Now that ATT released the 8525 wm6 is there someone who has removed the bloat? I would like to keep the official release for stability but not the extras. Is there anything out there or can I make a request for it by someone who knows what they are doing?
there plenty of roms already using the exact build that is in the ATT release.
most likely, vp3g will do it soon

Yes, but he wants the official build (3.62.yaddayadda.03 versus 3.62.yaddayadda.02).
mcorrie1121 you are right. I have tried most other roms and have had either stability or other issues. No problems so far with the actual official release for ATT. I just don't like the bloat, but I am not quite good enough to take it out myself and not ruin my phone.
I am trying vp3g's latest release now I will see how it works.
OK I have the wm6 .exe from ATT. I would like to break it down and edit the extended ROM to remove what I don't want. I have NBHextract, NBHgen, and Modified RUUUpdater but they may as well be Pig Latin. I have looked thru the forum and I am missing something, or is there an easier way that I don't know about. Any help?

Austinsnyc should be makin one soon. It was hinted at least. I have found his to be the most stable and fast ROM based on the old 3.62, and I used vp's for awhile. vp's ROM is very nice too, but this one just whips it, so I'm waiting.
If you want the AT&T rom minus the bloat, then flash the official rom and do a soft reset when the 3 second counter comes up. That will prevent the at&t customization software from running. The customization software consists of two parts, the first part lives in the \windows folder and is installed with the preAutoRun.exe and controlled by the PreConfig.txt file.
The second part is called by the first application and lives in the \Extended_Rom folder. You cannot see this folder by default. If you install total commander and manually type the folder location in the address bar, you will be able to see the files located in it. It is installed by the AutoRun.exe and controlled by the Config.txt file.
There is an application availabe here on xda(not sure where I found it) that allows you to mount all the extended rom partitions. After you install it and reboot, the Extended_Rom will show up in the file explorer as a folder. What I did was copy all of the preconfig and config files to a folder on my computer. I then modified the preconfig.txt and config.txt files to suite my tastes. I also edited the .xml files to remove the stuff I didn't want(creating all the music icons, installing the internet proxy, etc.). I put all the files I needed in a folder called cingular, and modified the path in the preconfig.txt and config.txt files to be \cingular instead of \windows and \extended_rom. Then I edited the registry settings under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm.
There are two settings that need to be changed, PreAutoRunCFG and AutoRunCFG. They point to the location of the two text files that control the installation of the bloat. You can't change the actual text files as they are located in ROM, not RAM. Once everything is sitting in the \cingular folder and the registry is modified, I kick it all off with the preautorun.exe and my customized at&t customizations are installed.
I only change/remove the things I'm sure I don't want/need. Anything I'm unsure about, I leave alone. You can tell that a lot of that stuff was written by programmers who didn't think anyone would ever look at it. Lots of commented out stuff left in there and other stuff listed as requested by so and so. Anyway, That's pretty much it. If you mess up, do a clear storage and try again till you get it just how you want it. I hope this helps someone.

Maybe you just would be happy by not installing the CUSTOMIZATION? I had the ATT WM6 for a while and if you prevent your device from customizing your Hermes (the installation after first start / screen alignment - you get a message on the screen telling you that IT WILL CUSTOMIZE YOUR DEVICE IN 3 SECONDS - simply soft reset your device within this 3 secs and you will end up with a pretty clean WM6 ROM).
There are other things that can be removed that arent included in the extended ROM, as well as other things that can be incorporated (SetAcousticParameter, anyone?). Besides, i dont have the attention span to do what thexman suggested
If i would do the soft reset right after install to keep the bloat from being installed like suggested then just added the ATT config cab would that work? The only thing I need ATT for is phone calls and SMS texts, no mms or internet. I have wi-fi for that. Then I could just find what I want and add it.
the at&t settings are only used for mms and internet. so in ur case u dont really need to install them.

Let me know what your end results are. I want to see how it goes.
alltheway I will let you know it might take me a day or so though
OK I installed the ROM and soft reset before extended ROM install. So far so good. I can make calls and send texts. Everything else seems to be working well. I will see how this works for a few days though maybe I will try another ROM such as Schaps or another cleaned out WM6 ROM to remove some of the unwanted Windows items. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi all
I was looking for the way to cook my own ROM. There is a heaps of info for a Kiser but not a Diamond. I had decided to start a thread that will show and explain in plain language how to do it on the Diamond. The aim is to have perfectly clean ROM without any unwanted applications or tweaks. The ROM will only contain bare minimum to run PDA. Everything else can be installed with cab files. Also registry tweaks can be applied after installation.
What is more important I want this thread to be a simple to follow guide to cook a ROM so everyone can make one for themself. Since I’m not an expert I welcome any help from anyone.
I had managed to cook my 1st ROM. I had removed some applications without modifying anything else.
I have tested it and it worked ok. However you perform it on your own risk and I take no responsibility if you stuff it up. Do not remove everything at once. Remove 2-3 application and see if it works. If yyou unsure just leave it alone. When you are confident you can remove the rest of apps. Also if you want to remove Opera and TouchFlo you need to change a setup files so lets leave it for now.
You need a Kitchen and the ROM file.
Video Tutorial (rigt click and Save target as)
Extract kitchen files directly to C drive (not to desktop as shown on the screen shot)
IMAGE
Extract rom files into BaseROM folder in the kitchen.
IMAGE
Open !BEGIN and choose option 1
IMAGE
Just follow the prompts and press ENTER when asked. When you get to screen below just wait till asked to press ENTER again. This might take a while.
IMAGE
When you arrive to this screen
IMAGE
your rom preparations are complete.Hit the ENTER to close window.
Go to Kitchen folder and you notice that rom files and packages are extracted.
IMAGE
To remove unwanted applications from rom look into OEM and SYS folders. You need to delete all folders related to paticular application. (create separate folder and move all packages there instead deleting. Later on you can convert them to .cab files and install them if needed)
IMAGE
If you have some cab files and would like to add them into the rom you will need THIS application. Just start it, make sure that Remodule option is deselected, open cab file and program will create new folder containig packagage file. Make shure that PACKAGE_Diamond_ is in front of the filename. For example if you converted TomTom cab you should rename it to PACKAGE_Diamond_TomTom. Now copy the folder to OEM folder in the kitchen. Repeat process till you add everything you would like to have in the ROM.
When you delete/add everything you want start !Cook file
IMAGE
This will start OS building application. Just hit a green button and wait till it finishes. It will create os-new.nb file needed later. Close window on top (never close a DOS window) and rom building application will start.
IMAGE
Fill all the info as shown on the screenshot.
IMAGE
Use apropriate version rom (ie FR, ME etc...). As for the system select os-new.nb which is in the kitchen folder. Also you can select boot images and radios but for now we leave as it is. When ready hit Build ROM button.
Name your new rom (anything you want).
IMAGE
And hit SAVE.
A while later you should see screen below
IMAGE
Hit OK. Wait till everything finishes. Just press ENTER when asked. On the end you get message that rom is ready to flash. Hitting ENTER closes a window. All you need to do is flash it to your device.
PS Everyone is welcome to help. I need information how to update Framework and OS and where I can download it. Please post suggestions, registry tweaks and links to updated cab files for the apps removed from the rom. I will make a video tutorial after I have all info needed. I want to make easy for everyone who wants to have personalized rom.
Credits: Thank you to all who provided these great tools and these that helped in this thread.
EDIT: If you manage to create your own ROM please do not flood forum with new ROMs (unless it is something we never seen). There are experienced cooks that created really nice ROMs. Lets keep this forums clean.
There is a thread in this forum which has a simple to use kitchen. Using it is just easy as Steps 1-2-3.. But it doesn't work for some ROMs, atleast for me. By far, it is a great tool simplified in batch files.
Are you using the same tool or your own customised one?
Regards,
Carty..

Could do my... i just finished my one yesterday a perfect clean rom not staffed wth litter....i used the surface kitchen and based on ce 0s 5.2 20273 wwe a bit customized the manila that's all....
Is it a clean ROM with most apps removed? Do you want to share please.
Good initiative!
I really want to know what is the true performance of the Diamond, running it with just the minimum required.
Even when disabling TF3D and other extras, I find it so slow compared to other WM phones having less MHz... I just don't understand why.
Uploading my ROM now. It is slow. I will post the link tomorrow.
Just a tip, A clean rom is very good if you going to stick with what you got in the rom and possible a few otther apps by cabs, If your going to installed the same apps which are in a full rom then the clean rom with those apps in will make you lose valuable storage space rather than them cooked in and sometimes device will start to feel sluggish but it all depends on how many cabs youre going to re-install.
TIps , there are certain apps which are cooked in doesnt take up any storage space but if install by cab you will then use up valuable space.

Really? Dutty, could you please explain that a little bit further? Don't we have a set amount of storage space? i.e. If you cook some apps in, then you lose some of that space. If you add them later, you lose some of that space. But at least you could uninstall them.
So please correct me if I have misunderstood and I'm only guessing, but are you saying there is a part of the ROM that is only available to the OS 'image', and cannot be accessed in the normal way once the device is up and running? And are you using that space to install some apps? If so, how much space in the 'OS image' part of the ROM is available for that purpose? I would like to start cooking my own ROM's, but I don't want to waste ANY storage space that I am not forced to.
I would really appreciate if you could shed a little light on that for me! Cheers
Thanks, this is great.

bascally there some programs which ar cooked in for e.g Remote desktop, If cook this in its 1.45mb I think, I will only use up only about .45mb and save 1mb of storage space, If i install this by cab I would use up all of the 1.45mb storage space
Perfect
I was hoping/loocking fopr a thread like this! BUT
Could anybody explaine to me how to dump a rom?
The one I am using right now is pretty good and I want to modify
it and loose all the unwanted programs...
But what happens to all the .cab programs I have installed at the moment?
Do they "get dumped" as well so I can preserve them as OEM? Or do I only dump the "base ROM"?
And what about the Reg tweaks? Do they get dumbed aswell?
Thanks for the help...

Thanks for the reply, so what is the reason behind that... How can that 1MB be shaved off? Is it compression?

And to top this, apps that are cooked run faster than an installed cab.
But for some, a ultra light rom works becouse they have not ,uch progs to use, and need to install less cabs.
gr.
Just a short notice, lolek:
I see you've extracted the kitchen to your profile folder.
You'd better extract it to the root of your drive, like C: or D:
batch files have a tendency to disliking spaces in file/folder names as well as names longer than 8+3.

exactly also if you look at some of the benchmarks as well the lite roms are not much better or even some of the full roms are faster, so its all about what u really need in the rom, if your going to install everything back in your rom with cabs, its better to go with a full rom
Thanks for the input. This is what I was hoping for. The aim is to have simple tutorial for anybody to create their own ROMs. I'm off to work tonight but I'll update 1st post tomorrow.
I have updated 1st post. It shows how to convert cab files to packages and add them to the rom. I apologize for the slow progress but I'm still learning myself.
I have asked around how to update framework and OS. As soon as I get reply and test it I’ll post it here.
I know there many experienced cooks so please don’t be shy and help create this guide.
When guide is complete I’ll make movie showing whole process.

very nice man, keep it up!
this is very good idea to put together a tutorial to cook the ROM! cant wait to cook my own ROM with this.
thanks a lot man!
Having a Slight problem with the surface kitchen.
During the process of extracting a rom at the stage of '2a.ExtractDumpIMGFS.cmd'
'Recmod.exe' crashes.'
anyone know why and how i can solve this?
Thanks in advance
Dear All,
After messing around with the tweaks here on the forum, I wanted to build my own ROM.
I want it to be:
-Fast (With the known registry tweaks)
-Stable
-Graphically nice
-With the apps I like
-To have Dutch language, with an extra WWE-XT9
-With the latest OS version (.721)
My plan to do this is:
-Get a good (modded-) BaseROM (I have SkippyCentraal 2.8 in mind)
-Remove all unwanted programs
-Exchange the OS.nb (128Mb, .273) with the extracted OS.nb (.721) from a different (non-Dutch) firmware
-Cook it together and flash it to my Diamond
-Make registry changes
-Dump my own (cooked and tweaker .721-) ROM
-Compile again
-Post it here ;-)
Is this just the way it works? I have just read Lolek47's Tutorial Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413782
and it seems that simple?
Please advice...
Thanks in advance!

When I saw the tutorial I thought it is simple. But when really doing it, it is not that simple: my cooked ROM's (so far all of them) aren't even starting up. Hangups all over the place.
My advice to you is: find a good kitchen and just do it. Eventually you wil cook a decent working ROM. But don't expect to do it in a few days (like I did)
BUMP!
ive got the same plan as burdie!
But just in the WWE language, somebody knows a good tutorial?
would really like it!
yourz,
ruubs
I can offer some advice, coming from cooking on a Kaiser:
I think everyone would like to make a ROM with all those things listed While it may not be impossible, it may take quite some time tweaking it just the way you want it
1. You can't use any ROM as a base ROM unless it is chef-friendly. This means that all the .dsm and .rgu files are included. If they aren't, I'd recommend starting from scratch on the latest or most stable base ROM
2. Removing programs should be easy, because all the Diamond's are organized in .dsm files instead of all being dropped in the OEMAPPS folder like the Kaiser
3. I don't really see the point of having a WWE XT9 dictionary with a dutch ROM, care to explain. Also, what are you trying to do with replacing the OS.nb?
4. I'd not recommend dumping the ROM off your diamond then compiling it. Why would you go through all that trouble when you could just make the registry tweaks you want and then cook it up?
i'd be glad to elaborate on any more of these or answer any other questions you have

hi,
short but very usefull rules from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508293
nothing is better than (electronic) paper ...
SuperJustKitchen v0.9 Released.
Go to my site: http://justkitchen.info to get the updates and the info. It takes to long to update every device's forum that is supported, and I plan to support all devices, eventually.
Word of warning:
Not all EXT's have been tested or modified for the every device. Please test test and test and then let me know which packages don't work and what YOU've done to fix them. (I don't have time to fix ALL of them by myself.) Some packages will only be compatible with some devices.
(I'm no longer updating each thread separately for each device but just updating my site and posting the release info here. I will only update each thread to say that a new version is out.)
**Warning**
Before using this kitchen, you MUST read the whole thread. Any questions that have been answered will be ignored. This is your only warning.
**Disclaimer**
I am not responsible for any damage that may be done to your phone with a ROM created in this kitchen.
I am not responsible for any damage done to your computer.
I am not responsible for anything... at all.
Introducing SuperJustKitchen!
SuperJustKitchen is based on [http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=843218"]airxtreme[/URL]'s osKitchen Zero. All credit on for the kitchen backend goes to him.
Features
A completely stripped ROM. (Work in progress for some devices.)
LZX and XPR compression (Also option for No compression.)
Auto clean files that are language specific or DPI specific that your ROM does not need
Auto port missing language MUI files
Automatic rec'loc'ing for devices without native 6.5 nk's
6.1 and 6.5 support
Auto XIP and SYS porting
Auto NBH packing
Tool to convert OEM packages to EXT packages
Auto file conflict fix (don't have to removing older file that conflict (not that there are any. )
Save custom ROM settings (for cooks for multiple ROMs)
Cook multiple languages at the same time with the same ROM settings (Have to add language support yourself. I removed the required MUI's a while back because they made updating the kitchen and adding devices a nightmare.)
MUCH better organization of EXT packages
Active development instead of a program that is no longer being developed
Cleaner and easier to use interface
A built-in and customizable Tutorial section
And more!
Builds included
21056 - WM6.1
23658 - WM6.5 with new redesigned GUI
At the moment, this is an ENGLISH (WWE) only kitchen. This might change...
NOTE: In order for me to keep track of whether my time was well spent or wasted, if you use this kitchen to make a ROM, please either include SJK in the name or just mention that it was SJK cooked in your ROM's thread.
NOTE: This kitchen assumes that you know how to flash through SD, recover from a bad flash and are able to backtrack your steps to figure out how you broke your own ROM. If you do not understand these, please learn them first. Do not PM me asking me. I have written numerous walkthroughs on all these except on how to backtrack your steps. For that, just remember what you're doing as you do it and keep backups.
If you find any issues, PLEASE report them to the bug tracker in my website. It will help me make this kitchen better!
ENJOY!!!
Well ... I have repaired my Hermes yesterday and now I'm trying ROMs here and none of them really suits me.
So your SJK came in the right time. I did few ROMs for myself last year, so I'm gonna try your SJK probably this evening.
And if it will work flawlessy, I'm considering donation.
Impressive..
Downloading and will hopefully be trying this out soon.
Let me know if you run into any problems with the native nk and changing the pagepool. (I don't have a test device, unfortunately.)

I am cooking a 23529 native build now and will know here soon
Well, I have built 6.5.x ROM with native kernel and 16MB pagepool. I didn't add anything in the ROM and I'm missing Camera, CommManager, ClearStorage and stuff like this in the ROM. Suppose I have to add them externally.
Now I'm gonna try adding some things and changing pagepool etc.

You have to actually add them in the EXT packages. They are not built in so that you can choose your own. I stripped the OEM and created packages of all required programs and made them into EXT packages.
Ooops, my bad. I've just extracted EXT, SYS, SJK, HERMES archives and didn't check the wrong paths. Because everything puts itself in Sources and the EXT has got Working_Folder/EXT instead of Sources/EXT.
I was wondering why I can't see any EXT things in the osKichten.exe
I must be doing something wrong then cause mine won't go past the boot screen using native. I used everything default. Will try again.
This has happened to me the first time i tried this Kitchen ... then I've tried it again and it worked.
But I'm havning problem with the EXT. I can't select packages from the folders. I can just select folders. :\
EDIT: Ok, I surreder - where are the C_cingular, C_xyz.cab things? I can't find them anywhere to get rid of them.

Well, the first issue (not showing apps) was cause by the 0.7 version instead of 0.8 ... i really should give more attention to what I'm downloading.
The EDIT line, about C_Cingular_GoodEmail*.cab, PT_Cingular_Whitelist* etc. - those are apps which are automatically installed after first boot. I suppose it's cause by the line "EXEC:\Extended_ROM\autorun.exe" in PreConfig.txt in OEMOPERATORS. But - where does that autorun.exe has it's config? and where's Extended_ROM in the Kitchen? Because afaik it isn't the same as EXT?
EDIT: I got an idea - aren't those cabs just remains of the ExtROM from AT&T ROM? Then, howto delete them? By making my ROM BigStorage? :|

For now, just remove the preconfig.txt file.

I activated you manually. I'm not sure why it's not sending out the emails. I'll look at the code of the site.
I take it this isn't bigstorage? If not do you plan to have one bigstorage? I'd like to be able to do bigstorage in 6.1 and 6.5 and this looks like my best option..
thanks

Dialer - Every dialer is buggy and if I try to cook there else OEM Dialer (found by google), it doesn't work too
ClearStorage - doesn't do hardreset
Then I'd appreciate battery.dll which is by 1% and not 10%.
Making the ROM BigStorage would be a big plus too. And AFAIK I shouldn't have 39MB RAM with 6MB PagePool? 39MB is for 16MB PP, right?
MrDSL, are you experiencing anything of these issues too?

Strange. I'll have to test the connection wizards on the wing.
The dialers work fine on the wing. Does the dialer named Hermes work? (It's directly from the Hermes.)
ClearStorage - Your device might require an older clearstorage. I'll have to look for one.
That sounds like the native 6.5 nk isn't getting its pagepool changed.
I'll see about that. The Hermes 6.5 nk is notorious for most pagepool tools not working on it.
As far as the bigstorage. Give me a link to it and I will see about including it.
well, i'll try the not-native kernel (what disadvantages it has anyways?)
about bigstorage & clearstorage & dialer - i'll do some searching and testing and send you working links (since you don't have testing device).

I have yet to get a ROM past the boot screen So I dunno..
Sorry if this is the wrong section, but since its about a ROM..
After some hours of taking kitchens and trying to learn to cook ROM's myself, No ROM seemed to get passed the initial setup stage.. So I'm obviously going wrong somewhere... While I continue to read tutorials and learn more. I'm afraid I may brick my device by flashing a wrongly built ROM.
So until I learn the sacred art of cooking awesome ROM's I would like to ask:
Would be willing to cook a custom ROM for me?
I can send a donation(via Paypal)
If anyone would do this, here's how I'd like the ROM..
Base Idea:
WM6.5.3 or 6.5.5 (The fastest/most stable 6.5.x)
HTC Sense 2.5
Cookie Home Tab V2
Apps Included in the ROM:
QuickGPS
Opera 10
S2U2
Slide2Shutdown
CorePlayer v1.3.6
Palringo (Lastest Version)
Extra:
Facebook Tab in Sense
Battery Percentage in top bar (Like this picture - http://i33.tinypic.com/156tjqx.jpg)
I used "EnergyRom with sense2.5" and really like it but it was too slow and bloated for the way I like it to be
Making something as good as that but with nothing in the ROM apart from the things I stated above (and things which can't be removed) I would be very much appreciated and send a donation to you, If you help me!
For anyone interested in doing this, Reply here!
Thanks Very Much
-Dave
Wouldn't Let me attach this to the previous post.
I have 'zipped' up all the cabs for the apps to be in the ROM... Incase they are needed!
Why dont you try this kitchen. Its got everything ready to cook inside. Just you can swap the builds

KITCHEN
http://www.4shared.com/file/140666081/84784956/deepshining_Kitchen_23017-R201.html
The simplest way to get the hang of kitchen is to make sure everything is working by default. SO this is how i started to cook on my own without boot problems
1. Download any of the kitchen (Gen.Y kitchen recommended)
2. Extract the contents to C:\XDA (Recommended)
3. Run the ervius.exe
4. Load any ROM profiles created by the Chef (profiles will be saved in *.erv format in \Tools\Saved Roms
***NOW take a GOOD LOOK at the packages that have been selected to enable the builds...the applications...the sense 2.5 and tweaks
5. DONT TRY TO DE-SELECT or REMOVE package/any files now. You can do this after step 6
6. Press Create and enjoy some coffee or whatever you like till the rom is created.
7. Once nbh is created, flash it to your device.
*** Dont close the kitchen yet***
8. Note down in your memory / notepad what you want to remove from this chef's ROM
9. Go back to kitchen start removing stuffs like Applications Only. This way you dont mess with SYS or XIP first
10. There are some essential stuffs in SYS that shud not be removed.
11. If you want to remove SQM from SYS...you shud enable DummySQM
this will be provided in kitchen and so when you load the chef's profile...the SQM wud have been disabled by default
Once you get the hang of it...enjoy...
Btw i recommend you start with Gen.Y kitchen...this way you can choose a profile with sense 2.5
Hope this helps and save you some money
Awesome! I'll give that a try tonight.
I'm currently using Donsalari's Ultra Lite Sense 2.5 ROM which is really what I'm looking for
Although its only WM6.5 and has start menu at the top, I surprisingly like it that way when using sense
It was a random find, The ROM is fast and has a good 30MB free when running Sense and CHT. Unlike when I was using the EnergyROM I struggled to get 5-7MB free
I think for the moment I'll keep this ROM in my main phone and test out what I do with making my own, on my old Diamond.. (doesn't have a earspeaker, and the battery last about an hour, lol, but still works).
