cant post in the thread (less than 10 posts)
also can anyone tell me if this update would work with Cool3D AceS v2 as it was intended for Cool3D AceS v1 ?
thanks in advance

Just cook the addon (battery percentage, flip windows animation and ubuntu fonts) for cool aces v2 with out kitchen yourself.

You did not understand what I wrote, but you unterstand what was written in the first link you posted?
I assume you are a grown up person and so it should not be that hard for you to write something like "I do not understand what you wrote". This is a helpful post and not this **** you posted!
And only because YOU do not understand it, it does not mean nobody unterstands it. And if you would be able to use google, you could have unterstand very easy what I wrote:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=cook+uot+kitchen

thanks jessuey! from what you are saying you have to 'cook' a new ROM (from the existing zip ROM with the addons required) then re-flash the entire newly created rom?
Presumably theres no ad-hoc way to install addons after the ROM has been installed?
thanks again

it's not the rom it self that your cooking/creating in uot kitchen but rather only the add ons that you want to put in your phone eg: bat icon, fonts notifications icons and so on.

you know what matdroid its elitist star star stars like you that put people off from asking questions in the first place - there was noob in post title!!! I have had my bravo for what 1 week, rooted, flashed etc in 1 day. Try sharing knowledge as i now see what kitchen/cook means thanks to a HELPFUL post! you could have answered by saying simply google 'cook a desire rom' as there isnt a thread on here (even though there is) or posted your link to begin with! 'without a kitchen' in its literal sense make no sense at all!!!
most roms i have seen have addons mentioned (NOT updates) yet there is no guide on here about addons for noobs as far as i can see... try doing a forum search for addons and you would see what i mean.
in this instance there is a zip file attached that can be downloaded which i now can see is a UOT file...
Its allot of terms to understand...

I wrote "with out kitchen" and not "without kitchen". A small but very big difference! I really like to help people and xda is made for asking / helping.
But if someone answers my posts like you did, he/she should not wonder when the answer is written in the same style (what goes round, comes around).

Pre-root RUU?

I am working on my phone now to debrand it. Not a big problem. I was just looking for a new RUU where i can extract the rom files to install it with a goldcard...
and i wondered if it would be possible to pre root such an extracted ruu...

You can pre root an ruu. But then u can only install with custom recovery. And without s-off you can't flash a custom recovery. If u can signed a update.zip with a htc certificate, then all is possibel, but i thibk, that you can't

dude how did you debrand your phone? i tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142529 and it doesnt work..

You should be able to do this via an open source RUU installer
Your question indeed was interesting... Here's a couple open source RUU utilities I spied that may be of interest to you.
OpenRUU Here
or
HTCFlasher Here
I like your thinking... possibly opening the door to soft unlocking on the gsm side.

I'm almost certain anyone of those tools would work, the kicker would be making an .exe or .bat for everyone else that dont have a linux box to use(me included). Its a bit out of my range, but I would gladly try any method that someone else produces.
Also with the YANG tool we would not have to flash the entire ruu, we could just flash the edited .nbh. Thanks insink71, now we just have to find a gifted dev to get onboard.

Cygwin gives you a Linux environment adequate for these Linux tools for the phone under Windows. That will do the trick. No need for .exe's

How do devs create a "custom" rom?

How do you guys do it? it amazes me, Id like to try, Are there any guides anywhere? You guys here at xda do an amazing job.

Look in Chef Central. It's actually pretty simple using the android kitchen to make your own custom ROM the hardest part is getting everything setup to do it. Porting a ROM from another phone is another thing and there was a thread somewhere in here with step by step instructions on how to do it but I don't know where it is exactly. It has something to do with putting the Incredibles boot image into the other phones ROM. You would still need the kitchen setup to do a port so start there.

I KNOW THIS ISNT THE PLACE ... but

just thought it would be easier to get my answer by some good-sensed people unlike myself .......
ive noticed a lot of people made minor mistakes with programs/options/rooted ways and thought it was OK to go .... but caught themselves stuck at the samsung bootloader screen ... SO ... im asking politely ... because i installed a FONT that crashed my system ... im a [email protected]$$ .. i know ... would someone be willing to upload their "twrp backup" of their stock rom ... i installed a font and now my phone wont go past sammy .. already tried factory reset and wont work thru TWRP .. this might help others get their phone back to life also ...
thanks again if someone makes it possible to upload the file somewhere for us all
