it makes sense. just a case of getting used to it i suppose. Also just notice on your release for this you say you need to select the theme. if i remember correctly you can set it to run by adding it in the oem operators folder and editing the config.txt. ive never done it myself but ive seen it done on other peoples roms. also did you make the theme yourself? I like it. im also thinking on seeing if i can get the white box for the numbers in the dialer transparent. i think it would look nicer although it might get a bit fiddly if the colors are wrong for being able to see the numbers. Its somthing ive been considering for a while now but just never gotten round to
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
yes i knew i tried but it seems that I dont have the right line in config txt to make it works... do you have that task?

BTW yeah i did it but a friend compile it for me...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
not positive myself but i assume it would be the line:

EXEC: \windows\xxxxxx.tsk
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
+QuePPC,

Yes, I do. That was how I got Mirion to compile. The duplicate apps are not in your Kitchen, they are a result of copying one kitchen on top of another.

I am sorry I was not more clear about this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
mmm well... is nice to heard it now... that wasnt my fault so... the links will back soon. :)

Please xplain better next time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
just wondering what tool is used for the themes. I use themegen ce and replace the classicblue_stwater but the image is always low quality compared to alot ive found
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
I redownload my kitchen and tried the 23037... and im stuck at that white screen... any ideas i didnt include htc animation... but what about the welcomehead.. is not there or is hidden? so any ideas dudes...????

Never Mind i got the error!!!! dont use or delete the EXT package for SRSWOW it make your rom stay in white screen

BTW i use the exec line you gave me FCW but the customization stucks on it... soft reset needed my luck is to leave it at the end so... the soft reset not means much after a couple mins... at least 10 :( it boots again.. maybe i leave it at the user...! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
this is the same problem i had with 23034. i just took the sys and rom out of it and added it to my kitchen for 23028. then took a couple of packages from the your ext and the medkid col from your oem. If you want ill upload my kitchen for you to have a look at. im downloading 23037 to try now. it should boot with the fixed ext folder
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
It seems that i edit mine before you to end your reply, read again please. ;) everything works like a charm and...... i have my first rom at Spanish!!! gigigi lets get internationailize my roms to Spain!!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
ah lol :) well the exec line was worth a try. Ill have a look round and try find out what it is. only other thing i can think of is to treat it like a .cab. after all thats all a tsk file is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Yes... it works at the end... it works... with the exec but it tooks a while.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
+QuePPC,

I will do better next time. I reread my first message about how I built a Mirion ROM and it is easy to see how I confused you.

Sorry about that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
No problem dude... :D

Keep it up!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
I know this is probably posted somewhere else but thought it might be useful there as well.

as you all will know there is a bug with the image sizes of the x ok and flag icons in the bottom taskbar. I have downloaded fixed x and ok images which have just been resized from 32x32 to 16x16. I assume this would also be the fix for the flag icon but i havent done this yet as my custom xp version doesnt even have ms paint but for those who want to try the files are classicblue_bubble_flag_disabled.png and classicblue_bubble_flag.png in sys\(build)\dpi_96\base dpi
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Yeah! thanks to let us know... BTW the new 23041 was banned from XDA devs so maybe i will not post neither a rom... it has so many fixes... sorry guys.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
Do you have a link to this ban? I did a search of XDA and could not find the discussion about it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
mmm go to dev and hacking section on new release wm6.5 builds first post by da_g banned... we think is the same fake as the beginig of 6.5:eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
no surprises ;)

It's for people using svn versioning system, which causes creating special subfolders in every folder. Ervius was asked to make it ignoring those folders :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
Will 23409, which is com4, work on a Hermes?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
yes, it works pretty well :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Here you go: the screens from my own Hermes running 23409, if you're so curious ;)

​
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
Looks great, is it as stable for you as everyone is saying it is?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
well, I'm using it for 2 hours only ;)

You see, I prefer ROMs without this whole Titanium and honeycomb stuff, so... but it looks pretty well. I doesn't have those bugs which were present in most of recent builds :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richardyiu:
if i want to upgrade my kitchen to 23409, then do i need to port the OEMXipKernel myself or can i use the OEMXipKernel there is in the existing kitchen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
You HAVE TO copy your existing OEMXIPKernel!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richardyiu:
thanks...

more questions,

q1: i am making a chinese rom using the kitchen. I used the chinese initflashfiles.dat from da_g's thread. In the initflashfiles.dat it specifies a chinese name for the start menu, but all the apps in the EXT folder of the kitchen (e.g. skyfire,htc calculator) are placing the shortcuts into the english version of start menu. Is there a way to point those shortcuts back to the chinese version of the start menu?

q2: I am adding mui files in the OEM folder for powerexe.exe,ClearStorage.exe,etc...but as soon as i add those mui files in the OEM folder, it will create errors in NBHUtil. Do you know how to solve it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Nicce one Utak3r!!! looks amazing here is my video for 23041 totally ESN!!! :eek: Yes I can translate it!!!! :p

Well dude if you want to make tej kitchen multilang its correct that you must to replace al the lang folders in sys... then

Copy and paste again the Base_lang_0409 that is in your 0409 folder inside the oem and paste it to a new folder for your lang... then

Rename the XXXX for your lang on that folder... inside of it... you will have some more muis and many of them are for camera and mms if you get the baselang directly from a stock dumped rom... suggestion dump a stock rom and get them for your lang and replace them for your lang muis. then overwrite the initflashfiles from the da_gs thread...

Then change the entries of mui lang to your lang not 409 (erase the 0 as 0409) at the end... the rom can boots but is true your start menu is diferent it dont has all the ext apps... and some other in stratup cant be launched...

The way i did it...!!!!

make a backup of that ext packages... then Retranslate all the ext packages app.dat to the folders that must be in your lang as said in the init flash files.... and.... now you could get all your ext apps inside too!!!!!

hahaha its so much work to do if you have so much ext packages you know...

Keep it up guys!!!!

Oh i forgot to mention that if you have any other mui file or html or whatever that has the lang numbers.... i recommend you to make a ext packages that allows you to install them into the windows directory.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
OK,

It seems that I am missing some step.

I extracted the XDA.rar kitchen to C:\XDA

I removed the files from XDA\EXT\HERMES\COMMON (To prevent duplicate files on the next step.)

I extracted QUEXDA23034 (miron B1).rar into the same XDA folder.

I downloaded "WM65-23409-CE-OS-5-2-4457-LANG-0409-DPI-ALL-RESH-ALL-RESV-ALL.rar"

I recreated the directory structure using the directories and files from 23008 as a template using only 96DPI and 240x320 files, as needed.

For XDA\SYS\23409\SHARED\COMMON I used the files from "WM65-23409-CE-OS-5-2-4457-LANG-0409-DPI-192-RESH-480-RESV-640.rar" (This means that I probably have the wrong .ROM and .VM files.)

I moved .VM to XDA\OEM\HERMES\.VM just like +QuePPC says to do in his tutorial, at the start of this thread.

I edited "XDA\TOOLS\RomSaved\Mirion_B1 by +QuePPC.erv" and replaced 23034 with 23409.

I opened the Ervius kitchen and loaded the "Mirion_B1 by +QuePPC.erv" file

I ran "Create ROM."

I flashed AT&T striped to the Hermes. (Booted normal, all the way, twice.)

I then flashed this 23409 Mirion to the Hermes.

I get the first screen, then the backlight gets brighter, then the image fades to white... then nothing...

I am trying to learn, but I have tried several things since and they ALL end at the same white screen.

What did I miss / what do I need / what do I need to fix?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Maybe that issues i told you on the quote are the answer try to be sure on that points if you are not so sure you always can add me to your Yahoo or gmail or MSN messenger to get a personal cooking class...

Keep it up... if you like you can upload your entire kitchen and i can see whats wrong in it.

:cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
I understand. When I extract XDA I delete files from XDA\EXT\HERMES\COMMON. Then I extract your kitchen into XDA. The result is that I have only your files in XDA\EXT\HERMES\COMMON and no duplicate files - this includes the "MUST TO ADD" folder.

I have replaced the the .VM with the one you have in your Mirion Kitchen

I open "Mirion_B1 by +QuePPC.erv" in Notepad. Then I replace:

XIPBUILD#23034

SYSBUILD#23034

EXTBUILD#23034

with:

XIPBUILD#23409

SYSBUILD#23409

EXTBUILD#23409

I save the file and load it in the Kitchen. This way I get your selections to include in the ROM but with 23409 instead of 23034.

I am closer now. After replacing the .VM with yours I get as far as your Welcomehead.96.png. But it seems that it still does not boot all the way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
thats weird...

You dont need to select again mirion cause i just left in the ext packages and most things just the ones that i use for my mirion so if you dont mind i can take a look of it... but i need to go to sleep now jejeje maybe tomorrow.

BTW did you change the ROM hermes and shared too? i think your problem is due to that selection of the mirion... you must to make your selections is not hard...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
Goodnight then. I will let you know if I discover anything further.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
+QuePPC

And I am making ROMs again!!!!!! =)

I now have a working Mirion 23409, and I am very happy to be able to get an early look at this.

(I had to disable WOW SRS.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
what you have used to record it? MyMobiler?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richardyiu:
Hi +Que PPC

I take your advice and use a chinese stock rom's oem and copy the .VM folder from your oem and copy it to \OEM\HERMES.

Ervius kitchen builds the rom successfully but when i flash the rom to my hermes, it won't go pass the first screen (i.e. i only see the green Mirion screen). Do you have any ideas on what may go wrong?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
mmmm disable the EXT package for WOW HD or delete it it causes rom not boots! :D sorry for that i already put a warning on the link at first post. If you see the usb to pc pop up in ext folders... delete it too.. it must be in OEM common. but i think i delete it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richardyiu:
Actually i have removed all files from my EXT folder already but it is still the same...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Actually i had so much things MUST TO ADD in my ext folder... try to see if you change theboot.rgu file on muis entrie to your lang... include your OEN base_lang folder and be sure to include all the lang packages... check if you have the wincenls for your lang too!!!! if you want to get it... just dump the xip.bin of your dumped stcok rom. :cool: that wincenls you can add it to your OEM common folder too.

I use an ALL langs wincenls for hermes :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richardyiu:
i found the wince.nls in SYS\23034\SHARED\0404\WinCENLS_Lang_0404 so i didn't add another one in the OEM folder. I noticed that there was a _skip file in the WinCENLS_Lang_0404 folder. What does that file do?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
That must be the lang for your device and it must be for your device.... so the default in the Builds is not the right one get yours from a dumped stock rom and paste it to your OEM\device\COMMON. This file contains multiple lang settings like regional setings and clock.

that must be your problem dude.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
My volume screen is larger than it should be. (I am still playing in Mirion B1 with 23409.) Where do I find the Volume screen in the kitchen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Mmmmm lets see... first you need to transform the modules in media adobe adc of your sys, to files... you can use the tool in the GUI kitchen... hope it works for you.

The size of the volume is controled by the Shell.exe so maybe you couldnt resize it by yourself, must to wait for the build to fix it... i guess Ms will fix this issues at qvga (cause the Builds comes in VGA) when the first official release be public... you know... the HTC Mega is QVGA and is new... so maybe it will be a nice shot to all of us.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I tried the new 23034 you posted but every ROM I make on boot only has like 8mb free ram left and thats with nothing loaded but the default stuff..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
The volume screen is correct when I use the "Classic Blue" theme, but is wrong when I use Mirion...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
it seems that your pagepool changer is not working can you see at the end of the proces in the Msdos window the change of the pagepool? see if it change from 15mb to 4mb... if not change see if you have change th bat file to allow the osnbtoll do that task... i guess you are using the utakers edited native kernel.

Mmmmm xtrange... would you like to test this theme please... and tell me if it do the same oversized volume. thanks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
well im using the entire kitchen you uploaded so wouldnt all that be already set?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
yeah i think so... :D

but how could you lost that amount of memory?

in newer builds i just have a leak for 1 or 2 mb's
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
With the test theme the volume is the correct size. This suggests that the size is controlled by settings in the theme. I am going to see if I can figure it out.

(Remember that I am still playing in Mirion B1 - B2 may be fine, I don't know.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
B2 is fine cause i had the same them i just change the wallpaper and the buttons are bigger.

Thanks i think it must du to a file enlarged... maybe the menupopup or maybe the colored bluebar of the pop up image.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richardyiu:
thanks a lot. I followed all of your advices and now it works. I extracted the OEM folder from 3.54.751.2_6275_1.47.00.10_108 of the stock rom. There are only around 16mb RAM free at startup. Is there any to free more RAM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Mmmm try to set the pagepool in 4
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] qtotter:
language problem??

i have been trying to make a japanese rom from a scratch with your kitchen for days, but it does not boot. i can create 0409 roms with the same oem/rom/sys with your kitchen. of course, i know about *.mui, wince.nls, language structure of the kitchen, and etc. since i have been making japanese roms for universal, hermes, polaris and diamond for years.

the funny thing with it is even if i change SysLang and CurLang in boot.rgu from 0409 (eng) to 0411 (jap) and make a "0409" rom with your kitchen, it boots and SysLang and CurLang are still set 0409.

at first, i thought it was something that i did, however, i doubted that when i dumped a shipped chinese rom and simply rebuilt it. this shipped chinese rom rebuilt with your kitchen did not boot... not sure if you can hard-code to ignore SysLang and CurLang in boot.rgu in your kitchen.

why can i only make 0409 roms with it?? i am now analyzing not my files, but your bat files. thx.

p.s. i modified a diamond kitchen to cater for hermes myself, and i could make a 0411 rom which boots with exactly the same oem/rom/sys. i guess your kitchen has a problem with languages other than 0409...

qt
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Yes i have this troubles sometime ago... and remains jejeje :o

However dunno whats wrong cause sometimes it recognize another langs and soemtime it dont... so get a new kitchen and set it again... easy...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Changing the pagepool doesnt really give it more ram..well except for it will boot with about 17mb but thats it. Using the old kitchen under the same conditions will give you around 23mb and even more without titanium.

I imagine it must have something to do with the nk.exe or whatever it is thats being used but I can't figure out how to change it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DrewYK:
The next step in the process:

Does this kitchen have the tools to change the splash screens (I have not found them if they are there) or do I use one of the other tools I have seen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] FCW:
you can do it in nbhutil. you will need to have them ready as an nb file first and you need other tools for that. cant remember the names but i think there some info on the wiki
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:

Hi there!! the kitchen i downloaded says mistake in 7z archive, please repack it once again, (downloaded 3 times - didn't help)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Make sure you have the latest 7zip, I ran into issues like that using an older version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Ok, I have been trying to figure this out, and I just can't seem to manage. It's just not making sense to me.

How do I add my old oem packages to this kitchen? Right now I get the svn error, but I'm not understanding what needs to be changed.

I can get a rom to build just fine, as long as my oem's aren't in there.

EDIT: I think I am getting somewhere! I had an oem with more than one rgu file, I combined them and now it seems to be happy.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Yeah Boog... in the oem packages the RGU's for some reason (xtrange reasons) they duplicates by itselfs dunno why sometimes...

Altho... if you add all your stuff in OEM pkgs you can find many issues thats why the ext pakages are better cause are flexible at that aspect... If the kitchen say something about Error No SVN folders found... is not an issue or an error that causes a trouble the SVN folders are for make the IMG update.

I need to know if the new kitchen can be downloaded and xtracted fine... thanks for report. :cool:
