Can anyone tell me what is to be in the OEM folder if ALL the packages arent there?

I love this kitchen, but i dnt like having to sort through the Buildos.exe looking for what i want to add.

Is it possible to get the OEM folder with no packages added so i can add only the packages i want? or even a list of the files that are in the OEM folder before the packages are added so i can remove them to somewhere else and add them as i like.

Thanks in advance

Maybe a nooB question, but how would I get that V2 onto my hermes?

I DLd it... and don't see any install anything... looks like I have to put it in the kitchen to get it to work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Yes, it'll need to be cooked in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
All the OEM/OEMxxx folders except OEM calc. (OEMApps, OEMDrivers, etc)

LangDB

OEM.cer

just put the folders you want into the OEM directory and remove the option.xml file. They'll install, and you don't have to select anything in buildos.

Well, with ROM 3.60 TomTom traffic doesn't work even after a reset by TomTom suppert. ALL others ROM's work fine, all ROMs based on the T-Mobile 3.60 don't. So I'm going back to 3.54...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
Now that I did not know - wow, will save me a lot of time :) I was under the impression that the option.xml was mandatory and I had been editing the value to 'true'.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
Since this one is fully configurable, can I suggest that the others be removed from the base? This version fixes many of the issues/bugs of the previous versions.

Anyone know if this is the 6tab that you can customize? I have been trying to make a package with the customizable htc home but cannot get it to work. I installs but does not load up and there is no option to turn it on. If this is not the customizable one ill keep working on it as I like to remove the weather tab since it wont work where I live.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
As I understand it, it is customizable. I noticed a bunch of settings in the .rgu, but I haven't tried to mess with it yet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
best way to customise it is to use the HTC Home Customiser (it is a separate app to install after cooking!!

Ext Rom

hi guys, im having trouble getting the extended rom to work. i selected the ""Enable extended rom install launch" and loaded the t-mobile ext rom from the test rom into the nbhtool and flashed to my device but it doesnt run.

any ideas

if not is it possible to run an extended rom once a rom is already installed?

thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
just tryed this, flashed ROM, in the home menu it says that the HTC home is enabled but it is not visable.

any clues?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Did you mean to remove the CONTENTS of the entire .rgu file? or delete the .rgu file from the stock dialpad?

I cooked a ROM without selecting a dialpad option. I got the windows default dialpad background, but no keypad .bmp's were mapped (white holes).

BTW, my original question was more related to the Today Screen background under 'Windows Default'. It is black in V5.4, although the top and bottom bars are the WM6 default color. I want to restore the default windows theme to the 'out of the box' look in 5.4 (get rid of the black background). Any help on this front?

Thanks, though, as my next goal was to restore the dialpad to the WM6 original look...I'll tackle both at the same time, lol.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
matt,

Is it possible to have the att pre-config settings add in a proxy folder? with cingular's default setup, you could change the proxy for PIE. Seems that you can't use PIE with wifi without disabling the proxy. I just flashed mine today (using 5.4) and found that PIE indeed does not work with WIFI but works great with the regular cell network connection.

just a suggestion.

I really don't like the file sharing sites so i made my own page to share my files. You can view them at http://www.phantisy.com/Mobile/

Page is awful but the files are there. Will sexy it up in my free time.

I will work on getting the customizable htc home finished up because this is the only one I really want to use. If someone beats me to it then THANKS in advance :D

UPDATE:

Looks like I really don't know what I am doing. I am having a hell of a time getting this to work. Just FYI :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
You could remove the entire .rgu, because they're entirely specific to the dialpad theme.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
sure can, I still have them from the original dump. Just add them in to the ProConfig.txt file, and ensure they files are somewhere in the build.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
lol, I did my own hosting for a while - exchange front and back end, IIS, and FTP using a DNS hosting company (zoneedit.com). Learned a lot, but it's sure as hell easier to have someone else do it :)

Yeah it is. I don't plan on doing anything great just something simple and easy.

Comm Manager Button Issue vibrate/ringer

I used to press and hold comm manager button and my device goes to vibrate mode if it is in ringer mode and vice a versa. With this this new 6.1 rom It is not working with me. What am I doing wrong.

Is it because of HTC new ringer profile tab?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
it may be because the file trayicon.exe (or something like that) wasn't included. Did you check phone pad vibrate? In that package is the exe. copy it to your windows folder,along with the mui and it should work. I fixed it for the next release.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Phantisy:
I cannot seem to find any information on creating a .dsm file and what the file is even for. I think it might be something needed to create the HTC Home with the tab settings.

Can any tell me how to add OEM packages to this kitchen?

Please??

I have packages already to go but when I add them to the folder , BuildOS doesn't run.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
than you created you pa wrong.

probably GUID's are duplicated someing like this!!

Hi, I´ve been messing around with both builds this last week on holiday and I have to say I have had better results and less issues with the 5.4 platform. Thanks for all your great work..;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
Matt,

FYI, I just read on 4winmobile that JJ is switching his next rom to the 3.6 base.

Also noticed the new skin for Windows Media Player that Boz converted to a cab at http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/he...black-x-beta-2-smash-trash-15.html#post139297 (check the post just above this one for the screenshots).

May be worth considering for the next version
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
buildos won't run if:

Duplicate GUID

option.xml file is not in unicode format

Every folder needs a different GUID numbered .dsm file. New packages can have an empty one, where extracted ones from a rom dump will sometimes contain data.

I have been trying to make the sdkcerts into a package but i am having no luck, i think it might be the answer to why the htc Kaiser Home v2.0 didnt work.

i tryed to install the htc Kaiser Home v2.0.cab to the rom after flashing and it said i didnt has permission so i installed the sdkcert.cab and installed Kaiser Home v2.0.cab and it worked, would you be able to do this? or is there something i can add to the sys or oem file that will just install the sdkcerts?

thanks

Actually, I now see that sdkcerts is already part of "SecurityOff", so forget what I said earlier. :o

btw, even though I cook it in I've found that I have to install the sdkcerts cab in order for certain things to work... your battery/3G icons is one of them. :confused:

Hi Math,

How is the word about the defiierent versions of Pandora: will you give any support and developement on the 5.4 version?

Anybody got a link for the version 5 beta 3 of this package as need to roll back from 6 to this one as it appears they have again changed the way the device generates it device id within Tomtom as it has changed from the previous rom. It is just too painful to get onto tomtom support again so will use the previous version if i can get a download for it again.

any help appreciated.

Thanks

I am using version 6.1 and on and off the device heats. I am not sure what causes it. My guess is that in places where there is no gsm/3g reception, it tries very hard to establish connection and it doesn't know when to quit. I don't think this problem was there with 6.0.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Very strange, guys. I am using 6.1 since last Thursday and managed to discharge my battery twice already. No signs of overheating or of a poor battery life.

My only issue is uncustomizable TodayAgenda, which works, but hangs the taskbar and OK button while being customized. In rest, this is a great ROM with no major issues so far.

Thanks Mattk_r! :) keep it up
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rgelfand:
I am guessing you have a mucn better reception than I have. Believe it or not and I live in US.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
The difference between 6.0 and 6.1 are minor - a few options were added for the today plugin colors, as well as some other simple changes. No OS / driver / system changes. There shouldn't be any different performance between the two.

The device heating issue is a strange one, and I wonder if there's some setting in the T-Mo extended rom or pheudo rom that restrains the craze battery draw. I'll dig deeper as I get time, but I'm thinking for stability and flexibility, 5.4 is the better choice (plus I like the startup animation :)).

zomig - 5.3 and 5.4 are identical less the extra today plugin colors and battery indicators that were added. If you want to change the rom version, check the file mxipupdate_zzPIED_100.provxml in /OEM/OEMVERSIONS. That's the only thing that may be different betweent two.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zomig:
strange as when i load 5.4 it starts up ok, gets to the today screen but just hangs on this, have to hard reset it again. Have no idea what i might be,i know this never happened with 5.3 so will give this a go and see if the error comes back. Cant see any difference between those files. Could be some newer version of an app i am selecting that is causing the issue. Not sure.

Thanks for your help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
with 5.4 I get a hang on softreset now and then. softresetting again (and again sometimes, and removig the sdcard) solves the problem. and had a SOD once.

never had this with previous versions (5.2 and earlier). perhaps a combination of installed programs, don't know...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I think they're also in /OEM/OEMAPPS. They came with bepe's kitchen, and for some reason I forgot they were already there and did a double insert since the default ringtone folder is under /SYS/redist.

Under /SYS/PhoneRedist_Lang_0409, you should ONLY have the following files:

70bf28xxx.dsm

busy.mid

phone.htm

Ring-Standard.wma

Ring-Vision.wma

Ring-WindowsMobile.wma

Remove everything else.

I'm gonna re-upload the kitchen without these files. Pulling the links till then :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AssassinsLament:
I suggest you wait for mattk_r to reupp it. Some of those files are set to invisible and so that's why you guys can't find them. Great job goes to mattk_r, get some rest you've worked too hard today.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
You can get any wma file rename it as the duplicate file and copy it into the OEM drivers folder, that will create the file to be visible, copy, paste and delete the old and the new file.

It's easy for me to forget that not everyone has "show hidden system files" set as well as "don't hide extensions for known file types". ;)

I also found some surprising differences in performance betweeen 5.3 and 5.4/6.0/6.1, although I suspect myself as the main cause...

It's very probably down to the combos of OEMs I've used but... 5.3 beta, in any (sensible) combination, always gave me either a fairly or very responsive unit. Loved it.

With 5.4, 6.0 and 6.1 I've found some bad-ish slowdowns and some which make the unit essentially non-functional (I mean taking sometimes minutes to recognise a tap or keypress).

I've found (last night) a combo on 6.1 which seems to have the full responsiveness of 5.3.

As said, the files included seem to indicate that none of this should happen. I would've posted my 'happy' combo for 6.1 last night but it was (due to my bloody-minded determination not to be defeated) very late at night and I'm at work so I can type without suspicion but not rifle through my phone.

Will post a better list of what went right later. What went wrong I couldn't and won't try to retrace as it was many flashes of diff combos. I still suspect that something about one of the MANY combinations I used was the problem, not the OS itself though. Sometimes these things just 'happen' with combinations of apps.

The one that setup that worked was very clean (apart from Resco Explorer which I've been running my own OEM of fine with any OS for a week or so and PIEPlus (reg'd with own number, naturellement) which was got from this thread but not active and I've established was not part of the problem...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
what about the battery indicators? Is that getting selected? I'd wonder how the system would respond without the phcanoverbmp.dll.

Trying to think about other differences. Maybe a particular battery indicator is bad? I'm using the updated white + color without issue.

I realy don't want to go 5.4. The 8mb page pool is awsome. Like nothing I have ever seen on this device. I thought 6mb page pool was great. This blows away everything.

I am not selecting to use any other battery apart from the default one. still freezes on reboot, sometimes dont even get to the today screen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Would that be the "Standard Battery Indicator"? Can you try a different one, like one of the updated ones?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I can upload a 8 meg page pool if you'd like :)

My only inibition to "going back" is that the issue is not understood - and could come back at any time during a future upgrade. I'm hoping to understand this problem and nip it early;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rgelfand:
Don't bother. I will try to make another rom with tmobile dialer and see what happens.

BTW, I have noticed that preconfig runs A2DPfix.cab. I find that removing samplerate, bitpool, and maxbitpool keys, produces an even better result.

Also, one or more of the registry updates or settings that run after a2dpfix.cab seem to be the cause for pauses when playing wma. I am going to further troubleshoot that.

Thanks,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
I'm with you on this, Matt. As we move forward, we will eventually HAVE to address the issue.

As such, I have attempted another round with 6.1, which, as I reported earlier, provided many headaches resulting from the slow down/non-responsive issue that others are seeing. Heeding Matt's caution, I cooked another ROM with 6.1, but this time did not include the registry tweaks to move email and attachments or My Documents to storage card (I did leave in the IE cache and history tweaks). This has apparently resolved my slowdown issue. In addition, I did not install the extended rom mount cab (I had done this after flashing before). This kept everything in main memory.

Testing this version of 6.1, it appears to be as fast as 5.4 with the same configuration. I think we might begin to suspect the issue is with pointing to extended rom and/or the storage card.

I will continue to test and indicate my findings...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Very nice!

I'll be interested in how it performs over time with batter drain and such. Do keep us posted. I'm "on the fence" as to waiting for the T-Mo release over trying to keep the test build going, but this news will keep me holding on a bit longer ;)

Good news!!!

I just added radio 1.51 in post one as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
FWIW-

I don't move ringtones to the storage card, but do move IE cache, and all the rest.

Also, I don't mount the extended ROM.

I've had no slowdown issues with 6.1 at all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Could poss be that battery icon was involved with some other optional apps in some way maybe.

Doing home improvements tonight so not had time for any more setups but did find replacing updated batt icon white with standard and replacing 1-calc with oem calc produced a more responsive hermes. (6.1)

Not much info there, soz but too knackered to try any alternative versions tonight... Zzzz...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
Matt, would it be possible for you to build multiple contact selection into this ROM? So that I can drag over lots of contacts and then delete them?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
when i had the issues with 6.1 it was not related to storage card. I NEVER put stuff there as i find that if the card ever has any read issues, the device will enter the sleep of death. I DID do the updated battery indicators with the 6.1 ROM though. I have since gone back to the 5 version of the ROM and I dont think I'm gonna look back....

@rgelfand: running a 16MB page pool freaking rocks! ... and, it's really not that hard to hex edit your existing ROM to be just about any page pool you want. Check here for details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=295932
