Oem_lang_xxxx

Hi mates!

First of all, Merry Chritsmas to everyone!

My question is quite simple:

I would like to build my own Italian rom for a device (Acer E200) that is not shipped with an Italian ROM.

I can get a usable .nb file and can import it into oskitchen, It well recognizes win mobile build and oem packages.

No difficulties in getting an italian version of windows mobile but I know it's not enough: I need OEM_LANG_0410 packages.Since, as said before, no italian roms are available for my device, I have no idea on how to translate my ROM.

Moreover, original OEM_LANG_040C folder contains two packages with 040C signature in addition to the initflash.dat and others minor files.

Will the manual translation of initflash.dat work?

Does anybody have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance to all!
[Windows Mobile] bb82:
Another little question (hoping in someone helping me :D)

I have a .nb file, import it into osKitchen and repalce nk.exe with the Blackstone's one, since nb file comes from an unsupported device (Acer E200), start the ROM generation process without changing anything and get final and new .nb image without errors.

Now, the problem is that the final dimension in kB is quite different compared to the original!!!

I tried all type of compression, but no luck...

A final detail: setting "no compression" and looking into OS temporary generation folder during building process, I see that a .nb with the exact dimension of the original is built, then it's replaced by a .payload file with the same, "exact", dimension and, finally, the nb file into output folder is different!!!

Is there any explaination of this?

Thanks in advance to everybody!

[Windows Mobile] bb82:
Are you speaking about the problem of the dimension of the .nb file?
[Windows Mobile] Mr.zeus:

.cab file for fathom

Has anyone tried cooking for the LG Fathom?

It comes as a .cab file.

WinRAR shows a ~ 150MB .wdb file that apens as a text file.

I have tried to rename it to .bin and use it the 6.5.3 emulator, but it's not that easy.

If any one has seen a Fathom custom rom around, please pm me.

I have searched for this a gerat deal, and found very little.

osKitchen has been working smooth for my i910.

Thanks to all who have helped.

[Windows Mobile] bb82:
Hi all!

I'm studying very hard the "art" of ROM cooking, but still need some clarification:

my device is not supported by Oskitchen Zero, so first of all I have to use a nk.exe that platformrebuilder can handle, and then I think I have to build "my own crafted xip.bin", since the kitchen probably (am I wrong?) can't do it.

So, can somebody suggest a guideline or "how to" properly build the xip.bin?

Thanks!

Free device memory not change?

I can say OsKitchen is so straight forward to use!

I import a WWE europe rom (downloaded rom HTC) and remove all the EXTs and some useless SYS packages (suggested by the kitchen). The built ROM is just 40 M and runs perfectly (of course some functions such as camera don't work but I don't care).

the problem is the free memory (in rom) remains the same 87.56 M, no matter how many apps removed.

I found this, but it not clear enough to apply.

any idea will be appreciated :)

Solution:

- download and place implantXIP and MGFSTtoNB tools in /resources/tools

- check option "IMGFSTtoNB / implantXIP ..." and "Complete remove..." in "Advanced tweaks"/"OS section" (Run as admin in win7 required)

Re

Hi vasujahagirdar, by the looks of it you have compressed the png's, this seems to happen on (some) images. Just recook and disable compress png's and it should be fine.

EDIT: the other thing you can do is in the kitchen go to settings and use the options to pause the rom building after the files have been copied to the temp folder. Open the temp folder and replace the softkeybar image with a copy then continue to build.

Has anyone successfully cooked a ROM that flashes to the Trinity P3600 from this Kitchen? If so, can you share your secret? ;) I'm trying to move all my kitchens from EVK to this one. ATT Tilt and HD2 work just fine, but not the Trinity.

Thank you! SuperSport

EDIT - More info:

After deleting all the _skip and imageinfo.txt files and then fixing any UNICODE errors on dat files, the kitchen cooks just fine. It produces an NBH that seems to be the right file size, but when I try to flash it, the flash stops at 0% stating Error 262. I do all the recover, etc, but it does the same thing no matter what method I try to flash the file. I normally start a flash from BootLoader mode, just to prevent most errors. This is by dumping a Stock WM6.0 ROM and everything seems to be fine.

Help a newby

Hi all...

I'm a newby, and were trying to cook with ervius to mu topaz, but had a problem deleting copilot package, and discover this kitchen, that looks incredible.

But...

When i coock, all seems to be ok, flash...and:

1- sense cant open, only displays message: tap here to start htc sense

2- some pockets i put in ext folder to try (torch i.e.) appears, but when i execute it : "...can't open torch, or is not signed...." so...i suppose the problem is how to include non signed apps...

Could anyone help a newby please???

Thanks and great job

Got it working, thank you anyways.

I just got it to work, but thank you anyways. By skimming through all 257 Million posts in this thread, I was able to find THIS ONE by gruptnt that got me there. Thank you gruptnt, and thank you airxtreme for this Incredible Kitchen. I've built many hundreds of ROMs from it and they work great!
[Windows Mobile] secc123:
Hey snakesanti, You didn't mention which version of sense/Wm you are cooking. Check you have Starticonloader in the right place in your kitchen, i had a similar thing with 2019 and when i moved the starticonloader package to my EXTCommon folder it worked (in the 2019 manila i downloaded, starticonloader was in the wrong dir).

As for the signed apps, there is a setting in the kitchen that does this - make sure you enable it. There is also an EXT package that sets the registry to allow unsigned apps, if you get stuck then PM me.

[Windows Mobile] snakesanti:
Hi again, and thank a lot for the answer.

I've part from the last official topaz rom, then tried to port to 21901, delete onenote, messenger, copilot...and put XDA_Uc.

Starticonloader is active here: C:\osKitchenZerov1.33.5\Sources\Devices\HTC Topaz\EXT Packages\HTC Topaz Packages

Isn't right place?

The signed apps...i can't see that setting anywere
[Windows Mobile] vasujahagirdar:
hi,

Thank you very much.i was struggling to correct it since many days without success
[Windows Mobile] secc123:
Hi vasujahagirdar, your very welcome. I don't know why the compress seems to mess up the softkeybar image, it may affect others too but the softkeybar is the only one i have noticed myself when cooking.

what i do know is have a copy of my softkeybar image copied to my XDA_UC which replaces the corrupted one after i flash!

Hi I'm a huge noob in this and I've been reading and re-reading the tutorials and i keep getting this message.

Can anyone please help me out? i want to cook a ROM for my HD2 to get rid of some of the things the one i have now.
[Windows Mobile] snakesanti:
Hi, i'm as noob as you, but i think can answer you...

You are triyng to dump a protected rom (a coocked one, i suppose). Try to dum an official one, and i'm sure that msg will not appear again.
[Windows Mobile] ccbm3:
Thanks for the help it work like a charm. Do you know if its possible to cook a ROM that has already been cooked any further? So that i can remove specific Items i dont need?
[Windows Mobile] RoryB:
You would need a copy of the chef's kitchen so you can select what you want to cook in.
[Windows Mobile] secc123:
Re:

Hi ccbm3, Firstly a lot of chefs are very protective of their work and protect their ROMs from being dumped anyway, they spend a lot of time working on their ROMs and even if its not protected most kitchens will not dump them correctly anyway. I think its considered 'bad form' to use another chefs ROM as your base in the community.

Its relatively easy to set up your kitchen with apps you want and add new WM builds to it, the work comes with all the tweaking......thats the bit that wrecks your head LOL!

[Windows Mobile] ccbm3:
Ah ok, Thanks. I wasn't trying to publish the build i only wanted to make my own ROM. now im stuck trying to put the theme i want. I want http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728408 as my theme but I just want to make sure. Do i just cook the cab into it or how do i cook it?

Thanks for your help :D
[Windows Mobile] cac2us:
Importing a cab file

If just running the cab file on the unit does not aply the theme,

then you may need the "SDKCERTS.CAB" file to make it work. (Run it first, then soft reset, then run the cab.)

Once you confirm the successfull installation, then copy the .cab (or .cabs) to a folder like My Documents\CAB Files.

Then run the kitchen, click on "Import", "Import a new EXT Package", select radio button "CAB Installer file.....", Brows to the file, select the Device and Group you are cooking for Then give it a name.

I use a copy so the cab is allways around...

But if your kitchen does not have the dump from the OEM update:

(SCH-i910_User_upgrade_tool_v2.0.0.5.exe) for my i910, then you won't get far.

As far as programs that you don't use/need, It's like me with my fathom.

You can only search the device (I use "FdcSoft_TaskMgrv3.3_WM6.5.cab" = FREE),

and find the files that relate to that app, as well as the registry values to "adjust". (TotalCommander2.52b3 = FREE).

Just be carefull that some of the changes in the reg settings may not get fixed from hard reset or re-flash...

I use SKTools (Really cheap for what it does) to back the reg settings.

Untill someone finds a way to crack into those .wdb files and create the addon for a kitchen or two, this will have todo.

ENJOY...

First Time Rom Cooking

Hello Friends...

I am cooking my ROM First Time and using osKitchen for this :)

Here is what I did...

Please review and let me know if I am wrong in any places so that it can help me to NOT BREAK THE Device after I install :).

Also some questions/confusions in RED Color. Please Guide.

Phase-I

1. Extracted the source of osKItchen (osKitchen Zero v1.33.5.zip)

2. Executed the osKitchen.exe

3. Selected my Device (Topaz) and Rom file (RUU_Topaz_S2_hTC_Asia_India_de3G_WWE_2.54.1300.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44c.25.33_2.49.25.204_ESM7206A_Ship.exe)

4. Selected YES for the autoconfiguration and the UI comes up.

5. Project Settings:

Left the ROM Version 1.00 (dont know where this will be used)

Changed the Compresion to LZX (dont know why ?)

6. SYS Packages:

Delete Package: Office Mobile, OneNote Mobile, Auto Update, Sample Music

7. OEM Packages:

No Changes.

8. EXT Packages:

I had Issue detected for: Discretix DRM v1.0.200xxxx : Dont know why?

Deleted: Facebook 1.1, Manila Stock, MS Facebook 1.0, Opera Browser 9.7

9. Advanced Tweek:

Pagepool = 18MB

Now Done a Start Build to TEST and it build and I see the ROM (RUU_Signed_0409.nbh) in output folder.

I am NOT SURE If This HAS Radio ROM Inbuilt or NOT?

Phase II:

Now I wanted to Add My OWN Stuff:

1) .NET FW 3.5, Office 2010, Opera 10, Google Maps

2) Some Registry Tweeks like WiFi OnDemand, Auto call Record Option etc.

3) Rebuild ROM

So for that I selected:

Import -> Import a New EXT Package and selected the .NET FW 3.5 CAB

Destination Device = Topaz,

Group: Selected the Default (HTC Topaz Packages)

Name: Given Name as: .NET Compact Framework 3.5

Clicked on Convert.

And I Can See the Cab Imported and listed in EXT Packages.

So Now Where Shall I do the Registry Tweeks?

Phase III:

Now I Want to Get a NEW SYS of Build: 29007 + Manila Latest 2.5.x

I downloaded the New SYS file: 29007_XIP_HVGA_QVGA_VGA_WWQVGA_WWVGA_0409.7z

Extracted the zip file to a Folder.

Now how should I Import the New Sys?

If I do Import -> Import a Windows Mobile Build and selected the extracted folder.

Now what is the Type I need to select? (First 3 Option does not work and looks like the Unknow is working)

Is that right?

And How Do I make sure the New SYS is integrated in the Build?

The Windows Mobile Build Number did not show anything even if the AutoDetect is selected.

Next Where Do I get Latest Manila file that I Can integreate and How Do I do that?

Thanks

How do I change the skin of the soft buttons and for the notification bar? Ive tested my initial build but I want to change it.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
Yes, it uses the radio that was imported together with your ROM. And if it doesn't, your radio is just not flashed ;) Don't worry about flashing a ROM made with osKitchen.

Simple, just make a new package. To do that, create a new folder in Windows Explorer at the right place. Then in that folder, make a app.reg file. In that app.reg file, you type all reg tweaks you want to do.

Those are now a package, so included. Just check that all of your packages have priority over your reg-tweak package. Then your tweaks are done at the end.

Phase III:

Now I Want to Get a NEW SYS of Build: 29007 + Manila Latest 2.5.x

I do it manually, by copying all folders one by one. This can be very interesting if you want to know how the kitchen works.

If you don't get any errors, that should be all right. But don't forget to chose the correct build in the first tab ;)

Just select the right build number in the first tab ;) Then it should be all right if you build the ROM and flash it.

Just type it in yourself? :)

Simple, download the packages, and add them by creating folders in Windows Explorer. Then refresh your list in the kitchen. Deselect the old packages, and select the new ones. If there are errors, just report :D

Hope this helped you a little bit.
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
Yes the Original Stock ROM has Radio. So if that was imported can I see that in kitchen so that I may have to remove that or change?

Do I need to create in my PC's Windows Folder or where in the kitchen structure?

I think may be inside the EXT folder?

Could not get you friend :(. can you please help me here?

It imported correctly but in the first TAB now I have an extra version "0". While that should be "29007" :).
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
You cannot remove your radio, but however, you can change your radio if you want to. In the Advanced Tweaks tab, you can select a new radio. If you leave the field empty, the stock radio will be included, OR radio won't be flashed. (Don't know what one of the 2 happens, but in the end that doesn't matter).

Search for the kitchen structure (very interesting to know how the kitchen works). Indeed, in the EXT folder you have a folder named "HTC Topaz packages" or something like that. There are all your EXT-packages. But, you can also create a folder in the EXT folder "My Tweaks and Packages" and then in osKitchen you'll have 2 groups.

If you make a package with your tweaks, it will be visible as a check box in the kitchen. Afther that, you should go over each package you have to set that each package has priority over your tweaking package.

Renaming the folder can fix this ;)
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
I have renamed the folder and and it get reflected :).

Where do I get Latest Manila for Topaz/TD2 and how can I integrate that?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] _Madmatt:
You can search for the latest packages here on the forums. Just make sure you have VGA (I think TD2 is VGA) ones! Otherwise they will look ugly and unscaled. How to integrate? Should be simple ;) Unpack the zip file and put the packages in the EXT folder (maybe in another group called "Manila").

Good luck!
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
I tried to search but I get only VGA editions of Manila, while TD2 is WVGA :).

So looking for if some one can share?

Thanks.

After I import New SYS (29007) I got folder Name as "0" and there was no issue during import. And as per above suggestion I renamed the folder to 29007 so that that will be reflected in Kitchen UI and that did reflected in UI.

But after I install the ROM the Device show version as: CE OS 5.2.0 (Build 0.5.3.9). This shows ZERO as Build Number :(. How to fix this.

Note: I have selected the renamed folder number (29007) as the build in UI.

I have just downloaded the RUU_Oboe_Dopod_CHS_1.08.706.1_Radio_1.01.00.0916_Ship.exe stock ROM. Is this what you are pointing?

Also Additional Issues after I create my ROM:

- Build Number comes as "0" [So I get like: CE OS 5.2.0 (Build 0.5.3.9)]

- The build left the OLD Office Mobile folder empty (even if I have removed office 6.1 and OneNote 6.1). Mean the folder was not removed, but there was no containt.

- Phone dialer:

- keyboard On/Off image is ugly. This overwrite the left and right soft keys

- Scrolebar comes and hide some stuff at right side of dialer

- Font was not good in dialer

Also the registry changes were NOT applied.

Thanks.

Hello to everyone,

It's a wail now that I use OsKitchen to be able to extract the packaging from the Rom, till now I didn't take time to build my own a ROM.

But, now it change. I will try to make my own ROM. :D

But I need some help.

First of all I have read carefully all informations/instructions mention on the first page, also I have deactivate my Antivirus software temporary when I was using OsKitchen, And I have follow the instructions.

Importing the Rom works well (This I have used a wail now)

But at the moment when I will build a Rom, I have a problem. Error Runtime!

I have bean looking everywhere to find a solution, but till know I didn't find a solution.

If I take a look into the log file, I must say, all works well, till Platformrebuilder needs to work; at this point I received the Runtime error (like you can see on the picture).

If I look into the log file, everything is normal till Platformrebuilder.

Copying the 'OEMXIPKernel' OEMXIPKernel package...
*Cleaning Windows Mobile Kernel Package...*
*Applying Advanced Tweaks...*
*Running Platformrebuilder...*

First I thought I have done something wrong when I have create some packaging, so I have done a simply test, I have take a stock Rom, I imported it into OsKitchen (for extraction) ons it was bean done, I started building the ROM without any changes but unfortunately I get the same Runtime Error. :(:o

Is there someone who is able to help me out?

Thanks in advance.

I will give this a try, but it's very strange to see that I even have this error on a fresh stock Rom (= stock Rom extract by OsKitchen without I have done some changes) May I ask you witch rom building app you use?

I use this one. I think it has to do with what the manufacturer uses to build ROMs versus us.

Some Basic Questions

I am new to osKitchen as well as Cooking ROM.

1) Is there a way where the "New Imported EXT Package" to the ROM will be listed in the Remove Program after installing the ROM? How to achieve this?

Ex: Say I am adding a new cab/EXT package /Game. So I want this to appear in Remove program.

2) How to Convert to Sys Packages?

Ex: Inside Sys Packages we have an option "convert to EXT" where I think the selected Sys package will be converted to EXT, So Like that do we have any option for EXT Packages where that will become SYS.

Like If I will remove .NET FW from SYS and Create/Import a NEW EXT for .NET FW 3.5 and I want that to be a SYS.

3) How to update a package?

Ex: Say my Topaz ROM has FM Radio v1.7.19181421.02 and I want to update that to FM_Radio_2_5_20193218_00. What is the best way?

4) How to Update the Manila? Like Manila Core and Home etc?

Thanks.

Hi, i'm interested in that too.

Also, i'm having some troubles coocking:

1: Rom version in RUU doesn't change. I've modified S00 hith hex editor, and red letter have changed fine, but i want in RUU to be changed too.

2: I've disabled onenote, and word did't work (excel works fine)

3: I've selected in kitchen to delete all images and ringtones, but they're still tehere, and i'l like to add mine instead.

4: I'd like to empty wheather locations so everyone put itself one.

I think theres more things but it's fine for the moment.

Thanks a lot you're great
