[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Buddy Count:

@arohrmann: I will make an icon for fring. For the shortcut: Just make a backup of it after installing. (I copy shortcuts of programms I install after a hard reset to a backup folder on my storage card e.g.:"\_StartMenu_Backup\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Spiele\ScummVM 1.lnk") So after a hard-reset, I only have to go to the folder and copy the windows folder to the root of my device and with two clicks in total commander all shortcuts are there with the correct icon, cause they are already in the kitchen and so in the cooked rom and its registry (except fring yet). Without a soft reset they appear.

For the cabs I didnt mean to include them, I ment there is a programm for installing multiple cabs unattended from sd card, this is a cool thing for your own apps. (Just search this forum) I will also include a tutorial on how to make your own packages for the kitchen in one of the next releases. Then you can add every cab you want as a package.

For the Windows standard icons I will also write a package, that moves them to the right folder. But if you dont want one of them, just disable them by doubleclicking the programm (set to false, ignore message) in the kitchen when building a rom. (eg.g Widgets, Marketplace, etc.) This will not exclude the icon and the whole programm, so that you save some space. I will always include the whole windows mobile standard apps in my kitchen, so that everbody can decide for himself, which app to miss. The provided ROM will also include all applications, cauz its just for demonstrating what you get with the kitchen. (Though one can just use the ROM).

Same thing for themes: This is really a personal choice, Ill only include the standard themes and will make one black/ green WM65 theme which fits to the standard htc colors. Just for a sleek, simple, stylish blackstone :) If anyone wants his own theme, just install one of the cabs, that can be found around here in the forum.

THX for the headphone link, will take a look at it.

@Rumbi: THX for helpin out and testing! Feedback:

-For the first boot issue: Im working on that: Workaround: Flash via SD Card and be patient on first boot, wait some minutes (2-3) after the dialog appears to calibrate your screen (Tap here to...). Then customization will also work and you wont stuck on first boot. It seems to be an OEM issue with some certificates. I already found some files, that could fix that from the original Rhodium ROM. I will report on that later.

"Heute" works for me, maybe same issue as above. (You mean WM65 or manila program launcher?) Kontakte should be that way, so that the user can access both views easily via shortcut. I will probably add a package, so that you can decide via doubleclick, if you want WM65 or manila contacts when cooking :D

For the mms thing, that has to be started in background, sometimes the window pops into the foreground, so that you see controls and title of the message app, instead of the running app, just tap in the middle of the screen to get the running app back into foreground. I will check, if I can modify the startup link with another parameter, maybe that will fix this issue.

Im working on manila TV, got it working with english channel list, but no german yet. I need some further testing, will report these days...

Homebutton works for me in the contacts detail page...

I can pack the o2 Homezone cab of your post into a kitchen package, will be released with the next version, im just testing 23016...

For the package description: I know :) and I already worked on that, but I mistakenly overwrote the packages.txt files in the kitchen folder with ones from an older build and had no backup, so the changes of the description was gone. I thought ervius kitchen saved them in another file and didnt care about them when overwriting... Now I learned it the hard way :D Descriptions will be updated in the next release.

The task manager seems to be nice, I will have a look at it.

@schranzistor: My BT Stereo Headset works fine, just tested calls with this release. I got a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980, call answering works. Be sure to include all BT packages, when building your own rom and in the bluetooth settings of your device grant remote SIM access in the options tab.

@Andy: Voume control with SRS works in this release, I tested it this day for several times. SRS WOW was enabled all the time, no errors...
