Customise ROM procedure ? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hi all ,
Is there anyway to customise the ROM ? The BuildOS program seems only allow us to modify some preset programs , so is there anyway to preinstall some other programs into the system ?
Just like Black Majik ROM (one of my favourite ROM) , it is possible to install some other apps into the system and no need to reinstall the program , so I wonder if it is possible for us to build our own custom ROM sets .
Please , if my question is too simple or being written on somewhere else in this forum , please kindly gimme a keyword for search or a link , thank you .
Regards,
Kurz

Have a look at the core kitchen:

Thanks a lot !
But I wonder if this kitchen allow me to preinstall the program into the ROM ? As I remeber , the BuildOS.exe will start an application with a green arrow icon (to make the index for the options) . However , the option is not enough to choose with . For example , if I select the game it will install both bubble breaker and solitare . Will it possible to have more option to choose with ?
Also , is it possible to preinstall other programs into it ? Say , I would like to add an VNC application , HTC Home plugin , etc to the ROM , so no need to reinstall these programs after hardreset .
Again , thanks very much for your information , but would you please explain a little more ? (or do I overlooked something ?)
Thanks a lot !

Yep! That's right. If you're trying to install the cabs from i-mate then Imaginet's Arabizer is i-mate branded. Wait (a long time) for i-mate to release WM6 for JASJAM (if ever) or buy your own legit copy of the Arabizer suite.
Arabic on jasjam
Arabic runs with any WM6 version on the jasjam using the attached files (also available on imate jasjam Arabic ROM).
Procedure:
a- Mount your EXTROM using HERMES_MountALLExtROM.cab.
b- Copy the files to the jasjam EXTROM.
. . . 1- Default_ACERT_JSJM_eula.CAB . . . . . . . . . . 243 kb
. . . 2- Default_MultiLang_AR_JSJM_eula.CAB . . . . 755 kb
. . . 3- Default_Imate_WWE_HER_V3.30.00.cab . . . 87 kb *
. . . 4- Default_PT_Reg_FixKeyboard.cab . . . . . . . . . 2 kb *
c- Using File Explorer, run the files and install on the main memory.
*Files 3 and 4 enable Arabic text on the sliding keyboard.
You can install the rest of the suite the same way, or try: http://www.smartnetwireless.com/PocketIslamPPC.htm which is free of charge and can be installed from the computer on the SD card.
Salaam,
You must extract this font.zip in yuor windows directory before you install arabic.
These are arabic fonts.
Best regards
Good luck
Actually it is not necessary to install any extra fonts.
The way I do it is, I install Pocket Islam + Bukhari & Muslim hadeeth packages, I then install the 4 files mentioned above; afterwhich I perform the configuration.
thanks for every one replay to me the message i try to install the cab file but stilll the same problem my device tell me this message can not run in this device .....

at this moment, i'm uploading to you the Arabizer of the JasJam after upgrading to WM6. and it's working perfectly on any Rom. tried and working.
here you go the arabic system and also working arabic on keyboard.
Here you go, download the file, extract it. and move it to your storage card, and instal it in order of the numbers as from 1 to 17.
You have a full arabic working system and keyboard as well.
enjoy

@ GSM system, “Please read the following carefully”.
After installing WM6 and all is well and the phone actually works:
1- Connect through the USB and copy the file (HERMES_MountALLExtROM.cab) to a folder on the phone.
2- Now on the phone, click start menu --> Programs --> File Explorer and find the file (HERMES_MountALLExtROM.cab) and click on it to install it.
3- Once installed, reset (reboot) your phone.
4- Once Windows up and running, you will notice through “Activesync” that you can see EXTROM folder and the files inside it.
5- Copy the 4 attached files to the EXTROM folder to run them from there.
6- Again, on the phone, click start menu --> Programs --> File Explorer and find the ExtROM folder, click on it to open and you will find the 4 files.
7- Install them one by one then reset your phone.
If the above description does not work for you, you need to write a step by step procedure of what exactly you are doing so that we may be able to tell you where you are going wrong.
Q- Are the file format changed when being copied?
thanks Mr. Simple i Appreciate it you brother ... but pleaes where is the file.(HERMES_MountALLExtROM.cab).
thanks to all ... i try to instill all the cab.file i maen the arabic lang but don't work ...i don't know why some device after upgrading to WM6 then instill the 17 cab file the arabic is work okay ...but some device also i-mate ..the arabic is dosen't work ...So ...where is the problem ..if can any one help me ....
best regards
I think with some wm6 roms (like the latest lsvw rom) the device is reset to be an htc tytn device instead of imate jasjam and that what is what is causing the message "cant be run on this device." As u notice when u upgrade to the latest lvsw rom, the device name is set to htc_tytn. This dose not happen on the latest black rom. This is just my thinking why is this happening. I hope someone can solve this issue as I am thinking of going back to black rom.
Salam,
I am glad I was able to help, I have attached the ExtRom mount file.
May I also add that the best version of WM6 for Arabic is LSVW of May 19 which I have been running for the past 4 days without a single problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307951
I have also attached Tahoma font file (not important).
Good luck.
Simple
Do you have Imate JasJam or a different one.
Also the 4 files attached are enough to run everything as what is seen on Jasjam or I have to add some more cabs.
Which pocket islam that is best for our device?
Thanks
I think the arabizer software is signed to work on Imate only

My device is T Mobile Vario II which is exactlly like the JasJam and the Tytn ..etc.
I tried more than 7 WM6 ROMS, and many ways of installing the Arabizer. but always
got broaken Arabic letters and the message
"can not run on this device"
Please can you all indicate what are you devices brands. Thanks
The phone I have is an i-mate Jasjam, I have upgraded this phone more than 15 times between WM5, WM6, Radio and EXTROM. This is not the first Windows Mobile phone that I have neither it is the first time I install Arabic, In fact I had a role in Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Arabisation many moons ago.
My current configuration is: IPL=1.04, SPL=1.01 MFG, Radio=1.41, OS=WM6 17913 LVSW, EXTROM=cooked. I do not install a complete ROM, and I always install individual component using MTTY.EXE (except for the radio). Immediately after a new install, I fill in user and device info; I then install the Arabic software. Initially I had a problem with the Jasjam sliding keyboard until I identified files 3 and 4 responsible for its activation.
Please notice that:
1- If you manage to install i mate Arabic ROM (WM5)
JASJAM_Arabic_1.20.305.3_1.20.304.104_1.07.03.10_ship.zip available on ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ . Arabic should be fully functional and we should no longer talk about hardware. Be very careful, things could go wrong.
2- If you install Pocket Islam suite, you will be able to view and type Arabic using the screen keyboard (there may be a RTL problem when writing Arabic).
3- You can install the Pocket Arabiser Suite from http://www.imaginet-software.com/index.aspx?p=arabizer. It should work with any windows mobile device, but the keyboard will not. You know what to do (files 3 and 4).
4- I am not sure if the Arabisation software checks for a Jasjam signature, if such, you may need to install one or all:
. . . Default_MT_PC_Hermes_Generic_REG_060609.CAB
. . . Default_AHermesKBFlag_JSJM_eula.CAB
. . . Default_PP_KeyBoard_Layout.cab
. . . Default_PP_Version.cab
5- Try a clean EXTROM with only Arabic files in it, in case particular files are preventing Arabic files from running.
6- Try the way I do it (review my previous post) it may work for you then you can uninstall the software you do not need.
I apologize for the lengthy post, but I felt it may be important to a lot of people.
Good luck.
Dear Mr. Simple ....
i am thankfull caz you are Support this sabjact ....i have i-mate JASJAM after upgrading to WM6 no accept Arabic that is the problem ..i try any mathed to install arabic but dosen't work ...your mathed and more but no way so please if you can help me ..Mr. Simple to fixed this problem ...
with my best regards
@ GSM system,
Do not worry, if it works for me, it should work for you. Try the following:
1- Download the WM5 jasjam ROM from imate site (mentioned in my previous post).
2- Extract the EXTROM.nb file (this is the complete jasjam extended rom)
3- using MTTY.EXE install it to the phone like this:
USB> task 32
USB> lnb ExtROM.nb 57500000
USB> task 8
3- Ensure you have WM6 (preferably LVSW as it installs the extended rom automatically) is installed.
4- Press (Left Soft Key + Right Soft Key + Reset) all at once and install the whole lot.
5- If it does not install automatically, mount the EXTROM and run Autorun.exe.
I hope you understand that the problem is not in the method/s provided, the problem is in applying them (or your hardware, which is unlikely). Concentrate on using the exact files provided and ensuring the steps are followed carefully.
Now, please notice saying "i try any mathed to install arabic but dosen't work ...your mathed and more but no way so please if you can help me" does not help much. You need to list the exact steps you are executing, at what stage an error appears and the error message.
If all fails, see if you can install the full jasjam WM5 ROM and if Arabic works for you then, if it does not, you may have a Hardware fault.
Can you also tell us; when you bought the phone was Arabic installed on it?
Important: A large number of this forum visitors are people with issues/problems or with development interests. Please have them in mind and ensure that your writing is as clear and descriptive as possible to help them or to enable them to contribute effectively .
Good luck.
Dear Simple ..
i am so sorry to bother you but i don't have any one to helpe me just you the problem now i don't have the Mtty.exe how to find this ...the my another qustion this mathed do by MS dos or how can i do it this ......
respactfully
@ GSM system,
You still did not come back with what I asked for, a step by step scenario and the error message!!
You need to do a lot of reading, please refer to:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes and go through some tutorials.
Also to: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG where you will find mtty.exe inside the SPL-1.01MFG_Pack.zip file.
I can only tell you 4 points that may save you time when trying to connect:
1- The file you need to load using mtty must be .nb (like EXTROM.nb)
2- to be able to connect the device must be in the IPL SPL page (color screen) to get there press (Power button + OK button + reset) release the reset then the other two.
3- to be able to connect using mtty you must disable activesync USB connection, do the following: right click on the Activesync icon on the task bar, then click on Connection Settings... and uncheck Allow USB connections.
4- It is best to have the file you wish to upload to the phone in the same folder as mtty.exe.
You are now in dangerous territory, navigate very very carefully; you could end up damaging your phone, what you want to learn is not difficult and already on the forum. Make sure you read the WIKI properly and use the search option of this board.
Good luck.

Recomendate ROM !!!

Hi !
I already try to use all ROMS wich already is newest - nice, but there is not all what i want !
I'm looking Eng ROM - fast, stable, w6.1 - without too much don't need original windows plugins - like Windows Auto Update etc.
+Nice Themes and POSSIBILITY to change BackGrounds, Themes,different clocks, HTC Home designs etc+HTC Home Customizer - most of newest roms not possible to do this or not so easy!!!
+possibility to install & remove programs wich don't need (also wich included in rom)
+advanced system options & settings (sound of system, keypad, buttons configuration, animation, startup etc.)
+support of GPS + TomTom7 (some of newest roms have problem with GPS)
Tnx in any advice !!!
I Recomend:
In my opinion the best for you is:
YuE_v10.0_ExtraClean_WWE
It has the minimum necessary files to work. Anything else you want you can install with cabs, cause it has lots of free memory.
It doesn't have most of the features you described, but it has space for you to install ONLY the ones you need.
where can i find YuE_v10.0_ExtraClean_WWE
i have the 9.1 installed now but i'm having a few problems with the phone crashing when im in a call and also selecting text by high-lighting with the stylus..
whats new in version 10???
Cheers

FastGPS from X2

Can anybody patch the FastGPSsetup.cab from the original X2 to use with the X1.
I tried the cab. Installation is o.k. but after a restart it is no more possible to go on Start Menu.
I put it in the attachements.
it doesn't need to be patched. it should (i can't guarantee it) work if you install more cabs, but I haven't checked too much.
which cabs should I install in addition?
I tried instlling after fastgps other programs.
but just the same happens, after instllation of fastgps the startmenu is out of order.
