Best practice with new phones is to fully charge first.

Best to set up device before Hard SPL
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
okay so when i get my device

1.charge it all the way

2.set up the device.

3.turn it off

4.put it in bootloader mode

5.connect to computer

6.run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe

then i am done with hardspl?

and what does .NET framework do?

and why do i need to have that installed on my computer?
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
oh one more question added to the top..

after i install HSPL.

how do i flash a rom?

like if i download a rom

do i just put my phone in bootloader mode

and connect it to the computer.

then find the rom i want to flash

and double click on the rom?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Once you have install HSPL and have downloaded rom you want put phone into bootloader mode and connect usb cable. The mode changes from Serial to USB

Double click on RUU_BlackStone_...........exe file and follow instructions
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
okay, so once i install HSPL

then connect the phone in bootloader mode to the computer

find my rom file

double click

follow the instructions

let it install.

then im done?

what do i do once it is completed installing?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Once its finished your phone will automatically soft reset. You will be prompted to setup stylus & input date/time etc. Connections settings etc should setup automatically.

Then have fun with your new rom!!
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
my phone will soft reset when it is connected to the computer?

when do i unplug it?

like when i install HSPL and when i install the rom?

with HSPL i can install any program right?

like s2u2 and other apps?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Once rom has completely installed phone will automatically reset. You can take out usb anytime you want after that

You can install any apps you like which are compatible like s2u2.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
okay so i can unplug the usb once it is resetting?

okay thank you so much!

what apps do you recomend?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Opened a whole can of worms there mate. Better going to Themes, Applications and Software forum and searching. Also check out wiki and section on:

Programs/Utilities working on the Touch HD (1 - M)

Programs/Utilities working on the Touch HD (N - Z)

Games working on the Touch HD (A - Z)

Games that have been tested to work in Full screen Mode on a HD

Useful Software for your Blackstone
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
alright thanks!

oh what is Dutty's HD V2.3 XTREME WWE

i keep seeing that people use that?

what is significant about it?

how is it different than the regular roms?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
I'll let you read up on that one. Can't spoon feed ya everything.

All I'll say is that Duttys is just a very common rom which is used a lot. Similarly Laurentius26 roms. Both use newer versions of manila and Rhodium.

Read up on them and especially read the wiki. Link provided below on signature
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
haha alright

thank you so much! :)

i hope my installation of HSPL and my roms go well this sunday :)
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Any problems on sunday someone on this community should lend you a hand. I'm generally not on at weekends, just during the week at work
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
alright hopefully someone will be on to help me

oh one quick question.

if i am installing HSPL

or a rom.

and my computer freezes.. ( just in case )

what do i do?
[Touch HD General] EpiphanyNL:
Keep your cool :) it will be ok
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
so if it freezes.. when im installing HSPL

i wont brick my phone?

do i like take out the battery of the phone when the computer freezes or what do i do? haha

sorry
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
You really are one for asking questions aren't ya!

Everything will be ok. If your pc freezes try not to worry.

Don't touch the battery of your phone. The whole process usually lasts a couple of mins so chances of pc freezing is minimal. Possibly close other programs on pc first.

If pc freezes and won't unfreeze you may need to restart pc. You will then need to restart process and get phone back into bootloader mode.

But don't worry, it'll be fine!!:D
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
yeah sorry im asking so many questions

im just scared to brick my phone..well i dont even have it yet

but im getting it sunday

and its 700 some USD so i dont wanna throw that money down the drain.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP :D
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Understand completely, but the chances of bricking your phone or so miniscul and if you follow proper procedure you'll be fine.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
*Sigh

that is a relief!

thanks again so much!
[Touch HD General] Railgun76:
UNLESS...

hehe psicological terror :D

Sorry I couldn't resist !

Don't worry also I had the same fears and now, after 3 weeks I already flashed 5 ROM's !
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
okay.. so i have downloaded a few apps.

HD Tweak

Omniano

Xtract

and it is in a .rar file

how am i supposed to install in on my touch HD?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
.rar files are files which have been zipped up

You can extract them with software called winrar which you install on your pc

I've attached HDTweak for ya unzipped and .cab version

Just put this on your phone and click on it
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
the one you sent me is the on have already

it says .cab

but.. it is in a winrar archive?

is that okay?

because when i open it up

there are many files.

so all i have to do is

connect my phone to the computer

copy whatever app i have to the phone .. ( the .cab file which is in an winrar archive? )
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
When you open a .cab file on your pc you will be shown all the files inside it. When you double lick on the .cab file on your HD it will not open like on your pc, but will instead install the app.

Easiest way to explain this would be to think of an .cab on your HD the same as a .exe file on your pc
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
oh! no wonder...

i see

if i would like to uninstall any of those files on my device

how would i do that?
[Touch HD General] amuthanr:
you can go to starts->settings->remove programs and then select the program u want to uninstall..

Good luck!

Cheers!

Amuthan
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
oh okay thanks!

then what does sk tools do?

i read that you use that to uninstall programs?
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
Hey! another question.

i read that you need .NET CF 3.5

for Gyrator 2

is .NET CF 3.5 the same as

1) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

if not.

how do i install .NET CF 3.5 on my device?

and do i also need to have .NET framwork installed on my device in order to run HSPL or do i only need to have it installed on my computer?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
You can also find .net framework v3.5 here
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
so is .net cf 3.5 the same as .net framework?

and how do i install .net cf on my device

i already downloaded .net framework and installed it on my PC. but do i also need to install that on my device?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
You'll need .net framework on your device. Just download the cab file and put it on your device via usb cable and double click on it
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
what about .NET CF 3.5?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Sorry should have explained myself better when I said .net framework I meant .net framework v3.5:rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
oh haha i got confused there for a bit.

so i need to have .NET FRAMEWORK on my PC

and i need .NET CF 3.5 on my DEVICE?

i went to that link you game me

and i downloaded "NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab"

so i put that on my device

unplug my device

and install it?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
You don't need to unplug your device to install cab files.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
oh when i install the cab files, do i install from the device or the computer
[Touch HD General] KukurikU:
keep yr questions and this thread going and you'll be soon be able to cook ROMs:p this must be the only reason keeping this thread in in ROM development forum.

i think our moderators quit or just gave up on us. i am trying to keep an eye on the new ROMs and i keep stumbling on this......

make it a sticky!:p
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Your really one for looking spoon fed aren't ya.

Your last piece of advice is to read the wiki and especially your own thread as I answered same question earlier!!
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
oh oh sorry about that
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
OH! sorry about that :p

i just dont want to mess up when i get my touch hd
[Touch HD General] DaveShaw:
Not related the development of ROM's.

Thread moved.

[Touch HD General] KukurikU:

[Touch HD General] kevin6192:

Please spend time reading....

This has turned into a personal support thread and contributes nothing to the forum overall.

I am closing this thread.

OP, instead of asking everyone else to do your reaearch for you please spend the time to read up on what you want to do the answers are there, just spread across forums/threads.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinstar:
Hi all,

for starters, I know where the search-button is and I know how to read, I've read the stickies and most of the links, so no obvious remarks please :D

I'm having a hard time finding good threads to read about creating/editing/cooking roms, understanding what XIP/SYS files are, knowing how to strip/add programs,...

I've used keywords like: rom cooking, xip, how to, port, tut(orial), etc...

It only gives a gazillion answers and most of the time useless threads...

Once in a while it's worth reading, but most of the time it's junk or way to specific/difficult...

So the question is, could anyone link some usefull good threads/discussions/how-to's that they've read?

Maybe you could give it a rating yourself going from beginner/intermediate/pro...

Maybe such a condensed topic is already on the forums, then please do show me, since I didn't found it yet...

If you're first thought is "god, not again", then please, don't respond at all :)

Thanks for your time!

Really nice cooking class for Blackstone, but very usable for Kovsky too!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=480714
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinstar:
Jack,it's not because of my low post count, that I'm just around here...

I've seen and read that post several times, I've dumped my own rom and downloaded others, I extracted them and started fiddling around, but that's all what I did, fiddling, since I don't really know what I'm doing...

For instance, I'm reading and seeing XIP everywhere, but I don't even understand what it stands for, I can't find (or don't use the right keywords) to find any decent info on it...

I found this great post of Ameet about porting XIP, but that's already about hardcore coding without the basic info I hoped to find... I'm just a beginner, that'll be stuff to read when I'm several months further...

It all starts with the saying, "give a man a fish and he can eat for a whole day. Learn him how to fish and he can eat a life-time.."

The post you refered to is great to learn how the kitchen works, great for learning how to use tools, but the action eventually only shows how to remove standard OEM stuff out of a rom. Nothing more...

Understanding the ins and outs of a rom, how it's build and why, how it's linked and what it does... That's where I think it starts, but that's what I can't find... If no-one ever wrote anything about it, then I will, but then I'll have to try and find bits of pieces of info everywhere... And that's why I posted the question. So people could at least point to some information they know where to find...

I've even seen and tried your work... It's great, but it's a full working, locked rom (at least, it doesn't break down using htainlin's info to the same files and folders as a stockrom does, or I'm using the wrong tools)... I can't see what you've done to make it that way... I can't open it to compare with something stock to see what has changed and conclude what your changes really do... I don't mind reverse engineering, I do have a brain I can use to figure things out.. :)

Well, sorry for the rant, and if I somehow offended you, I didn't intend to, I just hope you now understand what I'm trying to accomplish :D

Thanks for all who even tried to read this ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinstar:
@Lokatho

Thanks! I've only read the index, but I already know I'll be busy reading that for a couple of hours... :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackleung:
Well, I never judge xda member on their post count since I know some experts in this field maybe new to XDA-developers and some people w/ very high post count are keep on posting **** (e.g. someone in X1 general inventing 4D glasses and UI. :) )

Most kitchen (at least the one I pointed to) is just a Dos batch script to automated all the tedious command and parameters w/ all the needed tools. You can learn a lot of in and out if just you open it w/ a editor, follow the steps manually and research those tools individually.

If you really want to learning cooking in the hard way, I had a writeup long time back for Asus P525 which most of the steps still apply to any HTC rom nowaday.

All the documents for how to fish is here and we are still seeing people creating new threads for questions that been address millions time. This is a developers forum afterall and no one is responsible to feed you while your hands are free.

Regarding my rom, I never intend to lock it. Both V1 and V2 are extractable but rgu are removed due to space and speed considerateion. Afterall, the main purpose of a rom is for daily "use" instead of "teaching material". Why am I bother to slow my rom down just because I have to let others to extract it?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinstar:
Jack,

This part was for the locking section you refer to :)

I already figured out a number of reasons why it would be "locked", and space-limiting was one of them... I definately understand your reasons and by no means am I complaining about it... It's just a pity I can't use such good material as a reference to study...

As for examining the tools, I was already wondering what they're all doing and what they're needed for... However I'm a bit cautious since I don't know how they work... This'll be a matter of trial-and-error...

I will definately have a look at what you've written, not that I'm keen on really wanting to learn it the hard way, but it might make it easier to understand the working of some of the tools... :)

About the fishing, you are right, no-one is obligated to give me anything. I was merely asking if some-one might remember a post they once read and found very usefull in understanding or learning the process of cooking...

As I already stated, I used the search-button and already found bits of information that I thought were a little usefull, but I'm having a hard time finding any good posts... The topic Lokatho refered to was a great link and gave me some good information and I've got some nice material to work and practice with... It would've taken me ages to find me or just dumb luck...

I'm keeping together all the links I used to read and learn and might paste them in a write-up once I think I've learned a fair bit :)

To finalise this reply, I understand your frustration, there will always be people who ask the most simple things on any forum, may it be ppc, car, house or anything related... Questions in here like, how do I have to flash your rom, what is hard-spl, why can't you make a 'insert langueage'-rom, reporting a "bug" that's been declared not a bug for several pages already... Those are the most annoying questions I've seen until now(just to name a few) and are really an indication those are posted by lazy people...

Cheers

I search and found a version french of schaps but version 6.0 rom 4.31

It works ok but slow.

and I so found a version french "goldenglobe" version 10 but bluetooth is not working ! I Think version from windows mobile 6.0 ? (to check-it).

It exist a french version 6.1 or 6.5 for hermes (tytn) ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chiekh:
There is no other french rom 6.1 or above. only The TAI_Sw. and we are waiting for updates. so be patient.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Evilscientist:
For me, answer to this question depends on a couple of things.

1. How much do you need your phone to work without question?

2. Are you willing to give up some stability to be on the bleeding edge?

If the answer to #2 is YES!!!! Then 6.5 for sure....works pretty well...but appears to be some software compatibility issues that need to be resolved, IMHO. OS is still beta with no official release as of yet, so I figure no matter how well it is cooked (and Josh and TAI are doing GREAT work - props guys!) there is still going to be a few bugs to deal with, courtesy M$.

For me, the answer to #1 is my phone must be reliable, so after testing 6.5 over the weekend, I'm back to 6.1 for a while (courtesy CRC 13.3 - FYI).
