[Q]Replace/update OEM packages and other issues... - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

First of all I'm sorry for my english, hope you can understand me...
I'm going to cook my first ROM...
The idea is to make 2 versions (with/without manila) of a clean "uc capable" rom; what I want to do is take a 1.93 official base and update some oem app and sys (i.e. htc camera and netcf) and remove some others to replace theese with 3t part usefully app (i.e. putting in wktask manager instead htc task).
Now my doubts:
(I've readed a lot of wikies and thread but didn't find a CLEAR answer to all my questions)
1- If I use an official .exe rom as base I obiouvsly find inside it the radio part...have to remove this befor but in base folder due i don't need it for my work? How?
2- I'm able to remove oem pack from my rom base and I'm also able to repack new ones starting from a cab file...but I don't know if it's possible to take (exactly as they are) some oem pack from a stock/custom(when not protected) rom to use in mine...I saw that a lot of cookers use oem pack taken from raphael official roms to update thair roms and I would know if the process to do this is just open the rom, copy the oem and past it in mine... In this case...where can I find a good very update raphael rom?!
3- Opposite than this, for manila I would use the "animated switches" version. I want to downgrade it to the version with theese animations but I don't know if there's a particular process to replace this oem...can you tell me? PS: what is the exact manila version I need to do it?
4- TO UPDATE NETCF TO THE 3.5 VERSION WHAT HAVE I EXACTLY DO? And is the Alexandre's oem pack good for my pourpose?
Thank you a lot and sorry if (maybe) some questions were answered in other threads...I searched and readed a lot but there are too many informations in this forum for a noob/bad english speaker/... like me so I decided to ask!

1. When dumping a ROM, it will dump separately the splashes, radio, os and extrom (if any.) Extract the exe with WinRAR and dump the nbh.
2. When dumping a ROM, it will create packages if ROM is unprotected. A good place of finding a Raph ROM would be the Raphael forums.
3. Delete the old package from kitchen and replace with new one (in your case, the old one, animated).
4. You can find ready made NetCF 3.5 packages. You should delete the old NetCF 2 from SYS folder and replace it with the 3.5

Thanks a lot!
So, to replace OEM, just put out (from a rom) and put in (in mine)...so simple?!
Ahahah...

Please, excuse me for my stupidity...BUT I REALLY NEED AN HELP!!!
(I'm following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413782&highlight=kitchen)
Here's what I do:
1) I've downloaded from htc site the last official stock rom (localized for my country) \HTC Touch Diamond\QMR\RUU_Diamond_HTC_ITA_1.93.408.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship
2) I've extracted all files and putted them into Base ROM folder of surface kitchen.
3) clicked on begin and obtained some folders in the kitchwen one
Now if I go into one package folders in OEM (htc gesture in example) i can't see dsm or rgu files, but just dll and .provxml ones...WHY?! I don't think it's good, right? Where is my fault?!
SO SAD...
PS: I've searched a lot but I've not found a netcf prepared package to cook...
Thanks a lot!

You have to create the packages!
Don't know the kitchen but it should be like this in every kitchen.
Also, you can check inside provxml file (notepad will do), maybe the rgu (registry entries) are set through provisioning.

confused...
I think I have to create just the packages of apps I would to add...not even all the apps contained in the stock rom!
Looking and reading tutorials in this forum I understood that If I would (i.e.) add/rmv apps to my rom I've just to put its files in base rom and then (after extract all) add/remove what I want. Then rebuild.
But for all others teorically I don't do anything...Is this wrong?
PS: thank you for the previous reply

Artemis Diamondish 6.1 Build 20721.1.4.0 + Build 20273/19965 (ROM + Kitchen)

Hi,
I would like to share the kitchen that I use to build my personal ROM. It's SYS and XIP were ported from the stock Diamond 1.93.456.2 WWE ROM that Tom made available and the kitchen is Bepe's kitchen.
Here it is (Build 19965.1.2.3):
http://rapidshare.com/files/130210385/Artemis_Diamondish_6.1_Build_19965.1.2.3.zip
UPDATE1: I have made a few changes in the OEM folder, I have added Advanced Config, added a patched htc home for the weather and made some changes to the registry. The changed files are in the attached zip.
Pre-Built ROM (NBH) can be downloaded from here:

(Usual rules for cooked roms, i.e. USPL etc.. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331845)
UPDATE2: I have uppdated the XIP and SYS to use build 20273.1.3.3 and use .NET CF 3.5 as suggested, thanks xvx45

Here are some screen shots (of build 19965, mainly the same as build 20273 and 20721 but version numbers changed):
Nice work bro, nice to see new "faces" on Artemis forum.
Cheers.
Thanks, been here a while, just learning as I go. I thought it was a bit quiet on the new ROM front.
Thank you very much for you sharing!
Maybe this was the push i needed to start also cooking.
Who knows...
Cheers
Thanks for share man!
Do you have some screenshots of this ROM?
INFO
Hi,
Just extracted, saw all the separate files, did i miss the full .nb rom image or is this post to cook yourself with the htc romtool?
I know there are a look of cooking-guides, but can anyone explain simple which files tot select from the extraction when running the htc rom tool you have to fill in :
G3 IPL
G4 IPL
SPL
Splash
Radio Ext.Rom
OS
Can i add also .cab files for example somewhere to add to this rom?
Would like to cook first rom.
Thanks,
Innovator
Hi, just run the batch file "BuildNB.bat" and that will generate the .nb and .nbh files, they were removed to reduce the size of the archive.
You may also need to install the VC8 Runtime first, that can be found in the archive:
"tools\vcredist_x86.exe"
There is a tool from Ervius (I think that it is called "packages creator") that will convert cabs to OEMs suitable for cooking with.
Thank you mate, I'll try to make it compatible with Orange France SPV M650 AGPS
Maybe my starting element to come with Artemis community more often (actually my phone but Icook on my old Prophet at this time).
Good job
Hey guys,
This seems promising. I've just installed Tom's latest but have been troubled by bugs (it happens) since he's no longer responding to queries I decided I needed to learn to cook one myself (should be fairly straightforward).
Perhaps we should pool experience & resources and work together, I mean if you look at the activity in the Kaiser forum, you'd be forgiven for feeling a bit left out.
One person could design gfx the other sounds etc. Otherwise I might swap my Artemis for a Kaiser (yes I've been begged!!)
Forgive me if this seems like a pipe dream...

I agree, it would be nice to have an "open" ROM that the community contributes to, I hope that this would keep the Artemis platform alive for future releases of Windows Mobile.
P3350
Hi all... i am very new to cooking and still thinking of getting my feet wet... have a couple of questions...
1. I have a P3350 (Artemis with out GPS) and when i install all these roms they are sluggish when compared to P3300s. My friend has a P3300 and the same ROM is fater ... I tested it immediately after flashing by opening the windows folder and other apps... should i be doing any thing different to get my device up to speed?
2. The ROM on the rapid share (http://rapidshare.com/files/13046620....3_NBH_ROM.zip) is this a directly installable ROM?
3. What should i be doing with the 'changed files'.
Sorry if i am sounding noob...

I don't know of any, but I am looking into a similar issue that I see with my orbit, I think that I am going to look at the XIP region of the ROM to see if there is something device specific there, sorry for not being much help.

Yes, this contains everything but assumes that your device is already running the SPL and only contains the OS portion and not the radio. Look at the link in the first post for help on flashing cooked roms.

These files in the zip should replace the existing ones in the kitchen on rapidsahre.

Freshup Roms...
Good try for this new rom, but i find the home-skin not stylish enough (dated too soon).
Why not create a rom with Greatball's today screen, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021
This is the most stylish skin (with SPBMobile 2.1) i have ever seen (last one with analog clock).
Together with Greatball's Samurai Diamond Weather + Night
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402124
Would be the most fresh looking rom ever
In combination with latest msn, SPB-backup,PPCBackupcontacts,...
Who can do this & freshup our Artemis for a long time ?
Thanks,
Cheers!

When an Italian version?
I have no plans to produce any other languages, but the source to the kitchen is all there for someone to translate to suit thier needs.
Ok, I've tested and make my first Artemis ROM (for test use for the moment).
I've been implemented Orange AGPS drivers but no luck no automatic connexion at the moment when GPS is activated so, I'll make more try. So I've removed some components (Adobe flash & reader, Diamond Keyboard and some little thing) that I don't want and this ROM is stable and fast...very fast coocked with NETCF3.5 Now I'll translate it to French if I've time to that more than my future release
Just one thing mpattman : why to release this kitchen with NETCF 2.0 and not directly 3.5 ?
And the last Word : Thank you mpattman !!!
I can not down your ROM and MYkitchen,please get it to FTP,thank you.
Thanks a ton...
Thanks MPattMan...
I am downloading the kitchen, and will try understanding stuff... will post if i have any doubts... do u have any guide on how to do stuff like adding the programs that i want ? ... i will be more than willing to help, test and learn.

New Old style kitchen based on Bepe's tools

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?

[KITCHEN+ROM][WWE]Stock Diamond 2.03 Kitchen & Rom ported with 21042XIP/SYS (Online)

[KITCHEN+ROM][WWE]Stock Diamond 2.03 Kitchen & Rom ported with 21042XIP/SYS (Online)
I've seen a few requests for kitchen's & rom's based on 21042 XIP/SYS so I decided to knock one up using the 2.03MRII 2.03.401.3 base and XIP/SYS from 21042 build.
This kitchen & rom is currently completely stock. Nothing removed from the OEM & SYS folders, no tweaks no addon programs just standard diamond build with newer core.
The only extra included which isn't in the original stock rom is remote desktop mobile (came with the sys not an extra) which of course you can remove from the kitchen if you wish. As it's the new sys it obviously contains the newer builds of MS apps including Windows live. Also this does not have the newer version of IE, just standard version.
Keyboard currently supports English, French, German, Greek, Italian & Spanish t9 however this should be updatable with the 14 language patch available elsewhere.
The kitchen is bepe platformrebuilder in almost stock form. No extra tools except for it runs htc rom tool to build the nbh file at the end.
XIP is not changed in anyway except updated msxipkernel & msxipkernelltk from 21042. No pagepool patching, cert patching or time/date/name changes. os.nb.payload size is reduced in the kitchen however this has no bearing on the final rom.
As this uses bepe's platformrebuilder, if you wish to change the date, build, pagepool, cert patching in the kitchen directly, these need to be done on nk.exe in the oemxipkernel. Any changes made to os.nb.payload (except uldr) will not be carried forward to the final rom as the nk.exe will overwrite changes to the payload. The payload itself is not ported so if you extract this and replace the msxipkernel folders then you will be back to a 20764 xip. There is no need to port the payload as replacing the msxipkernel & ltk folder in the xip folder properly ports the xip anyway if you are using bepe's kitchen (surface kitchen does not work properly in this way)
Also any rom's built with this tool are automatically locked as the kitchen deletes rgu's & dsm's from the cooked rom for space saving and performance. The files are extractable but then all you get is a dump of the files, without being able to seperate to packages.
Hope this helps some of you out there.
Also on the link there will be a stock diamond rom built from this kitchen - entirely stock but with latest xip/sys - even .netcf is still v2.0 that's how stock it is. It does however have more storage memory as it is cooked - original has 82Mb total and 57 available - this has 102Mb in total and 75+Mb free. Using the kitchen you could make a rom with alot more free space however.
I would recommend atleast upgrading .netcf to 3.5 in this rom if you are lightly cooking. Package for this is available on the forum
If you release a rom using this kitchen, please do not forget to credit the source.

Important: Hard spl is required to use either the rom on this link or any rom created with this kitchen.
Basic Tutorial
As the rom is already ported & extracted, all you need to do is make your modifications then build the rom.
Step 1. Modify the sys & oem folders with the packages that you need. Make a backup of any folders you delete in case they cause issues with anything else.
Step 2. Once you are happy with the modifications, run build_rom.bat. This will create the os_new.nb file in the root of the kitchen folder. Once this is done, it will load the htc rom tool that builds & signs the final nbh file.
Step 3. Once the htc rom tool loads, select Build!, Change the version to anyversion you would like (this version only shows up when flashing). Under system, click on ... and select the os_new.nb file that has just been created. Then click on Build! ROM and this will ask where to save the nbh file and the name. Save as diamimg.nbh if you want to flash thru internal storage or any other name you like if using customruu.
Step 4. Ensure your device has hardspl, then flash the rom you just built either using custom ruu or using the internal storage method. If it doesn't work, you can allways flash another rom after getting the device in bootloader mode.
Can't wait
Thanks!
Will you post it today, or....?
And can i make my rom from this "Rom ported with 21042XIP/SYS"?

It's uploading at the moment. It is a seperate kitchen & a rom as well. You can make whatever type of rom you wish to with this. Just mention the original source if you release it.
The rom is if you want a stock rom with the new build. Looks like you need the kitchen. Should all be uploaded in next 15-20 mins. Had to start the upload again.
Thanks shaks!
Not only do you provide the best ROM around, but now also a kitchen, you rock!
sweat shaks thanx for sharing going to finaly try my own Rom you make us happier and happier every time
(EDIT)
so does this mean your not going to build any more Roms or ?

This is just something I felt like doing for today. The kitchen won't get updated much (probably not at all as it's not modified). The roms will continue but will be going for the long release cycles again just like 3.20. I envisage I will probably have one more release and if that doesn't have issues then no more flashing till something big happens again (maybe stable tachi rom comes)
This kitchen is so stock that it can't replace my rom without alot of work - no tweaks, extra packages or anything for that matter except what comes in the stock as that's what some people wanted and I thought it won't take long so I did it.
P.S sorry for the delay with the upload. Having some issues

Well 3.20 was a damn good, stable, time tested rom. I know a few people who won't change from it at all. Tested the latest but went back to it because they preferred it. 4.x series are a little bit more experimental but still go for the same stability. Next release should take of that small percentage who have corrupt memory/hard reset issues hopefully but I don't expect a big changelog as 4.10 is otherwise fine.
Should the bluetooth work well with this rom?

Shouldn't be an issue - I use the same sys/xip in my rom without any issues with bluetooth.
Kitchen now online
Rom uploading now. I found if I tried to upload both at the same time, it kept stopping part way!

That's right - delete what you don't want, modify rgu's for packages, add your own packages e.g. using ervius package creator to turn a cab into a package or use a package already provided. You'll get lets of cooking help from here (talks about surface kitchen but basic concept the same):

Add your own packages into the OEM folder.
Downloading... In the meantime thank you!

Add this package to your oem folder for 14 languages & edit the line in the rgu to specify languages you want

Hi!
Just use Cab_Converter for your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525302&highlight=Cab+Converter
It can convert *.cab into OEM packages and OEM's into EXT packages.
Its not realy difficult, download and extract the files to c:\CAB_Converter\
EDIT: Oh Sorry, OEM to EXT is coming soon

Thanks for the reply. But i dont wanna covert cab files i wanna do like in latest htc official rom releases like in official wm 6.5 upgrades for diamond 2 (topaz) etc in oem app and oem lang 0409 all files are coverted to ext except a few.
However, if you only want to get the EXT packages out of the official rom, you can use visual kitchn and dump the *.nbh file.
the kitchen will create the files for you.
I will upload the Packages for you in a few minues!

So nice of u that u done it for me. But bro i really dont want that i have that what i mean is u have downloaded that official rom in and dumped now see the oem in that go to oem apps. You will see one dsm and many app. Now compare that with oem of mega or topaz wm 6.5 or latest jade rom. You will see in all of them that app which are present in oem app are coverted to ext packages. The same i want to do with the oem app of opal. I hope u understood . Didnt? ok see ur pm.
OK, now I think I know what you mean.
My english is so bad so it taes some time to understand.
you would like to create EXT pakages from the application located in the OEM\OPAL\COMMON\OEMApps folder.
These programs are not device or resolution specific. (as far as I know)
so you can delete the files and include EXT packages from newer roms in you EXT folder.
I see there is a AutoRun, CommManager,...
These files are realy old, so it would be an improovement if you have a RunCC and a new CommManager, from the latest builds
Thats just an example.
However, I will also search for an Tool which can convert the files and programs out of the OEM folder to EXT packages.

Customize/edit cooked rom?

Hi all.
I have a Touch Diamond (bought in Denmark).
I have tried many cooked roms now and the best I have found than runs blazing fast is this one: httpREMOVE://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483539 - with danish language (hurray).. (cannot post links yet)
But, I find the apps that are preinstalled quite old and I would really like to update them (and maybe completely remove some apps).
Is this possible? I don't know anything about cooking roms. I downloaded Gen.Y's kitchen but with this I can't open a .nbh fil - only .erv can be opened.
I hope someone can help me. I have finally found a rom that suit my needs (well almost), but it is just a bit outdated..
Best regards from Denmark.
Use this to open the .NBH file

Thank you very much for your reply.
I can open the nbh file with htcRIE.
I have found some programs in OS>IMGFS>SYS> and in OS>IMGFS>OEM that I would like to remove/update.
But that doesn't seem possible in htcRIE? I cannot delete any files..
Maybe this is harder to do than I thought?
Best regards from Denmark
Some .nbh files (roms ) are protected for delete ,change some files ; others no .
I am so close (I guess)..
I downloaded "Surface Kitchen" and got the rom file extracted.
I removed som apps.
I build a new rom - but here it goes wrong. Under the process it reports missing "boot.rgu" and something with XIP?
It builds the rom but it doesn't boot up on my phone, guess the boot.rgu file is some crucial
How can I extract the boot.rgu from the rom? Or can I use a boot.rgu from another rom??
Best regards from Denmark
