Expressing my gratitude for your work making this available to us.

Been using the v3 for a month. All working, except the screen dimming, which is now fixed with the new v3.5.

What is still unresolved is that screen or system notifications stay displayed for about a minute before disappearing. This is not fixed with the new update.

How can I eddit files to fix this manually?

After a full wipe: reflash of the rom:

Thank you for your help

[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jemsgsm:
I was able to fix google connection and camera issues:

Full wipe, reinstallation v3.0, blocking of galaxy store updates

Reinstallation v3.5.

Everything works fine (automatic brightness, screen off at the programmed time, camera, google services)

It's perfect. Autonomy and stability over time remains to be seen.

Had the same problem with logon into google account servers in v3.5 and coulnd get a workaround.

Installed 3.0 and after the NO SIM Service Fix that DustyRust sugested, in page 5 wiht the disable of send diagnostic data, only thing not working is the Timeout off screen.

Already downclock cpu to 1014mhz with Kernel Adiutor because battery was draining very fast.

Are you thinking of a "liter" version without the samsung apps?

[Samsung Galaxy A40 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Lotharioss:
I use the SHRP with their current version, as the TWRP wasn't working.

I am actually happy with the ROM except the screen notifications appearing for more than a minute. If I can be guided to editing files manually to reduce the display time of the screen notifications, I see no reason to upgrade.

Model number is SM-N980F

[Sony Xperia XA2 Questions & Answers] Spooman:
Hi All,

First post here and apologies for the length.

I have a new XA2 4113 which is crashing on the Android first time setup screen after I have flashed stock ROM with Emma which I had to do as I messed up a TWRP flash. Same/similar issue as: https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xa2/help/flash-to-stock-xperia-rom-t4019873.

Full timeline:

New XA2 unlocked, boot out of box, allow OTA update to 9.0 (first mistake I believe), unlock bootloader. All good so far.

Attempt to flash TWRP, made a mess of it by running fastboot flash rather than fastboot boot (second mistake), phone bricked.

Eventually recover phone to usable fastboot/flashmode state. Attempt to use Flashtool to flash stock, didn't work (after more research I find that Flashtool is not suitable for newer Sony phones).

Used Newflasher to flash various ROMs, either get stuck in bootloop on SONY logo or have the same problem crashing at first time setup screen.

Flash AOSP 8.1, phone boots and is usable. Flash GApps (various sizes, all correct 8.1 versions) phone bootloops. This may well be me not flashing Gapps properly.

Try Lineage 17.0, phone boots but many issues with apps freezing (I probably didn't install Lineage correctly).

Install EMMA, flash stock ROM 50.1 & 50.2, same problem crashing at first time setup whichever ROM is used.

Used EMMA to flash both A and B partitions (by changing active partition in fastboot between flashes, and also letting the phone boot after flash then flashing again). Same issue with crashing at first time setup when booting from A, however when booting from B phone is stuck in bootloop at SONY logo.

TL:DR, phone crashes on stock ROM on partition A, won't boot on partition B.

My initial aim was to have sony stock ROM with root. I now fear that I have permanently damaged partition B.

If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve my issues they would be much appreciated. Failing that if anyone can recommend a custom ROM that is close to SONY stock that I could use instead that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Carty:
There is a thread in this forum which has a simple to use kitchen. Using it is just easy as Steps 1-2-3.. But it doesn't work for some ROMs, atleast for me. By far, it is a great tool simplified in batch files.

Are you using the same tool or your own customised one?

Could do my... i just finished my one yesterday a perfect clean rom not staffed wth litter....i used the surface kitchen and based on ce 0s 5.2 20273 wwe a bit customized the manila that's all....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mujja:
Is it a clean ROM with most apps removed? Do you want to share please.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] daltonics:
Good initiative!

I really want to know what is the true performance of the Diamond, running it with just the minimum required.

Even when disabling TF3D and other extras, I find it so slow compared to other WM phones having less MHz... I just don't understand why.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lolek74:
Uploading my ROM now. It is slow. I will post the link tomorrow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttythroy:
Just a tip, A clean rom is very good if you going to stick with what you got in the rom and possible a few otther apps by cabs, If your going to installed the same apps which are in a full rom then the clean rom with those apps in will make you lose valuable storage space rather than them cooked in and sometimes device will start to feel sluggish but it all depends on how many cabs youre going to re-install.

TIps , there are certain apps which are cooked in doesnt take up any storage space but if install by cab you will then use up valuable space.

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] salada2k:
Really? Dutty, could you please explain that a little bit further? Don't we have a set amount of storage space? i.e. If you cook some apps in, then you lose some of that space. If you add them later, you lose some of that space. But at least you could uninstall them.

So please correct me if I have misunderstood and I'm only guessing, but are you saying there is a part of the ROM that is only available to the OS 'image', and cannot be accessed in the normal way once the device is up and running? And are you using that space to install some apps? If so, how much space in the 'OS image' part of the ROM is available for that purpose? I would like to start cooking my own ROM's, but I don't want to waste ANY storage space that I am not forced to.

I would really appreciate if you could shed a little light on that for me! Cheers :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Thanks, this is great.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttythroy:
bascally there some programs which ar cooked in for e.g Remote desktop, If cook this in its 1.45mb I think, I will only use up only about .45mb and save 1mb of storage space, If i install this by cab I would use up all of the 1.45mb storage space
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] zme999:
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] salada2k:
Thanks for the reply, so what is the reason behind that... How can that 1MB be shaved off? Is it compression?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] surface_rom:
And to top this, apps that are cooked run faster than an installed cab.

But for some, a ultra light rom works becouse they have not ,uch progs to use, and need to install less cabs.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adwinp:
Just a short notice, lolek:

I see you've extracted the kitchen to your profile folder.

You'd better extract it to the root of your drive, like C: or D:

batch files have a tendency to disliking spaces in file/folder names as well as names longer than 8+3.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] duttythroy:
exactly also if you look at some of the benchmarks as well the lite roms are not much better or even some of the full roms are faster, so its all about what u really need in the rom, if your going to install everything back in your rom with cabs, its better to go with a full rom
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lolek74:
Thanks for the input. This is what I was hoping for. The aim is to have simple tutorial for anybody to create their own ROMs. I'm off to work tonight but I'll update 1st post tomorrow.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lolek74:
I have updated 1st post. It shows how to convert cab files to packages and add them to the rom. I apologize for the slow progress but I'm still learning myself.

I have asked around how to update framework and OS. As soon as I get reply and test it I’ll post it here.

I know there many experienced cooks so please don’t be shy and help create this guide.

Hello

One simple question:

Which the difference between including packages in OEM and SYS?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] l3v5y:
In cooked ROMs, very little.

In shipped ROMs, the SYS is the base ROM provided by Microsoft, and the OEM is what is added in by the OEM (e.g. HTC) and includes device specific drivers and applications. The SYS is resolution specific, but generally not device specific.

Do i just replace the SQL package which you provided with the one present on the ROM.. Or Do i have to make some modifications ??

BTW... Can anyboy tell me is SQL CE package used for in a ROM ??.. And is there a way to find out which version of SQL CE is present on my device ??!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NitroOnTheRocks:
This is how i do it and it seems to work

Just replace these folders for SQL: "SqlCeMobile" and "SqlCeMobile_Lang_0409", you have to leave this folder in SYS: SQLCE, don't touch it.

Can't help you with the version checking, although there is a program to check wich netcf version is installed called "NETCF Version"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dpakrawal:
Thanks mate... Will do it as you have adviced.. BTW I just checked the package.. There are some cab files in the package also.. Do i need any of them ?!?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] NitroOnTheRocks:
No, only these folders are from package:

SqlCeMobile

SqlCeMobile_Lang_0409

just replace these in SYS

thanks

hey guys, i just waned to thank everybody on this tutorial, it is great to have experienced shefs in here.

yesterday i read everything in this thread, and gues what, today i have my own rom 1.97.170.4 (but costumized), i removed all unnecessary stuff, now i have the same rom with minus 15 mb from SYS and minus 6mb from OEM plus new netcf.

today i will see if it acts diferently,

once again thanks

Q: default rom had 80 mb of total storage and now i have 93 mb total storage, for releasing the storage, should i remove packages from SYS or OEM, because i see a lot of shefs have their roms with total 150 mb.

is there any trick or i just have to release sys and oem, because to come close to 150 mb, i dont know what the hell should i remove.

any ways, thanks alot

p.s. now i am going to learn and try out some reg tweaks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nblakqori:
Quote:

3) How to make my personal tweaks to the registry?

Simplest way is to create a new OEM pack.

Using Ervius package creator, you can "complete an OEM pack" using a new folder (one with nothing in it), and then in the created RGU file (open it in notepad), you can add lines to install registry tweaks.

Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]

"limit"=dword:32768

would increase the glyphcache.

hi all, if i want to change the above registry, which oem pack should i complete?

the only folder that i found was gdiplus.dll folder and gdiplus.dll file.

Should i complete the gdiplus.dll folder and then in the rgu add the reg tweak?

thanks in advance,

sorry, may be my questions are a bit noobish, but i will never learn if i dont ask.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nblakqori:
OK guys,

since this is only learning process for me, i am not going to open new threads and i thought i would share this cooked ROM.

Base ROM: Swisscom official 1.97.170.4 WWE (i used this since i found it very stable and i like the white manila)

i removed a lot of stuff from sys and oem (so the ones that i never use) and i came up to free storage of 80.39 mb (stock had 45mb free storage) and free ram of 61.40 mb (after the soft reset).

it has new NetCF 3.5

and schaps advanced config 3.3.

i have tested this rom almost 2 days and it works perfectly for me (so no prob at all, since i didnt mess up with things that i dont know and left them exactly as in stock rom)

if some one can help me with the questions regarding the tweaks at the above post, may be one day i will give you a nice rom.

thanks,

No, that is great because when you do not cook in CVSD, you have the option to put in MSVC, CVSD, or Cyberon Voice commander as a cab.
