[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Humblehippie:
I figured there may be a compatibility issue {otherwise there wouldn't be a .old file}. I am looking for another copy of the updated version. Apparently the one that I have is corrupt. I opened it with Resource Hacker & it appears to be missing alot of info.

I don't know if I want to build a 6.5 yet tho. I tried Ivan's JustHome & found the things i like far underweighed the dislikes. Mostly I just want to strip out all the crap & replace it with my usual programs. After I successfully create my personal ROM, I will start cooking for the community. Of course I won't be able to include all the same software, as most of what I use must be registered.

I have been hacking & reprogramming Motorolas for years. Since I switched to PPC phones I have been studying up on it every day. I have read thousands of posts thru hundreds of threads {you know it all too well}. Unlike many tho, I will not try doing anything till I feel that I am comfortable with the knowlege. I have bricked {& recovered} MANY Motorolas in my Symbian learning process. I know the trial & error part all too well :rolleyes:

To Ace: Believe me, I will let you guys know if I hit a major pothole. I'm hoping that your guides & my knowlege are enough to get thru the first one. Just like most things in life, The first time is always the hardest.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Lol.

Yea, I've been through the hell of searching for info. Sometimes I just had to ask Ivan and ToadLife, and then I wrote a guide on how to do that, so that future cooks can easily do it.

And you WON'T brick your phone. At least, not permanently. (as long as you're HardSPLed, that is)

But, what don't you like about WinMo 6.5???
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Humblehippie:
And much Kudos to you for the guides. Everyone claims their guide is a step by step, but yours deliver. they are great for all the noobs that wanna run before they learn to walk.:D Then they start crying because they "bricked" their PPC. Common sense should tell you to keep a copy of the stock ROM just in case.

I did HardSPL {CanonYang}, But even if I hadn't, I wouldn't worry about a perma-brick. I have bricked & recovered enough Symbians to know that nothing is unrecoverable! {unless you set the overclocks too high & fry the CPU. I did that on a Moto A1200 a while back :P} As long as I know how it crashed, I can usually reverse it. Plus I keep copies of many ROMs handy just in case I need to flash back to a reliable system.

As concerns 6.5: For starters I had a really hard time getting the Internet to stay active. I use my Wing's Inet Sharing to keep my laptop active when there's no wifi access around. I would only get it to connect for about 20-30 minutes at a time, then it would timeout. {I even changed the reg settings, & still couldn't keep a live connection}. I really hated the Inet Explorer that is on the JustHome ROM. It's not practical for such a tiny screen. I know you, & everyone else will tell me to use Opera, but I like opera even less. I have tried many different {miniature} browsers, & find the standard PIE to be the easiest to use {especially after installing SPB Pocket Plus, so I get tabs}. There were a few other things that bugged the crap out of me but, I can't remember right now. I may try to modify a 6.5 in the future but I want to make sure that I can do one first.

Don't Get me wrong. I am not saying that Ivan's JustHome is Crap!! I am saying that I didn't like it. It ran smooth & stable {& at a decent speed}. It is a great ROM for someone that wants to use 6.5. But for me it's just not right.

Does anyone have a copy of the newer G'reloc file? I have been searching, but all the ones that I see have the same structure in Resource Hacker. Once I make a successful 6.1, I will give the 6.5 a try. I'm not turning my back on it completely till I have a chance to try it setup my way.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] toadlife:
I'm pretty sure that the newest "greloc.exe" is in my kitchen. All that new Greloc.exe does is redirect to another utility, WMReloc.exe, which processes the modules.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] toadlife:
Regareding greloc and wmreloc, you really don't need ANY version of greloc.exe.

Check this thread out over at the ppcgeeks.com forums.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I'm coming in late to the party, why are you looking for a newer g'reloc or to replace g'reloc with m'reloc?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
I've been following along...wondering the same thing!!!

I don't see a reason why to replace it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
If your 6.5 ROM crashes while building at the G'reloc, just turn those modules that are crashing into files. (If its AdobeFlash or Browseringie.)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
He's only working with 6.1 right now. And if you port 6.5 correctly, hopefully it'll all build properly. (I think I just got lucky porting it, lol)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Not exactly luck. You downloaded a set of SYS files that had already been adjusted. By default, you need a newer kitchen (Like platformrebuilder or ervius's kitchen) AND a native 6.5 nk.exe.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Humblehippie:
OK forget about g'reloc! The problem has been settled. Thank you Toad; the info about G'reloc pointing to wmreloc gave me the answer. I modified the buildNB.bat file located in the ETC folder. After deleting both G'reloc files from the tools folder, & replacing G'Reloc.exe with WMReloc.exe in the buildNB.bat file, Everything worked great. I don't know why this worked for everybody but me. So if anyone else runs into a proble just modify the BuildNB file & change G'Reloc > WMReloc.

As concerns which ROM I plan to use: That remains undecided. For starting out, I am going to just work with the 6.1 ROM {mostly because I already have a lot of files, & knowlege of it's structure. I will look into the 6.5 ROMs as soon as I create my 1st stable ROM that I am happy with. So, the day that I have release a 6.1 ROM on XDA-Dev, is the day I start working on the 6.5. I have been reading posts for months & only now do I feel I have enough base knowlege to start cooking.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] elazullizard:
Problems in building

I downloaded the kitchen, and then I extracted it to the root of my C drive. Afterwards, I turned off UAC. The first thing I do with the kitchen is to build a sample ROM. The only problem is that after I close the BuildOS window, this comes out instead of the black command prompt.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Did you install the C++ 2005 and 2008 redistributables? It's needed for any kitchens sourced off Bepe's Extended Kitchen, which this is.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dez93_2000:
Hi all. After much gnashing of teeth with awful performance of my Touch HD, which was cured by sending it back & getting fixed, I'm now at a stage where everything's working quite well, so naturally I want to tinker with it :D

I've seen recent (i.e. this week) posts about continued improvements by MS on the 6.5 OS, which will assumedly get incorporated into future ROMs. Also, HTC seems to be getting near to releasing touchflo/manilla 2.5.

As i've not flashed before (ho ho), I'm a bit trepidatious about the whole thing, and am keen not to have to do it regularly, given the hassle of PIMbackup/sashimi/scripts/etc. So what I'd like to geet a feel for - what I wonder if anyone has any useful opinion about - is:

If you were upgrading, when would you do it? What would you wait for? A specific WM6.5 build? A stable release notice from MS? An official release of manilla2.5? A cooked ROM which has official stable manilla2.5 final on top of official stable 6.5 final, and has been beta-tested like crazy by other users?

All musings appreciated.

Cheers

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] herczyn:
i flashed my first rom the day i got my hd.

why wait?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] purec0de:
Quite right too!!

the HDs standard ROM is dog-awful compared to the somewhat refined offerings on this forum.

IMO avoid Manilla 2.5 until HTC have finished it...its getting a lot better but needs some refinement.

decide whether you want 6.1 or 6.5 then have a look through the chefs thread for each version ie. NRGZ28, Dutty , Mirri to name but a few (apologies to the chefs not mentioned)

the latest build of each ROM are 'usually' ok but its alway best to check the most recent posting in any thread which some give some indication of this.

Also make sure you read the wiki regarding flashing CrackWhore i believe offers sound advice.

and dont for a second think you will only flash once! LOL its very addictive.

but there is one thing for certain no matter whose ROM you go for it WILL utterly transform your HD

good luck & happy flashing!! :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] squirreleater:
Don't be scared, read up properly and flash away.

As said, It's addictive and you'll end up trying all the different Roms.

Only you can decide what and when is a good time to try whatever OS or Manilla you want, they are changing all the time so I would follow purecodes advice and get flashing.

Basically get the latest Hardspl, then decide on a rom and have them all downloaded ready on the pc. have loads of wiki type pages open to reassure you and plug in, install the Hards spl (5 mins) and them the rom (10-15 mins)

I use pim backup for contacts, texts,calender,etc and sprite for email and tones/settings, never had a problem with gettin the phone back how i like it within half an hour. MS myphone is another backup to have.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As long as you follow dummies guide for flashing and read up on each rom you'll be fine.

As for everything else, your queries are opinionated and will create a long thread and is thus frowned upon. For this reason I am closing this thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Cheesebaron:
Hello fellow XDA'ers.

I am trying to make animated boot screens for the second boot screen that shows op. You know the boot.gif thing where you specify images in the boot_animation.xml file.

Problem is, the phone garbles up ALL the animated gif images that I have created. The original ones from HTC works fine, but not my own. What am I doing wrong here?

I have a sample here: http://ostebaronen.dk/android/2nd_splash/domo-kun/

The domo-kun is supposed to move his mouth, but on the phone it shows all garble, like it cannot animate the file properly or something. I tried both interlaced and non-interlaced.

Any ideas?

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Cheesebaron:
No it isn't that thread is about the first splash screen witch I perfectly know how to convert images to and flash them on the phone. However this thread is about the animated boot screen that you can change on the HTC build ROMs, where the files reside in /system/media. I have been through the whole Dream - Themes and Wallpapers forum, without any luck on this matter.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Cheesebaron:
Seems that they must not contain transparency and maybe not very large, but investigating the last claim.

Finally got the domo-kun splash to move its mouth, lol :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Teh Dust:
I am having the same problems on the Hero rom for the Dream. I have tried nearly every setting in PhotoShopCS4 can you tell us how exactly you got your gif to animate properly???
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Cheesebaron:
I am using gimp, I made 3 images for the domo-kun boot screen which can be found here: http://ostebaronen.dk/android/2nd_splash/domo-kun/

Nothing in the image can be transparent, so if you have a single pixel which has a transparent background the image will not load properly at all. Afaik photoshop does that to GIF images to save space, which is quite annoying, at least it did that last time I tried.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Hummeroid:

Seem strange being that he has 100% feedback on ebay.
[General Topics] CrezyMunky:
His rating and the fact that it is a store and not an individual is why i bought it there. First place I saw that had it. Made the purchase, and he was very courteous throughout the process. I went to my companies mailroom this morning to pick it up, opened it and it had nothing but and empty box. The reason i suspect this to be fraud is that he entered all the info for the shipping to FEDEX at his home and listed the package weight at 1.1 pounds. Fedex tracking lists the package at less than half that weight (due to the product not actually being there.) If this guy ships the thing or refunds my money, I would be very surprised. IF this turns out to be something he can explain, other than it msut be FEDEX's fault, AND i get what i paid for, I would be happy to retract/edit my claims. Until then I mostly put this out as a warning to others. I will update when i have more info.

Hi,

When I receive e.g. an sms, I select the "remove notifications" button in the notification bar on the top... works fine but when a few hours later I open the sms-application I suddenly again get the same notification

It seems like the phone notices that I haven't "read" (opened) the text message yet...

Kinda silly especially for short messages that you can read directly in the notification bar.

Anyone else has this problem?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] minogue:
well its actually not a problem for me, like you said unless you open the message the notification will keep coming.

so just open it i guess, its no big deal. i just did it in 1.5 seconds...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] njakobs:
Clearing the message in from the notification bar only clears the message from the notification bar not mark it as read. You can change the settings in the messaging app if you want. Or if you want a pop up use 'SMSpopup' from the market.
