Welcome and thank you for choosing my Kitchen! I can guarantee you that this will be the easiest kitchen you will EVER use. I can recommend this to beginner's everywhere! This kitchen is most definitely not just for beginners though. I built this kitchen from the scratch and I made it as simple organized and fast as possible. Once you try out my kitchen I promise you will never go back to any others. My kitchen has a full GUI meaning there is barely any command prompting you have to do. My kitchen is also 95% automated so all you have to do is point and click this is barely any work you have to do. The hardest thing you will do is create packages to use with my kitchen which really is rather easy.

Kitchen Information
Base Kitchen: eVirus Build OS 6.X-5.3
All other tools credit goes to the creator. I made the batch file and compiled the kitchen.

Paradox Kitchen V.2.0.0
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mvzm2bnmdnm
Kitchen is only 99mb because I had to do some extreme RAR compression to shrink it from 204mb. :) Enjoy!

Kitchen Installation
1. Download the Kitchen.
2. Extract the kitchen to anywhere you would like.
3. Click on the icon in the folder that has KI written on it.
4. Good Luck Cooking!

For Custom SYS
1. Do the above steps first.
2. Go into your kitchen folder delete the SYS folder.
3. Download a Paradox_SYS folder from below.
4. Extract the Paradox_SYS folder to desktop.
5. Rename the Paradox_SYS folder to SYS.
6. Cut and paste or copy and paste the SYS folder into your kitchen.
7. Enjoy! Consider Donating!

Configuring Kitchen
1. Open up kitchen.exe
2. Go to Main Menu (1)
3. Then to Kitchen Settings (6)
4. You can change the options there. This is how you get the SYS OEM and ROM folders to show and hide. :)

You May be wondering why you do not see a SYS, OEM , ROM or Tools folder. This is because this kitchen is also for beginners. Just go into kitchen options as I explain above and show the folders. This is to help newbies so they don't get overwhelmed or confused.

Windows Mobile 6.1

Paradox_SYS_21109
This build appears to be the latest, although I have heard rumors that it may be fake hence why I have been porting over other new builds I have found to the kaiser. Nevertheless this build is blazing fast and I use it for my ROMS Enjoy. :)

Tutorial!

Step 1
The First Step is to open up the Kitchen.exe
http://i43.tinypic.com/2mnrbep.png
Step 2
Then you will see the command line. Dont get scared! This is not as hard as it looks. I have done all the dirty work for you. Select 1 for the main menu.
http://i40.tinypic.com/if31og.png
Step 3
You will now see the Main Menu of my kitchen. Please select 1 to launch the kitchen.
http://i42.tinypic.com/11c8gtx.png
Step 4
Now BuildOS with eVirus tools will come up. This is where you will be compiling the ROM and selecting what goes into it.
http://i44.tinypic.com/9rofpv.png
Step 5
In the Top Left hand corner you will see "Load ROM" Please click that. You will now notice how all the packages in your kitchen will show up. Please select all the packages you would like in your ROM.
http://i44.tinypic.com/jj92px.png
Step 6
Now hit Go! The kitchen will start compiling the ROM now... It will say done when it is finished.
http://i43.tinypic.com/2ahi89f.png
Step 7
As you can see the ROM tool will automatically pop up when it is finished. Please select Kaiser from the drop down menu.
http://i43.tinypic.com/1znylab.png
Step 8
Please click the "..." Next to OS on the ROM tool. This will open the file browser to select the OS-new.nb file. It should automatically come up to the tools folder where you will see the OS-new.nb. This file is the ROM we just created in the previous steps. You are almost done!
http://i41.tinypic.com/iyhms5.png
Step 9
Once you have done that click Build!
http://i41.tinypic.com/21obqft.png
Step 10
A new file browser window will appear asking you what to call the file and save it as. Please save it as kaisimg.nbh This is very important to the kitchen so make sure you name it that.
http://i40.tinypic.com/2qda3w7.jpg
Step 11
Your ROM is now compiling into a flashable .nbh.
http://i41.tinypic.com/2lve4yb.png
Step 12
Exit out of the ROM tool when it is finished. The Pagepool patcher will now pop up.
http://i41.tinypic.com/2d1s01x.png
Step 13
Please select the kaisimg.nbh file you created to modify the page pool.
http://i40.tinypic.com/iqa7mc.png
Step 14
I would recommend 16 for the Pagepool but you can experiment with anything you like. I found 16 to have the best RAM and performance.
http://i42.tinypic.com/2h2mdkl.png
Step 15
After you have patched the pagepool exit out of it and bring up the command line we left open. Hit any key then go to next step.
Step 16
The command line will now copy the kaisimg.nbh to the flash folder and you will see this dialog asking if you would like to flash now or later. Congratulations you are finished! Sorry I am only allowed 16 images :(

good job Paradox,

except why did you compile the .bat file? I like to edit kitchens to my personal taste :)

other than that, good job ;)

Tutorial By Mrhayami

Alright first a quick question before I add another to this quick and easy tutorial for the Paradox kitchen, and it's directed at PARADOX: Does your kitchen already use the lzx compression?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the TUT. Since the Paradox kitchen is slightly different from the other kaiser kitchens out there you may run in to some trouble at first as to how to set up a few things since lets say the rom folder isn't filled with os.nb and all that jazz. Also the main reason I am doing this is because I have searched for weeks and tried many different ways of doing these modifications with no luck until I decided for the heck of it just to try. So the answers may be out there but I have not found them or at least any that worked, mainly for the icon removal and simple extended rom.

FIRST: 101.32mb RAM Hack

So for the most part for those who have ROMs that are already cooked and don't want to dump them there is a way! You can hex edit the payload file in the ROM folder it will work! As for making this automated I am unsure. So the initial question still stands is there a way to make this automated.

To do this in os.nb.payload simply do a hex search for 8234A013 and change the second instance of it to 8334A013, you can either do the second instance (there normally is only two) or you can do both instances, however I have not figured out if having them both does anything more than just that one does.

Thanks ANRYL, chavonbravo, and deepthroat for the hack and info!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second: Building a super simple Extended ROM

Yet again I searched for days with no real simple way for some reason maybe I just overlooked it. But instead of building and cooking it separately there is no need to when you can simply make a folder in the OEM dir. named "OperatorPKG" and have it auto install on the first boot up your tweaks and apps as well as customizations that weren't cooked in.

To do so simply make that folder or copy it from a dumped ship rom, take out everything but the "config_operator.txt." Now make a cab that you want to install and make sure that no user input is required make it "read only" and throw it in the folder as well as any other cabs you would like to install (I will not go into how to make a setup dll right now...sorry). Once that is completed you need to edit your config_operator.txt.
Mine is simple and you can use it as a template.

LOCK:Enabled
XML: \windows\mxip_e35374dc-feed-4e37-a5d3-32d3f9c2aac4.provxml
CAB: \Windows\Hayami Corp. EXTENDED_ROM.cab
RST: Reset

LOCK must be the first item in your config and you can choose whether or not to disable it.

XML is used as a guide for installing, moving, editing or removing items; mine for example removes registry keys, we will get to that later.

CAB is the cab file you wish to deploy.

RST is another command that must be present in the config and will reset your device when finished.

After you do all this simply make the files read only and cook! Make sure that your config and all other files are in that same folder I.E. the xml, cab and any other :D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third: Icon Removal and Editing

This will be some what of a continuation of the previous since here we will show you how to edit the registry with that xml file to remove...lets say some unwanted icons in the settings tab? Now I've been looking for some time as to how to hide some if not flat out remove them automatically using a cab or extended ROM but for some reason none worked for me (i.e hide=0, hide=1, (-) in front of the address and after the = for the values. So this is where google & MSDN helps!

Adding a Key and Values, and Modifying a Value Example taken from MSDN

This example adds a registry key (Registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3), adds values to the key, and then modifies one of the values (TestValue).
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3">
<parm name="TestValue" value="5" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="TestValueBoolean" value="1" datatype="boolean" />
<!-- boolean is stored as an integer in the registry -->
<parm name="TestValueFloat" value="3.14159" datatype="float" />
<!-- float is stored as a string in the registry -->
<parm name="TestValueString" value="testtesttest"
datatype="string" />
<parm name="TestValueDateTime1" value="10/20/01 3:55:04 pm"
datatype="date" />
<!-- date and time may be combined into a
single value using either date or time datatypes -->
<parm name="TestValueDateTime2" value="10/20/01 3:55:04 pm"
datatype="time" />
<parm name="TestValueString2"
value="string1&#xF000;string2&#xF000;string3&#xF000;&#xF000;" datatype="multiplestring" />
<!-- multiple strings are separated by &#xF000; -->
<!-- multiple strings are ended with two &#xF000; -->
<parm name="TestValueInteger"
value="5iAGkAbgBhAHIAeQAgAGIAbABvAGIA" datatype="binary" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

Deleting a Value Example taken from MSDN

This example deletes a value (TestValue) from a registry key (Registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3). <wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3">
<noparm name="TestValue" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

Deleting a Key, Values and Subkeys Example taken from MSDN

This example deletes a key (Registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3), including the associated values and subkeys, from a registry. <wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3"/>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>Here is my xml in my extended ROM that gets rid of the double icons in my settings window for things like the csd line which is now covered in the Advanced Network app.

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\ControlPanel\CSD Line Type"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\ControlPanel\GPRS Setting"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\ControlPanel\HSDPA"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCPL\0"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCPL\1"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCPL\10"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCPL\8"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic
type="HKLM\ControlPanel\SMS Service"/>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>Well that's it for now I'll post more on ez icon editing since some tuts here break the dll, app or mui.
Untill next time!

And thank you PARADOX for this lovely easy to use kitchen :3 I hope this helps other paradox kitchen users. More on the way as far as kitchen edits!

oh i see

why not use some of bepe's new tools to make it even easier? e.g. easy xip porting, no use for g'reloc, etc.

just a suggestion ;)

Ooh tell me more about these tools. I didnt know about them. Easy XIP porting sounds great tell me about that.

[TheParadox]

Who else has used my Kitchen I see 8 downloads so far....What do you guys think? :D

[mcq3000]

great kitchen

any way to have superram and super storage using your kitchen? thanks.

Hmm What are you talking about exactly? Be more specific and I will add if I know what you mean :)

[Nusferatu]

TheParadox:
mcq3000 talks about anryl's XIP , that gives us 100+ mb RAM and 150+ mb ROM

That how it look's in my ROM:

I will try to integrate into kitchen right now.... :)
*Where the hell does this file go? OEM?
*Talked to one of my good friends who is cook and he says it makes ROM slow over time so I will not use this.

[HTCOmega]

Ok, so this is going to sound completely noobish but I added packages to the Packages folder and no matter what I do I always end up w/ "packages.sof missing" when I try opening anything in the kitchen.

Idk, I made a few ROMs for the Apache before but for w/e reason I still stand stumped on the Kaiser builds. Thought this kitchen would be my break but I've run into yet another roadblock. Hope you can clear this up. It's very likely to be just my simple stupidity. =]

Thanks in advance! =D

No Problems bro. :) This Kitchen Is as simple as it gets. Did you make the packages with my kitchen? Download the Camera package on the front page and add it to the packages. Try that. Report your results back here.

[mbarvian]

I'd love to help you use bepe's tools, and automatically compress using the LZX algorithm (more IMGFS!) and the XIP hack (more RAM!). But I need your batch file (it's a little bit too much to explain).

[Nusferatu]

2mbarvian :
is there is any way to get LZX compression without using XVI32.exe and LZX.xsc preset,
or it is the only way?

And another one Q: mbarvian , can you please look up in anryl's kitchen thread. I have one really BIG problem, and don't know how to fix it...

2TheParadox :
About using 101mb XIP - i used it for nearly 14 days and have no troubles:
always have 65+ mb free ram (Pocket Player,SPB mobile shell 3 and so one loaded)
and speed is really great! (54mb on my previous screen 'couse TCMP and CorePlayer are running in the background)

u could do it by opening imgfs.bin wit a hex editor before imgfsfromdump inserts the files into it, but with XVI32.exe and LZX.xsc it is automated

i dont really understand your other question :confused:

[rush242]

Ditto. Can you be a bit more specific about how exactly to use this thing?

For example, step 3. Should the .zip file be renamed "SYS" and left as a zip, or extracted to a folder that should be named "SYS."

Neither way seems to work.

Extract the SYS folder. Make sure its a 6.1 build not 6.5 as my kitchen does not support it. Rename the Folder to SYS and put it in my kitchen it is very very simple. :) Hope that helps. If not report back with errors.

*Everyone I am working on another release of my kitchen a good size update :p

[TheParadox]

I just released version two of my kitchen! Rate it and tell your friends! Spread the word please! :D

[mbarvian]

I just released version two of my kitchen! Rate it and tell your friends! Spread the word please! :D

what's new in this version?

[TheParadox]

what's new in this version?
Alot. Mainly the batch file. Also I built in the SYS build and threw in some registry packages to get everyone going. :D

[swtaltima]

Youve mentioned many times that this is the best and easiest kitchen but i cannot find any detailed instruction on the process? Id love to cook my own roms but at least the first time would like some sort of written...detailed outline.

[TheParadox]

I suppose I could create a tutorial...:)

[TheParadox]

I have received a very negative little message from a member saying that I take credit for everything in this kitchen including the tools which I DO NOT. I find this very offensive and repulsive considering all the work I put into this kitchen to contribute to the community. So Please think about this before you ridicule me people. Thank you.

*Tutorial will be up soon!* :)

[TheParadox]

Tutorial is now up! This will be very easy now for all new cooks! ENJOY! :D:D:D

[anryl]

I will think about it :) Thanks for the offer but, I would like to try to fix it out first myself as I want al the credit for my kitchen. :D

Paradox_Kitchen.exe - permission from creator ? oh u forgot to hexedit the title :D

:D i'm speechless as for the other thingy u got in PM
hope u will contribute to this comunity and stop contributing to u EGO :D

[chrisrc1985]

i was browsing the wiki, as well as google, is there an in depth guide to cooking ROMs on that? I imagine its phone specific?
anyways if anyone knows where I can find manual for that please let me know.
Thanks,
also, this is a really good beginners cooking program, thanks for taking the time to build it! ...the GUI is VERY HELPFUL
only criticism is that since you are only allowed those 16 images, it kind of defeats the purpose of the chef being able to put what they would like, now its like the 'chef' will have to put what you pre loaded into the exe.

Paradox_Kitchen.exe - permission from creator ? oh u forgot to hexedit the title :D

Credentiality *****

:D i'm speechless as for the other thingy u got in PM
hope u will contribute to this comunity and stop contributing to u EGO :D
That was an example but alright....? I just renamed stuff to make it easy for new cooks so they dont get confused. Most new cooks are like " What the hell is eVirus buildOS. I didnt hex edit the title cause im not trying to take credit for those tools. And when I said take credit for my kitchen I only meant for the batch file and what I did. Why the hell would I try to say or take credit for masking BuildOS everyone knows I did not make it.

[TheParadox]

i was browsing the wiki, as well as google, is there an in depth guide to cooking ROMs on that? I imagine its phone specific?
anyways if anyone knows where I can find manual for that please let me know.
Thanks,
also, this is a really good beginners cooking program, thanks for taking the time to build it! ...the GUI is VERY HELPFUL
only criticism is that since you are only allowed those 16 images, it kind of defeats the purpose of the chef being able to put what they would like, now its like the 'chef' will have to put what you pre loaded into the exe.

The tutorial covers it all for my kitchen. :)

The tutorial covers it all for my kitchen. :)

yes, i am well aware of that..and it is a very good tutorial. However, I am also looking for a in depth tutorial where one can transition from newbie to not so newbie lol ;-)

lol my kitchen uses all the same tools that an advanced kitchen would. What are you trying to attempt sir?

[chrisrc1985]

to be able to add my own specific programs and cabs, rather then the ones that are preloaded. Also if i am correct, I believe there is a way to do it from a DOS screen?
sometimes i find that the hardest way to learn is the best way to learn :-)

[WatermelonSlim]

Has anyone tried this on Vista? The kitchen and tools I have been using won't run on my Vista box for some reason, so I have to use an old XP box. If this will run correctly on 32 bit Vista Home Premium it would be sweet. Can anyone verify (download link is down so I can't even download to test at the moment).

Either way, nice job Paradox. Pretty cool of you to put together a kitchen with a GUI for newbies, and a full tutorial.

Yes open up the DOS batch in the kitchen and go to kitchen settings and go to folder views and show the folders you want! Enjoy!

*Please read the front page next time as it tell you that. :) Just a friendly reminder. *

Thanks :) I didn't create the GUI though. A lot of people are getting all pissed at me cause they think I took credit for it but I honestly never did as you can see. I did make the tutorial and automate the whole kitchen process and made it very easy for new cooks to use. I don't understand why anryl would say Im doing this for an ego boost....Seriously. Im doing this to help everyone out since people helped me out. :) Anyways it is no ones business why I made this everyone should be thankful and not complain about this. Its free so don't complain.

just a litle SHOWOFF off u EGO HERE

is there a new LEAKER or some M$ competitor new Paradox_RELEASES comming SOON ? will be waiting for them !

Do we have here any competition ONGOING about RATING KITCHENS ?

dont take me wrong but this is or should be community helping to improve old htc kaiser
not showroom for better kitchen
too many coocks here all making secrets not sharing nothing new and taking credits for other people f@@g hard work (bepe,ervius,tadzio,cmonex, and many other GURU's here)

by the way if u still dont see u EGO look into to the mirror or on first page (Vogue , or this thread)

bye!

Sorry Anryl I do not mean to offend you. I respect you alot for your work and your legend status. I only ask for ratings to improve on it. And its your own personal opinion if you want to compile your batch file so other people can steal from it. Thats my hard work I own the BATCH FILE.

ok i use anryl's batch file as well as his ports for cooking roms, so i guess i am a theif :rolleyes: so if doing this makes me a theif, what does masking ervius's buildOS and removing his donation link and replacing it with yours make you? just some food for thought :)

[ai6908]

You sure dont want to get credit for other people's work, in the sense, the one who came up with this kitchen and cooking idea first. If you modify bat files and release it as your own, then you should ask permission from the person first.

I believe thats what some expert cooks do just a token of courtesy! This forum is all about sharing and helping other to learn what you know. But some people out here think, this is a money making forum!

This was not this community used to be a few yrs ago, its sad that this has turned out this way.

No offense to anyone, but this is my two cents! Peace!!:D

How about we not post the fu*king source. Who said you could post my source mate? You have no permission.

*I am removing my kitchen. I getting tired of the crap I have received and now people sharing the source. :(:mad:*

[TheParadox]

I removed the download link and may have the thread closed. I spent alot of hardwork on this and everyone has trashed me. I do not appreciate it.

[ruizit0]

lol .. no comments! :s

[TheParadox]

I released the source for the batch enjoy!

Does anyone want development on this kitchen to continue? :rolleyes:

Yes, please
I'm just starting cooking an like your kitchen.
Paradox any way to get your base rom (Clean)

I tried cleaning up the one supplied but I can't get rid of the

touchflo link under settings. I cleaned it up well but stuck as where to get yet of this dead icon.

Are you referring to my ROM?

[DJ_MiX]

no, the one I cooked using the base rom already in your kitchen.

anyway I found the base sys roms, it was listed on the 1st page

sys 21042, and newer. so ignore problems for now I will use the base rom from the mediafire links.
hopefully I will be able to share my cooked rom using your kitchen in a few weeks.

Good luck! Once your like 2-3months+ of cooking you can move to bepes kitchen which is more advanced. For now use my kitchen its a good learning process and its vital to learn the basics before you go to the next level. Consider my kitchen the base of your cooking experince and you can move up to bepes kitchen once you have mastered my kitchen. Good luck! :D;)

[DJ_MiX]

Paradox, hope you can help me on this one see pic..
How do I remove the touchflo icon, I want it gone since clicking on it does nothing. This happen when cleaning up your base rom in your kitchen.

Alright first a quick question before I add another to this quick and easy tutorial for the Paradox kitchen, and it's directed at PARADOX: Does your kitchen already use the lzx compression?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the TUT. Since the Paradox kitchen is slightly different from the other kaiser kitchens out there you may run in to some trouble at first as to how to set up a few things since lets say the rom folder isn't filled with os.nb and all that jazz. Also the main reason I am doing this is because I have searched for weeks and tried many different ways of doing these modifications with no luck until I decided for the heck of it just to try. So the answers may be out there but I have not found them or at least any that worked, mainly for the icon removal and simple extended rom.

FIRST: 101.32mb RAM Hack

So for the most part for those who have ROMs that are already cooked and don't want to dump them there is a way! You can hex edit the payload file in the ROM folder it will work! As for making this automated I am unsure. So the initial question still stands is there a way to make this automated.

To do this in os.nb.payload simply do a hex search for 8234A013 and change the second instance of it to 8334A013, you can either do the second instance (there normally is only two) or you can do both instances, however I have not figured out if having them both does anything more than just that one does.

Thanks ANRYL, chavonbravo, and deepthroat for the hack and info!

RAM HACK here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3717253&postcount=125)
found by deepthroat made by chavonbravo and cmonex for polaris and found the right spot for kaiser by ervius applied by ANRYL and spread the word to masses :p
HEX rom 3.34 nk.exe s000
514e8: 8234A013 to 8334A013 :lol: - end off ram 82000000 to 83000000
HEX-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second: Building a super simple Extended ROM

Yet again I searched for days with no real simple way for some reason maybe I just overlooked it. But instead of building and cooking it separately there is no need to when you can simply make a folder in the OEM dir. named "OperatorPKG" and have it auto install on the first boot up your tweaks and apps as well as customizations that weren't cooked in.

To do so simply make that folder or copy it from a dumped ship rom, take out everything but the "config_operator.txt." Now make a cab that you want to install and make sure that no user input is required make it "read only" and throw it in the folder as well as any other cabs you would like to install (I will not go into how to make a setup dll right now...sorry). Once that is completed you need to edit your config_operator.txt.
Mine is simple and you can use it as a template.

LOCK:Enabled
XML: \windows\mxip_e35374dc-feed-4e37-a5d3-32d3f9c2aac4.provxml
CAB: \Windows\Hayami Corp. EXTENDED_ROM.cab
RST: Reset

LOCK must be the first item in your config and you can choose whether or not to disable it.

XML is used as a guide for installing, moving, editing or removing items; mine for example removes registry keys, we will get to that later.

CAB is the cab file you wish to deploy.

RST is another command that must be present in the config and will reset your device when finished.

After you do all this simply make the files read only and cook! Make sure that your config and all other files are in that same folder I.E. the xml, cab and any other :D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third: Icon Removal and Editing

This will be some what of a continuation of the previous since here we will show you how to edit the registry with that xml file to remove...lets say some unwanted icons in the settings tab? Now I've been looking for some time as to how to hide some if not flat out remove them automatically using a cab or extended ROM but for some reason none worked for me (i.e hide=0, hide=1, (-) in front of the address and after the = for the values. So this is where google & MSDN helps!

Adding a Key and Values, and Modifying a Value Example taken from MSDN

This example adds a registry key (Registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3), adds values to the key, and then modifies one of the values (TestValue).
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3">
<parm name="TestValue" value="5" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="TestValueBoolean" value="1" datatype="boolean" />
<!-- boolean is stored as an integer in the registry -->
<parm name="TestValueFloat" value="3.14159" datatype="float" />
<!-- float is stored as a string in the registry -->
<parm name="TestValueString" value="testtesttest"
datatype="string" />
<parm name="TestValueDateTime1" value="10/20/01 3:55:04 pm"
datatype="date" />
<!-- date and time may be combined into a
single value using either date or time datatypes -->
<parm name="TestValueDateTime2" value="10/20/01 3:55:04 pm"
datatype="time" />
<parm name="TestValueString2"
value="string1&#xF000;string2&#xF000;string3&#xF000;&#xF000;" datatype="multiplestring" />
<!-- multiple strings are separated by &#xF000; -->
<!-- multiple strings are ended with two &#xF000; -->
<parm name="TestValueInteger"

Deleting a Key, Values and Subkeys Example taken from MSDN

This example deletes a key (Registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\TestKey3), including the associated values and subkeys, from a registry. <wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic

</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>Here is my xml in my extended ROM that gets rid of the double icons in my settings window for things like the csd line which is now covered in the Advanced Network app.

Untill next time!

And thank you PARADOX for this lovely easy to use kitchen :3 I hope this helps other paradox kitchen users. More on the way as far as kitchen edits!

Are you sure? Because I've checked everything I dl with multiple av programs and spyware as well as firewalls. My XP is clean :D Also you shouldn't post without a log so people can see what files or at least proof that it did find it in the paradox kitchen pack.

Chill out :cool:.
Many of the tools used in Kitchens are packed executables that some AV software pickup as false positives.

Why not chuck the infected file onto TotalVirus.com and see for yourself before posting in big letters.

I agree with you Dave. One exception---a high quality AV program does not give the false positives that occur with some free av products on the tools in the kitchen. I happen to work for one of the biggies--running our stuff and i do NOT get that on any of the tools in the kitchen. Your suggestion to use another tool to check the file is spot on!

[TheParadox]

Yeah my Kitchen Is Virus Free! No Spyware. No Adware. No Trojans.

[TheParadox]

Ditto. Can you be a bit more specific about how exactly to use this thing?

For example, step 3. Should the .zip file be renamed "SYS" and left as a zip, or extracted to a folder that should be named "SYS."

Neither way seems to work.

The folder should be named SYS. The folder should not be compressed either? (If you have any experience with computers you would understand that you decompress the folder your working with)

[mrhayami]

Hey everyone since this is a EZ to use kitchen geared towards beginners like myself I have decided to work on the kitchen a bit since it is open source. The hope is to help users do this hands free but also give a tutorial on how to do this so there is knowledge gained. I will post later on when it is finished and if that is alright with Paradox of course.

So far:
--------------------
1. Auto UPX Compression with options to make a backup of the OEM & Packages folder should something go wrong.

2. Auto 101.32MB RAM hack also with options to backup os.nb.payload.

3. Fixed the links to the kitchen tools so "More Tools" can be used to manually launch frequently used apps.

STILL TESTING auto LZX compression option.

Thats 100% alright with me. Feel free to modify and hack up the kitchen. :D Good Work my friend.

[mrhayami]

Alright here are some edits, The 101MB RAM hack is automated when cooking now if you choose to enable it via the main menu. The UPX compression works however use at your own risk since some oem packages have folders named "*.exe" and this will mess them up, which is why I added the backup feature. The "More Tools" menu now works properly. I still have not figured out the LZX for this kitchen, and there may not be a way. I will keep trying and bring you updates if I can. So enjoy :3

NOTE: For the RAM hack to work you must download the files attached and place it in your "tools" folder adding the 101ram.xcs and overwriting the Create_ROM_For_Kaiser.bat.

Alrighty!! I have some news!

1. I will be making my own kitchen with new gui.
2. Before I do I will be making some edits to allow the LZX I figured it out. :D Thanks to some help from ivanmj.

....The 101MB RAM hack is automated when cooking now if you choose to enable it via the main menu.

I am relatively new to ROM cooking, and your statement was rather confusing to me because I couldn't see the 101 MB Hack choice in the 'dos like' menu of the Kitchen. I eventually realized that in addition to copying the two files that you describe above, one is also required to copy the batch instructions that you showed us above and create a new batch file (text file with extension bat) that contains the batch instructions.

I suggest you add a 3rd file to the files you tell people to download; one of which would be the kitchen batch file. That would make the process more straight forward to beginners like myself.

Well that is why the code was included to simply copy and paste into notepad and be saved, but I do see your point.

Hi mrhayami,

I am moving to another kitchen because the Paradox Kitchen doesn't offer very many choices when it comes to customization of the ROM.

I found that Alex's kitchen is very well documented and has quite a bit of customization features available. However I can't find the 101 Hack.

So I have two questions which I hope you can help me to answer.

1) How can I apply the 101 MB Hack to a kitchen that doesn't have it enabled already. If you can please point me to a document that shows how to go about it.

2) Is there any drawback in applying the 101 MB hack? I haven't been able to find any documents explaining where the additional MB's are coming from. What is the drawback of applying the 101 MB hack. Are programs removed, or something like that?

Thanks for helping me answer these questions.

[OndraSter]

1) How can I apply the 101 MB Hack to a kitchen that doesn't have it enabled already. If you can please point me to a document that shows how to go about it.

Just overwrite nk.exe with 101MB one and add MEMFIX.

And where does it come from? I guess it gives less kernel space when booting, but not sure, that will know someone else.

Originally the ram hack was not a part of the paradox kitchen till I edited the kitchen files itself, I was working on a version that would allow a little more customization but I have been so wrapped up with things lately. As far as the hack in alexes kitchen give me a day or two download it again and see how it handles its files, or if you would like to try something newer that you do not really need to know much about I can send you some new visual kitchen files I tweaked to include the hack already in place for the kaiser along with lzx compression, file compression and png compression. PM me if you do, I do not feel it is right to post links to other kitchens or recomend others in someones release thread.

It is usually best to try to have it done dynamically just in case anything has gone astray and that can be done a few ways depending on the kitchen.

[OndraSter]

With 6.5 is 101MB RAM + MEMFIX the best combo - with 85MB RAM I wasn't able to run Opera 9.7beta and CPU was a bit (30%) slower in benchmark.

If you want to try newer kitchen, try mine in sig, it has superram hack selection built in, LZX compression, UPX on EXT and few tweaks also builtin.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Through the search engine I found what I believe is your most recent kitchen. Its called fe~ROM kitchen, right?

Since I am going to try your kitchen I will post any further questions/remarks about it on your thread. But just to make sure I got to the right kitchen let me know if that's the one.

[OndraSter]

Yup, that's the one. Download FULL package (about 66MB), it has SYS, XIP, OEM and EXT folders already filled in it with 23009 SYS&XIP, OEM and EXT from TPC.

Thanks for the offer. For the time being I am going to try the fe~ROM kitchen that was put together by OndraSter to see how it things go. His Kitchen seems to have been created fairly recently and as such I am expecting it to be more less up to date. The Alex's kitchen that I was trying to use is a bit outdated because Alex hasn't updated it for a long time. Seems he is upset that other have misused his kitchen.

Anyway, thanks for the reply and the offer.

[mrhayami]

No problem it was just a kitchen I was working on two months ago with the new visual kitchen 1.6 if you ever want it or help making your own kitchen let me know. I won't be able to do much else with the kaiser unfortunately because it is all smashed up and I now have a raph.
