Re: How to Customize a Custom Rom: Adding/Removing Programs
 

Hate to necro a thread, but I need to say thanks for this. Disaster befell my kitchen and I was able to recover to the point of my last release! I had to rearrange the OEM's and move a bunch of oems from SYS back to OEM and recreate all the option.xml's but other than that, excellent! thanks again!

Re: How to Customize a Custom Rom: Adding/Removing Programs
 

You can also just leave the bulk of the OEM's in the SYS too. And I have done the same thing a time or two on some of my roms, botched the kitchen and rebuilt from a released rom. One of the many reasons that I don't protect my roms when I build them.

I have been using these tools since the Vogue days and now I am onto an Imagio. I am trying to use the same tools to extract an Imagio ROM, but the Dumprom process terminates abnormally. Have you thought about porting this over to Imagio/TP2? Would the Diamond tools work?

Thanks,
Steve

These tools have a size limitation and can barely extract a diamond rom. I have moved on to ervius's visual kitchen. Can still break down a stock rom as well.

Have you thought about putting together a tutorial on EVK? I have download the kitchen, but there is really no doc on how to set it up.

Re: How to Customize a Custom Rom: Adding/Removing Programs
 

How do I remove stuff from the OEM folder?? I'm trying to remove say Facebook, RSShub, Voicecommand, TVout, Opera Browsers, Mp3 trimmer? When i remove it the All "people phonebook" doesn't work. Please help.

Re: How to Customize a Custom Rom: Adding/Removing Programs
 

mechanically speaking, what are the pros/cons involved with or without removing unused programs?

Re: How to Customize a Custom Rom: Adding/Removing Programs
 

Pros:
Makes for a smaller ROM.

Cons:
Could screw with a dependency, just like the post above yours.

Best Bet when removing stuff in the OEM folder is to do it one at a time. i.e. Remove, cook, and test... Then if everything works works repeat, if not add it back in and try another.

I'm pretty sure the All people phonebook looks at facebook too... I would add facebook back in and see if it helps.
