Hi,

i've wonder me if it would be possible to develop a program, where you can build yourself your Personal Rom, with every single program included that you want and with a selfexplainationary guide.

I Photoshoped something for you (see attached file)

BTW. I've really no ideas about Cooking and stuff!! Really Zero!!

Take a look,

cheers

I like the look of what you did.

I have been doing some reading and tinkering with the cooking apps, however have been unable to see what the real benefit is over taking a Ultra Clean Rom (like the Dopod) and then adding whatever you want?

In any event, I like your design of concept.

You just answered your own question..... the benefit is you have a "Ultra clean rom" then your adding whatever YOU want..........

I've just the Problem, that when I download a Rom, that there is Software included which I dont want (e.g. HTC Home). Maybe in Lite Roms its not included but therefore I miss other things^^.

Maybe you can also say: Okay I take WM6 Black Satin and then I select with a nice UI the things you need...

Thats the idea of it...

So i dont know about selfcooking yet... but such a progrom would selfcooking make so easy :)

Unfortunately its not running that easy :)

If you are removing programs from a rom then you have to look whether there are dependencies with other programs or not, you have to take care of registry entries and so on and so on.

Have a look at Pandora kitchen

with it you choose which apps you want to cook in.

The big disadvantage in cooking apps in a rom is that every program is stored in the /windows folder no matter where you put it via the registry. That means a waste of space and resources because windows is accessing this folder very often. The more files there are the longer it takes and the slower is windows running. This is the reason for me to use a very light rom and install all needed software for myself.
