Changing background for all tabs

I understand that the following files have to do with the background of tabs

4a087e41_manila

Yet I have been unable to find 4a087e41 at \OEM\package_diamond_manila

Do I just put my own in that folder?

Polaris can use?

May someone tell me can this method be used in my Polaris?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 02xda2:
Why Full Quote?? and waste thread space .!:eek:.

Well it might work on Polaris, but why are you applying Diamond instructions for your Polaris ? Please check Polaris Section, there are enough guides/tutorials, Kitchen and Materials available for Cooking and experienced Masters have given their own versions of cooking for Polaris with detailed explanations. So try there instead of confusing yourself with instructions for a different device than Polaris and getting your device bricked...:confused:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mondilv:
Thanks!

Interesting & important manual.

What do I like to see more?

1. Explain of most "unused" packages in sys/oem (which packages & files could be remove without problems to system)

2. Customization cooked roms - the most important, for me at least. For novice the best way cook the "own" rom - change already cooked rom a little. Remove unused & add favorites progs.

Dump of most popular images - often the big problem. Don't know why, but for me - raw2 (big one) - activesync disconnect after few minutes. Is it normal or only my "headache"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
This usually happens if you try to cook a "protected" ROM like bepe's DP etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
lolek, I guess a lot of people appreciate your initiative, but wouldn't it be better to post all the cooking info on the wiki?

Take a look at the Kaiser coking thread. There's only a bunch of links but all the info is on the wiki.

Reader friendly; easier to manage. Let it serve its purpose.

^.^

Anyways, good job till now.

If you're experienced with screencasts, you could try that too.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Well, I just started to get familiar with it!

Just dumped the rom and got the NL OEM files etc.

But what is it all about? Can someone explain, how it functions?

Maps like SYS/OS/ all contain a .txt file with rominfo? I see everywhere these .dsm files.

And extended rom, where to find it?

How about the PACKAGE_diamond dirs? Where can I see what is done with it, where does it install the packages.

could someone explain, what happens after a hard reset and how the ROM puts itself on the phone? :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Another question,

The mxip_initdb.vol is about 16mb big in ROM

It consists of all zero's . I know this file is used for contacts and other databases. but needs it to be so big, and would it be of any use to get is smaller and gain some space?

Nice tutorial, i tried it last night and it works good.

I used the package creator for the apps and it worked good, expect tf3d config 0.67. And i got a problem with active sync. It hangs after a shot time, and i couldnt connect to the pc. After soft reset it wotks normaly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] skrap3:
Hm i think this tool is the reason for some bugs. I cooked my own rom last night and i got a lot of probs with active sync and youtube. No problems on the original rom. Today i cooked a new rom without changing apps, etc. Same problems. Flashed the original rom again and no problems.

On the panosha athena 0.8 rom i got the same problems, only the ruu_releases of 1.93.xxx working corectly.

Known bugs:

Active sync crashes from time to time, softreset helps.

After a couple of vids, youtube crashes and tf3d softkeys are hanging.

After pressing home button it works correctly.

WM 6.1 freezes for a short time.

And its only on cooked roms.

i the folder base rom there is no Ruu_signed.ndb

maybe i was downloaded something wrong??

what is problem

i run on win xp sp3
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mujja:
you need to copy the Ruu_signed.ndb in there yourself.

if you're failing at the first step then perhaps you should stop now ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
You can remove the MMS app if you're gonna use another SMS app.

The BT* apps are Bluetooth related apps, like the Bluetooth FTP etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] benko286:
but where do i download Ruu_signed.ndb???

i have downloaded kitchen,ROMUpdateUtility.rar and RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.exe and extract how says in step but always same problem.

i hope that (RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.exe) is good because i need eng version(bought in uk)

Repost

Perfect

I was hoping/loocking fopr a thread like this! BUT

Could anybody explaine to me how to dump a rom?

The one I am using right now is pretty good and I want to modify

it and loose all the unwanted programs...

But what happens to all the .cab programs I have installed at the moment?

Do they "get dumped" as well so I can preserve them as OEM? Or do I only dump the "base ROM"?

And what about the Reg tweaks? Do they get dumbed aswell?

Thanks for the help..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] AssimilatorX:

First of all thanks lolek74 for the nice tutorial. I managed to cook my 1st rom and flashed successfuly on my Diamond. But then I got greedy and addeded some more programs to my 2nd rom, flashed and got the following. By the way at the end of cooking rom it did say OK.

I pasted it from my other thread to get some help from lolek74 or anybody else who experienced the same.

Hi People

I think I have really bricked my Diamond for sure. I have read all the threads related to this problem and have tried all the possible fixes but to no avail.

Here is the problem: It is stuck on the first screen after tri colour screen showing the RGD info in red ink at the bottom right cornor. Pc wont recognize it and Active Sync 4.5 on xp is grey, not green.

I have done a few Hard resets and Soft resets. I have Olinex Hard Spl installed. Had Dutty's 1.6 working perfectly when decided to cook my own with Surface Kitchen. My first cooked rom worked fine and then I cooked another one with same base Stock rom , adding som programs and bam, this thing happened.

Please Help Help and yes I had flashed the same Diamond with every available cooked rom with no problem.

Thanks in advance. Lets not Die this beautiful Jewel.

After flashing this rom diamond got stuck on the flash screen like I mentioned above in my other post.

So was this rom missing any valuable data?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GriFolle:
Hi all.

I REALLY NEED AN HELP:

I made this:

1) Extracted all files from the .exe rom base.

2) Putted them into base folder of the kitchen and clicked on begin.

3) When the program finish its job I've (in the kitchen folder) oem/sys/...folders extracted from the rom.

Now, if I go to see into one program folder (in the OEM or SYS folder), I have not .dsm and .rgu files, but just others: some dll or similar (it depends from the program)...IT IS NORMAL?

It is as I tried to open a "protected" rom by bepe or panosha...but I'm using the ITA last official version downloaded from htc website!!! A STOCK ROM!

Another one thing: My base contains also radio and spl modules i think (due it is the official htc upgrade). But when I decompress it I can't see anything about this and so I putted all the files in base rom folder of the kitchen.

Made something wrong? Or can I continue and go to the real COOK step?!

Thank you all.

@Grifolle

Patience, patience. Please kee in mind that people that come to this thread learn too. Other people didnt had that problem and migh not know how to help you. And many others visit these forums once in a while.

As for your question. I'm using WWE version and it has contain lots of .dsm and a few .rgu files. If it is not a problem please use the rom provided in the 1st post and after extraction compare to yours. If you will find all the files you missing in your rom it might be a problem. If anyone use ITA rom please comment on that. You wont need spl and you can keep you curret radio. That will slightly reduse flash time. If you need a radio or flash screen you will be able to include it in your rom in the create rom step (cooking).

@ smogdragon

Sorry I didnt get that far yet. I use reg editor on the PC to tweak it on PPC (after flashing).

@mondilv

I flashed at last 30 times past 5 weeks. Had no problems. (your unit might behave differently).

What I always do is I remove all ringtones I dont need. Cook a ROM flash it and then copy ringtones to the Rings subfolder in the Windows folder (on the device).

Modify the CAB file

It lets you modify the CAB file, either for direct manual install to phone, or the source CAB for a package when cooking a ROM. You can also create your own CAB file.

For other poster, you can edit registry (add/modify) in the CAB file. Search and try out WinCE CAB Manager.
