Hi There...

Well, I'm feeling extremely satisfied with 8.0 version. I'd say that is running fine for 24hrs and very smoothly. really NICE!!!:D

I'm now debuging some settings to become more personall! :p

Regarding your issue related to activesync, I've been facing this problem much earlier than you can imagine!:mad: I'm really pissed off cause til now no clues yet...but hey!! On my opinion and expertise, this problem isn't related to 8.0. I've been getting this error since earlier versions using Theloon or another kitchen or even a customized rom.

I also put a post to Microsoft Mobile developing division directly to a MVP mobile guy as a challenge cause I really discarded all known information I have tried to get activesync syncs.

As far as I know, it could be many open possibilities around it. It can be SPL/SPL for instance. Once I upgraded mine to 3.08, the problem has gone! It didn't happen anymore!

BTW, theloon I realized that Windows Live is the old one asking you to agree to share your contacts. I'll be playing with the newest one cause this feature sucks!

....and in case my experiment success, I'll release it ok?

Up to now, no major issues...I'm still testing out!

HTC album and screen align are both running great! Nice builts! Only the HTC screen align is missing its icon. I'll try to fix it.

Great day to all!;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Thanks for the reply epimazzo. I don't think it has to do with the 3.08 IPL/SPL though because I always include that version in my nk.nbf so my phones at that version now. I'm going to try reflashing it again and see if it happens again. Hopefully it's just a bad flash this time. I really wish I could figure out the ringtone thing though becase it happens every time.

Update: just flashed back to 2.26 (didn't have either problem) and then flashed back to the new one and still have both problems. Time to try cooking another ROM.

@theloon

still having the problems with any other apps installing, like the Reg editor, idk what its doing different :confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
It's not that they aren't getting cooked in to the ROM, it's that the link isn't getting placed in the programs menu. Just navigate to the windows folder, create the link yourself and then put it in the windows\start menu\programs folder.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
Links are just "abcd.lnk" right? And what else exactly was needed in the link file? Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Just use file explorer and click and hold on the file you want to create a link to (such as PHM RegEdit) and a menu will pop up with the option to create a link which it will do for you then on the link it creates click and hold on it and select cut and then go to the windows\start menu\programs folder and click and hold on an empty space and click paste link (it may just be paste, I can't remember for sure right now).

Actually, now that I think about it, the link should already be there for you when you go to the windows folder so you don't even have to do the create link part.

Please submit bugs

If you tell me which ones don't have shortcuts I will fix them, but in the meantime I will do some investigating myself. Some of these package are from mattr_k's old kitchen leftovers and may not have been bug reported. I would like to fix them all!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Just got done cooking a whole new ROM and still have both problems.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
The only one that I know of that does it is PHM RegEdit.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
I just did a search on my PPC, and it seems that (most) of them are in there, just not in a specific place if that makes sense.

i.e. WM5torage.lnk, not under Start Menu\Programs

Still looking for the others that I installed, I'll let you know if anything else comes up.

EDIT: Still seems these certain programs won't install for me:

ALT Tab

Sprite Backup

Start Clean

ArcSoft MMS

any of the Duo Touch apps, the phone pad is recognized in Input screen, but cannot be selected

all of the Office apps were installed, but I only checked Word 2007 standalone and One Note Mobile.

and the HTC Camera option
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Noonski:
Aren't settings for incoming call under Start > Settings > Phone?

Or on the HTC Home Plugin Profile tab you can also choose to set the ringtone (at least if it's version 2.0.8)

Check if there are Registry setings for the ringones in provxml files, rgu and default.hv and user.hv that are double or triple. Wich Base Rom are you using?

Or are you recooking a custom Rom?

PHM Registry Editor did not have a initflashfiles.txt (instructions for shortcut placement) although it does have the shortcut file.

Instructions to fix as follows: (initflashfiles 101)

1) Navigate to the PHM Registry Editor folder in OEM and open it.

2) Right click on an empty area and a context menu will appear choose New> Text Document and name it initflashfiles.txt.

3) open the newly created initflashfiles.txt and paste in this code:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("PHM RegEdit.lnk","\Windows\PHM RegEdit.lnk")

4) choose file > save as and then select Unicode. You will get a dialog box asking if you want to replace the existing one, choose YES.

You now have initflashfiles.txt that will create a shortcut in the programs folder for you!

If you want a program in another directory like "Extras" the first part of the code should read

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Extras"):-

If you take a look at the initflashfiles.txt in the WM5torage 1.75 folder you will notice that the first part of the code is

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories"):-

that is where you will find the shortcut! You can change it to whatever you like.;)

I hope this helps!:D

Cooked yet another ROM and still the same 2 problems. 1. Can't change ringtones and 2. Activesync tries to continuously sync until it finally gives an error saying that it can't sync but still allows me to explore my phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] someyungguy:
Cooked two roms with ver8.0 had no problems. Everythings running great except still can not get the HTC voicerecorder to play back a file? Have had same problem with this app forever. Has anyone had sucess with this or is it just me? Thanks to TheLoon for your continuing effort.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Toniza:
Where can I found a link to download this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
If you are using an oem package from another source look in it's rgu for fdrm and remove any referance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
Try the first post!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
Yes, it really does! I'll try to figure out what to change for everything else now and see if those other programs want to install before I bug you again :p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Thanks for the reply theloon, but all my packages are straight from the kitchen. The only thing I did somewhat differently was to remove the MMS and camera background images (the dog, that big headed smilin guy, etc) and the HTC album help file images that show you how to use it, from the dump file. That was it this time, but on previous attempts I've also removed all the .rgu files. I've had ROM that have worked before with no problem doing that though.

HTC Album

One major problem I had with my 7.x ROM was that HTC album did not work...so is it fixed?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
I don't think so. I've rebuilt and flashed a ROM with this and a few apps that I wanted in, but none of them installed, unless that's just me. But the cab that I used works.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
Hope you guy's can figure this one out!

For some reason HTC Album OEM works just fine for me, NO CAB REQUIRED!

I'm starting to wonder if it is the version of kitchen tools you are using.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nycelitemaster:
Nice to see you got it to v8 theloon, i am back :D i was so bz in work and psp project LOL, now i am back too. I will be making new rom with your kitchen, if you dont mind can i release it here on xda? and as usual i never forget to give credit to all the testers and chefs and others :). I will be working on this today and hopefully tomorrow and by the end of tomorrow, i will have something... i want to see how this v8 is compare to v6 i have :D.. can't wait to test it out, i am pretty sure as usual it will be alot better :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
Well seeing as how I dont cook (mainly because my ROMs end up freezing on the splash screens), I'll mainly just provide support and info if anyone is willing to help me along.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
Help is on it's way!

Damn! I will make it my personal goal to get you up and running! Do you mind if I get Russ to help?:confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
Please do, Release away! Just remember the Duo stuff is fairly unrefined and still needs work so if you include them be ready for feed back. I had the camera 4.11 working to the point that the biggest hurdle was a dpad error and when I went to fix it, I screwed it up again but I am, if anything, determined.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] b.mann:
I don't care at all, just as long as I can get it to flash with all the programs that I do want and without the ones I didn't want. I'm gonna be busy for a while, but I might try to flash it with HyperCore kitchen later this week, how it's running now is ok.

Version 8.0

Thanks Loon,

Just built a new rom with 8.0.

I love the Office Essential Apps, because I only use Notes.

Looking forward to trying Internet Sharing when I get home.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cybersphere01:
I want to have all my shortcuts placed into folders in the programs menu when I create a rom. I can get all the 3rd party apps shortcuts to install in folders, but I cant figure out how to get the 1st party apps like windows live, file explorer, calculator, notes, ect to install into anything other than the main programs folder. I can create initflashfiles.txt files to create shortcuts in other folders, but I end up with duplicates. Does anyone know what I have to edit to get the 1st party shortcuts to only install into individual folders? For example, if anyone has installed the TNT roms you will see that the programs menu is neatly organized and applications are placed into folders.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Ok, here's the $64 question, between 7.2 and 8.0 I've cooked probably close to 40 ROMs by now and only 3 of them have I not had the ringtone not sticking problem. The one thing they all had in common is that I cooked them without camera 3.3 in them. I've tried pulling virtually every other app in it, one or two at a time to see if anything else would work and removing the camera app is the only one that works. So, any idea why that would be?

One other question I have is in cool camera, since I can cook it in to my ROM's and still have them work, are the settings and other controls supposed to work or are they dependent on the main camera app? - Nevermind this question, they seem to be dependent on using the D-pad for selection instead of using the touch screen. At least I figured that one out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:
If I am getting this right it is the camera app that is giving you problems when Incorporated.

Please zip and post the exact camera OEM package you are using and I will debug!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] epimazzo:
I'm now almost close to finish my newest version using 8.0 and didn't face any issues with ringtones. But there's one common thing related to this fact: I've been using Coolcamera in all packages instead of camera 3.3 or other. So, maybe we should have a look on your particular OEM package.:p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] epimazzo:
Theloon,

Have you seen your PMs?

Thanks a lot!:cool:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:
May I step in for a moment? I'm sure the problem comes in when you try to use the registry settings for DRM. Those are normally in the camera package. For some unknown reason the ringtone will freeze unless those registry entries are deleted. Zip up the package you are using and post it and I'll take a look tomorrow. Figure this one out and I'll give you a trip to Oz.

New icon for HTC Action Screen EXE File

Guys,

I don't know if all of you have realized that the action screen EXE file comes with an empty or default icon on it which is completely poor in terms of visual at least for me!:p So, I changed the icon using a third app to a new visual icon converted from a PNG pack. Thanks Nothin for this!:D

It's working fine on mine built. Just replace the old one doing a backup first and disneylandia on your next cooking movement! Enjoy!:rolleyes:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
It's the one straight out of 7.2 and 8.0. I haven't added any of my own packages in at all. I can still zip it and post it if you like though, no problem. I kind of like cool cam now that I figured out how to adjust the settings.

At the moment, I'm trying to work out the other bug that I seem to always have where AS looks for changes continuously for about 5 min and then gives me an error. So far I've found and removed 3 different inbox.mst...'s and found that the DTPT key from HKLM\comm\RNDISFN1 was completely missing for some reason so I added that back manually(nevermind, I'm a moron, that key doesn't go there anyway). This isn't that big of a deal though to me since I don't sync anything and I can still explore my device even after it throws up the error, it's just the fact that it does it that bothers me enough to try and work out what's up with it.

having trouble getting mms application

I used version 7.2 and cooked a variety of different roms for some reason I am having trouble with the mms on this versioneverything goes fine but after it starts up no mms please let me know if I am doing something wrong the roms from this kitchen are awesome
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
Hmm, I didn't even think about checking that. I just opened up my messages and I don't have MMS either. That's another thing I don't use and could care less that I don't have it. I'm just confirming brorex's problem.

By the way, the original 3.18 MMS is the version I cooked in to my ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] brorex:
I have tried both mms applications with no luck but everything else works awesome :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
I just cooked 1 more ROM just to make sure that it was the camera app causing the problem with the ringtones and this makes 2 in a row with no camera 3.3 and ringtones that work.

This time I put in the new MMS and MMS does work for me this time. Still have the AS problem. I can always permanently fix that one by adding the guest only registry key when I get sick of looking for the cause.

A couple minor bugs that I've run across tonight also, the time manager doesn't work and the HTC Action Manager closes itself if you don't touch it for 5 seconds (I'm not sure if that's a bug or if it's supposed to do that though).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] brorex:
which of the camera app are you using Ive tried 3.3 and camera + streamer with no luck on the mms not to much of a fan of cool camera:)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] xeno1:
I've used camera 3.3 and it always works, it's just that my ringtones stop working when I use it. I've never tried camera + streamer. Cool camera doesn't seem all that bad once I figured out how to adjust all of the settings.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] theloon:

Thanks theloon. I just had a thought, is it possible that the camera app is taking over audio from wmp somehow causing the ringtones not to play? I noticed that in the rgu file it had quite a few registry settings for audio playback and recording.

Nevermind, your post wasn't there when I first started typing this.

Woohoo, thanks loon. Just flashed a freshly cooked ROM with the rgu changes and now I have both the camera 3.3 app and ringtones that work. I still have the problem with AS continuously looking for changes though, so if you have any thoughts on that I'd love to hear them. I've pretty much exhausted all of the usual fixes, including trying trying every fix that I could find that was related to anything even remotely close to the error I have posted on http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs.htm with no luck what so ever.

Help a kitchen newb

Sorry guys, checked some of the other kitchen posts, searched, but I am still stuck. Long time Wizard flasher, first time cooker. I d/l'ed both parts and extracted both to create subdirs and files under a \Temp\Kitchen directory tree. Then I run the v1.2.bat file, and select options in BuildOS. Then it does its magic and spits out a 62MB os-new.nb file, I believe, and tells me to close BOS. I do that, and then I believe is when it launches an app and allows me to select the Build, CID, start address, etc. I think this is where I mess up (if I haven't already with the sheer size of the .nb file).

I then input something like 7.7.7 or 8.8.8 into the versions info and try not to put anything else in. It errors on me and tells me the start address should be 8000000 to something. I put in 8000000 and run it again and it spits out the .nbf file and asks if I am ready to flash. When I try to flash, it aborts at 2%, and says something about a connection error (though I never have connection errors on USB and flash all the time). Kills the phone and I have to hard reset and flash another ROM.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] charly_mx:
Your ROM buils is too big. For better results try to remove apps and try no to cook ROMS over 59 Megs. They ROM you are trying to cook is too big and thats why is crashes. :)

Quite better my friend. The other icon is just way to lame.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cybersphere01:
Your rom should be around 56mb anything over this will either not flash or flash with errors. Also, when you are converting the rom to nbf you need to use start address I put in 80040000...dont know exactly how many zeros are at the end but just put 8004 and fill the rest with zeros. dont worry about the version all you really need is the language.
