hi
I tried looking around and really couldnt find any information for n00bs to help them cook there own roms.
could someone please advise me where this information is available or if someone can do a breif guide on what to do and how?
dont meen to ask TOO much but its really been buggin me.
Your pretty much going to have to read and search...
I have been trying to make my own for awhile and no luck until a couple nights ago I finally got something "cooking".
I found I ended up using two or three different programs to cook with since they all seem to do a little different.
Sorry I can't personally be of more help but you are going to have to search and read since no one will probably take the time to make it "super easy".
Bhups,
Start with the wiki. There are now a number of ROM kitchens that make cooking "relatively easy" to where we were a few months ago.
My suggestion would be to find the threads in the Development & Hacking forum and simply read through them to build up your knowledge base. This will take some time so be prepared.

Ummm ... you asked this very same question in this thread, and were given an answer (by me)
Why start a new thread with this, instead of reading answers to your last post on the issue?
-pvs
Search the Wizard thread for Faria's Kitchen, it has lots of information about cooking a ROM. Just remember that most of things might be the same for Hermes, but you cant put a wizard ROM on hermes and vice versa. Good luck, keep searching and reading. Follow the link in my signature as needed.
cheers all...
pvs - i'm sorry, I think I missed that thread.
Been so fustrated tring to find places for tutorials I forgot what I posted where.
I thougt someone may have a dummies way of cookin roms ready so they can post it as a reply on a new topic and it can be eaiser for others to find this solution.
It obviously now seems like there is ALOT of reading to do on this, and in multiple places.
okidoki peeps..
me off to it.
Thanks again to all!

Hi,
As I'm sure you can all appreciate, I'm new to this and I was just wondering the various pros and cons to the XDA Live and Black v3 ROMS...
I've read countless pages on both ROMS but need some clarification on a few things... Which ROM is the most complete... as in which version has the most working software, I noticed some imporant features for both seem to have problems...
Black needs a bluetooth patch to work properly and Live doesnt have voice calling?!
So which is the most advanced out of the two?
i think is Black v3
dude, this is the SECOND thread you have made for complete n00b questions.
please READ, READ, READ first
when you are read to ask a question, SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH first
every ROM has its pros and cons, there is no "perfect" rom and there is no "imperfect" roms. read the wiki and you can learn without being lazy and starting new (and useless) threads.
black v3.1 is the newest build "released", but the best advice is to try either (or both) over afew days to see if they work for you.
Before you do though, please read Mr Vanx guide to upgrading, so that you don't brick your device.
Good luck & happy flashing.

I have to second this comment. While it's nice to have, don't try to get that "perfect" ROM. Read, read, read. We all do, no-one can claim his/her time is worth more than others because you have no idea who else is on the forum. If you think this is time consuming and want to help others, summarize them and update the WIKI!
If your goal is simply trying to get Hermes to be a productive machine, read the wiki, guide, thread. List down the pros/cons, select the one on top that fits your criteria, make your informed decision and move on.
If it meets most of your need, stick with it. If not, go to the next one.

Sorry dude.
LVSW is the most stable in my opinion.
ok lets not start another whos rom is the best/ most stable/ this that w.e.. Just read threads and they explain the advantages of what rom fits you
I'm afraid I've had to resort to posting the million dollar question, how do I flash a modified ROM? I've been searching for hours on how to but just can't find anything that explains things in plainly. I've visited various websites that have links here but I can't work out where to even start. There's all this talk SPL and stuff that I have no clue what it is.
Could somebody please post replies to this and guide me through it? I'd appreciate it very much as I really like my Diamond but it could do with a boost.
Thanks
Maybe you over looked the search take a look at this thread it will help you,

Thanks guys for the pointers. I must admit I've been looking at these before. However, having looked at them in a bit more detail, I can see how it's starting to get together.
There were 3 things that I couldn't find on the pages...
1. How do I back up my existing ROM (and everything that will be overwritten) so should things go wrong, I have a restore option?
2. The page about upgrading your ROM says.."now download a ROM of your choice". Somehow that doesn't sound as simple as it's put. There are ROMs all over the place, how do I know what will work on my Diamond.
3. Is it really worth upgrading the ROM? i.e Are there any actual success stories of the Diamond "flying" along as if it's just been injected with steriods?
Look forward to your replies.
Thanks
1: ROM backup - search is your best friend, there are a few open threads about this procedure.
As for making a backup of your contacts/msgs etc, you can sync the device with windows, use PIMbackup or sprite backup.
2: You won't know till you find a ROM which fits your needs. There is no universal BEST rom...
3: Yes there are. ^.^

guys, I have been reading and searching using search tool here in the forum. I don't mean to flood this forum as there are more people around need help. Please try as much as you can to start reading.
I have been looking through this forum and havent come across exactly how to install a new ROM on my t-mo dash... So I am sorry if these are dumb questions... But I do have a touch pro 2 and they explained to me how to install a new ROM on it. Is it the same concept for the Dash? Do I have to flash it with an SPL? If someone could explain all this to me it would be appreciated, or if you could direct me to a part of the forum that will assist me. I want to change the ROM on my dash for practice before I do my TP2...
I'll explain the forum has a sticky & the top take your time to read........... Does say read before posting so as to stop ?'s that are already answered........
The choice if HSPL is yours most people don't but is available in sticky, the noobs guide to flashing is there too.
Good luck.

The reason you write " I need help from you guys to make my HD looks great " Mean you DONT KNOW OR READ ANYTHING because if you read you will know there is not such as magic to install something and voala... About how to Flash a ROM i already write to one "new" user and will not write the same anymore you can read it and flash a new ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657816&page=2
Here i wrote Guide step by step very simple im sure you don`t read this.. then dont say you read alot and almost everything.. if you use the search on this forum and wrote how to flash ROM will see alot of Post explaining very well.
Also if you read will know that depends from what kind of ROM u use do your device is unlocked and what manila version and thousend other stuffs you cannot write just like that... i cant install cabs.. What kind of cabs? where? what error giving you?
What Manila u are using.. or what kind of Windows?!?
They are thousend of questions...
And like i say.. im not here to explain to every new the whole world.. so READ if you read will know what to do...
Hello philiphoh,
it's always good to see new people coming in and I guess I need not to talk about what tsalta has said. But here's some links that I think would be helpful for you.
To change your SPL/Radio/Custom ROM/etc, this is the best tutorial to read though: Digital Outcast's Dummy Guide
As for your .cab files that do not work, normally it's because of compatibility issue, or the place where you install the cab files (phone/storage card), or maybe the cert (sdkcerts.cab) issue, if you're on a stock rom.
to make your phone look great, normally I'll go through the thread Post Your HD Screens. A lot users showed cool stuffs of their Blackstone and if you like them, you can just ask them to share, and normally they will.
Hope you can find your way =) Well, it's all like what tsalta said, READ.
