You can add any properly formated OEM package, as long as if other selected packages do not have identical file names.

Any release I put out is geared towards total customization. Anything that is optional is selectable in BuildOS. That doesn't mean you can't tweak it further - just that the options in BuildOS are meant to make it really easy for beginner users.

Advanced guys are likely to rip their own ROM and compile it to their own taste. In most cases, they put packages into the oem folder, but remove the options.xml file so it is installed without having to check boxes (or changing false to true in the options.xml file).

Is there any way to make the 3.61 rom have big storage? I have a large app (~25megs) that I need but it doesn't work when installed on the storage card. So having the extra space really helps.

Ross
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
so far I haven't seen any difference between the 3.60 and 3.61 ROM folder - other than bepe edited 3.60 for big storage. If you need big storage, go with 3.60. Otherwise someone will need to ask bepe to edit 3.61.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] its right:
about the base rom (Rom folder on the kitchen), just contains: rom numbers, rom date, page pool, and OS number (5.2.xxxx).

i want to say no effect on performance or stability (if the page pool is the same).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
I am sure someone will have a PTT cab soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
So here is my first package, just drop the Dir into the OEM dir of this kitchen and let me know if it works guys!!!

UPDATE-

Its throwing an error when creating the registry gotta see if I can fix that 1 minute
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Instructions? Where?

@ Twist: I can see what you are trying to do now, and yes if done the way you are trying you can drop them in but the instructions you were given, i cant really make any sence of, here is my list of problems with the instructions:

"Grab rgu" ok, but what do you want me to do with it? save it in word?

What is this talkin about, what file or section of the CAB manager is this in?

does this mean literally mean, inside the extracted cab folder you are to remove all other folders?

Delete all the crap but you might have to leave it in if there are settings? most software has settings so does this mean we never have to delete it?

is my lack of understanding due to tiredness, it is 8am and i havent slept yet!!

can someone PLEASE make these instructions clearer
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
errr, if you can do this y have i been sat here trying to work it out?

the one person who can tell you (mattk_r) isnt really giving accurate details of wat to do so , considering we have not tryed before, im not surprised it aint working!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
Well I thought I had it but when I try to build it keeps throwing registy creation errors I will post my package - BUT IT DOES NOT WORK YET - maybe someone can tell me what im doing wrong ? I tried with // and / characters in the registry thought that was it but I guess not. I dunno what im doing wrong.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
3 Things:

1) These questions do not belong in this thread as they are not a bug in the kitchen, or a sugestion for the kitchen

2) You and me are getting nowhere

3) We are getting no help from this thread yet (due to time of day probably)

So i have started a new thread, specifically about the conversion of CABS to OEM for use with this kitchen, the link is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1370236#post1370236

hopefully we will get an answer!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
I have to disagree that this is off topic in this thread as it all pertains to making this kitchen bigger, better, and bolder. But I posted in your new thread as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
the point is adding OEM's is easy when you know how, and it doesnt cause errors when you do it right. this thread is for kitchen support, errors and bugs, what we want to do is none of the above, therefore off topic resulting in a new thread to keep this one clean for people with build problems, rom problems and bugs etc

there is nothing worse than trying to fix ur device, reading through what looks like a usefull thread, then u come to someone talkin about nothing for ages. its annoying
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
So i'm back at a consensus point and need your guys' help. v2.0 Beta 1 refresh still has a few bugs that are nearly wiped out, but, we have a new release...

Is keeping the Dopad base preferred over using the new AT&T rom? :confused:

I'm leaning towards the AT&T setup, just because the Dopad wasn't a clean extract and config - as seen by the difference between bepe's and the dopad (v1 vs v2). I'd rather see what your take is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] philjohn:
I think stick with the dopod one, as I don't know if the ATT one will have the front-camera enabled, plus it has PTT, which most people's hermes don't support.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
i agree, front cam is usefull and if people need PPT can they not install it after (i dont know wat it is, prob because i dont have it!!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
I dont really care what its based on, I would preferer the newest offical release OS from microsoft and whichever one we can strip the most stuff out and have the smallest BASE Image, the more modular this is the better for building.

I have 2 packages to add you can test them out matt but they appear to work fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
can someone please explain wat you need to do to do this

is me english bad or something?

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO CHANGE A CAB TO OEM, i will just keep asking till i get an answer
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
Benec you got MSN or anything ? everything to do it has been said, just the mutiple files part I cant figure out, and I even posted on the othe thread that YOU MADE, how I finally got it work ? so what r u missing ?

I vote for ATT.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
I forgot about that PTT button #5

issue.

I guess if we can keep the use of button #5 without it being locked to PTT (I don't use PTT) I would prefer ATT.

Not a big deal, though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
ok, mushy, but I'm going with the AT&T ;)

Dumping Windows.nb now, posted the radio on the first post, and hope to have something to geter soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I've dumped and completly stripped it's right ported rom. I'll post links for it into post #2. It has the same packages as 7.0 Final.

Please note I have not flashed it - but have only ensured that all of the packages will compile into a flashable ROM.

I'm also uploading 7.0 Final. All should be up in the next hour or so.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hma4:
Thanks for this great package :) I'm waiting for this :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] its right:
if you used another OEM Drivers, the device will not pass the second splash screen.

so make sure to use the same OEM Drivers with removing unnecessary files (like Camera, arcsoft mms,...etc).

great work bro.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
no worries there - I learned my lesson with the beam issue :)

It's all yours - thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] its right:
good, i just told you that to keep the good work you did here ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
First link posted.

If you use the AT&T PreConfig settings, I put the remove comm manager icon setting in there to run automatically.

Occasionally

it will reboot and give the slow startup performance. If you don't want it that way - just edit the file PP_Other_reg.xml and remove:

<!-- Remove Comm Manager icon from system tray -->

<characteristic type="Registry">

<characteristic type="HKLM\Services\WirelessMgr" translation="filesystem" >

<parm name="Keep" datatype="integer" value="0" />

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] leoiden:
what happen to your custom rom coming soon

did you chage your mind on sharing the custome roms that you make?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
nope - but I forgot (again) to remove my personal licensed software from the build so I didn't post the link when I uploaded the others. I removed the "uploading..." till I'm ready to post again.

I didn't think anyone actually used it :o

I was in a toss-up to post it in a new thread (like the AT&T WAP in my sig), but it's a lot of work to support one. I figure a small foot-note is more workable.

Should have one (or more) up by 12 noon PST.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ToniSC:
Hi,

I downloades the version 8 beta 1. Two question please, this ROM aku 0.7.0 has the bepe's modification for big storage? If the answer is no, is possible to apply the same procedure that bepe explains in another post?

Thanks a lot.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] f3nd3r:
This looks like such an awesome application.

I have two questions really. When i run CreateROM.bat, will it update the ROM to my SPV M3100, which is untouched and in a factory default state, or do i need to do anything with unlocking the CID etc before hand?

My second question is am i able to restore my factory WM5 Orange ROM once i have upgraded to a Kitchen ROM, using the ROM updater from the Orange website?

EDIT:

One more question. Do i get a standard HTC WM6 ROM if i build a rom with no options selected in BuildOS?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] :
Hi I'm interested in the big storage ROMs with melted Ext-ROM too. I am a real noob in hex-editing and i really don't know whats possible with pandora-kitchen, but i simply ask:

Is it possible to integrate an automatic process to get the Ext-ROM melted if using any ROM. This button (or bat-file) does the commands described by bebe.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
You have a choice: the safer way is to install OliPro's hardSPL which offers some safety against 'bricking' your phone; the other is to use the SSPL option on the ROM install program, which is less safe but doesn't involve altering your bootloader. Most people use OliPro's Hard SPL option.

Yes, just run the install file for the original ROM, it'll be fine. Don't be worried if it takes much longer to restore original than to install a 'cooked' ROM, that's usual.

Not really. There are unaltered WM6 ROMs out there - see the stickies in this forum for listings of them.

Happy flashing, chum.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] f3nd3r:
Thanks for being so helpful! :)

So even if i choose to use a modified bootloader, i can still one day run the original Orange ROM to downgrade without a problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
Arg...

I waited the whole day to start cooking with the new 8.0 rom kitchen and...

"Sorry, the free service is at full capacity. "

Could any1 be kind enough to have the new kitchen mirrored?

Thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
8.0 does not have the big storage edits to the OS.nb or the XIP contents. You may be able to use the ROM folder 3.60 with big storage, but that would be at your own risk. I don't imagine it would be a problem though.

I'm posting more links now, should have them posted shortly.

I've also posted my own build with 7.0 in post 1, should anyone with AT&T care to try it.

tried the beta8... killed phone. would not get past initial screen. tried it with about 6 different configs. Tried it even with default settings in the kitchen. Even tried it with deleting and not deleting the rgu files. Always got stuck in boot screen. only way to save phone was to install alt rom using forced bootloader method. phone is working fine now (using vp3g) ... downloading latest v7 of the kitchen to try that. Was really hoping the its' right v of the kicthen would have worked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Hmmmm.... It's Right mentioned that if the OEMDrivers is messed with it wouldn't work - and so I left it alone...

Hmmm.... what version did you use prior to trying 8? I wonder if using the big storage in 7.0 and then trying to flash this rom without rebuilding the extended rom would cause it?

Did you hard-reset after flashing?

Just thinking out loud.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Just noticed there is no .rgu in the OEMDrivers folder... Reverifying the source dump. Gimme a few...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Arrggg!!!! The rom was made without .rgu files. I'll need to get a new build from it's right first. Pulling links now - sorry guys. I'll ping it's right to get a full one.

Edit: Ping sent. Once I get it, it'll take about an hour to clean it up and post.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
I just noticed that my phone is not sending SMS's with 7.0 Final. Never had this problem before.

They are all just sitting in my outbox, not going anywhere. When using PocketCM, it complains that it cannot get a 'Handle' to the sms application.

Anyone else experience this?

I don't have my laptop with me so I cannot rebuild my ROM tonight, arggg!

Note to self: should have tested SMS immediately after flashing!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Is anything ever final? I should know that...

I just checked my phone and saw the sms I sent earler sitting in the outbox and send-receive greyed out.

I'm hard-resetting now, and hopefully will have some info on the issue shortly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
Thanks Matt, let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

And no, 1.7 decades in the software development and project management industry has tought me that there is no such thing as a 'final' version. LOL. We all keep on trying though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
Matt, once all packages for 7.1 have been updated, I can provide a 24/7 host if you want?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
very cool, thanks.

I'm developing a "test process" for new roms. I'm tired of letting bugs slip past, so I'll have a "check sheet" to do before posting anything. I'll post it in case anyone wants to use it to verify their own builds...

I'm working out this current issue, and am flashing like crazy as I work through it. No ETA, but hope for a breakthrough here shortly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
hard reset

did hard reset it a few times to no avail. also having outbox issue with 7. 7 is also having nasty reboot issues... sometimes it takes a good five minutes before coming up. I'm referring to 7 final.

keep up the great work matt!

J~
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
are you using the AT&T preconfig? Other than that, something might be trying to access the extended rom or the storage card.

Does anyone get the voice mail message, even if they don't have any? I don't want to get sidtracked with other issues if I'm seeing a network issue - not phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lokmeup:
I have had that issue in the past... either wait for it to go away (which it may not), or reset your voice mail account...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
did use ATT preconfig.

do have stuck voice mail icon, but, have had that in the past. Seems best way to get rid of it was to leave myself a voice mail then check/delete it... haven't messed with it this evening as the icon doesnt bother me that much and I figured I would be reflashing again tomorrow.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I think I'm loosing my mind here.

I've reverted back to the untouched OEM folders from both the 3.60 and 3.61 roms, but still can't get SMS to work, IE to connect, MMS to send, in addition to the voice mail prompt issue.

I'm flashing back to the full OEM 3.61 rom to see what I'm supposed to see - and get a reality check... If it is because of AT&T, you might hear me scream from here :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
As I mentioned before I have never had this problem with any of the pandora roms. Definitely worked with the previous Beta (on 3.61).

I am with Rogers in Toronto so I doubt it is an AT&T issue.

My IE connects fine but having the same issue with voicemail notify and sms (as mentioned before).

Using 7.0 with 3.61.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
the OE 3.61 works fine - and sending myself a voice mail (and subsequently deleting it) fixed that issue.

At least I know what it isn't - the carrier - like you suspected.

Back to the drawing board!

Edit: Replacing just the OEM core folders (OEMApps, OEMDrivers, etc) didn't fix it, but replacing the entire SYS and ROM folder as well did. Reverting to the original SYS and the issue came back. Changing the ROM folder had no effect. Looks like the SYS is the culprit... now to prove it...

SMS_Providers was missing... verifying now... flashing...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Got it going - finally.

I'll post the links in a couple minutes.

If anyone can please post to new mirrors, I would greatly appreciate it - and will add them to post 1.

As for its right beta version - he's getting me the missing .rgu files tomorrow. So hopefully by tomorrow afternoon I'll have it back up (and working this time :))

My next goal was to work with compression and better program isolation (such as divvying up the OEMApps folder).

When I was working with the Wizard rom, I was able to save a huge amount of space and speed it up noticably - and I know there's still a lot of fat in this one to whittle away. The only compressed files are the Office exe's.

Sync Problems

Hi all,

I search the thread for solutions to WMDC synching problems, but I couldn't find any. I'm using the 3.61 6MB PP ROM with the 7.0f sys and oem. After installation, I can syc to my PC once (and it takes a loooooong time) but when I disconnect it and reconnect it, my PC can't seem to detect my phone when I plug it in. Funny thing is, it detects it in bootloader mode. Help? :)
