Whats the secret here? I've been READING READING READING so much so my eyes are red and raw so please dont ask me to do more reading. I know I'm making some silly little mistake overlooking something small

HELP please!

I'm trying to use Caulkins 1.3.1 kitchen or even 1.4 which has no oems etc

Or should I be using another kitchen? I've tried just basic Raphael but again unless I rip the rom I can't use it with the files I have

Your answer lays somewhere with the files on your computer....

Pretty vaugue huh?



Give detail and we will help. No detail means no help. Kitchens are extermely complex and not to be taken light heartedly. Are you sure you dont want to use a pre made kitchen? what are you trying to accomplish?

Im nopt trying to discourage you, I just want you to know there are alternatives and I also need to know what you are trying to complish. I will always help the best i Can.

Yes very sorry for not giving much details

I've downloading and unpacked Caukins 1.4 and tried to put in my own oems and sys file everything seems to be fine until I try to cook the rom what seems to be right at the end of BuildOs's thing it errors out with
"External component has thrown an exception."

So I then downloaded the Basic Raphael Kitchen which is pretty empty I guess you would say what I did was followed the directions in a tut I found to take an already cooked rom and run Prepit.exe on it and if I do that I"m able to recook it using the kitchen as is but if I try changing the sys folder or oem folder I again get the same error?

What I am trying to accomplish is to build upon a pre-excisting rom cooking in all updated os and htc apps etc.

I'm running Windows Vista Ulitimate full admin privliages
I can cook roms with a full kitchen using whatever is already packed in no errors.

I hope that is enough info for you to help me out. Thanks for your time

My first guess is you have a corrputed XIP????? Nah, because you can build stock configs right?

Yes I can and I got a new XIP too with the sys files I got

I gave up on that quest.
I was not trying to just SLAM I am trying to LEARN obviously there is a proper way to do all this. Finding this information is the hard part, tuts are all written for specific kitchens, roms, peoples. personal out takes and experiance.
Nothing really makes it to the point sense. I'll figure it out.
Instead of pointing out what I am doing wrong why not explain to me how to do it right?
It can't be all that hard to explain to me what I am missing in caulks kitchen can it?
I have a base rom and if that doesnt work I have

A complete sys folder xip os payload and oem folder
Now people build kitchens all day right?


I have succesfully gotten rices kitchen to work.

I was able to replace the sys folder with the one I have and update some oems.

What would I look for in that Init file to find out which one is bad?

I would rather have the advance features afforded me with Caulks 1.4
and now I just need to know how to name the rom so when its flashing it doesnt say generic 1.0.3

Thanks for the help

If no one wants to help me out does anyone want to make the kitchen for me and I'll pay you?

OP if you are doing what I think you are doing then you are wasting your time. This could be an ALL YEAR AFFAIR. I cant help with that. You need to search for XIP Porting

ACE: Tell me if I am in the wrong line of T/Sing here? Is it the problem I think? Noobishness? Not realizing differnt base payloads dont work correctly with others... Like maybe he borke this down with a full size payload instead of just XIP and he needs vice-versa????? IE Dog guy style vs HTC Project style (for lack of better words?)

Ok I think I get it if I'm going to use sys folder from one rom the os payload must be from that same? so say if I broke down Conflippers rom and had Con's sys folder I could get that payload from breaking it down then take the payload that comes from the breakdown and then use that and the sys folder in the kitchen?


As for telling you what the files say I deleted Everything except rices kitchen so as not to have to much clutter I was starting to get confused downloading and reading too much I think

But I have SUCCESFULLY cooked a rom using Riceskitchen with the sys folder I have. everything works just fine only thing is how do I name the rom?
I think whats left is to figure out all the little tweaks such as booting with my theme not the default etc

But back on track I MUST get this Caulks kitchen going all those features in the kitchen would surely make my roms that much better?

I have the OS and oems I wish to use to cook with with an empty kitchen what am I missing? thats the big question the rest I'm sure I can trial and error etc..

Thanks for all your understanding and patients

It's an idea fraught with peril to mix folders between old style kitchens. I don't recommend it unless the kitchens are practically stock.

GG, Im about to head over to PPCK pretty soon and start picking your brain. I have a plan of a[pproach I am drafting up in my head on how to get my work integrated in to the PPC Kitchen. At first I want to start of like No2Chem and create something sorta kinda stand alone but less stand alone than his...

Making a no2 style kitchen one is easy, but you should only do that if you are a) extremely lazy or b) make changes like no2's Titan rom (very broad and/or structural). You should start by a) making a stock VZW OEM dir (or better still, just the difference to sprint stock OEM), and b) making a 2nd dir w/ only your changes in it (no core files, just what you would add/change to make your ROM). From there, I'll walk you through how to build with it.


I agree. Wait, mine is :)
