Test: ppcKitchen Manila2d Rom w/oem Package...Updated 10/23/08 7:40am
 

Good day folks!

I heard somewhere that this was how the ppckitchen was intented to be used. What I have provided here is a Flashable Rom, plus the additional OEM's, and selections.txt needed to build your own rom with the ppcKitchen using this base.

In this thread I would like to test that theory. I wanna see how user friendly it is, what problems you have etc...

Version 1.0.1 is here!!! Cleaned up the start menu and this is a good base to build on. I took my basic "stuff" and made a clean base. This is much easier to handle... Here it is: (btw v1.0 was scrapped :) )

The Files you need:
=======================
rstg_Manila2D_Sys20755_OEM_v1.0.1.rar -- Misc OEM's needed for the rom
rstg_Manila2D_Sys20755_v1.0.1 Selections.txt -- The Rom's selections.txt file.
rstg_Manila2D_Sys20273_v1.0.1 Selections.txt -- The Rom's selections.txt file. (the above OEM pack will work just fine)

rstg_Manila2D_ppcKitchen_OEM_v1.0.2.rar -- Misc OEM's needed for the rom
rstg_Manila2D_Sys20755_v1.0.2 Selections.txt -- The Rom's selections.txt file.
rstg_Manila2D_Sys20273_v1.0.2 Selections.txt -- The Rom's selections.txt file. (the above OEM pack will work just fine)
changelog v1.0.2: Added Gullum Diamond Keyboard, Batti v2.4

Work got ya locked down? ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/rstoyguy/ppcK_rom_packs/

The Basics:
=======================
Here is what you need to do to make it work:
1. In your ppckitchens directory, create a new directory: USER_OEM2

2. Extract "rstg_Manila2D_Sys20755_v1.0.1.rar" into the USER_OEM2 directory

3. Copy "rstg_Manila2D_Sys20755_v1.0.1 Selections.txt" into the Projects directory



Open buildos and enjoy.

The following rom's will need the RomUpgradeUtility.rar.

Here is a flashable rom: rstg_Manila2D_Sys20755_v1.0_SprintNBH.rar


I'll elaborate more and pretty this up later. This is just a test, so I'm not going to spend too much time on this post.

Notes:
The sys: 20755
The Carrier: Sprint for the NBH, select your own now!
Add your own programs with this base.

here is the selections.txt file:

Re: Test: ppcKitchen Rom w/oem Package
 

And if I could have boggsie take at look at the provxml file inside the zzz_My_Start_Menu_ppcKitchen_v2.0_OEM, I sure would like to you to check the formatting and see why it isn't working!!!! :) :)

Re: Test: ppcKitchen Rom w/oem Package
 

Awesome idea, trying it now

Re: Test: ppcKitchen Rom w/oem Package
 

I failed to mention, or ask, IS THIS NOT A GRAND IDEA? :)

How is everyone going to respond to this? Thumbs up or Thumbs down...If this hits off good, I'll release a more proper/cleaned up rom if I get good feedback from this and it is easily implemented by end users.

Re: Test: ppcKitchen Rom w/oem Package
 

The proxy filters deny all of the file sharing places, so I won't be able to take a look until pm. You could drop the provxml file in your ftp director and I could take a look at it ... but more than likely it is the provxml choking because it is running into something unexpected.

But, if you want me to get a head start, let me know.

... and I don't know how to say it without sounding disingenuous, but the fact that you would suggest that I could help out is more than a little bit humbling ...

I'll do my best!

Re: Test: ppcKitchen Rom w/oem Package
 

Since im a HUGE NOOB with this stuff, where do i put my own files and cabs and what not that i want to put into the rom?
, i got about 700-800 overwrite files....is it that im selecting stuff thats already in there that im not looking at?

ok, ill wait till this is all done...jeez
got a directory not empty error, but after that, build went good....starting it up now....

Re: Test: ppcKitchen Rom w/oem Package
 

PPCKitchen\USER_OEM\DirectoryName

Each OEM that you want to include can have a unique directory off of the USER_OEM directory.

You mentioned CABs, which are programs, etc. that install after the cab file is run/executed. You can use an OEM package to copy the cab file into your ROM, but that does not install the application that is packaged in the CAB.

In order to provide specific answers to the overwrite question, you might need to copy the contents of your selections.txt file into the reply.

Re: Test: ppcKitchen Rom w/oem Package
 

you own files you can add into the zzz_My_Files_OEM that is included in the USER_OEM2 directory. This is where I have some graphic files. And this does include manila2d, so it already has everything for that...too many to mention..

And I too am at work, so I can't upload it. Here in a bit I'll see if I can just post it here....
