Error 270 means the file you have downloaded has become corrupted while downloading. Please download it again. Also is your SPL already patched?
[P3400 ROM Development] BesFen:
Do not use pkgtool, use DMP2PKG and open missing.txt file, you will find the location of every files.

I don't know why, but sometime pkgtool and dmp2pkg can't move files to the spcific location.

Sumit's ROM still UNPROTECTED
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Yes Zinzar, Besfen is right. My ROMS are and will always be unprotected unless i am selling them which of course is not possible under law ;) . Sometimes, some particular sys versions have this problem. I even recreated all the DSM files so that the packages get created properly in all my latest ROMs. I dont really know why this is happeneing.
[P3400 ROM Development] Pank789:

tried dumping and simplying rebuilding didnt work .. :(

SPEED IS UPTO INFINITY..
[P3400 ROM Development] dheerajk27:
Hi Sumit,

May be you have closed development on this ROM (I am not sure). But, for your ProUsers WM 6.5 Edition v4.0 (build 21812), you have mentioned that you are inroducing some new memory management system introduced in WM 6.1 and 6.5 (using some initvmmap.exe file). So, I presume the same was not used in this ROM. Just was curious to know whether you have any plans to implement the same in this ROM as well, as I feel this is the best stable ROM for Gene around.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
No Dheeraj the development hasn't stopped and Yes, i will introduce the changes in this version too. The problem is, as you might know from the 6.5 thread, old gene xip is giving problem and i am sorting it out. Once we have a working full 6.1 capable xip for both, i will focus on this one too. ALso the Wm 6.1 build 21051 is out but qvga is not available right now. So i think we will meet both these requirements in a little while and then i will update it. :) Dont worry, these 3 ROMs (Pro Users 6.1, VanillaManila, and Pro Users 6.5) represent different user groups and i will keep updating all the 3 of these. But i can only do it turn by turn :)
[P3400 ROM Development] dheerajk27:
Nice to know that. And hats off to your patience, persistence and generosity shown towards all of us, Gene users!
[P3400 ROM Development] tendulkardr:
hi sumit

i would like to go back to 6.1 pro

but i do not get the slide to unlock

and slide to answer the call,

again my request for incoming call announcement

sorry sir

but i/ we require these things

that makes the gene different from the original
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Then install the dialer man, whats the problem. But i will spare those who dont want it, including me. :o

Need M2D Build 1.20.19131530.00 Package

Hi Sumit,

I need the manila 2d build 1.20.19131530.00 OEM package from this ROM. I tried to recook this ROM but as you know there were some issues while using pkgtool.

Could you please provide me a link to this M2D build or can you please upload it somewhere?

Thanks always,

Pro Users ROM 6.1 Edition v2.7 with CE OS 5.2.21051 (Build 21051.1.6.4) coming soon!

- Small changes and bug fixes in overall ROM.

- EZInput 2 Keyboard with et9 removed (it wasnt working anyways, and taking about 4 MB extra space)

- HTC Album with Video Support.

- Windows Live is back.

- Old Gene Camera is back (this one was quiet difficult to achieve, I had to look at the Camera.exe with Microsoft Dependency Viewer to find out what dlls it depends upon. I copied these dlls to the Camera folder and Voilla! It worked, even with DirectShow 2.0 running) :)

Phone Memory : ~45 MB, RAM: 28.72 MB, with CAM Loader : 31.72 MB, Page Pool: A very stable 5 MB PP, 4 MB gives hang problems in standby mode many times.

I think this time, the ROM will be dumpable. If its not, i will post the XIP and SYS, fully tweaked by me.

when can we have new rom version dear?r u cooking or on wm 6.5?which rom u use personally>>>>
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Well, i will upload it tonight most probably as i may get an interview call tomorrow and God knows when after that, i will be able to do it. So its gonna be tonight. All thats remaining is Old gene xip porting, 15 mins of work.

I personally always use the ROM that i updated recently. I have said this before too, first of all, i make the ROM for myself, when it works out good, I share it :) So currently i am using WM 6.1 Pro Users v2.7 build 21051 and its working superb!! So much Speed, So much Battery and So much responsiveness, its the best Pro Users ROM yet, by me. And i am so much relieved having my Old Gene camera back. The zoom works well now, as described in the Getting Started guide of Gene. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] tendulkardr:

Camera issue

When the camera is on, I see some numbers (15,16) keeps blinking in the left hand side bottom part of the screen... I am using old gene...

[P3400 ROM Development] go4thomman:
camera problem........

i also have this same problem.....some numbers 15 and 16 are blinking on screen... ...when i press left direction button in camera mode....its getting loading loading and after nearly one minute finally its stucked in a white screen....i am using new gene.when i press right direction button..no problem... i tried hard resetting my gene and also i reflashed with the same rom.... but the problem still exists..........some one please help!!!.... otherwise no problem...very fast and stable......battery life is also good.....

previosly i ws using wm 6.1 pro 2.5 ..it had no such problems.... sorry for bothering you sumit......
[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
I also faced the same issue, when we press the directional arrows on the top left of our camera screen to change the camera modes, after reaching the end of options the device goes into a loading mode, though we can kill camera.exe by using task manager, however on re-starting the camera, the device again goes back into the loading mode, I killed camera.exe and then did a hard-reset, Now it's normal, though we have to be careful changing the modes, else if we reach the end of the options then the device will again go back to loading mode...:eek:
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I confirm the camera problem. Actually i have enabled a camera mode and a few settings that were not present on gene originally, in registry and i think that is causing the problem. I will post a fix very soon. BTW, the blinking numbers is FPS counter :)

Actually the camera was still in a kind of experimental stage, so sometimes things like these happens. But i have set it to store on Storage Card by default, and accidentally the Shutter Sound is off, enable it in settings if you want.

@Danny: You didnt needed a hard reset :D You just need to kill camera and then while starting it again, just quickly press the right direction key to switch mode. Exit Camera, and Restart it. :)

EDIT: Camera Fix is now available in Post #2 :)
[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
thanks so much for the camera fix buddy, works just perfect...:)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Theres one more thing to fix in the camera app. Right now the last mode, Burst, is not working properly. It takes only one photo instead of 30. I may remove it coz the sports mode does just that with 10 photos. What say guys?
[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
think that would be the final step required to make this The Best Rom (in terms of speed and stability) for gene...:)

[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
@Krazy

I used this rom for couple of days loaded with spb and after 2 days of extensive usage, free ram dropped to a constant 18mb..:) , until my liking of colored task bar icons got the better of me and I re-flahed Vanilla 3.1.1 and this time I loaded spb on this rom and disabled Manilla and after 8-10 hours of extensive usage (& running hibernate once..:D)..the device has 24-25 mb of free ram...:D

Is memory management better in the older build or has it got something to do with the liasion of spb with the rom...:confused:
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Danny: There is no fixed benchmarking on memory usage actually. Sometimes, it depends on things happening inside the device at particular times. For example, you loaded a programs, its dlls are cached by the caching driver. Now this cache is not emptied many times due to random issues, for reuse, or because of being in use at the time when the attempt to empty the cache was initiated. Or may be a memory leak happened due to a particular action in an app. You cant very much predict it. FOr me, the Free RAM sticks at about 28 MB throughout the 3 days of battery backup with HTC Home, Calender and Tasks plugins running and Camera Loader setup. PLus, different builds of ROM have different RAM consuming properties. So i would say, use whatever works best for you. If you feel 21046 is running better, download the XIP and SYS i have provided, make a ROM around it and use :)

EDIT: Did you diabled voice commands?? It starts up automatically in this new ROM. That also takes quiet much memory. Also note that tmail.exe and pword.exe are not running in background. Sometimes, these two dont terminate properly with HTC Task Manager. You need to use dotfred's task manager.

@ALL: The Camera Application, after applying the fix is working OK. I was in doubt that Burst mode is not working but its allright. To use Burst Mode, one has to keep the Capture button pressed and it will take photos one by one upto 30 photos. The Sports mode is different as it takes 10 photos without keeping the button pressed.

The only bug that remains is that in Normal Photo Mode, the Send via Email button, in the Review Screen (after taking photo) doesn't works, atleast with Camera Loader setup. Otherwise, I am happt to tell that Camera is fully functional :)
[P3400 ROM Development] danny7837:
@Krazy : Thanks so much for the reply :), I did disable voice commander but really missed on tmail.exe and pword.exe...:D

Old gene radio prob with 6.7

@ Sumit; I also confirm the Radio problem about old gene and PU 6.1 2.7 in the 6.5 thread by someone. , I went off from VM3.1.1 and flashed Pro Users 6.1 2.7, And I lost my network, In network tab, I could put manual and search and find networks, but it is simply refucing to connect. and then I flashed some 6.5 rom and it was good. I flash PU 6.1 2.7 back and again lost network. And now I am back to VM3.1.1, running with No problem. This is on Old Gene. Sumit, there may be a thing ere for you to explore. One other thing..

@Crazy, Ankit, Ramersonw,

Previously when I boot up my Olg gene, I got this SPL OS, those details on the usual HTC startup screen and then it goes to boot screen, (Usually). But ever since I flash a some 6.5 rom (PDAvite, I think) the nice HTC splash screen is gone and it is sgowing "Smart Mobility". Guys, how can I restore the original HTC splash? Or can we just put a picture, what ever we want? Can anybody drop a tool over this?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Are you people trying a restore from a full backup after you flash the ROM, using SPB Backup, SKTools Backup or something like that?

This only happened for me when i tried that. Never take full backup from one ROM and restore it on another as it replaces the registry settings unqiue to that ROM. PIMBackups can be used, but not full backups using tools like i mentioned above.
[P3400 ROM Development] nisalatp:
Maybe sumit. You are correct. But the Sprite Backup claims is can go across various devices and platforms. Thats why I was feeling like doing that. Maybe Sprite sucks morethan it apears!!! :D:D:D
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Nope, you are getting it wrong. By saying that it can go various devices and platforms, they mean that the program works across a multitude of devices and platform, which is true. But resotring a complete backup taken from one ROM onto another will always lead to problems as a complete backup contains files+folders from your phone memory (which change from ROM to ROM) as well as Registry (which is heavily modified with each rom), So restoring a complete backup across ROMs will almost always call for a disaster :eek: . Even if it works sometimes, you will never get the performance/feature benefits of the new ROM properly.

PIMBackup on the other hand only replaces the Contacts, Calender, Messages, Emails and Tasks and none of these is system related data. Its personal information and hence can be copied across ROMs, devices, platforms whatever. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] nisalatp:
No sumit, Sprite Claims that it can be extracted to totally different ROM or PDA. Have a look at their manuel. It has so called competibility mode. By this way I was doing it for long time. This is how I migrated from VM1 to vm2 to VM3 to VM3.1. theres was no problem. I even have gone to WM 6.5. No prob was there. Ofcaures I understand you are correct. Maybe spriye was doing magic, but thistime, the spell was broken. I think you may have a look at it. :D:D:D

Another Great ROM from the master chef!

thanks for the great ROM (so far).

Great speed and the icing on the cake is the Keyboard. finally no need for a third party kbd. Also love GS finder (though was present on earlier rom too).

thanks again. wil give you a detailed feed back later on :)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Ankit: The build was provided by Da_G, dont remember where. The DPI are from 21046. There are no tweaks as such, just replaced .NET CF, Added WIndows Live, Deleted AutoUpdate etc and changed a few provxmls etc. Not much. But did made it ready to use, providing the complete Wm 6.1 experience, as Microsoft ships it.

@Additcted: Thanks buddy, i am also using this one right now, performing fabulously well. I am not even feeling like going back to 6.5 with the speed this ROM is offering. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] mGforCe:
Hi krazy..

Have just installed the ROM.... two immediate things which I notice are...

1) Network settings for Indian operators not automatically taken..

2) GPRS is not working even after manully putting the settings. I have Airtel.

For first one..I got settings from here ...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1368035&postcount=5

But second one.. no idea how to solve. Any idea from your side ?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Go to Settings>Connections>Connection Setup. Choose India and settings for almost all operators will be there.

Hi Sumit, Facing a little problem with build 21051, not able to see any notifications like as in when checking balance, is this a sys problem or oem ??...
[P3400 ROM Development] ElectroV:
Hi Sumit..

THansk for the ROMs!

I'm on the old gene and currently on the 21051 build.. i felt the wm6.5 to be to slow and somehow struggled with it for more than amonth.. finally switched back.. this rom seems cool, BUT once in a while, the Contacts shows up blank, and opening an sms takes about 30 seconds! Do chk it out and let us know if its a leak or something.. because the free ram shouws 60% when this happens..

BTW the Hibernate app seems great..

Once again, appreciate your hard work on the ROms :) Keep it up buddy..
[P3400 ROM Development] charge1313:
Wow! This rom is fast! I thought I'd miss the neat features in WM 6.5 but I simply don't!!!

And the keyboard rocks! I wonder how they managed to get all the smooth animations to work on an OMAP850?

There seems to be a bug though: The SIP Icon doesn't show up... but the keyboard still activates if you tap on the right place.

EDIT: If you switch to one of the other SIPs and switch back that sip's icon remains - it solves the 'problem'

And windows live is included! @Ankit: I thought you'd decided not to include WL in your roms now that hotmail/live mail has pop3 access? In any case I'm glad - it saves me the trouble of installing it separately.... I prefer it to pop3 access as the WL client gives me contact sync and push email. Its almost like a mini-exchange!
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Coolaj and ElectroV: This is strange, none of the issues you told are happening with me. Are you sure its not because of some 3rd party program you are using. Although the messaging app did takes some time to open at occassions but its not 30 secs. Its about 10-12 secs in my case, with no overclocking of processor.

@charge1313: The OMAP is a really omptimized processor buddy, i sometimes wonder how it manages everything so nicely. Quallacom's processors sometimes are slower in comparision to it.

The error with sip icon is in the OEM itself and you have yourself found the current fix available for it, so kudos to you for that :)

Yes, thats the reason why WL is back. I missed it when it was not there, pop3 does work, but not as well as the sync technology of Win Live. One more thing it provides is integration of live spaces with Pictures and Videos app, which i use sometimes to send my camera shots directly to my space. When i once decided to remove Win Live in favor of POP3, i forgot this pint. And besides all this, right from the beginning MS has treated it as a core technology of Windows Mobile, so i feel something missing if i dont include it :D I dont know why i have these kind of strange feelings :D

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
No the rom isn't protected, but as you know i have messed up my dsms so it may not dump properly. If that is the case, i have also provided the sys and xip, use that to create your own. :)

[P3400 ROM Development] tvk24:
Hi,

I tried the rom it was nice but i always had a passion to use my own cooked rom, so i tried with ur rom and also sys and xip

I used ver 2.5

I am using freshly formatted Win xp sp 2 , .net framework 3 and Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86). I am having old gene.

First I used Ramersonw’s step by step procedure to cook rom , followed the same by creating a folder in C:. it did all fine till creating three folders with a xip for old gene inside the rom folder, mine is old gene.

While using command buildos, it starts creating, then stops with a error

The file 'temp\dump\ …. I tried many times. It dint work.

So then I used Ramersonw's Gene kitchen v1.0b2, I imported the ruu signed nbh file and it did all fine. Since I want to try out to remove some things like office and some programs I don’t use. Thinking it will give some space. And I start creating it all worked fine it was success. But the .nbh size was only 36 mb. I know it wont work cos I read here like it should be around 50 mb,

Then I created some packages from the cab to package and added it, it was success but again I found its only 45 mb. I flashed the gene using the updater and it was all success but it dint boot. Well I had a feeling it wont work.

Then I just cooked the same rom without any changes to see its working fine but it showed only 40 mb. And flashed it same thing it dint boot

. I lastly tried without removing any pack and adding my extra packs and cooked it was all ok and size came 52mb. I thought it will work but it dint.

What’s wrong in my procedure
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
If you have created the kitchen by dumping the ROM in it, i should tell you that since 21042 build, my roms are not dumpable entirely. I have messed up with the dsms somehow which i dont have time to correct. Thats why i provide XIP and SYS along with ROM, so that anybody can create a customized ROM.
