found module duplicate on mobile?

I'm trying to build a rom using Calkulin's kitchen. I'm building a 23412 rom and after I tick off all the things i want to include, I click "create" and then for the first 20-or-so things in the list that it says it included in the rom, everything that appears after that says "Found Module Duplicate on Mobile". What does this mean?

it could be that in calks SYS every module contains the file that the module represents. try using an app called dump sorter to delete them. you can find dump sorter here:

I just discovered it last night, previously I was manually deleting the files inside the module directories. just check off delete files with the same name as their folders and point the app and the SYS folder. make a backup just in case. not sure if that will help but its always good to save space, every module on your HDD that is like that will take up twice the space.

i appreciate the help, but i'm a complete noob, and i have no idea what a module is. lol

look in the SYS folder, inside any subfolder. take OS for example. in VK is it in sys\23xxx\shared\common\OS. look inside one of the folders. anything that is a folder with a name of something.dll that contains:

imageinfo.bin
imageinfo.txt
S000
S001
S002
etc

is a module. they are cooked in at cooking time, a folder that is called browser.dll is made up of those files. when cooked it manifests as a dll in \windows\ called browser.dll... modules load faster than files. you will notice some files that are just plain old dll's and not modules. I don't know all the technical details ... the point is try using dump sorter to delete every file in the sys that has the name of the folder it resides in. See if that stops your messages about module duplicates..
