kitchen? rom?

Could I get a quick explanation what the difference is between a kitchen & a rom? Also, I see some of these things marked as wm6.5 does that have to be installed prior to the others or does it come with the installation?

TIA

Re: kitchen? rom?

a rom is flashed into the phone...it contains a a bunch of sys files and any oem (third party applications) that got cooked into the sys...

A Kitchen is bunch of sys files uncooked and you can add or remove 3rd party apps that are included in the kitchen to customize the rom...

Basically a kitchen makes the rom your going to flash...

If it's just a rom you can't really change what is in it. just flash...
A Kitchen lets you pick what is included in it.

I suggest you start off using ROMs first and when you get more experienced and know what 3rd party programs you want to remove or include then move onto trying a kitchen.

I personally like to flash bare bones ROMs and install what I want myself.
Makes it easier to upgrade to latest versions as they come out...
If it is cooked into the rom sometimes you can not upgrade the program.

Yeah, and if you see 6.5 listed in the ROM's description, WM6.5 comes with the Rom. After you flash the ROM, you will be running WM 6.5.

It deosn't mean "You need to be running WM 6.5 to flash this ROM".
