Yes, it's actually just as awesome as it sounds: multicore-multithreaded compression allows it to compress up to 2x faster on dualcores and 4x faster on quadcores but it's not just that, it also does realtime file prefetching while compressing, allowing imgfs to be built much faster even on singlecore machines and without causing any additional hard-drive overhead. The v2.2.2 version also allows selecting the compression (LZX/XPR/None) trough a command switch, overriding the compression setting dictated by the source imgfs file and finally removing the need of having to hexedit the original imgfs file to change compression type.
Remember to fasten your seat belts and turn off any electronic gadget, it's so fast your PC chassis could actually take off!
And remember, *use this at your own risk* I don't take responsibilities, especially if your computer chassis really takes off .
Command line syntax
ImgfsFromDump.exe [-compression <LZX/XPR/None>] [-freespace <NumberOfMegaBytes>] [-empty] [-verbose] <imgfs-in.bin> <imgfs-out.bin>
All parameters but the input and output file are optional so you can use the tool in ervius' and other kitchens without having any issue just by replacing the imgfsfromdump.exe file.
NOTE: Oskitchen already comes with customized versions of this tool so please do not replace the one oskitchen comes with.
Changelog
Version 2.1: faster and uses less ram
Version 2.2.2 version: allows selection of compression (also allows building ROMs with no compression and removes the 256mb IMGFS file size limit)
Version 2.2.3 version: compiled statically so it doesn't need any c++ runtime to work
Version 2.3.0 version: now more stable, no more hanging with None compression (I had it running in batch mode for days and it never gave an issue with it or other compressions), allows setting the free space (if you manage to use imageupdate) and allows creating empty imgfs.bin without requiring a dump folder (useful for reducing payloads)
(NEW!) Version 2.4.0TEST: implemented native support for unicode file names (used in stock Oboe ROMs).
Iam happy that iam replying first to this thread.
Hmm i have downloaded that and wanna see if that really that fast in my dual core pc.
Flashing with the new imgfsfromdump. I went from 1 minute and 3 seconds for a LZX compression to just 21.45 seconds. I did have to use a different cecompr_nt.dll then the one you supplied for lzx compression to work, but other than that, nice work!
Working like a charm on my kitchen, thanks mate.
cecompr_nt.dll in the zip file support both LZX and XPR compression or not?

It shouldn't since it's an old version, just overwrite it with a more recent one.
seems to be working great so far for me, thanks for the share airxtreme!
just tried this and damn it builds a rom fast
Wow, amazing
Really improve the build process
Thanks for this

So, I just need to replace the 2 files in my Ervius Visual Kitchen, I dont need to config anything?
A bug!
When i use LZX compression,the new imgfs.bin is larger than the imgfs.bin of XPR compression,but it is fast than before!Thx~

That shouldn't happen, the file size should be exactly the same. Did you use a recent cecompr_nt.dll to make LZH work?
Here's the cecompr_nt.dll that I use to get LZX compression.

I tried this on osKitchen and it worked fine, it should work on any kitchen that uses imgfsfromdump, probably your issue was caused by the LZH compression that didn't work with the included cecompr_nt.dll. Just use the cecompr_nt.dll that came with the kitchen and everything should be all right.

Just start kit. For further cooking.
Based at official release (and stable, I hope,- don't like to be beta-tester for HTC "in the dark").
It's new way for me (just began to use WinMob by Diamond), so don't bite me too much
Don't forget about Hard-SPL!
Few cosmetic changes & a little tweaked. UC ready.
In OEM left TouchFlo only.
In SYS out: OneNote, PowerPoint, WindowsLive, Help & other rubbish.
In "Install" folder - example only. You can change it to your own provider (look to OEM\CONNECTIONSETUPDB - password I found at XDA) or just use ConnectionSetup.
The most tweaks - in OEM\xxxconfig
Be careful to finish.xml - it's important file!
(return to "Internal Storage". Manila start including in this file too. You can customise it up to you. Same as *.rgu in this folder)
To find the bugs&errors better together, I think
Ideas&remarks - welcome!
It's OPEN PROJECT.
Kitchen: http://rapidshare.com/files/143594363/WWE_1.93.479.3_kitchen.zip
Example ROM (with pass for provision.zip):
http://rapidshare.com/files/143600258/1.93.19965.Light.rar
For make the same - just press !COOK.CMD in the kitchen.
Lighted packages:
http://rapidshare.com/files/144298572/PACKAGE_Diamond_PhoneCanvas.RAR
http://rapidshare.com/files/144138802/PACKAGE_Diamond_QuickGPS.RAR
The trick - in change heavy bmp files to compressed/indexed png.
And patched dll/exe, for use another files.
Not sure about using system resources in this way - up to you. Try.
Changes: http://rapidshare.com/files/144298443/changes_to_kitchen.rar
(Corrected ROM container: 19965 now. Was 20273 - just mistake. And help engine)
can I just install your rom on my Diamond?
Would like to try it, but dont want to fool around with the Kichen stuff
Been reading much on cooking the last days. This looks like a good start!
Thanks for sharing. Hope I can create my own Diamond ROM from here. If it's good enough for some of my friends I will share it on XDA as well

Not see the reason - only base functions.
You are right, but it's the fastest ROM I've ever tried
But like you said, it's very basic. Camera is not working, so you need to add all these yourself.
Now watching the kitchen files.. .."WinRAR gives the following message: Invalid or corrupt authenticity information"
It does seem to extract just normal. Is the RAR file save?
update: You might even remove the Office part from the light ROM??

Help system
I think idea to remove the help system absolutely is not the best.
Sometimes apps need it for normal work. May keep help engine alive?
Any opinions?
Please tell me one usefull hint that's provided to you because of the Help function?
For me it's wasted space on every device I've owned. If I encounter any problem they go beyond the help files
Looks pretty complicated with no real guide, will look into other kitchens!
I talk about engine (hwhelp) only. The most help files - "dead cargo", of course.
After try to push "help" button at some apps - error, could make system unstable.
P.S. made two "light" packages. ( see in the first post).
It use a little less memory, I hope.

2) another diamond rom with 20748 xip build.

You don't neet "base" rom (or what you mean?) it's example only.
If you talk about rom\os.nb in the kitchen - it's just container for rom, which is empty.

Thanks for your very QUICK reply Modilv!
So, I have just to take the parts of (maybe more) diamond romS that I need (including OS.nb??) and put theme in your kitchen..?
So simple?!
PS: no "porting" xip or something like that?
TIA
It't not "my" kitchen (just add bepe's utility to final step)
I made the "tree" only.
You can do the same.
Hi all, cooperating with udk, and thanks to the author of the tricks into \mytools folder (I'd like to thank but I don't know who he is!), XipporterEx was born, how it works.....
easy:
you have to insert into:
old xip, new xip to port, and your payload.....
in one click you can port all xip or only MSXipkernel, done it, you can inster xip_out.bin into your os.nb.payload, and if you don't know where, the rightg offset where insert it into payload, you can find it only clicking on a button, and finally you have your new os.nb.payload updated, ported and ready to cook....

I have triyed it using as old xip Diamond XIP 1.97 and new XIP Blackstone 1.14 20757, to port only MXKERNEL, it works without anywarning, but when I dump the xip using XIPPort some module are missing like :
cachefilt.dll
mencfilt.dll
relfsd.dll
htcfsfilter.DLL
kd.dll
and some other for which I have read that they can be deleted
Is it normal ?

the xip have to works better without all the unused modules (on diamond!) but you can try on other devices, and report witch are useless and witch not!
last version: 1.2 revision 6, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3007615&postcount=383
use your preferred os.nb.payload and your preferred xip (old and new!)
in this release you can port xips and now, remove uldr section, move xip and reduce unused space between xip and imgfd section, and your os.nb.payload will be reduced around 3.5 Mb, ready to be used to build new smaller (so more memory avaiable into rom on device ) roms

The problem with this revision is the resulting payload being only 3.8MB. For the ULDR removal and IMGFS increase to work we need to use the -conservative switch on nbmerge and ImgfsToNb tools. This switch doesnt allow the higher size imgfs to be packed into the lower size template
Also the tool doesnt modify the LBA & no of sectors of IMGFS partition and needs to be done manually, but again the payload wont work since the nbmerge has to be with -conservative switch. Hope I am sounding clear without confusions
I Used HTC Rom Tool. to make the NBH file. and it worked fine. my os.nb.payload file is now 4.11 mb. xip os is 20764. Available memory before was 203.49, size after was 203.49. So I am not sure what i did wrong. aside from the smaller os.nb.payload file. everything seems to be the same.
It does boot and everything is fine there.
I have been working on this new ROM Kitchen project over the last months.

Is removal of unneeded files from XIP supported, bepe??
this look fantastic bepe, as usual
even though I have tested it, I noticed two things:
1. Wouldn't replacing WINCE_NLS in the XIP from a different device, let's say, cause the phone not to boot?
2. What if the device you are porting from has a different resolution, wouldn't you have to change the files in the SYS manually?
other than that, it looks GREAT!
thanks again

yes, it possible to add/remove all files/modules you want. It works the same way as in IMGFS... just delete the file/module from the XIP package or add a new one to an existing or new package.
the Kitchen will not include files that are not needed like boot.rgu, *.rgu, *.dsm to the XIP section, so there is no need to remove them after the XIP partition is build.

1. replacing WINCE_NLS is not really a problem, but the size of the .nls file might be.
example:
- you are using a WWE Kitchen with a WWE nls size: 267 KB
- you want to change lang to CHT, the nls size would be 1500 KB
--> this means the size of the xip section would grow very much
--> ROM\os.nb.payload is WWE and would not have enough space for the bigger CHT XIP
--> ImplantXIP.exe should give you an error I think... never tried it...
solution: use the CHT os.nb.payload (just replace the WWE .\ROM\os.nb.payload by the CHS one)
The CHS roms would have more space for XIP, so all would be working fine
2. Using another resolution is not a good idea... most SYS packages are compatible, but there are packages like this:
- Base_DPI_192 - this is for 192 DPI like Diamond, Raphael, HD
- Base_DPI_96 - only for QVGA devices
- base_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640 - this package tells you the exact resolution it was made for
You could mix two builds, like using only new packages without *_DPI_192 or *_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640 in the name...
... but not really a good idea, even that many ppl are making that. Consider that there might be resources that might be changed
Would take a look at it, but the forum requires compulsory registration to view.
Please fix your forum.
It tells me I'm missing msvcr71.dll when I try and dump. I noticed that file is other kitchens so I tried to copy it over and it starts the dump but then RecMod.exe stops responding and it asks to close.
I keep getting this error when it comes to running platformbuilder
Code:
This aplication has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusal way
boo, I wanted to watch the tutorial on your forum again, getting an initflashfiles .dat not where it's supposed to be error. but your forum seems to be down, or under too high traphic right now, is there any way you would think of putting together a short text based info set on everything we need to know to dump and rebuild? if not, no biggie, I am sure I will figure it out, like any great new tool, there is always a learning curve Thanks much for sharing your work with all of us though
Good to see you back bepe!!! I will give this a shot later on today...
outstanding bepe!! I thought your tutorials were excellent too!
thanks bepe
tested your kitchen on my Elfin and it worked well except for implantxip, because i've reduced the size of my XIP partition in template payload, so implantxip gave me error like "no xip section found". i replaced implantxip with msflshtool and it worked fine. no other issues faced in ROM building and porting newer build for my Elfin . although i had to make some adjustments to Dump_200.bat for dumping the ROM.
also, we used buildxip for xip porting before and it had some specific switches like -g, -k and -f useful for enabling different kernel modes, changing fsrampercent etc. i was wondering if same is possible while xip porting with new kitchen or is the best setting chosen automatically?
and, do check your paypal for Transaction ID: 45A49499TS934251W
I made a kitchen for the Herald that creates ROMs in both XPR and LZX compressions and I was wondering if you guys wanted it ported to your phones?
If you want it, I need a few things. This ROM is compatible with Bepe's Extended ROM kitchen. It won't come with OEM, ROM or XIP folders as you can get those yourselves.
The way the kitchen work is:
Run "RunMe.bat"
Choose compression algorithm. (XPR or LZX)
Follow the normal Bepe's kitchen process.
Wait as the kitchen creates the ROM (like Bepe's kitchen, but with whatever compression you chose.)
The kitchen will automatically open up the imgfs.bin in a hex editor and automatically adjust it for the wanted compression before it builds the ROM.
It automatically inserts the proper XIP drivers.
It will automatically set the Pagepool to 4MB but give you the option to change it to something else as it does.
It then automatically creates the NBH and then finally launches whatever flasher (CustomerRUU, FlashCenter, or whatever your devices use) to flash the ROM.
For those who don't know what LZX compression is:
It's a compression algorithm that, although slower (by 1-4% in real life use) gives a good amount of free storage space. In some case (like in the Herald) it makes the ROM so small that it has to be flashed through an SD card due to the Herald's flashing size requirements. On an average 50mb ROM, it takes off about 10mb. The actual cooking itself does take a LOT more CPU and RAM to do in your PC, though. Especially the RAM. (It's because the tools that actually do the compression weren't really optimized for the job.)
Anyhow, let me know if you want it.

would it work with the newer bepe kitchen. i notice your herald version uses an older one. would it work copying the newer one into the working folder.

Copying it over wouldn't work. The kitchen in my sig is OLD. The new kitchen requires a lot of scripting modifications to the kitchen. It's not a drag and drop kind of thing.
So, what do you need?

I need someone to test the ROM to see if it boots before I release the kitchen.
The ROM was decreased from 59,145KB to 48,983KB. That's a little over 10MB saved.
I'll post the link to the upload once it finishes uploading.
I'll definitely test it once you get it uploaded
I'm having problems with the connection in my current location so I haven't been able to upload it. I'm sorry. I'll keep trying until it gets there.
Here it is!

Sounds great!
Same here! Will let you know when it's done flashing
(Done, now present in 1.31) Internal search system (search file names and file contents, edit the text files directly from the kitchen or launch an external editor)
Automatic localization (support for folder variables in initflashfiles.dat/app.dat to create entries valid for all languages (Done, now present in 1.31), using those variables during import to make ROM translation easier, automatic generation of new OEM_Lang_XXXX folders with a corrected initflashfiles.dat and renamed MUIs as soon as a compatible SYS is added, automatic fixing of all the packages' initflashfiles entries to match the new languages start menus, automatic package To CAB conversion to test all your packages on the phone (Done, now present in 1.32))
(Done, now present in 1.32) Total integrity check (checking the validity of every REG file and app.dat file, checking for broken module folders, checking for invalid SYS/OEM/EXT packages to reduce the hard to track ROM building issues to minimum)
Advanced file attribute management (setting the ROM file attributes according to the DSM file, adding an interface in dialog properties to change the DSM file list and applying file attributes automatically to the files that are not present in the DSM file list)
Internal ProvXML engine (much more accurate CAB to EXT conversion, provxml to REG and APP.DAT conversion)
Batch ROM import (adding long paths (up to 32000 characters) support to oskitchen to allow using the kitchen from any folder no matter where and adding a new internal tool that takes a folder of multilanguage ROMs of similar versions and builds a final Sources folder with all the localized files merged to start working on multilanguage ROMs much more easily)
EXT2 Package Replacement (an EXT format replacement that supports MNGE modules (no more module folders around) and folders with conditional names (for resolution, language, device, windows mobile builds, etc.) to make multidevice packages much easier))
Advanced ROM versioning (allow setting the version in the splash screen and in the RUU)
(Done, now present in 1.31) Manila management support (deleting unneeded localized manila files while building, adding a whitelist-based manila files compression to improve manila speed and free space on the ROM)
Improved UPX support (adding a file cache to remove the delays caused by the UPX compression during cooking process, switching UPX file selection to opt-in, UPXing all the files according to an online whitelist that can be updated/submitted from the kitchen)
Kitchen distribution tools (generating a XML file to allow changing the kitchen titlebar/about/help entries, to automatically load a selected device profile and to add an additional customizable tools menu, adding a "Temporary OS.NB" shrinking tool and a SYS cleanup tool to delete unneeded resolutions and languages)
I vote #9, then #5
so many great ideas .. can't we have all of them?
i guess you will work out on them sooner or later
thanks for all you effort

Exactly what I was thinking I love all of these ideas I love the direction this kitchen is heading great work airextreme!
if possible i'd vote for all as well
oh well let the voting begin
"Manila management support" would be great!!
I think you should include something to make different ROM Builds in one shot, to make all the .nbh files just by pushing the cook button once. (like a MaxSense version, CHT Version, Plain Version etc..) Also, an autimated compression + upload feature would be nice, too.

Can it turn on my coffee maker in the morning as well?

then it would have to be called the easy automated kitchen
I voted for deployment tools since I like control but would have also voted for integrity.
This seems like a better place to add other simple requests rather than in the kitchen thread here is a simple one
Add the full version number to "Help About".
I have 3 versions running and am current naming the folder to keep up with it.
OS kitchen
I will vote for #6 and #9
if wish a possibility to select back for easy folder structure (old kitchen). the separation for language, sys-versions, oem-versions ... is not realy nessassary (for me) and the overview of cooking would better.
integrating emulator/simulator for testing cooked rom.
you make very good job.

I second the motion. All are great future additions. Good work Air.
Having recently moved form EVK to osK, the one thing I REALLY miss is the internal search...being able to search within files for a keyword...and being able to double click the file to open it from the kitchen...made tweaking sooooooo much easier.

hello,
i confirm with you. i use totalcommander and pspad for more comfort.
totalcommander is good for listing all files from kitchen-root (without directories) with sorting by filetypes and pspad for searching by keywords.
How about the ability to build a dumpable rom
hoho.hello every one!
Well, I really nead a good PROVXML parser/validator, because straight app.reg editing is inactual now.
