Rugal Oven

In order to satisfy most of X500 users I decided to change the way I provide ROMs. In this thread everyone will be able to create his own up to date ROM without the need to know anything about ROM cooking, all you need is download, extract and mouse click ;)

Me and hopefully others will supply you with the goods you just need to download extract and run!!!

How to add/edit ExtROM?
The ExtROM is the place where eten keeps their Cabs inside to be installed in 1st boot or after hard reset...

First Download this ExtROM > Here <
Extract it into the oven folder
Now go to oven\kva\ROM\OS\EXTROM
here you can place your cabs but remember the following:
- Cab file name should start with PREI_ "example PREI_GPSViewer.cab"
- Edit filesinfo.txt "using any text editor" and add your cabs names inside "at the end"

PREI_GPSViewer_fixed.cab is added in this ExtROM as example


How to adjust the Package to be fully compatible with your ROM language?
The answer is in initflashfiles.txt inside each package folder
"The packages are in oven\os\Packages"

[b]
So what's INITFLASHFILES.TXT[/b]?
<div align="left">This file is used by the oven for file copy operations & directory creation. 
By default, all files within an OEM package go into \Windows unless else specified in this file. 
It is very similar to OEM INITFLASHFILES.DAT, which controls the placement of files 
included by default in the ROM.

Here is a sample INITFLASHFILES.TXT and a brief explanation of each line:

Directory("\Program Files\"):-Directory("MusicID")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("MusicID.lnk","\Windows\MusicID.lnk")

1) Create a folder named MusicID in \Program files Directory 
2) In the directory \Windows\StartMenu\Programs, create a copy of the file named MusicID.lnk, 
whose original file path is \windows\MusicID.lnk

So edit this initflashfiles.txt file inside the package you want to change i.e. 1calc and rename program files folder and start menu to the name it shows in your Lang ROM
Example:
in WWE:
Directory("\Program Files\Communication Manager2.2"):-Directory("PIC")
Bit in Spanish:
Directory("\Archivos de programa\Communication Manager2.2"):-Directory("PIC")
program files in Spanish is named Archivos de programa

Newbie Tutorial (NEW)
Now newbie tutorial is uploaded ... Download it from here:

>>> http://rapidshare.co...ie_Tutorial.pdf <<<




As this only a newbie tutorial there is no information about porting SYS and XIP from
other devices (Expert Tutorial is in process)...

Expert Tutorial (Coming Soon)

However you can use Kva guide for porting

Thanks to kva:-

Porting XIP:
* Delete ALL files and modules in original XIP (KITCHEN/OS/ROM/XIP), EXCEPT:
cecompr.dll
ceddk.dll
FlashDrv.dll
nk.exe
relfsd.dll
boot.hv
boot.rgu
mxip_lang.vol

* Copy missing files from new XIP. Do NOT copy DEBUG libraries.
And DO NOT copy bmui.nb0 if using hermes kitchen.
You MAY delete osaxst0.dll, osaxst1.dll, hd.dll and kd.dll as they are DEBUG libraries.

Updating OS to new version:
* Download wm6.1 os for device with the same params as yours: vga/qvga,
of same language, of same dpi.
* Delete all files in KITCHEN/SYS except folder .VM and .ROM.
and sometimes WinCENLS_WWE also
* Copy files from new SYS folder to KITCHEN/OS/SYS.

Thanks to all authors whom made the tools in this oven

Great job, Rugal! :thumbs up:

[icsulescu]

THX Man,

You are the best..

Me

[ianl8888]

@Rugal

Well streamlined :)

Before you are inundated with questions like "How do I ..." etc., look at these two, please:

How does this kitchen keep the DSM's, RGU's and *.hv files in line with just moving directories in and out of \SYS ?

Does this kitchen remove the GSM*.dat after extraction ?

[I don't have an X500 anymore, I'm now too involved in editing/building ROM's for the Sony X1]

[Rugal]

@ianl8888

The kitchen rebuilt all the DSM's during every build run, and I included also a dsm-patcher. You just add/remove what you want and the tools finish the remaining...

This Kitchen uses KVA tools for building and extracting the ROM... So you know what will happen to the GSM*.dat ;)

[adonix]

HI Rugal and thanks for the kitchen.

I actually own an X800 (& X500 Too :) ) and i'm trying to build my own rom.

Untill now, i successfully ported the xip to 20931, but i'm unable to do so with the sys :(

I have tried roms from Htc Diamond, Kaiser, Trinity and Hermes. It's only with integrating parts of Hermes rom that i was able to boot the device. With the others, it get stuck at the orange screen :(

Now the problem is that Hermes is a QVGA 96dpi device, mine is VGA 192 dpi. So i use 192 resources from other roms to replace Hermes 96 dpi. It works, but there is lots of bugs.

Do you know any kitchen or rom that is compatible with my x800?

thanks

PS: i follow kva's steps for building my rom. i also use his kitchen.

[letoubib]

thank u rugal
a newby guide about how to remove things to the bone would be highly apreciated
u r the best

[Rugal]

@adonix
.ROM, .VM, WinCENLS_WWE and sometimes Metadata folders should be from original x800 ROM... Also you need to find a well ported sys without rgu or dsm files been edited . try extracting sys from os.payload....

@letoubib
That something I'm planning to do ;)

or what else?
2- is there a way to remove echo from a rom?
3- is there any pakages that u dont recommend to remove from : "Rugal Kitchen\os\SYS\" no matter how tempting it is ?
4- wat does : initflashfiles.dat really do ?
5- in the bonev2 u included msvcr80.dll + mfc80.dll + invokeservice.dll + copyfile.bat + wakeup.exe in windows folder : theses r not regular windows folder components , wat do they do

C'mon I'm not a master!!! I'm just learning and teaching what I learned!

These are to be in Expert Tutorial but however:
1) In order to remove i.e. office you must remove all folders starting withwith office* (Office, Office_DPI_96, Office_Lang_0409 and Office_Lang_0409_DPI_96) and this goes for others such as entertainment "games" folders...

2) Not really, there is a lot of things causing echo such as gsm driver, antenna, your provider coverage....

3) I don't recommend touching (Base folders, redist folders, browsing folders, phone folders, OS..) unless you know what you're doing "As you can edit these folders but with caution..."

4) The file initflashfiles.dat contains specify where each file and folder resides "Structure of Your ROM".. By default, all files within an OEM package go into \Windows. If you want any of your files to be copied elsewhere, specify it in this file.

5) I added these files just in case there is any program needed these dlls to operate "As .net framework is not included"

You're welcome

You're welcome

many poeple have the knowledge , but very few are willing to share it humbly , these -my friend - are the masters.
1- eten is known for having echo , and some roms have more echo than others...
2- what is safe to remove from this rom?
3- is it possible to remove active sync ? IE ? certificates? block recognizer? letter recognizer?device lock? encryption? managed programs? CSD type ? domain inroll ?
4- is it possible to merge part of the exrom into the storage one to gain more space?
5- how to change the page pool ? will this really affect performance ?
6- ways to increase the available program memory in the startup ? any way to tell the prog memory to empty itself regularly of unnecessary leaks ( like hybernate.exe)
sorry again for so many questions but u have openned the pendora box :)
eshta

[Rugal]

@ letoubib:
1) As I said ... Try using different GSM drivers and registry patches "use google ;)"

2) You can remove most of the things, the idea is some stuff removed harder than others!, i.e. removing office means remove office folders! but remove file explorer mean removing fexplore.exe folders and changing the rgu files to remove related registry!

3) Most of these can be disabled rather than removed because most of them use shared dll and cpl files

4) It's possible but how?! I don't know how!!

5) I'm using the provided tools within this forums to easily change the pool-size.. and yes I really gave effects: The large the paging pool is, the more code pages can present in RAM simultaneously -> the less loads from slow ROM -> the faster the device is.

6) You can remove some of the .lnks from startup that is not fatal such as bluetoothstart and gainfiledetector etc... For hibernation I prefer to ust the AutoHibernate from by eLiAs "you can integrated it by the way!"


@ CyberWarrior:
The French ROM kitchen finally uploaded .... Try it .... ;)
By the way: I did not change themes or logos --> it looks original :)
