Multi-Carrier Kitchen's & Rom's - Diamond /&\ Manila2d Flavors

[rstoyguy]

*...Before Flashing this Rom or Using the Kitchen...*

You MUST be:
- Unlocked with the 2.31 unlocker,
- Upgraded your RADIO to 3.42.xx by flashing
RUU_Vogue_BM_WWE_3.09.666.1_Radio3.42.50_Ship.exe
and skip customizations!!!
(I've found this to be the best for me...)



Insert bold colored disclaimer here about how it is not my fault
if you mess up your phone
or
lose sleep
after reading this tutorial...

If you mess it up...Always Remember:

Power, Camera, Hole...Flash FULL Stock Rom Package. Start Over...



What's in this basekit:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
These is my Custom version of Carrier Roms. Each Stock Rom was taken and customized with the semi-same components to give you a fairly clean Diamondish Rom. This rom is NOT based on the PPCkitchen, it was built using DogGuys kitchen. This Rom is not protected and you may customize it if U wish by using the tutorials in my e-Signature at the end of my post. Steps on installing this kitchen and links to the indivudual tutorials are in post #2.

This Rom is a clean Diamond-Skinned one. WHY??? How many of you want SprintTV, or the Bell or Sprint Music store to work on your rom? How many of you want a clean stock rom base to build off of? This is intended to be a stock base for new/existing chefs to build off of. These are all free components! I do not mind you using my base, and I do not mind you sharing your modifications w/other users, but if I hear ya begging for donations and your using my creation/free stuff.... In my opinion, it's just not right people...

Thanks goes out to DogGuy (his kitchen), mchapman007 (his manila2d skins), PPCkitchen.org, PPCGeeks.com & it's users, and the usual folks!

[rstoyguy]

I have decided to open up my Kitchen and my Rom that I am currently using to the community! Even better, I've already customized a Kitchen specific to your Carrier! Below you will find instructions on how to install the pieces. This is a test to see if you are ready to work with a kitchen!

This Thread is open to questions concerning developing, I will answer any questions I can.

So lets get started!

*Before Using this Kitchen/Rom....*
You MUST be:
- Unlocked with the 2.31 unlocker,
- Upgraded your devices RADIO to at least v3.42.xx

Tutorial: Adding Registry Entries to your Rom (RGU Method) (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33527)
Yes, all these are used to almost their full potential in this rom!


Here are the following files you will need.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1 - Dogguy's Kitchen for the Vogue. (my Kitchen of choice) http://www.sendspace.com/file/44mfsl
2 - Your stock rom. Preferably direct from HTC!
3 - Your carriers OEM directory from the above links to add into the kitchen.


Here are the steps needed to get up and running...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1. Download and install my kitchen, well, ok, it's DogGuy's Kitchen!
2. Extract and decompile your donor Stock ROM
3. Run Prepit.bat to create kitchen files.
4. Delete the ..\Kitchen\OEM directory
5. Insert my ..\Kitchen\OEM directory
6. Perform some optional modifications in the ..\Kitchen\SYS directory.
7. Start having sleepness nights packed with fun!!!!!


1. Download and install my kitchen, well, ok, it's DogGuy's Kitchen!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Extract Vogue_Kitchen_Tools.rar to it's own directory. Create a directory, and extract the contents to that directory. It will create the kitchen structure when you extract it. I will refer to this directory as "..\kitchen" throughout this thread.
If you need help...Are you ready for this???


2. Extract and decompile your donor Stock ROM
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Download the above file from this link to this thread. Right click on it and open w/WinRar or WinZip. Inside the archive there should be two different *.nbh files. Copy the larger of the two into the directory where you extracted the kitchen to. Now close your archiver of choice.


3. Run Prepit.bat to create kitchen files.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Click on PrepIt.bat from file explorer to decompile your carrier ROM of choice. This will take a couple of minutes, and when it tells you that it is finished, close the window and now you have your base rom. You can start here, but I have made many of the modifications for you already.


4. Delete the ..\Kitchen\OEM directory
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
That's right. Delete the ..\Kitchen\OEM directory. The one you will insert in Step 5 will have all the components/modifications you will need to get started. This is gonna marry up all the OEM modifications I have done for you into the SYS portion of the stock rom.


5. Insert my ..\Vogue Kitchen\OEM directory
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Extract my OEM from the link into the ..\Kitchen directory.


6. Perform some optional modifications in the ..\Vogue Kitchen\SYS directory.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Here is what I did to the ..\Kitchen\SYS directory on my machine.
I delete the following Directories:
..\Kitchen\SYS\WelcomeCenter
..\Kitchen\SYS\WelcomeCenter_Lang_0409
..\Kitchen\SYS\SampleMusic

In order for the custom Today Theme to work, you MUST DELETE: ..\SYS\Shell\mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml


7. Start having sleepness nights packed with fun!!!!!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
To start, run ..\Kitchen\BuildOS.exe, and then ..\Kitchen\BuildIt.bat to create your flashable RUU_Signed.nbh in the ..\Kitchen\RUU directory. Now you are ready to flash, check out your new base rom to see the modifications you would like to make!

Notes on using the RSTG_Generic_OEM_V1.09.10 Package
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
A big thanks goes out to ppckitchen.org! I sorta borrowed em to make it all work...
I used the bell mobility rom, it looked more generic than most of the others. If you are using this Generic OEM package, then just select your carrier in BuildOs, that's it! I tested this with Sprint and it works fine. There are some missing items, but your phone will work with these carriers. I will not be uploading NBH packages for these, so you'll have to cook your own! Just don't expect your carrier specific items (gps, sms, music store, etc...) to work "out of the box". It's a kitchen, add some salt from this thread, pepper from that thread, and oregeno from that other site, and work on it until you get it to work! And don't forget to share!


My Notes on my_OEM_Packages....
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
With this rom I have basically used it to further my knowledge of my tutorials.

--- The Rom sounds are modifed to suite me. The files are in ..\OEM\zzz_My_Sounds_OEM. Check out the initflashfiles.txt to see how I move them, and the RGU file to see the registry settings.

--- My regedits that I added are in ..\OEM\zzz_My_Registry_OEM. The regedits are in the RGU file and can be edited with notepad.exe in Windows Vista/XP.

--- My misc files that I added are in ..\OEM\zzz_My_Files_OEM. The files in this OEM include the banners for the initial bootup and an updated audiopara.csv for the 3.xx roms. Thanks to Deegimus!

--- I prepare the device's Today Screen in ..\Kitchen\OEM\zzz_My_TodayScreen_OEM. This contains the registry edits in the RGU file that are necessary to remove the Items from the Today Screen. Thats it!

--- I organized the device's Start Menu in ..\Kitchen\OEM\zzz_My_Start_Menu_OEM. This contains the file movement commands from ..\Kitchen\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat. I essentially moved them to this OEM's initflashfiles.txt file. You can look in here and get a feeling for how I did it.

DO NOT REMOVE THE FOLLOWING ENTRY THINKING IT IS THE WELCOME CENTER!!!
IT WILL CAUSE YOUR DEVICE NOT TO BOOT!!!
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("Welcome.lnk","\Windows\welcome.lnk")



My Thoughts on this...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Ok, this wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it was gonna be, 4-5 days for all this? But now everyone has another kitchen they can use to create custom Roms. I have done most of the hard work for you guys, so do enjoy! When I said I would support this, I meant I will help support you with rom building. Since I have Sprint, I can help you more there. My area of expertise is rom building, I can't really help you with your GPS not working, or you can't use it in Tuskalewwago. For that I'm leaning on the users of PPCGeeks to help out with the different carriers. I appreciate conflipper stepping up and helping with the gps and alltel, and I hope he get's back with an answer. But the point of this project was to give everyone a non-generic rom base to build with. Diamond has been popular so I picked it.

...you guys and gals sure don't have many questions...

Ok, there is my first xda release...
