This ROM problem is driving me mad!!!

[KMFM$]

Okay. I have exhausted all possibilities that I can think of for this problem. The last few ROM's I've ported have been fine, except for one thing. After flashing (or hard reset) the ROM displays the splash screen and then goes to the welcome screen (displays welcomehead.96). However, when the LogoMsg.bmp popups up (the text that says, "The device is clearing the storage. Please wait.) it only displays for a few seconds then leaves. A few seconds later the tone that accompanies the "Tap screen to begin setting up your device" sounds. The words, "Tap screen..." do not show. However, a second or two later the tone sounds again, this time followed by the text, "Tap screen to begin...". From here everything in the ROM works fine. I just cannot figure that part out.
The LogoMsg.bmp is located in OEMDrivers, so I thought I might have accidentally removed something from the OEM folder. However, I have not found anything seemingly related. Also, I thought it might have been related to welcome.exe. Though, I've tried replacing it with an older version; still no luck. Unfortunately, I have tried so many things that I cannot remember exactly what all I have tried. I've re-ported XIP's (using Ervius' kitchen and by hand) and SYS's, as well as taking a fresh copy of my base OEM.
Essentially, I am asking if anyone has come across anything like this in your cooking, and if you have any tips. I would be more than happy to upload a copy of my ROM for you to test or upload my kitchen folders. I appreciate any help that anyone can provide. :)

EDIT: I'll try and upload a video later to show exactly what is happening.

i have the same issue when flashing any of the wm 6.5 ROM's. not sure what kitchen the chefs use but it doesnt seem to effect anything.

[KMFM$]

Well, I have yet to find a "solution" to this. However, I have just simply learn to deal with it. It does not effect the ROM in any noticeable way, and from what I've heard from other chef's, this is common in all new ROMs. Not sure what is going on in the ROM during that time frame, but again, it does not effect the standard operation of the ROM.

[richabi]

well dont sweat it then. yeah, i think its normal for 6.5

[joshkoss]

yep been a normal thing for all my 6.5's :(

hi KMFM$
the ROM is 6.1 or 6.5?

When it comes to porting it depends on build ver. ect ect. Its a big try and fail operation for moust of us when thing doesnt work as planned. But to get a true port you have to use m'relloc and manual change values in the modules, there is alot of guides on how to.

On dump of nbh in kitchen it unpacks diffrently (provider to provider or if its a "pure" HTC nbh), anyway the cue is that some of the chef`s use xip files in the ROM folder while other make mxipkernel + mxipkernelLTK in SYS and oemxipkernel in OEM then os.nb+ a folder named XIP in ROM and THAT contains boot.rgu I use the last method which for some reason works best for me.

hi KMFM$

Both, actually. WM6.1 builds from about CE OS 5.2.20757+, I believe, have all given the "extra" notifier. Again, I'm over it. I've just accepted the extra tone and moved on. No big deal. :D
