Useful notes:

How to add a cab file as a package in your build!

First make sure you have the files you need with a .cab extension. This is the easiest way to do this. Drop the files into a location eg desktop.

.Open osKitchen go to Import

.Select button for cab installer file

.Press Browse and select the .cab file from the desktop

.Under Device Drop down select HTC Leo

.Uder Group select an existing group eg 04 Software, or if you want to create your own group type in the name here

.Under Name type in what you want to call Ext package

.Press Convert

You will then see a window with Operation completed press Ok

Close the windows and go into Ext packages and select the newly installed package!

Wonderful, thank you so much for this release. I'll get cracking on adding the things i wanted to this build and let you know how i get along. Do you want a copy of the updated Copilot cab to add to your builds?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Just in case

@GhostXSeries : Sent you PM on robotic voice.

Btw why are you on such old build for WM 6.5 ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I wanted to give the option of upgrading the orgional builds so chiefs can have a choice. It was purely an exercise for me to see if it could be upgraded to the 576mb with office 2010 and .net etc.

I also had the phone on stand by with hspda last night and if my battery is right it dropped about 4 percent!!!!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
576mb android compatable kitchen now available for download :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thanharts:
Thank you very much but now I still cant test your ROM :( Your link is very slow :((

Please upload on megaupload.com, hotfile.com, mediafire.com, multiupload.com,...

Thanks :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Sorry I am only going to be storing the images on VBN from now on. It is too much work to upload to multiple sites.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gaiden0000:
Downloading the Android compatible rom now, looking forward to finally having a nice, close to stock Rom that works smooth.

Keep up the great work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I am currently working on a sense 2018 version that is also Android compatable. :) This will be up in the next couple of days. I have got sense working on the build I am just simply trying to modify the base build to tweak it a bit. I will hopefully have a mixture of tmobile 2.10, 2.14 and leo 1.66 :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Kitchen build has now got Sense 2018! As far as I can tell this is the first Kitchen to be released with Sense 2018 included :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bright.Light:
Hmm.. tried your kitchen, but (knowing not much about kitchens...) tried to find a project file (.kxml file) to load, but can't find it.

Can it be you missed that one? Or do I have to set up my own?

(e.g. an example ROM would be great)

One question: When the ROM is very small (eg. removed Windows Live and Office) will the memory for data storage be any larger?

one more.. Some imageinfo.bin files are read only. This gives an error when building (because the file cannot be overwritten) Is this ok or an error?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
It is very easy to built your own project files. Simply select the operating system on the first screen eg os 21869 (WM 6.5) or 23569 (WM 6.5.5) then when you go into the ext packages screen simply select the packages for the operating system eg:

If you select 21869 then select

01 HTC Packages - This is the list of the main packages

02 Sense 2018 fixes if you want to remove the rss feader,

03 23569 fixes - Do not select this - only use this for OS 23569

04 Tweaks - You can select what you want from this

05 Software - You can add what you want into this folder extra programs etc

If you select the 23569 OS remember to go into Sys Packages and select everything for beginers, and select 03 23569 fixes. This folder updates things like the dial pad and the keyboard etc.

I simply tried to keep the Kitchen rar file as small as possible!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
For the read only error, simply right click on the osKitchen folder, go to properties and uncheck an read only check boxes! Sorry about that I kinda forgot the check the permissions on the folder before I uploaded it :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bright.Light:
Already did - thanks.

I want to remove Sense altogether, also I don't use Office (using a better office suite)

Is it also UC capable? (And, could you please answer my question about the memory gain when the ROM has less packages in it?)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Memory will be better the less packages you remove. If you dont want sense, you can simply de-select all the manila packages and the start icon loader package as well. It is not currently UC compatable, I have not done much work with this yet, but you should be able to download the cab files and add them in to the package.

What other versions of office are you using?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gaiden0000:
Just wanted to write back to say that I've been cooking away using your kitchen build and it's got to be one of the best one's I've used. I'm so close to perfecting my own Rom and it's all thanks to you.

Have you tried including the Chainfire 3D drivers? When I've tried it's not gone right (this isn't a problem with your kitchen, as i think it's an issue with OSkitchen and the 3D drivers from what i've been reading). Thanks again for this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
New version guys! Fixed office and other short cuts!

so I succeeded today to cast my modified rom again and it happened to you last time, little memory .... so I tried what he did and I tried HSPL4 and go to 3.03 ... memory is increased, but it does NEMA 512 megabytes .... not tested, the only problem I had, so it was setting the city through the hours and thus the time update ... I had to go through the weather to cast the city and so had time to adjust ..... otherwise it is not, because unless I use Slovak localization, so it does not work otherwise
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alijani:
thank you for your great works.

I wanted to remove some app in order to free some memory but after I did that the start menu icons get out of order and icons of start menu folders are gone like the screen shot below.Do you know where the problem is?

and here is my project save:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] karamat.hussain@blueyonde:
kitchen does not work for me

I have HSPL4 - hspl 3.03

I can load and run artemis roms / other cooked roms perfectly.

I tried the basic kitchen

-removed copilot - added few apps(tom tom 7, coreplayer, myplayer, panoramic converter) which seemed to work ok albeit very slow response from phone

BUT I had a blank home screen without any sense or start menu icons

I aslo tried the advanced kitchen with identical results as above

I tried importing official rom for tmobile uk model and built a rom as above.

This was even worse as the HD2 froze after the windows auto configuration screen - I had to re-install my normal Artemis rom via the SD card to get the phone up and running again

What am I doing Wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] palokm:
google translator

I have a feeling that the idea of cooking rom was good, but we lack an explanation of the procedure, as we continue .... I do not know what is important and what is not ..... if I knew how to do it, I would have to others have done about as guidance on where I should everything red indicates what must remain in operation rom in basic form with Sense and what can be removed and what not ... or at least do what the txt must remain, just to compare
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
If you are new to cooking roms, have a look at my basic rom thread. This is more for advanced users. The basic kitchen I provide is much easier to use. The link for the basic kitchen is in my sig below.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
In this version of oskitchen I include 2 versions of sense for you to use. Select either 02 Sense 2018 for the more stable version or 03 Sense 2021 newer but expermintal.

You then have to go in and select the start menu icons you want. They will not load by default. To do this select 06 Start menu folders and then in 07 Start menu icons select the ones you want.

If you go to Open project you can find two pre-defined buidls, a 6.5 (start menu at top) or 6.5.5 (start menu at bottom) This will help show you what you need to make a rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] karamat.hussain@blueyonde:
kitchen does not work for me

I tried selecting both sense versions (not together, obviously).

I only get the "start" icon on the home screen, either bottom or top of screen corner depending on the rom version. the rest of the screen is blank. i.e no sense or slider icons.

The start icon takes me to the second screen which is populated by the appropriate programs, settings, etc icons.

I think there should be a basic sequential step by step guide although I do understand that this is a very simple kitchen with nil knowledge needed.

For example what is Recmod column for?

In the first post in red text you say "untick the tabs you want to keep" but when you untick all tabs to keep all the tabs, the sense operation seems to get deselected.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] palokm:

sciences that it wants to do something is a guide and if it's this version for beginners or when we do not know what is going on ..... I want to learn, but if I do not know what it is so difficult thing to do and to me all the time ...... it in the version for beginners to learn nothing ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alijani:
Does anyone know what the problem is?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
To start of, try using one of the pre-defined projects. To do this go to open project and select either 6.5 or 6.5.5. I have tested both of these on my EUO 512mb HD2 and they both work.

If you are using a TMOUS device I am not 100% sure that this kitchen will work. I am building a new kitchen now that should be compatable and I am hoping will also solve the space issues with the 512mb devices!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Guys, fixed space issues with rom. Now using full rom instead of getting 51mb free I am now getting 171mb free! Also think this kitchen will be fully tmous compatable! Version 5.0 will be released today / tmorrow!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I seem to remember something about being able to use a registery key to order the start menu icons but cant remember off hand what it is. I will try to find out and may be release it in version 6!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] karamat.hussain@blueyonde:
kitchen still does not work for ME

To start of, try using one of the pre-defined projects. To do this go to open project and select either 6.5 or 6.5.5. I have tested both of these on my EUO 512mb HD2 and they both work.

I have tried as advised with version 4.5 - This works much faster BUT I still dont have Manilla -

Also I added some programs which included SPB Mobile Shell and Mobile Sense, other programs appeared as expected except the above two.

Can you please advise what I could be doing wrong?

I dont get any errors - I did select the compression option for Manilla.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Is yout device euro 512 or tmous device? If it is tmous this kitchen may not work. I am releasing a new kitchen tomorrow that should be compatable with tmous devices.

SPB Mobile shell may cause problems with sense. Try it with just the project on its own. Just tried on my device and works perfectly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] karamat.hussain@blueyonde:
my device is EU LEO T8585 like yours - not a Tmous

I have tried all your kitchen versions sample projects with and without any modifications but I keep on getting the same results.

I wonder if HSPL Ver 3.03 is the problem or I am not selecting Manilla correctly

I am ticking ALL boxes for Manila tabs - is that OK?

Regards

P.S the lock / screen is not working either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Ah that might be the problem. In my advanced version, I include 2 versions of manila. Sense 2018 which is stable and sense 2021 which is newer but expermintal. If you select both it will cause problems. Only select 02 Sense 2018 folder or 03 Sense 2021. I am currently using HSPL 2.08 on my device so not sure how version 3 will work.

New version being uploaded now!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I would try my basic version of kitchen first. This can be found in my signature below. Use a sample project and start from there. These have been tested on my device and are working properly. Version 2.0 of my basic build is being uploaded now!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] karamat.hussain@blueyonde:
Sorry - I did not mean I ticking all boxes for both Manilla versions - I am only ticking all boxes for a manilla version

I think the problem might be the HSPL Ver 3 - I willchange to 2.08 and let you know
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Fixed download links! New version available!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Great Project!

Hey Ghost, great project here. I am messing around with it now and having a great time. I am very amazed at just how fast my phone is running with this ROM. Seriously fast!

Just noticed a couple things and had a few suggestions, if you are open to them.

1. No Google Maps icon shows up in the Start Menu. The link to the icon is in the Registry, but it appears that no lnk file is put into the start menu.

2. Is it possible to assign the start menu icons in the same place that we arrange them? It appears to me that if I use the Start Icons section of the kitchen to put the lnk for a program into a folder, the registry link to the png for that lnk will still point to the original location.

3. Adding an image for the folders you create would be great. Just something basic for the new folders you create in the start menu.

I am really enjoying this, thank you so much for putting together a way for us beginners to try making a ROM. I just love it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Yup my bad, I missed out the google maps icon. It is easy to add. Simply copy one of the existing icon folders, rename it as Google Maps, then edit the app.dat file and type in Directory("\windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Google Maps.lnk","\wnidows\Google Maps.lnk"

As for te start menu icons I think you need to edit the registry for the shortcut you are changing and put the new registery entry in there. That should override any existing entries for that shortcut.

By the way are you using a tomus or euro device? I only reciently made changes to see if I can make the kitchen compatable with both devices and would like confirmation that it works!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hey, thanks. Yeah, I already started using the 4.1.1 in the ROM anyway, so it didn't matter for me.

I am pretty sure that if I put the new png to lnk reg info in later it will work fine. It will just mean the registry will show both the new and old icon png location, the old spot just won't get used.

I am actually using a 9193 from Australia on the AT&T network in the US. So I guess mine is more like the EU version.

I have two more things, one question and one fix to point out. The question is, can I define a local in the kitchen? Right now, it sets English UK as the local and of course I would like to set it to USA.:D

Also, I am using the 23569 ROM and I found that some of the HTC stuff specific to the 6.5.x roms doesn't come through. The one that I noticed is the HTC Black theme is missing the extra menu stuff for the bottom buttons and other menus. If you change you WinMo theme to Classic Blue and then back to HTC Black, you'll see a bunch of graphics are missing. I narrowed it down to items in the Operator Pkg folder.

Edit: I found that the files are there, but the "HTC Black.tsk" is the one for 6.5 and not for 6.5.x.

Edit 2: While I found the files in the kitchen, when looking at them they are actually a bit different. The 6.5.x files are a bit more finger friendly. So it might help if you put the whole theme set in the folder for bottom buttons. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Can you get me the htc task file for the 6.5.5 I can create a seperate option to select it in the 23569 folder.

I'll look into the locale for you. Im sure it is a simple registery key someware.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hey Great, thanks. Here are the HTC Black theme files. I pulled them from the Oboe stock rom.

I burned a new rom using your kitchen and looked at the base install reg settings and it appears the ROM starts out using the Classic Blue them, which is just fine in your kitchen. It comes from the WinMo build folder.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hey Ghost, I found the locale. It is being set by the reg file in the Op Package folder. I am comparing the reg there to one from the USA, so I can figure out how to set it up for other countries. It just so happens that is the folder that should also have the other files for the ROM being 6.5.x vs. 6.5. I'll try and figure out a folder for 6.5.x for the USA and then a 6.5 version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hey Ghost, I have a question about the 23569 tweaks folder. Are those "needed" if you select the 23569 rom, or are those mods to the standard version?

If they are tweaks, what exactly is changed by using each one? Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I find that those tweaks teak the rom a bit. Try it with out the tweaks and you see what I mean. There are fixes for IE etc and the keyboard font. They are not necessary but do help the look of the rom over all.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Cool, I'll give it a whirl. I only asked, because I can see some of the files in the fixes are very core elements of WinMo. Like GWES and some of the taskbar icon dll files. One of the fixe is a Cookie specific LUA file.

Also, I find that the fix with the bottom buttons takes control of the bottom buttons for all themes applied. Meaning, if I apply a new tsk file with a theme for WinMo, the bottom bar elements from that theme won't apply to the phone. If I build the ROM without that folder, then all the other themes work fine. As long as I add back in the corrected HTC Black theme tsk and image files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
They definitly aren't "core" as such, I just found that with them they make wm 6.5.5 look alot better!

You can definitly build 6.5.5 roms with it out. I just tried to make it look alot better :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
OSKitchen Priority

Hey Ghost, thanks for all the answers and sorry for being such a pain. One more question, for now. Do you know how OSKitchen prioritizes duplicate files? Let's say, for example, that a file exists in a package in the 01 section, but I put one that I like better in my own tweak section like 11. Does osKitchen build from the top down and use my file? Or is it random?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
i am doing with the right mouse button, package properties, priority > add
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Thats exactly it! I allways assumed that you simply ordered them in oskitchen, thats why I chose the current layout, but that way is so much better!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hey Poy & Ghost,

Thanks for the info. I saw that in there, but didn't mess with it yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
Hi GhostX, sorry for the noob questions ... can i add files directly in EXT package folders? can I edit app.reg? I mean I want to cook my personal version of CHT2.0, with some files self edited, tweaks, etc. So there is CHT2.0 package folder in osKitchen\Sources\Devices\HTC Leo\EXT Packages\10 CHT\Cookie Home Tab 2.0, an I my intention is to put my files directly there in \files, overwriting the originals, also the add the registry keys editing app.reg. Or should I import my files as EXT package and set priority? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ericv99:
wow poy.. cooking up a rom?

sounds promising hope you release
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hey Poy, in my limited experience, just changing the files and reg in an existing EXT works just fine. I've done that with a couple of the base WinMo themes in the kitchen. Obviously you just want to remember what you change, in case you want to use a later kitchen that Ghost might release.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
HTC Peep / Twitter Tab

Hey All, I actually used my own rom today for the first time and it actually held up well all day long! So one thing I had to figure out was that in order to get Peep to work on this ROM, you need to install the Hot Fix from HTC. Problem is, it won't install on a custom rom. But there cajunflavorebob saved us with this post. Install the cab and all will work well.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11319041&postcount=13

Also, next time I cook one up, I'll see if I can work this fix in the kitchen. I'm sure you can, since plenty of chefs have gotten it to work. Without this fix, you won't be able to log in to Twitter.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
thankyou Osi, and congratulations!
