@ervius: another Wizard chef here.

I have been trying to get your visual kitchen to work. I have edited the batch for nbf style ROM. Everything works except I get stuck at the ipl/spl screen.

I watched the processes and did not see anything unexpected.

Do you have a version that just copies the selected items and then executes the batch? That way I can try to control what happens with command lines.

@anyone else: has anyone else got evk working for Wizard?

how to cook cab files?

Hi,

In offical ROM,there is file call like Config_End.txt which you can put command to execute CAB files e.g.

EXEC:\windows\AutoVer.exe

XML: \WINDOWS\Menu_Operation.xml

XML: \WINDOWS\Menu_Opera.xml

CAB: \WINDOWS\Move_Camera.cab

CFG: \Windows\config.txt

It won't work on this kitchen. Did I miss something?

Got a question ya'all... Using EVK to break down the TMOUS released rom.

When I flash, it boots...Shows the tmo splash screen, get's all the way through the first progress bar setting up winmo, and then just hangs right there and doesn't boot...

Do I need to add some setting for the increased memory or something to get it to boot?

How can i create an uncompressed ROM using Visual Kitchen? As far as i know the program uses XPR compression. You can choose LZX but i can't find an option for No Compression.

You need to replace imgfsfromdump with a version that will allow for an uncompressed ROM, and then add the compression flag in the bat file. For example, there's this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=610713

Hi All,

- How can I ensure that current date of phone is not over written by new ROM?

- To elaborate further, I cooked the ROM using EVK successfully. Flashed it successfully to my phone. However, the date and time set at first boot up is not the time set by previous ROM i.e. ROM flashing is updating the time to the default one.

- If I cook the same ROM using bepe's PRB directly, that ROM retains the time and date of previous ROM.

Thanks in advance for help :).
[Windows Mobile] rickou26:
Hello

I cook my ROM since a long time and since the last builds (25008, 23103, 23549 etc.) I encounter the problem here: Some DLLs, some packages are defective after cooking.

Example: my rom boot and is functional, but can not open SMS. I RecMode webview.dll and replaces the one found in the windows directory and it works. I cook my rom with the new DLL recmoded. The SMS are still unreadable. Copy / Paste from my DLL in Windows -> OK. New test by moving the Webview package SYS to EXT. Again impossible to operate SMS.

Have you an idea of the origin of the problem I have is not on the older builds? (I cook with erviuskitchen_V_1_8_1)

OK i just created my ROM with No Compression, XPR, LZX and these are the file sizes:

I hope double the file size is a good trade off on performance.
[Windows Mobile] Mach2003:
I've never tried it but, I bet reading those "double" sized files from the slow "disks" will consume more time than uncompressing the "small" files, thus making the rom slower overall.

init flash files

I have a different approach of creating OEM,EXT packages,

You may not be interested, because it's against standards, but all the same it had proved working fine and doing more good then mess.

It's about not using initflashfiles.txt/app.dat but putting all initflash files in separate folder, maintaining proper folder structure. When flashing rom, it get zipped, packed into cab, and pda would run the cab after flashing, restoring all files to proper positions, it saves quite a lot on space in size and counts of files which are lounging in \windows normally never ment to be used.

In addition, it makes creating cab/ext packages much more easy.

this is how it looks like:

EXT.........\files

________________- all files which rest in \windows folder (all like usual, minus

________________shortcuts and files to put outside \windows)

________\init

________________\windows

________________________all files going to \windows

________________________\start menu

________________________________\Programs

________________________________________\media

________________________________________________shortcuts going to \media folder

________________\application data

________________\storage card

________________________\voices

________________________\raster

OEM\<application1>

________dsm, rgu, and stuff files

OEM.init\<application>.init

________________\windows

________________...

i used to put the big cab on storage card from which i am flashing roms, but with rhodium big ROM it's not really necessary.

this will of course not affect those ext and oems, made in standard format.

They working alongside with the other way.

So if there is interest I can make a small "plugin installation" package.

And why I am posting it here? For it to distinguish on selected/not selected packages, I need _skip files to behave properly. And since I am using erviuskitchen, I have a question if those could/would be fixed.

thanks

and thanks ervius

@ervius

YOUR STUFF IS A GOOD STUFF!! keep it on :)

thanks

I just found out why my ROMs were crashing and not working properly.

It's not really a BUG. but issue, if you play with SYS files too much

I've got this custom, like I noticed other do, that once I change something in SYS package, I'll rename it, to distinguish from others.

BUT NOW. what will happen is, kitchen will just ignore all 'res' and 'lang' daughter packs. And that's nasty. :)

e.g

SYS\19212\SHARED\COMMON\Office - updated, renamed to ~Office

that pak will go ok, but these will be SKIPPED completely:

SYS\19212\DPI_96\0409\Office_Lang_0409_DPI_96

SYS\19212\DPI_96\COMMON\Office_DPI_96

SYS\19212\SHARED\0409\Office_Lang_0409

btw. Is there a way to disable the lock on OEM packages checkboxes?
[Windows Mobile] papo:
bro this looks like you have that file locked, or read-only

in general, there could be troubles if you have a file or folder locked

e.g. you have an harmless little text file in temp folder open in notepad, and when temp folder is going to be deleted on start of rom creating, there comes error.

i am very new in this rom cooking. i cooked only one rom using your kitchen with the mixture of 1.66 and 1.72tm stock roms by changing some folder manually not through your kitchen.

i want to know can i change the contents of the rom through your kitchen??

as i have added some ringtones and wallpapers in the rom manually but when i flashed the rom into hd2 those tones and wallpapers were no where.

and it is just a suggestion .. make a how to use help file with the kitchen. it will be very usefull for the user like us who dont know how the things works in it.as there are many tutorials available but none of them are complete or specific.

and put a function in your kitchen to convert cab files into EXT package directly into the folder with out any tricks and tips automatically.. :)

kindly pm me with the solution. :)

thanks in advance..

and best of luck for future versions of your kitchen.. :)
[Windows Mobile] papo:
you addressing ervius, but I'll try to answer for him some.

yes, that's why rom get divided so nicely into all those folders.

you probably added it in a wrong place.

NOTE if adding (and deleting, changing) files in anywhere else then EXT,

you should rebuild dsm file.

to avoid this, use EXT instead. If you used EXT, you probably placed them wrongly there. Create a folder: \EXT\SHARED\mon_money\mon_money_stuff\files and put them there, don't forget to select - check-include that pkg in kitchen afterwards.

it would just be another tutorial, wouldn't it. There is a lot of stuff about flashing. To make it complete, it would take one a year to write it all down.

It will never be as easy. Problems are, some programs needs some tweaks to make them run from windows folder and so be able to be in rom, partly or fully. Now you trying to put as many files in rom as possible, playing with reg or config files. And after you have working app, you may end up with slightly different folder structure as was intended in cab. Then some cabs have setup.dll meant to execute more code uppon installing, what can create more reg entries or even create or move some files around. It wouldn't be an easy job dissasembling setup.dll and trying to imitate it's actions in different folder location.

As it is. cab2oem (and then oem2ext) will not actualy place your app in rom as well now. it will spare you from installing it after you flash, but it will technicaly not be in rom, and will actually take twice the space it would if you use cab.

So if you don't know exactly how to make oem/ext, just get one already done from here. it's ok to convert oem2ext, problematic is the cab2oem stage.

load rom, save rom - loads and saves

if you want to see warning on overwrite - check warn on overwrite

if you don't know what the rest means, don't press it because it means you don't know what that is for.

OR

press randomly anything from the rest if you don't want working rom

it may looks like i am joking, but not, if you don't know why would you want to convert file to module or use xip porter. why bother knowing HOW to do it?

this kitchen is for 3 categories of users.

while using microsoft word, are you bothering to know how to create applications for Word? How to use it's Integration API.

nope. and me neither. all i am pressing is those buttons I mention and I am happy I don't need to go through all that stuff i needed to years ago. so why just not beeing happy there is one button - job done kitchen?

check for locked files, do restart of pc before if not sure.

best if you trace the problem in bat file, by adding check marks inside.

replace every line stating

Earlier I had my own cooked ROM based on 2.18 with build 21869 files.

I've tried the setup again and it works fine!

A couple months ago I flashed the original WM6.5 of HTC (2.53.405.5) on my device, but as you folks know you want it to your own flavour. ;)

I restarted the kitchen of Ervius (1.8.2) again and as I wrote, the earlier setup cooked fine. I dumped the original .nbh file and replaced the files in the kitchen.

Cooking works fine, flashing too, but the device keeps hanging in the orange status bar screen. :(

Tried again, by only replacing the EXT folder... hangs too! :mad:

Again with only OEM, ROM and SYS....... :mad:

Previous 2.18 kitchen again; :cool: cooking, flashing and restarting!

Someone a solution?

No ROMs Will Boot Past Touch Pro2 Screen

I've been trying to figure this out for awhile and could use some help.

I created a bootable ROM when I first installed the kitchen using SYS/XIP 28223. Then I added Icey's VK builds and since then, every ROM I cook, no matter what SYS and XIP I use won't get past the Touch Pro2 boot screen. The info at the bottom in red doesn't show up and it just stays like that. Any ideas? I tried searching and couldn't find anything pertinent. Thanks.

EDIT* After doing some research, I think I'm including packages that aren't right for my SYS Build. The problem is I have no idea how to go about finding out which SYS and Packages are compatible. XIP Porting is a bit beyond me right now, would take a lot of research to figure out. Can someone point me towards some resource where the info is? My searching hasn't turned up anything.
[Windows Mobile] Captain_Throwback:
@previous two posters

Not sure what EXT packages you're including, but if you happen to be including NTFConfig.dll from the Notification Enhancement 3.x package as a module, it will cause your device to hang when booting. Just recmod the module and include it as a file, and it should allow your device to boot properly.

Also, make sure that you've included wince.nls in the build somewhere (either in the OEMXIPKernel or as a SYS package). That will also cause this issue.
