SuperJustKitchen v0.7 Released.
Go to my site: http://justkitchen.info to get the updates and the info. It takes to long to update every device's forum that is supported, and I plan to support all devices.
For more information on the kitchen, please read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4288668
Word of warning:
None of the new EXT's have been tested and fixed for the Herald, Opal, Hermes AND Artemis. Please test test and test and then let me know which packages don't work and what YOU've done to fix them. (I don't have time to fix ALL of them by myself.)
(I'm no longer updating each thread separately for each device but just updating my site and posting the release info here.)

Wait until you see the announcement on my site to know that it's been updated/uploaded.
Word of warning:
SJK v.5 has had some major changes. None of the new EXT's have been tested and fixed for the Herald and Opal. Please test test and test and then let me know which packages don't work and what YOU've done to fix them. (I don't have time to fix ALL of them by myself.)
Take not that there are many versions of certain packages. Let me know if the older ones are close enough to the new ones so that I can delete the old ones.

At the moment, consider SJK v0.5 to be a test... Don't expect to have THAT many builds when it goes into v0.5.5
Right now it has the following builds available to you:
21054 (wm6.1)
21864 (COM2 - old style gui - wm6.5)
23064 (COM4 - newer gui - wm6.5)
5.5 will only have 21054, 21864, and 23064 unless something new gets released.

Thanks for providing us a new kitchen for opal. Can u give me a tutorial on using this kitchen for opal. Full explaination plz
It works exactly the same as your other Ervius based kitchen. You can follow that tutorial as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4446173&postcount=3
The real difference is that I do the porting of new builds and the addition of new EXT packages for you.
(Granted, I've added more options under the Extra Buttons section, but you can go in there and figure out what most things are from their names and descriptions.)
Thanks BUT....
Thanks for your work man BUT: When i make my rom everything works Except the HOME settings and COMM manager,it is the same thing with BesFen kitchen,sometimes it works and then sometimes it does not.
I have tried and tried but nothing seems to help,i give up. I hope you guys can figure it out. Thanks.
What Home settings?
As far as the COMM Manager, don't choose the Comm manager in the EXT list. It's meant for older devices (like the Herald). Don't choose a Comm Manager at all. The OEM still has a comm manager built in. It will automatically insert a working comm manager.
Sorry i meant when you go to start/settings/Today does not work and i did not choose the comm manager, the one that comes with the oem does not work. Like i said sometimes they work and then it does not.

Weird... The Today works fine on the Herald and it's part of the SYS, not the OEM. Are adding or not adding the MyCPL?
So the Comm Manager, even the one that's made FOR the phone has problems?
No i left out MyCpl. What is that BTW. The same thing happens in BesFen kitchen but it works when you put the PP on 12,anything higher it will not work.But i tried it on 12 & 16 PP in your kitchen but it does not work at all.Also when using file explorer and when selecting a theme when Today is working i have to long press or hold down the stylus to select something.

So it happens with BesFen's kitchen as well? The Opal is so strange and different than the other devices when it comes to cooking, I wonder what other changes I must make to the kitchen to get it work properly. At the moment, without an Opal, I can only make a kitchen as good as BesFen can when it comes to proper NB creation. Does anyone have a current WORKING kitchen for the Opal that doesn't have these problems? If so, point me to it and I will study the differences.
As a side note: Doesn't the Opal use myCPL by default? If it does, then you MUST choose it.
If you know PhamQuang you can ask him what kitchen he uses,his roms are usually buggy but i think the last one he made was good and everything works smooth.
You can find more detailed info on the kitchen in the main thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545572&highlight=superjustkitchen
theglen35, I'll go ahead and try to contact PhamQuang. Thanks.

Official Opal's ROM have MyCPL, it should be include in ROM.
The reason I made opal's kitchen because no one share working kitchen here, some one asked me to make kitchen for Opal.
PhamQuang is from PDAVIET, and as we all know they always don't want to share the kitchen and source. You can try to contact him, maybe they change their mind now.

Hey BesFen THANKS very much for making a kitchen for the Opal,I have made many roms with it and except for a few problems it works good.But i think you should try and get all the bugs and problems worked out so we don't have to rely or wait for PhamQuang or PDAVIET to get any roms.
Because of the problems i am using Opals original WM 6.1 until you guys can figure it out.

If your ROM can boot, it mean the kitchen work great.
The problem that you figure is not causes by the kitchen, it's pure something in the ext or OEM or SYS, try to read more reference from others device thread, I can't fix it since I don't have opal for test it, I am sorry about that.

Yea, if the Opal comes with the MyCPL and they don't choose it, then that's part of the problem.
I agree with you, though. Technically, the issue is not with the kitchen but with what you DO with the kitchen as a cook. Since I don't have an Opal either, I won't be able to look around and preemptively fix all the bugs by pre-packaging certain EXT's into the OEM.
I also appreciate you working on that Opal kitchen. It's what I used as an example to get the Opal compatibility on my own kitchen. I appreciate your advise about PDAVIET.
ob_izzy, now it's your turn to be a great cook. ^_^

Come on guys, what are you saying? Both of you are making a kitchen for a device that you don't have and can't test and you are saying it's not the kitchen! I beg to differ because believe me i have tried all sorts of ways to get the rom to work including reading alot, re-arranging files, adding, leaving out, different PP. Maybe it still has stuff to add or leave out that i don't know about, so that is where you guys come in. I need PLEH.

The kitchen only puts things together. What the stuff does depends on the OEM's and EXT's included. If you took all the EXT's that came with the official Opal ROM, you may not have any bugs because the manufacturer has worked out all those little bugs. If I had an Opal to play with, I'd probably find all the bugs myself and fix them (like I did with the Herald.) Unfortunately, we need the help of a very experienced Opal cook who HAS an Opal. (Or I need an Opal, which isn't happening since I have a G1 as my main phone and wouldn't buy an Opal to replace it (nothing wrong with the Opal, but I love android. )

You can make an experience, dump the official opal's ROM (ruusigned.nbh) with Visual kitchen from mine or ivanmmj, go to the official rom folder, there is a "dump" folder there with Ervius kitchen tools, then run that kitchen and build the rom, it will build ROM same as official that you dump. If it run well, no problem with the kitchen.

Great suggestion man. I tried it and it did build the 6.1 rom without problems but it builds 6.1 good but not 6.5. When it builds wm 6.5 there are problems.
Hey first of all i only start wid my problems.
I just cooked a WM6.5.5 Rom for Elfin and these are the problems i am facing.
OEM drivers 3.14 for Elfin.
-->i know that i will get the oem drivers by dumping the latest stock rom. but other elfin cooks are cooking with oem driver 3.14 which is not there in any stock rom. i am able to find 3.07 only. So some one please give me the link to OEM driver 3.14
When i add EXT packages like htc audio manager, album, its getting cooked but is not showing in phone.
how to add ExtRom
how to add SDAutorun application in my rom. i have the executable file but i dont know how to cook it in my rom
I hope i will get answers for all these question soon.
thank you

1.- touchscreen is not functioning properly???? please be more specific tell us what happend exactly to your tocuh screen.
2.- from where???? you can get the latest pkgs from the XDA developers.. using the search option like.... "latest camera QVGA"
3.- OEM Drivers??? for elfin??? you can get them dumping a stock rom this is basic from setting the kitchen i told you that your OEM drivers folder is poor dunno why.
4.- This is a good question for begginers
5.-Action button stops working??? you need to be specific cause some OLD wm6 (your dumped base rom) apps are incompatible with 6.5
6.- the rom is laghing a lot... well that is just experience
you will se when you add and delte old things will see that the rom will be better.
You know.... there is no need to make this huge thread...
cause the answers are there... you all new chefs needs to search as we did in our noobnest times

i asked from where i can get latest pkgs and i am asking for pkgs that works in elfin
i know that i will get the oem drivers by dumping a stock rom. but other elfin cooks are cooking with with oem driver 3.14 which is not there in stock rom.
Collapse Thread
General conscensus was to collapse the thread. I have adjusted the title to be more indicative of the help required.
Ankush, which kitchen are you using to cook your ROM - Ervius, OnDraster, etc.?
In response to:
touchscreen is not functioning properly???? Please be more specific tell us what happend exactly to your touch screen.
Did you omit any drivers or registry entries in OEM? Reads like you may have or there may be a compatibility issue ... see next response.
From where???? you can get the latest pkgs from the XDA developers.. using the search option like.... "latest camera QVGA"
Some camera package may not be compatible with the device or the version of OEM drivers. See next response.
OEM Drivers??? for elfin??? you can get them dumping a stock rom this is basic from setting the kitchen i told you that your OEM drivers folder is poor dunno why.
To elaborate; many chefs will track down an original ("official") HTC release ROM and extract it using a kitchen. They will then take this kitchen, make a copy of it for archive purposes, and start altering the kitchen.
Have a look at the Shipped ROM thread to see if you can locate the drivers you mention below.
This is a good question for begginers
There's a few thread on this already; have a look at the Tips And Tricks from Mr. Makk.
Action button stops working??? you need to be specific cause some OLD wm6 (your dumped base rom) apps are incompatible with 6.5
As above, it likely a driver issue. Also note that some device (ex: AT&T Fuze) have a proprietary KEYBOARD.DLL compiled specifically for the device. This may result in certain buttons not functioning with newer SYS and/or drivers from a similar device that doesn't have the same buttons.
The rom is laghing a lot... well that is just experience. you will se when you add and delte old things will see that the rom will be better.
You may need to increase the PagePool size. You'll need to some searching as different devices need different sizes - it's specific to RAM and processor.
HTH,
new questions look at the first post.....;

mmm interesting
1.- 3.14 maybe or maybe not is a hybrid... some are 3.07 and some are other ported OEM folders to ELFIN... i know that some of them works ok with elfin, like.... mmmm OPAL OEM drivers (some of them not all)
2 & 3.- As you may red on the tutorial I said that the EXT pkgs must have categorized.. something like
EXT
-ELFIN
--23658
--COMMON
---Conectivity
----Commanager_2.0_HTC_Mega
----Connection Setup_3.2_Opal
---Images
----OS images
----Red theme 6.5.X
----Red theme 6.5
---Reg tweaks
----Performance
----Asharsunny_touchresponse
----Regional_settings
be sure your new added EXT PKGS applications are well categorized
Remember too.. that every EXT pkg needs or sometings has as a default the files app.dat and app.reg... I will update the tutorial for other langs to explain this two files function for noobs, but if you search you can have many tutorials lost there in the forums by amesh... hilaireg... and many awsome members.
5.- the SDautorun is an enhaced function into the normal or RUNCC app... the SD autorun allows you to install apps onfirst boot via cab in your storage card...
The SD autorun needs a line in the config.txt that must be in the normalOEM pkg for autorun, mmmm something like...
LOCK:Enabled
EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable
CAB: \Windows\Certs.cab
CAB: \Windows\SMSFIX.cab
CAB: \Windows\btfix.cab
Hide:Enabled
LOCKisabled
EXEC:\Windows\SDAutoRun.exe

@onlyankush_s
Not to offend you but most of the questions you are asking here are already answered on the board.
Cooking a rom is asking some action from you too. A lot of reading, trying, flashing, tweaking etc.
About the 3.14 base you are talking about you could try asking the people who are cooking with it.
I don't think Chef Central is created to dump questions but it's a place to help each other out if you realy don't know what to do anymore.
Just my 2 cents and good luck with cooking.

No offence but Ya i know that, and i am not a fool that i will simply ask questions and not search it before.
About OEM3.14 drivers, i ask many cooks i dont want to name them but it seems one of them lost it, one of them modified it in his kitchen and some of them are not replying. Thats why i asked it over here.
And about SDAutorun, i saw the tutorial but nowhere it is mentioned that i have to add it in oem pkgs and edit config.txt
which i know now as our fellow member +Que PPC told it to me.

Sorry friend but it's obvious to me you didn't read at all.
If you ask questions why Album and Audiomanager not showing that's just a simple initflash edit which you can find in the sticky here at Chef Central.
And about Sdautorun offcourse that is explained on the board as well a simple search will give you answers.

@Ankush:
The original intention of Chef Central was to help beginner/aspiring chefs who felt overwhelmed by the task of chef'ing their own kitchen.
That said, most seasoned chefs have no issues providing guidance and assistance providing of course, that you have have taken the time to search the forum. There is a wealth of information available and often times, there is a thread that already provides insight into a particular problem that you may be experiencing.
Most seasoned chefs started off by cooking a ROM for their device using what was officially released by HTC. For example, I first started off with WM6.1 for my Raphael (as that is what was shipped by HTC) using Ervius PkgToolsBuildOS. When I was comfortable with this, I moved to Ervius Visual Kitchen; and then proceeded to inject WM 6.5.x to the kitchen. You have no idea how many times I re-read the Porting Tutorial - a lot!
It is important to provide as much detail as you can when posting about a problem you are experiencing. I also suggest contacting some of your fellow Elfin chefs as I am certain they would be more than happy to help as well - keep in mind that this is a hobby for most folks and that questions may go unanswered for a long time. Additionally, manufacturers, vendors, and operators aren't really keen on what we do so other than the tutorials and information you find on forums such as these ... you're going to have to learn by trial-and-error.
Lastly, as I believe that threads in Chef Central should remain open to help on an ongoing basis, I also feel that it is the responsibility of the OP to eventually mark their thread as [SOLVED] ... hence my initial recommendation that each problem be a single thread. I also feel that you, as an aspiring chef, must take the time to research before posting about an issue you are having.

OEM drivers 3.14 for Elfin.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The 3.14 OEMDrvers for Elfin comes from RUU_Elfin_Dopod_CHS_3.14.706.02_4.1.13.71_03.34.90_BLUE_Ship.exe.
Sorry for my ignorance but I wonder how one would procede to recompile a dumped rom of a particular device for another device *without* making to much changes.
In my case I want to "port" the OBOE debug rom to the HD2. And I want to do it by leaving all the EXT, OEM and SYS files *unchanged* (resolution of the oboe is the same as the leo). How should I go on?
(fyi, I would say that my cooking skills are just below intermediate)
EDIT: the rationale behind this is that I want to create a base wm 6.5.x rom from a HTC factory rom and work from there, instead of working from a customized 6.5.x HD2 rom and gradually replace packages from new leaked roms of other devices.
keep the OEM main folders of your LEO and switch all the ext and addons OEM folder from OBOE.... it should work.. and remember to use your OEMXIPKERNEL payload and bla bla bal of your LEO too.
Please give as more detail about main OEM folder and addons OEM folders
Please note that Oboe Debug ROm, it's a Chinese ROM, requires a lot of tweaking to make it work with another language, not a straight copy of Ext packs and cook, have a look at HD2 Rom dev about that, also it's a ROm made for CDMA devices which creats another problem to port
Porting is not an easy thing...you cant learn it from a guide...it comes with experience. Just my 2 cents...

Please note that Oboe Debug ROm, it's a Chinese ROM, requires a lot of tweaking to make it work with another language, not a straight copy of Ext packs and cook, have a look at HD2 Rom dev about that, also it's a ROm made for CDMA devices which creats another problem to port

Alright thanks. Better wait for a 6.5.x WWE factory rom with the 800x480 resolution then. Didn't know btw that the Oboe was a CDMA device. Thanks for noticing that.
Well, the good thing is that I now know how to procede when a new rom comes out for another device. Thanks +Que PPC
Also nother tip, I forgot to mention, Oboe Rom it's for Dual Sim device
Please excuse my ignorance...
I want to modify an existing blackstone rom (I want to remove some apps).
I downloaded osKitchen Zero but it seems that I can import only an official rom.
Is there another application where I can import a cooked rom? I did some search but couldn't find something in all the load of information existing in xda...

You should be able to delete stuff with htc rom image editor.

As far as I know you Can't, only an official rom can be dumped and changed, cooked roms you are not abble to do it
you should'nt! cooked roms are a piece of art (hard) work. You could ask the chef to cook you a personal rom, buy him a beer or three... or step into the world of cooking, i did. and it's great!
@ blister969
No way!

You can modify cooked roms; look up micro kitchen-it dumps roms, and you can modify the dump (remove a few files; tweak the .hv's) and re-build it. You may need to modify it for your device. You can probably do the same thing with EVK, it just may take a little more work.
@Farmer Ted
If you try dumping ROMs built with platformrebuilder, you don't get the dsm's. That doesn't mind, you can still cook it. But no, you actually can't. All modules loose one S00x containing relocation info.
(Btw, this S00x plus imageinfo.bin is weird anyway, original MS way is more sexy.)
OndraSter is right about reloc info, but I think that you can remove those apps without messing with modules .
Here's another thread on the subject. I'm pretty sure you can re-cook ok, with the missing reloc data. Da_G kicked in on the subject:

Just a small note to add to this:
The last S00X section in a module is the .CRELOC section. This is used to relocate the module on-device (not used to relocate the module on the PC, in the kitchen, where we do it prior to flashing)
Not having the last s00x means that you wouldn't be able to imageupdate that ROM (because the on-device read/write IMGFS driver would not be able to re-base the module since .CRELOC is missing)
But you can certainly still re-base that module on the PC side prior to rebuilding a ROM. So that function in itself won't preclude you from porting modules from one device to another

I'm making a rom for my HTC Touch2/mega. My currently installed rom is stock rom. Which is comes with my phone and it has no official version of it here. It's in Turkish language and 6,5 but I want to make it 6.5.5 So I'm trying to use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
(And I don't wan't to lose the original room. Without HardSPL Can't I backup it right?)
And my rom is customized for an operator. So I want to build it in Turkish language. I have the mui's but I'm not sure they will work on 6.5.5 and I wan't to make it multilanguge. Because as default it's asking to me which language I wan't to use. I wan't to add this option too.
But if I try to build a new rom based on my current rom the operator customizations is continues? Like I can't use hdspa/3g with another operator (phone keeps crashing).
And
216xx = HTC htc
217xx = COM1, continuing dev of 6.5.0.1 - 6.5.0.40
218xx = COM2, continuing dev of 6.5.0.50
219xx = MD, feature test branch, pretty much dead now. (unstable features are added here, this tree is based on COM1, so older base OS code, but the UI/UX code is newer)
22xxx = SEMC sony ericsson
*230xx = COM3, continuing development
*234xx = COM4, appears to be abandoned.
*235xx = COM5, more GUI changes here. New Outlook Interface.
*236xx = LG Electronics Branch
*24xxx = Possible HTC branch
*25xxx = SEMC - Sony Ericsson
*280xx, 282xx = WMD. This is a continuation of com3 from 23090. Most of the changes appear to be with IE
29xxx - Unknown
235xx has threaded email

Is there something matter If I choose not the Htc one's like 29xxx?
And Since Microsoft close the my phone Is there any point of keeping it in rom?
And Can I add video calling feature to my Mega with that:

No answers? Guys please, I'm waiting for your anwers to cook my rom.
You touched several different problems.
Unfortunately each 6.5.x build will demand reviewing of most of the mui files. I know by myself. I used to build PLK versions of Jackos' ROMs and he has 2 series of ROMs (with 6.5 and 6.5.3 builds).
So you have to choose a build basing on information about it's stability/reliability, not ability to work with Turkish .muis. Either way you will need to mod some of them.
Second problem is to dump an existing ROM which I honestly know nothing about. But if it's a stock ROM, you should be able to find it somewhere anyway. By the information that you have to choose a language at first startup I think that it was not an official Turkish ROM, but the base for the device was WWE (World Wide English) and then there was a mod added by sunnysoft (http://firma.sunnysoft.cz/htc/). That's the same way it is done with Rhodium. We have no official Polish ROM, but only a sunnysoft plugin that enables the language choosing after a HR.
You can find there the newest WWE ROM and the language localization pack that you need.
Sooo I think what you should look for is an official WWE ROM (the version number you should have in Start -> Settings -> System -> Device information -> Software information) and a Sunnysoft mod with a set of different language.
Another problem is that you want to be able to choose a language after a HR. I don't recommend this method because:
- the way it is done by Sunnysoft is that they add a cab file with necessary modifications to a rom and run it after a HR by means of a .lua file or config.txt. The cab file script first asks the user for the language and then installs another cab according to the choosen language.
That means the resource files (and any other that must be added to the ROM) are just injected into the system as files. They do not delete the original english files from the ROM, but just add their own. Besides many of the .mui files (at least the ones from Base_Lang_0xxx package) should be placed as modules not files because otherwise they compromise the memory management.
So what I learned is that you should make as much changes to the ROM via the kitchen and not by a .cab file.
Furthermore the cab file is not able to make all the system changes. I know because I used to produce special PLK .cab files for Polish users of Rhodium. Mainly because we do not have a good Polish ROM and the Sunnysoft version had many bugs.
And there are a lot more changes that it's better to do during cooking than on the "real ROM".
As for myphone of course you can throw it out. It's not necessary anymore.
When I copy changelanguage.exe from my device to computer I was saw Sunnysoft. So like you said there is no official rom in Turkish. And yes it really has so much bug/mistranslates.
Actually I don't want big changes in my rom. I just want update it to 6.5.x
And yes really thanks.
My rom is 1.30.xxx.x but There was several updates on HTC support page so I installed them. Maybe they are updated the version. Should I install them to rom when I building it? Or they will just gone when I install 6.5.x 29xxx
And It seems It will be really hard to translate it to Turkish. Could you teach me? Or maybe not. f it comes too hard to me Maybe we won't be able to 6.5.x Turkish language. Whatever. I wan't to update my phone to 6.5.x without change much.

And there is an wwe edition it says but when i download it there is nothing called with wwe. so I download the sunnysofts version.
Well, I'm afraid you asking too advanced questions for me.
I never changed the build of the ROM. I only developed and adjusted language files to the ROM cooked by someone else (in my case Jackos and Seem_ZA).
That's why I know that even the .mui files are different among different builds.
The "Latest Official ROM" in the thread you provided is 1.28.401.4, and you write that your ROM is 1.30, so I guess you should take the one from Sunnysoft, dump it and then before you try to translate it, try to change the build. You will se if it is stable, if everything works, and then you will decide if you should include all the fixes HTC provided or not.
Remember - the 6.5.x builds are not "official" (except for some phones offered on Chinese market). Furthermore they are not made by HTC as well, so it's rather not likely that they have their fixes. On the other hand you should look into the fixes and try to judge by what they contain. I'm definitely not advanced ehough to help on it.
But I feel that for you the most important matter is read about cooking so that you know what to do and you know what you should change.
Dump the official ROM (from sunnysoft page) using any kitchen system, look into it, try to understand what parts it is made of. There are some tutorials floating over xda like "basics of ROM cooking" or "Kitchen and utensils for cooks" etc. Changing build is a bit complicated task. You will probably not cook a good&stable ROM without knowing the basics.
On the other hand perhaps you will find a good 6.5.x cooked ROM for Mega for which the chef published his kitchen. Then most of the hard work is done, because you don't need to mess up with build changing, testing performance, optimising XIP and many other tasks.
Then you can start thinking of changing the kitchen to compile a Turkish ROM.
Yes. I get it. So I'm starting build a new rom then if it's works good and stable I will try the translate it. And I will come to you for ask your help. And I know they are not official. If they were I don't even think about the upgrade it Thank you very much
If about language modification I can say that I'm quite "trained", but if about ROM cooking... I have very basic problems (look at my 2 questions on the top of Chef central). So I'm sure you need someone much more experienced to start your cooking adventure. Unfortunately WinMo is slowly dying, so almost nobody looks over here anymore...
