Welcome To SWAMPY395's
Cooking Class
For
Blue Angel and Himalaya
Devices

Lesson 1 Cooking My Way
This is a practical course in cooking, I’m not going to teach you all the theory etc.
Just some things that work, and point you to the info you require to learn for yourself.

Key to all lessons (Abbreviations I will be using) co’s I’m lazy

(LC) = Left click of mouse
(RC) = Right click of mouse
(P) = Properties: example (RC)(P) - Select Properties from popup menu
(DC) = Double Left click
(DEL) = Delete: example - FILENAME.* (RC)(DEL) would mean / right click file and delete it
(CPY) = copy
(PST) =Paste and replace old if applicable
(MD) = Make a Directory
(ROOT) = Kitchen_HIMA_0.1.2 or Kitchen_BA_0.1.2 Folder etc
(KF) = Swampy395_HIMA_ROM_ReCooker_0.1.0 or Swampy395_BA_ROM_ReCooker_0.1.0 Folder etc

End for key

Exercise:1
Download and install the My ReCooker tool for your type of device
i.e.: BA = Blue Angel. HI or Hima = Himalaya . If you already have a recooker you can download the applicable upgrade and install it
Download here:

Download Base ROM
I have recooked both these roms and these lessons will be based on these “ONLY” so IF you decide to use some other ROM, !! don’t ask me questions, Your on your OWN.

BA: explode 19209 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382909

Hima: PDAVIET 19213 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394096

Follow instructions with recooker and build the test ROM with my custom images just (cpy)(pst) the 3 images into dump folder before step (5).

“HIMA Users ONLY Remove the following files from dump folder before step (5).”
( TaskMgr2.exe, TaskManager2.lnk, Suspend PPC.lnk, Reset PPC.lnk, RegEdit.lnk )

Don’t use step (6.) Go straight to step (7) Then (x) exit recooker put device in boot loader, Cradle it and flash rom to your device, your New ROM is in the upgrade folder with upgrade tools ready to install, Flash it and Check for my boot Screen, Then set today theme to windows default should be swampy395 image, Yes! Congratulations you Just ReCooked your first ROM. Now test wifi, Ir, BT, Phone, SMS, etc. If you find something wrong Then you missed something Start ReCooker Choose (1) then (R ) from second menu and start again! You must complete this to have a working kitchen

P.S. you should both have receiving problem with Bluetooth we’ll fix that in lesson 2



Exercise:2
Follow the links below and read carefully, Pay attention to:
1. Package tool, Download it and learn how to use IT
2. Read about Editing initflashfiles.dat make sure you understand what it does we will be editing this in lesson 2
3. Have a look at bottom of the web page there’s lots of links to OEM Packages download some and browse them Don’t worry about what devise there for infract download the same things for different devises and compare them . Remember none of these were intended for our devises but were using them ??

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=OEM%20Package%20Tutorial

Throughout this Class I will provide *.cab files for using in the lessons that way I know that they should work, and what! you’ve got on screen, These roms may not be your choice, But IT’S My Class Room, At the end of these Lessons you should be able to:
EDIT registry flies
EDIT initflashfiles.dat A very useful file indeed, You will LOVE what this can do for you!
And be able to choose the correct files to install first time, IF your Good !!


Exercise:3
Download lesson1.rar
Unpack
Install the TaskMgrTotalCommander.cab file, look in programs “Tools” should look like image “A” Now (MD) “TaskManager” in My Device\Program Files\ and move TaskMgr2.exe to “TaskManager” and soft reset your device, Now “Tools” should look like image “B” Yes the Links don’t work now and the icon images are blank. Use Total Commander to Edit the Links and repair them, then copy them from your device and the TaskMgr2.exe to the dump folder ready Lesson 2
Hint: The .exe was in windows!!

I tried yesterday your recook kitchen... new upgrade version 1.2... but I have an issue after the step when you can mod the initflashfiles... and use that third party app... I cant remember the name the app that coverts unicode - ansi you know...

The kitchen freeze after that I choose save and then close the app hit enter to continue and nothing happens but something change on my system... my multimedia files like video avi wmv (flv is good); music mp3 and wma; TXT and reg files seems to loose its asociation to the respective players and programs... cause when I click twice over any of them... the IE7 launch itself and launching again many many windows and the task manager cant handle it to close them... I cant figured out how to fix this and why this happens so...

I ask you if you have an answer...
Do I need to format my PC?

Im uploading an example of how my machine sees in youtube but is uploading... wait for the uploading process.

thanks men

look on your task bar bottom right and you'll find editpad4 is still running look in settings in edit pad and uncheck task bar option then it will close and the batch file will move on to next step

file asociation on ppc or PC? the kitchen will not change things on it's own only you change thing useing the kitchen so I can't say but if some thing in the kitchen has got corrupted The best thing to do is start again run bat file select 1) then 1) in next menu clean, then run 1) again and past your nk.nbf and so on

On my PC... even if I choose "open with..." then select windows media player... then "Always use this progran for this kind of file" then open... it opens the IE7 and goes crazy :p the video file uploading is so slow... what da... jejej i will edit add the link this can helps to understands it... yes I restart the kitchen and guess what it can't open now the HKCU.reg in the step user.hv and closes by itself... i think cause the asociation gets corrupt the kitchen cant do it... and yes i have install the reg workshop as you said...

Hope it works fine next time... I hate... format my PC cause i need to backup in DVD my data... :p

Sorry mate don't know what could have hapened to your pc but the kitchen only works on ppc rom's the batch file can only access the folder's below it, IE: inside the kitchen folder that the bat file was launched in, so i doubt it was the kitchen that caused your problem, But my son had some problems with IE7 and found all was OK after uninstalling it so before you go formating your pc insert your windows disk and choose repair

Hi there the only thing i can think of is that you didn't setup regworkshop correctly? and if that's the case then your PC regestry as been corrupted by the PPC reg entries, there is a form of regedit installed with XP and it could have inported the hkcu or hklm *.reg files from the kitchen into the pc regestry:confused:, I can only recomend that you restore again and delete the kitchen then unpack again install regworkshop right click on the *.reg file that's in the same folder as the reg workshop.exe and navigate to program files on your pc and select regworkshop.exe to associate the *.reg files with it thay should be red color not blue hope this helps
regards

P.S. don't flash that rom it could be corrupt

I don't cook that way anymore, but what i use to do is I backup my pc with all my setting and software VB net etc. keep all my kitchens and cooking tools on d:\ and then when the 30 day trial on cabmanager and regworshop expiered i'd do as much work on the rom's till i needed them again then restore my pc and then install them again, All i can say is if you google you will find ;):D

My laptop comes with a backup program so i set my laptop up then back it up then after a month or so i roll back to the backup this removes all trace of timers:D then if i have new apps to install:) install backup then reinstall regworkshop and cabmanager now work for a month:D:D and repeat,
keep all work on D:\ that stays there not touched by backup/restore

TIP if you have to format you PC when you set it up make your C:\ partition around 10gig and the rest to D:\ that way it's quick to backup and restore
