I bought G3 VS985. It lags a lot in gaming. I installed cloudy g3 2.5 to get better performnce. But still it lags a lot even in games like temple run 2 and subway surfers. My Antutu score is only 29k. I installed cpu float and noticed that during gaming 2 of cpu cores are turned off. And the rest of two are also working at low frequencies. Please help.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I have no problem playing games. I'm using [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] 's VS985 v2.0 ROM. Haven't played those two particular games so I can't report on them specifically. His ROM has a custom kernel so maybe it helps a lot.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
N.B. Disclaimer - try at your own risk - i am not responsible for anything that happens to your device.

Tools needed (all attached)

1. Winimage - open extended_rom.nb with this to view contents. (winimage is a trial but lasts 30 days of use i.e. only the days you use it)

2. Dark simpsons - Htc Rom Tool - use nb to make nbh for flashing

3. Dutty's tool - to extract os.nb (windows.nb) and extended_rom.nb from rom nbh file

(note os.nb can be left out if your simply modifying existing extended rom)

STEPS

1. Open extended_rom.nb with winimage - remove any cabs programs you dont want in your ext rom.

2. Extract config.txt to desktop - this gives instructions on which cabs etc to install.

3. Edit config.txt - add name of cabs in same format as shown

e.g. one i did for the touch but never used

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Customization_1.cab

LOCK: Disabled

RST: Reset

Second line is to install a cab

Lock enabled. lock disabled, rst reset always needs to be included.

4. Add cabs via winimage - inject or drag and drop

5. Delete old config.txt and inject or drag and drop new one.

6. Right click on cabs and config.txt in winimage and set 'read only' (other wise cabs will deleted from ext rom after install)

To resize extended rom - use Image - Change format

7. Save and exit winimage.

8. Extract windows.nb from your rom using dutty's tool (enclosed) - rename os.nb. (note os.nb can be left out if your simply modifying existing extended rom)

9. Open Dark simpsons htc rom rool -rom builder - choose artemis, select System - os.nb (nb see note in step 8), ExtRom - choose your extended_rom.nb

10. Save and rom tool will make Your rom.nbh

11. Then you can flash as normal with rom update utility.

Thanks to faria for images and info that i based this tutorial on.

I've included an empty (apart from config.txt) 2mb extended rom.nb that you can use and add files too.

Thanks Meschle !

And what about a new tutorial for newbies to make Roms ?

:D :D

Cheers!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Newbies should'nt be making rom :D

This is my theory for a newbie who has such ambitions - take this path.

1. Successfuly edit registry

2. Unlock and flash cooked rom

3. Cook extended rom

4. Learn how to make cab files

5. Decompile nbh into nb's and compile new nbh with different nb's

6. After these 5 steps are completed newbie will no longer be a newbie and ready to cook a rom - it doesnt matter which order thats done in its just a guide - also cab making is not absolutely essential but preferable.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] uniqueboy:
Hi Meschle, I will attempt to get to 3, so here's my question, is it possible to make items from the extended rom install onto the sd card or just the device? also, if the cabs are deleted after install, is the memory they occupied then free for storage? Thanks.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Hi uniqueboy - there is a way to force cabs to storage card using a xml cab - have not tried it myself for storage card but have for main memory - so really ext rom is for main memory only installation. If you do not put a read only marker on your cab its deleted but usually the ext rom becomes corrupted so nonuse-able.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sirgawain123:
hi meschle. Thanks for your tutorial.

is there a way to make a extended_rom.nb file from scratch (file,new) with Winimage by throwing-in cabs and config.txt and saving, with whatever parameters and naming as extended_rom.nb ?

I´ve managed to copy to desktop PC my extended_rom by using total commander, but from reading yor tutorial it seems that we need a ROM Dump to start with. If this is the case...would you please also tell us which is the simplest/safest way to dump a device ROM?

Thanks again
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Yes you always need an extended_rom.nb to start with - use duttys tools to extract all the nb's from the nbh - its quite easy.

I'll post the 2mb extended_rom.nb so people can use it as a template.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sirgawain123:
but how can we get our own device ROM dumped into an nbh?

WIKI refers to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1155823#post1155823

which deals with extracting just the extended rom nb from the device (in quite a complex way). I ´d like to dump the whole ROM NBH in order to get the ext rom nb by using dutty tools, and follow your thread.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sirgawain123:
Lets say i take your nb file, open with winimage, delete all your files, throw in my extended_rom files (copied to PC with total commander), and save....

Have i arrived to the same extended_rom that i have on my device?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
It is not easy converting a dump into a nb\nbh - i would strongly suggest getting hold of original rom if you can. You can make an extended rom using the nb i posted but you need the os.nb to make a flashable nbh - extended rom will not flash on its own.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sirgawain123:
This is config.txt from my stock ROM:

if i modify to read:

LOCK:Enabled

EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\HTC_Default.tsk

CAB: \Tarjeta de almacenamiento\MP_CVSDcpl_20060718.cab

XML: \Windows\MP_MMS3.5_HTC_Generic_Artemis_060818.xml

CAB: \Tarjeta de almacenamiento\PP_DefaultPage_WWE.CAB

XML: \Extended_ROM\PP_ExtVer.xml

CAB: \Tarjeta de almacenamiento\PP_CommManager_Patch_060808.CAB

CAB: \Tarjeta de almacenamiento\MP_ttn.cab

CAB: \Tarjeta de almacenamiento\PP_RemoveBTlnk.cab

CAB: \Tarjeta de almacenamiento\ST_PatchPeripheral.cab

CAB: \Tarjeta de almacenamiento\MP_TT6_Voice10_ESN.cab

EXEC:\Extended_ROM\ChgScutAttri.exe

LOCK:Disabled

RST: Reset

(Tarjeta de almacenamiento being Storage card in Spanish)

Could i get more memory in device by deleting those 7 cabs from extended_Rom and having them in storage card root, being automatically run (installed) on Hard reset?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
You could flash nbh with no ext_rom whatsoever or use smaller extended rom nb attached - but you still need original rom to do this. If you just delete the cabs out of the extended rom you have - it stays the same size - the nb is a fixed size.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sirgawain123:
That´s understood.

My question now is about flashing an extended_rom with a config.txt file pointing to cabs outside extended_rom (in storage card):

Would that do the trick?

The problem I see using /2577 folder as workaround is that it runs every time you insert the storage card (And i´m not sure if it also requires operator action for every cab being run)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
That will not work - cabs have to be in extended_rom.

Most of the cabs you listed will have no destination dialog so will install without any user input using the \2577 method - you could disable it until you needed by renaming autorun.exe to autorun.txt.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sirgawain123:
As there are lines in stock ROM config.txt pointing to windows folder...

(as CAB: \Windows\PP_CommManager_Patch_060808.CAB)

Perhaps you mean : "cabs cannot be in external storage"?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
I get your point - i've never seen anybody do that - it is probable that when the ext rom is initialized storage card has not yet booted and so it will not work. Worth a go though but device may just crash at that point.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sirgawain123:
Not me! (yet)

I´m a beginner who has never (yet) flashed/cooked/dumped anything!

(but learning fast thanks to you and others in xda_dev forums)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] fdp24:
meschle:

great tutor.

if i can make few comments, they might be useful for ext_ROM makers.

- you can flash just ext_ROM. no need to include OS in .nbh, you can have both, but it will just flash longer.

when you flash ext_ROM, device will be re-initialized after the flashing. consider as hard reset (save data before flashing ext_ROM). it is not the case for example when you flash radio;

- in order to flash ext_ROM, device should be cid unlocked or with USPL installed;

it was a question somewhere if it is possible to install sw (software) from Storage Card.

yes, you can install sw from Storage Card. card is already initialized when customization takes place (installation of ext_ROM).

please keep in mind following:

- to install sw from Storage Card, sw should be located on Storage Card;

- normally sw which you install, should be signed with certificate. if this is not the case then include Cert_SPCS.cab in ext_ROM and have this .cab to be installed first (first line in config.txt)

example:

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cert_SPCS.cab

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_AKv30-DefaultPage_ALL.CAB

..............

- use correct syntax in config.txt;

- sw still installed on main memory;

example: you wish to install BatteryStatus on Storage Card.

1. Copy BatteryStatusExt.1.04.build_0240.CAB to \Storage Card\Installs directory (this is example, could be any directory). i mean file should be on Storage Card in directory of your choice, before you flash the device.

2. include line in config.txt

CAB: \Storage Card\Installs\BatteryStatusExt.1.04.build_0240.CAB

your final config.txt will be something like this:

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cert_SPCS.cab

CAB: \Storage Card\Installs\BatteryStatusExt.1.04.build_0240.CAB

CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_AKv30-DefaultPage_ALL.CAB

XML: \Extended_ROM\PP_ExtVer.xml

EXEC:\Extended_ROM\ChgScutAttri.exe

LOCK Disabled

RST: Reset

please don't forget to use correct syntax related to your country ROM.

you can't use "Storage Card" on Russian, Spanish or French ROM, it will name differently.

guess what will happen if you forgot to install micro SD card before flashing? yes, it will not work :)

you will get error message during customization process and will need to re-flash ext_ROM again.

you can only have sw in ext_ROM which does not produce dialog windows after installation, otherwise it will not install.

re: there is copy command available, if someone need it. you can have it in config.txt.

CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Info.txt

CPY2:\Storage Card\Install\Info.txt

this will copy Info.txt included in your ext_ROM to Storage Card during customization process.

regards,
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Good info thanks! I have been meaning to edit the st concerning the os.nb inclusion.

If you already have an extended rom on your device then yes you can just flash extended rom, but if you don't you need to include os.nb in the nbh otherwise it will not flash. Most of the cooked roms here are os only roms so if you wanted to add an extended rom you'll have to include os.nb for it to flash.

Cheers for the input!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sirgawain123:
Then, if we have a piece of software which installs OK from extended_Rom,we can have it installed also from SD card!

So we are able to achieve same config as brand new, but with minimum Extended_ROM(no Cabs inside), getting more free memory!!!

and cookers of ROMs dont need to cook a new ext_ROM whenever an app that they include in their custom ROM is updated by the developer, as long as the updated Cab keeps original name!!!

This is getting more interesting every minute.

Question, I tried to open an (official) extended rom with WinImage from a Trinity. The first rom gave an error. The second was excepted by WinImage, but no files are shown.

I can’t see why this wouldn’t work. Any suggestions?

/edit

Looks like it's just an empty one. That is if ext rom's are fixed size?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Yes they are fixed size whether empty or not so use the smallest for your requirements.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] dan1967:
I must say that since I started to use the Extended_ROM for my own customisations its' dimension grew slowly from 2M to 9.25M (I still have .32M free) without any drop in performance or other bad side effects.

No extra storage memory!

Thank you Meschle for this awesome tutorial!

I followed your instructions step by step and successfully flashed a 2 MB Extended Rom on my Artemis. However, while some 12MB are freed up, I'm quite surprised not to see any effect on the storage memory (still 32.45 MB). I've searched the whole forum and Internet but nobody seems to encounter this issue.

What did I miss? Does it have something to do with the pagepool size?

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] meschle:
Can you give your total storage memory and free strorage memory. Pagepool affects program memory not storage. Yes the official htc has a rather large ext rom at 15mb so cutting it down to 2mb should free up 12-13mb.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] lalt:

I reckon you just used extended rom.nb to make nbh and flash - right?

You'll have to extract os.nb as described and add ext rom.nb to make a new nbh and flash - then the size of ext rom on device will change.

Is it what's called "cooking" a ROM ?

Thank you Meschle,

using the tools your provided and carefully following your instructions I was able to build a new WM6 ROM with a small 2MB Extended ROM, the latest Radio (2.98.90), and SPL 1.11.

Now there are 45.25 MB left for storage memory on my Artemis. It has never run so fast!

It needs to be said: if you try to gain some extra Storage Memory by flashing a small Extended ROM, then you should not bypass the 8th point of Meschle's great tutorial, i.e. include "Windows.nb" as well as your cooked "ExtendedRom.nb" in the final .nbh file even if you already have an Extended ROM on your device.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] NikMel:
Well, if you only need to have more storage then you can just remove software you don't need from the rom and if your rom file is to small to flash just go to this thread and followqs the steps there.

You'ill have more then 54 mb of free storage.

Are you sure about extended rom minimum size of 2MB?

I resized my extrom to 720KB (exactly fitted my needs) and flashed successfully with uncooked wwe wm6 OS. Customization worked after flash, and after hard reset too.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] lalt:
Browny, two questions for you:

1) How did you resize your Extended ROM ? I used Meschle's empty Extended ROM as a basis to create mine and as result it is 2MB in size even though there is only 900kB of data in it.

2) Have you noticed any decrease in battery life? After flashing my new Extended ROM it seemed the battery life was substantially shorter (less than 24 hours in normal use). The new Extended ROM does not seem to be corrupted (all files appearing and customization working).

Regards,

lalt

Edit - Found the answer to the 1st question: open the Extended ROM with Winimage, go to the "Image" tab, then click "Change format". Now you can select whatever "Standard format" you want.
