to use the wm6.5 kernel and seems to be working. It works nicely in my ROMs that seem to work better (as if it had a higher PP). There is not consensus on the performance improvement however. The main advantage is to avoid recmoding, since performance it is not so much affected and depends more on drivers. I personally believe recmodded apps open slower but there is no big science behind this thought. Check TomAngel's post for details).
niax kitchen wm6.5.X (by Nikkito) Spanish kitchen at htcmania.com forum - the forum is in spanish, look for a mediafire link in the first post - does not require registration to access the kitchen.
vistang's kitchen (did not manage myself)
Cooking takes lots of time. Be sure you backup your kitchen whenever you have consolidated a bunch of improvements. Sometimes files may get corrupted or if you change many things at a time, it may be difficult to go back to previous situation and also to fix the errors. Therefore, even if it is a pain, I recommned to zip the whole kitchen from time to time.
Another good practice is to keep a second folder with your kitchen tools, in case you have to restore the whole kitchen from scratch.
Kitchen Tools and Scripts:
I have the pleasure to introduce my collection of tools, ready to use with Ervius Visual Kitchen (and I guess, easy to adapt for other kitchens). Please check this post
Batch Recmoding (please donate to xtep): With this tool you can recmod automatically only the modules you want to, since recmodding everything will deliver a slower/bigger ROM (working on windows vista, includes instructions on how to use)
Tools for importing SYS into VK and auto recmod (please donate to xtep)
Dump sorter for the rollup´s of eg Da_G new releases thread
Create a custom splashscreen (steps 1 to 4) and add it manually (rest of steps)...or...automatically when generating the ROM
Pagepool changer (external, do not know if it is the one used in EVK)
Edit hv files
NBHextract (by pof): Extract contents from NBH files
Itsme amazing tools There is a wiki explaining it. Here in this post you will find some hints on how to use

WM6.5 ROMs:
1. Flash SPL: This great tool basically makes safe to flash Custom Roms. Additionally, procedures are well known and available to restore original SPL and ROM in case you need to send your device to a technical service without loosing guaranty.
2. Flash Original ROM (recommended by most chefs, mandatory if you observe inestability issues when flashing a custom ROM
3. Install your favourite custom ROM (most chefs recommend hard reset after flashing)- Some people recommend to removed sd card. I have long been doing the opposite flashing from the SD Card.
Please feel free to report ROM's links or compendium of ROM Links. The only requirement is to add a description of the basic attributes (preferably by the author of the ROM). ROMs do not include radio unless specified, follow the link to see the author's original thread.

You are an end user? Which rom is the best? This depends on your needs. There is some posts about user experiences in this thread and of course on the ROM threads themselves. My advice is to try a few ones, several days each. Then you will have no doubt and that won't kill your device (I did not dare at the beginning but I have flashed my device ... quite a few times...)
You are a cooker and want to be? Do not invent the wheel. Liason with the cooker that is working in the line you like and ask him what you want to do and what is the best starting point. You will be surprised how helpful people can be.

Do not overload your kitchen with lots of releases since the cooking time grows a lot.
SYS Fixes (sticky in chef central)
We use wm6.1 kernel which means it has a limit on the number of modules it can cope with. If you do not get a bootable Rom then recmod some more modules. No consensus on which ones, how many or in which slot. As pcarvalho says, it does not matter if it does the job.
How to update your kitchen to the latest builds?
Does your kitchen suffer S.O.D.? My experience is that is not a kitchen or sys problem, it has to do with oem/ext htc packages (specially htc notifications and volume control) or start menu cooking. However, other people are reporting other reasons such as the tools used to cook or corrupted modules.
Sys description
Best explanation I can give is:
COM1- Builds 217**:
COM2 - Builds 218**: GUI is 1st stage of finger friendly features implemented. This is the only official WM6.5 released to public. All other COM* Builds are leaked test builds (not even classified as alpha or beta). In this range, the GUI introduces softer corners to various dialogs, the new start menu (Very early builds had a honeycomb theme but although the hexagons have been removed, the icon alignments remain), and the taskbar and menubar have been slightly modified to allow for further skinning.
COM3 - Builds 230**: GUI from 23001 to 23021 looks the same as COM2. 23022+ introduced the new shorter/expanding taskbar and finger friendly text-based buttons on taller bottom menubar and ever since its been called wm6.5.1 rather than 6.5..
23047+ introduced icon-based buttons.. New checkboxes and scroll bars and recently (from 23069 i think) a magnifier in the taskbar are amongst the newer gui elements introduced in the latest builds..
At some point (im not sure when, kinetic scrolling was introduced..
It appears that COM4 elements are being introduced into this branch such as the new contact application, a slightly modified sms application, and possibly a slightly modified calender application..
COM4 - Builds 234**: Seems to have stopped at 23420. The newer contact application and possibly the modified sms and calender applications were first introduced in this branch but have since been incoorperated into latest builds of COM3
COM5 - Builds 235**: At the moment little is known of this branch. 23502 is the first build leaked that Im aware of. It seems to have been compiled at about the same time as 23060 but with superior stability, speed, memory management, Newer COM3 builds 23071 and above have been reported to be superior in terms of stability and speed. However the latest COM5 23506 compared to COM3 23088 (build date is identical) seem equally fast and stable. COM5 builds have the new Contact app and Magnifier, as in latest COM3 Builds, but lack kinetic scrolling.
Apparently, the new internet explorer has been modified as well (but Bikertibi Builds have the old internet explorer from wm6.1 because new one does not handle well on our device)
Other branches you might or might not come to see:
AKU1 - Builds 212**
SAM1 - Builds 215**
MD1 - Builds 219**
WMD - Builds 28***: The First Build leaked is 28002 (build date 17th November 2009). As of this branch Windows Mobile is at WM6.5.3. This branch is to continue from COM3 23090 and is believed to carry improvements to the New Internet Explorer Mobile as well as overall speed
Builds 216**: leaked builds that have been played with by the team over at HTC but not officially used on any handset as yet
Builds 236**: Recently came across these builds but have no further info on them

Here I reserve a space to post apps that are optimized for SD install.
There are three ways of doing it:
1. Use mortscript to install on the SD Card. Sashimi great tool does so. In the mortscript source compendium you can also find a script that does it more manually (may fail on some devices/cabs). I never have time to "steal" the code from sashimi's. It is as simple as leaving the cab file in a certain folder. the drawback is sashimi's is kinda slow to launch because it does a LOT of things. btw, great tool to backup emails, wifi and so on.
2. Use sktools: it lets you move files (including dll) to the sd card and is able to create a cab version that saves the installation configuration (sd installation, registry changes, dll moved, etc). Very easy but cabs created can not be opened by all other cab editing apps.
3. Use Wince cab manager. It is more tedious.
At the end I will post here some of these files/links for everybody to enjoy

Using mortscript to cook provxml files with shortcuts and icons
There are several ways to customize the ROM:
1- RunCC: nice looking, can not be interrupted (if so is like a hard reset). Sometimes is tricky while cooking.
2- XDA_UC: mortscript based, has full support for tradicional UC config files (no need to install SDconfig). Can run in combination with RunCC or standalone. Has lots of functionalities for the cooker to create shortcuts, load regkeys, etc. but also for the ROM user (install cabs, xml or reg files, etc while you are using the ppc).
3- SDConfig: You can change bmp displayed as the customization takes place. Can be aborted.
I use 1+2 combined. I basically use XDA_UC to do the customization and control the Radio after first boot and I use RunCC to ensure the customization is not aborted.

As always thanks to pcarvalho for showing all our polaris can work with the latest builds and to gullum, the first one to share a stable and easy wm6.5 kitchen (and of course to all the people who developed and shared hardspl, customruu, cooking tools etc, releases, etc. but that would be endless)

Polaris chef's corner (POLA100) - Non solved questions
In this second post I will try to gather direct questions on how to do something specific. It can not be something like how do I install wm6.5 on my wm6,1 device or how can I cook a ROM. Answers should not be I have read that or that but rather I do it this way and it works. Let me put some examples:
- How can I make top bar / softkeybar transparent with wm6.5 (I am not talking about a top bar simulating the wallpaper, but a transparent one)
- How can I sync time automatically first time radio is connected without wifi or activesync? There are many apps out there that sync time through a data connection but can it be done automatically with cell tower information or gps?
- I have to blips (short sounds) when the welcome screen pops up. How can I avoid the second blip?
- How you cook the connectionsetup ? can the files be in sd card and tell connectionsetup with the corresponding reg key?
- Where and how are bt profiles stored?
- Can I use roms from other devices? and other devices can use polaris roms?
- How can I associate apps with file explorer and resco explorer (eg. txt file with notepad, mscr with notepad, etc).
- How can I bachup and restore my bt pairings (with xml or reg)
- Which splash tool to use so I do not get a black band in the bottom, where the red letters appear?

Alex, try the link with the batch recmoder in post 1. It worked at first try for me. You simply define the absolute path,name and ext of the files to recmod in the txt file and drop the file over the batchrecmoder.exe and it does the job (windows vista here)
cruiserrr said:
- How you cook the connectionsetup ? can the files be in sd card and tell connectionsetup with the corresponding reg key?
- anybody has an oem/ext/cab quickgps that does not give the empty page error and has white letters and dark wallpaper?

About conection setup - i look in registery and find only this reg keys
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\ConnectionSetup]
"provision"="\\windows\\"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\ConnectionSetup]
"provision"="\\windows\\"
cant test it now,
and about quickgps i think its use system defaut color for text (exemple sms input box) can edited on theme file.

Where are those files suposed to be so I can check? I am not familiar since I have been using for a long time Jetware BT extension and it works great with my Parrot. It is great if you have thousands of records and many categories since you can tell which categories to sync so it does not take a long time. I always include it in my roms and its open code.

I checked your german's rom posts. In case it helps, I have BTBPP, BTSAP and BTFTP as EXT modules and they seem to work. However I have them disabled since my BT connects to the carkit without any popus (only 1st time when building the association). In bt profiles (settings) I jave a2dp, hsp, hpf 1.5 (hands free profile), pan, hid, opp, bpp, avrcp, pbab (phonebool access profile), spp, sdap profiles.

Alexander, here are the ext bt modules. As I said I currently have them disable. Regarding the profiles, I would be happy to share them but do not know how they are stored (files, reg file, xml file?). If you know how to locate and share let me now.

In this second post I will try to gather direct questions on how to do something specific. It can not be something like how do I install wm6.5 on my wm6,1 device or how can I cook a ROM. Answers should not be I have read that or that but rather I do it this way and it works. Let me put some examples:
- How can I make top bar / softkeybar transparent with wm6.5
- How can I sync time automatically first time radio is connected without wifi or activesync?
- I have to blipgs when the welcome screen pops up. How can I avoid the second blip?
- How you cook the connectionsetup ? can the files be in sd card and tell connectionsetup with the corresponding reg key?
- anybody has an oem/ext/cab quickgps that does not give the empty page error and has white letters and dark wallpaper?

hummm...is this section for me?
gonna have to get some time to answer some of those...
ill start with the last one for now...answer: hack the exe (or just "steal" it from my rom - easier this way )...mine has white letters and dark wall...
meanwhile here is another (on mine it's okay btw): why do most cooked roms fail/stop to play music when device screen is turned off? its not wm6.5 related that much i know, but i dont know what you lot did to break this feature...
cheers
ps: what are blipgs/blip's? lost me there

First Let me say, Everyone has different taste. This is why we have so many different ROM's to choose from. Most all of the ROM's here are good and I find it just comes done to personal preference. Some people like black others don't, some like ROM's ready to go out of the box, others don't and want to configure themselves etc etc.
This ROM is made with some changes from the stock ROM. It uses the Latest MS builds and a few customizations. With some of my personal start menu organization. I like a clean start Menu. I have made some tweaks for speed and stability. I find that our HD2 is already plenty fast for any user so there is no need to cut up and gut out our ROM's to gain some small amount of unnoticeable improvement. I also like to give users the choice in how they like to configure there ROM which is why I use Preset Installer. There will be Many programs you can install from Preset Installer instead of having them built in. I have added a few apps, and a few removed. You can load them from cabs found here on XDA or Through Preset Installer. Or let me know and I can provide it for you.
** Before you FLASH this ROM-YOU MUST HAVE HSPL2 or Now HSPL3 I recommend 2.08 HSPL. See this thread for HSPL and instructions. Please we owe it to Donate to DarkForces Team HardSPL by bepe and Cotulla. Without our HSPL were would you be?

NEW Rom Online
Which ROM is right for me?
Standard: Comes with most all software and apps and is ready to go after flash.
Standard is also a Full version of HTC Sense With all Languages included.
Standard also is good for users who wish to apply themes and or add and remove manila mods etc.
Lite Version: Rom is a light base ROM that can be customized to anyone needs through Preset Installer. This ROM is also faster because all the apps loaded after flash benefit from the Extendir performance increase.
Many of the stock and custom apps have been removed for installation through Preset Installer.
Manila is less than half the size of the ship ROM. More than 3000 files are removed from the windows folder with this version.
Manila is cfc compressed, and all Lang files except WWE are removed.
Manila mods are uninstallable, if you uninstall a manila mod you will have to reinstall manila again from Preset Installer. (Not a big deal only 2 min)

How to install?:
Copy the Extendir folder found in download to the root of your storage card. Flash the ROM as usual, Soft Reset, then go to th Start Menu and select Preset Installer. When Preset Installer comes up you can click next and install the programs or utilities you want by checking the boxes for each program. You can Also choose from one of the Preset Configuration if available for that version. Then Click next and then install. NOTE: A box with a bold check will install automatically to Device, if it has a faded check this means you will be prompted for install location. This is needed for programs that require user intervention like FingerKeyboard Google Mapsetc. Don't let device go to sleep during install!!. Device will reboot after installation. You can remove any of the programs as needed from the Remove programs in System. I have made some new .cab files with shortcuts to my Start Menu folders structure. So if you try to use these cabs on another ROM it likely will not work. Read the install instructions inside the Extendir folder. WARNING do not copy or redistribute any of the cabs found in my Extendir Folder. I name them with LIA to distinguish them as being modified for my ROM. Some of these apps are proprietary and can cause trouble if posted somewhere else.

WARNING 1: Read the Installation Instructions found in Extendir folder.
WARNING 2: Read the instructions and this thread carefully. I take no responsibility for any harm to your device. Flash at your own risk.

Can I see some screenshots chef? It's sound nice
i waiting ... for the best rom ...
I take it a release version of Extendir 2 is on its way?
EDIT: Was installing the most recent version of you ROM the other night, with the lovely new DINIK icons. Had an idea for the regular version - most of the icons from the Start Menu are stored as .png files in \Windows. Can you create an \Extendir\Windows\Icons folder and have them all installed in there? Much like the Manila folder, it would tidy up the main Windows folder a bit, and would also be easier to check which icons you have available (I copied over all of DINIKs icons so I can fill in any missing ones I have).
this will be a very nice rom and very smooth,i love it
Well just waitin to see how it looks, its gonna be an awesome ROM..!!!
Already got a request
This is realy cool. i have been expecting this from you kinda long ago =).
i have a request since all the yammy stuffs are cooked in how about use cookie's tab! i like the up down and left right slide... i hope there are many who also like that... rather installing it might be best idea if its already there....

Hi All,
Just got my new HD2 and would love to customise.
Most threads refer to ROM 1.66 or earlier. My ROM is 1.72.161.3(82124)WWE with Manila 2.5.20121429.0.
Would downloading any of the cabs have a different effect on my `newer' phone or am I good to go?
Is there an idiots guide for customising/changing buttons, wallpapers, etc?
Not keen on changing ROM for fear of c*****g it up!
I am 51 years young and not such a technically minded person.
Thanks.
your first job then is cookies home tab and cookies home tab editor. (google them)
brilliant.
1. ) In most cases You will find also the xact info for which ROM-Versions the mods and apps are applicable.
2.) read through the threads with the different mods carefully and You will find the infos from "experimenters" on which ROMs it DOES NOT work.
Will take You days of time to work through, but believe me, it´s worth it to spare trouble
3.) In case You don´t flash a new ROM follow these steps:
Get a nice Backup Software (e.g. SPB-Backup which I use)
Before any major mod or installing a new app MAKE A FULL BACKUP. So in case a mod does not work for You You can Restore immediately and have Your HD2 on perfect working condition.
After each working installation of mod or app MAKE a cleanup with free "JunkCleaner" and run Registry Optimizer of SKTools to prevent freezes by junk in the registry
Before installing get LEOCPUSpeed on Your HD2 for smooth performance and chainfire´s 3D driver.

Useful notes:
How to add a cab file as a package in your build!
First make sure you have the files you need with a .cab extension. This is the easiest way to do this. Drop the files into a location eg desktop.
.Open osKitchen go to Import
.Select button for cab installer file
.Press Browse and select the .cab file from the desktop
.Under Device Drop down select HTC Leo
.Uder Group select an existing group eg 04 Software, or if you want to create your own group type in the name here
.Under Name type in what you want to call Ext package
.Press Convert
You will then see a window with Operation completed press Ok
Close the windows and go into Ext packages and select the newly installed package!

Wonderful, thank you so much for this release. I'll get cracking on adding the things i wanted to this build and let you know how i get along. Do you want a copy of the updated Copilot cab to add to your builds?
Just in case
@GhostXSeries : Sent you PM on robotic voice.
Btw why are you on such old build for WM 6.5 ?
I wanted to give the option of upgrading the orgional builds so chiefs can have a choice. It was purely an exercise for me to see if it could be upgraded to the 576mb with office 2010 and .net etc.
I also had the phone on stand by with hspda last night and if my battery is right it dropped about 4 percent!!!!!!!
576mb android compatable kitchen now available for download
Thank you very much but now I still cant test your ROM Your link is very slow (
Please upload on megaupload.com, hotfile.com, mediafire.com, multiupload.com,...
Thanks
Sorry I am only going to be storing the images on VBN from now on. It is too much work to upload to multiple sites.
Downloading the Android compatible rom now, looking forward to finally having a nice, close to stock Rom that works smooth.
Keep up the great work.

I am currently working on a sense 2018 version that is also Android compatable. This will be up in the next couple of days. I have got sense working on the build I am just simply trying to modify the base build to tweak it a bit. I will hopefully have a mixture of tmobile 2.10, 2.14 and leo 1.66
Kitchen build has now got Sense 2018! As far as I can tell this is the first Kitchen to be released with Sense 2018 included
Hmm.. tried your kitchen, but (knowing not much about kitchens...) tried to find a project file (.kxml file) to load, but can't find it.
Can it be you missed that one? Or do I have to set up my own?
(e.g. an example ROM would be great)
One question: When the ROM is very small (eg. removed Windows Live and Office) will the memory for data storage be any larger?
one more.. Some imageinfo.bin files are read only. This gives an error when building (because the file cannot be overwritten) Is this ok or an error?

It is very easy to built your own project files. Simply select the operating system on the first screen eg os 21869 (WM 6.5) or 23569 (WM 6.5.5) then when you go into the ext packages screen simply select the packages for the operating system eg:
If you select 21869 then select
01 HTC Packages - This is the list of the main packages
02 Sense 2018 fixes if you want to remove the rss feader,
03 23569 fixes - Do not select this - only use this for OS 23569
04 Tweaks - You can select what you want from this
05 Software - You can add what you want into this folder extra programs etc
If you select the 23569 OS remember to go into Sys Packages and select everything for beginers, and select 03 23569 fixes. This folder updates things like the dial pad and the keyboard etc.
I simply tried to keep the Kitchen rar file as small as possible!
For the read only error, simply right click on the osKitchen folder, go to properties and uncheck an read only check boxes! Sorry about that I kinda forgot the check the permissions on the folder before I uploaded it

Already did - thanks.
I want to remove Sense altogether, also I don't use Office (using a better office suite)
Is it also UC capable? (And, could you please answer my question about the memory gain when the ROM has less packages in it?)

Memory will be better the less packages you remove. If you dont want sense, you can simply de-select all the manila packages and the start icon loader package as well. It is not currently UC compatable, I have not done much work with this yet, but you should be able to download the cab files and add them in to the package.
What other versions of office are you using?
Just wanted to write back to say that I've been cooking away using your kitchen build and it's got to be one of the best one's I've used. I'm so close to perfecting my own Rom and it's all thanks to you.
Have you tried including the Chainfire 3D drivers? When I've tried it's not gone right (this isn't a problem with your kitchen, as i think it's an issue with OSkitchen and the 3D drivers from what i've been reading). Thanks again for this.
