The best 6.1 Kitchen ever. need further help!!!

Thank you very much for this wonderful Kitchen hilaireg. I’ve finally attained a fully customized, extremely fast & stable device right on boot. Now i dont intend to upgrade to WM 6.5 or even 7 for another year.

No complaint what so ever except battery drain (Max 13-15 Hrs with minimum talking usage), even tough I’ve enabled all power saving options from Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 (Gem of a tool). i use Radio 1.12.25.19 with it's appropriate ril file.

Is there a way to find out what's hogging my power or some kind of benchmark analyzer to identify the culprit. Never the less i have bought another battery for just in case scenario.

Now the absolutely useless things that annoy me are:-

1- The volume icon on the title bar

2- Soft Menu bar (Bottom bar)

these 2 things i consider as "Slumdogs" eating into my device's valuable screen space with no value addition what so ever. I’m using HTC volume control & AEButtons for soft menu which makes both the above redundant. I've XDAed, googled, yahooed, removed volume------ from kitchen ----- folder, used vjtoggletodayII etc and the only thing I haven’t done to remove them is screaming from top of Mount Everest, yet no relief.

Also I’m using PHMtools(another gem), specially the SIP module for clipboard & character map. this program is written for non VGA device & hence don’t display properly in my Raphael (see pic). The .dll responsible for this function is PHMPTSIP.dll (enclosed), which I don’t know how to convert to VGA format. even the forced VGA don’t do the job

Now I have a bounty of $50 donation for any Brave hearts like you, who can find me a solution to my above issues.

Someone please take up this challenge & oblige me soon. Thanks again!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
I'm using Radio 1.14.25.35 (and corresponding RIL); during heavy use Talk, Data, Apps - I get ~48hrs. If I leave the device on Standby, extremely low Talk, Data, Apps - I get about ~120hrs. Two possibilities: some of the config tweaks are causing adverse effects, the radio you are using may not be the best one to use for your Carrier/Region.

Most of the packages I included in the Application Packs shouldn't have a direct impact on battery. That said, it's always possible. Best thing would be to see the list of packages you have installed and any "optimization" tweaks that you have made.

I do know that some applications configure themselves to occupy the entire screen while they are running (ex: YouTube, Opera), but I'm not certain if the menu bar can actually be completely eliminated without running a different Shell (ex: Mobile Shell, etc.)

Suppressing icons from the Top (status) bar is possible ... have a look in the Wiki under Windows Mobile, might be something there.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com

As per above ... BTW, it's possible that AEButtons may be one of the battery drain causes - seem to recall reading some posts about that.

I may be possible to make minor adjustment to the .DLL in question. From my experience however, it's typically a tedious process with no guarrantee of success.

05/10/2009: Visual Kitchen Tools Update

Thanks for this, i was getting download errors trying to get Ervius his latest update.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
I've been entertaining the idea of updating the kitchen(s) to 21055. Unfortunately, I've have burned close to a week's worth of time and have had

ZERO

success in preparing a XIP.BIN and OS.NB.PAYLOAD for the Legacy kitchen.

As of this note, I'm faced with the following options:

A complete XIP.BIN which can be used with XIPPORTEREX & XIPPORT magically appears.

Release a SYS 21055/XIP 21054/OEM 20779 kitchen combination.

Decomission (move to Wiki) the Legacy kitchen and only provide a Visual Kitchen SYS 21055/XIP 21055/OEM 20779.

Do nothing.

Any comments/thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Noonski:
As i said before, i find myself having problems communicating (in terms of having OEM packages for legacy style).

So personally i'd say stick with the visual kitchen.

If the time's not there then save some time with dropping the Legacy version.

Reminder

@all:

Here's a few tools that I use when building a new kitchen:

- emEditor (Edit & File Search)

- Hex Editor

- BeyondCompare (www.scootersoftware.com)

I've included "budget" version of some of these tools (along with many others) in the kitchen:

- Notepad2 & xp_persisthandler.vbs

- XVI32

I assume that all chefs downloading the kitchens in this thread take an hour or so to get acquainted with all of its components such as the TOOLS folder. At the very least, it's

really important

to go through the ReadMe, ChangeLog, and PackingList as I put a significant amount of time capturing any change that I make in those files.

Additionally, I try to make a point of adding a comment (XDADevelopers) for any change that I make to .PROVXML, .RGU/.REG, APP.DAT/INITIFLASHFILES.TXT.

For DEVICE profiles, I know it's a pain but ... chefs should thoroughly examine the contents of the DEVICE_CUSTOMIZED profile as it should serve as your baseline for your own personal version of DEVICE_CUSTOMIZED. The files originally started from the HTC 5.05.405.1 stock ROM files and i've commented changes as I went along. The other DEVICE profiles serve as a container of sorts for the ROM stock files - they are meant for reference more than use.

Lastly, cooking is an art, the culinary experience is entirely in your hands. I've attempted to provide a recipe book assuming that you, the aspiring chefs, will change it to your liking.

@all:

Since the new Manila 2.1/2.5 ports are out, keep the following in mind. The G-Sensor 4 SDK package contains a Blacklist entry to prevent Manila and Phone Canvas rotation.

You may need to remove both of these entries and place them in the Whitelist for rotation to function. These changes may be done via the included the .RGU/.REG and/or .PROVXML (overrides .RGU/.REG).

I couldn't make Notification_Enhancement_2_0_1914_1131 works in this kitchen

I dunno why :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Hi HA4ever,

How do you know it's not working? Can you provide some details as to what behavior you were expecting to see?

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HA4ever:
I cooked a rom with the package "Notification_Enhancement_2_0_1914_1131 " after flashing my TouchPro when I click on the top bar the Notification window doesn't show up

Note: I cooked my rom only packages from the kitchen it self
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
To make sure that I follow what you are saying ...

You create a ROM using the TouchPRO .ERV profile that is found in the .\tools\RomSaved folder.

When you tap in the top icon area (3G, SignalBar, Battery, etc.), the System Status is not displayed?

Or, if it is displayed, tapping on an icon (ex: Signal Strength) does not display the Notifications?

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HA4ever:
this is exactly the case
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Noonski:
I did once have the new Status Messages not working because it was conflicting with the old Enlargetitleable service.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
@HA4ever:

It worked without issues during testing; and it's currently working on my device.

Download the .ERV profile found at this link; that's the profile I am using on my device.

You will need to download and apply the application packs 1 - 4 before you can use the profile.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Is there a newer version than the one I included in the kitchen/application packs?

Cheers,
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Noonski:
I'm still using the same version you are.

But I have seen mention of a newer version in the XML Gui thread, and some talk of the Meag QVGA version.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HA4ever:
I've tried all the above steps but still not working :(

also I tried to use the newer package "HTC Notification Enhancement 3.0.1917.1225" but still can't make it works

by the way, the .ERV in the link above is not compatible with the last Visual Kitchen. it asks about some files from build "21051"
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
@HA4ever:

That's very odd.

I'm attaching a .ZIP file that contains the ERV files from the 21055 kitchen as well as my personal FUZE ERV profile. Please follow this procedure in a new (clean) folder - ex: C:\XDA\My_Visual_Kitchen:

Download Visual Kitchen 6.1.21055

Download & Apply Pack 1

Download & Apply Pack 2

Download & Apply Pack 3

Download & Apply Pack 4

Download ERV_Test_Profile_21055.zip

Compile a ROM using one of the ERV profiles found in the .\TOOLS\RomSaved folder -

do not

change selections.

Backup the build log.

Test the ROM on your device.

Compile a ROM using 5.12.206.1_FUZE_21055_TEST.erv included in the .ZIP -

do not

change selections.

Backup the build log.

Test the ROM on your device.

If you are still experiencing the same problem, post separate .ZIP files that contain the logs for each of the ROM compilation/test.

Hi,

I have to restore my Touch Pro to original state so i can send it to warranty. Before i flashed my first rom, i dumped raw files from my phone. So i got Part00.raw, Part01.raw, Part02.raw and Part03.raw files.

My factory state was:

ROM Version: 1.90.414.4 WWE

ROM Date: 08/26/08

Radio version: 1.02.25.19

Protocol version: 52.33.25.17U

I tried to find from Visual Kitchen anything what points to RAW files but only what i found was in TOOLS folder raws2nbh.bat.

What are the steps that i have to do so i can cook my original raw files to rom and flash it to my phone. I know how to get rid of Hard-SPL but it's last step.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Hi TheOner,

Pulled this out of a Warranty thread that I found in the Raphael ROM Development forum; this may be an easier approach:

I suspect you will need to use a Legacy Kitchen (PkgToolsBuildOS-5.3) to achieve the results you are after. Here is a link to the Raphael Wiki where you can download the legacy WinMO 6.1 kitchen or the necessary official ROM's if you decide to try Captain's approach:

hey guys, i've got a real noobish question:confused:

i've tried to figure it out by myself, but i don't get it fixed:

i've extracted the latest htc rom, deleted some packages, added some packages, created rom, flashed it...till now no problems BUT:

on first boot the "automatic customization" appears and tries to install things, that i've thrown out of the rom => error massage => reset => rom without anything

i tried to find something about that in google, in this forum and in this thread...but found nothing...i'm sorry if this problem has already been reported and solved, but this thread is much to huge to read it page by page..

thanks for your help

lauchi
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Hi lauchi,

You shouldn't have that problem with this kitchen as it is posted.

Assuming you built a "net new" kitchen after extracting an official HTC ROM, I suspect you may not have removed some of the post-customization entries. Have a look at the following folders (packages):

ConfigAP

OperatorPkg

OperatorPkg_PT

They typically contain .TXT and .PROVXML configuration files that initiate post-customization actions.

In this kitchen, the files in these folders have been modified such that very little actions occur. You can find the original versions of the files in packages that begin with DEVICE_. The DEVICE_CUSTOMIZED_ package (as per my notes) is the package you should use to tailor some of the ROM settings.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but since I'm using this kitchen I had to ask here..

How can I exchange the HTC Black.tsk with a custom one?

And how can I install custom Taskbar icons?

Sorry if this is the wrong place too post this..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
The HTC Black.tsk file is in the OperatorPkg; make sure to search in the *.txt, *.dat, *.ini, *.rgu, and *.*xml files for instances of HTC Black.tsk as well as you will likely need to change any references to HTC Black.tsk.

There should be an taskbar package in:

.\EXT\SHARED\System - Final Configuration\

Some icons are also handled inside resources, which means that you may need to look at some of the packages in:

.\EXT\Raphael\COMMON\System - Configuration Profile (Single Selection Only)\

.\EXT\Raphael\COMMON\System - Enhancement\

In order to keep the kitchen size below 200MB, I had to move some packages into the Application Packs (1-4) ... you may need to download those packs to obtain all of the enhancements you are looking for.

I caught the welcome head after I posted... and lol went right over the logomsg even opened up the .bmp and never thought anything of it, since the font was almost white I thought it was just a blank .bmp and never thought twice!! LOL

Thanks!

anyway to change the version number, get rid of the WWE under version name?

and also. I edited the icon for volume control on the today screen top task bar. but for some reason when I cook in volume control it overides that. I do not see a icon in the package for the volume control cause I was just gonna edit that one too, so I am curious as to how to fix this... by the way another cup of joe on the way!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
WWE stands for WorldWideEnglish, i think the only way to change that is to change the language of the ROM, which you probably don't want to do :)

Version number is here:

\OEM\OEMVersion\mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml

HTC VolumeControl contains internal icon resources in HTCVolumeControl.dll - one for "normal speaker", one for "muted speaker" and one for "vibrating phone"

You'd have to use a resource editor to either remove these icons (might not work with them removed) or put your changed icons in the .dll (much more likely to work)

Thanks, I love you! In a very manly way! (haha just kiddin' :P)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] skyfox99:
Ah, definitely don't want to change the language!! I saw that post in this forum about changing the name and I am sorry, I am retarded and so addicted to the cooking thing that I have so many different things floating around my head (dll, lnk, cab, proxml, WTF is a dsm, etc.) that I mistyped what I was looking for. I am looking to change the DATE, not the version number...

what resource editor is easy and would you recommend? Never even cracked open a .dll yet, been able to get away with using others so far.

just kiddin' about the loving me? Or the loving me in a manly way? HAHA either way, I was skeptical when you went the ROM kitchen route and was dissapointed and even thought about going about different ROMs... then I tried to cook my own and I must say I hate it... I am so addicted that all I do is think if what I can do to customize this phone to my liking... I don't know if I should thank you... or wish you dead for making it easier to customize our roms!! LOL thanks and no prob!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
LOL! It is addicting, isn't it..

Don't forget, if you make any awesome packages, don't be afraid to share them.. i'm sure there are plenty of other people who would try them too :)

http://www.heaventools.net/ <-- these guys make 2 commercial programs with trials to work with PE files (.dll/.exe), they work great.. the pe explorer does alot more functions on top of just replacing resources. worth a try for sure.

Then there's the free side of things:

http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

If you'd like more options, there are more out there :) Try googling for "Resource Editor".. there's at least one more I know of that's free too :)

To change the date I believe you'd need to hex edit nk.exe, it contains the date.. it might be in another place though, i've actually never tried.. but I know it does appear in there (the 10/20/08 date)

Where in the ROM would the setting for this be? I wonder if it has something to do with the fact we are using so much from the blackstone? Does the blackstone have the same LED indicator? Or is it different, could that be something to it there?

I agree with the format. I would also put any know issues in there, and tested on/confirmed on so we know what VGA device the author used it for (or would that be considered donor device?).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
Probably related to AllLEDMgr.dll or HTCNavi.dll, in \OEM\OEMDrivers. Both of which are native from the Stock Fuze ROM (didn't replace them with bstone drivers)

Known issues is a good idea
