[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
try this..... open notification manager ext pkg and recmod(module to file) NTFConfig.dll. then also add this to an app.reg to run at end of kitchen.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Skip1stBooting"=dword:1

and your rom should boot up fine, as long as you check the real 6.5 nk.exe in kitchen.
[Windows Mobile] huggy_72:
Thank you very much this works!!!

first time sense don't lunch , SR and it's start.
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:
On a slightly different note shane may be you can help me. I tried the new kaiser 6.5 nk and cooking using this kitchen but kitchen fails when build Rom bat starts. Any ideas:confused:

Secondly last time you helped me fix RAM issue on resource proxy, However I notice that you guys have Storage memory of 130 mb or so, I have 113.05mb how do I fix that?
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
dump stock kaiser rom with this kitchen then rebuild. use that for your base and add new stuff a lil at a time to find out what the problem is.
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:
So this is for both questions?
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
its according to how big your ext pkgs are, when i use the new mega i dont have much storage either ;)
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:
I understand But what I am trying to say is the Total initial storage memory:

Say: Total :130 (here is my concern not on free memory)

in use: 30 (Depends on size of xt pkgs, agreed)

Free: 100 (Factor of above)

My Issue is that I have 113 on Total-Is that what you are addressing?

Thanks again.:confused:
[Windows Mobile] shah1237:
hi,

i downloaded the 24001 sys packages.

the files are not as per the directory structure accepted by the kitchen.

can you provide me some documentation about the directory structure of sys folder.
[Windows Mobile] shah1237:
hello,

i cooked the rom , but was getting the same non boot problem,where the screen is stuck on organge text showing radio version.

i looked into the ext directory and i have notification enhancement directory.

under that folders .dll files are there.

do you think tat is the problem.

i should convert all .dll files to module except ntconfig.dll?

using the visual kitchen today (after many time that i used it without problems) i'd receive a segnalation from my Kaspersky Antivirus (Original License) about the file "erviuskitchen.exe" is infected by a backdoor.trojan called Bifrose.cfsl.

So I attempt to download from xda a new copy of the file and obtain this:

i too am getting this now from erviuskitchen.exe and mtty.exe and just because it didnt get reported before doesnt automatically mean it is a false positive. it could just as easily be that the virus (if it really is) was unknown until recently and it has now been discovered and the updates allow it to be picked up.

Hi, I'm new to the kitchen and just successfully created my first ROM, or so I thought, until my Vogue got stuck on the first screen. Attached is my build log. Would appreciate any help.
[Windows Mobile] twopumpchump:
looks like you excluded half of the system lol...try cooking the whole thing and see if that boots :) also im not sure if your vogue has a native 6.5 nk.exe available, but if it does you need to use it. if not, you should try recmodding(module to file) all the modules inside browsing, browsingie, browsingcore.
[Windows Mobile] Lewy1:
Thanks. Will try cooking whole SYS, but I find it a little hard to believe that it's the cause of my problems, being that I only excluded non essential parts of the SYS. I have successfully cooked before with similar exclusions (using PPCk). By the way the Vogue doesn't have a 6.5 nk. Thanks again.

How to cook in a different language

I've searched and searched but still seem to be missing something, so I hope someone here will be able to help me.

I would like to cook a ROM in my language (040D) and I need to know what exactly I need to change in my kitchen. As of now I added 040D language folders in all the sub folders of my SYS directory besides the 0409 folders that were already there, but I still have only 0409 showing up in the dropdown menu of the visual kitchen.

I know that I need to change some stuff in some other folders but I'm not sure exactly what is needed. Is that why it's not showing up in the menu. I thought that I need to change initflashfiles.dat but it only shows up in my kitchen in the temp folder after the cooking process started.

As for the OEM folders does anything need to be changed or can I just leave it as is (there is no stock ROM in my language so I can't get what I need from a dumped ROM).

Thanks
[Windows Mobile] ervius:
I've found good solution....

I check on payload and results are:

800

200

or

0

new bat has new %variable% setted to:

mergilo = "..\TOOLS\IMGFS\NBMerge -kaiser OS-new.nb"

If blocco = "0" Then

mergilo = "REM "

End If

If blocco = "200" Then

mergilo = "..\TOOLS\IMGFS\NBMerge -hermes OS-new.nb"

End If

and then writes the variable %mergilo% on bat

so or execute nbmerge -kaiser /-hermes or is "REM "

;)

tonight I'll post new 2.7 version :)

bye!!!
[Windows Mobile] ervius:
ok, version 2.7 ready at 1st post.....

[Windows Mobile] caspar007:
Hi Ervius, thx for this cool work.

I found a little beauty mark on your tool. I tried to dump an original Artemis rom as a clean base for cooking, so I gave your tool an RUU_Signed.nbh.

Everthing is running fine, the extraction process is working like a charm.

All OEM and SYS files/folder where moved to their direction.

Your tool wants to move my os.nb.payload to the ROM location - and here it hits the spot - NBSplit is useless on Artemis (and Wizard + Athena and a few more) - we don't have any extra data in our os.nb - so NBSplit doesn't create no payload file!

My short work around: breaking down my RUU_Signed.nbh to os.nb - and just renaming it to os.nb.payload :rolleyes: feeding the kitchen

Unfortunately the way back is a little bit harder to fix. NBmerge is obsolete (you can just rename your os-new.nb.payload to os-new.nb - it works) but it's really hard to find the location in your batch-files to "REM" out this line or changing it with a simple rename...

here your tool stops with an error (error executing kitchen_build_rom.bat) - curiously the RUU_Signed.nbh is created but not working :-( -

NBMerge 2.1rc2
Executing ..\TOOLS\IMGFS\NBMerge with data chunk size = 0x200 and extra chunk size = 0x8
on file OS-new.nb

Just give it a try by yourself, here is a link to my Artemis file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/171588347/RUU_Artemis_TMO_DE_3.15.111.2_4.1.13.50_03.06.90_Ship.exe

(it's the latest official file you get from german T-Mobile for Artemis -- just try to do a full run of extract, take out Office from the system and rebuild, then you see what I mean)

I really like your tool and would be happy to see this small issue fixed :D

Greetings from lang_0407 ;) Caspar

p.s. just a small idea for improvement: if it's an 'unknown_device' just ask the chef what type it is :cool:

p.p.s Bepe's platformrebuilder (his new kitchen) has the same strange behavior, but in bepes kitchen a simple text-search fixed my issue
[Windows Mobile] ervius:
well....

I'll try to insert another important info into "info.txt" stored into rom\%device%\ folder, so the visualkitchen will be able to know if need or not the "nbmerge" command in build rom ;)
[Windows Mobile] ervius:
ok, problem on nosplit for non needed devices solved:

you have to add a new line into rom\%device%\info.txt,

you have to add:

NOSPLIT

as new line into info.txt, if your device doesn't need to nbmerge on payload.....

if you have yet saved rom, you can edit them with notepad adding at last line where you can see the "#" char:

like:

NOSPLIT#NOSPLIT

so you can have:

...........

Chunk#1024

OS_Id#0X400

NOSPLIT#NOSPLIT

OEMAPPS

OEMDrivers

OEMMISC

OEMOPERATORS

OEMVERSION

........

You need to create a folder here too, and edit or replace the initflashes.dat in there to match.

...\OEM\{DEVICE}\0409\OEM_Lang_0409

Search your ROM for "0409" and "1033" and decide if you need to edit any values found, or need those packages in your language.

Issue

Hi All,

I am trying to build a ROM using visual kitchen. However I am seeing the following issue with it :

1. The CHome screen is not seen even after selecting it in Settings->Today. I am using build 21890.

2. I don't have any problems with directly using PRB from bepe for same build.

3. As far as I understand, only the folder structure of VK and PRB are different (along with some more things like LZX compression/UI in VK) and VK internally uses PRB.

Can anyone please let me know what could be the possible solution for this issue?
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:
Do you have base, bronze, BronzeAE in SYS? and the CPR files in BronzeEA for your resolution?
[Windows Mobile] chota_shivaji:
Hey Hi,

- As I mentioned before, I am able to get a good working ROM is I directly use bepe's PRB instead of VK.

Any more clues?
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:
Did you manually edit the CPR. I play a lot with the CPR and happens to me half the time. Try getting your CPR from another sys and overwrite those in \Windows and Restart device if it appears then you know it was the CPR:)
[Windows Mobile] epsilon8888:
Anybody got an idea of how to customize start menu folders with Os-kitchen or atleast where the folders ares located?:confused:
[Windows Mobile] Mach2003:
First look here:

...\OEM\{YourDevice}\{YourLanguage}\OEM_Lang_{YourLanguage}\initflashfiles.dat

- Lines like these create folders:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu"):-PermDir("Programs")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu"):-PermDir("Settings")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-PermDir("Base")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-PermDir("Utility")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-PermDir("INet")

- These create a shortcut, note the hex escape sequence is actually text ("Notes.lnk"), decode them here.

Directory("\Windows"):-File("Setup E-mail.lnk","\Windows\acctwiz.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Base"):-File("\x004E\x006F\x0074\x0065\x0073\x002E\x006C\x006E\x006B","\Windows\notetake.lnk")

Registry entries for Icons and position can be done anywhere (app.reg), by default they are in the sys as "\shared\0409\Base_Lang_0409\mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml". If Group is "1" it a folder.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Alarms.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Alarms.png"
"Rank"=dword:35a4ec9d

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Base]
"Group"=dword:00000001
"ItemPosition"=dword:00000004

Any app.dat file can also create a shortcut.

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Base"):-File("Adobe Reader.lnk","\Windows\Adobe Reader LE.lnk")
[Windows Mobile] epsilon8888:
Thank you very much that was very helpful:)
[Windows Mobile] DomSim:
speaking of shorcuts, anyone know how to get rid of the "home" shortcut in the start menu? i have tried in vain to find and get rid of it. i have resorted to just making the icon tansparent so i cannot see it but the text "home" still shows up :(
[Windows Mobile] Mach2003:
Have you tried to delete this key?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Today
[Windows Mobile] Staxxthedan:
Try knocking it off with a mortscript during customisation. I think that one behaves same like the widgets shortcut and difficult to get rid of.but a script during custmisation will ensure that whatever the case you win...:)
[Windows Mobile] DomSim:
yeah, that is mostly just a reference to what icon is displayed for the app. removing it just shows the default icon (which is the same, but i know this as i change it to completely transparent so i dont see it and deleting this key reverts that)

I would, if i could find it. if you look in start menu\programs, its not there. there is not .lnk to be found. it is just there uggggg thanks for the suggestions though

[Windows Mobile] cruiserrr:
simply use the search function in EVK ! it can be in initialflashes and in a sys provxml file that cooks the basic start menu. Usually it is in mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml but can this shortcut creation can be duplicated in several files, in the oem and ext folders. It is written with mxipinit which means is quite persistent.

Strange Issue

Hi All,

I managed to cook a ROM with VK recently. However, I am seeing 1 issue which is as follows :

- Sometimes I observe that the ROM with CHome only (as home screen) consumes approx ~50% of free RAM i.e. the total memory consumption is >50%.

- The total memory used by various processes (in task manager) does not match the above consumption. It is always approx ~30%.

Can anyone please help me in this regards? Is such behavior related to page pool in any way? This is because, it seems that VK does not "remember" the page pool set for the last time (even if the configuration is saved in .erv file), i.e. after reboot of PC the page pool is always set to 6.

Also does reducing page pool increases the memory consumption?

Please help with problem cooking EXT

Please help.

I converted some OEM's with Package_Rebuilder and placed them in my EXT/VOGU10000/Common folder but for some reason they were not cooked into my ROM although the build log shows that they are included in the ROM. I tried placing them in the specific build folder [EXT/VOGU10000/23529] but had the same problem. Build log attached.

This happened with all my EXT files, so what am I doing wrong? Any ideas?

Does this have any relation to PP?

Now the problem is when i execute EVK.exe and load a saved ROM the files don't appear in this manner...

and even when i execute the build they get cooked in the order of arrangement in EVK.exe and not the EXT folder...

And this does not cause the required overwriting...

and causes a unstable ROM cook..

please help..

this would be really appreciated guys.

thanks alot.
