you should be able to do whatever you need with the core pro kitchen it has all the tools for XIP extraction

Already using it

Cingular PDA GPRS settings is an easy job, just extract the xml and add a provxml file to a package. Might do that next.

:)

I can pretty much guarentee it's the comm manager installation. I had to create an initflashfiles to get button 3 to work (/Windows/AppButtons). What is strange is that everything else works. Still pondering this one :confused:

Hmmm.. Internet dialing. It's probably because the components are not there... Hmmmm....

@mattk_r

there is something in your PM hope you like!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Using this tool (many out there, this one's free and does a good job), extract the cab to a folder, then click on XML and grab the .rgu contents. Be wary of the format, as you have to delete any spaces between entries, such as "biteme" = dword : 00000001 should read "biteme"=dword:00000001.

Also, ensure that any path in this file (file system, not registry) is in this format: "\\Windows\\Startup" The second slash is required. Also, remove any references like %ce%\Windows, just change it to "\\Windows". You'll get the idea. If it ain't right, BuildOS will fail while creating the registry.

Move all the files into the top level in the folder you made, and remove all the extra crap like the inf file, and sometimes there's an xml file there too - note that you may need to convert to a provxml if the settings in it are required.

Use this site (verion 4) to get a new GUID. I'd suggest coping a .rgu and options.xml file from another package since the file has to originate a certain way - and only use notepad to edit.

Just follow the example in the other packages - you'll find just about every way to do things in there.

As far as more details on using the program, just play with it. It's pretty simple :)

Having problems creating a trinity rom. Not sure if I am missing something, but here is what I have done.

Took a trinity rom and used nbhtool to get the OS.nb. Copied this file into the ROM folder.

Used Core Pro to extract the XIP from the OS.nb. Used the hermes option when asked which device since there wasn't an option for trinity.

Took the RUU from a lvsw trinity rom and overwrote the existing hermes RUU

Selected the desired options and in BuildOS and hit the green play button. After that finished I ran the CreateRom batch file and followed the instructions to recreate the nbh with nbhtool. The ROM is then flashed to my device successfully but It will reset itself in an endless loop after showing the initial splash screen.

I've tried using both Official dopod sea wm6 rom and the PDAViet 3.00.07.09 with the same resulting from both with the device reseting itself after the first splash screen.

Any ideas on what this might be?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ratcom:
I'm having some real problems here too, I can build a rom using 6.5 or 5.5 and with different oem's but almost every time I come to my second reset (the one after my "setacoustics" as run) my phone runs like a dog taking almost 5 minutes to set off the splash screen. I've tried reflashing with a blank ext rom but still the same problem...... strange why most people are finding everything ok? maybe its just me as I do tend to tweak alot just before building ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
No, I'm afraid it's not only you. I spoke too soon when I said everything's ok. I just had a serious hangup, nothing worked anymore. Even a softreset hung at the first splash. After removing the battery and going to IPL I managed to restart again. But then lots of settings and programs were wrong of gone. I had the famous FILECHK files in my root as if my files were corrupted. After a new softreset my system never came back...

Now done a hardreset and try again once more. For now I keep my extended ROM hidden. See how it lasts...

(I use 5.5)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Techvir:
For me things seems to be running fine....

But following the first installation i had two hang ups and had to do soft reset twice... but after that every thing seems to be fine and running good and fast... i was using tnt rom for some time before this and it was very very fast,,,, i think this new one is based on tnt ,,,, it seems to be fast but not as much as the original one,,,, may be because i have cooked somethigs into the rom

Vibration

Does Anyone Know What The Problem With The Vibration, When I Choose Vibration The Phone Not Ring Or Vibrate
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
No different between the two - for the AT&T customization anyway. Can you check your network preferences? If it is set to auto, it may be sensing a much stronger network of another carrier. If so, try playing with the settings to find a balance.

Strange though, because nothing was changed (except a few dll's in the OEMDrivers folder) that could potentially effect that.

If you want to test a theory, try removing all of the folders in the OEMDrivers folder named xxx.dll and replace them with all of the corresponding folders from 6.1 and see if you still have the issue or if it resolves it. I'd be curious if one of them is carrier specific.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
make sure you have the latest 5.5 / 6.2 OEM, SYS, ROM, and kitchen tools. Verify that the comm manager vibe is checked. Press the comm manager button for a couple seconds and it should go into vibe mode. Press it again and it should turn the speaker / ringer back on.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Look for the exe in the Windows folder. If it runs from there, it's just needing the lnk file moved to programs or accessories. If it isn't there, make sure it was included in BuildOS selection. If it is there and won't run at all, it's a bigger issue...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
When I doubt the storage space is not correctly allocating, I'll uncheck everything but the base items - control panel and dialpad, and flash the phone. I'd estimate you'll get around 75 meg of storage space.

Office is pretty big though, but I wouldn't suspect it is using that much space. Reverify you have a new ROM download too.

I'll look into it tomorrow. I just got back :)

Big Storage Issues

In my observations of issues that have been popping up from the big storage OS.nb and my limited experience with it (though I've been using it for the last 3 days without any issues) is that I suspect that those users who are having issues are attempting to utilize the extended rom, and the file system crashes because that memory location is allocated to storage.

I'll look at updating the XIP folder tomorrow, but for now I'd suggest not touching the extended rom at all - even though it still shows up. It's possible that even attemping to brows it triggers the file system to "write" something to it - and overwriting something that may be already present per the storage usage. I don't pretend to be an expert on this, but observation tells me this is very possible.

Previously, we saw that u need to CID unlock to read/write the EXTENDED_ROM. Now, we saw a patched OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL

that bypass the CID Check, hence no need to SuperCID courtesy of OliPro.

Link: OliPro's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=297085

Maybe the same will come with the patched FLASHDRV.DLL in order

to make use of all the storage memory including those vacated by the

EXTENDED_ROM.

My testing on 3 days, have been the corruption of the Storage memory.

Before, I have the HardSPL7, but not SuperCID my Hermes.

This happens even after I deleted the OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL out of the ROM and deleted the device drivers EXT_FLASHDRV entries out of the Boot.rgu for the EXTENDED_ROM.

I donot know how to do the same for Boot.hv, but looking at the final registry on the devices, the EXT_FLASHDRV entries are not there, plus any reference to OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL.

question: Of the people who do not see the issues with the BigStorage ROM,

are their Hermes SuperCID ??

Used the POF SIM unlock and SuperCid tool ver.3A. Now SPL is 1.40-OliPro. Cannot upgrade to HardSPL7. No matter hard I tried, still stays at SPL 1.40 even with enforced SSPL.

Bepe maybe trying to tell us something. Maybe the FlashDRV is also prevented by accessing the space vacated by the Extended_ROM and hence didnot do the WRITE/verify causing corruption of data.

He recommeded patching the FlashDRV.dll as mentioned in his thread.

I tried extracting the XIP from the OS.nb rom he published, but still not able to get the results required.

For the timebeing, for me, I'll stick with the EXT_ROM with the folder unlock for Read/Write - either using SuperCID or patched OEM_Flashdrv.dll by Olipro.

Of the people that had the issues, in this link, there is reports that after syncing to the computer, the device went bellyup only time will tell.

Cheers..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
I think you have a point Math, saying that messing around with the extended ROM causes the problems. I did a hardreset yesterday and left the extended ROM alone (not visible). The last half a day it''s stabile, hopefully it stays that way. Awaiting further improvements, if I can help tot test...

Don't know exactly what you're asking, but my device is superCID and I also have problems when using the extended ROM. I even had textfiles getting binany content (although: it's inreadable), had FILECHKs in my root and lots of lockups.

As said, for now I'm leaving my extended alone till there's a solution, see how it behaves.

I used to have this problem with SPB products when I first flashed some of the original Black ROMS. Uninstalled the product, it went away.

I switched to lvsw ROMS at the time (and now schaps) neither of which had any problems.

UPDATE: still going strong... till now no issues whatsoever since I stopped adressing the extended ROM.

I've been using my device heavily today: bluetooth carkit, navigation with bluetooth GPS, bluetooth external phone with GPRS, lots of phonecalls, internet, Windows Live, installing and removing programs. Everything went smooth...

Hope it stays that way, then we problably know the cause. Solution would be to really block the extended memory (is it that simple?).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Confused Stu:
Not sure Ext_ROM access is the problem

My freezes weren't (obviously) down to the Extended ROM being accessed, as I've never accessed it or referenced it since moving to the large storage versions (tried both 6.2 and 5.5).

I've spent every free minute over the past four days re-flashing ROMs to try to narrow down the reason mine were freezing on boot-up. The usual problem was on the second boot (the one after the align screen and timezone set-up) when it would freeze on the green Windows logo splashscreen for 5 minutes or so and then not run at all properly. Generally, after several resets it MIGHT come up to speed, but only for a little while before freezing or needing a reset - which then caused it to freeze on Windows again. Mostly, it just ended up being Hard Reset or re-flashed by me as the ROM was unreliable.

I've flashed dozens of Pandora ROMs, gradually adding and removing bits to try to find the culprit, but I haven't found one consistent cause yet. It seemed to freeze at random when I entered GPRS details, Exchange Server details (mail2web), synced with the PC, installed any cab, etc. The only way to break the non-starting boot loop each time was to hard reset (once I tried booting, reset after 5 min, rebooting, reset after 10min, but gave up after 2 hours without a successful boot). I never made any reference or attempt to use the Ext_ROM as I believed it wasn't there anymore. I even stopped used HTCustom and AdvancedConfig in case they referenced it in the background without my knowledge. I even had an unstable ROM with only WMP, Arcsoft 4.2, a dialer and a Comm Manager installed that wouldn't get past the first boot up!

I've now re-installed the ROM, SYS and OEM folders from Pandora 6.0, copied some of the new OEM's that I use from 6.2 and installed my ROM - exactly as I wanted it configured with 6.2. It's been rock solid and I haven't had a single slow, let alone unsucessful, boot for 24 hours now.

I had similar (but not as extreme) unreliability issues with Dutty's ROMs built on Bepe's Large Storage .nb but didn't use these for long as I wanted to get Pandora working (got used to having the ROM just as I like it now! Matt - you've spoiled me!). It looks plain looks like the large capacity ROM isn't reliable yet. Just wish I knew what I was talking about to offer an opinion on why.

Still loving Pandora though! Great project, Matt, and VERY well executed! All I need now is a 3G dialer and I've got my perfect ROM. Just in time for me to get a Kaiser and start all over again....

I edited the base rom for 16 mb pp. Everything works awsome. Thanks a lot. A2DP no pauses at high quality. Internet sharing 700/800 kbps, highest I ever got. This is just great. The only thing is, in order to prevent hsdpa connection overhead, I would need to make the hsdpa connection permanent.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
Perhaps you're right and availablility of the extended ROM isn't the cause of problems. But in my case: since I kept my extended ROM locked I really have no issues anymore. I just softresetted 5 times in a row, every time it came up like it should. Had no freezes since yesterday afternoon.

Fingers crossed...

Actually this does not work with VC cooked into the ROM. I had to install another copy of VC over the one I cooked into the ROM, then I used the BT CAB, enabled it in th BT config, and I still had to manually edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand Path = "\Program Files\Voice Command\BTVoiceCommand.exe.

Contrary to popular belief, the only value you should have under A2DP settings key is jointstereo set to 1. I don't think the A2DP fix is ideal because it set the BitPool to 86. It works at more than 192 when I don't set the BitPool..
