I ditto all of this!! I'd love to start building MY perfect ROM but could use an organized tutorial/course thread here.

I love this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3880039&postcount=3 but for a noob, non programing major, a lot of this is still beyond me.

Energy, if you'd be willing to help out with a tutorial for TP2, that would be awesome, not like you aren't already doing a thousand and one things!!

:D

Hi eras2r, I didn't dump out the ROM on my Tilt2, I just used the original HTC Tilt2 image that was finally released last week (?). Just used the NBH tools to extract out the components. My intention was to replace the original 6.5 OS image with 6.5.5 (23529), before replacing Sense 2.1, etc.

The Tilt2 tree + 23529 showed the error. So I went back to the original extracted tree, but could not build it - had the same error..

How do I use recmod in this situation? Here is my guess, please correct me if i'm wrong:

1) strip the ROM to the least number of packages

2) see if the build problem goes away

3) Slowly start adding packages and keep rebuilding

4) identify troublesome package

5) recmod and get it again and try to add?

Or is there a shortcut? or some other way to use the tool?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] twopumpchump:
seems like i had to recmod the modules inside concurrence manager pkg to make kitchen not crash when rebuilding. if its not that one then i think its one close to there in ext.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Thanks twopumpchump! Got this response too:

eras2r's words are slowly making sense, thanks to all of y'alls help.. :) heh, I'm a real newbie to all of this.. :)

I will try crachel's suggestion regarding ConcurrenceMgr and then do the same for "Notification Enhancement" if necessary..

Will update here if this fixes my problem..

Edit:

Thats so cool.. Worked like a charm! The platformrebuilder.exe & ImgfsFromDump.exe errors are gone.. I have my first ROMs now (slightly cleaned up Tilt2/Stock, Tilt2/Stock+OS build 23529/6.5.5)

Thanks eras2r, crachel & twopumpchump..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Thanks to Daxy for starting his Tutorial thread and to everyone for suggestions, ideas and generally helped out..

Just tried my first ROM. Haven't screwed up too badly (again, just cleaned up some ATT crap & added 6.5.5/23529) .. The ROM came up and booted, with one hiccup : I have an error window on my screen saying

"Run FILEOP

\windows\Menu_FILEOP_End.txt

failed"

Other than that, I'm rocking 6.5.5 (23529) and a Stock ATT Rom, with 110 MB free RAM. Nowhere near the polished offerings from our Great Chefs, but this is a start.. XDA Rocks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] flopshot:
I would love to see a noob tutorial for novices like me. I am very technically inclined (considering my job title is Director of IT! :) ) but figuring out how to cook ROM's has been a challenge I haven't been able to overcome, mostly due to lack of time to spend on the learning curve. I downloaded and put together the Easy Visual Kitchen but ran into the known problems of extracting a Rhodium ROM, so now I don't know where to begin to put together the pieces I need. I can't even get a working ROM together based on the official AT&T Tilt2 ROM just released but stripped of any apps and bloatware. (although a successful extraction probably would have made my life really simple) I'm sure I could figure this out if I spent a day reading hundreds of posts, but a step-by-step noob tutorial would be a huge benefit in getting new chefs to participate on this forum.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rgb-rgb:
What kitchen are you using? Using Ervius Visual Kitchen, the ROM Dump is really pretty easy.

1)Download the stock ROM, right click on the file and select extract files.

2) Move the RUU_signed.nbh file to a folder that is not in the Kitchen folder. Just make a new folder.

3) Open Evrius Visual Kitchen. Click the Dump nbh/nb/payload button and locate the RUU_signed.nbh that you put in the seperate folder. Click OK

4) Be patient, but when it gets done, you will have a compete Kitchen in the folder you created just a few minutes ago.

5) If you dumped the AT&T Stock ROM, you will probably need to recomod a couple of files in the ConcurranceMgr folder so that platformrebuilder will not crach buring the build.

To recmod those files:

1) In Ervius Visual Kitchen check the box at the left side *.dll under the Remodule packages button.

2) Click the From Module to File button and drill down to the ConcurranceMgr folder in the EXT folder. Select each .dll file you see there and hit ok. You can only do one file at a time so you will have to repeat the process a couple of times.

You should now be ready to build your ROM.

I'd like to see a ROM cooking tutorial too. I not a technical newbie, but in terms of cooking my rom i am too much of a n00b and my TP2 would be a litte expensive brick for my first tries :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lewy1:
I would love to see a clear and easy tutorial for those of us who don't know a thing about cooking. I've searched for days and yet have only managed to cook for my Vogue with the PPCKitchen which is easy to use, and even then only with builds that had been modified by the PPCKitchen staff for the kitchen. I couldn't figure out how to port a new build myself. I also have not yet been able to set up the Ervius Kitchen or OSKitchen for the Vogue, and believe me I read alot. I think that a tutorial that explains everything clearly including the most basic concepts would be very helpful to many members. It might be a good idea if besides one basic tutorial for all devices and kitchens, that there would also be a cllear guide as to how to set up the varius kitchens that are floating around hereon XDA. It seems that quite a few people have trouble at this first step, and never get to to the milestone of having cooked a ROM.

Thanks to all of you who kindly spend your time and energy to share your knowledge with others!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
Thanks for your help, but what you've said is a problem to me. For example, what exactly do you mean by "recmod"? I'm willing to learn, I'm a quick learner and I'm a technically inclined person too, but I need to know what things are/doing and why I'm doing things instructed to do.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
I second this post :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rgb-rgb:
I included the instructions on how to recomd in the post above.

Basically, recomd means you are taking the files and putting them back into a .dll file. Module from file means you will take the .dll and split it up into files which depending on your device will be better for memory.

EDIT: The reason for doing it is that on the AT&T Stock ROM there is a proiblem when dumping the files in the ConcurranceMgr Files. The problem causes a crash in the kitchen when you try to build a ROM. So the fix for now is to recmod (rebuild) ..dll files in the ConcurranceMgr folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Dont get me wrong here. The whole process was a little intimidating at the begining. Thanks to Daxy's thread on using the Virtual kitchen, I jumped in.

I have a working ROM under my belt, but there still are a lot of things I don't know. I am probably reading up more stuff than before the Jump, but alteast there is more focus now: fix the next problem I see.There is definitely a faint light at the end of the tunnel.

I'd be lying if I say otherwise. There is indeed a long/steep learning curve. No manual is going to sufficient for all the problems that might come up - that is the delightful chaos in the Windows developer/hacker's world. Hopefully someone has seen something similar and will provide an insight on how to tackle the problem.

I have been documenting my issues on the way and hopefully this will help others, just like daxy's start did. Y'all have also seen the enthusiastic response from the senior XDA members.

So don't let the learning curve stop you. I'm sure the end (a nice personal ROM) is a very motivating factor..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lewy1:
Thanks for the encouragement. Don't worry I don't give up so easily. I'm hoping to get better and better. I'm just saying that it's a a great idea to try tomake things easier for all those who are seriously intrested in learning about cooking and have a hard time even though they are not being lazy.:)

sense 2.5

hi all

I've tried to search but found nothing really helpful. I've experimented a little with sense 2.5 in my Rhodium ROM... I've got the ROM to run smoothly without sense activated, but have some problems when launching sense 2.5:

The "today" screen (the one with clock and quicklinks) shows up when launching Sense 2.5, but without the slider. Intead of the slider the "button" to show the slider in landscape is shown at the left buttom. After 3-5 sec sense crashes...

I've used packages from Topaz (2011) when it comes to the manila packages (since I've heard these are the fastest out now). Used localized packages from a Leo 2.5 build. I've included the manila entries from the initflashfiles.dat from Topaz, in my OEM initflashfiles.dat.

Are there more packages which manila needs upgraded/added to work? Or is there some essential things I've overlooked?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
That's great, thanks for the explanation. I have another question for you if that's ok? I understand that you can't take a cooked ROM from a chef and cook in your own applications because their ROMs are protected - is that true?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zelendel:
Yes most chefs protect their roms so if they are dumbed it doesnt dumb certin files needed
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] flopshot:
Robert,

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post. Step 5 is where I was having problems, and I was just starting to read posts about the recmod that I needed to do. The steps you outline above are exactly the kinds of "hand holding" that noobs like me require, so thanks again for taking the time to post this reply with detailed instructions.

FlopShot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rgb-rgb:
I don't believe that most chefs protect their ROMS on purpose, it is the KItchen that does not include the files the same way that they are in a stock ROM. From what I have seen browsing the forum, it has to do with .dsm files (I think).

However, please keep in mind that most of the chefs do not write the programs for their ROM's which means that they got them from somewhere else. Which means also that if they got them you can probably get them. Where do they get them from? Well, I would have to guess from newer ROM's being released and they are dumping them. As an example, you probably see a lot of Rhodium ROM's with Leo packages in them. Find a Leo stock ROM and dump it and then you have the Leo packages.

Another good way to get packages is to look at other Kitchens that have been released. Trust me, the are several good Kitchens in the Rhodium section. I have downloaded some and used packages from them. JoshKoss, Jackwater just to name a few.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rgb-rgb:
Glad I could help. I've only been doing this long enough to be dangerous :p

I've done a lot of reading on the forums here and now it's nice to know that I can contribute in some helpful way. I'll continue to do it as lonag as I can because I'm having a blast doing this :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Novek:
I've tried to search the forum for solutions, tried many different apporaches but still have some issues left with my ROM... Hope someone cares to help me

-For some reason there is two "startup setups". The one with calibration and timezone + password. And the HTC one. I would like to keep the HTC one, but get rid of the first one... I've tried many reg-edits but nothing have worked yet :S

-Dialer has a scrollbar on the right side - anyone managed to remove it yet? Or does anyone know of a working phonecanvas with 3G support for Rhodium?

-taskmanager icon covering clock in taskbar - I want to use the X2 taskmanager also.. is it just to make a package of it and make an app.dat to include it?

-opera is starting with some kind of localhost site when booting up - the solution is to don't cook inn push internett or disable it?

-Some error when pressing some options in settings view in sense (sound and display + data)... "SettingImprovement not signed or not present..." Can this just be a mui error as I'm cooking a 0414 ROM?

-I also want to include PHM regedit and Total Commander in my build, but haven't got the packages to install correctly yet.. any tips?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aw3s0m3:
Hey everyone,

i'd like to cook my own rom in my native language i read already a lot but at the moment i am unsure how to continue .. maybe someone could point me in the right direction.. :)

I got already the newest htc rom (RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium _4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship Rom Release) i already dumped it with

Ervius Visual Kitchen and it tells me i've got the 21887 version. (So i guess here i am set for the moment i guess)

I also got the 23529 Rollup - All Packages (~200MB) from Da_g Thread aswell as my own Language stock rom.

Here is where i am uncertain ... do i have to use the language files out of the the package from da_g or the other way around?

So what is the way to go if i want a new wm6.5.x ?

Thanks in advance

Hello all,

im a newbie but i learnt a lot since i bought the phone.

Im starting learning cooking a rom, so i started with EVK, now i have all components and unpacked stock 2.07.401 rom. with 21887 wm 6.5.

I dont know what to do next, if anyone of chiefs wants to be a tutor and mentor. please do. by pm or publicly but i would prefere by pm. But please be prepared for extreemly stupid questions.

now i want to remoove all unnecesery things and install some custom cabs.

Thank you in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] limkoksoon:
guys, i've been getting custom system crashes lately, actually for a month already.

as u guys c, my devices are below. i dunno why this is happening. sometimes i just got crashes for nothing. it gives me so headache.

both of my devices are acting the same.. randomly crashes..

isit because of the SPL? or the Radio?

guys, whats the best radio and spl for Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
As for Hero did you update to the lastest Radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] limkoksoon:
i guess i'll try..thx..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
do you use advanced task manager by any chance? i had my system repeatedly crash(the process system has encountered a problem force close), then i uninstalled advanced task mgr and got task killer instead..well my system seems stable so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
so far i have no crush using advance task manager. my hero status on my siggy =)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Just add "HTC CheckinService" to exclusions of Advanced Task manager :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] limkoksoon:
okok, regarding the advanced task manager i'll try the exclude. but so far i've update the radio version, no crashes happen yet. will try a couple more days and c how it works...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
did use use the "close all" function without checking what program you actually closed? it will close some program that you need to run your phone properly. & your phone will like restart.... hang abit.... then startup your phone again.

Advise: please do not anyhow close application unless you know what you'r doing :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] e.japonica:
it shouldn't have any problem unless you blindly closing all/any program running on your mobile as result of phone crash :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eldrid:
ooh yeah thats probably what i did. Task killer normally doesn't close checkin service so i assumed advanced task manager wouldnt as well...my bad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] G8D:
I was getting this all the time with my first 3.1 install. Mainly when USB mounting and using the Market.

A new install without wipe seems to have solved the issue.

Damnit just saw this: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2010...2-to-have-more-ram-rom-than-original-version/

That's a boatload of memory!

I hate when they do this!:(
[HD2 General] glewis101:
I am not sure i believe this... How many times before have things been leaked and they have been wrong.

It could just be one of those typos that we see so often from a non tech source.
[HD2 General] alexsql:
It is true

[HD2 General] MasterTP:
Uh, non-tech source? The source is HTC.
[HD2 General] xmoo:
It is probably true, But mayb our HD2 has it aswell but not actived yet.

Don;t think HTC will do something like that.
[HD2 General] MasterTP:
This is possible (remember the pre-realese roms only showed 320Mb or Ram).
[HD2 General] glewis101:
who knows still may be a typo....... has anyone done a teardown of our HD2 to see what mem chips are in it ?? this may see if it is not active in our devices, which i doubt.
[HD2 General] fitnessvip:
whats up with the htc aaaah hope our hd2 is that much powerfull:D
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Why not? :confused:
[HD2 General] crazy talk:
yeah, like the same thing has never happened the other way around.

it's our prize for getting the device ~5 months later then you.
[HD2 General] constructorx:
I have had my HD2 less than a week.

I have just emailed HTC to tell them that I will be returning it if I do not get answers. It is that simple. The important question is Windows Mobile 7 upgradable?

It leaves me with a bad feeling...
[HD2 General] shu8i:
it's not their fault that you couldn't wait they sold you a device with 512 mb ROM. They didn't lie or something. it's like i buy an iphone 1g and say after 3 years: "if you don't upgrade this to 3gs, ill sue you."

anyways a lil bit more ram/rom isn't a big deal for me.
[HD2 General] constructorx:
It's not their fault I could not wait? Wait for what exactly? Oh... wait for the new slightly upgraded HD2 that was so very clearly publicised and advertised? Can you show me where it was publicised that there would be a new version released so I could make a choice?

Think before typing....
[HD2 General] emigrating:
If this (RAM/ROM) is the only change (apart from band changes) that's all fine - however I have a sneaky feeling they will also have sorted out the pink camera issue (new lens perhaps) with these later revisions - in which case I will definitely demand an upgrade.
[HD2 General] cocks17:
Sooo poor

UK Vodafone HD2 user. We've already been stiffed over the poor quality of the early ROM's with camera quality, stability issues and lets not mention the on going saga that is the stuck sms issue in the outbox which hasnt been rectifyed yet and now this!

We truely have been stiffed on this one which the release of double ROM and upgraded Ram in the US. They should allows us to sub our phones in like Apple and O2 did when they upgraded iPhones from Edge to 3G v.quickly for those on £40 or more contracts could swap their phones for free.
[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
I'm just worried that the US device will be the minimum required for Windows Mobile with the push they are making, leaving Europe and Asia with no official upgrade. If they had to replaced all those outside the US that's a great hassle no company or indeed consumer will wish to endure.
[HD2 General] Megacamz:
This is bull****, what are HTC playing at? To me this is the equivalent of buying a gamesconsole and then a few months later they release one with more ram so it can play games which the first version cant i.e....windows mobile 7, I bet ours cant and theirs can.
[HD2 General] constructorx:
Email HTC and demand clarification. The more people do that the more likely some action from HTC on the issue. I agree with what you say...
[HD2 General] Syphon Filter:
If true, the above is all that needs to be said.
[HD2 General] shu8i:
it's not their job to publicise everything they are gonna publish ;) like the nexus one: rumor, rumor, rumor; 1 week befor release: official. it's like general knowledge. If i buy a phone now, the retailer won't tell me: oh, if you wait another 5 months, there will be better phones on the market.

dude it's technology. everything is improving over time. and they are NOT supposed to advertise everything ;)
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
In your opinion, when should HTC annouce it? No matter when HTC annouces it, there will still be unhappy people.

I do not understand this. The annoucement only applies to T-mobile USA 3G bands. It is not like this device is compatible to UK / Asian 3G markets. Your device is not compatible with USA T-Mobile 3G This is not an apples to apples comparison you are making. It is not like there are new UK/Asian models being released/ accounced at this time.

Just because the hardware specs are different, does not mean your device is faulty.

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] Xeon:
It's funny to see US people defending HTC :)

I bet you are more than happy...

Not only 1GB ROM but 16GB SD card as if they need it.

I got a 16GB for 45 EUR because the 2GB inside the box was a bad joke...
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
yes as it consumes allot of power and it is not a 3g chip
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
Just got this offical response!!!

"Dear valued customer,

Thank you for your enquirery dated January 24th, regarding the difference in specification between HD2 units.

We have changed the rom/ram units to make our flagship phone an even more capable unit, that will definitely be future-proof to any further installments and upgrades to the Windows Mobile operating system.

The new units will be released world-wide at the beginning of March, replacing the lower specication HD2 unit.

We will of course be recalling all the older HD2 units in circulation, and offering the ungraded HD2 unit free of charge as a replacement. Not as a gesture of good will you understand, but because we, at HTC shat our pants because we had an email come through which had the words "****" and "pissed" in it, from a XDA forum member.

Kind regards,

Diggles McGinty"
