Not that i have any use for now but how do you chef do to extract such and such exe or image from a rom and cook it into your own?
I'd like to start and do my own simply because I'd like to be able to customize my own and also learn how you do it...
Can anyone point out to me some tuts or where to start?
Thanks

Have a look on the Wiki or the "* Upgrading Forum" for your Device type. There is normally a ROM Kitchen thread / wiki page.
Thanks

Hello All,
Firstly, I would like to say how great this website is and tip my hat off to all the people involved in maintaining this site.
I am very new to the whole XDA modification scene and have a ton of newbie questions. I know some of these questions have been asked before; however I still have not grasped the concepts fully. I have tried to restate the questions asked before so that I (and hopefully other newbie’s ) can fully understand how to modify XDA’s.
Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
So here goes the questions:
When creating a customized ROM (using MKRom) my understanding is that one has re-create the initobj.txt and the Default.reg. Is it possible just to install all the applications you want, and then download the initobj.txt and the Default.reg and place them in the cfg directory for the custom ROM?
If this does not work, how does one know what to edit in these files?
When MKROM request a Rom image, is it requesting the backup ROM IMAGE? Will any image do?
When backing up a ROM, what option does one have to select to backup the operating system, settings and programs inside the ROM? Does CE do all of this?
What is CE, Boot, GSM stand for in the boot menu?
If one wants to just create a new boot image, what is the simplest way? Does one have to create a whole new ROM?
If one wants to just have the unlocking software, what is the simplest way? Does one have to create a whole new ROM?
When creating a Rom using RomKitchen, it asks you add Add your own ROM files? Is this your backup rom?
In RomKitchen one of the readme files asks for:
bootimage.bmp,_initobj.txt,_initdb.ini,_default.reg,xipchain
Is the default.reg and the initobj.txt in this directory have to be pre altered for the new programs one wants in the Rom like the way the MKROM wants them? Does the setup program create them for you?
Is the bootloader.nb0 file specific to the boot loader you have?
Very confused what is exactly needed in the /CFG directory.
In the CFG directory do you place your backup Rom dump?
Hi ...
Do you call these as newbie questions ??!! :shock: ... I can hardly wait to see your advanced ones :wink:
If I got you right, you want to "create" your own ROM instead of doing like most of us by "cooking" a new ROM in one of the kitchens like www.yorch.net
I may advice you to move this thread to the "Hacking it" forum which I see it a better place than here.
I am a newb, but I have searched and been unable to find what I need. I am trying to build a custom rom for my Treo 700wx. I have found the tools to convert a cab file into an OEM package. Now all of the other ROM kitchens are very automated and you can just click on the OEM and everything is done for you. The kitchen that we have for the 700 (thanks Ebag) is not as advanced. SO once I have converted my information to an OEM package, how do I add it to the ROM? DO I just take everything from the folder and add it to the ROM or is there something else that needs to be done?
Second, I have an MP3 ringtone, I would like to add. I have added it to my ROM and tried to move it to the WIndows/RIngs folder using an initflashfile, but it did not work. Can anyone give me any tips here?
Finally, I would like to build into the ROM all of the standard settings the way that I like to have them. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do that? Would using a .rgu file be the easiest way?
Thanks in advance for all of the help in advance. Much appreciated.

Enjoy!
MOD EDIT
this is for cooks only....if you try to install this str8 onto your hero you may brick it....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Tatoo ROM? in HERO thread? WTF?
i believe the OP has posted it to let the ROM cookers have a look at it. It can probably be ported to the Hero.
Thanks to the OP
OK, I get it now. Thanks then. A new ported ROM is always good
i also understand that the tattoo is based on the 1.6 donut build...so would be really nice to get it on the hero
Yeah, I posted this link for ROM Cookers, for usual users it's useless.
Hi guys sorry for the noob question:
I open the exe and search in my PC the Temp folder where the content is temporaly extracted and see a "rom.zip" file.
When I open inside exist:
android-info.txt
boot.img
hboot_7225_0.52.0001_090922.nb0
radio.img
recovery.img
splash1_Tattoo_320x240.nb0
system.img
userdata.img
How can I open the img files to access the files and graphics inside? before in others hero files I just open using 7zip but now i can´t open using this method.
PS:why the userdata.img only is 3kb?
So I think it'll be safe to assume that we can't just flash this ROM to the Hero, even with a Nandroid backup?
Correct, it won't work on a hero in its un modified format. Wait for a chef to cook it up for the hero.
note to all
Don't try to flash this rom to your hero.
Its for cooks only.
You have been warned!
I HAVE PUT THIS IN THE TITLE......as someones bound to try and flash there hero
nobody knows how to extract the files from .img using WinXP.?
Is this a complete Rom?, like I said before userdata.img only has 3.kb
Regards

Sorry I dont know nothing about Android, I use the extracted files from hero build for made a ThrottleLauncher theme, now I want to update the theme a skin other apps (like FM Radio, Wm Taskbar, etc) using the files from a Tatoo rom.
So, please, anybody can post the extracted apps from inside of system.img
I really apreciate.
Thanks
The keyboard on the tattoo looks nice - hopefully it'll be possible to extract it from the tattoo and cook it into a hero rom
Is there any way to change the kernel inside the NBH files from *can't insert link to DZO's Android files for Vogue*? DZO, what did you use to create them? I'm having a hard time replacing the kernel with my custom one... In case anyone is wondering, I'm attempting to install Debian on my XV6900's internal flash. I know what I'm doing here, but after tireless searching, I couldn't find anything about the kernel setup in the NBH files I mentioned.
Any help would be appreciated - maybe I'll make a tutorial when I'm done.
Thanks!

Wrong part of the forum. You should ask in the General section of the Vogue.
Sorry, I just realized that after I posted it. I found what I was looking for, though

Hey thx *****,
Just couple q's tho.
I HV the stock ROM. What does u mean grab from ruu?
Extract it from the kitchen and it will b de-odexed. Is there a tutorial?
Cheers dude.
No mate
1.Run the right ruu for your Rom
Then write in the search bar %temp%
It'll give you a folder called Temp go into it
2.search that Temp folder for the word rom
3.it will get you a Rom.zip file,grab that file but don't unzip it..
When you install the kitchen there us a folder called place Rom here...so put that Rom you extracted in that folder then use the kitchen
