[KITCHEN+ROM][WWE]Stock Diamond 2.03 Kitchen & Rom ported with 21042XIP/SYS (Online)

[shaks1979]

I've seen a few requests for kitchen's & rom's based on 21042 XIP/SYS so I decided to knock one up using the 2.03MRII 2.03.401.3 base and XIP/SYS from 21042 build.

This kitchen & rom is currently completely stock. Nothing removed from the OEM & SYS folders, no tweaks no addon programs just standard diamond build with newer core.

The only extra included which isn't in the original stock rom is remote desktop mobile (came with the sys not an extra) which of course you can remove from the kitchen if you wish. As it's the new sys it obviously contains the newer builds of MS apps including Windows live. Also this does not have the newer version of IE, just standard version.

Keyboard currently supports English, French, German, Greek, Italian & Spanish t9 however this should be updatable with the 14 language patch available elsewhere.

The kitchen is bepe platformrebuilder in almost stock form. No extra tools except for it runs htc rom tool to build the nbh file at the end.

XIP is not changed in anyway except updated msxipkernel & msxipkernelltk from 21042. No pagepool patching, cert patching or time/date/name changes. os.nb.payload size is reduced in the kitchen however this has no bearing on the final rom.

As this uses bepe's platformrebuilder, if you wish to change the date, build, pagepool, cert patching in the kitchen directly, these need to be done on nk.exe in the oemxipkernel. Any changes made to os.nb.payload (except uldr) will not be carried forward to the final rom as the nk.exe will overwrite changes to the payload. The payload itself is not ported so if you extract this and replace the msxipkernel folders then you will be back to a 20764 xip. There is no need to port the payload as replacing the msxipkernel & ltk folder in the xip folder properly ports the xip anyway if you are using bepe's kitchen (surface kitchen does not work properly in this way)

Also any rom's built with this tool are automatically locked as the kitchen deletes rgu's & dsm's from the cooked rom for space saving and performance. The files are extractable but then all you get is a dump of the files, without being able to seperate to packages.

Hope this helps some of you out there.

Also on the link there will be a stock diamond rom built from this kitchen - entirely stock but with latest xip/sys - even .netcf is still v2.0 that's how stock it is. It does however have more storage memory as it is cooked - original has 82Mb total and 57 available - this has 102Mb in total and 75+Mb free. Using the kitchen you could make a rom with alot more free space however.

I would recommend atleast upgrading .netcf to 3.5 in this rom if you are lightly cooking. Package for this is available on the forum

If you release a rom using this kitchen, please do not forget to credit the source. ;);)

Shaks.P Roms are free and always will be. If you like my Roms optionally send me a drink here:

Basic Tutorial

As the rom is already ported & extracted, all you need to do is make your modifications then build the rom.

Step 1. Modify the sys & oem folders with the packages that you need. Make a backup of any folders you delete in case they cause issues with anything else.

Step 2. Once you are happy with the modifications, run build_rom.bat. This will create the os_new.nb file in the root of the kitchen folder. Once this is done, it will load the htc rom tool that builds & signs the final nbh file.

Step 3. Once the htc rom tool loads, select Build!, Change the version to anyversion you would like (this version only shows up when flashing). Under system, click on ... and select the os_new.nb file that has just been created. Then click on Build! ROM and this will ask where to save the nbh file and the name. Save as diamimg.nbh if you want to flash thru internal storage or any other name you like if using customruu.

Step 4. Ensure your device has hardspl, then flash the rom you just built either using custom ruu or using the internal storage method. If it doesn't work, you can allways flash another rom after getting the device in bootloader mode.

It's uploading at the moment. It is a seperate kitchen & a rom as well. You can make whatever type of rom you wish to with this. Just mention the original source if you release it.

The rom is if you want a stock rom with the new build. Looks like you need the kitchen. Should all be uploaded in next 15-20 mins. Had to start the upload again.

[BlazerRazor]

Thanks shaks!
Not only do you provide the best ROM around, but now also a kitchen, you rock!

[Dynomite232]

(EDIT)
so does this mean your not going to build any more Roms or ?

This is just something I felt like doing for today. The kitchen won't get updated much (probably not at all as it's not modified). The roms will continue but will be going for the long release cycles again just like 3.20. I envisage I will probably have one more release and if that doesn't have issues then no more flashing till something big happens again (maybe stable tachi rom comes)

This kitchen is so stock that it can't replace my rom without alot of work - no tweaks, extra packages or anything for that matter except what comes in the stock as that's what some people wanted and I thought it won't take long so I did it.

P.S sorry for the delay with the upload. Having some issues

Well 3.20 was a damn good, stable, time tested rom. I know a few people who won't change from it at all. Tested the latest but went back to it because they preferred it. 4.x series are a little bit more experimental but still go for the same stability. Next release should take of that small percentage who have corrupt memory/hard reset issues hopefully but I don't expect a big changelog as 4.10 is otherwise fine.

Should the bluetooth work well with this rom?
Thanks!

[shaks1979]

Should the bluetooth work well with this rom?
Thanks!

Shouldn't be an issue - I use the same sys/xip in my rom without any issues with bluetooth.

Kitchen now online

Rom uploading now. I found if I tried to upload both at the same time, it kept stopping part way!

hi shaks when u say Modify the sys & oem folders meaning i can delete what i dont want and so on

[shaks1979]

That's right - delete what you don't want, modify rgu's for packages, add your own packages e.g. using ervius package creator to turn a cab into a package or use a package already provided. You'll get lets of cooking help from here (talks about surface kitchen but basic concept the same):

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413782

Add your own packages into the OEM folder.

[pifpif]

Downloading... In the meantime thank you!

[Dynomite232]

Add this package to your oem folder for 14 languages & edit the line in the rgu to specify languages you want

[Dynomite232]

I have cooked a ROM without changing enything from the kitchen file and i flashed it without any problem in the PDA.

I have tried to cooked again the ROM without change again anything in another PC and the after the flash the screen froze in the beginging (RGB show settings)

Then i tried again from the first PC and again the same problem.

Maybe there is a limitation or something..... wrong with the attributes of the file?
Somewhere i have read about the attributes problems but i don't know....

Maybe something is corrupt on your device. Try flashing a real stock rom from htc then flashing back again.

Hi shaks,

I just want to say thank you for your work. I used this kitchen as base to make my own customized ROM. Thank you.

[kski71]

Is this GSM only? Thanks.

[shaks1979]

Is this GSM only? Thanks.

Most definitely gsm only - do not try on cdma

Hi shaks,

seems like u only provide original stock kitchen (un-modify).

actually i hope u can provide the kitchen that u have modify in 4.20. (Yes include those tweaks/pagepool/extra appz/etc...)

i guess releasing the modify kitchen will be better for beginners, they will be able to learn cooking rom by start off with removing extra appz they do not want.

=).. hope u can release the modify ver. of ur 4.20 kitchen. thanks.

Hi shaks,

do you know any reason why I can't install properly HTC Menu and Notification Enhancement to this ROM? I'm not able to make them work... :(

[Phat7]

Hi all. I'm new to cooking and have been reading and downloading stuff. Please don't beat up if my question is noobish.

I have downloaded this kitchen and extracted it to a folder. If I want to remove and add stuff where do I do that? Do I just delete and add folders from OEM/ROM/SYS folders? Any other settings that I need to be aware of, like the GoogleMaps and config_AP.txt example in previous pages?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Promise to build good roms and try my best to get good at this :)

You'll probably only want to add/remove stuff from OEM/SYS, and even then you should probably only add to OEM (replacing things like NetCF in the SYS is advisable).

If you remove cabs, such as GoogleMaps, you'll need to update the config_**.txt files, but other than that, simply replacing packages should work :)

Hi shaks,

as you said I checked again the files from SYS.
Now I'm sure the SYS files in this ROM haven't been changed to build 21042, all comes from SYS folder of some previous build....

You are barking up completely the wrong tree. This is a genuine 21042 build same as used in my release rom.
File size may vary depending on method of extraction but this is not a older build nor is it a hexed release. If you're not happy with this kitchen, simple, don't use it.

[averma]

Found out curtesy of Shaks, to get the menu enhancement working it has to be cooked in as a package, Try putting this into your OEM folder and should work
