Looking for infomation regarding cooking roms

[garymeg]

Hi to all chefs,

I am looking for as much info on rom cooking as possible as to understand the process that is happening,

what i want to know is when the batch file is run this launches other commands could somebody please explain what is happening behind the scenes

when the buildos runs it processes all the files into a temp folder,
now my most important question is,

when building up the registry, what is the order that the files are processed, by dsm filename? package filename?

also when are the mxip_******.provxml files processed (reg esttings added to the registry and in what order

how is the best way to add a custom mxip_****.provxml to garantee my setting don't get changed,

also if there is enough useful answers posted, i will edit this post to make a time-line in post2 to help others new to cooking there own roms,

then infos wanted for timeline are the background into whats happening in each program launched (buildos,nbhtool etc) from pressing the cook batch file through to windows being flashed and autorun kicking in, sdautorun if exists, then the end would be the final reset and windows ready to use,

hope you will make useful answers
many thanks.

1. the *buildos*.exe generates logfile with order
2. you can minimize the number of dsm-files/packages by your self.
i.e OEM, Packages and SYS to one dsm/rgu/provxml


also when are the mxip_******.provxml files processed (reg esttings added to the registry and in what order

mxipCOLD at coldboot (first time/only one time)
mxipUPDATE at resets (allways)

how is the best way to add a custom mxip_****.provxml to garantee my setting don't get changed,

"your device will ... in 3 seconds ... 2 seconds"

also if there is enough useful answers posted, i will edit this post to make a time-line in post2 to help others new to cooking there own roms,

these are not usefull answers, but iam to tired for details but i cant write nothing ... :-)

then infos wanted for timeline are the background into whats happening in each program launched (buildos,nbhtool etc) from pressing the cook batch file through to windows being flashed and autorun kicking in, sdautorun if exists, then the end would be the final reset and windows ready to use,

generaly the kitchen/device that you use and/or how much detaild you have cooking-knowns will determines the order.

I Know very little, i can take a rom add packages and rebuild, thats my limit, i want to create this thread so i can better understand what is happening, edit files, make sure my edits dont get changed later during the setup process, I would think this applies to most devices (i have a diamond and also Artemis) the kitchen i use is the modifyed kiaser kitchen as when i was modding artemis i found a simular kitchen for that device and a lot of my packages were reused.

[okokur]

for extracting artemis i use the hypercore-kitchen. but for cooking i changed to ARTEMIS_DEV_v2.1_Build_19199-kitchen. the reason is, that the file-structure in hypercore dismis/damages my brain.

for diamond i use the "kitchen"-kitchen (orig. download filename was kitchen.rar).

ohh, its ringing, so i have end again ...

p.s.
study the system.txt inclusive the batch-files together with the batch-files from "kitchen"-kitchen.
