Yay its all working now :D :D Is it possible we could add in a module that leaves the rom already application unlocked so we dont have to use the SDA Unlocker?
[HTC Vox] iceberg2403:
Sorry to keep bothering you but i have just found another problem... When i build the rom and flash it, when i go into the start menu (im not using SmartToolKit) there are no icons...

I also tried flashing your latest New Guava rom and found it had the same problem when SmartToolKit was disabled.

Is there a package stopping the icons from being created? or is this something else? :confused:

--

Update: Ive just looked inside the \windows\start menu\ folder and found that the icons are there. Im thinking that this suggests maybe the registry entry which specifies the order of the icons doesnt exist?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Here is the SYS folder http://rapidshare.com/files/81390036/SYS.exe.html
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Iceberg : I thought this was only in my rom, which I still need to update but I haven't found the time yet. Check if you have the file HTC_StartMenuBkg_320x320.bmp in your windows directory. If not I've posted it somewhere in the thread about my rom. Can you also tell me if the file is present in the version of the kitchen I have uploaded ?:(

frauhottelmann : another thing we forgot to do is to run G'reloc before building the rom since we have been adding modules from another rom ! I will try to do something with your OEM and SYS folder but maybe it won't be today since I will be a bit busy.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
That's fine. I'll be happy if it'll work anytime. :)
[HTC Vox] iceberg2403:
ok the file is in the kitchen, its a blank white png file. How would the background image of the Start Menu affect if the icons are displayed?

I did notice that in your first rom you released, it didnt have this problem! Whats changed? :)
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Something is strange, I took the Registry_Enable menu animations and Registry_Enable window animations folders out of the OEM but when I build a new ROM it's still activated! And it doesn't really integrate German, since you can't choose it in language settings!

Mh maybe it's because it flashed the old one again. It didn't move the new ROM to tools\flash

EDIT:

Now I have German in the settings, but again I can't activate Caps, although it worked with the last rom. I'll try again!

EDIT:

The keyboard seems to work in non-microsoft apps, but in all windows input fields I still can't activate the cap and the numeric keyboard outputs only numbers, regardless which setting I use (XT9, abc, or 123). Kinda strange

EDIT:

For now at least the Caps works, don't no why, because it just started working this morning, without changing anything!

EDIT:

After a softreset it stopped working again! Strange

EDIT:

It's confusing: it starts and stops working randomly. I just typed correctly on qwertz and numeric with caps and in the next moment it stopped working???!
[HTC Vox] iceberg2403:
Im having a REALLY SERIOUS problem now after flashing a rom :( :(

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=357204

Please help!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Iceberg : That's strange it should work if the file is here. I know windows wouldn't display icons if the file wasn't present..

frauhottelmann : I'm sorry I tried to download your SYS folder last week-end but couldn't get past 80%. That must be because my connection was having problems too. I will try again tomorrow.

I am currently reuploading the kitchen in case something went wrong with the previous one I uploaded. I added Tornado Power Control to it too. I will let you know when it is up.

EDIT : Kitchen uploaded !
[HTC Vox] iceberg2403:
Dr Martin Gonzo could you please read that post from the link above!?! i need your help please
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
=>frauhottelmann : I still can't get it to work properly.The problem seems to be with t9 anyway as I can't even switch from German to English or French whereas they are listed :confused: I really don't know for the moment. But I will give it a few more tries.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Well I got that to work. German is in the language list now. The kitchen is working fine anyways. The only problem is the caps thing. What I did is:

1. I put all the folders with 407 in them from my sys folder to the kitchen's sys folder.

2. I copied the OEM_lang_0407 folder for German to the oem folder of the kitchen.

3. I looked for other mui files in the kitchen and copied the corresponding files from my dump to these folders.

4. I deleted all the files in Language_German except the .dsm and .rgu

5. I ran G'Reloc and build a ROM and flashed that!

EDIT:

Oh and I made a theme, so if somebody wants it...as a cab...

Nothing special but anyways

EDIT:

I installed MoDaCo_Vox_eT9_Language_Pack.cab maybe that will help, but I can't tell now, because usually stops working after a while. I'll report back later!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
in the .rgu I sent you there was :

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"=dword:407

Try changing 407 to 409. I think it has to stay that way. Your rom should still display german text and maybe it is one of the source of the problems.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Well, there are no problems any more! After I installed that cab, the kezboard works fine, except the y is the z and the z is the y so it's on qwerty now, but I can live with that!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
I will upload the kitchen with German and the MoDaCo package for et9 tonight. I made some changes. I deleted Arabic (just Language Arabic - don't know why, I just did it some day). I edited some options for BuildOS (just names), I added the green CommManager (didn't test this yet) and well I added German! I put all the MoDaCo files into OEMApps, I believe (it was the right folder) but I didn't add the reg data yet (txt with all of them is attached, so Dr Martin Gonzo could you add that to a rgu or create a new one. All works fine with that, I think that the German keyboard driver didn't work correct with the new ROM version, but this one does (so the caps problem is finally gone)!

So Mr. Gonzo could you make a new kitchen with all 4 languages and tornado power control (I used previous version of the kitchen)! Thank you!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Yeah the upload is done! http://rapidshare.com/files/83065996/Vox_Kitchen.exe

I hope that helps you Dr Martin Gonzo! :)
[HTC Vox] Gussi:
@ frauhottelmann:

I have downloaded your adjusted Dr. Gonzo kitchen and already cooked a rom. However, I have problems flashing the rom. I get the error message that the rom is corrupt. I think I did something wrong during the Building of the Rom with the "htc rom tool".

What files do I have to select for the different "firmware contents" (i.e. IPL, SPL, Splash, 0x800 ...) in the HTC tool ? I used the "OS.nb" from the Temp folder.

Do I have to flash the "VOX_USPL" before flashing the cooked Rom even if I have an unbranded HTC Vox?

Thanks

Gussi
[HTC Vox] lastOne:
yes

make sure to follow the instructions:

1. Run the USPL (Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)

2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Vox-USPL-RUU.zip) << this one is important, it has save my phone once (i`ve flashed my phone with a corrupted ROM and hard reset was not possible)
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
You just have to go to the build folder and use the first batch and follow the instructions there. It tells you everything you need to know and to do! Tomorrow I will upload one rgu you need. so wait for that!

EDIT:

OK here you go. Extract it and put it into OEMAPPS!

EDIT:

OK it doesn't work. I'll try it differently!

Ups it wasn't the fault of this rgu I got an error because of a package I created!, but I did it different now, I added the registry stuff to the Language_German (Franch, English) rgus, I'll upload, just replace them!
[HTC Vox] jacopastorius:
I have a question: if i have a rom in .raw, extract it with pkgtools, then i get a OEM and SYS folder. Can I use your kitchen to build an .exe rom so i can flash it to my phone with USPL update utility?
[HTC Vox] Gussi:
Is it possible to run the kitchen under vista (without a virtual XP PC)? So far I only managed to run it under XP.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Ups, in case you have noticed, there is a fault in the kitchen I uploaded. The Blue CommManager doesn't work right. So here is the new oem package, just replace the old one!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
I started a wiki page on cooking with this kitchen, so everybody is welcome to help http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_cooking
[HTC Vox] Gussi:
Thanks for the Wiki!!!

Unfortunately I can't test the kitchen right now because I don't have a XP machine here. Maybe I will try to cook a German Rom later this week.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Thank you for your contributions frauhottelmann !:) I will update the kitchen with your additions. Also since the german driver now works I assume we can change the keyboard mapping file so you don't have a qwerty keyboard when selectioning german in the kitchen ?

And the wiki is a very nice idea, I will also add the link to the first post
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
You did a really nice job there, everything seem to be really well organised :)

I've added arabic support back in and corrected the syslang value problem I mentionned earlier. I also moved the german kmap.txt to OEM\language_german since the file is not needed unless you have a german keyboard. I've also deleted a greek kmap.txt file. And of course I've added tornado power control. Everything else seems to be in order but I woiuldn't be suprised if I made some mistakes !

I'm still checking a few things but it is nearly finished.

I still have to make a test..

And I forgot to add that I added the last version of htc rom tool to the kitchen
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Only problem is I think I will have to delete one of the commanager as buildos has troubles working with multiple files with the same names in different folders, even if you tell him just to add one of the commmanagers...

Or better yet, here is what I will do : I will release the kitchen with only the minimum in the OEM folder and then add an additional download for OEM packages.

This will also give the added benefit of not having to download the whole kitchen each time an new package is added !
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
That is a better way! If you haven't noticed yet, I changed the default theme to my orange one. So before you upload it you might wanna change that back too! I made a couple OEM packages, I'll test them and upload and then you can add them to the first post!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
No the default theme was still the green one :confused:

I just tested it with german. It works good :) QWERTZ is here too.

I'll go and upload the kitchen.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Then I probably added it after I packed the kitchen! :confused:
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Yep :) Anyway don't worry everything seemed to be in perfect working order.

And the kitchen is finally uploaded!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Just a question before I am uploading: how can I change the location of the Adobe Reader shortcut? I want it in the office folder, because it's office for me and it was there in my initial ROM. I' ll upload OEM packages for: Slick, Opera, MoDaCo Do New, Application Manager, TCPMP, Ilium Software NewsBreak and Rivia Gentimer. You still need license keys for some of them.

Here you go: http://rapidshare.com/files/83773337/oem.exe.html

EDIT: Just an idea, you could add Ervius package creator to future kitchen versions, it is very good for creating OEM packages. http://rapidshare.com/files/78803302/package_creator.rar

EDIT: For whatever reason, I can't create a package for Resco Explorer with Registry and FTP plugin, because somehow it adds registry strings, that aren't in the cabs.

EDIT: I made one for Reboot in the quick list (when you push the power button)!
[HTC Vox] Gussi:
Hey guys, I don't wanna bother you, but is there a possibility to cook a Rom under Vista or at least flash a pre cooked Rom?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Thank you I will add all these things maybe tomorrow !

About your problem with resco you could install the programs first and then dump the registry keys you lack. PHM regedit is good at this work. I think mobile registry editor (on pc) does that too, it might be easier to use.

Were you able to save documents created with modaco donew once it's cooked in the rom ? I remember trying this but the default templates were set to read only or something and I couldn't save the file, or create them I don't remember. Well to make it short, have you tested it ?:o

And I'll take a look at ervius package creator.

EDIT : Gussi : I don't know, sorry. I don't have Vista.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Yeah it works, just tried it!

Which part doesn't work under Vista?

Vox is bricked - Help!

Hello Doctor,

after flashing a new (wrong) rom Activesync stop working and I cannot flash any correct ROM.

Could you please help me how-to flash a new rom from bootloader?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Alllof : try bootloader mode : disconnect USB cable. Hold camera button and reconnect the cable, still while holding. It should show a tricolor screen. Retry flashing then.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I've updated the oem packages with the last one proided by frauthelmann!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
A question: For what do I need G'Reloc?? When and how do I have to run it? Just for me to know and then I'll add to the Wiki!
[HTC Vox] alllof:
Vox- Bricked.

Hello Doctor,

in bootloader mode the program mtty.exe raise an error "USB port can not open" and for this reason I can not unlock the device. It is other way to flash a new ROM?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Alllof : I remember reading about a way to install a rom from the storage card.. Maybe it was on these forums I don't remeber sorry. You should try to search that.

Use this Google Link to search the forums as the integrated search function is really bad.

frauhottelmann : from what I understood it is needed when adding modules from another rom. Here is an exemple of a module : SYS\BaseApps\tmail.exe contains many files but when the rom is built it will only output as tmail.exe.

I understood that modules have a fixed memory adress or something. G'reloc analyses these infos and prevent different modules from occuppying the same memory adress, which could happen when adding modules from another rom.

But I'm no programmer so maybe this explaination is not accurate or complete.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Thank you that was all I needed to know. But now a different question: How can I change the location of the Adobe Reader LE (and calculator) to the Office folder, where it was in my original ROM! I don't mind moving them after flashing, but it would be nice to have it!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
OK I found a good keyboard layout for the German guys here. eT9.Vox.0407.kmap.txt produces an ö when you press Fn+o and ( when you press o long and Ö when you press shift+Fn+o. It's the same with a (ä) and u (ü)!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Changing lines :

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu"):-File("Adobe Reader LE.lnk","\Windows\Adobe Reader LE.lnk")

and

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories"):-File("Calculator.lnk","\Windows\calc.lnk")

in initflashfiles.dat should work :)

I'll add your last qwertz file to the kitchen
[HTC Vox] alllof:

Hi Doctor,

now I can connect to the device through bootloader and password BsaD5SeoA, could you please help me how to flash a rom from bootloader?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[HTC Vox] jpeel:
Can I use the Kitchen to create a flash that just includes the Radio Version from a ROM?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
For this you only need htc rom tool by dark simpson and Dutty's nbh tool (to extract radio from an existing rom)
[HTC Vox] jpeel:
Thanks Dr. G! Worked like a charm and I didn't have to reinstall all my apps! Thanks also for the great work!

[HTC Vox] jpeel:
I'd be glad to, but I don't know how to add info to the wiki.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:

i have found the link on a thread in Titan forum.

P.S.

i have v3.5.2.16.R1 on my Vox
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
If you have a cab, then making an OEM package is no problem! Just upload...
[HTC Vox] madds:
hi

i have a problem, whatever apps i add to the rom i always get a error in the end using buildOS:

Error building default.hv and user.hv

only in english language but if i choose german/french or arabic language works ok...
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Then there is a problem in a .rgu file, probably there are double registry strings or strings that are conflicting!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Does it work when you don't add any other applications ?

If yes please copy here the content of one of your added rgu (proven to conflict of course:p)
[HTC Vox] madds:
hi

i deselected all extra apps leaving only the selection marks in "english" and "my default theme".

Still gives me the same error. :S
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Could you delete or move the OEM_Lang_040C and try again, there might be a problem in the rgu!

EDIT:

Never mind, it doesn't work! But I found some rgu conflicts
[HTC Vox] madds:
ok i will wait for a solution from the experts.

fantastic work from doc Gonzo, and your support frauhottelmann...

Thank's
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I think I have found the problem, add a blank line at the end of 2cb5b330-b580-11dc-8314-0800200c9a66.rgu in language_english folder.

I will update the kitchen right away.

And conflict between rgu's seem to not be a problem. However I don't know how BuildOs chooses one over another..

For exemple I use registry keys to define t9 in each of the language_xxxxxx folders. However you also find these keys in OEM_Lang_xxx folders. Still the one I add are used instead of those default ones. Maybe because there is an option.xml file in language_xxxxxx folders ant it tells BuildOs this is the reference ?

I don't know, maybe we should ask Bepe..
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Oh what a stupid mistake! Damn registry! :D
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I haaaaaaaate these little details !!! :D
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Could you please update the NewsBreak OEM package and add the VNCViewer.

VNCViewer is a very useful app if you want to control your PC over Wifi or Internet. http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/ It works very well with UltraVNC.

EDIT: Oh and I changed/updated a couple of Wiki articles, just that people know... :)
[HTC Vox] jpeel:
My BuildOS keeps crashing at "Error buildingn Default.hv and user.hv" any suggestions what's going wronng? I did the registry dump, added REGEDIT4 to the frot of the file, made sure there was a blank line at the end of the file and then converted to UNICODE. Then ran Step[2] and copied the Default.hv annd User.hv too SYS\Metadata. What else was I supposed to do?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
What do you want to do? If you just wanna build a ROM you don't need to do these steps!
[HTC Vox] rickytr23:
do you know

do you think I can use this kitchen on HTC Kaiser:confused:
[HTC Vox] jpeel:
I was just trying to build a ROM. Are you saying I can ignore the error I get from BuildOS?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
What I am saying is that you don't have to do any of the "2 Edit" part, you just have to execute 3 Build/BUILD.BAT If you already changed the Registry, then just unpack it again and start from scratch. Then it should work. I hope you are using 2.0a!?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Why don't you just use the Kaiser kitchen?

I hadn't done any of the 2 Edit and I received the error about creating te registry files, so I did the reg dump steps and I still get the error.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
But there is no need to do them. There is a fault in one ofthe *.rgu s , we found one in the English language one, just look in the first post, if that doesn't help, please post all the packages you selected!
[HTC Vox] hatefulsandwich:
Hm, I can't seem to download anything off of that initial post. Are the download links down at the moment, or is it just my end screwing up?

Thanks
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
it's still up. I haven't yet updated the kitchen to last rom version though. It won't be for tonight too sorry. :(
[HTC Vox] hatefulsandwich:
Ah, thanks. It seems like there was something wrong at that point in time, everything is downloading now. What ROM version are you updating to, when do you think that'll be done?

Darn, and I just managed to finish downloading. Eh, well, means more fun for me tomorrow. Thanks for the great work.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
I tried to integrate the new ROM and after a lot of deleting/moving components, I got BuildOS through all processing, including registry, but then, I got an error. The message said it is "a problem with an external component" or something like this and BuildOS shows this error message:

Any ideas??
[HTC Vox] lastOne:
when can we expect a release based on the new rom 1.34 ? :D
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
I think I might upload my version, which seems to work now. It based on the language adding kitchen from the Dr. and has German and US-English. But the upload will take while! It is based on the new ROM and only essential OEM-packages come with it! You can add the languages from the New Guava thread, but it works a little bit different, I'll tell you when I am done!
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
OK, the new kitchen is here: http://rapidshare.com/files/89062975/Vox_Kitchen.exe.html

Unzip to C:\Vox Kitchen and use it the way you have before.
[HTC Vox] lastOne:
downloading now,

thank you
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Thank you for releasing this :)

I think you should start a new thread with your version. I'm really lacking time :(
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Hm I don't have much time either! But I will open a new thread!
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Hi - bear with me I'm new at this. Buildos crashes on startup for me, so I tried the above, but to no effect. I counldn't find a file with a .rgu suffix. Any help greatly appreciated, as I'd really like to try this cooking thing.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Most of the .rgu s are hidden!
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Sorry - I'm going to need spoon-feeding here: I have my Vista file explorer set to show hidden files and I see nothing .rgu in the OEM_Lang_0409 folder. What should I be seeing?
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Uuups, nope there shouldn't be a rgu in this folder anyway!
[HTC Vox] kc1:
OK so what about the other bit...

"could mean that one of your OEM packages as a different GUID for the files and inside the option.xml file"

I have no idea what that means
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Well that means:

Did you see the *.dsm files with these crazy file names? The name without the .dsm is GUID and this has to be in the xml for BuildOS too.

BTW: You did execute it from 2.Build -> Build.bat ,because when I started BuildOS from the Tool folder it always crashed on me too!
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Yes I spotted the files and tried what someone suggested earlier in the thread by replacing the crazy file name .dsm with the one in his attached post, but it made no difference

When I try from the batch file nothing happens - just refreshes the screen. Tried "run as administrator" as well - makes no difference. Shame, as I would like to get this running. It looks like fun.
[HTC Vox] frauhottelmann:
Try this batch! Just replace the old one!
[HTC Vox] kc1:
Thanks frauhottelmann, it runs now!
