problem during cooking - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

sorry for this new thread but i have searched all wiki and part of forum and i haven't found any solutions.
Q1 - In LVSW rom, autorun is enabled, but in Black edition, it is disabled. can any one tell me how to modify this, i think it was defined in registry. but where? i found some things here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"AutoRun"="\\Windows\\autorun.exe"
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Windows\\config.txt"
"AutoRunFlag"=dword:1
"AutoRunType"=dword:1
"TurnRadioFlag"=dword:0
Q2 - how to modify OS vesion which is displayed in Device Information.. for example:
LVSW's os vesion is always 3.22.200.2
Black 1.2 is 3.22.200.4 but Black v2.0 is Pro Black 2.0
thanks in advance.

I am not sure on your first question??
On question nr.2 this can not be any simpler. I searched the registry for the phrase "Pro Black" and found the key and changed it to whatever and that showed up under device information.

Extended ROM autorun is achieved by the following 4 steps:
1. include checkautorun.exe and checkautorun.lnk under \windows in your ROM
2. make sure that checkautorun.lnk is in \Windows\Startup. This is done with a line like
Code:
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("CheckAutoRun.lnk","\Windows\CheckAutoRun.lnk")
in initflashfiles.dat
3. add the following registry keys (or make sure they are there):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"AutoRunType"=dword:0
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Extended_ROM\\config.txt"
"AutoRun"="\\Extended_ROM\\autorun.exe"
4.Then of course you will need to have an extended rom with autorun.exe and config.txt + other stuff in it to run.
I hope this helps.

HKLM\Software\OEM
The key ROMVersion..change it to whatever you like..

thanks a lot Halldor, eluth and bernardryan, i will try.

Remember to set AutoRunFlag to 0

Advanced ext.rom config - del or move files from cmd line

Hi mates,
I'm currently modifying my ext.rom to install and configure every app I use, but also to configure windows itself. I managed to find a workaround for almost every issue I got, but I'm still stuck with one thing ^_^
Does anyone know a cmd-line tool to delete/move some files ?
So as I can include a batch in my extended rom installation, as I want my start menu re-organised.
Thank you for your answers !
niKo
I know copy and execute exe's but not delete or move, perhaps you could (if you program at all) write a very basic ppc app to move/delete the files and run that with extrom installation
I'm kind of a developper, but never tried myself to ppc world ^^
And.... I unfortunately miss time right now to learn that, so I would rather find a nice little .exe to do that for me
Thanks anyway !

After disassembling autorun.exe I found some interresting strings which would seem that besides the known commands:
Show
Exec
cab
copy1 and copy2 (copy&paste)
Lock
Reset
It could also delete, and some more usefull stuff:
Code:
(Ignore the "a"; its added by the disassembler)
aAutoruncfg 000160CC
aAutoruntype 00016618
aBkl1 000165F0
aCab 00016190 ; install Cab
aComm 000160E4
aComm_0 00016654

aCpy2 00016154 ;paste
aDelete 0001601C
aDelloadvdiskfl 00016630
aDisabled 000162F0 ;Flag
aEnabled 000162E0 ;Flag

aS 0001627C
aSLoadvdisk_lnk 00016528
aShow 00016184 ;show background image during install
aTurnradioflag 000165FC
aVal 00016058
XML:
Is another command, usage, unknown
Hope these strings help you building your perfect extended Rom.
You could Write a testfile eg.: test.txt and test2.txt to your extended rom of your device (because this file stays during hard reset), make a config.txt only containing the line:
Code:
Forceremove: \Extended_ROM\test.txt
Delete: \Extended_ROM\test2.txt
Otherwise try:
Code:
Exec:\windows\DeleteFile.exe \Extended_ROM\test.txt ; <- this one most defenatly works!!!

Very interesting indeed ! But unfortunately I couldn't manage to make them delete my files..... What I tried :

Delete: \path\file

None of that worked out.

THIS IS THE FILE I NEED !!!! It looks like it's not a standard OS file, I guess Faria had it integrated into a cooked rom, so..... PLEASE ! anyone having that rom could send it to me ?
Thanks for your answers, it's been very helpfull.

WM6 - which rom!

Hiya everyone,
I'm a bit of a noobie when it comes to flashing phones - but I'm really wanting to get a stable reliable version of WM6 on my Tytn. I've had the HTC Offical WM6 ROM (that keeps hangin when the phone goes to sleep - have to SR to get the phone working again), I've tried Black Satin (the WiFi/new Com Manager doesn't seem to work very well).
There seems to be tonnes of different ROMs - and I'm wondering is there one that stands out above the rest for reliability?
I've done a search and not found the answer to this - so anyone with any info....?
Ta people
A
My best recommendation is READ the threads on the different roms.
The comments on them will give you a good idea of how the ROMs are running on people's phones.
The Best Rom Ever:
Schap's 3.57a, or any ROM proudly made by Schap's.

I'd have to agree with this except for one minor thing.....BB Connect will not work with Schap's Rom.
Anyone willing to Hex Edit it and make it work? I PM'd Schap however I'm assuming he's already flooded with requests.
I guess we can help by suggesting things you may want to look out for:
Only some of these may/may not be important to you...
BBConnect compaitibility
Big Storage, Free RAM & Storage
Smart Dialling
3G Video Dialling
Office Version (They're all pretty much 2007 now, but not all have OneNote)
BT issues - Stereo, DUN vs/and Internet Sharing
Included apps, Standard File Explorer
Included Dialpad style & functions, Kaiser/std ?
Included CommManager & Style
Speed & Stability
MMS/SMS combins (Arcsoft Version)
Included operator settings?
Included Homescreens - HTC Weather etc etc
VOIP functionality
PTT functionality
I'm sure there are loads more...
Lets turn this thread into something useful. Rather than this rom is better than that, etc, lets help the Noobs by adding to this list of things they may want to consider.
my £0.02.
i've tried most, and i'd definitely go for schap's, preferably 3.57

All current ROMs ( and you do want to run the latest, as 99% ROMs released before June have issues ) on this forum are based on the same release. So technically speaking they are all same. The difference is added / removed applications and how well this was done.
Regarding BBC - even if the ROM does not state the compatibility - it is a matter of 4 simple steps to make it compatible. 1) Download the ROM file, unrar it to desktop - you'll get 2 files extracted .exe and .nbh ( RUUWrapper.exe RUU_signed.nbh ) 2) Run winhex ( http://www.x-ways.net/ ) and load the .nbh file, HEX search for the first string in my signature and replace it with the second string. There is going to be 2 occurences you'll have to replace. Save the .nbh file 3) execute the .exe file to flash the .nbh ROM file to your device 4) after the flash use a registry editor to change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Versions] "Aku"=".2.3.0"
Of course you have to be careful and all disclaimers apply
If this is over your head - just PM me.

Definitely not over my head......and THANK YOU for putting it in simple steps.
I've read thread upon thread upon thread here trying to figure out how to do this and there is just so much information, it's almost too much and too confusing at times.
I'll post back whether or not I was successful!

ROMDonalds Kitchen v1.0 - The Educational Kitchen - UPDATED 01/08/07

FOREWORD:
I would like to keep this thread EXPLICITLY for people who want to learn how to MANUALLY cook and the questions surrounding the topic.
If you are a "GOD MODE" and you are more interested in insulting people for trying to learn DONT read this thread
n00bs DO YOUR RESEARCH!! - See links in my Signature and at the bottom of my second post
If you are answering a question PLEASE answer it fully and as simply as possible.
WELCOME TO ROMDonalds!!!!!!!!!
This kitchen is designed for those users, like me, who have been using their devices for a while and want to learn the methodologies behind hand cooking a ROM. By hand cooking I mean manually adding OEM software, adding CAB’s so they don’t have to be installed after flashing, hand editing registry hives and such like.
Don’t get me wrong GUI kitchens are excellent but, to fully understand the processes that go on behind cooking your own ROM,I feel that it should be done manually so you can see and hopefully understand what happens at each stage, so you could say that this is more of an educational kitchen.
.
.
How It Works
There are various stages to cooking a ROM, so when you run “ROMDonalds.exe” you will find a group of files, ordered by number, logically, you start at number 1, and follow the process through to completion.
After running “ROMDonalds.exe” you will find a new folder on your desktop called “ROM Donalds” this is your kitchen.
Inside each of these files are all the various pieces of software you will need to complete that particular stage of the process in addition to this there is an instruction manual that walks you through each step, with background information on what is happening not just the required steps.
.
.
The Kitchen Software
All of the software in this kitchen is available in other kitchens in various forms, some of the software has been slightly edited from original form but not by much, so I do not profess to having produced some revolutionary cooking software as it all currently exists.
The difference is that instead of having a folder full of tools with strange looking names, which would be intimidating and confusing to a new user, everything is sectioned out with instructions.
.
.
Thanks:
Special Thanks to Midget_1990 for helping with the software
Thanks to all those who originally designed the softwares used in this kitchen, namely:
Tadzio - for his tools
bepe - for his tools
the-equinoxe - Splash Screen Tools
dutty - NBH Tool
also thanks to anyone I forgot (sorry about that!)

3) Section in "How To Cook.pdf" on converting CAB to OEM needs refining, if you are new to this ignore the section and just use the OEM apps i have included until i make this section better
4) There is a folder in ROMDonalds called "09-AdvancedTools" . . some may asy why... the answer is that these "Advanced Tools" are the most useful ones i have found in my travels while creating this kitchen, I have not written about each one in the "How To Cook.pdf" but i may in the future. If you need help with these ask in the thread and i will update my first 2 posts accordingly.

Instructions
1: run the package creator
2: select open CAB and direct it at your CAB
3: When Cab Analyzer comes up, select extract (the icon 3 to the left of the folder icon with "MSCE" undernearth it) THis will open up the "extract" windows, you will notice that it is already pointing at a folder in your C:\XXXXX (XXXX will be the name of the CAB) you MUST extract it to this directory (it is only a temp and it will be moved to desktop in abit)
4: once extracted close the CAB manager, then the initflashfiles tab will open in the package creator. Select "enable options" then select your CUSTOM shortcuts (the initflashfiles.txt will already have the intended shortcuts in it, these are extra ones if you want any) when you have finished here press apply and done
5: set name for the option.xml and the section you want it to show in, then press complete package. On your desktop now you will find your package!
hope you like it, it is really fast once you get used to it!!

First to say you thank you. I was waiting for this. Great work Man.
hi - I like the name , i too believe in alot of manual cooking because i feel its the best way to learn. I use most of your tools and also htc rom tool by dark simpson. I'll have a look at your animated startup screens - been looking for those.
well done mate you deserved it. although i busy with my new toy in my sig I will give your kitchen a try to see what i can dish up for myself.

You will find the kitchen very familiar, it has nothing you wont have used already!! (although you may want to look at the advanced tools folder!!)
i would really appreciate it if you could cook and follow my instructions just to see in there are any obvious mistakes (Other than spelling & grammar!!)
Thanks alot
Great work man... will give it a spin later. Thanks
Nice work mate
Cooking for the masses eh, do you have a "drive through"
benec,
The combined clean battery and 3G icon cab does not work. I get a message saying that i dont have permissions to install that cab.
Trying to overrite the dll file into window also has the same effect

This is great, easy to digest information, great work piecing all this together and writing the pdf.
One thing I must say is I very much do enjoy the use of the visual package selection method, manualley cooking in the cabs is great but being able to check a box next to what I want is always a plus.

I like GUI cooking too, please dnt think i am belitteling other Kitchen designers!
MY problem's with the GUI cooking method are:
1) YOU DONT LEARN ANYTHING - THE MOST IMPORTANT PART - THE IDEA OF THIS KITCHEN IS TO TEACH PEOPLE WHAT GOES ON WHEN COOKING
2) its lazy, as the install screen of ROMDonalds says "Getting Something Is Good, Doing It Yourself Is Better!!!" (im not saying its not a great idea that people can customise their own ROMs that fast, and have whatever they want included)
3) its hard to modify an already cooked rom (i.e. Black Satin on Pandora)
4) its not guaranteed to work, stupid errors thrown up with no option to fix
5) if you cant change the base ROM you are stuck with it, also what you think is a good base, someone else may say sucks and visa versa
6) there is way more OEM software about than CAB's so if you manually cook, you are not restricted by what is included int he kitchen
I created a kitchen like this so i could learn in the way I WANTED to learn, not with some of the hap-hazard instructions there are available.
I found that through using the instructions i have published i have learned alot about the stages of cooking, so now, when i look at other kitchens, and it tells me to "Dump Rom" or "extract XIP" etc, i know wats going on!!
(also when errors in the GUI kitchens come up, i have a MUCH better understanding of where and why the error has occured!!)
I hope people find it as usefull as i have!
I love this kitchen I have allready learned TONS from it, I am just saying it would be nice to be able to use this kitchen AND be able to use a GUI for adding more packages as well.
But I completly understand your thinking and I definently have allready learned alot!!!
And again I appreciate your taking the time to put this together with a great PDF walkthru.
I am also wondering if there is anyway to delete something from the windows dir after it has been copied elsewhere ? or if you can move files instead of copying them. I am looking to cooking in Opera and it requires a few files in a few diffrent dirs and I would hate to have copies of these files in the windows dir and the dirs they are suppost to be in.

you mean to create 1 folder called "Opera" and have all of the dir's and files for Opera inside that folder so you can drop it into the windows dir on a dumped ROM?
this can be done altho im not sure how, i want to include this into my instructions but as i said im not sure on how to go about it, JJ did it with some of the black ROMs, Satin definately.
only thing i can suggest is to dump SATIN and see how JJ did it!!
If you find anything please post it here so i can include it, and ill do the same.
Unable to find default.hv & user.hv in dump folder and a couple other questions
Hello Bennec83,
Thanks for the informative kitchen tools!! I am hoping to create a custom made ROM from these tools.
Question:
I have dumped the recently released Dopod ROM without difficulty and am now at the stage (stage C before C.1) of finding the two files in the dump folder: default.hv and user.hv ...I performed a search and then manually looked for the files without success. I have followed the format for dumping and I may be missing something but these files are not appearing...Any suggestions??
Also, if I wanted to delete say windows auto update or other folders in this ROM without creating a conflict, this dumping section would be the appropriate area, correct?? I guess this is the part where trial and error occurs...correct? I am trying to maximize storage space without conflicts.
Thanks so much for your time,
vjgrace

GREAT work m8! Just read your cooking instructions and they are superb. I haven't tried the kitchen yet, but from what I read it is pretty straight forward and very well explained !
Thanks for creating this, I will test in the following days and let you know of my experience
Again, great work and keep us posted of any changes...
Twist in regards to cooking in opera - there is no way to delete the files after they are copied out of the rom. I know it seems wasteful but that is the way it is. Most cooks hence keep the inclusion of this type of app down to a minimum because of storage space. Would recommend compression of opera.exe to use less storage memory - and find the oem package so you can use the rgu and initflashfiles.txt from there to make life easier.

HI,
default.hv and user.hv are a pain in the arse to find, you need to change the folder options so you can "show hidden files and folders" AND uncheck "hide protected operating system files" (see screenshot)
then the next thing i do is order everything by type, then scroll down to "HV File" and you will find them both
with regards to your second question, this is about dumping and cooking a ROM.
a ROM is originally compiled from an operating system, to change features inside the OS you need to dump the ROM differently as this kitchen (at the moment) is only for adding and removing APPs and tweaks.
To do what you want you need to get the "SYS" "OEM" and "XIP" folders from your ROM, swap them into a different kitchen (one that allows you to run something called "BuildOS.exe" )
I will be releasing one here, but the first thing to do before you start messing with the OS of your phone, is to get used to doing the methods in this kitchen.
It is my Birthday today, so i cannot put together a "BuildOS" package and instructions today but I will, soon!!
hope this helps

Problem: Re-cooking personal ROM (saving sounds and volume control)

I've been reading an gathering information for weeks now to build my own personal ROM. Since I'm unable (at the moment) to build one from scratch
Somehow it doesn't seem to work for me and I could not find an answer to my problems. I really hope some ROM Guru is willingly to help me out here.
I've used the Diamond Kitchen to extract the NBH files. And like it should it creates the OEM and SYS folders when you don't use protected ROM's like Dutty's, Swtos or Bepe's.
I've tried multiple ROM's to rebuild for my personal needs. And here are the most common problems I've encountered:
- Diamond (or Raphael) Volume Control does work. Even when it's included correct in the ROM. Reinstalling Volume Control after flasing using a CAB does work strange enough.
- The sound settings panel won't close after changing sounds.
ROM's I've tried to personalize:
- Panosha
- TOR (SubZero)
- SwiftBL
- VIC Lite
- And probably a few other ROM's I managed to extract (using the kitchen).
I've read some threads about the same problems but they seem to be part of a ROM thread instead of a specific "cooking thread". That's why I started it here.
Do you experience the same problems or do you have some good ideas than please let the rest of us know
I have the same problem
Everything seems OK, except the damned sound configuration.
If someone has an answer, we would appreciate it very much.
Thanks in advance...
Thanks for you reaction. Concerning the Volume Control, there is a way to get this to work. Just add a CAB that you call using the config.txt.
It's not ideal but it should work.
Unfortunately this procedure can't be repeated for the sound setting panel
I played with it a lot and even if I do nothing with the ROM, this sound config problem occurs. I extract the ROM and then rebuild it without modifying anything. This looks like a kitchen problem I thought.
I use Surface Kitchen v1.01. You another one, so this is a little confusing
Edit:
Maybe we can do the same without using those settings but direct in the registry?
Someone knows those keys?
Been using Kitchen 1.0.1 for a couple of days now as well. Updated the programs that were out of date. Did not help.
I also get always this error, could it be the cause?

HI iXiR
I also get the same error every time. I can not even cook the packages made with package creator. Some times I succeed but at the end it saye User.hv / custom.hv not found. Any idea?
thanks

Well, most of the times this fault is there, its a mistake with your new or edited rgu file like \\ or forgotten empty last row.

I recommend you guys try cooking the 1.93 official ROM .., i cooked a personal one for me .. no problems at all

this error is because you also have xip directory already listed in ur kitchen, so when the operation reaches that part of extracting the xip it dumps the xip and .dsm a.rgus, so basically a duplicate I dont use this kitchen but you can always press y to overite all
- The sound settings panel won't close after changing sounds.

Try adding this one to your registery:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\LSOMACORE]
"Dll"="LsOmaCore.dll"
"Prefix"="DRM"
"Index"=dword:00000001
reset and you will be able to change the ringtone/press ok on your sound settings
To make it work while cooking, just place this in a RGU file so it will be implemented in the ROM
Thanks will try that one as soon as I can.
Had one crazy thought. Since there are some replies from some real cookers here I was wondering about the next thing.
At the moment I always select option "1" in my kitchen. So I don't rebuild it (option "2"). It shouldn't but is it possible to have more success when using option "2"?
I tried all variants....
select 1 (yes) -> Access denied
select 2 (no) -> the message will appear for a lot of files... even when you always select 2 the ringtone panel won´t work
select 3 (all) -> access denied
So IMO it has no impact, which option you take...
I choose "1". I just want to cook the ROM.
Ah.. now I understand what you mean... the question at the beginning...
of course you have to select "1"...
I talked about the overwriting question (screenshots in post before)
First of all: thanks for this thread...I was going crazy with this issue..!
Has anyone tryied the reg.key posted before?
PS: @maccune...did you tryied to recook swiftbl?! How?! Is it not a protected rom??
Might be wrong about SwiftBL. Tried so many that I could be mixing them up
Tried so many because I hoped there would be one that would work just fine.
If it was up to me I'd use TOR v5 since it's basic and still a Diamond build.
Also the cooker told he didn't mind if people would use his ROM as a base ROM for your kitchen

Wohoooooooo!
It works... really great... perfect...
I also was going crazy to this issue....
now its solved.....
thx a lot.....
BUT: Another question: How can I add this as RGU File to ROM?

question to the rom cooker

hi chiefs,
i have 3 questions:
is it possible to deactive the touch calibration on the first start after flashing?
is it possible to edit the rom date in the "info" under the setting option?
how can i edit the date witch was displayed on the first start?
sorry for my bad english
To deactivate the calibration requires deactivating a package called Welcome Center which includes setting the time-zone, and the time and date.
skipping calibration is very simple... search under SYS folder the link (remember just the link!) "welcome" & remove it
then add whatever you want these couple of reg entries:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="488,502 791,181 795,825 183,827 180,178 "
"MaxCalError"=dword:00000008
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome]
"Disable"=dword:FFFFFFFF
this will auto-setup the calibration phase even if the screen will appear mis-aligned on next reboot it will be OK
for the other questions is possible for sure... but I never modded them

thx, i will try it
is there any kitchen which is better than ervius?
not really... they use the same concepts/apps to extract/assemble various things
it depends just by your tastes...
