So, if I want to be able to select packages with a check box, I have to go through and make my own xml file with all of the GUID numbers from each package and, THENput it in the folder?

The MMS folder from Faria is combined with other applications. Is there a smaller package, or am I going to have to go through and clean out the junk I don't want? I'm being plain lazy today, and I want immediate gratification.

Geez, I'm sounding like a newb....LOL
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
Yes thats what im trying to say..

In my first post of course in the first page.. i have there a seperate file for CAMERA and MMS...

lol..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
Yes, and that MMS folder by faria has FOUR apps in it, three of which I don't care about having in this ROM.

The camera folder is the same way.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
I think I'm going to go through and make some packages tonight and replace those.

to

Am i the only one to have this issue? its possible i had it hard set in one of my packages, just figured i would double check with folks.

So far this rom is working really well. Only a couple of issues i have noticed, but they are with my packages. thanks again!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
well goodluck..

btw, had you manage to fix your problem about nothing happened regarding the BuildOS.exe?..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
I agree and didn't use it, but i wasn't sure if he was looking for the check boxes or not.

thanks agian for your work on this, its looking really good so far

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
i think its .Net framework related.. try reinstall .Net CF.. im not sure..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
Alright, I'm not getting this. I put all of the custom package folders in the OEM folder. I then ran the buildOS command. The only check box was the pocketxpdf application. I checked it and pushed the green arrow. The application made the OS and I converted it and flashed it. Nothing changed. Now what am I doing wrong?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
Where in the world did you get those check boxes? I didnt include it in my kitchen.. thats the reason why you get your ROM screw..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
What stuff can be safely removed from the ROM to get some more OEM stuff in there? Everytime I try and run CreateROM.bat file it fails towards the end of the source files with an error:

Any unhandled win32 exception occurred in BuildImgfs.exe [2380]. Just-In-Time debugging this exception failed with the following error: 0x800400b3
Check the documentation index for 'Just-In-Time debugging, errors' for more information

Since the error contains the value '0x800400b3' and the file it stops on is towards the end of the alphabet (W or X I think?) my assumption is there is too much stuff in there. I can get Voice Commander and HTC ZIP & X-Button in there and that's about it.

With the previous mUn ROM I managed to get Adobe Rader, Faria's Camera & Streamer package (edited because of the overlapping files), MMS, Bluetooth FTP (doesn't work in any ROM other than Faria's unfortunatley), Task Manager, Total Commander, HTC ZIP, HTC X-Button 1.5, Battery Status, Live Search, Pocket Streets 2006 & the SIP Config tool 2.0.1. All without any issues.

Anyone else noticed this :confused:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
Sad to say mUn uses different method to compile/build this ROM.. And that method makes the ROM more free Ram (up to 35MB free) but there cons here is that the limit size for OEM is now 54MB instead of 57MB..

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
So, over the Vanilla we ain't gonna be able to add much to this ROM? What's the point in having a Kitchen for it :confused:

I am going to look through what's in the SYS folder and see whether it can be stripped back..... Luckily I have a spare Wizard I can play around with :)

Has anyone created the option.xml file so you have the option in the BuildOS.exe GUI of removing stuff like sql etc?

Thanks

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
well.. what i did for mine is all of my OEM is just a shorcuts and that shortcuts are all pointing to Ext ROM.. besides its 9MB
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
No luck with voice command. Also, I got a double power icon. One was on the "personal" tab and the other was in "system".

There are a couple of other missing items, but I'll use Molski's kitchen to iron out the minor issues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Ok can i not ask something, why do we have to two different kitchen???

Why do we not have one, and then you can just make the packages to copy in to the kitchen.???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
Because I can fine tune using some of the aspects of Molski's kitchen by opening the .hv files if necessary.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
Can anyone sort this out? The \SYS folder from the previous mUn ROM is 59.8MB (67.2MB size on disk), whilst this one is actually smaller - 55.8MB (62.7MB size on disk). I really want to try this ROM out but not having anything integrated into the ROM (well not much anyway....) is a real letdown :(

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
Can you start from the scratch?.. i think you already screwed your kitchen.. thats why you have something missing.. double files.. etc..

make a clean one.. delete the old and extract/make a new one..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Ya you can do that in faria kitchen too!!! it is more automatic with faria, but you can do the same stuff!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] GreatWizard:
Then stay away from this thread if you're a faria's fanatic
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
What is your problem? Get with it mate!! I am just asking why we have two when we all could work together for making the 1# best rom.

I just want the best we can get, but with guys like you maybe i should stay at the better part then try and help guys like you to get a better rom

If you dont have some thing good to say, DONT SAY ANYTHING.

Now to the other GOOD people, as both kitchens are close to the same apart from some little things.

Lets talk here!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
You know, I was going to do that, until I loaded up some files from Faria's kitchen and voila....voice command works. The double power icon is a registry bug that I'm tracking down. My guess is that it's in one of the packages I have added, not in the ROM itself. This is truly a good kitchen. It just took a little patience. Even with VC running and active sync in the background: 27+ MB available. WOW!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
the kitchens are roughly the same. I actually use both, but i prefer this one. I think its more an organizational thing for me. Just like Faria has his files and rgu's and packages organized where it makes sense to him, i have the same thing with this kitchen. Faria's is easier to use, but that isn't always the deciding factor for me.

Real question

I noticed that after running CreatRom.bat, the file 80040000-OS.nb is placed in the temp folder.

My question is: Why is it the same size and date as the one that is in the ROM folder (that came with the original rom)? It appears that it's only getting copied and not modified. Am I missing anything?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ANTC:
opps damn Firefox spell check auto fixed my bad spelling to that lol
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
When you make the rom, it is always the same date and size!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
I had the same problem. I flashed that, and it was the original mUn rom. I had to manually run imgfstonb.exe from another kitchen to create a new .nbf file. Any thoughts 004?

Also, for me voice command "has encountered a problem." and asks for restart which does not help. CorePlayer "cannot be opened...try reinstalling or restoring this file". Flash Player "has not been registered for this device."

I also note the duplicate power icon in personal and system settings. The one in personal settings is not functional however.

Otherwise all seems well. Thanks mUn and thanks 004!

Follow up

Hate to follow up on my own post, but here goes...

I copied the voice command packages from faria's rom over directly and its now working. Removed flash player and core player for now. Can live with dupe power icon for now.

I rewrote CreateRom.bat to do what it's supposed to. (I wonder if I have an old version of the 004 kitchen?) If you are having the same problem as mattk_r and I were you can download the following with enclosed instructions.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Nice! I thought something was strange... I'll give it a run now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
i don't have the duplicate power icon. its showing up in both personal and system settings?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Well, at least it is for jwzg and I. Maybe its some tinkering we've done in common?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] double_ofour:
Guys.. if you found something strange about duplicate icon and some files missing.. the only solution is to backup your OEM packages and make a clean one/ start a new one from the scratch.. because just my theory is you screwed your SYS folder or the kitchen structure it self.. i dont know.. just my theory..

-----------------------------------------

And about the Same size/date/time of the 80040000-OS.nb in the ROM folder and in TEMP..

Yes it should be.. because imgfs tools are poiting to the nb inside the ROM folder as its BASE rom..

-----------------------------------------

About the Flashing a ROM but still the same old ROM appears.. it happened to me several times but my solution there is to check/verify the encoded nbf after you used the nb2nbf tools..

-----------------------------------------

If you still found a problem.. please post it here and im willing to help..

I agree that it's a pain to get all the new issues worked out on a new package. Since I got the phone about 6 weeks ago, I've bounced between different releases trying to find one that meets all my needs. Now that I'm at a comfort level to dig deeper (and was home sick for the last 2 days), I figure it's time to play.

I've spent that time learning how to add OEM packages, edit the hives, play with the Options.xml and UUID's so BuildOS will work correctly, and mess with the splash screens. Next I'll need to dig into the extended rom...

Granted, it may be another day or two before I get my anal-retentive ways satisfied and have the "perfect" rom cooked, but I hope that in the end I have the latest and greatest and know a crapload about every little detail if its innerworkings.

Someday I hope to have the maturity and reserver you show, and I'll probably have a lot more time to spend with the family...:rolleyes:

In my rom i want the program spb-backup and batterystatus.

Both cab-files from both programs contain a file called setup.dll

When running BuildOS i get the error code that the file setup.dll allready exists.

This is because it first installs the file from spb-backup and then again wants to install it for batterystatus.

How to solve this?! Both programs need the file, i assume that both files have the same name but are different.
