how to change Universal pagepool ?

Please help me,thanks!

I'm not really sure but I guess this thread could give you some clues:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276630
but it might be different for Univ.

I do hope someone could make a REALLY STEP by STEP instruction for beginners like me. The instructions on the thread still sounds too complicated for me.
I do know we need a HEX Editor. Here is a link: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm

You need to get hold of a copy of BAL666's ROM editing tool and a hex editor.
Take the ROM you use and decode NK.NBF using BALs tool.
Using the Hex editor load the resultant NK.FAT file into it and do a search for 64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 ?? ?? ?? ?? 00 00 where ?? are random bits. If you are using XVI32, replace each ?? with 2E.
Shortly after this string you will see a couple of bytes reading 60 00 (or 48 00 is you are using a standard ROM). Change these to 80 00 and save the changes. Note: 48 00 is about 4.8MB, 80 00 is about 8MB etc....
Then using Bal's editor, re-encode the ROM.
Flash it to your device in the normal way.
That easy.

Can you direct us where to find BAL 666 editing tool? I did a search on this site and the net and found no hits. Thanks pug.
Is this the tool you were referring: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=848159

thanks pug ,i have change pagepool to 8MB.

How? Please elaborate more. Do I have the correct link for BAL 666 Tool? Which one should I use?

cktlcmd:
Use htc64_extended_rom_tool_v1.1.zip.
Can use to decode all *.nbf files.
Use the method describe by "pug" above.
pug:
Why need to change ?? to 2E for XVI32 hex editor?
My ?? ?? ?? ?? is 5c e8 57 90, what does it mean?

Not sure what they are, they seem to be random characters for each ROM build. Don't change them......
The 2E is the standard wildcard for hex searches in XVI32, in much the same way * is in DOS. All it does is let any characters appear in that bit of the search. If you search for BB 2E FF it will show BB AA FF, BB 01 FF etc
That HTC64 tool is the one I was on about made by Bal666
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25416&d=1133971744

OK, I was able to convert the nk.nbf file to nk.fat file. I am now stuck at a screen with a lot of numbers using the HEX Editor. What shoud I do next? What HEX address should I be looking for?

As suggested by Pug above I searched for "64 B0 00 00". My other searches did not yeild anything. I still dont see what I am supposed to correct.

Take a look.

On the picture you attached. It states the HEX ADD as "45C345". On mine, I can't find that HEX ADD. Is it supposed to be different for every ROM?

@CWKJ
Open XVI32
Open the NK.FAT file
Click on the Magnifying Glass search option.
Check the Hex String option.
Enter 64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 2E 2E 2E 2E 00 00 2E 00
Check that the Joker Char Hex is checked and 2E is entered in the box next to it.
Click OK
When the search is done, about a second it will take you to the first character in the search string. Look along it to where the last 2E in the string would be and you will see either 48 for a standard ROM or 60 for Ivans ROM.
Change this in the window on the left for 80. This will give approx 8MB of page pool.
Save the file and exit XVI32.
Recode the ROM using BALs tool and flash to device as normal.
The first four 2E's on the string do change with different ROMs.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH CWKJ AND PUG FOR THE HELP. I FINALLY FOUND IT.
PUG, give me an hour to try this out and I will load Ivan's Beta 14 and check out the button 4 for you.

@cktlcmd,
No probs, I didn't know how 4 days ago.
I got bored and flashed them all anyway, swapped DLLs about left, right and centre and none of it worked.
Thinking of giving up on it. If it works for you can you dump your registry for me so I can see if I can see where the problem lies.
Cheers,
Pug.

OK, I now have Beta 15 running with 8MB of pagepool. Give me instructions if you still want me to downgrade to Beta 14 and instructions on how to dump my registry. Let me know which ROM version registry you want.
Thanks again.

I don't know if this is what you need. But I took screen shots of the registry settings. Here are the settings using TRE registry editor too.

Anyone noticed any significant improvements after increasing paging pool?

The speed is subjective because I dont have a benchmark app, but it definitely feels faster. I tried increasing the pagepool on both Ivan's and Indra's latest release, and I definitely noticed the increased in speed. Pug is also right, increasing the pagepool seemed to have solved the Memory Leak in Ivan's ROM.
The downside is the decrease in available memory to run apps, because after a soft reset, it now only have 26.88 MB as opposed to 28.88 MB at start.
The speed increase is highly noticeable with Indra's ROM, because to begin with, Indra's ROM had the original setting of 4.8 MB, icreasing it to 8 MB made it run even faster.

How to see day and time in ONE line on today screen

Hi all,,,
Is it possible to see the day (example wednesday) date-month-year + time in ONE (1) line on the today screen
I preffer some registry edit.
I hope someone has the answer...
thanks in advance
menno

You will have to write your own Today screen plugin for that.

Take a look at rlToday:
http://www.rotlaus-software.de/projects/rltoday
It does calendars, clocks, all kinds of stuff. And it's totally customizable. You should be able to write a simple skin that does exactly what you want.

Somewhere in this forum I found a tool for that: "LMVTime"

Hi,
tried it in WM6 Emulator and on my Orbit (O2 WM6 Ger) both worked fine, but i don't use them.
I like it more in the Top Bar (like described before)
Did you close your Reg-Editor properly and waited about 30 Seconds before Soft-Resetting?

Hi all,
my solution was following entry:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
- Create a DWord value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "3".
- Soft-reset
And then i had exactly the same. With the '13 00 00 00'-Key i had to reset my phone because i didn't boot anymore

Hi again,
last words before going to Bed
The Value i mentioned is Reg-Binary not Dword.
I just double-checked it on my Orbit (with TC v2 and TaskManager - build in Registryeditor) and both told me Binary.
But anyway ... i tried your Dword 3 and it also works fine => same result

All Reg-Values
Hi all...
in another thread i found all values for the TitleBarClock-Key:
Show Time,Date,both or Battery on top bar at Today screen
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\]
Time:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=1
Date:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=2
Both:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=3
Nothing:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=0
Battery:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=0 / "TBOpt"=1

Wow this did work for me - I got the battery indicator on the title bar, but any reason why the date/time on the today screen is now 2 lines instead of on one line?

I wonder if there's a way to get the battery, time and date on the title bar?

[SOLVED] possible to change phone number length ?

I'm having a problem with my HTC touch since it is not showing names for incoming calls since I have all my contacts stored in international format
+961 (x) 123456 for more details http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322716
after struggling with the problem for one day I have found out that the problem is that phone numbers here in lebanon are 6 digits (without area code) and in most other countries 7 and wm6 considering the phone number anything greater than 8 digits
is it possible to change this through the registries?? I can't do it through regional settings since there is no regional settings for Lebanon
I found a key hklm\security\phone\PBLookupMinPhoneNumberLength it default value was 8 i tried to change that to 7 and rebooted but no luck

can anyone give me their input on this please?

SOLVED
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\CallIDMatch

Do a google search for PHMregedit. Apart from that changing values in the registry with that programme is no rocket science...

Let me edit the above instructions a bit. Below is my version:
What you need: The freeware "PHM Registry editor" software from the internet.
Step1: Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone and find the value name "CallIDMatch" not a subfolder called CallIDMatch... I was looking for a subfolder initially, which mislead me.
Step2: Change the value data from "08 00 00 00" to "0x 00 00 00" (where x is I guess the number length for incoming numbers without country code. In my case it was 7)
Step3: Reset the phone and that's done!

LZX Compression

I made a kitchen for the Herald that creates ROMs in both XPR and LZX compressions and I was wondering if you guys wanted it ported to your phones?
If you want it, I need a few things. This ROM is compatible with Bepe's Extended ROM kitchen. It won't come with OEM, ROM or XIP folders as you can get those yourselves.
The way the kitchen work is:
Run "RunMe.bat"
Choose compression algorithm. (XPR or LZX)
Follow the normal Bepe's kitchen process.
Wait as the kitchen creates the ROM (like Bepe's kitchen, but with whatever compression you chose.)
The kitchen will automatically open up the imgfs.bin in a hex editor and automatically adjust it for the wanted compression before it builds the ROM.
It automatically inserts the proper XIP drivers.
It will automatically set the Pagepool to 4MB but give you the option to change it to something else as it does.
It then automatically creates the NBH and then finally launches whatever flasher (CustomerRUU, FlashCenter, or whatever your devices use) to flash the ROM.
For those who don't know what LZX compression is:
It's a compression algorithm that, although slower (by 1-4% in real life use) gives a good amount of free storage space. In some case (like in the Herald) it makes the ROM so small that it has to be flashed through an SD card due to the Herald's flashing size requirements. On an average 50mb ROM, it takes off about 10mb. The actual cooking itself does take a LOT more CPU and RAM to do in your PC, though. Especially the RAM. (It's because the tools that actually do the compression weren't really optimized for the job.)
Anyhow, let me know if you want it.

I would like to view it
thanks

Oh yeah I would really love to try it!

Oh great , i would really like and need it to cook WM 6.5 rom , please tell us what you need .

I need to know the following:
What RUU/FlashCenter/Whatever you guys use and a link to it.
What the name of your NBH has to be when flashing through SD card (just an added bonus, not really needed.)
I need to understand what the hex editing is for in this thread.
I need a cook to volunteer a working ROM's kitchen files.
Lastely, I need two beta testers to test said ROM built in my kitchen. They'll be testing both the algorithms by testing two ROMs and reporting back to me.
EDIT: A few minutes later and I've modified the kitchen. I just need the info that I asked for above to finish it.

It is for changing the id of the os partition. In the trinity standard is 0x400 (the same in most htc devices), for P3600i the id is 0x401. You will have to make in the bat a choice, and modify the line of inserting os.nb whith nbhutils

If this is not already a feature of your kitchen, I can EASILY make it so that if you choose trinity standard you get 0x400 and if you choose P3600i you get 0x401. So I guess this kitchen will have a dual purpose. Out of curiousity, what's the difference between the two devices? And this is done to an NBH file? Wouldn't it be easier to just create the NBH with the proper OS partition address in the first place?

The diffs are a more powerfull CPU (500 MHz) and more ram. Most cookers build for P3600 so the hex edit is for trying a rom cooked for P3600. Yeah, it is more clean to generate a new nbh but you will have to convince the cookers.
FYI, you should make a separate device in the xip section, in the OEMXIPKernel. The nk.exe for P3600i should be at least rev3, and most of cookers of P3600 use nk.exe rev0

Kitchen finished but before I upload it, I think I'm going to add a script to allow both P3600 and P3600i creation. If you can get me nk.exe rev3 and it works on all trinity's, I can go ahead and make it so that it automatically updates the nk.exe on all ROMs cooked in the kitchen. Make sure it's in module form.

nk.exe rev3 works on all trinitys but it has an issue whith saving DPAPI keys in the file system. As result, after some resets you have lost all the passwords stored in the device.
To avoid this you should add a key in boot.rgu. (Take a look to the thread of P3600i or to chanvi's wm6.5 rom) Chanvi stated that even whith that key there are some issues (though it is working fine for me).
Also I prefer nk.exe rev0 to rev3. The device is better in response time (at least for me).
Also it has been appeared a "new" nk.exe, which chanvi use in his rom that should work in any trinity. I don't know if it is better or not than rev0...

Hmm... I now have to decide if it's worth the time, seeing as I'm making kitchens for EACH device and working on two Herald ROMs (while working full time). I've got two options, make it so that the right rev and registry keys go with the right device automatically, or let people do it themselves. Does anyone by any chance have both files already ready along with the registry keys? It would help a lot (since I'm already downloading kitchens and ROMs from EVERY device, it's a lot more work to research and download even more kitchens.

Here is info (ONLY FOR COOKS), how to make LZX compression work on our kitchen. This method is tested by myself and everything works fine.
Short step by step instruction:
1. Download fixed version of cecompr_nt.dll from HERE
2. Replace cecompr_nt.dll from kitchen to downloaded file.
3. Download from attachement cecompr.dll and replace it in your XIP section.
4. Open os.nb.payload in HEXeditor and find beginning of imgfs. Here is how it looks in my case (ULDR removed):
Code:
00280000 F8 AC 2C 9D E3 D4 2B 4D BD 30 91 6E D8 4F 31 DC ř¬,ťăÔ+M˝0‘nŘO1Ü
00280010 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 34 00 00 00 ............4...
00280020 08 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 10 00 00 58 50 52 00 ............XPR.
5. Replace XPR to LZX, and save this file.
6. Now you can cook with LZX compression = about 9-10 MB more free space on storage

Hi Tomme45i
Don't boot for me , what mean (ULDR removed) , i have he same HEWEditor that you but my os.nb.payload is a "reducer" , may be it's the error ?

Hi chanvi93
You can read something more about ULDR HERE. Removing ULDR partition gives you about 3 MB more free space on internal storage. You can edit it by yourself manually, or you can use XipporterEx by Ervius & udK (it is implemented in visual kitchen by ervius). Ervius kitchen have also payload_reducer, so after removing ULDR and reducing size, my os.nb.payload have size 2.6 MB You must remember to change start insert address for XIP section, otherwise your device will hang on the second splashscreen.

finally some great news..
i will try that on my kitchen - thx ivan thx tommi

Thanks Tommi45i ,
Finaly , i use visual Ervius-Bepe kitchen and shared it with all .

Yea, sorry, I got somewhat swamped with xda "work."
I worked with Ervius to add LZX compression to his visual kitchen, so anyone using it can now enjoy LZX compression.

Hi ivanmmj,
I have a strange result trying to add LZX to my kitchen :
It seems to be partly working as building is much much slower while adding file but the resulting os.nb is 10Mo bigger than with XPR compression and storage at first boot falls from 20Mo.
Any idea on why it's not working as expected ?

[Guide] build custom rom for HTC devices [NoDo & Mango tested]

Hi Dev's!
after finding out how to create my own rom I will explain the progress for everyone.
[1st step - rebuild nbh with parts from different original roms]
At first of all make sure you have RSPL/HSPL installed before you try to create/flash your rom
Download a original rom for your device to start-up
Extract the contens of the *.exe and copy the RUU_signed.nbh to a directory you like (working direktory were you can collect all tools, data during our costumation process)
use nbhTool to extract the *.nb parts from the RUU_singed.nbh
e.g.
Code:
nbhtool.exe -split RUU_signed.nbh Schubert.txt
A textfile file for nbhTool is generated modify it forthe contens you like to rebuild afterwards (e.g radio or os) ==> see attachment for a demo txt file)
rebuild a RUU_unsigned.nbh with nbhTool
e.g.
Code:
nbhtool.exe Schubert.txt
and flash it with an RUU (maybe use a costum RUU for task 29 or 00)
finish
[2nd step modify registry ==> DeveloperUnlock]
Tested official Schubert rom's Nodo & Mango (Europe & Asia)
open htcrie_0.7.0.35 and open os.nb (Version includet in WP7 Costum Rom Manual Kitchen)
do not use other versions of htcRIE (e.g. htcRIE_0.7.0.46) cause there is a huge difference when inserting IMGFS into os.nb
click on IMGFS on the left side and click Image => Save Files...
IMGFS.bin should be saved at the location of your choice
use XiDump to extract the contens of IMGFS.bin
Code:
xidump.exe imgfs.bin
The contens should be extracted in the folder IMGFS
go into this folder and copy default.hv to a save place for modifications (thats a hidden file!!)
Drag&Drop default.hv over HVEdit.exe
now a new file is created called default.hvm
delete the default.vh to prevent convusion
edit default.hvm with a text editor
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
create Key wich doesn't exists at the moment
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LVMod]
"DeveloperUnlockState"=dword:1
you can also check/add the key for maximum unsigned apps
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
"MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff
save the file and drag&drop defaul.hvm over HVEdit.exe
a new default.hv is created wich contains you modifications
copy default.hv into the IMGFS folder wich was created before
In addition to that you can copy the CustClear.provxml into the root of the IMGFS folder
make sure it is hidden & write protected
the CustClear will be directly in the Windows folder after flashing
so no need to copy CustClear from Ringtones to Windows to unlock the phone after an update via Zune
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
rename IMGFS folder to "dump"
now rebuild imgfs with ImgFromDump
Code:
ImgfsFromDump.exe IMGFS.bin IMGFS-rebuild.bin
copy IMGFS-rebuild.bin to a save folder & rename it to IMGFS.bin
go to htcRIE-0.7.0.35) and implant IMGFS with following shell comando
Code:
htcrie.exe replace /I imgfs.bin os.nb
next open os.nb with a hex editor and search for following HEX-String
Code:
C7 14 02 80 01 04 00
rewrite the next 4 HEX-Numbers with
Code:
5D D6
save the file
finished
For information the hex code wich is generated from htcRIE compared with the original os.nb hex code.
If you search for differences in this two bin files this was the first one of 14 differences.
Don't know why the others are different but work
for NoDo
Code:
| htcRIE_0.7.0.35 | Original

FYI
The attached text file contains all nb entries to rebuild the whole rom expect the spl
You only need the line for radio.nb or os.nb, the rest could be deleted if you do not need them
flash devices only if you know what you are doing, i take no responsible for any damage
thx to itje for creating a nbhMerge textfile for HTC Trophy

where are all the rom coockers?
Are Ansar & DFT the only one who knows how to make a flashable rom?
Maybe we can use this thead to collect our testing progress
- what do we have tested (also to see wait leads in an corrupt *.nbh)

I think you meant "cookers" lol. I don't think there are any "publicly" available tools atm.

@sandman01: where did you get the unofficial untouched european HTC HD7 firmware?
I would also love to look inside the rom cooking process. AFAIK there are only a few tools here on XDA, that allow rom manipulation up to a certain degree. And the custom roms need the RSPL or HSPL boot loader to flash the unofficial roms, because the official roms are signed.
However, I did not ever see any of the original roms, which brings me to my first question: where can I get them?

Hi rudelm!
with RSPL/HSPL you can flash every official HD7 rom.
Look in the HD7 Rom development section for roms you like to analyse
My only requirement is the german language is included in the rom.

Are these WP7 Rom Tools not what you're looking for?

Not really,
HTCrie is a good Tool but it isn't able to modify nbh files
If you want rom modifications you have to extract the contens and do you work.
e.g. extract os.nb or gsm.nb open it again with HTCrie and modify it
you can include other IMGFS, aso. when opend os.nb with the tool
Howerver you can't combine the *.nb files to a *.nbh when the work is done
For that operation you need something like the NbhImageTool from DaG, but with modifications (mayby the right certificat) to combine the *.nb files to an signed/correct flashabel *.nbh
see first post updated with the tools I already use

about the RSPL/HSPL stuff: I know, OSPL is the one that flashes only the official firmware files. I'm currently flooded with all these new links to more and more roms, it's so damn confusing
Maybe these tools are the right way to look for cooking roms? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240455

You are right it's a little bit confusing.
The link you mentioned needs a Costum rom with two modified certificates to work for us.
(DefaultCerts.dat & MsDefaultCerts.dat)
So you wil need a costum rom to be able to make your own update packages. :-(

custom roms build process solved

Guide
re-wrote my initial post to a guide for everyone!!

Just a quick question....
Could this be used on.... Say one of the HTC leaked mango roms to put in a reg key or 2, so when you flash it's pre-unlocked ?

For the moment I have only extract radios and os files and flash it for my purpose
tomorrow I will try to modify default.hv (regestry) to get an unlocked NoDo rom and if all seems good I will also try to flash mango from the official RUU on my HD7 (os only)
At the moment I don't know why it shouldn't work.
the issues with bricked bootloader in Cotullas XSPL thread comes from flashing the 4.x SPL which I do not include. So I think Mango isn't a problem only the new SPL 4.x
But if you were faster than me, try to flash an unmodifierd Mango os.nb and tell me if there could be built/flashed properly.
If you like to modify the regestry dump the imgfs from the os.bin andd edit the default.hv with HVEdit (see the links in the first post)
rebuild IMGFS & os.nb and than merge it together wit nbhMerge to get a flashable *.nbh
Hope that works
For now I will go to sleep
good night from austria
FYI:
yesturday I had troubles flashing a os only rom cause I use ansars costum NoDo rom wich leads in an error after flashing, don't know why.
The original RUU os.nb's worked today without issues.
At the moment I flashed the latest 1.69 NoDo rom with the 5.69 radio from the Mango rom ==> works great

Thanks, with my US HTC Trophy, there is no backup (NoDO) rom available.
I tried the leaked HTC mango rom and I liked the firmware updates/radio update. The problem is I can't unlock it. So, it would be a dream if I could take the mango rom and pre-unlock it so when it's flashed, it's already to go
Thanks for looking into this, can't wait to see if you have any luck here. Could make unlocking phones for people really easy.

[How to] for registry modification on the first post

Tested it with official Mango rom & implanted Developer Unlock & prevent from relocking
Also the trick with CustClear in /Windows
Work in the same way lik NoDo, only the hex offset were the differences are in os.nb is different

Have u been able to change the boot logo on the 4.05 mango rom?
Good guide, I missed a few parts with the hex editing to complete my rom, so thx mate

Havn't tried it jet.
I will test to change the boot logo when I'm back from work
Did you mean the HTC boot logo or the Windows Phone Animation at the beginning?

I tested the boot logo, but I can't access the setting needed in htcrie to add new. I have not tested this on NoDo rom, so I am not sure if its something in my setup or if its "locked" in Mango
Have not looked for the animated one, but I imagine I will try change that too

Yesturday I tried to change the boot logo but failed also.
Extracting Logo.bin & the spash screens itself it not a problem, however reinserting with the right compression is.
imgfsFromDump says that the compressin DLL doesn's support the right compression methode.
(tried the v5 &v7 dll)
BTW. the Logo.bin is strange, because its very small compared to the 2 big pictures which it should contain.
And its mostly filld with 00 & FF (viewed in hex editor)
Maybe the pictures are stored on an other place as well
