It rocks! Thank you!

(If you want to have descriptions to the different package containers in the kitchen, just place a "Package Informations.xml" in the corresponding folder)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Cheers, Didn't know how to do that! I simply commented on the first package instead. Could you give me an example of the xml layout? That would be appreciated?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
One of the next things I am hoping to work on for the next release is an easy way to customise start menu Icons.

So far I know that the most of the Icons are held in the

osKitchen\Sources\Devices\HTC Leo\OEM Packages\HTC Leo Packages\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat file. I have used a ";" to comment out the entries I do not want but when I flash the rom it will go through the configuration and then freeze when it tries to load sense.

Does anybody have a good way that we could use to rearrange the folders and files in the start menu?

I was thinking of using an app.dat file using the Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Folder Name") comands, but dont know what comand to use to delete a file/folder!

I think this would be a really usefull addition to the kitchen what do you guys think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foxone:
No probs :)

Package Informations.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PersistentPackageInformations xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Description="My description goes here" />
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foxone:
That would be really sweet..

Here's a tutorial that may be useful, http://www.mobileunderground.info/showthread.php?t=649

However I've not looked closer at it yet.. (It's on my todo-list, hehe).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Same here! I saw a similar thread on the chef forum here! May have been a copy :) But it doesn't explain how to delete an icon / folder! Idealy I want to set another yes you heard me!! subfolder in the kitchen called Start Menu Icons, listing all the avalable icons and you simply click on the ones you want to appear in the start menu. Also you wold be able to then go into the folder of the Icon and change the directory simply by editing the app.dat file, allowing users the opertunity to fully customise the rom.

The only problem is I dont know how to remove all the entries from the initialflashfiles.dat. If I could do that so it did not create any icons the rest would be easy! The problem is that any time I edit the file and use a ";" to ignore the shortcut the rom does not load properly!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foxone:
Hmm, strange.. the ";" should work..

Did you remember to zero out the two first bytes of initflashfiles.dat when done editing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
No how do I do that? I am new to the initialflashfiles.dat! I have mainly done registery stuff untill now :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foxone:
Ah, then this will do it!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2230497&postcount=14

Extract ZIP

Run initflashfilesEditor.bat

Copy initialflashfiles.dat to the directory OriginalInitFlashFilesDAT

Press any key to continue..

File is converted..

Press any key..

..and file opens in your default txt editor

Make your changes

Save file

Close

Press any key

HEX editor opens, mark first "square" line 0 and enter value 00

Second square is marked, enter value 00

Save and close

Press any key..

Done! The new file is in NewInitFlashFilesDAT
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Ran through and commented out all the start menu lines. I then changed the regeditor and changed the first line to 00 it was FF I think. The problem sis when the phone first starts up and goes through the first boot procedure it then crashes at the end. Eventually it wil go into the start menu and all the icons are gone. The problem is I cant get over the crash issue at first boot!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foxone:
I've attached my initflashfiles as txt..

And a pic of which two bytes you should zero out..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Ah my bad I edited the first square and forgot the second, would help if I read the instructions properly. Will try later and report back!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Ok so I ran through and commented out all the startmenu rows, then saved the file, then 00 out he first two boxes but it simply corrupts the dat file. Have a look at the attached!

View attachment initflashfiles.txt

EDIT: OK got where I was going wrong. Instead of replacing FF and EE with 00 00 I simply deleted FF and EE and it fixed the issue. Will try again now and see what happens exciting :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Guys new version available! Now you can edit the start menu simply by selecting the icons you want to appear in your build!

Credit goes to foxone for helping me edit the initialflashfiles.dat properly!

Hello,

I have finally successfully translated the Kitchen v3.0 from GhostX :D

I will upload later on my kitchen and ask Ghost to update the first post.

Please find enclosed the build logs for each WM branch.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
New French version updated! I may be able to use NinoFR's version and update it myself to version 4.0. Please test as NinoFR does not use WM any more!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NinoFR:
Hello,

True, I have not tested the produced ROM since I have switched to NAND Android...

Nevertheless, let me know if you are facing any issue with French Kitchen.

I will do my best to fix it.

Kind regards,

And what is that program, I do not like .... somehow had remained free

radio....Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
That internal memory seems to be about right for a 512mb HD2. What program are you refering to?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Office short cuts now working! I need to sort some of the other start menu icons to tidy up the rest of the start menu!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Is anybody else having similar issues. It must be the base rom 3.14 that is causing the problem but I am not sure what is eating up so much space.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noofny:
So I'm finally converted to a Mac fan boy....happy days!

Wondering though - in order to keep flashing my HSPL cracked Leo, can I do it under a virtual install of Windows (using something like VirtualBox or VMware)...or is this ludicrous and you think it should only be done on a dedicated physical Windows machine?

I'l assuming there's absolutely no way to flash these things directly from Mac OS-X ?

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
not as far as i know. I know there is an htc flashing program for linux, and that might work in macos x (as i know you can install linux programs in mac os if you set it up right) but last time i tried, htc flasher wouldnt work with the htc hd2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
your best bet (as far as reading on here has mentioned in the past) would probably be using bootcamp or similar to run a dual boot setup.

certainly that's the only way hspl works, , flashing "may" work in a virtual box, though i think when the phone jumps to bootloader it may be a problem.

I want to cook a rom for my mytouch 1.2 from the T-Mobile stock rom. I have the latest kitchen and stock T-Mobile rom and all. I cooked one up and it booted but because my sim card isn't active, or maybe it's because of a problem with phone, it wouldn't let me start the activation part. How can I remove the sim card check?

Maybe Android prevents us sending anything except standard SMSes?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 88EVGAFTW:
Ok, so the last 3 phones I have had, I just hooked up and opened windows media player, dragged over a playlist and loaded to the phone. Now with the Captivate, I load a playlist from windows media player but the phone doesnt see the playlist, I now have to browse music by Albums or Artist. :confused: This is really annoying when some playlists have various artists, it makes a bunch of new playlists for each artist :mad: Is there a way around this, or a better music player. I have about 4K songs on the songs, a few hundred are all seperated now instead of being in their respective playlists. Im not gonna sit there and create playlists :confused:

I see a Playlists folder with the lists I loaded frmo windows media player, but I cant access these Playlists through the stock app :confused:

Sorry about the wrong section, but yea I tried the stock music player on my Captivate. Didn't recognize the playlists.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
This is a known issue - many people are using alternate music players that do recognize playlists. The Captivate seems to store its "phone created" playlists in a DB somewhere.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 88EVGAFTW:
What else do you recommend other than double twist.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Media Monkey is a great PC solution - I like it much much much better then Doubletwist - but you need a player that supports M3U playlists - most music players do.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] leginag:
What I've done is import my contacts into my Gmail account. Thus, whenever I set up a new build and sync with my google account, the contacts show up too.

Also, once I set their facebook association, it automatically updates with their photos and it remembers it between builds.

Hope that helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Incarniac:
There are a couple of ways I can think of to transfer/sync your contacts from Windows Mobile to Google Contacts:

1. Google Sync: Use Google Sync on Windows Mobile to sync your contacts to your Google account. Once you've done this you should be good to go and just log in to your Google account in Android, and contacts should be pulled down on first sync and kept up to date on subsequent syncs.

2. Local export and Google Contacts import: This is what I did. I used PIMBackup to back up my contacts to non-binary format (an option during the backup process). The PIMBackup file is simply a ZIP file, so I extracted the contacts.csc file from this. This is simply a CSV file that can be imported into Google Contacts.

I tried Google Sync first, but wasn't happy with the contacts created, and I realised my contacts were in need of a little updating and cleaning up. I edited the CSV first to clean it up (using OpenOffice Calc, but there are many tools that can be used).

When you import into Google Contacts, it's worth adding the imported contacts to a new (even if temporary) group. This makes it easier to list all the ones just imported and delete them if you're not happy with your import, allowing to try again without too much hassle.
