Like you, I have not had occasion to use the video dialer, and would say it is not needed. In addition there are cabs to add it back if someone does need it, but if it is causing problems then I vote to bump it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
I was starting to get concerned also.

I say, we should just focus on issues right now.

Once you have a stable base with everything working, then move on to add-ons, fluff, and tweaks.

Right now we have enough choices in the OEM folder, and I am in the process of learning just how to add my own. No need to divert your attention.

So I say let's leave matt alone with personal preferences for now, and stick with issues.

Thanks,

Berd
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
I agree completely.... choices in the OEM can be added at a later date. The most important thing is the stability of the base and the functionality of the kitchen. Keep up the good work Matt!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you look in OEMApps, the file is already there. In cingular - custom settings it is being set to /enable. I'll see if I can clean it up so it's an option without installing the carrier stuff.

Matt, you got your laptop near ya? Can you get me the registry entry to initialize the sliding keyboard sounds?

Active sync issue

So just to give you guys an update. I let my phone sync all night and the calendar did finally load. I have a lot of calendar entrys from outlook around 250 but it didn't take anywhere near this long in any of the roms I've used except for the roms I've personally baked in this kitchen. It's probably an issue of my being a total newb + large number of calendar entrys but I wanted to keep you guys posted in case someone else is having this issue. Thanks again for all your work on this Matt, it's an awesome thing to be able to customize our own roms this way. Even with this problem it's totally worth the experience of getting to customize my phone with your kitchen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pello:
can i use the kitchen with the new german o2 rom (if i swap the "oldos.nb" with the new)?

if not...how can i cook the new office, kaiser stuff, etc into the new o2 rom?

With rom koch?

thnx in advance

if there ist a german cook out there, please pm me in german. that would be nice ;)

i have been using my own 3g icon fix

I have fix my 3g icon but only issue is the 40% batter life notifications. I can send you the file for you to replace in the kitchen
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Sorry if Stupid question, but;

Does it switch between all these: G=GPRS E=Edge 3G=3G H=HSDPA

The Rom I was running from Sleuth did.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
yes

Yeah I have been using it since day one with no problems with 3g/gsm/hsdpa I havent got edge wher i live but should be ok
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
Thanks :)

Will be glad when matt gets it in there.

Not a real issue like sliding keyboard sounds though ;)

right madcap :p

flashing a quick test run after removing video dialer and PPT icons from OEMApps... with luck i'll be uploading soon. Updating post 1 with changes as well.

That icon looks great - please pass it over!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
just send u a pm

this wont replace the dial to that ugly pink colour one with the other 3g icon floating around
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
Im ready to put the new beta thru the stress test!!!! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
uploading now, but it's gonna be a while. I'm not getting very good xfer rates.

3G icon updated (tnx duttythroy).

My initial "issue" with the dialpads were related to the speed dial skin theme - and how it integrated poorly with the touch dialer. I'm still curious how well it works / integrates with the stock dialpad though.

I don't plan on releasing again till touchflo is working - but feel free to post your own and i'll add them to the second post for the next build :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
no more releases till touchflo, meaning like actual touch or buttonflo like we have had ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I will only accept the real thing. "Taste's like chicken" ain't good enough for me :cool:

Not saying I will succeed, but I'm gonna give it one hell of a try.

FYI - still uploading. 30 minutes to go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
Thanks Matt

I just wanted to say Great Job making this tool for all us wanna be cookers :D

Thanks A bunch!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Just a warning - while the kitchen has the fixed 3G icon, if you run the attached cingular settings cab it will overwrite the file phcanOverbmp.dll.

For some reason it was included in the cab.

I attached it just in case someone wanted to check it out - but remember it has a dark side!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
im kinda new

im new around here and to all this stuff, but I did come across this file.. does it help?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
just by the file name - it looks like it addresses the issue :o

sometimes I get the strangest stuff.

BTW, first links are posted, megaupload in about 20 minutes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
downloaded and building as I type

I'm going to go ahead and build a quick one tonight and flash my device so I can play tomorrow while at work. Will post any issues if any... thanks again for this awesome tool!

camera options

I somehow have lost the camera options fonts. when I go into options for the camera the grey box opens but there is no text to be read.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
what would they have looked like? I removed a bunch of png's that appeared to be related to the VoiceDialer. Hmmm. Let me play for a sec. I have the original files so I'll see what it needs :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
here's a shot of it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] over2land:
I thought I was going to build a quick one too.

But I keep on getting errors that this file, the other file, and so on exist.

All in temp... after it says the temp files are deleted.

I do a search in windows explorer for said files, delete them, and another pops up.

4 different files in now, found another one that "already exists" and decided the hell with it.

Anyone else see this? Anyone got any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
yeah, I know those. I'll post the files, and get a new build up quick... :o

Did you try that new comm manager I added as well? It isn't opening for me from the hard button.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
what packages are you trying to install? You'll get this if multiple home plugin's are checked, or if more than one comm manager... :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
i did another quick build I thought maybe my build caused the camera font error, i installed the kaizer 9 button comm manager. which worked fine with the button. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
my PC's USB is hosed. Can you try these to see if they're all it needs?

Just copy to /Windows
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
i pasted those files to my windows folder, checked the camera options its still hidden, i soft reset the device and still nothing. there is one thing showing up... 4th icon the words storage card shows up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
hey man, we on the same page, I looked at those items u asked me to try, they dont seem remotely close to what im talking about. :D thats not saying much.. cuz I dont know squat about this, just trying to make sure we're on the same page.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
ok, I'll pull that comm manager.

I'm pulling the links till this camera issue is resolved :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
When you say new build, will that be all of these three:

OEM & SYS Folders:

ROM Folder:

Base Kitchen Tools:

I'm assuming the base tools will remain the same.

I'm currently getting really slow dl speeds, so just wondered which of the three I should save to last.

Aslo, did you get the 'preautorun'/'preconfig' (3 seconds to customization)

to stop launching to early?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Nope - just the OEM and SYS.

Nope - still launches before screen cal

has anyone checked ActiveSync? I was wondering with the SQM folder removed :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
i can do one more build before my eyes drop :) would you like me to try another comm manager?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
if you are running with the SQM folder, here's the reg to turn it off:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\SQM]

"Enabled"=dword:0
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
the others are all tested working. that new one was a crap shoot, and I lost :)

I'm just trying to get that camera files thing fixed real quick - thanks for posting this stuff so quick!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ko0ky:
ok ill leave the comm manager I have, in case you need a tester.. ill be sitting here another 15 mins.. ill 230am
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I added in a bunch of files that are definetly not PTT, so it should be good now. I'm flashing now...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
does your activesync work?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
multiple response...

I'll be able to post to more mirrors tomorrow. My laptop battery is nearly dead. :(

As I work with this new kitchen I'll add revision numbers. Great idea, I should have been on top of it sooner.

I'm not in a competition with anyone over who makes the best rom. I respect the cooks who generate roms for users, as they have great ideas. I prefer work that I configured to my taste, and this is the tool and how I use it.

My only objective here is to provide these easy to use tools and interfaces for users to create a truly custom rom for themselves. Not everyone can dump an OS, extract the components they don't want, add in new ones, and recreate a new ROM. Heck, just flashing is enough of a scare for newbie. This helps as a bridge between the novice guy who whants to start cooking and the advanced users who only uses command line entries and hate's GUI. What is a .rgu, options.xml, .dsm, provxml, xml, dll, exe, compiled vs decompiled app? Intimidating, I'd say. Start simple, and work from there.

Also note - I keep update the first post very often - sometimes many times a day as I find out information. Read there first before posting, you might find your answer there. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'll also add in the Kaizer stuff after I flash it a couple time to test it, just downloaded it now.

So is the touchflo craze dying or dead over here? I ask cause there's a bunch of work to be done, and if it ain't that important, there's other stuff to do ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] guapinoy:
great job bro, these packages will make it really really easy for people to cook :) lookin forward to another release
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fatcatxp:
man this is a really great tool! thank you so much!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
TOUCH flo would be nice if it can be done, we have been waiting so long for it to be working and noone has managed, if you can do this you are definately one step ahead of everyone else!!

also would it be possible to get an option for the HTC_Touch default skin, i think this is the nicest one available.

Last thing, can you tell me if the OS included in your kitchen has the following things fixed, they are so annoying so if they came readily patched it would be good, the first is the 3G icon, and the second is the battery warning at 40%, both of these irritations are present on many ROMS, is there a section for applying common tweaks to the registry?

the reason im asking alot is i cant actually get the kitchen to run, i get a fatal error, i think it is due to this laptop.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Inline....

No problem, ask away.

I'm flashing the Kaizer stuff now, since that new home plugin looks cool :cool:

FYI - as I find packages I add them to the second post, and in the next software roll they'll get added in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
i dont actually know if the rom used im your kitchen has these registry problems i mentioned, as i said i cannot test as there is somethin wrong with my GF's laptop (other than the fact that it is slow!!)

EDIT: I just thought i should bring it to your attention, also a section for tweaking the OS before it is created into a ROM would be good as you could apply the thing you wanted before flashing, so there wouldnt be any messing around once it is on the device!!

i have included a screenshot of my error if you can spread any light on it?

where did you say the list of available software is? i have a huge collection of OEM stuff if you would like me to post it up for you, you can see if any of it is worth using in your kitchen.

also just another flying observation, you could do with sourcing a complete/all-in-one tweak application, it is quite annoying that HTweakC has some nice features, HTCustom has some different features but you have to have 2 different things installed (something like Schaps's advanced Configuration i think this has the most included, if you can get it outa the ROM, and /or he lets u use it/or make one)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
With regards to the 3G icon, the 3G icon you have on your screenshot is the ugly one. there is a registry fix to get it looking nicer than that, i have attached a cab with the clean 3G fix but i think there is something extra happening with the battery level changing to low power at 40% when its used, here is a link to the relevant thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=313593

i hope i can help more, this looks like a really good project

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Oh, almost forgot. In /OEM I keep a folder for this kind of stuff - basically mandatory tweaks and fixes. No point in adding them as a choice.

Thanks for the 3G cab, I'll snag the reg setting from it and put it in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Ahh i didnt realize you had done this, be carefull with the 3G cab i gave you, it induces another error (i think), that thing with the battery reading at low at 40%

I have just found this thread, and apparently this fixes the 3G icon and the battery error:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=315047&highlight=clean+3g+icon

( i think the registry setting for the battery is in this file - phcanOverbmp.zip you can find this file on the thread above)

would you like me to send you my OEM folder, as i said you can take what you need and include it to your software library
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Please send what you have. I do try to reference contributers - but have a tendency to fall behind sometimes :o

Hmmm. I extracted that cab and am just now running it. I'll check that post, and see what happens!

Second mirror added as well :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
I am currently working, as soon as i get home ill PM you the link.

would you prefer it on megaupload or rapidshare?

thanks for the second mirror, but i will be waiting for the new kaiser files to be added and the touch flo to be working, is there a rough ETA? (Just curious, not pushing!!)

Thanks for ur work, can't wait to try it!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
The Error I Mentioned Before!!

When i run buildos.exe i get the following error:

CLR error: 80004005.

The program will now terminate

any ideas, im currently uninstalling and reinstalling the .net framework to see if it helps

any other ideas would be great (im using XP)

NOTE TO EVERYONE: to fix a MS product, you must uninstall and re-install everything. wat a joke!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Another Question about the kitchen, does it have the ability to deconstructe a ROM, for example, if someone wanted to take black satin lite (the developer ROM) and add their own stuff to it using this kitchen? or is it specifically for creation of new ROMS?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DiscoSmurf:
a solution was found for said individual as he concludes the post with the steps necessary to resolve his issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
Hi,

as i siad in my last post MS SUCK!! i folowed this guys steps, they are good, but the specific removal tool he mentions is only available from MS directly, i could not find it on the web.

My Steps to fixing were as follows:

1) Uninstall in reverse order, i.e. uninstall the newest version first and remove then remove the next newest etc

2) restart computer after uninstall complete

3) Used REGISTRY FIX (trial available from official site) and cleaned all errors.

4) Restarted computer again

5) Re-install the .net framework starting with v1, then v1.1, then v2, then v3

6) Restart Computer again, and it works

I'm out here in Edgeville only.

So far all I've got dl'd is the Rom.

As for the other beta's; I have had pretty much no issues.

I run pretty much stripped, so I never seem to have any real issues.

I really do believe you've really hit it big here though. Now the options for ones to simply build it as they wish is becoming a reality. :)

Thanks So Much.

Just 2 quick questions:

- can I use ROM folder from Beta1?

- can I use this kitchen to change PagePool to 4 Mb?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christonge:
Just unzip all the files into one folder like the previous versions... works fine.;)

@qsqa Should work with the different rom base but I find the ATT base is definately more stable.

As for the pagepool you´ll need to HEX edit the os-new.nb file before run the nbh tool.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
your basic kitchen setup will contain the following:

Folders:

OEM

ROM

pkgcommon.dll

christonge, mattk_r - Big THANX to you !!!

A few minutes ago I cooked my first "self-made" ROM with 4 Mb page pool. It was very easy, and only 5 minutes of fear ;-)

BTW - Page pool size can be changed also in "os.nb" located in ROM directory, then this change is active during whole process of rom cooking
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
Well, I set my ROM to 4 Mb Page pool => 57 Mb Storage and 50,77 Mb Program (the last one exactly the same as you!).

After installing my stuff my free Storage is 32 Mb and Program is 24,54 Mb.

In my base ROM I added things like Windows Live, Office, HTC dialer and comm.mgr, BT explorer, taskmgr and Sprite backup.

I installed lots of programs:

Jetware BT Tools

Contactmanager

Coreplayer

GSPlayer

PZP Tools

Slide2Unlock

SPB Time

Sprite Backup

TomTom

Wisbar Advance Desktop

Wisbar Lite

some skins (Wisbar, HTC) and ringtones

I set my Glyphcache (16384) and caches (both 8192) and close all my programs (instead of minimize them).

Strange that your base Storage memory is that high (62 Mb)...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] qsqa:
I followed this instruction:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1152790&postcount=1

I used xvi32 instead of radare (because I can't find it) ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Docs_Tutorials/htc-wizard-pagepool-tutorial.rar (xvi32 is in this package)

First I open os.nb (from ROM directory) in xvi32

Then search for "NKKD8" text string - second result is what we need (3AB9C0 row)

Next you must find hex string 64 00 00 (3ABC90 row) and in this row you will see hex string "60" (3ABCAA position). You need to change value from "60" to "40" to have 4 Mb pagepool. Save and that's it :D

As I can see after 2 hours there are no significant speed decreasing, and I have 2 Mb Program memory extra.
