[Release] [Kitchen] - SuperJustKitchen v0.9 - Engage! - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

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!!!

woah,look who have we got here
thanks ivan
sir,this one is HOT DAMN!

i tried to cook a rom several times and i got particular error every time:
access to the path
....\build\sys\base_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320\grass.jpg is denied
i tried to cook one with all sys packages and no ext packages and it didn't give me that error...
in my build i didn't include some "useless" packages and i added some of my own ext packages...which are correctly built out of sys packages and cabs (so i think it is not in the ext)
any help with this?
and one more thing...when you save a rom and try to open it...you get an error mentioning some value set to 0 or something like that

Save your ROM configuration and upload it here. I haven't had the error you are having.
Sounds like a permission error on your computer. Strange.

both errors seem to be caused by net framework...it doesn't just seem so it says it is net framework...guess it's me and my pc.
but i still can't figure out how i don't get the access denied error when i put no ext packages
and sorry for misleading you...i mixed oem and ext in my second post because i was dealing with some oems at the time
so i did some testing
sys----ext----tweaks----changed pp----managed to cook
1------0--------0-------------0-------------1
*------0--------0-------------0-------------1
*------1--------0-------------0-------------1
*------1--------0-------------1-------------1
*------1--------**------------1-------------1
*menas partial sys (without useless packages)
**goes for tweaks enabled but with read-only mark removed from files in source folder
i didn't mention oem since i used all oems in every build
and i figured out that those files provided in sources were read only so when you enable tweaks which delete content you get a permission error
is it possible to make the delete option so that it only doesn't include those files in the build instead of deleting them
and a technical question....do those files need to be read-only...does it matter if you remove the read-only mark

That is exactly what it's doing. It copies the files to a temporary folder first before it touches them.

It copies things with read-only because the files have to be read-only for the ROM. What exactly are you trying to delete? (Does the kitchen function as I released it before your modifications/you trying to delete files?)

To use it with the trinity, you'd have to port it yourself unless I get some time to port Trinity support into it.

I was able to create a Artemis ROM with your kitchen but unfortunatly the SD card is not visible. I know that extra drivers are necessary to support SDHC but I´ve the same problem with a normal SD card.
Do you have any idea?
Problem found, my SD card has been damaged.

Ivanmmj,
in your packages the applications for the camera and quickGPS are part of the EXT packages. Including this packages for cooking result in an error message that is it not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found.
Do you have any idea what´s wrong?

The site http://justkitchen.info seems to be down at the moment. Does anybody know of any alternate site from where we can download this ?

Bump. 0.9 Released.

ROMDonalds Kitchen v1.0 - The Educational Kitchen - UPDATED 01/08/07

FOREWORD:
I would like to keep this thread EXPLICITLY for people who want to learn how to MANUALLY cook and the questions surrounding the topic.
If you are a "GOD MODE" and you are more interested in insulting people for trying to learn DONT read this thread
n00bs DO YOUR RESEARCH!! - See links in my Signature and at the bottom of my second post
If you are answering a question PLEASE answer it fully and as simply as possible.
WELCOME TO ROMDonalds!!!!!!!!!
This kitchen is designed for those users, like me, who have been using their devices for a while and want to learn the methodologies behind hand cooking a ROM. By hand cooking I mean manually adding OEM software, adding CAB’s so they don’t have to be installed after flashing, hand editing registry hives and such like.
Don’t get me wrong GUI kitchens are excellent but, to fully understand the processes that go on behind cooking your own ROM,I feel that it should be done manually so you can see and hopefully understand what happens at each stage, so you could say that this is more of an educational kitchen.
.
.
How It Works
There are various stages to cooking a ROM, so when you run “ROMDonalds.exe” you will find a group of files, ordered by number, logically, you start at number 1, and follow the process through to completion.
After running “ROMDonalds.exe” you will find a new folder on your desktop called “ROM Donalds” this is your kitchen.
Inside each of these files are all the various pieces of software you will need to complete that particular stage of the process in addition to this there is an instruction manual that walks you through each step, with background information on what is happening not just the required steps.
.
.
The Kitchen Software
All of the software in this kitchen is available in other kitchens in various forms, some of the software has been slightly edited from original form but not by much, so I do not profess to having produced some revolutionary cooking software as it all currently exists.
The difference is that instead of having a folder full of tools with strange looking names, which would be intimidating and confusing to a new user, everything is sectioned out with instructions.
.
.
Thanks:
Special Thanks to Midget_1990 for helping with the software
Thanks to all those who originally designed the softwares used in this kitchen, namely:
Tadzio - for his tools
bepe - for his tools
the-equinoxe - Splash Screen Tools
dutty - NBH Tool
also thanks to anyone I forgot (sorry about that!)

2) This has been tested as much as possible on Vista and XP and fully works on both (for me!!)
3) Section in "How To Cook.pdf" on converting CAB to OEM needs refining, if you are new to this ignore the section and just use the OEM apps i have included until i make this section better
4) There is a folder in ROMDonalds called "09-AdvancedTools" . . some may asy why... the answer is that these "Advanced Tools" are the most useful ones i have found in my travels while creating this kitchen, I have not written about each one in the "How To Cook.pdf" but i may in the future. If you need help with these ask in the thread and i will update my first 2 posts accordingly.

hope you like it, it is really fast once you get used to it!!

First to say you thank you. I was waiting for this. Great work Man.

hi - I like the name , i too believe in alot of manual cooking because i feel its the best way to learn. I use most of your tools and also htc rom tool by dark simpson. I'll have a look at your animated startup screens - been looking for those.

well done mate you deserved it. although i busy with my new toy in my sig I will give your kitchen a try to see what i can dish up for myself.

You will find the kitchen very familiar, it has nothing you wont have used already!! (although you may want to look at the advanced tools folder!!)
i would really appreciate it if you could cook and follow my instructions just to see in there are any obvious mistakes (Other than spelling & grammar!!)
Thanks alot

Great work man... will give it a spin later. Thanks

Nice work mate
Cooking for the masses eh, do you have a "drive through"

benec,
The combined clean battery and 3G icon cab does not work. I get a message saying that i dont have permissions to install that cab.
Trying to overrite the dll file into window also has the same effect

This is great, easy to digest information, great work piecing all this together and writing the pdf.
One thing I must say is I very much do enjoy the use of the visual package selection method, manualley cooking in the cabs is great but being able to check a box next to what I want is always a plus.

I like GUI cooking too, please dnt think i am belitteling other Kitchen designers!
MY problem's with the GUI cooking method are:
1) YOU DONT LEARN ANYTHING - THE MOST IMPORTANT PART - THE IDEA OF THIS KITCHEN IS TO TEACH PEOPLE WHAT GOES ON WHEN COOKING
2) its lazy, as the install screen of ROMDonalds says "Getting Something Is Good, Doing It Yourself Is Better!!!" (im not saying its not a great idea that people can customise their own ROMs that fast, and have whatever they want included)
3) its hard to modify an already cooked rom (i.e. Black Satin on Pandora)
4) its not guaranteed to work, stupid errors thrown up with no option to fix
5) if you cant change the base ROM you are stuck with it, also what you think is a good base, someone else may say sucks and visa versa
6) there is way more OEM software about than CAB's so if you manually cook, you are not restricted by what is included int he kitchen
I created a kitchen like this so i could learn in the way I WANTED to learn, not with some of the hap-hazard instructions there are available.
I found that through using the instructions i have published i have learned alot about the stages of cooking, so now, when i look at other kitchens, and it tells me to "Dump Rom" or "extract XIP" etc, i know wats going on!!
(also when errors in the GUI kitchens come up, i have a MUCH better understanding of where and why the error has occured!!)
I hope people find it as usefull as i have!

I love this kitchen I have allready learned TONS from it, I am just saying it would be nice to be able to use this kitchen AND be able to use a GUI for adding more packages as well.
But I completly understand your thinking and I definently have allready learned alot!!!
And again I appreciate your taking the time to put this together with a great PDF walkthru.
I am also wondering if there is anyway to delete something from the windows dir after it has been copied elsewhere ? or if you can move files instead of copying them. I am looking to cooking in Opera and it requires a few files in a few diffrent dirs and I would hate to have copies of these files in the windows dir and the dirs they are suppost to be in.

you mean to create 1 folder called "Opera" and have all of the dir's and files for Opera inside that folder so you can drop it into the windows dir on a dumped ROM?
this can be done altho im not sure how, i want to include this into my instructions but as i said im not sure on how to go about it, JJ did it with some of the black ROMs, Satin definately.
only thing i can suggest is to dump SATIN and see how JJ did it!!
If you find anything please post it here so i can include it, and ill do the same.

Unable to find default.hv & user.hv in dump folder and a couple other questions
Hello Bennec83,
Thanks for the informative kitchen tools!! I am hoping to create a custom made ROM from these tools.
Question:
I have dumped the recently released Dopod ROM without difficulty and am now at the stage (stage C before C.1) of finding the two files in the dump folder: default.hv and user.hv ...I performed a search and then manually looked for the files without success. I have followed the format for dumping and I may be missing something but these files are not appearing...Any suggestions??
Also, if I wanted to delete say windows auto update or other folders in this ROM without creating a conflict, this dumping section would be the appropriate area, correct?? I guess this is the part where trial and error occurs...correct? I am trying to maximize storage space without conflicts.
Thanks so much for your time,
vjgrace

bennec83
GREAT work m8! Just read your cooking instructions and they are superb. I haven't tried the kitchen yet, but from what I read it is pretty straight forward and very well explained !
Thanks for creating this, I will test in the following days and let you know of my experience
Again, great work and keep us posted of any changes...

Twist in regards to cooking in opera - there is no way to delete the files after they are copied out of the rom. I know it seems wasteful but that is the way it is. Most cooks hence keep the inclusion of this type of app down to a minimum because of storage space. Would recommend compression of opera.exe to use less storage memory - and find the oem package so you can use the rgu and initflashfiles.txt from there to make life easier.

HI,
default.hv and user.hv are a pain in the arse to find, you need to change the folder options so you can "show hidden files and folders" AND uncheck "hide protected operating system files" (see screenshot)
then the next thing i do is order everything by type, then scroll down to "HV File" and you will find them both
with regards to your second question, this is about dumping and cooking a ROM.
a ROM is originally compiled from an operating system, to change features inside the OS you need to dump the ROM differently as this kitchen (at the moment) is only for adding and removing APPs and tweaks.
To do what you want you need to get the "SYS" "OEM" and "XIP" folders from your ROM, swap them into a different kitchen (one that allows you to run something called "BuildOS.exe" )
I will be releasing one here, but the first thing to do before you start messing with the OS of your phone, is to get used to doing the methods in this kitchen.
It is my Birthday today, so i cannot put together a "BuildOS" package and instructions today but I will, soon!!
hope this helps

[PRJ]Start Kit. Kitchen. Based at official stable release (479.3WWE). UC Ready.

Just start kit. For further cooking.
Based at official release (and stable, I hope,- don't like to be beta-tester for HTC "in the dark").
It's new way for me (just began to use WinMob by Diamond), so don't bite me too much
Don't forget about Hard-SPL!
Few cosmetic changes & a little tweaked. UC ready.
In OEM left TouchFlo only.
In SYS out: OneNote, PowerPoint, WindowsLive, Help & other rubbish.
In "Install" folder - example only. You can change it to your own provider (look to OEM\CONNECTIONSETUPDB - password I found at XDA) or just use ConnectionSetup.
The most tweaks - in OEM\xxxconfig
Be careful to finish.xml - it's important file!
(return to "Internal Storage". Manila start including in this file too. You can customise it up to you. Same as *.rgu in this folder)
To find the bugs&errors better together, I think
Ideas&remarks - welcome!
It's OPEN PROJECT.
Kitchen: http://rapidshare.com/files/143594363/WWE_1.93.479.3_kitchen.zip
Example ROM (with pass for provision.zip):
http://rapidshare.com/files/143600258/1.93.19965.Light.rar
For make the same - just press !COOK.CMD in the kitchen.
Lighted packages:
http://rapidshare.com/files/144298572/PACKAGE_Diamond_PhoneCanvas.RAR
http://rapidshare.com/files/144138802/PACKAGE_Diamond_QuickGPS.RAR
The trick - in change heavy bmp files to compressed/indexed png.
And patched dll/exe, for use another files.
Not sure about using system resources in this way - up to you. Try.
Changes: http://rapidshare.com/files/144298443/changes_to_kitchen.rar
(Corrected ROM container: 19965 now. Was 20273 - just mistake. And help engine)

can I just install your rom on my Diamond?
Would like to try it, but dont want to fool around with the Kichen stuff

Been reading much on cooking the last days. This looks like a good start!
Thanks for sharing. Hope I can create my own Diamond ROM from here. If it's good enough for some of my friends I will share it on XDA as well

Not see the reason - only base functions.

You are right, but it's the fastest ROM I've ever tried
But like you said, it's very basic. Camera is not working, so you need to add all these yourself.
Now watching the kitchen files.. .."WinRAR gives the following message: Invalid or corrupt authenticity information"
It does seem to extract just normal. Is the RAR file save?
update: You might even remove the Office part from the light ROM??

Its 7-Zip i think extracts ok

I will give this a try, other kitchens didn't work out for me very well.
Thanks man ...

Help system
I think idea to remove the help system absolutely is not the best.
Sometimes apps need it for normal work. May keep help engine alive?
Any opinions?

Please tell me one usefull hint that's provided to you because of the Help function?
For me it's wasted space on every device I've owned. If I encounter any problem they go beyond the help files

Looks pretty complicated with no real guide, will look into other kitchens!

I talk about engine (hwhelp) only. The most help files - "dead cargo", of course.
After try to push "help" button at some apps - error, could make system unstable.
P.S. made two "light" packages. ( see in the first post).
It use a little less memory, I hope.

Congratulations for this new project! If you need any help about a multilanguage (Italian) version... I'm ready!

I think, change the locale - it's only change the *.mui & may be other files in folders *_0409. Change to Italian locale - _0***, don't know exactly.
Could you try it?

Found the mistake - "alien" rom container (from 20273) in the kitchen.
Just accident.

Somebody can explain how to (EXACTLY! step by step) change OS, XIP, SYS in this kitchen? I've read a lot of tutorial but I didn't understand how...
In example, I've got:
1) this kitchen and this "base" rom
2) another diamond rom with 20748 xip build.
If I would to update OS, XIP and SYS to newer, what I have to do?!

You don't neet "base" rom (or what you mean?) it's example only.
If you talk about rom\os.nb in the kitchen - it's just container for rom, which is empty.

Just delete oem, rom, sys & make you own "tree"

Thanks for your very QUICK reply Modilv!
So, I have just to take the parts of (maybe more) diamond romS that I need (including OS.nb??) and put theme in your kitchen..?
So simple?!
PS: no "porting" xip or something like that?
TIA

It't not "my" kitchen (just add bepe's utility to final step)
I made the "tree" only.
You can do the same.

Problem: Re-cooking personal ROM (saving sounds and volume control)

I've been reading an gathering information for weeks now to build my own personal ROM. Since I'm unable (at the moment) to build one from scratch
Somehow it doesn't seem to work for me and I could not find an answer to my problems. I really hope some ROM Guru is willingly to help me out here.
I've used the Diamond Kitchen to extract the NBH files. And like it should it creates the OEM and SYS folders when you don't use protected ROM's like Dutty's, Swtos or Bepe's.
I've tried multiple ROM's to rebuild for my personal needs. And here are the most common problems I've encountered:
- Diamond (or Raphael) Volume Control does work. Even when it's included correct in the ROM. Reinstalling Volume Control after flasing using a CAB does work strange enough.
- The sound settings panel won't close after changing sounds.
ROM's I've tried to personalize:
- Panosha
- TOR (SubZero)
- SwiftBL
- VIC Lite
- And probably a few other ROM's I managed to extract (using the kitchen).
I've read some threads about the same problems but they seem to be part of a ROM thread instead of a specific "cooking thread". That's why I started it here.
Do you experience the same problems or do you have some good ideas than please let the rest of us know

I have the same problem
Everything seems OK, except the damned sound configuration.
If someone has an answer, we would appreciate it very much.
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for you reaction. Concerning the Volume Control, there is a way to get this to work. Just add a CAB that you call using the config.txt.
It's not ideal but it should work.
Unfortunately this procedure can't be repeated for the sound setting panel

I played with it a lot and even if I do nothing with the ROM, this sound config problem occurs. I extract the ROM and then rebuild it without modifying anything. This looks like a kitchen problem I thought.
I use Surface Kitchen v1.01. You another one, so this is a little confusing
Edit:
Maybe we can do the same without using those settings but direct in the registry?
Someone knows those keys?

Been using Kitchen 1.0.1 for a couple of days now as well. Updated the programs that were out of date. Did not help.

I also get always this error, could it be the cause?

Well, most of the times this fault is there, its a mistake with your new or edited rgu file like \\ or forgotten empty last row.

I recommend you guys try cooking the 1.93 official ROM .., i cooked a personal one for me .. no problems at all

this error is because you also have xip directory already listed in ur kitchen, so when the operation reaches that part of extracting the xip it dumps the xip and .dsm a.rgus, so basically a duplicate I dont use this kitchen but you can always press y to overite all

- The sound settings panel won't close after changing sounds.

Try adding this one to your registery:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\LSOMACORE]
"Dll"="LsOmaCore.dll"
"Prefix"="DRM"
"Index"=dword:00000001
reset and you will be able to change the ringtone/press ok on your sound settings
To make it work while cooking, just place this in a RGU file so it will be implemented in the ROM

Thanks will try that one as soon as I can.
Had one crazy thought. Since there are some replies from some real cookers here I was wondering about the next thing.
At the moment I always select option "1" in my kitchen. So I don't rebuild it (option "2"). It shouldn't but is it possible to have more success when using option "2"?

I tried all variants....
select 1 (yes) -> Access denied
select 2 (no) -> the message will appear for a lot of files... even when you always select 2 the ringtone panel won´t work
select 3 (all) -> access denied
So IMO it has no impact, which option you take...

I choose "1". I just want to cook the ROM.

Ah.. now I understand what you mean... the question at the beginning...
of course you have to select "1"...
I talked about the overwriting question (screenshots in post before)

First of all: thanks for this thread...I was going crazy with this issue..!
Has anyone tryied the reg.key posted before?
PS: @maccune...did you tryied to recook swiftbl?! How?! Is it not a protected rom??

Might be wrong about SwiftBL. Tried so many that I could be mixing them up
Tried so many because I hoped there would be one that would work just fine.
If it was up to me I'd use TOR v5 since it's basic and still a Diamond build.
Also the cooker told he didn't mind if people would use his ROM as a base ROM for your kitchen
