hi Kevin,

well i know what you spent your Sunday doing?!!!

This is fantastic & amazing that suddenly (or so it seems) we're able to make the changes we want to the orange ROM

You've taken this way further than me - i just used the non-orange-boot-screen tsw* & then manually debranded as per your earlier post

may i ask about the benefits of the ROM who've created with various items pre-removed?

If i understand correctly (ie my question is - do i understand correctly?!)

what you've set to achieve

By pre-removing various images & cab files that are considered spurious to the clean build, you've made a ROM that uses less disk space than the standard image

BUT this doesn't free up any additional RAM memory, just file space?

what's happened

you've succeeded... but maybe a little to much as various menu items are missing....?

.....and the (hated) orange boot screen has returned...?

And this happened because the "pre-uninstalled" ROM was based on the orange UK varient?

Cheers & thanks yet again...

*a question now to show how truly stupid i am (open to anyone who wants to tell me :))

When i did this:

tgtool -sp UK.tsw UK.nb0

tgtool -mp UK.nb0 ITA.tsw TG01WP_00.tsw

I thought i was replacing the IT langauge on the Italian ROM with English - then i would have ended up with the Italian ROM in the eng langauge (no orange branding at all + spb shell)

but instead (as you know) i have the UK ROM with the Italian boot screen.

So what did the cmd prompts create? Overwriting the IT boot screen to the UK ROM?

I'm only curious, i'm 110% completely satisfied & floating on a cloud of non-orangeness with what has transpired ROM wise this wknd :)

[you can see why i wait for you cooks & general brainy types to come up with the new stuff !!!!]

Thanks all

Adam

Just thought i'd update where I am.

arag0n85's first initflashfiles.dat flashes fine with no problems.

His second, flashed OK, but it doesn't seem to run the initial setup, so no screen calibration, date/time and nothing in the Start menu.

I then tried removing a lot of stuff from the dump folder but leaving the original initflashfiles.dat untouched. I removed about 50MB, all flashed and working fine.

So I would say it looks like removing something from the initflashfiles.dat stops the initial setup.
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
well, maybe a bootable orange rom isn't as bad. You can talk to your operator for a replacement, you just need to say that the phone stopped booting if flash procedure goes wrong. But if you want it out, you will have it.
[TG01 ROM Development] adzman808:
you're (all) too modest

giant baby steps or colossal strides :)

I mean fundamentally the hard part has been conquered.

We've taken a ROM from toshiba, fuct about with it

put it back on the phone

the changes (however low key or early days these changes may be) have worked & the phone boots up perfectly operational

this wasn't considered possible a matter of days ago & it really is only a few weeks since we all had to answer a poll to get official space on XDA...

......now look at you guys go :) :)
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
I know why it happened. I've debranded so much :P

The creation of start menu its at the operator part of the rom. I wason rush yesterday and I didn't saw it.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ukon:
first of all, it is called Spotify :P

and yes it does exist for the android platform ;)

And I would say that it works better than the one for the iPhone. I can't really say anything about the symbian version, since I have never had a symbian phone. And probably will never have, since I do not like that OS....
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] krister461:
So, here's my list:

Advanced Task Killer

Battery Time Lite

Spotify - Rocks

Reader widget - Excellent for my google reader-feeds

TV Guide - Norwegian tv guide

Zedge - wallpapers and ring tones

bloo - facebook application that actually gives you notifications on useful things like comments on posts. The official android facebook app cannot do this.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
I've got a new one to add:

NewsRoom

A wonderful take on the typical RSS reader, this app allows access to RSS feeds as preview pages, which you can flip through and select for full articles. Much more complete and interactive than a typical text-list layout of most RSS readers.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] skydirt:
Weather Widget ( now called Weather & Toggle)- HTC Clock/weather widget and system toggle widgets. Is also skinable.

Weather Widget Weather addon- Adds a weather forcast when you tap on the weathr icon on the clock.

Handcent- Best SMS app

Astro- Awesome File explorer AND taskkiller ( many don't know that it has a great task killer included)

FlashLightApp- A one button on/off widget to turn our camra light on or off.

GPRS Monitor- Monitors data usage

Pure Grid Calander- Mimics the HTC calander widget

Sportstap- Best sports updates, scores, news, even notifications.

OperaMini5- Web Browser

Aldiko- Ebook reader

WiFinder- WiFi finder

HelixLauncher- A home replacment option that offers customixable Home options. have up to 7 screens, adds 4 "buttons" to the app drawer slider on the home screen, double tap home screen to see min versions of all other screens. This is the best Home option out there.

HTC_IME-hi keryboard- My favorite Keyboard by far.

Swype- Yes, I'm jumping on the Swype bandwagon and trying it out. Takes a bit to get used to but is a very smart keyboard for predctions. Rarley gets my input wrong and is faser then tapping. I'm still on the fence about using it full time as my text input.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Phantasm4489:
I'm now adding swype too.... its possibly the cleverest and definitely most innovative app ive seen on a phone in some time.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
I started off with SlideIT and have been using Swype for a few days now..

It's definitely a much nicer looking UI... but I reckon that SlideIT is actually more acurate, quicker and easier to manage??....
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Skwlkr:
SyncMyPix - a pretty good app to add the picture from your facebookcontacts to your phone contacts!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
I found that weather and toggle seemed to be sucking juice out of my battery... what's your battery life like?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Balur:
You most likely have the app checking for weather updates too often, set it to something like 6 hours (how quick does weather really change).
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zodiac.thr:

My Top Pics

One thats made my launcher bar is Gesture Search. This is a great way to look up contacts, apps, and tunes with a few swipes of a finger. Its the closest thing to the search page on the iFail.

MP3 download: Simple music download app. Not perfect, and not a massive database. But i generally find what I am looking for.

Music Shortcut: Allows access to the default music app.

SayMyName: Announces the name of callers and text message senders, required TTS. It'll prompt to download and install.

Tunewiki: Music app, with lyrics and access to shoutcast/last.fm stations.

XPERIA flashlight: Specific to the X10, also gives a widget for easy on/off switching.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] fm1776:
- Google Maps (updated version): It rocks!

- Facebook: Though it does not show all updates still a great way to stay connected with firends and family

- Astro: easy to manage and locate files

- Adobe Flash player 10.1: Though this is due out next month, you know this will rock!!

- Aura DVD Ripper: (4PC)This is best DVD Ripper for the X10 on the market. I love it, easy to use. Fits the X10 screen like a glove. Customer service is a perfect 10

- AnyDVD: (4PC) If you like to copy films or TV series that you own to your X10 this is a must have.

- BlackBook: It has some bugs but once those are worked out, this is what any one looking for privacy will want to have.

- Office Suit: (full version) Always have a resume (cv) on hand, or other important files. Be able to make edits on the fly at anytime.

- Kitchen Timer: If you love to cook this handy app can keep you on time with multiple timers in one screen

- The Weather Channel: Nice little app, very handy if you travel often

I am still looking for great versions of:

- Business card reader

- Bio Security

- Phone tracker / Recovery

- Data back up

- Public transportation tracker (see where buses and trains are in real time) (world wide, not just in certain cities)

- Speech to Text

- I would also like to see an app or google add a function where you can select names from your contacts to be able to locate you real time on google maps (password protected)

And, maybe a cool game or two.

I installed the Weather & Toggle widget and my x10i told me that i was running out of space! lol.. It somehow took up 750MB of space! That cant be right, am i doing something wrong as the Widget is by far the best!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sadams39:
I find that the apps that I can't live without on my Android are;

ChompSMS

ES File Explorer Pro

Advanced Task Killer

Dictionary (from Market)

Google Maps (upgraded)

Track ID

Facebook Sync

Wisepilot GPS

Zedge

Where's My Droid

Tricorder (I wouldn't really die without it, it's just REALLY handy)

Smart Keyboard Pro

Barcode Scanner and;

FxCamera

They are all used almost every time I pick up my x10a and I can't see myself ever not needing them. The ONLY thing that I could say foul about the Android system and specifically the Market itself is that there's too many replications out there, too many apps that do the EXACT same thing... Really annoying sometimes...

But other than that - everything I've heard about the Android OS and the workings of the phone has been right on, nothing less than AWESOME. I only wish that Sony release a firmware update to fix my 6hr battery life...

Bring on Q4 2010 for Android 2.1 (although I might just wait until Q1 2011 for Android 2.6 - what do you think?

i guess i should have added written that not all apps would be available.. sorry my bad!

i think the repository is repo.blackdroid.net.. would check but debranding phone as we speak (wish me luck)

erm.. you can always use the site www.blackdroid.net aswell.. probably be easier to find specific apps.. good luck in finding them!

p.s - their forum can be useful too..

hope it helps!

Hi guys,

Lately I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM on HTC-based Android devices. It allows you to do basic things such as rooting a shipped ROM, adding apps2sd, modifying the task killer memory threshold, etc.

The appropriate settings are now in place to make it work for the Tattoo.

Here is the link to the kitchen:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

Before flashing any ROM from the kitchen, please make a Nandroid backup first of your existing ROM!

Thank you, and enjoy!
[Click Android Development] JoOoSs:
oh dsi! Great news for us, thank you for all your works!

I'm downloading :)
[Click Android Development] suoko:
does it work with 2.1 update.zip too ?
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
If it is a Tattoo ROM, then yes. If not, then it will still boot if you port it, but some things may not work (unless you know how to fix the drivers and resolutions).
[Click Android Development] svprm:
Thanks man

Downloading....

Nice to see you again.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
thanks buddy... keep up the good work.

do you know how to change baseband firmware ? i mean removing one baseband firmware of the same device to another version of the same device...

i am dying to know about it, please be kind enough to share your knowledge on this bro...:(
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
What's a baseband firmware? -- Do you mean the radio? Sorry, I don't know.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
when we get the information about the phone, we have baseband version

its below firmware version..... it goes something like 13.29.55.13G_3.35........

what is radio ???
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
Radio.. baseband.. pretty much the same thing.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
ok, fine. i didnt know that. thanks. as mr.paul was saying it can be possible to change that radio on tattoo. but he asked us to wait till his next release of ROM... so i thought is there anyone who also know how to do it. so that we can have a little more information about that when we r ready to flash it....

i wanna know about the radio, how to change it & what r its advantages & disadvantages please....
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
I don't have a Tattoo and you are asking in the wrong thread.. let's move on ;)
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
ok sorry mate.... but u have nexus now right ??? have u changed the baseband of ur nexus or have u thought about changing it or u have any idea how to change it buddy ??? is it possible atleast to change radio on any device ??? this would be the last question for u about this topic. kindly answer for this please.... later i wont ask u....

coming to the topic, i wanna be tester too... keep the coocked ROM coming...;)
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
I don't have any cooked ROMs coming - this is a Kitchen. :rolleyes:

No I have no need to change my radio.... just do a search.. you flash radios just like any update.zip.....

Going back on topic, if any of you are successful in building and flashing a Tattoo ROM - especially one with root enabled - please let us know. :)
[Click Android Development] JoOoSs:
I've built a ROM with root from a stock ROM (extract system/boot.img from windows temp), and my tattoo stucks at "TATTOO"'s screen.

What's wrong dsi ?
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
Hmm there must be a problem with the kernel base address used when re-packing the kernel. I used 0x2E000000, maybe I am wrong? This value is set in the build_boot_img file.

Could you try 0x19200000 or 0x10000000? Thanks!
[Click Android Development] JoOoSs:
I don't know ^^'

How can i help you to make it work ?

Maybe we can ask to tattoo's devs :/

[Click Android Development] JoOoSs:
I'm testing with 0x2E00000, no problem :)

EDIT = My tattoo is rebooting... he stucks -_-

I modified build_boot_img's file, at bahamas line, i re-built the ROM, it's not working :/
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
Are you using Ubuntu? What are the exact steps you did to cook?

Also, did you use the system.img from the same stock ROM as the boot.img?

By the way, I have re-uploaded the 0.29 version so that the base address is now 0x02E00000.
[Click Android Development] JoOoSs:
I'm on W7(Host) with Ubuntu 9.04(Guest), i downloaded the RUU.exe of the stock ROM from HTC, opened it, extract the boot.img & system.img and copied it to kitchen folder on my ubuntu, i built the ROM and flashed it.

Yes they are from the same stock ROM.

I will re-download your kitchen tomorrow and give you feedback.
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
Thanks man. I'm just surprised it doesn't work. It should have worked with the correct kernel base address. :confused:
[Click Android Development] Coburn64:
Radio is just the firmware the phone uses to encode and transmit data, GSM calls and related stuff. Nothing special, flashing a dodgy image to the radio chip will brick your Tattoo's phone capabilities unless you flash back to an RUU ROM.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
u mean to say, its not possible to change from one baseband to another even though its of same model ???

then why paul said that its possible ??? how can the HTC people do the same thing what i am asking for & what u r saying its going to brick my phone ???

surely there must be some way or the other to do it... i have seen people changing the (more precisely downgrading the) baseband version of the iphone... i am not saying that htc & iphone r same & it might be entirely a different platform altogether... but still i have a ray of hope that i will find success in doing that...

anyway thanks for ur reply coburn... i dont want to burn ur calories in thinking about answering my noob question.... carry on with ur valuable work... nice to see u replying to my queries... :cool:
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
Guys please stay on topic, no need to hijack the thread. Manuvaidya - please start a new thread if you want answers about the radio.
[Click Android Development] dsixda:
Oh BTW, make sure you refresh the boot.img with the original one, because if you used the script with the bad address, it's already been corrupted. So with the fixed address you must restore the boot.img back to the good one before building.
[Click Android Development] JoOoSs:
Oh my bad -_-

It's now booting, i'm testing if i have root access.

Yes it's nice, juste have to write "SU" and i have root on adb, the root's applications seem to have root access!

Nice work dsi :D

EDIT = There is the same problem of the modaco ROM, we don't have RW access on /system...

And the command "reboot" isn't understanding by the phone.
