Cooking Recontructed ROM - same size ?

[kuzco1]

Hi,
I am cooking for my perosnla use a anew ROM; but have some problems with it. Using the VF_UK_3.08.161.0_radio_sign_25.74.40.02_1.64.08.21 ROM and KaiserKitchen provided by Alex.

What have I done.
1. Extract RUU_signed.nbh and edited OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat for changing the program folder and the links.
2. Cooked and flashed a new ROM. Works fine.
BTW: Many thanks for this forum !!!
3. Installed new CABs (approx. 20 new Cabs)
4. Dumped with pdocread.exe the files Part00.raw, ..., Part04.raw.
5. Put RUU_signed.nbh (from point2), Part01.raw and Part02.raw in BaseRom folder and extract them. (I took the option b from the extract menu).
6. Cook a new ROM.

But this ROM has the same size like the ROM from point 2.
I thought Part01 and Part02 includes my new installed CABs within the OS.

I have searched the forum, but I have found unfortunately nothings which helps me.

Any hints, any tips ?

Many mans thanks

as far as i understand,if you dump a rom you dump the "base" rom, not the installed cab´s.

if you want more programs in your rom you have to put the oem-packs in your kitchen!

The dump include OS (OEM, ROM & XIP data), Radio, SPL. The dump is reading rom files.

To add things you need to create packages for them. Read the wiki or thread about package maker.

Thanks to all .... I thought I can go this way.

I think you can. We talked about that, and I think it would be better option to do that way, because it's faster to include all progs, tweaks and release a new ROM. Also I think most people rather likes to create OEM packages, but dumping full ROM would be excellent option. This days I think I will have some free time to try that. Like "austinsnyc" told me in some older post, IMGFS tools could be help us to do that.
There is link what we talked about:

We can help each other in progress. If we will be successful I will create tutorial.
