Sorry, I was just being a wise ass. I was able to do it no prob reading Faria's tutorial.

I might not have even answered your question correctly, but reading Faria's tutorial. You should be able how to figure out how to cook a rom that contains both the OS and the Ext_rom.

So, the link for T-mobile can not be used? I beg the T-mobile Extonded roms.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] leshan:
But I just some necessary US T-mobile cabs. Such as T-zone, Hotspot, MMS, WAP.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
You'll have to wait. I'm not sure if anyone else is working on it. But I THINK I've narrowed down the cabs needed. One of them is an edit of the one available from the XM6 thread. I wanna run through a few hard resets before posting any results.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you have cabs specific to setting up WAP on a T-Mo phone, please post them and I'd be happy to make an extended rom. I won't add anything additional though - since I can't make a setup for everyone :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] raventec:
These are the T-Mobile specific cabs that I always use when setting up a new ROM. They seem to work fine on WM6. They've all been found around xda-dev.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
very cool, thank you. I'll fix the extended rom tomorrow :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
I just created an ext_rom that seems to be working well... I didn't include the My Email cab since once installed it doesn't seem to do much for me, but the contents of the rom are as follows...

I was wrong. The my email cab works for me now. Always gave me an error when I tried to "Download settings for existing My E-mail accounts" in the past.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] raventec:
SilverSurfR, way cool, I'm cooking up a new extended rom now with all of these. I don't use the hotspots or the winWAP myself but since you went and dug them up I may as well make my ext rom complete. Also, from what I've found you have to disconnect the USB and use the my email thinger via GPRS. I think the cab also provides the necessary settings / files for the T-Mobile "push" type email. Without it, I seemed to always got text messages with "701" in them whenever I got an email pushed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] raventec:
I know the old MMS cab stopped working correctly when a new MMS version came out some months ago so marscandybars posted another one. Did you find a problem with it and if so can you post your edited version?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
I wouldn't go so far as to say problems. It still worked, but it seems Arcsoft MMS changed where some settings were stored within the registry. Example: After installing marscandybars' version, I'd have to change the max msg size to 300k as it defaulted to 100k. I also removed some duplicate registry entries that were being taken care of by the OEM\Arcsoft MMS rgu, and some that seemed to be no longer used. Not a big deal, just some small tweaks to work a little better "out of the box" so to speak. I would advise NOT using this with another kitchen since there's no way to know if some of the duplicate entries I removed are included with another kitchen's rgu.

Hey Matt do you have aim?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
naw, I grew a severe disliking to AOL back in the 90's after their software installed a bunch of crap on my machine (gimme a dialup number and creditals - I don't need adware crap too...).

I do have MSN, but am rarely on. PM me if you want the address.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
yes, many times. I don't have it in the kitchen though, but will probably add it soon.

As for HTC Message - it is something that came with the Touch rom. I was hoping someone could tell me.:rolleyes:

thanks SS!

How did you manage to edit the MMS server entry? As I said I can get to the page and either add a new entry or edit the sample but when I click 'Done' nothing happens :confused:

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] edsub:
Wow Mat you seem very active here.

Any ideas when we can see a kitchen that

- Has the proper Blackberry 'hacks' and the BBConnect Client

- Has IIWPO in a configurable manner
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
once I get a working touchflo package (flailing away now :) ) and figure out what that second thing you referred to (IIWPO?)

Don't mean to downplay BBC users, just gotta have some prioritizing...:rolleyes:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I think I'm missing the root of your issue. I didn't have to configure anything. Just installed the build, ran the cingular cabs, and away it went.

I haven't even seen the server settings :o
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
Ah, OK. Can you check whether you see the same issue I am seeing? Start to write a new MMS, then select Menu, Options, MMS Configuration and then the Servers Tab. Can you edit your server and then click 'Done' OK?

Thanks

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
I just did all of that in the Pandora 3.2 rom (which is built off of these packages) with no problem. I had done the same as Matt, flashed the rom, installed my Cingular CAB and never touched MMS settings before.

I also just did the same and created a new entry by hand and it worked just fine...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I do notice that the extended rom I put up which has the WAP settings from my WM5 ext rom doesn't set this. I have to run the WAP cab I got from mfrazzz.

But yes, it works fine - I repeated your steps without issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
So I started out trying to get the French OEM stuff (APPS, DRIVERS, etc) to work in my 1413 base from a while back when I was working with the Pandora's Box Kitchen, and it just didn't want to fly. After a dozen attempts to make it work, I gave up - but all the while had the nagging sensation that I never had good success on the 1413 base anyway...

So I thought - why not use the 318?

So I did. After aproxamately 40 hours of reverse analizing the French rom and peeking through reTouched beta's rom, I have reworked the 318 kitchen with the TouchFlo files.

So so so, where am I going with this?

I've broken out the majority of components in the Touch software into individually selectable packages. There's gonna be a bunch of bugs. Mainly - missing shortcuts, duplicate reg entries, executables that won't execute, and such.

Here's how they break down:

Touch Home Plugin

Media Hub

Message

Phone Pad

Quick Dial

Streaming Player

Comm Manager

TouchFlo

WMP Today Plugin

Audio Manager

Dialer

I'm adding the beta kitchen link to Post 1 in a short while, so feel free to try. I will be flashing back and forth trying to weed them out, but figured I there was anyone else wanting to punish themselves, they could share the headache ;)

Note that I've also made changes to the 3.0 camera. I also found some additional bluetooth settings that may be interesting to try. It will NOT be backwards compatible with v3.4 OS as it sits now, there was just too much integration. However, everything that was available is still so, and it SHOULD be as good as it was - but time will tell :D

ext rom help

Matt (or anyone that can help) - I am going to try cooking my own extended ROM and I had a question or two (big surprise, right)

1. Just to verify that extended rom stays in a hard reset so I should download the clean one in case I want to wipe it right?

2. In Faria's guide, it basically walks you through creating a nk.nbf file and flashing just as you would a ROM. If I was in the process of building a ROM with the kitchen could I just do boh at the same time? What file(s) should I be trying to create and then use

3. Are there any advatages (other than not changing from flash to flash) of having a program in the ext-ROM vs using a package and putting it in the OEM?

4. Faria's guide says the extended ROM capacity is ~9.5M. Does this mean the nk.nbf should not be more than 9.5M or that the sum of the cabs you use should not be more than 9.5? Is there a check in the process to make sure that you don't go over?

5. In the cingular extrom posted to this thread there are several cabs. I have been using just one (Cingular WAP MediaNet MMS Settingsv2.cab) to setup all of this. Are the other ones really needed? IS there a way to extract the individual cabs from the nk.nbf?

I think that is it (at least until I almost brick my phone and coming back begging for help :) )
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
1. Yes. you could use TC, but I prefer to flash it.

2. During or by itself is fine, the file name is ext-rom-base.nb

3. Biggest bennie I think is that you can have XML's and exe's run from the ext rom. Can't do that with the OEM (for example: installing WAP settings)

4. Keep the entire ext rom smaller than 9.5, all inclusive.

5. Not necessarily. The cingular ext rom does have the OEM wap cab - but I need to replace it with the WAP cab from mfrazzz (the one you use). The security one lets you get "phone sensitive" sms's from Cingular. Yes, you can extract from the ext-rom-base.nb - use winimage.exe.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Okay, so just to clarify since I am sure this is the "dangerous" part...

If I follow faria's tutorial up to step two I will have a file called ext-rom-base.nb

I should then run nb2nbf.exe from your flashing section and select both the usual nb and OS in the drop down box AND also select box # 1 and the ext-rom-base.nb and follow faria's directions from there to create one big super nbf that has both?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Not sure if you cold post these as cabs, and not sure if that would really help as far as testing for packages goes, but I would be willing to test drive some of these if I could install them and then uninstall easily if there was a major issue or I didn't like and not have to reflash
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
correct - 9B000000 and Extension ROM
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
some day I will invest the time to get a CE cab builder... :o
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
One more question...

If I remove autostart from the ext_rom does that mean that they won't load automatically but that I could still use TC to open them? It would seem like yes, but I would rather not get a paperweight finding out the answer is yes.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] raventec:
If I remember correctly they won't load automatically, you can use TC to open them though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I would assume so...:confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
I believe the correct way would be to not click the check box in the kitchen that says something about running the ext_rom after hard reset when you build your rom. I don't know what the results would be removing the autostart file.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Thanks...

I am giving it a plunge...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'm sure you'll be fine. Just be sure your address is correct and set each one to read-only.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Okay.. I did it, it installed fine but it is not auto running or anything

I did not remove anything

I did a hard reset after flashing

I know the files are there since I used TC to explore and they are there.

Any thoughts?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
but they didn't autorun?

did you use the latest OEM download? an earlier build didn't have all the files.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Well, I used the latest OEM and OS folders. I am not sure if it was the newer kitchen or not.

What I did was use faria's tool (basically winimage) and tutorial to create a nb file. I then copied it to the dump directory after I ran build OS and createROM in your kitchen

I then used the nb2nbf.exe, selected both the 1st and second boxes and followed the directions in the tutorial.

Just out of curiosity, what are the consequences of running the cabs from TC?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
that's uncharted teritory for me. I know there's been battery drain and stability issues from messing with it - but nothing more firsthand.

Did you use winimage to look at one of the existing extended roms?

Also, here's the oem pack for enabling extended rom, check to see it's what you have:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
DId not have that, I guess other ROMs would have that by default so that is why! Installed and seems to work like a charm.

.. also did you mean to have the Battery Status version .04 instead of build 195 of the beta? NBD, I just upgraded after flashing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] abasu2003:
So, after reading another thread, I thought I would give this a brief test (although the real rom making will come this weekend).

I downloaded the kitchen, the OS.zip, and OEM.zip and extracted everything to the root directory and started up CreateRom.bat. I got this error message:

The system cannot find the path specified.
0 file(s) copied.
The system cannot find the path specified.
Unable to open source image [80040000-OS.nb]

And then a windows error message pops up saying that BuildImgfs.exe encountered a problem and needs to be closed.

Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] peter petrelli:
Do you have a 80040000-OS.nb located in the ROM folder of your kitchen?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
Did you run BuildOS first to select your options? Then click the green (start/play) button?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
Hmm... I never noticed there was an update to that pack, looks like I might have to rebuild. Is it too much trouble to ask you to put dates of last update? or MD5 hash of the files you upload? Sometimes it's difficult to tell when you last updated the files.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] abasu2003:
yes, it's there
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
In my futile attemps to keep up, I neglected to keep a revision history as I had in the past. I shall try harder going forward :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] abasu2003:
no, I did not do this. I was reading faria's tutorial which said that I should use CreateRom.bat which calls the BuildOS.exe file. Is that not right?

So, since I am not a total dolt, I decided to actually see what CreateRom.bat did. Well, I solved my original problem - I did not have a temp folder so I just created one.

However, I still get an error when it tries to execute Buildimgfs.exe.

Now, I'm guessing that this kitchen doesn't exactly work like Faria's kitchen in that it doesn't automatically call BuildOS.exe. So I guess I have to do that manually. However, I'm a little apprehensive of the fact that I am getting an error at the Buildimgfs.exe part. I've attached a screenshot. Looking at the .bat file, I have no idea what it does but it seems important.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
This is the order...

1. Run Build OS (check what you want)

2. Run CreateRom.bat (auto process)

3. Run nb2nbf.exe (in flashing, follow directions carefully)

4. Flash using ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe (in flashing)

That is really all there is to this. Not sure what error you are getting, but these are all the steps you need to do to flash a ROM using this kitchen
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
Do what he said. You don't have to create temp folder, buidOS does that if you don't have one. createrom does not call Buildos in matt's kitchen.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
dude - this just made sticky... should I feel special?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
Deserves it. I'm tired of looking. I was surprised a minute ago when it fell to page 2. :)

BTW. initflashfiles for Monopoly is broken.

Currently listed as...

Directory("\Windows\Programs\Games"):-File("MONOPOLY.lnk","\Windows\MONOPOLY.lnk")

Think it should be something like...

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games"):-File("MONOPOLY.lnk","\Windows\MONOPOLY.lnk")

**Edit**

Also, I don't know if you saw my post about smartskey. it's missing initflashfiles

I'm not entirely sure about the spaces, but the path is wrong.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Oh crap - did I post that? That's not supposed to have gone up :o

Same with Topo or Pocket Streets... Sorry guys, I left in some packages I was working on for myself in there.

I'm gonna try and get a bunch of Touch software up tonight, but I'm running out of steam. We'll see.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SilverSurfR:
I'm not complaining. Monopoly rocks. Had that before I upgraded to WM6, haven't reinstalled with the last couple of days flashing. BTW I edited my post while you were replying, take a quick look. not sure if you read the post where I mentioned it.

Intent MIDlet manager 11.1.7.1023 - OEM package

Hi,

the last MIDlet manager OEM package i posted a few pages ago didn't work very well: it used files taken from .1023 and .1029 builds at the same time giving unpredictable results.

Since i've not been able to find a full .1029 release, i think we should use build .1023 instead (it is well tested and works with opera mini and google maps very well).

In the link below you can download the OEM package for it, intent midlet manager 11.1.7.1023:

PLS NOTE: THIS VERSION .1023 IS OUTDATED! I PUBLISHED THE FULL .1029 A FEW POSTS AFTER THIS ONE. USE THAT ONE!!!

http://rapidshare.com/files/39399936/Java_MIDlet_Manager_11.1.7.1023_-_isy.zip.html

If you need the cab (to install in a rom which doesn't include it) you can search in the Wizard Upgrading part of this forum.

PS: this OEM package has not yet been tested. I made it from the cab i published some months ago and i think it should work ok but, as always, your mileage may vary! :)

Bye
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
If someone is available to test it, I'm happy to add it in. I've never used it ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] risidoro:
I'm downloading mun's aRTM release to see if i can extract the full .1029 build from there. Then i will test the .1023 build i published and the .1029 (if i'll be able to get it) and let you know.

Bye
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] risidoro:
I got it!!!

I think i was able to get a FULL 11.1.7.1029 build!!!

Now i'm testing it in my phone... i'll report back in a hour...stay tuned!

Extended ROM tips

I found that in older versions of the kitchen where i couldnt get the autorun to work i did the following. This willl work well for the person who doesnt want their Ext Rom to run automatically.

I took the autorun out of the ext rom, and just put the exe on my storage card, but made sure i still had the config.txt and cabs in ext rom, then once i did a hard reset, whenever i want to install the cabs i just run the autorun.exe from my mem card and it runs the config.txt file and installs all my cabs in order i put them, works a treat.

I have it autorunning now using the Extended Rom Launch package in the kitchen, including a nice custom graphic while the cabs are installing :)

LATEST MIDlet manager 11.1.7.1029!!!

I've the pleasure to present you, the FULL REAL 11.1.7.1029 OEM Package, the latest one!!!

I've also hacked it so it can give session-long internet authorization even to unsigned applets (this means that you have to authorize internet access for your apps only when you start them. The authorization will be valid for the full session!)

Tested with MobileGMaps (both stable and development releases), Opera Mini 4beta, Opera Mini 3.02.

The OEM package is available here:

This is going to make me look really stupid, but here goes...

1. What is the difference between the Java app Matt released in the last round of OEM kitchen and your intent midlet manager? Are they just variations of the same basic thing? If so, what advantages does have vs. the other?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
Nah, now you just really have to keep a change log current!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] risidoro:
The midlet manager distributed with the latest kitchen (3.4) is outdated and broken. The one I posted is the most up to date and should work (at least in my phone it worked). These are the only differences. I published the new package here because I hope matt will add it in the next kitchen rel.

The kitchen also include a package called Sun Java, I think it is a different midlet manager, i've not tried it so I don't know if it is better than intent's. Maybe matt can shed some light on it. bye

OK,

- For Blackberry mayby its easier for you to only apply the hex-edits and the AKU setting? You wont have to create a package for the BBC client as it is free available from ie Vodafone.

- I mentioned IIWPO few posts back. There is a Wiki on it (to which I contributed heavily). IIWPO introduces a way to get to the new owner of your device when it is stolen. It is a CAB, but one of the files in it need to be personalized before install, this is what makes it hard for some. By nature the best place for such an app is in the 'ROM'.
