Universal WM6 ROM Kitchen

Finally I'm able to steal some time to upload this Kitchen, the intention is to get everybody involved and understand and maybe help with the development of wm6 for universal, and also everyone can built their own personalize universal WM6 ROM, hopefuly user or any rom modder sending some patch or registry modification or some part update to the kitchen...

Big Thanks to MAMAICH and also my friend Bepe, the two Genius on the forum I know...

Most of this Guide is taken from bepe's, and also some of the dev tool are taken from Bepe's, and ofcourse MAMAICH so credits goes to them also for his great method and tools!

lets start,

----------

ROM Kitchen is a tool to cook your personal Universal Windows Mobile 6 ROM by the packages you need.

Your Computer must have .NET Framework v2.0 installed!

more will be added by others maybe? TOMTOM? SPB PLUS?, wiki page might be ideal for this...

How-To build a ROM:

1. Extract the kitchen pack to the c:\DEV folder (create the folder if u dont hv it)
2. Extract OEM Packages you need to OEM folder
3. Run CreateOS.exe and click the button
4. Run CreateROM.bat, proccesing....
5. HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe will start, click encode, then browse for C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\Temp\nk.prj then click next.
6. Set ur operator in operator name text field, default is set for 02 (02__01) u might change this to TMOB, MDL, etc then click encode when u finish to convert nk.nba to nk.nbf, the nk.nbf (ROM) will locate at C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\Temp folder.
http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i344543_setoperator.gif
7. ROMUpgradeUt.exe will start to update the rom to ur device or u might cancel if u planning to update latter.

Done! U Just create ur personal Universal WM6 ROM!


How-To build ur own OEM Package:

An OEM Package is just a simple folder containing files and registry settings for the ROM

First of all you'll need a GUID number for your Package.
Go to http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen to get one.
In my case:
283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db

Necessary steps:
1. Create a new folder:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/
2. Create a empty text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.dsm

(CreateOS.exe will finish this file for you)

If needed:
3. Create an UNICODE text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.rgu

This file could be used to add registry entries to the ROM
First line is:
REGEDIT4
...
and there MUST be a empty line at the end!!

4. Create an UNICODE text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/initflashfiles.txt
This file could be used to create folders or copy files, shortcut on the ROM.
For Example/ Ilustration: Open or read Dev/LOC/initflashfiles.dat using a text editor or any premake initflashfiles.txt at one of the OEM folder.

and there MUST be a empty line at the end of iniflashfiles.txt also!!

Copy all files you need to Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/

How to change Universal paging pool SIZE:

Open nk.nba with hex editor and search for hex 64B00000640000002E2E2E2E00002E00 with 2E as a joker string and the last 2E00 is ur paging pool size. or just goto offset 51A502 and start mod ur paging pool see ilustration bellow:
http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i344544_unipagingpool.gif
the picture show us 4.8mb(48) paging pool (standart) change to 60 (6mb), 70(7mb), or any size u like.

How to fake ur CE version and OS Built
(only if u kinda person who like to fake stuff, not recommended thought)

How to fake ur CE version:
open nk.nba/nk.fat with any hex editor and go search unicode string 2.00.02 (the real version) or goto address 477C and 31437C and modify to any version u like, 2.99.99 or 2.00.99 or 2.01.06 or 2.01.08 or maybe 9.99.99? if u like... but still, its a fake, well its up to you...
Ilustration picture:
http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i344541_fakece.gif

How to fake ur OS Build:
convert shellres.dll.0409.mui module (dir) to file and edit string 918 at resource ID 14683 and 14684 to any OS version u like, u'll have OS build 10.10 (Build 99999) OS if u like...but still, its a fake, well its up to you...
Ilustration picture (u'll hv OS 10.50.9999 (Build 99999) isn't amazing? more update then ms one...:
http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i344542_fakeos2.gif

How to cook ur Extended_ROM
I'll update someday, running out of time...

Well, the kitchen and also some instruction (hopes u guys understand) are here now, so? why dont you guys built ur own personalize WM6 ROM...??

I hope more people will understand and gettin more involved and helpful with rom making stuff after this, and more people will support each others with bugs and updates... lets work togather guys... next would be AKU3.3 and AKU3.5 kitchen if I hv time...

hopes that i'm not forgot about something...lol...

regard,
Helmi

yes, the link to buzz is dead, I'll erase it...

if you hv another LOC (Localization MUI) it should possible, btw darkforce hv post a rom with many language? u can take its MUI and HTM help file with another language. just replace the loc folder with foreign LOC.

the mui and htm only can replace by OEM folder , in LOC not enough for that,special for IMU very difficult to replace,also need to edit reg key

TO translate Can I Take the .mui file from Wm5 Aku 3.5 Italian ROM by fly (http://rapidshare.com/files/7379949/UNI_AKU3.5_V1_FLY.rar.html)?
It's very difficult?

[arifqur]

Hello Helmi thanks for the Kitchen and love you for the 1.1 Rom.
Can you tell me how to set Operator ID for Ufone in pakistan because I have never been able to successfully change the code that I get "41003" in the phone app even after editing the nbf in WM5 Himalaya Roms as well.
Do I write Ufone_41003 in the Operator Id line or what?

[CWKJ]

Here is what I get from running CreateOS.exe with extra included (see attached).

Running CreateROM.bat prompts for missing default.hv, boot.rgu which I copy from somewhere in the kitchen. But prompts for Boot.hv which is no where to be found. (Can find in my PPC).

What did I do wrong?

But still able to continue to get nk.nbf. Can flash this? Is this same as Helmi-WM6-v1.1?

[SpyderTracks]

i don't know how you guys do it, but thanks very much all of you!!!! :D

Hey super job Sir Helmi. Managed to make two roms one basic vanilla and then one with few apps listed on your download OEMs.
Super fast Roms both of them. After installing everything memory stays at around 29Mbs. Wow.
Tell me one thing, can I install all the items in the OEM downloads and still manage to keep the nbf file at 63Mbs and workable?
Thanks once again.

Hi,
Can someone explain what i have to do if I want to use a other rom as basis to my own rom?

In my case i want to use the Darkforce Rom as my basis, cause it is available in german language.
So I have decoded the nk.nbf to nk.nba and nk.prj but what I have to do now?

thx

You confident enough to post links to them on the site somewhere and start your own thread? It's always nice to have more choice with ROMs :D

[cktlcmd]

I'll try my luck on building my own ROMs this week. Right now, I have to read.

I tried the Vanilla ROM and afther with rescoexplorer, wm5torage, zip and many other plugs by helmi.
It works very great.

Now I want to build one OEM package by myself.

I tried also the HTC today plugin

Doesn't work when i click the battery icon.

remane your power.exe to powerexe.exe than you will be fine

[CWKJ]

I want to know too. Thanks HELMI!!!!

Helmi's package now is very friendly with the package he provides.

If you want to bring something in from other ROMs, try using Scoter Kitchen to extract them first. Remember the link that I send you the other day on Scoter Kitchen.

Once you extract those files from other ROMs, you can do it like the "Kitchen_OEM" and you include those other extras accordingly.

But do be careful, adding other software to any ROM may cause instability, it is just like installing Apps on the ROM, which some are good and some may cause hang.

Guess the only way to know if it is stable or not, is to try it out with few iterations just like you done "install/uninstall Apps" before.

As mwang explain, you could rename the file before building the ROM.

If you find building, hardreset and reinstall too troublesome. Just copy power.exe to powerexe.exe will do (because you cannot rename in \Windows\ directory), file is too small to bother if it is a dublicate with 2 names.

I was wondering how could I convert any of the OEM package addons to an installable CAB file ? I mean instead of using Helmi's method of adding those OEM packages into the ROM file itself, I was wondering how to compile those OEM packages into seperate installable CAB files...

I've been able to identify the file locations and the registry settings of an OEM package, but I haven't been able to compile the required DLL files included in an OEM package.

I would really appreciate your help on this...

maybe u need to hex patch the plugin to call power.exe instead powerexe.exe? open the dll with hex editor and find powerexe.exe unicode string and modify it to power.exe.
or the mwang way, but with this way U'll hv 2 power.exe and powerexe.exe file on windows dir, that also no problem I think.

U just need to import its rgu registry entry, locate the shortcut and exe's with CeCabManager (v2.1 and higher version is more recommended, since the lower version hv problem with multi_sz regsitry)

@Helmi.

Can You explane me, for example, how I must to build the oem package for Oxiosmemory?

since Oxiosmemory didn't use any registry modification, u just need to create a new dir with a new blank GUID .rgu and .dsm and initflashfiles.txt and offcourse hibernate.exe/lnk and closeapp.lnk/exe extracted from the cab:

OxiosMemory xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dsm
just create a new text (blank) and rename it to xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dsm

OxiosMemory xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.rgu
;OxiosMemory .rgu only contain REGEDIT4 with blank space at the end
REGEDIT4

;end of OxiosMemory .rgu

Oxios Initflashfiles.txt
;Oxios Initflashfiles.txt
;*****Oxiosmemory****
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("CloseApp.lnk","\Windows\CloseApp.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Hibernate.lnk","\Windows\Hibernate.lnk")
;*****Oxiosmemory****


and copy the hibernate.lnk/exe and closeapp.lnk/exe to OxiosMemory OEM dir.

I've attach the result for u to look at.

YES, I still have those link. THANKS!!! VERY MUCH. I think, I can start tonight, as soon as I get back from work.

hmm... cktlcmd UNI WM6 ROM should be out any days now?...:)

[helmi_c]

thanks Mwang, hopes that u will keep helping/contribute us/others with the kitchen stuff...

btw where's my friend midget?, midget do you hv other OEM pack with u?

What did I do wrong?

But still able to continue to get nk.nbf. Can flash this? Is this same as Helmi-WM6-v1.1?

there's something wrong with the oem rgu/dsm filename... check them... the kitchen result should be better then v.1.1 version, since some improvement are already added to the kitchen...

While testing the vanilla version without any change.
Can i ignore operator name setting?
In the final stage (encoding) i get a warning message: "file too big: continue at your own risk"
Am i the only one? Is it safe to use the resulting rom file?

Don't worry the resulting rom is OK. i have tried three different versions. All of them gave the warning but the resulting ROM was perfect.

thank you Arifqur and thanks to mister Helmi!

[CWKJ]

there's something wrong with the oem rgu/dsm filename... check them...
You mean the first part of CreateOS.exe portion has some wrong filename of rgu/dsm? The orginal/vanilla OEM or the "Kitchen_OEM"?

Errr... pardon me, how to check, I am still new to this kitchen.

Few tools you need to get first. I cannot remember where I have downloaded, make a search here and maybe on the web.

1. MSCEInfEn which able to view/unzip the cab files for study first. It can also be use to view the cab files you have create.

2. ppc_installation_creator which allows you to create cab files.

Cab files are basically like installable zip of files you want to gather.

Now the difficult part, which I also do not really know. You have to determine which *.exe， *.dll, *.lnk, registry, etc that make the feature you need to be complete.

Get one existing cab, unzip it to study, especially the init / config file of how to place the *.exe, *.dll, *.lnk, registry, etc.

Maybe I cannot explain clearly, can someone help out?

Good luck.

So in OEM directory are stored oem programs added.
In OS dir are the os files, isn't it ?

oepsss, forgot to put the empty extended rom haha, Jwrightmcps's extended rom is installing, wow this is so much fun!

Hello my friend cktlcmd I see your busy already ;)

Many, many thanks Helmi_C, let the party begin.

Cheers, Leo :)

[CWKJ]

there's something wrong with the oem rgu/dsm filename... check them...
You mean the first part of CreateOS.exe portion has some wrong filename of rgu/dsm? The orginal/vanilla OEM or the "Kitchen_OEM"?

Errr... pardon me, how to check, I am still new to this kitchen.
If I work on only the "OEM" packages, everything is ok without error & without warning messages.

But when I added the "Kitchen_OEM" into the "OEM" directory, halfway through CreateOS.exe, the message is,

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes
[xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx]
But the Guid (32 digits with 4 dashes), OEM rgu/dsm filename is the same as using "OEM" alone without "Kitchen_OEM". I choose continue and it can still go all the way to get *.nbf. Can this *.nbf be used?

Anyone has the same problem?

[phsnake]

.....
But when I added the "Kitchen_OEM" into the "OEM" directory, halfway through CreateOS.exe, the message is,.....
thru some explorer or something like that search for *..rgu or *..dsm one file has name xxxxx..rgu or xxxx.dsm with 2 points instead of 1

[cktlcmd]

I ran into a GUID error after running the Creator OS file. Where did I go wrong? I had the same error as CW.


I have to say, after 6 hours of reading and experimenting... I have a huge headache now!!! I don't know how these guys do it, but this is VERY DRAINING WORK.

I think the problems we ran into are due to wrong creation of an OEM folder. Can you please simplify Helmi's instruction to be addressed to us newbies. Please do it in step by step, so as to not annoy you too much. :D

[phsnake]

i didnt experience any probs except one i wrote above(doublepoint issue)

btw. helmi, someone asked U already, how can we use other ROM as a base? i.e. jwrights,or darkforce...

[freemanxp]

If one file dosn't hava a MUI file, How can i create the mui file? :confused:

[helmi_c]

Any chance of using the OS and LOC folders in another kitchen, say for the Apache 3.5 kitchen? :)

hello there my fellow apache user Bushrod :)

I've already make a kitchen with newer build of WM6, OS Build 17217 for QVGA device (I'll try to port it to universal when I hv time) but for Apache we still need to modify APACHE xip and core to make it run with wm6 first..

[helmi_c]

i didnt experience any probs except one i wrote above(doublepoint issue)

btw. helmi, someone asked U already, how can we use other ROM as a base? i.e. jwrights,or darkforce...

hmm.. for using the other rom as a pure base just copy other rom nk.nba to \ROM dir, but it doesnt make any difference since the build is just the same, and I think my 1.1 still the stablest one base correct me if i'm wrong on this (JWJRIGHT,PDAVIET using v1.1 base, Midget,Indra using v1), and the difference is just within default.hv and user.hv configuration among ROMs, but if u need to use it language, extra, etc? you/I need to dissamble the rom and re-create the kitchen base on it, or grab it localize file or it extra setting. I still can't download the darkforce rom to grab it localization files.

i just added to ftp following packages - works with helmi kitchen:
AEBPlus2.5.2.rar

really appreciate ur support phsnake!... keep them coming...

[helmi_c]

While testing the vanilla version without any change.
Can i ignore operator name setting?
In the final stage (encoding) i get a warning message: "file too big: continue at your own risk"
Am i the only one? Is it safe to use the resulting rom file?

it safe, since htc64 extended rom tool is originaly use for extended rom with smaller size so when we use it for ROM there'll be a warning for the size... its completely safe...

Ahoy there Helmi,

Thank you vey much for this info, and nice usage of the spraypaint tool :)

lol... yup... my hand was not very good with spraypaint ...lol...

[phsnake]

really appreciate ur support phsnake!... keep them coming...
with pleasure, and thanks for perf.tool.

btw, can anyone make package form wisbar? i tried but it doesnt look working correctly, although I'm almost sure that all files are where they should B and registry as well

[CWKJ]

thru some explorer or something like that search for *..rgu or *..dsm one file has name xxxxx..rgu or xxxx.dsm with 2 points instead of 1
Please explain "2 points instead of 1".

xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dsm & xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.rgu is always there, it is used with success and no errors in building the Vanilla version which is the original "OEM" directory.

After the success of Vanilla, I moved "Kitchen_OEM" into "OEM", and I get the "Guid xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" error message, but I can choose the "Continue" button and the *.nbf is still build.

Maybe after you explanation of "2 points instead of 1", I will clear this "Guid" Problem.

[Laurentius26]

Hi Cktlcmd,

On first try, I unzipped the mappes and files from the kitchen to 'C\Dev\...' and tried to build the rom.
When the HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe started and I tried to encode it gave me the error 'failed to get fat16 file name'.

The correct path for the kitchen should be: 'C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\...'

I don't know (but I thinks so) if you tried already but I can recommend you to try build the vanilla version, it's fast with no errors and great battery life.

The rom version I have now is:

OS 5.2.318 (build 15341.0.0.0)
R 1.15.00
G 42.51.P8
D 2.00.02 WWE

Rom image build on 1 december 2006

Next step for me is build a OEM package and integrate it.
As I sayed before I'm a view steps behind you ;)

I'm just a newbie as well, but step by step I'm getting there :D

Leo

btw. why do you use the Scoter kitchen if al tools are present in Helmi's kitchen?

I think the problems we ran into are due to wrong creation of an OEM folder. Can you please simplify Helmi's instruction to be addressed to us newbies. Please do it in step by step, so as to not annoy you too much. :D

[waynezhang]

I tried to get broadcom bluetooth driver from your 1.1 WM6 rom to the kitchen but I failed. All the media files could not be played. Can you give me the broad com pack or some tips? thank u

[arifqur]

Thanks a lot for the new OEM packages. Looks like if I can find a few more OEM packages of the software I use, I woudnt have to install any programs after flashing.
Helmi this is one stable ROM that we are cooking with this kitchen. Not one hanged state to date in any of the Roms that I built ( 5 Roms to-date)

Thanks to Helmi, Phsnake and all the senior members.

P.S.
I would like to have the OEM packages for SBSH iLauncher 3.0.0.4, CloseALL, CloseApp, Unhide_Extended_Rom_as_Storage, TodayDate_in_one_line, MS Reader, SPB Backup, MWilmar's Folders.

HA Dreams, Dreams

[cktlcmd]

btw. why do you use the Scoter kitchen if al tools are present in Helmi's kitchen?

Scoter Kitchen will allow me to use any ROM as the base OS, unlike Helmi's procedure, it only pertains to Helmi's ROM, since he did not gave us an instruction on how to compile all the files.

[phsnake]

2cktlcmd: arent all avialable wm6s the same build?from helmi 1.1andhigher?im not speaking about pdaviet, becausebtheynR all fake.

another quest.: how does initflases works? it only copies files2desired location,or it fakes somehow filesystem?because if not,its useless, its better then to edit program2instal 2 windir,and u can save internal storage mem. please can someone make it clear for me?

[svyatko]

guys has anyone tried using kitchen, on Vista, i get the EXCEPTION ERROR saying LOC\packages.sof is corrupt as soon as i press START on Create OS

anyone know whether its the Vista issue, or i am doing something wrong???

[phsnake]

i ve got answ 2 my initflash quest.:its not usefull except for small files and lnk,because it only copies files 2 "internal storage" so if u use initflash 2 make xyz dir containing 10mb, its redundant- file occupies 10mb in rom as well as in storage. crap. fu..ing m$hit

The built are the same version, but for some reason for example the Dark Force ROM is a little bit different in small areas. What I want to do is combine the good points from both ROM. Hopefully...

Hi again cktlcmd,

I'm in the Scoter kitchen extraction room.
I took the nk.nba out of Helmi_C's kitchen and extracted it into modules,
because this is going to be my base Rom!

Then I took the nk.nbf mwang and placed it in the extraction room, I converted it with the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool to a nk.nba.
After that I extracted it into files, because I want to take things out of there and place them in Helmi_C's vanilla rom.

So far so good, just to update you how things are going.

Cheers, Leo ;)

I'm not sure if I did follow you. but I take the chance.

To have a WM6 runing on the emulator you need to get "just" 3 files ( VS is not needed). Well at least for WM5, because I got WM6 images but didn't test it yet. Or did I, don't remember.

1_Virtual Machine Network Driver for Microsoft Device Emulator.msi
2_Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0.exe or
2_Microsoft Device Emulator 2.0 Beta.msi
3_Windows Mobile 5.0 Emulator.msi

for WM6 ,Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK, and I think you need the new beta from the emulator.

I hope this was what you were looking for.

Cheers

[phsnake]

for m$hit wm5 yes but i wanna wm6, just now was new beta maybe already rel of mdev emu released(a week ago) but there are images in SDK and U cannot install it w/o M$hit VS studio. :-(

Thanks very much. So basically, it is like making a CAB file except we place the files in a folder.

[bonovox]

Got everything right :) ,

Created and added few OEM Files to the rom Such as: Wisbar Advance 2, Oxios Close Apps, Jeyo Sms Backup, Contacts Backup, Cleartype Power Toys, Contact Changer 1.3, Tcpmp player and few from helmi's OEM files.

Tried to build pocketbreeze 5.2 OEM but it hung up while booting, don't know what the problem was :(

Thank you again helmi for provide us with very good tools, hopefully more coming from you

Helmi many thanks; I've got to give this a go! :)

One thing, how do you tweak the registry values on your ROM?

Probably a silly question, but say I want to default to certain items on the today screen or smaller fonts.

Is it just a case of making an OEM for each tweak or changing something already somewhere?

Thanks a lot for the packages man. Already made a ROM with phsnakes packages and it works fine. Will add your packages today.
What is ClearTypePowerToys ?
Can you make a package for SBSH ilauncher 3.0.0.4 and Microsoft Reader and SPB Backup ?
Would awfully appreciate if you senior guys could add more packages for us noobies to use.
By the way the ROM made by this Kitchen is exremely stable. No resets to-date

Probably a silly question, but say I want to default to certain items on the today screen or smaller fonts.

Is it just a case of making an OEM for each tweak or changing something already somewhere?

If (for example), I wanted to change the default PIE days history from 30 days to 20 days, would I only have to create an OEM .dsm and .rgu file (the latter having the registry keys).

Searching through the files there does not appear to be the same options anywhere so is the 30 days just the default in the ROM which is overwritten by my new OEM?

I am trying to understand what is customisable and what is potential brick making material; but if I can create a ROM with my programs installed and all my email/wifi settings, etc. then that would be ideal (possibly releasing a clean version for anyone that's interested).

Use Helmi's cab Unlock_extended_rom_as_Storage and you will be able to see the extended rom after reset and be able to install programs in it.
In the options for Resco Keyboard there is a check box labeled set as default input. Check this box.
If you did not put the OEM package of sddaemon in your ROM then you should not get this message. However, to remove this message at startup, remove the sddaemon.lnk from /Windows/Startup/ folder.
Resco today plugin is not included in the Resco OEM package. You can install it separately.

Thank you
i will downlod the unlock cab and i will install it.
but is it possible to include this unlock package in the rom. (i mean is it possible to "cook" it in the kitchen with the other packages ?)

PS
i can confirm that to avoid the "fat16 filesize error" is necessary to unzip the kitchen file to this path "C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0"

[otimov]

sorry i can't find
Unlock_extended_rom_as_Storage

[Laurentius26]

Hi,

Maybe somebody good help me a bit please?
I'm having problems with building a OEM Package, don't understand the following below. Do I have to create a subfolder say:

C:\Dev\OEM\Laurentius26 (for example) and place the empty textfiles in there?

If creating empty textfiles in the staps below do I need to change the extension?

In step 3, 'create a unicode textfile', what kind of registry settings go in here, and how to create the empty line at the end?

It would be create if somebody post some sample textfiles in this thread, so everybody has got a idea how to start!

Thank you,

Leo :)




How-To build ur own OEM Package:

Necessary steps:
1. Create a new folder:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/
2. Create a empty text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.dsm

(CreateOS.exe will finish this file for you)

If needed:
3. Create an UNICODE text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/283b9db7-cb03-4c1b-820e-ca49b2c3b5db.rgu

This file could be used to add registry entries to the ROM
First line is:
REGEDIT4
...
and there MUST be a empty line at the end!!

4. Create an UNICODE text file:
Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/initflashfiles.txt
This file could be used to create folders or copy files, shortcut on the ROM.
For Example/ Ilustration: Open or read Dev/LOC/initflashfiles.dat using a text editor or any premake initflashfiles.txt at one of the OEM folder.

and there MUST be a empty line at the end of iniflashfiles.txt also!!

Copy all files you need to Dev/OEM/[Your package name]/

Helmi

[grayme]

I looked up WinCE CAB Manager, tried it, it was easy to follow the instructions, problem is it cost $70 bucks. I guess I'll have to shell out some dough... :D

What would you do with WinCE CAB Manager to make the files?

I'm trying to make an OEM for Mortplayer and don't want to have to type out the iniflashfiles.txt file by hand as it's huge!

It would be create if somebody post some sample textfiles in this thread, so everybody has got a idea how to start!

Thank you,

Leo :)

I'll give it a go as I've been unable to get help myself! :(

That location seems right, and yes you do need to change the extensions.

The registry settings in step three are those that go with the package (for example in my mortplayer they are the options that go into the registry); not all OEMs will need registry settings.

The empty line is just by pushing 'return', it is just a blank line at the end (as in don't end on a line with text on it).

I've got this from looking at other text files in the OEM folder, they are as good examples as any.

HTH!

Hi again cktlcmd,

I'm in the Scoter kitchen extraction room.
I took the nk.nba out of Helmi_C's kitchen and extracted it into modules,
because this is going to be my base Rom!

Then I took the nk.nbf mwang and placed it in the extraction room, I converted it with the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool to a nk.nba.
After that I extracted it into files, because I want to take things out of there and place them in Helmi_C's vanilla rom.

So far so good, just to update you how things are going.

Cheers, Leo ;)
LOL, me doing the same.

But the last part using "Cooker", it runs complete but I find no *.nba files in any directories. How is your outcome.

[arifqur]

Used Bonovox's and Phsnake's OEM packages alongwith Helmi's OEM packages and flashed a new ROM with all the stuff. Works great.
Now I only install the following:
Tascall Close ALL
Mwilmar's Folders
MS reader
SBSH iLauncher 3.0.0.4
SPB Backup
Akusal's Today Single line Date
Helmi's Unhide_Extended_rom_as_Storage
Vjbigphone

If I can have the OEM packages for these Apps I would not have to install anything after flashing the new ROM.

Is there a way to save the registration codes for all the Apps like Resco Explorer, Resco Keyboard, WisbarAdvance2, Core Player etc because this is always a nuiscance after flashing a new Rom

[Laurentius26]

Hi CWKJ,

Look in the kitchen 'Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\Rom', this one I took!

Hi grayme,

Thanks for the explanation.
I will try it, take another OEM as example.
One more question, is it possible to leave the OEM folder empty to build a Rom?

Regards,

I am not using Helmi Kitchen.

I used Scoter Kitchen's "c:\scoter kitchen\build room\Cooker.lnk", it completes the run but *.nba no where to be found.

[Laurentius26]

Hi again,

I took the nk.nba out of Helmi's kitchen and placed it in

C:\Scoter Kitchen\Extraction Room

There I convert.

I don't use the build room of Scoter Kitchen.

What would you do with WinCE CAB Manager to make the files?

I'm trying to make an OEM for Mortplayer and don't want to have to type out the iniflashfiles.txt file by hand as it's huge!

I am not that familiar yet with WinCE. It is useful in creating the other files needed for the OEM like the .lnk and making sure which folder they would go opun installation, but I am not sure if it can create the iniflashfiles.txt files. I guess it is useful to check if the files we are going to include in the OEM folder would really work.

[Laurentius26]

Cool cool cooool...

I'm getting there!
Took the nk.nbf out of mwang rom.
Converted it in to nk.nba with the HTC64 Extended Rom tool out of the Kitchen.
This is what I did.

Copied the nk.nbf out of mwang rom into;

C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\Tools\...

Run HTC64 Extended Rom tool, instruction here:

http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=1

Now I have a nk.nba, 'and if I look in the kitchen!'

C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\ROM

Haha.. lets overwright i've got a copy of the kitchen anyway,
also emptied the OEM folder in the kitchen.

Lets build and see what happens :D

Cheers Leo

Hi

Hope I'm not boring you, forgot something, I need to dump the rom asee!

if I look in the kitchen there are a view directory's:

C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\
-LOC
-OEM
-OS

For this I use Mamaich method II found here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249836

Made a new directory:

C:\dump (just for making it easy)
Copied 'prepare_imgfs.exe' out of Helmi_C's kitchen tools and paste it in here, and ofcourse the nk.nba in my previous post described how created.

'Opened a command window and run'

C:\dump\prepare_imgfs.exe nk.nba -nosplit (for Universal)

'Now I've got'

'imgfs_raw_data.bin' and 'imgfs_removed_data.bin'

For this I use 'viewimgfs.exe' so copied it into C:\Dump directory.

Again the command window and run:

C:\dump\viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin

Now the rom is dumped C:\dump\dump haha..

I took the files out and copied them into the rom section of Helmi_C's kitchen. Ofcourse deleted the other files in the rom section of the kitchen first.

Now I try to build the rom with the kitchen.

Sorry for mombling and mombling I stop now ;)

Hi,

This is fun.
I'm cooking.
I'm trying to figure out how to extract a rom and combine it with Helmi's rom kitchen, so that I can compare roms, take the good things out and build one myself.

btw. it didn't work out I'm going to try the scoter kitchen extraction room for this.

If I manage to build a rom this way I'll update you.

winCe CAB man:
it used 2 create cab files as posted above, 2 create initflashfiles.txt u need 2 open cab file in cab man and u can see the path where they are installed. it looks like %CE2%- this means file is installed to windows directory. or %CE1%/foldername - file goes 2 program files/foldername so U need 2 edit init...txt as follows:
Directory("\Program Files"):-Directory("Foldername")
Directory("\Program Files\Foldername"):-File("file.ext", "\Windows\file.ext")
so your file.ext will be after flash in \windows and program files\foldername
but try 2 avoid this as much as possible (except for small files) because it only copies this file 2 storage mem., so it is in rom as well as it takes space in storage. So if U do it with i.e. 2MB exe, you loose space in rom and storage.

[grayme]

Wow, I'm cooking on gas too!

Got a ROM that works with a few OEMs downloaded, tweaked the today agenda settings and made my own OEM to hide the bottom bar on the todayscreen.

Wicked! :)

Now to sort all those other settings and remove useless things like midlet manager if I can ;)

Hi,

In the kitchen there is already a base rom, what I'm trying to do is take another base rom and using it in this kitchen so I can analyse and rebuild ad my own OEM etc. etc...
I like the rom of the Darkforce team so I took the nk.nbf from there to extract. I'm using a second kitchen (Scoter kitchen) to extract the nk.nbf.

I'm in the Scoter kitchen\extraction room with the nk.nbf

1.) HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.exe nk.nbf => nk.nba
2.) Dragged the nk.nba to the shortcut 'extract modules'.

New folder is extracted called 'Modules', this is the Rom.
If I look into the folder I see two subdirectory's!

-OEM
-SYS

Now I go to Helmi_C's kitchen "C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0"
There I see the following folders:

-LOC
-OEM
-OS
-ROM
-Tools

I empty the following folders and replace them with the Darkforce rom extracted in the Scoter kitchen\Extraction room\'Modules':

-OEM = OEM Darkforce team
-ROM = nk.nba Darkforce team
-OS = sys folder Darkforce team
-Tools = nk.prj Darkforce team (overwrite only nk.prj ofcourse not the tools deleted)

'Run' C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\createOS.exe

Following popups:

blank.pwi already exist and will be skipped
initflashfiles.dat (same message)
meeting.pwi (same)
memo.pwi (same)
mxip_initdb.vol (same)
phone.pwi (same)
todo.pwi (same)

Temp folder created with the dump + boot.hv and boot.rgu

My question;

How are these two files created 'boot.hv and boot.rgu'?
What about the files that are skipped, how can I change that, where can I find them?

Cheers, Leo :)

b.t.w. this looks grazy but I hope you know what I'm trying to do.

[phsnake]

2 Laurentius:
i dont think U need 2 care about pwi files, those are only word templates i think, so i bet, that u can delete 1 appearance of them. More important are initflashes.dat, i recomend to search for init...dat in dev/helmi... forlder i check which one is apropriate (compare 2 file you extracted from darkforce rom - that one is the right one, or clockwise search sor initflashes.dat before replacing & adding files 2 dev/helmi....)
I hope it wll B usefull for you and i undestood what RU looking for.

the darkfiorce initflash*.dat is DSK:\Scoter Kitchen\Extraction Room\Modules\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409
helmis init*.dat DSK:\dev\helmi_uni_wm6_kitchen_r0\LOC
so try to replace helmis file with this one and try. keep us posted

[grayme]

Leo

What is it that you are hoping to get better from the Darkforce ROM than the one that is provided here?

[phsnake]

2 grayme & laurentius: exactly as grayme pointed out, there are small differences between all WM6 roms, they are same built (i beleve, god (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1178241&postcount=62) said that). maybe different icos, different regsetttings, diferent pagepool, everythink U can do yourself with kitchen and regedit i think

[Laurentius26]

Hi phsnake,

Thanks for your answer, finally I managed to extracted and rebuild again!
If you want to, just follow this steps!

I took a look in the batchfile C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\'CreateRom.bat'. Sample I included in this message.

Created directory C:\Dump

If you look in the batchfile you see what it's doing.

This lines are important for me:

CD .\Temp\
..\Tools\prepare_imgfs NK.nba -nosplit
PATH %path%;..\Tools\
ECHO Next: Build the rom...
pause
BUILDIMGFS
MAKE_IMGFS nk.nba -nosplit
XCOPY ..\Tools\HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe /y
XCOPY ..\Tools\nk.prj /y
XCOPY ..\Tools\RUU.conf /y
XCOPY ..\Tools\EnterBL.exe /y
XCOPY ..\Tools\RUU.dll /y
XCOPY ..\Tools\GetDeviceData.exe /y
XCOPY ..\Tools\ROMUpgradeUt.exe /y
XCOPY ..\Tools\UI.dll /y
REM XDA2NBFTOOL -c -u nk.nba
REM XDA2NBFTOOL -x nk.nba nk.nbf 0x20040304

So the following tools I copy to the created 'C:\dump folder'.

-nka.nbf nk.prj (Darkforce Rom or your choice)
-EnterBL.exe
-GetDeviceData.exe
-HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe
-make_imgfs.exe
-nk.nbf
-nk.prj
-prepare_imgfs.exe
-ROMUpgradeUt.exe
-RUU.conf
-RUU.dll
-UI.dll

Than I run HTC64_Extend_ROM_Tool.exe

-Select 'decode' (browse to c:\dump\nk.nbf)
-next
-change 'FAT16file' C:\Dump\'nk.fat' into 'nk.nba'
-change operator settings to yours
-Klick 'Decode'
-Message done!

Now you have a nk.nba and a nk.prj file.
Remember these!

Open a command window.
cd.. [enter]
cd.. [enter]
cd dump [enter]
prepare_imgfs.exe -nosplit [enter]

When done you have two extra files in c;\dump

-imgfs_raw_data.bin
-imgfs_removed_data.bin

This is the rom image extracted!
This one I need to analyse!

Helmi_C didn't included 'viewimgfs.exe', with this tool you can see what is in this 'imgfs_raw_data.bin', litterly you dump the rom into files, possible to take things out or in and rebuild. You can find it in Scoter kitchen\utilities\tools.

So now I need to rebuild again.

-Open command window
cd.. [enter]
cd.. [enter]
cd dump [enter]
make_imgfs nk.nba -nosplit [enter]

Everything done, flashed the rom, it works!

Cheers Leo ;)

Hi grayme,

I like the Darforce Rom because it's faster,
and created without any other cooked rom.
Also I want to learn how it's build.

Rom version:
5.2.318
build 15341.0.0.0

Is this the same version as in this kitchen, i didn't check?

Greetings, Leo :)

Hi,

For people reading my post!
When I use the Scoter kitchen extraction room and extract a nk.nba into modules. The following folders are build.

-Module,sys,oem.

Somewhere else I was reading (can't remember where lol..):

sys = loc + OS

Wich file's are 'OS' and which are 'loc' in the 'sys' folder?

Cheers and thank you,

Jwright's ROM calls from an extended ROM but that is originally locked.

What would be clever is to call from the SD Card and install the required cabs into the unlocked ext ROM.... :confused:

you could create your own ms_.nbf

for m$hit wm5 yes but i wanna wm6, just now was new beta maybe already rel of mdev emu released(a week ago) but there are images in SDK and U cannot install it w/o M$hit VS studio. :-(

guys has anyone tried using kitchen, on Vista, i get the EXCEPTION ERROR saying LOC\packages.sof is corrupt as soon as i press START on Create OS

anyone know whether its the Vista issue, or i am doing something wrong???

CreateOS.exe didn't work on vista...

The built are the same version, but for some reason for example the Dark Force ROM is a little bit different in small areas. What I want to do is combine the good points from both ROM. Hopefully...

Scoter Kitchen will allow me to use any ROM as the base OS, unlike Helmi's procedure, it only pertains to Helmi's ROM, since he did not gave us an instruction on how to compile all the files.

I believe I've already explain that u can just overwrite nk.nba from Darkforce Team on \Dev\Rom replace the original nk.nba.
but, I dont think that makes any good since we hv the same build, and I'm still believe that my base is more stable, please correct me if I'm wrong on this... I've tried the rom.

Btw I've look DarkForce ROM, the rom hv Athena SAP and setting, but some are not compatible with Universal, for example the rom use Phonesetting.dll (v.5.31) oke newer stuff but didn't compatible with universal, for universal Phonesetting.dll v.4.30 and here some darkforce team registry that will make the universal refuse to change the BAND setting:

or u can check phonesetting.dll in OEM folder

So I still with my first statement that the difference is just default.hv and user.hv among roms, default.hv and user.hv (or may i say OEM App/Tweak/Extras it contain?) this is can easily modify with extra OEM pack with registry entry for more tweak/app/improvement/extras.

I dont hv time to learn all the difference, but it seems most part of the rom SAP (standar application) are taken from ATHENA device, fyi: my kitchen also base on athena device on some part as u can see most of the part are newer then any available rom (except Darkforce team rom), but my kitchen only use part of ATHENA that are compatible with Universal. thats another reason why this kitchen ROM result is better then my v1.1 rom beside other tweak that already done with this kitchen...

hi guys!
I'm a new member of this comunity...

A Question, when I use createOS.exe in c:\dev\*.* appears this error message: " LOC\packages.sof is corrupt! "

you can help me???


thx

Francesco

This is weird...If u didn't do anything with the kitchen, just runnin the CreateOS.exe after extraction, My biggest suspicion is the RAR archieve are corrupt..

[helmi_c]

Helmi many thanks; I've got to give this a go! :)

One thing, how do you tweak the registry values on your ROM?

Probably a silly question, but say I want to default to certain items on the today screen or smaller fonts.

Is it just a case of making an OEM for each tweak or changing something already somewhere?

If (for example), I wanted to change the default PIE days history from 30 days to 20 days, would I only have to create an OEM .dsm and .rgu file (the latter having the registry keys).

Searching through the files there does not appear to be the same options anywhere so is the 30 days just the default in the ROM which is overwritten by my new OEM?

I am trying to understand what is customisable and what is potential brick making material; but if I can create a ROM with my programs installed and all my email/wifi settings, etc. then that would be ideal (possibly releasing a clean version for anyone that's interested).


Yes, just create OEM pack with more tweak, but if the tweak are already set, u might need to check the current OEM pack or create a .proxml (xml) file that will execute the tweak registry after first reset. no mather what current tweak are set, check the:
\DEV\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\OEM\UNI_Tambahan\mxi pcold_oemoperators_101.provxml
the code u put there will overwrite any value that already exist in the registry after ur first reset

btw releasing a clean version sounds good...:)

[helmi_c]

files been uploaded to ftp ...... (uploads/universal/helmi_c/kitchen oem)

thanks bonovox for participation and support... really appreciate it... the good thing with kitchen is we can share OEM pack for buildin our own perfect personal/public rom...

[helmi_c]

Used Bonovox's and Phsnake's OEM packages alongwith Helmi's OEM packages and flashed a new ROM with all the stuff. Works great.
Now I only install the following:
Tascall Close ALL
Mwilmar's Folders
MS reader
SBSH iLauncher 3.0.0.4
SPB Backup
Akusal's Today Single line Date
Helmi's Unhide_Extended_rom_as_Storage
Vjbigphone

If I can have the OEM packages for these Apps I would not have to install anything after flashing the new ROM.

Is there a way to save the registration codes for all the Apps like Resco Explorer, Resco Keyboard, WisbarAdvance2, Core Player etc because this is always a nuiscance after flashing a new Rom

some app use difference serial number/registry entry so some app need to input the serial number manualy after flashing the rom.

Hi grayme,

Thanks for the explanation.
I will try it, take another OEM as example.
One more question, is it possible to leave the OEM folder empty to build a Rom?

Regards,

Leo

No u cant leave the folder empty since device drivers are in OEM folder... the device will not even boot if u built with completely empty OEM folder...

[helmi_c]

2 grayme & laurentius: exactly as grayme pointed out, there are small differences between all WM6 roms, they are same built (i beleve, god (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1178241&postcount=62) said that). maybe different icos, different regsetttings, diferent pagepool, everythink U can do yourself with kitchen and regedit i think

you are correct phsnake...

If one file dosn't hava a MUI file, How can i create the mui file? :confused:

Create a blank dll file, or grab the dll and remove other then its resource module. and start modify the string, menu, etc... search the forum I believe someone already post about translate to another language/create mui's..

[helmi_c]

I tried to get broadcom bluetooth driver from your 1.1 WM6 rom to the kitchen but I failed. All the media files could not be played. Can you give me the broad com pack or some tips? thank u

yes, I didnt include the BroadComm stack driver OEM pack with the kitchen, since the stack has small but crazy issue, unable to answer phone with bt handsfree... still cant find time to learn the stack more been hell busy these days...

hopes I'll have some time to play with it more since I like Broadcomm so much better or may I said perfect, then M$ one...M$ Suck...

I need Help!

I would like to change this Reg Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00010409

To:
"Layout"=dword:00010410

TO have Italian Keyboard layout.

I'find this key in that file:
9ddf101d-7f93-4b1a-a338-435e457a125d.rgu

I have only change this file?
Or I've to do other ?

Sorry for my bad english.
Thnks.

[grayme]

some app use difference serial number/registry entry so some app need to input the serial number manualy after flashing the rom.

Is this purely because each of us will have a different serial or because it simply won't work?

[Laurentius26]

@Helmi_C

Thank you for your answers!
I will study and learn.

View more question:

So actualy the folders that are responsible for creating the rom are

LOC, OEM, ROM and Tools.

The OS folder is there for study?

If I take another nk.nba and place it in the ROM folder which initflash*.dat will be used, LOC or OEM? What about boot.rgu and packages.sof, how can I see what's happening there?

I Hope you find time to answer these questions please.

Tomorrow I try changing the nk.nba with another and flash the created rom, see what happens. (think I already tried but I'm not sure)

Best regards, Leo

[grayme]

If anyone is interested, I have made the following OEM to hide the bottom bar on the today screen.

Credit goes to vijay555 and bm_masri as seen here (http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=111738).

It seems to complain at first reset that it cannot find the softkeys but is fine after.

of course VGA, but it looks fu...ing slow

Problem with serial #. At first is more less non ethical (shame on me) and more important its against rules of this site 2 share SN, cracks ....
You can do it i think easy - make regexport before U register any app and after, compare them and the diff should register it.make package *.rgu & *.dsm (only one for all appz fo ex.) and U've got it. of course it works only if registration is in regs. some appz create a key file, lincence.key or similar, then u need to find that file and add to UR package

Thanks, I wasn't asking from a piracy point of view, just a practical one for my personal ROM.

I'd found the wisbar advance registry serial, but it failed on the createOS.exe stage on that rgu; maybe is was something in how it was produced...i'll have another go.

Plus I need to work out where it saves its settings...!

[grayme]

Does anyone know of a tool whereby you can export the registry after the first reset, then make your setting changes and export again. The tool would then highlight the changes between the two?

[phsnake]

I use task manager (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/helmi_c/TaskMgr.exe) from buzzdev site, i'll upload it 2 kitchen in a sec. and registry workshop 2 compare, better than windiff or other compare tools is that it is programmed to work with reg files, it can even read regs from yuour connected PDA, and saves ....... so maybe U dont need taskmgr

Anyone noticed Helmi's Vanilla version is missing some buttons or is it just the way I package it? If yes, anyone made an OEM folder to correct it?

Did you have createOS.exe still open when you tried to delete the temp folder (I found you have to close that to delete it).

[cktlcmd]

I've not noticed anything missing, what are you missing?

If you check Start>Settings>Button Settings. You will see button assignment for Button 1, Button 3, Press & Hold, and Button 8 (Backlight). We are missing Button 2. Anyway, I guess I'll have to correct it through the registry.

Thanks for the confirmation, saved me time on looking for what I messed up. One thing I like the Vanilla version is the memory and speed. Very fast, and close to 30MB after soft reset free memory.

You need to change ver.no. in xxx.nba thru hexedit tool read 1.post. What U mean with device name? PU10?

I saw the instruction, thanks, but it is a bit incomplete. Helmi mentioned to edit the shell.dll. file.

Device name from Start>Settings>System>About>2nd Tab>Device Name. I know I can always change it manually, but was just curious if I can do it through the ROM.

Hi,

Finally managed to convert a nk.nba to imgfs_raw_data.bin to dump directory and rebuild the dump directory to imgfs_raw_data.bin and than back to nk.nba.

I'm combining Scoter kitchen and Helmi_C's kitchen for study!

Here's my experience:

Create directory c:\dump
Copy the following tools to that directory from: C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\Tools

-BuildImgfs.exe
-make_imgfs.exe
-prepare_imgfs.exe
-viewimgfs.exe (C:\Scoter Kitchen\Utilities\TOOLS)
-And offcourse the nk.nba (C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\ROM)

Open a command window:

cd..
cd..
cd dump
c:\Dump>prepare_imgfs nk.nba -nosplit

-'imgfs_raw_data.bin' and 'imgfs_removed_data.bin' created!

Open the command window again if you closed it:

cd..
cd..
cd dump
c:\Dump>viewimgfs imgfs_raw_data.bin

Dump directory created!

Restart your computer for memory issues!
Again open the command window:

cd..
cd..
cd dump
c:\Dump>BuildImgfs

Imgfs_raw_data.bin will be overwritten.

c:\Dump>make_imgfs nk.nba

nk.nba will be overwritten.

Done!

I tryed to delete some ringtones out of the dump directory before I rebuilded with 'BuildImgfs.exe;

-Die Zauberflote .wma
-Flight of the bumblebee.wma
-Mozart Alla Turca.wma
-Pizzi-cato Polka.wma
-Pour Elise.wma
-Ringer 1.wma
-Ringer 4.wma
-Telephone ring 2.wma
-Telephone ring 3.wma

but buildimgfs.exe crashes when I do that!
If I look at them they are 'read only and hidden'

Would be great if somebody explains to me why I can't delete them!

Cheers, Leo :)

I think it is better to delete the files after using the extraction tool from Scoter Kitchen, before compiling them again to form the dump folder. The files are accessible in that format.

[Laurentius26]

Hi,

nk.nba to imgfs_raw_data.bin to dump,

deleted the ringtones and vista1.tsk

rebuilded with build_imgfs and make_imgfs to a working. nk.nba :D

Changed page pool to 6mb with Hex editor :D

Also in OEM directory of kitchen the ringtones are present :mad:

Deleted them, createOS.exe CreateRom.bat

Done!

Rom flashed and running :)

Still don't know how to convert *.hv files, will look tomorrow!

TBH, I wasn't looking at doing an OEM of AEB, but to get voice command to work on the right button.

Nearly there, but I think I lose the push and hold feature of record...

On another note, IM+ appears to keep losing the settings I put in for the accounts; does anyone use this and hence knows what I am doing wrong? :o

[Laurentius26]

Hi Grayme

I noticed you can find them in the OEM directory 'C:\Dev\C:\Dev\Helmi_UNI_WM6_Kitchen_R0\OEM\UNI_Ta mbahan\..' as well.

So I think you have to delete them there also and edit the 'initflashfiles.txt'.

Also 'user.hv' out of the dump directory has to be edited because there are some strings present also.

Currently I'm busy with RGUCOMP, I converted it to a user.txt file and edited the string, now I'm trying to convert back but it doesn't work, it gives some errors.

build user.hv
1. rename user.txt to boot.rgu
2. SET _Flatreleasedir=c:\dumphv
3. RGUCOMP -b
4. rename boot.hv to user.hv

The errors:

Buildboothive: <RGUCOMP> !ERROR unable to find required source file "Boot.rgu"

ERROR C:\MacB\private\winceos\COREOS\filesys\reg\reghive \.hive c line 877: FS: Registry Exception Handler

wmain: <RGUCOMP> !ERROR failed building BOOT hive

It makes me grazy haha... :D

Again, maybe somebody here knows what I'm doing wrong?

Hi. Made a ROM with Resco Explorer 2007 and SK Tools. Wierd thing happened. The Green crossbow 2nd splash screen was white. Went through the start up wizard and the today backgroung was also white. could not change any theme or background picture. It still remained white. Re-made a Rom without the SK tools and everything was back to normal.
Any thoughts?

Is there anyone out there that is willing to do a set of instructions of how to disassemble a ROM to remove the bits you don't want (so you can add in the bits you do ;))?

Leo, you seem closest to this with all your work?

Whilst on the subject, has anyone seen a route to easy customisation of the final install. What I mean is something like a program that on install reads a load of variables from a text file that you may keep on your SD card that it will read to install the email account(s), wifi logins, text sizes, etc. that you have to set up each time?

[Laurentius26]

Hi Graham,

I already disambled the rom took the ringtones out and gave it to the kitchen. I flashed and it worked, but when I want to select a ringtone, the registry entry is there (how do I say that, 'name of the ringtone'?) but the ringtone is deleted.

I'm still working on this:

default.hv <=> default.txt
user.hv <=> user.txt
RGUCOMP
dump
build_imgfs
make_imgfs

In user.hv I found some entries as well of the ringtones.

Something goes wrong there, hope Leies :o is helping me out some more,
this is the key to rom building I think. ;)

[Laurentius26]

Hi,

Didn't find it but I can remember (correct me if I'm wrong) that you gave me advise to use the Scoter kitchen to extract the dump directory.

I extracted the nk.nba into modules.
Dit you notice the filesmissing.txt, and the sys folder?
When I use 'viewimgfs' it's different.
So I think the Scoter kitchen is not made for that, it's made for another device, most of the tools are the same as in Helmi_C's kitchen.

Leo ;)

I deleted them from the OEM/UNI_Tambahan folder and also removed them from 5c4014d4-cd90-49b8-8f74-53e9d682ae04.rgu before CreateOS.exe, but they still show in the options if I can't select them! :mad:

I found that some rgu's failed and I just couldn't see why; I took one that worked and copied over the variable part and saved it over the offending file and that sorts it...

[Laurentius26]

Hi again Graham,

That's great news!

Can you explain this a bid more to me?
You are talking about rgu's, which ones?
The rgu in OEM\Uni_Tambahan?
How did you found out?

Please, let me know!

It was generally new rgu's for my OEMs (for registry tweaks, etc); if I made one from scratch it often just won't work, it looks fine to me...

So, I'll take an rgu that does work, open it in notepad, copy over all the variables leaving the REGEDIT4 and bottom blank row and save it as the required rgu.

The createOs works, but I still see the ringtones in this case... :(

[grayme]

....oh and I found it by just looking for the rgu in the folder with the wma's.

Hi,

Can anybody here tell me the shortest way to change wm5 -wm6 language with another.

Actually as a policy m$ will not make a patch lang file or an original rom for our native lang. (so is there a file to be translated and reinstalled? ) Anyways.

yes, I didnt include the BroadComm stack driver OEM pack with the kitchen, since the stack has small but crazy issue, unable to answer phone with bt handsfree... still cant find time to learn the stack more been hell busy these days...

hopes I'll have some time to play with it more since I like Broadcomm so much better or may I said perfect, then M$ one...M$ Suck...

Any chance you could please provide the Broadcomm Stack for those of us that don't use BT handsfree before you get chance to fix it?

Have a look here at look at the different devices:

2. Extract OEM Packages you need to OEM folder
3. Run CreateOS.exe and click the button
4. Run CreateROM.bat
5. HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe will start, click encode, then browse for nk.prj then click next.
6. Set ur operator in operator name text field, and click encode when u finish to convert nk.nba to nk.nbf, nk.nbf (ROM) will locate at DEV\[KithenName]\Temp folder.
7. ROMUpgradeUt.exe will start to update the rom to ur device or u might cancel if u planning to update latter.


after doing this, i have done no changes. only extract the rar-file to c:\dev.

If it was me, I would first try to make another ROM, if that fails I would redownload the kitchen and try again.

i have make 6 rom's but no one of this rom's would boot? i also have download the kitchen again. but nothing happens (3 roms build again!)

please can you help me?

I had the same problem: Just the standard out-of-the-box build would not boot on my UNI.

To do another test, I've downloaded the kitchen one more time, but this time extracted them on a different computer (one that doesn't even have active sync on it, but I don't think that matters).

Then the other thing I did on this computer was increasing the swap-file from a fixed 1gb to a fixed 2gb swapfile.

After a reboot, I started the build process again (like described on the wiki page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal_WM6_Kitchen_Helmi ).

The build went without any problems (except for the FAT16 message)

I flashed this ROM on my UNI and it's working !!

Next step is building my own custom ROM with as many stuff in there as I can sqeeze in.

[bulldozzer]

What is required for all the basic stuff to run on the 8525. After i run the createRom.bat after i add the project and click encode i get this any idea why and is it ok to send it to the phone whats the lagest file i can use. when i look in the temp folder i see a file thats about 60mb.

Hi!
nobody else have a idea for my problem??
I don't understand why it doesn't work.............
:mad:

My friend,

I suppose I know your problem. :)
Might be you are trying under Vista and I've observed that CreateOS.exe unable to decode the xxxxx.sof file under Vista. Surely it will work under XP.

[grayme]

I've read the wiki but must still admit to being a bit green on this kitchen thing.

I honestly don't understand the difference between a cooker and a developer if everyone is tweaking the same basic ROM?

Clearly a cooker would be someone that takes the basic kitchen, throws in an OEM or two and installs, but what about if someone takes a look into the various files and registry entries and tweaks/deletes/adds to these (in other words, what does a developer actually do)?

Leo has shown that it is possible with tools (created by people I would definitely call 'developers') to split up ROMs, mess with the insides and pop them back together, how far from cooking towards developing does this take him?

This is a genuine query, I'm happy using these excellent tools that others have kindly developed to create my own ROMs (and if that makes me a cooker then that is fine).


Helmi, on a similar vein, running sktools on the basic ROM shows quite a few entries in the registry to files that don't exist.

I've deleted them and have noticed no bad effects, but are they still there from the original programing by MS?

[grayme]

Arg, I've lost my phone keypad! :(

It's seems the same as the issue some had with Helmi WM6 V1.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291875&page=7), but all I have is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DialParser]
"DLL-MS"="tpcutil.dll"

Anyone able to help please? :o

[tomal]

Dear Helmi,

Heartiest thanks for the great job.
I've built my custom ROM without any problem. Now I would like to include PIE to my custom build. But cannot realize about how to do it, because PIE has some self-registered dll.

Your response will be highly appreciated.

[Laurentius26]

Hi Graham,

I'm back from a nice holiday in Slovakia.

To answer your question, I think the difference between a cooker and a developer is that if you have a clean official MS released OS and you manage to build in the device drivers for a specific device, you can call yourself a developer, or if you can build your own software for sertain needs, correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway keep on going the way you do now (I will certainly do ;) ) and in futher you will know.

Comparing registry hives is the most important I think to see the changes made by others and learn from that :rolleyes:

Anyway happy flashing :D

Greetings, Leo :)

Can I use this kitchen to cook other type of ppc's or pda's rom?such as atom or Dell X51?please answer my question,thanks!

[Thomas]

Hello,
I am quite new with my qtek 9000 and want to upgrade it to WM6 with GERMAN ROM and eplus is my provider.

I read a lot of this ver confusing stuff and tried to cook a rom from helmi: "helmi_uni_wm6_kitchen_r0".

All went good until I had to choose the operator and VERSION??? Also the language was not right WWD and not GER. And in addition, although I installed it to the right path (C:dev), the temp folder should have been created in c:\dev\helmi_uni_wm6_kitchen_r0\temp but it was always created in c:\dev\temp. I couldn't fix it...

One time he cannot find the fat or the file is too large. Clicking ok on second, the installer aborts because of wrong version number or language....

So I guess it is the wrong rom, the installer said, wrong Version or wrong language.

Where can I find a good old german rom, that is stabile and has lots of enjoing things in it??

Or please tell me what I do wrong. I just can't be THAT difficult... or??

THANXXX a LOT for helping...

Thomas

[grayme]

Helmi et al.

Could we make use of the new ROM build in the kitchen?

I'm sure someone out there can point out where I'm going wrong here :D :

I take the a complete ROM (nk.nbf) decode it to nk.nba (renaming it from nk.fat in the decoding program) and replaced the original Helmi nk.nba from the ROM folder with it?

The resulting ROM was made as normal, and boots up, but the left LED is contantly on green and the power button will not turn the Universal off...

Where have I gone wrong?

It is true that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing! :o

Apparently SYS = OS + LOC... other than that, I'm stumped too! :confused:

Hi Graham,

So you know now how to use the PKGTool isn't?

Next is how to seperate OS and LOC and how to recreate the packages.sof.

I'm searching everywhere but can't find anything about.
So now we're stuck on this:

boot.rgu
initflashfiles.dat
packages.sof

Would be great if anybody help us, but it looks like it's you and me only :(
I worked all day placing the packages in the write directions.
I've got *.rgu and *.dsm eyes now :mad:
But I know for sure there must be another tool to make live easier!

Which machine god will give us a hind?

It's enough for today.

Any ideas how you 've done it?

I've been looking for information about what each part of the kitchen does but cannot find what I am looking for (i.e. what the base ROM is used for and how,etc)

Which programs folder is flashing? Does your build overcome my green left LED on problem?

It's actually the "Programs" folder in the PPC (Start>Programs).
Interestingly I've discovered the problem, it's SD (storage) driver, which is causing this constant refreshment of the folder! I'm now trying to fix.

Anyway, I'll write a how to about the way I made it (ROM) working if I get a success.

Hi Ranju,

That's great news!

Do you have a answer to my question maybe?
I created a dump directory out of a nk.nba.
I use Bepe's PKGTool on it and it creates two subdirectorys.

-SYS
-OEM

I copy default.hv and transfer it to a boot.rgu
I copy packages.sof
I copy initflashfiles.dat

I replace all stuff in the kitchen to the wright folders.
But what about this SYS folder in the dump directory, which files go in OS and which in LOC, how do I seperate them :confused:

I would appriciate your help!

do it the hard way (the way i did :( )
just search for the dsm/rgu guid provided by helmi in his original kitchen against the dump....
the are mostly files like ....xxxx_409
(BTW i think LOC is Localization)
or if you can wait i will post the list of files for the loc and os tomorrow (too tired today....spent the entire day searching the files )
