I'm also having this problem without installing X-button. The X/OK button just doesn't work right. The only fix I've found so far is to use non-touchflo configurations.

theloon, have you noticed any problems with the X/OK buttons? I've tried two different kitchens, hard resets, and always flashing back to the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM inbetween tries.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
I've been able to use Build OS in other kitchens without any problem, it just telle me BuildOS.exe has encountered an error and must be closed... something close to that.

@ kegobeer

I mean this kitchen, where do I put the OEM folders and my base ROM? Others usually have specific places where they go
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kegobeer:
The kitchen theloon posted (v1.3) has placeholder directories for OEM, ROM, and SYS. Drag and drop - that's all there is to it. There's also a readme.txt file for you.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
I must have missed something, in the first thread it says that both the .318 OS and the OEM pack were updated to version 4.0 on the 17th and thomassster mentions version 4.1 in a post above, but the links in the first thread still say OS ver. 3.8 - uploading and also OEM ver. 3.9 - uploading. I was out of town for a few days and wasn't able to keep up with this thread while I was gone, but I went back 3 or 4 pages looking to see if the links were posted there, but didn't find them. Did I not go back far enough or did I just completely miss them?

Nevermind, found it. Missed it by 1 page.

OS 3.7 has a bug with theme size limitation, OS 3.4 Loads it fine, VGA and QVGA Size themes, while OS 3.7 doesn't load. NO X-Button in the builds. What can be replaced or subsituted from OS 3.4 to 3.7 so it can work. If someone knows please let me know. Thanks

I just notice on the other thread about screen alignment and loosening the screws. This seem to work okay and maybe some people might want to test it out. My X button seems to be more accurate with the loose screws.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] icezar:

This is nonsense, my wizard has no problem with X button on NBD 7.9.

So this issue can be fixed by software. I will not advice anyone to start messing with the hardware.

Version 4.1

Dear TheLoon,

My grateful thanks for taking over the maintenance of this kitchen.

I downloaded version 4.1, and noticed the following :

Some customisation appears initially and after a hard reset. The customisation contains Cingular settings, ContactsAdd, and .tsk files. Also the HTC Touch dialer is not showing in the Enter Pin screen, but does show when dialling.

Regards

Tony

So with the touch dlls, it seems as if I press the X button lightly, my applications close down fine. When I press it hard, it does some pretty funky things. Does anyone else work the same way?

If I put an Empty Extended ROM, will that unused space become part of my storage/system memory?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Cing 8125:
Freezing on Restart

Anyone else having this problem?

I consider the ROM I built lite (23.74 MB) only thing added is RL Today (puts a large time display on the screen) & BT Audio Toggle.

This is the 3rd variation I have built, I had a problem the other day when I updated the radio and thought that was the problem. Since than I noticed after I install a new ROM and put my settings the way I like ( Today screen, Start menu, background, etc). When I do a soft reset it hangs on the 3rd splash screen, the blue green windows mobile one. I have to keep pressing the soft reset and have pulled the battery, it takes about 10 times and than finally starts up. the last time the clock was wrong, battery status & RL Clock was missing on the today screen.

I like the ROM I built and would like to keep using it if it wasn't for this problem.

anyone seen anything like this? or have a solution.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tony Simmonds:
Dear Cing

If you added BatteryStatus 218, and used TrayLaunch, this "feature" will happen. You need BatteryStatus 195 if you are using TrayLaunch.

Regards

Tony
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Cing 8125:
Yes the version that was in the OEM package is 218, and I am using tray launch.

I will try using 195.

Thanks a bunch, this was making me nuts.

Another Q,

Which key do I enable in the registry...so that when I am making a text message I can just put the name in the "To:" Field, and it will search through the contacts?

As of right now, I have to goto Menu --> Add Recipient, Which is somewhat annoying.

Also, it seems the Kaiser Today Plugin doesn't seem to install properly? It just installs the regular home plugin (b/w, not color)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
Kaiser PI

The color icons are a modification from someone else, not the original.

Check the Kaiser thread. I can incorporate them in another package if you would like

or you could do it yourself and post a link and I will add it to the next build.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] shadezero:
They look good, if u can incorporate it that would be great.

Another thing though, if you could add "autocomplete" for text messages, registry tweak on, that would be nice.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Merlin_reloaded:

OMG...what a mess...

Me thinks I have done a really good job of thinking I knew what I was doing here. You all know the guy/gal that knows just enough to be dangerous? Right at the moment, that would be me...

So here is the situation... I have flashed my 8125 about a dozen times now, either with pre-built ROM or using Faria's Kitchen. With all the cool new stuff in the "touched" versions I wanted to get a bit more bang for my buck so I downloaded and Kitchen Centeral 4.1 and started playing around. I added back some of the "please test" packages, put in the color Today plug in, etc. The ROM builds fine, no errors, loads fine, no errors but OMG the phone goes straight to H*** when I turn it on. If any of you fantasitic hyper-smart people out there can find the error of my ways I would be very greatful.

Here are the build specs and the post build condition:

Spec:

IPL/SPL: 2.26 (t-mobile build) tried IPL/SPL:3.08 too.

GSM: 2.19.11

8125 G3

Post Build condtion:

PC reports USB not recognized, reboot PC fixes that.

8125 will not run ANY CAB file, simply reports unsuccessfull

PC will not allow activeSync partnership, stays as guest (ActiveSync 4.5)

and now the really cool part...

If I open the launcher and tap the "set backlight" button, the whole phone locks up and will stay that way until I soft reset or pull the battery.

If I try to re-flash (to anything, even just run the splash update) the updater program will error saying it cant create the file. I have to go to bootloader mode to re-flash. Then reboot the PC to re-establish connection.

On a completely minor issue, the HTC audio plugin doesnt show up on the today screen although it is in programs.

Fortunately I have been able to re-flash back to a known good ROM in each case. I have tried several attempts at the build with various OEM options and always get the same result.

Thanks for your support!

I want to change the default applications in the launcher before I build the ROM. Would you tell me which file I need to edit?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
I had a very similar situation when I built. I tried reflashing and actually had it hang and give an error message while flashing. NBD, I just put it into boot loader and then reflashed with my last working .nbf (from v3.6 of the OEM and pack)

I was going to give it another whirl this weekend.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Russ741:
thanks DiveNut, at least I'm not the only one out here that has experianced this. Now if I can just figure out why the backlight shortcut in the launcher lockes up the phone and why I cant load any CAB files.... Oh and of course why the tempremental weather program doesnt like the XML file.

Russ741
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Merlin_reloaded:
The Adjust Backlight has never worked for me, and I don't really care. So it takes 3 taps instead of one...big deal.

By the way, if you are trying to use the HTC Home Plugin with the weather file ( try the world weather file ,NOT from the "needs work" folder), check if PIE works. If not, try to cancel the customization procedure after a HR, that should do the trick.

RE: Adding shortcuts to Launcher

First off, a disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything you mess up, if your house burns down/up, bla bla bla.:)

:cool:

Now that we got it out of the way, it's down to business.

1. Open up the plugin folder, and look for a file with the extension *.rgu ( the part before the .rgu can and will be different)

2. Using notepad or a similar text editor, open it up.

Use Find to look for this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\0]

There should be another 8 lines after this with the last number from 1 to 8

e.g.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\1]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\2]

................

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\8]

3: Select any one of these and insert the following immediately after the headers (a.k.a [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\H........)

"DispName"=" HTC AudioManager"

"Path"="\\Windows\\AudioManager.exe"

"Type"=dword:1

"Uptime"="2007,06,13,5,31,15"

<----------------end of copy region----------->

4. Edit these lines. This is only an example

Leave the text before the = sign as it is. Alter the parameters as you like, but only inside the dbl-quotes

Explanation of the parameters

i) Dispname is the name of the application

ii) Path is, well, the path of the application. Should be in Windows, but can be anywhere else. Make sure to use TWO //s instead of one

iii)Leave the Type value as it is

iv)I haven't figured out uptime yet, but I think it's a text value saying WHEN you added the shortcut.

Save it, and you should be ready to go.

:cool: P.S : If there is text after the header, be sure to remove it all before adding the new stuff. I have seen some nasty complications.

:eek: IMPORTANT: Add a carriage-return-linefeed (hit the enter key) after the values, or you will mess up the RGU compiler.

ver4.1

See Post #780, but I am working on ver4.2 and it may take a little longer than I had intended because my time is so limited at the present.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
my kitchen decline any addings, i think there is a limit for the files.

because it heppened for me every time i want to cook.

when the buldimgs.exe wants to end there is a window appears and telling me there is a problem and i have to close it, when i remove the last package i added it will going well, the problem wasn't from the same package because i used many of packages to add but the same problem.

any idea??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
It sounds to me like maybe you're doing something wrong when you're adding your files to your kitchen. Does each file have a .dsm file, a .rgu file (only needed if it needs to add registery settings) and an initflashfiles? The other thing that I can think of that could cause this is if you built all of the packages yourself, did you get a different UUI or GUI number for each package that you created?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
i released 3 roms before here and other places, so don't worry about creating packages.

i told you, i used more than 5 packages to add (built by me and by others) the same problem, which means something like limit i think or an issue with buildimgs.exe, do you think there is something wrong with the same packages im using?? ( i mean the packages which the kitchen accepted them before adding packages more )

tnx for replying :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
also when i remove packages and adding the same packages which have issues, the kitchen accept them (confused think)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Sorry its right, I must have missed that post and was just touching on the usual reasons for the kitchen not accepting a new package.

I guess the best way to find out if the kitchen has a size limit would be to go in and pull out a bunch of packages that you know you aren't going to use and see if it allows you to use them after that. I know that there probably is a limit to the number of packages you can actually add to a rom, but I wouldn't think only adding 5 of them would be enough to hit that limit unless you're adding everything else in the entire kitchen to it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
if i pull out them then run the buildimgs.exe, will run w/o problems, when i put the packages which don't accepted before, also will run w/o problem, and if i put again the files which i pull out, will show me the error message.

for more details, BuildOS.exe runs w/o any problems, the problem when i start buldimgs.exe, will adding all the files, when it arrives to the end of files, it stopped then showing " there is a problem with Buildimgs.exe app, and you have to close it ". im using faria and core kitchens, the same problem, but core one will do everything right, but while upgrading the device will stop on 95~98% :eek: .

tnx again mr.xeno1
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Hmm, you've got me. Maybe you are hitting the limit for the number of files that can be cooked in to the ROM. Did you ever think about creating an extended ROM and just putting the cab files of the packages that you want to add in to it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
so there are a limit for the files!!!

if there do you think dsm files counted as file!!

the extended rom usless for me and also for g4 users :confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
Judging from my poking around, there seems to be 2 formats to the way these XML files are formated. So depending on if you are using the non-Kaiser or Kaiser plugin they won't be interchangable.

snippet of Kaiser XML

<city name="AK - Anchorage"	loca="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Birmingham"	loca="NAM|US|AL|BIRMINGHAM" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Huntsville"	loca="NAM|US|AL|HUNTSVILLE" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Mobile"	loca="NAM|US|AL|MOBILE" land="United States"/>

snippet of non-Kaiser XML

<city name="US - AK - Anchorage"	locationcode="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE"/>
<city name="US - AL - Birmingham"	locationcode="NAM|US|AL|BIRMINGHAM"/>
<city name="US - AL - Huntsville"	locationcode="NAM|US|AL|HUNTSVILLE"/>
<city name="US - AL - Mobile"	locationcode="NAM|US|AL|MOBILE"/>

it sounds to me like he may be trying to overload the rom. In my personal experience (YMMV) I've found that buildimgs error always happened when I tried to add too many packages. Now I'm not quite sure if he means ANY 5 packages, or 5 specific packages. 5 packages doesn't seem like much, but depending on what they are, I'd say it can add up rather quickly. Especially with packages like touch, transcriber, MIDlet, and Voicecommand to name a few.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
It looks like there is a limit, especially if you've tried it in more than one kitchen and it does the same thing. I figured there was, but I didn't figure that you could hit it so easily. Looks like the best thing for you to do would be to pull out the packages that you find the most useless and replace them with the packages that you really want to add. I myself would also pull the packages out that are for apps that get updated constantly, such as things like batterystatus, etc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
tnx for your replies bro
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
No problem, wish I could have helped more. One other thing that may help you add a few more packages would be to compress the files. I can't help you out there though, I don't have any idea how to do that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
the problem with the number of files to be dumped, if the problem with the size i can do compressions because i have the optimizer app and did it before.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Unfortunately I don't know if the limit is placed on the number of files or on the total size of all of the apps combined. I would think it would be on the total size of all the apps combined and doing a little compression might help you sneak in an extra package or two. I guess that would all depend on how much you can get the files compressed and how large the files are that you that you try to sneak in. Theloon or silversurfer might be able to help you out with that more than I can.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
let me check now with compression method, tnx for the good discussion :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
No problem, I'm enjoying this discussion. By the way, where did you get the compression app from? I'd like to add it to my set of tools.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] its right:
from core kitchen

i tried to compress but many issues appear with the apps compressed, like before i hate the compression process, if it useful, HTC will do it
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Sorry its right, I'm out of ideas. I can't think of any other way to try to put more packages in other than to give up a few of the less used packages. If I think of anything else I'll definitely let you know.

Thanks for letting me know where the compression tool was, I've only played with the core kitchen a little and I didn't realize that was in there. From what I've read from some of the cooks on here it must be pretty difficult to compress a file the right way to work in a kitchen. I think I'm going to have to do some playing with the compression tool and see what I can figure out when I get the chance.

Update!

:D I have been working on a completely new build of Ver 318 for the "Consolidated Kitchen Central - Build it YOUR way" kitchen and need some brave souls to beta test what I have so far. Anyone interested can PM me for the link. This beta contains these fixes and add ins:

Back light no longer freezes

Spelling/Word completion now works

5 Tab Home screen w/favorite people dialer

Home screen is now more transparent

You should be able to add any packages you like, if you have any problems make sure you don't have duplicate .rgu and .dsm

Now you should really be able to "build it the way you like".

I haven't fully incorporated the "The Cube", yet.

This ROM has built in AT&T customize on first install and on HR, if you don't need it just remove the OEMOPERATORS FOLDER from SYS, but please try out the Aero.tsk.

This build only contains SYS, ROM, OEM so use your kitchen tools and have fun!

Please use the "Beta Testers Needed" thread for inquiries, problem reports, fixes.
