vivi ROM Kitchen for ASUS P525
Mainly modified from Scoter Kitchen
Introduction
I've made this ASUS P525 ROM Kitchen for ASUS P525 because I think someone can make it,but no one makes it till now. So I made it myself and share.
Though it is not the best and complex Kitchen with many features but I'm sure it is the good first step for us.
The main aim of this ROM Kitchen is easy using, so this ROM Kitchen is only one click and follow the screen.
You will have a new ROM for ASUS P525 at ease.
Aims
1.For easy modifying private ROM.
2.For helping new user to easy start cooking ROM.
3.For sharing OEM Packages.
4.For someone makes it better.
Let's see
Before using it just let us understand in the same way as follows.
1.This ROM Kitchen is made for using with ASUS P525 only,but it can be used with any other device if modified a little.
2.This ROM Kitchen is modified mainly from Scoter Kitchen.
3.The commands modified from DoubleOFour ROM Kitchen , edhaas ROM Packer Kitchen and some parts from Excel @AsusMobile.ru
Credits should give to them , not me.
Tools use
1.Tools in Scoter Kitchen included bepe package tools and mamaich tools.
2.P525ROMTool from Ingvarr.
Ingredients
There are 3 parts.
1.Program Part : The Kitchen itself.
vivi.exe
2.ROM Part.
3.OEM Part.
Download
You have to download all 2 of these and Base ROM supplied in Packages.
1. The Kitchen in executable file vivi.exe
http://www.zshare.net/download/398685039d2949/
2. OEM Packages
http://www.zshare.net/download/397176124ce74d/
You can find other OEM Packages or create your OEM Packages by looking at this thread.

Base ROMs
1.OLD :
Alex UltraLite 2
SYS and OEM from Alex
{This is Alex ROM (added Powerpoint and WLM files) in packages not ROMGalaxy.NB0.}
http://www.zshare.net/download/3987487fd85cf9/
2.NEW : Add 10 Oct 2007 :
SYS and OEM from Alex,plus settings pages from official ROM. !!!NEW!!!
Add files and settings from official back into Packages.
This packages of Base ROM will create official like unofficial WM6 ROM for your ASUS P525,since I add back official 3 settings pages from official ROM,include official system tray icons.
http://www.zshare.net/download/41190946d9bc4b/
How to cook
1. Place vivi.exe from download 1 in Root of C: and execute it.
You will see a new folder named vivi , this is your Kitchen.
2. Enter Kitchen , replace OEM and SYS folders with OEM and SYS folders from Base ROM provided from download 2.
3. In ROM folder , replace ROMGalaxy.NB0 (0 KB) with any ROMGalaxy.NB0 you want its size.
eg. if you want to build a new ROM with a huge size, place official CHS or Russian ROMGalaxy.NB0 here.
Or if you want small size ROM , place Alex UltraLite ROMGalaxy.NB0 here.
I think you guys already have ROMGalaxy.NB0 so no need to support this file.
4. Place OEM Packages you choose from download 3 in OEM folder.
5. Click Start.cmd.
6. Follow on screen.
That's all.

Vivi,
Congrats! Finally I can see ROM Kitchen for P525 and now everybody can cook their own ROM
Btw, what do you mean by putting base ROM into OEM and SYS folder? Did you mean Romgalaxy.nb0?
I've put romgalaxy.nb0 into ROM folders and BOS failed to execute.
Cheers,

No, Vibranze.
You have to download Base ROM I provided here.
http://www.zshare.net/download/3987487fd85cf9/
It is not NB0 but splitted in 3 Package folders.
ROM , SYS and OEM.
Place them in the corresponding place in Kitchen.
Images attached.
And you have to place your old ROMGalaxy.NB0 in ROM folder.
This is to use as template for new ROM only.
Vibranze,
Check your PM.

Hi Vivi,
Thanks for all your work. Is it possible for you to make a similar ROM kitchen for the HP iPAQ HX4700?
bub
Thanks for your work ... once again
Vivi, congrate. Glad to see someone finally take this job over.
Great work vivi.
Now maybe it's possible to bulid TouchFlo in P525? If anyone could help me with the OEM version of this, please help me.
Thanks
EDIT:
I would like to make my own OEM packages, but I don't know how. Anyone can help me with this too? I saw that I need the files from the program, and I saw some files like .DSM, .RGU. That is it do? How can I make this files, to my programs?
Thanks fot helping me

Jack,
This is why I want your rgu.files.
The ROM with no rgu can't be dumped and Packed as Base ROM.
I try to use P526 Modules from your ROM,but I can't use it since no rgu files.
Could you please give me all files and tell me how to replace Phone Module as your ROM?

Thank you so much vivi, I saw you posting in kozhura's topics a few times so I thought you must have a HX4700 too. I've been trying to modify kozhura's ROM for a long time, but all I have managed to do so far is add some themes and a few programs which don't need any registry entries. It will be great to be able to add full packages.
bub,
I have a look.
It's not hard.
Just modify some command line from vivi Kitchen for P525.
And create Base ROM.
I will make it for you.Not too long.
But I wonder how many users want it?

Thanks vivi, I think there are at least 3-4 people that have posted in the HX4700 thread asking for a ROM kitchen, and I think many more people will start using it once it is made available. The HX4700 seems to have a set amount of reserved space for the base ROM and the user space always has 82.59 MB free regardless of how much you put in the base ROM, so it's a good idea to fill the space in the base ROM, which leaves more space available to install applications in the user space.
Will the ROM kitchen you make work with kozhura's latest WM5 build? I'm still using his WM5 build because it's more stable than his WM6 build and it's almost as fast as WM6.
Thanks for all you work, I really appreciate it.

Vivi,
THANK YOUUUUU!!! I'd been trying to modify your ASUS kitchen with no success. The 4700 community will truly appreciate this. I agree, kozhura's rom is great.

Thanks so much vivi! I'm so happy!
Is it possible for me to use kozhura's latest WM5 ROM as the base rom? What should I do to make that into packages and modules? Also, is there any way to calculate how much free space is left in the ROM for adding OEM packages?
Thanks again!
Thanks. This is giong to be my first "cooking" experience. A nice new way of playing around and improving the hx4700 at the same time!!
Been doing some late night cooking... tastes great. Thanks vivi for bringing this out.
Thanks for the WM5 kitchen!

Don't downplay your part here!
I'd had a tinker with decompiling the ROM but never quite got it to work right so I too am very grateful of your assistance here.
I had a quick play last night and the largest file I saw was Powerpoint, my old favourite for the largest waste of space on previous ROMs so first to go to make space for the useful stuff!
And just how can you remove Powerpoint?

Well simply deleting the 2.59MB ppt.exe executable from the SYS\Office folder will get rid of it, but how do you get rid of all the traces (registry settings, links, extensions) that are tied to it in a clean and efficient manner. I know I can manually remove associated files and such, but what happens to settings in the .dsm file? I can manually edit the .rgu files, but how do you edit existing settings in the .dsm files without breaking something?
Can I remove the "HP Protect Tools" OEM folder (15836286-5263-4a11-8b33-5087ced93124) safely, or is it required by other applications in the ROM?

And then, deleting ppt.exe will cause no harm, even if you leave there all the debris? 2.6MB gives quite a lot of room for small apps!

I delete the ppt.exe as suggested, but I go through every file also to be honest and remove anything that refers to powerpoint, the link file, registry values for 'pps' or 'ppt'.
Whilst doing this I remove other things I don't use (though to be fair this is from when I used the Universal which had a lot of extra crap in it) and tweak the registry value to those I want (though again I can't see that I need to change a lot here).
Easier and quicker is to do a search of all files for the contents of ppt and pps and delete from there.
Vivi many thanks to you,great work for users!
kozhura,
Appreciated your works so much.
You are genius and so kind.
Thanksssssssssss,

Hi,
I have looked a litlle in your kitchen and this is a very useful tooll, thanks !!
Here are my first questions :
1.
I have seen this folder in the OEM :
vivi\Enter Kitchen\OEM\b693f6e6-e6cd-4091-b8f3-40f2b988b169
It seems to regroup every phone manager. As I never used it and I don't inted to use it, can I delet this 2.38 Mo folder without any risk ?
2.
Does someone have information about changing keyboard or adding a new one ?
(I need an azerty one)
3. (harder)
Does someone have information about changing language of the rom ???
4.
How much space do we realy have left to add OEM packages ? (I have searched but I didn't find an information about it)
albertorrent, I can't help you specifically but when I play with ROMs I tend to keep the last working version and then tweak.
If it works fine, that is the new last saved version, otherwise I go back to the previous and tweak differently.
thanks, I think I 'm gonna do a lot of try.
I have an other question, (may be the last for today ;-))
How to add a font in the font folder in windows ?
DEPRECATED VERSION: USE 0.2 BETA INSTEAD
PLEASE NOTICE THAT THIS KITCHEN IS A VERY EARLY BETA AS IT HAS NOT BEEN DEEPLY TESTED
*** USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY! ***
Hi guys,
after many days of testing I'm releasing my kitchen for i780.
It is very basic: no gui, only batch Windows scripts.
What you can do with this kitchen:
A) Convert your Part02.raw dumped rom to bin flashable PDA rom
B) Create a dump folder to cook your own rom and recreate a bin flashable PDA file.
Please notice that there's no tool included to edit, add or delete modules and files from rom dump.
You must use one of the tools available here in forum to do this or do this by hand.
Donwload the zip file and extract everything.
READ CAREFULLY THE README FILE IN THE ZIP ARCHIVE
This file explains how the procedures work and what you need.
PLEASE TEST THIS KITCHEN AND REPORT YOUR RESULTS
I thank chaimd for his bintonb0 tool, tadzio for his tools and Juggler for conv3 sourcecode.
I also thank Topogigi for his original procedure.
I modified conv3 tool to make it work with i780 rom files and made split and merge tools.
If you want to try this kitchen, I thank you!
[FONT="]If any guru in the forum wants to make a gui for this kitchen or insert tools for module, file and registry editing (like the ones you can find in other kitchens), it would be appreciated.[/FONT]
Issue 1: it seems there's a problem with Part02.raw conversion. It screws up connection settings. Problem is being investigated.
[Partial solution]: it seems that this problem is due to both size and language: I used an English rom to convert an Italian Part02.raw.
Using an Italian rom seems to solve the problem. But you must check the new rom size: if it's too big it gets cut down and it doesn't work.
Amazing Thank you very much!

Convert Part02.raw to .bin
Hello famusc,
Thanks for your effort to create a kitchen for the i780! I wanted to create a backup of my Dutch i780-rom (PDA: i780XKHA3) and I managed to dump part00.raw, part01.raw and part02.raw.
Now I wanted to convert part02.raw to a flashable .bin file so I could reflash this Dutch rom if I want to go back to factory defaults, but the warnings make me a bit scary to test the .bin I created, so I wanted to ask some questions first:
-The .bin has to be as large as possible, I have the i780pda_WWE_test2.bin which is 78.512 kB and my Part02.raw is 79.104 kB. The .bin I get when the conversion is finished has a size of 78.512 kB. Does this mean some data of my original dump is lost? (I kinda understand your conversion tool replaces the part02.raw file of a flashable .bin rom with another part02.raw which in my case is the Dutch part., but is all the information still in it?)
-My second question is if it is a problem if I used an English .bin with a Dutch .raw?
If you could please anwer my questions I would be very happy, because I have seen some requests for Dutch i780 roms and it might come in handy for other languages, because in this rom Windows Live Messenger is included (and obviously working). So maybe someone can extract it.
If you are interested I could upload the .raw files i have dumped and maybe you or someone else can create a flashable Dutch rom from it (or extract WLM if it is needed).
Grtz,
Manchurian

If you are interested I could upload the .raw files i have dumped and maybe you or someone else can create a flashable Dutch rom from it (or extract WLM if it is needed).
Grtz,
Manchurian

Thank you for using my kitchen.
First of all I ask you to use version 0.2 BETA: it contains some important corrections in conv3 tool.
Now:
1) Part02.raw is usually bigger than required. So we are interested into its shrinked size. I think that your 78512K bin file should be good.
In 0.2 kitchen it is explained how to check bin size is enough for new data.
2) It's not clear whether you'll have problem with a bin of a different language than raw file. As for my experience, I always got connection problem when I used a different language bin. You can try and then have a look at connection settings and at wifi Internet-Work settings. If you find no connection defined or you can't connect through wifi, than it doesn't work.
You should use a Dutch bin to be sure you'll have no problem.
Hope I helped you,
Bye
Hi, Thank You for your I780 Kitchen ,
this is first time i build a rom,
may i know that where can i found the file
part02.raw?
Thank You for reply =)
Asus has released a CHH (CHinese Hong kong) ROM update to P320.
It uses a bin format that needs processing to get the nb0 file.
I wrote a tool to convert the bin file into nb0 file. However it does not have the function to convert nb0 back to bin because of the complexity.
The converter can be downloaded at http://www.mediafire.com/upload_complete.php?id=pilqms9mmbx.
Usage: p320bin2nb0 <bin_file>
After successful conversion, the resulting file is output.nb0, which can be processed by using imgfsfromnb or msflshtool.
Good job,
THis will help research more into custom ROMs for p320.
Thanks for the great tool

how to convert new ROMs
New ROMs for P320 - ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/P320 - ZHH, FRA, RUS
New ROMs is encrypted
p320bin2nb0 not works
Any idea how to convert new ROMs?
it is very strange in the newer roms especially from Samsung and Asus..they all have this 200 bytes signature as explained...this is also repeated in LG ks20 ROMs..
Also, if the ROM is dumped from the device directly, it can b dumped into xip and imgfs parts, and can b processed further..I hv the os.nb of bothe the wwe rom versions of p320 4.5 and 4.8..if required, I can upload on rapidshare.
Need more research on as how to remove the signature and make a rom kitchen out of it..
Try this:
1 XOR whole .CAP file with DWord base 0xA87BA4DF (value could be wrong - used from P750 ROM's)
2 cut off the first 0x200 bytes
3 Rename file to .NB0

Там не САР, прошивка сразу в BIN.
any news?
Is it posible to port the this FW to Asus P535?
Both devices are almoust identical except few things.
At least.. to take the ASus Today and GPS Cacher ... from this ROM? in order to test them in other Asus Pda's.
man.. your exe is not working...

Start autorun.exe included in downloaded file, it decrypts the rom and save it in the SD root with the name 850_GAX_SD.bin (without _ENC).
Then p320bin2nb0.exe seems to work, I'm not sure becouse it's impossible dump it!!!
good job,but the file can't be download!

try with http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us and select "Mobile Phone", "P series" and "P320"
Try to get p320 decrytion tool from this link http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=146449&PN=1
enjoy !
Old veriosn of tazio tools work, as p320 has no space, whatsoever we do, we cannot increase the storage space...that is why the old version of imgfsfromnb work and not newer.
hi, where to find these tools to extract p320 roms ?
thanks!

Hi gurus,
I have tried several official rom and I would like to know on how to I release the ULDR as Bepe had mentioned in his rom thread on the official roms.
i have just learn cooking and have managed to alter offical roms to my likings. but the storage space is just not enough on the official roms, even after cooking.
thus, can any kind chefs share with me on how to release more storage while cooking. I believe this would be relatively useful for all newbie cookers.
Thanks a million!

i am using the diamond kitchen posted in this forum.
kind of straight forward, like pressing 1 or 2 to cook or rebuild roms
You have to break it into steps, and stop after XIP merge with OS (just before buildOS)
This is where you can add, remove anything. Packages, etc.
i have managed to cook up a good storage space rom with the advice from the seniors here as well as the wikis.
but now i have another problem.
i have managed to turn one of the latest official WWE rom into Sim. Chinese. although, i have replaced all the wince.nls in the WWE rom to the asian WWE, but after cooking and flashing, it does not shows the chinese regions.
i have tried several ways but still couldnt find a way to solve this.
for replacing wince.nls in roms, is there areas which i need to look at, or files i need to replace?
btw, the cook WWE rom is entirely in chinese now on my device, the only left unsolve is the wince.nls.
one side track question, how do i disable error reporting? every now and then i received a pop up screen saying that certain task has caused an error ...
can anyone kindly help?
Ruff, if ever there's anything you don't know how to do with tools, just do it on your handset, dump and rebuild the rom. As simple as that.
So just disable the error rep and happy dumping.
^.^
i almost give up here.
i have replace the default.hv and user.hv with the one found in the CHT officlal rom but still, my Cooked WWE rom is still unable to initialise the asian wince.nls ...
what am i missing here?
can any kind soul shed some light?
2nd issue> connectionsetup keep returning an error in the first boot. how do i stop this?
hi all,
thanks for everything.
i just found out why the wince.nls is not used correctly.
after replacing the os.nb in the ROM\ folder with the os.nb from the offical chs rom, it works.
although, i dun understand why but it works now. chinese region is selectable.
i also found that the temp\dump_XIP is practically useless, as the kitchen build os without using it at all ...
guess i still need to figure out more stuff manually and stop using the CMD script. it may be the CMD scripts that is set to extract xip from os.nb when cooking rom. thus, rendering the dump_xip not being used.
thanks. if there is any advice for me, please kindly let me know.
i love XDA and thank you JugglerLKR so much for the kitchen.
Hi ruffruff,
Could you please give me any advice on how to change the OS language ? I had some translation experience on the htc wizard but it was a nightmare. I see it seem easier on diamond roms. It would be great If I could change some of the "plates" cooked on here in Italian. I really hate having the phone in wwe.

hi smogdragon,
i believe you already have a kitchen at hand.
if so, you will need to find a italian rom first and dump the rom. after which, save the dump. then find the WWE rom which you like and wish to change it to italian. dump the WWE rom and replace all the 0409 packages and files to your italian packages and files which you have dump earlier.
cook the rom and flash.
finally, i have everything working out nicely.
ram available after first boot is still not as much as the senior cookers here.
i have 2 requests and hope that some kind soul or seniors can help me with:
1) Can anyone release to me the correct backward compatible netcf3.5 for rom cooking?
2) Can anyone release to me the 20270 XIP and teach me how to port it to my cook rom?
thanks and hope that some kind soul can assist me.
I see Nothing is changed. DO you replace all the files by hand ? Or have some kind of automated procedure ? The problem for me is I've not seen any .93 build in italian yet so I don't know where to find the files without messing the build.

u dun really need the exact build for the italians mui files.
just find an available italian rom and extract all the mui files out.
in english rom, replace those 0409 folders and files with your MUI files by HAND. hehe, no pain no gain ...
do more reading on the forum. i am no expert. like you, i am also a newbie/noob in rom cooking. just trial and error. i too need guidance from the expert but in the meantime, when they are not responding, you have to DIY...
cheers

Hi,
I'm trying to cook my own rom to convert the official Russian rom into english.
I've a quick question about the replacing the 0409 folder.
I'm going to be going from 0419 folders (russian) to 0409 (english), do I delete the 0419 directories and just add in the 0409 ones, or do I have to delete the 0419 folders and then rename the 0409 to 0419.
I'm guessing just delete the 0419 ones and stick in the 0409 instead, but want to make sure.
Is there anything else I need to do. I guess I'm looking for all the 0419 folders in the \OEM and \SYS directories?
Does anyone know if this will get around the region lock on a Russian Diamond?
Plus is there anything else I will need to do?
Do I have to do anything with XIP, that's something I'm really not sure about?
Cheer
Andrew
