This ROM is based on the official German O2 ROM:
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit/index.html
- replaced the localized packages
- removed the O2 operator package (Settings and O2 Theme)
Big thanks to rvbcrs for helping and mirroring
I don’t have an Artemis... ok, my girlfriend has one, but she would kill me if I use that... so the ROM has not been tested.
Please report all problems here.
!!! This thread is not for questions about unlocking the device !!!
- In case that you have questions about that open your own thread -
Download the ROM by reading and clicking the red text
Some screen captures: (again thanks to rvbcrs!)
whAT about to compile it to nbh back? for exam use dopod Radio, empty extrom. And flfash it back?
Bepe ..!
this is cool
Thanks a lot
---updated---
Thought to try using the PDAMobiz package and replace the ROM and give it a try even though it's based on pdocwrite.. Result is an error during writing at some time.. So kids don't try this is you don't know how to recover using the bootloader or you'll have a brick.
------
I'm actually flashing it at the moment... I hope I won't regret this..
... but somebody has to try..

We had some problems to flash the OS.nb using pdocwrite... if someone has a solution for this, please help us

worked with small error, reset works perfect now
I need to upload pics but not allowed here..
Hi,
Can you tell us how you flashed it ? From bootloader results in a CRC/Certificate error.. Using pdocwrite (modified from PDAMobiz) resulted in a somewhat delayed write error here.. So what did I miss ?

press voice command button and press reset -colour bars - loaded success
then used ARTE from FTP site, copied os.nb to arte folder and rename it to windows.nb -run upgraderom.bat.
Update:
Never mind. Figured it out..

Hi,
What file exactly do you mean (filename pls) ? I only know of the PDAMobiz roms which are installed using a batch file.. The only ARTE I know if the official Dopod firmware update but it doesn't come with a batch file..

is your device orbit ?
is it cid-unlocked ?
then use winrar to unpack the (bepe) wm6 wwe rom in this page (written in red). flashed using bootloader method.
after u get german rom installed , run ARTE os flash utility from xda ftp.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Artemis/arte.zip unpack
copy os.nb from first folder (bepe) wwe rom to arte folder and rename os.nb to windows.nb then run UpgradeRom.bat
hard reset, soft reset done.
hello
how to run arte flasher on vista 64bit?
thanks
Requires a reset here since the os.nb/windows.nb update never finishes visually.. After that it works fine (after the reset needed during the missing bmp when customization attempts to start), exactly as you described.. Works great
For those wondering.. Works fine under Vista (32 bit version).. No idea about 64 bit version.

I tried to flash it yesterday with the updaterom.bat file and it just stayed copying to my phone so I thought it did not work, but after killing the process after 25 min and resetting my phone I had WWE WM6 on my Artemis, still I think it is strange that pdocwrite never finishes. Apart from that great ROM some minor issues..
Cant download full ROM, only 24 M and stop, tried few times. Can someone upload to different place. Please!!

bepe, can you tell me how much free RAM you have? I hope that you have more than 30 MB by removing all the O2 stuff. I never had more than 30 MB after a hard reset and some of my apps need 30 but I have only 20 now.
I was wondering if the apps e.g. windows live messenger are still in German?

Why i can't download form this link? I saw that: " 530 Permission denied". Pls tell me why? I want to use English. Thanks!
My Orbit is from O2 UK, does it still have to be CID unlocked to get this WM6 on it?

It really is a WWE rom... I replaced all German files and rebuilded (not edited!) the Registry based on the WWE packages. The screencaptures will prove it
I suppose you really know how to do this stuff. Can you tell me which tools I need for "cookin" my own ROM? I'd like to have it in German and with my own Ext ROM, maybe I can get rid of some apps that waste my RAM. I only need the names of the tools, I'd guess they are on the xda-dev ftp server. And how do I extract the ROM from the installation file? In your signature you have a nice GUI for the Hermes stuff, is it the same for the Artemis. If you want you can send me a short PM in German.
By the way, the link should be: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Artemis/arte.zip thats what people say about error 530
Hi, I'm preparing all you need to kook a italian rom by yourself...
in some minutes 1st part, with programs that you need to extract .nb files from .nbh, and reassemble .nbh as you like, how to dump a rom and how recompile it..
bye!!!
ok, the utilityes you need are:
*** all utilities are ready to download in the end of this post!!! ***
1) nbhtool_trin.rar
2) package_tool.rar
3) nbdumper.rar
4) bepe_kichen_trinity_ita_WM-6.1.rar
Code:
6.1 bepe_kitchen.rar
5) Flash_nbh.rar (included into kitchen!)
6) rgu to xml transform an rgu or a reg file into a provxml file!!
7) dsm patcher to update also the dsms files to respect the rom's os and build version
1) nbtool from dutty is usefull to decompile/recompile nbh , decompil enbh, choose nbh to decompile, you have 1 or more .nb files, windows.nb is that you need, the rom, you should find also:
radio.nb (radio)
first/second_splash.nb (the 2 images shown as splashscreens!!!)
ipl.nb (boot of trinity...)
spl.nb
and other that now I not remember...
................
to recompile the nbh file, just select that you need (os.nb, first.nb second.nb)
for my experiences, try first times only with os.nb, choose the file and compile the nbh files,your rom is ready to be flashed into device...
2) package tools analize the dumped os windows.nb and tell about sys and oem versions, more it creates packages of dumped rom, and insert all files into the 2 system directory "oem" and "sys" with button (menu) "build packages"
3) nbdumper from tadzio, it is the important tool togheter bepe kichen, with it you are able to dump "windows.nb"
put windows.nb into the folder, dos prompt and write:
nbdump windows.nb (then press enter...)
in few minutes you have inside also the directory named: windows.nb.dump, iside you can find all files that will be in rom on your device...
4) now open package tools by bepe, search this directory, and analize, after analizing, click on build packages...
after some time, you in "windows.nb.dump" directory have: sys and oem folders...
this is the real os...
now you neeedd xip directory...
copy windows.nb into the directory named:XIP_extract (that you can find in "bepe_kichen_trinity_ita" tool...
copy it into the directory, rename from windows.nb into "os.nb"
click on "Make_XIP.bat" and then you have "xip" folder...
copy xip folder into "rom" folder in of "bepe_kichen_trinity_ita", copy os.nb too into "rom" folder, so you have rom folder and inside:xip fiìolder and os.nb...
ok...
now, oem and sys folder obtained with package tools, copy them into "bepe_kichen_trinity_ita" tools, and you have:
oem, sys, tools, xip_extract and rom folders, and the exes...
now is ready...
you have to click on "buildos.exe" and the rom will be build, ok, now there is a new folder, "temp", now you have finished, only click on createrom.bat and in few seconds you can find into \temp\ folder a file named os-new.nb, this is the new rom, build .nbh with dutty nbtools, and can flash it on your device!!!
5) to flash put nbh created into folder:Flash_nbh, flash....
next, tools and howto: create extended_roms;create own splashscreens, adding own packages (the packages are additional programs... into I left yet 3/4 packages from mine!!).....
*******************************************************************
I must make all credits also to udK, that discovered with me the right way to kook roms...
and invite all people to make some dotations to him, for the hard work that he made to have a good italian rom to mount on our devices!!!
thanks friend...
*******************************************************************
I think is better to try with udk or lasagna roms to start, they are perfext and logically structured as bepe kichen wants!!!
bye!!!
****************************************************************************************
*
* P.S.: and finally I think that if you decide to use udk rom to make experiments, you have to donate him,
* and if uou want to use lasagna rom to learn to use bepe kichen, also you have to make donations to guybrush.
* they worked hard to translate the rom, you must donete to use theyr roms I think is the only think to do
* to tell them "thanks!!!", really...
*
****************************************************************************************
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
lesson 2:
how make own splashscreen!!!
just open an image or create one, with also paint;
make it 240x320 pixels, 240 in width, 320 in height...
save it as bmp, with 24 bits...
open it with nb_image_converter
convert to "nb"
save it as first and second.nb...
now, if you don't have windows.nb use dutty's nbtools to extract from rom, reuse nbtools to compile nbh, add
in os: windows.nb
in "first splash" the file first.nb
in "second splash" the file second.nb...
compile nbh file and flash into ppc, when you finish, you can see you freferred splash screens!!
next:
create a package and/or translate the exe/mui files in your language with resource hacker!!!
try to open an exe, or first a mui files if there is into the package!!
you can see:
icon (you are able to change it , but is not important for us!!)
dialog, you can move the object inside them, rename or translate strings and other...
string table, here you can change, translate in your language tje strings of mui/exe!!!
and other, but for modify translate this basts!!
see later!!! bye!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
lesson 3:
for mui:
if you have traslated them, you have also to rename: exaple, if therer is amui xxx_409.mui, in english of couse, and you stranslated it into italian, you hace also to rename it by xxx_409.mui to xxx_410.mui!!!
and for italians mui you can use the ones from tynh wm6 Italian rom!!!
and also initflashfiles.dat must be traslate...:
and also rgu files:example:
string: "programs" must became "programmi"
string: "my pictures" must became "immagini"
etc.etc.
howto: CREATE A PACKAGE!!!
ok, download theese utility:
wince cab manager from here:
http://www.ocpsoftware.com/
(full funcional trial for 15 days!!!)
and my utility: packages creator (a little tools of mine!! )
from here:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPPED:
(new version... bugs solved... option improved!!!)
now in bilingual ITA/ENG, and with more option to personalyze your new packages!!
new beta with more and more options to create initflashfiles.txt...
flag:"simulate folder names" on wince cab manager and put reg file into package folder you choice...
example: "...\trypackage\windows\batterystatus\batterystatus.exe"
you have to put reg file into "...\trypackage\to-import.reg" ok???
and here the new beta of package creator!!!
Hi all, from a Bennec83's Idea I released this last version that works with cab analyzer, and make packages from cab files automatically...
*******************************Re-reupped 1st good working release!!! 4.1 *********************
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok!!!!
P.S.: if th bepe kichen shows an error during the kook operation, it will be becouse there is another file (duplicate file) yet present in rom, delete it from other subfolder, not in the package just inserted...
next appointmant to create own extended_rom!!! and some triks on registry (modifing rgu files!!!)
see you!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
lesson 4 playing with extended rom:
howto: create and use extended roms...
ok, have to download the utility htc_extended_rom_editor
I think is all.... (for now!!!)
your knowledge about roms, its components, how to dump, build, add packages are full... rests to edit rgu and provxml...
but in next days....
bye bey and good experiments!!!
*********************************************************************************
*********************************** ******************************
*********************************** UPDATES ******************************
new version of buildos+packagetools, some imporvements, and context menu on packages to enable/disable them by default!!
new version of buildos, now:

thanx, let's start cook togheter
--reserved for packages--
I only hope that my 3d iwill be usefull to be better, and share togheter a lot of packages for our trinity devices!!
see lather...
I love you.
This is what I searched for long time.
Two question.
1) What difference there is between this and Orginiale Bepe ROM kitchen form Hermes.
2) Can I use all ROM that i Want to start the cooking?
....
3) This is possible some mirror not rapidshare? (for example www.divshare.com)
Grazie mille.
Viva il P3600.

1) infinite greetings to bepe for the beautifull tool...
the kichen is the same, only you have os and xip for trinity (after you extrapolated oem-sys folders and xip!!!)
2) you can use all roms you want, also in other languages, but only if they , after you dumped and analyzed with bepe package tools, and have oem and sys folders (and xip folder...), but if you try with roms that have missed files, you must try to insert them into oem or sys dolder, you, after use bepe package tools must see only "oem" and "sys" folder, nothing else, to know that the rom is really ok..., in other case the rom was built in confused mode or with other utilities, that I consider oldier...
bye!!!
and my final point is also share a lot of packages....
for now I think it's all, but in few days I explain also howto build packages and other....
see you!!
ervius, very good tutorial i think it'll be useful not only for italian people but for everyone who want learn how to cook their own rom. Just a tip...be careful, read everything and try to understand how these tools works and check everything before try to flash your device.

Thanks ervius! you are truly "mythical". I`ll read all with much attention tomorrow, now i`m seat in one park bench to 5 meters from the sea.....
Hi...... morf3o.
added lesson 2 (how to create/modify images and create your splashscreens at ppc boot!!!)
at first post!!
see you later to build our first package!!!
I tried this tools with Lasagna 205 ROM.
I arrived to package tools
When I press "Build Packages" I've this error:
Code:
Syntax error map.txt:
tom
tom is the last lin of map.txt.
Can i delete it witouth problem?
At the end I've also the OEM and SYS directory but there are also three file out all directory:
Recorder.exe
Voice Recorder (link)
Recorder.exe.0410.mui
It's ok?
One Advice.
To arrive at DUMP directory and afther to OEM and SYS I found more easy and fast this way:

thanks ciccio but i'd like to continue with bepe's kichen, do you like use it??
ok...
3 files are out, put them into \oem\oemapps\ directory, so you now have only oem and sys directory, then... extract xip etc... etc...
ok!!!
thank's for your answers.
I like also Bepe's Kitchen. GO ON!
For the Syntyax error?

I don't have your error, but if finally you have oem and sys folders, then it works well...
but you can try to delete and post if it work...
bye!!
Sorry for my newbie question...
In my understanding all this tools are working with ROM files you already found "somewhere".
What I want to do first is getting a working ROM out of a Trinty device. E.g. I have a german Vodafone device with the Vodafone custom ROM. I simply want to "copy" this ROM on my Harddisk. No changes. I only want to be able to flash it back if I want to, to have the device in the same state it is now.
Which tool do I have to use?
What do I have to do?
Check this article

Ciao
A question ervius:
we suppose that I succeed to modify/create my first ROM, exists a way in order to test it without flash on my device? A way for being sure that if I flash, i do not burn my trinity....

Your OS is in part2, first two parts are the XIP partition aka your boot sector.
Ciao
I'm plaing in cooking my ROM for trinity
I start from original DOPOD SEA wm6 ROM and merge with ORIGINAL WM6 Artemis ROM.
It's seems to work very fine, but afther change something in XIP (for update OS build and implementes big storage) it appeareads one error.
The [ok button] of phone settings don't work anymore.
If i change the XIP folder with the original one from dopod ROM the Ok button works but doesn't run the conifg.txt at startup.
How can I solve?
Sorry for my bad english.
What do you mean config.txt? Is it the one in OEMOperator right? if yes that one for install some cab after hard reset you need tha file name mxipupdate_zzPIED_101.provxml to be in your rom...
I tried to do as the same as u did but just got xip port and I got a question about merge rom.. do we have to use all sys folder from the rom we want to merge, right? and also which part in OEM folder... Just OEMDriver and OEMAPP, isn't it?
Here is the updated version of my Lg multidevice kitchen. It now supports :
- ks20
- ct810
- gm730
- gm735
- gm750
- gw820
- vs750
::These tools have been made thanks to: MisterJp, CopsFrance, Teoami, Bepe, Ervius, No2Chem, Da_G, Cmonex, Jayautros
This kitchen is now built around ervius visual kitchen for bepe's platform rebuilder. I don't really like write a lot, so I won't explain every option in details, nor will I write a "how to cook roms for dummies", it's already been done in the past, if you know how to search, you'll find very interesting threads on it on this forum.
Kitchen options (use "*" to switch between standard and advanced options)

Kitchen use:
Select the device you want to cook for (1=ks20, 2=incite...)
Take a dz file, and put it into baserom\(your device name) (KS20, incite, gm750...).
run start.bat
execute a, b, c, kitchen options
now copy temp\dump\sys into \sys\(your sys version), and arrange the files so that it looks like the \sys\20755 folder. Do the same with OEM folder (copy it to \OEM\(your device name).
execute d, and arrange xip folders : copy the content of your oemxipkernel into rom\(your device name)\(your ip version) and everything else into rom\shared\(your xip version)
go into tools\xipport. Launch xipport. Click "dump xip.bin"
OPTIONAL : If you want to port xip to another version click "make pkgs". Now replace modules\msxipkernel* and files\msxipkernel* with the ones from the newer xip. Click "undo".
execute Kitchen "k" and when a message tells you so, click "realloc p", "write maps", "build xip_out.bin". And finally, hit a key on the dos prompt to finish this step (DO NOT HIT A KEY BEFORE BUILDING XIP WITH XIPPORT ELSE IT WON'T WORK).
execute Kitchen "l" to use this xip.
execute "e" to launch ervius kitchen. Then select your device, language, ext, rom dpi, rom res, xip build and sys build. Choose the packages you want to include (for your convenience, I included a few packages tweaks and fixes in EXT\(your device name). Eventually click the "create" button.
Optional for Ks20, required for Incite : execute step h to produce a rom.dz file.
Now enjoy your new creation in builtrom\(your device name).
If you want to make a 1st rom easily, or if something went wrong and you want to verify you've done everything correctly, I'm also providing 2 packages (1 for KS20, 1 for Incite) with almost every step already done. They're very similar to the roms I made (xCite2b, KisS20.4). Download the package you want, extract it into your kitchen folder, then :
- Execute step "B" to generate a few files
- Execute step "E" to launch Ervius kitchen
- Optionnaly, try to rebuild xip part with step "K" and "L" (1st rename xipport\out.INCITE.21046 to xipport\out) (I'd suggest doing this only after building a 1st working rom)
- Click Load and select the preset for your device (INCITE_0409_20755 or KS20_409_20755).
- Click create (and for incite users, execute step "H" of the kitchen to produce a rom.dz).
That's it.
If every step was successful, you should have a flash.bin file in builtrom\(your device name) folder and optionnaly a rom.dz.
KS20 : Then just flash with lgmdp your baserom directory and just change flash.bin path from baserom\flash.bin to builtrom\flash.bin.
Incite : either use the usual way (rom.dz replacement) to flash your device or execute step "i" to produce a rom.exe with teoami tools.
Congratulations, you've just flashed your first LG <insert the name of your device here> cooked rom
Before you ask :
- I chose 20755 build because it's proven to be bugfree for Ks20 and Incite (and build is smaller too), if you understood the process, you should be able to build a rom for any wm build.
- Ks20/Incite Packages contain latest available oem parts (spanish 10e unbranded for the Ks20, 10x for the incite). (Incite is the clean version, if you want the full stock oem, just dump imgfs.bin)
- Base kitchen Ext folder contains everything to build a bugfree 20755 rom.
- If you want to make the same thing for wm6.5, just download a wm6.5 build.xip somewhere and replace the files in the kitchen.
- 20755 folder is not in the basic kitchen anymore, but I've made another archive that you can download if you need it.
- as for vs750 roms, you need to use bin (decrypted) files (not wdb). Don't forget to replace step "a" with "t" and step "h" with "u" in the tutorial above. You will need the decrypted roms available in the bottom of this post.
I'm just asking you 1 thing : if you make changes to this kitchen to improve it, please, share what you've done (and of course, if you're using it, you can also buy me a beer)

Thanks for your great job! Hoping that KS20 will have its Cook Rom & WM6.1 at last!
waiting for wm6.1 on my lovely ks20
is this the most actual thread to the ROM cooking stuff
Would like to use french 1f ROM but cook German language into it
Greet`s Erich
I have made a flash.bin with language in german for the ROM HKG 10a, which is in normally in english. So, the HKG 10a is newer than the French 10f. Why to use an older ROM? Find the flash.bin here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/131832687/flash.zip.html
Thank you itapower
many thanx!
Is there something I have to take care of?
Or can I flash it like I flashed the ROM from 10b to 10e?
Did you just change the language or also other stuff?
Is this ROM running without troubles?
Is it locked or branded?
I have unlocked KS20 with vodafone branding right now,...
Greet`s erich
changing language of ROM
don`t know why nobody from the pros is responding
Most of my questions I figured out yesterday - but I am very curious how to change the language of a ROM be myselfe
This I couldn`t figure out
Hope someone can tell me which of the 10 .mbn Files I have to change or is the language in the .bin
Greet`s Erich
Basically, you need to extract the flash.bin, replace *.409* folders with *.407* versions (407 is for germany) that you may find in another rom. That's not a trivial operation, although the kitchen helps a lot. There are tutorials here that explain this with more details (search for "translate" ou "localize" rom).
more questions
Hello spocky12!
I got really interested in cooking ROMS while playing around with the kitchen
But I don`t get the difference between "flash.bin" and "imgfs.bin"
What is included in which .bin
When the *.409* folders are replaced with *.407* and the ROM is cooked
is it enough to flash the "flash.bin" to the KS20 without the "imgfs.bin"
Another question is the Registry tweaking - which I wanna do.
You have a folder in the kitchen "Packages\OEM_Registry Tweaks Pack" there are 3 files.
Is the name random or how is the convention?
The .dsm file is Hex - what is it for?
Is it enough to edit the .rgu file?
When cooking the ROM does it include the changes I perform in the .rgu file?
Hope you help me understanding this a bit better
Greet`s Erich
@eriche : follow step by step the kitchen tutorial, you should see clearer.
- Imgfs.bin is a file contained inside flash.bin (as xip.bin and a few other).
- The files you need to modify are inside imgfs.bin
So what you need to do is:
1- extract dz to obtain *.mbn and flash.bin
2- extract flash.bin to obtain imgfs.bin, xip.bin...
3- extract imgfs.bin to obtain WM files
4- change files
5- rebuild imgfs.bin
6- rebuilt flash.bin
7- flash new flash.bin + original mbn files.
For Registry tweaks, you can directly change rgu file in OEM_Registry Tweaks Pack. When you rebuild you imgfs, it will be automatically added to system registry so you dont need to create a new package.
7- flash new flash.bin + original mbn files.

Isn`t it possible to flash only the .bin file
With original .mbn files you mean the one from the Base Image where I change the language or the Image where the Language is included
Greet`s Erich
You should be able to flash only flash.bin but I can assure that you won't crash your phone.
To flash, you only need partition.mbn and flash.bin but if partition.mbn differs from your actual ks20 partition (that is, if your actual rom mbn don't come from the same dz than your cooked rom), there's a chance that flash.bin overlaps something else on you phone. So it's secure only if you've already flashed the same mbn and the same partition.mbn before. If not, I can't say, maybe it is, but not for sure.
So as I wrote on first post, to flash, select baserom as rom folder. Each mbn line will automatically populate and the just change the path to flash.bin to your newly built flash.bin (which is in builtrom if you use the kitchen).
language cooking not easy - but I don`t wanna give up!
oh god - it`s not that easy
I don`t know in which step I have to replace the Language folders
With HK-ROM (newer ROM) I did step a-e = 1-8
With GER-ROM (language ROM) I also did a-e = 1-8
but then I have 77 ".0407" and 59 ".409" folders
so why is this? Different languages have different folder amount?
Or should I change the language after step "d" ??
looking forward to bring light inside
EDIT:
I used "PKGToolsBuildOS" (step e) to change the language.
But this tool brings following message
Not copied: OEMBT_Lang_0407! No \SYS\ folder corrisponding...
Not copied: OEMVVS_Lang_0407! No \SYS\ folder corrisponding...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don`t know if this is critically?
I prefere to do things by my own - because I don`t trust tools that crash that often *gg*
GreeT`s
I've never succeded in using PKGToolsBuildOS to change rom language. I do it manually.
It seems that you're counting also subdirectories in your 040x folder count (ie, there's a Base_Lang_0409 folder and inside lies a commctrl.dll.0409.mui. Of course, you don't need to count it as changing Base_Lang_0409 folder will also replace its subdirectories.). Sys folder should contain approximately 30 040x first level folders. Between roms, it there may be 1 or 2 folders less or more (depending on the availability of windows_live and things like that.)
The only thing important is that in the end, every folder that was 0409 is now replaced by 0407 folder.
I did it
Jea - today I did it
I flashed HongKong 10a ROM with German language to my KS20.
I have now
ROM: v10a
Bootloader: v10a
Modem Firmware: V10e
ROM date: 2008-04-29
I don`t understand why the Modem Version is still the "old" one
How can I get the newest modem Firmware from the HongKong ROM?
ROM-Date seems also the "German 10e" date.
Who can bring light inside :I)
Greet`s erich
Informations about version are stored in registry (in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LGE\VersionInfo).
As for modem version, it's in mbn files and not in flash.bin.
So does it mean I have the "modem Version" from the HongKong ROM but only it shows the "old" one
Or do I have to change a .mbn file to change Modem Version?
Whitch .mbn file is the one holding the Modem crap?
I know from my friend who owns a HTC Diamond that a new modem version can save battery and bring faster or more stable access,...

Hi every gurus and chefs,
Thanks to creators of kitchens and tools, i have had so much fun in cooking my own rom. Thank you so much.
Recently, i tried to convert the 1.93.456.2 WWE ROM to CHS. I have managed to transform 99% of the ROM into CHS. but there is only one problem. When creating the rom using the diamond kitchen or kaiser kitchen, at the ending part, it will fall back to use os.nb within the ROM\ folder.
From my understanding, the OS.NB file is an extracted OS from the original WWE ROM thus, the boot.hv, boot.rgu and wince.nls is still the WWE version. how do I replace these files?
Another question would be, when dumping the official rom, the dump_XIP folder is created. what is the use of this folder? if i make changes to the folder, how to i merge them into a usable part for cooking?
i have did a lot of reading on XIP porting, big storage rom cooking and etc. i just can't seems to locate one which explains how to replace files in os.nb or merging the XIP folder to usable part.
Can any kind soul please kindly advise?
Thanks you so much!

Hi,
1. You don't have to replace/port XIP from the ROM of the same device. Only do this if you want to port other devices' ROMs such as Kaiser to Hermes, Diamond to Kaiser, Raphael to Diamond etc. It will boot.
2. Just replace the wince.nls version in the SYS\WINCENLS_WWE with the CHS one you have.
3. Modify all the MUI files and registry as to point to your Language of choice.
4. The OS.NB is needed as the shell/container for your new cooked ROM because it's the requirement for using the Tadzio's tools. So, leave it as is.
5. Cook the ROM.
At least that what I did when doing my Hermes version long before.
Cyphol.

please correct me if i was wrong..
afaik, XIP part is the same for every language,
also in the end part of the building, you need os.nb only as a "template" to rebuild the new one... it wasn't really use the content inside...
normally, you need to copy all content in the dump_xip to the ROM\XIP directory...
to learn about the process of diamond kitchen (which is based on kaiser kitchen so i assume the tools are the same), i think you better use the kaiser ROM, and try to dump it.. and see what directories and files are generated...
in kaiser kitchen, to rebuild the rom you need 3 dirs, OEM, SYS, and ROM\XIP

Yes, that's right for the reason. If that's the only reason, why don't you replace the core.dll
thank you everyone for your advise.
looks like i just need more reading.
thank you cyphol, pkoper and teamee for your kind advice.
I have replace the SYS\wincenls_WWE folder with SYS\WINCENLS_0804. i believe this might be one of the problems. i will try replacing just the wince.nls within the folder instead of replacing the entire folder.
files which i have modified includes the boot.hv, user.hv, default.hv, boot.rgu, a bunch of other rgu as well. i might have missed out a few others. so i will check again.
thanks everyone for your kind advice. if there is any other suggestions or points to take note of, please kindly let me know.
your guys rocks! XDA rocks!
