not to beat this to death, but that's the non-border version, correct? Any you're getting the error from the hard button?

If so, I'll post the OEM pack. It doesn't have this problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
So has anyone gotten Office 2k7 to work in this build?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Yeah, that doens't sound right, though not sure why. I'll send up the latest - though 2007 still has cert issues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Yeah, there was one in OEMDRIVERS already but there was another file floating so I deleted it.

I then got an error that said "error building default.hv and user.hv" but when I tried again with no boxes check it completed. so I am now trying different combos to figure out where the problem is. Makes sense right?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
OK, the one that comes with the ROM is the one that launches in portrait mode. It has hardly any options.

I want to use the faria 3.0, that;s the full screen one with options to store on SD and disable shutter sound etc. This is the one I can get installed but not launch due to certificate issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Ok, then the pack I'm uploading now should fix that for you. Grab both the OS and the OEM though, as I've added updates to both.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
So can you tell me what you did to fix the cert issue?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Been a while since i've seen that error. usually it comes from the .rgu files having duplicate info. Once you find the offending apps, check that file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
the 3.0 camera (no border) is the one i was using in 1413. I brought it over and it worked fine. That's the one I'm uploading.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
Can you just zip that one an attach it please?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Well it happens if I check any of the app that funman was kind enough to package for me. Would there be any difference in packaging for Faria's kitchen versus yours?

I noticed that they all went into settings, and I was thinking I might need to modify the options.xml file to get them in the right place, but didn;t know if that could be the problem.

Also, when I run nb2nbf_wizard.exe I can't find the flash.nb0 file anywhere, but all the other steps seem to have completed without error.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
sorry, my attachment upload keeps crashing. Can you pull it from the OEM pack? They have it and the links are updated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
Sure, it has the good initflashfiles.txt as well?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
the location sorting in buildos is defined in the options.xml files within each package. All of "my" packages have an individual options file, where I think his doesn't?

Another problem I've seen is if the options.xml file is "damaged" - check the file size vs. others. Also, there must be a .dru file with the correct guid name in the folder that matches what's in the options.xml file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
it does - and it's what I used in the "border" version (I'm refering to it as 3.3 in buildos)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
First run buildos, then you need to run createrom.bat

then when you check the OS line in nb2nbfwizard, you need to point to the 80040000-OS.nb file from the temp directory.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
This is all I have in my OEM folder? Am I missing something? Do I need OEMOPERATORS?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you want the full screen camera - you need to select Camera 3.0.

You don't have to remove the folders from OEM - since they are only installed if you check the box in buildos because each has a options.xml file in it.

Edit: unless you're using different packages :)

If this is what it originally came with, just changing the camera folder should work fine.

and you don't need OEMOPERATORS, it's a post install script, unless you want it in there...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
did anyone grab that 2007 fix cab? If so, please post it!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
got it, it's in the first post. I also fixed the.rgu file, attached as well. I haven't tested it, but am going to build a new rom now with it. I expect that the cert issue is dead!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Uploading fixed OS now, 318 has office 2007 and no cert issue... ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] WizardGuy:
Error in BuildOS

I'm trying to cook a ROM with the new WM6 build posted. I'm getting an error message that says target file "temp\dump\cameradriver.dll is a directory not a file. Any ideas on this one?

All I did was unzip the sys and rom directories, rename the existing ones, and pasted the new ones into the pandora directory.

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
Yeah it has to do with the version of "Camera" that you are using. I tried several of them from various sources. I have yet to get it to work.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
under oemdriver (if I remember correctly) are duplicate files. I think there's a couple duplicates. Search your kitchen directory and you'll need to delete the extras. Be careful doing so, as at some time you may want to install the package that the duplicate file was in.

If you can hold on, I'm uploading a new OS with the office fix, and with the OEM pack rev 7, you'll get to choose between both camera versions, and not have this error.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
please don't take this the wrong way - but unless you're really familiar with the file structure and moving things around, I'd really suggest sticking with one kitchen or another.

I'm not saying to use this one, just be careful mixing stuff up. I set packages up to work with this kitchen, so another's may not be a direct add-in. I'm happy to help explain what is needed to make it work!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
No offense taken. I'm learning just like everyone else. I have used several kitchen with success. It's the OEM mess that drives me crazy. Dupe files here and there. I see so many duplicate initflashfiles.txt entries and file duplications. I can see how someone can get crazy. (Like you staying up till 2:00AM) ;-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
Camera again!

OK So if you do the following the camera will not work:

In your OEM folder ONLY add the Camera package.

When in BuildOS select what ever parts of the ROM you like and Camera.

After flashing you will receive a signed cert message when you click onn camera. This has lead me to the conclution that the Camera package is dependent on some other package or .rgu that has some kind of security settings.

To verify this I used mfrazz 318 build and left his OEM packages intact and selected camera. After flashing the camera worked!!!

So does anyone know what is the missing link?

P.S. In mfrazz OEM among other there are:

x-faria settings

x-mfrazzz apps

x-mfrazzz settings

Could these have the missing settings?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Need a couple details:

Which camera are you selecting in buildos?

What are you clicking to get the error? The hard button, program icon, file explorer /windows/camera.lnk or camera.exe?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I would recommend you test this with the entire kitchen / OEM Package / and OS. Don't remove anything, just customze via buildos.

I should be done uploading the OS in about 20 minutes (three different sites, slow...) and I'll update the first posts.

I've flashed both camera's, and don't have any issues. Granted I did add the .rgu to the 3.3 camera to add the camera icon in the programs list, but otherwise, no issues.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
That's basically what I did. Didn't remove anything im 318 from mfrazz and it worked.

I get the error when clicking the link or the exe.

P.S. I have found that if a package in OEM does not contain an option.xml it gets loaded anyway, thats why I move stuff out of OEM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Links updated

I uploaded the OS files, which include the Office 2007 fix, and is compatible with the OEM Package v3.0 rev 7 which gives you two different camera options.

Please download both, and use them together.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] WizardGuy:
Hey Matt,

I'm having a lot of trouble cooking. I downloaded the OEM you said to use and the new OS build. I also downloaded the kitchen tools. It seems no matter what combo of OS items and OEM items I use, I still get an error when I run createROM like all the options I chose are too big to fit in the ROM. What I'm trying to do is:

Transcriber

Games

Office

Sql

WindowsLive

MMS

VOIP

Voice Command

WMP

and Camera 3.3

That doesn't seem like it should be too big. What kitchen are you using to create in?

Edit: I just tried it in the Core Kitchen and it worked fine.....so I'm not sure why it didn't work for me in the Pandora Kitchen.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
Camera again again!

OK so with just plain old trial and error I got camera.exe to launch. What I also had to do was add the mms package to OEM.

Now this allowed me to launch camera.exe however it crashes.

I will make it my quest to make the camera work as clean as possible. ;-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
I experienced the same thing. Pandora would crash sometimes in buildOS and some times in the batch file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] zakhir_n:
Error

Hey,

I am trying to cook my own rom with the 318 base, and all I have done is unzipped the the three files (kitchen tools, OS, and OEM) and put them into a folder, run the buildOS.exe, choose my packages, but I keep getting "error building default.hv and user.hv" Any idea why? Any help would be appriciated, thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] MaciejN:
I get the same error. I used another kitchen and then just copied the ROM and SYS into it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] zakhir_n:

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

Thank you for all the hard work!

One question though. Is there anyway, to create cab files from the SYS packages, for later install? Office in a cab file? Enterprise in a cab file? I would like to be able to install office to my storage card, is that even possible?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] scotch whisky:
Wow!

The very first time I have tried cooking my own ROM and it all worked first time perfectly.

I can't believe it is this easy and I for the first time have exactly what I want.

Well done!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] scotch whisky:
p.s. Must update my signature!

Now done!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
The process is basically the same as 004's kitchen.

Run BuildOS and choose your packages

Click the green arrow to build

Once done, close BuildOS

Now click CreateROM.bat

Once finished, press enter to close (and error at this point is usually because you've chosen too much stuff)

In the flashrom folder, launch nb2nbf_wizard.exe

Top to bottom:

Check the OS box

Choose WWE under language

Choose a location for the nb file to be written to

Check the OS box

Browse to the file under temp (only one there)

Select OS from the dropdown

Click somewhere else and ensure the bit address is automatically filled

You should now be able to hit 'Translate' and create the rom

Use your regular flashing method to put it onto your phone

I'm going off memory from a different computer without the files available for me to verify off from. I'll update later today if I find something not right, but this should get you close enough to get it done.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'm sure there is, and I hope to be able to do it since I'm "decent" at taking a cab and making a package (NTS is still way better). I just need to take some time and learn it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
For now, trial and effect is about it. Ed put together a great script that will actuall allow you to put more into the rom. Might give it a try:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=307543
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Basically, you can add your registry setting to any .rgu file, as long as it is in a package that is going to get included in the ROM.

A safe bet is to add them to the x-faria folder (or Standard in this kitchen), since it is not "selectable" from the BuildOS screen.

If you don't add it to the file correctly, you'll get a hive error while creating the registry when you try and run BuildOS.

thank you in advance

Go to the bootloader, with the usb plugged in and flash a working rom.

Hold camera button down as you turn on your phone to get to bootloader.

Looks like you forgot to include fwupdate when you cooked your rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] RevAtB:
Observations...

Well how about the simple solution. Lets take FWUPDATE and stop making it an optional part of the rom build. Put it in the SYS/OS and leave it there. Force the install, integrate it. We have seen too many people unsure of what it is and leaving it out. Lets do the best we can to make this a positive experiance for users.

Also the "Contacts Backup" is an old version of the "PIM backup" if you look its even the same icon, thus should be removed, lest people install both and are confused. btw Current verrsion is actually 1.9. I have attached this version.

Problem with WM5torage?

Hi Matt/Nottoosmart....

Thanks very much for your hard work! I have just flashed the ROM I built using your kitchen and must say it seems really fast.

One thing I did notice though - included WM5torage in my build, but when I looked at Programs > Accessories, I noticed that WM5torage was displayed as a folder. Went into it, and found many icons underneath - look like links to folders on the PPC. So, looks like there may be a problem with the package.

I have just copied all the files from the WM5torage folder under OEM from Faria's v2 kitchen, with the exception of the options.xml file (kept yours), and am reflashing now.

Will let you all know if this solves the problem, and if it does, I'll post the new WM5torage package for the kitchen...

Joel

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] JoelC:
Problem with WM5torage resolved

Hi all,

Managed to solve the problem with WM5torage. I think there may have been a problem with the WM5torage shortcut that was put into Programs > Accessories... anyway, this new version is tested and working - just extract this ZIP file INTO the OEM\WM5torage folder in the kitchen, and let it overwrite the files already there.

All the best,

Joel

OK... I've been trying a few things in mine but can't recreate the error... (removed OEM tree, moved base directory out of the root of the drive). So, I'm not sure.

I have .NET Framework 3.0 installed, and .NET CF 2.0. If reinstalling .NET doesn't do it for you, I guess you might try redownloading the RK, deleting any RK stuff on your PC and starting again, :(

Unfortunately I have no further ideas at this point. Any takers?

Office

During BuildOS, I know that I checked to have Office installed, but after flash, the Office folder is nowhwere to be found (not in programs, or start menu). Is there any other system file that needs to be checked to have this installed?

Edit: Re-flashed again, and still do not have the Office folder. For clarification purposes, what items in the System section of BuldOS need to be checked?

Enterprise - ?

SqlCeMobile - ?

Catalog - ?

Media OS - ?

Kitchen operators manual

There's been a lot of questions about how to run the kitchen.

There are a number of great introductions in other threads, such as 004's, Faria's, and others. This kitchen doesn't provide anything different in process, just that the OEM folder contains a lot of stuff, and those items are displayed in BuildOS when it runs.

Until we develop a nice PDF manual, if you're not already familiar in the kitchen, please refer to these other great thread for some basic understanding of what takes place during a cook.

As well, we're also trying to ensure that all of the packages are functional, so we appreciate all of your feedback and contributions when you find a problem!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
Thats the same between all the kitchens. In nb2nbk you only fill out what you are going to put into the rom. Faria's verison names each line, where this one doesn't I don't belive) but either way, you only check fill out what you actually include (I think that part was confusing with Faria's instructions, and I don't remember what FUnman had there now).

Also, I should have pointed out, I started a Wiki for the Faria kitchen, and this may help too:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FPRK_Cooking_Instructions

May want to see about putting a similar wiki together for Pandora's Box Kitchen (or maybe just a generic on for all kitchens so they are all very similar).

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
We're actually using Faria's nb2nbk because it's nicely labeled for each component of the ROM - less chance for a bad 'oops'.

I like the generic wiki idea, because there isn't anything really new here - unless we wanted to start including that compression script that Ed made. I haven't gotten to play with it yet - but it seems like a sweet deal.
