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:
1) xip porting for os ber updating;
2) updater for Rom Creation Date;
3) Updater for Rom version at Boot screen!!!
enjoy!!!
improved some context menus on selected package.....
xip porting for OS version and Rom's Date creations Updater!!
new version of package creator, to have own directory where place shortcuts, and some minor bugs solved
here: and added links in initflashfiles.txt for .htm files for "Help"!!!
P.S.: I need beta testing for my apps, becouse, I go on programming and there are allwais same bung into...
bye!!! ( a big thanks to guybrush and udk for testing and support, but specially to Vibranze for testing package creator!!!)

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 1000!

so, you have to install also java virtual machine... with this utilities in not necessary...
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've to delete "tom" at the end of map.txt?

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?

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....
Thanks........ morf3o.

Hi all
I'm cooking my own rom using Core Pro Kitchen, so far it's going OK.
I read most of this forum and the WiKi, but still have a couple of questions
first:
Do we really need .rgu files in imgfs? AFAIK they are only used to build .hv files.
I tried to delete theese from \temp\dump before creating OS.nb (after running BuildOS), and the ROM works, at least I don't see any drawbacks.
second:
I'm cooking my own custom package into the rom and need all the files in it to be impossible to modify/delete. All files in the package have +r +s +h attributes set, but I'm sill able to modify them on device.
It seems like the modified file is created "above" the ROM one (sort of copy-on-write), because when I use TotalCommander to delete it, it just reverts to the original file from ROM. Is there anyway to make a file completely unmodifiable? Put it in XIP? do I have to rebuild any of three .dsm files in XIP if add my file there?
The file is about 1-2kb
Any ideas?
Thanks, Serge
THIS IS MY WM6.1 ROM KITCHEN

What if there is no InitCmd.ccs file? Trying to use TMO WM6 ROM. This is the same problem I had trying to use the other kitchens (I thought it was me).
Boo Boo looks almost like a clean ROM:
Tried anyways only removing the handango in hand links (two files) from the rom and built RUU_signed.nbh with os only. Flashed fine with no issues, but most T-Mobile specific apps/settings did not load and do not show in the startmenu. TMO homescreens, ringtones, favorites, etc did not get placed/installed correctly. MyFaves (HTC App) seems to have installed correctly although it tries to load TMO homescreen which is now in the Windows directory, TMO Internet Settings loaded, but the startmenu is laid out differently. Most TMO Customizations just got installed in Windows directory where they will not install (homescreens, ringtones, etc. don't work under Windows directory). The files are there, but the phone runs as if they are missing (almost like running the Brightpoint ROM). The only TMO customizations Visible are the Startup and Shutdown screens, and winwap. Somehow the TMO customizations did not get loaded, but everything seems to work fine.
Recommend the following changes to make the kitchen more universal.
added command to DumpOS.bat
ren *os.nb os.nb
changed filename in BuildOS.bat to os.nb
Just an idea since not all ROM's have the same XX_os.nb filename.
ROM Cooking Hints?
Hi Ricky, and thanks a lot for such a good work, and sharing your knowledge !!!
A couple of questions around ROM cooking ...
- How does ROM size affect WM? I mean, adding files, apps, etc. to the rom makes WM having less memory to run programs or store files, or run slower, for example?
- I guess adding more and more files might create a ROM that does not fit in the Excalibur and might break it if flashed. How can we know when to stop adding stuff?
Thanks!!

if you add stuff to the rom it will slow down the rom but not to much & if you take things out of the rom it will get faster
and if you add to much software then the kitchen will crash
How do you remove programs? What all do you need to delete to safely remove it from your phone?
Did my first attempt at cooking. IT was successful, and I am using it know, but some changes, such as files I added to the InitCmd.tgz worked, and were extracted fine. Other tweaks, such as changing a CPanel's contents and adding media to the windows folder did not work, and came out as if I hadn't changed anything at all.
Do I need to make Cpanel changes in two places (Initcmd and somewhere else?) Is there another step to making files "stick"?

Ok, I don't get it. Rick, or anyone, can you explain the work flow a little more? I can't find a user.hv, or a default.hv in the dump contents, nor do I know what to do when I do find them. I see there is a assembler/disassembler toolset in the kitchen, but it fails to find any .hv's either. Is there anything missing in the steps above?

you have to unhide system files what you have to do is move user.hv and default.hv to to edit user.hv&default.hv folder press disassemble.dat it the make to more files called HKCU.reg and HKLM.reg now download emediter freeware and save HKCU.reg and HKLM.reg UTF-16LE Now move HKCU.reg to notepad2.exe edit it then press save do the same for HKLM.reg then what you do is make a dump folder then press Reassemble.dat if there is no errors in the hv files then you will find user.hv and default.hv in the dump folder that you just made if the is an error it command prompt will tell you were the error is once dont move the hv files back to you dump folder
I think I got all that! Thanks a bunch.
Rickwyatt,
When I run Disassemble.bat it tells me it can't find the default.hv and user.hv file and then it tells me that there is no regedit4.txt file in the Resources directory.
I checked the locations of the files, and there isn't a regedit4.txt file but the default.hv and user.hv files are right where they are supposed to be. Any ideas?
[edit]
Nevermind... unchecked the "hidden" box on the two files... it still doesn't find the regedit4.txt that it's claiming is missing
Ok, so I successfully was able to use this to mod the 1.6 Rose ROM, but I noticed that the InitCmd.ccs looks far different. How do I edit the menu items in this ROM?
Specifically I am wanting to remove a bunch of stuff I don't use from the ROM:
- Orneta Calculator
- OMAP Clock
- Getting Started
- SMS Tool Pack
- Light Config
- Messenger
- Streaming Media
- Windows Live
- Resco Explorer
- CHome
Also if anyone can post the list of files that I would need to delete out of the exploded ROM for the above, that would be great... especially CHome.
I do want to give this ROM serious props. I love it! I just want to pare down the things I personally have no interest in using, but I don't want to delete the wrong files, and/or not remove the menu items in the ROM for them.
Rickwyatt,
The Disassemble.bat file keeps crashing. It tells me that regedit4.txt not found in the Resources directory. It creates a hkcu.txt and an hklm.txt file though.
open hkcu.txt hklm.txt then add REGEDIT4 to the top line then save rename hkcu.txt hklm.txt to hkcu.reg hklm.reg
New HTCRT.exe version 1.1.4
windows media player playing not smooth.
One bug in my own rom (base on your kitchen): Windows media player playing not smooth. How can i fix it, what reg can i edit?

Specifically I am wanting to remove a bunch of stuff I don't use from the ROM:
- Orneta Calculator
- OMAP Clock
- Getting Started
- SMS Tool Pack
- Light Config
- Messenger
- Streaming Media
- Windows Live
- Resco Explorer
- CHome
Also if anyone can post the list of files that I would need to delete out of the exploded ROM for the above, that would be great... especially CHome.
I do want to give this ROM serious props. I love it! I just want to pare down the things I personally have no interest in using, but I don't want to delete the wrong files, and/or not remove the menu items in the ROM for them.

Looking to dump a lot of the same things. If I remove them from the "dump" folder, is that the end of it or do registry settings need to be removed as well. First time doing something like this, thanks for the help and patience.
Instead of going through this tedious process.. why not start with a very light version of the ROM and just add what you need ?
Hi,
How can I organise the Start Menu items into folders within WinMo 6.5?
Either after cooking the ROM or from the Kitchen?
Kind Regards.
You can take a look into initflashfiles.dat in OEM and if you want create your own folders you should create app.dat files with f.g.
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Internet")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Internet.ico.lnk")
To create ico file you need to know how to put resources into dll file. There was some thread on this forum about creating the icons.
Brilliant, thank you very much!
Hi,
I want to share small PC tool - FindDup. I have made it several years ago, as I wanted to know how much disk space is wasted by exactly the same files.
The main feature of this program - it compares all the files in given folders binary and it can found duplicates even if the names of files are different.
I use it now to optimize size of my ROM.
For example - you can see there are 298 junk files, total wasted size 1,56 mb in dumped Mega OEM packages.
HOWTO use:
1. Add folder to "Look in" list. You can use drag'n'drop.
2. Select "Search \ Start" from menu, or click "Start" icon on the toolbar.
3. If there are duplicates - you will see them in a list.
Known issues:
1. It looks like it cannot save result to file under XP. I have made it for Windows 2000 and I need to find sources to fix this...
Download link: FindDup
thanks!
just started cooking, will try to find duplicates on my rom!
Be careful. This tool just give you information. You must to know how to use this information.
For example: Ervius Kitchen copies all the files to "temp" folder. It's OK to have duplicates in temp and for example SYS.
But if there are duplicate Manila resources in dump folder, may be you can edit HTCHomeSettings.xml to reuse one file and delete other.
