Req. for hytin Soft Buttons without the Bar

Requesting the hytin buttons for the Softkeys without the surrounding Black Bar. In other words black hytin buttons and transparent surrounding bar.

Thank you,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
Is there anyway to use these soft keys with the colored softbars. I installed the bar in red but when i install your keys(which look great by the way) it only gives me the top task bar in red. If you need a screenshot let me know
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
i think i understand...but can you point to what file you are installing and give a screen shot?

thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
I would like to put the buttons with the red showing....also with the permission of all creators what are the chances of getting a kawasaki symbol put in between the red soft key where i circled in pic 2? If so I'll post the symbol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
1- use total commander/ resco and look at:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\SoftKeyBar\SoftKeyBa rThemeImage

-- find what image this points to (likely: HTCblack_softkeybar.png in your \windows folder). i don't know what the cab is doing (changing a graphic or editing the end point of the registry.)

2- copy that image to your cpu

3- open it in a graphics editing program

4- layer on my softkey

5- replace into \windows

or if you get the graphic and don't know how to layer, i can do it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
Great but u lost me at the 1st word. Not very phone literate. Just know how to put the cab file in my phone, open it and bam the mod is on my phone. No biggie i guess. :( Thanks tho

I do not have this one which I mark on foto

I think it should be connected with battery cover and mainboard.

That's where you stick the tabs of the battery cover.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
If I want to customize a ROM that I have in update.zip format, do I just manually modify the contects of the update.zip and change the update-script and build.prop files or should I be doing this another way through an IDE or something?

If so, can someone please link me to where I might get some relevent info?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
dsixda's kitchen will let you pretty much cook and modify any ROM.

I wouldn't use the root function on there, but if you look at the No Idea Blog link on the first page of that thread it tells you how to add root permissions if your ROM doesn't already have them (it's really easy).

Also, if you're on Windows and don't like the fact that you can't use the kitchen to its full potential, you can download a copy of Ubuntu Linux and VirtualBox (both free) and run Ubuntu as a virtual machine within Windows. Alternatively you can try WUBI as pointed out by kendong2 here

Using the kitchen will ensure that your customised ROM is signed - Amon RA requires signed update.zips, I think there was something called Clockwork Recovery which doesn't need the package to be signed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Thanks, I'v already managed to add root myself a few times to various ROMs so i don't think that'll be an issue.

Does the ROM need to be re-signed on each modification? Which is why I wouldnt be able to edit it manually?

Thanks again.

EDIT: I have no problem running linux, infact I have Ubuntu on my laptop and will install Fedora 12 on my desktop now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
yes resign after every update. just unpack, modify, repack and resign. not that complicated if you get yourself some handy scripts (write them or use dsixdas kitchen).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
So for my working folder I extract (for example) lox's clean ROM update.zip?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
As far as I know yeah (unless you're using that other recovery image I mentioned). It's pretty easy with the kitchen - press 9 and it cooks the ROM. Takes about 2-3 minutes for each bake - its flashing the ROM that takes ages.

You could sign manually, I'm sure I found a tutorial on how to do that when I was modifying some apps.

It works fine on OSX too. If you read the first post, he does say some things won't work on Windows. Like I said, you could use VirtualBox or WUBU which will save you the hassle of extra hardrives, partitions, dual-booting and all that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Q

Ok, got the kitchen open under linux now, first question is this, the ROM i'm using doesn't have a system.img, it has a folder "system" so it naturally won't let me continue in the kitchen without it, how do I solve this problem?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
To customise an existing ROM, extracts all its contents.

In the kitchen make a folder starting with "WORKING_" the underscore can be followed by any name of your choice e.g. WORKING_ALIASNEOROM

Inside that folder paste the boot.img, system, META-INF and data (if its there) folders from the ROM you extracted.

Inside the META-INF folder delete the 3 files - just leave the com folder.

After that you should be good to go with the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Thanks a lot, really appreciate the help.

One more question, hopefully the final one, when i remove apps or add them to the relevent folder, are permissions and linking taken care of automatically where necessary?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
No problem, I was in your shoes a couple of weeks ago! Yeah, you just copy the apks - worked for me so far.

Most ROMs come with a data/app folder, but incase yours doesn't just create it next to the system, boot.img etc and then in the update-script add:

delete DATA:app
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app

before the format CACHE command.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
and make that

set_perm 1000 1000 0771 0771 DATA:app

for eclair roms...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Where can I find the syntax for this file? I like to understand the commands so I can use them properly, i get that set_perm is setting permissions and 0771 are the permissions being set, but what are the "1000 1000"?

Google wasn't my friend this time and I couldn't find a syntax.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
Have a look in here, I've not got enough Linux experience to tell you how those permissions work. I update that file by comparing ones from other ROMs and slowly got the hang of it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Cool

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks.

Just failed two flashes because of:

1) because i conned the kitchen into setting up the working folder (by putting a fake system.img) it didn't delete the symlinks so i had to do it manualy (after trying to flash then figuring out why it failed) and

2) it couldnt chmod "su" because it didn't exist, strange since i was working based on an existing ROM and didn't delete the "su" binary.

Question: How and where do I change the build name that shows up on the device to my own name?

EDIT: 3rd flash was successful but on boot it hangs at the HERO screen, logcat just says "waiting for device". Ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dsixda:
This is useful info, thanks. I might add this as an option to the kitchen in the future. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dsixda:
Someone's custom ROM may have it someplace else. My kitchen was mainly designed for new cooks making their own ROMs from the stock ROMs.

I think it's in the build.prop. Just compare the field values with what you see on your phone right now for the build name.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
That's what I don't get, the update-script isn't edited by the kitchen right? But the chmod command in the update-script was from the same ROM, so surely it's "su" binary should be in the same place the update-script looks for it, or am i missing something?

Thanks, I'v given it a go, will see what happens if/when i get a successful flash.

As for your adding that info from Ash to your kitch, I think it would be useful because I forgot the last line (setting permissions) and it just caused my ROM to hang on boot, reflashing now and hoping adding it was the fix. Will update this post once complete.

UPDATE: Still hangs on boot even with that line added. Where do I go from here in debugging since I can't get logcat?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
If you used my instructions about the WORKING folder earlier, then you don't need to use option #1 in the kitchen to setup working folder - that's only if you're working with stock images. The result of that command is a WORKING folder - which you already have by extracting the files and making that folder manually.

Happy to help! You know you've done a great job with that kitchen, and got me started with ROMs,

Yup, I built my 1.5 ROM using a stock ROM, but a 2.1 based on BeHero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
sorry i was misled about that. it is

set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app

for eclair aswell. i am confused about this myself somewhat, have you checked the android documentation?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
You only need the permission twice if its for the recursive set, because the first is the directory and the second is it's contents.... or so I believe.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Thanks

To all those interested, I have just succesfully booted my first custom ROM with all your help, Thank you all kindly for your assistance thus far.

EDIT: Ironic really, the one thing that doesn't work is SU permissions. I based this off of Lox's clean ROM which has SUperuser already built in, the su binary is there and set up correctly, and he included a Superuser.apk in the /system/app folder (it has a ninja as the icon) but the phone doesn't seem to call it to grant su permissions, if I open the application (Superuser.apk) with ASTRO it doens't give me the option to launch but instead says install (which i can't, it fails.)

Any ideas what might be wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheAshMan:
I have a hunch but it's unconfirmed because I haven't downloaded that ROM to check. Have a look at these two posts by me: post 1 and post 2 in Lox's thread and see if it helps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Thanks, again, ironic, because in my previous build that failed due to another reason, I had moved it into the /system/bin folder, and only this time moved it back to system/xbin.

Will try it now and post back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alias_neo:
Update

Ok, here's the deal:

Based on Lox's ROM I had to perform the following fixes to get things working correctly.

dmagent fix given to me by kendong2.

Replaced the Superuser.apk (Ninja Icon) in /system/app with the Superuser.apk (# icon.

moved "su" binary from xbin to bin and removed the symlink created in Lox's update-script.**

**Moving the binary alone did not fix the problem, this brings me to believe that the problem infact was not the placement of the binary but that the SUperuser.apk used was useless and didn't work (proven) and that had it been replaced the "su" binary _may_ still have worked in it's xbin location.(un-proven).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i think it has to be in /system/bin, there were other problems in (iirc) villain rom where it was placed in /system/xbin and symlinked in the first version.

anyway, /system/bin seems to be the right place, so just use it... :rolleyes:

I have my phone plugged in and all it does is charge. Nothing else. I go to Computer and it doesn't show up. I don't know wha the problem is. The only way I can get files and stuff on it is by direct download onto the phone, or by plugging my SDCard into the SDCard Reader. This is not a problem with the ROM because it happens on 3 different ROMs. Droid Explorer won't recognize it... Help? Thanks =]
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Do you get the prompt on the phone to mount the sdcard?

I had an issue where the card would mount and immediately unmount, never actually showing up on the computer. It persisted across a few different roms, then one day it just started working again. I'm just as baffled by it now as I was then.

DDMS always worked to transfer files though.. try that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OG:
No. Nothing. It just started working weirdly one day. I would Mount and go to Computer to open it and put ROMs in it, and then it would just randomly UnMount. It won't even Mount through Recovery. Amon_Ra's 1.6.2 + Pink Care Bare (for my little sister).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wbchristmas:
Anyone ever think about porting Palm's Web OS over to the Touch Pro 2?

Was just curious is all...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
People have thought of porting WebOS to various devices, but the biggest obstacle is that it's not open source. It's based on the Linux kernel, and people actually have gotten it to partially boot using HaRET, but AFAIK it's not going to be easy, if at all possible, to port WebOS if we don't have the source to work with. I personally would love a WebOS port, but I'm not holding my breath on that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
i doubt it would work right without a capacitive touch screen. the button configuration is also off. and theres no rotation so dont expect it to twist when you kick the keyboard out. i still say android is the best option for a different os.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Welcome to xda. In future please post these types of questions in the relevant thread, ie the flashing thread where it is relevant instead of starting a new thread.

As you do not give details of what you tried and what did not work, I'm not sure what the problem could be. If you read the thread, do you (or did you) have spl 1.42.0000 and did you successfully install hspl? If you don't have spl 1.42.0000 you would have seen that you need to find a rom to downgrade your spl to 1.42.0000 by flashing to an older rom.

If you have gotten hspl onto your phone, you then need to flash to a new non branded rom, you can take your pick.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xzeven:
another method for switch ROMs is here
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
the HD2 isn't branded by VF - there are no splash screens or anything. the only thing done by VF is to vendor lock the phone so anything other than a ROM from the VF site won't flash. You can get the current ROM from VF's site (1.66).

The VF HD2s can run Googlemail, everything exactly the same as the generic HD2.

settings - sound and display - notification souds - new message (click new message, not the slider box) - move the slider on vibrate to OFF - done.

The alarm will sound at whatever volume level the device is currently set to.

Want it lower - lower the volume before going to bed.

[Touch HD General] malestrom:
Hello friends.

I've encountered a nerve wrecking problem.I've been searching the forum for a solution but everything I have found does not suggest one.

My problem is that my battery percentage is not showing the correct number.I have my original stock rom 1.14.401.3 (22273)and my radio is 1.09.25.14.I have SPB Mobile Shell,S2U2 and Spike's taskbar.

What I do is fully charge my battery overnight o 100%.During the day and using it (calls,GPS) it would go down normally to about 65%.

The thing is that if I don't use it after wards it would go down normally.I then do a soft reset and I find it at 2% (!!!!!)

I charge it and it goes up to 43% at which I unplug it and do another reset.It shows 32%......I do a 3rd reset and it shows 43% again.

Apart from a hard reset can anyone give me a clue as where to begin?Could it be a faulty battery?

I try some solutions like exiting SPB Mobile Shell and S2U2 but I have the same problem even with Touch Flo...

Any help would be more than welcome.

Thank you
