Extracting OEM app Folders from a cooked ROM?

[AceszHigh]

Hi,
Sorry if this is already answered somewhere here, but I have yet to find it. I have been spending a lot of time trying to customize my own rom. Basically what I have found is that I like OMJ's new 6.1 ROM, but I'd like to customize that a little bit..remove some apps and such. I learned how to dump a ROM and/or imgfs.bin, but that doesn't help me too much because it didn't seem to dump the actual file/directory structure (like it shows in \OEM before I cook my own rom) so I can't modify the apps by a simple addition or deletion of a folder in the \OEM before cooking. Basically my question is this: how do I take a ROM someone has cooked and make it into the kitchens I've downloaded, so I can edit it and recook it? Thanks.

Download OMJ's Kitchen and install it. Read the readme, and when you disassemble a NBH, the OEM's are disassembled into the \SYS directory, and do not show up in buildos. But if you know what an oem looks like, you can still 'taketh away' from the \SYS and 'giveth' with the \OEM folders.
