Looks like you didn't select the HTC logo and Splash screen during the nb2nbf tool. You can create an nbf file just to flash those two items. Just go to flashrom folder and manually run the nb2nbf_wizard.exe, select only the HTC and Splash options, create the nbf then run the romupgradeutility.exe and you'll be good to go. Refer to pdf file by Funman for further details.

The IR problem should already be fixed if you have V2 of the kitchen and replaced the option.xml file as outlined on the first page of this thread. Wifi seems to be a sporadic problem. If you don't delete the initwifi.lnk from startup and don't change anything related in the registry, it should work once you're done flashing.

If you still encounter problems, here's something I found that normally fixes it:

1. Change the following registry keys, wait a minute, then reset:

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadwifi -->0

HKLM\Comm\Tnetwln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus -->0

2. Change the above registry keys both to 1, wait a minute, then reset.

Your first question regarding the builder has been asked several times in this thread but never truly answered. It doesn't seem to be a straightforward task. Some ideas were to use xml to do the task.

Your remaining three questions are more related to BatteryStatus than this ROM. Your second question regarding the battery indicator is a known problem of BS. I have it myself and have no problems. Did you remember to flash to T-mo 2.26 prior to upgrading to WM6? Not doing so often causes weird glitches... If you have any further problems on BS, I would suggest posting it in Ikarus' thread.

You can edit this file, that is found in the OEM\Window Live folder,

But it is alot of work, to edit it for each and every file! But it is up to you! Take off the .txt for it to work! I have just deleted the top part as i did not need to delete anything but it will work in that way, just change the file names!!! As far as i know, (which is not much, still learning myself) there is no other way of doing it!

Something i dont think you are understanding is that by default, everything is put in the windows folder then moved by by the iniflashfiles file!!!

Another example of this is in sys\Office

I will do some tests this weekend to see if this would work!!! As far as i can see it would be easy to tell it to move example.lnk (Windows) to X (place you would like it), then delete example.lnk (Windows). If this is the case you would not have to use a iniflashfiles!!!

Update This does not work for me, so back to there we started!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Thanks! That makes perfect sense. I was thinking these were the actual workings of BS, but its just the DLLs that really do the work. Good catch.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tsuioku:
I thought the initflashes file just copies the file... It moves it too?

You Genius

For weeks working on a vanille that everybody is whining about. Then you decide to let us fight about what the best vanilla rom is ourselves, by giving us a very dangerous tool. Genius Faria. Now if Microsoft would give us some good Multi Button Support. And yes indeed we can start building our own GameBoy Advanced. I was able to run on 273 constantly on your Real Thing. I remember my device froze at 240. I'm now butting in skype just for fun, to see if i get it right. Hey, wow i got no errors! Yes it's gonna work. Now all i need to figure out is why i just don't seem to find any extracted .Reg files from most of the .cab.

And how to get the everything installed, more neatly into the windows folder.

And then bring in all my favourite tweaks into the Build.

When am i gonna sleep dammit?

Thank You Faria For letting people fight in a creative manner over what is the best vanilla.

I like mine with strawberries.

And thank you guys that gave me 30 pages of read first ask questions later.

Yes my device froze when i propably wrote the wrong codes for the splashe screen. My first cook wasn't the best no.

I had this weird idear of using the T-Mobile Update with Spl 2 again just to see if i could extract the new SPL from the german rom together with the German 2.69. So i could push them into the cook. Second cook was working fine. In the third it was also going fine. Fourth gave me no service on radio.

Now flashing 5th Version.

Oh Yes i got my T-Mobile Flashed only when i plugged in USB first then went to Bootscreen with Talk Button Camera Button After Soft Reset, while staying plugged. And it only worked with the T-Mobile Rom. Believe me i tried. I stopped the updating before it began and tried it again. I could only flash back a rom using this weird method.

The things we think of!

Still flashing 90 %

Yes i'm going to make this, one mean and lean Super Punch and Castlevania machine.

What do you guys think is making your own extended rom better than doing it this way?

Who cares about total commander if you have got everything where you want it.

Tomorow i try installing battery status.

**** no signal.

cheers, didnt look like they bothered to save it in unicode eiter. On another note, I have used the kitchen to cook a few different roms, and sometimes after flashing, instead of getting the welcome screen and screen to calbricate the screen i just get the taskbar at the top, and the wm6 spash screen and can do nothing with the device, this forces me to rebuild / reflash - anyone else had this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Did you de-select FWupdate, if so there is your problem, this is need in the rom! If not there is something not right in one of you iniflashfiles! It is not building and is just getting stuck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mightyjohn:
I got the WM6 install going and it got to 2%, and then nothing...

now the phone just has the bootloader(?) screen (red, blue, ect) and the mda installer will not see the phone.

is there any way to fix this, or ismy phonenow a brick? :confused:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Sorry about that... I got interupted in the middle of editing this, and when I went back apparently I saved my changes to the wrong folder.

Thanks for fixing that funman!

I'm finally free to start flashing on my phone again, so I'll be sure to test stuff before I release it now...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Ya, press the reset and holder the voice button, then cornect the phone to the computer, you should then get a usb at the bottom of the screen, how flash a operator rom to get you going again! Once that is on your phone, you are free to start cooking again!

Well, I tried that and when the upgrade itility tries to verify the info on my phone, it says that it can not connect with the phone.

the rom upgrade utility is not seeing the phone... and it does say "USB" ad the bottom of the screen.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mightyjohn:
I think the problem may be that with the state that the phone is in now, there is no way to establish an active sync conection.

...But i dont know for sure...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] faria:
you need to flash an official rom to get out of that state.....custom roms cannot do that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mightyjohn:
Thats what i just tried. I just downloaded the rom from T-Mo's web site and that is waht is saying;

ERROR 260

THE UPDATE UTILITY CANNOT CONNECT WITH THE PDA PHONE. PLEASE CHECK THAT YOUR USB CRADLE/CABLE IS CONNECTED PROPERLY BETWEEN THE PC AND YOU PDA PHONE.....

Is the one from T-Mo not official, or does it have to be from HTC?

funman ,mfrazzz and all the others

thanks for you support.....im still busy as hell at work....just checked my pms....80!

ANYway..... A V3 ROM is coming in days.......this will be a rom and not a RK....:) it contains new radio stack,new windows live,new office mobile 12!,bt printing,new voice comand,new shell, etc etc....fixed windows mobile over activesync,fixed com,new default theme...and more.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] faria:
from what provider is your device? you should use the rom from your device provider .other wize use another usb cable or use a diferent usb port...also reboot your pc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
No worries, I fully understand the "busy as hell" part (I'm expecting similar for me in the next few weeks as a massive project is preparing to go live).

Wow, that looks to be really cool! Will the rom be available to be put into the kitchen as a base?

BTW: I think I have the 10 button comm manager working on my device (via a cab), and I just integrated it into the kitchen rom. Will be flashing it shortly. This is one with a black theme I found on the Hermes forums. If it works, I'll post instructions on how to do this for others.

Can you find what i am looking for?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] badbert:
Do you mean this key?

Hide/Show Screen orientation icon

If you wish to hide the Screen orientation icon, shown in the task bar on some devices, you can set:​

HKLM\Services\?

ScreenRotate

\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)​

HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 1 (DWORD decimal)​

And to show it again:

HKLM\Services\?

ScreenRotate

\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)​

HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 0 (DWORD decimal)​

If this doesn't work, you can try:

HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 0 (DWORD decimal)​

And to show it again:

HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 1 (DWORD decimal)​

Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all.

Or do you mean how to map it to a button?

\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C1\=button1

\40c2\=button2

\40c3\=button3

....etc

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] da_jojo:
SqlCe

Instead of making a webservice call each time certain data was needed, the data was stored in the SqlCe database on the Pocket PC, to retrieve when needed. This allowed quickly displaying data after having retrieved it once, while still giving the possibility to retrieve the latest data, and update the local cache with it as well.

To implement this, a Db class was used with the Singleton pattern to provide database access to the local SqlCe engine. A database on the Pocket PC is simply a file on the file system, MediaService.sdf in this case.

In the CheckDb method, the database was created in case it did not exist. This was done with normal SQL queries defining Create Table commands.

- this is the caching method for the mobile phone

and it should not be left out as it functions as a speeding cache for the

phone itself.. things like music playlists and drm and filecaching are hold here

edit: java also seems to have need of this

edit :

In addition to the improved user, deployment, and support experience, having .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 and SQL Server Compact Edition installed in device ROM also provides for a better runtime environment for your application. With .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 and SQL Server Compact Edition installed in device ROM, they do not occupy device RAM. Less software installed into RAM leaves more RAM space for your application to use for data storage.

Excuse me for being a dunce, but I have a quick question for Faria's rom.

I'm a very inexperienced flasher, and I just want a barebones, simple, but fully working Windows Mobile 6 rom. I'm assuming that Faria's build is just right. Unfortunantly, I'd like to stay away from the whole kitchen aspect, as - simply - I'm afraid to screw things up. So can I simply install his rom, and boom, bam presto - instant Windows Mobile 6? Because that is exactly what I'm looking for. If not, what rom do I need?

And . . . again, total dunce - where exactly do I get his file from?

The one in the kitchen is Vanilla (ie: nothing really in it but mainly a base rom). Its a good rom to start with but you may actually want something with more to it. I cooked a version of this base rom and added some programs. Its called Crossbow Reloaded. You could try that. Or another rom that has apps in it is the Windows Mobile 6 Business Edition. Also the NBD one.

There are links to all of these in the Wiki:

I think the X-Button is a (commandline) function of Task Manager. Like adding an extension to a task manager shortcut. Tried to check the shortcut that is in the MMS folder but couldn't actually determine if this was it.

And while we are in the MMS folder, is there any way to separate the apps in here to separate packages? So we could pick the ones we want. I have no use for MMS but have to install it to get the rest of the apps in this folder...

As for seperating stuff in here, you'd just need to make sure you cleaned up any references to whatever you are seperating out in the .rgu and initflashfiles stuff.
