Here it is: a full kitchen for you to make your own WM6.1 ROM for HTC Hermes.
Using this kitchen is straightforward:
1. Run BuildOSPKGTool.exe.
2. Click BuildOS.
3. Click Load ROM.
4. Choose your desired packages, or load one of the predefined sets, using the Load pre-configurated ROMs option.
5. Make sure you don't have PL locale settings package selected, or you will end up with ROM preconfigured for Polish users
6. Make sure you have Execute "Create_Rom_***.bat" option checked. If you won't, you will have to manually run tools\Create_ROM_Make_All.bat script after BuildOS is finished.
7. Click Go.
8. At the procedure end, there will app popup, in which you can set your preferred PagePool.
9. Ready to flash ROM will be placed in Release folder.
Enjoy!

Sample ROM made with this kitchen.
Thanks for this! I'll nab it and look through it. Possibly even make it the rom I run, or at least give me something to play with.
wow thanX very much utak3r aka, just respect 2 u
Man, I like the way you have everything laid out, I started tweaking it to give it the 'boog' touch. Looks to cook fine, now I just have to test it!

Most of the important tweaks are in "utak3r" folder - graphics, rgus, provxmls and so on

I saw that, I like it there.
The only thing I don't see is UC for the autorun and install of things, am I just overlooking it? Or do you not use it? I can always add it in.

No, I use Sashimi from bengalih it's a far better solution, than UC.
Although take a look into my main rgu - there should be somewhere a redirection for autorun's sdconfig to the sdcard.
thx for releasing this
finally i can customize a rom to only have the programs i need without cooking a whole new rom
this is the way rom releasing should go =D
So far this looks like a good base! I just have to figure out why it keeps the same background image when you change themes.
Thanks again for this!
So, with this tool, can I cook a rom in PT language?
If so where can I get the necessary files in PT?
Thanks

Yes you could port it over to Portuguese, but where to get the files I'm not sure. The language files for english are all of the 0409 folders.
Maybe someone with language porting knowledge will chime in.

You need to replace all the 0409 folders with appropriate ones.

OK. I got the files 0816 for PTG from Microsoft.
Now, If want to use another ROm as base of my cooked PT ROM what do I do to the RU.nb file' I used a batch called NBHextrac.exe to extract files from nb file. I got 5 files:
00_MainSplash
00_MainSplash.nb
01_SubSplash
01_SubSplash.nb and
02_OS.nb.
In the cook folder the ROM files are
os.nb.payload
ExtROM.nb
OS.nb.extra
out.bin
romhdr.bin
Now I'm confused...

Now you should build your own kitchen, man... dump it and re-package. Why you can't use the base from this kitchen? The set of apps is of your choice, and it's highly optimized, you won't do that on your own.

I agree with utak3r, use this rom as a base, and replace all of the 0409 folder with the ones you acquired (at least that's the way I understand it).
It really is a nice base, and you can change anything you want. He has most all of the setting you would want to change located in the utak3r folder (open the rgu with notepad).
On a side note, utak3r, I really like this kitchen, I did change the tools to mine (well, the ones I am used to), and added lzx compression, very nice.
When I get it all booged up, I might have to release a "boog's darkvision"! haha
Here is a small preview of the dialer.
Thanks Fellows. I'll use the rom base that is in the utak3 files. It´s the best way to go

maybe you can flash your dopod900 with the CHT_ROM...then tell me the result, please..
hoping you'll be successful!
I flashed it into my T-Mobile MDA Pro successfully，have no problem
So, how can I actually edit the ROM????
I can decode it but I dont know what to do next....
Thanks to all and merry Christmas!!!!

I too got that error message in WinImage.. How do I get around it?
NEvermind - I realise now the nbk is the system ROM and not in FAT16 format. The _ms is the extended ROM and can be used with WinImage.
Is there a way to extract the actual files from the ROM using this? For example, if there is a specific file that is in the /windows directory, can I convert the .nbf to .nba then extract it somehow?
Sorry for the noobish question...
Change my own rom.
How can I dump my Universal original rom?
You are allways giving as example flashing a new (donwnloaded) rom.

Hi everyone.
Attached tutorial contains the infos for ROM cooking-beginners.
Sections are as follows:
1. DUMPING
2. REMOVING PROGRAMS
3. ADDING PROGRAMS (Packages, CABs, creating DSM/RGU files)
4. ROM BUILDING
5. FLASHING
Tools you will need:
- base ROM (any wm6.0 or wm6.1 ROM you can edit according to attached tutorial)
- WinRAR (shareware) (or some other archiver – for dumping ROMs in form of EXE files)
- HyperCore Kitchen (first kitchen I began to work with, it has all you need and much more.)
This is made by Anichillus. With all the respects to other kitchen developers – I find this one most easy for use, and I will explain in details how to use it to cook ROM for Trinity. Please note – this is universal kitchen that covers nearly all (if not all) windows mobile devices. It can be obtained on the FORUM
- WinCE CAB Manager (shareware, for handling CAB files)
- XVI32 Hex Editor (freeware, for modifying initflashfiles.dat or modifying ROM page-pool size)
Added some screenshots from the HyperCore kitchen folder

Sorry mate, I couldn't understand the fckn word you said.
This tutorial is based on Anichillus HyperCore kitchen. I didn't have time to try all kitchens - I used this one to cook Prophet ROMs and now use it for Trinity. It is very simple, with nice icons - and you are operating with everything you need from the Desktop menu. So I just shared my step-by-step experience.
I suggest that you try HyperCore with your base ROM and see if it will go.
If you get into any kind of problems - share you toughts here and we will help.
Cheers!

hi can any one advise me on a clean rom that will work with this kitchen. i have tried a couple of roms using the instructions and successfully built the packages, however my device wont go past the first splash screen.
thanks for the tools by the way

I am DEFINITELY sure that it is due to:
- removed .rgu files from the packages (check again if they exist when PKG tool dumps the ROM into SYS and OEM folders - and be aware that although .rgu files are removed - you can rebuild the ROM but it won't past the first splash screen after flashing)
or
- you edited initflashfiles.dat and forgot to remove first two bytes using HexEditor (as described in manual)
The ROM I used for succesful cooking (and making one light version closest to original WM6.1 and one version packed with the "commercial" software I use) can be found in this thread
Cheers!
phnikola,
Thank you for your input esp this thread!
What pda hv you got?
p3600 or p3600i???
Hello again all,
I have been playing around with the Manilla2D interface for a while and i have decided to release it.
I have redone the whole ROM. It is based on the 20759 from PDACorner27.
As with all of the M2D roms, there is extreme lack in ram and storage... but i have done the best i can to get the most.
Rom is running smoothly and i have had NO issues.
Credits to Anryl, JoshKoss, Zocster, A_C, Mbarvarian and everyone else around these forums.
Screenshot is from previous version but is still pretty close so im not gonna change it.

Thanks ppls,

Problems:
Weather widget isnt working, unsure if its isolated problem
3G Version based on PDACorner 27.
I have taken the advise of others and took the easy way out. (Not easy, pain in the ass really)
Finally it is working 100%.
It is a whole new setup with less applications.
I am about to head out so i will add the links to this post when i get back. It is uploading now to my 4shared so give it 15 mins.
H miffymiffyi.
Thank You for your ROM... Manilla2D looks really GREAT!!! THIS FONT OS BEAUTYFULL and I'M LUCKY BECAUSE OF THIS COLORS (ONLY BALCK AND WHITE LOOKS VERY WELL)
but I have same problems...
1. I can't input SIM-code because... there aren't any visible digits (there is only blank screen and inscription: "The SIM card is missing. You can still make..."
2. Camera doesn't work... I can't switch it on (there is a problem with certificates)
3. Flash light doesn't work. When I set up this function for button "(record)" it only flashes for a second or less.
4. This cursor makes me really angry.
5. That 2 additional games are needless (Free Cell and Hearts)
I've same sugesstion... You could take PDACorner ROM (v25 or v26) and make that your modification on it. I think that Roms are fast and stable but in Your ROM there is some problem with SPEED. It could be the best "mix" of
apperance and function.
btw. sorry for my english
cordially c77yc4
Hi Mick, that looks like a great manilla2d rom, but I believe manilla2d is a dead end for hermes. I tried a few manilla roms and installed on a few naked roms and in all cases it leaves very few memory. opera doesn't properly work, youtube doesn't work etc. I hope you try a non-manilla experience in your next rom.

Ok, after having my cry about being useless, i gave it another go...
I have done a completely new rom based on the 20759 build from PDACorner 27. It is working flawlessly.
This is a 3G version and contains only some of the apps of the previous useless version which ill call the business edition.
The ROM is uploading at the moment called 20759.MS3G.rar in the ROMS folder. Give it 15 mins.
Im off to the pub.

I always hated the ugly wait cursor in most WM6.5 ROM's and after many hrs I finally figured out how to change it and have it working on the Hermes so I wanted to share with everyone else
Big thanks to DJKoa for making these available you're graphics are awesome dude..
It should work with any Hermes wm6.5 21222 and up. ROM cooks will know what to do to cook it in their ROM's. For those of you who want to replace what you currently have then you'll need a file explorer like Resco or Total Commander.
1.) Download shellres.96.dll
2.) Overwrite the file in \Windows
3.) Soft-reset
4.) Enjoy

I tested this on 6.1 and the wait cursor isn't transparent, and the "X" is huge and ugly. I'm guessing it's an issue with 6.1 compatibility.

Correct dude.. the shellres file is from 6.5 os and has different gwes compatibility.. the icons would need to be added to a 6.1 shellres file to work correctly.

Nice Wait cursor... BTW
My sisters's hermes needs a great WM6.5 i came here to see if any of you... has the newer build 21275... I think newer comes so fast, but to the Flashing freaks the time doesnt matters.

can u post bmp files used for the cursor
the default wait cursor WM6.5 is more beautifull
Only cursor
Hi,
nice work first of all,
but i have the same problem as another user, it changes all my status icons,
I only want to change the cursor!
All you would need to do then is just take this file and extract the .bmp pics and then open your shellres file and replace them.
I guess I should be more clear. the only way to change the wait cursor is to edit the images in shellres and unfortunatly that file contains other images also so naturally if you overwrite this file over urs it will change other icons also
Here are the images so you can add them to your own file.
Can you make a new WM6.5 wait cursor in cab file that compatible for WM6/6.1??

I always hated the ugly wait cursor in most WM6.5 ROM's and after many hrs I finally figured out how to change it and have it working on the Hermes so I wanted to share with everyone else
Big thanks to DJKoa for making these available you're graphics are awesome dude..
It should work with any Hermes wm6.5 21222 and up. ROM cooks will know what to do to cook it in their ROM's. For those of you who want to replace what you currently have then you'll need a file explorer like Resco or Total Commander.
1.) Download shellres.96.dll
2.) Overwrite the file in \Windows
3.) Soft-reset
4.) Enjoy

I've downloaded shellres.98.dll but i can't find it anywhere in Resco Explorer. Can u teach me on how to get the files and replace them? I'm quite a newbie.

Question:
1 - are you using ActiveSync to view your files?
2 - where did you download the file to?
WINMO doesn't like to play with that file as it is a system file, I had no luck myself with transferring it using a file manager.
see this thread for a bit of explanation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429355
also - you can use "Marshall Wait Cursor" to access the shellres file to customize your wait cursor for a start...

As a reward for all of you for your tests of my ROM (over five thousand downloads ) I'm releasing the full kitchen for you to try out.
This kitchen is based on PlatformRebuilder from bepe and new interface from ervius. It incorporates the native AKU5 kernel, which has leaked from HTC's laboratories.
It's for smart guys - if you can't do anything with it, just flash one of the available ROMs. If you have some smart questions - don't hesitate to ask, but don't post generic questions about cooking! It's not the right topic for such questions...
I have one good advice for all of you:
as my ROMs a heavily modified, use "Load ROM" option and start from one of the predefined sets, don't start from the scratch! Later, when you get familiarized with my ideas of cooking - go on.
The same goes for adding new builds - DON'T do this at the beginning! There're 23017 and 23052 builds included, so you don't have to - and by just adding a new one you will most probably screw your ROM up!
Have a nice cooking!

Where will I find the ROM once it's cooked?
I'd also like to include my copy of SPB Mobile Shell,it's in cab form.
Will I need to convert it and where would I put it?
Thank you
Move it to the folder without any spaces.

I found the cab2oem
Once I do this to my SPB do I put it here...OEM\HERMES\COMMON ?
What about that error?
I only 'loaded' your ROM,clicked 'create ROM' and got that error.
I changed nothing at all.
There is a folder cecompr_LZX.dll but no file.
If I untick LZX compression I still get errors
I'm using WindowsXPx64 does this matter?

you have it in "Program Files", and it does contain a space, right? Move it somewhere else, like ie. "c:\cooking\kitchen" or something like this.

Now I don't get it - tell me, where do you have unpacked the whole kitchen?
c:\cooking\
I'll download again,maybe bad download?
I downloaded again and it seems fine now ?
I cab2oem'd my SPB and placed the folder in "C:\Hermes.DarkVisions.v5.KITCHEN\OEM\HERMES\COMMON".
I then created my 1st ROM
SPB is in there but not 'active'.
I think maybe I should have placed somewhere else?

Can't remember, but isn't SpbHome being run from the StartUp folder? If so then make sure you have a proper initflashfiles.txt in your package. Check also the *.lnk file - if it leads to the \Windows\MobileShell.exe.
And as for the placement... while it's ok to put it there, all the additional and optional packages should be rather put in EXT folder (but beware, it has different structure!), because you can't deselect those from the OEM folder.
I tried so many times the spb mobile shell into oem or into ext and nothing... it dont works... simply this cab is one of those cabs that cant be set as EXT or OEM by a tool....
But maybe you can make it manually... ameet or -G- has wonderfull tutorials for this topic.
If I will have some spare time, I can do it for you... but don't know, when.
