[Updated 7/17/07@09:08 PST] Consolidated Kitchen Central - Build it YOUR way

[mattk_r]

Ed checked them, and they're 6mb.

Sorry for the delay guys, I put way too many irons in the fire...

Theloon has made excellent progress on v4. I'm gonna run a quick test flash and will post the updated kitchen shorly afterwards.

[mattk_r]

Hey guys, I know I said I'd keep this thread up, but without being able to test the hardware, it's really tough to manage the kitchen :( I hoped to be able to, buy it's just to dynamic.

Since theloon has done so much debugging of the new setup, I offered him to either maintain or start a new kitchen thread to keep this project going. We're contacting a mod to make it happen.

Please feel free to keep track of the Hermes kitchen thread I'm running, and use any of the programs that I have over there. It's all for everyone to use :)

[ranasrule]

any idea when 4.0 OEM will be uploaded along with the new beta ROM ??

I have v4.0 ready but found a few things I wanted to fix before releasing as well as adding a few things. Flashing 4.1 now for test. if you want I can pm you with 4.0 link.

[mydiablo]

i think it is worth waiting for 4.1? what features are you adding to 4.1? (or is it top secret? :D)

Any feature request? Be realistic!

[fuzzie]

Wow, this thread has 76 pages!

How do I find the latest WM6 here? I'm so late in the game, I would never be able to catch up with this thread!

Awesome stuff here.

This is by far the best supported system I have ever experienced.

I don't know if somebody else post this fix to resolve the issue with the connection of Messenger Live and the 318 OS rev 3.8 but this work for me:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Windows Live\Platform\Passport]

Did you correct this setting for correct working of sym.txt?

Thanks for your work!


my first though is to look through the OEM_LANG_409 .rgu entries.

Replace the entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
@="e0010809"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1]
@="e0010809"

With:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload]
@="e0010409"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1]
@="e0010409"

I missed the region setting

Can you please post a detailed list of the changes you made. I downloaded this and was completely confused as to what happened with this. Things seem to be missing and then there are extras, nothing appears to be as it seems. Not to jump on your case but I helped matt with this and now im lost. LOL

off the top of your head, what is missing?

[Narag]

In OEM\HTC Streaming Media is one more folder "HTC Streaming Media" with the same content. BuildOS.exe complains about missing imageinfo.bin, but after deletion of the folder everything seems to be OK (have to glash first :-)

Also the HW Keyboard fix I asked in my last post isn't there, therefore sym.txt is ignored :(

[theloon]

I started fixing issues using Matt's 4.0 beta, sorry I didn't know some of you were not "in the loop". This is going to be my starting point (cleaner than the older betas) I can clean it up even more if given the time. I own my own company and took time off to get this clean and usable.
Now I have to focus on my money maker, and ease off on my hobby.
Post you request and fixes and I will do what I can or I can just let you work things out for yourselves.
You have access to all the tools I have and you are using the files that I gave up my time and worked very hard on, if you can fix it, Feel Free!
By the way I get $150.00 an hour at my regular job so it takes priority!

[Merlin_reloaded]

Does the SlidingSound.exe do anything? Mine opens up, but the choose wavfile combo shows up blank.

btw, if you could get the slide sounds working, that would be the PERFECT addition to an already great ROM Kitchen.
:D

[theloon]

With that kind of attitude I will be glad to put your request at the top of the list!
But remember although a bunch of bells and whistles are nice and all but they can impact the speed of your wizard by executing extra commands, adding to the registry, taking up space in memory and so on.
A glass over filled can hold no more and is harder to drink from.

[thomassster]

I seem to notice my time zone keeps changing from pacific time zone to mountain time zone. When I change it back, it messes up my times. Not sure if this was the daylight savings bug, but I could deal with it. Just wondering if its happening with everyone else.

Are you using latest beta 4.1?
Did you let start up go thru customize procedure?
Can't guaranty car if you don't put oil in it!

[edgardito]

Where are the files?
i can not find them in the first post.
it says uploading.

I've downloaded a vanilla version of the WM6 (the one that was extracted and is made by MS). It was smooth and fast until i installed all kind of HTC touch plugins and apps. Now its really slow.

I uninstalled everything, but it is not like before, so i am reflashing. But i was looking to cook it a little bit since vanilla is fine but i prefer chocolate.

I just cant find the files, i have not sleep in 20 hours now, maybe is that.
Excuse my english, im spanish.

If all you need is a new kitchen please see post #764 on page #77 of this thread or if you do not want to read through and catch up on things, here you go: http://rapidshare.com/files/43828013/318_v4.1.rar.html

I do not have privileges to add to first post yet.

First of all, this kitchen is for everyone to work on and make fixes. I'm sure everyone greatly appreciates the efforts of those that work on this kitchen as much as I do.
I have a business and I know that my team mates are my heroes and I respect them greatly, just as I do anyone here. I cannot do it all by myself and rely on the dedication of others, contributers and tester alike.
I was asked to take on the responsibility of the up keep of this thread but maybe We should start a new one instead? We are working with a reworked base with a lot of bugs removed. My main reason for not starting a new thread was to give credit to those whom have contributed as set forth in the first post of this thread and the ones not mentioned but showed up later by posting later through out this thread.

And just to clarify things a little:

Taken from first page of thread.

Ten Days went by without a release so I decided to contribute because Matt no longer had a wizard to flash and he has enough on his plate with another thread.

Then Matt adds:
If you're up to it, would you be up to taking on the Wizard kitchen? I'm straining to keep up the Hermes, and just don't have time to work over here. If not - no worries. I was going to ask a moderator their opinion.

I replied with a yes!
Instead we should put it to a vote, maybe I can get voted off this island then I can just contribute what I want and when I want. What do y'all think?
Well that is my nickels worth. Got a nickel? Spend yours please!

More than likely you have selected to have your phone automatically update your timezone. This isn't a bug but how the cell companies actually do daylight savings. Since they broadcast that the timezone is now -7 for you, your phone displays a -7 TZ (Mountain Standard Time is -7). I'm in Mountain normally, but the towers are broadcasting -6 here, so on my phone it changes to Saskatchwan for me. This "problem" will go away when DST ends and the towers go back to Standard Time. The other solution is to turn off the setting that has your phone automatically change timezones.

Here's my input...

Forums are not conducive to trying to run a collaborative type project (which is what this has turned into). Instead this should project should move to the Wiki (or Sourceforge maybe). Updates can be posted in this thread to keep it rooted here, but by moving to something that allows collaboration would help with this.

In a forum, whoever starts a thread is the owner of it, and if they leave, then that thread will die (or it gets confusing as nobody can update the first post except for the owner or a mod). If you move this to a Wiki (Get a mod to update the first post to say all download info and stuff is now located on the wiki page), then anyone can update the pages for it. Then choose a place where people can post/upload contributions. You probably still want to have only a few people that can update the true source (to avoid someone putting bad stuff in either intentionally or by accident) but now this can be turned over and managed by multiple people.

The other option (if theloon is to stay the master of this) is to get the mods to change the first thread to say the download information is now found in post xxx and give a pointer to it that people can click on. This would be a post further into the thread that theloon (or whoever) can update... Messy, but would be an option if people feel they need to stay in this format only.

Dear The Loon,
i appreaciate the effort of the people that makes ROMS for everyone else. I am trying myself to understand more and more of the rom making process to help in anyway i can to the process.
Nevertheless, i was away for a month, and i see now that there is a new core (based on Ingenetics) and i would like to try it. But when i saw that there was about 78 pages of thread, i belived that the first post was going to contain the latest.
My bad, Sorry.

[zephus]

So for selecting a touch dll, what would one choose for maximum speed vs features and quality. I'm still a stylus user.

[Merlin_reloaded]

I'd say go with the non-TouchFLO dll. The TouchFLO interface is just eyecandy, IMHO.

[A2Z]

so this seems a popular rom but...
I see references in the responses to the first post where a complete download for the install should be but all I see is the compressed kitchenfiles.
( OEM.zip / 318_4.1) Is there no pack ready to install for this one like I am used to with Faria roms?
What rom is the creator of this thread using?

Also could not find the instuctions on how to build with this kitchen stuff, any pointers greatly appreciated

[theloon]

On my lunch break so I will make it short.
You should be able to use any kitchen you like, they are all based on tools created by others (NB2NBF, shelltool, etc...) they just have variations in the batch script that control their interactions with each other so some perform different functions, some do more than others. the main ingredient you need to change is ROM, SYS and OEM, familiarize yourself with different kitchens and use the one that suits your needs. If you want or need a pre-compiled rom there are plenty of them out there.
My goal is to help with the provision and maintenance of a great base rom and usable oem packages.

Just tried to combine Faria's kitchen with the OEM/ROM/SYS from this "bundle" without changing anything and got an error (attached )
strange - would expect that without changing it would at least build correctly ??

Ouch I get scared on this cookin stuff when I read this. Having trouble building the rom :-(
Hope you find some hints to unbrick your box

[zephus]

I'd say go with the non-TouchFLO dll. The TouchFLO interface is just eyecandy, IMHO.

So eyecandy as in you mean less performance for yummier looks? Or same performance for yummier looks.

My ex-girlfriend was eye-candy, doesn't mean she performed good

[masr1979]

.... my bad guys, dbl post.

[masr1979]

My ex-girlfriend was eye-candy, doesn't mean she performed good

The different parts of touch-flo do use up some resources, somewhere under 1MB give or take a few KB. I personally wanted to see it working just to satisfy my curiosity. If it didn't take up so much resources I would like to use it for the quickdialer, but alas that's not the case.... besides that touch.dll makes it way to uncomfortable to close apps for me (thank God for smartkey)

Just tried to combine Faria's kitchen with the OEM/ROM/SYS from this "bundle" without changing anything and got an error (attached )

In Faria's kitchen OS820000.nb (or something like that, I can't remember the exact name) is named FLASH.nb0 so you'll have to change the file's name in order for the kitchen to find it.

[Merlin_reloaded]

My ex-girlfriend was eye-candy, doesn't mean she performed good
OK, I admit you got me there :-)
But seriously, a ROM with TouchFLO that I cooked up took up more RAM than a non-TouchFLO ROM(3-4mb).
Speedwise, they are not that different, as far as I could see. But this kitchen builds ROMs that are the fastest I've tried.Period
I find that the Kaiser Home Plugin does almost everything TouchFLO does, so it gets my vote of approval.
My only quirk is with the Camera app, but that could be 'cos I added the OVxx950 patch,. Still testing.

So, to wrap up, it's your choice, mate.
masr1979: I agree, but for me, form follows function.(That's why I will not be getting an iPhone)

Let me see if I can help!
1) it looks like you left your phone so long that drained your main battery down so much that your phone no longer has sufficient power to power up the screen, you must find some way to charge battery (desktop charger with separate slot for battery) once you have accomplished this we can proceed.

[Merlin_reloaded]

Ouch, hope you did not do that on my advice;)

Try renaming 80040000-OS.nb to Flash.nb0. The img2nfs tool seems to be looking for Flash.nb0

Or, if you are REALLY brave, edit the BAT file (Notepad does the job.Just Right-click and hit edit).

Just my 0.02$

EDIT: Oops, masr1979 seems to have given the info too. Sorry.

theloon: Hey, you're back!
Now that you are here, any chance of getting the Touch camera to work on the Wizard?

[b.mann]

This has me very confused. First thing, exactly where do all the filed like the nk.nbf go? Do I need to dump it like other kitchens, and it there any specific reason why BuildOS will not work for me at all in this kitchen?

[theloon]

Well I spent the first part of this week getting the new packages and such together so I didn't complete the camera yet but it is not forgotten, I will post it as soon as it is ready!
I am uploading the kitchen I use and will post the link as soon as it is done, it has the read me in text format for your viewing pleasure so please read it, this kitchen was not written by me but is is so complete I could have not done better myself. Thank You Ed Hass!

Or, if BuildOS.exe does NOT start, download and install the .NET Framework 2 from Microsoft.com

Neato!
But a suggestion: Tag the file with what's inside. It is easier for everyone.

P.S: Is there anyway to convert OEM packages into CABs. I don't want to mess with my ROM yet ( It's sooo brand-new!)

[RevAtB]

Has anyone else had problems setting a .MID file as a ring tone?
It shows as available, I select it, but I cant play it and when the phone rings it automatically uses the windows default ring.
I know its a valid file, I used it on my previous WM6 roms. I have tried placing it in \Windows\ in \Windows\Rings in \My Documents\My Ringtones\ all with the same results. I can play the file with MediaPlayer just fine, even with PocketPlayer...but I cannot get the blasted thing to work as a ringtone...

I've attached the ringtone for others to test MIDI files...

[ExploreMN]

I had a similar problem using MP3's as ringtones. They wouldn't show up if I put them in the ringtones folder, but if I put them on the root of the device everything works fine. Try putting the file there and see if it works for you.

[pulyka]

hi
if i want to make OEM packages eg. from resco explorer, and i have a key for this- how can i integrate it (or soething like that) to the package?
you know i dont want to register it after installation (just because i am lazy:D )
ideas?
thx

I had the same problem some rom versions ago, but solved it by installing wmp. Had a feeling someway the rom didn't know how to handle mp3 files without wmp. The rom was displaying the mp3 files but could not play them.. reading this it could be just the registry fix....?!? which was solved by installing wmp

So far the only problem I've encountered has been the X-button not working. I'm unable to close applications when I tap or hold the X button. I'm trying to isolate the issue to see if it may be related to an option I either unchecked or checked.

This happens with 1.0 and 1.5.

i use spb pocket plus, that always closes the apps, and it has more super functions.

[thomassster]

anyone want to setup up a mirror for 4.1? I keep getting disconnected off rapidshare. Or maybe split up the OEM and OS.

[akarnik]

I accidently started "softkey" which let you remap the two soft keys. Once you start it, you cant cancel out..as a result my left soft which originally launched the cube, now launches something else. "Cube" is not an option in the list of programs to launch...so my question is:
How do i remap any of my keys to launch the cube? or how do i launch the cube, in some other way?

[pulyka]

that was my problem also, yesterday.
this bug in NBD 7.9 had been fixed.
try it:)
or, search APlauncher.exe in \windows, and make a shortcut to startmenu \programs, and then you can use it for softkey.

other:
unfortunately this and this wont worked.
k-jam_cab_delete_disable_179.cab
htc_wiz_nodelete_cabs.cab
:(
so can anybody give me a working one please?

this method worked perfectly...renaming ApLauncher.lnk to Cube make it show up as "Cube" for my left soft key on the today screen now.

thanks!

I'm also having this problem without installing X-button. The X/OK button just doesn't work right. The only fix I've found so far is to use non-touchflo configurations.

theloon, have you noticed any problems with the X/OK buttons? I've tried two different kitchens, hard resets, and always flashing back to the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM inbetween tries.

[b.mann]

Could you please give the error messages?

Or, if BuildOS.exe does NOT start, download and install the .NET Framework 2 from Microsoft.com

I've been able to use Build OS in other kitchens without any problem, it just telle me BuildOS.exe has encountered an error and must be closed... something close to that.

@ kegobeer
I mean this kitchen, where do I put the OEM folders and my base ROM? Others usually have specific places where they go

[kegobeer]

The kitchen theloon posted (v1.3) has placeholder directories for OEM, ROM, and SYS. Drag and drop - that's all there is to it. There's also a readme.txt file for you.

[xeno1]

I must have missed something, in the first thread it says that both the .318 OS and the OEM pack were updated to version 4.0 on the 17th and thomassster mentions version 4.1 in a post above, but the links in the first thread still say OS ver. 3.8 - uploading and also OEM ver. 3.9 - uploading. I was out of town for a few days and wasn't able to keep up with this thread while I was gone, but I went back 3 or 4 pages looking to see if the links were posted there, but didn't find them. Did I not go back far enough or did I just completely miss them?

Nevermind, found it. Missed it by 1 page.

[nycelitemaster]

OS 3.7 has a bug with theme size limitation, OS 3.4 Loads it fine, VGA and QVGA Size themes, while OS 3.7 doesn't load. NO X-Button in the builds. What can be replaced or subsituted from OS 3.4 to 3.7 so it can work. If someone knows please let me know. Thanks

[thomassster]

I'm sure it's a very good application, but installing it won't help isolate and solve the X-button problem.

I just notice on the other thread about screen alignment and loosening the screws. This seem to work okay and maybe some people might want to test it out. My X button seems to be more accurate with the loose screws.

[icezar]

:eek:
This is nonsense, my wizard has no problem with X button on NBD 7.9.
So this issue can be fixed by software. I will not advice anyone to start messing with the hardware.

[Tony Simmonds]

Dear TheLoon,

My grateful thanks for taking over the maintenance of this kitchen.

I downloaded version 4.1, and noticed the following :

Some customisation appears initially and after a hard reset. The customisation contains Cingular settings, ContactsAdd, and .tsk files. Also the HTC Touch dialer is not showing in the Enter Pin screen, but does show when dialling.

Regards

Tony

[makpande]

I just notice on the other thread about screen alignment and loosening the screws. This seem to work okay and maybe some people might want to test it out. My X button seems to be more accurate with the loose screws.
For those having screen problem - Please do not play with your hardware. It is not hardware problem. I load this kitchen , I get the problem,. I flash NBD problem is gone. I did it many time to confirm.

[tangmonkey]

Am I just blind, or are there no download links for the newest version of the OEM an OS packs?

[thomassster]

So with the touch dlls, it seems as if I press the X button lightly, my applications close down fine. When I press it hard, it does some pretty funky things. Does anyone else work the same way?

[Cing 8125]

No your just not reading enough,See post 780

[theloon]

I'm kinda back, summer time is busy time for me in my normal profession, so I will be dropping in and out of here as much as I can. Just to let everyone know I have been working on bringing in some new packages but what I have to work with needs a lot of fixing just to keep from killing my phone, so I would not begin to post here yet. You wouldn't like me if I did! I will take time to go back and read the post to pick up on request and fixes as time permits.

[shadezero]

Just a quick question.

If I put an Empty Extended ROM, will that unused space become part of my storage/system memory?

[Cing 8125]

Anyone else having this problem?
I consider the ROM I built lite (23.74 MB) only thing added is RL Today (puts a large time display on the screen) & BT Audio Toggle.
This is the 3rd variation I have built, I had a problem the other day when I updated the radio and thought that was the problem. Since than I noticed after I install a new ROM and put my settings the way I like ( Today screen, Start menu, background, etc). When I do a soft reset it hangs on the 3rd splash screen, the blue green windows mobile one. I have to keep pressing the soft reset and have pulled the battery, it takes about 10 times and than finally starts up. the last time the clock was wrong, battery status & RL Clock was missing on the today screen.
I like the ROM I built and would like to keep using it if it wasn't for this problem.

anyone seen anything like this? or have a solution.

[Tony Simmonds]

Dear Cing

If you added BatteryStatus 218, and used TrayLaunch, this "feature" will happen. You need BatteryStatus 195 if you are using TrayLaunch.

Regards

Tony

[Cing 8125]

Yes the version that was in the OEM package is 218, and I am using tray launch.
I will try using 195.

Thanks a bunch, this was making me nuts.

[shadezero]

Another Q,

Which key do I enable in the registry...so that when I am making a text message I can just put the name in the "To:" Field, and it will search through the contacts?

As of right now, I have to goto Menu --> Add Recipient, Which is somewhat annoying.

Also, it seems the Kaiser Today Plugin doesn't seem to install properly? It just installs the regular home plugin (b/w, not color)

The color icons are a modification from someone else, not the original.
Check the Kaiser thread. I can incorporate them in another package if you would like
or you could do it yourself and post a link and I will add it to the next build.

[shadezero]

They look good, if u can incorporate it that would be great.

Another thing though, if you could add "autocomplete" for text messages, registry tweak on, that would be nice.

[Russ741]

Me thinks I have done a really good job of thinking I knew what I was doing here. You all know the guy/gal that knows just enough to be dangerous? Right at the moment, that would be me...
So here is the situation... I have flashed my 8125 about a dozen times now, either with pre-built ROM or using Faria's Kitchen. With all the cool new stuff in the "touched" versions I wanted to get a bit more bang for my buck so I downloaded and Kitchen Centeral 4.1 and started playing around. I added back some of the "please test" packages, put in the color Today plug in, etc. The ROM builds fine, no errors, loads fine, no errors but OMG the phone goes straight to H*** when I turn it on. If any of you fantasitic hyper-smart people out there can find the error of my ways I would be very greatful.

Here are the build specs and the post build condition:
Spec:
IPL/SPL: 2.26 (t-mobile build) tried IPL/SPL:3.08 too.
GSM: 2.19.11
8125 G3

Post Build condtion:
PC reports USB not recognized, reboot PC fixes that.
8125 will not run ANY CAB file, simply reports unsuccessfull
PC will not allow activeSync partnership, stays as guest (ActiveSync 4.5)
and now the really cool part...
If I open the launcher and tap the "set backlight" button, the whole phone locks up and will stay that way until I soft reset or pull the battery.
If I try to re-flash (to anything, even just run the splash update) the updater program will error saying it cant create the file. I have to go to bootloader mode to re-flash. Then reboot the PC to re-establish connection.

On a completely minor issue, the HTC audio plugin doesnt show up on the today screen although it is in programs.

Fortunately I have been able to re-flash back to a known good ROM in each case. I have tried several attempts at the build with various OEM options and always get the same result.

Thanks for your support!

I had a very similar situation when I built. I tried reflashing and actually had it hang and give an error message while flashing. NBD, I just put it into boot loader and then reflashed with my last working .nbf (from v3.6 of the OEM and pack)

I was going to give it another whirl this weekend.

thanks DiveNut, at least I'm not the only one out here that has experianced this. Now if I can just figure out why the backlight shortcut in the launcher lockes up the phone and why I cant load any CAB files.... Oh and of course why the tempremental weather program doesnt like the XML file.

Russ741
The Adjust Backlight has never worked for me, and I don't really care. So it takes 3 taps instead of one...big deal.


By the way, if you are trying to use the HTC Home Plugin with the weather file ( try the world weather file ,NOT from the "needs work" folder), check if PIE works. If not, try to cancel the customization procedure after a HR, that should do the trick.

Thanks

First off, a disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything you mess up, if your house burns down/up, bla bla bla.:)
:cool:
Now that we got it out of the way, it's down to business.

1. Open up the plugin folder, and look for a file with the extension *.rgu ( the part before the .rgu can and will be different)

2. Using notepad or a similar text editor, open it up.
Use Find to look for this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\0]
There should be another 8 lines after this with the last number from 1 to 8

e.g.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\1]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\2]
................
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\8]

3: Select any one of these and insert the following immediately after the headers (a.k.a [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\H........)

"DispName"=" HTC AudioManager"

"Path"="\\Windows\\AudioManager.exe"

"Type"=dword:1

"Uptime"="2007,06,13,5,31,15"

<----------------end of copy region----------->


4. Edit these lines. This is only an example
Leave the text before the = sign as it is. Alter the parameters as you like, but only inside the dbl-quotes
Explanation of the parameters
i) Dispname is the name of the application

ii) Path is, well, the path of the application. Should be in Windows, but can be anywhere else. Make sure to use TWO //s instead of one

iii)Leave the Type value as it is

iv)I haven't figured out uptime yet, but I think it's a text value saying WHEN you added the shortcut.

Save it, and you should be ready to go.



:cool: P.S : If there is text after the header, be sure to remove it all before adding the new stuff. I have seen some nasty complications.
:eek: IMPORTANT: Add a carriage-return-linefeed (hit the enter key) after the values, or you will mess up the RGU compiler.

By the way, These instructions are copyright by me. All your freedom to copy are belong to us.

See Post #780, but I am working on ver4.2 and it may take a little longer than I had intended because my time is so limited at the present.

[its right]

my kitchen decline any addings, i think there is a limit for the files.

because it heppened for me every time i want to cook.

when the buldimgs.exe wants to end there is a window appears and telling me there is a problem and i have to close it, when i remove the last package i added it will going well, the problem wasn't from the same package because i used many of packages to add but the same problem.

any idea??

[xeno1]

It sounds to me like maybe you're doing something wrong when you're adding your files to your kitchen. Does each file have a .dsm file, a .rgu file (only needed if it needs to add registery settings) and an initflashfiles? The other thing that I can think of that could cause this is if you built all of the packages yourself, did you get a different UUI or GUI number for each package that you created?

i released 3 roms before here and other places, so don't worry about creating packages.

i told you, i used more than 5 packages to add (built by me and by others) the same problem, which means something like limit i think or an issue with buildimgs.exe, do you think there is something wrong with the same packages im using?? ( i mean the packages which the kitchen accepted them before adding packages more )

tnx for replying :)

[its right]

also when i remove packages and adding the same packages which have issues, the kitchen accept them (confused think)

Sorry its right, I must have missed that post and was just touching on the usual reasons for the kitchen not accepting a new package.

I guess the best way to find out if the kitchen has a size limit would be to go in and pull out a bunch of packages that you know you aren't going to use and see if it allows you to use them after that. I know that there probably is a limit to the number of packages you can actually add to a rom, but I wouldn't think only adding 5 of them would be enough to hit that limit unless you're adding everything else in the entire kitchen to it.

if i pull out them then run the buildimgs.exe, will run w/o problems, when i put the packages which don't accepted before, also will run w/o problem, and if i put again the files which i pull out, will show me the error message.

for more details, BuildOS.exe runs w/o any problems, the problem when i start buldimgs.exe, will adding all the files, when it arrives to the end of files, it stopped then showing " there is a problem with Buildimgs.exe app, and you have to close it ". im using faria and core kitchens, the same problem, but core one will do everything right, but while upgrading the device will stop on 95~98% :eek: .

tnx again mr.xeno1

[xeno1]

Hmm, you've got me. Maybe you are hitting the limit for the number of files that can be cooked in to the ROM. Did you ever think about creating an extended ROM and just putting the cab files of the packages that you want to add in to it?

[its right]

so there are a limit for the files!!!

if there do you think dsm files counted as file!!
the extended rom usless for me and also for g4 users :confused:

[SilverSurfR]

Oh and of course why the tempremental weather program doesnt like the XML file.


Judging from my poking around, there seems to be 2 formats to the way these XML files are formated. So depending on if you are using the non-Kaiser or Kaiser plugin they won't be interchangable.

snippet of Kaiser XML

<city name="AK - Anchorage" loca="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Birmingham" loca="NAM|US|AL|BIRMINGHAM" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Huntsville" loca="NAM|US|AL|HUNTSVILLE" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Mobile" loca="NAM|US|AL|MOBILE" land="United States"/>


snippet of non-Kaiser XML

<city name="US - AK - Anchorage" locationcode="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE"/>
<city name="US - AL - Birmingham" locationcode="NAM|US|AL|BIRMINGHAM"/>
<city name="US - AL - Huntsville" locationcode="NAM|US|AL|HUNTSVILLE"/>
<city name="US - AL - Mobile" locationcode="NAM|US|AL|MOBILE"/>


I know that there probably is a limit to the number of packages you can actually add to a rom, but I wouldn't think only adding 5 of them would be enough to hit that limit unless you're adding everything else in the entire kitchen to it.

it sounds to me like he may be trying to overload the rom. In my personal experience (YMMV) I've found that buildimgs error always happened when I tried to add too many packages. Now I'm not quite sure if he means ANY 5 packages, or 5 specific packages. 5 packages doesn't seem like much, but depending on what they are, I'd say it can add up rather quickly. Especially with packages like touch, transcriber, MIDlet, and Voicecommand to name a few.

[xeno1]

It looks like there is a limit, especially if you've tried it in more than one kitchen and it does the same thing. I figured there was, but I didn't figure that you could hit it so easily. Looks like the best thing for you to do would be to pull out the packages that you find the most useless and replace them with the packages that you really want to add. I myself would also pull the packages out that are for apps that get updated constantly, such as things like batterystatus, etc.

[xeno1]

No problem, wish I could have helped more. One other thing that may help you add a few more packages would be to compress the files. I can't help you out there though, I don't have any idea how to do that.

the problem with the number of files to be dumped, if the problem with the size i can do compressions because i have the optimizer app and did it before.

[xeno1]

Unfortunately I don't know if the limit is placed on the number of files or on the total size of all of the apps combined. I would think it would be on the total size of all the apps combined and doing a little compression might help you sneak in an extra package or two. I guess that would all depend on how much you can get the files compressed and how large the files are that you that you try to sneak in. Theloon or silversurfer might be able to help you out with that more than I can.

from core kitchen

i tried to compress but many issues appear with the apps compressed, like before i hate the compression process, if it useful, HTC will do it

[xeno1]

Sorry its right, I'm out of ideas. I can't think of any other way to try to put more packages in other than to give up a few of the less used packages. If I think of anything else I'll definitely let you know.

Thanks for letting me know where the compression tool was, I've only played with the core kitchen a little and I didn't realize that was in there. From what I've read from some of the cooks on here it must be pretty difficult to compress a file the right way to work in a kitchen. I think I'm going to have to do some playing with the compression tool and see what I can figure out when I get the chance.

[theloon]

:D I have been working on a completely new build of Ver 318 for the "Consolidated Kitchen Central - Build it YOUR way" kitchen and need some brave souls to beta test what I have so far. Anyone interested can PM me for the link. This beta contains these fixes and add ins:

Back light no longer freezes
Spelling/Word completion now works
5 Tab Home screen w/favorite people dialer
Home screen is now more transparent

You should be able to add any packages you like, if you have any problems make sure you don't have duplicate .rgu and .dsm
Now you should really be able to "build it the way you like".

I haven't fully incorporated the "The Cube", yet.

:D I have been working on a completely new build of Ver 318 for the "Consolidated Kitchen Central - Build it YOUR way" kitchen and need some brave souls to beta test what I have so far. Anyone interested can PM me for the link. This beta contains these fixes and add ins:

Back light no longer freezes
Spelling/Word completion now works
5 Tab Home screen w/favorite people dialer
Home screen is now more transparent

You should be able to add any packages you like, if you have any problems make sure you don't have duplicate .rgu and .dsm
Now you should really be able to "build it the way you like".

I haven't fully incorporated the "The Cube", yet.

OK Loon... you got one victim... um.. I mean volunteer... you said PM for the link, but you posted a link too?

Also, did you include the color verision of the today plugin?

If you have it just include it in the OEM folder, make sure rgu and dsm or not dup of orig one or you will have problems building.

this was posted elsewhere on this thread but here it is again:

HTC_Home_Plugin_Color

It looks MUCH more professional than the grey/transparent icons and it does work in the kitchen! The only issue I had with this module is the weather XML file. It didn't want to recognize it.

Ooops... Failed to RTFM... sorry folks.. went and searched this board again and am trying to work it out

[Russ741]

Judging from my poking around, there seems to be 2 formats to the way these XML files are formated. So depending on if you are using the non-Kaiser or Kaiser plugin they won't be interchangable.

snippet of Kaiser XML

<city name="AK - Anchorage" loca="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Birmingham" loca="NAM|US|AL|BIRMINGHAM" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Huntsville" loca="NAM|US|AL|HUNTSVILLE" land="United States"/>
<city name="AL - Mobile" loca="NAM|US|AL|MOBILE" land="United States"/>



snippet of non-Kaiser XML

<city name="US - AK - Anchorage" locationcode="NAM|US|AK|ANCHORAGE"/>
<city name="US - AL - Birmingham" locationcode="NAM|US|AL|BIRMINGHAM"/>
<city name="US - AL - Huntsville" locationcode="NAM|US|AL|HUNTSVILLE"/>
<city name="US - AL - Mobile" locationcode="NAM|US|AL|MOBILE"/>







I checked the format of the XML file I was using for US cities in the OEM folder, it was not the correct format. I just finished editing the file to the Kaiser version. I will see what happens when I try a build tomorrow.

thanks!!!!!!

This thread is for the consolidated kichen, you use a kitchen to build full ROM images for your phone. If all you need is the applications, you need to find the .CAB files in the correct thread.

Trying out the 5.0 beta and I was successfully able to load the rom. Couple problems.

When I did a soft reset, I was stuck on the third green windows mobile splash screen. Tried reseting couple times, didn't work, so I reflashed an old rom.

The rom is a little faster than the older version, but there is no cube, which I really like.

Cube softkey is still there, so hopefully it can be added later.

IE doesn't seem to work well with my wifi.

Below is my personal opinion...not to be taken negatively since I do appreciate all the work of mattk_r and theloon
I'm not use to all those little changes like the schwing sounds of the menu, the power icon on the top right when charging, and the battery icon replacing the clock. I liked it the way when things were standard.

I did a SR BEFORE the customization(after a hard reset), and IE works fine now

I've downloaded this new beta and it seems great however i wasn't able to find the 10 buttons comm manager, there's only the 8 button touch one. Do you think i can use the comm manager from the older kitchen?


BTW: thanks for your work!

[epimazzo]

Risidoro,

I guess so. I've been doing that as I have different packages in many different places. I mean, kitchens!:p

At least..up to now, I haven't had any critical issues by doing this way. I think you can go for it!:D

When designing this kitchen I took into consideration that many of you would like to incorporate your own favorite OEM packages, with so many different ones out there plus the ability to mix things up and create your own (like with changing the home screen grfx) I tried to strip out all components and place them in there proper packages in an attempt to eliminate orphaned files in the OS.
My office is in my home so I worked on things back and forth in conjunction with my regular job, so I admit I probably missed some things that is why this is called a beta. I am already aware of a few glitches and working on them now. If you find a bug Please report it!

I especially want to thank Russ741, his testing and reporting practices have been the fundamental building grounds for this release, I could not have done this without members like him.:D

My next project is to build a fully working camera 4.11 (touch version) if it is possible.:)

Joe,

Once you build the .nb file you have to flash it to the phone, I HIGHLY recommend you read this thread before you do ANYTHING!!!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613

I would hate to see you turn your wizard into a paperweight.

Joe,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Take a look at the attached .PDF from Faria. It shows you where to plug in your extended ROM. Just be careful, as I found out the hard way, if you exceed ~53M of total ROM you will not have a working phone after the flash. It is a recoverable condition, just annoying.

edit: Ok so Faria's PDF is too big to post here is the link instead: ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/WIZARD/ROMS/Faria%20WM6%20ROM%20Kitchen.pdf

I am doing a closed beta test if all goes as well as I think it will, I'll be releasing Ver5.2.3 that contains new and updated packages, bringing back a couple of clasic games and too few bugs to mention!:D
at that point I will upload to a few mirrors.

Update: Latest Version! Ver5.2.4

Release contains more bug fixes plus:
6 tab home screen working properly
Tetris and Freecell for those that like the classics
Reworked Media Player.

See first page of Beta Testers Needed thread.:D

[theloon]

I will no longer be posting links and I will be pulling links to older versions. I've got over 100 downloads of each of my kitchens
and very few testers posting so from now own I will make my beta kitchen by invite/request only. If you test and all is Ok then please post "All Ok" or something to that effect, those 2 words is all it will take to keep you active in testing.
These rules do not apply to those of you that have tested and posted!
FYI Ver5.2.5 is ready!:D

[joemanb]

does anyone know why when you install a cab file on a rom created by this kitchen it refuses to put shortcuts into \windows\favorites?

when I install weather watcher I get 2 shortcuts in windows\programs. one of then is supposed to go in windows\favorites.

every other rom I've installed weather watcher on puts the shortcut into windows\favorites like its supposed to.

WTF?

[ms9]

not sure if this will help anyone

i had problems surfing the web in IE when using using wifi. I got an IP and DNS was resolving but IE would not make the connection..Did the whole My Work / ISP settings thing.. still no go..

All other internet apps like ftp and even the HTC weather thing was able to access the internet via wifi.. IE and Live were the only problems.. (so far ;-)

I ended up deleting "Cingular_MediaNet.cab" from the kitchen.. and did the OS build again.

Works great now..

I think what was happening before is that IE preferred using the cingular settings even if you change it in the settings..

[bachikho]

i use OEM Pack v3.7 with 318 OS v3.6 but sometimes i get an error: i can only start my PIE after a soft reset, what's wrong and what can i do?

[theloon]

I have continued this kitchen on the "Beta Testers Needed" thread.

[ms9]

by the way.. i was using Ver5.1.2 kitchen in ref to my earlier post

other than having to remove Cingular_MediaNet.cab from the OEMOPERATORS folder, all is OK.. :-) i'll be using this build for a while...

Live and PIE is working fine now.. with wifi..
