I will just like to say that indagroove and Calcu showed me how to do this, I just made a more detailed tutorial.

1. Open up your kitchen.
2. Go to ROM folder, look for the file called "OS.nb.payload"
3. Copy that file to os.nb.payload folder located in my tools folder.
4. Now open up the CMd from kitchen Select Port over XIP then XIPPorterEX
5. Its going to open up a program, click on [Extract from .payload] Then close that program.
6. Go to my tools folder - xip.bin_old folder. In there copy the xip.bin to the kitchens main root.
7. open up the CMD from kitchen again. Click on port over XIP. Select XIPPort2.
8. Click on dump xip.bin, a new folder will appear on the main kitchen's root. it will be called "OUT"
9. Go into that folder select Files, Look for a file called "boot_ms.rgu"
10. Open it with notepad. All the way in the botton you will see "Aku"=" by ***** just edit it and put your name there then save it.
11. Close notepad and then realloc P then write maps, then build xip_out.bin
12.You will have a new file called "xip_out.bin" on the kitchen, copy it to My tools- XIP_new_ported folder
13. Now delete all the files that were made in the kitchen roots, which are "out folder, xip.bin, and xip_out.bin" Only erase the once that are on the main page from the kitchen!!
14. Now go to the kitchen's CMD and select insert XIp into ROM, then select which ever phone you have, in my case it will be Insert XIP into Diamond ROM
15. Make a ROM folder. It will open a program, when the program opens you will see "payload folder then ..., click on .... and locate where you put the os.nb.payload file from step 3
15. Do the same thing with NEW Xip Folder but locate xip_out.bin from step 12
16. Now click Port it.
17. Click on Find Start XIP offset, then Write it.
18. Still using that program, go to ROM tools, Click write then Done.
19. Close the program, the kitchen's CMD will do something, don't press anything. After that is done it will say
"ROM folder was created..........
Press any key to continue....
20. You can now close that, you will see in the main kitchen there will be a ROM and a ROM.old folder. Just delete the ROM.old folder and your done. :>

If you have any problems with this just tell me and I'll help you out.

WoW thats it pretty cool.
I was just thinking , wouldn't it be easier just while using using OEMIZER to create a package ( I'm sure are using it ) , just add that registry entry to any of your packages.

HKLM\ System \ Versons \ Aku and the value "by your name"

this should work.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

As for the OEMs you can check this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...hlight=oem+vga

Thanks for you help Mystery. In addition to the link to the thread of OEM's.
i'm reaching out to others familiar with eRice's Kitchen pertaining to personalizing.

I hope to have my very first ROM built/tested and posted for opinions within the next couple of days. Just want to make sure I have all of the updated Manila, Drivers, OEM's etc.

Thanks again commuity, stay tuned :)

Hey Silence.. Absolutly, I could use all the tools available. If you got em, i'll use em.

Looking forward to sharing my very first ROM. I'm nowhere near a 'Chef' like you cool guys, but looking forward to learning the craft and sharing my creations so that I can give back to the Community =D>

Re: Building my First ROM !!

From step*** 12. When you get the file xip_out.bin on the kitchen copy it to MY tools> XIP_new_porter folder.
Also copy it to xip.bin_new IN HERE RENAME IT SO IT SAYS "xip.bin"
NOw
Do step 13.>>>>>> REALLY IMPORTANT YOU DO THIS STEP.
14. Now go to the kitchen's CMD and select insert XIp into ROM, then select which ever phone you have, in my case it will be Insert XIP into Diamond ROM
15. Make a ROM folder. It will open a program, when the program opens you will see "payload folder then ..., click on .... and locate where you put the os.nb.payload file from step 3
16. Now read this steps before actually doing it: Click on NEW Xip Folder and browse exactly like this MyTools>xip.bin_new and select xip.bin file, a message will pop out saying " File: NEW Xip.bin present, Overwrite???" Click YEs
You will now get an error message click "Quit" and as soon as you click quit close the kitchen's cmd. (Very important to do that)

Now open up the kitchen cmd an open up the program again.
Click on "NEW Xip Folder" browse to MyTools Folder> XIP_new_ported select xip-out.bin. When the message pops out click yes. It will now say new Xip imported successfull. click ok

From here click Find Start Xip Offset. Write it, You will get this message "NEW os.nb.payload is upped successfull!!!" Click ok
A new windows will open, close it. In the same program go to ROM Tools Click on Write, click ok ANOTHER message that pops up. Again close the window. Click done. Close the program.
The cmd will do something, don't touch anything. When it says " ROM folder was created.....
Press any key to continue....
Close the cmd. Delete ROM.old from main kitchen, and your done.

If you still can't get it, just send me a PM and I'll help you out.

The steps quoted above are unecessary, unless you are porting XIP from one device to another.

Also, this whole process is only necessary if you are using an XIP that a chef has cooked their aku version initials into. Otherwise, you can simply do one of the following:

1. Create a package that has the following reg entry:

Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Versions]

"Aku"=" grooveROM 4"

2. Create a reg cab that is installed with customizations on first boot, with the above reg key.
3. Edit the default aku version reg entry in the shell folder of the sys with the above reg key.
