Notes on using the RSTG_Generic_OEM_V1.09.10 Package

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

A big thanks goes out to ppckitchen.org! I sorta borrowed em to make it all work...

I used the bell mobility rom, it looked more generic than most of the others. If you are using this Generic OEM package, then just select your carrier in BuildOs, that's it! I tested this with Sprint and it works fine. There are some missing items, but your phone will work with these carriers. I will not be uploading NBH packages for these, so you'll have to cook your own! Just don't expect your carrier specific items (gps, sms, music store, etc...) to work "out of the box". It's a kitchen, add some salt from this thread, pepper from that thread, and oregeno from that other site, and work on it until you get it to work! And don't forget to share!

My Notes on my_OEM_Packages....

With this rom I have basically used it to further my knowledge of my tutorials.

--- The Rom sounds are modifed to suite me. The files are in ..\OEM\zzz_My_Sounds_OEM. Check out the initflashfiles.txt to see how I move them, and the RGU file to see the registry settings.

--- My regedits that I added are in ..\OEM\zzz_My_Registry_OEM. The regedits are in the RGU file and can be edited with notepad.exe in Windows Vista/XP.

--- My misc files that I added are in ..\OEM\zzz_My_Files_OEM. The files in this OEM include the banners for the initial bootup and an updated audiopara.csv for the 3.xx roms. Thanks to Deegimus!

--- I prepare the device's Today Screen in ..\Kitchen\OEM\zzz_My_TodayScreen_OEM. This contains the registry edits in the RGU file that are necessary to remove the Items from the Today Screen. Thats it!

--- I organized the device's Start Menu in ..\Kitchen\OEM\zzz_My_Start_Menu_OEM. This contains the file movement commands from ..\Kitchen\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat. I essentially moved them to this OEM's initflashfiles.txt file. You can look in here and get a feeling for how I did it.

DO NOT REMOVE THE FOLLOWING ENTRY THINKING IT IS THE WELCOME CENTER!!!

IT WILL CAUSE YOUR DEVICE NOT TO BOOT!!!

My Thoughts on this...

Ok, this wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it was gonna be, 4-5 days for all this? But now everyone has another kitchen they can use to create custom Roms. I have done most of the hard work for you guys, so do enjoy! When I said I would support this, I meant I will help support you with rom building. Since I have Sprint, I can help you more there. My area of expertise is rom building, I can't really help you with your GPS not working, or you can't use it in Tuskalewwago. For that I'm leaning on the users of PPCGeeks to help out with the different carriers. I appreciate conflipper stepping up and helping with the gps and alltel, and I hope he get's back with an answer. But the point of this project was to give everyone a non-generic rom base to build with. Diamond has been popular so I picked it.

...you guys and gals sure don't have many questions...
