Re: How to Build a ROM so it displays your name
 

I have a basic diamond rom building from scratch tutorial planned for this forum. When I get time, if will give you all the basic tools and information. Hopefully in the next week or two..

Re: How to Build a ROM so it displays your name
 

The file that sets the registry "ROMVersion" is "mxipupdate_zzPIED_100.provxml" that is in most roms out there.

Won't change any of my bases....

Re: How to Build a ROM so it displays your name
 

I don't think that I have ever flashed one of your ROMs, tobey, so this is more of a question from the curious or maybe just for the sake of argument ...

If the above (properly formed and named _setup.xml) were included in a cab file and executed post-flash, would the "Settings > System > Device Information" remain? If so, that's a neat trick ... I've never seen a ROM pull that information from anywhere other than "HKLM\Software\OEMROMVersion".

Indagroove, I'd also like to have your rom building tutorial. You'e been such a help to me that I continue to express that sentiment in my signature.

If you use PPCkitchen, your name will be baked into the about screen automatically.

Re: How to Build a ROM so it displays your name
 

1) download any kitchen (PPCkitchen is the most friendly)
2) build

If you're talking about making a kitchen base, read RSToyGuy's tutorial on how to use DogGuy's kitchen maker (but don't use Bepe's buildos, use PPCkitchen; it's easier and better)

If you're really talking about how to make a clean base...best of luck.

get off your soap box mr. "biggest player" I hate ppl who luv to toot their horn.

anyways, I am a big believer in sharing & helping others to here it goes OP...

after cooking your rom, open your .nbh in any hex editor. Attached is a free one.

once you have opened the .nbh, do a ctrl+G (if using the attached app), click on hexadecimal, then enter address 004D4E34, this is about where the rom version begins. you can change it here then save & flash.

Re: How to Build a ROM so it displays your name
 

Lol, ok
Either way, giving a specific hex location is useless since each base will have a different one.
I also believe in sharing and helping others, which is why we share our kitchen and every tweak and program that goes with it, as well as a few walkthroughs. The ONLY think you would need a more advanced knowledge to properly (I mean, not just hex editing a string) would be the ROM Version, and I think there's a logo in the customization screen.

Re: How to Build a ROM so it displays your name
 

let me refraise: there is a black box that appears when you open the build my rom, at the top mine says c4rbon kitchen's BUILD MY ROM!

the Q: How do i make one of these!!!!? I want to write one myself, (this one says "this program was written by Tobeychris and Ghettofreeryder.") and is this a c++ program?
