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...

Just a little bit of info needed as I am new to all this cooking ROMS.
I am using the Core Kitchen which I have found easy when extracting a ROM and I have been using the schaps ROM as it contats the RGU files with the packages as oppose to the Black Roms which dont and I am not confident enough to be able to sort out that mess yet.
The question is in two parts and I hope you can help me a little.
Part 1: when you extract the ROM what is contained in the OS.nb file the reas on I ask is I want to get a Basic from MS ROM so I can start with my own ROM building as oppose to someone elses (VERY GOOD I MIGHT ADD) ROM.
Part 2: where can I get the RTM M$ WM6 ROM from a rom without any modifications or any added packages just the M$ PDA/PHONE ROM.
Please help this is the only two bits that im really lost with.
I have a Vario 2 on T Mobile uk
you might want to look at the FTP for vanilla wm6 roms...
the last time i checked, it was still there.
I have seen the Vanilla ROM is that the M$ RTM base OS then ???
hey guys,
can you tell me what specs you enter into duttys tool as im having problems?
thanks in advance

Not sure im new to all this myself as you can prob tell.
Vanilla ROM has too many missig files that I cannot even find according to the tutorial with CORE an official ROM wont have any missing files schaps only has 1 which i know where to find it so can put it in the right place.
It just seems easier to want to start with a RTM official M$ rom and build on it rather than hack bits out of an already cooked rom.
the FTP?
Where is this? (it's early for me, is it in the wiki?)

Its on the Wiki i looked at Cooked Roms on the main wiki page and then it gave me a list of them that were avaliable. Vanilla was on the top of the list.
Skauk,
you can also give a look at the Dopod ROM posted here in the forum... even that its not the newes build, it has nothing added/mising; it could be a good start point.
Regards;
thankyou I will give dopod a look tonight then its so anoying that you cannot get hold of the latest builds that some of these people have so we might start without the bugs of previous builds...
if anyone knows where I can get a later build RTM that's not cooked already you would be number 1 on my xmas card list lol.
Dopod ispretty hard to work out also so anyone else help me find latest build wm6 so i can build on it ??

I would suggest you spend a little time in the upgrading section. As far as a stock windows mobile 6 rom, the problem is there aren't any yet. Although I think some upgrades may be coming along in the next few months. The roms here are pieced together from other machines or pulled from unreleased versions. I don't know of a true "stock" hermes wm6 rom at this point. You could get a WM5 rom to practice with which would show you what to expect, and what "comes with" though.
Good luck,
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.

Hi, I use DiamondKitchen 0.4
It works for Official ROM but fails for some custom ROM, bElite ROM can not be dumped this way, is there a solution or another way to dump.
I really appreciate any help about it.
Kind Regards
Well, most of the cooked ROM's out here, are someway protected or they have left out some files(RGU files). In this way, the ROM can not be rebuild...some use it as protection, some use it for a faster ROM because there are less files in the windows directory, wich may speed up the ROM.
As for the cooked ROM's you really should ask the cookers for the missing files, otherwise you have to cook your own ROM with a base ROM. Most of the cookers put a lot of work in the ROM´s they are creating while they having a normale life also(wife/kids/work). So it is not nice if someone else add some apps to the ROM and publish it on xda as his rome....on the other hand, it should be nice if everything is shared, but I really understand the real cookers, so I let it for what it is and appreciate the work the real cookers put in it and respect them.
I'm just a simpel cooker who can only add some apps, but at this point, I cannot take advantage from the more experienced cooker, who applied some twaeks, making the rom faster than the stock one's and having a more faster/stable base ROM to cook from.
But as i prefer cooking my anti-theft information into the ROM, I can only use stock ROM's...so that's the decicion I make: use faster cooked ROM's without my apps into it or just build your own ROM with your own apps, but not with the advanteges of the more expreienced cookers out here
Hello Guys!
I just recognized that Windows Mobile 6.5 is very fast and that it also doesn't need as much memory as 6.1. But in every 6.5 ROM I found there's something missing I would like to have in.
Where can I get a WM6.5 Kitchen? The best would be when it is with the latest build available.
I Just don't know where to get this, and I never cooked before, just want to try with it (don't ask me why, I just want to)
It would be very nice if someone can give me a link for a kitchen.
Thanks in advance

danny_and_2 created a kitchen based on the 21500 build which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503128.
Im also currently trying to create a kitchen based on the Stock HTC 2.03 rom and build 21501 using Ervius' Visual Kitchen but haven't been able to successfully port the XIP yet (device doesn't boot).
Thank you for your answer, I will have a look on it.
To prevent damages because of a non booting device the best way is to flash test roms via customRUU and to place a working diamimg.nbh on the internal storages, or is there any other way?
Regards
Fireblade310
I tend to leave a copy of the stock htc rom on the internal storage (as DIAMIMG.nbh) and flash my test roms using customRUU, that way i can always get my device up and running again quickly if things dont quite work out.
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
youu have diaduit rom..it is based on nataly kitchen!!

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

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
bsb 6.5L:

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
