Hi folks!

I've got a few questions..

Dont burn me down with *search wiki* TRUST ME, I DID!..I didn't even want to start a thread.

I use "Der Hermes Rom Koch v0.99.6.1* It works great! *but it doesnt open (for example) 04_ExtROM.nb, I get the error; "...Critical Error: Couldn't create imgfs_raw_data.bin"

But what I wanted to know is;

#1 How can I make an extended rom .nb (with my own files (.CAB's))

#2 And when I want to edit an OS.nb, how do I know what the normal (os wm6) files are and how do I know what file's to remove that are added in the OS.nb, by another person.

*hope you understand my questions



*I really used search!!!!

:)

At the moment there is no "autmatic" tool to create a ExtROM nb file, you can put what you want on your unlocked extROM folder and then use rbmc command from bootloader to dump the ExtROM, capture the output and reconstruc it with xxd (unix tool), but this is a very manual process and a Pain-in-the-Ass(tm). HOWEVER AnDim announced he'll release writing support for his ExtROM tool soon, see here:

There are several methods to do this, probably someone with more experience than me can tell u more clever methods, for a simple one, you can use bepe's package tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296861), and all that is not converted to a RK package means has been manually added to the rom by the person who did it.
