Newb chef needs some advice

[mmcneil]

I'm trying to create a custom CDMA TP rom, but I seem to be having some issues. I've tried to use Caulkins kitchen, but no luck. I tried to use the PPCKitchen, but got tons of duplicates. I then used DCD's kitchen. It worked, but the battery life was horrible and there was no way for me to give it the name I wanted; mmcneil ROM ver. 1.0.00. I moved on to Grooves Visual Kitchen, which actually works, but when you go to Settings->System->About, it still shows "Groove 5" as the ROM version. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

Create a ROM that will contain whatever name I give it, i.e. mmcneil ROM ver. 1.0.00
Create an OEM package for JD's latest version of ArcSoft MMS
Create an OEM package for the latest version of iContact
Create and OEM package for the latest version of S2U2

Can someone let me know what would be the best kitchen to use OR explain how I could actually create my own kitchen from either a stock Sprint ROM or from a pre existing cooked ROM ? I've been searching around for about a month now.

Thanks in advance,
