Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

After many trial and error i decided i wanted to take a crack at making my own kitchen not dependent on anyone elses tweaks...reg's what have you. It was recommended that i get a certain sys file from a certain rom...got that...got a new kitchen pack...extracted the nbh...now...this rom i got it from was not from a rhodium device. Can i still use the ext it created and just replace the operator package or do i need a complete rhodium ext pack? This is my first time venturing into this side of the world so please forgive my ignorance...i can whip up a pretty damn good rom...now i just want my own tools to do it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and of course thank's and shameless plugs will be given to all.

you can use any SYS you like given you have the correct resolution in it. you can use any EXT from any device that is not resolution-dependent. you will need of course the OEM packages from your rhodium dump, which will include the carrier package. Also be sure to get rhodium wince.nls. if I may, might I suggest giving platformrebuilder a try!

use the exts from the stock rom dump to start with and replace them as you go.

edit: I am a noob to rhodium also, it was quite daunting!

ok where is this wince.nls?

Re: Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

I got mine from the 6.5 native kernel I have attached it.. I prefer to keep my wince.nls in OEM, that way when I add new sys I dont have to remember to add it there :) I also keep dummy SQM and dummy FWUPDATE [from the TP will work fine, they appear to not be device-specific] in OEM, and set my kitchen to automatically skip sqm and fwupdate from sys when I add a new build.

ok got it all together and when i launched the kitchen it says TOPA10000 in the device id box

nevermind that last one...changed it in the info text

Re: Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

That is because you dumped a topaz rom and named it topaz100, dump the stock sprint rhodium rom, then start replacing the EXT's since the topaz is GSM some wont work properly, like phone canvas etc.

Re: Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

ok the sys is from the topaz but the ext is from a rhodium...

Re: Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

That doesn't matter, did you dump the topaz rom and then use that as the kitchen base? Dump the stock sprint rom and use that as the base. Make sure you include the different keyboard layouts for each carrier, sprint, verizon, and telus all have different keyboard layouts. Get them from IME_Engine_Western_XXXXXX.

Why would you need to add it each time you have a new sys? If it's in your oemxipkernel, then it is just copied over when you have a new build.

For starting up a new kitchen, I would do what BDX suggested, and start with an OEM/EXT dump from an official rom that is specific to your device go from there. You could do it the other way around of course, but it's just such a pain, and kinda pointless really. Make sure also you have the 6.5 NK for Rhodium.

Re: Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

I would leave the wince.nls in the oem, it will not work in EXT and it just adds unnecessary space to the xip.

Re: Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

epic fail!!! The only "stock" sprint rom is the 21052 and that is 6.1...i did all the ripping of that i could but want to make a 6.5 kitchen. seems nothing i try works out for me. i dont know if its sheer stupidity on my part or things just arent supposed to be...here are the steps i took...extracted the topaz sys...left that alone...removed the oem stuffs and replaced with the oems from 21052 thinking that would work for me as they're both the same resolution. wouldnt boot...tried again using the ext from jmz kitchen just for ****sngigs...wouldnt go passed the htc touch pro 2 screen...not even the red lettering...would just shut the device down. flashed back to my old standard and here i am...

Re: Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

well it also helps when changing kernels, - actually I guess it doesnt...I just like to have the things that are easily forgotten and required in OEM... I too like to keep the kernel as trim as possible. not sure if it really matters, but I also change my romhdr.bin to give ~61 mb of free memory in the memory map instead of ~48. again not sure if it helps but it's what I do..

Re: Need help creating kitchen for tp2 roms...
 

My whole 6.5 kitchen is based off the stock verizon 6.1 rom. Everything is working fine. Just start replacing the EXT packages. I would be careful what you replace, and i would also start off by just adding your reg tweaks. When you get that down, then start replacing ext's. I usually replace 5 at a time so if something doesnt work its easier to narrow it down.
