Well a couple of things. I personally don't have a HTC Touch, just a Touch Pro, so I am unable to do any testing or debugging for you. I also use 21234 for my personal ROM, so I don't have much experience with problems you may encounter with leaked beta code from Microsoft. I use 21234 because that is the official release of Windows Mobile 6.5. When we start seeing ROMs from HTC, SE & LG in the next few weeks, they should be based on 21234.

With that said, I whipped up a copy of WM 6.5 23034 QVGA for the ELF. Does somebody want to give it a try? If it works I will upload the kitchen for you folks and tell you how I did it.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] liho19:
Thanks trueg

It works well. I'm waiting for your new kitchen.

How do you change all XIP & Sys.

I want to learn how to do yours.

My English is very bad

Thanks trueg to great work.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] trueg:
Well here you go.... http://www.myunspace.com/?d=FA295BFB1

This is an updated version of the kitchen with 23034.

I downloaded 23034 from here.. http://rapidshare.com/files/2701194...2-4081-LANG-0409-DPI-96-RESH-240-RESV-320.rar

Process I used to update the kitchen with 23034.....

- Backup kitchen

- Delete ElfinK_WWE\ROM\XIP\MSXIPKernel

- Delete everything from ElfinK_WWE\SYS\ except .VM & WinCENLS_WWE

- Copy MSXIPKernel from 23034 to ElfinK_WWE\ROM\XIP\

- Copy everything else from 23034 to ElfinK_WWE\SYS\

- build ROM

Cheers,

TrueG

thankx for the awesome kitchen. finally i found one that works with the build 23034 which i been trying to make for so long.

i jus wana ask a resolution problem...

if you observed the screenshot posted by liho above your post....you can notice the start menu and the OK buttons are way out of resolutins....for elfin i mean

i m trying to find the fix...jus brought to your kind attention...pls lemme know...which file is at problem here

thankx again for your ingenuity in bringing out this kitchen jus like that...i had pm'ed quite a few and some of them were very "as i wud say" not too sharing...maybe they didnt know this is a community...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] trueg:
Well Kokotas and Bepe are to thank. You should also be able to use a stock Platformrebuilder kitchen using the method I described a few pages back. Kokotas's kitchen is nice because he added a few batch files that simplify things.

As for the graphics, they appear to be the correct size. I made a comparison photo attached to this post that compares a VGA screenshot to the QVGA screenshot above. The graphics appear equal in size. What appears to be wrong is the font size. The font size within the graphic (Contacts for example) is too big.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
okay i will check if setting the font size would rectify the problem...

and yep...its all thankx to the true xda developers who have created all the kitchens and tools....i m sorry i left out their names...you all are appreciated...thankx again

Hi All,

- As I mentioned earlier, I am able to build a WM 6.5 ROM based on 21234. It is working fine.

- However I am facing a strange issue that :

1. I am unable to pick the call if phone is locked.

2. If I change the setting of lock screen as "Windows Default" then I am able to pick the call properly.

3. In case the phone is unlocked, I am able to pick the call irrespective of lock screen type (i.e. default vs classic).

4. I have removed CHome*, WMWidgets, WMLiveSearch, WindowsLive, WindowsLiveIM, WelcomeCentre, OneNote from the SYS.

Any idea what must going wrong here?

- Also I have included advanced config tool in the ROM. But when I open it, it bails out with error that : This .exe requires a later version of .Net than the one install in this device.

Any idea how to overcome this?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] honcorrd:
That was simple, i already download all parts from Da_G thread and read, but was confusing. Then i start experimenting with the oficial release 21234 and build my roms, i thinks i will stick with the oficial and polish myselft with that and then play with the betas, now i know how to do it, thanks a lot TrueG
[Touch GSM ROM Development] svprm:
@chota_shivaji

What locking software you are using?

Advanced config tool require .Net 3.5

Install it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
- I am using the Lockscreen, Lockscreen_DPI_96, LockscreenNonEA that comes with SYS.

- Please note that I have removed CHome* related folders as I want WM 6.5 + M2D. Could this cause the issue oberved?

- I figured out that Advanced Config requires .net 3.5. Thanks for confirming.

- I got it from the 23030 SYS.

Really clean WM6.5 Kitchen SYS 21234

Hi,

has somebody out there (maybe honcorrd?) a really CLEAN WM6.5 kitchen SYS 21234 (official MS build)? Really CLEAN = removed EVERYTHING, that CAN be removed. I know, that I can make it alone, but if already someone made it, why do it second time...

I think problem with Phone canvas.

Phone Canvas 3.0 does not work properly with Windows Lock screen.

Use S2U2 for locking.

Question

First, I would like to THANKS Trueg for the Kitchen.

Second: I am using both XIP and SYS from 23041. Deleted everything from SYS folder in Trueg's Kitchen, with the exception of .VM & WinCENLS_WWE

Can someone please look at my screen and tell what I did wrong?

Also, I notice the icons are not the same 23041 + still rectangular shape instead of oval.

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
i had the same issue with build 23034 and the start menu icon and X icon being too big. trueg mentioned its something to do with font size...but now i think its more than that...

btw i m trying the new build 21840 and its the most stable build i have found so far...i will post some screenshots and maybe upload the rom later...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] :
Hey, long time my friend. How have you been? Yes, 23041 has so many bugs.

When I installed other programs. These icons are blurry, like wrong size or something (they are indeed larger as well)

Mind posting SYS and XIP for 21840?

I've decided to revert back to 23009 built. It is the most stable, and not power(battery) hungry. With this new 23041 built. I had a full charge this morning, and by 2pm, it was 20% juice left.

- I tried to build a ROM with 23009. My aim is and was : WM 6.5 + M2D + Custom applications - Titanium.

- All was fine except after scrolling the start menu page it was messed up i.e. the icons blended with each other to the point where it was impossible to detect visually which icon below to which applet on the screen.

This is just FYI as I am quite new to cooking and might have messed up the kitchen unknowingly.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
its not caused by you nor from your kitchen..this build has some unknown bugs. i had face the same issue....one icon on top of each other....i havent figured why this is so...

- Hey Thanks for the update.

- BTW which is the known, stable WM 6.5 build? I believe its 23004 (used by vadyarik in his ROMs).

- I tried searching for its SYS/XIP, but got the invalid link.

My aim is :

1. WM 6.5 (21237 : SDK version released by MS) + M2D + Custom Applications - Titanium

2. WM 6.5 (Latest known stable build) + M2D + Custom Applications - Titanium

hey guys i just build a rom with some htc mega package, but when i flash everything work well except for the mega package, they don't show up. Do i have to put the oem.cer that came with the Mega package??

thanks in advace
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
It's rarely the certificate that causes issues.

I would look into the Shared Packages and Version info DLL files or cuncurrencemanager that it might need. Haven't worked with the mega packages, but there might be needing a a lot of other dependent packages.

Thanks for the beautiful kitchen. I have been wanting to cook roms myself and was struggling to start, there i found the most simplest kitchen. thanks TrueG.

Tried building rom from the default kitchen (just wanted see how it works b4 porting 23409). flashed the rom to my mobile and every was fine. i have touch 64/128 so thought of removing some applications, removed few from SYS and moved some from IncludedPackages to ExcludedPackages. Now i built the rom and flashed it to mobile without any issue.

how ever in my mobile i got few issues, chome is not loading at all (am able to uncheck windows default and select date instead etc). and also the phone-dialpad is not working, when i press call button or menu>phone nothing happens?

what am i doing wrong?

attached a text file with list of removed apps from sys and list of file in includedpackages (post removal).

thanks in advance

Strange Issue

Hi All,

- I have cooked my own WM 6.5 (build 21851) ROM using trueg's wonderful kitchen.

- However I Cannot attend calls if Phone is locked with Windows Default Lock Screen. If I change the lock screen to Windows Classic then I am able to attend the calls properly.

Any idea what I am missing/messing with? :)

Following are packages that I have removed from my ROM :

OEM -

Remove LangDB*

Remove OEM_DPI_96

Remove CapNotify.exe from OEM\OEMAPPS

Remove PACKAGE_Elfin_EzInput*

Remove PACKAGE_Elfin_Field_T_e_s_t*

Remove PACKAGE_Elfin_IME_Engine_Western*

Remove StreamingMedia*

SYS -

Use NetCF 3.5 instead of NetCF 2.0 that comes with default SYS

Remove SampleMusic

Remove Skybox*

Remove Skymarket*

Remove default themes (M2D package has HTC.tsk)

Remove Transcriber*

Remove VoiceCommand*

Remove WelcomeCenter*

Remove WindowsLive*

Remove WindowsLiveIM*

Remove WMLiveSearchWidget, WMMoneyWidget, WMWeatherWidget

Remove MSTag

Remove VoiceRecorder 1_10_18181632_2

Remove RSSHub 2_1_1_1069_00
[Touch GSM ROM Development] trueg:
Try putting SQLCE & SQLCEmobile back in.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
Yeah the CHome issue is due to SQLCE being removed.

you can always remove SQLCeMobile, but don't ever remove SQLCe.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] honcorrd:
how about SQLCeMobile_lang_0409? Can be removed to?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] trueg:
Yes, when ever you remove a package/folder you can also remove the matching language folder (example: SQLCEMobile & SQLCEMobile_lang_0409).

thanks a lot trueg & dsxda :D, it worked, i was able to improve the memory (Storage 44+mb and program 19+mb) after removing few appz (in build 23037).. today i will try to port 23409 and share the results...

one question, when i remove certain appz (eg opera mobile) from includedpackage, when the mobile boots up for the 1st time, it goes into customization mode (installs few apps) and returns a error something like unable to find operamobile* etc.

Am i missing a step? should i edit some file?

if i include the mega package to \Ext\includedPackages it does not appears after i flash the rom, but if i put them on the \OEM folder then they appear after i fash :confused:

How do i create and edit reg entries and provxml file, do i usa notepad and then what??
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
If you know your way around registry entries, then editing rgu and provxml is really easy. you can unhide the extension option from your folder options and change the *.rgu or *.provxml to simply *.txt and edit the entries you want USING notepad and save the changes and revert back to original extension.

example:

this_is_my_file.rgu > this_is_my_file.txt (NOW EDIT EDIT EDIT) and then this_is_my_file.rgu

btw its always much better to integrate your own customization file. meaning, your own created rgu or provxml file into the OEM. the following link offers a great tutorial on how to do so...

I used to use this for office...hope this helps.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] honcorrd:
Thanks a lot ayyu3m
[Touch GSM ROM Development] trueg:
Packages in EXT\IncludedPackages must be in the new EXT style format to load properly. Ervius EXT_PAckages_rebuilder can do that for you. Otherwise putting the folder in \OEM\ will ensure that it gets loaded (as you have already found out).

One way is to change the extension as ayyu3m mentioned. I personally like to associate rgu and provxml files with Notepad so that I simply need to double click them to view and edit them.

Right click the rgu or provxml file and select "Open With...", then select Notepad and check off "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file". If "Open With..." is not listed in the context menu, double left click the file and the "Windows cannot open this file" dialogue will open. Choose "Select the program from a list" and the "Open With" dialogue box will then open.

Does it work if you put CHome* and Bronze* back in? If by phone skin you mean the HTC Dialer, then yes there are problems using the HTC Dialer with WM 6.5.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] trueg:
Using File Explorer, try opening \Windows\wrlsmgr and see if you can turn it on that way. If that doesn't work, there there is a problem with the driver (\OEM\OEMDrivers).

Hi trueg,

- I have not tried with CHome* and Bronze* back in. This is beacuse, I dont wont to have the default Titanium that comes with default SYS (as I want WM 6.5 + M2D ROM). But if you say its worth trying then, I will check when I get some more time (may be by weekend).

- By phone skin, I meant whatever it means from : Advanced Config -> Phone -> Phone Skin :-).

- I tried removing \OEM\PACKAGE_Elfin_PhoneCanvas : Same result.

- I tried removing \EXT\IncludedPackages\PhoneSetting_dll 6_16_0_0 : Same result.

1. Then I removed both "\OEM\PACKAGE_Elfin_PhoneCanvas" and "\EXT\IncludedPackages\PhoneSetting_dll 6_16_0_0".

2. Added "Dialer - Opal PhoneCanvas" from Opal OEM.

3. With this it works fine i.e. I am able to attend calls using the default WM 6.5 slider lock screen.

Can you please shed some light here regarding what could be the issue? Also which package you refer as HTC dialer?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fcukmayank:
regarding 6.5 with m2d

i think that there are issues with drivers

and regarding your canvas the opal canvas does not work well with 6.5 and the default dialer is included in every sys

all my 6.5 have default windows dialer

got it working, it was the commanager from the HTC Mega Package, but it was strange cause i went back to the commanager from the Elfin and it did the same. today i cook one only with wireless manager and it work, then went back to commanager from elfin and it works. :D

Thanks for you help.

Now i have another issue, i remove MicrophoneAGC and Advance Network but the programs still showing in system and connection, how do i removed from there???
[Touch GSM ROM Development] trueg:
Since MicrophoneAGC & Advanced Network do not have cpl files, HTC loads them in the control panel using MyCPL. To remove them, you need to edit the following file....

aaah the autorun and rom cooking....

Man!!! I need to get back into cooking. All these problems reminds me of how we used to cook roms back in the good ol' days.

Noonski was my guru at that time, and my classmates were dsixda (boy we really had fun chattin overnight, testing bluetooth not turning on problem) and finally we got it to start. and there was trueg also, one of my oldest friend....i use to ask and pm trueg as well....and lets not forget kancrutt....he was a rom flasher back in the days....and now...he is a cook too.

man.....i need a secondary device.....anybody having el cheapo nokia phone...atleast i can stay connected while i bake and fry my ELFIN.....

**sigh**

btw honcorrd....i m having the same problem with cabs not auto installing....i m pretty sure there is some other file...hmmmm...lemme sneek arnd my ELFIN base

okay...i m havin an idea...lemme check my thesis and get back to you....

EDIT: Okay! Use the attached OEM Security Package while you cook....you can extract and place the folder in your OEM or SYS in the kitchen and NOW COOK and see if your cabs get installed...

WHY?? Becoz security plays an essential role in controlling what is being installed on your device. So you remember the naggin screen which you get when you wana install a cab..."the following cab is not from a trusted source...blah blah blah..."

IF SO HOW COME?? yeah good point...why does cabs like Opera and Google maps get installed...simple...they have been labelled trusted sources

EDIT AGAIN: no more crossed fingers....it works for honcorrd now...yippeeee!!!!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] honcorrd:
hi ayyu3m, i don't remember that days cause a was a flasher not even interest in cooking. Now i do read all the thread and know what you talkin about. Thanks to you guys (dsixda, trueg, noonski and you) im cooking.

Not to sell my own Stuff but Using Autorun.exe is a Bit Outdated.

I made XDA_UC

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=525810

Not just for User customization, but also for Cook Friendliness.

Remove Autorun and CheckAutorun exe and LNK files.

And all Cabbs will be installed silently While the phone boots.

You would still need the Security Off Package but that's already included into XDA_UC.

And you don't need to set up SDAutorun as that is already included to into the Deal.
