Here's some background on this. Mfrazzz and I worked to try and clean up a Wizard rom and came to a pretty good understanding on the topic.

Anytime you see a folder within a folder in the /SYS directory, such as /SYS/Baseapps/xxx, that folder is the decompiled source for the dll, exe, mui, or cip. The presence of the compiled file is not necessary, as the file is rebuilt, and will actually add bloat to the finished rom. We're talking megs of recovered space. It made a huge difference on what we could cram into a Wizard.

Anytime I release a kitchen, I clean them out first.

So, for a short answer made long, nope :) (unless the

version

is wrong :confused: )

All the pandora Roms I've used so far work with the 4Gb card.

I formatted it on the computer, then put it in the phone and formatted it in the phone, then put it back in the card reader on the computer and dumped the stuff on it. I used 2 or 3 of Sleuth's ROMs before playing in this kitchen.

But anyway, no problems with the card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lokmeup:
Thank-You for the confirmation. 3 guess I need to get a SDHC card reader and format the card first.

Ron

EDITED: Yup it works now. I had to first format it on my computer with the card reader. Thanks!!!

Smart Dialling

Ok, sorry, but 600 odd posts that I have read, and I am still unsure what the status of SMart Dialling and Video Dialling is with the kitchen :(

Can someone point out what I need to do to create a ROM that has SMart Dialling enabled, SMart DIalling Options working, and 3g Video Dialling?

I understand I will have to install an additional dialler, such as JJ's 3xcabs for video dialling, but when I tried this smart dialling options were not available.

(Maybe the answer to this could be added to the 1st post?)

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
What you find is that you ask your questions, no-one will answer but it will probably be fixed in the next release!!

when i cook with this i get the following errors:

1) i cannot have mp3 ringtones, and my ringtone is locked to alouette.

2) Memory card disappears, and its only a 2Gb!!

3) sms & mms are split (most other ROMs have Arcsoft MMS v4, this has v3.5)

4) smart Dailing and options are missing totally

but no-one wil answer, hopefully it will be fixed in the next release
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
1. mines work ok

2. using 4gb sdhc card never had an issue with disappearing card

3. i am using the new 4.0 mms app that i replaced in the kitchen

4. using the latest smart dialling

no 3g fix as yet.

I have been busy playing with my new htc advantage since yesterday havent been in thread until now.

mattr should be getting everything fix in his next release
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] philg2000:
Did you do anything to get Smart Dialling options to appear?

I have built 2 ROMs with this kitchen (which is absolutely Fab!!!), but the options did not work in either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rabdo:
3. Has anyone got the new 4.0 mms app working properly though? When I have tried it on various ROMs it will not play any .3gp video files or .amr sound files.

try the following:

go to new MMS

tap 'insert audio'

tap the record icon

tap record (clock will start running)

tap stop then play - NO SOUND and no timer running

(you can use explorer to go into my documents and run the sound file .amr manually and the voice is there)

also

go to new MMS

tap 'insert picture/video'

tap the video camera app (takes you to the camera for video MMS)

record a fews seconds

tap on the 'back icon'

only an icon is displayed and if you press play then nothing happens. if you send this MMS it WILL display normally and show the video you recorded

It would seem the MMS app cannot preview or play videos in .3gp format or audio in .amr format which are default extensions used in recording through the MMS app. Obviously, you get the same problem with viewing MMSs that are sent to you which use either of the formats I have mentioned.

This is why I prefer to stick with v3.5 of Arcsoft MMS - unless someone can fix the above problem.......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I tried both MMS scenarios, and both worked fine.

If someone who doesn't have smartdialing installed as an OEM package would try copying the smartdialing.dll and smartdialing.dll.0409.mui to the /Windows directory on their phone and test the dial pad after a reset?

I remember I moved that file to the smartdialing folder recently - and wasn't aware of the concequences...

I'm gonn flash here in a few, but in case someone else wanted to test real quick too/

Edit: more to it than just the two files. hold on, major flailing going on...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] d34d4liv3:
BT (OBEX) failed.

Just want to share.

I have encountered a problem during transfering files between 2 pda (dopod838pro). I am using PTT - disable mode. I was unable to send or receive files to/from other dopod 838pro which both were flash with the same kitchen ver. 3.3.

when transfering file to different cooked rom(black satin), i was able to send file but the other pda(black satin) was unable to send to my dopod838pro due to obex problem. I have tried to flash many times just to figure out which OEM package has caused this problem but no good.

I have tried to uncheck both "PTT- enable" and "PTT- disable" and manage to get my BT to send and receive transfered files again. but having both packages unchecked has caused my pda not able to response to any hardware button.

anyone encounter this problem?? pls share some solution. I've tried flashing with kitchen ver 2 beta 1 (rom ver 3.54), the BT come back to normal again and able to transfer and received files.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
So I went back to the base Hermes AT&T release, and it has the funky blue smart dial thing on it.

I added the Touch dialpad skin, and the smart dial stopped working.

Does anyone know when the smart dial stopped working as an integrated part of the dialer? I'm not talking about that big-az popup, but just part if the small windown that lists contacts by relavance to what's been dialed?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rabdo:
Are you saying that you have got .amr and .3gp attachments working and playing normally in v4 of Arcsoft MMS? If so then have you changed anything to get it working? What is the version number of the Arcsoft MMS you are using? - mine is v4.0.31.21
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Can anyone else confirm 24's concerns?

I've got the stock dialer working with smart dial - not the funky big pop-up thing either. I can't get the Touch dialer to work though, so I'm gonna pull it from RC1 until a fix is found.

I've got a bunch more testing to do, but I should have RC1 out in the next couple days. Biggest changes are (other than the smart dial for stock dialpad) is more OEM packages and lowered volume for startup animation (and they work).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
I can only confirm that (as of yesterday's downloads and packages), if I install the base with the Touch dialpad and smart dial, I don't get the integrated smart dial, just the big blue pop-down one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
RC1 posted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rabdo:
Arcsoft MMS version?

Are we still using Acrsoft MMS v3.5 in this ROM or the newer v4.0?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sleonard:
Downloaded. Thanks for all your work. I'm still doing my research so I haven't flashed anything I've built with the kitchen yet but I'm getting close.

Couple of questions:

1) Is the updated Voice Command in post 2 included in RC1?

2) Does this sound correct?

I've exported two registry keys, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Owner & HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident to make it easier during hard resets and flashing new ROMs.

If I wanted to include those in the kitchen I would first need:

a) get 2 GUID's

b) rename the owner.reg and ident.reg files to GUID1.rgu and GUID2.rgu

c) create 2 empty text files and rename them to GUID1.dsm and GUID2.dsm

d) create 2 option.xml files

e) create 2 subfolders in the OEM folder called Owner Info and Device Identity

f) put the 3 files for each key into their appropriate subfolder from e)

Thanks again,

Scott
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
need help? anyone?

I've done exactly the same as above, except that I have put a random (out of my mind) GUID.

RGU files were saved in Unicode (later in UTF-16) format, the format of the registry was correct and exactly the same as in other folders. But I was always getting an error during the building process"

"Error creating Default.hv and User.hv registry files".

Please advise what I do wrong... Thank you!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Currently:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\MASD]

"MMS"="3_5_1_24C_R2"

Upgrading to 4.0 will be my next project. Splitting out the camera and MMS is gonna take a bit of work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
you might post the content of your .rgu so we can check it out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DeniaL:
Can you add a way to incorporate BIG STORAGE into this...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Can anyone post the version of VC? It hasn't been updated.

As for the addition of a reg setting, you can just add it to any .rgu that is going to be installed, such as OEMAPPS or whatever. Just make sure the syntax is correct.

As for what you're changing, I don't personally know. I've never looked at these keys :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Those tools are already incorporated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
I am playing around with the Owner info one also, and it is giving me problems also. The reg export contains a hex value and I think I must be doing something worng with that. Says something about cannot parse the ....dunno...

My cab works fine though.

On a slightly different note has anyone packged rabdo's excellent 1.5 Orange cab? (Rabdo?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sleonard:
Didn't you post it? In post 2 of this thread that was edited after the release of (I think) beta 3. I used it to replace the package included with beta 3. Or maybe there's an even newer one? Or am I totally confused?

Actually, I was more interested in verifying the steps to create a package for a registry entry than I was in those two specific keys. This looks like the easiest kind of package to create for the kitchen and as such seemed like a good place to start learning how to add my own stuff. In short, I'm a noob and was looking to be coddled. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rabdo:
I did convert it th OEM but had a couple of problems. To be honest I actually put my orange cab in ext_ROM along with a cab containing my owner info etc. and then make sure you check the box for running ext_ROM before you create the ROM with this package. This works just as well and allows you to make changes to the ext_ROM so you don't have to create a new ROM each time you want to change a few reg settings. I also use the ext_ROM to automatically apply my favourite theme after a hard reset / ROM flash.

ps. thanks for the support on my Orange cab!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I've split out the 3.5 and put in 4.0.31.21. I'm testing to ensure it builds okay, then will flash 4.0 to my phone. If it works, I'll post RC2 with the new Voice Dialer as well.

If that orange cab is posted here quick, I can include it as well. Let me know.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
As if by magic
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rabdo:
When you are testing MMS v4 could you check the two file types I mentioned earlier in the thread - .amr and .3gp - still cannot get these to work with v4.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rabdo:
I had problems with my cab in OEM format as it contains a file 'sms_providers.dll' so I was getting duplicate file errors because it is trying to replace a file which is already there - I am sure you have a way of getting around this though!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] yes2000:
Hi there

I really like your way for cooking, but can you tell me how i use some thing like shap's rom as base rom then add the application i want to it

the reason for this he hase some bugs fixed in his rom like usb and beam problem which i found in the rom you attached
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
yeah I had that issue as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bennec83:
there seems to be alot of errors with over writing files that exist, maybe there should be an option to choose which to keep instead of crashing out!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If that sms file exists and is key to one particular carrier, it should be moved to the carrier specific package. In this case, I only have AT&T, so apparently it should go there.

As for MMS - I am trying to resolve the .amr issue with 4.0. Tmail is the exe that handles the MMS process, however there are 90 modules assoicated with it. Determining if it's the exe or any one of the modules is turing into a royal headache. It won't be coming anytime soon.

As for the fixes not included in this rom, what are they? Post 'em and we'll fix the base rom. That's the point of this collaboration - we all make it better for everyone.

Edit: I'm just going to rebuild the base with 4.0. Who wants 3.5 anyway? Gimme a bit...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lokmeup:
Okay, figured it out. It seems that the Automatic feature in the Profile menu of the HTC Home plug-in is suppose to set the phone to silent according to your appointment schedule (Busy=Vibrate). Unfortunately, it starts setting it to vibrate at random times. The fix is to remove the Profile Menu item from the plugin. Attached are 5 button HTC Home plugin's WITHOUT the profile menu item. One in the original Black and white icons and the other in color.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gr8hifi:
something for just ME:

Is it possible to add the Camera application as a cab that can be DE-selected if desired? My phone doesnt have a camers, having the app in there ony creates cause for concern for the security folks... even though the phone doesnt have a camera, it kind of looks like it does. HTC just blanks off the lens instead of removing the body of the camera completely (the sensor is not there either).... figured it would probably be easy enough to make it so that by default the app is checked, but for me and the probably 2 other people in the world with the 8500, we could opt to NOT have the camera app installed.

just a suggestion.

btw, dont know if you want to add cab support for xpress mail. But, I found the xpressmail cab that works well with WM6. It's not bad for those that like it. It's located here:

You could just delete the camera icon from the windows/start menu and reassign the button in the setting menu.

A few things I've noticed testing this out.

1. HTC Voice Recorder doesn't open when executed

2. HTC Network Wizard pops up an error when executed (does not open). Sorry can't remember the exact error.

3. Odd one, if you don't install Windows Media Player, most ring tones are not listed under phone settings. It appears only .wav files are listed, ie. dogbark, alouette, and ding.

This is using the V3 RC1 release w/ 4mb pagepool OS.

Great feedback, thanks!

when at some point WMP was removed from a lite version of the black roms, it also had the same effect on ringtones.

I am not sure it was ever solved.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
No prob. Glad to help. I'll re-flash with Voice Recorder back on and *edit* this with the info.

*edit*

Re-flashed and now it does open directly from it's shortcut. Strange. But, what's a bit stranger is when I hit record it just closes. I'm trying to narrow down the issue, but I can't seem to find the cause.

I don't even use the program, so I'm not extrememly motivated to try too hard. But, I thought I'd at least pass on the observation. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
If I want to package up (say as an example) Phone Alarm, but also a second package that contains my custom theme and specific config options including the profile schedule, can I specify the order they will install in?

Basically PA will install with a config file, which, if I chose the custom theme, I will want to be overwritten with the new one. If I remove it from the main package however, then that will not function on its own?

Applies to a number of programs I want to package.

Would be grateful for any thoughts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'm flashing an entirely new setup now - borrowing heavily from Schap's rom - mainly because he already has the MMS 4.0 and Camera 4.0 split out and working. These will be options in the next build.

I'll flash a few tests before posting it later tonight (if all goes well).

Slowing down on flashed rom

I just flashed my first rom using your kitchen v3.3.

I tried both the 4mb and 10mb ROM but I get the same problem of slowing down when I'm on the Program menu where only a single icon will appear and the rest would follow suit after a minute or two.

I can't get a screen shot of it as all keys hang during the said slow down except the power button.

Anyone who knows my problem and any solution to it?

I still got a 44 MB STORAGE AND 20 MB PROGRAM.

Also since I flashed my first rom I wasn't able to receive bluetooth files. a note from the source would always tell me "Remote device does not support service." Could you help me out on this.

Thanks!

P.S. I've done my readings on bluetooth problems but none of it worked for this problem of mine..

Go get Shadowmites HTCustom and change the

GLYPHCACHE limt to 32,768.

See if that helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] csaunders:
This has been happening since v3.0 Beta 1. I have just recently noticed it. Like you, I don't think too many people use this program at all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Voice Recorder: It may be dependent on another program to work. I just cooked it into a test build for RC2 and it worked. I'll try and narrow it down. I don't use it either, so tracking functionality hasn't been consistant.

RC2 has GLYPHCACHE limt set to 32,768, per Schap's custom settings.

michaeljames_a - what is your list of programs? Are you adding anything additional OEM packages?

I should get RC2 out this weekend, and I expect it will be a significant improvement. I really want to get camera and MMS 4 out with everything playing nice together. I should have spent more time getting MMS 4 integrated sooner.

2 small bugs found

Matt:

It appears you cannot shut off the ir beam in any of the comm managers in the kitchen...maybe it's a missing icon? (I mean, it is shutting off, but the icon with the X in it isn't included?) If you press the beam icon, WM6 grinds a bit but the "on" icon just turns reinstates.

The timezone tab in the phone settings doesn't show up, even though I have verified the correct registry entry is installed in the build from the kitchen. The phone won't sync with the tower.

Other than that, awesome little package...thank you Matt!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Thanks for the info. It's gonna be a bit before the next rev rolls out. It'll be a major shift from this one, and I have lots of testing to do before posting the next beta. For now, either v3 Beta 3 or RC1 is an okay choice to try out, but v4 Beta 1 should be a significant step up. No ETA yet.

What's the error?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Ahh. Okay, so you need to have a main directory for everything. In the main directory you should have BuildOS.exe, CreateROM.bat, pkgcommon.dll, and.... Readme.txt.

Within that main directory, you need separate sub directories for OEM, ROM, SYS, and TOOLS.

It sounds like you don't have the folder structure set up probably.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Neverwork:
^^^Base Folder^^^

^^^Tools^^^

package did not come with OEM, ROM, etc...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
You need to download the OEM and SYS folders separately. They can normally be found as the FIRST download link in the first post under... "OEM and SYS Folders". ;)

Matt's updating those now, so they're not available for download at the moment.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Neverwork:
...i see...im just stupid :P

i figured the OEM and SYS folders were for people who wished to view what went into making the Pandora Kitchen or something haha

never thought much about that :P

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Nah, no worries. Don't forget to get the OS too. You won't have much to flash without that either. :)
