someone who can post the rom?

thank you xplode (and the others) for your Great work!

Sorry... but is there any good soul who would provide me with a precooked 3.5.2 nk.nbf rom? It's horrible, but none of my computers can build it due to insufficient RAM :( (old asus lap and macbook with parallels and only half a gig)

I would be very very grateful... if you can't nevermind :)

Goodday!

Great Kitchen

I really like this kitchen way of building a ROM: Fill it to the rim with stuff you want and still keep plenty of space free for data and an extra application or two.

I have a suggestion for the BuildOS program. (I'm not quite sure that this would be the best place for this, maybe something I should suggest to Bepe on Buzz?) It would be great if it would include for each option how much space it would take/safe if the option is include or left out.

That way, you'll know before you run the batch file if the options you choose will fit in the ROM or not. It might not be an totally exact figure that can be calculated (??), but it should be a good indication.

To me, it doesn't look that complicated: Extend the XML file with a field that indicates that size of the package. The .NET application will then need to be adjusted to read the information and display it. I think that there are some standards grids for that would make that not a too difficult job.

What you think? Good idea and/or can this be done?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] motisu:
I think that's a GREAT idea. I usually have to run the create Bat file 3-4 times before I get a ROM which has a few free sectors and is not too full.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
yes i have this in mind, with one more idea, to include the automaticcaly run of the batch file and display the output in the program window, but i am not a good programmer (i'm amateur), but we can suggest this to bepe, he it the mastermind behind this kitchen

also my idea is to detect every package size and display it, because for the newer AKU the size changes

Fot the future:

and if there is way of nk.exe hacking and driver hacking to incorporate into the kitchen it is possible to create universal rom kitchen for all devices

so the model should work like this

Choose device - this will set the options for a device - location of xip and imgfs start and end and stuff like this and batch file for the device

XIP building - nk.exe and other drivers located in xip hacking (and coredll.dll of course), building XIP based on

IMGFS building - like the current kitchens do - but with included size analizer for packages

ROM building - the batch file which use mamaich tools (by device - one batch specific for every device) which output info to display in program window

ROM Flashing - if it is possible to run the proper upgrade utility which also display info in main window and the utility to run is defined from selection of the device

and this is the model which will be great to have

but at this point it is just my idea, i have no coding skills to do it. i will show it to bepe and will see what he eill tell

More or less how much physical ram and virtual memory should we have? Perhaps this is the reason I have not been able to create a suitlable Rom yet. My laptop has 512mb physical ram and 800mb virtual memory. I guess it's not enough.

Improving the Kitchen

@xplode:

I do have more than a decade of programming experience so I should be able to work on some of the software. However, all the programming I've done is not in the MS environment (but in Lotus Notes & Domino), so it will not be as easy.

A large part of the batch file could easily be converted to simple VB code (or C# etc). I assume the CreateOS.exe is VB.NET, so it should not be too difficult to get a few more step of the batch file into the executable. However, the BuildImgFS program (the one that eats up all the memory) is not so easy to get into the VB-like program without the source

However, maybe Mamaich can be persuaded to release the source code of the programs he wrote. I did some searching on the xda fora and it seems that this particular program was made already back in 2005 (just not sure about the version). It would also not be bad to do a little bit of work on that program to make sure there is some free space at the end of the process, but that is just side stepping.

I don't know in which programming language the BuildIMGFS would be in, but with some luck, the code can be inserted into the same .NET project (since .NET should allow different programming languages into the same project) without changing to much of the essential code (just the wrappers: from stand-alone executable to DLL-like that can be called from the .NET program.

I haven't seen (noticed) that anyone who wrote build tools included the source code as well. Maybe because it's not the cleanest code and the creator might not be that happy to release it, but like with the other code (like CreateOS.exe), the source code will need to be shared, for others to have a go at it.

But since that's what forum is great at: Sharing software to make our PPC beter, I hope that source code is not different. I would even argue that it will be less of a problem to share source code then ROMs...

(maybe we should move this discussion to a different thread? Would also be usefull if we could make the whole build process device indepedent/universal)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
Well mamaich posted the source for hes apps look in the development and hacking section, for BuildOS you can contact bepe for the source, and yes it is written in .NET

hope this helps, or maybe we can start new topic into development and hacking section, with name Universal rom kitchen for all devices or something like this, so many people can join this project and it will develop easy with mny people and suggestions
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
Well if you wonder what is difrent in every rom(i mean fo every device) i will tell you this is the XIP sector position NK.exe, Drivers snd format of flashed rom image (NBF, NB0, NBH and others) all other things can be used to cook roms for difrend devices, so it will be not so complicated task

i will be on vacantion for a few days but when i get back i will make flash mockup of what i mean so the developers get basic view of what should be done (UI only, thats what i can help with)

also it can be made for both WM5 and WM6 since the roms have same methods for dumping and building

the source for mamaich tools is available here

Hi!

I downloaded and instaled the image that was postet from a user some sites ago. All work fine, except from WLAN.

After i turned WLan on, he try to cnnect to the network, THEN he connectet and in the next secont WLan is OFF again. I don´t know wye this hapend, but on Helmis last Release WLAN worketd fine. I have not changedt anything on my WLAN Settings at home.

In the log from the WLAN AP the Mac address of my Qtec 9090 was shown, but like i say.. the PDA turns WLAN off ater he connectet allready.

Any solutions?!

Except of this Problem al work fine.

about wlan when you turn it on by wireless manager it will shutdown then you can control it from comm manager
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SKSAustin:
Hi!

Now i have build my own Image with your packade. And it orks so far...

Wlan.. i must turn on WLAN in Comm Manager, then it works.

BUT an error in MMS recaiving.

Like i make it in the Helmi Version, i make a New Modem, give it the AP Name from the wlan, and use my provider settings to connect. Then under MMS i choos this connection for mms download. In Helmi it works... mostly i turned on Wlan, then i recaive the MMS and he use the wlan connection that allready turned on.

If i make it with your Version, then he say..

"In order to send/download MM messages, the current active connection may be closed. Do you want to continuet?"

If i say YES, then he say "the answering modem has disconnected....." an i can only choos dismiss.

Wye this question for cloing the active cnnection comes on?

Now.. everytime i dock my Qtec9090 with the Docking Station, then the Text ""In order to send/download MM messages, the current active connection may be closed. Do you want to continuet?" apairs where i can anwser Yes or No.

Since some hours a text came up that the Message that i willling to download is to be exspire if i download them anyway, or don´t or if i wane delet them. But after klicking Download on this the question from above came again.. ""In order to send/download MM messages, the current active connection may be closed. Do you want to continuet?"

What is the problem? Eny hints?

EDIT: I don´t know wich MMS version is in the Helmi Rom, b ut on Helmis last Rom it works. Is there a Cab with the MMS Composer Version that was in the Helmi Rom?! IF the MMS Composer Version can be the reason...?!?!?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SandStorm:
The problem, is that the internet connection you have, is different for MMS's.

So, you cannot receive MMS's with your PDA internet connection active, also, you cannot use Internet while receiving MMS's.

If the configurations were the same for both services, it wouldn't be a problem, but since they are different, then, yes, it is a normal problem, and thats nothing wrong with your BA.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
for MMS you can only use the provider internet settings for mms, when you dock it probably you get internet from your PC thats why you get strange errors, also you can disable internet to the pocketpc from activesync
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SKSAustin:
hi

Sorry,but the problem only comes with this wm5 vesion. With the helmi version it works.

AND..I don't use gprs internet for mms, because I go over my wlan a.p.

I use the same config that worket in helmis la t rom release,therfore I wounder about the connection question that came up.

there is a tool called megamanager you can download it from megaupload, you can create free account there just to use this software. The software allows you to download and upload files with support for resuming, and the free account cuts the waiting time in half
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
EDIT: I have edited the text to make my point clearer. please re-read.

I didn't pay attention to the number, my rationale was more on the specs that you usually get things faster with compressed binaries because, even though they are slow to decompress, you make up the speed because reading from storage is so much slower. UPX compressed files on NTFS usually showed compression levels gettin at less than 40% of the original size. Some of this will be offset because IMGFS is compressed too, but We wouldn't get any benefit from it.

The problem I got was that I was not able to run Windows Live Messenger at all.

I thought it was an UPX problem, and since I had compressed so many things, I simply decompressed 3.5.2 again and started over without my UPX compressed files.

But WLM was still NOT working!

I have tried many diferrent ROM cooks, and in NONE WLM was working. I finally re-extracted everything again, but this time I didn't add the OEM EXTRA packages. So, I think there is something in the OEM EXTRA stuff which is breaking WLM. I tried using Cyberion Voice Dialer, Backup Task Manager, SMS alert fix, WMStorage and XCPUscalar.

My las try was cooking the ROM without any extra OEM packages (but with the packages merged in the OEM folder), but it didn't work either. So, there might be some incompatibiliy at some level on the OEM package with 3.5.2... which is a pity... care to check?

WLM works on a plain 3.5.2 ROM without the OEM Extra packages merged though.
