vivi Kitchen for ASUS P525 : A simple Kitchen ever , modified from Scoter Kitchen.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303195
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,
vibranze

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?

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?

I will look at it when I have time, not too long since I am also using HX4700 and modifying kozhura ROM for my personal use.

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.

[HELP] Please kindly advise on replacing files in XIP

Hi every gurus and chefs,
Thanks to creators of kitchens and tools, i have had so much fun in cooking my own rom. Thank you so much.
Recently, i tried to convert the 1.93.456.2 WWE ROM to CHS. I have managed to transform 99% of the ROM into CHS. but there is only one problem. When creating the rom using the diamond kitchen or kaiser kitchen, at the ending part, it will fall back to use os.nb within the ROM\ folder.
From my understanding, the OS.NB file is an extracted OS from the original WWE ROM thus, the boot.hv, boot.rgu and wince.nls is still the WWE version. how do I replace these files?
Another question would be, when dumping the official rom, the dump_XIP folder is created. what is the use of this folder? if i make changes to the folder, how to i merge them into a usable part for cooking?
i have did a lot of reading on XIP porting, big storage rom cooking and etc. i just can't seems to locate one which explains how to replace files in os.nb or merging the XIP folder to usable part.
Can any kind soul please kindly advise?
Thanks you so much!

Hi,
1. You don't have to replace/port XIP from the ROM of the same device. Only do this if you want to port other devices' ROMs such as Kaiser to Hermes, Diamond to Kaiser, Raphael to Diamond etc. It will boot.
2. Just replace the wince.nls version in the SYS\WINCENLS_WWE with the CHS one you have.
3. Modify all the MUI files and registry as to point to your Language of choice.
4. The OS.NB is needed as the shell/container for your new cooked ROM because it's the requirement for using the Tadzio's tools. So, leave it as is.
5. Cook the ROM.
At least that what I did when doing my Hermes version long before.
Cyphol.

please correct me if i was wrong..
afaik, XIP part is the same for every language,
also in the end part of the building, you need os.nb only as a "template" to rebuild the new one... it wasn't really use the content inside...
normally, you need to copy all content in the dump_xip to the ROM\XIP directory...
to learn about the process of diamond kitchen (which is based on kaiser kitchen so i assume the tools are the same), i think you better use the kaiser ROM, and try to dump it.. and see what directories and files are generated...
in kaiser kitchen, to rebuild the rom you need 3 dirs, OEM, SYS, and ROM\XIP

Yes, that's right for the reason. If that's the only reason, why don't you replace the core.dll

thank you everyone for your advise.
looks like i just need more reading.
thank you cyphol, pkoper and teamee for your kind advice.
I have replace the SYS\wincenls_WWE folder with SYS\WINCENLS_0804. i believe this might be one of the problems. i will try replacing just the wince.nls within the folder instead of replacing the entire folder.
files which i have modified includes the boot.hv, user.hv, default.hv, boot.rgu, a bunch of other rgu as well. i might have missed out a few others. so i will check again.
thanks everyone for your kind advice. if there is any other suggestions or points to take note of, please kindly let me know.
your guys rocks! XDA rocks!

Please let us know how to do it when you have worked it out.
I have tried and when i came to build I just got errors with XIP and i also had missing files, os.nb.payload romhdr.bin
solved the os.nb.payload by renaming os.nb to os.nb.payload
copied the romhd.bin from artemis_diamondish
XIP errors with
Code:
BUILDXIP 0.54 Copyright (c) 2007-2008 bepe 30 Jan 2008
ERROR: "XIP" dose not exist or it dose not contain any Modules!
I used extract xip in the core's kitchen and xip is in the ROM folder
Any ideas?

OK So now I just Copied XIP from Artemis_Diamondish and the rom builds
so how do i get the correct XIP For this Rom?
EDIT:
This plan didn't work

Anyone managed this yet
thanks
