[Kitchen] [Nov 6th, 2008] NATF the Kitchen: AT&T and HTC Editions

NATF: the Kitchen
Please Read The Entire Thread Before Posting A Question.

This kitchen is based around the original KaiserKitchen. All the ingredients used in the v5 Final versions of my Kaiser ROM series are included.

Step 1: Download which build you want to work with.

KaiserKitchen - AT&T 3.57 OEM with 20755 ROM and SYS (http://rapidshare.com/files/161357561/NATF_s_Kitchen_Files__v5_AT_T__11-05-2008_.rar)
KaiserKitchen - HTC 3.28 OEM with 20755 ROM and SYS (http://rapidshare.com/files/161362084/NATF_s_Kitchen_Files__v5_HTC__11-05-2008_.rar)


Step 2: CAB Files

NATF's CAB Collection (http://rapidshare.com/files/161357563/NATF_Customized_CAB_Files.rar)
(NOTE: I did NOT create these CAB files. The original author information remains intact, but they have been edited to create shortcuts inline with the layout of my ROMs)


Step 3: OEM Packages

NATF's Customized OEM Packages (http://rapidshare.com/files/161357564/NATF_Customized_Packages.rar)
(NOTE: I created most of these packages myself from CAB files found all over XDA and the internet)


If this is your first foray into ROM cooking, please visit Alex's Cooking Wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Cooking) and take advantage of the numerous tutorials available.

There are some duplicate packages in the archive (some are for the HTC build, and some are for the AT&T build). Make sure that you are not selecting any duplicates.

i'm not, its just attempting to load the packages so that i can select them. when i click ok on the error message it shows some of the packages but its not even half of them. i'm not sure what i did wrong. i've attempted cooking before and i looked at alex's tutorial and it shows that you put the OEM packages into a folder simply called packages which is what i did.

edit: i just tried to select my packages again, and it only loaded 14 of the 38 packages.

Todd, thank you for this great contribution to the community. Your work here will truly be missed when you move on to the Fuze!

Make sure you are running G'reloc immediately prior to launching the KaiserKitchen.cmd file. You do not need to change any values, just click Do It, and wait about 15 seconds.

You are correct that all you need is a folder named Packages in the same location as OEM, ROM, and SYS. Which packages are you trying to cook in? Maybe a list will help narrow down the problem.

Alternatively, you can bring up the search box when inside the Packages folder, and search for "*.rgu". Then sort them by name, and make sure they all have unique names. If they do, then search for all "option.xml" files, and open them up. Check that the GUID IDs inside them are all unique.

If you have to go to the XML step, I recommend downloading and installing Notepad++. It is a freeware Notepad replacement that allows you to open RGU, XML, and PROVXML files in 1 tabbed window.

That's really a nice gift.
Thank you very much indeed.

Nice work NATF!!!

I love seeing people open up their kitchens & allowing others to improve or add to them as they see fit! It the sharing of knowledge that makes the XDA community possible & improves it.

I commend you on your open roms & making them easy to moddify & disassemble. We would be much further along in dicovering the ultimate potential of WM devices if more people approached the developmental & hacking tasks as you do. You are a definite asset to our community! :D

Nice to see more updated kitchens popping up with more & more options!

ok i figured out the problem, on my own even! :) there were 4 packages that were conflicting.

Package - HTC Home 2.1.1005.722 (ATT - Disabled by Default)
and
Package - HTC Home 2.1.1005.722 (ATT - Enabled by Default)

Package - NATF Reg Tweaks (ATT)
and
Package - NATF Reg Tweaks (HTC)

Somehow those 2 sets of conflicting packages were causing several other packages to fail loading as well.

That's what I mean by multiple packages with identical GUIDs. Because I would never use 2 HTC Home packages in the same ROM, I mirrored the folder and then modified the RGU files as needed. As you can tell from the names, the first package was used for ROMs that contained HTC Home, but did not enable it by default.

As for the Reg Tweaks, the only difference between the two is that the AT&T one has the keys needed to remap the Tilt's keyboard.

ohhhhh!!!! ok! i gotcha now! ;)

by the way, i forgot to say thanks for the release! i loved using the roms, and once i get this cooking thing figured out, i'm sure i'll really enjoy this too! by the way, is there a certain radio that you can recommend to use with this kitchen and any rom that might come out of it?

I never distributed my ROMs with a radio. Since reception can vary so dramatically from location to location, I just pointed people to AllTheWay's Ultimate Radio Thread.

On a personal note, I was using Neon 1.58.25.17 from the day it was posted, and never had a reason to dislike it.

TreoFan! You are a god.

I am glad that we have chefs willing to share their builds. This community is about sharing not gross profit! :)

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here - I've read the tutorials and watched the screencasts, but i'm having problems. I put all my packages in a folder named packages, ran G'Reloc before running KaiserKitchen, and I'm getting errors. The error says "Double package or .DSM found! copying only from packages folder." Could it be because I used Cab2OEM to create some of my oem packages? I went through and made sure all the RGU's hade unique names and that the options.xml had the same GUID in it. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure that you only put the packages you want to cook in the Packages folder.

If you are using any of my packages, then make sure you don't have any duplicates. For example, I have several HTC Home packages, but since I only ever use one, I did not give each of them a unique GUID or RGU.

I only put about 10 packages in the Packages folder, and made sure each was unique. Could it be anything else?

I'm having the same problems with packages not showing (only listing about 30 out of 50+).

Nice work on the kitchens. Thought i'd give them a whirl and used both for my personal ROM.

I experienced some weird issues with the ATT ROM: the backlight wouldn't work, sporadic freezing right after a reset (which i suspect could be from M2D), and screen freezes (which i'm aware that is usually caused by spl, however don't think it's the case right now).

I then decided to switch over to the HTC one and check that out and had the same problems. The freezing after soft resets (which causes yet another soft reset) and sporadic freezes have led me to think that it could be because of M2D possibly? I'm running SPL v3.28 which should run great on HTC ROMs (as i've used it in the past on my own ROMs). Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

I've never run into freezes in the manner you're describing. I would only see 1-2 freezes a day. They would last for less for less then 3 seconds, and never right after a reset.

Which SPL are you on? Also, dpad buttons tend to stop working. All of the problems i've mentioned have been usually SPL related however the HTC ROMs should run fine with SPL 3.28.

I was using 3.29.Hard2 by cmonex. Never had any issues with it.
