OK, here we go.

• "All Contacts" crashing manila? Make sure you have Contact_Utility_Engine_1_1_1920 enabled, also along same lines these are required: FacebookEngine_1_1_1920 ; NewContactCard_1919 or 1920 ; and well, actually most of the items under the "Required for Sense 2.5" category :p

• About the theme mishap: I changed the name of one of the main themes in the kitchen to zzzzClassic_Black_Theme and didnt remember to re-enable and save it to the preset ROM files. You should a) include theis theme, or b)copy "defaultblack_softkeybar.jpg" from that package into the "Carbon" theme package (DO NOT DISABLE CARBON THEME WITHOUT FIRST EDITING config.txt file IN OEM\0409\Operator_Package). I suggest just enabling the ClassicBlack theme and saving the ROM preset until I can get some time to update the kitchen files. This is a theme that I include in every build, just forgot to re-enable it after the name change.

• It appears that one or more of the files in the EXT package on mediafire are corrupt. I heard that the direct link for llamalord downloads was working, but not confirmed. This would explain you WinLive error and possibly your problem with Opera (are you talkking Opera 10?).

While in kitchen environment right click on the package in question>open package folder>and then edit the app.dat file to reflect your change. You will also need to edit the app.reg file in order to keep the custom icon. Some programs (very few, but some) rely on provxml file found in Chrome_Custom_SYS_Files folder.

This is for start menu icons.

This is included in kitchen. Either use the "Convert Cabs to EXT" link and place the cab in that folder, or you can also navigate to that folder from Kitchen\MyTools\Package_Tools\CAB_2_Kitchen. Remember that the cab title should not contain spaces, CAB2OEM doesnt approve I suppose.

Best way to add a package is to open the kitchen, load ROM, scroll to the category you want it in, right click on any package there, choose "Import package", and select the package folder. ie if the package is named "Some_Package" and located on C:, then you would navigate there and choose the main folder(not the "Files" or "0409" folder). Adding packages manually is also possible by placing it in Kitchen\EXT\Shared\xxx_Final_Overrides. I only give xxxFinal_Overrides as an example folder. You can make your own category and place the package in there as well.

Sorry I have not been able to keep a constant eye on the thread. I have taken on a huge job at work and have been working 10 hour days with an hour drive to and from work :(

Hilaireg, I really appreciate any help you have provided and continue to provide. I know my kitchen is nothing compared to the great 6.1 kitchens you have been organizing for a while. I am hoping to do some more shifting of things and also separate it a bit so ppl dont need 1GB just to cook a simple ROM. Maybe will break the SYS files out into separated downloads and add a selection of .erv files to one of the first posts. All just hopeful thinking for now, but sounds good anyway LOL

And yes, most packages have been a) recmodded, b) image files compressed(noticed mostly in the dialers size difference compared to uncompressed package), and c) UPX compressed where recmodding was not an option. OEM has been Nue SpinLock Patched and recmodded.

Endo:

Which items can be removed...hmm...really depends on what items you are including. Certain things will require that other packages be included. If I get a chance I will try to elaborate on these items more in one of the first posts. My first priority will be fixing the minor theme issue, doublecheck EXT files for MediaFire mirror, and then a kitchen update with some more organizing. I cant see myself getting time to do this until at least this weekend, but as soon as I am able I will update. Remember that this is my first kitchen release and it is still in progress.
