I want to learn how to cook a rom but i dont know where to start. whats the best programme to use? any tutorals? please help
Search for Kitchens.
You use kitchens to cook roms.
The wiki has lots of information to ramp your base knowledge.
I second the suggestion to Search for Kitchen, both in the forums and the wiki. It's all here.
Then the easiest place to start is with matts Pandora Kitchen.
Then as you get more comfortable , I like Core Kithen, he even includes a tutorial.
A great search tool that I use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893
It keeps me from asking questions that have been asked a thousand times.
Best kitchen documentation is available in Wizard forum. Download Faria's kitchen and read the instructions with it. Cooking concept is the same for both the devices, just the OS is different.
Once you have the knowledge, you can try matt's Pandora or RomDonald's
PS: Do not use wizard kitchen to cook a hermes ROM
is there any progamming language you need to learn before starting or is it all part of the kitchen?

no, it's moving files around, running applications, and clicking checkboxes. Super easy once you get rolling.
is there a good tutoral for these things or is a lot of it just trial and error. any good tips? dont want to risk bricking my device more than i have to.
im also running windows vista will that limit my choices?

I dont think .2000 has been ported yet for hermes...if you can port it for hermes, then you are a chef (like faria or Schap's, etc)...but for us cooks, find the ROM you like (eg. Schap's 4.0 or Pandora's, etc), extract OS and start playing with it.
so far ive read up on the pandora kitchen post and the others suggested in this post. it seems like the easyest to use it the pandora kitchen but it dosnt seem to run. the build os programme stops responding. im currently downloading the latest .net but it might be because i have vista. i cant downgrade to xp due to a problem with my hard drive. should be getting a new one this week but would like not to have to dual boot to save hard drive space plus i like vista.

To ensure you have configured the kitchen correctly (ie put the components in the correct location after downloading), try downloading the Pandora Naked kitchen from it's rom thread (in my sig). It's a complete package - so extract it into a folder and try running BuildOS. If it fails - it's your PC. If it works - it's the way you assembled it.

sorry to be a pain in the ass
what do you do when theres an error creating the shadow order file and that part of the xip is missing but its all there as it was unziped

Not sure where to put this because it is not WM6 nor for the Hermes, but here's a link to the Elf 6.1 rom as provided by Pumpiron579.
I haven't tried to extract it yet - but it might be interesting to see what apps are included.

Elf Rom OEM and SYS
Hi Matt,
If anyone is interested in trying whatever new apps are in this rom, I've made it a bit easier to experiment by breaking it down into the constituent OEM and SYS folders.
As the experienced know, Bepe's package tool doesn't always do a 100% job of isolating individual packages, but often you can get away with directly replacing the folders from one rom into another.
Elf Rom 6.1 OEM and SYS
Have fun!
Thanks! I wanted to poke around in it, but have too many projects burning to learn the scoop on dumping the 6.1's yet.
Say - do we have a good tool yet that I'm clueless to? I tried HyperCore, but with no luck. I'm curious how the image is constructed differently, and why / what benefit it is in these changes.
There's lots of nifty new stuff popping up and, well, dumping and discovering can be fun sometimes (better than corn in poo for a 2 year old!)
You can dump it easily with imgfs -kaiser command.

This is the new one. (Not the newest one that will be multidevice, but the one I had made a while back for this device.) It fixes that memory leak bug while cooking and and simplifies the process a little.

What kitchen is this based on? If it's 6.5, when should we expect a 6.1?
Or, could we get instructions on what all needs to be moved and replaced to get it working with another kitchen? I would really like to try it on my kitchen, just because I have it just how I like it.

Ok, but I'm sticking with 6.1 for now, till there is an official/stable non time limited 6.5.
So hopefully we can get instructions on putting lzx into a 6.1 rom (my kitchen is based on josh's 20931).
I could see that as being very useful here.

It's the same kitchen, isn't it? Just change the OEM, SYS, ROM and EXT folders with your folders.

i doubt you would have a problem using this kitchen for wm6.1 as long as you have the right files for the rom.
In my signature you can find a link to my 4shared account - and in it there're some OEM packages of mine (apart from many other things).

hmmm... or not it's not in the sig!

Put the phone into bootloader, and flash another rom. Hold the side ok key + the power key and hit reset. you should then be in the tri colored boot screen, & you will be able to flash a different rom.
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 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

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

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

I have just installed Tomal's V10. So far its working for me. Previously I was experiencing random lockups say if I was using my stereo headphones and playing a game at same time or sending texts. After some changes (ex. disabling the windows default today plugin) I now have 18.95MB free program and 40.20MB storage. The built-in software works great for making Uni a wifi spot. Did Tomal release a kitchen for this rom? Or is it built on his V2.0 kitchen? Either way I seem to have been missing out on a great rom.
Now if I can somehow combine Cotulla's doc format, Thing's optimizations especially TCPMP and Opera being the default programs, and Tomal's great features I may never flash again.
Also for those not using Tomal's V10 but still need this feature check the 1st post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588099
It worked for me and says its the full version. Im not positive of it but it did work whereas the other cab I was using says trial expired. Thanks all for the help.

I've added it in a ZIP format, you will need to then drop it into either:

or
EXT Packages
if it dont work either: PM me or Tomal and we try to sort it out!
thanks simon. im looking at trying to combine the kitchens if possible for a best fit for me. like i cant play warcraft2 with tomals V10. i tried adding the files for wireless modem to things rom but it didnt work. didnt add the comm manager option. ill keep trying. thanks though.

althouth depending on the kitchen:

Hey thanks Simon_WM! I'll see if it works on my rom!
