Yeah yeah, I started the Wiki but then didn't go further with it. Let me see about getting those pages into shape over the next few days. Only issue is that I don't think I can store files in the Wiki but will ahve to have someplace to upload the files and then point the wiki entries to it. I guess I could create an area in the ftp site here for these in the Upload area and then use that. Or use the forum entry and point the Wiki directly to each entry.

I'll play around with this and see what I can come up with. IF anyone else has suggestions for this, let me know... I'm hoping some of you will help contribute some packages to this.

Issue

Is there a way to flash the rom without going back through all the rebuilding steps. Basically I think my computer just decided to close some USB connections right before the flash so it obviously didn't take. I have the complete verison of the ROM nk.nkb and all now how to I just have that flash instead of rebuilding the entire thing again?

As so far, when the bat file or I load the romupdate it says update From Version 1.2 too blank.

That might have been two questions but...yes well...thanks in advance.

(BTW yes its unlocked, i have a WM5 Mr. Clean on it now...)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] aitzindari:
Hi. Thanks for your help. Yes, I have a g4 CID Locked wizard, and I have succesfully instaled the 2.26 ROM of T-Mobile. THe Tutorial you pointed out is really good thanks. But is it not that ROM the real thing? I would like to install the revised version of FARIA´s crossbow and I can´t see the way of doing it following those steps. Is there an EXE file for the latest Faria ROM? Thanks

By the way thanks for your work FARIA
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Yeah, the way it works is that it builds everything into the flashrom directory and then just runs the rom update utility there. So you can just go to the flashrom directory and run the rom update utility. You just need to make sure the nk.nbf file is legit. If not it will be a bad flash (but should be recoverable with a clean rom flash).

The 2.26 rom is not "the real thing" but a WM5 rom. What you will need to do is similar to my reply above but you have to do it the way a G4 does it (which I don't know those steps). Use the files in the flashrom directory and use shell tool on that (I think I'm saying that right). Does that make sense? Someone familiar with G4's may be able to answer this better, but basically your flashrom directory is the same as a regular rom update exe file that has been unarchived.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] tank27:
Thank you mfrazzz. i didnt change the file in the sys folder. did that and everything is fine now. working a lot better thanks for all your help... btw i do not see an upscaler option in battery status
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edhaas:
Just to restate mfrazz's advice: Run the kitchen to set up the rom the way you like it. After you get to the screen where you fill in the flash rom and the logo and startup screens, do that and let it run. After it finishes it will try to go right into flashing your wizard, but don't. Exit out of all the kitchen programs. Now look in the C:\Dev_WIZcrossbow Clean-V2 directory. Then in the flashrom subdirectory. You will find an nk.nbf file in there. Now follow the directions in the link mfrazz gave you and which you started using. But instead of using the original nk.nbf file from Faria's original rom, use the one in the flashrom directory above. Hope this helps.

Regards,

The update too version never shows up, even after a complete rebuild w/ no errors, the update part just errors out. Started manually it doesn't even see the nk.nbf . Any ideas?

When I run romupdateutility.exe, it get to the progress bar than the phone turns off. I have to pull the bat restart and it works fine just not updated.

try taking that file out of the kitchen and tell me if it works agai or not!!! Strange, cus i did not have a problem with the file!!! are you adding that file to the kitchen, as there is already a copy in there!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RickoT:
First off I want to say thanks!

The whole concept of using this thing has been smooth, simple and straight forward. I do have a few odities and questions that I wanted to share with people to see if they are having the same kinds of problems I am with WM6

Within the Builder:

1. How do I set the builder to move files to certain locations... I know how to copy them its in the PDF, but why waste the space twice over? I'd much rather install the packages manually than waste memory space or leave them in the windows folder.

Within the OS:

1. The device seems to randomly reset once a day. I do have it slightly overclocked, but even when I dont it still seems to do it

2. The battery meter does not appear to be completely unreliable. My battery used to go down about 40%/day but all day yesterday it was at 100%, then suddenly it started dropping about 1% for every 5 minutes.

3. The O/S doesnt seem to remember my today screen settings. Sometimes after a soft reset my today screen font colors dont stay. so I have to go and apply a different today theme, put the other one back, and then re apply my backaground....

4. The battery status application will no longer show the second information bar (temp, power drain, etc..) even if I deselect and reselect the options...

any thoughts on any of this stuff??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Ok trying to log in to Windows Live, but getting a massage saying that i need a certificate to run it, does anyone have this message too!!! or know what i need to get it working, as i think i am missing something!

DOES not matter, time was wrong so it did not like it!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mostberg:
I did take the file out of the kitchen (delete)!

The file were already there!

After removal of the file and trying to run it again the app halted again, probably at the same position in the batch job.

I'll try to dl the kitchen again and process this another time.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] faria:
wait for the next RK.....removing what you dont know....will screew the rom....

the way my RK works is that if you do not select a package in the buildOS.EXE then all the relevant files and reg keys will be ignored when buiding the rom.

for now i advise not to touch THE sys folder or any packages that contain the name OEM.....

everything can be changed and replaced in the rom but you need to be very advanced in the field.

[Edit: For those coming into the thread late, the posts which prompted this have been deleted. However it's probably good info for people to have anyway.]

I know this has been said many times before in different ways, but there are always new people coming in. Some of the people coming in just don't know better, and some are immature and there's nothing that can be done about it.

For those who don't know better, please understand that this forum was originally created to cater to an elite group of sophisticated people who were learning to hack the HTC PPCs. Teaching themselves really. Everyone here, from the senior posters helping the newbies, to the elite chefs, are doing this as a hobby. If Faria or Mun or other high level folks want to design a rom, or a rom kitchen for us to try then the right attitude is for the rest of us to be grateful for it. If we find flaws in their offerings, we can report them, or even better find ways to improve them and share the knowledge. But there is no cause, ever, to be angry about it.

Everything everyone does here is on their own. Everything is optional. Everything should be considered Beta, and "use at your own risk". If you aren't happy with that you should stick with your original rom, and call your carrier for assistance.

Having said that, some people will hear, and listen, others will disregard because of their own personality faults and insist that everyone else owes them a perfect rom or perfect kitchen, or that things should have been done the way they would have done it. I don't know what to do about them, they are always around, but I'm glad they aren't in the majority.

BatteryStatus Package

Hi all,

Ok, here's the most complex package I've tried to put together so far. Anyone want to try building this into their rom and seeing if it works (I don't have time to do this tonight, but wanted to offer it up if anyone wants to try it)? This is a package for BatteryStatus 1.04.202 Beta 3 Build 0195 (latest version).

Just unzip this into your OEM folder and then go through the regular build. I left the GUID on it, so you shouldn't have to edit anything, it should just work as is and give you the option to add BatteryStatus to your rom.

Any and all feedback would be appreciated... If this works properly, I'll add it to the Package Sharing thread, but wanted to get it out for testing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tna:
thanks... everyone for the HELP ... YOU guys ROCK

thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
It has the reg keys built into the package, however one of them is wrong and although Adobe Reader is launched when you click a .pdf file it generates an error saying file not found. If you edit the line in the .rgu file and change the following line:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobeReaderLE.2\shell\open\command]
@="ppc_adobereaderle.exe %1"

to

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AdobeReaderLE.2\shell\open\command]
@="ppc_adobereaderle.exe \"%1\""

It works perfectly :)

Perhaps others will have better luck but for me this failed. During the phase where it is creating the registry I get an error. I didn't write it down but it was about the .hv files. Once I deleted the battery status directory from the OEM directory I was back to normal. Bummer i really wanted to see this one work.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
This worked for me after a bit of editing.....

In the .rgu file the "ThemeFile" and "DLL" entries need changing so they are double slashes:

From

"ThemeFile"="\Windows\BatteryStatus\default.xml"

To

"ThemeFile"="\\Windows\\BatteryStatus\\default.xml"

Also the 'initflashfiles.txt' has the wrong name - change 'initflashes.txt' to 'initflashfiles.txt' and save as Unicode instead of Ansi.

I also removed the two .exe's and their shortcuts as well as the .inf file and edited the 'initflashfiles.txt' to not include the removed files.

I have attached what I am currently using.
