Adding HTC Sense to Custom Rom

---

Hi cookers!
I'm looking for a tutorial on how to add Sense to roms I've cooked.........
Is there in the forum or somewhere out there some kind of instructions?

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi,

Welcome to Chefs Central

Could you tell for what device you are cooking?
It's requested in the 'Welcome to chefs Central' anouncement here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=612

It's important because if people don't know what resolution your device is it's impossible to give you the correct answer.

Also some info about which kitchen you are using would help a lot.

Sorry

I'm cooking for the Xperia X1 with Ervius VK....... but I'm just trying the OSKitchen right now....

I'm trying to add Sense 2.5 to my roms (WM 6.5.5 build 23563 or 23568)

Allright so that's a wvga device, thank you

Do you know how to dump a rom?

If so dump the rom which contains the Manila you want to cook in.

After dumping search in dump for initflashfiles.dat and open this file with a text editor.

Search for all Manila entries and copy them in a new .txt document.

Save this document as app.dat to a location you remember.

Next copy all Manila packages into your kitchen.

app.dat you can copy to the Core package of Manila

Done

Very simple!! I'll try! Thanks a lot!

Ok man, offcourse some other packages are depended too but this is a good start.

Run through all the Manila entries of the corresponding packages in the app.dat you create and don't forget to add them all.

After that you can cook and check how everything works.

Probably you need to update a lot more packages but that's a case of trial and effort.

Other packages you probably need are:

StartIconLoader
Settings_Improvement
Contact_Utility_Engine
HTCFramework
Menu_Enhancement

Well that's just quesing, you need to find out yourself.

Before you start make a backup of your kitchen and then start updating the packages step by step and test.

A reminder, all the packages you add extra in your kitchen in most cases also have initflashfiles.dat entries, don't forget to check that.

You can do the same with them by placing a app.dat file in the package or adding the line to initflashfiles.dat in your kitchen.

Anybody knows if latest Manila files are the same for all devices?
If aren't the same which would be the best choice to port it to X1?
