I think I can actually help you with that one - ha!

When you launch the kitchen, do these steps:

1. Click Real WM 6.5 AKU (unchecked by default but must be checked)
2. Even though it says Touch Pro 2 under Device, select it again. When you do that, it should populate things correctly - including the Device ID (RHOD***).
3. Go through the rest of the grey fields, left to right, top to bottom, and select what you want, even if it already has that in the field. Just because the field says it does not mean the settings have been applied. Messed me up as well.

Good luck,
John Foy

Switch steps 1 and 2.
The AKU is greyed out until you choose a device.

Cookie home 1.6 tab is in the kitchen already.

Well the drop down menu is selected on touch pro 2...but to the right is 3 empty boxes.. Device ID is empty and I cannot fill it in and it will not let me create rom until I do..so I'm stuck scratching my head atm..thanx for the response...here's a screeny to show what I mean..

*I had to pack it cause this wouldn't let me attach my screeny

Now have you figured out how to add .cab files or apps to the kitchen. I've seen they all go in the shared folder but those are not in .cab format so I doubt I can just drop a cab in there, but idk

Converting CABs for the kitchen - is this right?

I happened to stumble across a page that was defunct but that Google had a cache of it. The page has instructions on how to us the program to convert a cab file to OEM format and then to EXT format.

The program (attached) is called Cab2Oem2Ext.zip

NOTE: I've done the procedure below but have not yet actually flashed my phone as I had an error. I'm hoping someone can tell me the missing steps.

After extracting the program into its own folder, you do the following steps to convert the cab file. I'll use Test.cab as an example.

1. Using Explorer, DRAG the .cab file (Test.cab) on top of the Cab2OEM.exe program name. This will produce a folder (\Test) in the name of the .cab file. This is an intermediate step for our purposes.

2. Using Explorer, DRAG the new folder (\Test) on top of the EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe program name. This will convert the folder's contents from OEM to EXT format.

3. Copy the folder (\Test) to the kitchen's \EXT\Shared\Packages folder (\EXT\Shared\Packages\Test). Make special note of the exact folder name - how it is spelled, etc.

4. Go back to the \EXT\Shared folder and open the packages.txt file in notepad. It should be noted that the kitchen should not be running while you are editing this file. Close it out if it is running.

5. Notice how applications are organized. Games start with the word 'Games - ' in front of them, Drivers start with the word 'Drivers -' in front of them, etc. Let's say that Test.cab is a game. So, you would find where the 'Games - ' section is and create a new entry such as: 'Games - Test=True. Notice that there is an odd symbol at the end of the word True. You can copy and paste it from one of the other entries.

What steps am I missing? I suspect there is more to it but that's all I know for now. I started to run the build with the Super Arcade 2.1 cab and it aborted saying it could not find the SVN folder.

What's next?

Thanks

Idk what you are doing wrong but you don't ever need to edit the packages.txt file. The kitchen automatically edits it every time you start it up. Any packages you added before that start will automatically be enabled and set as true.

Anyone know if the latest manila 2.5 packages in this kitchen are CFC'd? If not does anyone have an ext with CFC? Thanks a bunch

I apologize up front, I am just smart enough, yet a two left footed noob. I feel for all other flashoholics out there! Quickly, before my computer ends up out the window. I was copying some cabs from my storage card and noticed that it was converting to computer format. If i want to convert these to the kitchen, do I still need to convert as mentioned above or does the process change? Thanx in advance.
