I have updated post #2 with the fixes for both FM Radio and digital compass. Simply delete the package in your kitchen build and replace with this one!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] darkwin:
ok i test!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] darkwin:
the fm radio freeze again, don't find station and after freeze....

for digital compass i use my ext packages for the cab of miri but i have find the problem:

when you don't use manila digital compass don't work because it use dll for manila:

lua.dll and mode9.dll

...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Guys I noticed that if you use my wallpaper to set the main home screen wallpaper it disables the weather animations which really annoyed me!! I have now found the fixe and uploaded it to the 2nd post.

All you need to do is go into the app.reg file and change the following entry:

"Home.wallpaperMode"=dword:1

To

"Home.wallpaperMode"=dword:0

This will re-enable the animations!

I have included the fix in post 2. Simply delete the package and replace with the new one!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Did you replace the full fm radio package? Not sure why that is happening. It is the official one from 3.14 wwe rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
The only difference I have between my own rom and the kithcen I upload is I use the nk.exe from the leo wwe 1.66 rom as I do not use the 547mb memory hack. I am not sure if that may have something to do with the issue you are having! I will do futher testing!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I have found that it is the oemxipkernel that seems to be causing the problem with the FM Radio.

If I use the nk.exe from LEO WWE 1.66 rom FM radio the radio works fine, but you looks the 576mb hack.

If I use the nk.exe from LEO WWE 3.14 rom you get 576mb hack and working fm radio but there seems to be problems with it reporting internal memory correctly.

If I use the nk.exe from 2.10 or 2.13 tmous roms, you get memory hack but then fm radio freezes

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Possible fix found!! I have downlaoded RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0 and used it as my base, makiing the rom tmous compatable.

I then added the 3 connection setup packages from my existing rom and it seems to have worked! I will continue to do futher testing but, so far I can make phone calls, get data and get FM Radio to work and it is also reporting the free space correctly.

I will have to start again from scratch and clean up the rom (a lot!) as there is a lot of bloatware in it!

That will be tomorrows task though as it is bed time :)

So hopefully this should fix all outstanding issues, fully compatable EURO and TMOUS rom!!

In regards to the issue with compass not working with out manilla I dont think that can be fixed, it seems to be manila dependant.

So to sum up, this is going to be the next major release completly new base and the kitchen rebuilt built from scratch. Give me a bit of time to work on it and I should have a test version for the beta team to play with by the end of the week!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Kitchen build 8.0.0 completed. I am currently uploading and releasing to the beta team for testing later today!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
Thankyou Chef!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] christophe52:
Hi ghost great work i do have a small issue. I noticed you have listed under HTC Leo Packages Project default A which has alternative icons for the folders in the start menu which when i build a rom they do not appear do you have any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Not sure that is part of htc's rom. You could define them manually as part of the build. EG: if you wanted to change facebook icon go into 07 Start Menu Icons, open the facebook folder and edit the app.reg and add the following entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\facebook.lnk]

"Icon"="\\windows\\Start_Icon_HTC_facebook.png"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] darkwin:
good work !

fm radio work in my older rom and it's a tmous!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I have now fixed the problem. My issue was I was trying to mix a tmous and euro rom together. I have now created a brand new kitchen from scratch using a tmous rom as a base.

This is currently with the beta testing team for test purposes and should be ready in the next couple of days!

Oh and when you were testing the compass was it with sense disabled or was it removed all together? When I tried it with sense disabled on my new rom it worked!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AndrewSh:
Compass won't work without Manila. It works with Manila disabled. But it will never work without manila cooked in.

At least compass needs mode9.dll and lua.dll included to IMGFS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Version 8.0 is due to be released tomorrow or Sunday! I am now just waiting for the ok from the beta testing team!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Major new version released!

Major new build started again from scratch. Please test and let me know of any issues!

I have spent a lot of hours on this so please let me know what you think!

Change log

Version 8.0.0

New kitchen built from scratch!

New base used. I have now used base rom RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0 rather than trying to merge different bases together.

FM Radio fixed!

Weather animations on home screen Fixed!

Sense 2021, now you can see the operator carrier at the top of the screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] darkwin:
great!

i test!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] darkwin:
ok the fm radio work now!!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Good, it drove me up the wall trying to fix that! Resulted in me starting again from scratch with a new base. I am pleased it is working on a tmous hd2. I have no way of testing.

I would't mind having a tmous user as part of my beta testing team. Would you be interested?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] awadakrm:
Hi chef

Can you plz add MSVC (Microsoft Voice Command) to your kitchen?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Will do, it is very easy to add yourself. All you have to do is download the cab file and follow the instructions on post #3 to import it into the kitchen build!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] The Modifier:
kitchen is not working?

Hi GhostXSeries, i just tried your kitchen with the included GhostXSeries 6.5.kxml.

i did not apply any changes, started building and encountered this error:

[09:15:14] Cleaning Windows Mobile Kernel Package...

[09:15:14] Applying Advanced Tweaks...

[09:15:14] Running Platformrebuilder...

[09:16:11] Applying Add2 Files Changes...

[09:21:27] The ROM generation for the locale "[0409] English (United States)" was halted due to errors

[09:21:27] The ROM generation process wasn't completed due to errors.

now my questions:

1. which HSPL version shall i use (512MB euro HD2)?

2. which radio version shall i use?

3. what is the "RecMod" column for?

4. i would like to have maximum program memory - how can i deselect e.g. MP3 Trimmer (not just deselect the icon in the start menue)?

ok, enough for now - thanks for your help and for your efforts in building this kitchen!

Regards, the Modifier
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] darkwin:
why not...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I have used the pre configured builds both 6.5 and 6.5.5 and tehy compiled ok. What version of windows are you using? to answer your other questions:

1 208 HSPL is recomended

2 different for each person but either 2.12 2.14 or 2.15 is recommeded.

3 dont need to worry about recmod. I never use it!

4 if you go to the packages foler and 01 HTC leo packages and deselect from there that removes the full program.

I thought you were a tmous user.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I have noticed some issues with the bottom buttons not working correctly in 6.5.3. I will re-do the bottom buttons and try and resolve the issue!

It looks as if the lock button is not displaying correctly!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Guys new rom being uploaded now. Will release tomorrow running out of time today :( Updates include:

New os 6.5.3 - 23153 - new and faster than 29022

Fixed bottom buttons on 6.5.3

SDKCerts added

New 23153 tweaks added. Got rid of gwes.exe as it caused issues. New driver made by ultrashot. If you use driver in your rom please credit him for release!

Other minor tweaks.

New version 8.5.0
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Guys new release available!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
I'm using the latest kitchen version and I keep getting black blocks around the scroll bars. I've tried both Sense versions (2018 and 2021) and I've run a task 29 both times. Do you know what could be causing this?

I've had this problem before here but it was fixed with a reflash which doesn't seem to be working now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Try it with os 21913 it might be something to do with the replacement I have used for gwes.exe
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
21913 has the same problem :s

Do you still have the link to the previous kitchen version?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
No I dont But I can upload in a few days as I am starting a week of nights tonight and Dont have access to multiupload in work :( I think it must be something to do with your device I am not having the same issues in either rom!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
I think I've found the problem. I had "Compress PNG Images (Experimental)" enabled under the Advanced Tweaks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Yes that could be it! I tend not to use that. It slows down the process during build a lot!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I am looking for beta testers who have a tmous device. Is anybody interested in becomming a member of my beta testing team?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vacys:
hello

You work is great... i use it and i like it...

sorry fro my english.

I want ask same

1. OS is 23193 or 23153?

2. How I can make transparante taskbar?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
1. OS is 23153 (or 21913)

2. I don't know how to change the taskbar to a transparent one but I'm sure there most be a taskbar mod on the XDA forums somewhere. Then you can import the cab so it's intalled on first boot. I've done the same with a taskbar that lets me have a battery percentage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vacys:
1. But GhostXSeries write:

Kitchen Details WWE

RAM: 576

OSKitchen Zero: 1.33.5

Base Image: Tweaked RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.0 completly new base!

New OS 6.5.3

23153

Fixed bottom buttons on 6.5.3

......

?????????

2.I was searching the forum to do this, but I have not found anything concrete. Home it can be done with the skin. But the Start Menu has managed to go further, because it is already slightly translucent.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I would like to know this as well. It is to do with manila as the os has transparent top and bottom bars if you look at the start menu. There is HD wall has an option but it is untidy. I use 21913 and would like the top bar transparent as well.

I'll see if I can find out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Skyguar:
It is very simple with the Cookie home tab. I use 1.8.5 and you can make transparent taskbar only, or softbar... whatever you like..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I prefer not to use CHT. I would like a simple manila mod insted!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vacys:
and how you did it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
Top transparent taskbar or bottombar is always a fake transparency. It is done with same wallpaper. Co0kie Home Tab just do this fake transparency aswell but in automatically way.

Look HTCblack_taskbar.png at operator Pkg files folder

then also see HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\SoftKeyBar\SoftKeyBarThemeImage and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Taskbar\TaskBarThemeImage

In these registry lines are stored the names of the png files used as taskbar and softkeybar (bottombar). What CHT does is give a value to these registry lines (taskbar = wallbar1.png) then create wallbar1.png from the wallpaper (usually 36px high) to looks like transparency.

in CHT is done automatically, just go to menu>set wallpaper>skin taskbar or softkeybar, and select same wallpaper as selected for home tab.

If do not want use CHT just edit the file HTCblack_taskbar.png accordingly
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Thanks,

Now I am just trying to get 4 rows of quick links on sense 2018! I was able to find some but I found an issue, when I tap the clock to change the location it does not work :( If I could find a working version, I would have the perfect home screen! Oh I even made my own android HD style lock screen as well :)

Edit:

Tried editing the file and replaced it with my background screen. It simply comes up with a grey bar along the top and does not show the image correctly.

Edit 2: Doh it would help if I name the file correctly :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Been working on sense 2021 and fixed the issue with it not working with 3rd party apps. I can now restart sense using End key! I have fixed multiple reg keys to support HTC Sense instead of Sense.

Also working on os 23153 to fix issues with dialer crashing and make it more stable. There should be a new release by Monday or Tueday!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Guys, new version released!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
:eek:

I was almost finished with the 8.5 and report a few bugs, and here we go... a new version comes up. :)

THANKS GhostX ! Much appreciated.

And sorry guys for being quite for so long. I've been busy lately with work and could not actively participate in testing the latest builds. However I always keep an eye of what's going on here and try to keep up with the development.

I've noticed that if I don't restart the phone several days, my beloved OS dated April 2011 would some time hang in-spite of having only the basic programs open. I've decided to move to 8.5 and there was some issues too, but most of them are of cosmetic character.

Would someone help me identify how the links for MS Office, Marketplace, Windows Messenger are created? I am trying to customize the Start Menu, however these always appear in the root of the menu no matter what I indicate in the "07 Start Menu Icons" settings.

Also, how can I customize my E-Mail Settings, so I don't have to enter them each time after a OS flash?

And, I have just downloaded the 9.0.0 and I see that the Wi-Fi Router is also missing as in 8.5.0 (package CM Internet Sharing). Is there a reason why this package has been removed?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
Do you know which version of Sense I'd need to use to get my contacts synced with facebook and use their profile pictures on my phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Thanks Poyensa. It is good to know. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
You can use both. I currently sync with both sense 2018 and 2021!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
With the newest version, when I selected the Device Model (HTC Leo) this error popped up.

It's something to do with the following part of the code:

xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"Use this to remove operator text" />

Is it something to do with the speech quotes?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Yes there seems to be an error in the file! If you change it to:

xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Description="Use this to remove operator text" />

That will sort the issue!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
Are you able to download facebook contact pictures? My facebook contacts sync (download birthdays, status', etc) but don't download the pictures.

See this picture (I can't upload direcly to xda for some reason)

The yellow blocks are covering status updates which show that they're being synced

Thanks for all your help GhostXSeries. I realise most of my errors are pretty pointless as they're mostly self created.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Could depend on the speed of your connection. You could try going into one of the contacts, select the picture and try downloading it manually. I use PPCPimBackup, I restore the contacts first then go into settings and connect to facebook.

I've worked out that if you go to settings first set up connecion to facebook then try to restore contacts it doesn't work properly.

What are you using to manage your contacts?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
On a flash I use PPCPimbackup with XDA_UC but I log into facebook when it asks for your social network details on first boot. I'll try it the way you said and report back :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Yes I found that works better, the other thing I do is I edit the app.dat file to copy my contacts.pib file into \program files\ppcpimbackup then when I rebuild a rom it allways has a copy of the pib file and I dont have to worry about formatting my SD card!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Same as in 8.5 the Wi-Fi Router package is missing from the 9.0 kitchen. I have copied it from 6.5 version and works ok.

Manila Today Page works very nice with Manila 2021. Thanks for fixing the new Manila version.

Need to solve the following:

- remove extra shortcuts created for MS Office Mobile, Messenger, Windows Live and Market Place;

- enable Auto Backlight Control.

QUESTION:

- does anyone know how to correctly add Facebook Tab to Manilla? I tried before, but couldn't start Manila at all. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Can anyone help me on this?!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Hey what is the full package name of the wifi router package? I dont use it so didn't know it was missing!!

Also Messenger, windows live and market place are all held as packages in the OS section remvoe them from there and your good to go. I thought I had got rid of market place as it is no longer used!

What do yo mean autoback light is not working? It seems to be working for me as far as I can tell!

Ill have a look at manila facebook tab. You probably need to manually enter the registery keys for it.

In terms of your email settings, it might be worth scanning the registery for your email address and see if the settings are held as a registery key. I use CeRegEditor, its cool, free and more usable than some of the ones made for 6.5. Hope you are able to get the settings!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
CM Internet Sharing.

I am not using them that often either, but would still like to keep them in the ROM (just in case, for future use). The creation of the links is done by some other file too, but I cannot yet locate it. :( Any hints would be appreciated.

The control is working; it is just disabled by default, and I have to manually enable them. I scanned the registry but no luck.

There is a thread about this, but my every try ended with failing Manilla. If anyone has a good working package, please share.

There was an .xml way to do it, but cannot find it now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
These are stored as provxml files in the os directories. I should have short cuts in the start menu icons for each of the above you mentioned.

Cool I didn't know it was disabled, will start working on that for the next release

Ill look into it further for you!

I will also work on that for you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
You have the shortcuts under Shortcut Icons but if you change the icon's location then it gets duplicated. one icon in the main start menu and a second in the folder you specified.

I'm still having a problem with the Facebook profile pictures. I put the pim backup file inthe xda_uc folder on my storage card so it gets restored after flashing a new rom. I then log into facebook and it links to my contacts and syncs their status' and birthdays. I then go to edit contact and click on the contact picture to change it. A downloading arrow shows next to the picture and then it just shows a generic grey face picture with a little f logo in the corner as if it had downloaded the picture properly.

EDIT: I've also just noticed that my phone won't download any pictures from Facebook. If I open a contact and go to Open Online Album, it shows a list of their albums but won't download the pictures themselves.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
That is really random. I dont use xda_uc. As I said I simply build the pim file into my rom using this script and droping the file into the Files folder:

Directory("\Program Files"):-Directory("PPCPimBackup")

Directory("\Program Files\PPCPimBackup"):-File("PPCPimBackup.exe","\Windows\PPCPimBackup.exe")

Directory("\Program Files\PPCPimBackup"):-File("contacts.pib","\Windows\contacts.pib")

Then when I build the rom the file automaticly gets built with the rom. I then setup the phone, go into ppcpmbackup and restore the file. Once finished I then go into Settings -> Data services -> Facebook and setup the account. This then downloads the contacts for me automaticly.

Did you have your backup file setup with facebook connected before you made the backup?

This has worked for me on 21913 and 23153 using both sense 2018 and 2021.

In regards to the issue with the icons you would need to edit Sources\Windows Mobile Builds\<OS>\0409\Base_Lang_0409\mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml. This is the location for all the icons. You need to remvoe the entries you dont want then use the app.reg file to recreate the entry eg: for the settings icon remove the following code:

<characteristic type="Settings">

<parm name="Group" value="1" datatype="boolean" />

<parm name="Rank" value="900000938" datatype="integer" />

<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_Settings.png" datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

Then in the app.reg file add:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings]

"Icon"="\\windows\\Start_Icon_Settings.png"

The above works for a folder. For a file the entry would be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\File Explorer.lnk]

"Icon"="\\windows\\Start_Icon_FileExp.png"

It is a bit of work to achive but worth it in the end!
