I am greatly disappointed that none of the great cooks from the wizard came to the hearld side. at least not yet like faria, molski as no one has released anything worthwhile yet. I remember the wizard days when almost every week there was a great rom to try. I hope something really good comes out soon. I guess maybe the restrictions imposed on the new HTC devices with unlocking and stuff have been turning people off.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] dkb218:
I think it was more the, "Hey you! You made this fricken rom and it's not working and you better fix it or I'm gonna have a fit and wet myself because you said It was gonna work..." type of responses they were getting!

alittle help please

after i installed the touch-it v1.1 rom n sum of my own programs that i need my program mem is way way to low so i was trying to remove sum programs in the rom that i dont need using hypercore kitchen to cook it but when i delete the folders for the programs i dont need n edit the initflashfiles.txt and edit or delete the .rgu n flash it to my phone the programs are gone but the phone doesnt function properly ike the htc home plugin wont install, network wizard wont run, my system and connection folders are empty and stuff like that...ive read the guide by mfrazzz on how to add/remove programs, hermes cookbook by sambartle, my way of cooking by anochillus, ive read all the guides that came with the hypercore kitchen and ive also went to the Faria kitchen thread and read the pdf document that describes the process of creating packages.... and nothings helped me so far so if ne1 has ne ideas please dont hesitate to post it :D...thanks in advance!!!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
well, depends on what you are deleting from the oem folder

theese you can safly delete:

htcwmp skin

magicSS

Networkwizard

TotalCommander

pimbackup

phm registrybackup

htc home

hibernate

batterystatus

With the others, I have removed stuff from original os, so if they are not in, you will get errors.

If you have a little patience, you will get a wwe with htc home, touchflo, touchdialer and kaiser 12b commManager and no apps installed.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] james105:
i do have patience n that would b awesome but at the same time i wanna learn how to do this cause not many ppl out there cooking roms for the herald so yea lol....but thats basically all i deleted and that still happened...but i didnt find em in the oem folder they were in the sys folder :confused: lol?!?!?

thanks for the reply!!!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
lol, yeah me silly, they go to sys :) and the settings goes to the registry...ou have to find all that belongs to a app :)

btw

I said 12 button comm, I ment 10 button :)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] james105:
lol i knew what u meant :) ...o ok then i wonder why then it still wont run properly correct me if im wrong but if the folder name is exact same as app then everything for it is in there right? n i deleted the rgu file for it and edited the initflashfiles.dat in OEM\OEM_Lang_0409 but still doesnt work properly.....man i have so much more respect for wut u guys do cause this stuff aint easy lol!!

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] james105:
thanks man....lol it was sooooo simple.....i jus basically forgot to update my os.nb file so it was flashing the wrong one now i've safely removed;

autoupdate, the games, hibernate, internetsharing, magicss, phm reg, pim backup, totalcommander, transcriber and im building a package to add the 6-button home plugin with the weather fix and taskmanager 2.....jus gotta fig out how to build packages so time to do sum reading :D lol!!!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Question:

I've gotten to the part where the sys and oem folders have been moved over to the build folder, but I dont know where to add the new cab files to.

The documents state to either place them into the sys or oem, but when I try to rebuild, I'm always missing or have extra files.

Can you or someone type up a more clear instructions as to how to cook a new rom.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] james105:
im not great at it but from my understanding u have to cr8 it in2 a package and move it into the oem folder...u can get a more detailed explanation here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1457844&postcount=180and here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=303406&highlight=Faria+kitchen

Has anyone been able to flash their image using the flashing process built into the rom??? I seem to be having troubles with that and was only able to flash after using an old pdaviet rom. Not sure what the problem is as the methods of flashing are exactly the same...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] kennyidaho:
For clarity purposes there is several places in the batch files that refer to:

CD: /../

Do these sections need to be edited as well?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
yes, you must edit them too, well, atleast I did :)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] anichillus:
Yes, everywhere where there is this sentence : "cd /"(/ right after cd) you'll have to remove the /.

hey guys i am having a really big problem. i cant get the rom to extract. it starts cleaning the rom but it doesnt break it down into the packages. when i attempt to go onto the second step in extracting the rom and it cant find it. if someone could help me it would be awesome.

my MSN is zacwhite15@msn.com if someone would be willing to help me out with this.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] xavier6303:
Ok, I think its time for me to enter the world of cooking. Now, I have looked over the instructions and I am stuck at the first step. The instruction state to place the "ROM" file into the extract folder. Is the "ROM" file the .exe or the os.nb? This is probably an obtuse question but I'd hate to assume I know what it is since this is such a sensitive process. If anyone can help me locating a "ROM" file for extraction that would be great. I've extracted the .exe for the Herald but can't locate the os.nb.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT*** Well, I figured everything out with a bunch of searching and reading. Thanks to everyone involved in making such a useful tool.. I flashed my first build this afternoon. Its basically the Tmobile rom but I disassembled it and reassembled it and flashed it. Now I am stripping it down to the essentials!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] trallala:
Need also help

I try to cook my own rom, but I don't succed. I don't know what I do wrong.

As a test I took itjes os.nb , extracted the packages, rebuild the rom and tried to flash it. Interesstingly, the size of the rebuilded os.nb is less than the original rom (60800 KB vs.61184 KB) After flashing my p4350 stays in boot screen, although there were no error messages. (When I flash itjes original rom, everything works fine)

Basically I do all the step mentioned in the guide of mfrazz on how to add/remove programms except for Step 7 (Update files in SYS directory with changes) and I started with copying itjes OS.nb in Hypercore\Extract\ folder.

As Step 9 I ran "BuildOS" Option1 (Start BUildOS), Option 2(Create OS.nb) and Step 3 for flashing. (Before flashing I installed the ASBergPolicies.cab to my device).

Everything works without errors, but my device stays in the boot screen. So what do I do wrong???? Any ideas???

Thank you very much!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] zacwhite15:
does anyone happen to have the sys and oem folders for itjes build??
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] xavier6303:
Hard Reset...
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] trallala:
Sorry, I wasn't precise... After flashing I perfom a hard reset and then my device stays in the boot screen (white screen with htc logo).
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
You cant cook on those releases, I removed .rgu (register entries) when i build them. So you can easily just delete all oem, sys and rom folders extrackted from touch-IT, unless you can find all the rgus and add them from somewhere, but I think I would rather build a new os from scratch then start that hunt ;)

Q: Why do you remove the rgu? are you such an asshole that you wont share?

A: Removing rgu saves aprox 1.2 mb on storage. And because I didnt make those roms so that other can remove some bootscreen, make a new theme, change some apps and call it theirs. (yeah it happens, some ppl just steal..)

But when thats is said:

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] trallala:
Hi itje

thanks for your explanation. At least now I know why it doesn't work (and stops giving me headaches :) )

Maybe I will try some other rom just for getting more experience with cooking....
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

If you want to play with adding and removing apps from roms, just use the Tazio_TOOL. I've been able to rebuild roms, but unable to create short cuts for added apps.

Either way, I'm able to add a bunch of apps to any rom and then rebuild it and then create the short cuts after the rom has been flashed.

I'm not here to steal any body's rom, I'm just here trying to learn how to create a rom with all apps needed for my daily life and work.

I'm not a developer, just a computer geek who enjoys messing with roms for his phone. The developers on this forum do a great job by sharing their roms and hard work. But then that's what a forum is for, sharing and learning from each other.

I might not know a lot about cooking a rom, but I can sure fix a enterprise server when it's down.

Thanks for reading,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
yes, this forums is about sharing knowlege, and to learn from eachother.

I do not claim that you steal my rom, I dont know why you even had to comment on that. To extract someones rom is no big deal, but doing some small changes to someones hard work, and releasing it and claim its their hard work (dont always have to be a rom, can be apps and progs too) well, that sucks.

I dont care what you do to the rom, edit as much as you want, but you cant release a rom based on it and say hey I made this....... The day that happens, my roms go down, and no more releases.

If ppl wanna build amazing roms, that is just right, learn it like everyone else..the hard way

adios
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

I think you misread my post, I never said that any body claimed that I stole any one's rom.

I have never stolen any bodys rom.

My main point was not directed to any one, just to the forum in general. Only if this forum was more like open source it would even be better than what it is rite now.

Look at Linux, it's gone from some thing one person reprogrammed into a major OS that pretty much rules part of the internet (Web servers).

I've only been using this forum for a short time, but have notice that there are very limited number of how-tos.

Most of the posting are missing steps or just not complete.

It takes a very long amount of time going from one post to another just to figure out some thing that ends up taking a few mins to do.

Either way, I was not trying to say any thing about any one, just speaking my views of xda-developers.com in general.

Thanks,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] itje:
misreading is what internet is all about ;)

I never said that you said that any body claimed that I stole any one's rom......... :D

This forums is quite open, and all the info you need is here, but yes its hard to find. most ppl here share just about everything, but we also like to keep some stuff to ourself, so that what we make, kindoff makes our stuff "our stuff" if you catch my drift :)

I started out with knowing nothing about building roms, the knowlege I now posess is because I spent/spend alot of time reading all over the forum, picking up piece by piece, gathering what I know.

The problem with sharing, posting in.ex a tutorial, a how to, is that you get tons of pms and emails from ppl who wanna be tutored in every step, belive me, it can be annoying. Not that ppl mean to be annoying, almost everyone is polite, and are mostly in need of help. I wish I could help out mutch more, but from experience I know that when ppl ask once, they ask 10 times more after that. and when 20-30 ppl do that, its to much to answer.

Ofcourse one can say that if every step is pointed out in a tutorial, ppl wont ask so mutch, but they do anyway, but im quite sure nobody feel that they are a part of that when they ask, and many are new and dont know. So when they ask, and dont get answers to stuff that is posted in entire xda forums, and answered in 10 times that more pm's, you just get to a point where you ignore, because you think...I have allready answered that 100 times past 2 months.

Thos who has made a tutorial, knows thsi for a fact, they post to share, and try to ease up on the questions, but they dont become less, it becomes mutch more.

The more we share, the more questions we get. We do our best with the resources we have, and we allready give quite a lot of hours so that you all can benefit from it.

I recently posted that im gonna make a easy tutorial, and already 20 ppl has asked for it, when is it finish, can they get a short version on pm, because thay wanna start right now, because they need to. Thats ok, but I dont have the time to do so. I cant jump everytime someone shout jump, then i would be jumpin all day long :p

how shall I answer a post like this:

I downloaded your rom, how to I unpack it, if I give answer, then a new pm, it dont work, what i do wrong, pls help me. How can I know how to help then?

Unfortunatly I delete 90% of those, im sure some ppl might be offended, but hey, sorry I have limits too, like everyone else.

I like to contribute, and I wnt to share most of the knowlege I have, but I dont feel ready for that yet, I do as you claim is wrong here, I share bits and pieces.

and yeah, some stuff takes only minutes to do, thats because when you know how to, everything is easier then before you knew nothing.

enough rambling from me...

cheers
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Thanks for taking the time and providing your feed back and yes your correct, this is enough rambing for this topic.

Once again, thanks for your rom and hard work.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] LordPhong:
I actually think this is a great post even though I disagree with it. I think a lot of tutorials are like software. This is what I can compare to since I'm a software developer. Whenever we make a software, we try to make it as intuitive as possible so the user doesn't open so many issues. No matter now hard we do this, there will ALWAYS be questions about this and that.

I really don't understand the point of making tutorials and leaving out stuff either but what the hey. U want ppl to learn the hard way like you did. That's good in a way but ppl can always make things better than they already are. that's just call evolution (of anything). Someone comes out with a Hypercore for ROMs. U write a tutorial that explains everything. Someone else finds a way to combine steps to make life a little easier. Things become easier for EVERYONE. No matter how much high level language programming evolves, there will ALWAYS be assembly. At least that's what I think.

well, that's enough of what i think. sorry if I offended anyone in the process.

ITJE's guide didn't exist when I starting taking ROMs apart, unfortunately.... and by the time it was released to cook stuff, I had already started my kitchen.

I don't know if the extracting problem people were running into was every fixed, I know this is kinda a dead thread but I was looking to get into cooking and came acrossed this, if theres a more recent version than the 1.0.1 someone please forum pm me... but,

Heres how I fixed the error locating OS.nb on Win2K.

Edit batch file: Core\Batch\Extract Dump.bat

Ctrl+F for :NB to jump to

Original says "cd Extract", right under the line that reads "SET /P pause=Press [ENTER] when ready."

I changed CD Extract to where the OS.nb file was actualy located, to make it easy I put the hypercore folder in c:\ and just put "CD \HyperCore\Extract"

Hope that helps someone >_<

Hi all, new guy to the forums. After rooting my T211 (4.1.2) via Odin and with TWRP and SuperSU, I started to remove some of the bloatware that Samsung sticks on the tabs. everything was working great until I rebooted one day and then the wifi and bluetooth stopped working. I've flashed the 4.4.2 in preperation to flash a custom rom, but it seems no matter what I do, the wifi and bluetooth issue remain. Can anyone help me with a zip to reinstall the wifi and bluetooth? or an instruction on how to do it? I have the 4.1.2 rom as well as the kitkat rom from italy and a few custom roms. If I knew how to make a flashable zip and which apks and such to use I would be happy to do it myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, James.
