vivi ROM Kitchen for ASUS P525
Mainly modified from Scoter Kitchen​
Introduction
I've made this ASUS P525 ROM Kitchen for ASUS P525 because I think someone can make it,but no one makes it till now. So I made it myself and share.
Though it is not the best and complex Kitchen with many features but I'm sure it is the good first step for us.
The main aim of this ROM Kitchen is easy using, so this ROM Kitchen is only one click and follow the screen.
You will have a new ROM for ASUS P525 at ease.
Aims
1.For easy modifying private ROM.
2.For helping new user to easy start cooking ROM.
3.For sharing OEM Packages.
4.For someone makes it better.
Let's see
Before using it just let us understand in the same way as follows.
1.This ROM Kitchen is made for using with ASUS P525 only,but it can be used with any other device if modified a little.
2.This ROM Kitchen is modified mainly from Scoter Kitchen.
3.The commands modified from DoubleOFour ROM Kitchen , edhaas ROM Packer Kitchen and some parts from Excel @AsusMobile.ru
Credits should give to them , not me.
Tools use
1.Tools in Scoter Kitchen included bepe package tools and mamaich tools.
2.P525ROMTool from Ingvarr.
Ingredients
There are 3 parts.
1.Program Part : The Kitchen itself.
vivi.exe
2.ROM Part.
3.OEM Part.
Download
You have to download all 2 of these and Base ROM supplied in Packages.

Base ROMs
1.OLD :
Alex UltraLite 2
SYS and OEM from Alex
{This is Alex ROM (added Powerpoint and WLM files) in packages not ROMGalaxy.NB0.}
http://www.zshare.net/download/3987487fd85cf9/
2.NEW : Add 10 Oct 2007 :
SYS and OEM from Alex,plus settings pages from official ROM. !!!NEW!!!
Add files and settings from official back into Packages.
This packages of Base ROM will create official like unofficial WM6 ROM for your ASUS P525,since I add back official 3 settings pages from official ROM,include official system tray icons.
http://www.zshare.net/download/41190946d9bc4b/
How to cook
1. Place vivi.exe from download 1 in Root of C: and execute it.
You will see a new folder named vivi , this is your Kitchen.
2. Enter Kitchen , replace OEM and SYS folders with OEM and SYS folders from Base ROM provided from download 2.
3. In ROM folder , replace ROMGalaxy.NB0 (0 KB) with any ROMGalaxy.NB0 you want its size.
eg. if you want to build a new ROM with a huge size, place official CHS or Russian ROMGalaxy.NB0 here.
Or if you want small size ROM , place Alex UltraLite ROMGalaxy.NB0 here.
I think you guys already have ROMGalaxy.NB0 so no need to support this file.
4. Place OEM Packages you choose from download 3 in OEM folder.
5. Click Start.cmd.
6. Follow on screen.
That's all.

woowww...cooool
Vivi,
Congrats! Finally I can see ROM Kitchen for P525 and now everybody can cook their own ROM
Btw, what do you mean by putting base ROM into OEM and SYS folder? Did you mean Romgalaxy.nb0?
I've put romgalaxy.nb0 into ROM folders and BOS failed to execute.
Cheers,

No, Vibranze.
You have to download Base ROM I provided here.
http://www.zshare.net/download/3987487fd85cf9/
It is not NB0 but splitted in 3 Package folders.
ROM , SYS and OEM.
Place them in the corresponding place in Kitchen.
Images attached.
And you have to place your old ROMGalaxy.NB0 in ROM folder.
This is to use as template for new ROM only.
Vibranze,
Check your PM.

Hi Vivi,
Thanks for all your work. Is it possible for you to make a similar ROM kitchen for the HP iPAQ HX4700?
bub
Thanks for your work ... once again
Vivi, congrate. Glad to see someone finally take this job over.
Great work vivi.
Now maybe it's possible to bulid TouchFlo in P525? If anyone could help me with the OEM version of this, please help me.
Thanks
EDIT:
I would like to make my own OEM packages, but I don't know how. Anyone can help me with this too? I saw that I need the files from the program, and I saw some files like .DSM, .RGU. That is it do? How can I make this files, to my programs?
Thanks fot helping me

Jack,
This is why I want your rgu.files.
The ROM with no rgu can't be dumped and Packed as Base ROM.
I try to use P526 Modules from your ROM,but I can't use it since no rgu files.
Could you please give me all files and tell me how to replace Phone Module as your ROM?

I will look at it when I have time, not too long since I am also using HX4700 and modifying kozhura ROM for my personal use.

Thank you so much vivi, I saw you posting in kozhura's topics a few times so I thought you must have a HX4700 too. I've been trying to modify kozhura's ROM for a long time, but all I have managed to do so far is add some themes and a few programs which don't need any registry entries. It will be great to be able to add full packages.
bub,
I have a look.
It's not hard.
Just modify some command line from vivi Kitchen for P525.
And create Base ROM.
I will make it for you.Not too long.
But I wonder how many users want it?

Thanks vivi, I think there are at least 3-4 people that have posted in the HX4700 thread asking for a ROM kitchen, and I think many more people will start using it once it is made available. The HX4700 seems to have a set amount of reserved space for the base ROM and the user space always has 82.59 MB free regardless of how much you put in the base ROM, so it's a good idea to fill the space in the base ROM, which leaves more space available to install applications in the user space.
Will the ROM kitchen you make work with kozhura's latest WM5 build? I'm still using his WM5 build because it's more stable than his WM6 build and it's almost as fast as WM6.
Thanks for all you work, I really appreciate it.

Yes , I think so.
I have searched for the last 2 hours and cannot come up with a good answer.
I have a collection of various ROMS that people have cooked up, for instance Blinky and others. There are some items I would like to grab from these ROM sets and either make my own or install a ROM and install these other file individually from the .cab files.
I guess the question is how would I go about tearing apart the .nbh file so I could get what I wanted from it?
ThanX in advance.
Use ROMDonalds kitchen to extract whatever you want out a ROM. Use the signature link before to search for the Kitchen!
i really like theme by CRC but MRH software is the 1 installed in my dopod currently.. so would like to ask is it posibble for me to take out the theme embedded in the CRC rom?
Maybe
I think you can just change your theme and then search the device for the .tsk and delete it.. But on the cooking side... I'm not sure, I've been trying to figure this out.. I believe u need to edit a xml file in the oemversion folder... Still looking into it though.
You can use this tool to extract what you want!
thank you very much!
Not really, That just extracts to nb files so you can swap portions of a rom around, much like the old "rom Koch" did (rom Koch also allowed you to break apart the roms into ther windows directories and such but I've had no success with the newer 6.1 roms).
I think the OP was trying to get the theme not the windows directory. Not sure how you'd do that as I'm no chef. I myself like the icons and things used in one rom but prefer the performance of another rom. Unfortunately I haven't got the patience or the right kitchen tools to rip apart the roms then recook them to my liking... Thats why I REALLY appreciate the time and effort put in by the chefs.. They rock.
Cheers...

The theme is just a .tsk file and you can use the aforementioned app to copy the .tsk file from any ROM and the use the same app to add it to whatever ROM you want.
Hi here i release an OLD style kitchen based on Bepes tools
I have taken bepe's kitchen and created some batch files to make it a one click extract and one click build and flash
I was so used to the old style kitchens and when they stoped working (failing at xip extract) i was looking for something that worked that i could use easly.
I found bepes kitchen, and it was nearly the same so i ported the batch files from diamond kitchen 0.4 to make this.
this kitchen uses the new style packages but has the look and feel of the diamond kitchen 0.4
I am still looking for the package creater that makes these NEW style packages but can't seem to find it now so if anyone has it please drop me a link so i can include it in the kitchen tools
download link ---->
http://rapidshare.com/files/217781904/Kitchen.rar
Instructions
1 place you RUU_Signed.nbh in the baserom folder
2 click on !Begin
3 Dont touch anything until extraction is finished (approx 5-10minutes)
4 Modify your packages
5 click on !Cook
6 wait until the htc rom tool loads
7 select diamond in device, os.new.nb as the source OS and save as kitchen/RUU_Signed.nbh
8 close htc rom tool and Custom RUU flash tool will load
9 flash and enjoy
......
will this kitchen group the OEM and SYS files properly. im having difficulty in using the new format or everything's in SYS\MSXIPKernel folder.
Is the Rom dump protected after cooking?

not had time yet to try and test if i can rebuild a cooked rom, will have a go tonight and post my findings.
This is Bepe's Kitchen automated by batch files so he is the best person to talk to about protection
sorry to be a little blunt but i am a noob when it comes to cooking that why i found something that worked for me and made it a little easyer to use,
Protected Rom? Almost Rom when rebuilding, it will delete all dsm file, so you can't use package tool.
ok i have now tried the flashing, and the cooked roms won't pass the splash screen page, not getting the device info in bottom right corner.
anybody there who uses bepe's kitchen mind having a look for me.
also i can't open a re-cooked rom

I had the same problem and it was a XIP "mess-up". however I can't help you more than this.
try asking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3575850&postcount=131
i simply do NOT understand why build a tool that deletes stuffs that are important for cooking. isnt rom cooking supposed to be an open project for ALL? i mean some chef have the donate button in their sigs. but their rom's locked. it isnt fair to those (like myself) trying to learn how to cook a rom. i mean, i try to compare official roms and custom roms insides. what are the difference. it's by comparing that people learn to differenciate. and i would say BAHHH to missing rgu and dsm files!!
My thoughts exactly... Alas...
it is ironic, that NONE of the chefs who lock roms/doesn't supply kitchen/ask for donation wrote the code themselves. In short - everybody operates on stolen/leaked or any other way obtained code.
Ok, there are authors who created tools. And those guys have full right (and reason) to ask for donations fro that - TOOLS.
Otherwise - it's just funny. it's like stealing a car, and then asking police to protect it....
no panic.
at normaly old style kitchens never delete dsm'S.
and if you delete manualy dsm'S, you get all files in folder.
i think, with protect rom it means, no recookable roms.
it stops at point 1 or in the first step by using BEGIN! with a message like
"rom is smaller/bigger than/at starts" or so. excuise me, i've forgot the exactly words.
for checking of recookable rom i checked it with "htcRIE_0.5.0.12.exe".
it shows you all files with oem/sys - folders. but the oem can be empty. you find the oem-files than in sys-folder.
these points are my thinks that i see/learned by beginning flashing and cooking until now. other people can see/learn other thinks so dont dismiss me, if you are not my oppinien - but you can dismiss my english
Htc rom tool
Is it possible to use this for the Fuze?
EDIT: I found HTC tools with support for more phones on this thread a couple posts down
