I would like to extract a software (Htc media hub) and all neccesary files that are needed to create a working cab from this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304706 Can any1 help me out with this or guide me how to do it. The cab shall be installed on a Trinity. Forgive me for asking here in the hermes forum but I ask in this forum cos it seems like here are all the people that knows this kind of stuff. Please
somone might end up correcting me on this one. You will need a ROM kitchen to do that. Unfortuantely, ROM kitchens are usually only native to a couple devices, and I am not sure if hermes tools are compatible with your trinity. what you can do is check out the tools in the hermes section of the wiki here. usually tools that are posted in the wiki have links to the original threads where they were posted. good luck!
btw that windows media today plugin is pretty sweet!

I would like to keep this thread EXPLICITLY for people who want to learn how to MANUALLY cook and the questions surrounding the topic.

WELCOME TO ROMDonalds!!!!!!!!!
This kitchen is designed for those users, like me, who have been using their devices for a while and want to learn the methodologies behind hand cooking a ROM. By hand cooking I mean manually adding OEM software, adding CAB’s so they don’t have to be installed after flashing, hand editing registry hives and such like.
Don’t get me wrong GUI kitchens are excellent but, to fully understand the processes that go on behind cooking your own ROM,I feel that it should be done manually so you can see and hopefully understand what happens at each stage, so you could say that this is more of an educational kitchen.
.
.
How It Works
There are various stages to cooking a ROM, so when you run “ROMDonalds.exe” you will find a group of files, ordered by number, logically, you start at number 1, and follow the process through to completion.
After running “ROMDonalds.exe” you will find a new folder on your desktop called “ROM Donalds” this is your kitchen.
Inside each of these files are all the various pieces of software you will need to complete that particular stage of the process in addition to this there is an instruction manual that walks you through each step, with background information on what is happening not just the required steps.
.
.
The Kitchen Software
All of the software in this kitchen is available in other kitchens in various forms, some of the software has been slightly edited from original form but not by much, so I do not profess to having produced some revolutionary cooking software as it all currently exists.
The difference is that instead of having a folder full of tools with strange looking names, which would be intimidating and confusing to a new user, everything is sectioned out with instructions.

Thanks:
Special Thanks to Midget_1990 for helping with the software

Did you read the title of the thread?
It is called an EDUCATIONAL KITCHEN, and to be brutally honest, what you are talkin about is building an OS not cooking a ROM!! There is a massive difference!!
Building an OS is the next thing i plan to work on. You should read what the thread is about before you come here and put my hard work down.
Can i have a look at the kitchen and instructions you have released to better this? can i have a look at how you have been helping n00b's learn about their devices without flaming them for asking a question?

to kook a rom with theese utility I spend a lot of time, with bepe kichen, minor time, it's all, and if you don'a accept a good suggestion, sorry, I wrote my opinions about.
and if you know bepe kichen, you know also that is the best to kook and build rom!!!
no initflashes.dat to modify, no default.hv and user.hv to edit: few work to obtain great results.
thanks for the work bennec!
... but I want thank you for the oem apps, they are really many many many many many....
don't be ungry with me, I really think that bepe kichen is the only way to make good rom.

Hey guys try to keep the posts on topic about THIS kitchen you can discuss about other kitchens elsewhere or pm each other.
oh bennec, you might want to edit the first post so it reflects links for Trinity, instead of hermes.. especially the hard spl, etc...
hi all
i'm looking for steps for porting a build from a device to another.
for example 18xx base rom from trinty to wizard or HERMES
i know i have to change the oem drivers and apps, anything else!!
thanks in advance for the prof who answering
You need to port the xip section too. Im no expert in this area and my success rate is shocking. Suppose you want to port a rom from trinity to wizard/hermes...you have to port the xip section from the trinity to the wizard or hermes. This involves mapping out the original address of the trinity xip then substituting the wizard files then remapping and reallocating and edit certain lines of the S000 files. I suggest you read as many threads as you can find for using bepe's xipport tool.
It is very difficult to port a rom. Unfortunately thats all the info I have, you can try pm-ing a few experts to see if they cough up a bit more info but I doubt they will reply.
Cheers
I thought that this may work for other people with different roms (depending upon their phone dialler?).... though I have no idea as I have only installed schaps 4.20 (ever!) and its works a treat with that.
Schaps 4.20 thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1722522#post1722522
Please just post a 'yes it works / no it doesn’t with xxxxxxxx rom' in this thread for others reference. However, please delete this post if this link is useless and its only any good on Schaps 4.20 Rom.
Regards,
Gazzamit.
PS: In Schaps (and others?) you can also obviously just slide open the keyboard and type name as well...

Well maybe you could kindly tell us what that dialer plugin or w/e is called and/or give us a link?
A link would help
Link is in First post
Hi,
The link is in the 1st post in this thread. Can’t you see it? (it’s the only link)
It links to the specific post that I did within the Schaps thread which contains the usage instructions.... they work with the phone dialler that’s part of schaps 4.20, but I have no idea if it will work with other roms (or the original rom, as I just got phone and went looking for WM6 upgrade and then flashed Schaps 4.20....)
Sorry if that was confusing....
Basically with Schaps 4.20 when in today screen, I can slide out hardware keyboard and type in a name and the phone goes direct to the phone dialler and displays a list of contacts which contain the letters I have selected.
What I describe in the thread I linked to in the first post is a way of doing this using just fingers and soft keyboard assigned to button 5 press and hold.
Regards,
Gazzamit.
Hopefully not now so
