ROM Development Problems

[xkam8x]

I have created my first ROM using Alex's tutorial and after several attempts, there a number of recurring problems that I cannot seem to solve. First, everytime the Kaiser performs a reset, it never starts back and I end up having to do a soft reset. A notable example of this is after windows does the initial customization or when the Kaiser attempts to reset after installing a .cab that requires it. Secondly, the bluetooth explorer never seems to work. I'll tap the icon and I see the wait screen icon but nothing happens. Next, I cannot get two cabs properly configured into package, the Vista Cube (made by Poorly Duck) and the second being HTC Action Screen. The Package Builder gives a registry error for the Vista Cube and a .DHM error for the latter. If it would help, I can post up the exact messages given for the aforementioned programs.

Might be easier to compare your packages with a known good one, or just replace the "broken" one with the working one, if you'd prefer.

I've attached the Bluetooth Explorer and HTC New Action packages from Alex's kitchen below. I've used both and they definitely work. I've also attached the HTC New Action package with the graphics modified to PoorlyDuck's Vista theme, again I've used this and I know it works too.

Good luck. :)

Thanks, Ill download these and post the results back soon. BTW, is there anything I could do for the problem of the kaiser not wanting to turn back on after it is reset. For example, after windows does the "3 second customization thing" after a fresh install and then resets, my kaiser never turns back on. (I end up having to do a soft reset) I noticed that I never had this problem with the original stock ATT ROM but experience this problem with HTC based ROMs or many cooked ROMs.

There was one ROM released that had a reset-bug which sounds like the one you're referring to - look out for any ROM based on the 3.03 WM6.1 ROM (all others should be OK - such as 3.02 and 3.08).

EDIT-

Upon spending some time analyzing why the Vista Cube wont work, I narrowed it down to the registry file (.rgu) I looked at the errors and pinpointed them down to "Param"="-service """Activesync" and "Param"="-service """SMS". I removed the -service with a "NULL" and the package worked fine. Is there anyway to correct it without changing the paramaters to NULL. The only solution that I could think of was to create the packages using the "NULL" paramater and then after flashing, going into the registry and changing them back to their original settings. But as many others have cooked the Cube into their ROM, I'm sure there's another solution. Can anyone guide me in the right way. Sorry for all the questions X_X
