[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Ok. So here are a few pictures and a brief description of what I had added/removed in my own build ROM used for the last four months and what is based on GhostX's made kitchen.

I use the ROM mostly for work. I rarely play games and sometimes my GF loads Android to play Angry Birds. I have four e-mail accounts: exchange, 2 hotmail and one IMAP. I don't use Manilla People Tab nor Stocks, Internet, Music, Twitter, Footprints. Therefore these at start are disabled, but are present in the ROM. There are also a few personal settings such as device name and Today Agenda names; but you can easily change them.

And since I am not a Chef nor this is an official supported release, I am posting the ROM as is, just like I made it back in April and which lasted 4 months for me with no flashing at all and no bugs. :)

I will, if somebody requests, build a ROM with slight changes to their likes or try to add packages to the kitchen.

I am not going to list what programs are included, as you can see it for yourself.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
As promissed, here are the EXT packages for Black Dialer, EndKey and Face Down Speaker Mode add-on.

Thankyou GhostX & Guzu. I have flashed hundred in 3 days but finally got working CHT+CHTtweaks in the rom I had an issue with the home title bar (where the network carrier) it was a few pixels below only when CHT was included in the rom:confused: but not when installed as cab it was OK. Finally I had to edit the lua file to add the task size manually.

Now I am asking for another noob question: I can change the icon of Opera (or camera, or calculator, etc) in Start Menu, but when I add it as quicklink the icon still remain the old one. Please con any provide some help .... :)

HTC Messaging and Exchange 2010 SMS

I have been using Energy's ROMs, as he disables HTC messaging.

Sending SMS via Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010 is vital for my work.

The latest ROM (July 2011) hasn't been too stable and I prefer using a Kitchen, anyway, to trim unnecessary bumpf.

Is it possible to trim out HTC Messaging when building with the kitchen, or would I have to resort to using Zenyee's CAB (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556614)?

Thanks for keeping a kitchen going for those of us that need/want to continue with WM6.5!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Hey guys great work on both your roms. For poyensa to answer your question regarding thje icon for opera etc, this can be very easily done.

Open the app.reg file for the icon you want. Add the following line,

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

"Icon"="\\windows\\Start_Icon_Games.png"

This is an example I have set to setup the proper icon for the games folder. If you had opera in the tools folder the reg key would be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Tools\Opera Browser.lnk]

"Icon"="\\windows\\Insert icon name here.png"

Its something I need to do in my next build!

Oh Could I have a copy of the lua file I would like to add into my next release!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
No problem. Have you tried it?!

Or instead of reuploading the whole kitchen, may be you could upload the patch only!? It saves time downloading, plus avoids multiple copies on the PC. And of course if there are major changes, especially in the WM Builts folder, then a whole new kitchen is more prefferable. What do you think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Thats a good idea,

If there are small updates, I can upload the spesific sections and let you know where to put them into your kitchen. It would save a lot of time for me to upload as well!

I dont have fiber yet and getting a whole 700k upload on a 145mb file does take a while to upload :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Poyensa! Oh your phone canvas do you have a version for 21913? I prefer it to 6.5.5!

I think I have found a couple of interesting reg keys that should do the trick!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting]

"EnableSpkWithFaceDown"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\PHONE]

"FaceDownMuteRing"=dword:00000001
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
Thanks a lot i will try the icons :)

Regarding the lua file ... does it mean you have the same issue? the home title bar is down a few pixels? Attaching the lua file for correction. Drop it in CHT files
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
As far as I know, just unckeck the htc messaging client tab and that should be iit for you now!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
For my next release I am working on sense tabs! I have found the reg keys to disable each of the tabs indivually, but when I flash a rom with one or two disabled, it crashes sense, so I still have a bit of work yet to do :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
I got it working Sense without Footprints tab and Twitter tab, also I edited Home tab to change the name. I have used Sense Util to update Tab Control File (26948339_manila), add or delete tabs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] huisie:
Thx 4 quick reply, Ghost

I'll give it a whirl this eve and report back
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Thats quite a neat way of doing it, but I would like to do it simply by selecting the necessary tabs with in kitchen its self, so that the tabs are arranged on first boot. There are reg keys for doing it but it just crashes sense on first boot. If I edit the tabs after the rom has been flashed it works fine :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Trying this now. What is the difference between today page and home page?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Home Page is the actual Home of the Manila, while Today Page is the tab that permits you to load Today Plugins such as TodayAgenda.

Here is the link for MTP - Manila Today Page.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
One more thing to mention, before cooking, please make sure that there is no file called "ManilaFull.xml" included in the kitchen; otherwise it will mess all your settings and you won't be able to change anything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
yep. Delete it in CHT folder!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Here is the code I generated for my layout. Fashed it to the rom and the sense tabs are all default which is odd.

Here is the full file I am using to customize/arrange tabs in Manila. This works for sure for Manila 2018; haven't tried with 2021. It's a .reg file.

PS: I am playing with 6.5.0 kitchen now and there are many things to do in order to bring it to the way I like. And, what was the reason to take the link away from the programs!? It seems a bit odd, because I expected the link not be included if a packaged is deselected and viceversa...

Anyways, this is not a problem for me - will take care of all as the process of customization goes. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stathis95194:
Ghost you have a typo

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuaration]

should be

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration]

no?

the same for all instances of Configuaration
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Indeed and it's a copy&paste typo too. Good eyes stathis95194.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I found that I had to remove all the links from the app.dat file first. As you say it would have been nice to have all programs on start menu by default, then remove them by clicking them in the start menu section, but it was easier to add them than remvoe if that makes sense. I may rework my coding for the next build!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Those two keys look extactly the same to me hmm :(

I built the rom, set the sense tabs the way I wanted them, Then used cRegEditor to extract the reg keys and put them into the kitchen build.

Not sure where I am going wrong!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stathis95194:
Ghost they are not the same

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Configu[b]a[/b]ration]

You have an extra "a" in Configuration
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
I guess someone needs some rest. GhostX don't take all at once so fast. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Hmm the fact that I am working nights at the minute doesn't help! Hmmm off to bed for a while :)

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Ok here is a copy of my current app.reg file. Cooking it and building rom does not work. All Sense tabs are default.

Interesting thing is if I import the same reg key into the rom afterwards, it makes all the necessary changes!

View attachment app.txt

PS changed from app.reg to app.txt to allow me to upload. I am off to have a good cry now :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
1. Have you tried my app.reg file that I have attached above? It certainly works for me.

2. The only thing I could think of is either your changes are applied before the default ones are loaded during ROM cooking or... it could be that you are saving it in a wrong format and it is ignored.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Ah ha! you were right, I had it in the wrong section of the kitchen and it got overwritten. Now I need to figure out how to make it friendly so all users can modify the tabs!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
It will be easy to enable/disable tabs. You can do it and I can help you out too, by taking out the registry settings for each tab as separate package and before them provide a package with all tabs disabled.

But I have no idea if we can achieve automatic tab rearrangement. The only solution I see is to manually append tab position.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I think your right about that. Its still a better solution than nothing. Do you know were the orgional tabs are stored? I assume it is in one of the manila folders but I can find anything.

Easiest thing to do is remove the code from there completly, then create a new sub section called sense tabs and add them all into there as enabled by default. What do you think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Ment to say, that is a really nice background you have on your start menu. Would you be able to give me a copy of it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Of course. Here it is.

PS: I am not moderator, but I would suggest to use less text when quoting, thus saving space on the forum and making it more eyes friendly. :cool: Cheers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
thanks,

And I know what you mean, I would love to be able to go in and clean up my thread :( Also asked a mod for more posts at the start of the thread so I can implament your idea of putting updates instead of download the full kitchen!

Edit cleaned previous post :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
I've just tried the 6.5.0 Kitchen, OS 23569 - Sense 2018.

If you look at the attached screens, I've got strange graphics bugs. I didn't have them with the previous version of your kitchen, although I did change from Sense 2021 to 2018 this time for the stability.

EDIT: Also, which compression method is better, LZX or XPR?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
That must be something to do with your build. Odd, I have never seen that before. Did you use the 04 23569 Spesific Tweaks along with 23569? I would suggest doing a task29 and re-flash your rom!

Thanks a lot to GhostX for share his kitchen, and all friends in XDA community. I recommend everybody to try the kitchen, its a lot of entertainment!

DOWNLOAD: Poyensa v4.0 GXS 29077.zip - 136.97 MB
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
I would definitely reccomend to do Task 29 before flashing as well as a Hard Reset when the flashing process finishes.

I recommend using the Advanced RUU exe (see attached); it is very handy when you flash often. :)

Hey GhostX, I think it would be a good idea to include it in the kitchen as well, so people do everything properly.

As for the compression methods both should do just fine. LZX is the newer and more efficient compression method. It makes ROM's smaller and gives you more free space. On the other hand, the XPR does not save you precious space, however, it offers you a more speedy and responsive ROM, which is mostly suitable for daily use. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
I included all the 23569 tweaks. I tried the same programs/settings on your v6.0.1 kitchen and it turned out fine. I'll give Task29 a go and see what happens.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Guys check out the main thread. I have now completly redesigned it. Now you have the option to download the main oskithcen in post 1. In post 2 I have an updates section.

When I release minor updates instead of downloadig the full kithcen each time, you now get the choice of downloading the updates you want! Credit goes to GuzuGuzu for giving me the idea to do this!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
Very nice work, GhostX. Keep it up. ;)

To make the picture complete I suggest to put a few thumbnails of the kitchen and of the ROM's made with the help of this kitchen. Thus anyone visiting the thread will have a visual perspective of what's going on here. :)

PS: I have moved completely to the latest version of the kitchen. There are a still things to customize, after that I'll post a few of my EXT's and may be a ROM.

PS2: What .rgu file does have all final registry settings and is applied at the end?! I am trying to put a few of my customization settings, but they always get overwritten when cooking. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I must admit I dont use rgu files. I simply create app.reg files and add my registery entries that way. Seems to be the better way of doing it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Beta testers

I was thinking of putting to gether a small team of beta testers / contributers to the kitchen. I think it would only help in the improvment of future builds.

Things I plan on working on are sense tabs - being able to easily arrange on build

Battery life - trying to impove the rom

Software updates - using newer OBOE roms to update software with in the ROM while keeping my stock look!

Would anybody be interested in becomming a beta tester for me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GuzuGuzu:
I volunteer for a beta tester position. But I am not a troubleshooter in importing new OBOE packages - sorry, I lack such kind of knowledge. :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Cool, I'll plan to work on finding out how to translate the OBOE packages. Im just looking for people to help with ways of improving the kitchen in general!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poyensa:
Pleased to help too! specially CHT2.0 :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
That would be cool! I know very little about CHT!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
I have asked Skyguar and ShiftPDA as well to see if they would be interested as well! That would be a good small team to start of with.

The Idea is we share updates between us and test before releasing next versions! Also I reakon we need a banner of sorts to put on our sigs any ideas :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stephen:
Trying to get the video working directly on the main thread. It is a standard avi that I have uploaded to youtube. Any ideas why I am just getting a white square and video not loaded?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] RDionysus:
Hi Ghost,

First I just want to say that I've been following this thread for a long time, and I think that the tools you've created and made available, i.e., the Kitchens--as well your generous efforts in guiding and teaching novice "cooks" how to use them--is nothing short of phenomenal. I've had some HD2 customization ideas dancing around in my head for a while now, but with no clear idea how to implement them. So when time and energy permit I'm really looking forward to downloading your kitchen and seeing if I can bring one or two of them to fruition. Many thanks in advance!

With respect to your video upload problem, the key part of your short description: "it is a standard avi", but you didn't mention its size, origin, or even video codec. Nevertheless, my work often involves uploading a large amount of videos to Youtube, and over time I've come to realize that AVIs are among the most problematic formats when it comes to YT posting, and there really is no such thing as a "standard avi". Usually it's because the source avi file is using some off-beat video codec, but YT will frequently choke on more common AVIs, like a DV-AVI file produced by many camcorders and such (maybe this is what you have..?) I speculate that YT's post-upload file processing just doesn't play nice with a lot of AVIs, and to make matters even more frustrating, the problems occur randomly. Since there's too much hit-and-miss, I no longer upload AVIs to YT (haven't for a long while), preferring to transcode video to another format that YT likes much better, like MPEG-4, while also having control of file size, picture quality, etc...

So, long story short-- it will probably be worth your time to take the extra step and use one of the many good-quality video converters out there (and there are quite a few easy-to-use, free ones) to convert your footage to the widely used h.264 video/AAC audio in an MP4 container, which is what I've found to be optimal for Youtube.

Hope this helps.
