This thread is dedicated to porting past/current devices to WM 6.5/Windows Phone and future versions, The latest release of XIP/SYS, issues that might come up when porting it to pre-WM6.5 devices, compatibility with "OEM" Packages, etc.

This is intended as a followup to the thread Here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474406), which contains a mountain of useful info, attachments (http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=474406), etc, but is getting very long in the tooth and is device-specific, whereas this thread will be used for all devices. (that one was anyway!)

The Native Kernel Partition (XIP)

This is generally Partition 2 in the Partition table (following ULDR, and preceeding OS). It is split up into 2 Major ROM Packages, and several possible Minor ROM Packages. OEMXIPKernel makes up the device-specific part of NK, and MSXIPKernel makes up the device-agnostic part of NK. When porting from your current WM version to 6.5, you want to keep OEMXIPKernel as is, and only change the MSXIPKernel files and modules. An important module to consider in OEMXIPKernel is nk.exe - this module is the Native Kernel for the device and handles Virtual Memory, which has changed for WM 6.5, and is discussed in the following post.

You can check to see if you have a 6.5 Native Kernel by dumping xip.bin, and opening nk.exe/s000 in a hex editor. Search for the ASCII string "platform" - near this string should be the build number this nk.exe was compiled against. WM 6.5 builds began around 21100, and nk.exe compiled against them can take advantage of the new memory model discussed below. WM 6.1 and previous builds will be <=21058. nk.exe compiled against these builds will not be able to use the new memory model.

The Operating System Partition (imgfs.bin)

In your kitchen, you want to use the new /SYS from the same build that matches the MSXIPKernel if possible. Occasionally the builds do not match up, this is normal. The /OEM folder generally does not change, but when coming from WM 6.1, you will need to update your initflashfiles.dat with the new shortcuts and folders introduced in WM 6.5.

Virtual Memory in Windows Mobile 6.5 and how it differs from 6.1 and 6.0, important when porting to a device that does not have a WM 6.5 Native Kernel

What is Virtual Memory? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory)

Virtual Memory as it applies to the Windows CE 5.2 Kernel

There's a 32 bit address space available - a total of 4GB potential memory on WM. This total 4gb address space is split in half - 2gb to the Kernel, 2gb to the User. Kernel address space is only accessible by processes/threads with kernel level access, whereas user address space is accessible by all processes/threads. The user address space is from 0x00000000 to 0x7FFFFFFF, and the kernel address space is from 0x80000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF.

The user address space is split into 64 slots of 32mb a piece. (64x32=2048, or 2gb) - The first 33 slots (slot 0 and 1-32) are used for processes, and the remaining slots for object store, memory mapped files, and resources.

Each slot is easy to visualize in hex, you just increment a digit. Slot 0: 0x00000000 to 0x01FFFFFF, Slot 1: 0x02000000 to 0x03FFFFFF, Slot 2: 0x04000000 to 0x05FFFFFF, and so on. Each process gets assigned it's own slot, there are 33 total, minus the kernel process which is always running, so that's where you get the 32 process limit (which is always lower in practice, since there are always processes running in windows mobile to support the OS) - this is also the reason for a 32mb limit per process - you can see that's all the address space available in one slot.

How does that all apply to our situation with modules? When you create a module, you are telling Windows Mobile that you want that module to be memory-mapped, so that each time it loads, it's loading to the same, known area of ram - saving space in slot 0 - this is done on the computer-side, during 'cooking' and is the job of wmreloc, g'reloc, bepe's Platform Rebuilder, etc. Virtual allocations are aligned to a 64KB border, so if you memory map a .dll that's only 3Kb large, it's still going to eat up 64KB of memory space.

There are also pages that can be allocated to these slots, that are aligned to a 4KB boundry, and process/general allocations that take place during normal operation. The way the system handles this is that modules allocated on rom build-time (modules we allocate with g'reloc et. al.) are allocated from top-down (for slot 1 for example, starting at 0x03FFFFFF for the first module, taking up space to the nearest 64kb boundry, then the next module, in a line down to the 0x02000000 address, which is the beginning of the slot) - General allocations that take place during normal system operations are allocated in the remaining space, from the bottom-up (so again with slot 1 as an example, starting at 0x02000000 and ending at 0x03FFFFFF) - As you fill up these slots more and more with modules, that leaves less space for windows to dynamically allocate other, general allocations, which can, and does result in out of memory errors (even when the device has plenty of physical memory left, it cannot address this memory when virtual memory is full)

Here's where the kicker comes in for the difference between 6.0/6.1/6.5 - There are a total of 4 slots that can be used for module allocation, slot 0, 1, 60, and 61. 63 is also available to modules that contain no code (resource only modules, like .mui's)

WinMo 6 could allocate slot 0, 1 - (in order of 1 first, 0 last) for a total of 64mb of vm space for modules/files (and the running process is always mapped to slot 0, so once you encroach on this memory space, you are removing available memory to each application running) - you can see how tight this is.

WinMo 6.1 improved on this by opening up slot 60 and 61 (now the allocation order is 61, 60, 1, 0) - but modules could not be allocated here, only files. So for our relocation tools, this was essentially no change. (still only slot 1, 0 for modules) WM 6.1 also introduces the process initvmmap.exe in the MSXIPKernel, NK partition (xip.bin). This process draws a map of all virtual memory, and uses the following registry key from the boot hive (boot.hv):


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader\ModuleInfo]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader\ModuleInfo\dllnam e.dll]
"filename.exe"=dword:1
"filename2.exe"=dword:1
This tells the system that the module dllname.dll is only required when filename.exe is running, or filename2.exe is running - and whenever these processes are not running, the virtual memory space is available, and can be dynamically allocated to by the system.

WinMo 6.5 improves on this by opening up Slots 60 and 61 to Modules - yielding an extra 64mb of potential Virtual Memory space. (the allocation order is now 1, 61, 60, 0 for modules, 60, 61, 0 for files) - In order for the Kernel to recognize these new Slots as being mappable for Modules, it must be updated to the 6.5 codebase. This is where the 6.5 nk.exe comes in, and why it's so important.

Profiling Virtual Memory is an important job for an OEM - the less available in Slot 0, the sooner a device will kick back out of memory errors (even if it's not truly out of memory) - and the worse the user experience will be. Some ROM's I have seen have less than 20MB available in slot 0 (and the user experience is as bad as you might imagine) - There are many more intricacies to the whole process - like balancing the load between services.exe and device.exe to best utilize the 32mb VM space available to each, and storing all resource-only dlls as modules so they can be allocated to Slot 63, etc.

This is also why it's important that the re-alloc tools be updated to support the new slots - g'reloc will not ever try to allocate modules to slot 60/61 because as far as it's aware, this is not possible. For the moment I know of 2 tools that will realloc to slot 60/61, wmreloc 2.0, and bepe's Platform Rebuilder (used by ervius vk)

What's the take-home message about VM?

Keep Slot 0 as free as possible. WM 6.5 NK allows you to use more modules without taking up SLOT 0 space, so allows more flexibility to use modules (which are faster to load)

Registry tips for WM 6.5

* Start menu icons

Sizes (for png icons):

240x240 96 DPI 45x45
240x320 96 DPI 45x45
240x400 96 DPI 45x45
320x320 128 DPI 60x60
480x480 192 DPI 90x90
480x640 192 DPI 90x90
480x800 192 DPI 90x90
480x854 192 DPI 90x90

All icon entries go under the following key:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]


Create a sub-key matching the folder name or shortcut name the icon will go with, for example:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Phone.lnk]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Tools]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Tools\QuickGPS.lnk]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Google Maps.lnk]


There are 4 possible values you can set under this key:


Name REG_SZ Specifies the display name of the item. If the value is not specified, the file name will be displayed without the extension.
Group REG_DWORD Specifies whether the item is a folder. The value can be set to TRUE or FALSE. Set the value to TRUE to indicate that the item is a folder. If the value is not specified, the system will determine the Group value by verifying whether the registry key has any subkeys.
Icon REG_SZ Specifies the path and file name where the icon is located. The icon can consist of a PNG file or an embedded icon resource module. If this value is not specified, the default icon of the shell will be used.
Rank REG_DWORD Specifies the rank of the item. An item that specifies a larger value for Rank will be displayed before items that specify a lower value. If this item is not specified, the Rank will be set to 0.


To determine icon spacing, you'll need to examine the Rank value for existing icons, you can find the stock values in the following file: Base_Lang_xxxx\mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml, where xxxx matches your Language ID code. A higher number = higher up in the chain, a lower number = lower down the chain. Any icons without a rank will be displayed at the bottom.

* Restore hidden settings items

Remove the "Redirect" value under the following keys:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Buttons]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]


* Allow in call recording with the native dialer


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AudioRecording]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"EnableCallRecordMenuItem"=dword:00000001
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001


* Disable built-in magnifier on double-tap


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\MAGNIFIER]
"Enable"=dword:0


* Override default Lock Screen notification launchers


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockSc reen\Notifications\Email]
"Application Command Line"="\Program Files\OEMApp\OEMApp.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockSc reen\Notifications\SMS]
"Application Command Line"="\Program Files\OEMApp\OEMApp.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockSc reen\Notifications\Voicemail]
"Application Command Line"="\Program Files\OEMApp\OEMApp.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockSc reen\Notifications\MissedCall]
"Application Command Line"="\Program Files\OEMApp\OEMApp.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockSc reen\Notifications\Contacts]
"Application Command Line"="\Program Files\OEMApp\OEMApp.exe"

* Porting languages in Ervius Visual Kitchen using the posted language packs

First, a quick overview of the relevant file structure in VK:


\Erv\OEM\%DEVICENAME%\%LOCALE_ID%\OEM_Lang_%LOCALE _ID%
\Erv\ROM\%DEVICENAME%\%BUILDNUMBER%\OEMXIPKernel
\Erv\SYS\%BUILDNUMBER%\DPI_%DPI%\%LOCALE_ID%
\Erv\SYS\%BUILDNUMBER%\DPI_%DPI%_resh_%RESH%_resv_ %RESV%\%LOCALE_ID%
\Erv\SYS\%BUILDNUMBER%\SHARED\%LOCALE_ID%



Possible values for the %VARIABLES% above:

%DEVICENAME%: Name of your device (Hermes, Raphael, Diamond, etc.)

%LOCALE_ID%: The 4 digit number matching your locale (list of supported id's found in first post) - a full list can be found here. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964664.aspx) It is possible to port WM to a language that is not supported, you would have to use a PE Resource editing program to translate all the various strings found in the .mui (Multilingual User Interface) files. Note that these change periodically as the builds get updated so you would also need to update your altered .mui's.

%BUILDNUMBER%: The build version in use (23022 for example)

%DPI%: DPI of the device (92, 128, 192)

%RESH%: Horizontal resolution of the device, in pixels (portrait)

%RESV%: Vertical resolution of the device, in pixels (portrait)


* Porting \SYS

The first thing you would want to do is grab the language pack matching your language. Extract it and you'll have several folders inside. Essentially what you want to do, is grab the folders that match your target device for the variables above, and copy those into the kitchen, in their respective folders.

As an example, if you were porting to Italian, on a 96 DPI, 240 by 320 device, and you had the following folder:

Base_Lang_%LOCALE_ID%_DPI_%DPI%_RESH_%RESH%_RESV_% RESV%
Base_Lang_0410_DPI_96_RESH_240_RESV_320

and place it in:

\Erv\SYS\%BUILDNUMBER%\DPI_%DPI%_resh_%RESH%_resv_ %RESV%\%LOCALE_ID%
\Erv\SYS\23022\DPI_96_resh_240_resv_320\0410

Go through each of the folders in the language pack and match it up with a destination folder this way. Compare to the existing 0409 layout to help with the structure. Note that there will be some files you are not going to use (you won't use 96 or 128 dpi files on a 192 dpi device, for example)

Once you have completed matching up each applicable folder in the language pack to a destination in \SYS this way, you're complete with that folder.

* Porting \ROM

The relevant folder here is \Erv\ROM\%DEVICENAME%\%BUILDNUMBER%\OEMXipKernel - inside you want to edit boot.rgu. The relevant keys to edit are:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"=dword:%LOCALE_ID%
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"=dword:%LOCALE_ID%


NOTE: For anyone not using Ervius VK, you will need to compile boot.rgu to boot.hv when done. Use the HV Tools.zip attached to this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=544445) for that. For anyone using Ervius VK, this is automatically compiled into boot.hv during cooking, and no further action is required.

* Porting \OEM

The relevant folder here is \Erv\OEM\%DEVICENAME%\%LOCALE_ID%\OEM_Lang_%LOCALE _ID% - you need an initflashfiles.dat that matches your language. All the folder names inside here will need to be translated to your language. I will try and make translated initflashfiles.dat for each language available soon.

You will also need to translate any other language-specific packages in \OEM and \EXT. If you don't want to bother translating the 3rd party apps, you can simply rename their .mui files to match your %LOCALE_ID%. The programs will work, but remain in their original language. You can translate these with a PE Resource editing program if you cannot find programs in your local language.

* Package Descriptions
*note: in the case of *Modules vs. *Files, the difference is simply what area of memory these objects go to when loaded (FILES or MODULES section) - other than that, no difference. Essentially, if you're using a native 6.5 kernel, you want *Modules, otherwise not. :)

Post or PM DaveShaw (or any other mod on this thread) with updates :)

[jmckeejr]

OK, So since I got a post on the first page I suppose I could keep some useful info here from the thread as well. Just in case someone missed it ;) With every new build comes a new issue, so post your fixes if you have them.

- Here are some helpful programs. First is an awesome ROM Sorting tool. This this is awesome for organizong SYS and it cleans up unwanted files left in module folders. Link HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542081&highlight=dump+sorter)
- And second is just a plug for my FlashBack package which you can use to backup and restore(automatically) lots of personal info and program settings :D Can also set manila to load automatically if you prefer it to "Windows Default", and choice to autorestore or not within program. Saves me a lot of setup time. After a flash all I need to do is restore contacts. Check it out and offer suggestions HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3841452#post3841452)

-Alter shellres.xx.dll to work with new Toolbar zoom in 23028 build. Video HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4336409&postcount=1003)

-Add your own shortcuts and icons to settings items. Post HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4336360&postcount=998) and HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4336336&postcount=996)

-A tool to remove duplicate files from modules. Post HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4339192&postcount=1061)

-Editing .tsk file for use in 23025+ builds. For adding Pivot images and Toolbar images. Post HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4357820&postcount=1379)

Great work Da_G as always. I think most people will be happy with the SYS and XIP. That is all I use, and there are so many cooks which are providing ROM's that you should use your time wisely.

On another note I we all should help to contribute to this thread. I know there are others out there with resources to new ROM's, I hope they will be as giving and share as Da_G has.

Thanks again and I will bookmark this thread and follow for new releases of SYS\XIP.

Da_G, my phone came with Wm 6.0. Now i am using 6.1/6.5. I have managed to insert initvmmap.exe and mencflt.dll into my xip, as these files have been added/replaced in the 6.1 and 6.5 xip. Now, i have also inserted required registry entries into boot.rgu in xip.bin, but i dont know how to add the entries in boot.hv. Is it necessary to do so? and if yes, then how?

it depends on kitchen
PRB kitchen creates new boot.hv
older kitchen that are using xip.bin u have to compile boot.rgu to boot.hv with HV TOOLS :D

I cook with the old kitchenn, based on bepe's kitchen 'buildos.exe".

If i do some tweaks on my XIP and on my boot.rgu, if i understand, i need to compile my new boot.hv with my modded boot.rgu ?

It's right ?

Thanks a lot :)

Hey Da_G now i need to unsuscribe the other and add this :D

How is the new tools IMGFSfrom and to... development? Hope GREAT!!!
Keep it up man... God bless friends.

[Da_G]

Haven't started on the IMGFS part of it yet, still learning some bits of C++ i'll need to create that... but nd4spd has posted a modded set of IMGFS tools here which should work good until i'm done (although the free space in each partition is hardcoded for the moment): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4186647&postcount=237

I'm probably a week or so off from posting the first test version (i'll do that in another thread) of the replacement for NBSplit/NBMerge/IMGFSFromNB/IMGFSToNB. :)

@Nixeus: Yes, when using the older kitchen you need to use program "rgucomp -b" with boot.rgu in same folder, it will compile boot.rgu to boot.hv :) Then just replace boot.rgu and boot.hv in your OEMXIPKernel. In the old kitchen to do this you'll need to dump xip.bin, replace the .hv, then rebuild xip.bin. XIPPort.exe can do this fairly easily.

Registry tips for WM 6.5

To change start menu positions

I don't have the "tools" key in my registry. I could obviously create it, but what would the string or dword values be?

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start, I see all my shortcurs with different ranks, so is that what you mean -- just change the rank?

In my last few 6.1 5.12 21051/20779 ROM builds - VK 1.8.1;

I've noticed that if I do not powercycle my RAPH every 20hrs or so, it would no longer ring on incoming calls.

When I look at the BUILD_LOG file, I noticed that modules where overflowing into SLOT0. After several back-and-forth chats with Da_G, I went ahead and RECMOD'ed modules until SLOT1 modules no longer overflowed into SLOT0.

I've left my device on over the 20hr mark and it's been stable - i.e. incoming calls ring as expected. I've also noticed that battery usage seems to have improved; coincidence?

Keep in mind that my situation is with WinMO 6.1. If you are using one of Da_G's 6.5 kitchen where he's bighammered SYS/OEM then SLOT0 might be clean for you.

Have a look at your BUILD_LOG on your next ROM build; if SLOT0 reports 0 MODULES then you're likely fine. If there's modules in SLOT0, you may experience anomalies ... mine was ringtone after 20hrs-24hrs of constant on, you could experience something different.

@indagroove:

Whoops, that's a typo, you're right, no \tools :) Fixed!

@jmckeejr:

Hilaireg is spot on with this, since you're running WM 6.5 (I assume at least) - you've got SLOT 61 and 60 available for modules - so your SLOT 0 is likely empty.

So, where is this BUILD_LOG file? Does it only get created in 1.8.1 -- cause I'm still using 1.6.

@indagroove:

Yes ... newly added to the latest VK (believe somewhere in one of the 1.7 revs).

For pre-1.7, your build rom BAT file will need to be retrofitted with MTEE & GREP. I posted one here for reference:

Hey da_g, in my platform rebuilder based kitchen, my memory map shows up like this :

0x02000000 - 0x01fe0000 - ROM 0

RAM: 0x8c3b8000 - 0x8c45c000 - Used for kernel modules
0x8c45c000 - 0x8fc00000 - 55 MB free


For a 64MB Ram device based of WM 6 nk.exe and xip with initvmmap.exe working, is this a good configuration? Or should i do something more to optimize it furthur? I use 8 MB page pool with this config, getting good performance with Wm 6.5 and having 20 MB free mem all the time.
I just want to know that whether there are other optimizations possible any further to my ROMs.
BTW, thanks a lot for starting this thread, i was waiting for so long for something like this. People flashing build upon build of Wm 6.5 without talking about background details was driving me crazy, with a c :D But now i can relax :)

[Da_G]

@krazy_about_technology:

0x02000000 - 0x01a30000 (END: 0x00060000, 32 MODULES)

So some math in hex:

0x1a30000-0x60000 = 19D0000, convert that to decimal: 27066368 bytes, or 25MB :) Not too bad for such a low mem device, some OEM's cut this as low as 20. You might want to consider recmodding some modules as a trial, see how it works with nothing in SLOT 0 for a bit, if no improvement you can always go back :)

[krazy_about_technology]

Ok thanks for the tip buddy :) Appreciate that. One more n00b question, is there any implication of recmodding modules? Will it affect performance or amount of free RAM or Battery life in any way?

Maintaining the ext/oem parts of the kitchen is easy. But porting sys is not so. :)
It will be very helpful if small FAQ is posted in the 1-st post. I think its sufficiently easy to port this new builds in existing 23xxx kitchen for TP. But not all know how ;)

1.dump the 23022 folder from the rar file in ur \kitchen\sys
2.the using the XIP_PORT... bump the content of the xip.bin....
3.go inside the out folder that is created. and then from both (files & modules) folders copy the contents MSXIPKernel into a single folder with the same name (MSXIPKernel)
4.move this MSXIPKernel folder to \ROM\Shared\23022
5. rename the old ROM\Kovsky\#build ID# folder to 23022
and ur good to go

now its my turn :p
1.is there any fix for the wierd dialer issue. it was there in 21936. how do we change it back
2.also how do we reduce the size of the "extra large" softkey bar :S
3.what do we do with the task manager!!! its all wierdly.....

thnx :)

Is anyone willing to upload these new builds/releases (perhaps even on an ongoing basis) to a file server OTHER than Rapidshare? This stuff always comes out while I'm at work, on a shared line, and RS always tells me my IP is already downloading. So I spend all day trying to download and don't get any work done. I'm sure my employer would appreciate it :D.

Well ... I have some plans for the RAPH thread as far as maintaining a new kitchen thread similar to what I did with 6.1.

On the RS issue, it's DNS related. Usually, if I flush the DNS resolver cache on my PC (or restart) the problem resolves itself. If it doesn't for you, then it's because of the DNS server cache ... which I suspect you can't go clear.

Gotta hate it when work gets in the way of play.

can you clarify number 5 please? and how do you get OEMXipKernel?

[The Jack of Clubs]

does 23022 now include all the oversided elements from the md1 (219xx) builds? if so i might stick with 23016 until that is polished out. i think it way too big and ugly. dunno what microsoft is thinking. you can go bigger than what it used to be, but ffs, is someone blind?

[agent_47]

use that from ur device official dump...or whatever u have been using already!

[DomSim]

figured that out with some research lol. thanks, but what about part 5 of the instructions there? i ask because i made a rom in visual kitchen following the porting directions and it hangs on first boot before customizations.

[yardi4life]

transcriber folder is missing from the shared\common folder in the file WM65-23022-CE-OS-5-2-4069-LANG-0409-DPI-192-RESH480-RESV640.

Port the sys is really a easy task and rename the build number is the meaning of easy... you just need the .ROM folder inside there as i can imagine you got your .vm and your wincenls form your specific device and from another build...

So for porting this you just need the Common folder you can grab your old lang and DPI AND DPI ress and you will get ported the sys!!!!!!

Defintely i will wait till next release it has so much improvements that wish to polish changing the gwes and crap like that but... as 21925... 21928 has that fixed!!! ;)

[utak3r]

I hope they will get these new things cleared fast... as it is actually, it's unusable...

[Da_G]

I find the UI perfectly usable and quite like it, personally, it works in all my 3rd party apps :)

I think everyone having problems are trying to use 3rd party software that makes changes to the UI...

If you intend to continue using that software, I think it's time to find a 6.5.0.x build you like, because the 6.5.1 builds will not have the same UX code, and that stuff won't work :)

By the way, I didn't sticky this thread because I think it's tacky to stick your own thread :P

Maybe another Mod will decide to do it :)

My only complaint is the scrollbar in the dialer -- kinda makes it a pain to use. I would guess this isn't an issue for wVGA devices, since they have the room to display the entire dialer along with the top sliding panel. Oh, and also the top row of icons in the start menu are cut off.

First of all, thanks to DaG for all stuff we have! :)
And also thanks to agent_47 for this small instruction for port this new stuff for our TP kitchen (and no only TP, but i test this on it).
But then i try this steps, platformrebuilder.exe give me an error and ROM is not cooked... :(
After small think, i find the key! Agent_47, your guide need some corrections:

1.dump the 23022 folder from the rar file in ur \kitchen\sys
2.the using the XIP_PORT... bump the content of the xip.bin....
3.go inside the "out" folder that is created. Both folders (files + modules) contain files for "\ROM\Shared\23022\MSXIPKernel" folder and for "\ROM\Raphael\23022\OEMXIPKernel" folder of the kitchen! You need create both folders in it places and copy only needed for this folders files. The list of needed files we can see in the previous versions of the kitchen.
4.Now move new MSXIPKernel folder to \ROM\Shared\23022 and OEMXIPKernel folder to \ROM\Raphael\23022\
5. also, i copy new xip.bin to the \ROM\Raphael folder and replace existing one.
and ur good to go


after this steps i build new 23022 rom and it boot perfectly! :)

[shadowline]

Has anyone else noticed the added graphics in the lockscreen sys folder? It has media controls, and titanium no longer works with WMP. Is this a step towards the new WMP they will have?

And for those having start menu problems, anyone notice this?

[ibmxx187]

Thanks again Da_g, i was wondering how would i find out what modules are used by slot 0 and what arent? I noticed when switching to 23022 the modules went up from 22 to 138 in slot 0, kind of weird.

[Da_G]

ibmxx187:

Re-read the VM post, the order of which modules are allocated is covered there. Basically you need to reduce the overall size of modules to bring down the amount of space you're using in SLOT 0. (I recommend recmodding the largest sized ones)

Remember, the number of modules in SLOT 0 is really meaningless (as the size of each module varies) - more important is how much space you are using in SLOT 0. But I can tell you that 138 modules in SLOT 0 is way too much, and you are reducing the VM space per app to such a small amount that you are probably running into all sorts of nice errors :)

I have a Tools folder under the StartMenu - but I would like to assign a graphic icon to it instead of the std folder icon, can someone explain how I do this please. I would also like to add more folders, and do the same. I want to use png files as the icon.

Has someone got the commandline switches to add a splash screen using NGHUtil??

Thanks

there are plenty dlls that contain icons and some other things... you need to go and open all of that dlls and search for the right one.. use resshacker or pexplorer...

for start menu, try this...

--first make all of your reg entries with icons like you want them and cook your rom

--then drag the icons to the order you want them in and soft reset

--then use regedit to export the reg entries for new order and use that next time you cook :)

for settings icons, here is an example

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Settings\System\MyCpl.cpl,4]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\HTC_power.png"

Yeah, I actually delete the tools icon png file out of the kitchen before cooking, because I use another one. You can either put in a new one with the same name as the stock one (as a png file), or you can cook in an icon.lnk file in the tools folder that links to a resource or icon library (that's the way I do it; I use SkizZO's icon library).

You can also change the Settings icon, or the office mobile or games.

For those of you interested, I have posted a small walkthrough of screenshots, of the features I have found in this new build on my Topaz Rom thread. Is it WVGA image heavy so I wont post it directly here.

Anyway here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4282130&postcount=424

Some interesting features there. I can't wait to see how they evolve.

[+ Que PPC]

Nice... really nice... but does the magnifier enhancement is just outside in the os? or in third party apps too? or just in default apps?

And this is a mockup, I might make one that is actually based on what the code says to do, but this is just to see the graphics of it.

I'm really glad of this thread being made, thanks Da_G.
It was annoying waiting to see the newest builds put in ROMs, I think it's 23017 still on Diamonds lol.

It is an interesting UI enhancement in theory ... but trying to find a use for it on a build where everything is already ENORMOUS is a bit of a challenge :p


Another thing ... I realise this is probably a QVGA thing but is anybody else seeing these:

Yea the magnifier seems a bit stupid to me, but maybe its for something that isnt done yet?
Also i too have that corruption in the start menu. And I am on a WVGA device.

[Da_G]

Re: start menu corruption, i see you have HTC Task Manager installed, i've found anything that draws graphics to the top bar now causes corruption like this, if you remove it (and any other 3rd party programs that draw to the top bar), it will go away :)

Oh, cool. Thanks man :D

As for the ATContacts image scaling ... must admit I still need to compare the included Titanium CPRs that are in 23022 (against my own CPRs that I replace them with in EXT to add the layouts for ATContacts, Weather, etc). It is possible this might be related.

You need to put the boot_ms.rgu in the msxipkernel folder. The boot.rgu would go in your device specific rom folder, but you should already have that.

I believe the corruption is from the SIP. Try changing to the MS SIP just for fun.

Hello there!
First a big thanks to you Da_G for bringing us those winmo updates!
I'm noob to rom cooking and I have a small question! Thanks for the small explain of how to update the kitchen using XIP/SYS updated files...now using Da_G Raph.Kitchen, XIPPort & updated release here is ok. However I cannot find where to put the languages files correctly!
In the localized files (040C for example) there are many folders, can someone explain where to put those folders ? I've seen some "Application_lang_040C" and some "base_dpi...", but I'm pretty lost in all those folders. I've been trying this last night but got lots of wired things in my frenchy rom (not usable, just home screen working in french). I suppose I put files in the wrong place.....
Thanks and keep the good work!
DarkAngel

PS: I did search the forum but cannot find any kind of tutorial for languages cooking......

[Da_G]

I think I can whip up a guide for that.. i'll put it in the 4th post soon.

[d_train]

Hey Da_G - was build 23019 an actual build, or was ConFlipper playing with us on the last thread?

Thanks for your constant updates and information :)

On another note: Is it possible to brick or kill your phone with too much flashing of ROMs? I am starting to get weird lock ups and unexplained hardware resets that I wasn't getting before - I have replaced all the kitchen items, disabled AV checking for my kitchen folder, cleaned up the HDD so that the system hums along, but still get them - I get more build failures now than ever before. Just wondering if I have "over cooked" my device :)

Thanks

DT

[Da_G]

I suggest trying a stock ROM for a short period of time, if the behavior is noticed there you have something to be suspicious of, if not, it's an ingrediant most likely :)

(it was a joke)

hi, very nice job, and im seeing that the build is looking better

but i have 3 problems

1) Sometimes im scrolling something down, os pressing, it show a small zoom cube, how can i remove this?????? or how it works, so can i take care =x!
Solution:

* Disable built-in magnifier on double-tap


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\MAGNIFIER]
"Enable"=dword:0


2) TopBar is strange o0

hey i just fixed the dialer issue by replacing all of the "phone" files in the 23022 sys with the "phone" files from the 23016 sys.

I have a small request...

My end call button does not end calls on the call screen. Does anyone know of a registry key to fix this? What did I leave out of my ROM?

Thanks to anyone who knows, I did search the forum and it eludes me! :P

Also thank you Da_G for all your help and informative loooonnnggg posts full of knowledge, it made me a chef!

[jmckeejr]

Thank god. Who thought it was a good idea to change it to the scrolling one anyway??

And now, so that this isn't a total waste of a post, here's MSXIPKernal for 23022 attached, since I haven't seen it posted yet.

Thanks, I tried for a while to port the xip.bin and everytime Visual Kitchen sdaid it was unsuccessfull. I did get the folders in XIP_New_ported folder and tried using those, but made ROM not bootable. I have been having issues with porting XIP.bin for a few builds now. Maybe its time to try another method or rebuild my kitchen from scratch :( Anyway, thanks a lot(although I dont think I even want to waste the time with all the issues in this build)

oops, fixed, thanks :)

I think he beat me to the Visual Kitchen guide. I'll probably be adding some visual kitchen info into my guide soon, though, seeing that the all-mighty Ivanmmj is going to be making a visual kitchen for my Wing.

But my guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4215191&postcount=10) will still definitely help all of us old-school chefs!

Nope, 23022 source has netcf 3.5 but haven't noticed on other/older builds sources.

Re: .NET CF 3.7, this is a beta version of 4.0

It is missing a number of things that WM6.5 still uses (notably direct3d) so I do not recommend using it. The newer build of 3.5 in this release is better for use on WM 6.5 :) (in fact it fixes a few bugs with rich rendering engine in some apps)

I've noticed that the .net 3.5 that is now coming in the newer sys builds has more modules than previous .net 3.5 packages which only have one module (netcfmail3_5.dll). The newer packages with more modules seem to cause some issues for me with my 6.1 kernel, so I always swap out for the older 3.5 package.

[rgb-rgb]

Da_G,

I would like to say thank you first for all you have done. You have spoiled us all and since you are not releasing the full kitchen now, some of us have to figure out how to do things that we have never had to do before. I appreciate the time that you have put in to all of this.

Now, I had to figure out how to get the new build into the visual kitchen and have seen several guides posted but didn't know exactly which one to follow because of the different tools that are available to create ROMS.

I have been using the Kitchen that you provided in the Raphael ROM Development thread and just had to figure out how to get the new files into the kitchen. I believe this is the ervius visual kitchen version 1.6

So using bits and peices from other posts here and looking at the structure of the Kitchen, I wrote a step by step guide for updating the Visual Kitchen that you have released previously to the new build posted in this thread.

Hope it helps someone else here also. Let me know if any changes need to be made. There might be an easier way to do this, but this way did work for me and I was able to make a bootable ROM on the first try:)

[Da_G]

Linked rgb-rgb's guide in the first post, great work :)

[wmserver]

Da_G,
When I boot up my Fuze, it shows D 5.0.?? (I assume is the driver version).
I Xipport dump the 23022 xip.bin to MSXipKernel and OEMXipKernel and I use both.
Do I use both the dumped MSXipKernel and OEMXipKernel for my Fuze or do I use the existing OEMXipKernel ?

The version number is not important but I just want to make sure I have the 5.11 driver in my ROM.

Thanks for all you do.

Hi All,

everytime i cooked a rom i always get the old icons on the taskbar, for example the antenna icon for 6.1 devices is a little bit thicker than the one from 6.5. i think these icons are in shellres.192.dll, which are always included in the SYS but again my taskbar always rocks the old icons, i thought it was something on my OEM folder but i really do not know where to look anymore, perhaps a registry??? any suggestions?? i'm using old kitchen layout not platform builder.

you must to have a shellres dll somewhere in your oem packages. check every folder man.

Are you sure there isn't shellres.192.dl in EXT or OEM folder?, that folder will be process after SYS, so the default shellres.192.dll will be replaced.

So you still use old kitchen, buildOS will report error if you have file with same name, and if you are not encounter error during BuildOS process it mean there is only one shellres.192.dll and one shellres.192.dll.0409.mui in your kitchen. :rolleyes:

Since you don't use vista orb skin, How if you get shellres.192.dll.0409.mui out from your kitchen?? but i don't sure about it.

dont use the oemxipkernel from the xip.bin of new build on your blackstone...you need oemxipkernel from your device and msxipkernel from new build. you can get oemxipkernel for your device by dumping official blackstone rom with ervius kitchen and taking from that.

To me it looked the same, although it looks a little snapier than 23022...

Is the interface more refined?

i didnt tried 23022 caus of the bigger bottom. but i tried 21928 where the bottom started getting bigger.
but i assume that it conflicts the manila and overlaps some part of its bottom. right??

That exactly what I was talking about earlier. And Miri has always been one to help in sharing builds and other things.

Thanks my friend

Thanks for sharing, miri

Without 23024 dpi, there won't be difference in gui if we take dpi from 23022. If not I was going to ask screenshots. :p

Best Regards

Thanks miri:)

are there wvga and dutch(0413) files available?

[OneSman7]

From what I got by looking into files there are X, OK, pivots and pivots background for each of the themes.
Don't know if it was so in 23022, but ROM cookers may already start putting in their own graphics for each theme to make 23024 look even more pretty.
And do not forget to change taskbar buttons' graphics firstly since they are of too low resolution. ;)

Also, is the media control on lockscreen working? Again from graphics I can deduce that it must consist from several pages (there are special arrows to show switching).

For this problem check StartMenu_Global_XXXxXXX.cpr
<Form Width="XXX" Height="XXX">
<Image ID="Background" Left="0" Top="-XX"/>
</Form>

Change "Top" 0 with XX in StartMenu_GridScene_XXXxXXX.cpr
<GridView ID="Start Menu Items List" Top="0" Left="0" Width="YYY" Height="ZZZ" Columns="3" Scrollable="TRUE" HexagonGrid="TRUE" HorizontalWrapAround="TRUE" PaginatedScrolling="TRUE">

It work for 480x800 for me :)

Hi,
have you adapted this ROM to xperia? hox is it compared to 23009?

Question for Da_G or someone,

In Da_G's Raphael kitchen under the SYS\[Build #]\SHARED\COMMON folder there is a .ROM folder with 2 files in it. It contains imageinfo.bin and imageinfo.txt files.

How do I create this .ROM folder from the new sys that Miri posted? Or, do I even need it?

I tried placeing that SYS folder from Miri into the Kitchen\MyTools\SYS\dump folder and running the doit.bat file but get an error about not being able to open a Skybox_Lang_0409\MyPhoneConsole.exe.0409.mui\S001 file. But, I'm not sure this is even anything I need to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

1e: You don't need the .rom folder in ervius kitchen.
2th: You must make a 23024 SYS folder yourself from the miri SYS
Take the existing SYS folder as example. :)

Yes, some functions do not work with this latest version, like phonecanvas so I disable this.

I will certainly release this version for the flashoolic :)

Thank you, that was exaclty what I need to know. I had created the SYS folder with the exception of the .ROM folder.

Will give it a try.

Sorry for noob questions, still learning on ervius kitchen..:D

can any one help me to make one for Trinity???
please every one.....

First thanks to Da_G and Miri,
looks like the 23024 is a much better build for Touch HD, phone canvas is much better now -not perfect - but you can use it.... For me 23024 looks more speedy and stable. Give it a try.

[smaury]

Yes you can place it in \SYS\[build]\SHARED\COMMON.

How is the phone canvas working for VGA on 23024? Is it still wacky scrolling?

1. am not getting those button backgrounds in the softkeybar. see my screenshot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=214461&stc=1&d=1249843415
am on topaz and i use dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800 of 23016 build.
is that the issue?
2. also the top bar is disturbed in start menu.
3. the start menu icons are moving upwards.

any solution to all this? anyone?

[Mr. Makk]

I personally feel build 2016 was the end of wm6.5. nearly based on this build the current devices will be provided 6.5 roms. cause new builds require htc and many other applications to rework there app resolutions to match with wm6.5.x.

now is the start of either 6.5.x or wm7. where everythig changes in wm.
lets see. i personally hate the fact that my screen space is reduced. i wish they keep the idea of this button things in softkey bar but make it small like before. what do you guys say?

Umm...No?? 6.5 is still in development, so no.

Are you using an older tapres.192.dll?

[ivanmmj]

I'm working on a script that organizes all these SYS files/languages into the hierarchy needed for ervius's kitchen and any other kitchen based on it. (It does all languages at once.) But I'm still having a few bugs with the script (it's a big script so I made a few mistakes.) When I'm done with it, I'll post it here. (Or I'll post it here in a minute if you guys can help me debug where the problem is coming from. lol) Actually... it's lunch time. Later...

[Mr. Makk]

Are you using an older tapres.192.dll?

tapres is i guess in base folders. if yes then am using from new build only. its only the dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800 folders that i use from build 23016.

Re: "End of 6.5 Development"

To be precise, 6.5 ended at 21234. Then followed 6.5.0.1.. 6.5.0.2... so forth.. :P

[Mr. Makk]

Umm...No?? 6.5 is still in development, so no.

but if thats the case then htc will have to revamp every single app of there. specially manila and hone canvas, as both get cut from bottom. or is M$ gonna reduce the size of softkeybar back to normal?

so wm6.5 is for older devices,
6.5.1 for topaz n rhodium etc.
n wm7 for multitouch devices?

or is it that wm7 minus multitouch for topaz n rhodium type devices
n wm7 plus multitouch for advanced devices?

Concerning backgrounds: are they in SYS in BASE_DPI_XXX folder?
And do you have a proper DPI for your device?
