Excellent guidance for upgrading Gene ROM by Mobix here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1924340&postcount=1) (Mobix)
I know there are a lot many other files for editing the rgu files and creating hv files but I didnt try them. I dumped the ROM successfully and still learning to delete or add packages. Although I am not saying that I successfully flashed my Gene with the ROM I cooked, but learning never stops :) till someone expert comes along to explain things and to guide us cooking wannabes to a nice kitchen and a nice personalised ROM :) Your suggestions and guidance and advices are all more than welcomed here

The post below is where I am going to post the packages I create and the one below that is where I am going to put up the problems I face so no one else will repeat and brick their phones :)

Also attached the original Gene RUU, just in case

I did my part of dumping the OS.nb in HyperCore as mentioned in anichillus's thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309549). Then I used the package tool to make packages from the dump and transfer the SYS and OEM folder to Build. I haven't yet mastered the art of adding or deleting the packages here but I certainly deleted the useless images and theme files which eats up space. Post that I did the BuildOS which created the OS-New.nb very nicely. Used HTCrT tool to create the new RUU_Signed.nbh with the OS and ExtRom. While flashing the RUU showed "Flash Write Error" at about 99%. Need guidance after or prior to that, although will not stop trying and will keep posting the progress so far here :)

When I tried to recreate the hive files (default and user) Problem was faced in default.hv. Attached CMD screen, default.rgu and boot.rgu file - Solution: Found by Orefkov here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1963719&postcount=9)

After I tried to flash my Gene with my custom cooked ROM, it left me with a blank phone. Although I passed the 1st splash screen then it was blank - Solution: Found by Anichillus here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1958135&postcount=459)

Thanks to following experts for guiding me and lending a helping hand :cool:

@orefkov

did your gene comeback?
did it die?
orefkov

Work with registry.
Some key's names in gene registry have '\' (slash) symbol in it.
Rgucomp dont work with this. You need replace '\' in key's names on '\\'.
I write simple script for it.

hey bro how to rmove some oem sofwarez like transcriber and other files from rom plz xplain in steps

first of all, if u have no idea of what u doing then have a backup of ur original rom, so in case of any hiccups u can easily revert back

MOST IMP NOTE: i am guiding u based on guidance i have got from experts here at xda and i am not responsible if u brick ur device

in ur sys folder u'll see packages which will have names like transcriber, transcriber_lan_409 etc etc.. if the name of package is name of the folder, then the entire folder is the package that u wanna delete.. if it is within another folder then delete that file.. after that u need to edit the associated rgu files to set the reg strings right. this u can check my thread for additional info and additional editor files from orefkov.. be careful in what u delete, adding is a different story as adding will show u errors at the most. deleting a wrong file can turn ur beauty into a stone hearted brick.. happy cooking.. do post ur doubts point wise so it is easier to guide and also post what steps u did to get there.. happy cooking!
