[REF] Cooking Class Class of 2008/09 [ONLINE]

[Noonski]

PKG tool is reporting several rgu files missing. The rom does not recompile correctly, ie hangs on first bootscreen.
Because this is a working rom the registry changes would have had to be
done elsewhere, I figured.
Other roms I looked at do not have the rgu file in question, but PKG tool runs fine and the rom works.

Is there something simple I am missing?

Which Rom are you using as a Base?

And which RGU is missing so whe can check what it's for.

Is the RGU in the missing folder?

And when you just flash the Rom is the RGU in the windows folder?

[pkoper]

I am using swiftblades V2.10 as base and the following rgu's are reported missing...

The files are not in the missing folder and other roms I used as base did not contain them either.

thanks

[Noonski]

I am using swiftblades V2.10 as base and the following rgu's are reported missing...


That alone says it all.

When you extract an allready custom cooked rom the DSM files don't always get repopulated.

In a way that doesn't matter for flasher.

the DSM tells BUILDOS where and wich files are in the ROM and where to put them.

Not rebuilding the DSM files will safe some files in Windows folder.

I'm trying to rebuild my DSM files as much as posible
(i take out iniyflashes.txt and option.xml first, Then empty the information in the DSM file, then drop the Package folder onto BUILDSM.exe)

But it becomes a problem because you can't do this with Package folders that contain Modules (Folders with the name of the files inside them, ussually dll or exe files)

So you miss out on some important registry settings. It's best to work from a stock base ar the vanilla i made specificly to not get missing files after re extracting.

Or you can ask Swiftblade to rebuild the DSM files.

But it's best to get in the dirty and start from scratch and own you ROM.
Search for packages and make your own.

So the missing files are from added or modified Packages for his rom.

[evermick]

Hey Xtriny, which one is new 2.20ROM? Noon's one?
http://rapidshare.com/files/68804210/RUU_signed.zip <==?

Advise please... anyone?

[Noonski]

Advise please... anyone?

Jep My version is the newest one.

But it's based on Xtriny's full version but i don't believe he actually posted it to a full thread yet. it's os 5.2.1933.

Big difference is that HTC now has found new ways to force some stuff starting up on us without using the StartUp folder. In a way it's safer also.

[tiggerbcn]

Has anybody put in a rom the program PocketCm Keyboard?, I have tried to put it in the rom that I am cooking but there is no way, not if it is necessary to do any modification in the registry that it is not known since in the alone cab of installation there is a key of registry that is this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"SuggAutoCorr"=dword:0
and putting it it does not leave in the SIP to be able to choose this keyboard.
Thank you

Thats ok. The Vanilla works fine for me, I will stick with that one.

Can you recommend some reading on porting to another language? As the base stays the same, it would just be some files that need replacing??????

Is this something one would do everytime when adding something to the rom? Even with ready made downloaded packages?

Please correct me if wrong....

In regards to the registry we have the *.rgu files and the default.hv. If there is an entry both files, which one is used to create the registry? Will it just corrupt or will something else happen.

Does it play a role where you add registry entries, ie rgu or default.hv? Creating my own packages I dump the registry after an install to see what values were added. Do I need to make a rgu to add into the rom???

thanks

RGU in OEM folders get parsed after Sys rgu's i think. And they both simply overwrite replace the .hv values.

Leave the .hv files alone unless your just removing whole lines.

All you need to do is make empty folder in OEM with empty .DSM file with UID number and .RGU with same UID number. Safe as Unicode and don't forget the empty line.

I love the way you can export the registries as wince in the correct format using phm regedit.

[tiggerbcn]

Is it known anybody in that file defines the program NetworkWizard?. The fact is that I have looked in initflashfiles, default.hv, user.hv, etc ... and do not find as it puts itself on the file of direct access Settings/Connections/NetworkWizard.
Thank you

It's a .CPL file any of these that you drop into the windows folder withou registry settings into without using initflashes will go into windows and show in Settings> SysteM. But since there are allready registry settings in rom from HTC it will show up in Connections ;)


I would never have expected two months ago that i'd be paid hacking into WinCe devices not even knowing what the F i'm doing.
So i'm learning a lot about the start up process lately. And all of it's very usefull for my hobby to.

Bad thing is you can't make a link to them directly but if you check my new SPC add on pack you can see how i made the links with Icons.

Noonski,
Are you referring to your Glass ROM published Wednesday?
I have a somehow related query: where can I find any applications that I install on top of your ROM? If I switch to the classic WM start menu I can find them in the 'Programs' folder but when using Quickmenu (by far the preferred option) they aren't visible. I am guessing this is probably because you've told Quickmenu to look for a custom Programs folder...

Part of that method is that you shoulnd't need tom install anything at all.

I had a small explanation somewhere what is needed to check if an app can run in this manner. What do you need to get installed?
I'll check if this can be made into an Install once pack.

I've given it some thought and you are right; there really is no need to install any additional apps. The one I was HTC Home Customiser because I like to use a specific icon set and re-arrange the tabs but I just ended up overwriting the image files and editing the registry keys: much simpler and less system resources involved. Great ROM by the way!

[Swiftblade]

Hey Noonski,

Just wanted to bring this wonderful thread up for those interested in cooking their own Elf ROMs!

IMHO This should be a Sticky! :D

Cheers, Swiftblade

[alexanders]

I Try to extract the ROM with the file in SOUrce folder anda presse comand DUMPROM but a folder is empyt anda nothing happens!!! Help me?

[suracha]

I can not flash any built ROM that OS.nb size is smaller than 50MB.

Is there any limitation about the OS.nb size and how can I break that limitation?

^^ I agree

[yannick85]

Thank you for this tutorial. Is it possible to implement a navigation program for my proper use. Cause the RAM is not big and I have some free space on my ROM memory that I don't use....

Just for my own use, I will not post the ROM

[vibranze]

Hello Guys,

I'm the new owner of HTC XL/Elfin and wanna join/participate in this class.:)

First of all, thanks to Noonski for creating this thread as a medium for all of us to learn how to cook/customize ROM for Elf/Elfin.

Got some questions regarding the cooking tutorial provided by Noonski.

1. I'm using Blue Elfin v3.0 as a based ROM and what should I do after I followed this instruction?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1599608&postcount=73

2. In the instruction, it mentioned RUU_Signed.nbh and since SwiftBlade use Blue_ELFin_ROM_V3.nbh as a filename, can I just copy it to Source folder and rename it accordingly?

3. Before I asked the ques no.1, I took a step ahead by doing HyperCore\Panel\Build\BuildOS, performed option 1 & 2 successfully. When it came to option 3, I choose Os.nbh under "System", Elf as "Device"
and left the other options as it is. Is it correct?

4. If the no.3 is correct, then can I just copy back the newly created RUU_Signed.nbh back to Blue Elfin v3.0 RUU folder, rename it and execute start.bat?

Kindly advise.

Cheers,
Vibranze

[vibranze]

Hi Noonski,


Now here's another good one. Does anyone know which registry settings need to be changed to have the Longpress of red dialer endkey open a specific exe file. Because the new EndKey.exe App is of no real use if it can't be mapped to that long press.

But I thought in HTC EndKey, there is a setting for a "Long Press End Key" that we can configure it?

Same goes for long press of power key. I would like to map psShutXP to that......

Did you try AE Button Plus?

Cheers,
Vibranze

[vippie]

2. In the instruction, it mentioned RUU_Signed.nbh and since SwiftBlade use Blue_ELFin_ROM_V3.nbh as a filename, can I just copy it to Source folder and rename it accordingly?


These instructions were written when when there was no Elfin yet. I don't know if everything is compatible with the Elfin. Maybe you will need a Elfin base rom or RUU, I don't know. Maybe you can ask Swiftblade or Cloudyfa about the differences between Elf and Elfin/ElfXL cooking.

[warriorvibhu]

hey ppl someone help me i am not able to download any of the files posted by noonski in the initial posts as they aer ftp i dont know tried using ftp clients but no use...

@ noonski Can you plzz attach them here esp ALK.zip and RUU.zip

[NetrunnerAT]

I am Building my first OEM Pack in the moment. Point 1-16 are no problem.

How can i define the place for the files in the rom?

[cstewart]

It is probably obvious by those who have followed Noonski's work, but he has been absent on the forum since early December (Dec 7, 2007). He said that that he had been consumed by the cooking and he needed to get some things in order.

Noonski made valuable contributions of innovative tools, concepts, and of course serious amounts of time. I hope that he will again find his way back to XDA-Developers.

Hey man long time where are you noonski.......

[Carty]

I can not flash any built ROM that OS.nb size is smaller than 50MB.

Is there any limitation about the OS.nb size and how can I break that limitation?

Anyone? Im searching for this too..

Regards,
Carty..

[warriorvibhu]

Well first of course the above.
Extracting A Rom.
Then taken from Anichillus tutorial:
1.BUILD-ing :

·Now that you have dumped your first ROM, you must learn how to Build it back to the flash-able so that you may flash it to the PDA. Okay, so we don’t need to work anymore on the EXTRACT Panel, so close it and go to the BUILD Panel. For beginning, i strongly disagree on starting to “cook” right away. So please follow my advice and you may actually learn something.
·BuildOS – This will prompt you with couple of choices. It’s pretty easy. Select “1” and this will start the actual BuildOS program. Since you just extracted the ROM, you won’t see any selectable packages there. Those are made possible by a little “option.xml” placed in the OEM or SYS folder. I will provide in the near future a tutorial on how to build that too, but i think it’s useless. All packages, programs you want to exclude from the ROM it’s easier to move them in or out of the OEM and SYS folder than editing the option.xml so you can check them later. Good, now click on the little green arrow and it will start processing the ROM. Beware for errors. If any errors occur, close the BuildOS and the batch program and fix the error and then try again! You shouldn’t see any errors now, most of the cases there are duplicate files that mess with the program. When it writes “Done” on the bottom, you can close it so that the batch program may continue
·(batch= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_file). It will start creating the ROM, you’ll see alot of text ... not really important. When it’s finished it will go back to the status screen. The options are numbered as you should use them so again no rocket science. That’s it. It wasn’t that hard, was it ?

And don't use the suplied RUU updater in german unless you have replaced it with the updated elf updater and Scripts.

Noonski Did all as you suggested and got no errors while extracting... BUt when i run BuildOs.exe i get the warning the buidOS.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close i tried reinstalling hypercore any ideas..... or if some one can upload his/her working BuildOs.exe file....it wud be nice thanks...............OH YES I AM USING WINDOWS XP....

[Noonski]

Thank you for this tutorial. Is it possible to implement a navigation program for my proper use. Cause the RAM is not big and I have some free space on my ROM memory that I don't use....

Just for my own use, I will not post the ROM



Set PagePool to 0MB

Disable all start ups and extra services in registry.

Also disable as much as possible launchers from HKLM\INIT
(do this with a life rom playing around restart to see what the effect is)

That should free up as much ram as possible.

Remove as much from Rom as possible will also get you more free RAM memory.

Now i'm not cooking yet but if i'm right there should be an error log in the Dump Folder about the crash

Could also be .Net framework version that needs update.

But ussually when it crashes emediatly it crashes on double DSM files. (DSM files with same name but in different folders or multiple DSM files in same folder.

[Noonski]

Anyone? Im searching for this too..

Regards,
Carty..

Cannot be done yet.

It would require to change the ROM partition size......... Methinks.

It's a requirement written into the Bootloader not the update util if i'm correct.

Maybe some Genius that knows how to Patch the Bootloader up in Dev forums might be able to crack this....

Would be great to make a WM6.1 SL (Super Light)

[Noonski]

Has anybody put in a rom the program PocketCm Keyboard?, I have tried to put it in the rom that I am cooking but there is no way, not if it is necessary to do any modification in the registry that it is not known since in the alone cab of installation there is a key of registry that is this:

Tene doens't like us cooking PocketCm......

So i sttopped looking into this.


But Touchpal doesn't seem to be bothering XDA..... yet.

I am Building my first OEM Pack in the moment. Point 1-16 are no problem.

How can i define the place for the files in the rom?


Inside a selfmade package you can ad a initflshes.txt file which will tell where the files will be COPIED to after flashing.

You could also do everything in the initflashes.dat file in one of the OEM folders but you would need to take out two bytes with a hex editor after that.

Hey noonski, Ive edited the initflashfiles.dat file without removing the extra 2 bytes.
Before editing rename the file to initflashfiles.txt , edit the file you want then save it as initflashfiles.txt and then rename it back to initflashfiles.dat.
Works all the time!!

I use the one from shadow's rom. But i've been experimenting with the kitchen from bepe, and this is a good stable rom also...

Which part in the ROM is responsible for the communication with AS?

I am using the ROM from Hdubli and ported it to German. Everything works fine, except AS does not recognize the phone.

Hmm haven't had this as being a fault in a Rom itself..

Most of the time i had this it had to do with Active Sync on PC.

Funny i was allready planning sort of the same.

Shadow looked like a good base but i like a more official rom without missing RGU's so i to am going to use parts of Vepe's kitchen.

But i'm not really familiar with the way he's set it up so i'm just going for his Packs and drivers and port them over the Shadow Rom.

[pkoper]

I'll give Bepe's kitchen a go.... still no luck with AS

BTW. What does PDAViet do to make the ROM not dumpable???

Not Create DSM.

Which means when you extract it it will see loads of files but no DSM info where they belong. And the RGU files also are gone integrated into HV and initflashes.txt of course will be in initflashes.dat

Methinks.

[Noonski]

I used to use Reshack to edit some Windows Exes and to find out which number an icon would have inside a .DLL file.

But replacing graphics with it didn’t work for WinMob.

The files wouldn’t run and needed to be signed.

I then found this signing script on another thread but it would pump out an error and still not sign the files.

Read the thread and found another way.


Search And Download PE Explorer.
Install it.
Open it.
Open “TodayButton.dll” which I have added in the attachment.
This comes from the Prada Menu for instance.
Choose “View >> Resources” from the top menu.
This should give you a tree look of what’s inside.
Open Bitmap, then right click “110” and choose “Save resource as”, and save “Bitmap_110” to an easy to find folder.
Edit the Bitmap into whatever you want it to look like.
After that back in PE Explorer double click on “110”.
You should get a new window.
Click on the Browse/folder button and browse to the changed graphic.
Click yes to confirm.
Then File Save as, And overwrite original file.
Now you have to run a command prompt in this folder.
Type in “sign TodayButton.dll”
Without the quotes.
If it says Succeeded your done.Replace the new file in your Rom.

Now I haven’t tried this in all circumstances yet.
But it seams you should be able to do this on any file.
Don’t like the icon of Active Sync?, Replace it.

Euhm..... and there's also another way of doing this using the tools in thye HyperCore Kitchen.
You'll find Reshacker and a signing tool in the Core>HyperCore>Panel>Extra folder.

Hi all,

Quite new on PDA flashing, i followed the tut in this thread and extracted a rom but i still have some questions (maybe i overlooked it just reading this long thread)

i followed this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1599608&postcount=73) and all went ok...

But where (directory) is the extracted rom ? and is that directory the place where to edit and customize the rom before repacking it ?

The extracted rom should be in Core\Hypercore\Build\
Seperated into ROM, OEM and Sys folders.

This wopuld be after the extract XIP step.

hmm strange, in the build dir i have:

Missing - wich have a load of file/directory's in it
Rom
Tools
Package


EDIT : Could this problem be because i'm extracting a CUSTOM rom and not an ORIGINAL rom ??

Defitly because it's a Custom Rom.

When .DSM files are Empty or incorrect this will happen when you extract a rom.

It's anice way to know no one will use your Rom as a base.

Your using a wrong base to cook from.

Yea indeed, well i tried it with an original rom and all went quite ok, now i need to figure out what the next steps are.

[Darklandz]

ok next step ...

I downloaded your 100_NewBatteryIcons, so if i think right i need to unzip it and place the directory into SYS directory ?

i'll try it and try to build the rom, see how it goes ...

Correct.

But beware That package will also give an error when you run BUILDOS as it will replace a file in the OEM folders.

So you have to take that file from the specific OEM folder and place it in the red X Packages folder.

Also the 100% battery icon will also change the PIN keyboard layout as the battery icon graphics are in the same file ;)

Havne't used that packages for ages but it's a nice start.

[Darklandz]

Cool thanks for the quick reply, indeed BUILDOS gave me an error, i'll post it here so other new cookers can learn from it to ...

The error i got is :
The file "temp\dump\phcanoverbmp.dll" allready exists

If i look in the status panel (on the bottom of BUILDOS) i see:
Error , last status:"Processing: OEM\OEMAPPS"

So this would point me out to go to C:\Core\HyperCore\Build\OEM\OEMAPPS and move the phcanoverbmp.dll to the (red X) Packages folder...

The problem is in C:\Core\HyperCore\Build\ there is NO packages folder.

EDIT:

It seems that Packages and Tools folder is missing, gonna copy them there and see how it goes ...

Ok this error seems to be solved but now i get another one ...

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Core\HyperCore\build\ROM\XIP

and the status panel ...

Error , last status:"Creating shadow order file...

Well like i suspected, the HyperCore Kitchen did not install itself like it should have. Fixed that and now the BUILDOS did fine with no errors reported.

What does the XIP actually do?

One can just interchange it from different ROM's?

Just having a hard time trying to make 6.1 German as I can't find a base to work of. So after replacing the mui's and editing the RGU's and provxml's there is still some weird stuff happening.

Which part exactly is the core OS?

Any pointers, hints???

[nik_for_you]

I am completely new to this..
then also i am trying..
I extract the rom and dump the XIP.

everything is fine..

Now I read almost whole the thread and people are discussing changing rgu files and all.
I didnt find any rgu file in build folder. there are SYS and OEM folder in it but all dlls.

how do i modify rgu???

I think that to delete a item from base rom i need to delete it from OEM or SYS dir and to add some new program i need to convert cab to oem and put it in to OEM folder .. right ??

[pkoper]

If extracting a cooked rom you will most likely not find any rgu files, ie the rom will not be re-cookable.

correct if I am wrong

[nik_for_you]

I am using shadow 2.0 to customise

[pkoper]

you would not find any rgu's there

try Noonski's version of Bepe's kitchen....

[nik_for_you]

After doing build OS I see DSM files in temp folder ..

Is it the same i can modify..

[pkoper]

normally you would do all changes and modifications before running buildos

[nik_for_you]

So I must change the base?? or wht

[pkoper]

what do you want to do?

[nik_for_you]

I want to customize !!

I have got one big problem..

I removed some packages and add some new.. build the rom and flashed..

Now I am no longer able to start my phone..

what should i do??

quick help would be appreciated..

[bytespider]

I know its not helpful but THIS is why im worried about creating a rom... tho i thinking the mistake was by removing too much!

Oh by the way - im writing a wrapper for the batch file you lot use.
Nice GUI interface to run BuildOs and such sizzle :)

Update:
- Copies files from Base directory into the build directory
- Runs BuildOs in the background

Plan:
- Have the ability to have several bases WM6 WM6.1 etc..
- Have packages that can can be added
- build up a build dir that is in the appropriate fromat for BuildOs
- Some how work out the compiled size of the packages

Yes i know this sounds like what Bepe is doing in BuildOs already - this is mearly a stop gap, until he fully implements features.
Mainly for my own use but thought someone else might be interested in using it... let me know.

Play with bepe's kitchen first. You cannot do what you are doing with cloudys rom. selecting packages in buil OS is like adding and removing packages


just flash a working rom to your phone

put it in bootloader mode and flash from there

[nik_for_you]

but how to put in this mode

[pkoper]

remove battery,

press and hold camera button and on button,

put battery in,

wait and you will get the three coloured screen ( ie the bootloader ),

now connect the USB cable

if USB appears in bottom left corner in red letters then you can just flas a rom known to work

Good Question.

I don''t have a hundred percent anwser for that.

But the XIP contains the information for memory size and such methinks.
And Same Device specifc drivers to.

For instance i have sucesfully Ported the files from Bepe's kitchen in combination with an original ELF 4mbPP XIP.

Buhuuuuut. I didn't manage to take over the extra information succesfully.

So id did get a WM6.1 rom with 4MB PP but Blouetooth and Storage Card where not working because the the newer drivers did not get registered correctly.

I'm also just F-in around and breaking stuff and then trying to find what makes it tick.

Pkoper is right without the rgu the final rom will have mayor issues if it even starts.

This happens when DSM files are left empty or made blank or removed completely.

The dsm files help when extracting to say wchich files are in rom but most important which folders they belong in.

So with blank DSM files extraction will not know if there were and where the rgu files belong.

It doesn't really matter where you put your packages.

But if your using hypercore with a backup of the OEM and SYS folder.

You need to cut and paste all removed files from OEM folders into packages. Otherwise when building the rom they will be placed back into their original place.

Find an original Provider Pre 2.2 STOCK rom, preverable your own provider.

Don’t flash a cooked version.

Follow above instructions to get in bootloader and REMOVE SIM and SD card.

Then flash Original Rom onto phone.

Also maybe you need to kill Active Sync.

Did we really not build custom roms before BuildOS!? I mean its an amazing app when configured correctly... Noonski, your kitchen is a great example..as is DIY and a few others.

Looks like there was a lot of hand work.

But i remember that in early Win Mob 2003 (non SE2) there were even better apps then buildos.

[bytespider]

If you can remember any I can go look at them and augment peices into an app? I keep looking there too - but whoa theres a lot of stuff to try to understand...

From what i understand of buildos pulls all the files from sys, oem and rom and does buildos specific stuff based on initfalshfiles. copies the rgu and dsm files into a packages folder and all rgu into a registry folder.

Then comprgu is ran on the registry folder, results in user.hv
and cabarc on the packages folder, results in packages.cab

thats as far as i can guess... lol
Its amazing what you can work out at 1am (why does my head work solutions out so late in my day?) Was in bed and suddenly thought....cunning sod...bebe is just calling external apps! So with taskmanager open i ran build os - watching the tasks and the temp & dump folders...bingo!

Will iniflasfiles.txt all get inserted into initflasfiles.dat and the .dat actually runs after the rom has been flashed.

That's why the less gets copied from ROM/Windows into Storage space.

That's why ypu can't delete Files in Windows because all files there are in ROM.

And when you overwrite a file you actually don't

The file remains in rom and the new one goes into RAM storage space but the reference to the original File in rom gets changed.

So overwriting a file in windows folder will take away Storage Space.

That's why i like taking all .lnk files out of initflashfiles to max out Storage Space.

So taking out a file can ctually doubles the space unless the only location off course is the windows folder..

Nope...

Now i have to lie about which base is being used.

But hey That only means it was indeed the most official version.

If there was a need for a mass pull it would be on the frontpage of XDA.

And i must say we are really providing a service.

This has been like a Monster leaked version.

It's been ported to Many device very quickly and is performing great on most.

Which MS should be grateful for to have so many free Beta testing.

WM6.1 is good i really like the basic out of the box performance already.

Just after flashing ROM Elf has 43°% of program memory in use, but after using it for a while or just restarting it, program memory in use rises to 53%. Thats around 5MB less free program memory.

Depends on the size of Cache set.

For instance big glyphcache will slowy grow to the set size.
And it't memory that can't be recovered.
Also WM6 just tends to leak a bit especially with Commmanager running in the background. WM6.1 is much better at keeping memory at the moment.

Well hopefully in a week i will start cleaning my kitchen.
Maybe a list is handy, but at the moment i'm finding out not everything that could be removed from WM6 can be removed from WM6.1
But there's enough safe stuff to remove.

Not 100% sure why MS are so pissed...I mean its not like the end user can buy a copy of WM6.1. They only sell it to OEMs and the end user doesnt buy the PDA/Phone for the OS...they buy it for the features it performs.... and the ROM chefs are only making end users envision what they could do with thier devices. Therefore the OEM selling more, and purchasing more licences/or whatever from MS!

Heyho...Keep up the good work.

Yeah bit of topic but still..

Well i just read T-Mobile was prancing around with one of the first devices to boast WM6.1. on CEBIT.

I would love to walk up to them and tell them what a great job MS has done and show them my own version.

It takes the sting out of the marketing, and marketing is everything.

It could also be that it was a build never to see the light of day.

I said this before. I have never seen a new OS being ported and working on so many devices flawlessly before it even came out.

So compared to previous ports.

I can understand they are a bit pissed of.

I removed ArcSoft instaled in stock ROM 2.20.707.1 but I can not get the new one working. I tried with ArcSoft MMS 5 from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365783.
I also tried on WM6.1.

Sorry for writing this, but I think the manual (the written instructions for HyperCore_V1.01) has many faults....

Here are my results:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- when the ROM is extracted into the dump-folder, can I then replace the *.0409.mui files with *.0407.mui files ? Can I rename all the subdirs (i.e. "urlmon.dll.0409.mui") to "urlmon.dll.0407.mui" ?
I would prefer to have a german ROM :-)

- after starting PKGTool and selecting the "Manual"-mode there isn't an Explorer-Window opened....

-in my case Tools-BuildPackages has organized the "Dump"-folder only into SYS, OEM and 1 file named "msim.96.dll". Nothing more..... even no folder "Missing Files".
BUT I have these entries in the window of the Package Tool:

[Missing Files]
SYS\SIM_TKit
File: 1dc3da02-499f-4547-9fd2-78cddfda9c62.rgu

SYS\SMIME
File: 8cb4ac12-6bc5-4bda-ab45-539988c36a95.rgu

{... and a lot of other files }

When I now take a look into the SYS-folder I can see this SIM_TKit-folder...
BUT NOT this file -> 1dc3da02-499f-4547-9fd2-78cddfda9c62.rgu ! There is a file with this name -> 1dc3da02-499f-4547-9fd2-78cddfda9c62.dsm !!
Is this correct or not ? Because why does the Package Tool report them as "Missing Files" ?

- your next instruction is "DumpXIP" ... but what's with the already running "PKGTool" ? Must it be closed or kept open ? What's with option "5" in this window ?
Do we need this ?

- after starting DumpXIP a DOS-Box pops up and the first line shows:
Place the "OS.nb" here :

* Press [ENTER] when ready.

But WHERE should I place "OS.nb" ???

In XIP.bat I can only find the following:

echo. %loc%
echo. Place the "OS.nb" here :
echo.
"%systemroot%\explorer" "Extract\"
SET /P Choice=* Press [ENTER] when ready.

As you can see: [echo. Place the "OS.nb" here : ] ... but where ????

Your further instructions:
Remember to move the XIP folder to "HyperCore\Build\ROM" folder

There is no XIP folder !!? Do you mean the "HyperCore\Tools\XIP_extract" folder ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The program looks fine and seems to do what it should do ... but the written instructions are faulty. Sorry, but that's the reality.

Anyway...at this point I MUST stop because of false instructions ... so my 1st attempt to cook a ROM wasn't successful :-(

Hopefully my next attempt will be much better (with your help) !?

The missing files folder should be created by the Installer for HyperCore.

You only replace the MUI files once you have used Package.

So if i get it right you run

C:\Core\HyperCore\Panel\Extract\1. DumpRom
Hit Enter.
Wait.
Choose Option Wait
Choose Option One.
Choose option 3 manual
Package tool should open (Vista or XP?)
Choose File >> Open >> Browse to > Computer > C > Core > HyperCore > Extract > Dump > OK > Wait....

Go to C:\Core\HyperCore\Extract\

Rename dump into Packages.
File > Exit.

Do Option 4 and then Option 5.

Let's see if this gets working first.

Check to see if You have Good .Net frameworks installed and the correct XP or Vista Batch Files.

[vibranze]

Hi Aspirina,
Not sure if you are still doing it manually, if you are then check Ervius' package creator (http://www.medankia.org/PPC/Ervius%20Packages%20Creator%205.2b5.exe) , it will definitely save you a lot of time and effort:-)

Back with more questions ;)

I tried to create a package with the Touch calculator skin by nanoflower.

My problem was that there where no registry entries to put into the rgu, so I created a blank one and added a blank line. Is that correct?
Then I used the BuildDSM and got the dsm file.
I'm uploading the package I created, could you guys check it?

Thanks!

Edit: New package added in another post

Dear Noonski,

thanks for your explanations. I will try it again (hopefully) today ;)

One hint:
You wrote The missing files folder should be created by the Installer for HyperCore.

I started the installer (HyperCore_V1.01) and the following happend:
- created a folder "Core" on C:
- created subfolders Core\ACK, Core\Batch, Core\Help, Core\Icons, Core\Tools
- created an icon "HyperCore" on the desktop (linked to:C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\obiwan2\Desktop) ... it's german :o:o
- there was NO subfolder core\HyperCore !!?

The program was running without general problems ONLY AFTER MOVING HyperCore manually from the Desktop to C:\Core\ :confused:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
So if i get it right you run

C:\Core\HyperCore\Panel\Extract\1. DumpRom
Hit Enter.
Wait.
Choose Option Wait
Choose Option One.
Choose option 3 manual
Package tool should open (Vista or XP?)
Choose File >> Open >> Browse to > Computer > C > Core > HyperCore > Extract > Dump > OK > Wait....

Go to C:\Core\HyperCore\Extract\

Rename dump into Packages.
File > Exit.

Do Option 4 and then 5


This was nearly exactly what I've done...except the last step. Regarding to your instructions there was no Option 5 after selecting Option 4...only "DumpXIP". Is there a newer "Beginner's manual" ??

Check to see if You have Good .Net frameworks installed and the correct XP or Vista Batch Files.
- installed Hyper Core Kitchen For Elf (from your post #33)
- downloaded+installed ACK.zip and RUU.zip (from your post #33)
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (already installed)
- XP or Vista Batch Files (I have only XP installed, so don't needed the VISTA-batch)

Should I try an "older" version of the installer (if available) ?
The new one (v1.01) doesn't create the folder ....\Missing Files and doesn't create the folder C:\Core\HyperCore\ (and the belonging subfolders).

Many thanks again

hi noonski. been reading ur thread right from post 1 and it is a wonderful thread :D keep up the good work. i had few questions, hope u can answer each one ;)

1. Doesn't Hypercore use Tadzio tools? which means, the final os.nb is actually compressed
2. Bepe's kitchen uses bigstorage switch and he has the rom folder with xip and xiphdr.bin file
3. Where can i get hold of a way to have the exact files in bepe's xip folder?

i was thinking if i could dump xip and all files like in bepe's kitchen and use hypersore with tadzio imgfs tools, then i think i can achieve my targeted storage and prog memory

1. Yes i think so Someone else told me it did. (there is a little test you can do)
Take a big xp exe and put it in the cook. CHeck the size.
Then use the compression tool in HyperCore on that exe and cook it again with the compressed exe.
If there is a difference in ROM size then it doesn't compress the OS.NB enough.
2. I'm still waiting for someone to come with a good explanation about this whole XIP thing?
3. Well the files came from a Vadafone Kaiser Device.

gOOD QUESTIONS.

ON old ELF roms it was easier.
You could simply follow the Change PagePool Toturial.
On these new ELF/ELFIN roms it's still a secret to me.

Easiest is

mxipupdate_zzPIED_100.provxml
But there where some other registry keys to.
These days i don't really care to much about those other ones i stopped changing them.

There's also an ADO registry key with a version sub number.

And someone reported that the PROVXML doesn't always stick.

[pkoper]

have we got a porting manual somewhere?

Just taking the new kaiser rom apart to use for the elf, but nothing that runs after a flash...

It has probably been asked a few times...

What does the XIP do? Apart from containing a large portion of the registry and drivers. I changed the XIP a few times to notice that it changes the CE OS build of the rom. This way I could change an ELFIN rom to an Elf rom to gain more programm memory.

You only use SYS and OEM folders from that Rom.

Then use original XIP from Bepe's Kitchen to make a true WM6.1

I did just a little reading up.

But XIP contains device specific OS files, that can defenetly not be ported.

For now all i did was Just copy over new Simmanager exe. 6.41

I don't need the whole OS.

Now testing the WLM from that build. (contacts Sync still not fast enough .. ghehehe)

I had the same thing happening when extracting my Dumped_Original_ROM!It was like no packages were created, but they actually did in the dump-folder!:confused:
..."BETA, make your own rom"...
If you used bepe's kitchen to build your ROM, then you should expect this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1904869&postcount=31).
...also how do i completely get rid of the cube...
Let me tell you what I removed in order to get rid of the cube:
* the cube gfx from OEMAPPS along with APLauncher.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and QuickDial.exe (with their gfx) while I renamed AltTab.exe to Biotouch.exe and overwrote the old one with that one (I think Noonski's done it in his ROM and I like it a lot! ),
* every ".provxml" related to cube from OEM_Lang_0409,
* the StartUpBiotouch.exe and StartUpBiotouch.lnk from OEMsomewhere:D
* overwrote the LaunchStartupApp.lst in OEMDrivers with the one attached below.
(That's all I remember doing, but I can't see if it works, cause
I can't flash the fricking ROM!Please...any ideas why?)
Regards!

This is a feature of Bepe's Kitchen.

What it does is combine all .DSM and .RGU files into only a few .DMS and RGU files instead of many.

This will get less of these files in the flashed Windows folder therefore increasing performance a little bit.

What DSM file do is hold the information of which files go where when extracting the ROM.

But Bepe's kitchen writes a predifined code that basicly then says that the ROM basically only contains the "Cook Your Own ROM" folder.
This again also makes the DSm file containing that information smaller again adding to a cleaner smaller rom even if it's just a few bytes.

Also this encourages Cooks to be more creative and learning more instead of just copying someone elses rom and adjust it slightly..

If you weigh the advantages with the disadvantages.

The advantages defintly win.
So expected behaviour.


The registry key to disable the Cube swiping is one i m entioned very early on in this thread it was.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]
"EnableCube"=dword:1

Set it to 0

Or Place any Exe file you want to run on Swipe up into rom renaming it into "BioTouch.exe"

@noonski... i cooked a new rom for myself.. its 51208 kb in size a perfect 50 mb file :D i removed device information from the rom, but after that the backlight doesnt work :( it opens and before anything is shown it closes (i think i must ve done something wrong somewhere) but can u guide me to a package where i can know how to get it working back again? i added htc home plugin monster package which you posted and even in that the backlight setting doesnt work. apart from this there's no problem at all

even after having ultimate launcher with all shortcuts and htc home added in it, the free memory is about 67mb which is actually fast. would u have any idea how to change the pagepool of this rom? i wanted to make it 8mb..

i edited the version provxml file to show my name in it, after that the device info also couldnt open. i recooked the rom with the file saved as unicode and then it worked, would this be a problem for backlight to be not working? please reply soon, i think this is a perfect rom that i have wanted :)

Maybe it's needed along with the "Htc_Lib.dll" in the some dir(attached bellow).
*BTW, did you remove the cube with success?Did you do anything that I suggested?I'm asking because I can't flash my cooked rom to see if the cube-removing worked...

Many Thanks.

Can i make my base ROM to any avalible custom ROM like Blue Elves 5.0?
In this case i have this file RUU_Signed.nbh. While when i start the Dumprom it looks for nk.nbf

I'm not sure but i thought Swiftblade did create DSM files for his ROM so it might be extractable but i might be wrong.

hey noonski.. good to have u back brother :) things ve changed a bit this while.. people (atleast me) ve learnt the art of porting the xip and build versions :D anyways, good to have u back..

swiftblade created the dsm files for his rom.. had once extracted his rom back in the times when we missed bepe's kitchen

I've decided it's time to start Cooking a Rom for my Elf(in). So I got all the files (I think) got everything installed. I got to the step to extract the RUU_Signed,nbhfile. SO I followed these instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1599608&postcount=73
The problem is when I get to step 5 I get a error saying there is no RUU_Signed file & there is.
I attached a screenshot to show that it's there.
What have I done wrong? Does it have anything to do with my phone being an Elf(in)?

Whene you install HyperCore kitchen folder named HyperCore is made on desktop.
Go to HyperCore\Extract\Source and in that folder place the source file.

Go to HyperCore\Extract\Source and in that folder place the source file.Tried that but still got the same error. So i started checking around and found a shortcut location put it in there & it worked perfectly.
I dumped my first Rom :) Now I have to see where to go to next. Have to find out how to remove things like transcriber, office apps, basically all the junk I won't ever use. Then I can customize the looks of it.

I'm new to all the ROM editing so I will probably have a few more issues I'll need help with. Thanks for the help.

Well I have been trying to cook a rom. With no luck......

I have followed just about every how to and guide I could find on the net and I cam say I have a much greater understanding on the workings of curtain roms I am still yet too actually create a finished working rom.

I have got as far as the extraction and stuff and removed some apps and added some others how ever I need some lessons on rebuild the rom to a point were I can flash it back to my Touch Device.

Thanks in advance

dont worry mate :)
keep trying, u'll succeed. tell me what problem are u facing? i might be able to help u.

[Warz_NL]

Please be aware that most of this tutorial comes from Information written by others, but then edited my way.

1. There are two types of ROM downloads. A selfextracting version that runs the updater automaticly (ussualy a stock ROM). And then there's the zip package that shows you all the files inside.

2. With the selfextracting EXE you simply rightclick on it and choose to extract here...................

Blah Blah (So not to have my own private page :) )

15. You are now ready to start Cooking. Thanks to Anichillus for including the instruction on how to extract in the HyperCore Kitchen and modifying all the scripts. And thanks to It'sme for the original extracting script Pof & the Blasphemer for making it more user friendly and Bepe for the Package Tool.

Please report any mistakes ore additions for a better cooking experience.

Ok I did all of this. I also removed some files and folders from the \HyperCore\Build\OEM\OEMAPPS just junk I didnt want like adobe and that IA zip.

Then I went to the \HyperCore\Panel\Build and clicked on the BuildOS (Just so we know I found a 2 tuts in the HyperCore pack 1 as a pdf and the other as a word document and I read them both multiple time.) That went fine without any errors.

Ok all goes well until I get to the HTC Rom tool I put the saved RUU_Signed.nbh on my desktop. When I asve the file I put the OS.nb into the bottom slot the System?

When it finishes I ge a Green DONE: All seems to be ok!
So I move onto the next step and that is the Flash and I always get a 266 Error.

Ahhh what am I doing wrong ???? (He cries out loud with a bald head and a hand full of hair)
