Here's the OTA Sync Animation as a Cab

If anyone wants it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
What does it do? I had this as a package, but it didn't appear to do anything.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Don't be too sure about that matt

The sync animation has always worked for me. I will test the 5.3 version when I sync contacts with my work PC tomorrow, however, the animation worked in the other releases of the kitchen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
So, I've discovered if I kill the phone, like completely drain the battery... the only way to bring it back is a hard reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
It does nothing more than make the arrows rotate when syncing OTA (Over the Air)

Or in other words; when syncing with an Exchange Server.

Why might someone like this?

Well for me, I turn off 3G for battery life. Which means no simultaneous data & voice.

So if I am about to make a phone call and I see the arrows rotating, I know my phone is syncing with the Exchange Server, and so I may choose to wait until the sync is done before I make my call.

Another benefit is the minute an email begins to Push, I know it.

Like right now, as I type this post, my arrows are just straight, pointing opposite directions.

Now if they start to rotate, I know an email is coming. Normally I wouldn't know until after the pop up says I have new mail.

Nothing big, I just like it, that's all.

And thought that others may also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Yea, I think the arrows have always rotated when syncing with our Laptop/Desktop.

But this regedit enables the rotating arrows when syncing with an Exchange Server.

If matt chooses to include it again, he may want to rename it to something like; 'OTA Sync Animation' or 'Exchange Server Sync Animation'
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
So 1 thing I really dont like and I havent tried 5.2 or 5.3 yet, but the MMS and SMS are seperated again so when I click the email icon on the HTC home it takes me to teh MMS folder instead of the email folder. Is there a reason the MMS and SMS were seperated ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TooSharp:
Different version of MMS. MMS 4.0 has them together, but that version was giving problems so Matt put 3.5 back in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you want to try it, in post 2 there is an OEM build with 4.2 AND 3.5. Still in early Beta though... I need feedback on each package to know it works well.

I'll put Sync Animation back in as well :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pronor:
Hi Matt,

would be cool if you soon release a new version of Pandora Kitchen with the new t-mobile Build 18125.0.4.2 - I´ve installed it and it´s pretty fast - would be nice to be able to change it with your kitchen.

pronor
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
lol, I tried to dowload it and it said I had to wait 4 hours...

I'll take a peek at it later tonight...

And I thought I was going to get a break for a while... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
i switched the oem packages out to use the one with 4.2 in it. I can send and receive txt/mms no problme... but, now the comm-vibrate switch doesnt seem to work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Michael127:
dam right.

Thats the one I would use.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Hmm, depending on how much you want to 'fiddle' with your own ROM, you can already.

Core Kitchen is a DIY jobbie. Take the starting ROM, break it up into components such as you see matt doing for us here, add in OEM apps, use buildos as you are familiar with, etc.

It's much trickier building your own than letting matt do all the work of course, but if you don't want to monkey with the inner workings of the OS itself, if you just want to remove some non-essentials from the original and perhaps even add in some of matt's packages, you can definitely do that.

Matt mentioned in first post that this may well be his last OS, so we may just have to do it for ourselves. It's not too bad though, I've done it a few times. Matt's the man for making the best OS he can and then giving it out in such an 'open' way for us to mess with.

Again, I'm only referring to messing with OEM packages. The only other thing I did was take the file explorer from black satin and pop it in here. (Well, v4 Pandora. Haven't done it on this one.) Mucking about with drivers etc is only for me on desktop PCs. And there I just mean installing them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'm downloading the new build now. Gimme a couple few hours and I'll post the base.

I can't maintain two different setups though. So if the 3.60 works "better", I'll roll the rev to 6 and cut the 3.57 out.

The OEM packages have come along so well, that I think this will be a slam-dunk. I say that now, we'll see once it goes into practice... :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
hey matt this build is super fast, fastest rom i seen so far:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Matt:

Found one small bug that I fixed (attached). The reg settings for "change location of e-mail and attachments to storage card" are from WM5, I believe.

I corrected these to the proper entries, and zipped the entire folder to be inserted in the OEM folder of the kitchen. It is confirmed working.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
What matt is about to do for you t-mobile guys is actaully pretty huge.

I have done this with a few different Roms, and it can be tedious.

I then use them with Pandora.

I would like to recommend to others who have wanted to learn how to cook, to take another look at Core Kitchen. I know some have bad mouthed it, but I think the issues that ones have had, was the particular Rom they tried to use the Core Kit with.

I would like to suggest to those interested, to go download Schaps Latest lite. If you remember, matt used schaps as a base in an earlier Pandora Release.

Schaps Roms; Dump, Extract, and Package so perfect.

And then after you get comfortable with the whole process, the options open, and now you can build a base to use with Pandora with pretty much any release, Official or Custom.

But as matt said: "I can't maintain two different setups though."

So it would work contrary to Pandoras progress if one was to post perceived issues, when the issue may not be Pandora but the base you choose.

I have learned, and became very comfortable with the tools available here at xda-developers, and I owe a big thanks to matt. Because it was Pandora that really motivated me to learn. Prolly because it was the first Kitchen that actaully worked for me.

Oh, and I didn't have to start any new threads or Pm anyone for help.

I'm not bragging about myself, I'm bragging about the info here at xda-developers. It's all here. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
This is a question I KNOW is answerd in the forum probably 50 times over but I am going to ask anyway as I think i am about 2 seconds from bricking my phone.

With this kitchen, can you extract a windows.nb file using tools like tadzios, and then just drop that file into the ROM director in place of os.nb? or... is that the best way to creat a little brick and mortar?

I ask becasue I'm curious about taking a ROM like the dopod lite one that's out and using it as the base for the kitchen.

Please flame gently.

J~
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
nice thing about this build is it already has MMS 4.0 in it. Already one step ahead :)

Debugging the build now - duplicate dialer & symbol pad files, etc. No biggie.

Every time I get a ROM, I rip and strip it in the Core kitchen. While it takes a little getting used to, it's very powerful.

I'll see if I can add in both AT&T and T-MO UK preconfig setups...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ratcom:
I coudnt have said any better myself! I use core kitchen to strip any rom I like and then Pandora to rebuild to my spec ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Just a note to anyone thinking of using their own dump:

In any given folder, you may notice a sub folder named (for example) keybddr.dll. This folder contains the decompiled contents of the dll.

IN ADDITION, it also has the COMPILED file (keybddr.dll).

DELETE the

COMPILED

file

ONLY

This will free up a huge amount of space on your phone.

Just a reminder... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks shadee, I'll add it in!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Amazingly, it works. I'll update post 1 shortly with links. It also has a test version of the T-MO UK PreConfig settings (mms & wap) and a new dialer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
Hey, um I checked the preload ATT settings, but my slide out keyboard doesn't work right. Its like the shift key is on all the time. I tried loading the 8525 settings cab on it, but it still does the same thing, no change.

In post 2 I added a like for 6.1 that includes three different ArcSoft MMS versions - 3.5, 4.0, and 4.2. Please feel free to thrash away... :)

Yep, this has the fixed email storage card issue - I'll update post 1. thanks!

If you're curious though, its there for your perusal.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
I can confirm that the comm button vibrate does not work with 6.0.

I also notived something wierd - I installed with the 10 button comm manager (and confirmed it was the correct one) but a while later, it reverted back to 9 buttons. Not sure how it happened but I suspect that Advanced config had something to do with it. I always use it to remove the (now redundant) battery and comm manager icons at the bottom of the screen. Will look into it when I get a chance later.

Just a thought: Could the removal of these two icons be added to the registry tweaks section of BuildOS?

Comm Manager Vibe Issue

Okay, I know what it is. You need to also enable Phone Pad Vibrate. The exe is in there.

Are you running 6.xx?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
I would prefer them directly in the build as well as that is so much easier. It is the only thing I use advanced config for.

How would one go about adding the removal of the two icons to BuildOS? Feel free to tell me to 'read the forum' is this is a repeat question
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Are you referring to the comm manager and battery icon on the bottom of the screen?

If so, the only way I would know is to figure out what AC is changing, and force that change in a .rgu (assuming it's a reg setting) or manipulating a file location or whatever is necessary.

First step is to understand what is getting changed. Making buildos do it is the easy part :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
To remove the bottom icons for comm manager and battery:

Remove the Battery Icon:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]

Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:

"Keep"=dword:00000000

One more thing I have noticed:

Installing the Palm SMS Threader Application (both the older and the newer versions) 'kills' the phone with 6.1.

On SR, the phone takes several minutes to get to the Today Screen and is extremely sluggish in responding to input (e.g 30 seconds to display start menu).

Only way to fix it is to HR

This is probably not the proper thread to ask this but it is related:

I have been seaching the forums for the registry settings to do the following basic tasks I set every time I flash a new rom. I would like to create these as .RGU's and include in the BuildOS process:

1) Enable Cleartype

2) Set Left soft button to 'New SMS"

3) Do not show SIM contacts

4) Disable Sounds for System Events

Additionally, I would like to add my own .TSK file and select it as the default theme

Could someone point me at where I would find these registry settings or guidance on how to do the above?

I have been searching but have not had much luck.

EDIT: I found a .lnk file in the following post that adds the 'New SMS' functionality when copied to the Start Menu Programs and then assigned to the left soft button. (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1266956&postcount=15).

yes I was using 6.xx to use mms 4.2, along with showing the ce wrong streaming media also doesn't work properly saying its unsigned or a component is missing with a very barebones setup. So Im assuming that may be due to a dependency on wmp or something else.

Well, I've spent the whole day with this ROM. I installed the palm SMS threader (using shogun's cab) and it has worked perfectly fine. I dont know what the incompatibility is. I'm using 6.1. I have noticed an extra second from pressing the power button to actually seeing the screen light up. I blamed the Today agenda as I am new to this program and it shows a "building" screen every so often that includes a percentage counter.

now, for the bad new with this rom. I feel that it's nice and fast. Seems every bit as fast as the one based on the ATT ROM (guess it was ATT, it was just pre-t-mobile). I dont feel that it's particularly faster or slower than the previous build. But, it DEFINITLY gets a lot hotter. I was on the phone using bluetooth, after about a 20 min phone call, the phone was hot to the touch. This was NOT the case with the older build. On top of this, the battery freaking sucked. I had to top it off at about 5:00. Battery was at 100% when i took it off. Now, its' 11:00 and the phone just shut off due to a "very low main battery".... that's not good at all. Previous build would let me go two days... just barely, but DEFINITLY longer than the 6 hours I got with this one.

My build was pretty plain and simple. This is what my build consisted of: transcriber

oe games

office 2007

internet sharing

windows media player

disable ptt

disconnect gprs

disable security warning

busy status in calendar

show slid-out capsdoct

not so black board

windows live

10 button with 3g

comm manager vibrate

stock dialer

pre-autorun ATT

wm6 sounds

white-color batt icons

cabbed:

Streaming media

SMS Threader

Today Agenda (newer build out than waht's in kitchen)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
do you run large programs, or lots of stuff at once? If so, go with the bigger number. If you run a lean phone and want it fast, go with the lower number.

I run 6, just to balance it out. I run stuff like Pocket Streets and TOPO! mapping software, and it works fine.
