Recently i've seen a lot of chefs switching from simple kitchens to visual kitchen such as ervius and bepe visual kitchen 5.1, and for the past few days i've been trying to roms, specifically 6.5 roms, but with no such luck, so was hopin a chef that use visual kitchen could make a tutorial for us chefs who can't make the transaction to visuals. Thank You.
This is a good idea, I'm interressed too
dream on... that aint gonna happen. they'll just tell you, it's in the stickies, it's in here, it's in there. but what they DIDNT tell you which section those stickies are. try looking in the homepage of this godforsaken clutter. in the general discussion. i was surprised to find what i need (well... partially) in there and NOT in the designated ROM sections. good luck!!
if all else fail, try other sites. PPCGEEKS for one. they arent that bad.
It starts here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413782
and yes there is more in General Section -> Development and Hacking.
thats for the simple kitchen, looking for the GUI Visal based one, with xipporterex built in

I agree...
There are some confidental subjects (such as visual kitchen and more) in the forum and nobody talks about
Sometimes I have a suspicion about existence of underground section of XDA where all the chefs and wise guys are discussing.
Just eat fish they give you, do not learn how to fish.

I had an idea tonight while browsing for a CAB file. They're spread about in tons of threads. How nice would it be to start a thread dedicated for CAB files. A brief description of the app/CAB, and a screen shot of what it is. That way in the future when someone is looking for a certain one, they can look though the thread, or just see what's been posted "new", or try different things that maybe the new ROM they flashed may lack. Ideas?
GOOD IDEA.
Better Still why don't we just update the WIKI
Give it a single page for "Cab Files for the Hermes"
It would be an easy please to list them all and give a breif description on each of them and their purpose.
It might make it easier then searching through all the threads trying to find a single cab file.
If you click on the paper clip next to the thread title in each forum it will show you all attachments in the thread.
no...
people need to learn how to use the search function... it does wonders when you change the default from Threads to Posts...
While this is a great idea, I'd be concerned that bug reporting and compatability issues would be diluted. If a CAB has a problem on a particular ROM the problem is going to be reported here as well as on the page for the ROM.
If we can keep it clean and JUST have posts about CABs then I would be definitely in support of this, so I guess the best solution has already been suggested - make a CAB page on the WIKI.
Just my tuppence worth!
Wiki Wiki Wiki
Woudl obvisouly help having the cavs in one place. SOmetimes "duplicate" cabs are attached to threads, with different version having different results.
So.... I suggest they are entered in the Wiki.
I disagree for the same reason of walshieau

In all your free time start that WIKI page. The rest of us can use the search button until you get it finished, and update it everyday too.
Update Wiki.
As much as we ask users not to post before serching for relevant issues, it happens again - Somebody asks the damn question before reading first.
So, who has time to spare, update Wiki.

Should this be a Hermes thing exclusively? I believe it should be a CAB archive for anything that works on WM5 or WM6. There aren't many "cabs" that run soley on the Hermes.

You wont be here long to enjoy it.
At the prompting of a post in my kitchen thread, I wanted to get some feedback from those who have been providing cooked roms for users to use. I don't know you all, since I'm relatively new to the Hermes forum.
There has been a lot of customization of exitsting packages as well as a lot of new work being done, and some users would like to cook them into their own personal builds because, quite frankly, one build doesn't meet the needs of everyone.
I would like some feedback from said cooks on having portions their work offered as an OEM package in the Pandora Kitchen - fully referencing the source. For example, a comm manager option could read: Schaps 10 Button Comm Manager.
This isn't an general opinion thread. I'm looking for the cooks themselves to post their feedback on the topic.
Mods - please help keep this one clean - I can see where this might get ugly.
ping - no cooks have any comments? I figured it just slipped to the second page and went unnoticed
not a cook but i hate to see your thread go unanswered LOL. Love the kitchen bro
As I already said, you all can freely use my Comm Manager versions, my VoIP, operator and advanced configuration tools, as well as all the customizations, theme, icons and graphics of my ROMs for ROM kitchen.
Some ROM cookers like jasjamming and vp3G use some of my creations in their ROMs, so there is no problem to provide them to end-user ROM kitchen, the purpose of XDA-Devs community is to share our finds and creations and it's always nice to see that my work is appreciated.
I also think it's important to reference the sources, to be respectful to their authors but also for better support, and if it's possible to provide a link to the dedicate thread for support/feedback concerning only this app/customization.
I'm fine with it provided proper credit is given wherever due. As schaps said... XDA Devs is about sharing. Whenever I find that rgus have been removed, etc., it irks me in this regard.
Also, it should be made abundantly clear that the original creator isn't responsible for a given package working properly with someone's recooked stuff. While that kind of goes without saying around here, a cook's repuation could get inadvertently tarnished by opening everything up to the masses (the ol' "Too many cooks in the kitchen" adage, if you will).
I am a noob and really dont now how to do it but can someone share their knowledge on how to cook one?
there are some stickies here leading to oems/ applications but I lack the knowledge on how to combine them all to become a rom
please help me out
Note : please teach me like you are teaching a kindergarden kid becasue some words are very technical to me and if ever can someone provide link to where and what...
I think i am not the only one who will benefit about the knowledge other members ( maybe) who are afraid to ask
thanks in advance guys
Hi character,
Please just look around in this and the Upgrading forum. This isn't an answer you will be able to get with a reply to your post. There is a wealth of information here in these forums, and elsewhere on the Internet. It is going to take a lot of perseverence and practice (not to mention time) to acquire the information you are seeking. There are a lot of topics you will need to cover.
Look around at some of the excellent kitchens available to you here, download them and analyze what each is doing. They all basically do the same things, but each one has its own flavor. You will find that Pandora automates almost the entire process, while Bennec83's is more manual, and will teach you quite a bit ... if you put in the time to read it's tutorials and practice with it. Read through the Core/Hypercore kitchen threads for detailed information once you begin to have an idea about what you're doing. It WILL begin to sink in after a while.
Really ... read, read, read. Spend time experimenting, and you WILL figure it out - even though it's a complicated process.
Good luck, but again, this is not something that's possible to give as a simple answer to your question. Your best bet is to analyze the available kitchens, dissect the various batch files, and go from there.
-pvs
thanks sir
hopefully someone can provide a kitchen to different roms... just that if I compare it to wizards thread there are stickies there that make it easier for a want2be cookers to be a real good cookers... IMHO
anyway I am not nagging here atleast someone has gone through his time and answer my thread really appreciate the effort sir

Kitchen is not ROM dependent. Use hypercore....pick the ROM you like and start cooking. Cooking is the same as a wizard for hermes, expect the device settings in the kitchen (for hypercore.) So if you have tutorials for wizard that should be applicable to hermes also.
PS: Hypercore will not work if the rgu files are not in tact, then you need to use the hand cooking...Romdonalds might work for this case..

Diamond goes wiki
A wiki page has been opened for the Diamond since a while ago...
WIKI for Diamond
Please look here before asking questions on the forum.
All users can edit this page so you can all add information thus making it a better source of information.
-------------------------------------
I have put many Information in it ...
also some rubrics are empty at time... but i search and put all the time infos together and post it in wiki...
if you see errors or have more information feel free to edit/add that infos to the wiki!!
More major infos about the circulating (Shipped) ROMS are desired !!!
please any of the MODS out there made this Thread Sticky!!! --> THX a lot!
thx
FutureShock (Steve)
yes this should be sticky, but not in this thread, this is not ROM Development, yes its about the product but not specific to ROM Development.
Good work though
Hi, i think it should be sticky here too because many Noobs are coming to rom development forum and asking stupid questions... i have nothing to say there where some problems where ROM developers stoped their work because of always answering stupid questions again...
so i think this Thread is good here too!!
The only thing should be that all help together to put all Informations in Wiki too!!
i agree, though thats where STRICT moderation comes in, i know the guys have been a little slack lately (yes that means you too MrVanx and shogunmark ) but they are can take a few days off here and there.
Like all of us I'm having a hard time flipping arround 1000+ pages of various threads in Applications / ROMs / Customization ... All are for the new comer WM 6.5
Why not CREATE A SECTION just for WM 6.5 ? this will make it extremely easy for WM 6.5 fans to find what they are looking for.
it Should include the following:
1. Themes
2. Titanium Home Screen Plugins
3. Fixes & Tips/Tricks
4. New CE Builds
5. etc
The aim is to provide us XDA-Devs, with a unified section covering all aspects of the New WM 6.5, especially, that I guess after a period of 6 to 12 months, WM 6.5 will be dominating the new threads in XDA-Devs, But yet, for WM 6.1 users, we don't want everything regarding the two OS get mixed in the same location.
The Sooner the better, and easier for Admins too.
Can we Acheive that XDA-Devs Team?
regards;
Will

umm.. i think this is it...
just nod or something..
*Nods agreeingly*
No harm in a few more sections, also not many customizations work for 6.5
Yes please !!!

You are right but I think the point was to catalogue HD/WVGA supported apps, tweak etc without trawling this section.
You could just search but it can be a trudge when you don't know exactly what you are searching for.
all the wm6.5 plugins i'm using, were found at the devs forum..

Same here...
I have no problem with trawling the forums hence the fact that I have only posted 12 (now 13) times in over 3 years as reading usually gives you the answers you need.
But, not everyone is inclined to spend hours sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Where manageable... I see nothing wrong with xda giving people new to WM (and for a lot of people, their HD is their first exploration) information tailored to their device.
When I first got my wallaby, the site was much (much) smaller; I would imagine that if you had just bought an HD and none of your mates have one, coming to xda for the first time could be overwhelming.
You can read all the tutorials but anyone who works in a development environment knows that written words will usually leave some ambiguity.
Most of the 6.5 apps were not developed by devs using a WVGA device so running threads specifically under blackstone would allow HD users who do know the apps to focus on helping others with issues specific to the HD.
Hopefully this would improve their overall knowledge and confidence in their device and who knows, they may be the people that will develop the apps for WM7 on the HD...
I think it is inevitable anyway considering how bloated a lot of general threads are getting with the ever increasing xda population (not that this is a bad thing - wouldn't want this to become an elitist Linux style forum).
Instead of creating new forums all you have to do is put 'WM6.5' or 'WM6.1' in title of each thread.

Hi Fallen Spartan
+ screen resolution would be good.
I am assuming that because Will has posted this under a blackstone sub-category that he feels targeting information, help and support specifically to blackstone users would bring benefit as most apps posted under dev&hacking are already labelled up where they will only work on a specific OS.
Perhaps my point is out of place with the feelings of others but it is not finding apps that is difficult. The difficulty (and I do believe it is common place) is as I illuded to in my previous post.
When you do ask a question specific to running an app on the HD, it can either be overlooked due to the volume of questions other members are asking or the response is not by someone who has the device (including the developer) so help, although willingly given, can often be a dead end.
I do not have a solution for this but I am hoping you may think about how it can be easier for people to help people (I am as keen to help as be helped).
A user could always open a thread under themes and apps asking the question relating to a general app for specific help on the HD
I know I would feel a little uncomfortable doing this as naturally it feels the question should fall somehow into a WVGA/HD sub-category under the original app thread. It could mean that I caused other users to be unsure where to ask or look for help.
PS:
My comments are not intended to be taken as critical - This is a great site!
As with any user experience, the users change as do their expectaions (most users I see on the blackstone forum have a join date +2009 which is truly fantastic) and it is prudent to consider this going forward.
I won't comment anymore as I don't want to appear to be taking this down the route of a philosophical debate and you have elegantly answered Will's original post.
Mark.
Sounds like a great idea
Does this help tho

Yes this is a good idea, but when you search for "WM6.5" you get "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. " because (i'm guessing from trail and error) that the word is too short or sumthing.
I have been looking for a nice theme for my new WM6.5 rom and am spending hours trawling thro pages of forums.
I'd love to see a WM6.5 forum under the blackstone forum.
My Main Concern was/is this:
When you use search feature, it gives you several threads for the same VALUE, but there are lots of file VERSIONS and/or UPDATES.
So, Users will not be able to target the most up to date File/Cab/Tweak, which sometimes causes instability with new Manilla or something like that, but if we have coherent SECTION, updates will be included to facilitate the problem solving without compromising device stability.
I mean it will be a UNIFIED thread, with UPDATES Content, to reduce the hassle, and mistakes.
Take for example those most-wanted:
1. BG for all Tabs? --- there is a 100 versions over XDA-Devs, which is NEWEST?
2. Old Start Menu --- SAME
3. Colored TASKBAR --- SAME
4. Manilla Analog Clock --- m2.0 or m2.1
5. TSK Files
6. etc.
Plus, I don't want to spend a whole day searching for a cab, for the above mentioned or else, and get screwed because I used a wrong version, and need to Hard Reset.
Not all users are professionals as others, there is a various skills in here, from noobs, to profs.
Everything seems so intricate and difficult here, why do we fight over opinions all the time?
Please lets be atleast professional and friendly, as we have always been before.
Again, WM phones are top notch phones now, not like 3 years back, when HTC used to be High Tech Computers Co. (Think Himalaya/Wallabay)

Will
