BatterStatus Issue?

Since I compressed the BatteryStatus files, I'm not sure it's reporting correctly. I say this because I take a very basic rom (02.20) and without anything installed but overclocked to 260, it runs around 183mA.

In addition, it doesn't update drain rate unless I plug in the USB (at which time it changes to a +).

I'm going to replace the source pack with the standard BatteryStatus version and reflash that config again. Will post results shortly.

Also, I did notice an improvement by not having the "wifi fix". This is in the rgu file in the Standard Reg Tweaks folder. I removed the registry entries for Status and Preload Wifi, and got a noticeable decrease.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
I think i read somewhere that its not a good idea to compress the battery status drivers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] The_Wizard:
One other thing that may help is once you flash the new ROM and go through the initial set up (screen align, time zone, password, blah blah blah) do a hard reset by holding the Comm and Voice buttons while hitting the reset button. The screen will say something to the effect of press Send to format file system, when it does press the Send button (The green phone button). Once the phone reboots go through the initial set up again and see if the caller id works.

HTH.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
yeah, I think I'm seeing that now. Just rebooted after flashing, and it's already looking better.

Update: battery status still doesn't seem to be "behaving" properly. the current draw isn't updating, though the cpu utilization is working fine. I just disabled it and am trying it without. If it works well - that is good battery performance - I'll try the CPUXscaler (or whatever it's called).

WMP creates error during createrom.bat

Hi,

I am using the Base Kitchen 3.0 revision 0 and OEM package 3.0 rev 3 (and some of my own packages) to build my rom. Once i go through the buildOS, it runs and dumps the rom without error but, when i run createrom.bat, it starts to complie all the packages etc and once it gets to wmv9decoder.dll and compiles it, buildimgfs.exe crashes, which ends the compiling of the rest of the packages after wmp and continues to create the rom. I removed wmp from the rom through buildOS and this solved the problem of the crashing buildimgfs. But once i flashed the rom, none of the wma files will play (i was hoping tcpmp would play them) and the ring tones dont work either. So is their any way to fix this? am i including to much in the rom? maybe put wmp in a cab?

Thanks!

Put custom text on bottom-right of Today screen

HI Mattk_R and NTS

I need very tiny help from you guys. I am trying to add custom txt on my today screen using following reg keys. I know how to do it using registry editer but like to know if there is way to add this registry during this ROM cooking so even after hard reset it shows up on today screen. I like to know where I can add reg key in SYS or OEM folder. I mean in which .rgu I need to add this line.

Thanks guys......... keep up the good work.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta\Today = "Crossbow" (REG_SZ string)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nottoosmart:
If you go into the OEM folder you will see a folder called Standard Reg or something like that and add it to the RGU file
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Sorry for the long delay in posting - I took the weekend off.

Yes, it sounds like you have too much stuff. Basically, the buildimgfs.exe will crash once it hits the max size. It just happens that you're in the 'W' as it goes in alphabetical order. Try removing another large program and try it again, I bet it will at least fail in a different point - if not have enough room to finish completly. I've had them fail on the last file - I think it's called zoom.bmp...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] chriskaragiannis:
I think you deserve a weekend off for the fantastic work you've done! Yeh i figured out through some trial and error that it was indeed that i tried to pack to much in the rom. I got it working and flashed fine...i am still unsure tho about one thing..i copied all the x-faria reg tweaks into the standard reg tweaks .rgu file and i i'm pretty sure they applied themselves to the rom... but i think because i did that its causing the rom to be unstable...like when i change themes is causes the phone to freeze, also when i go into programs, its takes an excessive amount of time to load the shortcuts. The main reason i'm adding the x-faria setting as it has the tweaks to make office short cuts show up. Other than that i don't think theres much reason to add it.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Small items of note with Kitchen ver 3 rev 0

Building the latest again... and noticed an extremely small detail in the latest kitchen.... no show stopper or anything....

I noticed that when you hover your mouse over an entry you get a little info concerning that item which I greatly appreciate since many of these items I have never ran across before.... Everything is great until you get to the "Utilities" section... then the following items all show "Battery Status" for their pop-up info box:

Call2Contact 1.0

Frequency Tuner 1.5 (I was curious what this was)

Smart Key (I had never heard of this one either....)

Total Commander 2

WM5torage 1.7

XCPU Scalar 2.96

Zoom SMS

Just something I noticed....

For reference... what's the difference between Total Commander and Total Commander 2? Is the first one a 2.5 beta? Same for WM5torage? Is the first one the latest version and the 1.7 the "stable" version?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you are using all of the x-faria .rgu registry settings, plus selecting registry tweaks from the buildos, you could cause conflicts (potentially - since i don't know off-hand which are same / different, etc)

I'd suggest scanning through the registry settings, verifying which ones are already an option in buildos, and just add what you really need. I noticed the office icons a while back, but personally like having all the applications in one folder - hence why it didn't make it into the base. Shouldn't be too bad to weed out just the components you need.

Regarding the mouse hover - yeah, I noticed that too... :rolleyes:

I was a bit hasty and didn't update the 'tooltip' entries in the options.xml files as I added the new packages. I've ran into issues with file size, so as a habit I will only copy existing working options.xml... and depending on how my attention-to-detail is performing at that moment...

I'll go back through and update them. Thanks!

Oh yeah, total commander and tc2 / WM5 vs WM5 1.7: I came across them, and added them as choices. I need to "define" the differences better, but it's still on the 'to do' list...

Voice Speed Dial

Dear Matt,

Thanks for all your work on Pandora's Box and your roms.

One minor problem :

When I select Voice Speed Dial from the OEM List, and flash, I get 2 entries for button 4. The first is empty, and the second contains The V.S.D. with the icon. Pressing the button gives an error on the shortcut.

I can get round this by assigning V.S.D. to the first entry, and none to the second. I have seen a fix for this somewhere, but can't find it now! Anyone else have this problem?

Also is Cyberon VDD an older version of Voice Speed Dial ?

Thanks again

Tony
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Hi Tony,

The behavior of VSD is normal. The first entry is a quick push, the second is if you hold the button for a couple seconds. I usually use the quick push for VSD, then the long push for Notes.

As for the Cyberon entry, it may be a package from an older build, however the Cyberon and VSD are both "Cyberon" packages.

I'm running the VSD entry, and under about it reads Cyberon Voice Speed Dial v1.2 Build 061226.

If someone has the Cyberon entry installed, what is your version and build? If they're duplicates / or one is older, I'll get rid of it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Just a heads-up, I'm going to add a bunch of packages to the OEM Packages download sometime in the next day or so. I figure it's about time to collect the latest finds and get them all together.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
That's what I'm talking about.....!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
New OEM Pack uploaded - will add more links over the next few hours. Enjoy :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
Just created DWNYstyle .... gonna flash this version for the 1st time.

I saw all the new additions .... great job !!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thank YOU! Since most were from you :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
All good except for 2 things:

-Mobile Justice doesn't appear

-Audio Manager: can not be opened, not signed with trusted cert...yadda yadda yadda

Everything else runs smooth

I'm going to place Audio Manager in the OEM folder like I did in the past. If in the BuildOS, I get a check box listed under "My Stuff"...it will flash successfully.

Will let you know in a few....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Check under "security" for Mobile Justice.

Regarding audio manager - please do let me know your fix. I haven't tried it - just checked the options.xml format and put it in!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
It didn't create a new check box....it replaced the current folder.

Will build, flash & report back.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
CreateROM.bat is now running with errors.

It didn't like me replacing those files.

Got a finished ROM....will flash
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mdhensley5:
Matt, you are the man! I kept getting an error message with v2, but v3 works like a charm. Thanks for all of your hard work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I am but humbily placing everything in one place for everyone to use and benefit from. I didn't do any coding, significant troubleshooting, or contribution of the packages. That was the great work of others on this forum!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
Hey Matt

I couldn't get Audio Manager to work right....I put everything back to normal & this is what I get:

What do you think? This is also after re-downloading the files.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
did it work in the kitchen you have before?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
With all the kitchens....I can run them about 4 times before errors appear. Weird hugh...!?

The samething I guess with this kitchen....at 1st I thought it was because of me trying to fix Audio Manager; but after replacing everything...it continues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
That is strange. Did the link you PM'd me have the original files? Does your kitchen crash if this package is excluded from the OEM folder?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
I sent you the original files as for Audio Manager.

I've gotten that same package to work on one of your earlier kitchens

The kitchen is just failing for me in its normal state right now. You read the error msg.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Ok, my PC is really slow while uploading, but here in a few I'll try building with it selected and see what I can find.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
Started from scratch and I was able to create out a ROM...without Audio Manager. I have the cab for it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
how big is your rom image? It may be caused by trying to put too much in the rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
Don't know but I did think that ....that was a posibility.

I would select less items and get the same thing. The end result of a successful rom though is 56.129mb....ALL THE TIME...regardless
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
since your are using the old imgfs tools, the file will always be the same size.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Yeah, looks like he's right. I got it to build okay.

If you try and have a bunch of stuff - especially Live and VC together (they're both huge), you'll run out of space quick.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
(I wondered because I never tried a build with the Audio Manager added before :) )
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
side question is that jake zemke in your avatar?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Found an error with the options.xml file in the Voice Recorder folder under /OEM. It will install even if you don't select the check box in BuildOS. I fixed the file and attached it to the second post. Please replace the one in your kitchen.

Dear Matt,

Thanks for your reply.

I switched the 2 buttons around, now its OK.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
Any fixes on Audio Manager....?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Not yet, but I'll have some time this morning to see what's up.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
what fix do you need for audio manager
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
This was what I believe was the original problem when it's added as a package. I attached it below. I'm strapped at work and can't a chance to load it on the phone. Might be better to start with the original cab, but I don't have a copy. I'll sniff around and see what's available.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
weird i have my loaded as a package and don't have that issue
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
can you post your folder contents?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Did you try this cab, or package? There's a post that it didn't work on this build - so I was wondering if even the cab would work...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
New packages

Edit - After posting this and the second one I found a thread specifically for this purpose. I have PM'd a mod (and nottosmart) to ask that these posts be moved!

I have been trying to figure out how to make packages off of .cab and .exe files that I have for programs but I seem to be missing a link. I get the part about making a .rgu and an initflashes file. I think I get the part about GUID. What I can;t figure out is how to get the files out of the cab (i tried Winrar but the files it showed just didn't seem like what would be needed for a program) or a .exe file. I was hoping that someone would be able to show me what boneheaded mistake I am making or blatantly being an idiot about or perhaps even make packages out of these since they were not in "the box"

I would almost prefer a guide since I would prefer to learn instead of having it done for me.

here are the files...

Also,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
and a few more

Edit - I just found the thread regarding OEM packages for Pandora's box and I have PM's a mod to request the post be moved. Sorry for any confusion
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
It's relatively easy, and I use CabWUZ 2.0 (it's only a 30 day trial, after that you gotta pay). There's an extract button, and you get the contents dumped out. From there, you just follow the standard package format. It sounds like you already have the basics - you must have the .dru file with the guid, the .rgu is only if you have registry settings. The initfiles is only if you need something put somewhere other than the windows folder. The options.xml is only if you want it to show as an option in BuildOS.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
its the one out of the other thread.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
gotcha. I saw that other post... hadn't noticed it before :rolleyes:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Okay got CabWuz and ran the process on the cabs I want. For most of them [CabWuz output was a folder called [InstallDIR] that has one or two files in it. Two of them, phone alarm and Softkeychanger created a folder called Windows and phone alarm had another called Program Files. My guess is that these relate to where they are supposed to go in a ROM when you run the cab. How does this affect the process of building the package?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'd recommend following the created file stucture by making the initfiles.txt put the files and create the directorys in this form. Just look at a few different ones for ideas - camera is a good one.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
I used the same package that I gave to you.

Since it didn't work, I installed it with a cab that's working
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
ok, I'll see if I can get the cab extracted.

I got an unexpected side project... see post 1. ugh... why do I do this to myself?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dwny:
Cab is posted....click on GOODz

I updated the first post with the 318 kitchen and made the OEM pack universal to either. Please post issues / comments for later revs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
Does 318 include camera 3.0?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
no - it's the same camera that was released with the rom. it's definetly different than the prior version - and I believe it's 3.3.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
Would it be possible for you to add this version to your OEM package?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
are you saying you want the one from my previous kitchen - 3.00?

If this is what you're wanting, I can add both and it'll let you choose which during the build.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
No. I would like this version on your OEM Packages v3.0 rev 6.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
ok, I'll post an update shortly with it included.

I also noticed that the office shortcut folder isn't getting created. I need to fix that, and will include it as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
Please double check the camera. I do not see it anywhere and the hard button does not execute it either. I just get the "standard" camera.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
so the hard button opens a camera - is it the one with borders, or full screen?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
I am also trying to cook this rom but I am getting the "signed with a trusted certificate" error when I click on the camera.exe in windows. How can I get around this. I am also getting this when trying to incorporate Office2K7.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
It's the one with the borders.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
strange - I didn't get any errors. Did you hard-reset?

I'm checking the office folder fix, and checking that each camera builds correctly. I'll get the update up here shortly...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
yeah, the new kitchen will have both. that's 3.3
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tna:
used your base rom (official RTM) with anichillus kitchen but after the 2 splash there is only a black screen ...

Is there anything different in that built? thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
yup, gotta use combine both the OEM with the SYS and ROM folders. They all gotta be together to work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
okay, I'm flashing the office folder fix, and verifying that camera 3.0 works. I'll post the status and links shortly...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
This is the camera-streamer package that i am including in the OEM. You know faria's 3.0.

It installs ok and all the files and shortcuts are OK. I onl;y get the error when tring to execute the Camera.lnk in Programs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
ah, didn't try that. I'll test it once it flashes...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
How did you fix the Office Folder issue?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I brought over the Office files from the original 1413 /SYS folder, which includes the office folder. It gave me the folder under start and programs, but the links are messed up. Still working on it...

Edit: Giving the signed certificate issue - ugh...

As for the "border" camera camera.lnk not working - I flashed the "non-border" one, so I can't check it just now. The camera link works fine. I'll put the "border" version on next when I try the office fix...

I just can't get over not getting as much stuff in. I gotta get that resolved...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Error message

When I run build buildOS.exe I am getting the following error message

target file "temp\dump\bthamb.dll" is a dir not a file.

It says it was last processing Sys\redist

I found the file in the SYS\REDIST file and when I went to that dir in the dump there were 2 files but not the .dll so I copied it and tried again, thinking this was similar to the core kitchen where you have to replace missing files, but when I ran it again I got the same message. Any ideas?

I google searched the board for the DLL and according to another posting it has something to do with A2DP but that is all I could find.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
search the kitchen and find the two packages that have the same file. If you need both, you'll need to remove one or the other. Just remember which one, cause next time you build and only include the app with the deleted file - it won't work.

An optioin is to move it to the OEMDRIVERS folder under /SYS, that way it gets installed, and the two apps won't contain their own.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
testing with an updated security cert now...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I didn't get a link in Programs for Camera. might need to be added to the camera package...

Yeah its missing the initflashfiles.txt:

Directory("\Windows\Help"):-File("Camera.lnk","\Windows\Help_Camera_new.lnk")

Directory("\Windows\AppButtons"):-File("Camera.lnk","\Windows\HTC_Camera.lnk")

Click on the exe and tell me if it launches.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Hey Matt,

You really need some mirrors or put this someplace other than rapidshare. I pull one file down then have to wait 2 hours before I can pull the next. So to use your kitchen it will take me all day to get each of the downloads :( Then with you making changes, it all starts over again ;).

BTW:In the .318 stuff, the SYS folder has and options.xml that indicates Office 2007, but when I look at the Office folder it looks more like Office 2003 (no onenote and missing a number of graphics and stuff that come with 2007). Is that right?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
mfrazzz,

Maybe you could shed some light on installing farias 3.0 camera. Like I stated before I am getting the "signed with a trusted certificate" when executing it.

Maciej
