I need a stable, stripped, basic rom!

[nFiniti]

Ok, so I can run the Install rom program even tho I didn't select a carrier on the kitchen and I selected alltel on the create rom...

Ok... cool! I've been waiting for a few days now, cause I cooked up my own rom the other day..

[nFiniti]

Ok, I just ran my new rom and WOW! There are a few things that I do not like... but so far its looking good. This is by using the new kitchen.

I am having a hard time following your instruction.

I downloaded the latest kitchen rom and everytime I run "BuildOS.exe" I get a error "has caused an error and needs to close..."

I tried running on my work and personal computer with same error.

I did notice the file is 63kb.. is that correct?


I really like the idea of just selecting/de-selecting what things to keep and I would like to get it to work.. so any suggestions wat could be causing this error?

Did you make any edits to the files after you extracted them? That's all I know of that can cause those crashes.

The current kitchen does have a bug in it's default selections that will prevent it successfully building the ROM files. Deselect the SmartDialer, or select a different theme to address that. If you have further issues please bring them over to the bug thread...

No I did not make any changes to the file.

I did as follows: Downloaded the latest Kitchen Rom R3, extracted all the files to a folder on my hard drive, downloaded the "CreateOS.bat" patch and extracted to same folder as Kitchen Rom.

Then I tried running "BuildOS.exe" as the intruciton said.. expect the second I double click on it.. I get the error message screen.

At first I thought it was my personal computer but I tried it on my work computer and same error.


EDIT: I meant to also state, that I cant even open the file.. get anythign going, not even the main screen to select theme etc...

Any help is appreacited

faheem5, do you have NET 2.0? maybe you need to download/install it.

[faheem5]

I just checked.. my computer at work already had Net 2.0 installed.

I did download and reinstall it again, just in case.

Yet same error.. soon as I double click to open the file.. i get the error message


hmmm.. man and here i was thinking i could get a simple way of cooking my ROM

[nFiniti]

I dont think there could be any simpler way of cooking a rom... its soo easy...

[faheem5]

nFiniti dont add to the pain...

I wish I could figure out whats wrong so I can work with it...

Is there anything other than Net 2.0 required to open the exe file?


I think Im gona burn down my computer at work and home if I cant get this work.. I really wana try to cook my own ROM and this process (checking/unchecking) seemed liek the safest/easiest way to.. I hope I can figure out what woudl be causing the file to crash soon as I open it.
