New (broken :D) rom from htc s740

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

I've played all day with a dump of latest htc smartphone. Some nice little new things. I've been able to build something but I don't have time to finish it and fixing/testing everything.
So if someone feels like finishing the task here are all the files :

OEM, SYS and ROM folders I've done so far. (http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev/latest%20wip.rar)

original OEM and SYS folders from s740 (http://ostiedbrosse.free.fr/Xda-Dev/s740.rar)

new things that work :
-new skinning for calling screens with new shortcuts, for exple pressing up arrow puts loudspeaker on
-new audomanager with album art
-new htc sliding panels with a weather panel that works wonderfully
-new htc album
-new jbed
-audiobooster
-new arcsoft mms manager
-sms and mms are now stored under the same one account
-I made the rom UC capable (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337)
.....


Things that don't work :
-sliding keyboard : some letters don't work (seems to be only the keys that can be used to type numbers)
-connection setup doesn't work. (so I haven't been able to test if mms work)
-scrolling is slower than in my 19700 rom. I guess it's because some chinese guys hacked (I found the rom on a chinese forum) a file to make it better but I can't locate it. This was a nice feature that I miss.
-I couldn't get usb to pc to work (a new feature in s740 rom). but since we have WM5torage it doesn't really matter
-probably other things !

Good luck to the one who will build on this !:)

Sorry I typed all this in a hurry maybe some things don't make sense.

[Dr. Martin Gonzo]

the files are not finished uploading yet. Give it 30mins or so..

Nop, Hikey search for the new xip, included in s740 rom, not in Windows.nb from Dr Gonzo.
XIP is not present in *.raw from Erofich.

Bye.

[parthabhatta]

Nice feeling. After many days everybody seems to be active once again. All stalwarts together for a single cause. We can expect some great results soon.
Thanks to everybody.

[Rolandh]

Once thereany Is a Flashable ROM out I will gladly Beta test and post any errors or detail things that are not working like I did on Dr. Gs original WM 6.1 ROM. Wish I was clever enough to help you guys port the ROM to the VOX, but will help the cause anyway that I can.

Roland

[akumalol]

i took windows.nb and primarysplash.nb compiled into nbh with htc rom tool and vox* as device.

It is not a 20279 core rom yet.
do not try to flash it, it will brick your phone.

I have palyed with this SYS for a day.
but never find any new feature except the new contact list book.

and i had some problems with GPRS connection.

[frauhottelmann]

I played with the files today, so far, it's works pretty good, for a fresh start (I remember the 96dpi debacle when nothing worked lol) I love the home screen design. HTC Audiomanager is great too. I haven't been able to test the weather app. because I forgot to include xt9 at all. So I couldn't type in my Wifi password lol!

[akumalol]

hey how u guys test it?????
hikey says that i may brick my device....

frauhottelmann what do u mean u played with the files??? how?

[frauhottelmann]

I used a kitchen and older ROMs. And then I used some of the new packages and the new SYS. And so far it's working!

[frauhottelmann]

Hi

Can you tell how to flash my phone with this rom? Do i need to cook ROM & SYS folders or just flash windows.nb from ROM folder?

u cant flash...
dont try to flash with windows.nb in rom folder cause u cant ,"image file is corrupt", and u may brick ur phone as hikey said.
i think u need to port some of the oem packages[for testing] and sys into a working rom and flash...

I soooo would love to have a play with this new ROM, the HomeScreen Icons look so much better than the ones in the ROMs built using the Microsoft Emulator Images.

Does SD card Encryption work with this ROM?

Roland

[gagster2828]

That are very good news ,how much time did you need for cooking a rom of that ?
Good Luck

Gagster 2828

(sorry for my bad english)

[frauhottelmann]

It took about an hour, but it still has too many bugs and stuff I have to change before I would think about a release. I used an older windows.nb as base for cooking. And I started from scratch, I didn't use th modified folder by Dr G.!
But of course thanks Dr G.!

[Motocross-FrEaK]

i hope this new rom will come with 96 dpi - zeeshee? ;)

[zeeshee]

I managed to cook it. great rom. works gr8.. so far no major issue except connection setup whcih i manually configured..

thanks dr. gonzoooo

New Sliding panel looks great. How is the speed as compared to 19700 Rom??
Are you planning to release english rom

[Rolandh]

Wow that was some quick cooking man.

Roland

[Leygion]

Just can't wait to see it running on my phone, good work !

[akumalol]

i was trying to make the new homescreen to run on my rom. it seems that the new sys has diffrent cmhome.dll, cmhomeres.dll.
and i found some new code on the xml format in the homescreen...

<!-- Example: Creating a new Custom Registry-based Plugin -->
<CustomPlugin Name="HTCWeather" LocName="HTCWeather" GUID="{F0A1B246-6E64-40cd-8E15-347D29FF6F18}">
<DataSource>SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHome\SLIDINGPANEL\HTCWeather</DataSource>
<Layout>HTCWeather</Layout>
<IconPaths>2301;2301;2301</IconPaths>
</CustomPlugin>

so there are 5 htc new plugins added by the registry
HTCWeather, HTCSMSMMS, HTCEMAIL, HTCMUSIC, HTCFavorite

anyone with expirience can help me build the homescreen for previous roms until the Chefs make it flashable...:D

oh and does anyone know why buildOs dont recognize the oem packages???:confused:

[frauhottelmann]

They are recognized, but they are not shown, because there is no option.xml. They are still being build in the ROM!

[akumalol]

Really?!?!

thnx a lot again frauhottelmann... try now...
dumb thing...:o

[frauhottelmann]

I'll probably release a "Rose"-ROM pretty soon, maybe even today, depending on how many bugs I'll find!

[akumalol]

nice Work frauhottelmann!
can u share with me how u ported rose's sys???
I searched and i only found porting sys guide's for other htc models...
I guess i have to keep .vm and .rom and some shell.dll files from old sys...???

thnx In advance man... i am waiting for ur rom...!

[frauhottelmann]

I didn't do anything with the sys. It is for the right resolution, so there isn't anything you have to do!

[frauhottelmann]

Oh,I added a xT9 folder from a previous ROM, so you have a working T9 and keyboard map files!

[akumalol]

thx but vista has a lot problems running your vox kicthen....
some of the tool wont run...
the next problem vista pops me i'll format...
i suppose u have Xp SP3?

[frauhottelmann]

I am using vista. Make sure you have dotNET 1.1 and 2.0 and at least the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable installed! Then it should run under Vista too.
I only have problems with the new VoiceRecorder then it's one. So not before tomorrow!

EDIT: Oh and with TextNotes..I'll just use the old versions!

[rghai6]

Keeps giving me a
Error, last status: "Creating initflashfiles.dat..."
in BuildOS no matter what permutation/combination of OEM packages i try :(

Ive also tried building with the original OEM & SYS folders

I'm using Vista w/ VC redist 2008 SP1

[akumalol]

i tried to overcome vista problems "restart seemed to fixed it"
i used oem and sys folders from Dr. Martin gonzo "modified"...
and the rom folder[Xip, windows.nb, primarysplash.nb] from your older "windows mobile 6.1 oem sys rom folders for cookers" everything went normal but i cant flash the rom it disconnect on 1% saying "the image file is corrupt"
i use spl: 1.16
any info on a noob about anything would be helpfull...

[frauhottelmann]

If I will release a 'S740' ROM, I need to know a couple of things!
Do you want as much as possible in the ROM or just so much that it looks like S740? I need as many opinions as possible!

[akumalol]

i suggest that u make a flashable one with ALL of WORKING things and then maybe more people can progress converting other things from s740...

[koostdijck]

I would prefer a "clean" Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with as much HTC S740 system files as possible. If you need extra programs you can always add them yourself.

i agree with you too

[TheBo]

I would prefer a "ready to-go rom" with usefull utilities already there...not supreficial thing but programs of undoubtable (don't know if this word exists) utility...file manager, overclock, copy paste etcc....

[hashtowent]

i'd like to have a rom withhin a tool like "fring";possibility to watch youtube(might over tcpmp) preinstalled! with a jblend or jbed manager°!

including a ramcleaner!/(free ram!)

maybe a good browser not ie!

tool like wm5storage!

office 6.1 installed!

a option to use "handsfree" w/o headset(freisprechen is this possible on fox? using the musik speaker for calls?

maybe the option to use german and english as language!


like this!


would be great


and normal clock to 200/228mhz!

[Hikey]

Wow ,that are great news because I love the Style and Homescreen of the S740 .So please ,could you make a cab for the homescreen .

Thanks

(and sorry for my bad english)

the new htc SlidingPanel can only be used with core 20279.

It wont be working in old roms.

[thesparky007]

is there any way we can get a cab for the home screen?! id really like it but i dont want to flash my rom again

[frauhottelmann]

Does anyone still have the first file Dr. G offered? I need it!
