Hi everybody...
Like many many people, I've following some threads here at XDA about the releases of WM6 Roms since de first XDA-Live to the newest black 3.0 rom and all of them have a lot of really good things...
I've learned to make custom splash screens thanks to the guides of MrVanx and using the Tadzio tools could modify an OS.nb (the one from the Doppod release thread) file in order to free some memory by cutting off things like the sample pictures and videos, ringtones and trash like that that is embledded in the ROM...
Now I would like to go the full way and customize even more my own ROM...I would like to remove some programs and utilities (in fact for me they are useless ) and even attached to the ROM some other programs like JasJamming or Dutty have already done but here comes my problem...I'm not such a guru and still have a lot to learnd about modifying a ROM and the question is as stated on the title: Where can I read and learn about the diferent files in the ROM???
I dont want to remove important folders from the rom... but the name of the files dont tell anything by itself (at least not at this point to me) so I really will apreciate if you can point me or give some suggestions about where to star...
I think its a lot better to anoy you with this post, maybe get some usefull help and thake the time to learn; than screw my TyTn and be banned after posting something stupid like I brick my device what to do ...
Thanks in advance !!
regards
Mablan
I know alot of the chefs on here are top notch and use a method of not using RGU files in there ROM.s but I need a good base WM6.1 ROM that I can extract using Core Kitchen and alter as I fancy having a go at making my own. However I cannot find a good base WM6.1 ROM to develop that doesnt have the RGU fiels taken out. Any Ideas on which WM6.1 ROM is good to start cooking with ?
good shout!
I'll second that!
I'm about to embark on a project too...
ALWAYS try pandora naked, download the kitchen from the thread as it has all the tools in the zip already broken into OEM/SYS. The latest build is pretty good and its the one im using in the new ROM im flashing tonight at some point (V7).
matt_rk is pretty swell about releasing the rom bases etc... so i wouldnt worry about it being behind in terms of versions alongside the latest builds of PaYs / Ks rom etc...
Has anyone made a rom kitchen for the dash? Or successfully extracted the files from the OS?
I really want to cook a custom rom.
I did call me the cook...
I will take that as ricky or Kavana have it and thats about it
For all the lurking I have done on this forum that is all that I have seen, I have not been able to locate a rom kitchen yet. However; I think that there would be a whole new mess of questions if someone just posted one up. All in all, it would be nice, but the amount of hassle it would cause for the experienced people would be too much to deal with.
ROM cooking tutorial
Hello,
I think it's not really a ROM kitchen but it´'ll help you cook a ROM yourself:

Enjoy yourselves and post about what your cooking experiences!
Cheers!
Hello People,
I wonder if someone could give a small tutorial how to start cooking your rom, maybe something as easy as putting a NLD wm into a 1.93 stock rom. I have been searching and downloading several kitchens, but nowhere is told how to start or what to need.
I really would like an example or walktrough the basics. I think I want to cook my own roms too, and I know I can bite me into these things ... never a cook too much is there?
I would be interested too. I have seen Kaiser kitchen but I never seen how to remove application from a room or add new one.

Oh and it was lolek74 who posted the thread, thanks
Hi there, I am after some advice, im currently running Gen.Y R2 D2 but am looking to move back to a more practical ROM rather than a graphically superior ROM.
Im going to miss a few of the features and wondered what will work with this ROM as being older (unsure of build as not stated and not currently running to check if 21xxx+).
1) The HTC notification enhancement (if would work, which files would be needed - cab file available?)
2) Most up-to-date working Youtube app (bearing in mind ROM build)
3) Most up-to-date camera & album builds (bearing in mind ROM build)
Many thanks for any advice given

Hmm I may look at that but im not someone who has time to flash frequently so I have to do so carefully and do my research. Ive used Nataly before and was very impressed, even after all this time, its still benchmarked as the fastest ROM for day to day life. RAM and program memory is outstanding.
My issue with trying the Dia Duit ROM is that although based on the Nataly ROM there is no documentation of changes or new RAM % etc....
I know its updated to TF3d2 but im moving back to Nataly to get away from this as although its nice graphically is to thirsty for my little diamond lol
If I was going to stay with TF3d2 I would stay with Gen.Y as this is by far the fastest and most stable rom available so far IMO.
This is why I thought if I could just add the few things I wanted to take to Nataly ROM then I know thats all Ive added.
Thanks for your swift reply
Why don't you try this?

As well, there's kitchen with many extra options and new drivers - only problem that it is in russian, but you can always download the kitchen and swap the drivers around. I did it, and it improved memory a bit, as well as overall feeling

kitchen itself

you might consider BSB 6.5 L, once again version L, as i have tried all the others and this one is by far the best, Ram on startup 42%, seldomly goes over 50%, very fast, very stable, and with m.carroll pure2 black vga u get the most exquisite graphical appearence in tone with the diamond, youtube working, camera working, bt and sms thread not working on default install but fixes provided, radio 1.15 recommended
This is the answer

This IS the answer but if you study my first post I was asking what files need to be cooked in for notification enhancement etc....
But people keep suggesting ROMS lol
Im trying to find BSB 6.5L but can only find BSB 6.5R and 6.5.1A at the moment, doubt i'll go for this as Ive tried 6.5 before and the honeycomb menu is horrible, its just to messy!!
Thanks for all of your suggestions though
Actually, above are links for kitchens, so there you go.
BTW - you can download kitchen for diadiut too.... Try some cooking, it's fun

Thanks again, maybe im making hard work of this lol
Im happy to try cooking but im after the files to include in a package. I cant just download a kitchen as the packages are broken up into all different directories so trying to figure out what belongs to what is almost impossible.
I was just hoping someone could indicate what files would need to be in a kitchen to enable the new notification enhancement for example.
Nevermind ill probably just stick to Nataly. Its simple but powerful, and more importantly - I know whats in it....
Thanks anyway
bsb 6.5L:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533
under older releases, currently only kaiserrom link working:
http://customroms.com/BsB65L.zip
honeycomb? don't think it is used anymore in this version, but i might be wrong.
if u would like to try it and need the Jocani folder sorting (in English) pm me and i can send it to u per email (the cab i downloaded seems to install it only in Spanish so I had to modify it).
it is an excellent rom for daily usage, gps working wonderfully (igo and miomap)... hope i been able to help u a bit
