First, ive searched and there isnt anything which makes sense (and Im quite techy)
How do I go about cooking my own ROM, what tools do I need and are there any guides. Ive seen a few kitchens around but they all seem to be aimed at a specific device.
Thanks

hi
I tried looking around and really couldnt find any information for n00bs to help them cook there own roms.
could someone please advise me where this information is available or if someone can do a breif guide on what to do and how?
dont meen to ask TOO much but its really been buggin me.
Your pretty much going to have to read and search...
I have been trying to make my own for awhile and no luck until a couple nights ago I finally got something "cooking".
I found I ended up using two or three different programs to cook with since they all seem to do a little different.
Sorry I can't personally be of more help but you are going to have to search and read since no one will probably take the time to make it "super easy".
Bhups,
Start with the wiki. There are now a number of ROM kitchens that make cooking "relatively easy" to where we were a few months ago.
My suggestion would be to find the threads in the Development & Hacking forum and simply read through them to build up your knowledge base. This will take some time so be prepared.

Ummm ... you asked this very same question in this thread, and were given an answer (by me)
Why start a new thread with this, instead of reading answers to your last post on the issue?
-pvs
Search the Wizard thread for Faria's Kitchen, it has lots of information about cooking a ROM. Just remember that most of things might be the same for Hermes, but you cant put a wizard ROM on hermes and vice versa. Good luck, keep searching and reading. Follow the link in my signature as needed.
cheers all...
pvs - i'm sorry, I think I missed that thread.
Been so fustrated tring to find places for tutorials I forgot what I posted where.
I thougt someone may have a dummies way of cookin roms ready so they can post it as a reply on a new topic and it can be eaiser for others to find this solution.
It obviously now seems like there is ALOT of reading to do on this, and in multiple places.
okidoki peeps..
me off to it.
Thanks again to all!
I'm afraid I've had to resort to posting the million dollar question, how do I flash a modified ROM? I've been searching for hours on how to but just can't find anything that explains things in plainly. I've visited various websites that have links here but I can't work out where to even start. There's all this talk SPL and stuff that I have no clue what it is.
Could somebody please post replies to this and guide me through it? I'd appreciate it very much as I really like my Diamond but it could do with a boost.
Thanks
Maybe you over looked the search take a look at this thread it will help you,

Thanks guys for the pointers. I must admit I've been looking at these before. However, having looked at them in a bit more detail, I can see how it's starting to get together.
There were 3 things that I couldn't find on the pages...
1. How do I back up my existing ROM (and everything that will be overwritten) so should things go wrong, I have a restore option?
2. The page about upgrading your ROM says.."now download a ROM of your choice". Somehow that doesn't sound as simple as it's put. There are ROMs all over the place, how do I know what will work on my Diamond.
3. Is it really worth upgrading the ROM? i.e Are there any actual success stories of the Diamond "flying" along as if it's just been injected with steriods?
Look forward to your replies.
Thanks
1: ROM backup - search is your best friend, there are a few open threads about this procedure.
As for making a backup of your contacts/msgs etc, you can sync the device with windows, use PIMbackup or sprite backup.
2: You won't know till you find a ROM which fits your needs. There is no universal BEST rom...
3: Yes there are. ^.^

a good place to start is by only downloading ROMs from the Diamond forums
i want to try one of the roms on here and dont know how is there a place i can go to learn how and what resources do i need to get started.
also i have alot of different things saved on my phone and i read when doing a rom you lose everything if thats the case how do i retain my information add a rom and then put everything back???
like i said im new and want to learn how to do it im using winterface but want something different now
Welcome to Hermes! check this mrvanx great guide out (also read the other "sticky's" for more details)...

thanks alot
a question i cant seem to find the answer is touch flow and minila the same thing and what is highest of that software that can be installed and working properly on the 8525?
Hey Everyone,
I am trying to nail this down. Do I need to do the Hard SPL for my CDMA TP2? If the answer is yes, I can go from there. I have upgraded recently from my Mogul (tytn II) and didn't have to (if memory serves) bother with this process to flash ROMs.
My second question: I've seen alot of post about a ROM "cooker" (I can't remember the actual title) it basically looks like a GUI based ROM creator. Does this mean I can de-construct and mash up my on ROMs?
I'm sorry if these have been answered before, but i have been looking all over the board for these answers, and keep finding conflicting answers.

Yes, there are people that Cook rooms, I believe that Cooker is refered to as the kitchen. I do a lot of Flashing, but have never attempted to Cook my own. I would sugest you play around with Flashing some of the more Common ROM's before you head down the Kitchen path
I'm quite new to all of this, however i have updated my Xda Obrit to wm6.5. I have tried a couple of wm6.5 roms, found each good for different reasons and wanted to know if you can blend parts of different roms together to create on ultimate rom? and i so how could i do it?
lol yes, u can make your own rom.. the forum is filled with custom made roms, and that is what u want too
i suggest u start reading a lot on how to make a ROM. there are some tutorials posted on the artemis forums
