Hi all,

Screen shoot of the beginnings of the new Kitchen interface.

There is still a great deal of work to do on it and I have a couple of people about to test and give some feedback and ideas.

Please feel free to post some ideas on this thread as to what usefull functionality could be added to it but no silly ideas please.

At the moment it is capable of building you four types of Rom, Vanilla, Business, Full Flavour and Custom (allowing you to select which OEMs to include) All you have to do is select your build type (and the OEMs you want added if you select Custom) then click the build button.

More functionality is being added and details will be added to this post as and when they become available


Regards,


Beast

The current design of the OEMs plugin would require two modifications to add an OEM to the library.

One you must CAB the existing OEM Dir (including it's Dir name ) and two modify a text file OEMs.txt in the root of the Kitchen Dir.

The OEMs.txt file contains a list of CAB Compressed OEMs, which are extracted to the OEM folder when selected in the Kitchen. So adding your own OEMs is simple.

Cheers

Hi,

A lot of work has been done on VideoCall and it is still not 100% functional.

I am not sure, we will probably release the Kitchen shortly, maybe a month or so after some BETA testing.

The idea is to make it very simple.
So many people want different apps and utils that I thought a simple interface with a "One Click" Build function would make using Rom kitchens more appealing to new comers and sceptics.

Of course I'll have a disclaimer to indemnify myslef from any damage caused by it's use!

Cheers,


Beast

Everything is working, but I wish to add more functionality and have Rom bug fixes to sort out and BETA testing before releassing this.

This will be released as a complete Kitchen, we are not just releasing the front end to plugin to existing Kitchens (although it will if you wish) and we are hoping to cram in as many OEMs bug fixes and tweaks as possible, so the result is a decent simple to use Kitchen and a fast stable, reliable WM6 Rom to boot(No pun intended)

It's difficult to be easier, but probably easier than an "One Click" Build function I just can imagine a "Drag and drop" Build function without needing to change the text file OEMs.txt in the root of the Kitchen Dir.

Hi Beast,

Better, release an alpha so that people practically can realize about which feature he is missing or any bugs...etc...etc.

I totally agree. With a new kitchen and ROM, even if they were alpha, we could track some eventual bugs and make some suggestions.

As you said a lot of work has been done and VideoCall still isn't 100% functional, therefore it seems to be difficult to estimate how long it takes to solve this VC issue...

Can you use for this project helmi kitchen rom? It was perfect, no bug with wi-fi, no bug with mms, no bug with email etc.

Hi all,

Laurentius and I have decided to release an updated Rom with bugfixes for now, so work on the new Kitchen will be delayed for a bit.

Thanks to those who were going to Alpha test, I'll get it over to you guys as soon as I can, maybe a week or two.

Cheers,


Beast
