DCD roms and kitchen archive?

[stanelie]

Hello!

I would like to get a copy of DCD's kitchen for his rom 3.2.0 and 3.2.2 (or the closest one to that).

The reason for that is that I want to compare what has changed between the two and hopefully locate the file that makes it so that skype 2.1.0.66 hasn't been working anymore since 3.2.x versions.

Somehow, DCD's site is down and I can't locate those files I need.

Any help?

Thanks!

Here's a link to the last several Kitchens.....

the file that makes it so that skype 2.1.0.66 hasn't been working anymore
is msxipkernel\nk.exe

Thanks DCD.

Is there an adverse effect in replacing that file in your newer rom? (aside from making skype work?)

[stanelie]

Hum...

NK.exe is THE kernel...

Switching it might be a bad idea I guess, it might break lots of things?

Stuck on 3.2.0 until skype fixes their software I guess...

:(

Since dcd knows which file causes the issue and hasn't found a decent workaround/replacement for the file, I'd be willing to bet it isn't a "plug-in the file from a different WM version" fix. As I recall this was a pretty hot issue when WM6.1 surfaced and I believe the post below might say it best.

It seems Skype isn't interested in supporting our phone and they have the resources of eBay. If they wanted to support us (and a vast number of other phones,) they could..... but they don't. That's called a "marketing decision" when big corporations do it..... specifically, a "poor marketing decision."

I've seen services called "iSkoot" and "Nimbuzz" mentioned as alternatives.

[stanelie]

Well,

I just tried both : Nimbuzz does not hear anything from my Titan's microphone and iSkoot wants to call their gateway with a regular phone call, which is long distance for me, so, it's out of the question.

I also do not get any audio with fring on my phone.

Any other ideas before I flash back to DCD 3.2.0?

imo, this was due to an idiotic/crappy/lazy slap wm6.0 code into wm6.1 platform builder move by HTC ... It worked, with some weird side effect on code that uses critical sections it seems... well, not all code... mainly multimedia apps (such as tcpmp). Unfortunately, until HTC fixes the kernel with the correct code, we are out of luck.

3.2.1 and above also broke SRS WOW
it seems the kernel update broke a few media apps...specifically the ones the tried to interface with the audio or mic

the kernels are device specific? i thought they're coded by microsoft and deployed by the manufactures like windows for PCs...that's news to me.
