I'm looking through the dump now.

If you have a spare phone lying around - and don't mind throwing it away if it doesn't work - give it a shot. Otherwise, I'd hold off a bit :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Tharit:
I hope this has not been asked / overlooked by me, but:

After installing my cooked rom (3.61), I am missing the shortcuts for Office Mobile.

The programs are there and work fine, but the shortcuts are not (already tried one hardreset as suggested).

Am I missing some other package, or a step that is needed to get them to appear?

All other programs I included appeared in the startmenu just like they should.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
Not a Hermes...

Difficult to wait... let me know if I can test something.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
It is displayed in the actual start menu - not in programs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Tharit:
Yes, I know that it SHOULD be in the actual startmenu, right next to the folder programs, but not inside of it.

Thats where I expected it to be, but its not there :)

Well, I will just create the shortcuts manually and see if this happens again when I flash again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] happybabyhippo:
Found the problem. It's schap's advanced config tool. There's a setting in there that seems to make the USB on my hermes funky. I installed HTConfig and it works now.

burned 7.1 to the phone... it's working very well now. Seems to be everybit as fast as the old 3.57 (or whatever version that was NOT t-mob)... that's nice!

can't wait to see how using "It's Right's" ROM will work. His seemed very fast on my phone, i *think* the speed is related to the compressed files you have referred to... if i knew what that was, I'd try to implement it in your 7.1 kitchen...

again, keep up the great work!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
glad to hear it's working :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I've heard of some issues from it - I've never used it personally though.

I'm downloading its right SYS so I have all the .rgu files, and should have the new base posted in the next couple hours.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] happybabyhippo:
Sorry.. it's not just Schap's, HTConfig also has the same problem. Funny though because I've used these tools in the past but it didn't manifest any of the "no sync" options until I cooked my own ROM using 3.61. Well, there's a setting in there that probably toggles something in the registry to make my USB unrecognizable for syncing. I found a workaround though. Connect your PPC to the USB cable then hard reset it. Once the PPC boots up, it automatically syncs. It is weird. I'd like to test each and every configuration option out to be able to isolate what it is that does this, but I don't have the time right now. Anyway, just to let you guys know.

One problem with the newest build of X-button...changing the options for the prog makes no difference --> ie. selecting 'display quick menu on Today Screen' will still not make that "X" button turn up (even after SR)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fordracerguy:
Cool App !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks for the info on the new x-button. Hopefully we can find a solution soon - though I wonder if it really brings anything new to the table.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] doowop:
no thank you matt for constantly updating debugging and improving your kitchen!

anyways...i mixed (again) 5.5c OS and 7.1 OEM/SYS packages...might that have played a role?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] allan1:
Hey Matt, lt me see if I have everything right.

First, you take a Rom and stripe it to the bare bones. Then create the OEM and SYS folders.

After that, you add in the 'Packages' to the OEM folders and then upload it here.

Would I be right in saying that the Packages will work in any Rom?

If that's the case, instead of adding in everything and making a big upload why don't you just upload the Rom, OEM and Sys folders and then have the Pacakages somewhere else for people to download. Something like the 'Repository' or another website.

It might make things easier to keep track of and everyone can download just what they need and add it to their Rom.

I don't know, just thinking of some way that we could make this more user friendly.

Definitely, a 'vault' for all the packages sounds like a good idea, to me anyway.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
Sorry guys, looks like that link I provided is all I can do for now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
I like the 'repository' idea. It would make things quite a bit easier to select just the packages I use in my build rather than having to download the entire set every time. It would also make it easier for us to contribute packages to the 'repository'. I have several I created for myself, some of which have made it into the kitchen already, and am more than willing to share the rest as well.

Either way, this is an amazing kitchen compilation and I would use it regardless.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] csaunders:
Everything is in one place now. How is separating each package for individual download on another thread or site easier to track?

1 file to extract and simple check boxes to install; it seems to me the only way Matt can make this more user friendly is if he comes to your house and installs it for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] xternal:
I agree, its not that big a download, you just download the whole thing and you know you have the latest and greatest and you are good to go. Matt is pretty damn good at adding in peoples own custom packages as they post them here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
thanks for everyone's comments so far. Here's my take:

I've though about doing just what was suggested - a package repository. The reason I don't is for 2 reasons:

1. By keeping everything together and controlled - it makes integrating new packages into the kitchen easier - in that I can test it's compatibility with other packages before releasing it.

2. By having the complete package collection, it makes stripping a new ROM to it's core much easier. More so with the MMS, dial pad, comm manager, and a few others, but overall it prevents someone grabbing the base and finding a package that it conflicts with for duplicate files.

One thing I could do is offer all of the packages as a release of it's own. Something to ponder anyway - but it'll still be a fairly large download size.

Another question was if the packages will work with other rom dumps. The answer is yes - to a point. If the rom dump has MMS integrated with the OEMApps folder, you can't add the package until it's stripped out. Same with X-button, Streaming Media, Windows Live, etc... Other packages, like registry settings, will work fine - regardless.

BTW, has anyone tried 8.0? I'm curious if it works :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] natzakaria:
I am just wondering matt do you use your own pandorra to cook your own build?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I use what I post for others to use, less a few packages that would be considered copyright.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 65coupei6:
I just flashed it. So, this build is based on the 3.54 ROM not the 3.61. Right? At least that is what it says when it boots.

Anyways, so far so good. The initial setup screens look nicer. Program groups are grouped differently. Tasks & Notes ended up in the Office Mobile File Group. WLAN & Bluetooth turn on/off ok. I havn't paired or connected via wifi yet.

Syncing also works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
Great links, fast for me!

Matt, may as well take my links down, they're too slow.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
I'm sure this is obvious to other people but what is the differences between 7.1 and ported build 8?

Ported from what?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
?? Are you referring to the IPL/SPL second splash screen?

If so, that is dependent on the ROM folder (including the OS.nb and the XIP sub folder). If you downloaded 7.1 6mpp ROM and got this, it may be a bad link. What was the file name you downloaded for the ROM? I'm looking at my phone now, and it says 3.60 (big storage version).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] claymen:
Yer i've been sitting on about 400kb/sec off my links whereas off sendspace i was getting 120kb/sec and rapidshare about 250kb/sec and the other mirror it started at 100kb/sec but dropped to about 5kb/sec which sucked. So yer figured i'd give back something to the community so to speak. Plus i've got plenty of bandwidth spare which I might as well (ab)use ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
That I'm not sure of. I had a few requests to build a base, so I did. I honestly don't know anything about it. Might take a peek at his TNT rom to get a bit more info on it...?

I don't plan on it being a fully supported base. I prefer to use the released OEM roms - even though most of 7.1 is from the T-Mo Test rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks for the links - I'll update post 1 in the morning :)

fordracerguy noticed that in Messaging, the bottom option under Menu should read MMS Options, but rather it says (A). It is most likely because while troubleshooting the beam issue I reverted back to a non-updated OEMApps .rgu file. I'll check it out tomorrow and hopefully that's all it is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Oppressa:
Matt, I've taken my links down so just use the fast ones above!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] claymen:
If you need any other files posted up let me know. I was going to mirror the older releases as well but rapidshare has been a PITA to download from.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
that's probably good. I'm a bit nervous now that a new bug has been found (it's the OCD kicking in :eek: ) and may have an update coming soon.

I appreciate it though. I know downloading is a pain - but I am usually on the other end, trying to get stuff posted!

Edit: Not sure if anyone has tried it yet - but wireless works fine - including IE scrolling. Just in case anyone was wondering...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] leoiden:
are you talking about your custom rom if so i tried it but reset when i installed the new htc home build!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] allan1:
You totally misunderstood me. Don't be so ****ing cheeky!!

When I said "more user friendly", I wasn't talking about the 'Kitchen'. I was referring to the 'Packages'. Every time we download the OEM and SYS folders, we are downloading almost the same Packages. I understand now why, some files will have duplicates in them and they won't run.

I was suggesting something like the Repository (stickied) but I'd say that after a while, you'll have to search through lots of pages to find something new. Something like DiStefano's .Cab thread would be better, a library if you like.

Got it??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
So it seems the Its right ROM used in 8.0 is based on a 3.54 version???

I'll try both later, see what is says, see how they act.

Be Gentle ;-)

Hi guys,

I've been using Schapps for ages and decided to move to this Kitchen.

1st off - I am loving the selection options!

I'm tried flashing 3.60 (big storage) and 3.61 with 7.1 and also 3.60 (big storage) and 3.61 with 8 beta2.

In all cases I end up with a rather disturbing situation:

ActiveSync insists on connecting only as Guest (tried all the normal tricks to resolve this) - but on closer inspection the problem seems to lie with the builds...

In all 4 cases there is no "Work Network" and "Internet" as network options. Using the HTC Networking wizard gives "Error in database" for South Africa->Vodacom and creating those networks manually has no effect.

Can anyone give advice/suggestions on how to proceed?

As an aside, some thoughts:

1) Maybe allow the BuildOS settings to be saved so while testing one can be sure of trying the same combination of options every time?

Recon I need to put my rusty coding gloves on again ;-)

Thanks again matt!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] maaron:
mattk_r, firstly I'd like to thank you for an amazing piece of work with the kitchen!

Secondly, can I add my support to the Save Options feature... I think it would be extremely helpful for us when experimenting with slightly different setups each time.

I think I re-flashed about 15 times yesterday!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] allan1:
You don't have to close BuildOS after it's done. Leave it open or have two copies (I have a Kitchen for the 3.60 Rom and the 3.61 Rom)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
I went with 8.0 (or .1) and my ie fails to connect. Locks the phone up trying to connect sometimes. Weird thing is, my weather app (SPB) connects fine for weather updates.

That ROM doesnt seem any faster or better than the one in 7.0 (or .1) so I dont see the reason to go with it. I had used It's Right's ROM that he produced (TNT I Think) and things seemed really fast, esepecially scrolling (through contacts for example). I expected to see that with this build.... but, seeing as I notice no real improvement, I'm going back to 7.1.

Also, with the latest build of the X-button (can't remember the number, which ever was the lower option in the v8 kitchen) the button doesnt work quite right. It doesnt show up on the today screen no matter which option I chose. Also, it doesnt seem to close my apps when i tell it to. The previous build worked fine.

Again, Thank you for all your hard work!

J~
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nemets:
Save

Yeah, adding Save options would be very helpful !
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Phantisy:
Matt didn't make BuildOS so he cant add any features to the software. If I had the source I could but I don't so its not possible to do so at this time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Very true. You'd have to talk to Bepe and see if it would be alright with him first. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Okay, here's my suggestion on this.

The BuildOS application was built by bepe, who retains the source code. I have a copy, but it is not complete - and I'm not proficient enough in C# to rebuild a workable version.

So with that, there are a few options:

1. Remove the options.xml file from the packages you want installed - they will be installed if this is not present.

2. Change the options.xml file text from false to true - that way when BuildOS runs, it will already be selected.

3. Create an application that you use to set your preferences based on prior settings. With this you would set preferences based on GUID in the individual packages - so that if a package were updated and the options.xml files is reset to false, your preference would still be saved in the registry - and it would then go through and update the options.xml files for you - and prompt you to new introductions should there be any.

If I had more time, I'd build the last option. But it seems every time I get close to finishing a build - a new OS is released :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Phantisy:
Yes that would be to proper way of doing things. Now if I wanted to do it like MS does I would just steal the code and change it to my likings :p but I am not that person. I will try talking to him about the source code. Damn I just uninstalled Visual Studio last night too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Save yourself time and reduce matt's workload

I think some people could benefit from doing what I do (and I'm sure I'm not the first to do this by a long chalk):

I have a folder called 'Extras' tucked away safely. Every time I unpack a new Pandora, I copy 'Extras' over the top of it.

'Extras' contains my own OEMs (Resco Explorer, Card Export II, et al) and different initflash.txt files (I use slightly diferent shortcut names and locations in the start menu) and options.xml files (true/false changed so I needn't arse about with checkboxes every time) to create my build identically with every new ROM.

If people who need this facility keeps their amended or added files tucked away safely, they'll be able to save themselves time and matt a some request responses.

(Since matt spends far more time on this than any of us (I don't care how many times you flash your phone) the last reason is reason enough to bother to do it.)

Saves me time every time I update. Saves lots of time. Not useful to everyone but if it's useful to you then do it. Takes no coding knowledge. I'm thick, me, and I have no problem doing it.

(Occasionally the UUID/GUID of an OEM package might change, so if your options.xml file for a package becomes out of date (BuildOS will soon tell you, don't worry about that) then just update the UUID/GUID number and run Build OS again.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Here's a possible fix for the MMS Options menu oops. Please let me know if it resolves the issue with MMS 4.2.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I need a couple guinepigs to try out the program I'm building. No info on it yet, and it's only a rough outline right now. please PM me if you're interested - but don't be put off if I don't respond - I'm up to my neck in code and I kinda get sidetracked :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Just got confirmation that this fixes the "(A)" mislabel in the MMS menu :)

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

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Hi mattk_r! I didn't have such an issue in my build, 8.0 b2.

Inspite of the comments below, I would like to say that the rom runs smooth and fast. No lock ups of IE, no problem connecting via GPRS or sending an MMS, 10% battery use in 12 hours stand by. A nice surprise was, the no need for SR during the slow boot up. The device boots up quite fast, no matter how many times you reset it.

Honestly, version 7 was a pain in the a.., and even the ROM was ported from Himalaya, I am 100% for version 8.

By the way, the X-Button 30740, indeed is not working right, so I would suggest removing it from the build.

Thanks for all your great work! :)
