custom programs in kitchens

since I know that its impossible to write an instructional book on how to make a ROM, one question comes to mind: When you are building a custom rom from a kitchen, you come across the screen with all of the option of...what kind of manilla, what kind of opera mobile, do you want this, do you want that etc. Is there a way to add programs to this screen? If so, how?

easiest way is to make an OEM from a cab with ervius package creator. It will create a folder you will then place in your OEM folder in the kitchen. If all goes well you will see it in buildOS.

It depends on what kitchen your using (legacy ones or visual kitchen ones). I've attached a zip that contains some tools for making OEMs from cabs, as well as converting OEMs to EXT's if you're using visual kitchen. All you have to do to make a legacy OEM from a cab is drag the cab on top of Cab2OEM.exe and it will make a folder that you put in your OEM kitchen folder. If you want to make an EXT package, drag the OEM folder form Cab2OEM.exe on top of EXT_Packages_rebuilder.exe. I used to use ervius package creator, but the Cab2OEM.exe is much simpler and quicker for me (though it may not work for all cabs).

Secondly, typically what is the proper Page Pool supposed to be set at, is it 10?

for VZW 10 - 16 is fine IMO. my rom is for all carriers and 16mb is a good middle ground I think. I think by default it's set at 6 or something crazy low like that?

yeah I actually set the PP for 6 after building this kitchen and its a little laggy at times so im gonna have to go back and rebuild it.

Sorry for all the questions but without a walkthrough Im forced to ask all these questions as I go. What folder am I supposed to place pictures in? The pictures I want for startup as well as the pictures I want to use as a background imaging.
