Can Someone Help Me Cook Up 2 Roms together

I really need some help I am not to tech with cooking things up but can someone help to do this.
what i want to do is get Black X (jj rom) and Schaps WM6Pro 3.60 (of course its schaps rom) and merge them together and when i mean merge i mean copy one rom and then try to add the other rom stuff into that rom. so please can someone help me to do this. i dont know if that is going to be hard to do.
thanks
There are many many kitchens out there for you to do what you want to do. Just take apart both the ROMs, and then copy which packages you want into the ROM of your choice and you'll be good to go. What is it in Black X that you like and What is it in Schaps WM6Pro 3.60 that you like?
is it easy to do are do you have to know how to program b/c i do not know how to program but if it can be done by anyone then i will try it out.

can anyone help cook a device specific rom?

hi i have been searching the web and xda in particular to see if a wm6 rom exists for the htc panda nothing seems to exist.
i would be very grateful if anyone could advise if a rom exists or if anyone would be able to put together a rom that will work
failing that i am a complete rom noob any advice on where to start if i want to put one together myself (but dont want to brick my phone)
many thanks

hi Cruzz,
cheers for being the only one to respond, i know there are a lot of panda users who are likely to be following this
the problem for me and probably most others is as follows, i can pull the wm5 rom from my argon, but beyond that i am lost, will any wm6 rom work? and what do i need to keep from the wm5 build.
i admit building the rom is beyond my skill, will try but unlike hexediting an app, i make a mistake i brick my device.
will give your advice a try but can you reccomend a base wm6 rom i could use and also what files do i need to keep?
cheers
Chris
Same situation
I am also currently trying to cook a custom ROM for HTC PAND100.
I have an O2 XDA Argon and am trying to get HTC rom onto it.
although this is beyond my skill level also, the tools supplied by the likes of buzz/pof/etc (sorry for the ppl I missed) make this quite easy
Im am very close to cracking it but need a copy of an O2 rom image.
Is there an easy way to extract the ".nb" files from my device? e.g buzz' tool that dumps a ".bin" file or an easier method?
I have a copy of the HTC RUU and extracted ".nb" files if anyone requires this for comparison/wants to swap sum Panda files.
Cheers people.

http://energy.wub.nu/HTC Snap OEMROMSYS.rar
I know there's no cookers for the Excalibur, except me.... If anyone wants to take a crack at it before I do, be my guest. If not, look for a new ROM for the dash with this stuff in it, SOON.
Link didn't work...or I'm a moron.
Link doesn't work. But awesome. Cook us up something good!
Guess I'm the moron.... link fixed now...
Will it be possible to do a multilingual rom and not just WWE ? Is it in your projects ?
What languages are included in this ROM?
I downloaded the rom, and I think that it is only an English ROM (409).
Are you sure? Usually such ROM make multilingual.
No I think well it is only english... But I am not an expert in ROMs
This ROM, by a photo, is very similar on 'Rose' ROM. Who can tell me, thats langs included in this ROM?

Greetings from Sri Lanka!
The entire excalibur community is waiting till you cook Please spare some time for it Keep up the good work!!
I need some help. I have the HTC Maple/Snap/Captain latest rom from Tmob... I need someone with seasoned experience in ROM dev to remove a timebomb in the ROM. I can give instruction on the hex values to change but I just don't have time to do this. If someone will PM me I can provide a one time link to the ROM. All I ask is that the timebomb be removed this weekend and the ROM returned to me clean. If someone can help me then you'll have a clean ROM to hack to your hearts content.
thanks!!!!

I can help cook something if needed. I've retired the Excaliber due to time constraits. Let me know if I can help with anything.

What time bomb? Did anybody extract the XIP successfully?

I would very much be interested in an extracted XIP as well...
There is NO timebomb....
I think that with a simple Hex Editing with OS.nb, we should be able to extract the XIP...
You can get it with XIP Tools.
Try my XIP, I PM you the link. I managed to dump it with XIPport. Send me some feedback if it works.
Heres the link: XIP.bin, I haven't tried it yet but I did manage to extract/dump it using XIPport...
Here is new xip 21040 for Excalibur. It's working ok.

[REQ]Diamond WM6.5 WWE kitchen

Hello Guys!
I just recognized that Windows Mobile 6.5 is very fast and that it also doesn't need as much memory as 6.1. But in every 6.5 ROM I found there's something missing I would like to have in.
Where can I get a WM6.5 Kitchen? The best would be when it is with the latest build available.
I Just don't know where to get this, and I never cooked before, just want to try with it (don't ask me why, I just want to)
It would be very nice if someone can give me a link for a kitchen.
Thanks in advance
regards
Fireblade310
danny_and_2 created a kitchen based on the 21500 build which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503128.
Im also currently trying to create a kitchen based on the Stock HTC 2.03 rom and build 21501 using Ervius' Visual Kitchen but haven't been able to successfully port the XIP yet (device doesn't boot).
Thank you for your answer, I will have a look on it.
To prevent damages because of a non booting device the best way is to flash test roms via customRUU and to place a working diamimg.nbh on the internal storages, or is there any other way?
Regards
Fireblade310
I tend to leave a copy of the stock htc rom on the internal storage (as DIAMIMG.nbh) and flash my test roms using customRUU, that way i can always get my device up and running again quickly if things dont quite work out.

i907(epix) rom dump done, build and upgrade thinking

there is a offical release rom upgrade for samsung i907, it is a exe file.
杖剑天涯 from xbeta tried it , and get the nb0. I have get the dump files.
Just use a file osnbtool.exe, which is wrritten by Weisun from pdaclan.com.
Rename the exe a simple short name like Samsung.exe
then run the following in DOS mode.
osnbtool -sp Samsung.exe
osnbtool -sp Samsung.exe.BIN.NB0
osnbtool -d Samsung.exe.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 1 xip.bin
osnbtool -d Samsung.exe.BIN.NB0.OS.NB 2 imgfs.bin
the rest work is just kitchen work.
the next thing is build and test it.
flash the rom is another difficulty. the pda part could be flashed separately would be better , just like the i617.
BTW: osnbtool is a so powerful tool. I hope more people can use it. and it is from China.
Is it WM61 or WM65?
wm6.1 20276. of course you can port to wm6.5 , if it can be flashed to the device.
