In this thread we will share you step by step the Cooking Process of Samsung C6625. This is still the basic Tutorial. The rest you have to explore yourself.

Samsung C6625 has windows mobile 6.1 Standard as default operating system. So, in this tutorial, we will guide you how to upgrade the system to Windows Mobile 6.5 version (6.5.3 built 23121).

Resources Needed:

C6625XXIG5 (latest firmware that needed for base ROM) http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=36b949adb79ac9c0e7c82ed4b8f0c380250bba37092fb2cb64328c9cace34742
Core WM 6.5.3 (built 23121) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544818
Other donor that has same OS (such as, B7320, B7330, HTC Snap, B6520, etc) but makes sure that those resources has WM 6.5 to avoid conflict in your new Cooked ROM.

Application needed:

Valencia kitchen 1.06 (created by TJ_Style) + tools http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=757398
PEExplorer and Resources Hacker (edit = *.dll, *.exe, etc)
Image editor and creator (you can use photoshop, corel Draw, Gimp, or whatever that suite with you)
winceCab (for opening cab application)
Notepad++ (edit + *.xml, *.rgu, etc)
Icon editor (IconFX, etc)

Let’s Get Started!!!!!!

I. Decompress System Files

Run Valencia Kitchen.exe

Now you will have some folders


• BaseBIN
• CookedBIN
• Donor
• Tool
• Xipport

Extract C6625XXIG5.rar and you will get NAND.bin file


Copy NAND.bin to BaseBin folder

While Valencia Kitchen still running (Page 1),


click Dump button….. wait until the process completed!!!


Now you have another Folder



OEM (contain device manufacturer specific files which are specific to your device)
ROM (boot.rgu)
SYS (contains the core operating system built by windows)

All of them mostly contain:
A DSM file (a file that contains some package information, for example what other packages it require or what files it contains, most kitchens usually ignore this)

A RGU file (a registry file containing the registry entries associated with the packages)

An APP.dat, initflashfiles.dat & initflashfiles.txt file (contains instructions for folder creation and file copying that are executed at first boot)

Other files or modules that compose the package: the modules are folders that usually have file-like names (meaning they have an extension) and are a different way to store executable and DLL files on the ROM.

Now in XIPPORT folder you will get xip.bin

DONE….

Time to port the latest build..

Get B6520DXJL1 and you will have 23137 Build

TITANIUM



Note: Don’t forget to delete slidingpanel.home.xml (OEM\OEM_HOMESCREEN) (it will crash titanium)

Files needed (already in packaged by frauhottelmann as the author):
bronzeres.dll --- contain: icons
Replace the original (SYS\BRONZE_DPI_131) with this one
titanium.home.xml --- setting: background, scheme
titanium_320x240.cpr --- setting: text
d57a3191-5a79-418b-b394-4678b16e9488.rgu --- setting: plugin, icon
Make new folder ---- rename it with OEM_TITANIUM
Put all files except bronzeres.dll to the folder
Put the folder inside OEM folder

Edit Titanium

File for editing: bronzeres.dll, cpr, rgu,xml
Bronzeres.dll
Open the file with PE Explorer because you cannot see image if you open it wit resource Hacker.
You will see numbers in RCDATA folder
Replace icon as you wish using Resource Hacker with PEExplorer as guide…. Don’t forget to save it.


Titanium background = RCDATA 4000


Titanium.home.xml
Open with Notepad
Change default background for your Titanium Panel : "bgimage-rotated="\windows\ SlidingPanel_bkg_320x240.jpg" with your image. Example: "\windows\ medical_bg.jpg”

Scroll down and you will see which plugin you wish to add to your Panel.
Edit it and fix it…

Note: “After you edited the file, open it with default program (internet explorer). If you cannot read the text, there is a mistake with your editing. Fix it until it can show up. Check every text, header or attribute or something else that aren’t correct. Make sure header and footer have same word because it’s case sensitive.

Titanium_320x240.cpr
Open with Notepad
WOW…. There is a lot of text….
In this file, you can edit Font size, text position, Font type, style, and some other things. You can freely change it. Make sure you are not making any mistakes…. Don’t worry you can fix it again.

d57a3191-5a79-418b-b394-4678b16e9488.rgu
Open it with Notepad++ make sure you add 1 empty break in the end of file
There are a lot of registry entries
You can edit which plugin you want to add, also you can delete it, and you can set icon for your panel.

Note: if you have edited it and cooked it and you find something wrong with your panel, you can edit titanium_320x240.cpr without Cooking again. As long as not bronzeres.dll, it will crash.

Adding text to Titanium Home Screen like Remora or Revalution
Add this command line to titanium_320x240.cpr and fill inside “text=”

<!-- Branding -->
<Layer ID="Page" Clip="False">
<Text ID="FixedText" Left="160" Top="162" Width="151" Height="24" FontFamily="Nina" FontSize="7" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Middle" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" Text="YOUR COOKED NAME">
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" Color="#444444" TextOffset="1" BlurFactor="3" Alpha="1.0" />
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFF" />
</Text>
</Layer>

To make it shown on first boot

Open f6c8e625-7515-4d93-95ec-ac4999c62a27.rgu (\OEM\OEM_HOMESCREEN)
Scroll to the bottom page
Change "Scheme"="\\Application Data\\Home\\Wizpro.home.xml" in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Home] with "Scheme"="\\Application Data\\Home\\Titanium.home.xml" (depend on your titanium.xml file name)


Adding menu background image:



Open “6b9c91d2-c438-411e-be81-f6df29436a78.rgu” (SYS\SHELL\)
Add this following code under [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSStart] :
"BKBitmapFile"="\\Application Data\\Home\\startmenubg.gif"
"BKUnselected"="COLOR_ALERTWINDOW"
"BKFlags"=dword:0000001A
"BKBitmapTransparent"=dword:00FF00FF
"BKBitmapLogPixelsY"=dword:00000083
"BKBitmapLogPixelsX"=dword:00000083
"BKDefaultGradient"=dword:00000001
Save your image background anywhere you like (I add it to OEM_Homescreen)
Add this following code to initflashfiles.dat :
Directory("\Application Data\Home"):-File("startmenubg.gif","\Windows\startmenubg.gif")
Done….

TIPS: “use GIF because it has small size and faster to load.”
TIPS: “Increase performance by using GIF not JPEG, BMP or PNG”
TIPS: “Use PNG image as needed”


Icon Edit



TIPS: “Replace the biggest icon size, the smaller will also automatically changes”
TIPS: “If you want to set the smaller icon different with the bigger one, change the smaller first”

Icon (you can find icons in this files) use 44 x 44 pixel:
Iconpkg.dll (\OEM\OEM_ACTICON)
Accessories folder = Icon Entry 1 – 4
Internet folder = Icon Entry 5 – 8
Organizer = Icon Entry 9 – 12

Shellres.dll (\SYS\Base_DPI_131)
Wait cursor = Bitmap 4896 – 4911 (you need 6 icon)
Folder Icon = Icon Entry
You can change Program/ Aplication icons in OEM folder or SYS folder by using Resource Hacker.

TIPS: “Explore your imagination”

Some of this tutorial maybe usefull for other built. So, Enjoy it....

II. Build New Operating System Structure

Open SYS folder
Delete all folder except .ROM, .VM , Metadata
Open 232121 folder that you have already downloaded.
Open SYS folder
Copy all folders except .ROM, .VM, Metadata to your SYS folder

DONE….. but we still have another Step…..

Copy your donor xip.bin (from 23121) to \XIPPORT\DONOR folder

Run XIPport.exe in \XIPPORT\DONOR folder



Click “dump xip.bin” button ….. wait until OUT folder appears. This folder contains this:



Now, Click “make pkgs” button to make the subfolder into simple folder

If you have these folders in FILES and MODULES, you are in the right track…..



DON’T CLOSE XIPport.exe YET…!!!!

Now, open XIPPORT folder and run XIPport.exe (it is easier if you open the folder with another Explorer window)

Same process with previous XIPport.exe….
Click "dump xip.bin" and,
Click "makes pkgs"

Also, DON’T CLOSE XIPport.exe YET…!!!!!


Open FILES folder (\XIPPORT\OUT\DONOR\)
Copy MSXIPKernel and MSXIPKernelLTK folders
Replace them to FILES folder (\XIPPORT\OUT\)

Do it same way for MODULE folder
Open MODULES folder (\XIPPORT\OUT\DONOR\)
Copy MSXIPKernel and MSXIPKernelLTK folders
Replace them to MODULES folder (\XIPPORT\OUT\)

Delete LangDB folder on XIPPORT\OUT\FILES and XIPPORT\OUT\MODULES to prevent of conflicting initflashfiles.dat, Because the Kitchen is automatically copying the LangDB to OEM on the Dumping Process.

Click "undo" button on both XIPport.exe and close them….
Check OUT folder (\XIPPORT\OUT). If the file returns to original structure, you’ve done it.

DONE….

Repair the system: Messaging error
