Make Your Own ROM's With OsKitchen, Illistrated Guide!

---

Hi All, this is my TUT with lots of pics and easy to use instructions!
So, first things first.
Contents:
1. Porting A Supported HTC Device That Has H-SPL
2. Updating SYS & XIP
3. Acknowledgments

THIS IS NOT COMPLETED YET!!!

OK, so, Porting a supported device!
So first you need a few ingredients to get yourself started! You need:
1. A copy of Ondrasters new GUI kitchen, You can download it from this thread
2. A Stock ROM for your device
3. A windows based PC with a big proccessor

1. So when you have downloaded the Kitchen and Stock ROM, you need to get the NBH and call it something memorable and put it on your desktop, in my case, Rhodium_Stock.NBH.
2. Extract the kitchen to the shortest path possible, something like C:\\Kitchen\, it should look like this!


3. Run OSKitchen.EXE

4. You will see this screen

You need to select your device and stock ROM
5. Click Next

6. Grab a coffe and a Donut (My preference is cream & strawberry), this bit takes a while, it is dismantaling your ROM for the drivers, systemfiles and apps, the drivers are known as the OEM, systemfiles are known as the SYS and the other stuff is known as the EXT (this includes manila, if your on AT&T, tv apps ETC...)

7. Eat a Donut in a happy celabrationol manor, you have got a kitchen!!!
Your kitchen will only cook your stock ROM that you used in your port but we will add to your menu in the next post!

OK, so you want to build your menu up. Now you will have dumped a WM 6.1 or 6.5 ROM, these have given you your drivers. but you want to test out the latest 6.5.5 ROMS, but don't like them. So, Make your own

So, a new ingredients list!
1. A nice, pre packed ROM package, availible Here
2. Or, if you are a slightly more advanced user, you can get a newer build from DA_G or Tom_Codon, DA_G is on XDA and Tom_Codon is on HTC Pedia, you need to port this yourself and i am not going to show how in this TUT as i have done it once and don't know if it works yet

Ok so now you have downloaded your Pre packed OS, you need to put it into the correct folders, so SYS -> SYS, OEM -> OEM ETC...
Now lets start!
1. So launch your kitchen, The folder should now look like this:


2. Select your device and build:


3. Pick your SYS packages, if it is marked as essential, DO NOT DISSABLE IT!!!

As you can see i disable certian things, like ADC, i don't use it as i have no Data Connection

3. Don't touch OEM, these are your drivers

4. Choose your SYS, if you like certian apps that are in CAB form, in the tools menu, there is CAB2EXT, you can guess what it does, i used it to intergrate the Win7 Boot animations:


So click start cooking and your off, Please posst your ROMS as a public release, what goes around, comes around

Ok since I also use this kitchen I will help out a little. Aside from what you have stated above there are a couple of important things you have to do or the ROM will not boot even the stock ROM.

Make sure you Recmod the NTConfig.dll module in Notification Enhancement EXT package.

Also the ConcurrenceMgr.dll module should be recmodded but leave the ConcurrenceMgr.dll file inside the module. This is done automatically in EVK but not in this one.

Ther is a really easy way to port the new sys with a couple of tools and using the import sys function in the kitchen. This way everything gets put in the right folders and is very easy. I will post about this later today when I have more time.
