dcd's hermann ROM & kitchen 2.16

[chrialex]

Oh, I'm anxious to know what changed with USCC as well

[quadjacks]

I need advice as to where to place my OEM's in the DCD Kitchen to produce Manila using the Gen Y oems?

I've included the OEM files and folders everywhere i could think, to include the OEM folder itself.

Well, for one thing the packages that come in the recent 'Gen.Y-Manila_R1.1_VGA_CFC-OEM' as posted in the original thread all contain _skip files that would need to be removed. There are some packages that contain multiple versions within their folder(s) and you need to sort out what you want and don't want. That also goes for language/localization -- there are lots (and lots) of extra files you should probably remove if all you are building for is English (0409).

Short answer: Try the nice and clean Gen.Y R1.1 OEMs that Calkulin (thanks Calk!) put together from Yozgatg's work -- it's in his last kitchen hosted here on PPCG. They work great for me in DCD's 2.06 kitchen. Drop the one's you need/want into the OEM folder and they will be cooked in.

Man you always have a clean concise no nonesence answer!

they seem to update often however, why would they put so much bloat in there like that?

Is the version you suggest, updated often!

Actually -- I could have been a bit more clear, and I have updated the above post to that effect. *grin*

Calkulin's Gen.Y R1.1 OEMs are basically Yozgatg's Gen.Y R1.1 files, just fully prepared and neatly organized for a standard CDMA/English kitchen (Like DCD's). The other stuff in the official Gen.Y OEM download isn't bloat, it's languages and options and other stuff that some people will need or want.

As for updates -- Gen.Y R1.1 is fairly solid as is, and until Yozgatg does a complete rework of the project there probably are not going to be any big updates for it. Calkulin's kitchen and OEMs will probably not be updated again here on PPCG, but the Manila OEMs are (at present) extremely current and updated.

ive been trying to figure out how to use this type of kitchen...so then in order to have something cooked in you just place it in the OEM folder, open the kitchen (there wont be any option to select?) and then just cook the rom and it will be cooked just like that?

My kitchen is crashing if I try to place calkulin's apps in dcd's oem folder... maybe I am noob and doing it wrong. I tried just dragging and dropping google maps into the oem folder=crash and then into the oemapp folder=crash...

Forum having major issues -- I tried to post this earlier -- hope it goes this time...

In a nutshell, yes. When you run the main batch file it is all automatic -- there are no options to adjust. If you don't have things prepared correctly you can get *some* useful feedback while watching it cook such as YELLOW warnings about files being overwritten (more on that below), but mostly you will not know what you may have done wrong until you flash it and see.

Anything within a subfolder of \OEM such as \OEM\MyProgramToCookIn\ will be 'included' by the kitchen when it runs. After the base (ROM/SYS) it processes OEMs, and then EXTs -- in that order -- which means that anything you add to \OEM which already has a corresponding file somewhere in \EXT will get overwritten by that EXT etc., so watch as the kitchen cooks for YELLOW warning messages and take note so you can resolve any version conflicts and so on.

Many other cook's OEMs can simply be dropped (the whole folder) into \OEM and as long as there is no file named _skip within them, the kitchen will try and include them. There are various other reasons why an OEM might not work right even if included, but this post is getting long already and there is a bit more to cover...

I am using the OEM of Google Maps 3.2.0 from Calkulin's last kitchen (8/21) and it works fine. The only things I changed are the folder the shortcut goes to within initflashfiles (you do not need to do this), and I deleted option.xml (see below). Could you elaborate on 'crash' a bit? Try hitting pause/break on your keyboard while the kitchen is displaying any errors you might see flying by if they aren't normally around long enough to write down. You can drop the 'Navigation - Google Maps 3.2.0' folder in \OEM and it should work (you can also rename it if you like). The OEMAPP folder is basically its own OEM, it just has a confusingly similar name to the OEM root. Don't put anything else in that one, or OEMDrivers, or OEM_Lang_0409.

I do remove the option.xml files (which are for certain kitchens) from any OEMs that contain them, as they are not used by DCD's kitchen, but I don't think that it's required. It certainly doesn't crash the kitchen -- I have occasionally left them in by accident and the OEMs still processed without error as far as I could tell.
