Fully Cooked Rom???

Hi!

I'm having problems when building the rom, imgfs is crashing when building the rom!

Is there anyone that has cooked this with all options that could upload the rom on my ftp ? ( ftp://xda:xda@minftp.myftp.org/upload/rom/ )?

I really whant this rom!

Please :):):)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
This is the problem I started running into with my Crossbow Reloaded. Basically if you choose all of the options, it appears it will not cook. What it appears to me is it takes up too much memory (maxes the rom space) so it fails. IF you leave out Voice Command or other large pieces then it works fine. But if you choose everything it fails. I thought it was some bad setups I had done so I setup a fresh install of the kitchen in a seperate area and found the same issue there (so its not custom packages).

Crossbow Reloaded is pretty much a stock build of this rom (except where I changed it to the black 10 button commManager and added some apps). Only thing I left out is the Transcriber and SQLCEMobile options. I'm looking at rebuilding to get SQLCE back in, but now may have to leave out VoiceCommand and have people install that seperately.

So try out Crossbow Reloaded if you want. Or if you want to build your own, then play around with leaving out some of the larger pieces and I think you will find the rom will then build.

RE: Fully Cooked Rom???

Sorry I was typing while mfrazzz was answering you :)

This is the same as mfrazzz's ROM that you posted on your FTP here only minus the packages he created...are you wanting Faria's Vanilla ROM...because that comes in the RK as mfrazzz said in post #170

confusion with tutorial

Can someone break the tutorial down into smaller parts? Most things just dont make sense to me, and i dont want to try anything and nearly brick my phone like I did last time.

I've done this much.

But what is this for?

The packages, do they need their own separate folders inside of my ROM folder (i.e., bens ROM)?

And how exactly do I put the files into the package, depending on if the files are from an .exe or .cab?

How to make a shortcut?

Create a new text file, open and add the following; [#"\Windows\your-app-name.exe"]

Save the file with the name of the app like this; [your-app-name.lnk]

Shortcut done!

Save the file….that’s it you created your own package!

You can delete packages you don’t want from OEM only, the custom ones.do not delete x-faria settings package.

...and I dont think i need to mess with the ext. ROM yet, way too confusing :)

Thanks for any help.

Problem with File Manager

I seem to be having a problem with file manager. For some reason now, I can't delete, cut or move any file when using File Manager. I get an error that says:

Cannot delete "filename":

Access is denied

Be certain that the file is not write-protected and is not currently in use.

This happens no matter if it's in RAM or on an SD card.

I can do all these things through total commander, but not file manager.

Also I can't seem to run active sync anymore either. I get an error message that sync can't be completed. I think the two things are releated...

Any ideas?

You will be MUCH better off following Funman's PDF document than this one. Funman did a great job of giving step by step instructions (worked for me).

You can find it here:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Have you tried hard reseting? If it is the same after doing that, you may have a problem with the rom, and i would say re flashing your Phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Ya i have been going and doing this, and it is not worth it!!! It is more work then you would want to do!!!

But if anyone is intrested, I found this in one of the other parts on here, You just need the dump folder of a rom and this tool should sort out most of the files fro you in to package folders.

And if you dont know how to get a rom dump from a rom file go here

How to change Default Today Theme

Hey all,

How can I change the default Today theme? I'd like for my rom to default to a certain .tsk file that is included. I found the registry entry HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Skin and set this to point to the .tsk, but after a rom flash, while I see this is set on the Today settings, the theme is still the default rom them and not this. I then have to choose another .tsk then switch back to this one to get it to change. So I'm missing something someplace else to complete the theme switch.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
k Thanks, this is much easier to follow, but is there a way to put .exe files into a package?

How exactly are reg entries stated?

For instance, in BAttStatus I have:

HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus","Enabled",0x00010001,1

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
1. what do you mean by exe, you just place them in the correct folder

2. this is how reg should be

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Zip]
"LogoIconID"=dword:00000066
"ProgramIconID"=dword:00000065
"IconFile"="ZipIcon.dll"

3. make sure that you have the file called in the \DEV_WIZcrossbow CLEAN-V2\SYS\SIM_TKit\simtkit.dll, folder (take off the .txt)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
By exe I mean any of my programs that I install via an exe file, not a cab version.

And I'm assuming that for the reg entries, that's for ALL of them?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
No no i was just giving you an example of how the reg keys shouold look like.

exe maybe will not work, but it maybe a exe that you ahve to run off your computer to install on to your Phone

Same problem bump. Mine doesn't even get to the "touch to start using" (before aligning screen) part.

I have transcriber, enterprise, games, office, btftp, fariacamera, and pocket rar selected when I build the OS.

I built the OS with and without the splash screen (92000000) and HTC logo (9D000000) addresses.

I've also tried both IPL/SPL 2.26 and 3.08

Thanks

EDIT: Tried Faria's other WM6 rom and it works fine. I'd like to use this one though.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
So my reg entries should look like this

[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus]
"DLL",0x00000000,"\Windows\BattTDP.dll"
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
No. Like this:

[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus]
"DLL"="\Windows\BattTDP.dll"

Thats for a String (reg_sz) entry... If you want to see how they look then just do the export .reg, or use PHM Registry Editor or the Registry Editor in task manager to export the entries on your phone to a file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ClassicalDonkey:
Thankz Mfranzz,

Been really busy at work, so not had much time to look on here!!!

Maybe i will do an update n the PDF about how to correectly format a reg entrie, and show the different way you could see if by using the different export ways.

NOTE to all, you you have found something wrong or you think something should be added to the Faria WM6 Rom Kitchen PDF. Drop me a pm
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:

Now it makes more sense, the cab extracting program never pulled any of the reg files out, that's why I'm so lost! Hopefully I won't have that many questions for a while now lol :)

Wow, this worked great. I followed the instructions. (which seem to be key - haha) and cooked up a rather clean install. Everything worked on first run through.

I'm surprised at how responsive the T-mo MDA is now, without overclocking. (Overclocking to 228 makes it really snappy)

A friend gave me his never used generic T-Mo MDA yesterday and later that evening, I had unlocked and cooked it. I'll have to cook up my other MDA now as well. (Nothing beats having an extra one as a guinea pig)

Thank you very much for so fine tools explanations e.t.c.

You did Great job

I tried to use your BuildOS tool is working fine , but I did not understand some things about nb2nbf_wizard , sorry if my questions are stupid:

1 If there is no choise of my operator or other things in the upper cells marked

(max lenght=15 bytes) how can I choose it.

For example can I write operator name or operator ID?

What I should to write in the "CID" cell and for what purpose?

I tried to find answer about explanations about all cells marked

(max lenght=15 bytes) in this forum, but did find. I think there are these answers but I can't find only. Maybe you can help me?

2 How I can to know start addresses of NB files in cells placed lower?

IPL , SPL, GSM , OS and SPLASH screen I choose image name and after click on the "Start Address" cell this address launches automaticly. However I do not know ExtROM, HTC logo and CID addresses...

Can I leave empty "Image name" cells if I wrote exactly address in the "Start address cell?

3. I was succesfully installed T-Mobile 2.26 and 3.08 IPL/SPL.

I likes T-Mobile concerning T-zone , instant messaging and some features else.

But this your BuildOS tool have already integrated so good features.

I think I should to choose T-Mobile 2.26 ROM in the nb2nbf_wizard and collect all things what I need to one, but I do not know in which cell I should to choose T-Mobile 2.26 ROM as OS or as Ext ROM ?

Also I have T-Mobile 2.26 only as automatic *.exe installation file and do not have *.nbf version.

I tried to search *.nbf file in the my PC temp folder after *.exe file is unpacked, but I did not find it.

How I can extract *.nbf from this *.exe?

I would be very thankful for an answer.

Ok, I've been trying to build a ROM but the cabs I want to add extract to multiple folders (e.g. "Program Files" and "Windows"). The "Program Files" folder has multiple sub-directories. Some of the sub-directories have files with the same names but they are different files so I can't just copy them all into the root folder of my package. Any ideas on how to deal with the multiple folders and duplicate files?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mikebphoto:
I did for the first few days and then it magically started syncing fine. I wish I could tell you that I did something but I did not. Here is what I do know though. It is not something to do with the device, but with your Live account. I flashed two t-mobile mda's the exact same way and one sync'ed with my brothers live account and mine did not for the first couple of days.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
If they are the same names in different folders, are they for different languages? Try installing the cab on your phone and see how it looks after it installs. a few of the ones I've worked with have multiple copies for languages or certain setups. So to build it into a rom, you are going to have to just choose a specific language or setup as you can't have duplicate files.

I basically gave up on WeatherPanel for this reason (partly) as the setup it has in the cab is fairly complex, and I found it would really limit the program trying to force it in just one direction. Easier for someone to just inastall the cab and leave it out of the ROM... I take the approach that not everything is "rom-able"... :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kmann:
What needs to be done

The files with the same names are used for different purposes and are not language files - for example different images based on different options selected in the program.

From my limited understanding I think the initflashfiles.txt or dat needs to be updated to have statements that copy the files from the folders to their destination location.

Maybe someone can come up with a clever tool to do this or the inf file with copy instructions could be processed.

Maybe I've forgotten, but all of the updates were put into the V2 version which is what is on the first post now. Then there is the options.xml file that you replace (also in the first or second post). Thats it. Its good to go at that point. You can then download whatever OEM Packages you want over in the Share your packages thread if you want those. But this package (in the first post) is good to go with a single options.xml fix.

When i first flash it it is ok the after that it does pick up that it is connected for sync!!!

Does someone know if this is reg related? Cus i have tried everything! I have just hard reset and it works great!!! hmmm

And i lose my extended rom everytime aswell!

update2: I think ic ould be somthing to do with use check notifications v.2.3 or using check notifications (check_notify_ in the startup folder. Is anyone using these? As apart from them i dont know what it could be, testing deleting the check_notify so will see if it stop working again!

update3: Well I have not had any more problems at the mo, but i have just gone the web site and found this!!!
