[Windows Mobile] DillonDarko:
Hi,

I'm using the latest osKitchen (v1.33.5) to build my own ROM for the HTC Kovsky (SE Xperia X1). Followed the tutorial, imported the latest official R3A WWE build, added a WM 21916 build and started cooking. But there's no first boot customization after a flash/hard reset. There are no errors, executing AutoRun.exe from the Windows folder doesn't seem to work either.

The config.txt (used by AutoRun and RunCC) files are left stock, but editing them doesn't make a difference. How can I fix this? If you need more information, just ask. I'll reply asap.
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
Have you added the runcc.lua file and redirected it to the right config.txt?

If so, flash the ROM and look whether those files are in \Windows\ (and just not executed) or not present.
[Windows Mobile] DillonDarko:
Flashed the ROM: runcc.lua was already added and it redirects to the right config.txt. Paths are correct.
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
...

this happened to me not so long ago:

check that the autorun.exe and config**.txt files do not get overwrote during rom creation.

check that there are no duplicate files with those file names..

good luck!

[Windows Mobile] DillonDarko:
I don't think those files are being overwritten during ROM creation. How can I check this? Can't find the Autorun.exe in the kitchen but after building and flashing it is visible in the Windows folder on the device. There are no duplicate files, triple checked that.

Tried building a new kitchen from scratch, an untouched build (only importing the stock ROM and the 21916 build) didn't have a first boot customization either.
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
I remember figuring this out on my X1 a year ago was a pain in the a*s. Can't recall where the problem was anyway. I could upload my OEM Packages for you if you'd like to? I'm using a older version of that kitchen anyway so this "could" lead to new problems...
[Windows Mobile] DillonDarko:
That would be great! Please let me know what kitchen version you used, if there are any problems I can try to roll back to that one.
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
I PM'd you. Most persons would not know what to do with said files so it makes no sense posting them here I guess...
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
...

hey dude,

not sure what your problem is if all your config**.txt are there and there is no duplicate files, for me i had a mortscript called "autorun.exe" which obviously overwrote my original autorun.exe and caused my device to do no customisation.

erm, as for not finding your autorun.exe

lots of files in the kitchen are hidden and the windows hidden files toggle

does not show

all the hidden files for some reason :/

me personally i use ACDSee photo manager 9 to view the files in my kitchen, i then select all the files and untick the 'hidden' properties.

ALL the files you couldnt see in windows explorer are always visable using Acdsee, by unticking the properties with Acdsee, it now makes them visable in windows explorer.

hope you understand what i meen :s

btw, i only use acdsee9 to view my pictures and to change the properties of the files.

i edit all my images with photoshop and paint.

Rn
[Windows Mobile] DillonDarko:
According to my searching results this issue seems to be very rare. Posting the download link here shouldn't harm others. ;)

For osKitchen version number you mentioned in your PM, open the kitchen and use Help -> About. Don't know if this option was present in earlier builds, but at least in 1.33.5 it is.

I wasn't at the stage of using Mortscript in my ROMs yet. Untoggle hidden system files in Windows folder options did the trick, I found AutoRun.exe

Now I'm gonna sit and wait until the download is available...
[Windows Mobile] raving_nanza:
let me know when you are at that stage dude, ive got a small collection of usefull scripts that might prove themselves usefull.

cool man, but remember:

the windows hidden files toggle

does not show

all the hidden files.

Acdsee will show them all so none are hidden, trust me ;)

[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
NVM....thought of a some other problem...
[Windows Mobile] DillonDarko:
Will do.

For the others that might experience this problem, the download link for EXT and OEM packages available here. These packages are untested, but I'm cooking them now. Thanks for the help. Scroll down for the fix.
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
So I think it's working now?

@All: please be aware, those packages are device-specific and for HTC Kovsky / SE Xperia X1!
[Windows Mobile] DillonDarko:
Ok, tried replacing the existing packages with those from derliebewolf. Even when left untouched or using different (correct) commands there's still no customization. @derliebewolf, could you upload your "osKitchen.exe" and "Resources" directory for me? It's all I need, I can fill the kitchen from scratch there.

If this turns out to be a kitchen specific problem I won't hesitate posting it in the official osKitchen thread.
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
This is a pretty complicated problem to give advise.

Just a suggestion, didn't you modified/removed something from your initflashfiles.dat?

I mean the startup.

Compair it with a stock rom if you did and check if something is missing.

On my HD2:

You tried everything possible so I taught maybe this could be possible. :)

On Xperia it's probably about the same.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
You really need to leave the welcome.lnk line in there, or else you won't get the alignment screen and you can't boot the device up.
[Windows Mobile] DillonDarko:
Found the issue: an incomplete initflashfiles.dat. By adding the lines below to a stock initflashfiles.dat the whole issue has been fixed.

Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("CheckAutoRun.lnk","\Windows\CheckAutoRun.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("AutoShortcut.lnk","\Windows\AutoShortcut.lnk")

Turned out a stock initflashfiles.dat file doesn't have those lines included by default. Thanks to all for the help, expect a new custom Xperia X1 ROM soon. :D
[Windows Mobile] Laurentius26:
That's nice to hear, congrats. :)

Please at [SOLVED] to the topic title and I will link this thread to the solved cases sticky.
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
Which makes me woder whether those lines are missing in my initflashfiles.dat as well? RunCC is working perfectly anyway... Glad you solved it!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meppadua:
I want to switch to CM 7, can I download the ROM from ROM Manager and install through that? Already rooted the droid, currently running Sky Raider 3.5. What do I do for a sucessful and proper way to use CM7?

Thanks for all the help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
You can use rom manager, just make sure you select both check boxes saying: "Wipe data & cache" and "backup current rom". When you press ok, it will reboot your device and take you to recovery. The process is automated from there, and will automatically reboot your device when the process is compete (it may take a few minutes). The device should then boot normally into CM7, and you'll be good to go.

I suggest that you get to know your recovery, it will save you one day. There are millions of tutorials and guides out there to choose from, this is a good start. And, you can always reboot to recovery by powering down the phone, then holding the volume downwhile powering the phone on, then select recovery using volume buttons and power.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meppadua:
I know how to access the recovery, had to because I was stuck on the booting loop.

What about the radio and the other things that I need to update?

Thanks for your help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
What is your radio and hboot? Your radio should be 2.15.00.07.28 and up.

And hboot should be .92

Hboot can be found here: http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=77

Hello dear TG01 fellows,

I want first to thank all ROM moders for great contributions!

I would like to ask you:

Which ROM is in your experience most stable and best for using navigation? I have tried several but (in iGo for example) when it looses signal, it's now reconnecting and working....

Thank you for your oppinion!

Kind regards,

W.
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
Firstly, it's in wrong section. Should be in TG01 General, hopefully mods will redirect this thread or move it soon.

Secondly, have you looked at Pere's survey? It had few criterias for roms and may be one of those might help you.
[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Good question, i will probably be scolded for saying this, but i think stock, bog standard orange rom has best gps experience.

I have always had problems with gps on the TG01, no matter what rom, but we are not alone, HD2 users have similar problems
[TG01 General] rysiul:
I'd say mirom 1 rel5 is pretty good and now in testing this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997315 which seems to be as good as miro's. I always had problems with other ones but recently i made a long trip with miro's rom and everything was fine. with original tg01 rom i all the time was experiencing losing reception when using igo8 and it was coming back after a while. the other roms always managed to crash the satnav's.
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
IMO feropont's ROMs are the best for GPS, never had problems...
[TG01 General] WODP:
Thank you for replies. I will test reccomended roms and post feedbacks!

Mods, if thread should be in different section, i kindly ask you to move it (and sorry).

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testuser_01:
Hi,

I got 2 problems with connecting my HTC Desire HD to the PC.

First:

When I connect the cable and use charge only it's automatically used as HDD (if asked or automatically), I first have to switch on the menu to HDD and then back to Charge only, then it's working. Is this probably a known bug or even an app problem?

I remember I had this on 1.32 stock, on LeeDroid 1.5 and now on LeeDroid 2.2.2.

Second:

Probably a HTC issue with "screen off"..

I use a docking station to connect an audio speaker to it while the DHD is on it and the PC is also connected to the docking station, so I can use the HDD and adb etc.

When I use adb with screen on I can send input keycodes over adb to adjust the volume and they will be interpreted. If the screen is off I don't get a message but nothing else happens either.

Can somebody explain me what the problem is if I'm not alone with this?

Does someone know another way how to set the volume directly without keycodes and also retrieve the current status of the volume?

Hope somebody can help me. :)

Cheers

HI guys

I am using Dutty's latest 6.5 ROM. It is awesome fast, and great functionality.

One question.

I have a legit copy of mapsource Africa, and reinstalled Garmin Mobile XT.

For some or other reason, it just not seeing the map?

It says no map?

I have copied the map manually, and tried it automatically to storage:Garmin/ gmapsupp.img.

Has anyone gotten this? I tried 2 different SD cards, the map is unlocked. But the software is just not seeing the maps?

Thanks alot! :D

help me

My phone getting slower when i install the applications. the phone memory always decreased when I install every new apps eventhough I install it in my ext memory. What should I do? Can you help me?
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
What ROM are you using? And, do u use Apps2SD?
[G1 General] Effdee:
define memory

are you talking about storage memory , or ram?

reduction in storage shouldn't impact on performance, that is unless space is very tight and Android is constantly clearing caches.

What types of apps are you installing?

widgets and and service apps like news/weather, gmail , facebook , twitter etc etc will consume memory while they sync data. If you have several such apps the relatively constant syncing would impinge on overall performance.

if you do have many service apps first try increasing the time between syncs in its settings if you are still suffering then consider un-installing some of them.

re-reading your post I'm going to assume you are installing apps to external sdcard , and not an sd-ext partition.

this will still reduce the internal storage as only the apk is stored on the external sdcard the dex files ( aka dalvik-cache ) are installed on the internal storage.

but it is still unlikely a direct relationship between free space on internal and performance.

the apps on sdcard are stored in encrypted containers this might be causing the overhead, but in all honesty I have never actual used the external sdcard for apps so I can't say what the overhead is or even if it enough to be relevant, but many swear apps to sd-ext is better than sdcard so there may well be something in that theory..
[G1 General] DevilofanAngel:
I agree with Effdee. But more info would be beneficial for assistance. As previously asked, what ROM are you using? Is your SD partitioned? So on & so forth....

I alredy partitioning my sd card when I root it

How to install app2sd-ext?

Sorry if my english bad

I really appreciate all of you for helping me
[G1 General] BeenAndroidized:
How many apps did you installed? And how much internal storage you have left?

Also, how did you partitioned your SD Card? (IE: Cache, EXT, and FAT32)

Also, go to Setting > Applications > Manage Applications

Look at the the SD card tap to see how many apps the you downloaded are in that area. If none of them is there, that means that you install them in the internal storage. You can move some of them to SD card depending on the apps by going to the Downloaded tap and open each one up and click in "Move to SD Card".
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
You might think about updating to ezterry's new radio/spl for 14 extra MB of ram. That could help quite a bit. Also play around with CC settings maybe?
[G1 General] Effdee:
agreed, instructions here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

Make sure it is off, I tried cm7 and it was on by default, it seemed faster for a short time then became very slow

this idea of putting swap on a compressed ramdisk is crazy, and it just doesn't work

I'm very surprised it wasn't dropped a long time ago

as for a2sdext

the easiest is to use ra recovery ( partition sdcard )

and then a script like firerat aio ( the a2sd option )

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679572

even easier is

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/9731-magpie-2010-12-18-hotfix-002/

because it will automatically install the correct kernel ( if you do or don't install ezterry's 2708 radio/spl ) and has ui for a2sdext

Most difficult bit is partitioning the sdcard,
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
well, ... I do not agree fully. In certain situations, especially when there are many services running in background, it can help, *but* swappiness is to be set very low. So only almost unused parts od the memory are swapped out to compcache and can remain there ...
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Also see shadowch31 for a CC script and see if that helps. Stops,cleans and restarts CC I believe. Just throwing out ideas. Every phone works different. Just play :)
[G1 General] Effdee:
what is the point of using physical memory to store unusable pages of memory to only use cpu grunt to get it back into memory
[G1 General] AndDiSa:
As far as I know, single pages of a process will be swapped out, not the complete processes. So if a process has for example a lot of static data, which is not used during processing an activity, so this part can be swapped out to compcache. This will be compressed, so the phone has more memory available to start / hold in memory another process ... Especially when fast switching between processes is needed (launching sms-app when receiving a sms?) this *can* be an advantage.

Without compcache this process probably is to be re-launched, which most likely takes more time than switching tasks in memory.
[G1 General] Effdee:
swap is not very smart about what pages are swapped

end of the day swap was a fudge for linux's poor memory management

and as I said

with the cyanogen rom cc was on, I turned it off and things were much better

you can try and convince me otherwise, but seeing as I have already compared cc on and cc off and find cc off to be much better I doubt you will change my mind
[G1 General] dhyqa:
i installed 27 apps and i only have 15.14MB left

i don't know what method i use for partitioning my SD Card, but i do it using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=727688

i already do that too. but it dosn't make sense, my SD Card keep decreased when i installed new app

so do i have to reinstall my ROM or i just have to install only a2sdext?

i'm sorry if i ask too much. I'm just a newbie and sorry if my english bad :(
[G1 General] Effdee:
once you have partitioned your sdcard, after backing up because you will loose everything on sdcard

then run the firerat script

no need to reinstall rom

unless you want the ui for moving apps, this is easier then using the shell script in Firerat
[G1 General] dhyqa:
hhmm.so i have to partitioning my SD Card again right?

to run the firerat script i have to go to fast boot?
[G1 General] Effdee:
yes afraid you need to repartition sdcard for sdext

many ways to do it but the easiest is with ra recovery

like I said you need to backup stuff on your sdcard first

and you run the firerat script in the rom using terminal
[G1 General] dhyqa:
okay

i think to reinstall the new Rom that you gave me is the easier one method than the other one that you've explained to me. and i already try it and it work very well :)

thanks for everyone who help me find the solution :)
[G1 General] Effdee:
it would be very interesting to know if you get better performance with the same apps that were on sdcard now on the sd-ext.

I've not got round to doing my own tests on that yet
[G1 General] dhyqa:
yes. Now I don't have to waiting to long again to open or to close the app. Because now I have a spacious memory. And I think maybe I'll try to use the radio that you tell me to increase the memory

But not every app can be placed in sd-ext like adobe reader and aldiko book, it still decreased the internal memory

But I think it's better than before :)
