Hello Wallaby-Users.

I've transferd the kitchen to a new server. You can reach it now at http://www.romkitchen.de

Cooking process should be faster now and also the transfer speed should be now gigantous.

So Happy Cooking.....

I want to ask an off-topic question :

Is XDA-Developer already get the 4.00.05 WM2003 rom?

As we only can get the 4.00.01 now, does it compatible with the script?

Jeff : Thanks for your page, I am downloading a modified 4.00.xx rom now. Did you put a 4.00.01 rom for modification or you got the 4.00.05 already?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] smaslift:
Hi everybody,

This must be the most exciting website on earth; building one's own ROM !!!

I do not pretend to know what most of you guys are discussing as I really do not have a clue about programming. Just one question if anyone is patient enough to answer - in Jeff's Kitchen page- does it mean that I tick what I like and then download the formulated rom and unzipped that file and copy into a sd card and I could flash it onto my xda using the method(SD card bootloader method) described by Sheran in the forum?

I believe I need win 2000 or win XP OS to do this right?

Cheers

when writing sdcards, be warned that the newer version of xdarit has more serious bugs than the older version. so beware.

you can also select 'nbf' and plug it in a programme-a directory, with adaptrom. ( as is in jeff's exe for SER-1.2 )

THE DIFFERENCE FROM 4.001 to 4.005

OK...Im very excited and impressed. :lol: I would just like to first say "thanks" to everyone who is working hard on the ROM versions.

I flashed my T-mobile (after upgrading the radio to AT&T) to 2003 version 4.001

I now see with the kitchen util that there is 4.005 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Other than the software in ROM what does this give me more?

BTW the speed difference in my Radio upgrade and/or 2003 is incredible.

They are part of the normal ROM.

Why run 'lean and mean'? These programs only use space which is sitting empty otherwise, and it doesn't use more battery-power to jam some useful things in there. I mean, some of these programs aren't for everyone. But stuff like PocketMVP is really a must-have for anyone using it to play MP3s for instance.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Correct on all points.

Replace NBF on Programme A directory?

I'm not a techie, so please confirm whether my understanding is correct:

1. Run Jeff's kitchen after selecting version and add-ons that I require.

2. Download from Jeff's kitchen in NBF format.

3. Extract NBF file from the zipped download into the Programme A/english directory.

4. Run Programme A

Will this work?

Bugs

So far I encountered some "bugs" in the new version:

The "Lock-all-buttons-when-off feature" is broken, there is no such option in 2003 ROM and although it works, it rather messes the device up when receiving a call.

I don't understand why is the version number increased (4.00.05), it is the same build as the old 4.00.01 (build 13100)

Also, SD card formatted on PPC2003 appears unformatted in SER 1.2...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Re: Bugs

OK, it seemed to work, but I'll make it a PPC2002 only option then.

I think we actually found some differences, but they were rather minor, you're right.[/quote]

Hmmm, that's annoying... Can anyone check why this is? I've seen some registry options which seem to determine the default filesystem for the various devices, so if it's just a setting it'd be nice to make it tweakable.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Zviratko:
Most people don't need to format their cards, I think you can leave it as-is.

The card however appeared as formatted in SD reader, only PPC2002 seem to have a problem.... I wonder why a thing so simple as FAT can not be working :)

XDA ROM Kitchen Upgrade

Guys

Terrific kitchen - makes us hungry for more !!! This is simply phenomenal. Thank you xda-developers and jeff summers. Upgraded successfully and no issues so far (about 4 minutes). Used an older version of Programme A and hence took an hour to flash the ROM. Next time I'll use the O2 version which seems so much faster.

PS: You may want to include Converter in the list of options - very useful if you happen to travel around and have to deal with different units in different places...

If only the XDA could mix cocktails, cook dinner and clean up afterwards..

Cheers

As you can see in the Showroom Kitchen, we added the option to make installer EXE files. Kitchen operators need 'Programme A' as well as WinRAR and do a little work because we cannot distribute Programme A. The instructions are in the readme file in the How-would-you-like-your-ROM dir in the data tree.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] max me up:
I must say I am very impressed with the skills and knowledge of Jeff and the xda-developers on this forum.

However I have a problem that applies to ALL PPC 2003/ WME2003 ROMs and that is I cannot recieve sms messages! Sending them is fine, and making/recieving phone calls is good also but I cannot recieve the messages!! Surely if there was something wrong with the radio stack (4.21) then the xda wouldnt work at all??

I look forward to replys!! Has anybody else had these experiences??

Hi,

When choosing Wm2003, can we also add the EVB support file that microsoft left out? :( I think those files are really big 1mb+ it would be a better idea to add them into the rom so we don't have to be bothered when adding programs that uses EVB support files like the chat program inside the developers kitchen. :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ejdmoo:
To re-enable cleartype, just go to settings|system|screen. It's right there. No panic. ;)

Now, can you guys include AIM in this release? AIM is actually free from here, because T-Mobile has a deal with AOL to have IM on their devices, including the pocket pc.

Now, even though it's free, I can understand if you can't include it, but then is there a way we can upload a file ourselves and put it in? (I know, complicated :))

xda-developers,

I just saw that u have posted the self extracting option on the webiste.

I created the archive but i have a questions.

name the resulting self-extractor _rom.exe

should i save it as self-extractor _rom.exe file? did i understand correctly?

nd place in the _

directories under the ROM files.

I'm not sure where it goes under? can u guys provide a path?

one more thing:

When i build a rom and try to click on the button that says download now, i get a pop that says "unable to find rom file to download. i looked at the code and looks like script is looking for /download/download.php file, which is not present. i fixed it by changing the reference to a button to an actual link to download the rom. DO u have a fix for this?

thanks

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
call it "_rom.exe".

.../data/00_Base Rom/3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro/_/_rom.exe

or likewise for the other ROM.

Oops, the download directory got excluded on a file copy here. I put the download.php where it belongs. It's nicer with the script because it turns off any and all caching to make sure you never get a cached copy.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] vagelis:
Congratulations and thank you to all the chefs of this delicacy from xda-dev's kitchen :D

Couple kinks that might need a touch-up:

When using the WM 2003 ROM adding iChat or D9 as options, although the VB Runtime gets in the ROMCode, when you try to run them the system still prompts for the eVB Runtime downloiad. It appears that the eVB runtime download for WM2003 is different than the files the ROM loads for the apps :(

Also, for WM2003, on a US xda, the Bandswitch app returns error in its config screen and doesn't seem to allow any modifications.

You guys rock, and thank you all :)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:

Yeah, the bandswitch app needs to be made PPC2002 only for now... I'll do that
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] vagelis:

This may be off the subject or a stupid question but can someone confirm please before I use ROMkitchen for the first time.

a) Just wondering if ROM version 4.00.05 is the latest WM 2003 and how stable once installed on the XDA in percentage?

b) I'm wondering when receiving SMS messages does the Contact Name show in Inbox under 4.00.05 ENG ppc2003?

c) The Today screen and appearance OPTION I deselected all the option . Will I still see O2 screen appearance after installation?

Now that everything is working for me, i would like to costumize my 2003 like i did before with 2002. For example i would like to have my today screen blank and disable Show owner info, inbox, etc from the today screen. on ur SE 1.1 i was able to modify default.reg to my liking. However i'm not sure how to do this in the kitchen. Do i modify _default.reg in the 4.00.05 rom directory? if that's the case i looked at it and it seems to be missing a lot of settings that 2002 had. or should i use the addreg file to modify it, by creating an entree in the kitchen screen?

also is there a way to install something but not right away. like if i would like to install something but not on the intial boot up?

I've discovered the developers have been silently fixing stuff in their kitchen all day. So I built a script that updates my kitchen to theirs every 2 hours. wget rules.

Folks: I'm a fairly decent sysadmin, and I have friends with fat Internet connections. I mean, I know how to compile and host stuff, but as far as PocketPC is concerned, I am no wizard.

So I'll just (automatically) download the xda-developer files, and add my own ROM images and other files to make it work, and offer you all the service. But I'll leave the addition of new stuff to others, since I'm way too scared I'd break stuff.

You guys are realy awesome :)

One thing thing that I'd like to bring to your attention:

It seems that AdaptROM doesn't like the WM2003 ROM. Although I've edited the string to match my original T-Mobile ROM header settings, every single one of the ROM's I've cooked comes up with a blank string in the header (when viewed with a file editor)... I have no problem loading it with the Bootloader method, so I am not sure if it's only the string I use or else: PW10B1-ENG-3.14-002, the original T-Mobile ROM string of last November's update.

Anyone else experiencing this?
