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

[schettj]

EDIT:

This started out as a request to gather new ideas for the next "Helmi" AKU 3.3 ROM - then Helmi chimed in and actually posted his Rom Kitchen that he used to build the 3.3 Rom we've all been using.

Read along and enjoy the journey. Here is the highlights:

here's the Apache AKU3.3 ROM Kitchen:

and here's the instruction how kitchen work its might be difference a bit, but basically its on the same stuff:

Helmi told me, in PM, that the ROM Kitchen image above builds the exact ROM we started with - in other words, it will not have any .NET installed, and it will have the picture & video DLL problem, so those are the first two things to fix. It will also not have a working BT PAN profile.

So, if you are game to cook your own ROM with just exactly what you want, this is another way to do it. Read that second link above all the way to the end, there is a lot of info in there on how to add new OEM packages, and there are some example OEM packages as well.

My Personal Goal is to make a baseline 3.3 Rom Kitchen image with the simple fixes above (.NET 2.0SP1, fixed P&V DLLs) and release that, then start adding OEM packages for the SPRINT extended rom (so you no longer need that) and so on, for various freeware that I use. It will take a while, I don't have a ton of free time

Can we start this now? Is Helmi gonna cook us another one?

I'm not bashful, I'll start

#1 - 3.5 based if at all possible (with issues addressed below)

If not #1, then cleanup on 3.3 including

- correct dlls for pic&vid in rom
- working BT PAN
- .NET in rom (1.x ok, 2.x better)

I think that's really the short list. Just doing that will free up over a meg of store on internal memory.

Wide, you're plugged in with Helmi - is he considering/working on another rev? This one rocks, and I am totally happy it happened, but you know it could be just a bit *more* perfect
