I'd be sure you've followed the directory structure as listed in post #2. If you're 100% sure the structure is perfect, it could be you are missing the VC++ runtimes. I've found that instaling Visual C++ Express Edition takes care of this issue. VC++ Link

i have one quick question to ask. If i dunt want to install some software from the OEM Pack v1.8, is that i can just delete the folders or wot??? Becasue i dunt want to install some of the software such as ClearVue PDF Viewer.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
If it doesn't have a tick next to it in the BuildOS program, then it won't be included in your build. You can tick or untick whatever you like.

If you wish to permanently change what gets included, change the option.xml file in each programs directory. Change the 'checked="true"' to 'checked="false"'. Relaunch BuildOS and you should see the tick has changed. If you want to enable something that is disabled, change false to true and relaunch buildos.

matt

is it possible to make the default today theme the, the black one from the naked rom kitchen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
My naked rom's default theme is made by assigning color values in the registry. it looks great, but it gets overwriten the first time the theme is changed and can't be returned until a reflash/hard reset.

It would be easy enough to add an option to set these color options in the kitchen, but I still need to identify where the 'windows default' settings are stored and thus making changes to the defaults so they can return if the theme is changed.

I believe I know where to look, and will try to get something posted soon :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] knightcapain:
thanks for the quick reply, i was thinking it might have been in a provxml

Thanks for the Updates Matt.

There seems to be something weird about file size with OEM Pack 1.8a.rar

It downloaded at a size of 45mb

after I unzip it, it is only 38mb

If I then zip it back up (.zip with TUGZip), it is only 20mb.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
that does sound strange... I'll check my source files and see what's going on. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
What program are you using to extract the RAR file? It will need to support long filenames... Try using WinRAR to extract it and see if it has any better results.

Or wait ~15 minutes for me to re-update it to the pandora mirrors and download it again from there.

Edit: Sorry Matt, I didn't realise you'd put 1.8a on the first page - I still have only 1.8 on the mirrors. ETA 11 minutes :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Actually it may be an issue with my download.

Sorry, the issue is most likely on my end.

It must of not downloaded correctly.

Hi,

I baught a HTC touch a week back. Looking at this thread I'm feeling I should flash this ROM on my phone.

Burning a customized ROM on my phone is very exciting for me but I'm all new for windows based phone.

Could some one help me if I can flash my ROM with kitchen rom in this thread?

Having USB connection is sufficient or any pointer to steps for burning this rom?

Thanks you so much in advance.

-Anand.

In advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Judging from what you have written, I really suggest that you read more of the documentation to know exactly what you are doing. This thread isn't about a ROM, a kitchen allows you to create a ROM, but you need to have an idea on what you're doing. All the info is in this thread and the wiki. Read more.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
To flash your Touch, you'll need a kitchen and ROM from that device to play with. While many of the packages here will work on that phone, you'll need a suitable "base" to work from.

The current base here is a heavily sliced and diced version of the AT&T 8525 release, reworked by Austinsync and myself. While not impossible to do, it takes a bit of time to get through the learning curve on where everything is at, and what is / isn't important to keep.

Might check in that forum, but feel free to use what you want from here :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Glad it's working for you :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AximMarkSD:
it took me a while to get it right too. make sure you have the right stuff in the right directories. you need an OEM a SYS and a ROM subdirectory in kitchen directory. it's in the instructions somewhere but it wasn't entirely clear to me. anyway, once things are where they should be it works like a dream.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:

Or you have to deal with 3.60+
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] allan1:
just copy them into your My Docs folder or create a folder there and then select the one you want.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] allan1:
it might be that you added a package that upset BuildOS. If not, do it all again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BaggyG:
Very Cool!

A couple of issues:

When selecting any "Home Icons" and "Today Home Plugin" get an error that files already exists ("the file '\temp\dump\HH_FW_iconhome.png' already exists")

'G' &'H' icons at the top don'd display properly. The signal meter does not discplay the little 'G' or 'H' and the big '3G' and 'H' icon shows the small arrows all the time.

Can't wait for the next update with more goodies! :D

Baggy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks for the info. To get around that error for now, just do a search in the kitchen for the file name and delete the one you don't plan on using.

As for the network icon, did you install a dialpad after flashing? If not, if you press the end key for 5 seconds, does it go to the 'big 3G' icon?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BaggyG:
Thanks Matt.

The 'G' icon seemed to fix itself when I rebuilt the ROM and reflashed (before I read you response).

With the Home Icon issue, I copied all the files from the Vista-6 directory to the dump directory after I had built the os (with... uh... BuildOS... :P).

Strangely enough, I couldn't install/use GoodLink with that OS. I got the dreaded haning issue.

I'm flashing another ROM that I built without playing with the icon files and see if it was that that broke GL.

Will report back.

Baggy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Not sure about that program, never tried it. Does it need .NET FX 2.0 /3.5?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BaggyG:
Kinda strange.

I rebuilt the ROM without moving the home icons. I selected HTC Today - toosharp but didn't select any Home Icons. The build proceeded okay.

Goodlink works now. Wierd!

But the 'G' and 'H' icons are stuffed again. It's only an asthetic thing tho. This time I've attached a screenie so you can see what I'm talking about. Normally there will be a small 'H' or 'G' above the signal meter and the small arrows will only display when the device is trying to connect and not stay on all the time.

Also... I it possible to save the selection from BuildOS. It would be good if you could experiment by saving the various selections and then finding the ones that work the best.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Which battery choice are you selecting? I typically use the updated with color one myself.

As for saving selections - currently you'd need to go into each package and change the option.xml file from false to true (or visa-versa) to set your selections.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BaggyG:
Bugger! Now Activesync doesn't work. :-(

It doesn't connect. And if I go to AS on the device, I get a page that says "to syncronize your device with a desktop comuter..." install the software on your pc... blah, blah!

On the PC it tries to connect and then I get an error asking if I want to run the trouble shooter.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
random connection issues are normal. sometimes a device reset - sometimes a computer reset.

In my opinion, it's a deficiency of USB / Windows...

Inside the OEM folder are three voice dialer folders: Voice Speed Dial, Cyberon Voice Commander and VoiceCommand 1.6 US. I have a license for MS Voice Command 1.6, but tried to cook it in with the Pandora Kitchen, but it doesn't work. My real question is why is there a subfolder Cyberon Voice Commander under the VoiceCommand 1.6 US folder? They are separate programs(?) Is this why cooking it in doesn't work for me?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:

PTT FindWindowFailed?

I built a ROM from the latest OEM and ROM updates (11.1 and 18b) with my usual selections. After the upload and a reboot following the Ext rom configs a dialog popped up reading "PTT FindWindowFailed". After closing it another dialog popped up reading "PTT Unregister Class Failed". It appears that the PTT function was not disabled (I selected it to be) as clicking the button produces a dialog reading "The file 'Voice' cannot be opened..."

Is there a bug in the new versions somewhere?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Wouldn't expect there to be, since those components have not been touched in a long time.

The only possibility I can think of is that I uploaded a test version that has compression. Can you right click the keybddr.dll file in PTT Disable and let me know the size?

Has anyone else seen this?

Edit: Thinking about this - I only messed around with compression on the Naked kitchen, not this one - so the OEM/SYS hasn't been changed at all... hmmmm....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ePh432:
What made me puzzled was the content of OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL has no DLLs but image files:confused: --> S000, S001, S002, S003, S004...

When you run CreateRom.bat, it calls the tools that will compile the new image, and these decompiled modules will be rebuilt.

The folder OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL should be unzipped and placed in the OEM/OEMDrivers folder with the other folders of similiar nature.

In your last Pandora Kitchen have something where missing or changed.

The last one i found working is in Pandora_5_Kitchen.

The RUUWrapper.exe not detect the SPL [Autodetect Buton].

So you changes something that causes these errors.

I am seeking what might have been but has not found anything.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:

How do you mean Advance Config isn't working? Is there anything specific that doesn't work for you? I've got a Pandora-made ROM with advanced config cooked in that is working fine. It says Version 1.0 - it is the version included in the OEM packages.

Hi Matt,

Yes the plain vanilla rom works with default apps chosen.

But the whole point of using the Pandora is to have pre-installed working apps.... to alleviate the pain of device rebuilts.

If after choosing the apps in your kitchen and it doesn't work.... then i guess it defeats the purpose of your hardwork? :P
