gotta love the 'ol dot net. I worked for M$ supporting that CRAP for way too long... glad that's in the past ;)

The only software I know that needs a special script just to clean up the garbage it leaves behind after uninstallation so you can reinstall it. 1.0 / 1.1 is the worst. 2.0 is a lot better, but unfortunately some code as been written to explicitly need the 1.xx, rather than just .net.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
I think that what happened is I had an error with 1.1, but in a batch upgrade, it took to 2 and 3.

I uninstalled even the hotfix for 1 and then reinstalled each increment with a shutdown/reboot and it worked... this time. My condolences on the M$ thing. I can only imagine that being close to the strait-laced, white collar, stick-up-the-a$$ as my architecture gig used to be.

Black Satin??

Hey, sorry if this has been asked (my boss has just nipped out, so not long to look etc!!! sorry guys)

has anyone managed to get black satin working with this kitchen?

if someone has, how is it done? also is it just the SYS, OEM and XIP that need to be placed in the kitchen?

i know the black roms are difficult to cook, is there any files from the dump that need added or removed from the the SYS, OEM and XIP?

thanks for help, and sorry if it has been asked!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AssassinsLament:
I'm sure if JJ wanted people to be able to use his rom in kitchens, he wouldn't have made it difficult. He obviously wants it that way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
i asked because someone esle mentioned earlier in the thread that they were trying to get it working, i think they had a positive outcome, but the files needed a little tinkering.

sorry if i offended you, it was just a question!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I've got mixed views on this issue.

I think all of the work that is done here should be made available without "copywright" issues.

However - I know that a lot of work goes into customized roms (at least till this kitchen was done ;)) so gutting someone's work and posting the pieces doesn't sit well.

Basically, the software cannot be copywrited by the cook, so in theory you could rip it and use it. I just prefer for the cook to provide the packages willingly to the community - in a way as this kitchen was provided.

There will always be a mass of users who are not comfortable cooking thier own, so there is little chance that they will be "out of business".

Oh, and I'm not saying I won't do it for my own use :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cipro:
thanx for nothin
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
I can totally see your point, i was just asking to see if it had been done, i was just curious to know because i know this kitchen cooks really fast ROMs, and also that Black Satin is like a rocket too, thought it would be interesting to put Satin through your kitchen and see what happened woth the speed of the ROM.

@cipro: mattk_r is the guy who designed this kitchen and provides the support. you should thank him for everything. and if you dont want to, then you should do the decent thing and stop using his tools and dont disrepect him on his own thread!!!

PEACE!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
no worries - and thanks for the comment. I knew I would need thick skin in this forum :rolleyes: The Wizard forum was enough to spoil anyone :)

Once I recover from these last couple beta's and put out the released kitchen(interpret: I get caught back up at work) I'll start looking into some of the stuff that's out there.

I haven't made contact personally with any of the cooks yet to see how they "respond" to having their work distributed in a smaller forms. I may start a thread on the topic at some point.

Hey bro, sorry for not reporting back sooner. I was able to go through build os without error like before however I wasn't able to get past the at&t boot screen. I tried hr and sr and still the same result.

The way I made it through the build os part was by adding the dumped sys folder and oem and then adding from the original in found in the kitchen but not over writing existing files from satin. Anyway, this is what enabled me to run through the kitchen error free but i need more than the at&t boot :D Still trying though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
No Probs, do you mean you have managed to get satin working on the Pandora kitchen?

if you have managed (or when you manage) to get it working in the kitchen could you PM me the method you used please?

I ask you to PM because:

I agree with mattk_r that satin shouldn't be gutted and posted for everyone to use, because it is abit rude to JJ who has put alot of work into Satin, but in the same token:

I want to try it for my personal use not to post!!

Thanks for your help

Animated Splach Screens

Hi,

I have created about 20 animated splach screens, and i want to create packages so i can upload for all to enjoy, am i correct in thinking that i can just copy the "Startup Animation - HTC" folder from the OEM section of the kitchen, creat a new GUID for the rgu and remane the dsm with the same GUID as the rgu and then drop it into the OEM folder?

once i have got this working i will post all for everyone to enjoy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TooSharp:
Inside the option.xml you also need to update the name and guid. Make sure you edit the rgu file to point to the name of you new gif and wav file. Also don't forget to try them before you post them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
where can i generate GUID's?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TooSharp:
http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen

Set the type to 4 Random
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
I have finished the splash screens there are screenshots uploaded in the zip i hav included in the post.

Place folders into the OEM folder in the Kitchen

When i run buildos.exe i get an error when it is processing the startup animation, the error is "The file 'temp\dump\Startup_sounds.wav' already exists. then it finishes with errors.

when this is fixed i will replace the download links, as i dont think this is an error with the startups i have made, and if it is i need to fix it then relaunch the links!!!

what could be causing this error? help!!!

The Splash Screens can be downloaded from and of the following:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lokmeup:
/OEM/OEMDrivers Entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Button]

"PhoneVibrateButton"=dword:0	; 0 Disable PhoneVibrateButton

/OEM/OEMAPPS = NO ENTRY

Running Beta 3, with ComMgrVib AND Kaiser Home Plug-in

Sorry about the delay, but I have done a little more research of my issue. The phone also seems to randomly switch it's self into vibrate mode. At first I thought it was just the button getting pressed in my pocket so I removed the Toggle/Vibrate feature, but it still happened. Then I reactivated the toggle/vibrate feature and removed the Kaiser Home Plug-in.... AND WAHLAAA. The phone boots into ringer on AND the phone has stopped setting itself into vibrate mode. What do you think? I sure like the Kaiser plugin. Also, what is the "Automatic" mode in the Kaiser Plug-in? Maybe this feature is the culprit.

Ron
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I use the Kaiser plugin with the toggle vibe option - and never had an issue. Does your Comm Manager Vibe Toggle have 6 items in it - with the initflashfiles reading: Directory("\Windows\Startup"):-File("TrayIcon_MannerMode.lnk","\Windows\TrayIcon_MannerMode.lnk")

and the .rgu reading:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Button]

"PhoneVibrateButton"=dword:00000001

It appears through much testing that the reg settings in the OEM packages overrides the settings from the SYS items, so having it initially set to 0 shouldn't be an issue.

If this is what your setup looks like - can yoiu PM me your recipie? Maybe there's something there that might stand out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TooSharp:
Duplicate files. The Startup_sounds.wav is in another folder also. You will have to find the duplicate and delete it.

Didn't we just go over this?:rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
basically the error was half way through the build, and the only option was to select ok, resulting a failure, as you cannot search the file and resume the build. i have fixed it now, im just testing it as we speak.

i have also created a package for the HTC kaiser Home Pluging with the Normal Icons, instead of the coloured ones! once i have tryed this as well i will post it up if anyone wants it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Kaiser Home Plug With Original Icons

Hey Guys,

I didnt like the Kaiser home plugin that came with the kitchen, i didnt like the icons that were applied, here is a package for the kitchen which contains the kaiser home plugin with the original icons!!

Enjoy, its much slicker!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
great kitchen mate

hi Mate Great kitchen, i have flashed and customised so many roms in an hour, makes bilding your rom to your own liking so easy.

I am using the official htc dopod rom as a base and the rom is running perfectly. cheers again
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lynxxx:
great kitchen, everythink works fine!

I've cooked a ROM, as you can see in this list and 18 screenshots here:

http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=113843

(also there are some interesting downloads, as you can see in the screenshots)

My solution for the two minor problems were:

* 7/12/07 14:00 PST: Pictures by default are being saved to /temp. Need to locate key and reassign to /My Documents/Pictures.

I used HTCustom 1.7 and everthing was OK. If I shot a picture with the camera, the foto is on my storagecard. (under My Pictures of course)

* 7/12/07 21:51 PST: Keyboard mapping doesn't seem correct - and the backlight isn't coming on. Investigating...

I used HTCustom 1.7 and choosed german as keyboard language, and every letter is there, except ä, ö, und ü.

The keyboardlight is (by pressing any key) on, if I go to Settings->Buttons->Backlight, and uncheck the button.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
So you changed the ROM this comes with and replaced it with teh DOPOD final ? How did u go about doing that ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
i second that, please share!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
I think he just extracted it and replaced the dirs on here with it, but I am wondering if he is able to remove stuff it comes with.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lynxxx:
no, this official dopod WM06 ROM was in the kitchen pack. (not today ?)

nothing complicated. Just uncheck, and check the boxes in Pandora, plus 4-5 apps after flashing. (as you see in the screenshots, eg. Touch Phone Pad, etc.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
have to dump

you have to dump XIP from the official wm6 dopod rom and replace with the one in the kitchen also replace the SYS as well.

I got mine customise with all the HTC TOUCH stuff
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lynxxx:
some minor faults, if've found:

1. VoIP is not there. (nor the VoIP-todayplugin) I tried two different ROMs

2. Live search Todayplugin is not there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
Thanx for this, I was going to use another kitchen for this, but this is just as easy. Just to confirm, all you swapped was the XIP and SYS folder. Did you change the OS.nb at all? And did you make any changes to the Base OEM's?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stpete111:
The touchflo craze is NOT dead!!! Please keep trying to get it!

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
yes

i swapped the OS.NB as well and also include the 4gb sdhc drivers support only problem i see is when you first flash and aligning screen it feels a bit slower than normal. i have just implemented the new kaiser home plug in also.

my bad i exclude ms voice command and aligning screen at first cold boot is back to normal speed, i think because the voice command in the kitchen is an old one
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
What do you mean you have tryed differect roms?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
What do you think is the best ROM to use to replace the one in the kitchen?

and how would you dump the ROM so you could take the bits needed?

(sorry if these sound like stupid questions!)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
I think the best most stable base ROM would be the official release from HTC
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
But surely the official from HTC will not have all of the fixes that we accept as standard? what about sleuths developer ROM? also how would you dump this correctly to use with the kitchen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Lurch3559:
Thanks for clarification Dutty.

Mattk, thanks for the packages, they are great, Making life much easier and customizable.

Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lynxxx:
I've created two ROMs with the kitchen, the first was my ROM (in the link above), the second a Test one, with the default checked boxes, to see why VoIP isn't there.

And the delay after the first boot, in the align screen is normal, just wait 10-20 seconds, then everything is normal and fast, as you align the screen.

and damn: Now I see, that the ROM in Pandoras isn't the new one from 12. July!

It's this:

Build: 17736.0.2.0

Kernel: 5.2.968

an older one, right?

(I didn't realize, cause everything was the same, as in the yesterday official ROM)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Madcap180:
lol I just want someone to get TouchFLO with full TOUCH working with this kitchen.. someone get on that! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
you could

you can use the core pro kitchen to dump the rom and extract the XIP

I've got a new Live package that works, and added the new Kaiser Home with updated icons. Once I collect a few more updates, I'm going to post it with the OS and OEM entities seperated so you don't have to keep downloading the whole thing every time.

If there's a better OS to use, please post a (CLEAN!) SYS and ROM for it. I am still getting my feet wet with the different bases, so I need some help on that front.

Also, if anyone has any more packages to add (cabs are okay too), please post them ASAP.

I'm also hoping to get:

Kaiser Comm Manager

Kaiser Sliding Sounds (currently won't list sounds)

Kaiser Video Dialer

the corrected animated startup rgu in the file contained on the first post under the Fixes for current version... reads:

should the last line not say:

My rom which i built was doing some strange things over the weekend. I dont think the phone was shutting itself down when the battery reached its critical level. I started getting problems with the buttons on the front, and then all i would get was a white screen when i booted it.

However since i have charged it, no problems. Anyone else experience this?

Every time I try to start BuildOS I get an error and the program closes.

I'm running Vista HP and I use Admin rights.

Any ideas?

I just downloaded Bepe's Kitchen and BuildOS works with that one!

I'm stumped....

ok hang on. I did a bit of movin' and shiftin' and got everything working.

Quick question ... after dumping a ROM , to edit what programs are there, in the OEM and SYS folders,

it isn't as easy as just deleting them and replacing them with the 'package'

I want , is it? or do I need to use some kind of tool?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Im using this on Vista Ultimate and it fully works no problems, have you messed with anything in the OEM folder?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Dial Pad

Hi guys,

has anyone noticed that when they are using the dialpad with this rom, and you press the number keys, with most of the other ROMs pressing these keys will not only dial the numbers pressed but it would search your contacts as well.

Is there a fix for this as i find it is a really usefull feature!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] allan1:
not that I know of but I'm alright now. I played around with Pandora, Core and Bepe's . Seems to be working ok now. I think I just made my first Rom but I'm afraid to flash it in case it ****s up my device (ha,ha).

Maybe later, anyway I want to get more into modifying a ROM.

How you doing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Hmmmm. strange. Mine was working (without smartdialing added) but now it's not... I checked this after every change to ensure it still worked.

Which one did you try?

I'm doing a hard reset just to check....

Edit: No effect... I'll recook with smart dialing - I know that'll do it. I could have sworn that you didn't need this version of smart dialer to make it work...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
What do you mean which one did i try? if u mean rom, i used the 4meg pagepool rom, i have hard reset and still no effect, smart dialing aint working.

also i cannot have mp3 as ringtone, infact i cant select anything other than "arlouette", if i try to select anything else, when i press ok, it reverts straight away back to "arlouette"

another error i have found is that i am getting a "battery critical" warning at 40% - i know this was addressed in another thread but i cant find it

and how come this ROM is using Arcsoft V3.5, Arcsoft V4 consolidated SMS and MMs into 1 folder, i will try to find a CAB

are there any fix's for these?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ratcom:
Well Done

Ive now been trying out this "cook book" for the last week and can find no faults with it! I'm even able to drag my own files into the dump folder half way though the process to enable me to add flavor ;) Keep up the work my friend :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Im sorry!! did i just read that right, you can add things half way through?

how? do you pause the buildos.exe somehow? if you can add to the dump during the process, it would be brilliant if you had the option to pause the process or continue without additions!!

it has been annoying me, having to wait till the phone it flashed before i can add the theme i want, this rom dont have the black theme, also the welcomehead.98.png can be changed in the dump folder.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ratcom:
follow these steps ;)

1 - run "BuildOS.exe"

2 - select what you want, then press the "play" button (starting the process)

3 - Allow it to finish

4 - Instead of running "CreateROM.exe" first open up the folder ">temp>dump" here you will find your raw rom

5 - Now add whatever you want to the folder ">temp>dump" But be aware all added files will be cooked in the "windows" folder

6 - Now run "CreateROM.exe"

7 - Allow to cool and serve!

p.s. Ive found the easy way to add ringtones is to "replace" the oem's i.e. rename your favorate tone to "Ringer 3.wma" that way the cooker places them in the ringer folder for you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
WOW!! thanks for this, im going to try now!!

About the ringtone, i cannot selece and ringtone!! for some reason it is locked to "alouette" and i cannot change it!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ratcom:
Hmm not sure sure why that would be ....... maybe you have selected one to many "addons" Ive found out you can course problems by not being selective ;) Oh and Im using the 4 meg version FYI

Good luck and let us know how you get on!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Everyone;

No big issue, but note that ratcom says: "be aware all added files will be cooked in the "windows" folder"

The downside to this is; that you will be moving further away from matts Pandora Kit. In that, rather than everything easily being removed (check boxes) for your later builds, it's all baked in. More difficult to remove if you decide to in the future.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
A thought on the ringtone issue - is WMP installed? I've noticed this issue if you only have AudioManager.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lokmeup:
Does the base ROM work with 4gb SDHC cards? I read earlier that all of the official WM6 ROMs were suppose to work with the SDHC cards.

I just purchased a SanDisk 4gb SDHC card and the phone does not recognize it. What do I need to do the base ROM to get it to work? I would rather not have to switch to one of the other cooked ROMs for just this one thing.

EDIT: I noticed that OEM\OEMDrivers\sdhc_sc2410.dll\ folder does not have the sdhc_sc2410.dll that is in the same folder in the Black Satin ROM. And OEM\OEMDrivers\sdmemory.dll\ folder does not have the sdmemory.dll that is in the same folder in the Black Satin ROM. Does this matter?

Thanks
