I downloaded ver 6.0 and unziped it.

Since it is not in a install format, how do I install this version?

DUDE!!!!!! This is a ROM kitchen NOT A ROM!!!! If you want to build your own ROMs this is what you need, if you just want to D/L and flash you need to go back to the thread list and find one you like!

you da man!

do you ever sleep? :) i just play around and i seem to use all my time on this stuff...

side note:

I'm going to try the new kitchen and see if this goes away... But I tried putting new copies of the ringtones without the space before the extension in the Windows dir, but it still won't let me select them in Sounds or get out of the screen, the sound selection just shows up blank...

so I guess renaming isnt the answer... any one know? i'm surprised that no one else is having this problem, i flash down to 2.26 then do a build off the kitchen and it always happens no matter what i select (gone through about 10 different configs that are all over the map) I can't figure out what I'm selecting that would do this...

No!!!!!!!!!!!! plz no megaupload plz!!!!!!!!! rapidshare is good enough for me :p

Thanks theloon!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Russ741:
That is the idea behind the kitchen, you can cook your ROM however you want it. If you are asking if any of us plan to post fully cooked ROMs, well you will have to wait and see. Personally I do not plan to post anything fully cooked, I have a ton of co-workers and friends with Wizards that want ROMs from me that should keep me busy for a month or so. That and theloon keeps adding new stuff for me to play with... my friends may never get a final build! LOL...

If you want to try your hand at building your own, go to the WiKi and read Faria's tutorial that is where most of us started.

Well, the kitchen worked fine and dandy. No crashes as of now. Nice work!.

BTW, Office 2007 is a must to have, so pleaser include it. Copying the 2007 files from 5.2.x was a workaround, but do include it

Ring tones

I know of two reasons why you could be having this problem and it seems that you have tried one fix. I know for certain the other issue has been eliminated in this kitchen. (Reg tweak)

Is it possible that you:

1) Or mixing older SYS with new Kitchen?

2) Are you just copying the new files and answering YES to replace existing files? If so this will not work!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ndn715:
thx for the input.

i started from scratch in a new dir with this kitchen so OEM, ROM and SYS folders. added the standard buildos createrom and the dll... so there were no temp files and i used the sys from this kitchen. i'm at a loss as to why this is happening...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
Check this! When running nb2nbf double check just below the "Output Selection" box where it says File #1, File #2 and so on and make sure it is referencing the proper file, it should be using the same folder as the Output Selection.

Rapidshare

OK I found out why I can not Upload to RS, my file size was too large (over 100 MB) Boy was I overlooking the obvious! So to keep this from happening again I will only upload the SYS and OEM folders this is where the changes take place anyway. All that needs to be done is add in the previous ROM Folder (6.0's ROM Folder) there should not be any problems with this procedure because, since I started using my "non beta" version the ROM, this folder has not changed.

Thanks a lot Theloon...getting now!:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Russ741:
a bug or not a bug? you decide...

hey all,

So I built a 6.0.0 ROM yesterday PM and the thing runs like there is no tomorrow, fast, error free, minimal battery draw (56mA most of the time) no issues at all.... until.... I tried to make a call using BT and VoiceCommand. For those not familiar with VoiceCommand... if you press and hold your BT headset button (Plantronics 665 in my case) you will get a tone from the phone and the little microphone icon pops up indicating the phone is waiting for you to tell it what to do... "call home", "Dial 123.456.7890" for example. Worked great in 5.2.5, now however if I follow the usual process the phone goes to the dial pad instead. VC from the phone mic/speaker works fine, just over BT does this occur.

So here is the big ? is this a M$ bug, a VC bug, or a ROM bug? I know my ROM was 2.2MB over the 58MB limit when I built it so this may be the root cause.

Any constructive input appriciated...

Russ741
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Russ741:
a bug or not a bug? you decide PT2...

Ok,

So, new build 6.1.0 same options, except for the compressed Office07 final ROM size 58.6MB, the BT problem is gone.

However, now the IE bug I had earlier is back. I can access the net for short periods then I get a pop up saying, the connection has been lost, please try again later. This test was on GPRS/EDGE I will try WiFi when I get home.

Oh and my favorite little annoyance is still present, Customer feedback doesn't seem to matter what theloon puts in the .RGU file to turn it off, it just keeps coming back.

@theloon... Hey thank you very much for putting in the auto time sync stuff, saves me a good 5 min after I flash. Since I flash a few times a day that is a major savings!

later all!

Just to keep trying things, I did this exact procedure on my home machine and then on my work machine with the same result. Also, I just did a bare BuildOS with the TouchFLO options checked with the same results...

I don't understand what I could be doing that different from everyone else... I've used plenty of kitchens and even messed with dumps and creating my own roms from scratch and never had this kind of thing come up.

theloon, what was the reg tweak you are referring to? i remember hearing about the fix with a few builds a long time ago, but I couldn't find it again. Also, should the ringtones have a space before the extension? And they should be in the \Windows dir not \Windows\Rings?

thx in advance for any help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Merlin_reloaded:
Interesting...

Am I the only one who is noticing an increase in bootup time?

My old 5.2.1 went from Poweron to usable state in 25seconds. With all the same packages, now it take ~45 seconds. Any Input?.

Related question: In the TouchFLO folder (without the cube), there is a stack of *.BRN files. Is it okay to kill them>?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Russ741:
You're not the only one Merlin, I see it too. I figure it's because the OS is now complete, what we were seeing before wasn't a valid timeline. Personally I would rather trade ~20 secs of boot time for a more stable ROM.

Russ741
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
Yeah! Don't you hate it when things just work? How often do you reboot just to see how fast she'll go? Good thing I don't try that with my wife. To disable customer feedback try deleting "ceipui.exe" before building, I did not want to delete it in case it served other purposes.

I am sure the BT issue is probably related to reg settings in a selected OEM package, a faulty radio Driver set(radio/gsm version) or Communication with service provider or even possibly memory overflow (full) which you wouldn't know about if you have error reporting disabled because disabling error reporting also disables the system from notifying YOU of an error.

SYS and ROM are pretty much identical between 6.0 and 6.1. (No reg changes).

I always try to keep my ROM size to the same size as the 80040000-OS.nb located in the ROM folder. ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Merlin_reloaded:
Well.....

Call me strange, but the 5.2.1 had a better boot time, which contributed to a better OOBE....I think.

Anyway, 6.0 seems perfect, and the last time I had to cold-boot was after school, and it was kinda irritating. I'll try poking around in the SYS folder and get rid of bloat.

P.S> Can I remove the *.brn files in /SYS/Touchflo DLL ? They seem a bit superfluous.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
Remove at will

S_ _T did I forget to do that again. Sorry I have had a lot on my plate lately, and yes you can! I tested it for a while and nothing seems to call on any of the files.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] khangozzy:
Thanks The Loon. I'm downloading now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Russ741:
@theloon, looks like you didn't forget in 6.1 I just checked there are no *.brn files in /SYS/TOUCHFLO DLL. :)

6.1 is running really well with the possible exception of missing some incoming calls. I used radio ROM 2.69.11 with Faria's fix not sure if the fix CAB took so I have re-run it just to see. If I keep missing calls I will go back to 2.19 radio ROM.

Russ741

Radios! Radios!

Please! Anyone using Cingular/ATT please try the radio that came with their phone or one for their network! You may not believe me but there is a difference. I have not missed one call, no connection problems, etc.

@Russ are you on T-mobile? if not, why the T-mobile radio rom?

@All the Ingenetics ROM Dump (designed for the wizard) has the 2.40 radio.

I want everyone to have as stable a release as I have!!!!!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Russ741:
@theloon... AT&T.. I am using the TM radio because the reports on the radio ROM thread indicated that it is much more stable than the stock At&T radio. I have been running with 2.19 for about a year with almost no issues. I tried the 2.69 radio after Faria endorsed it as very stable with better signal recovery after loss of signal. If you think the 2.40 is a better radio then I will give it a shot in the next build. The stock AT&T radio (i dont recall the version) had so many issues that I started playing with others.

Anyway, I'm still on 6.00, but will try out 6.1 today. 6.00 did NOT crash the wi-fi drivers, though the battery drains like crazy, which I believe is my battery's fault.:(

Ok, I took a look at welcome.bmp in OEMOPERATORS, and what is with the 213x320? Seems to me that It'd be better to have 240x320...

EDIT: TCPMP killed the Wizard with a PSOD (Pink Screen of Death). I've never seen that happen.

EDIT2: OK, wt*? TCPMP crashed WM6 6 times today. I was using the Youtube extension to watch videos off yt. This has to be the highest crash ratio since WM5. Maybe its a with TCPMP 0.72 (Using OS 6.0.0)

6.1 bugs....

1. Off2007 does NOT show up in Start Menu OR Programs. Seems to be missing initflashfiles.dat

2. Nothing so far
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] shadezero:
Office 2007 installed perfectly for me..It shows up and everything.

Tho, I am having a problem with 1-calc.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] masr1979:
I'm so far having no issues that I've noticed. Office is showing up fine on the start menu, didn't install 1-calc. I had to compress a few dlls and exes to fit some things which so far isn't showing any side effects.

I'm going to try and find a compatible camera package though, streaming media is an utter waste of space for me.

theloon why not include the new total commander beta? it's working pretty well and i've been using it a few days.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Merlin_reloaded:
Interestingly,

The rest works now. Must be a bad package/my error.

Anyway, I fixed the OFF2007 not showing up in the start menu/Programs by modifying the initflashfiles.dat from Off2003.

OK, WT* now? Several shortcuts seem to be missing from Settings.....man, I'm having a really bad day.

I'll try redownloading the wholesetup and see if anything happens.

!!!!!!!. ActiveSync fails! Man, something seems screwy here.

EDIT:FINAL: Everything works now. Musta've been something wrong with the archive.....the logs say there were a couple of messed up files. So far, very very stable. Wi-fi does not crash and burn. All that is left is the camera 4.0:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
For Ver7.0.0

Do you have the latest TC beta? which version is it? got package?

I'll try to get camera and streamer separated out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] masr1979:
I just downloaded it, extracted the files and over wrote the current package and it worked fine. In any case installer/cab is here http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=16509 version # is 2.5 public beta 3.

If you still need it, I'll upload the package later since I'm not in the PC where I have all my stuff at the moment.

About streaming media any particular reason you haven't tried the newer packages? but don't worry about the camera/streamer thing too much. It shouldn't be too hard to get something working :)

@Merlin

I'm guessing that messing around with the initflashfiles.dat might have contributed to your missing shortcuts. I think your best course of action is the one your taking, redownload and start from scratch. If it fails again try simply adding a initflashfiles.txt to the package instead of editing the ".dat". Good luck.

CreatROM.bat

I'm still getting a program error when running creatrom.bat. this occures on three differt computers (running vista, and two times xp)

happens when creatrom is almost at the end?

This has never happen to any other kitchen; I ran an other kitchen just for testing and that one goed smooth..

any ideas
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Russ741:
The createROM.bat is basically just a text file, so if you right click on it and select EDIT you can see exactly what it is doing and then figure out what is failing.

Russ741
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] daheufster:
Your right, I should have explained myself better: is is occuring near the end of the BuildImgfs operation. When running BuildImgfs.exe is running on every occasion the error occures when BuildImgfs.exe is building a differt file in the range where files start with the letter "W". So itn't just one file / module which is making the error.

I also tried making the rom less large; tought mayby the rom was to big, but this also wasn't helping anyting??

Anybody a bright idea
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] fyahstar:
download the package again and try building again. if your still getting errors then the ROM is too big. if you are including office 2k7, try 2k3 and see if that helps....

If your kitchen has a temp folder it should also create a log file within, if so look at the bottom of the log file to find out what error stooped the operation. If all of this is true cut and past the last lines of the log and we should be able to help from there. :confused:

I checked the size of my ROM, way too big at 65k. I will try the compression tool first, then strip stuff out to see how that goes.

one issue down... 4 to go

all,

I figured out why the weather XML file wasnt working. I think the correct acronym is.. OE.. Operator Error. When I built the Kaiser ver of the XML I put in an extra set of "". Had I built it in an XML editor instead of Notepad I would have caught it. Oh well, one down more to go.

Attached is the working XML, it is a VERY abbreviated list of US (only) cities.

On the "can't copy, move, etc" the XML I think that is related to my other issue where I can't run CAB files. theloon mentioned in a previous post that my ROM is probably too large (it is by 14M) so I think that once I fix that, the other issues will vanish.
