Is there any way to change the kernel inside the NBH files from *can't insert link to DZO's Android files for Vogue*? DZO, what did you use to create them? I'm having a hard time replacing the kernel with my custom one... In case anyone is wondering, I'm attempting to install Debian on my XV6900's internal flash. I know what I'm doing here, but after tireless searching, I couldn't find anything about the kernel setup in the NBH files I mentioned.
Any help would be appreciated - maybe I'll make a tutorial when I'm done.
Thanks!

Wrong part of the forum. You should ask in the General section of the Vogue.
Sorry, I just realized that after I posted it. I found what I was looking for, though

Hello All,
Firstly, I would like to say how great this website is and tip my hat off to all the people involved in maintaining this site.
I am very new to the whole XDA modification scene and have a ton of newbie questions. I know some of these questions have been asked before; however I still have not grasped the concepts fully. I have tried to restate the questions asked before so that I (and hopefully other newbie’s ) can fully understand how to modify XDA’s.
Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
So here goes the questions:
When creating a customized ROM (using MKRom) my understanding is that one has re-create the initobj.txt and the Default.reg. Is it possible just to install all the applications you want, and then download the initobj.txt and the Default.reg and place them in the cfg directory for the custom ROM?
If this does not work, how does one know what to edit in these files?
When MKROM request a Rom image, is it requesting the backup ROM IMAGE? Will any image do?
When backing up a ROM, what option does one have to select to backup the operating system, settings and programs inside the ROM? Does CE do all of this?
What is CE, Boot, GSM stand for in the boot menu?
If one wants to just create a new boot image, what is the simplest way? Does one have to create a whole new ROM?
If one wants to just have the unlocking software, what is the simplest way? Does one have to create a whole new ROM?
When creating a Rom using RomKitchen, it asks you add Add your own ROM files? Is this your backup rom?
In RomKitchen one of the readme files asks for:
bootimage.bmp,_initobj.txt,_initdb.ini,_default.reg,xipchain
Is the default.reg and the initobj.txt in this directory have to be pre altered for the new programs one wants in the Rom like the way the MKROM wants them? Does the setup program create them for you?
Is the bootloader.nb0 file specific to the boot loader you have?
Very confused what is exactly needed in the /CFG directory.
In the CFG directory do you place your backup Rom dump?
Hi ...
Do you call these as newbie questions ??!! :shock: ... I can hardly wait to see your advanced ones :wink:
If I got you right, you want to "create" your own ROM instead of doing like most of us by "cooking" a new ROM in one of the kitchens like www.yorch.net
I may advice you to move this thread to the "Hacking it" forum which I see it a better place than here.
I am a newb, but I have searched and been unable to find what I need. I am trying to build a custom rom for my Treo 700wx. I have found the tools to convert a cab file into an OEM package. Now all of the other ROM kitchens are very automated and you can just click on the OEM and everything is done for you. The kitchen that we have for the 700 (thanks Ebag) is not as advanced. SO once I have converted my information to an OEM package, how do I add it to the ROM? DO I just take everything from the folder and add it to the ROM or is there something else that needs to be done?
Second, I have an MP3 ringtone, I would like to add. I have added it to my ROM and tried to move it to the WIndows/RIngs folder using an initflashfile, but it did not work. Can anyone give me any tips here?
Finally, I would like to build into the ROM all of the standard settings the way that I like to have them. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do that? Would using a .rgu file be the easiest way?
Thanks in advance for all of the help in advance. Much appreciated.
Not that i have any use for now but how do you chef do to extract such and such exe or image from a rom and cook it into your own?
I'd like to start and do my own simply because I'd like to be able to customize my own and also learn how you do it...
Can anyone point out to me some tuts or where to start?
Thanks

Have a look on the Wiki or the "* Upgrading Forum" for your Device type. There is normally a ROM Kitchen thread / wiki page.
Thanks

Here, you are looking at the wrong page.

thank you, i find the cab file from your link. now its time to try android
Ok maybe it's not the good part of the forum to ask... anyway I searched but can't find any info (xda and google). I'm sure it exist... but to noob to find.
I would like to try making my own build.
I found some tuto, setup Ubuntu in VMware, setup everything...
So I made my first build... a pure CM7 RC2 and it's working after flash on my DHD.
Great... but spending one day to make something I can download...
So now I want to play with sources in order to "fine tune" my CM7.
Where I can find tuto to do this?
I would like to start easy: remove unneeded app, modify some config files (build.prop and gps.conf), themed a little...
Thanks in advance for your help.
all you need to know is in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837781
ok... my question has to go to Q&A... but this was not my initial question
So if some one can provide some usefull links.
Thanks in advance.
might be me, but i am failing to recognize the actual question here.
you want to remove apps, delete them. you want to edit [somefile], get your favorite text editor and edit [somefile]. you want to make themes, well i think you can work out the scheme here...
Yep I agree, it's maybe not very clear.
I manage to make a build from the CM7 repo. Honestly, I setup the system but don't understand how the ROM is made from all the files.
I would like to adapt the sources in order to build just what I really use in the ROM. I think that when an app is added from source additional things come with it (parts needed by the app only). If you remove the app from the ROM zip these things are not.
What I need is too understand the structure of the folders and files to leave only what I need + my setting, app...
I also need to understand how building a ROM from files from the repo dir but with "modified" parts from a local dir (to mix for example part of two ROM).
Of course I will not ask all my question here so I would like some links to guides or web sites where I can find some info.
Maybe an example:
Today, when a new build is available, I prefer to backup only my PIM data and wipe all reinstall fresh ROM.
Then I setup up the files (gps.conf & build.prop).
Install my apps (remove some)
restore my data.
I would like to have the ability to follow the updates via repo.
Have all the "tuning" on my HDD, apps, conf files...
update some config on my PC
Then build my own ROM directly.
So I flash, restore my data and voila.
