Whoops sorry that's actually a bug, it should show all the package names and Guids. I wonder why nobody reported this yet since that part wasn't changed since 1.30 started.
[Windows Mobile] jjblaster3:
2day was the first time i had taken a look at the priority stuff, thats when i noticed it..

by the way, i've read through the threads seeing ppl talk about image compression.. since UPX is for exe's and dll's only is there another compression app included in the kitchen or was that an external app? if so, whats it called?
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
I have no idea if they meant something for manila or something to convert the windows mobile files but the kitchen doesn't do that stuff automatically (probably the manila one in the future).
[Windows Mobile] jjblaster3:
alright then thanks, will be looking forward to it :)
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
I added alpha2 to the first post that should finally show the entries correctly but still does no loop detection so make sure you don't crossreference the packages (the check is done on build anyway so it shouldn't be a big issue).
[Windows Mobile] jjblaster3:
wow that was fast.. thanks again
[Windows Mobile] variosteph:
i think they talked about *.png compression, with tools like pngmonster which was included in another kitchen i think.

personally i haven´t got luck with this, i was always getting error-messages if i remember right.

But would be a great feature to add to this wonderful kitchen:D

EDIT: also here´s a link to image compression freeware:

[Windows Mobile] RoryB:
I skipped alpha1 and downloaded alpha2. The ROM it built gave me a certificate error for the mscr file I run by app.dat copying it to startup. I went back to v1.30v3 and created the ROM with the same kxml loaded and it flashed fine.

About OsKitchen Zero v1.31alpha2

OsKitchen Zero v1.31alpha2 have many questions. have no aku,...
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Reimporting was needed only after 1.30 alpha1 to improve the building order but was not mandatory. If you already re-imported after alpha1 since I didn't change anything else you wouldn't get any other advantage by re-importing again.

Yes I did, I replied you a few pages ago. Again, thanks! :D
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
I changed the build order again (now the original order is the package structure order and then the DSM settings are applied so you can apply those where needed and use renamed folders in the other places) and this time provxml are applied in order as well. Probably you have something that is not applied in the correct order but until I hear something from HD2/HD Mini/Rhodium owners I can't tell if it could be a kitchen problem.
[Windows Mobile] zhuchella:

It can potentially work with any phone as long as platformrebuilder doesn't crash. Try importing the BIN of your phone as omnia and see what happens when building.
[Windows Mobile] jjblaster3:
i think there's a problem with the 1.31 alpha.. after flashing the rom i cooked i find windows live and internet sharing at the root of the start menu (while they should be in a folder)

also im missing some settings shortcuts eg advanced network.. and comm manager's icon is the stock one and not custom one.

I thought this was a problem from my side but after lyk 2 hours of dumping stock roms, flashing and flashing i realised its the kitchen causing it..

So i went back to v1.30v3 and all is well now, hope this isn't a huge issue to fix

New automatic renaming of the provxml files

How to disable "New automatic renaming of the provxml files"?

It's problem for me. My add2config_operator.txt file with the string "XML: \Windows\finish.provxml" does not work. I do not know how the file finish.provxml will be named.

but it seems that pngoptimizer does png, gif and bmp!
[Windows Mobile] RoryB:
Since you are using XML: to run your file why not name it finish.xml and use "XML: \Windows\finish.xml"?
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
I looked and there seem to be tons of PNG optimization software around and there are also scripts (like PNGSlim) that invoke different tools hundred of times on the same file to get the smallest output possible but as you can imagine it's very slow and the output loses quality so this is a thing that should be done during cooking (to avoid ruining the original files) and needs a cache to avoid repeating the process for any file. I won't add that right now because it would require lot of work on the platformrebuilder build process but as soon as I dump platformrebuilder I'll add the feature.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Thanks mate, really appreciated.....PNGMonster did work for me only the first time after then always overflow error.........ill give a try to this one:)

Quick suggestion. U made need to make it part of the process to strip the current attributes of some of the PNG's in order to make the compression work on it. I use this command before i compress my png's

Hello,

i dumped a Topaz-ROM with version 1.30 and i have the problem, that the operator-package is not applied completely.

I tried it with 1.30, 1.31alpha1 and alpha2 and it seems, that the HTC Black theme is not applied. I have a standard blue windows theme.

I hope you can help me,

Inselstaat
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Actually I was thinking about stripping the attributes from everything. Since the kitchen overwrites the attributes and having them slows down the cooking a lot it's pretty useless to keep them.
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Almost surely a bad EXT package, try turning them off to see if the crash stops and if it does enable only small groups of them until you find the one causing the crash.
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Are you sure you dumped the ROM with 1.30 and not 1.29 Did you try cooking the ROM without changing anything?

Inselstaat

Update: With 1.31alpha2 I dumped a Stock 2.53 Topaz Rom in german and cooked it right after that. No changes, the HTC Black theme is not applied and also no folder icons from projectdefault_a (or b, don''t know this exactly at the moment). But the icons did not work with Erviuskitchen and not with any version of osKitchen from 1.23 on.

I will now try it with version 1.30 and will keep you updated.

Update 2: With a dump made with 1.30v3 the HTC theme is applied, but the startmenu folder icons don't work. Maybe you will find something to enable them too.

[Windows Mobile] nosedive:
hey.. i'm pretty new to all this kitchen now, cooking with evk now for ages ... read through the thread and don't know why there are so much problem as there are no for me..

but that's not my actual concern..

when i ported my pkgs and ext to original oskitchen, i was not happy about the copy of pkgs to a temp folder - as i have tons of ext from different devices..

now oskitchen zero is much more clever and does a sort of numeric ordering before platformbuilder runs ... very well done! thumbs up :)

still there's something i miss from evk, but this necessarily is not related to evk rather to platformbuilder .. for ever what reason i had "multi-dpi" packages in evk looking like this:

├ folder skin (eg. condor black gt)

├ 0407

│ └ files

├ 0409

│ └ files

├ files

now the funny thing

├ dpi_192

├ 0407

│ └ files

├ 0409

│ └ files

├ files

├ dpi_96

├ 0407

│ └ files

├ 0409

│ └ files

├ files

i hope you can imagine a folder structure like this? this was extremely useful, as i was able to separate files for dpi_96 from dpi_192 ... i guess platformrebuilder was called somehow different and recognized those dpi-subfolders.. since i ported my stuff over to your kitchen, it won't work no more..

though this is very useful, it's also limited: it wont work with folders like dpi_96_resv320_resh_240 which is my actual concern about this.. if you add some support like parsing those extra folders, we would be able to create some kind of multi-dpi packages, or at least separate the dpi-files

anyways, great kitchen! i like the pre- and post-cooking command.. this was the main reason why i switched over to your work!

cu,

edit: i attached the mentioned condor gt black theme for your easier understanding..

hi mate...version 1.31 alpha 2

don't work well for me

after flash don't work

i think depend from provxml from pack opera

now i will send pm to you for specific the problem in italian :D
[Windows Mobile] programatix:
Hi,

I'm not sure whether this has been reported. I think 1.31 alpha 2 is not handling the provxml file correctly.

Platformrebuilder does not warns of overwritten provxml files and after flashing, the setting that is supposed to be done by provxml files are missing too.

There is no problem with 1.30v3.
[Windows Mobile] alesscam:
yes mate,same proble,read up your post

there is a problem also when try install different cab,

is not possible "not autorizzation" error....

i think that the problem is in provxml not loaded after boot

Ahaaa... that's the problem i am facing... reverted back to 1.30v3...
[Windows Mobile] kurniawan77:
maybe i am asking this in the wrong thread... but then again maybe it has to do with the kitchen..

1.31 have many question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Seen where?

The startmenu folder icons is a known platformrebuilder issue, please try the latest version to see if both the issues are fixed.

The kitchen already strips the attributes from all the files while cooking and puts them back according to an internal list so no matter how you set them it won't make a difference and that's why probably it's just best to leave the files with no attributes. Having no attributes set means not only faster cooking but also that you won't have to enable the "view hidden/system files" options on explorer that on the recent windows version can become very annoying.

Try the new one to see if anything improves.

The answer is written in the FAQ post, you have to use implantxip if you want ROMs as big as the original kitchen.

I have packages conditions supported in the new building engine that currently is not enabled since I don't have XIP relocation ready yet but if you're sure that those subfolders work with platformrebuilder I can try copying them because right now any subfolder that is not the current LCID is skipped.
[Windows Mobile] wbrown5:

please to see

[Windows Mobile] NilsP:
I noticed a few people posted that it does does appear that the provxml is processed properly in 1.31 but I did not see a fix or workaround reported.

I see a similar problem where none of my network settings are getting processed which are in my personal provxml which is in my very last EXT. i910 by the way.

It did work fine in 1.25 and 1.29. I jumped over 1.30 so I am not sure it was OK in it.

Is there a fix?

Question:

Is there any way to turn of any of the prompts/warnings? For example the one when you start building that warns about having deselected bronze. Since it already warned me once when I deselected it in sys I don't need to see it again.

Not a big deal, just curious if there is a config settings/file or reg entries I am not seeing to control.
[Windows Mobile] 9600xt:
another thing that can be changed is that when i do a dump from an original rom the kitchen must change EXT packages app.reg properties and make it NOT hidden!
[Windows Mobile] formula84:
I had dumped a new shipped rom with the 1.31 alpha 3 and I have the same problem, I tired narrowing it down and unselected all packages works fine. Then I did just the Stock imported packages. Builds Fine with the whole imported ext pack, problem occurs when unselecting any of the default EXT's imported with the Kitchen.

I am trying the new Alpha3 v2 and will report back.

Edit: Tested still hanging when I unselect any of the Dumped EXTs. Going to try to redump using alpha 3 v2 to see if makes any difference.

Edit 2: Fresh v 1.31 alpha 3 v2 dump stock rom, did nothin else changed except unchecked BCR WWE v1.0.f091231b.01 package then build hangs.
[Windows Mobile] jjblaster3:
awesome job you did on the beta3.. i rily like the feature of splitting the initflashfiles.dat to specific app.dat packages, it makes cooking a whole lot easier..

Just wanted to ask if its possible, to also delete the lines in initflashfiles.dat which set the directory for the files..

This will prevent the creation of start icon directories which are not required for example:

;***OZIM_US***

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("IM")

this will create IM folder in start menu, so even if OZ IM is disabled, the directory will still b there..

THANKS AGAIN FOR A WONDERFUL KITCHEN WHICH KEEPS GETTING BETTER AFTER EVERY UPDATE :D:D:D
[Windows Mobile] crane23:
please to see:no aku???

why???
[Windows Mobile] kurniawan77:
I'll try this one then... things are going wacko over here(alpha3).... trying the 3.02 leo ROM.. things just don't load well... after flashing device still, Lockscreen is not showing (no slider, only unlock softkey) some shortcuts on manila settings simply don't work... o and is it normal that when porting to newer sys (23569) some packages are deselected??? even the essential ones...

o wel i will start over with a new ROM then...

o and another question... is it possible to open a ROM (.nbh) in a simulator... just for testing...
[Windows Mobile] formula84:
Where is this option?
[Windows Mobile] nosedive:
those directories are processed by platformrebuilder:

dpi_96

dpi_128

dpi_196

i did take a look at the folder platformrebuilder.. the dpi-folders are copied, but looks like prb won't process them.. i wonder what ext variable you set when running prb

you call it like EXT\* or EXT\*\* (which was done in evk)

cu,

nosedive
[Windows Mobile] jjblaster3:
its integrated in the v1.31alpha3 by default, just import a stock rom and check each ext package, you will find app.dat there with commands that should have been in the initflashfiles.dat in OEM
[Windows Mobile] Mikenif:
Any chance well get a registry search like EVK has?

its one option im missing since i made the switch to OsKitchen

and maybe the XIPtool evk has. adding those 2 would make this kitchen perfect for me:D
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Maybe. I actually don't know since I don't have a recent phone to test the kitchen with but if it was a provxml order problem it should be fixed.

I have search in my todo list but don't expect to see it anywhere soon since it requires a file list in the packages list, a well designed UI and a decent internal text editor.

The warnings cannot be disabled but if it's not an essential package I can remove the essential flag from it (or you can just delete the folder). Is there anything important inside?

The next version should finally strip all the file attributes during import since all the attributes are stored in the DSM file as well and can be reapplied properly during cooking.

Please test alpha4 and if you still have problem link the ROM file so I can try.

The start menu entries are localized differently for every language so I can't have those directory entries deleted without risking to break other entries.

AKU has been removed because it was breaking the marketplace and because it was ugly. You can create a .REG file with this to obtain the same result:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Versions]
"Aku"="Text"

Can you please give me a link of the ROM? Maybe there are some issues just with that version. Also please try alpha4 to see if anything improves since I've changed again the build process.

If you build from one build to another only the packages in common between the two builds are kept selected.

No because the phone drivers in the ROM would cause issues with the boot in the wm emulator.

I have EXT_Patterns set to "EXT\*" because the EXT folders are flattened to only one level but what ervius kitchen was probably doing was adding the _skip file to the package that didn't match the resolution I don't think that platformrebuilder handles any of that. I'll try to add conditional folders for DPI filter in the next version.
[Windows Mobile] NilsP:
The folder that triggers it for me is bronze and bronzeNonEA. Both of which are essential for Titanium but I omit them when I do an M2D Only or no UI ROM.

I don't want to delete them since I use them in my Titanium builds.

Not a big deal, thanks
[Windows Mobile] NilsP:
Another curious question. Is it OK to just replace the osKitchen.exe going from say alpha3 to alpha4.

I suspect that as long as the changes were to the build and not the import and nothing else changed in resources that it is alright.
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Yes you can replace just the EXE. I fixed some bugs in the initflashfiles splitting to avoid it from switching off on some ROMs where there are invalid lines but if the app.dat files have been created there is no other improvement if you re-import.
[Windows Mobile] airxtreme:
Since I still can't finish the platformrebuilder replacement because Da_G's computers are all K.O I set up a poll to vote for the next kitchen feature here. happy voting :)
[Windows Mobile] nosedive:
now - take a guess.. it could be implemented very easy but i can't remake the call of prb you do..

i ran a bat from evk with platformrebuilder where ext is specified like ext\* ... platformrebuilder processed all my dpi-folders .. maybe something we didn't know before.. but you can try yourself, i attached the bat in the zip file

also the build log is attached.. below line 292 are some warnings when prb replaces the standard files :) :)

maybe you could take a look..

so what's different in the kitchen to the execution of prb in my bat file?

cu,
