Alternate Downloadlink Rapidshare

According to at1z0r, berdinkerdickle and matt here are the rapidshare download links:

Part I - everything but the rom folder:

http://rapidshare.com/files/43289371/PKHv3_Part_1_-_without_Rom.zip

Part II - the rom folder:

http://rapidshare.com/files/43283291/PKHv3_Rom.ZIP

Unzip Part I and copy the content of Part II (Folder "Rom") to folder "PKHv3 Beta 1 AT&T Rom". Finally there should be

Folder OEM

Folder ROM

Folder SYS

Folder TOOLS

File BuildOS.exe

File CreateRom.bat

File readme.txt

and two dll files

in this folder.

I unchecked quite a bit of stuff and my touch screen worked for the first tap and then I lost it when it was time to align the screen attempting to flash back with some diffrent settings.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fatcatxp:
I just finsihed flashing the new ROM, man that first HTC splash screen was awsome, anyways I will report back if it has any bugs. thank you again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
if you checked ATT WAP - Custom Settings, it will do that.

After a hard reset or flashing, don't touch the phone. You'll see it load the settings, reset, then go ahead and calibrate.

I must have missed a setting to have it start after FWUPDATE finishes :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] twist:
yah it did the post flash install the first time I just did it again with it on normal settings and it didnt launch the autorun, im sure its prolly just me I am gonna try this again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks, I'll take care of them, along with the initflashfiles right now :)

Edit - posted updated pack.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ndcart:
Man, and I just finished building with 1.5!! :D

Either way, wanted to say great work. This is the only tool I use anymore for my rom building.

Mirrors have been updated with PKH v11 Beta 2 & OEM Pack 1.6.

N2As mirror (USA): http://xda.not2advanced.com/pandora/

My Mirror (AU): http://www.crc.id.au/files/xda/

I've done a bit of a cleanup to the mirrors.

- Removed OEM_Pack_v1.2.zip & OEM_Pack_v1.4.zip

- Removed Radio versions 1.47 and 1.51 from in with everything else. Get your radio roms from the Radio_Roms directory of the mirrors. This way you can pick your own version.

- Renamed PHKv11.rar to PKHv11-Beta1.rar

- Added PHKv11-Beta2.rar

- Added OEM_Pack_v1.6.rar

- Added OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL.zip

- Removed Prebuild Pandora ROMs as it was causing some people confusion with Prebuilt vs Kitchens.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks! I'll add your links to the first post!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] egbert314:
First, I would like to say my thanks for creating such a wonderful tool. However, I have encountered some small problems. When I try to include Advanced Configuration, HTCustom 1.7, or Glossy Black Bars into the build, they give the following error when run after flashing:

Cannot open [Adv. Config./HTCustom/Glossy Black Bars]. A critical component is either missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable.

I am certain there is enough memory since this is right after flashing. I have tried playing around with various options in the kitchen to see if one of them is a prerequisite for these programs, but I have had no luck. I would appreciate if anyone is able to help with this problem.

These are the files I used for building:

v11.0 Beta 2 OS

OEM Pack v1.5

3.62.3 ROM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arcy:
I too am encountering this error when launching [Adv. Config / XMmobiresetter / another program that i can't remember ]. Not quite sure if this has to do with the .NET because i tried 3.5 and 2.0 and both give errors with different descriptions. I've also built a rom without adv config and xmmobiresetter then added them on as cabs and still the same error. Next I am going to build a rom w/o .NET and see what happens.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I get a similar error with the Modoca NoData application. I have included the .Net 3.5 framework - but it still errors...

I'm wondering if something else is missing, or if it requires something in .Net 2.0... I thought that 2.0 could be cleanly replaced by 3.5 however...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Hmmm... Advanced config has been historically hit and miss, but I haven't heard of the other packages giving issues.

I'll have to play around with them to see what's going on. I typically don't use them, so I'm not current on the status (it's hard to test every package after a change ;) )

Hope to have some info here shortly.

Edit: A "program memory" is almost always from the framework - because it is the memory manager for .NET managed applications.

If you take the NETCF2.0 folder from OEM, remove the option.xml file from it and move it into SYS, does it still have the error?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] AssassinsLament:
I had this too. It happens when NetCF isn't installed. Even when you include NetCF 3.5 OEM, it still acts as if it's not installed. So I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the netCF 3.5 OEM. To overcome it, I just left the NetCF 3.5 out, and install it via a cab file. Works fine that way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Hmmm - I'm still having issues with the Bluetooth GPS... After it working for a while, it just suddenly won't connect. There's certainly something wrong - but I have no idea what.... Re-pairing with the GPS and deleting/adding the COM port again does nothing...

I certainly didn't have these issues with v9.5, so it seems to be something in the changes.

EDIT: I'm going to build it again using v11 Beta 2 and see if it makes any difference...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arcy:
thanks so much! the problem went away when i installed .NET 3.5 as a cab instead of building it into the rom!

and for the previous poster, I'm not having any problems with the bluetooth gps using 3.62.3 ROM / PHKv11 / OEM Pack 1.6. You might just have to play around with the [com ports / external gps settings / software port / hardware port] a bit more. I usually have my com ports set to 0.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ndcart:
Interesting...I can install v2 or v3.5, and I get errors either way about memory. Wonder what has changed.

Reg changers

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your work. Here is some info that might help you pin point the issue with Advanced Config; appearently any program that directly touch the registry will fail, may be the file is read only or flagged as system or ROM. Ex programs that will fail are:XMmobiresetter (because it trys to delete a couple on entries in the registry), Advanced config (trys to open the registry in a read/write mode) and Tweaks2ks.net (same reason as Schap's Advanced Config).

I hope this helps, take care.

Andy
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] egbert314:
When I try that, it gives a .NET CF Initialization Error. "The Application failed to load required components."

If I don't build in any .NET CF, then install .NET CF 2.0 after flashing, all the programs I mentioned (Adv. Config., HTCustom, Glossy Black Bars) run.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] starbase64:
Hi,

thank you for your perseverance on the project.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Glad that the cab works.

Is there a general feeling that the included .NET Framework packages are not working, and only the cabs are?

If so, I have an idea on a plan for fixing the package issue. I'll have to roll a rev on the base though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] egbert314:
I just tried building with .NET CF (I tested with 3.5 then 2.0), and installing a program that relies on .NET CF 2.0 (Japanese Pocket Dictionary). It gives the same error about a critical component is missing (with 3.5) or the application failed to load required components (with 2.0), so it seems like there is a problem with the included .NET framework not working. If I bulid without .NET CF and install .NET CF 2.0 as a cab, then the program works fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
hi Matt,

don't know if it's any help: I made an own OEM NETCF 3.5, that works for me..

I'll send you a PM with the map, can't upload here (too big???)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
I have an extra file in my (working) OEM map: "Microsoft .NET CF 3.5.GAC".

Confirmed test procedure for BT GPS issues.

Ok. I've managed to find a 100% reproducible case for my BT GPS issues.

1) Pair with the BT GPS, Set it as COM0.

2) Launch TomTom or GoogleMaps - confirm GPS works.

3) Pair/connect with BT handsfree car kit.

4) Launch TomTom or GoogleMaps - confirm GPS doesn't connect.

5) Turn off BT handsfree kit.

6) Launch TomTom or GoogleMaps - confirm GPS still won't connect.

7) Reboot Hermes device. (soft reset)

8) Launch TomTom or GoogleMaps - confirm GPS works.

9) Repeat testing from step 3 with same results.

I've been able to reproduce this with all v11 Betas. This doesn't happen with the v9.5 kitchen + 3.62.3.

The BT kit is a Blueant Talkpad - http://www.blueant.com.au/handsfree-talkpad.htm
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ndcart:
Same exact scenario for me too. Thanks Matt.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] drewty:
Hi all, need all your help. I just tried to flash to the new ROM and now my Hermes just hang on me at the HTC splash screen and does not go to the next screen.

I try to flash it again but the program does not detect the device at all.

Please let me know if there is a way to revive it again.

Thanks everyone in advance.

P.S. I have used this kitchen for a few times and do not have any problem at all.

Can you get to the Rainbow Screen (Bootloader) ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] drewty:
Hi Bredinkerdickle,

Thanks for the hint, i am in bootloader screen now, trying to reflash my unit again.

Thanks again for the quick response and will get back to everyone it it is working again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] drewty:
Hi all,

i managed to get my unit to work again using the previous ROM i have created, the new that i created does not work at all for me.

Will try again later when i have the time.

Thanks again for all your help and advice on this issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
Perhaps you could try another COM port? I use COM4 (can't even choose COM0), works fine in every ROM version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I have tried this - however after I tried the above 6 times in a row with the exact same results, it has since been working correctly. It's got me puzzled as to what the hell is going on - as no config changes have been made between tests. Maybe it's one of the many mysteries of Windows ;)

One thing I did notice however, is that when it would fail, there were two COM0 entries in the TomTom GPS setup screen. When it did connect correctly, there was only the single COM0 entry. If I use COM4, then fail = 2 x COM4, work = 1 x COM4.

I'm wondering if something is buggy with the way Windows handles the GPS (Start -> Settings -> System -> External GPS). I have both of these set to None now, and I can't fault it (at the moment - until it probably changes it's mind just to turn me into a liar :)).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I actually don't use the external GPS function. In each GPS application (such as Google / Topo! / Pocket Streets) I set the gps manually - in my case COM4 and 9600 baud. Could this be the difference why we're getting different results?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Just uploaded the next rev of OS / OEM that will hopefully resolve the .net framework issue. Note there are 14 more packages for clock home colors as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] egbert314:
Thank you so much! The new revision works great, at least with .NET CF 3.5 (I haven't tested 2.0).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
That would be pietrucci's fix - he provided the working 3.5 package :)

Ext ROM install not working

Hi Matt,

It seems that the Ext ROM install with no pre-cnfig is not working in the v11.

the Schapps Advanced configuration cannot be started too...

regards
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Hmmmm.... probably the lack of a registry setting. I must have cleaned them out for the Pandora Naked base. There's a reference to launch the autorun.exe in the extended rom.

I won't have access to my laptop till tomorrow, and I'll post the corrected file and the packages as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fychan:
Hi Matt,

Yea I think other registry settings may also not have been applied in your latest build.... even the Hide SIM contacts and other registry settings are not in effect.

regards
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I reviewed the registry settings, and the extended rom values are correct and already in place. Are you sure your extended rom has the correct components - Autorun.exe & config.txt? If you've flashed a big storage rom, you'll need to reflash a good extended rom image first.

Has anyone else tried the "Enable Extended ROM Install - No PreConfig" to confirm it's operation?

As for the hide sim contacts, that's not a default setting, rather an option in the registry tweaks labled "Hide SIM Contacts", which is not checked by default. Did you check this one? If so, did it work / not work?

What other registry settings did you notice?

As for Schaps Advanced config - it's a custom application and I don't know anything about it. I would guess it requires the .NET Framework (not sure which version), and possibly other components as well. Sorry about this one - I don't have anything on it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Great additions, thank you!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I missed that last one in 1.8. Have to catch it for the next roll.

I just posted 1.8, and please note I removed the non-shareware or other applications that I hadn't realized I left in (I had built them for myself with my own software).

While I think sharing applications that came with our phones or shareware is fine - purchased applications is not. I have no desire to knowingly break any copywright laws, and while our phone software is a big "grey" area that's been the subject of much debate, these apps were clearly not.

Now I'm sure with a little searching, just about any cab can be located... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
Heh - yeah - both CVC and Quickmark are free downloads - CVC via the Dopod web site, and Quickmark from the Quickmark web site - hence the newer updated version. I don't believe this violates any copyright laws as such - but if I'm wrong, then I'll remove the files from my posts....

Can anyone Tell me What the Storage Space is on 3.62.3 ROM

I'd Like to go with the Big Storage ROM but I won't if there is a good decent Size Space on the newer , Faster 3.62.3 ROM :confused: Anyone ?:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
about 69 free with 3.62, or 79 free with 3.60 BS
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] EQUiLiiBRiUM:
OH ok The 3.62 is Just as Big ? What's the Big Difference Between The 3.62 and 3.60 ? No ext ROm for the Extra 10 ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] spastico:
I think some are interchanging the terms 'BigStorage' and 'SuperStorage'

I thought 'SuperStorage' was when the ExtRom is merged, (No partition)

But if so, what is 'BigStorage?

On the other hand;

if 'BigStorage' is when the ExtRom is merged, (No partition), then what is 'SuperStorage'?

:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Correct, you no longer have a seperate partition with 3.60 - rather it is merged with the regular storage space.

You simply remove the wall between the extended rom space and combine it into one. You technically don't gain any extra space, but it's "easier" to access.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I've only used bepe's big storage. There may be some confusion because in WM5 you could tweak some settings and reallocate space without reimaging the device and the term may have originated there - not sure but just a thought.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:
Just to clear up then dude, 3.60 with BigStorage is merged?? as i get around 68-69 after my (quite cluttered) go with the latest kitchen.

EDIT:: and btw....it goes like a *****!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Correct - the storage memory and extended rom space is merged.

If you're getting 69 free after a bulky install - you're in good shape. With a minimal install (no preconfig installed stuff) and no OEM packages, you can get up to 81+. 69 isn't bad.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mrvanx:

I've heard of others using it in the past with builds from the AT&T 3.62, but not first hand on this specific base build. I have no reason to think it wouldn't - and am going to buy one here in a couple days - but it would be nice for anyone who's actually used it to chime in :)

3.60 BS

Hi evrybody,

Thanks Matt for the wonderfull work and to all contributors in the forum.

My question is about the total space that is shown after flashing a ROM. I have used the black dragon ROM and I get 85MB, after flashing the 3.60 with 11B3 OEM1.8 kitchen I get 65.94MB (52MB with 3.62.3) of TOTAL space.

Where did I go wrong?

Happy Holidays & New Year,

Yousif
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
As I understand (someone please correct me if I'm way off) the files you include in your build (basically the size of your .nbh file you flash if it only contains your OS) is how much storage memory you're going to consume. For example, my Naked rom is about 45 meg - so take that away from the 128 meg storage space - you get 83. Now with that rom, it only realizes about 81 free so there's a bit of a fudge factor - but you get the idea.

So I'd say to take a look at your .nbh size and I'd guess it's about 60 meg?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
It would also be expected to have 3.62.3 with about 10Mb less available than 3.60 due to the extended rom...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ucifmak:
I get the idea! I realize now how silly my question is. Thank you very much for your response (patient and polite). Thanks @CRCinAU as well.

The file was 60.838 MB.

Final question: is there a real difference in performance (for every day use) between the 3.60 and 3.62.3 ROMs for your kitchen?

Cheers!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CRCinAU:
I'm not too sure... I went with 3.62.3 cos I'm a new version junkie ;) If anything, there would be minor bug fixes I would assume - as I believe it's a newer windows version. Speed however would probably be around the same.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you follow the proper format (adding the dll from the first post if you use 3.62.xx, or not if using 3.60), you shouldn't see any speed difference between the two. I don't have data to support this, but in observation of performance I expect it to hold true if tested.
