[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hello Guys n Gals!

Its not a very long time since we have been on this forum but despite of this fact, the experience has been terrific for all of us i think. Over the past few months, We have shared a lot of information and content in this gene forum which was otherwise almost going dead. Its great to see so many chefs coming up these days, almost everybody seems to be customizing his/her own roms. These new changes in the forum users made me think about sharing content on the forum in a different, more optimal way.

So here i am, with my Visual Kitchen. Visual kitchen, as most of us know, is a combined effort of 2 great forum members Ervius and Bepe. It is the most easy, well organized and the only multi device, visual kitchen available as of now. Sometime before, our good friend Besfen and Ankit360 worked on it and made it work for Gene. Besfen also posted a great tutorial to use it full of pictures and all. As for me, i took all the packages that i have customized, debugged and maintained over time and organized them properly into the kitchen. I used all the information posted by dear Besfen and made the kitchen such that you guys dont have to do much of this work again.

So from now on, you will download this kitchen and all the packages only once, and i will post updates fully customized for this kitchen. YOu will just have to download the updated stuff only and not the whole heavy duty kitchen. This way, it will be easier for you to download and at the same time, easier for me to upload. Also, this one kitchen will work for both Old and New Gene, for both WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 :)

Necessary details about using the kitchen are in the following posts, read these carefully. If you want to go more indepth, read Besfen's thread, here:
