Hello everybody!

Even if this is my first post on this forum, I use to visit this useful place since years, I tried many of those great WM6 ROMs made by our ROM cookers (thanks to all), then I tried to cook my own ROMs using tools recommanded in the Wiki.

But those kitchen tools weren't conveignent for my use, it was a lot of work and patience for making ROMs, we need to use many different programs and scripts, and I thought that the cooking process could be really simplified using an unified graphical interface like dutty's tool. I was patiently waiting for his Hermes Rom Koch V2, but finally I started to develop my own kitchen tool! :)

Here are some features of this program:

- ROM file manager (to add/delete/extract files or to create shortcuts)

- ROM layout editor (to edit init flash files)

- Registry editor (to modify/import/export default & user registry)

- CAB install files integration

- ROM creation from original OS image or dump directory

I posted some screenshots for better explanations. ;)

This program simply use aWaiter and ImgFS tools for ROM creation/extraction.

For now I still have a lot of work on it, but I would like some advises from experienced developers on this forum, because even if my program works, I would like to know if the cooking process is porper and safe, and how I could improve it (for example using internal functions for ROM creation/extraction instead of external programs, implementing NBH tools,...).

If some of our XDA-developers are interested, I would really like to make this project an

Open Source "all-in-one" ROM cooking program

, gathering all the others kitchen tools in an unified graphical interface offering the easiest way to cook nice ROMs for our Hermes and certainly for other devices.

I know that I didn't give many details about my program but don't hesitate to ask me about it. I would also have few questions for developers. :o

Developers and ROM cookers, I'm waiting for your feedback! :)

Thanks.

Where to download??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] schaps:
Thanks for the link. I already thought about working with packages because it seems to be a better way to make "clean" ROMs, but I couldn't find enough information about how to extract/build packages in ROM.

I tried bepe's package tool on my own cooked ROM and I noticed that removed files were marked as missing in packages, and all the files I added weren't moved from dump directory. There is nothing surprising, but I wondered if adding/deleting manually files from ROM, causing "corrupted packages", can have any effect on final ROM. If not then why packaging information (like .dsm and .rgu files) are still present in ROM after all packages were merged? What exactly contains .dsm files, and how to create them for adding new packages?

Could someone tell me more about building packages, or tell me where I could find all the information I need.

Thanks

Great work so far - I fullly support this project.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tadzio:
Great project - and I agree, it definitely should support packages. If you've had a look at bepe's kitchen, you already know how much easier it is to understand the purpose of all the files in a ROM if they are organized in packages. :-)

.rgu files are Registry "source code". They are not part of the package mechanism. And yes, when cooking a ROM you can leave them out, as they are not needed at run time. Saves a bit of space.

The .dsm files, otoh, are needed at run time.

When I cooked my ROM, I did find some information (written by bepe) here in the forum about how to make your own packages. Can't remember where that was, but I found it on my hard disk, so I simply quote it here again:

Hope that helps. If I remember correctly, bepe told me that the OEM folder is treated a bit differently from the SYS folder, so it might be you can't create packages there. But then, you probably also shouldn't. :-)

Oh, and about the initflashfiles.dat: you are aware that the initflashfiles.dat just copies files and does not move them? Using this feature extensively uses up ROM space very quickly, so it should be done for small files (like the start menu shortcut files) only.

Cheers

tadzio
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] schaps:
Thanks a lot for your help tadzio!

I also read the different steps about how to add a new OEM package, I found information on this Wiki if someone is interested : http://wiki.ppcgeeks.com/index.php?title=Kitchen.

I think I know enough about it but what I would know is how to extract packages then to merge them for creating a ROM image, like do bepe's tools?

I confirm I also heard that OEM folder processing is different from SYS folder.

Concerning the initflashfiles.dat I guessed that files were copied from ROM to storage memory, good to have a confirmation. So it means that if we want to include a new program in ROM, we should better to let it in Windows folder than to put it in a Program Files folder, right? I have another question about initflashfiles.dat, I saw that it sometimes uses variables for directories instead of strings (for example Directory(LOC_XXX), Directory(0409_XXX),...), where could I find those variable declarations?

Hi Schaps,

you can have a look in this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=312985

it's a tool to re-build DSM file, which is better than just creat an empty .dsm file when making new package.

hope this help. It will be cool if your new tool support package.

I have HTC ONE SV with 4.2.2 Sense 5

I was on moonshine with S Off... but now it says LOCKED. I dont know what LOCKED means??

I had TWRP on it and it was ROOTED but not anymore since the RUU update to 4.2.2

Here is what im asking

I was wondering if someone could tell me how or point me to another forum or site so i can REROOT my phone? I dont remember how because the stuff i used to root it before was on my stolen computer.

Also, which recovery is best to use for this phone?

I hear there are problems with moonshine? Is there another one that would be better? and where n how?

Once my phone is ROOTED and S OFF again with good recovery .. I want to figure out how to get all the unwanted apps off and be able to install to sd card or phone storage.

Also would like to overclock if possible

I want to be able to change other settings if possible to do more that arent currently on the phone.

And finally I want to be able to edit build.prop to make the phone have better network speeds and other stuff. Any good scripts??

is there any good mods for this phone?

Should I see about installing Venom? or is there something better?
[HTC One SV] imankareem:
You could use any system app uninstaller to remove all the bloatware...

Link2Sd is the fastest way to move apps to your sd card but first you have make a partition using the app Aparted (ext 2, up to 2 gb)

Do not use the Venom rom because it is not fast at all... there are good mods but those mods can be installed on the stock rom using the xposed framework

The best kernel is the stock kernel.. There are other kernels.. like two but they are very unstable...

Check out my xposed mods thread.. I have listed all the mods take work on the stock rom...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuba22277:
Hello,

I've recently (yesterday) moved from Sonyland to HTCtopia, and I have no clue about what should I do first. I spent more than a hour just to find some guides. Am I correct that all the procedures, (not counting s-off) are exactly the same as on Sony? I mean, fastboot, Kernel, rom, gapps, good to go?

And secondly - is unlocking the bootloader from HTC Dev the same as s-offimg using programs? Or are there any differences?

I'm sorry if that question was asked before. I tried to find a similar topic around here :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
unlocking the bootloader just allows you to flash custom recovery and roms, S-off is a whole other thing

[Q] Google Now Launcher not working on LG G3 AT&T (rooted, TWRP, on CM 12 Lollipop

Hello,

I could not find a thread that answered my question so I am creating a new one.

So I just installed CM 12 Lollipop on my LG G3 after which I tried installing Google Now Launcher on it. It installed successfully but I am not able to swipe right to see my launcher screen (on the left side).

When I go to Google Settings > Search & Now > Now Cards... I get the following screen:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8x...ew?usp=sharing

Help Please!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsJacobee:
With Cyanogenmod's launcher you can enable the search bar on the top of the screen. There is also a widget for your Google Now cards. I would recommend using this instead because in my experience, the battery drain of the Google Now Launcher is not worth the experience when you can get essentially the same functions out of something else. Also, you can install custom icon packs and customize Cyanogenmod's launcher virtually endlessly.

This is all I can suggest.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] butwhydoitalk2u:
so, I decided to use a nexus 7 2013 as a my in car radio replacement. I never owned a nexus amd picked one up pretty cheap on fleabag. When I test fit in the evening it looked great, not as good as my galaxy pro tab but not bad. This afternoon I wanted to see how it would look in the dash with full sunlight. Although it is dim, I can still see it that is until I put on my sunglasses. I wear polorized prescription and I cant see my nexus at all, It turns black. I dont have this problem with the galaxy or any other android phone I have ever owned. Is there a product I can use to help me see the screen with my sunglasses on, maybe like a screen protector. I can see it fine in portrait but it looks off in landscape.

With space still being a premium on phones and tablets I would love to be able to play video files in multiple .rars. VLC can do this on the desktop and BS Player can do this on Android. This would be a killer feature for me.

Space? By archiving video you only waste space.

I get videos emailed me as .rar files. I know. I've talked to the higher ups and they say something about their firewall doesn't like .avi in or out. Either way, it would be a handy feature to have.
[MX Player] fred0r:
This feature would be nice to have.

There are a lot of Movies around which consist of multiple RAR-Files.

These RAR-Files arent really 'packed' - they're created with 'no compression' (Store) Option.

Something like a 'virtual-rar-file-system' would be needed for making it readable.

Like [MENTION=6398898]Sid32[/MENTION] said - VLC already supports it for ages.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FractalSphere:
Before the Lollipop upgrade there was an app called KeepScreen (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tni.KeepScreenLite) that worked like a champ. What it does is selectively change the screensaver timeouts if an application is taking up the full screen. I mainly used it for google maps so it wouldn't turn off the screen until I hit the home key and then would resume normal screensaver options.

After the Lollipop upgrade this app thinks its working but doesn't change the screensaver timeouts, nor does the top-bar icon appear when it should. Are there other apps out there that will do this trick, alternately is there some native function of Android 5.x that will do this?

What does the cab for more program space effect? The same thing that jas' cabs deal with to increase speed and such? And are you planning on running benchmark tests with this rom as you did with the others so we can compare results?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CUSTEL:
Well from what I see I post about speeding up a rom and sacrificing some memory then hours later Jas comes out with the same concept (not completely identical but about 80%) to try and beat me to it with cabs. It's similar but not completely the same, the cab is a simple registry change. Benchmark no I simply don't have the time at the moment.

Custel, I am using the 1.2 version as aside from the voip searching problem I mentioned previously it seems to work ok. Performance is a little sluggish though switching between screens (even with the real close function off).

My question is that given I have setup my exchange settings ans installed a few programs, in your opinion would I benefit from using the V1.3 (with the voip fixes you will upload tonight) or should I just keep with what I have for now until something more significant is released. The voip and performance improvements have my mouth watering.

I re-enabled it, even rebooted the phone after and while the option says enabled SIP does not work unless a WiFI connection is active. Simply says unavailable.

Any ideas? Does your SIP over 3G work still? I feel so bad to complain given that this is all gratis so I hope thats not how it sounds.

Is CUSTEL VoIP suposed to work in Universal?

Hi Custel,

I see that most people here are happy with your new VoIP cab. Unfortunately after installing it on my uni, it stopped even searching for a VoIP provider. I have recreated all the necessary settings like ipdialplan.xml and 3G option but it did not want to search for a network nor in 3G, neither in WiFi. After uninstalling it, everything came to normal, but this means my VoIP is selecting my network, but can not dial a call anyway.

What is your comment. Should it be good for uni, or it is only for hermes devices?

Could you please give some info about versions of the dlls used in your package. I have checked what my VoIP server says about the my uni and found that it is RTC/1.5.5374.

I have a compatibility problem between VoIP server used in my commercial network and WM6 voip implementation, described in my post
