I've managed to cook and flash successfully my first rom with ervius visual kitchen. Nothing special, just update of official wwe rom with 21054 XIP & SYS.
I get always an error with latest version of visual kitchen, no matter if I changed something or not, and finally I succeed with a previous version from Sous-Chef's Guide.
I tried to cook a wm6.5 with latest 23403 XIP & SYS, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
but now the device stucks in htc mobility screen.
I ported xip.bin with these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4401715&postcount=2
and I created the rom with and without "real wm6.5 aku" checked, but after flash both, the device stucks in htc mobility screen.
I suppose that the problem is with XIP, so needed some editing to make it work?
I found the solution!
Because lolite haven't a native wm6.5 kernel it's needed to convert some modules to files.
After I convert Browsing, Browsingcore and Browsingie folder modules the rom boots normally(needed to wait too long to access align screen though).
Hi!
Does anybody have information about the default value of pagepool in Iolite? And where I can find it in *.nbh file?
16 Mb, U can change in Ervius kitchen by "Xipporterex & Romtools"

Yes, I found it already, but when building rom kitchen anyway change it to 6Mb
In the Build_log.txt I found: "XIP PagePool from: 6 Mb, to: 6 Mb"
Where I can change it in the kitchen?
You can change it if you "press Other" and change the number on -PP box.
But as I read, Pagepool is better to be smaller cause you will have more memory. The larger size is for stability when you run a lot of apps the same time, but I think this is not usual to run a lot apps the same time for ppc users.
Anyway, a size of 6-8 MB it's good. Search in forum to find more info about it.

O, thanks, i missed this button
I know about dependency Pagepool vs RAM, but Iolite has too much RAM, so as for me, it's better to set default value and forget about it
After Ervius kitchen I have header of *.nbh file like in attachment. Is it correct header or smth missing?
I have no device yet, so i can't check if it is right or wrong header
wont it be great if some of the great cookers such as dancer_69 can come up with a tutorial on how to cook a rom.. it would definitely benefit the whole iolite community..
I'm not so good in writing and my english also, and I'm definitely not a great cooker. I just search in the forum to find some tutorials, and also ask if I had some problems and sometimes I get some usefull awnsers from the great cookers.
Thanks to ervius and his visual kitchen, cooking became easier and there are a lot of infos and great tutorials here, in the forum:

To be honest, it is far so better to find how to cook by yourself. You will get more knowledge and experience, which help you when solving problems. For example: I also have Vox smartphone and I am learning on it. I got stuck on some stuff, but I solved it by myself and now I know where I made mistakes.
Great tools like Ervius visual kitchen makes all this stuff really easy (sort of click, cook and eat ), but you still need to know, how it works. And don't forget that you still can brick your device.

How-To build an OEM Package:
An OEM Package is just a simple folder containing files and registry settings for the ROM
First of all you'll need a GUID number for your Package.
Go to http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen to get one.
In my case:
283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db
Necessary steps:
Create a new folder:
OEM/[Your package name]/
Create a empty text file:
OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.dsm
(The Kitchen will finish this file for you)
If needed:
Create an UNICODE text file:
OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.rgu
This file could be used to add registry entries to the ROM
First line is:
REGEDIT4
...
and there MUST be a empty line at the end!!
Create an UNICODE text file:
OEM/[Your package name]/initflashfiles.txt
This file could be used to create folders or copy files on the ROM.
Example: Open OEM/OEM_Lang_0409/initflashfiles.dat using a text editor
*Do Not Edit This*
Copy all files you need to OEM/[Your package name]/
If you want an OEM package made and cant do it yourself then donate to the Athena Project and PM me the cab

I agree that some of the other forums have been overrun with people making their own ROMs and posting them, but it might be a nice idea for there to be one thread where people can share their work with others if they have cooked their own ROM. When I had my Hermes, I liked looking at what other people had done and it gave people a bit more choice. I'm not saying that PK3.0 isn't incredible (it truly is!) but there might be people who would like to try something else and maybe don't trust themselves with the ROM kitchen.
Hats off to midget for this fine kitchen!
Hi Midget,
Congratulations with the kitchen
I don't own a Athena (Omni is my priority), but I sertainly have a look at this kitchen and see what I can use for the UNI.
Thanks,
Leo
Just sond my hermes, getting an athena soon, and i think its great that here in the athena forum, you have a rula stopping every man and his dog like you said, posting roms. In hermes, everyday, theres some new cook, who just strips down schaps roms, or adds some random program to a rom. There are very few true cooks, and i think you have the right idea here, not letting everyone add their own very indifferent roms to clutter the forum. Maybe it would be an idea to make a thread to either post oem packages, (ive never had much luck making them) or their roms. But i guess then people would discuss each and evey rom in the same thread, and it would be impossible to get the information you need.
Anyways, looking forward to donating to the athena project, and getting ym athena. Is the athena project still going?

Hi,Midget.
I'm learnning cook rom. AP_kitchen give me help very well. Many thanks for your work. I have Donated to the Athena Project.
Can you tell me how to translate the AP_kitchen to non-english? I have tried for a long time. but my U1000 always stoped at second flash.
Hello everybody, I tried a lot of roms from all the developers from this forum.
Now I would create my own ROM, but I don't understand how to start.
Could someone help me in this adventure?
here is a good way to start
try using my nanoscopic kitchen then you'll see what is needed to coock a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327225
then you can start to use the hyper core kitchen and start dumping roms to rebuild
The BIG Gullum!!!
Thx so much for all of your job. I will try to read your instruction.
Gullum, how can I get the OS.nb file? I mean, with Nanoscopic I will able to add/remove some apps from the ROM, but the OS will be still the same, isn't it?

yes you will need to use hyper core for dumping new roms but most new roms the rgu files(registry settings) have been removed... so it's verry hard to make roms out of the never roms.
but you can use my kitchen to learn and you can also find lots of oem packs on this forum that you can include in the oem folder of the kitchen
It means that I can only add or remove some cabs file?
But how you can create a ROM from the beginnings?
I think that is not possible for me to change the ROM in the deep
An easy question: how can I change the ROM theme, or dialpad?
My friend Gullum i´m portuguese can you help me because i would like to learn about to change ROM for portuguese language is ti very dificult?
Hi all,
I made this manual in order to help people like myself to better understand ROM cooking basics.
It was ment to be used for Prophet ROMs, but since it uses HyperCore Kitchen, it can be practicaly used for any WM6 ROM.
Please be free to post your comments and/or suggestions.
NOTE: This manual reffers only to "old" way of ROM cooking (first downgrading to WM5, and then flashing to WM6)
If you find it useful, please vote.
Thanks to:
Gullum (for great ROMs)
Anichillus (for great Kitchen)
Cloudyfa (for Step1 ROM)

No, thank you!! I will look into it.

i like this
Thanks for your effort, this is a really good guide.
I just wanted to ask is there a difference between ROMs built this way and ROMs that we flash using new Hard/SoftSPL method.
I saw nb2nbf tool, so is it possible to just convert OS.nb file and flash it using new method or is there some more work that needs to be done?
thank you
I really need it !
Ill check it out this weekend! Seems like fun to me
I have red this guide and it is very clear, very thourough and a big help to anyone starting to cook! THANKS!!
(@ allothers that are missing some extra's: it is NOT an advanced course! So, don't complain but take an example and publish your own knowledge and experience this way. Then everyone can benefit)
Initiatives like these are giving back the original gaoal of this website, it isn't called "xda-developers" for nothing.
Perhaps someone can make a tutorial for skinning standard OS-parts (commanager, dialer, calculator, etc...) Or how to translate your favorite ROM to your own language?
you can't use this way to create XIP from Shadow's ROM, Crystal V5. ROM or from Korand's ROM.
If someone can make this XIP.. Could anyone share the file...
with that file. I can make a new ROM based on new OS..

Never flashed any of these ROMs you specified - so if their XIPs can't be dumped using Dump XIP tool from the HyperCore Kitchen, than I won't bother with them. Let me add that ROM cooker can also remove RGU files from ROM before posting, making it very difficult for someone to modify it. Then I'll skip such ROM too.
But...
FACTS
- This manual was intended for beginners.
- When you are a beginner in ROM cooking you don't like to be confused, but want it all to be clear to you before you do anything to your expensive device.
- I see that you are using modified Touch ROM, which can be dumped with this method.
- I also use modified Touch ROM, but I will not post it - there is enough good ROMs out there already
Cheers!
Hi All - my first post
Thanks for this Phnikola, I'm brand new to all this (smartphone) stuff and need a place to start. Looks good so far.
My TC500 never was in the shops, has no support and no official upgrade path (hmmm...) but there are a few cunning points concerning SIP and home landline "awareness" in the original ROM I'd like to take with me up into WM6.1 (got Cloudyfa's Shadow 2.0 TE ready to go).
Any1 have any good advice for me?
Thanks again

Yes it does, but you don't have to cook your own ROM. Just wonder around a bit on this forum and pick a ROM that suits you.

Hello guys and gals
I did say I would post a Kitchen for Charmer and here it is 6.1 to 6.5Complete and ready to cook
A big thanks to all the developer's that post there tools and work so we can all cook ROM's without them there would be no ROM's
Thanks guys your the Best
This will biuld a 6.1 M2D 5.2.20273 rom in 3 styles it's based on BEPE's tools and is easy to port to any build to learn more about this Kitchen go here http://www.darkforcesteam.com/showthread.php?t=569 read carfully and you'll find that you can have multi lang and many other options too
The OEM folder is my latest and will port to all 6.1 and 6.5 builds without you touching IT so unless you know what you are doing don't touch it this contains all the needed files for the charmer's hardware!!
The EXT folder can be edited as much as you like ( at your own risk of course ) read the above link note study the 3 folder's and you'll see that editing the image file's will change the look of your rom
To add a new color theme Open 1 of the *.bat files and edit the 3 or 5 points in red bellow then save_as New?????color v*.bat
"set BUILD=Color"
"move .\temp\OS-new.nb .\****_*****\_Swampy395_Cham_color_v2_0409_20273_OS.nb"
"tools\namedate /F /t /y .\****_*****\_Swampy395_Cham_color_v2_0409_20273_OS.nb"
To learn more about OEM's go Here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=OEM Package Tutorial
To port a new build to the Kitchen see the video's in the first link above and think a little about it, there are many ready made XIP and SYS folder's if you search this forum clue:- QVGA 96DPI
Hope you like my kitchen happy cooking
best regards

Hi mate this is a professional kitchen it's not hard to port to any build
this is all you need from a new build
MSXIPKernel
MSXIPKernelLTK
SYS
Almost everything? that's that mean???
Tell me something usefull and i may be able to help
I recomend you build the rom that came with the kitchen first and learn to edit/change things
I replaced the SYS and MSXIPKernel folders. Used wm6.5 SYS/XIP. Then _skip packages which do not need me.
Then build OS

this kitchen requires the "MSXIPKernelLTK" from the new built somtimes you need to download the xip.bin of the new build and dumpit to get "MSXIPKernelLTK" but you must have IT.
Never edit "OEMXIPKERNEL" this is the charmer kernel and must be used for every build, also romhdr.bin that came with the kitchen copyed into new build folder,
As kitchen is when first unpacked and
Don't forget to edit the ?????.bat file or you'll get the old build

Hi all,
I have been using the kitchen that jerpelea originally posted here for us and have been happily cooking ever since...but I would like to change to the new ervius kitchen and have done quite a bit of reading but still can't figure out the exact way to layout the kitchen for the Nike.
Can someone who is using this kitchen for the Nike please pm or post a link so that I can download it and look at how it is set up for the Nike?
If you need somewhere to upload it, pm me and I can give you a temporary ftp site I can access.
I am not being lazy, just trying to get my head around it
thanks in advance.

hi,
i use the ervius for my nike to translate in german 0407.
i have downloaded newest kitchen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469420
general informations: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521632
it is for raphael, but i do it this way for nike too.
4 a lite tutorial i have a link for you
http://anryl.freeforums.org/kitchen-multidevice-ervius-pictorial-t8.html
!!! you have to dump an ORIGINAL-ROM first.
happy testings...
Why don't you try a "simple" plateform rebuilder-based kitchen ?
Here's my toolset. Just copy your OEM, SYS and ROM folders in.
Then drag'n drop OEM on \TOOLSET\oem2ext.exe to convert packages to EXT packages (optional).
For ROM folder, look here : http://www.bepe80.com/test/1
Then launch build_rom.bat, chose your keys number and let's go
Well, why you don't download a full kitchen, for an example from Raphael section, and dump your oldschool cooked ROM with it? That#s the way I did it with my ROM!
Now I can cook both for Diamond and Nike with the same Kitchen!
thanks for the info guys, I will try and stick with the ervius one. I have dumped a ROM and it setup the base kitchen.
So more questions...
1. How do I convert my existing OEM apps into this new format?
2. does anyone use this to port xip's, as it seems I get an error when I try? I followed Sous-Chef's instructions, but get an error relating to dumpxip.bat and the xip.bin
thanks for your help
DT
1. look after oem2ext.exe, then drag'n drop OEM folder and all your packages named PACKAGE_<device or anything you want>_<package name> will be converted to EXT packages in \EXT\<device or anything you want>\<package name>_version.
If your packages are not named this way, they'll stay in OEM.
2. to easily port XIP, look here : http://www.bepe80.com/test/2, bepe is explaining how to upgrade XIP very, very easily (I can tell that's easy since I can do it ).
The new problematic is to convert your XIP in packages with packagebuilder by drag'n drop DSMs in it. Then the only part really needed to upgrade XIP is the MSXIPKernel folder, since OEMXIPKernel is device specific.
