Heej

Dr. Gonzo i tried intalling your newest theme and it dindnt work! I like it very much. I was wondering if.. you could replace the standard clock with that clock wit the weather and favorite people? it would be a superb homescreen!

its just a suggestion.

gr. cpt.bert
[HTC Vox] Foxje:
I installed this ROM last week, and it works great! Installing was easy to do, clear instructions. I want to thank you very much, and I will be following this thread. Also I'm looking forward to new skins!

Thank you.
[HTC Vox] Vener:
I have trouble with the kitchen, i have no idea how to start using it, i loved this rom I wanted to make my own with cabs that i want to really use and stuff that i don't. if there is fool proof way to remove and add software that would be great.

Thx
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
ROM updated, nothing really new except on the cosmetic side.

This will be my last update and I will probably quit doing support on it in the coming days. Maybe I will go back doing another rom once windows mobile 6.1 is out. Right now the motivation is no longer here. Of course I'll finish building cabs for all languages that were available before.

TheBo : These were some good suggestions thank you. I only added smartmonitor though. I'll try the font someday..

Fireburned : I don't really know I never modified the file whithout cooking it directly into the rom. But it should be visible in file explorer. Maybe your Windows is not configured to show hidden/system files.. Anyway you will probably have to sign the file after you odify it for the Os to accept it (I've never done that too)

cpt.bert : I don't really know why my theme doesn't work. Some files get corrupted when I build the cab. But I won't do a theme with htc home. I don't like it.

briggs81 : that's why I added htc task manager :) But I like the options application manager provide

Foxje : thanks :)

Vener : well this is not exactly the right thread to learn about cooking :)

You should rather ask your questions here.
[HTC Vox] raca:
Is there a chance to get only the cab of home theme from v1.0?
[HTC Vox] djmartain:
Very nice work dr.

One question, how can i add the updated radio to your rom and can i turn the french rom in english like default and then add the dutch lang so the messaging application would be in english and the rest in dutch ?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
You can flash the radio seperate without flashing a new ROM, simply follow the same procedure you would a ROM, however replace the .NBH with a Radio and use a patched RUU.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
raca : Yes I will build a cab for the theme but I seem to have problem building cab for themes lately :confused: We'll see.

djmartain : just install the dutch cab and reboot, the messaging application should default to english, not french, don't worry. And do as h4waii said for radios. You can also find prepared radios here on the wiki.
[HTC Vox] djmartain:
When i try to install that radio i get an error that there was an error flashing and my phone reboots. Strange :s Also, how come that on the screenshots there is so many free place and memory available. I'm glad if I have half of those numbers.

Update: When i try to flash the rom the update starts and then says that the image is corrupt. I'm redownloading the rar but the image extracted perfect. I have used a previous version of the rom but then went to de ARA rom and now i can't flash anymore it seems. Do i need to unlock something again ?

edit: seems i needed to do the vox USPL again :) all is fine now ;)

edit2: I have a french phone because i like azerty but when i install the dutch cab, the keyboard switches to qwerty. Could you edit the cab or make a new cab for azerty phone users who want a dutch interface? Tnx!
[HTC Vox] fireburned:
Thanks you Dr. Gonzo for your new great rom !

For shellres.dll, with activesync, i can't see this file, just shellresapps.dll.xxxx.mui

(Windows XP is configured to show hidden/system files)

With total commander on Vox, i can see shellres.dll, but i can't copy file on my storage card (forbidden, error).

I have try to extract RUU_Vox_HTC_FRA_1.34.406.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe, it's ok

I have extract RUU_signed.nbh with nbhtool.exe

I have a file Windows.nb, how to extract it to rom/oem/sys folders ? (software ?)

Is it the way to modify shellres.dll ?

Thanks dr gonzo.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Freburned : download the kitchen for the Vox, tools are included to extract an Os image. But so that you can get started easier I attached shellres.dll ;)

But I don't expect it to be easy replacing the file whithout cooking an enterily new rom.

djmartain : Just go to HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouDlls\

Change the value of 000007FF from eT9.Vox.0413.kmap.txt to eT9.Vox.040C.kmap.txt

Then soft reset and voilà! You have azerty keyboard
[HTC Vox] zeeshee:
Hi

Thanks for the new ROM BUT I LIKE the 0.5a version as thats much better looking. I am trying to go back to 0.5a but after 3% it says Image is corrupt & phone reboots. I have even USPL the phone again but still no luck.

Any help?

EDIT:: I flashed original HTC ROM & then again 0.5a version & it worked then..
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I made this cab sometimes ago. It should give you back 0.5a look whithout having to flash back a previous version. I hope the cab works good. don't forget to soft reset after having installed it.

I personally coudn't stand that look anymore :p

"Les gouts et les couleurs.." as we say in french
[HTC Vox] stocaprimo:
Same problem here. I tried to rerun the SPL update but no luck.

Uhm, it seems that the ROM SPL is still 1.34. Shouldn' t it be 1.16 after the update?

EDIT:

I did it. :D

But I had to use the SPL update downloaded from the official thread. Quite stange but it do the trick. =)
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Gonzo, could you post either the files required to change to the latest ROM - the grass theme or a CAB to install it?

Thanks!
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
hmmm any word when WM6.1 is actually suppose to come out?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I think we will have to wait for new smartphones and will try to adapt it to the Vox then.

The pictures on boygeniusrport of windows mobile standard 6.1 were taken on a moto Q but I can't really rember. Maybe motorola will release a new version with 6.1 ..?

Hawaii : I've attached the new theme as a cab. Could you try it and tell me if it works as it should ?
[HTC Vox] swapnilgyani:
Hi Dr Gonzo,

Just updated to ur latest version, works great. Just have one unsolved prob now: the outgoing call screen is blank: it is a plain white screen with two black borders - I cannot see anything else.

I tried to install the MoDaCo de-brand pack as well, but that did not fix the situation.

The incoming call screen is fine. Any suggestions?
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
I really want to upgrade from your 0.5a ROM to your new 1.0 ROM but the only thing that is putting me off is the fact that Pocket Outlook will still be in French after I Install the English Language cab file. Is there anyway that you could release a true English Language Version for people like me who don't speak any French.

Roland
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Gonzo, the CAB works and installs the theme. Can you attach your splash+call branding screens so I can change over to the new cosmetics?
[HTC Vox] stocaprimo:
It seems that the power on/off button isn' t working. Is this a known bug?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Ooops, i see they are in the Home directory. Great skin!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
swapnilgyani : really strange :confused: check that the files are present in application data\home\dose7 .

But there is no reason that it works on my phone and not on yours.

stocaprimo : it works

Rolandh : it will be in english.

It is just with other languages. For exemple if you install czech everything will be in czech except pocket outlook which will default to english, not french.

Hawaii : Isn't the registry updated with call/branding screens ?
[HTC Vox] charlie42:
Why did you remove the WMP skin? It was awesome:)
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Thanks:) you can still get it here if you want.
[HTC Vox] qxv1:
Dr. Martin Gonzo Polish lamguage

When accessible Polish language is ?
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
Gonzo: no, the CAB doesn't seem to update Incoming_bg.png for incoming calls - I just manually copied everything from in the dose7 Home folder into \Windows\ and then over-wrote Incoming_bg with a 240x320 one from the theme.
[HTC Vox] elwoodblues:
Hello Dr. Gonzo, Maybe I've killed my phone with the last update v 1.0, after the update from the 0.5 to 1.0 the telephone won't startup...ù

I only see the htc first screen, then brrrr (vibration) and then blank screen. NOTHING HAPPENS...

I can only arrive to the hard reset screen by pressing the two buttons but when restarts the same thing happens!

PLEASE HELP ME!!

What can I do?!

bye!
[HTC Vox] padbol2000:
Take a micro SD card and format as FAT32 by your PC.

· Copy image file XXX.nbh from HTC ROM to the micro SD card and rename to Vox0img.nbh

Press the “Camera + Power” button simultaneously and release the Power button first after hold for 2 seconds, and then the device will enter boot-loader mode.

· When enter boot-loader mode and see the download message, follow the instruction on display for download process.

Its ok???
[HTC Vox] elwoodblues:
thanks padbol,

I'll try tomorrow morning with clean brain :) now I'm going to sleep and dream to save my mobile! sigh sigh!

thanks for your superfast help!

good night!
[HTC Vox] qxv1:
Polish language ?

or Polish language will be to rom v1.0 ?
[HTC Vox] charlie42:
Are you planning to add czech language? Thanks
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
Thank's for the info, will update to v 1.0 then. Are the WM Games now back in the ROM as I can no longer see the link to them on the first page?

Roland
[HTC Vox] elwoodblues:
IT DOESN'T WORK!! I'VE COPYED THE FILE New Guava ROM v1.0.nbh of 59 megs ad renamed to Vox0img.nbh but after the brrrr... nothing happens it shuts down.

HEEEELP!!!
[HTC Vox] Da9L:
Is there any new things in this build? Because iam using your old rom (v. 0.5) and it works like a charm, but if there is anything new in this i probably would try it out.. :)
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
elwoodblues : if you flashed USPL you should have no problem starting your phone in bootloader mode and update it from your pc.

Rolandh : yes

and yes I will add languages later but it's a very tedious process . And I just got a wm 6.1 rom in my possession I need to play with it a bit tosee if I can port it to the Vox :D
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
oh dr.gonzo, you just sent chills up my spine! WM6.1?! finalllyy! :D work your magic, really looking forward to that, hopefully you can get it ported :D.
[HTC Vox] elwoodblues:
Yes I've Flashed Uspl But Still Doesn't Work.. Quite Strange Because The Battery Was Also Charged At 100%.... Really I Don't Know How To Rebirth It..

Elwood
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
If the WM 6.1 ROM is a none 3g WM 6.1 Standard ROM then I you having much trouble porting it, but I am no expert on cooking ROM's. Can not wate to see what you do with WM 6.1.

Roland
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
elwood : can you get into the bootloader ?

I've been able to boot wm 6.1 but it doesn't really work.

I've been able to extract the xip after some hex editing but I can't successfully port it. If someone has knowledge in xip porting help would be appreciated. I haven't got enough time to learn this and make all the tests needed :(

I've replied to the windows mobile 6.1 thread in the smartphone general forum.

I'll post links to the files when they are uploaded.
[HTC Vox] xavalon:
French language dominant in mail/sms folder naming

After upgrading to the Dr GOnzon New_Guava and selecting a language file (tested with English and Dutch) i find that the french language is still dominant in some applications.

For e.g. when installing Flexmail the folders are still in french (while the menu's are in english). My folders are now named "Boîte de réception", etc instead of inbox (or "postvak in" in Dutch). How to change this.

When using the standard application the folders are named correctly.

I also noted that when i install the dutch language, many applications are still in English.
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
hmmm so its proving to be more difficult than originally thought? does that mean ur going to let it go for now or continue to play around with it? I only ask cause i might know someone that knows a few things about xip porting, so keep at it, and i'll see what i can do. thanks again for all ur work ;)
[HTC Vox] elwoodblues:
no I can't, when I press the camera and the power on and then i leave the power on and keep pressed the camera happens the same thing, htc screen--vibration--black screen and nothing more...

If I send you the telephone can you help me?

thank you for your effort.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
I'm sorry about the languages issues but there is nothing more I can do.

I might revert to the previous method for adding languages but it lead to several problems for some people. I just don't know what to do anymore with this rom. Trying to please everybody is just too huge a task.

I'll finish building czech and polish cab and it will be done I'm just too tired of working on this.

I'm sorry but if I release other roms in the future I think I'll keep it to french and english only.:( Otherwise it is really too much work for one person and it becomes a source of stress instead of pleasure.
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
completely understand, can tell that your gettin stressed out. i think the best way to handle something like this is to explain how someone could go on and their own language (like you've done) and leave it at that. By supporting the your two major languages like english and french should be more than enough.

Im just excited to see how you customize WM6.1 (when it does come out) because your work is simply just awesome! :D
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
WHOA !!! :O
[HTC Vox] germansak:
Hi, Dr. Gonzo. I have an unlocked HTC S620 with ROM 1.27. Can I install your ROM on my device? Are the steps to do it (and to install the Spanish Language) the same as the VOX? Are there any incompatibilities (if that´s the word)?

Thanx in advance. For what I've seen it's really awesome ROM and I can't wait to have it installed.

Sorry for my poor english, I hope you understood me.
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Yeah I will add the old method of adding languages back. I need a tester though because it needs some adjustements because of the new baserom.

I might be able to pull it of since I got better at understanding xip related stuff. But I don't have enough time to test it.
[HTC Vox] gezzaroy:
Dr Gonzo + HTC Home

Hi,

First of all, well done Dr Gonzo. You're doing a lot of good work. I hope HTC is listening and they will soon make you President (or something).

I've installed your latest ROM with Tho's HTC Home plugin here. It works fine except the home screen is not layed out correctly. Where I should have the battery and RAM icons I get black rectangles. And then Wi-fi, Profile and Appointments are on top of the black rectangle. Finally, at the bottom, the 2 latest applications buttons are on top of the oval icon instead of being in it. Sorry, I'm a newbie and I don't know how to take a screen shot.

I'm posting here because I don't think I got your ROM to work correctly in the first place. If I reboot, the task bar is the default WM6 task bar. I have to start the SmartToolKit to get the task bar as you intended it. I don't think that's normal. Also, in the bottom right corner it says Taches instead of Tasks and some other items in the menu are in French (if I click Start > Right > I get Mes Documents, Memoire Interne etc...). I installed the latest ROM (28/02/08) and the English language file (I noticed it was only a few Kb).

I would appriciate any suggestions.

Thanks

Gez
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Sorry I should have wrote how to turn smarttoolkit to english :

Hit start then go to the right panel and choose "Configuration" then "Apparence". Here choose English-Lowercase in the "langue" section.

To make smarttoolkit startup automatically you to smarttoolkit control panel and it's in the general options. I disabled autostart by default since a lot of users didn't like smarttoolkit as it is not very stable.

Tho homescreens should work. You didn't install smartmonitor again ?
[HTC Vox] robinsonsam:
just to add, for those of us (i know it annoys me) who would like smarttoolkit to be in upercase just set it to "DEFAULT" in the language selection it will be in uppercase, i can confirm this works in this rom with the english language pack installed.

also, id like to say thankyou to Dr Martin for the brilliant rom, ive been using it since 3.21 (i think) and i look forward to the wm6.1 update when you can do it, youre work has been invaluable to us all in making the vox a brilliant bit of kit.

sam
[HTC Vox] h4waii:
I have noticed a slight "bug" with the Inbox application, when opening an unread SMS the scrollbar seems to default to the bottom of the message instead of the top - this didn't happen with any release before v1.0, perhaps it is part of the skinning that changed it?
[HTC Vox] elwoodblues:
ok... finally i can enter the boot but first i see a white screen that says invalid certificate... and then i see

VOX

ONBL 1.14.0000

vox

spl 1.14.0000

vox

cpld - 04

and now?!

i can't update it...

please help!
[HTC Vox] fooogooo:
Ok now i have my vox, and that it is application unlocked ( Grrr Orange ... )

i tried to install the rom following that :

Quick installation guide :

* First you need to have a fully app unlocked your phone. If that is not the case run VOX_USPL\SDA_ApplicationUnlock\SDA_ApplicationUnlo ck.exe and reboot. Then run VOX_USPL\VOX_USPL\uspl_116_jockyw.bat and follow the instructions. It should end by quickly dysplaying the traditional linux penguin on the phone and then the screen should go black. That means the USPL is loaded in the phone memory.

* Now we will be able to FLASH the USPL, that means it will be permanently in the phone so you should never have problems flashing unofficial roms and it's an added protection in case something goes wrong, your device should be easier to recover. To flash it run VOX_USPL\VOX_USPL\ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow instructions. The flash procedure will be very quick and your phone will reboot.

* Then we will flash the rom upgrade. To do so simply run FLASH.exe at the root directory of my archive.

but during the second step ( the quick flash ) i have a message :

the image file is corrupted.

i am using Vista Ultimate, maybe the problem is related to vista ?

thanks guys
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Tho : they really look great ! Sure I'd like to include them in the rom :) I haven't kept myself informed but last time I checked putting HTC home on the Vox caused troubles with storage card ? Is that fixed ?

Makaeli : use a registry editor and edit so that it looks like this :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\1]
"Dll"="\\Windows\\oemstartup.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Shutdown\1]
"Dll"="\\Windows\\oemstartup.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Startup]
"Image"="\\Windows\\startup.gif"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Shutdown]
"Image"="\\Windows\\shutdown.gif"

then copy the attached files in your windows directory, that should work.

Padder : thank you for finding this problem, I will look into it, that is strange because nothing was changed in this area.Makaveli86 can you tell me if you have the same problem with v0.2 ?
[HTC Vox] tho:
There are no problems with storage card! Facade and other plugins seem to cause the cont. reboot, but not the Home plugin on it's own! Works flawlessly :)

I'm using the updated SGregory-cab.

And, thank you! :)
[HTC Vox] fooogooo:
:mad: :mad:

no way to flash my vox :'(

even on a windows xp computer.

i can pass the SDA application unlock successfully, but i can't pass the next step. file corrupted.

so bad ...:(
[HTC Vox] lerameur:
>If you have the message "the file is corrupted"

You haven't followed the instruction...

First, run SDA Application, reboot

Second, run uspl.bat (2 files will be copy on the Vox root)

Third, when the screen goes black run ROM Update Utility

And then when your phone turn on, run Flash.exe

>I have a problem with the calculator, when i wanna start it's tells me that isn't a CE appz valid

>And just a proposition to be perfect, just translate wm5storage in french if you can...

>Thanks for your rom it's very cool.
[HTC Vox] fooogooo:
i follow step by step what is specified, but i always have the same result .... file corrupted.:(
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Makiaveli86 : For your icons problem, maybe you imported registry and databases too ? I don't really know if they are compatibles from one rom to another.. Anyway I don't think you should import the registry

I think the problem with the calculator is that it uses functions of .NETCF 2.0 not supported by .NETCF 3.5:( But I don't really want to go back to 2.0 since the phone is really faster with 3.5..

I will try to find an alternative.
[HTC Vox] fooogooo:
If something goes wrong, it is not due to the framework ( i mean the version of the framework ).

Technicaly, .NET CF 3.5 is .NET CF 2.0 + several new assemblies. All the .NET 2.0 softwares runs under 3.5 becauses the framework didn't change, it was enlarge. The common assemblies in 2.0 and 3.5 are the same ... binarily speaking ( is that a real word ?? :D ).

New_Guava ROM fr / tornado power control

Hi Dr. Martin Gonzo,

First, I want to thank you for your great job.

I just have install the last french version but when I install Tonornado power control,(2 versions tested) i have this message "no a CE valid application"...

is this problem appear on the english ROM?
[HTC Vox] ndlr:
Maybe, try somethings like that : "regarding the binaries"

Je crois que c'est mieux :)

Bonne année /Happy new year / Eine gute neue jahre
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
i completely agree, .NETCF 3.5 seems much faster! what do you suggest i use to back up my data? because i have a lot of contacts and SMS messages i was hoping to keep. i used Sprite to back it up, but when i use Sprite to restore it with your rom it messes up the icons

not only does the icon get messed, but the link the icon takes you to also becomes whack, cause when i click on it from the start menu, it takes me to a screen saying 'empty folder'.

small problem i know, but it takes away from your beautiful rom, because right now i'm loving your rom. thanks again
[HTC Vox] fooogooo:
yup, "C'est mieux ;-) "
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
hey Dr.Gonzo, no worries, i just changed the way i backed them up, using jeyo mobile now and it worked perfectly with your rom. all is good, all is great actually, looking forward to future updates :D keep up the good work man, love it!
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
No not everything is great because it seems I ****ed up something with .NET ..:confused: Please Makaveli86 tell me if the calculator used to work if you still have the v2.0 ?
[HTC Vox] Dr. Martin Gonzo:
Ok I have found the problem with .NET CF. Calculator works onc again. :)

Buildos works strange sometimes... I will update the roms and my kitchen.

I hate making these kind of mistakes.. It forces everyone to update again:(
[HTC Vox] makaveli86:
hey ya calculator doesn't work, but just read you fixed it :D i got teh 'mobilecalculator' is not a valid windows ce application. i get this error with tornado power control too, could that be because of .NET CF?
