[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Thanks, I m checking them out now. Looks like a good idea to me.

Sorry to anyone anxiously waiting on me for 21900_SP1 or 23001 ... I have been extremely busy this last few days and not had a lot of cooking time to spare (and what time I did spend on 23001 was not fruitful) :(

I will definitely get them both ready later this week. Try to bare with me [EDIT: lol, make that 23003 :D omg Chanvi is fast! ]

I the meantime I would still love to hear any other input or suggestions for the kitchen/roms ;)
[P3600 ROM Development] ssamth2003:
yeh..just about to tell you that Chanvis had very fast on 23003.......keep continue a great job The Decoy..cheer!!!
[P3600 ROM Development] ssamth2003:
The decoy,

Can you add your work (on the 1st post) to the Kitchen? thks in advance
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Yeah, already am actually. That is the 21900_SP1 I am referring to.

I have also reworked the TitaniumWeather EXT package to have all 6 of the weather Icon packs preloaded too.

Fingers crossed I will have time to upload it later today.
[P3600 ROM Development] bbdai:
Just wondering.

How stable are the kitchen ROMs? Do they have the HR issues of previous 6.1 ROMs?
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
They vary from version to version (especially since Chanvi was doing builds from all the different "branches" of 6.5 dev tree). Not sure what the "HR Issue" was ... memory management has been the biggest problem in the most recent few releases.

Anyway, as far as I can tell 21900 seems very stable and fast so far. I have just rebuilt an SP1 release of it (see first post) as I think it is a real keeper :)

Maybe some of the other users can provide better "comparison" testimonials ...
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
21900 Service Pack1 release

The SP1 release of 21900 is now ready (see first post).

It is pretty much just a rollup of all the fixes that I posted for 21900, but I wanted a clean 21900 kitchen/rom release that we could rely on as a STABLE version, that didn't need anything done to it prior to use.

As requested by desolateone, I have added an EXT package to my TIT2 variants which enables the Comm power management options (hopefully squeeze a bit more battery life out of it).

My EXT builds also have a new TitaniumWeather 4.2 package that comes with all 6 Icon packs pre-installed. However I will also post this package separately so that anyone who wants to add it to a Visual Kitchen build can do so.

Oh, and I also cooked an IE8 UltraLite ROM this time too (just in case anyone was missing that).

Sorry for all the delays but I have been very busy with work and other RL commitments (still am), so I am getting this stuff done whenever I get time.

Now that this 21900 SP1 is sorted out, I can move on to porting 23003 (which I am sure plenty of you are keen for). I hope it works out better than 23001 because my attempt at that release was a disaster (which I refused to upload here because I would just end up getting abuse from the people who tried it :p ).
[P3600 ROM Development] desolateone:
Good job the.decoy, love your efforts in keeping my old PDA like a new toy!
[P3600 ROM Development] bbdai:
Thanks for the reply the.decoy.

Well whenever I tried one of the 6.1 roms they would hard reset after a day or two when I did a soft reset.

I'll give your 21900 SP1 a go when I have time on the weekend, I'm still using Schaps 6.0, but I would like to know other users' experiences.

Thanks for keeping the p3600i up to date.
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Yeah I think I had that happen a few times on some of the 6.1 roms I used (before I started playing with the cv93+oggi roms) ... but I think Chanvi resolved a lot of that random p3600i corruption a few versions ago when he took the XIP (and nk.exe and other bits) from a new oem HTC p3600i rom and grafted them into the Kitchen.

Now the only problems we have appear to be entirely 6.5 related (usually memory management) ... but 21900 seems great so far :)
[P3600 ROM Development] robinbb:
This is very strange: Settings/Connections/Connection Setup is not there after flashing liteSP1. No auto-config for Vodafone Aussie. Task Manager shows connmgr.exe running OK.

EDIT. Installed again and now seems to be OK. Strange!
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Yeah I am guessing that for some random reason the Storage Card didn't respond fast enough, and ended up getting mounted to "Storage Card 2" ... which then breaks the path to Configuration_Network.cab in your SDConfig.txt (lol, in fact it probably breaks the path to SDConfig.txt in the first place :rolleyes: )

Had it happen to me once with one of the 218xx roms ... same story, another install and all was good.

Sorry I haven't got much done on the 2300x branch yet ... there seem to be constant developments on Da_G's thread so I am just watching closely (trying to avoid doing anything that will just get superseded within 48hrs). 21921 might be more worth investigating but again I am being cautious and scoping the feedback from the Raphael guys first. I'm afraid I just don't have the free time to punch out releases quite as fast as Chanvi, so I am trying to make sure the ones I do produce are useful.

My 21900 continues to work flawlessly so far ... I gave it the first cleanRAM run in over 3 days tonight (but only because it was idling at 14M free and I knew there was at least another 2M that could be released :D ).
[P3600 ROM Development] robinbb:
I like the thoughts - chill out and watch! I also have a Diamond and enjoy swapping between - but always with Mobile Shell to avoid any confusion. The Diamond is good when wearing a suit - but I always go back to the 3600 when I want a ring to wake the dead (Old Phone). I still have not been able to use MTTY to clean out the 3600 - I think that I am missing the correct Task for the OliPro version that I am using - most of the other commands are OK.
[P3600 ROM Development] tchoklat:
Hi, Really happy with this ROM. I was having the odd reboot issue with my 6.1 ROM. This is better, slower though more stable. I have three issues though. How do I change the apps that are listed under each of the 'headings, such as Applications, Personal, Programs etc. Clicking on add/remove in Favourites does not work! I could not get data autoconfigured with NeXtG I had to do it manually. I am using http://www.mediafire.com/?vhm2mleewl2 ROM.

[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
First disable "Windows Default" (Chome) on the Today Items list - you can't change anything while it is running. Then you can edit the existing app links by either:

- using CHome Editor (under "Utilities" in Start Menu) or

- write all of your changes to the CHome registry into a .provxml file (example) and then import that using the Advanced Config app (under "Tools" in Start Menu).

Yeah, that Favourites tab in CHome only works properly in the IE8 roms. I keep it active on CHome simply to give a launcher tab for IE6 (the favourites still work fine once inside IE). We opt for IE6 because most people prefer the leaner performance of it versus the slower IE8.

Same goes for the widgets (eg: MS Weather, Money, etc), they are IE8 dependant also.

Hmmm, I assume you have got the Configuration_Network.cab set to install in your SDConfig.txt (as per instructions above)?

If not you can still install that cab at any time later and run the auto-config then (or if it is already installed there will be a "Connection Setup" app under Start Menu -> Connections ).

Glad you like the rom. :)

Hi the Decoy.

can you get in to this :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4033581

I think it should helpful to our trinity speedy. Cheer!!!
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
No worries, I will check it out ... although I must say that I am going to tread cautiously with it as our "i" models tend to be very picky about filesystem drivers, etc. Also, the concept sounds very memory hungry to me and our phones are already desperate for RAM as it is. Not quite sure how reading files from SD Card would be faster than from internal flash ... I guess lowering the number of large files in the Windows dir will have some benefit ...

Have you tried adding it to any of our existing kitchens?

Anyway, I will check it out as soon as I get a chance. I have been busy building a new P3600I Kitchen that runs on the newer ervius visual 1.6 and does the final NBH assemble using HTCRT instead of NBHUtil (i.e. no more of those damn "Platformbuilder" crashes when cooking).

Making the P3600I mods to the kitchen didn't take too long but I have also been learning how to port Da_G's Fuze builds into it (which has been quite a steep learning curve :eek: )

I finally got it all working last night and I am beta testing the (crazy "fat" UI) 21928 build on my phone right now. :D

With all that sorted out, I plan to go back and convert Chanvi's last release (23003) and post it on this thread ... then I might make a new thread for the Da_G ported kitchens/roms I am making. Hopefully get a few things uploaded by the end of this weekend.
[P3600 ROM Development] ssamth2003:
Actually I'm not really get how to make it work, read and read and read..but still fail :(

Sound interest of your work, waiting to test it :) thks in advance

23003 kitchen and roms are built.:D files uploading now.

I will edit post with links as soon as they are online (few hrs).

thanks for your patience :o
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Kitchen and roms are ready.

Enjoy! :D
[P3600 ROM Development] robinbb:
Oh the pleasure! SP1 was nice and stable. The 23003 was clean and easy + MTTY ran OK (a first time ever for me thanks to the new proceedure).

(Lite + adding SPB Mobile Shell, TomTom, OziExplorer)

Thanks SO much!
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Cool, glad you like it :)

Yeah, I still think 21900 is a bit leaner than this build (memory usage) ... but this one has some of the new flashy UI changes that are coming in on the 23xxx releases (whilst still being reasonably stable).

Sigh ... :(

Unfortunately I have just found a mistake I made in the CLinks ("Applications") plugin on Titanium. The Google Maps link is on "Page3" but I somehow forgot to use \\ slashes in the "PICTURES" regkey for the icon (so it fails to create due to syntax) and so that link isn't showing up.

Can be fixed very easily though:

[IN KITCHEN] (eg: for 6IETIT)

EDIT EXT\P3600i\6IETit\P3600i_External_Packages\yyyy-CHome-xCustomize\0409\app.reg

[IN THE RUNNING ROM]

Disable CHome ("Windows Default" in Today Items)

Open RegEdit

Add the PICTURES value to both of these 2 regkey locations:

Other than that, the only other issue is that I forgot to add HTC Album and Audio Manager to 6IETIT and 6IEQMTIT, so that is why there are broken links for those two apps in the CLinks launcher. Just install them manually if you use the rom, or copy these EXT package folders (from 6IEMANTIT) if you are cooking them in the kitchen:

PACKAGE_Iolite_AudioManager

PACKAGE_Jade_HTCGesture

PACKAGE_Jade_Album

Sorry about these clumsy mistakes ... it was very late last night when I finished putting the kitchen together :o
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
... and now it has been :D

NEW DOWNLOAD LINKS in first post

CHome files have been fixed, Album & Audio have been added to Titanium builds and while I was at it I took the chance to put the full WM6.5 ringtones collection back into the SYS. (lol, they are all just more variations on that same wm jingle ... but at least there's a few more to choose from :p)

New copy of kitchen and roms is online. Links updated.

Apologies to the dozen or so people who already downloaded them from the previous uploads.

23009

Hello,

Chanvi is very fast as he launch 23009 already. i try to combine the version to 23003 with not succeeded :(

Also, pls help me the decoy to add this today plugin as default http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=511483 i'm like it very much but after follow instruction there i still fail. don't know why? anyway, i'm keep trying and searching to get it work.

thks in advance.
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
lol, yeah I know ... he uploaded 21921, 23008 & 23009 today. Sorry I should have had 23003 ready for you weeks ago but was distracted with kitchen modifications. Anyway I am doing 21921 right now and hope to have all three up very shortly. I won't have had a chance to test them or anything so will have to rely on you guys to find bugs :p

I will have a quick look at the Analog Clock too ... what happened when you tried to add it?

PS: I keep meaning to ask ... doesn't your CHT9110 run on Trinity roms instead of p3600i? Or do you just harvest my changes from the kitchen and then apply them to the original Trinity kitchen?
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
It works ok from the cab install ... except that width/height settings for the Weather icon are not quite right in the config it adds to Titanium CPR files. Easy fix, just take correct width/height from "CurrentIcon" image in the TitaniumWeather config in same CPR file :)

Are you trying to build it into the kitchen and set as default clock?

I can see 2 problem with that:

EXT package will not add config to Titanium_XXXxXXX.cpr files

The CHome plugins list and order will be overridden by CHome_Customise EXT package

... on top of that, the more obvious issue will be that the Kitchen converter is putting the package files/folders under a subfolder called "0.7b". Just take that subfolder, rename and use as ext package folder to put in kitchen.

Here (EDIT: attachments moved to first post) is a zipped EXT package of CAnalogClock and a pair of CPR files to replace those in "yyyy-CHome-xCustomize\0409\files\". With just these you will cook rom with normal clock as default but CAnalogClock installed and you can change it to default in the CAnalogClock Options app under "Utilities".

If you really want CAnalogClock as default from cooked rom, you will need to edit (in kitchen) the CHome plugins order regkeys in yyyy-CHome-xCustomize\0409\app.reg and replace "CCLock" with "CAnalogClock" (and also move it to front of the order).

eg:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome]
"Plugins"="[COLOR="Blue"]CAnalogClock[/COLOR];CMyPhotos;CMusic;CWelcomeCenter;CPhone;CVoicemail;TitaniumWeather;ATFavePeople;CHome;CText;CEmail;CAppointments;CLinks;Settings;CHomeFavs;CWindowsLive"
"ExtensibilityXML"="<Plugins Order=\"[COLOR="Blue"]CAnalogClock[/COLOR];CMyPhotos;CMusic;CWelcomeCenter;CPhone;CVoicemail;TitaniumWeather;ATFavePeople;CHome;CText;CEmail;CAppointments;CLinks;Settings;CHomeFavs;CWindowsLive\" CPRFileName=\"Titanium\" DisplayStyle=\"Titanium\" />"
"DefaultXML"="<Plugins Order=\"[COLOR="Blue"]CAnalogClock[/COLOR];CMyPhotos;CMusic;CWelcomeCenter;CPhone;CVoicemail;TitaniumWeather;ATFavePeople;CHome;CText;CEmail;CAppointments;CLinks;Settings;CHomeFavs;CWindowsLive\" CPRFileName=\"Titanium\" DisplayStyle=\"Titanium\" />"

Now that I am aware of this plugin I will include the ext package and make the necessary changes to all my Titanium CPR files in the kitchens.

However, I will leave the normal clock as default so that turning on CAnalogClock is at the discretion of the users :)
[P3600 ROM Development] ssamth2003:
The problem on CAnalog it was not stable, freeze, sometime the clock getting big and small (pop up) ?? dont know why try to edit mscr but still not really get it work.

For My CHT9110 , Yeh. I'm using same HTC P3600i but i bough from Taiwan (model name there is CHT9110) actually i'm happy to try both 3600 rom (with 401 header change) and 3600i rom.
[P3600 ROM Development] ssamth2003:
Thks for your work out, i will try today.
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Oh, not sure I can help much with that. I must say that it seems very memory hungry and a bit buggy for me too :(

Ok, so you do need roms with the 0x401 boot (i.e. p3600i) ... I was just confused because the XDA device db says 9110 is same spec as Trinity/p3600 (0x400 boot devices).

Actually you should hold off for another hour ... I am rewriting those CPR files again right now. The QVGA layout is just rubbish and so I am fixing it. It will still be buggy and a memory hog, but at least everything will fit on the screen :D

I want to finish off this CAnalogClock thing so I can get back to those new kitchen ports ... and check out this new QGVA Manilla for WM6.5 :cool:
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Done. See first post.

I have even come up with a 320x240 layout that looks reasonable.

However, I am inclined to include the package in the kitchen but set it as disabled in .erv rom configs (because it is so buggy and slow). I think the combo of it and Weather is just too much bloat on the system. :rolleyes:

Depends on how much you prefer that flashy clock page to the default one I guess :)
[P3600 ROM Development] ssamth2003:
no no, CHT9110 = HTC P3600i while CHT9100 = HTC P3600 / D810
[P3600 ROM Development] ssamth2003:
2nd Screen freezed.

Hi the decoy,

Try to flash with 6IETIT success but after reboot on the 2nd screen i got white screen freezed. I think some thing need to correct in the kitchen.

(The same when i Try to combine 23009 to your kitchen)
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
So you are getting through the whole first boot then? stylus alignment? setting date? running autorun? then freeze on next boot?

How are you trying to "combine" 23009 to the kitchen? what folders? from what other kitchen?

I will have newer kitchens up soon anyway but it sounds like you have recurring issue ...
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Have finally caught up to Chanvi again ... not much sleep last night but the are 4 new kitchens uploaded (see first post). :D

Haven't had enough time to cook roms of them all, but I have at least cooked some from 21921 as this has the cool new Inertial Scrolling feature to play with.

If anyone needs specific 5.3.0 branch (230xx) roms cooked, just post a request and I will cook them on demand.

23016 has a few new EXT packages for various customisations/fixes by Chanvi ... you will have to investigate yourself as I have not had a chance to :o

I have added one of my own to all of these kitchens which turns on the Taskbar Battery indicator via .provxml (regkeys), because it was getting annoying not knowing if it would be there or not in the latest builds.

Cheers! :)
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Instructions and required files for 21928-23016 hybrid added to first post.

Dearest The.Decoy

I am using 6IEMANTIT SP 1 @ 21900 -still

Though I had had downloaded the subsequent versions still I KIVed the flashing, now it seemed that you had flooded with all those latest versions from Chanvi.

By the way thanking so much for an efforts done.

My question is......now which one is the best among all those good roms?

Propose one...good one for me.

Thanking you in advance

Regards
[P3600 ROM Development] tchoklat:
Just a question.

I have one of your wm6.5 ROMs (WWE_21900_SP1_6IEMANTIT2_P3600I) and the battery drain is really bad. Battery flat in under 24 hrs with minimal use. Which ROM has better battery life associated with it?

Just an addit! What is the difference between a ROM and a Kitchen. I assume you make a ROM in the kitchen Duh! Though the.decoy's signature says he runs a kitchen as a ROM :

HTC P3600i

ROM: CV93+Oggi 23016 Kitchen (21928 Hybrid: MD1 StartMenu enhancements)

Radio-Rom: 1.56.70.11

SPL: Hard-SPL Olipro 3.2

tchoklat
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Hi guys, sorry to leave you hanging like that ... I go completely offline most weekends and yesterday I was way too busy with work to check XDA :o

You're welcome :)

Unfortunately I have been so busy making kitchens that I have not really had much chance to test/compare any of these builds.

lol, I have personally been running that 23016/21928 hybrid since Friday and it was only yesterday that I finally realised the IE6 in it was completely broken :eek:

So I'm afraid that, right this minute, the only one I would personally consider "stable" is indeed 21900.

That said, I have only had a single lockup from 23016 (today - it just never came back from "screen off" mode when I went to use it at lunch) and it has been many builds since I last had a hard reset or corruption ... so really we are just talking about UI bugs and memory management now.

When it comes to memory, not one of the builds I have tried lately runs as lean as 21900. The whole 23xxx (COM3) branch seems to be more memory hungry in general and all of the recent 21xxx builds are so full of wacky new UI changes that it is hard to compare them :rolleyes:

Sorry I know this doesn't really answer your question ... just brain-dumping whatever info I have gathered on these builds.

Hmmm, I suppose 21900 did rip through the battery a bit quickly ... although I must say that I long ago gave up on expecting more than a full day out of my p3600i battery :(

However I have found that having any kind of constant internet (ie: push Exchange syncing, or email on 5min check, etc) use will nail the battery in crazy short time (seriously I even tried one of those chunky HD batteries with bulging case backing and everything - it only buys you an extra 1-2hrs).

Better ROMs? I don't really have any proper metrics to base it on but I am pretty sure the 23xxx builds seem better optimised for battery consumption ... they just chew up more memory instead :p

oh, sorry for the confusion ... I kinda took my cue from Chanvi's sig there.

Indeed my phone is running on a ROM. I just specify that Kitchen in my sig to indicate that it is a ROM I cooked myself from that kitchen (as opposed any particular ROM that can be downloaded as is).

Most of the time I am using exactly the same NBH as one of the ones that I have uploaded but it is always possible that I have enabled/disabled certain apps in the kitchen to test something ...

I guess I should maybe preface it with "ROM: Custom cooked with ..." :cool:
[P3600 ROM Development] tchoklat:
Thanks for that, it helps. One final query. I am having issues with syncing. What settings on the phone are required to allow the update to run properly as I am unable to detect the phone with activesync? Attempting to activate WMStorage I get the error, "Can't switch to mass storage USB driver, error 1F".

tony
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Which ROM is that you are having this problem with?

I am still on 23016 and can confirm the WMStorage error (although I have no idea when this started because I never used it before today).

However ActiveSync is working perfectly well for me :confused:
[P3600 ROM Development] tchoklat:
I am using the version you list in your sig - the latest hybrid. My IE also does not launch!?!

Tony
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
Yeah I am looking into the IE thing ... just real busy with work is all. :(

I am hoping to do something about it later today as I want to get it working for myself too.

Also, can you help me with some bug tracking? I need to know when did WMStorage last work for you (what build)?
[P3600 ROM Development] the.decoy:
OK, I think I know what the problem was with WMStorage.

IIRC the 1F error is basically a filesystem locking issue (open files, etc) ... so I took a guess that it might be the CachePIE5_Messaging_SD.cab causing this.

Disabled installing that cab in my SDConfig.txt and the ROM I just installed has a working WMStorage now.

:D ... speaking of which ... if you are feeling really brave you are welcome to try out the 23022 test ROM I cooked (complete port from Da_G SYS/XIP sources, cooked in a new ervius 1.8.1 kitchen).

This thing has a crazy 219xx influenced UI and I have not killed IE8 or anything. My first compile was a dud and needed several modules converted to files ... seems ok now though ... TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK ;)

Anyway, scary warnings aside .. here is a the link:

WWE_23022_P3600I_decoy-test

PS: Watch out for the "Zoom" function on the touch screen ... it's a bit hypersensitive, lol
[P3600 ROM Development] tchoklat:
OK, the problem is the installation of the .cab. Now that it is installed how do I uninstall it to get WMStorage working again? Without it working I cannot sync to flash a new Rom!

TONY
