hi there i have been interested in cooking myself a rom from scratch and was hoping one of the experienced rom cookers would explain what software they use to do it.
i have used rickys excalibur kitchen and dumped all the roms i have used, i have also removed and replaced software, rebuilt and then run the roms but i want to take that further.
i have used other software available in the windows modding section of xda, and through comparing 3vo, nrg and lovebabyjing's i have noticed that they seem to be built using different methods or using different software, so i am asking the cookers to reply with what software they use and the methods involved any help would be really appreciated.
thanks

Just a little bit of info needed as I am new to all this cooking ROMS.
I am using the Core Kitchen which I have found easy when extracting a ROM and I have been using the schaps ROM as it contats the RGU files with the packages as oppose to the Black Roms which dont and I am not confident enough to be able to sort out that mess yet.
The question is in two parts and I hope you can help me a little.
Part 1: when you extract the ROM what is contained in the OS.nb file the reas on I ask is I want to get a Basic from MS ROM so I can start with my own ROM building as oppose to someone elses (VERY GOOD I MIGHT ADD) ROM.
Part 2: where can I get the RTM M$ WM6 ROM from a rom without any modifications or any added packages just the M$ PDA/PHONE ROM.
Please help this is the only two bits that im really lost with.
I have a Vario 2 on T Mobile uk
you might want to look at the FTP for vanilla wm6 roms...
the last time i checked, it was still there.
I have seen the Vanilla ROM is that the M$ RTM base OS then ???
hey guys,
can you tell me what specs you enter into duttys tool as im having problems?
thanks in advance
PDAJAS

Not sure im new to all this myself as you can prob tell.
Vanilla ROM has too many missig files that I cannot even find according to the tutorial with CORE an official ROM wont have any missing files schaps only has 1 which i know where to find it so can put it in the right place.
It just seems easier to want to start with a RTM official M$ rom and build on it rather than hack bits out of an already cooked rom.
the FTP?
Where is this? (it's early for me, is it in the wiki?)

Its on the Wiki i looked at Cooked Roms on the main wiki page and then it gave me a list of them that were avaliable. Vanilla was on the top of the list.
Skauk,
you can also give a look at the Dopod ROM posted here in the forum... even that its not the newes build, it has nothing added/mising; it could be a good start point.
Regards;
thankyou I will give dopod a look tonight then its so anoying that you cannot get hold of the latest builds that some of these people have so we might start without the bugs of previous builds...
if anyone knows where I can get a later build RTM that's not cooked already you would be number 1 on my xmas card list lol.
Dopod ispretty hard to work out also so anyone else help me find latest build wm6 so i can build on it ??

I would suggest you spend a little time in the upgrading section. As far as a stock windows mobile 6 rom, the problem is there aren't any yet. Although I think some upgrades may be coming along in the next few months. The roms here are pieced together from other machines or pulled from unreleased versions. I don't know of a true "stock" hermes wm6 rom at this point. You could get a WM5 rom to practice with which would show you what to expect, and what "comes with" though.
Good luck,
I have a CDMA HTC phone, the HTC Mogul. Now that HTC has released the first official ROM for it, I'm looking to start making custom ROM's.
What ROM cooking application is the best currently available that will work for CDMA ROM's? The HTC TyTn/Hermes is the closet GSM phone to the CDMA Mogul/Titan.
Also, what is the best .cab editor out there? I remember a couple years I ago I had a neat little proggy that let me extract them, replace any files I wanted in them, and the it re-cab'd them for me. I can't remember what the heck it was though, lol!?
Thanks! I already read the Wiki and all I could find was something for making WM5 ROM's and another one for HTC Wallaby ROM's. I couldn't find anything for WM6 ROM cooking that I could see. Please enlighten me
EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm Windows only. I have no Linux/Unix machines available. So maybe I can't do the ROM stuff at all?
I have a T-Mobile MDA with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331411 and I like it alot.
Id like to know if I can flash my Herm with it and still have all the functionality.
No you can't. Different hardware require different software
Why would you want to do that. There are soo many different roms for the hermes. Alot of great ones I might add.
the functionality you speak of is all in the rom, find out what gives it that functionality and cook it into a hermes rom
i would strongly advise against flashing a wizard rom to a hermes, first of all theres different drivers and other dll's and registry settings that are specific to the thermes running which will not be in the wizard rom
happy cooking!
Call me stupid, but I have searched around ALOT on this forum for an answer to my question but have yet found any relevance to what I am looking for.
I want to start cooking my own Artemis ROM's. As far as I have read the easiest way is by using something called HyperCore kitchen. Now, I've started using this, but have found out afterwards that cooked ROM's available to download on here, cannot be extracted properly so as to be able to make one of them custom for what I want.
And as there is no official WM6.1 ROM for the Artemis, I am at a loss.
Basically, what I am asking to do, is to find out how to port a Kaiser WM6.1 official ROM so that it would be usable on the Artemis. Alternatively, perhaps find out what files are required from the Kaiser ROM to make the official WM6 Artemis ROM into WM6.1.
I hope I haven't confused you all. Any help would be greatly appreciated, maybe from bepe, tom_codon, Anja, NhatHoa? Any of you guys still about these days?
90 Views and nobody else knows anything?
This is starting to bug me now
I have looked everywhere. I have used the search, the wiki, google! I can't find any reference anywhere that explains to me how I can properly make a WM6.1 ROM for my Artemis using the required 6.1 files from a Diamond ROM.
HELP!!!!!!!
Start off with a base ROM first instead of porting. Porting can get very tricky and complicated. I'm currently in the attempt of porting a ROM (for the Hermes) and let me tell you, it's not easy. If you want to know more, i can show you what i'm doing via IM (faster) or here.
Hi guys,
Sorry for the cross post, but I figured this might get larger viewing.
I've been reading up for a few days on custom cooking ROMs. What I have is a problem - I have a chinese cloned phone (Sunno HDi) for which there is zero OEM ROM support. So I have to do my own investigation in custom cooking.
The base I start with is a ROM file in the format .img. Ok.. no problem. I can use osnbool to get .nb0 files, and then imgfs.bin and xip.bin, etc. But my main problem is that I don't know what kitchen I can use that will support this custom ROM. I noticed that there was some support here for Ciphone ROMs. Would it be out of place to ask what it would take to support another chinese phone ROM?
My main goal is to get some of the newer build features on to my phone. I already have build 23037, so I have a good feel of WM6.5.3. Just not the whole being a chef part.
Can this even be done with what I have?
I know the main forum is for HTC devices. But my question I suppose is for cooking a WM ROM. So any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone!
