Regarding the battery meter: I have noticed that it disappears sometimes as well. For a workaround just bring up the HTC Task Manager in the upper right corner, and then close it. This bring the battery meter back.

Battery Drain: Are any of you using Blackstone radios? It seems to me that this OS build and Blackstone radios don't agree. Standby seems decent but you can actually watch the meter drop if using the phone :( Damn... I really liked the 1.10.25.25 radio. I guess it makes sense since the v5 kitchen was a 21XXX build and this one is 20764 - an official Raphael build. I am gonna try the radio that comes with the ROM and see how that goes. If not... I guess it's back to the radio thread and testing.

...I think I am turning into a junkie! At least it's cheaper than black tar heroin :)

Wierd (fatal) problem with v5.0 and v3.1 kitchens

I am having a really wierd problem, first with v3.1 kitchen and now with v5.0. I do a hard reset, set the phone up, and it runs great for 1 or 2 days. Then, without any changes on my part, when I press the power button to wake it up, it basically loses it's cookies. The symptom is slightly different each time, but basically the phone becomes unusable and I have to hard reset. Removing the battery and rebooting doesn't help; once this happens, the phone is fried. Usually when this happens I notice that the start menu only shows Programs, Settings, and Today menu items. One time when it happened, the device hard reset itself and went back through setup. Right now it just happened, and now the device is re-running connection manager, the black theme has vanished, and the Start menu has the aforementioned problem.

I'd really appreciate any advice others have on this. I am starting to worry that maybe my phone has a hardware issue. I did run the AT&T crapware for a month or so with no issues, though, so I hope it's just a bug in the ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] crazyC:
So, to summarise issues so far noted:

1. Battery charge does not seem to show correctly. Feedback so far does not indicate whether this corrects over time or not. I have not seen any similar feedback in the thread about the actual rom. likely to be a clash between packages from the new build and other devices.

If this is a permanent issue, any ideas about which files to roll back? (or to add from the new build)

2. potential activesync problem. One dll change may help as stated in a different post.

I will hopefully get to flash later (wife dependent)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] player911:
Phone has been functioning normally for me. I'm using the new radio along with it and it seems decent... I can't really tell much of a difference between this and the stock radio. I haven't used this rom with the stock radio... so I can't tell the differences.

I don't have any problems with my battery... although I have a custom battery icon (the green one with the percentage). I haven't had the need to reset the phone much since we got most of the bugs worked out.

Battery life seems to be back to normal after Da_G undid a few changes. It's been about 24 hours since its last partial charge (unplugged at 74%) and I'm down to 20... pretty good.

PocketGBA runs well. Haven't seen many errors. .NET3.5 is working properly.

I would recommend using the latest v6.2 Kitchen. We've also seen that this ROM doesn't play nice with other packages for some reason. If you want to use this rom, stick with its default packages when cooking.

The actual leaked rom/radio works extremely well. Honestly if we could get the hardware button hacks enabled on that rom it would be golden IMO. Manilla3D runs so fast that I've gone back to using it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] btprice2001:
I tried copying in the phcanoverbmp.dll from v5 and no difference with the battery icon issue. Did you have the issue and copied in a file and that fixed it?

Da_G, is there anything else I can try to fix it?

Hi, player. Can you post the file you're using for the custom icon or give a link to where you got it? Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
Try just removing the phcanoverbmp.dll, that will restore stock winmo icons.. fwiw i'm not having any problems with my battery indicator, but i'm also not using the htc dialer which is the package that has that dll..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] btprice2001:
Hi, Da_G. Do you know the registry entry for showing/hiding the aGPS panel under Start>Settings? Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
It'll be one of the numbers under HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCpl\ if i recall correctly. Hacking away at the 6.5 rom so can't check just yet :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] player911:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=424926

I use the dialer, but I'm effectively replacing the phcanoverbmp.dll with a custom one. So perhaps the file is whacky or missing some icons in the default HTC dialer which comes with the kitchen.

I don't know why it wouldn't display though. Even if the icon was missing, the placeholder would still be there for the battery; just not visible. If the placement of your icons has shifted as if the battery icon was removed entirely.... well I dunno. Try replacing the phcanoverbmp.dll and see if that helps. I use the cab version which I load during the UC process. I also load the sdkcerts.cab found on that page as well. Sdkcerts.cab might not be required in Da_G's roms... but I include it for laughs. So you may need 1 or both to get it to work.

Do that and report back. Also, like Da_G said, deleting the phcanoverbmp.dll will force the original one to be restored from the ROM. I don't know what results that will have over your dialer, but I don't have any problems with the one I use.

If phcanoverbmp.dll is the problem, could we simply remove it from the HTC Dialer package so it doesn't over write the original?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] btprice2001:
Right, there was still a spot for the icon, it was just not showing anything. This is the behavior I saw: After a soft reset the battery icon would not be there and there would not be a spot for it (all icons were shifted to the right). After opening a folder or program or opening the Task Manager quick menu, the battery icon would appear (other icons would shift to the left to make room). From that point on the battery icon would show 100% even though the panel under Settings>Power would reflect the actual battery level. Then when plugging into USB or charger, the battery icon would disappear but the space for it would stay there. The battery icon would not come back until after a soft reset.

I tried the phcanoverbmp.dll from the v5 kitchen and saw the same as above. I couldn't delete the file because it was a rom file and I did not try re-cooking without it. Thanks for confirming that you're using FInixNOver's file. I have not tried that because I've flashed back the leaked official HTC rom. I have no issues with the battery icon with this rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mhumphrey:
Battery icon

The battery icon never displays for me. A blank spaced appears and disappears because I can see the icons to the left of it moving farther left and then back, but no battery icon ever displays.

I saw the problem with ActiveSync running and running without syncing with Exchange. I stopped it, and then restarted it and eventually it completed.

Also, has anyone verified that CFC compressed TF3D is actually faster than the uncompressed version w/ this ROM? I tried monx version of the HTC ROM this is based on, and the TF3D seemed faster to me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] goofeyass:
Install sdkcerts.cab
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bilbobrian:
I am still having the same issue with the battery icon and not being able to change out the taskbar icons, I have tried changing the .dll with the one from v5, tried cooking in the old one, removing it completely and cooking, tried cooking the one from the fuze dialer, even cooked in sdkcerts,etc. After hours of trying it every different way I am still having no luck. I am pretty new to the cooking end of this but I guess I'll try dumping the rom and cooking in the .dll in windows if thats even possible. If any one has any ideas please let me know...Thanks :)

BTW the cfc TF3D is a lot faster and lighter than the uncompressed...Chainfire rocks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] btprice2001:
I forgot to mention regarding the battery icon issue, I also tried the .dll from the leaked official rom and still had the issues with v6.2, so I think it's something else, not just the .dll since I don't have any issues with the official rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] shlomki:
actually this cab has worked for me now, i guess i had an outdated version or something when i tried earlier.

i installed sdkcerts.cab, and straight after that i installed the newest FInixNOverBattery.cab.

SR'd, and after that the battery percentage icon is finally showing, as i wanted.

the icon still disappears sometimes, but a tap on the taskmanager brings it back up, so i don't really mind.

this rom is too awesome to pass on just because of this minor issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bilbobrian:
yeah, I'm getting the feeling its something else also, have you tried just cooking a totally stripped rom with no options installed?:confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] btprice2001:
No I didn't try that. Instead I cooked a rom based on the leaked official rom deleting some things and adding some of Da_G's packages. I haven't had any issues so I'll probably stick with this for the time being.

Regarding the new manila version, it definitely seems quicker. I've noticed the animations when switching tabs have been minimized or removed (eg the envelope opening animation when switching to the email tab). This probably speeds things up quite a bit.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bilbobrian:
@ shlomki, that worked...I don't know why but it worked, THANKS :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] yatrg:
Just to bring back the screen turn off during call thing again; The thing I find most annoying is that it shuts it off even if I take the call on the headset. It should be smart enough to know that if I am using a headset, it is going to be very difficult to push a button with my ear...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
@yatrg: general view for everyone I believe; seems like it's not going to be an 'easy' fix.

@Da_G: what tools do you use during your development (other than those in the Kitchen)? Looking to get some of these to do some exploring as well. I've been 'collecting' XDA threads as I go along but welcome any that you feel would be usefull. Thanks again for all your efforts ... very much appreciated!

My AV/Firewall suite, ESET Smart Security, is throwing a trojan warning when trying to download v6.1, and blocking the download from finishing.

I find this strange because ESET never hits on anything PPC related... not even CustomRUU.exe. :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
Hi guys, little busy today, grandma's birthday :) I'll be on the jorb later tonight!

Does it say what file is throwing the warning? I had one report of htcrt.exe, its a new version i dl directly from the author's site here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311909 and i've checked that it matches up bit for bit with the download.. i'm not showing any issues on my end though :\

Hilaireg: Beyond Compare 3 is the nicest one, it's hex compare tool helps a ton.. EmEditor is great for searching through every file at once for registry settings (because registry is scattered amongst .rgus) CeRegEditor is great for directly opening an .hv, helps with comparing protected roms.. WinCe Cab Manager for making those awesome cabs :) That's all I can think of off the top of my head :)

I've been using my 6.5 ROM, so hadn't had a chance to verify the battery icon issue, but I flashed this kitchen today because I need my phone to work for a while - I see the issue now, i'll issue a fix for it tonight.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
@Da_G: Thanks you, appreciate the knowledge share ... hope I can do the same soon. Assume u god Grandma a brand TouchPro /w Da_G's kitchen on it right :)

@NotATreoFan: my A/V's were giving me all kinds of 'fun' until I added exclusions to their rules. So now I exclude the CustomRUU as well as a 'kitchen' folder on my HDD. As long as I don't pull a bonehead move and download something other than 'kitchen' related stuff in the folder ... should be fine ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
In my case, it was CustomRUU.exe. Until today, my AV has never hit on this file. In order to download the kitchen, I had to disable my AV because as Firefox passed the RAR for scanning, ESET would block it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
wonky, well in the next version i'll just shuttle on over to the one that doesn't throw an av warning :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
Anyone having issues with blinking shortcut icons with the new 5.05 kitchen? It is happening on my current unreleased beta, but only with programs installed from CAB post flash, and the blinking stops if you make the files read only. :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
Something has a lock on your temp folder (you have a file in there open with a program) or something else is keeping it from deleting this folder (it has to be cleared before starting build process)

a reboot should take care of the issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] vibranze:
No, it shouldn't go for an hour, there must be something wrong. Did you see the word done on top or in the progress box?

Cheers,

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] The Jack of Clubs:
how do you change the rom date?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] vibranze:
For changing a ROM date I think you need to do XIP editing, but for ROM version, you can change it by editing file mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml file inside OEM\OEMVersion folder.

HTH.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] The Jack of Clubs:

ICR doesn't seem to be working with the latest kitchen.

EDIT: Noticed a fix (haven't tested) posted on #332. Will report with results.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] The Jack of Clubs:
does 6.21 have the newer oem drivers? or should i be copying them into the oem drivers folder?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chrisjaffe:
Sleep issue solved. (I think)

Ok so I finally had a chance to play with this and I think that I have had success. If you remove the HTC APM package from the OEM folder and flash the ROM it does not solve the problem. But if you then apply the NoSleep!!.cab file from this post...Success!

Edit: There is a side effect. APM also seems to control the smarttouch. Thanks NFSFAN.

EDIT 2: Ok so now I have it. If you set all of the registry values in the HTCAPM folder to 0 you get the same result and still can use SmartTouch. I'll try to make up a cab to do this and post it here shortly. Here is the key if you want to do it manually: HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAPM/Phone. There are a bunch of values, set them all to 0.

Edit 3: Cab posted. This file includes the registry entries from the NoSleep!!.cab by shinobi_uk so there is no need to run both.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

cj
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chrisjaffe:
No blinking icons here. Sorry:(

But I also run ESET NOD32 and I have gotten errors all of a sudden with the latest kitchens. I had to set an exclusion for the Da_G ROM kitchen folder. This is strange because I have never gotten a false positive with ESET before. I wonder if they have done something on their end.

You must make sure you see 'done' word in BuildOS and htcrt will appear after you close BuildOS.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tsc:
Is this 6.21 kitchen can makes UC capable 5.05 ROM?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
And if you don't see "Done", manually execute the Create ROM for Raphael.bat file in the Tools folder BEFORE closing BuildOS.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Trezona:
Yes i do see the word "done", i then close BuildOS, then the cleanup.bat windows finishes the the rom, my avg then pops up and says that htcrt.exe is a virus threat

EDIT: Ok i added htcrt into avg's exceptions list and all is ok now!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] vibranze:
@Trezone,

Glad you solved it, my AVG also prompted for htcrt.exe got virus.:)

Question

I have a quick question - hopefully someone can help me. Im a newb, and Ive never cooked my own ROM before. I extracted the file, and when I open the RaphaelKitchen.CMD, I click CF, and hit enter. Once I hit enter, it brings up two error messages.

The first says: The Software Requires Administrative Privileges to Run.

The second says: Some of the files encountered inside the project not found:

Da_G's ROM Kitchen\os-new.nb

Where do I find the file os-new.nb?

Thanks in advance for your help!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Are you using vista? If so turn of UAC.

I personally recommend using just the c and then flash when its done like you would any other rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
I am changing the following policies:

<characteristic type="HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="0000101a" datatype="integer" value="1"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="00001001" datatype="integer" value="1"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="00001005" datatype="integer" value="40"/>
</characteristic>

Right click the BuildOS executable, go to the second tab, check the box for Run this Program as Administrator. You will not receive a UAC Elevation Prompt when BuildOS tried to run.

Next, disable your AV. It is probably blocking HTC ROM Tool from executing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
<characteristic type="HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="00001005" datatype="integer" value="40"/>

Pretty Sure thats the one. Change it back to 24 and the problem is gone. However everything you have installed will have to be reinstalled for it to show up. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Enrique00:

That did it! Thanks for your help bro!

Enrique00
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
Yep. That fixed it. :D Strange thing is, I didn't see this issue in my last 2 ROMs, and that key was modified in them also. :confused:

While we're on the topic of registry keys, do you know which key(s) control the text size? The Raphael defaults to one notch right, and I would like to make it one size smaller from the start.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
this is it

HKLM > Control Panel > Stylus > 192 DPI

cur font =

large is 1100

Med Lrg is 1000

Med is 800

Med small is 700

Small is 600

You can use intervals of x50 as well (ex... 850)

These keys should change other fonts:

will change the size of the text in the Title Bar and Start Menu and Icons.navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gdi\sysfnt

and change the value for the "Ht"

To change the text size of the menu bar at the bottom of your screen, go to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\barfnt

and change the value for the "Ht"

To change the text size of the entries in the various pop-up menus in the bottom menu bar, go to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt

and change the value for the "Ht"

Does the HTC Dialer from the new Raphael WWE_5.05.405.1 ROM come with Slide To Answer/Reject?

Also, what is a good tool for package to cab conversion?

I'm also looking for a good utility for package to cab and cab to package.

For xbmox HD Manila, it won't work with standalone install. I think something is missing. It won't startup.

I have to flash the regular TF3D into the ROM and then install the HD Manila later after customization.

Correction

A few pages back in this post I posted a cab file to keep your phone from sleeping during a call.

I have just uploaded a new cab file. Last night I was having trouble making a cab file that did not have a file included. So I just threw a small image file in to get past it. I forgot to go back and fix that and so if you installed that file you will have this extra bmp in your windows folder. So unless you have a need for a small Florida Gator logo you should uninstall the old cab and install the new one.

I was able to create this new cab file with a trial version of WinCE cab manager. A nice program but I can't justify $99 for a hobby that I might use once every 6 months. I have Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 and I have tried Quickcab 2.0 from here. Both seem insistent on having a file included in the cab. Am i missing something? Or is there another alternative.

thanks

cj
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
For chefs, WinCE CAB Manager is an invaluable tool that has already paid for itself 10 times over in reducing the frustration of CAB creation.

If you want me to make a special CAB for you, just upload the files somewhere, and I'll spit a CAB back at you.
