A few more tweaks and a little testing to see if everything works and I'll post this on in my PowerROM thread.

Peace y'all.

There is no OEM for sashimi AFAIK. Put the three files I've attached into your carrier folder and the following to your config_operator.txt:

Code:

XML: \WINDOWS\SASHIMIAR.xml

Then you just need a /Internal Storage/Sashimi folder with the proper directories (ie /auto/cab, etc.). It will run on 2nd boot.

For future reference would uninstalling this cab restore the panoramic bg if it was originaly cooked into the ROM?

Thanks, that helped alot

It should assuming it uninstalls correctly. If not manually deleting the manila files that get overwritten with total commander would restore the ROM files.

One quick bit of FYI for everyone: Make sure when creating a ROM that you make ALL of the correct selections for the ROM you are creating. Know which ROM/SYS builds go with which EXT types.
I'm learning the hard way.

I've been hesistant at cooking a rom cause I don't konw this kind of thing. How does one learn another way

Cool. Thank you again.
I had found the three files and already put them in the carrier folder, but didn't have the other line. Where in the file config_operator.txt should I put it- before or after:

Code:

LOCK:Disabled

Get rid of

Code:

CFG: \Windows\SDAutoRun.txt

if I'm not using UC? [Tried after. That didn't work... I installed Sashimi via cab, then when everything installed, it soft reset, then ran again. Arrrg.]
I've already got all the other Sashimi folders created in internal storage.

Anyone have an idea what might cause the new contacts app to break? It was working on the first ROM I tried, but now when I try to create a new contact from scratch, it's not working. It just cycles back to the empty contacts list when I tap New.

Its not that hard but I understand being hesitant to jump into this. Here is a quick guide for ya'll that want some guidance:

first things first, dl the kitchen, extract to your desktop. kitchen folders should look like pic 1.
Select Calkulin's Visual HTC Kitchen.exe. see pic 2, once prompted, select one and hit enter.
once kitchen is open, go to drop down menu on top Device(Diamond). see pic3
Select drop down menu and pick Diamond or Tpro if you have a tpro. see pic 4.
now all of the fields on top with populate. see pic 5.
select EXT of your choice. 6.1 for a 21055 rom, 6.5 for 218xx, 6.5.1 for the latest sys releases 23036 and 234xx. see pic 6.
Pick XIP of your choice, same as before, see pic 7
Pick SYS of your choice, same as before, see pic 8
Now your kitchen is set up and you can start making selections in the kitchen below. I would not alter the first 3 fields (XIP,OEM,SYS) since they are preset.
once you get to Diamond-Device Packages, you can start making selections by selecting things you want in your rom(TRUE), or things you want to remove(False). Double click on selections you want to make.
you need to have some knowledge but many things are already selected for you. it's best in the beginning to keep it unaltered and once you get the hang of it, you will learn what works and doesn't. For example in the keyboard selections, you should only pick one of the primary keyboards (if there is a sip extras oem than you can select it though but not multiple sips) and manilla selections need to be consistent. HD manilla cant be paired up with rhodium panoramic for example. like I said it takes a little time to get up to speed.
hit Create(upper left of kitchen) when you have completed making selections. kitchen will fire up and begin building the rom. at the end it will prompt you to begin flashing. you can do so or cancel out and flash it later. the rom will be housed in the Release Diamond folder in the kitchen folders. see pic 1 again.

**this is really basic overview. There are many other things you can do like add oems to the kitchen but I'm not getting into that right now. Let's walk before we run! Key is to not get overwhelmed and try it out. If you have troubles, people will help. Bootloader is always there to bail you out if you make a mistake.

I will attach pics the remaining in the next post. good luck.

This is what my config_operator.txt looks like:

XML: \WINDOWS\SASHIMIAR.xml
XML: \WINDOWS\Start_Menu.xml
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset

Can anyone explain to me how to change the highlight colors like in the bottom taskbar and such from blue? I built a 6.5.1 with the newest sys
