Sure, it is actually not that hard, but you need some things to do before.

First, on an already existing and running OS, insert all of the data you need into the Owner Information fields and restart your device. Now, go to the [HKCU/ControlPanel/Owner] and there you will see all of the fields you just filled in.

The E-mail, Name, Notes and Telephone fields are regular string fields and these you can enter manually into the .rgu file.

The important ones are the Owner and Owner Notes that are written in HEX mode. I am not a computer geek or programmer, so what I did is just copied and pasted the data of these two values into a text file using WordMobile.

When you build your *.rgu you should have something like:

[HKEY_Current_User\ControlPanel\Owner]

"E-mail"="bla@bla.com"

"Name"="XDA"

"Notes"="whatever you have written but all in one line (no paragraphs)"

"Owner"=hex:00,56,5A,...,00,00

"Owner Notes"=hex:00,56,5A,...,00,00

"Telephone"="373 77 77 77 77"

I forgot to mention the hex data you copied will be in the form of "00 00 00 00", all you need to do is to replace the spaces with a comma, like "00,00,00,00", but no comma at the end of the line.

Cheers!

anyone tried WM5torage 1.75 in 5.1? The program runs fine on the phone but when i connect it to my PC, USB Mass Storage Device - This device cannot start. (Code 10). Do we need some special drivers?

UPDATE:

REMEMBER TO DISABLE "ENABLE advanced network functionality" in START>SETTING>CONNECTION>USB to PC.

after that do a sfot-reset. then it will work!

1-calc shows up again in this kitchen... that seems kind of weird. Did you add it back or will it NOT install anything if i select it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
It installs 1-Calc for sure, and works just fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Just a quick post, I'm off doing work stuff for once...

1-Calc wasn't supposed to go up... I must have accidently left it in.

5.2 is still on hold pending the Beam fix. I should have some time this afternoon to look into it again.

Sorry for the confusion.

here's something interesting.

With the 6-button kasier home screen plugin, windows media player, the htc audio manager 1.02, when I hit the music note, and tell it to start the music player, the phone goes into a soft-reset loop. This is before I load any of my other programs on the phone.

Also, I was wondering if there was a way that the build OS.exe could be made to remember the last build... so that we could just uncheck or recheck whatever we've decided to add or leave out... as opposed to checking a hunnert things each time?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TooSharp:
You can go into the OEM folder, find the package you want defaulted on, open the Option.xml set it from false to true, and it will be checked on next time.

I for one would prefer if you left 1-Calc as an option. I always installed it anyway and would rather have it cooked in and leave out the OE calc if the option was there. That is, assuming it didn't cause any problems elsewhere.

Also - any chance that the Palm Threaded SMS can be cooked in as an option?

Thanks,

Well I made a rom today using the kitchen and now my phone wont run any performance tweak with any rom i.e. tweak, shaps, or pimp my black. I do not blame anyone especially the genius that put this kitchen together, afterall **** happens...right.

Anyway, if anyone has a clue what could have caused this and how to fix if possible it would be really appreciated. Thanks

Hi there,

Can one use any of these Kitchen's Esp this one to flash a HTC Touch?? Im fairly new to flashing and curious if i can use this on my HTC Touch..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Probs sounds a bit obvious but I'd firstly recommend that you rebuild the ROM you made mate. Sometimes I get funny stuff like that which seems to clear (often anyway) if I redo it from scratch.

One thing I have found, and can't explain as the builds on the 2 PCs are almost identical (as I take care of the office IT), is that at home I can build using Pandora no matter where I place the kitchen folder I'm building in, whereas at work it ony works properly if I put it all on the C: drive root.

Baffles me although I know a reasonable amount about PCs and desktop Windows.

If the rebuild does the same, post again mate. (Unless someone finds a more definitive answer for you before then).

How to keep contact Calender and call log setting

Hi,

First of all million thanks to all of you for creating such a Kitchen.:)

Any guru can please tell before flashing my rom I to backup my Contact, calender, call logs and few others setting. Basically I have created one OEM package which I add during build which does few software instralled and some registry setting but I want to add contact, calender etc to my OEM package so that when my flash completes, I have everything I needed without doing any thing more.

Do you guys knows where contact are saved?

I created rgu file for my owner information IJust for Name and email setting) but after flash it is not working rest registry keys in that rgu file gets loaded.

Thanks in advance.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Just pop any package you want into this (or any other 'easy method' kitchen like Core) kitchen and it will show in your options.

If you edit the xml file afterward (i.e. once you've added, removed or edited any OEM packages) you'll be fine matey as it will keep your 'default options'.

If I've misunderstood your Q then ignore this mate. I'm no expert, I just flash a lot. (It's okay, the cops and I have an understanding.)

By the way, all your thanks go to matt. I know he's collated a lot of other people's tools (oo-er missus, etc) but he's the chap who went to the effort (time and again) to make us a kitchen that even I could use. And I drink a lot.

something was lost from 5 to the latest.... my comm button vibe doesnt work anymore, and the activesync has taken on some kind of freak issue. on first and second and maybe even third sync, it works no problem. But, on the fourth, it wont connect anymore. I have to reset the phone while its plugged into the computer. weird thing is, it will sync via BT no problem. Something a little quirky manifested itself with this one...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
If this is a general problem (i.e. others are experiencing it) it is quite possibly related to the same problem causing the beam issue with this version - I remember from the Schaps 3.57 beta that the two were somehow related.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
I sure hope Matt gets it worked out. the "thin" ROMS i have made with this kitchen have been the fastest ones by far.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] slimshadee:
Matt:

I know you are still searching for a fix to the beam issue, but, in the meantime, could you post the revised folders in the kitchen that fix the above issues (kind of a 5.1A release). I can live with the beam problem (and I suspect many others as well), but the PTT and other fixes listed above are biggies.

I have tried adding the reg entry to the rgu in the PTT disable folder in 5.1, but it fials to compile in BuildOS. If I can have your revised files/folders, it will help me learn what I am doing wrong.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'll post the fixes up to now, not including the beam issue. I've been sick for a couple days, and haven't gotten a chance to really address the issue.

I'll update post 1, should be in the next few minutes.

You need to put the HEX data for the NAME field as well. If it is missing, the name won't appear even so the information is in the registry. I tried it and it proved to be true and working.

By the way, see my message above how better to do that.

Cheers!

Thanks for all your great work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] swtaltima:
OK now I am starting to get frustrated. I downloaded the new 5.1A and built a rom but the error still shows on "advanced configuration" WTF. I of course am not upset at anyone, as I would have to be an ungrateful peace of ****e but I do need some help.

At least tell me Im not alone with this issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Please verify that the following is set:

The solution is adding a registry key:

HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCHome with value "Tabsetting" = dword:1 (or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
No you're not alone, I've the same problem (not using the HTC home plugin).

Strange, in the previous version this problem was solved adding a registry key

HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCHome with value Tabsetting = dword:1. So Math added this entry in the registry.

But in this version it doesn't seem to work anymore... Is it still the same Advanced config program???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
same program...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
Hi Math (hope you get better!),

Thanx for the new 5.1A.

I noticed that in this version the cache values still don't match the values from other ROMs.

You set the Glyphcache value (HKLM/System/GDI/GLYPHCACHE/Limit) to hex:16384 (dec:91012) while in others this is hex:8000 (dec:32768).

You set the FATFS value (HKLM/System/Storagemanager/FATFS/Cachesize) to hex:4096 (dec:16534), others: hex:2000 (dec:8192).

The same for the fsreplxfilt value (HKLM/System/Storagemanager/Filters/fsreplxfilt/ReplStoreCacheSize).

No problem, I can change it myself, maybe for next version?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
As said: you added this entry in this version already but that doesn't work anymore.

I tried version 0.9 and this version always worked before, but now it doesn't work either.

Now, I noticed I have an other Communication manager installed apparently (10 button black, but NOT with HCT look), maybe that's the problem???

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
yeah, I wanted to get over and grab them, but this Beam issue is taking a bit longer than anticipated.

Basically, here's the scoop:

In order for PTT to work, you need a specific version of the file Keybddr.dll.

However, if you use this version with the Slueth's PTT Fix, it inhibits Notes Record function from working via Button 5, and you get two warning messages on reset / reboot.

So, does anyone know of the recent HTC OS that doesn't have PTT? Would that be the TyTn or Dopod? If I can get the keybddr.dll, it may resolve this issue...

I delete all themes but Wm_black2 from Base_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320 in the SYS and add a couple of small files (at&t themes quite a biggy!).

As long as I leave the theme it runs from first boot, Wm_black2.tsk, it never complains. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
I also replace the keyboard with this one from Black which is similar size but (to me) much more pleasant - not so dark.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
thanks for the info, but if it is that easy surely it would be possible to have themes as packages? and keyboard skins.

if i am understanding what you say correctly, the ROM will apply the theme from "Base_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320"

if there is only one theme in this folder then it will use that as the Default theme. So surely if the SYS\Base_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320 has no themes in it, and there was a selection of themes & keyboard skins in the buildos.exe

I just think that if there is ALREADY 2 different keyboard skins available in the kitchen, whats wrong with doing the same with the actual phone theme? i have some really nice ones and i would like to offer them up for cooking but i cant coz of this "how do i package it" issue!!

is it possible to make a package that does this? and if so how?

thanks

bennec83
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Almost. It wants to apply Wm_black.tsk on first boot and I find it gets slightly confused if I remove that (so I leave it, it's only small anyway). The others in that folder, green, guava bubbles and at&t are just extras that get installed as well. Those I ditch and replace with 2 of my own. The package "Base_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320" takes my replacement themes across happily enough. All I've done is take the lazy way and not create any packages.

Should be quite possible.

This is the guide I was reading a bit earlier today, funnily enough - decide to start making some of my own packages for software I've bought and always use, e.g. Resco, Pocket Mechanic:

http://wiki.ppcgeeks.com/index.php?title=Kitchen
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
I have read that guide, it is probably the best for learning how to create packages. I know how to make packages, but i am unsure of what i would need to include:

1) does it need reg entries? (dont think it does)

2) if it does what

3) if no reg entries what do i do, is it through an initflashfile (never created a package without reg entries!!)

4) how do i define where i want the *.tsk in the package to go, i.e. the "SYS\Base_Lang_0409_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320" folder

thanks again
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
I don't think I'm ahead of you on package-making as been looking at it and watching footie simultaneously. When Liverpool come on away to Villa at 17.15 I'm downing tools for that. Later on, when I've got my progs sorted, I'll be looking at themes too (trying to make my own Definitive UltimateUber-ROM). I suspect you'll have worked this out before me.

If you haven't posted anything by the time I work it out tonight I'll post, but I'll try to find a 'creating packages' thread to tack it onto and post a link (unless matt doesn't mind us going into packages a little more on here.)

All I can think of so far is

1) not unless you want more than to have them sat there

2) if you want to have a tsk run on first boot there is a reg somewhere tho don't remember where (will look for it later)

3) I think so

4) Would be defined by the initflash I think. Windows seems the only place to reliably install anyway. If you want to put stuff in \Program Files I'd recommend cabs in the EXTROM personally.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TooSharp:
You can add themes and make them the default using the preconfig settings. Open up the package and look for a file called preconfig.txt. Edit this to set the default theme. Look at version 3 or 4 to see how the wm_black.tsk was being applied.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
That worked perfectly - thanks!

I'll add in those battery indicator packages and post 5.2. Whoohoo!

I'm struggling to keep up. :) I added in the not-so-black keyboard as well. (thanks CM!)

AdvancedConfiguration is still an issue, but minor compared to the beam / activesync / record issue.

I noted your theme question, but haven't had time to thouroughly answer. Easiest way is as posted earlier to just have CustTsk.exe install it from the ext rom or preconfig. Otherwise, you could change the default backgrounds and colors as I did with the dialpads. I don't have much more on how to do it than those two ways, though I'm sure there's more detials out there on it.

When I tap on a message to read it, the message is scrolled all the way to the bottom and I have to scroll back up to read it and see who it's from. It does this every time I tap on a message. And sometimes when I open Messaging, it does the same thing, it has scrolled to the earliest message, right at the bottom. Strange issue, any ideas on a fix?

While I don't know if it will make a difference, I'd suggest for everyone using the kitchen to get 5.2. That dll was a huge issue. I haven't had a problem with battery life or activesync since I reflashed.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
Hey, if you're taking request, here's a few more:

the black dialer in the options retains the stock dll used for smart dialing. The dialer from this cab (http://rapidshare.com/files/36694772/Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.cab.html) replaces this and has a nicer, more integrated smart dial feature.

I still get the white line when I invoke "contacts". It pops up right under the start menu. only shows for a second or two. This didn't happen with VP3g's... no idea what's different.

The other things I have used with the kitchen are really nice. I've finally figured out how to remove extraneous stuff (like the EvDo icons) to save some space. I said it once and i will say it again, ROMS based on your kitchen for the hermes are the fastest I've used....

keep up the great work Matt.
