Customizing Your ROM​

This Tutorial Contains Various Mini Tutorials On How To Customize Your ROM​

How to change your ROMs Name

In the kitchens tools folder there is a file called nbhgen.txt, edit the third line (which says "SEX1.R3" by default) to the new name of your ROM

In the kitchens OEM\OEMVersion there is a rgu file, edit the line in the file "ROMVersion"="SEX1-r3.61-XprT" changing "SEX1-r3.61-XprT" to the new name of your ROM

Note: Your ROM name can have a maximum of 16 characters and no more, change both of the above to chnage your ROMs name

How to change your ROMs Boot Screen

In the kitchens SYS\Redist_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800 folder there is a file welcomehead.192.png which is the phones boot screen

Only the first 480 x 800 pixels are used from the image taking from the left side of the image

Adding Extra OEM Packages

Simply take the package and place it in the OEM folder of the kitchen

Some packages have a language package with must be cooked also for example "PACKAGE_Kovsky_Camera" & "PACKAGE_Kovsky_Camera_0409"

OEMs can be extracted from Stock ROMs and some custom ROMs (if there unprotected), I will show you how to extract ROMs in a later tutorial

Upgrading Windows CE Build (SYS)

Replace packages from your old SYS folder with ones from the new SYS folder

Dont replace the folders ".VM" or "WinCENLS_WWE" because they are unique to that device

Dont replace files with resolution packages with newer resolution packages of a different size, for example "Redist_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800", this is for a phone with resolution 480 x 800, so dont replace it with something like this "Redist_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640"

The same goes for DPI, make sure the new package is the same DPI as your old one, for example "Base_DPI_192" this package has a DPI of 192, dont change it to something like this "Base_DPI_96"

Finally packages that contain language files must be replace with files of the same language or else the OS will be in another language, for example "Browsing_Lang_0409" this package is and english package (0409 is english) so dont replace it with something like this "Browsing_Lang_0407"

Changing The ROMs Default Date

After cooking a ROM, open XVI32 in the root of your kitchen

Click File > Open and select the "RUU_signed.nbh" file from the root of your kitchen

Press Ctrl and F, and search for "Jan"

Below the line its selected there should be something like "Apr 23 2009", Change it to something like "Aug 18 2009"

"Apr" stands for April change it to the first 3 letters of the month you want to change it to

Customizing Using Autorun​

This Tutorial Is Not Finished, Please Ignore It​

In most ROMs, there is a customizing screen which is shown just after the ROM is cold booted (ran first time or ran after hard reset). This is where all the CABs are installed, theme is set and the last registry entries are added. In this tutorial I will show you how to use autorun to customize your ROM.

First in the kitchen go into the OEM\OperatorPkg folder.

Installing CABs With Autorun

First place the CAB you want to install into the OEM\OperatorPkg folder

Open either config.txt or config_operator.txt, I would use config.txt

Add line in between "LOCK:Enabled" and "LOCK:Disabled", "CAB: \WINDOWS\your_cab_file.cab" replacing "your_cab_file" with the exact name of the CAB.

Remeber the more CABs you have, the longer it will take to customize, so only use it if converting it to a package doesnt work.

Installing TSKs (Theme's) With Autorun

First place the Theme you want to install into the OEM\OperatorPkg folder

Open either config.txt or config_operator.txt, I would use config.txt

Add line in between "LOCK:Enabled" and "LOCK:Disabled", "TSK: \WINDOWS\your_tsk_file.cab" replacing "your_tsk_file" with the exact name of the TSK, this changes your default theme

Put as many themes as you want in the OperatorPkg folder, they will all be added into the list in today settings

It's all clear and easy to follow: the perfect tutorial! :D

I was waiting for this for long time, thank you!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
well done TotalFire, keep the high spirt
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SyntheticDistortion:
great work...i can finally understand how this works! When will you release another tutorial? I would love to know how to put programs in your rom (or the packages, for that matter) install skins or a connectio nsetup which runs automatically....

love this!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
I'll try and release a few tommorow.

Does anyone know if its possible to disable smilies in a post?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] rotastrain:
yes when u reply click go advanced .then u click disable smilies in text!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
Thank You

--------------
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] bassam:
Totalfire , i believe after you finish this tutorial any beginner can cook his own rom with his own recipe

so please continue the same SIMPLE wording

thanks M8
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
I will, just need a bit more time
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
Please request tutorials, and i'll make then. Dont know which one to make next.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] killer8nl:
Nice tutorial:) I'm using Visual kitchen myself but nice tutorial for old style:)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
Ive just started using the visual kitchen, didnt give it much of a try last time. Seems good so far.

Fixing BuildOS Error's

While cooking ROMs you are very likely to come across error's, this post will show how to fix some of them.​

Default.hv And User.hv:

Open the file temp\log.txt, and scroll to the bottom of it

Look at the second last line, there should be an error message with the name of a rgu file

Higlight the rgu file and copy the name to clipboard

Search the root of the kitchen with the text you just copied from the last step

Look at the folder it says and open the rgu, there is a problem in there you need to fix
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
As i have switched to visual kitchen, it would be easier for me to make guides for that, would anyone prefer me to continue making a guide for the old style kitchen. BTW visual kitchen, is easier especially for thing like porting SYS and ROM.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] spikegotti:
if i need to remove anything from the OEM before cooking (like a panel), just delete the item? or is there another task i must perform as well?

BTW thanks for this tutorial, this is soo damn simple, nuff respect to you dude ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
Yes you just delete it, or add an option.xml then you can keep the package but it will not be added to the ROM.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] spikegotti:
OK thanks again dude, you rock
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
Im glad my tutorials are helping

Im going to write some visual kitchen tutorials, i'll post a link here once the first one is finished
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] outie:
Very informative and detailed tutorial. Keep up the good work.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] guibao:
TotalFire:

I came to this thread based on a tip by Rota. I found it awesome!

Since you asked I'll make a request: I want to cook a rom for PT-Br xperias.

What do I need to change/replace/add in order to keep accents, keyboard layouts, regional graphic chars and the else.

Let's say I pick someone's cooked ROM and want to use just with PT-Br keyboard, even if the OS is entirely in english language. Another option would be having a whole PT-Br OS running on manilla, other interfaces or wm6.5.

What are all the options we have languagewise?

How do we do it?

Thanks a lot, I've been looking for a walkthrough like this. Other chefs suppose you already know a bunch of stuff.

Thank you again Rota :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
Glad you like it.

As there's a lot to write, i'll make a tutorial for what your asking later today(if i have time)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] guibao:
No rush, we look for your quality posts, it's worth the time waiting :D:D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] outie:
In regards to upgrading to a newer build of WM... the ROM folder...

Is there a guide for this? Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
I havn't had a chance to make this guide yet, but i'll get one out soon as possible.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] newstar:
Bro you will make all of us chefs ,, pls pls pls get time and complete tutorial and many many bundle of thanks :D

Fine regards
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] TotalFire:
Im going to finish it but ive been very busy lately. Once I get time, i'll start another one.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Keen Eye:
Just tried to dl Totalfires kitchen, but the link isn't working. Can't find the kitchen anywhere else.

Can anyone of you provide a dl-link? Thanks so far!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] jescca:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] chadster214:
I sent a text message to multiple contacts. my contacts recieved the text messages, but under the sent items it shows the text message sent but with only one contact?? :confused::confused: Anybody experiencing this bug with the Official HTC Fuze ROM update? anybody got a fix for this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] chadster214:
nevermind. I got it fixed
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NICOBJJ:
:confused:it is possible?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] narlytom:
...google maps has satellite view..and street view where its available. the latest version also supports layers (e.g. for wikipedia)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NICOBJJ:
so then...google maps it´s better than google earth?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] narlytom:
depends what you want to use it for?

i haven't used google earth on my pc for a few years..ever since satelite view became available on google maps. 'google earth' is not available for mobile

google maps isn't '3d' like 'google earth', and is not quite as 'flashy' with its zooming, and rotating, but it is perfect for mobile - with the search, and satelite/ street views.

it comes already installed (usually) on the HD, as well as being present in the majority of cooked ROMs
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NICOBJJ:
ok...i was just asking, because i saw a video in youtube, google earth running on an iphone...

thanks!!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
you are wright.. google earth is compatible with iphone.. but it probably isnt out for windows mobile.. considering that iphone has a lot more software support..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Eagledig:
it's google map on Iphone, not google earth.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] azagoth:
Google map comes pre-installed on the IPhone, but you can download google earth as a separate application.

It is very laggy on the IPhone by the way....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stinchy:
Google earth on the new iphone is awesome now :(

I've seen a few websites (can't remeber where, sry) saying it's trying to be developed for windows mobile. No idea when

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] thedynamix:
How do I get the games/ROMS on to the Hero?

THANKS!
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nicelad_uk:
Wrong section, this should be in Hero Q&A.

And I don't know the answer to your question, don't use these programs
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebastian768:
How do you clear the music from the music player list on the Hero?

I deleted all the songs from the /MP3 folder while I had the device mounted and then synced a bunch of new ones from MediaMonkey. BUT the old ones are still in the player and won't off course play. So how do I clear them without deleting 1 and 1 file? I can't find any options in the menu or settings to clear this.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] robbiejh:
I'm looking for someone who can make a unlockschreen like this animation;

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] namwollem:
Hey hey!

How good would that be?! I suppose in theory it shouldn't be too difficult but unfortunately I have NO skills in that regard whatsoever! :-(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TopazDuplex:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 1337_V1k1n6:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 1337_V1k1n6:
I have notified grzegorz10 who is skilled on the topic.. maybe he'll help us out :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] robbiejh:
hope so :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 1337_V1k1n6:
Well he didn't think that would be an easy task :( so I guess it will remain a dream :P
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jooyyy:
Slide to unlock does not support swf but gif at present.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] robbiejh:
so that's why i started this thread, to find someone that can solve this probem..:rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deemota:
I have the Dash 3G and it has the option of turning off the GPS, I have been searching like crazy on TP2 and can't find it. It's draining my battery and I want to keep it off until I need it.

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
Are you running an app that is using the GPS?

I just have a Tilt, but the GPS only turns on when an app requests it.

If you are using Google Maps or something there is an option to track you using GPS, and if its on you can click it again to turn it off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deemota:
I believe it is always on by default. It's always on the Dash 3G, but it has an option to turn it off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mad_tunes:
I may be wrong, but i think (at least by default) GPS stays off until an app tries tries to use it..then turns off when an app stops using it.

Hence the delay in getting a fix after opening an app which uses GPS. if it were always on, it'd already have a lock...?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deemota:
I could be wrong also, but I believe it stays in sleep mode. Then completely turns on when an app needs it. HTC has always had the option to completely turn it off in Comm Manager.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deemota:
Anyone????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
why do you think it's on? maybe something else is draining your battery
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bravo261:
gps was never in the comm manager, was it? i really really don't think so
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mad_tunes:
I cant say I've ever seen a com manager showing it...GPRS yeh, but not GPS
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
The GPS is not on unless it's in use, something else must be causing you problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deemota:
Oh Ok thanks guys. But I could of sworn that there was an option to turn GPS on or off in previous devices such as the Touch Diamond.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Scann69:
Nup....i have a touch diamond and never seen an option to turn off GPS in comm manager.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Well if you'd follow the steps online, it should work just fine. Many others have done it before. I can't find a guide for you, I've got some real work to do, but I'm sure you'll find a guide within minutes of searching.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Tsanger:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] buckaroo:
Does anyone know what cradles are compatible with the T-Mobile TP2? I know that the T-Mo is a bit less rounded then the standard version, and I'd hate to buy a cradle that didn't... well, cradle.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] alexwest:
Try this?

I just ordered my online after reading a local forum. Looks ok to me.

Cheers:)

http://shop.brando.com/deluxe-desktop-2nd-battery-cradle-for-htc-touch-pro-2_p03438c1050d039.html
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jrwingate6:
Someone in the tmonews forums already ordered that and the T-Mobile version did not fit into it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] karazz:
I've bought one yesterday...

and I will let you know if it fits, don't expect any difficulties. The cradles I've bought on ebay all fitted well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] buckaroo:
Thanks, I look forward to hearing about it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jblade1000:
Yup that was me. And I bought two of em:(

Shipped em back for a full refund though. I'm anxiously awaiting a Tmo compatible one (preferably with the audio out on the back as well as charging an extra battery)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jblade1000:
I see you are on Vodaphone. Do you have a Tmobile USA branded Touch Pro2 you're using?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] karazz:
As you can see I live in Holland, so quite logically I'm not using a Tmobile usa branded touch pro 2. ;)

I'm using an unbranded Touch Pro 2 device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Kana-chan:
Hello,

I see that there are 2 differents HTC Touch Pro2.

One is the T7373 from HTC and some T7379 (like telus in Canada) where there is an audio jack near the USB port !!

So some cradles don't fit to these specials T7379 HTC Touch Pro2 :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ckinwing:
just bought it few days ago
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Mike Mercury:
I just received this cradle:

The box is clearly marked "for HTC Touch Pro 2"... and it does not fit my T-Mobile TP2. :(

Place I ordered it from says "then you don't have a TP2".

I'm like "pal, I know what phone I have. It's a T-Mobile version - would that matter?"

he responds: "It shouldn't matter" (with some hesitation).

I'm sending it back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jblade1000:
Well thanks for sharing, the more info we share, the less others will make mistakes:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jblade1000:
uh ok i was just a bit confused because the thread is about the Tmo (usa) TP2.

with you having an unbranded one, I doubt you'll have any problems with the dock you ordered.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] karazz:
ah ok, my fault... but what's the difference between the T-Mo version and the 'normal' version?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jblade1000:
the tmo version has a different shaped bottom than the htc unbranded one. the verdict is still out on the att&t, sprint, and verizon versions since they haen't been officially released. thats the reason this thread was created, we need to share what docks, if any, will either

a) work with our version

or

b) made specifically for our version
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ITNV:
Did you get that from eBay?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] amb9800:
Hmm yeah, looks like nothing fits the T-Mobile version yet.

ckinwing, which one is that? Looks like it might not be fitted around the bottom-front, and so might potentially fit the T-Mo version?

I'm looking for something light and compact, like the iPhone cradle...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jblade1000:
like i mentioned earlier, two mandatory requirements for me are the ability to charge a spare battery and an audio out so i can listen to my music at work while charging it. Hopefully something comes out soon or someone discovers a version that is compatible
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] buckaroo:
So, any idea if it fits the T-Mobile TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Any updates? My T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 will be coming Thursday, I want to find a nice one like this-

http://cgi.ebay.com/DELUXE-CRADLE-W...ries?hash=item43987cfc96&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

I almost bought that one until I read "This cradle is designed for STANDARD EUROPEAN VERSION HTC TOUCH PRO2 and it may not fit any US version Pro2 phone such as T-MOBILE PRO2 US version"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] karazz:
received it, and it has a different shape in the bottom than my version has (no t-mobile version) I don't know if the 2 outshapes (is it the right word?) are particular for the T- mobile version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Yeah, the T-Mobile is a bit different on the bottom than the stock version, why couldn't they just make them all the same? Grrr :D Anyway, I went ahead and bought this one tonight after contacting the seller, he said a buyer had contacted him and said after a bit of dremeling on the phone docking area on it it worked perfectly with his T-Mobile TP2-

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290321136790

I have a Dremel, and a set of attachments for it, I imagine all that has to be done is sand down the right and left areas at the bottom of the dock area, which will be a very easy, very quick job. I'll let the forum know how it all goes when I get it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] elpmet27:
Do not buy the Boxwave cradle.. it definitely will not fit... I am returning the one I purchased. It also came with an AC adaptor, which I am still trying to figure out since it will not charge a battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mdkbob:
I'm eagerly looking for a cradle for my Telus (T7379) TP2. It has the new headphone connector which means the usb plug is shifted to the left.

:(

I haven't seen or heard of any docks that work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] californiarailroader:
Has anybody had any luck yet?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] elpmet27:
I don't feel the need to dremel a cradle for my TP2.. My fear is breaking the fragile USB port.. Boxwave told me they have no plans to market a different cradle and gave me RMA number. Fair enough, but still no joy for the US version T-Mo cradle. If someone knows of one that works perfectly let me know...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Mike Mercury:
I was also given an RMA form for the one I got. But since a drop-in cradle is very important to me... I also modified mine and kept it.

My cradle had that clear-plastic former that sits on top of the base... and is supposed to curve around the sides of the TP2. I removed the clear-plastic piece, heated it up with a heat gun... and reshaped it to fit my T-Mo TP2. I also had to reposition the mini-USB connector in the base - because it was not angled properly. Then I had to dremel some of the areas of the black base so the TP2 would sit all the way down in it.

T-Mo may be the odd child out; the newly introduced Sprint version of the TP2 looks like the unbranded HTC version; and has the 3.5mm headphone jack as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] vardig:
You should ask your operator...if they do not stock any then ask HTC US and they should send you to some suppliers of your version cradle.

all I can say is you lucky ****** Why does europe not have that connection...:mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mdkbob:
Yeah the connector is nice but this version doesn't have the FM radio so its not all peachy; and I checked with the operator, they don't have anything.
