The comm manager issue is probably related to the 1413 still having comm manager setting in an .rgu. I don't think there were any comm options when 1413 was being worked. I'll peek at it and see what's there.

Can you try and install the cab - and if that works - It'll give a good point to work from.

I should have made the warning more pronounced for the 1413 OS - I have not personally built from it for over a month - and a lot of stuff has been added to the OEM pack since then. Sorry... :o

Update - I only noticed a help file and link - no other settings that I could see.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] epimazzo:
Hi Matt....

Yep, it seems that is something already there related to RGU comm or similar. During buildos process, it generates an error stating that a file is already in place. So, I'll give a try on 318 OS instead 1413 and see if it works or not. Tell you later.

Even I decide not use any of those comm packs over 1413 kitchen, I got the same result.

BTW,

The kitchen is simple, really simple, clear and easy to use. Thanks a lot for this gift!:D

has anyone seen issues with selecting the Camera 3.0 - and the icon doesn't work in the built ROM?

I had this issue in the past, but I though it was since fixed. I've built a number of roms without issue, but it may be surfacing again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] epimazzo:
If it helps you, I got an issue when trying using camera both through hardware button or icon.

see attached :rolleyes:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ANTC:
thats what i was talking about Matt
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
ok... I'll go ahead and build a rom with just 3.0 and try it. That should give me a good indication of if it's okay by itself or if another package is influencing it... Glad I didn't delete my last build :rolleyes:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] abasu2003:
In the sprit of making my own packages:

I looked through Faria's tutorial about making packages and it looks fairly straightforward. I downloaded CabWuz and decided to try something easy - MortSaver.

What i found was that CabWuz only extracted the files, no shortcuts or registry settings. for registry settings, I realize I have to make my own rgu file anyway, but it would be nice if I got all of the registry edits in text format instead of just a screen telling me what they are (and not an easy to navigate screen either).

Also, in trying to figure out what's in a shortcut file, I opened a shortcut file in an existing OEM package. It reads something like this

#39 "Windows\MortSaver.exe"

(off the top of my head)

Now I get the shortcut part, but to what does the number refer to? I opened up a couple of shortcut files and the numbers seem to differ. Anybody know?

Or, is there a better Cab Extracting program that outputs registries and shortcuts in a better way?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Straight out of the kitchen (latest OS and OEM), I added only Camera 3.0, and it works fine.

Please PM me your recipie and I'll try to replicate it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'm growing fond of the WinCE CABs Analyzer. #1, its free. and 2, you can get near perfect .rgu entries from the XML display.

The biggest thing with the entries in the int file is to ensure you catch all the shortcuts, etc. Typically programs are created to run with certain files in the same folder. So if you were to only move the .exe and it expected a dll in the same folder - you'd get an error. By leaving them in the Windows directory (where they'll be anyway, since initflashfiles only copies) you are relatively sure it will work there, and less work is involved.

Typicall the number refers to a prior section's path entry. Sor for example path #1: ppx

down further, you may see an entry like:

HKLM, path #1, kickme, 1.

Just replace the path entry into the full line, fix the syntax, and it should work.

Camera 3.0 question?

Matt, I just built a ROM last night using the latest OS and OEM packs (at about 2:00 AM or something) and my camera works fine from both the icon or the external button. Is it a hit or miss thing?

Though I did almost drop a load last night. I was trying to apply the ROM and when it hit 32% my computer rebooted of its own accord. Luckily the trick of holding the button on a hard reset to get the USB connection allowed me to reflash it. This newest ROM seems fast as all heck and rock solid stable so far.

Now if only I could integrate my bootup screens into the ROM (instead of a separate install) and maybe get a nice custom theme going...I would have some awesome sh!t going!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ANTC:
Umm this is weird problem..I think theres something wrong somewhere..because I got this same error with the HTC audio player but only on curtain builds of my rom...Matt Get me on aim if possible...AntCandy1991
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
the boot screen is easy, just replace the welcomhead.96.png. You can also change screens 1 and 2 with the tools in here - search 3 splash screens.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] notyourdaddy:
I had the same camera issue yesterday as well.

The comm manager issue with 1413 is that comm manager is in sys\oemapps if im not mistaken. I've moved back to my previous kitchen so i can't verify that at the moment.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
oh, and about every 50 flashes or so my pc will bsod during the flash... starting to anticipate it...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ANTC:
matt any update on the camera issue man?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jruser:
Matt,

In 1413, the commmanager files are still there so people will get errors if they select a different commanager:

OEM_Lang_0409: CommManager.htm

OEMAPPS: CommManager.exe, CommManager.exe.0409.mui, CommManager, CommManagerRes.dll, CommManager_Help

When making a 1413 build without choosing any commmanager, the one in the SYS folder won't work anyways. My personal favorite one for this rom is the 7 button OEM one you have listed. You can easily add the registry entries to the rgu for the seven button one and it will become a 10 button commmanager.

Also, when building 1413, the Camera that you have does not even come close to working. The reduced camera package I sent you a while back still works fine and uses 1/3 of the space.

Regarding the X-Button, it appears to me that the registry entries you have in the 1.5 folder are actually for the files in the 1.0 folder (not that it matters). The files in the 1.0 folder do appear to be the latest version. The registry entries in the 1.0 folder appear to be for an older version of the program than is in either of the folders.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] masr1979:
Hate to burden you even further, but could you possibly upload this cab analyzer? My pc broke down, and corrupted the cr@p out of my HDD so I'm waiting for a new HDD to recover my files. In the mean time I don't have a cab analyzer installed on any of the other computers in my house, so I'm not able to play around with things as much as I like for the moment. If you could provide a link or something it would be great; I googled around, but found nothing, so if you could kindly point me in the right direction.

HTC Touch Dialer

Using the latest kitchen, I have installed the HTC Touch Dialer OEM Package, and it works fine.

If I also install the Voice Speed Dial OEM Package as well, I lose the new dialer,

and it shows the old one. However, the screen for the initial Pin Code shows the HTC Touch style.

Has anybody managed to get them working together?

WM6 theme

The classic blue WM6 theme is appearing with a black center. Is this intentional? Is the theme tied into the the OS or the OEM? I would like to be able to fix it. Thanks! Also, thanks for all the hard work on this.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
it works fine for everyone outside of Seattle ;)

I grabbed the comm manager components from an older WM6 build. It may have the .mui from a different color scheme, or if the black keyboard is selected - it may affect this as well - though I have never personally tested this.

sorry it didn't work as expected. If you're able to figure out a fix - please post it and I'll update that package :)

ZoomSMS not working...and it's my fault!!!

Hi Matt, Hi All,

i'm really sorry to say that the package ZoomSMS is not working and that i'm the responsible for this. Some days ago i told you to remove two i-believed-unnecessary files from the zoomsms package: the were related to quicklink (a different eten program) so i thought they could be removed. It turned out that i was wrong: zoomsms complains about missing quicklink files when i try to see a missing call or to read an sms. Sadly, I don't have the two files. They were found in the 3.3 release of the OEM archive which i don't have anymore.

@All: if you have those two files (their names contain "quicklink") can you pls post them somewhere?

@Matt: pls re-add those files to the zoomsms package... and sorry for my mistake.

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

Excellent! I'll upload the updated packages shortly.

@mattk_r and all others: thnx for this effort. For the first time I've seen such a community driven kitchen effort and it seems to me that the kitchen is certainly evolving into a nice shape because of inputs from so many angles (and it has so many options and OEM packages inbuilt for lazy bones like me)...

Thnx once again..

Keep up the good work...

Thanks to Whiterat and the-equonox, I just had the first successful build with touchflo actually working. I'll be included in the uploading build.

Note 1413 has not been set up for it yet.

Does anyone have a good copy of Audio Manager? I'd really like to ensure it's working before posting this kitchen build with Touchflo...

Battery Status

Dear Matt,

With the latest BatteryStatus in the OEM Packages(3.6), I have added programs to the TrayLaunch. After a re-boot it appears to hang on the second splash screen. I will investigate this quickly.

Edit: I can re-produce this every time. The 1.04.202 beta3 build 0195 will not cause this.

I will post this in the BatteryStatus thread.

Tony
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks Tony, I reverted the package back to 0195.

Still trying to get Audio Manager resolved... so close!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jruser:
In the 'HTC X-Button 1.5' folder from your OEM 3.6 package:

Notice the very last line. This is the version number of the executable that is in the X-Button 1.0 folder (from your OEM 3.6 package), so it appears somebody got the registry entries swapped along the way.

Also notice the 'EnableTodayX' line. This line is nice to have as a reference in case anybody wants to tweak settings.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] shantzg001:
I dont think reverting to 0195 is a good idea...i have used package 218 and dont see an issue...195 build however has a serious paint handling and performance related issue..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
great- thanks. I updated the .rgu, so the package in 3.7 should be good to go.

Still trying to get Audio Manager working. I loaded the latest OEM pack of it from V's thread, but it didn't work. I'm suspecting there's a missing file or conflicting registry setting somewhere, but still trying to find it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattk_r:
Is 218 the version in OEM 3.6? I've seen this resetting issue as well, and if it is attributed to batterystatus, we need a solution. I'm back to 0195, so please let me know which version you don't see this issue with.

Allright, so I am at a dead-end with the Audio Manager issue for the moment. I can't flash anymore for a while, so I added the link to the OEM pack in the first post.

TouchFlo IS working fine, and other than Audio Manager not working, everything seems to work well, including the touch dialer. 27 meg free and 45 storage free after installing all of the touch software plus a bunch of other stuff, and it's pretty quick.

A camera package I was working with/testing was missing some key files for the Audio Manager - and was driving me nuts. I switched back to the old Camera 3.0 and everything started working again. I should have done that much sooner.

All that's left now is the quickdial isn't acting properly - none of the buttons allow you to add a contact picture. I'm bouncing between a test kitchen with the original OEM packages from the-equonox and Whiterat to try and get a good combination dialed in.

HTC Streaming Media?

I have added HTC Streaming Media to my ROM but it won't run, I get the classic

Now I know this is more than likely a missing file(s), has anyone a list of what files are required for this to work? Are there any dependencies on other packages being installed - I have Arcsoft MMS 4, Camera Application 3.0 and Camera Video Filters installed (all of these work OK) :confused:

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] the-equinoxe:
The problem is that quickdial crashes as soon as it has been started, what you see on the screen is the actualy the background (BRN file) from the touchflo cube.

This has been done by HTC to make the cube run more fluently, first you see background, then the app is loaded.

So when quickdial crashes you'll see the background with no text and no ability to add pictures, but it looks like it has been started.

Had the same problem with 318, and because I didn't had the time I proceeded with 1413, the dependencies from quickdial match 1413, but some differ from the 318, so I suspect it's sys related.

Best regards,

EqX
