Alot of people have been asking for this and although there are many tutorials on how to cook your own ROM, this is specific to the Samsung Omnia i900 kitchen by the guys at PDAclan and mrtoto tools from PDAMobiz, so thanks for all the great tools. I will not be going through stuff like creating your packages and such as there are many tutorials on that. Only things releated to the Samsung Omnia i900 kitchen will be focused on. Samsung Omnia
As with real cooking, different people have different ways of doing things, so this is the way I prefer to do it. Samsung Cell Phone tips & tricks
Edit: Before starting, please make sure you have the latest framework installed, you can get it here, if not the tools will not function properly and errors will occur.
- First get either a .exe updater or PDA.bin (rename if you must) file and dump it in the root directory. Drag and drop either the .exe to extractrom_exe or PDA.bin to extractrom_bin

- If you used a .exe updater, the eboot, csc and phone .bin files will be extracted out, you need these files for later, when repacking the .exe installer.

- Once extracting is done, there will be OEM/SYS folders and a new XIP folder in ROM.

- You should see these folders in OEM (left) and SYS (right)
