Hi everybody...
Like many many people, I've following some threads here at XDA about the releases of WM6 Roms since de first XDA-Live to the newest black 3.0 rom and all of them have a lot of really good things...
I've learned to make custom splash screens thanks to the guides of MrVanx and using the Tadzio tools could modify an OS.nb (the one from the Doppod release thread) file in order to free some memory by cutting off things like the sample pictures and videos, ringtones and trash like that that is embledded in the ROM...
Now I would like to go the full way and customize even more my own ROM...I would like to remove some programs and utilities (in fact for me they are useless ) and even attached to the ROM some other programs like JasJamming or Dutty have already done but here comes my problem...I'm not such a guru and still have a lot to learnd about modifying a ROM and the question is as stated on the title: Where can I read and learn about the diferent files in the ROM???
I dont want to remove important folders from the rom... but the name of the files dont tell anything by itself (at least not at this point to me) so I really will apreciate if you can point me or give some suggestions about where to star...
I think its a lot better to anoy you with this post, maybe get some usefull help and thake the time to learn; than screw my TyTn and be banned after posting something stupid like I brick my device what to do ...
Thanks in advance !!

Mablan
I want to learn how to cook a rom but i dont know where to start. whats the best programme to use? any tutorals? please help
Search for Kitchens.
You use kitchens to cook roms.
The wiki has lots of information to ramp your base knowledge.
I second the suggestion to Search for Kitchen, both in the forums and the wiki. It's all here.
Then the easiest place to start is with matts Pandora Kitchen.
Then as you get more comfortable , I like Core Kithen, he even includes a tutorial.
A great search tool that I use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893
It keeps me from asking questions that have been asked a thousand times.
Best kitchen documentation is available in Wizard forum. Download Faria's kitchen and read the instructions with it. Cooking concept is the same for both the devices, just the OS is different.
Once you have the knowledge, you can try matt's Pandora or RomDonald's
PS: Do not use wizard kitchen to cook a hermes ROM
is there any progamming language you need to learn before starting or is it all part of the kitchen?

no, it's moving files around, running applications, and clicking checkboxes. Super easy once you get rolling.
is there a good tutoral for these things or is a lot of it just trial and error. any good tips? dont want to risk bricking my device more than i have to.
im also running windows vista will that limit my choices?

is there a kitchen that runs on vista? i was tring to downgrade the reinstall to dual boot with xp but it says theres no hard drive whe i try to install so i need one comatable with vista
Download the pandora kitchen....give that a bit of a play with.
I am interested in where can I find base OS roms. I would like to cook my own rom and for example to use build 5.2.2000 WM6. Where can I find it?

I dont think .2000 has been ported yet for hermes...if you can port it for hermes, then you are a chef (like faria or Schap's, etc)...but for us cooks, find the ROM you like (eg. Schap's 4.0 or Pandora's, etc), extract OS and start playing with it.
so far ive read up on the pandora kitchen post and the others suggested in this post. it seems like the easyest to use it the pandora kitchen but it dosnt seem to run. the build os programme stops responding. im currently downloading the latest .net but it might be because i have vista. i cant downgrade to xp due to a problem with my hard drive. should be getting a new one this week but would like not to have to dual boot to save hard drive space plus i like vista.

To ensure you have configured the kitchen correctly (ie put the components in the correct location after downloading), try downloading the Pandora Naked kitchen from it's rom thread (in my sig). It's a complete package - so extract it into a folder and try running BuildOS. If it fails - it's your PC. If it works - it's the way you assembled it.

The easy way is probably to take one of the latest Manila 2D roms (v33 from pdaviet or YuE 11.3), and then just try it.
I guess CID unlock still doesn't work on Vista 64 bit, but on Vista 32 bit I didn't have any troubles.
About other software or mods it's hard to say anything, 'cause we don't know what's your list of "must have" tools, or wat you want to do with the artemis.
One handy util is Advanced Configuration, and with a Manila rom you'll probably want Manilla customizer (M2DC)
thanks for the reply
i realy like the look of BLACK & BLUE v5.0 ROM WM6.1 CE OS 19716 ( Build 19716.1.1.0 )
but i need in built tomtom + maps
Hi,
I was wondering if theres a very fast and stable Rom who only has WM6.1 and anymore working with my diamond.???
Thank you very much for your answer
That's exactly what I want, too...a ultra CLEAN and FAST rom with just base system, so that I can install any soft I want.
There are plenty...
Look at the chef's LITE/LIGHT editions. Many of these do not contain Manila.
Chef 'swtos' just released an updated LIGHT ROM with no Manila.

There is NO BEST option....

I just wanna know if someone was on my situation
I use at the moment AZTORs ROM and i have to said... it rocks! BUt it has to many things that i dont use...
RESPECT THIS ROM ist really good...
It will be really nice to find a rom with just wm6.1 and all BASIC diamond functions, without TouchFlo (Manila) and fast, secure and stable like AZTORs ROM.???
PD: I tried 7 different roms...
I use the UltraLight Morna 1.8 ROM from the great "Carburano":

All roms are available in ITA or WWE version.
It's stable e fast....
Hi guys, I've read the entire internet looking for a solution...!
and I'm not able to find a solution... (probably because of my english skills...)
I've just bought an htc diamond on e-bay and it has installed a non-official rom which it has several troubles: Rom version 1.37.412.2 ESN
I've downloaded the last available rom in spanish (?):
(RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship)
from the htc spanish site but when I try to install it an ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDER ID, comes up. I've read about Upgrading, cooking, flashing and about Hard-SPL, but I'm not sure to understand rightly enough, so here's my question:
What should I do to install the rom downloaded from htc?
I understood that I have the problem because the hard-spl installed on my diamond causes the problem, so I guess I should install a new one...but which one?, and if I'm wrong... where may I find the information to solve my problem? I'm getting nuts of trying so many different things...
Lot's of thanks even if you don't answer, it's been a long read!

It's not that difficult, trust me...
My personal favourite ROM which sounds like it fits your needs is Suiller's Dia Duit ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440683
The beauty of this ROM is that, you simply put all your CABs into a directory on your Internal Storage. On hard reset / flashing, a script will automatically all your CABs for you! There's also a lot of other stuff that can be done (search for tweakPers.mscr in his thread).
nice nice really interesting... thank you people for your tips! i hope we can help someone with the same problem ))

for me is fast o.k.
for ultra clean i can use my ... ähm .. what was the name ... boah, i am thinking but ....
aah its called HANDY
(dont angry, only joke (i hope))

When you look at people's custom roms, usually the ones without TF3D are called classic, lite, ultra lite, no manila etc.
The other thing you can do is go to settings and Today and remove the TF3D check box. TF3D will remain installed but it will no longer be running. You can get TF3D back by rechecking the box in Today settings.
make a list of no wanted and wishes language and wait a little bit.
you will get than your wishes rom.
Hello,I cooked first test (empty rom) with 33 mb of free ram... I start to learn about cooking ,and I need help... When I add OEM packages to OEMAPPS,I always need to replace OPTION file... bcs every oem app have them... So when I start Build OS,he show me only last added package... other not... Where I make mistake ? I want to start cooking.Tnx
Second where I can to find some last kitchen with Windows 6.1 Sys/Xip files ? I mean full kiltchen,based on super storage (80+ mb free storage + 32/33 mb ram) .. I find only Pandora and Bepes,I used Pandora for my test rom,but want to test ...
1 really stupid question.When I use old Pandora rom ,he have for example 50.77 mb total ram.When I make 100% clean rom,he have total 50.63.I seen some roms with 51.02 or 50.96.How to take max ? and why this differences ? Tnx ...
Wiki links dont works (wiki down tempoary),so I need to view tons of threads for every question ... Last 3-4 days I seen 4290842949 threads,my head is little .... broken ; )
And last... I dont see that is Hermes cooking `active`...Many ,many ,many roms,but I cant see new cookers... I want to ask,is worth to I try to `work with Hermes`,bcs he is little old,or to jump to some new device ? Tnx..
Well in this site,I seen that peoples can make free 55 mb of ram...from 48,with some dumping and changing official rom.Why is this not available in custom roms ?
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Ho...t_the_new_IMGFS_file_to_a_new_NB_payload_file

Here is my 6.1 kitchen. It is based on crc's rom (I dumped his rom), you can add or remove whatever you want! It is big storage, and runs quite well!
It will start with ~27 meg, never had any issues with running out of memory with a standard today screen, start adding other stuff to the today screen, and memory goes away!
I haven't been very active on here lately, work got us new blackberries, and my 2 hermes have just been collecting dust! I guess I should sell 1 and keep the other for back up.
Nice to see you again boog im using your kitchen for 6.1 but i use my own OEM pkgs... but i had a xtarnge issue.... in newer builds... i had a mouse pointer when i tap the screen, exactly where i tap infact, and with your OEM i dont have this xtrange behaivour... whats diferent or what do you use or change to make them dissapear? im using 21057 build
I have my old 6.5 hermes kitchen here for you also if you want. it's been a while since i used it though

Oh, man, I'm not sure. There is probably a driver in there somewhere causing it. And because crc didn't use it, I don't have it lol. But, it would drive me nuts too!
It might be a fun chore to find what driver/file is doing it.
EDIT: maybe try swapping the newer browser for the older one.
