Thanks guys. Here is what I have written about my kitchen, and PRB in generel

RZ Kitchen tutorial
Overview:

OEM – collection of files that form a package to provide a particular function to the ROM
Contains 1 RGU and 1 DSM, initflashfiles.dat and option.xml (obsolete)
RGU – plaintext file that contain registry entries, used in OEM format packages.
DSM – non-plaintext file that contains dependency, version, name information for a particular package.
GUID – hexadecimal number that identifies an OEM. The RGU and DSM will have the GUID as the filename and .DSM or .RGU as the extension. The GUID number also determines in what order the packages will be applied in the cooking process.
Initflashfiles.dat – this file sets where in the ROM files and shortcuts will be placed. The files referenced here do not necessarily need to be in the same package, but I do encourage it to keep this organized.
Option.xml – obsolete by the new generation of kitchens. This file used to be needed to present the package for selection in buildos.
BuildOS does not know how to handle duplicate files. For example, if you have fileA.txt in packageA and fileA.txt in packageB, buildOS processes packageA without issue but when it tries to process packageB it sees another file named fileA.txt and throws an error and crashes. This is very annoying to try and track down where the other file exists and decide which one you want to keep.. bottom line is BuildOS is very old and you should be using some form of platformrebuilder. (Visual Kitchen or otherwise)

EXT – more user-friendly next-generation type of package used by platformrebuilder. These packages do not require GUID’s or DSM files.
Contains 1 app.reg, 1 app.dat, files subfolder and locale subfolder (optional), _skip or _only* files
App.reg - same thing as an RGU, serves the exact same purpose, no difference between RGU file
App.dat – same as initflashfiles.dat
They are applied in cooking process alphabetically by name.
Files folder – in here go all your files and modules.
Locale folder – for WWE (worldwide English) we use 0409. This folder is used when making an EXT that can be used in multiple language kitchens.

Module – a module is basically a file, but you see it as a folder. Think of this like a source code to the file. Inside the folder you see an imageinfo.txt (this file contains information about where in memory this particular module will live.), S000, S001, etc. the S* files are what I call module source. Sometimes there is also a imageinfoPE.txt.

About modules – modules were designed for critical processes and files that are made to always stay loaded in RAM. A module has a designated address in RAM when the phone boots. Modules can be DLL files, MUI files, or executable files. A lot of people like to load up on modules because they believe they are good and everything should be a module because it will be faster. This is not the case. Modules do in fact load faster and operate faster because they are always in RAM. This means they do not have to be loaded and unloaded when called upon. This is known as residency. A resident process is always there. I learned from NFSFAN everything I know about modules. I like to keep the SYS modules as is, as a general rule of thumb, if it is in SYS, it is always used and always loaded in memory. I do not modulate MUI files unless they are in SYS. Chances are Microsoft knows what they are doing and the SYS should generally be left as is in terms of files and modules. For my kitchen, I keep the dll files in OEMDRIVERS modulated, and the executables as files. Modules require at least 64kb of memory to hold them. Therefore, it is a waste to modulate a 2kb file. It will end up wasting memory, which wastes CPU power, which wastes battery. The less modules you have that do not need to be (benefit from being) modules the better your RAM consumption will be.

_skip file – when an empty file with the name _skip is in the root directory of an EXT (root directory meaning top-level, the highest folder within the EXT (the name of the package). When platformrebuilder comes to this package it will be entirely ignored and not included in the ROM.

_only* file – Similar to _skip files, but work in the opposite direction. I have never seen one of these files in the wild, but I do use them in my kitchen. When platformrebuilder starts up it needs to have the following environment variables set:
BUILD – this the name of the build. If you (or whatever kitchen you are using) sets BUILD as titanium, then packages that contain _only_titanium files will be included in the ROM as well as any files that do not have an _only file in them. If BUILD is set to manila, then _only_titanium packages will be ignored and _only_manila files will get cooked in. It is allowed to have multiple _only files within a package. I also set my BUILD variable to both when I want titanium and manila in my ROM. So everyhwere I have a _only_titanium or _only_manila file, I also have an _only_both file.
ROMHDR – this is the path to a file (romhdr.bin) that contains memory address information for the kernel. Usually in ROM\
XIP_PATTERNS – path to the kernel. Generally ROM\XIP\*. The star means it will include all subfolders of XIP.
EXT_PATTERNS – path to the EXT files. If you categorize your EXTs by function as I do, you will; need to specify that here as *’s. For example, I have my EXTs in EXT\Baseline\1_system all the way through EXT\Baseline\9_registry. Therefor my EXT_PATTERNS variable looks like this:
EXT\Baseline\*\*. Meaning it will look in EXT\baseline, then then any subfolders within Baseline, and then finally within any subfolders within that subfolder.
OEM_PATTERNS – path to OEM files. For me, this is OEM\*. This means it will include all subfolders of OEM.
DSM_TEMPLATE – this is theDSM file that contains a template for all DSM’s. platformrebuilder rebuilds all DSM’s based on this file. This file resides in MSxipKernel. (rom\xip\msxipkernel). It cannot be anywhere else unless you specify the path to it. Otherwise it is just the name of the DSM: 723fb954-d931-4348-b672-82a188e587b5.dsm
DSM_INCLUDES – I do not know what this is to be honest, it is set as *.* (everything)
SYS_LOC – where the SYS resides. generally SYS\ . At the end of this I will paste my entire kitchen script and explain what it does line-by-line to explain how I take advantage of these variables to provide flexibility within the kitchen.

SYS – this is the main core of windows mobile presented in OEM-style packages. In here is everything that makes up the core functionality of the system. Most windows drivers reside here. SYS usually comes in two formats, what I call old style and new style. New style means that the SYS folders are all categorized based on what they are: lang (0409 for WWE), resolution specific(dpi_192 for TP) , and global (shared). PRB (platformrebuilder) can handle SYS in any format you like, as long as SYS_LOC is set accordingly (SYS_LOC=SYS\*\*), I prefer the old style where everything is in one directory, easy to find. (SYS_LOC=SYS\*)

OEM – here you will find OEM-style packages. I use this for stuff that it essential to the ROM. Anything with OEM* in its name I put here. I also include dummy FWUPDATE and dummy SQM (normally part of SYS, but they are useless to me. More on this later) I also include wince.nls in here. I do not know exactly what wince.nls is, all I do know is it is part of the kernel and specific to the device.

ROM – here you will find the kernel or windows mobile. It contains two parts: oemxipkernel and msxipkernel. Oemxipkernel is never changing, it is specifically for the device, hence OEMxipkernel. Msxipkernel however changes with every new build from MS (hence, MSxipkernel). Os.nb.payload is also included here, this file contains critical information, without it the ROM will not boot.

Temp – a temporary directory where platformrebuilder places all the files it has rearranged to be made into a flashable rom.

Tools – directory that contains all the executable files that play with each other to make a ROM, also where I include tools I use to do various things like hex-editing, manila editing, package creating, OEM-EXT converting, shortcut creating, etc.

Here is my kitchen with a breakdown of what each section does, to give you an idea or a starting point if you want to create your own kitchen:

:start beginning of file
@echo off – does not show what each command is as it is executed, only its output unless redirected, you’ll see


Title Welcome to RZ Baseline Kitchen... – the title of the window as the kitchen runs

if EXIST temp echo Cleaning up after last run... – if the temp directory is still there, this displays the text that states it is removing it.
if EXIST temp rmdir /s /q temp - where it actually deletes the folder and all its subfolders and contents. (/s switch) /q means do it quietly, or do not list each file as it is erased and clutter up the window.
Cls – clear the screen after the first part finishes

copy TOOLS\msvcr71.dll . 1>nul 2>nul copy the file msvcr71.dll into the working directory – this is needed in case the user does not have the correct runtime libraries available (very rare)
copy "TOOLS\Donate to raidzero.url" . 1>nul 2>nul copy the donate link to the working directory


SET CHANGELOG=RUU\Changelog.txt – one of my custom environment variable that sets where the the changelog will reside.

if not exist %CHANGELOG% (
echo Welcome to raidzero's changelog, for your cooking pleasure! > .\RUU\Changelog.txt
echo __________________________________________________ _________ >> .\RUU\Changelog.txt
)
If the changelog file, does not exist, create it and write that text to the file. The > means replace the whole file with whatever follows it. >> means append to the file. From here on out, we will only append to this file.


set LOCALE=0409 – needed to set the locale. 0409 is WWE. This is only used when EXT packages have locale folders.
set /P NAME="Please Enter the name of your ROM: " – custom variable that will be used to name the rom for flashing
set /P buildver="Please enter your desired SYS/XIP version: " – custom variable to allow the user to cook multiple builds with the same kitchen
set /P BUILD="Please Enter titanium/manila/both/none (lowercase): " – sets the build (see how this is used? )
set /P skip="Would you like to baseline the SYS? (y/n): " custom variable to determine whether or not to trim useless items from the SYS
set /P pagepool="Please enter desired pagepool size (0-64): " –custom variable used to set page pool size
