hi, i would like to make my own rom but have no knowledge, i want to be able to edit what the task-bar and start menu etc... look like.
thank you.
My friend you will want to look and find some kitchen threads and learn basics from coocking roms. Then from there you can learn to Edit resources shellres.96.dll files and edit icons in them.. But please search and learn kitchens first.
Peace,
Josh

You need to utilize the search button above because we are not here to spoon feed you. Cooking a rom is not an easy task I recommend downloading an all in one kitchen such as pandora's and start there seeing you are a beginner. You have a lot to learn before you even attempt to cook a rom.

Start with Wizard Forum Kitchens, there is manuals out there that teach you how to cook your own package...
its all trial and error my friends...scary at first, but then you will get used to it..LOL
1) I have been examining various dumped roms and some OEMDrivers are seen as DLLs folder, whereas some Dlls are well...Dll file. How do you make the Dll file a folder?
2) can you completely remove the stock dialer and replace it with the kaiser dialer?
Answers to all your cooking questions
For all your cooking needs, check out this thread:
Mattk_r's Pandora's Kitchen
Once you go Pandora, you can't go back! (that is, until someone shows me otherwise )
Cheers!

yes, everything you need is in Pandora kitchen =) go and take a hammer and try different things out!
I personally prefer a chainsaw and a blowtorch , but that's just my "Quakie" side...
That being said, there's lots of rom kitchens out there, and they're all very good. Unfortunately, there's just so much to learn and only so much time.
Just read a bit here and there and pick one that suits your personality!
Have a great day!

Thanks
Thanks for the help guys.
I will read all your guys tutorials.
Well, I've seen many chefs who use this tool to install various programs. How can I utilize this tool? I have searched all over to no avail
I'm assuming you mean the User Configuration (UC) feature. If not, then I apologise. I did a search and found an old thread explaining it here.

Nah thats not it, but thanks for trying =P
What i'm looking for is how to use the customization tool that comes up after flashing a rom. In several roms after the first boot it will say Wait a few minutes for customization to complete or something like that. I'm looking for a tut explaining how to use this tool to cook certain programs into my rom without converting them into ext, Thanks for your help though Stevie.
ok, I thought that was it, UC can be used to run cabs and stuff. But sorry for my misunderstanding, hope you find it soon !

I'm not sure about your kitchen, but when I used the JoshKoss/TwoPumpChump Kaiser kitchen to cook ROMs, you would place all the applications in a special folder and create a text file called config.txt in that special folder pointing to the location of all your .cabs. You would then cook the ROM, and all the .cabs in that folder would end up in \Windows on the device after a flash. On first boot, it would install all of the .cabs you'd referenced in that file.
I would check in your kitchen's thread, as there will probably be questions from people like you. Try searching for config_operator.txt, config_PT.txt, or config_AP.txt in that kitchen's thread. Alternatively, you could very politely PM a ROM cooking veteran like NRGZ28 or joshkoss (or another chef) and ask how to do this. Sorry I couldn't be more specific to your, but hopefully that'll point you in the right direction.

Hello everyone. I'm beginning a ROM development, using "WM 6.5.5 Build 23563 - All Langs, All DPI, All Resolutions" sources. My phone is HTC Touch Diamond. I have read many tutorials, but i completly miss the part working on XIP.bin, OEM and ROM folders. My primarty question is, where to find them?
I know i can take the SYS folder from the source, depending on language and DPI/resolution, but i really can't figure out where to get those important files in OEM/ROM and XIP.bin.
Thanks for helping, really!
