Help with cooking new 503g ROM in English - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've come across a ROM for the MWG 503G (old, I know!) by accident on a Chinese site while looking for something else. Here is the link:
http://www.shuaji.net/html/rom/mobilephone.../0818/1805.html
I've used google to translate it and find the link to the download but it is veeery slow! I also don't know the bits that are country specific and don't know how to cook (Me! A woman in the kitchen!Naa! No way!) a ROM and make it in English.
If I manage to finish this slow download I will try to flash it. I was almost giving up on this phone anyway so it does not matter if I get chinese in it.
Any friendly cook out there willing and good enough to find the right ingredients for this supper?
I cannot have your babies...(too old for that! Ah ah ah!) ...but you would have made a middle aged woman very happy! Your scout's task of the day!

Managed to download it. It is only the OS.nb file
This is the same OS.nb that was inside the Mionica_kitchen for the Portège G900 but that kitchen has an output file with extension dip.
I don't know how to merge the OS with the rest as there is no kitchen available to generate a XLD output that I know of. But I would welcome to be pointed to the right direction.

Warning: This ROM Kitchen is for Personal use only, ROM's Created with this Kitchen should not be released on the forum. This is to stop the situation we have on other forums (everyone + his dog releasing roms that change little) happening here.​

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?

Win Mobile 6.1 for Atome Life...

ok i think many many many of us might be having this query in our minds but no one (surprisingly) has asked this question yet...
it all made sense that ppl were asking for WM6 ROM ports for the Atom life when actually there was an official ROM....
(PPL said it didn make sense... and yes i very much agree that it sure didnt)
but recently i saw the WM Kernel 6.1 Demo and have been in love wit ever since....
Will any of the great souls of this forum be PORTING the WM6.1 to the ATOM LIFE any time Soon...?
Forgive me if this question has been asked befor (i searched for it in this section but failed)
waiting for a reply
TAKE CARE & GOD BLESS

it's actually for SP not PPC. see this thread
let's pray for it
it seems that the demo is for SP only but it seems down right STU**D for MS to not release the Update for the PPC... the latter being the high end in both hardware and OS...
so i'm pretty sure that it is in the offing in the not so distant future ;-)
m8 and i found this screenshot from one of the BA ROMs posted in the respective forum sections...
what bout this is it some srta joke..?
I dont think PDAViet group makes fun of themselves anyway.
But you never know there are ways to change the build and version number.
unless there is a better verification rather than just build number, it's just gonna be hard. Maybe someone could be check some of dll file version

totally agree! it's easy to fake such numbers. even good ol MS paint can easily do the trick!
I have ported the new wm6.1 to atom life ,and it run quite stable and the speed is faster than wm6.
but It has two bugs:1.I have ported the wm6.1 XIP to life except 3 files,so the XIP version could't show properly
2.wm6.1 implement new sms program,and if you use the reset button
to restart the phone,then your lately sms and phone record will lose,so the only solution is using some software to soft-rest the phone.
the download link is here:http://www.pdaclan.com/thread-6318-1-1.html
this version is chinese version,and I HOPE someone can translate it to english or maybe IF i Have spare time I will do it.
THANKS FOR reading my poor english.
Nice ROM
How did you change the bootscreens ? If I extract the original screens from XIP, I only can open it with Windows Paint.
I never figured out how to change them.
It looks good and seems fast, but unfortunately I can't read chinese.
What's the difference between the first al1.dio and the new one ?

wow! I spoke too soon!!! hehehehehe. well, if it's true that WM6.1 is out already, there is no need to rush things and jump to 6.1 this early. IMO there are still some bugs to be fixed in our WM6 right we can then finalize WM6 first, to become very fast and stable. before leaping into WM6.1 that i'll bet a grand full of bugs! hehehehe

Change the bootscreens is easy,and I hope you can understand what I explain:1.as you said,you should extract the original screens from XIP,2.you should EDIT IT using photoshop,you can open two files,one is the bootscreens file ,the other is the one you want to be your
bootscreens,and then you should copy the other image then paste it to the bootscreens file,3.when all these is done,you can merge Layer of the bootscreens file and make sure that the file size is 153,672byes,and then you can replace the file in XIP and use xipport to build the new XIP.
the difference between the first al1.dio and the new one is the first has implement the new xip from the original 9000 wm6.1 rom ,but it couldn't show the version numbers:5.2.19195,instead, it show 5.2.18120.Meanwhile,it's pure edition, THE new one's XIP is from the p800 wm6.1 ROM,but I think the XIP is faked because I have compare it to the 18538 XIP and found out most of the files are the same.but THE new one can show the version numbers:5.2.19195.That's it.
QQ108108, are you okay?
I'm trying to translate, without success, your ROM, but I'm a noobie and need.
If you give me some directions, I can keep trying to do it.
Hugs,
Nalvio
Please do your best we are waiting anxiously for this rom.
Thanks

How to get the original bootscreen from XIP?
How to replace the new image in XIP?
Is it the same with Atom/Atom Exec in nk.exe/S000?where is the first byte in hex of image in S000?
More, I found BooScr.bmp in ATOM LIFE KITCHEN\TOOLS\OUT\FILES\OEMXIPKERNEL after run XIPPort. That file size 153,672bytes, Is it right?

It's easy to get the original bootscreen,just use xipport to dump the original XIP,then you will find BootScr.bmp in /out/files,and the method to replace the new image in XIP I have explain in the previous post.
I think that it's not the same as Atom/Atom Exec,because I can't find anything like image files in Atom/Atom Exec XIP.
BTW,TO my atom life,replacing the new image in xip do not need to EDIT nk.exe/S000.

It's not difficult to translate the rom,All I need is wwe rom,and the wwe SYS from the other device,and I can make a wwe wm6.1 rom, but now I'm dealing with the most difficult part:XIP,maybe when I finish this part,I will make a wwe rom for your guys.SO now you just need to wait or try to make one by yourself.

Kitchen for GENE and New GENE??

Hey Guys,
Its been a while since i am visiting this forum. I've seen that most of the phone specific Upgrading/Modifying sections have atleast one thread about a kitchen for that particular phone. But this is not the case with P3400 and P3400i also known as GENE and the New Gene.
Why is it so? There are 3-4 ROMS available for gene and now 1 for the New Gene too but none of the authors have shared the kitchen they used for the purpose.
I know there is a thread by a moderator in this forum where he has shared the tools he used for the purpose, but the thread is not written in such a way that it can be of use for a new person.
So i request all the senior members who have experiance with cooking roms for P3400 and P3400i to share the process and tools in a clear way so more good ROMs can be made by other people too or atleast some modifications can be tried out to make the existing ones work better.
That would be a good step for all.
I made a Kitchen for gene and i'm planning to release it soon. I need to correct some bugs and made a tutorial.
here is the link
but i don't have account on 4pda.ru
if any body has 4pda.ru account download and create mirror link
Thanks Ankit, i managed to create an account on 4pda.ru by translating russian into english by the Yahoo Babelfish service. It was quiet difficult but i somehow managed to do it. Currenlt downloading the file. Will post a mirror soon.
In the meantime, can anyone suggest a filesharing website where i can upload it for free and forever? On rapidshare they delete the uploaded file after sometime.
Hey guys!
Here is the mirror link for the GENE Kitchen. This kitchen is for both new and old gene. Kudos to Ankit for finding it
http://www.4shared.com/file/76585257/8f1b219e/gene_kitchen.html
But one thing still unsolved, the readme file is in i dont know what language, its not even Russian. And the files inside the kitchen also contain russian versions as far as i can guess.
Can anybody throw some light on how to use this kitchen to generate a stock WM 6.1 ROM without any custom software and ALL the default software. One thing i can guess is that if i want all the default features included then i'll have to move all the stuff from "Removed from Sys" folder to Sys folder. Am i right?

Ya i thought about that, but i guess 4Shared is good too. Is anybody having problem downloading the kitchen from 4shared?
Any updates on the Kitchen Guys??? I have managed to get the translation of the Readme done by Google translate. I have attached the translated file.
This kitchen is made from a Russian ROM as a base. So its unusable as far as i am concerned. Some tools, although are intresting. I have managed to make an automated batch script to dump a ROM Image's (.nbh file) contents into a folder. I call it ROMAnalyzer
To use it:
--------------
Extract the ROMAnalyzer.zip to a folder. Copy your ROM file to the directory. Now drag it to either FullDump.cmd or OSDump.cmd to start the process. Check out the output folder for the dump.
The difference between FullDump and OSDump is that FullDump dumps the imgfs filesystem and also leaves the XIP, NB and TXT files in the output folder for furthur analysis. OSDump just dumps the OS files.
Don't know whether it would be useful to anyone or not. Just sharing what i got. I use it to look into new ROMS after downloading them to see whats included, and sometimes, copy stuff off them like games, tones etc

anyone busy making a nice rom for us

i whas wondering ive some one is cooking roms for oure phone
now hspl is released
with my other phone there where already roms before the hspl whas released
and here hspl is out for a couple of days but nowhere roms for the phone
I think there are some. But need some time to prepare and test them.
I' m cooking myself and I already have some workable roms. Right now I have wm6.5 with mega packages on my device. But there are thinks to be fixed and needed skills and knowledge that I haven't. I'm new to this, and there are a lot of informations here, but difficult to find and most difficult to read and understand, if you don't know very good english, and I don't.
I can post my roms if some want to play and test them.
But I don't know if I can fix thinks that don't work. For warranded good roms, needed to wait the experts.
sure i will test it
and a suggestion first make a normal rom and try to make that one flawless and then add the megapacket
and for questions there are enough great cooks here on xda
try to contact one of them that speaks youre language maybe they can help
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm uploading right now 2 roms for testing. There are normal with Iolite stuf with updated XIP & SYS. As soon as links are ready I will post them(maybe in next hour).
They seem quite stable, I didn't test them a lot cause I'm trying to make another with mega packages. I try to fix some problems with ezinput, audio manager and commanager. Other things seems to work fine.
Here are the links:
WM6.1 test (XIP&SYS 21054)
