How to make a custom rom using Helmi's AKU 3.3 ROM Kitchen

[finster869]

Thanks Luvchill. I pretty much cooked a rom that just removed items (didn't add anything but smartskey and a ringer). I think I will work on 2 and 3 like you suggeted, and wait for some others to make some OEMs that they are willing to share.

Can anyone help with a bluetooth issue?

I tried installing the win phone profile program and it seems to have messed up my bluetooth. I uninstalled the program, but I am still having a problem. My bluelight is blinking as if bluetooth is on, even though the comm manager shows bluetooth off. The comm manager seems to be having problems turniing bluetooth on and off. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this short of a hard reset? I have hardreset 7 times today playing with cooked roms, and don't feel like suffering through another setup.

Whenever I run the CreateOS and CreateROM, I end up with just an nk.nba file. I do not get an nk.nbf, and since I have no .prj file, I can't seem to convert the .nba to .nbf. Has anyone else had this problem? I've done this on two different computers, and I have .Net 2.0 installed on both. Apparently the rest of you are getting the .nbf if you are getting working ROMs, so what am I doing wrong? I downloaded the Helmi_APACHE_AKU3.3_Kitchen.rar file and, without making any changes, ran the CreateOS and then CreateROM, but ended up with the following in my temp folder:
boot.hv
boot.rgu
dir.txt
dump <directory>
imgfs_raw_data.bin
imgfs_removed_data.bin
nk.nba

Ideas?

Take a look at page 2 of this thread. Someone else asked the exact same question. The answer is to get a project file by decoding another .nbf file.

Thanks chill, must have missed that. With 4+ threads on AKU 3.3 and 20 pages in a couple of those threads, some of this info is getting buried. Too bad I have a job, I'd much rather finish my ROM today!

Keep up the great work....so if i understand correctly, helmi didnt upx anything like mike did when he made 2.2 right ? makes me curious to see how much faster the phone would be or at least how much more real estate could be gained.

Yes I didn't any upxing, first thing in mind is, make newer AKU work with APACHE, then create its kitchen... then U guys customize it as crazy as u need...

happy cooking guys...

ps: Hopes I'm not issue this idea too soon...after u getting familiar with kitchen stuff you guys will notice that if you can cook with AKU3.3 kitchen (AKU its all about OS and LOC files/modules), why can't u guys try to use other aku kitchen, like AKU3.5 kitchen (OS & LOC files/module)? since OS&LOC are independent (Windows OS)....don't want to sound like challange anyone, but thats the great things about kitchen... U open more possibility.... so since u already hv the APACHE OEM&Drivers pack (Drivers)... so Windows OS + Drivers = ? good luck...

NBA to NBF

To do the conversion to nbf use Wideawake's custom rom tools. The tool in the first folder is the one to encode the nk.nba an .nbf Then take that file to the 6. flash directory and load it up.

Wide's custom rom tools are here:

helmi_c,

If it has not been said enough I will say it again. Thank you for all of your hard work putting together the AKU 3.3 and the ROM Kitchen. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for people like myself to learn more about how this all works. As soon as I get some more free time I'm going to try cooking my own ROM.

Wide,

Thanks for all your hard work to bring this to light, hosting the files, and giving us a place to exchange ideas and information.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that the Rom Kitchen includes the module for Internet Sharing...
