vivi ROM Kitchen for iPAQ Hx4700
Mainly modified from Scoter Kitchen​
Introduction
I've made this iPAQ Hx4700 ROM Kitchen because I think someone can make it,but no one 've made it till now. So I made it myself and share.
And someone asks me for this after I publish my vivi ROM Kitchen for ASUS P525.
Though it is not the best and complex Kitchen with many features and I think not many users want this Kitchen,but it's good to share.
The main aim of this ROM Kitchen is easy using, so this ROM Kitchen is only one click and follow the screen.
You will have a new ROM for iPAQ Hx4700 at ease.
Aims
1.For easy modifying private ROM.
2.For helping new user to easy start cooking ROM.
3.For sharing OEM Packages.

Vivi,
THANK YOUUUUU!!! I'd been trying to modify your ASUS kitchen with no success. The 4700 community will truly appreciate this. I agree, kozhura's rom is great.
Regards.
Thanks so much vivi! I'm so happy!
Is it possible for me to use kozhura's latest WM5 ROM as the base rom? What should I do to make that into packages and modules? Also, is there any way to calculate how much free space is left in the ROM for adding OEM packages?
Thanks again!
Thanks. This is giong to be my first "cooking" experience. A nice new way of playing around and improving the hx4700 at the same time!!
Been doing some late night cooking... tastes great. Thanks vivi for bringing this out.
Thanks for the WM5 kitchen!

Vivi already stated in his post that the base rom is the latest kozhura WM6.
==========
Base ROMs
Already included in Kitchen for easy using.
Base ROM is latest kozhura WM6 WWE ROM fixed 2 but repacked as Packages and modules.
What should I modify to get a 8MB or 32 MB PagePool?
Thanks.

Don't downplay your part here!
I'd had a tinker with decompiling the ROM but never quite got it to work right so I too am very grateful of your assistance here.
I had a quick play last night and the largest file I saw was Powerpoint, my old favourite for the largest waste of space on previous ROMs so first to go to make space for the useful stuff!
And just how can you remove Powerpoint?

Well simply deleting the 2.59MB ppt.exe executable from the SYS\Office folder will get rid of it, but how do you get rid of all the traces (registry settings, links, extensions) that are tied to it in a clean and efficient manner. I know I can manually remove associated files and such, but what happens to settings in the .dsm file? I can manually edit the .rgu files, but how do you edit existing settings in the .dsm files without breaking something?
Can I remove the "HP Protect Tools" OEM folder (15836286-5263-4a11-8b33-5087ced93124) safely, or is it required by other applications in the ROM?

And then, deleting ppt.exe will cause no harm, even if you leave there all the debris? 2.6MB gives quite a lot of room for small apps!

I delete the ppt.exe as suggested, but I go through every file also to be honest and remove anything that refers to powerpoint, the link file, registry values for 'pps' or 'ppt'.
Whilst doing this I remove other things I don't use (though to be fair this is from when I used the Universal which had a lot of extra crap in it) and tweak the registry value to those I want (though again I can't see that I need to change a lot here).
Easier and quicker is to do a search of all files for the contents of ppt and pps and delete from there.
Vivi many thanks to you,great work for users!
kozhura,
Appreciated your works so much.
You are genius and so kind.
Thanksssssssssss,
vivi
Hi,
I have looked a litlle in your kitchen and this is a very useful tooll, thanks !!
Here are my first questions :
1.
I have seen this folder in the OEM :
vivi\Enter Kitchen\OEM\b693f6e6-e6cd-4091-b8f3-40f2b988b169
It seems to regroup every phone manager. As I never used it and I don't inted to use it, can I delet this 2.38 Mo folder without any risk ?
2.
Does someone have information about changing keyboard or adding a new one ?
(I need an azerty one)
3. (harder)
Does someone have information about changing language of the rom ???
4.
How much space do we realy have left to add OEM packages ? (I have searched but I didn't find an information about it)
albertorrent, I can't help you specifically but when I play with ROMs I tend to keep the last working version and then tweak.
If it works fine, that is the new last saved version, otherwise I go back to the previous and tweak differently.
thanks, I think I 'm gonna do a lot of try.
I have an other question, (may be the last for today ;-))
How to add a font in the font folder in windows ?
Download 20270 WWE here - http://rapidshare.com/files/133902189/ASUS.P525.WM6.1.20270.1.3.1.ENG.exe.html
Download 20273 WWE here - http://rapidshare.com/files/134088825/ASUS.P525.WM6.1.20273.1.3.3.WWE.exe.html
SYS from Diamond. Based on anper, mrtoto and vivi kitchen tools. Works pretty well. If prompted for password while OS building - type: mrtoto
Thanks to Alexx~ from asusmobile.ru
Minor bug: if using the 20270 - do not apply GSMFix from Alex[DFR] while cooking the ROM - the device will not boot. The problem is fixed in 20273.
Brief description (in Russian) and screenshots are here: http://asusmobile.ru/board/viewtopic.php?p=159917#159917
Screenshots are for Russian kitchen but WWE are the same.
Developed by Alexx~ from asusmobile.ru
Special thanx to:
vivi (kitchen)
mrtoto (kitchen)
anper (idea and basic NB0 Kitchen)
intruders (WiFi delay and other useful utilities)
Alex[DFR] (GSMFIX and custom Radio)
sorg (Pulse vibra and xT9)
Minor bug: Brightness.exe from P750 does ot work in the ROM obtained. So replace brightness.exe with the attached file straight in the cooked ROM or replace it in the dump folder while cooking.

thx

btw, crude hexedit of NB0_kitchen.exe may provide SMALLER pagepool amount - 3 mb seems to be AS GOOD as 4-8 mb, so - if you need more free MEM, try this hint.
nothin, as you probably understood from my topic about the new 20721 rom - I already have new kitchen.
Later I will upload ROM and SYS folders for the kitchen - just replace them in the kitchen and you will obtain new XIP and SYS (20721 AKU 1.4.0).
of course i will test new one...

20273 is first 2xxxx rom that i am trying on asus, it works ok, waiting impatiently for newer base...

Will there be any newer kitchen (wm6.1) for Asus P525

The newer kitchen is just replacement of SYS folder. Not only for 6.1 but also for 6.5. Why don't you do it by yourself? If you have problems porting XIP and making rom.tpl - just notify and I will give you wanted one.
There are a few kitchens out there and all seem to be based on the same base version but are slightly different.
What kitchen do you use? and how successful has it been for you?

Hey there
I'd like to cook an own windows mobile-rom for Artemis with Manila 2D. I found HyperCore to cook the rom. With HyperCore, you can edit an existing rom or a "clean one".
Where do you get the unbrandet, new versions of wm 6.1 for cooking from?
thank you!
you dont necessarily need a ROM as a base
if you want a specific build then google for that build and find XIP and SYS
and put that in your kitchen
and if you are new you may like to start with "artemis diamondish kitchen"
its very simple and easy to use
thank you!
with "artemis diamondish kitchen", I can include also the manila files?
yes you can
get OEM package for the apps you want and put them in OEM folder of kitchen
and it will work
This is a ROM kitchen. It requires some knowledge of what you're doing...
Built of the 21046 XIP/SYS with the latest 2.07 OEM (nothing from Topaz/Rhodium yet) it should work on all GSM diamond variants...
It uses bepes excellent platform rebuilder to build everything...
You need to use the "build_rom.bat" to create the ROM, and then you'll need a copy of HTCRT, yang or NBHUtil to create an NBH file from the os-new.nb file created in the root of the kitchen.
Enjoy, and if you release a ROM based off of this, please say!
It has a few minor tweaks from the stock SYS/XIP with some packages removed, and some exes UPXed for more space and faster load times...

Ah... I'll see if I can work out why... Might be my attempt to reduce the size of the os.nb.payload...
