hiho,
i made an easy to use romcooking tool (i use it for moding my favorit roms )
its still alpha but if someone like to test it. ON YOUR OWN RISK !!!
because its written in C# and you can easyliy work with diffrent roms @ same time
just select an *nbf and this tool dumps it into a folder beside this file
i.e. no need for winhex(initflashfiles.dat) and default.rgu are save in the correct format automaticly
for simply add/remove files and/or regtweaks everthing is included
the scripts based on Molski's kitchen updated with bigstorage imagetools
the main app is the neokit.exe
have fun
inteks
you like it ? let me know ;-) --->>> DONATE
update version a087:
http://rapidshare.com/files/139239824/NeoKitSetup_A087RC4_.msi.html

the buid process is more automated now
the new build nbf file is copied together with RUU into "ROMDUMP\UpdateFiles"
G'Reloc is back
it has a setup now
a 'small' UC Config tool is included (path is fixed to \Storage Card\Cabs)
on the UC Config tab the files in "\Storage Card\Cabs" are listed (if you prophet is connected)
you can check which ones to install. sdconfig.txt is written directly to your storagecard.
you can also clear the autorun flag in registry and run checkautorun.exe directly to test your setup.
have fun
inteks
ps:
ist finally fixed that neokit can run from "long" pathnames. it can now run from i.e. "c:\program files\.... .....\neokit"
the setup will add the filetyp ".nbf" to registry. you can edit rom bei dubbleclick now ;-)
update version a070:
ok. beside some other fixes and optimations the most interesting new feature is the "comparer" button on the 'Files' tab!
you can select an other rom and neotab hides all files included in both roms!!!
in other words.
select a "reference" rom i.e. micro V3 as smallest but working rom and neokit hides all files that are "needed" !!!
you can edit/remove the files that are not really needed ;-)
update version a061:
Fileinfos(comments) are included in fulltextsearch now ;-)
update version a060:
1. i removed package import because it dont work as it should !! i dont dont why. . .
2. i fixed many bugs and put proper errorhandling in most functions.
update version a050:
biggest new feature is automated dumping and building of extension.rom
on the filestab you can select "remove" OR "moveto extRom"
if you move *.dll to extrom, then neokit ask you to include extRom in SystemPath! ;-)
update version a035:
added a treeview for packages
update version a034:
fixed a bug when option.xml is not unicode.
and i've added a ceipui.exe for WM6.1
if you remove this file you get an error messsage on boot. so i compiled a replacement that does absolutly nothing
update version a033:
added a fulltextsearch on the "files" tab ;-)
update version a032:
fixed some bugs when importing OEM Packs. pls copy the exefile into neokit folder.
update version a030:
add's OEM packeage import support
update version a021:
this is an hotfix only! pls replace the neokit.exe from version a020!!!
this version brings a big new feature ->
neokit creates a folder in its apppath called Fileinfo
on the filetab in the contextmenu you can "add comments" for everyfile
this comments saved as Filename+txt AND they are shown as tooltip AND they are on every dump you work on AND they are shareable !!!
I.E. -> if you know a file cant be removed because your neo dont boot without that file, add comment and share your comments here ;-)
update version a020:
new pic preview with thumbs
on the fly UPX compresion
removing with contextmenu now to prevent removing by mistake / removed items are red
screen -> http://m8z.de/screen.a020.PNG
update version a010:
ok. here is a new version with some really nize features ;-)
->winimage is included and there is a new button to edit extrom
->reshacker is included, on the fileTab in contextmenu you can open every file directly with reshacker !!!
if you edit resources with reshacker click "save" in reshacker then close reshacker.
neokit will "wait" till you exit reshacker and then it moves the *_original.* file to "ReshackerBackups" .
i also added "reversmode.exe" to edit the resources of "moduls" BUT NOT ALL DLL/EXE WORK AFTER CONVERSION MODUL->DLL->MODUL
if such a Modul not work try using the DLL file instead.
btw. its a multipart rar renamed to .zip
update version a006:
found and fixed this bug:
"Could not open input file '80040000-OS.nb'. Aborting."
it occurs on "long" filenames in path to nk.nbf. sorry for the circumstances
update version a005:
if you use an extendedRom you can put your tools into the extrom folder. on the initflashfiles tab click createstartmenuentry to create a linkfile to your tool
neokit reads the name of your "should be unlocked" extrom out of default.rgu ;-)
sample:
i put my neotab.exe in my extrom called "xFlash"
then neokit create a linkfile like 20#"\xFlash\neotab.exe" and an entry like Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("neotab","\Windows\neotab")
(you still have to build and translate the extension.nb for yourself !!!)
some bugfixes
update version a004:
runtimeerror on filestab fixed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=66063&d=1200406481
update version a003:
-"search" now search over default.rgu+user.rgu
-you can filter out packages in the filestab
-a new button to recreate packageinfos (if you copy the content of an OEM package to the dump dir)
-a contextmenu on filestab to edit i.e. bitmaps (it open the standart edit progy for that file)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=65915&d=1200321831
EDIT:

you can manually add file to the dump directory BUT
since bigstorage is possible it doesnt make sense to ADD files then to REMOVE files !!!
everything in ROM cant be deinstalled later !!!!!!
i for myself do the following -> i remove files, flash, if it doesnt work i put them back and try again ;-)
Okay this looks brilliant.
I've got as far as dumping a rom, building it.
When I come to the nb2nbf dialog box I get stuck. I have no idea what values to enter in the boxes! Please help, thanks.
I saved this from another thread, if this is what you need:
ModelID - PM300
Lang - WWE
OEM v. - any
operator v. - any
CID- clear
StartAddres - 80040000
ImageName - OS

i use korands 2.5 superclean as base rom and i removed sql mobile and wmplayer app and the kamera app (coolcamera works great and is only 52kb )
i am near 70mb on a G4 neo ;-)
i just want to make some minor adjustments in the korand 2.5 rom. it is already bigstorage.
is there anything i need to pay attention to?
and how can i modify/delete/add any registry key before i create the new rom?
cheers.

KITCHEN MANILA 2D MEGA THEME WM 6.5 23017
OK Guys, Here is the Kitchen:
1. You can directly build the ROM, and the result is same with my ROM at this thread
2. I moved some folder inside SYS to "removed" folder, and if you want to build non M2D ROM (Default Titanium) you have to move that folder again into SYS Folder.
As confirmed by dheerajk27, Titanium in this Kitchen is working well.
HAPPY COOKING.....

Cooking course class
COOKING COURSE CLASS for NOOB Chef
As request from some people to make a tutorial in cooking a ROM, I open a “COOKING COURSE CLASS” to fulfill that request, everybody can joint my class here.
Before you joint to my “COOKING COURSE CLASS”, the most important thing you must do is “Download my 23017 Kitchen”, then make sure you already install DotNET 2 or above and Visual basic redistribution 2008 in your PC, you can download it at Microsoft Site.
Extract my Kitchen and you will see the folder:
- EXT\Packages (Some Custom app)
- OEM (Driver and Default Device app)
- RELEASE (The result of the ROM)
- Removed (Some folder that I don’t use to build ROM)
- ROM (contain of XIP of NEW GENE & OLD GENE)
- SYS (OS)
- TOOLS (some app to build ROM)
If you already have that you ready to follow my class, the registration fee is USD 1000 (Just Kidding…..)
Here is the Course Module:
Lesson 1: How to use my kitchen
It very simple to use, go root of the kitchen, you will find a bat file there. If you have OLD GENE (OG) click “build_OldGene.bat”, and if you have New GENE (NG) click “build_NewGene.bat”, and the process will run automatically, the result of your ROM is in “RELEASE” Folder, the file name is “RUU_Signed.nbh”
Lesson 2: How to build a Newer ROM with my kitchen.
You have to download the SYS and Xip of the new Build.
SYS:
SYS contain several folders, basically it can be grouped as: Common SYS, Language, DPI, and Resolution. And for GENE you should have the Common SYS, DPI_96, and resh 240*320. For language use it as you want, default is 0409 (US English).
Remove everything inside my SYS Folder, and then put the new SYS.
XIP:
The Component of XIP are:
1. LangDB
2. OEMXIPKERNEL
3. WinCENLS_WWE
4. MSXIPKernel
5. MSXIPKernelLTK
1,2, and 3 are device related, 4 & 5 are OS related, so if you want to build a newer ROM, replace the content of 4 & 5 inside ROM\ XIP_OLD and inside ROM\ XIP_NEW
How if you can’t find MSXIPKernel & MSXIPKernelLTK from the new Build?, very simple, some people only provide with xip.bin, download that file, and dump it with XIPPort.exe, here is the tools.:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125449740/a1b9e454/XIPPort.html
Now, put the attached file and the xip.bin in the same folder, then run XIPPort.exe, click “dump xip.bin” and wait until folder “OUT” appear, then click “make pkgs”, close the XIPPort.exe. go to folder “out” and you will find “Files and Modules” folder, inside each folder, you will find folder 1,2,3,4, & 5, take only files and module in folder 4 & 5, and put it in ROM\ XIP_OLD and inside ROM\ XIP_NEW. And don’t forget to delete any *.txt file inside that folder.
Now you have a XIP from new ROM.
Lesson 3: How to make a custom app
Prepare your cab or package of the app. If you use cab file you must convert it first, use this tool to do it:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125449769/ea533e72/Package_Creator.html
Put the cab in the same folder with this tools and click “cab2newkitchen.bat”, it will transform cab to new kitchen.
After that put the packages inside folder EXT\Packages of my kitchen.
Lesson 4: How to make a shortcut to the app and group it in specific folder
In the each package app folder, you will find file “app.dat”, open it by notepad, than you will find line like this:
Directory("\windows\start menu\programs"):-File("BlackMe.lnk","\windows\BlackMe.lnk")
It mean, the shortcut of Blackme will be putted in programs folder, so you will find it in stat menu.
If you want to group it app, for example in folder “Utility” in the start menu, that it very simple, just change the value of the above to:
Directory("\windows\start menu\programs\Utility"):-File("BlackMe.lnk","\windows\BlackMe.lnk")
After that, save your file, click menu file, save as. In the save as type column choose “All Files, In the Encoding Column choose “ANSI”,
Lesson 5: How to change the app icon
In the each package app folder, you will find file “app.reg”, open it by notepad. If you want to assign the .png file as an icon of Blackme app, then write this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Utility\BlackMe.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Your_PNG_File_Name.png"
"Group"=dword:00000000
Take a look to the bold word, you need to write “Utility” because your shortcut in the Utilities Folder, if it not in Folder, just remove “Utility” from there.
After that, save your file, click menu file, save as. In the save as type column choose “All Files, In the Encoding Column choose “Unicode”,
Lesson 6: How to get a more phone storage
There are some trick to get more phone storage.
1. Use a light app
2. MMS, for this time, we almost never use MMS, email is more powerful than MMS, so you can use the older version of this MMS app, you will get more phone storage and more RAM.
3. Remove module/folder inside SYS. If you don’t use some app inside sys, you can remove it.
4. The default installation of CAB is in Program Files folder. So if you directly convert the cab to packages, the file of app will be put in program files folder and in the windows folder, so every file of the app will have clone, it will waste your phone storage. My suggestion, avoid to put app in the program files folder, put it in the windows. Before you convert the cab file, you can edit the cab by “WinCab Manager”, and then change the installation directory to windows, save the cab and convert it, back to lesson 3.
Lesson 7: I am forget what else, I will add some tip if I remember….., If you have some trick post it in my thread and i will update The module in my “COOKING COURSE CLASS”
kindly explain

I upload it in 3 hours by my phone, first time i uploaded it, it terminated when reach 80%, because of that i split it in 2 files. I am lucky because i have unlimited data pocket and gene is good in power management, so the battery is not drain fast.
And for uploaded that 2 ROM, I need 6 hours , but i still can received/maked a call and sms during uploading process.
Hey BesFen, Congratulations to you and your wife for being blessed with a baby boy, great to hear this news Although i have a new gene so i wont be able to test it now, but since its unprotected, if people give good feedback, i'll recook it for next update of ProUsers ROM / Vanilla Manilla, with special thanks to you

Thank you my Friend.
It's unprotected, You can do anything with it, I suggest you take the Manila Package and XIP. My Manila Package was ported from jade ROM. XIP is more stable and have more free RAM 2 MB Than before i Modified it.
Also I already try your ROM .
I hope everybody have a good cooperation in build a ROM here, not as competitor.
thx

hey besfen thanks for sharing this beautifull ROM ...i have not been a grt fan of manila roms....but your rom changed my opinion abt manila roms....its fast and working good....i just have a couple of hinderances i found using this rom...
1)the phone does not switch off if i try to press the power buton...yes it gives me the warning that it will be turned off but it just puts the phone in standby...which mean soft reset is the only option if i wanted to restart the phone...also taking the battery out is the only way to switch it off...
2)active sync keep starting again and again which i was able to fix using the workaround provided by krazy for his Pro users ROM....
and Congrats buddy for the Jr Bes.....
First of all, thanks for all who contribute to the resources of winmo in this forum.
I found a nearly perfect ROM for my region from this forum, RUU_Leo_1_5_HTC_Asia_TW_2.14.709.P1_Radio_Signed_1 5.39.50.07U_2.10.50.26_Test stock ROM, so I want to cook it, without any modification except from module to file the ntfconfig.dll folder.
The build process thrown an error level 1, so I search XDA for possible solution which is REM out the this line in kitchen_build_rom.bat
set DSM_TEMPLATE=%dsm%
set DSM_INCLUDES=*
REM **************** TOOLS\platformrebuilder.exe
REM if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error
Now it makes a RUU_Signed.nbh and I flash it to my HD2/LEO, Asia_TW version.
But I found some issues, expert please help me solve these:
1. The start menu folder icons were gone.
2. The start menu outlook folder is empy.
3. The start menu setting icon is not on the top (not a big issue but is better to have the default).
4. How do port a new XIP (21914) with only MSXIPKernel folder. this folder although has the same size with older 21892 MSXIPKernel folder.
Thnak you!
Edit: problem solved, I use oskitchen zero, and is working well!
Hi everyone, I'm here to teach you guys on how to change the text "Swipe up or down to unlock" on Xperia Z lock screen. Since I saw some request on it.
Preparation:
*Framework Toolkit by Themike10452 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36085941 (at B section, only the toolkit) (from now on will call toolkit)
*Notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ (under download tab)
*Java Development Kit http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html (choose the one compatible with your os) (install it before you open toolkit)
*Latest apktool (both apktool and and it's dependencies) http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list (use dependencies for windows if you are on windows)
*7zip File Manager http://www.7-zip.org/
{ above all software are essentials for one to mod any apk files and frameworks. }
*UxpNxtLockScreen.apk (extract from ROM either from phone memory using root file explorer or from flashable ROM zip (at system/app)
*A thinking Brain
**Framework Toolkit by Themike10452 http://d-h.st/Pkb (this is the version that I'm using to mod apk and framework (it mean it is working, for me), use it if your toolkit is not working, only for windows os only) (I have no idea am I allowed to share this tool or not, since i didn't get permission from Themike10452 yet, request sent but no reply at all at the moment, I will put this down if Themike10452 request so)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instructions/Guide:
§ 1st, extract Framework Toolkit by Themike10452 and put it aside on any where of your comp (preferable desktop).
§ 2nd, extract apktool files with 7 zip. Yes, open the bz2 files you had download just now, you will see a tar file within, open it again, then you will see a folder, for apktool, you will see a file jar file ; for dependencies, you will see 2 files exe and bat each, copy them and replace the same file in toolkit folder (inside the "other" folder", just override the old files).
§ place UxpNxtLockScreen.apk in "place-apk-here-for-modding" within toolkit folder.
§ run "Apk-Multi-Tool.bat" as admin. Press any keys to continue after the "Multi Tool Screen" appear. It will lead you to a screen with multiple options shown with numbers in front of them.
§ check: at top right corner, "Current-App" should follow with "UxpNxtLockScreen.apk"(if no, please recheck whether if the file you put is in correct place or not and you shouldn't have more than 1 apk in that folder to start modding or theming), then press "9" and enter to decompile apk. Once it's done, minimize the toolkit, you will use it later, now go to root folder of toolkit, within projects folder you will see a folder named "UxpNxtLockScreen.apk".
(from 1st instruction until here is the general decompiling apk process, it should works on all apks unless the apk have extraordinary resources that can't be decoded by apktool by other toolkit, maybe? and the following instructions will be called "modding" *yes, you are now starting to mod a/an apk file now )
§ navigate to /projects/UxpNxtLockScreen.apk/res/values/ and you will see 11 xml files. Open strings.xml with Notepad++.
§ find the line with this name "lockscreen_unlock_hint", use Ctrl + F if you can't find them.
eg:<string name="lockscreen_unlock_hint">Swipe up or down to unlock</string>
§ change the sentence after " > " and before " </string> " with the sentence you desire and save the file (Ctrl + S)
§ Back to Apk Multi Tool, press " 21 " > enter > " 0 " > enter. ( This is to set compression level to 0. I'm not sure if it works with Compression level at 9) then " 11 " and enter to recompile the apk. A while later. screen will pause and show a message end with < y / n >:
2 options here:
# To be safe, press " y " and enter then wait for it to extract source from original apk, navigate to keep folder, delete a file named "resources.arsc" and back to apk multi tool and press any buttons to continues. (this is to keep the original sources at new modified apk to reduce error and maintain its compatibilities to the ROM.)
# Another is " n ", just press n and enter, and done. (i wont give 100% working in this way, do it on your own risk)
§ You will then get a file named "System_UxpNxtLockScreen.apk", move or copy it into your SD, rename to "UxpNxtLockScreen.apk", and replace it with correct permission ( R W - R - - R - - ).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
# To change the number of times unlock to remove the unlock tips (unlock untill a certain times to remove the unlock tips), navigate to /projects/UxpNxtLockScreen.apk/res/values/ and open intergers.xml with note++, and find the following lines "unlocks_before_hint_removal"
eg: <integer name="unlocks_before_hint_removal">100</integer>
change the number value to number of times you desire and save the file, then recompile the apk.

You may use the apktool provided by stanlin salu from his tutorial of decompile/recompile apk. About decompile and recompile apk, follow his tutorial, just edit those files according to my instructions/guide. This thread is actually only providing the information about which file and which line to be edited to change the unlock tips and unlock times before remove tips.
{stanlin salu's apk decompile and recompile tutorial and apktool download------------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011337
CAUTION!
§ Please check both of your apk file by opening them with 7 zip file manager, compare both apk for their content(should be total of 3 files and 2 folders), all the files and folders within should have the same size except "resource.arsc" *unless you modified some other pictures, then check the number of files contained in the folder, the number of files must be the same. If "META-INF" is different, please copy the folder from original apk to modded apk and override them. None of those files (classes.dex, AndroidManifest.xml, META-INF...) can be 0kb (I think only odexed framework will get 0kb, deodexed framework will not get 0kb)
§ If you replaced any picture in drawable folders, please make sure that the picture have same file name with the original picture. And during recompile process, please delete the same picture file of the same name that you modified at keep folder if you choose < y > at the pause.
Miscellaneous:
§ If you seriously having problem to recompile or modding, you may upload UxpNxtLockScreen.apk or yours to me for modding and I will upload to you once I get it done.
§ Please give me some time to mod for you since I'm just a Pre-University Student who studied 12 hours a day and also spending my time with my family and friends as well. I'm doing all these as a part of my interest and my own free will. :angel:

U should tell at which step u were struck whether it compiled and decompiled without errors
Sorry for the delay, I always compiled with errors, with this programe and with other versions of apktool. So I say it is software problem, something missing in my computer, I never could decompiled and compiled any apk.Whit this tutorial and others.

did you install the Java and restart your comp? the apktool require Java Development Environment(JDE) to run it. JDE download is on 1st post. and you must choose the correct version, for instance like me, i'm using windows 7 ultimate x64, so i installed windows x64 bits version. since you said u tried different version of apktool and its not working, you must have either java problem, or you did not running it as administrator.

jordiluna, you try it see if it works or not. and, after recompile, please recompare the modded apk and original apk, the 3 files must have same file size, choose < y > during recompile, just delete the resources.arsc only. leave other untouched files and pictures there to be rewrite to the new modded apk.
I downloaded apktool and I put the original file and.......recompile without errors!!! all files are well. but :crying: The word that I edit in strings, I put just UNLOCK, don´t shows in the lockscreen. I redownloaded notepad too, and nothing.:silly::silly::silly:
