mattk_r, thanks for all your effort to build this tool for us; it is very useful and it works perfectly. I flashed my phone three times already, and no problems met.

I am a newbie to cooking ROMs, and I would like your assistance in the following:

-- what registry file needs to be edited in order to get the registry changes in final ROM (I have succesfully decompiled/changed/compiled the default.hv /sys/metadata/, but changes after flash were not present :( ).

-- is there a size limit of the ROM in case some files are changed and are bigger than original.

-- how can I add/remove a program/feature from BuildOS.

-- is posiible to create an installer that will import .cab file to the ROM/

-- is there a way to make the OS with BigStorage right after cooking.

-- how to create and add my own ExtROM (what are its basic comands, like copy, run etc.).

-- how to customize the initial TimeZone and Regional Settings.

-- more questions to come up while customizing my ROM :)

Thanks again for your support!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I think I may have already addressed this in beta 3. I have removed the reg settings from /SYS/OEMDrivers and moved Enable and Volumn to the packages for the HTC and AT&T Startup options. I'll post it tomorrow :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:

Matt (or anyone really)- did I miss something?

Flashed the Beta 2 that I was having problems with before (the dual plugin idiocy) and I see only three ring tones?

Is that right? 3 ring tones available for incoming calls?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] unwired4:
Cooked my first couple of roms with this. Like the interfaces when cooking.

Had a problem with first rom creation when I ticked both media players and today plugins. Unticked one and it worked.

Only problem with the actual rom was the horrible 3g icon and the lack of "h" icon.

Hi Matt, just a quick question have you pulled the link as I remember seeing it yesterday but now I can´t find it?:confused: I suppose this fix will be in the Beta3 but I just want to try it out... thanks

Hi Matt

Can you replace HTC Home with this one?

Can you use the Dopod base Rom?

I really like this kitchen.

I have a couple of questions which I hope some someone can help me with

1 - Earlier on in this thread (i think post # 68) someone posted the OEM, ROM and SYS files for the Dopod official WM6. With the continuous update of this kitchen, can these 3 files be still used with this kitchen and have a cooked rom based on the Dopod Official one instead of the at&t?

If so would this have any effect on enabling or disabling the PTT function?

2 - If I cook my own custom Rom with this kitchen will it affect the extended rom folder in anyway? Are there any settings or customisation placed in the ext. rom folder or is it left completely untouched?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Only 2 things so far;

The OEM 7-Button Comm Mgr doesn't show correctly, almost invisible. I'm using the 9 now.

I'm still playing around with the preconfig, I've got the Time sync with Tower, and setacousticparam.

I just have to get rid of the Att wap settings, in that it forces a proxy not allowing access to WF.

(I know about 'UserAgent' it's not that) It's has to do with cing proxy, I've been thru this before)

I'll get it working by process of elimination.

Now as far as the sync time with Tower, I know its the .provxml.

Matt, you said you use Synchro Time, but does it live sync, (always communicating with Tower) or only when you 'tap' query?

If it's live - 'always on' then I'll skip all the Att customization crap, and just have the preconfig run setacousticparam only.

Thanks

Berd
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I just fudged my phone playing with the reg - so I'll check that 7 button again.

Syncro Time is on demand only.

Not allowing WF? I haven't "gone online" yet to test this personally...

Big storage? I'm almost there!

I'm close to have my own build ROM with big storage but...do I need to rename the (big storage OS-new.nb again to os.nb and place him back in the ROM directory to work with the kitchen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
just run BuildOS then CreateROM. It does it for you. Read the batch file if you need details :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Yeah, apparently the Wizard I got this from had some base images in it's OEMAPPS folder. I'll yank this one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
It´s no big deal, I have a cab fix anyway.

Quick question...will you be including the new version of X button (1.51) in BETA 3 in the OEM?? It´s much more stable than previous versions... thanks;)

PS I have no issues so far, not even with Notes and I have a very striped down version running.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I tried the OEM package of 1.51, and when I checked it on the phone - it came up as 1.0. I may have done something wrong - but my first impression wasn't so hot. If someone has the cab of a known good setup - please post it and I'll try it again. For now, it's just 1.5 :o

Note too that I made a crapload of changes and additions in this build. Here's a rough summary:

Added:

comm manager vibe toggle (tnx odie)

wm5 sound scheme "

wm6 sound scheme "

PTT enable

PTT disable

4 meg PP ROM

8 meg PP ROM

10 meg PP ROM

Updated:

Gsfinder

Removed:

11th button for comm manager

That's all I can remember for now. Uploading now, be about an hour.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
oh, and if anyone has a carrier specific PreAutoRun setup they'd like to contribute, please post :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
my x-button build version 1.51 (build 30229) works perfectly)

One bug im not sure if this wm6 doesnt support it or not but my tcpmp doesnt find my .flv files which i have been using quite comfortable with my own rom cooking. could be a bug or this wm6 version but youtube videos is a must for me. gonna flash to one of my older rom and see if it works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
No worries;) ... I appreciate the amount of time and effort you must be putting into this!!

Here´s the cab for the latest X button 1.51 (Build 30229)... I installed it a few days back and it´s working great!

Look forward to the new build.... thanks.

Do you have ATI imageon fix in your kitchen?

I believe this is an important one to include if not already in their.

Hi Matt,

I saw in post #1 that problem of "Button 5" disappeared. Is it fixed in Beta3 ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
yep! Edhaas found the dll that was locking the button. Beta 3 offers you the choice of using PTT or not. If not used, the buttons are mapped to voice speed dial (if installed) and Notes.

Hi matt,

Great work mate, this tool is just so freakin' awsome! Keep up the great work :)

In relation to my earlier post about adding the extra network bands (i think they are only found in Australia) i found the registry tweak nessasary to do it, it is below. Perhaps you could add it to the next version, or give me some pointers on how i could include it in my rom.

Also, in terms of adding operator settings such as gprs and mms, how would one go about including them in a rom. I would be happy to make a few cabs or whatever files you need, so you could include a set of tick boxes with the major operator settings from around the globe.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lokmeup:
Not sure what the setting is, but whenever I shutdown/restart the phone it sets itself to vibrate... even if I previously had it set to ring. I remember one of the other chiefs had this issue with there ROM and they were able to fix it. It would be nice if it were fixed in the next release.

Thanks

Ron
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you search the /OEM/OEMAPPS and /OEM/OEMDrivers .rgu files, you might see an entry for PhoneButtonVibrate or something like that (check the .rgu under /OEM/Comm Manager Vibe Toggle for the path). See what this is set to. It may be that there are multiple entires?

Did you select the Comm Manager Vibe Toggle choice? Are you running Beta 3? I worked with this in Beta 3, but not before then.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Actually, having cabs are a pain in the rear for me. I have to dump them, generate the .rgu and make sure I get any xml entries as well. Raw info/files are much easier to work with :)

If you have registry entries you want to add, you can add them to a .rgu file in any of the OEM folders - so long as you have it checked in BuildOS for the package it's been added to. Just remember to keep an extra empty line after the last line in the .rgu file (but only one or it will error).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] guapinoy:
hey mattk_r how bout adding o2plus2.3 in your next build...i would think it's a useful tool for people to cook in their roms...just a suggestion :)

1. I can't get either of the startup animations to work, got any ideas?

The next couple are a little off topic I've searched to no avail, sorry.

2. How can I edit the image version name that shows up when you flash the nbh?

3. Do you know how to bypass some of the welcome prompts, email setup and such?

4. On the intial welcome date setup, is that editable can we set some default date and time?

I've attached a couple of OEMs for your trouble. One is another screen shot program Magic SS and the other is flashlight and super bright.

Well I am certainly learning slowly but surely but I need a little help if possible. I dumped black satin light and followed the steps of replacing the "OS.nb + XIP" OEM and SYS Folders. The problem is I keep getting errors when running build os such as a certain file etc... already exists? Just curious if someone has successfully done this and if so, if they could possibly lend a hand.

On a side note, very exciting actually customizing my own rom, adds a new twist , the only problem is my gf is starting to complain that I dont spend as much time with her :rolleyes: Anyway thanks for the kitchen!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TooSharp:
That happens when you mix kitchens and Dumps. You will have to find where the extra files are and decide which one you should keep and delete the other. No duplicates allowed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
i would be interested to know if you get this working!! Black Roms are hard to play with!! hope you get it working!!

Actaully it's a pretty simple fix:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] swtaltima:
Is there any known tool that searches for duplicates?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] guapinoy:
you can search the folder if you know what file it is...if not you can just build it till you can get an error. remember the build dumps sys first before oem and in alphabetical order by folder within those folders (i thinK) :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TooSharp:
I use windows explorer search. Select the main folder that has the SYS and OEM folder do a search for the duplicate name it should be listed in the error, and in BuildOS it shows you where it's currently building at.

I'm Slow at Typing,

It's these stupid big Claws! :rolleyes:

The way I do it:

I have all folders; OEM, TOOLS, SYS, ROM in one folder named "Pandora V3 Beta 3" (No Quotes)

I 'Right Click' on my "Pandora V3 Beta 3" folder.

In the 'Search' window, I type name of file that gives BuildOS the error.

I had this error with a duplicate file named:

mxipupdate_zzPIED_102.provxml which was in both the 'OEM\OEMVERSION' folder, and the 'OEM\PreConfig Custom Settings' folder

I was messing around with 'preautorun' and might have accidentally dropped in 2 folders - Don't know - Either way, That's how I found it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] swtaltima:
Did it, the build os is just a bit touch when it comes to adding some stuff. I will make notes of what makes it error and post in a while. I was able to get it to run through build os though!:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
thanks - I'll see if I can get an option built for this carrier. I still need to verify exactly which files are for AT&T in the PreAutoRun folder - so I can just make duplicates with the carrier specific stuff in each.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
here you go, this does exactly what you asked for so need for using crappy windows search etc etc

It basically compairs files and folders, its easy to use.

I'm still trying to figure out what file does the att tower time sync. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Crap. In addition to the startupanimationengine.dll missing, the .rgu for the HTC Startup Animation file needs to look like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]

"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\HTC.gif"

"WAVFile"="\\Windows\\Startup_sounds.wav"

"Enabled"=dword:1

"Volumn"=dword:00000032

The difference being that the enabled is by default 0.

You can after the fact change these in the registry, but if you want to re-cook it, add this in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Ok, I got it. :)

Few more things to check.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] guapinoy:
o2 plus is not a carrier tweak or reg...it's a tool that has Xbutton 1.5 functionality ( it has a drop down menu of current running apps in this same drop down menu you can rotate screen, restart, start bluetooth, and connect/disconnect gprs/3g, today screen launcher, sound profile switcher, battery, storage card and rom space meter...let me see if i can get some screen shots...it's o2 plus because i guess o2 developed it for their version of htc products
