There should be a way. The Jasjar ROM does it from within a file in the Extended rom called Default_Imate_PPC_SA_V5.5.03.cab I believe.

i haven't run that cab on my Jasjar, and i still have the imate initial loading screen, i have found the windows loading image tho
Code:
\windows\welcomehead.192.png
its in rom and cant be replaced, nor does it appear in the registry so atm its not changeable

That's not the one I'm looking for (this one CAN be replaced btw).
I am looking to replace the splash with the clubimate Website adress that comes up when booting. Must be somewhere a *.nb1/2 File.

Agree Carnivor,I want to share it,too.

You have to give the replacement the same name, that's all.
But again: it is NOT the Start Splash screen !

How, i can't overwrite a rom file, using any application

Actually, it CAN be done.. While we were trying to get Chinese/Japanese to display properly on WM5 earlier, as we all know the NLS file as with the splashscreen file are build into the ROM, we all thought earlier that it can't be replaced.
Then a company recently released a Chinese coding enabler program for WM5 and solved the NLS issue, and one of the memeber here Asukal based on that finding released his own version as well. The cab file that Asukal made has a setup file which mentioned something like "usemynls.exe" and instead of replacing the NLS file under window directory, a new self made NLS files is placed under \Temp\wince.nls and I guess WM5 will bypass the build in NLS file when it's running "usemynls.exe"
The "usemynls.exe" seems to be a file included with WM5 as well since in Asukal's cab, it was not included. My guess is it's just matter of finding out how to bypass the splashscreen file to use your own.. Hope I'm making sense here and maybe we can ask Asukal for more info?

Nice guess CL55 , I agreed with you , hope someone good for NLS can work for all of us , I think maybe near future we can change splashscreen same as we did in BA,XDAII,mini .

great! I just have one question : after I generated the new_ExtROM.nb, how do I write it into my Cingular 8525?
I'm guessing that I will have to use Kock v1 to create an NBH file, then use Custom_RUU to write it to my phone, is this correct? can someone clarify this for me please?

Wow. I know a lot of people have been waiting for this one! GOOD JOB AnDim!!!

@darkgemini
Yes That's Exactly How You Would Do It, Or Use Dutty's NBH Tool To Create The .nbh File From The .nb File.

editing registry
hi dreamtheather93;
my 12mb pp size untouched pdxbi1 rom is ready i will upload here soon.however i wanna learn how can i delete unnecesarry programs from rom like cnn or rss reader? how can i delete registry of these programs from rom? and last one, i knwo cab extractor and it produces everything when u extract cab file like nitflashfiles.txt, option.xml, .dsm and .rgu for the kitchen ROM. but how can i add these settings to rom? i know too much questions but i like rom cooking and i wanna learn it

once you've dumped your rom and segregated them into OEM/SYS folders, you'll see most of your packages in your OEM folder, sometimes some cooks put them into SYS folders too!
So, find the proggie, and just get rid of the whole folder with the app.
To edit registry, open the corresponding .rgu file in the folder in notepad and edit it.
I use PackageCreator2.7 by ervius to create packages, pretty nice and simple to use...search for it!
To build the OS/rom, I use PkgToolsBuildOS-5.3
I'm still stuck at a problem myself and i haven't found the time yet to get it working....
good luck m8, looking forward to your roms! cheers

Samsung SGH-i780 (and any other WM device for that matter!): Learn how to cook ROMS

Hi guys,
I decided to open a blog which explains how to cook roms for the i780. There are very few chefs, and cooking is a really hard science to learn without help! So, I decided that I take the time and write posts so that everyone could learn the process in a methodical manner and cook roms in the future!
I'd slowly write posts explaining each step of the process in detail, so that we can have more people learning how to cook and make the i780 community more happening
Head over to this URL to check out the first few posts -
http://i780romdev.blogspot.com
Update:
Attached core kitchen tools that you'll need to use! Enjoy!
cheers
San

I never was a fan of this forum, not sure why, maybe because I use a ASUS P527 and there are not proper instructions on how to create a custom ROM, I appreciate your taking the initiative

I think its good fun to try and figure out things on your own
Non-HTC devices do have a very small fan base unfortunately....and ironically, HTC makes the crappiest devices imo (highly crash prone, buggy, lousy drivers, useless qualcomm processor)!
You can apply the same tools and techniques even to cook asus roms....its not all that different
cheers

wooooooow thanks a lot buddy finally we have it also !!!

To remove a package, you can get rid of the corresponding folders in your SYS folder. But its not recommended that you knock off office/ie as they might be referenced within other apps. You can always take it off, build a rom and see if everything works fine
For example, to remove IE, just delete your Browsing, Browsing_DPI_xx and Browsing_Lang_XXXX, BROWSINGCORE, browsingie, browsingie_LANG_XXXX folders. That should get rid of IE for you! Then you need to recreate your bin!

i have two problems while i am using ervius pkgtools
1. when i open dumo folder it shows

are these important dsm files?
2. when i press build packages it gives this error:
not found: select .os file to extract XIP
and i extract xip file using osbntool as xip.bin
any solutions for both of these?

trojan reported in the attachment
Win32/TrojanDownloader.Zlob.NBP
false alarm?

well last night i finished my own wm6.1 build 20270 128dpi pdxib1 according to your guide i wanna tell what i did to complete it ;
1.i exctracted my rom using i780 kitchen and i got dump folder and i also added some extra tools like ervius buildos,osnbtool etc...then i used pkgbuildos to seperate folders into oem and sys
2. i used oem part from krizky82's kitchen and i add some extra packages using ervius package creator 2.7 and add them with oem_blahblah to oem folder.
3. i deleted windows live and msn messenger from sys folder and copied netcf 3.5 and flashlite v3.1 from krizky82 kitchen. i also used his initflash and rgu file coz i had same structure almost(oem totally same and sys programs also)
4.i looked at both efn's kitchen and krizky82 kitchen and i saw that they have this structure oem,sys and rom and in rom there is xip folder. when i looked at inside xip folder i saw that there is only coredll.dll folder and others are dsm rgu and boot files so my next step
5. i used osbn tool to exract xip.bin and after i got that xipkitchen_beta6 and i choosed the same donor and original and after extracting i got original xip files and i ordered in same structure like efn's kitchen
6.then i used pgkbuildos and let the process starti had some dsm duplicate errors and i delete duplicated ones and later i didnt start xip extract bat and flashable bin bat so after process again i had temp/dump folder
7. during buildos there wasnt any error and i was happy about it
8. using inputTXTFileMaker ( thanks to u dreamtheather93) i got input text and after that using these commands;
mgfsfromdump imgfs_raw_data.bin new_imgfs.bin
del imgfs_raw_data.bin
ren new_imgfs.bin imgfs_raw_data.bin
make_imgfs i780.nb0.payload.body -nosplit
merge i780.nb0.payload.header i780.nb0.payload.body i780.nb0.payload
nbmerge -data 2048 -extra 8 i780.nb0 -conservative
and conv3 input.txt > conv3_output.txt
ren i780.nb0.b000ff !!i780_flashable_bin.bin
i got my flashable bin file yupiiiii i controlled the size of flashable bin and it is 86.2 mb and the size of dump folder almost 125 mb i hope it is ok
now i will flash my phone but is there any possibility that my phone can be bricked ?
thanks a lot for ur guide again!!!
note: i already used i780.bin as 12mb page pool size i did it before kitchen using osbn tool

good job m8
You cant really brick your i780 because of this I've done way crazier stuff....like trying out omnia's xip, drivers of omnia on i780....and nothing's given way
However, i'm hoping you've ported your XIP accurately, and i'm unsure how've you've built your SYS folder.
but, go ahead and flash and see if it boots nothing to be paranoid if it doesnt boot/hangs at startup/throws an error and fails etc. etc. If any of this happens, then we could troubleshoot it together
cheers & good luck

Great job!
Nice start San!
Not even some days left from your first successful cooking and you already best gid on it!
Keep on do it. And we wait for new mods for our best touchphone!
I think now anyone is able to break Eagles wings =P

You have to edit the CPR with the font that you like. Place new font in windows directory of phone and edit CPR with new font. There is a link to the thread on how to edit your CPR in sticky.

The CPR is located in windows directory of your phone. If you are using WM6.5 by Ookba then you have to edit the file name : Titanium_320x240.cpr. Find this file pn your phone, then copy it to PC, where you can use notepad to edit the file. Once done, you need to copy it back to phone.

No.. you don't edit your Titanium 320x240.cpr to "file name.cpr" You have to edit the content of the cpr. Please refer to the link on my previous post.

If you are no longer using the font you can rename the extention with Total Commander or Resco Explorer eg: font.ttf to font.bak then restart phone and delete it.
