Looking for some OEM files

[joestop]

So I've spent the better part of the evening getting familiar with cooking ROMs--very cool! I cooked a few using PPCGeeks kitchen and played around with different things/options. I've kind of hit a road block--did some searches but really couldn't find anything solid that would guide me. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

1) In the wiki, there are stock ROMs downloadable for Sprint. Is there any way to get the OEM packages that were used to build the ROM? Reason is that there are a few apps that I would like to have that I have not been able to locate that are in the stock ROM.

2) If I have the CAB for an app, is there an easy way to create an OEM package for it? I picked apart a CAB and it looks like it can be done manually but a couple of the CABs I have are pretty big with a ton of files.

Thanks!
Joe

Hey!

I'd recommend going on to ppckitchen.org and downloading their ppckitchen Kitchen. Once you download the application, run the update (if you're running Vista, you'll want to run that as an admin) which will download several rar files containing OEMs and ROM files. Be patient, they're big.

Once updated, navigate to the Kitchen install directory (mine is in C:\Program Files\PPCkitchen.org\BuildOS) and copy the OEM RAR files from the Kitchens directory to new location. I'd recommend the core, PPCKitchen_OEM, Carrier and Generic files as they contain most of what you'll be looking for.

Now, unrar the files and take the OEMs you want to your usual kitchen file (I use DCD 3.2.6). Be aware that some OEMs will not work with some ROMs and wil crash the BuildOS, so experiment and see what works for you. Also, take a look inside the PPCKitchen app (pay respect to the Master Chef) and see if the OEMs you want don't require prerequisite OEMs to be installed.

Voilá... dinner's served.

Hope this helps.

As for the CAB OEMizing, never done that, I pretty much scavenged everything I need. Maybe someone else can help us both.

Thanks! I did all that already but I'm in "learning" mode right now so I wanted to try a bunch of different things out... one of which was creating OEM files from cabs.

This is what you need. Its great! Turns CAB's into OEM's. Its what I use in my kitchens and ROMs.
