Hi all im a newbie in this things and i found alot of fantastic info on this forum so first and for most my thanks to all of you guys out there that make this forum so great.
Now to my question, does anyone know how to change stuff in the extrom so that when o make a hard reset it installs the cabs i put there?
I looked and there is no config like in the previous ones.
I can unhide and unlock it but i cant make it install my progs when it boots.
Second i would like to leave a sugestion can anyone that knows make a small step by step tutorial how to unblock and unhide extrom and how to change the cabs and make it install them when you hardreset?

Cooking Roms, Need your kindly help

Hello all.
Since English is not my native language and I'm some sort of new and not familiar here, I may need your help.
Bought X1 last week, after trying some nice guys' rom in xda, I'm wondering if I could able to cook my own rom, I mean to customize my system. I was wondering if I could ripped those things come along with offcial rom but not need, and those things I needed but some really good guys' roms don't have.
So, I am thinking of cooking a rom for what I need, can modify system file it self, such like, rip out "Block Recognizer" and replace it with "PlumSIP" (A really nice Chinese input method), just for example.
And in 2003Se I know some external softwares can be customize installed by extrom, I found out WM6.1 seemed used a special way, like build into a single image file...
Well, generally speaking, I am hoping someone could help me, to show me some tutorial to read and do myself.
Thanks a lot.
PS:Have downloaded kitchen pack, but don't know what all of those soft. would do... For now, I just know how to decomplie an offcial rom in to nb files..
I would also like some info on cooking. I have searched and read a lot on this site but I'm no closer to getting anywhere. I tried to follow the instructions to backup my ROM as they are very easy to follow, but it didnt work.
Does anyone cook with Vista?
What kitchen programs are out there?
Do you have to have a specific kitchen program for each model of phone?
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448809&highlight=kitchens but its outdated

X1 got its kitchen app pak, check this:
ftp://x1:[email protected]/XperiaX1/TOOLs/KovskyKitchen.zip
for now I am trying to figue out each module's really would do....
Try jerpleas kitchen in the sticky at the top to start out with. It'll give you the basic kitchen with which you can build a working rom (and simple customization)
Then search for ervius multilang gui for bepes tools (i've linked to it a few times now in this forum).
That's the best I've seen so far, you can dump a stock rom using it and start adding from there.
Cheers dude, i appreciate that :thumbs up:

that may help, thanks. but i'm still looking for tutorials for how to modify dumped rom files to fulfill my own needed.
The only advice i can give is to search search search... There was a large area of trial and error when i cooked my first rom. Some tutorials worked some didn't and its like a combo of everything that will get u going.
IMHO; ervius has the better kitchen, but not for beginners
I agree with Fards: your best bet is to start with the sticky posted one and get used to the basic cooking process on a first place
i think so too. use sticky.
to get feeling for cooking its not needed to read the "X1-TUTORIAL".
check tutorials for diamond, ralphi, hermes and kaiser ... than you will get some aha-effects and you will see some identical rules for syntax and how-tos for cooking with this sticky kitchen.
normaly its not realy possible to make a tutorial for every pda-type cause ...
i dont know why but its o.k., if i look to me i see me dont like reading but more not writing anything ...

good idea, you've pointed me a way.
but i wonder if that is something different from x1 to those diamond, kaiser, raphel blah blah blah...
if you need more petrol for starting i can say only "begin now".
its not realy the same but its realy realy realy near the same.

TF2D works well on a kaiser, just not in landscape. TF3d is not a completed project yet. Many short comings to put up with. TF3D looks cooler, but M2D runs much better and cleaner.
Oh ...and try to post in complete sentences, we don't use text speak around here, it makes your questions look less than serious and people will just skip over them rather than trying to figure out what the heck your trying to say, just a friendly tip
oh, no wonder... Erm, i was previously using spb backup in WM6 professional, but when i restore it in the cooked rom garmin dk.10 final, it just won't work... I couldn't get my contacts back now... I tried to delete the file in windows folder to replace the pim.vol file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1832331&postcount=2), but it doesn't allow me to do so in the windows folder (can't choose the delete option). Any tips for this?
By the way, thanks for the friendly tip~
Yay~ thanks to all, I have managed to solve that problem... All i did was by doing a backup with spb backup, then restore with my previous backup files and thank god, the contacts were there! So i used Pimbackup to back the contacts, restore the backup i last did, and put back the contacts... Really enjoy the TF3D on my kaiser... Just that there isn't a video call function... hope there will be a cab file to put this function in soon enough~

Bit of n00b help appreciated..?

Guys
I sincerely want to use a cooked ROM - I used to on my Artemis and a number of WM devices before it - however I'm a bit more worried about causing my rather expensive HD Touch some harm.
More than that, I'm worried about getting all my programs back (I have a lot!) with their settings...taken me ages to tweak them how I want. As you guys are the experts, can anyone suggest a way in which I can backup my existing programs and relevant files and restore them after flashing a cooked ROM (instead of stock)
Hopefully it's possible
If you follow the "Dummies Guide" to flashing by Digital Outcast here step for step you should not go wrong.
For setting up your newly flashed ROM try Sashimi, this makes setting up a breeze.

Help with cooking wm 6.5.3 rom

Well, Im attempting in cooking my first rom. I have successfully ported the 28205 SYS and XIP but I am having trouble finding the New Ext Packages and the Sense 2.5 files. Can someone please tell me where I can find the new sense and ext packages? would be greatly appreciated. 1 more thing with my current rom is that when I upgraded it to 28205 sys and xip the tf3d became unaligned. It is being pushed down therefore the top of it is showing some purple background and the bottom tabs are a little cut off. I think this may be a sideeffect of the start bar being at the bottom. Thanks
You need to learn how to search my friend. Here is the link for latest Leo pkg. Dont add any customization to Manila, and see if it works ok.
Thanks, I did try to search but didnt really know what to search for lol. K I wont add any customization yet.
I didnt add any customization to manila and I'm still getting the problem. I have tried hard and soft reset as well.
Need help
yeah, i do need help on how to search, because i cannot find a kitchen and/or instructions on how to get me started cooking ROM's. I really want to start, because it seems like it would make for a really fun hobby!
Can you possibly provide me a link for this???
titan, do you have windows live messenger? send me a message [email protected]

Where todoanload Kitchen & Tutorial?

Since two days I'm finally a custom-ROM-user. I've tried different 6.5er and 6.1er ROMs...but nothing fit to my needs. So I decided starting to cook my own ROM...but I couldn't find a working doanload for kitchen nor a tutorial for creating ROMs. Hope, anybody could help me
I'm looking for one too :/
For a long time.
I'm interested on this too.
Lechux has shared his kitchen but i don't know how to use it. What tutorial i should read??
You don't have to learn cooking to modify & recompile any ROM if you have a working kitchen made by any chef. Special knowledge is required if you want to deeply understand how everything works, but you'll get it with cooking experience.
So the advice is to go to chef central and read stickies.
Thanks mate!
I've only been searching the x1-board. I'm going to read the stickies right now

Not only read, but also try to build rom using kitchen you have. Practice is the best for education (for example, I've made my first ROM after 2 days of reading & investigating)
I gave it a shoot. But there are a lot of things I couldn't find information about.
Cleaning my stock ROM with osKitchen Zero 1.33.5 was easy. But I couldn't built-in different CABs I'd like to have installed after hard-reset.
And I even don't know how/what to change to get a well prepared start-menu after installing my new ROM.
So do you have some links which explain that stuff to me?
I want:
-Different CABs being installed after installing ROM
-do some Registry-Changes & Change startmenu
good to hear, keep trying!

Learn how to make EXT packages, then you will be able to convert cabs to EXTs and include this new package into your rom. Also all registry changes are usually made in EXT packages. Good luck!
