i worked this problem out. my theory is the kitchen didnt like these files as they have two diferent file formats in the name .xml.bak. now in the home 2 ext these files become the .xml's that control the applets and what contacts and programs are in the favorites tabs so i replaced the files with the .xml's edited the app.dat file in the ext and hey presto a fully working aplication :)

Nice one man! you are good in this things!

New build for Hermes

The port Process of the xip isnt important anymore with this kitchen cause it dont need to realloc the modules in sys and MSXIPKernel... just copy the OEMXIPKernel from old build the one in my full kitchen and use the MSXIPkernel for whatever device you get the XIP AND SYS... I already change the .ROM with the hermes... so...

Here you go!!!

HERMES (Build .23004.5.3.0)

Enjoy! :D

Note: the XIP is not ported to old style kitchen is just for build with this kitchen EVK.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
Sweet dude. ill give this a crack. theres a few little things i dont like about 23001. just that it doesnt show the battery icon even when the clock feature is turned off and the x button is a bit fiddley. hope this ones a bit more finger friendly in that respect. either way nice work man :) btw nice to see this thread a sticky now. just shows how much this thread was needed
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Still havent gotten the 21003 kitchen to work at all :(

I have tried many combinations of xp and this and that with no luck.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Yes a stickie!

yup it becomes a stickie thanks to mods!

yes the 23001 dont switch betwen clock or battery even if you use the advanced config! so sad but... you could touch on the batt icon on task bar and it shows the batt setting in 23004 you cant! cause the image for the higlight takes part of the clock or batt icon so it dont shows nothing and is like tapping the X... is something like this:

_____________________________________

|___________________________Vol|Batt_X|

and in 23001

_____________________________________

|___________________________Vol_Batt|X|

so.. chose what you want! i will try to edit that image to reduce it... maybe it can make the trick!

@FCW send me your kitchen i can take a look on it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohctis:
Hi there! I'm currently using my own cooked ROM 23001 build, (thanks to all of you guys)

My only problem is that I'm cant increase the total RAM (I only have 39.96MB).

And after a whole day of use of this build, my RAM drop to less than 10MB. BTW all apps have been stripped off on this build and same problem encountered on 23004.

Can anyone point me on the right direction to increase my RAM max capacity? on where can I modify it? I already tried modifying the pagepool size using the Ervius kitchen's tool but no avail. Have also tried using pagepool changer tools on build 23001 and 23004 but the application cant read the .nbh file because it is encrypted.

I'm totally lost in here...

BTW.. It's my first time doing this cooking thing and I'm still a noob..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Yes it is a problem with the bat file

I will edit the bat file taka look in some few momments i will ad the PP change to make it works...

The less value in the PP you must to use with 6.5 is "6" on four nothing runs well and with more than 8 it becomes faster but low momery.

so use 6 or 8

Sorry but.... wich Kitchen are you using, first page? full mine? or any update?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohctis:
I'm using New ervius visual bepe's kitchen version 1.6.

I already tried editing the batch file for the PP but I still having the same RAM. I even tried 16MB. :)

It seems the existing PP tools can't modify the new 23xxx build. I'm able to do this on the older builds.

If only we know the address..and changing it manually using hex editor app but I can't find the thread discussing this. :)

I even tabulate the RAMs on different Builds I have created. :)

The most stable is 20270 for 6.1 and 21728 for 6.5.

B 20270 PP 6 RAM 49.xxMB

B 21222 PP 6 RAM 49.xxMB

B 21728 PP 6 RAM 49.35MB

B 21728 PP 2 RAM 53.36MB

B 23001 PP 6 RAM 39.96MB

B 23004 PP 6 RAM 39.88MB
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Its done!

see the post #4 PP changer!!! and... the PP changer in default ervius "Other" button set the pp you want... it must works now if you do what Utaker say.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohctis:
It works!!!

So thats the trick! You're the man! :)

Thanks!!! Great man!

2 problems remaining. :)

1. Splashscreen bottom part has been cut off on the radio/os ver text part.

2. Removing the User/Owner text on the bottom part of Settings->System->About page.

Will try to figure out this one or find threads for this.

But if your kindly enough to help me AGAIN.. much highly appreciated. :)

Thanks again for supporting us newbies! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
of course!

well the sign on splash screen is mine you can change it by yourself... hex edit the S000 file in the nk.exe set search by unicode and search for my name, change it with yours... or... use the xipporterexe in ervius kitchen click on get date and version on xip and you cange it... BTW it only accept 8 chars...

The By josh XDA product i cant remember where i upload it later! enjoy cooking!

im a noob too. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohctis:
Sorry for the confusion, is my english that bad? :D I mean like the one in the screenshot I attached. The bottom part of the image has been cut off.

Yeah.. I really enjoy it. Thanks. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
What!???

I never seen this before!

Is this my kitchen full? did you change the splash screen?

is maybe the image... or i dont know why is that withe square there on the splash screen :eek: :eek: :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohctis:
Yup! I'm using the kitchen you posted on the 1st page. I've created 2 splashscreens, 1 for the main splash and 2nd for the subsplash and both looks like that. I embedded the 2 .nb file by adding it in the kitchen batch file.

Its like the ROM/Radio/etc ver text is overlapping the image part.

Weird huh?! :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Mmmm I recomend you to...

Use the romdonalds tutorial and his nbhtool maybe is the embbed proces for the kitchen that insert that white square.. thats the way i insert my splash screens in the OS-new.nb.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
if i remember correctly to change the by josh xda product you need to hex edit the shellres.dll.0409.mui in medkid col in the oem\common folder. i found the search button didnt work so you need to search it manualy and it takes a while
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohctis:
Thanks FCW!

Found it! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nohctis:
Thanks for the hint.

The solution is to merge my customized splash screen and the padding.nb into one.

Missed that one. sorry. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RAMChYLD:
Well, I took the plunge and went straight from Josh's automated kitchen to ervius' kitchen and tried cooking and it apparently works this time around.

A few questions tho:

- I get errors about CHomeWeatherConfig and CHomeCalendarUpdate cannot be opened. Rightly so, those appeared as blank spaces with blocks on the home screen.

- I cannot open the start menu. Touch screen response is also a little sluggish.

I did remove some stuff from Josh's EXT packages while cooking, because I didn't need them and wanted space for other stuff.

Did I cook something the wrong way?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
how did you add plugins?

I add plugins via first customization inserting the cabs into OEMOPPERATORS folders and changing the config.txt, almost all the plugins use mortscript so maybe you need to instal first the weather then the others via cab on function rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
ive got the same problem with my rom that i made, i put my own splash screens in and this happened. i havent been able to find a way to sort it. im using josh's kitchen not this one but i havent had it happen when flashing other peoples roms with splash screens in such as crc's or the stripped at&t one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
OK nice one... the padding missed! as you can see nohctis found why his splash screens shows that white square... so i recommend you to follow the ROMdonalds kitchen tutorial to change the splash screen... it does the trick scotyy93

Glad to hear it.!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
what do you need to edit this? ill upoad my kitchen and pm you the link soon but wouldnt mind trying this myself if i have the ability. also wondering if it would be possible to be set like this

___________________________________

|_________________________vol|batt|x|

or is it a choice of one or the other
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Nononoi mean that the image for the X button is enlarge so maybe thats the problem the 23004 build or some others that the batt cant be pusshed... but i can remember that i saw a fix for it, but i dont remember where.

if I found it i will post it.

as your pic it must be like that but in some it works fine

like 23001.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
Ah i get you. So what image do you resize and to what size?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
mmmmm

maybe at middle size of large

if the image is heigth 10 and width 20

it could be 10x10 square to just let the image above the X

like this

_______________________

the image is "black_taskbarHighlight.png" in Base_dpi_96 folder.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
ok ill try that after ive worked out how to add this applet in my home 2 ext. just need to edit the app.dat file to include the applets folder i think. well im going to find out anyway :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Hahahaha thats nice! lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
yeah im working on adding a clock and better weather applet and setting them instead of the default applets. eventually i want to completely replace them all ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
WOOO it worked lmao, i never saw anything about this padding thing which explains why it didnt work ill just remeber to do that next time, Thanks Que :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
hahaha

Greetings scotty93!!!!

That kitchen has so much tricks to learn :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
looks like the weather app will have to be delayed for now :( The problem with home2 applets is the developers all like to use the the same names for theyre images and they all get stored in the windows folder when cooked in. to get it to work with the other app ive added ill have to edit the code to make it look for different file names or work out how to place them somewhere else by editing the app.dat. considering i had to make the ext packages up from scratch as home 2 apps dont come as cabs i aint complaining too much :D i also now have a much greater understanding of how home 2 works so now i can go crazy with it. Now the fun begins ;)

EDIT: Worked out what id done wrong id just got the directories wrong while making the app.dat. its easily fixed
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Why you dont try to...

Why you dont try to make a cab with all your files (the files that the kitchen dislikes)

That cab can be modded on where does it could be installed or copied it may be a nice trick! and that cabs can be added in first customization ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] homam_france:
nice work my friend.

really it is so good.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
thanks a lot mate!!!

yes i've been workin so much these days in two weeks three roms and the learning... hahaha

Glad to see you here... visiting! :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richardyiu:
Hi Que PPC,

Thanks for writing this tutorial. I am trying to cook a Traditional Chinese rom using your kitchen. I have downloaded the Chinese MUI from herehttp://www.modaco.com/content/i900-general-omnia-rom-discussi.com/contenton/288531/windows-mobile-6-5-kitchen/ and put them into the kitchen. Do you know what other things that I need to do in order to create a Chinese rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
chineese?

omnia? i see that on modaco you get those mui files... exactly exactly i dunno! :p

Sorry dude...

mmmm maybe on the 6.5 kitchen from Da_g are the entire packages for chinese check it out on the raphael forums... BTW do you have the omnia or a hermes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Very well done Q... U're too good to us :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
i do my best dude!

BTW josh...?

do you know where can i get the .bat info for other devices.... I mean the first paragraph info on it... the hermes info Da_G suggest me... but i have many questions about some other devices :confused:

Its raining doubts! :confused: help! jajahahahjahaha lol :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
What i would do is download the kitchen for the device you want to use .bat for and use same commands, just put in your kitchen. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
mmmmm

i set just the mergilo name as -hermes

cause it is by default ervius device -Kaiser

but what about the chunk... what da heck is that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
not sure how to make a cab yet. maybe ill have a look into it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
i would use same syntax as in existing kitchens.. look and see if has syntax you can replace with in working kitchens .bat. that is how i made my hermes kitchen work for kaiser..

I would change the -kaiser to -hermes if you are working in hermes device yes

I downloaded working kaiser kitchen.

Looked in .bat file for commands.. and changed my hermes.bat file to match same commands as working kaiser kitchen.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
well it makes sense

well i thing the nbmerge wil set the other thing we dont know :p

Thanks a lot dude!

Make a cab is easy welll not so if it has so much reg entries... just get the cab manager app form ocp software it has a wizard step by step it helps so much when you dont know how to make a cab... :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
New build is on town!!!

new build .21925 is almost done but i need you to test it.

So the builds 21921 and 21925 are aready in Post #5!!!!!​

BTW Cofeelb has been aproved the final test... he is another graduated by this Tutorial... Congrats dude! Happy cooking! :D

Coffelb has fixed the 21925 please some tests needed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
cab manager wont install. it says i need msxml 4.0 and thats not compatible with vista. :mad: i hate this damm os. its gotta be the worst thing ever released for pc. shame as the apps i want to make cabs for dont have reg edits. its just making it get placed in the right file. got a few this would have helped for as well
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Yeah it sucks

hopes windows 7 has less security and more compatibility...

try the cabmanager in the rom donalds kitchen i think its an exe not installer ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] I[E:
msxml 4.0 and cab manager both work great in Windows 7 (32bit at least)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
at least thing might get put right with windows 7. I think microsoft realised quite quickly vista was a bad idea. roll on windows 7!!! been considering getting the beta as it has to be better than putting up with this
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] I[E:
i've been running the RC since they made it publicly available with no issues
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
ran the beta and the rc but things kept going wrong possibly due to the fact that not everything is completely compatible with it yet, i went back to vista ultimate since i havent had any problems with it but i havent used this kitchen so
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jwzg:
Back on topic, boys and girls.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
what do you mean?

you mean not to post other topic in this thread?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jwzg:
That's affirmative.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
hahaha

OK!

I have the SYS and XIP for hermes 23007 but i cant make it boots....

somebody has it?

Im uploading it now maybe someone can get it to works for this kitchen

New aproved! FCW congrats dude you figured out how to set point ui! nice to heard it!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
cheers dude. just wondering do you know what .bat i would need to edit to allow my next 6.5 stock like rom to be dumped? thanks to jwzg i know in older kitchens you need to edit the create_rom.bat and delete these lines

delete boot.hv

delete default.hv

allpackagestoone.exe

but this new kitchen doesnt have that .bat or appear to have those lines anywhere

Ps. i had the same problem with 21234 as your having with 23007. it seemed to be problem with the SYS but other people got it working without a problem maybe other people will have more luck with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
well it seems that the dump process is easy

its easy to dump an nbh now you just need to run the ervius UI and the select dump in the bottom left button place you nbh file and... you are good to go!

Yes the problem was.. in the sys so i get another build from other device... and i hope it works now... BTW it seems that just me gets the builds...? come on guys support! hahaha

just kiddin... have a nice coocking.

Tell us how does the dump process went. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
well i did as you said. i have a dump folder and an xip folder. the xip isnt complete. something about it being protceted. its that protection i need to remove for it to be useful for other people to use my rom as a base for theyre own. also do you know how i then get the sys from the dump folder? i assume this would normaly get done after the xip was done but untill i can get rid of that protection i might as well see what else i can do with it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
yep

many roms are protected so... you need to disable that to get a full dumped rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
the question is how with these new roms . i know its to do with the xip
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
i can tell you..... i dont know

but you can visit the tutorials that ameet do... are amazing! or the Hilaireg to use this kitchen in winmo 6.1 is large an well xplained.

of course you ust to delete the correspondent dpi lang and resh V folders too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] I[E:
i thought i got all of it, i'll have to go back through and check again after work. using your bare bones one now with no ram issues so i know it's not my hardware
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
noup

i dont think its hardware issue... try now with all of that and set PP to 4!!!! :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
that list should help, i still had alot of those still in my rom so it should free up a bit more space :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
YEAH!!

Could you make me a big favor dude!????

If you plan to cook try to remove the FWUPDATE folder and tell us if your rom boots... if dont boots tell us anyways jajaja

Remember to fully charge your batt cause whe you has a nonBootable rom the batt cant charge.... :(

Lets see wich of those folders can be deleted

FWUPDATE or AUTOUPDATE
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
ye well im gonna change the xip version aswell but i dont have this autoupdate file in my kitchen so it might be the other one that cant be removed
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I have still yet to get a ROM to boot from this kitchen. Even using the full kitchen you already have setup.

Would anyone thats using this kitchen with the new nk by da g can you upload it so I can download it? If I can at least get a working one to start from then maybe I might get lucky and be able to change some stuff and go from there..

tia..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
i did look at using this kitchen but i couldnt be botherd to learn how to use this one directly after id only just managed to sort out cooking with josh's kitchen. so all i can say is i hope you get it working, Good Luck :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
It is FWUPDATE that cant be removed. I experimented alot with 21198 ad what could be removed in the SYS. Just remember as well WINCENLS can be remove but only in some roms and is quite included in the OEM folder in most kitchens. you only need the one though.

Also has anyone managed to get 21921 21925 or 23008 to boot? cant seem to get any of them to work so just wondering if anyones worked out what the issue could be. I have managed to get 23007 from Tai to booting although there is no start menu grid scene files for causing there to be no start menu. no biggie tho as i change mine to the 4 row .cpr anyways
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Scotty93:
thanks for that fcw saves me from flashing it and it not booting.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
no worries. always happy help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Ok Mr dsl

I will upload tonight a new full kitchen build maybe it works now for you...

YUP well! seems that 21921 works fine for me 25 too but 007 not i cant make it boot... 23008 works fine for me wit this kitchen.
