is it possible to update the wm6 kernel without reflashing the whole rom ? if so can this be done regardless of localisation data (language, keyboard settings...) ?
if not, is it possible to change language settings (download language packs, as for windows vista) on a wm6 device ?
thanks for the technical advices.
1) Not really, WM architecture was not made to be flashed in parts though theoretically there might be a way around it.
2) Yes there are language packs. Check out http://buzzdev.net for examples.
thank you for the info.
I understand from thes readings that WM6 is mui-enabled.
the difficulty thus resides in extracting .mui files from the ms provided internationalized images.
from then, creating a .cab with the .mui and a reg edition for language code should be comparatively simplier.
maybe some top-skilled dev at xda could help streamline this stuff ? (<== lot of international page hits)
(just downloaded the fr localization, but the link for tadzio tools is down atm)
Who would be willing to help me cooking my own ROM with some programs that I particularly like, such as CoreMedia Player, HTC Home, Resco Explorer, SMS Bubbles and some other. I would also like to be able to translate them to spanish and french but I think that might be a job for titans.... Well anyway, if anybody would be so kind.

On step 12 of this tutorial when I write -nosplit, I get it's impossible to extract the image.
try it without the " - "
how do you add/remove programs?
please advise me, can i install a touchflo interface on my device without flashing a new rom but just only installing a cab file?
thanks in advance!
yes you can in WM6
just install the cab ang configure.. so easy
have fun
I don't think its so easy, maybe on WM6.1
But can you give me a link to the CAB-File???
The touch.dll of Touch-FLO Roms has 55kb
The touch.dll of WM6.1 has 55kb
The touch.dll of WM6 has 28kb
I tried one time to install Bioscroll (TouchFlo without Cube) on my original HTC WM6, after that try I had to reinstall the ROM.
hehe try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343583
Actually i failed to install it. The developer did not create a cab-file yet...
does anybody can give link to a cab-file?
thanks

being tired of seeing too many protected roms floating around, i decided to make japanese wm6.1 cooking base files myself. it took me awhile, but i finally figured it out. i would like to share my experience of making a japanese wm6.1 rom for hermes here.
actually, it is not that difficult, and all i did was just assembling pieces from different official roms. so, i would NEVER call it my OWN rom or anything because every part of the original roms was developed by MS and HTC. (sorry, but i really think it's too funny many people, who know slightly better than others, put their names in the ver info, apply procection or whatever to their roms, and say "this is my own rom!" for something made out of other roms originally built by MS and HTC.... is this place for dev info sharing for similar-minded guys? donations?? c'mon!)
i will explain about the details step by step later. here's a rough tutorial.
things you need:
[tools]
Pandora Kitchen (thanks to mattk_r) for cooking and burning
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1364931&postcount=1
or
i prefer bepe's Extended Hermes Kitchen for WM6.1
http://rapidshare.com/files/88850555/HERMES_DEV_v2.1_Build_19199.rar
G'Reloc.exe as usual
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1524413&postcount=1
[roms]
bepe's kitchen (thanks to him!) for simple and working oem folder and xip (OEMXIPKernel only)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1177762&postcount=1
x04ht (japanese softbank diamond) rom for most of the sys part
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2998164&postcount=1
htc hermes official wm6.0 rom simply for os.nb as a template
http://rapidshare.com/files/46467733/HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108.exe
htc kaiser (or opal) official wm6.1 rom for dpi_96 files
http://rapidshare.com/files/157469239/Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.rar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441689
s11ht (japanese emobile kaiser) official rom for 0411_dpi_96
ftp://htc-jp.com/EM/S11HT_firm_V2_6_881_0_JPN.exe
[basic strategy]
[oem]
1) bepe's oem folder is very simple and clean for cooking (some modifications are necessary in *.rgu files, tho)
2) replace OEM.cer by the one from x04ht rom
[rom]
1) basically, you can take OEMXIPKernel from bepe's xip or from htc hermes official wm6.0 rom
2) MSXIPKernel and MSXIPKernelLTK are from x04ht rom or whatever you want
3) use os.nb from htc hermes official wm6.0 rom just as a template
[sys] (tricky)
1) the base is opal sys. but remove all the language specific (0409) folders.
2) take the language specific but non-vga folders from x04ht, x05ht or whatever wm6.1 japanese rom (0411 folders not including dpi_192)
3) take language specific qvga folders (the 0411_DPI_96 folders) from s11ht
4) take .vm folder, packages.* in metadata folder, and service.exe in os folder, shell32.exe and shellres.dll in shell folder from hermes official or bepe's sys. (irda is not included in opal rom. take them from bepe's rom if you wanna use irda.)
[points]
1) don't forget to copy WinCENLS_Lang_0411 into your sys. otherwise, the device does not boot since WinCENLS_Lang_0411 is not included in xip.
2) if you take sys from any newer versions, taskmgr does not work since it is not signed by softbank. remove mxipupdate_taskmgr_shell_1.provxml in base_lang_0411. it's useless, anyway.
3) this method does not create shotcuts in windows\appbuttons. you need create those shortcuts with japanese names yourself to make the buttons work properly. (does anyone know how these shortcuts are automatically created?)
4) os ver info is stored in the original files. (read here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172925&postcount=1) you can change the ver info as you want, but i REALLY hate to see ver info with someone's name or some personally customized splash screeens. so, the ver info does not reflect the actual ver you take all the files from.
5) i don't think this works only with hermes but with any other qvga devices (you have to change xip part.) hope many other qvga device users can make (assemple?) their own japanese wm6.1 roms freely.
question:
i made a shortcut file with 14 japanese (2 byte) letters and put it in the windows directory, but the hermes did not boot. i changed the name to 13 japanese letters, and then it booted... are there any filename restrictions for east asian language files??
reserved for step-by-step guide
here is the japanese wm6.1 cooking base files for hermes
sys: 21014
xip: 21014
oem: basically based on htc oem
http://www.mediafire.com/?3almqggzvgy (OS.NB.payload is not included. place one in rom folder.)
sys: 20931
xip: 20931
oem: basically based on bepe's oem
others: commmanager and calc replaced for the touch looks
note: i did not modified the ver info in shellres.dll.0411.mui, and the ver info shown in control panel does not reflect the real os ver.
note2: this file is just for cookers. i will not provide the rom tuned up for my own use. i will not response to "please send me your rom" requests. (sorry)
link
http://www.mediafire.com/?2gfymtframj
you can use these files FREELY since i simply assembled them from the other roms. they don't belong to be from the beginning. (.VM is not included. take it from another hermes rom to cook it!!)
happy new year, and happy cooking!
Congrats and welcome to hermes cooking sir. if you need a copy of a unprotected rom of mine, just let me know, PM or post
Peace sir,
Joshua
Very big thank for you...

I'm Andy. Thank you very much, qtotter-san.
Lately I've been thinkin about changing my handheld (I'm using BA and MPx200 at this moment). But, despite my condition as a Japanese language student, I would love to have a Handheld powered by Japanese Windows OS. To buy Japan's handheld seems to expensive for me, so I decided to search for Japanese ROM first, then decide which one shall I buy.
I've been searching all the time for Japanese ROM (not 日本語化 ROM but 日本語版 ROM FILES), n finally, look what I found here, not only Japanese ROM, but Hermes WM6.1 Japanese cooking base (very big thanks ^o^). I've tried to search in xda-developers, and some other forum, but still unable to find Japanese ROM. I'd also sent private messages to Japanese developers here, but still I have no idea where to find Japanese ROM.
And now, I found this thread. This really helps me.
心から感謝を申し上げます。(kokoro kara kansha wo moushiagemasu)
Once again thank You very much, qtotter-san. I really appreciate your hardwork.

Opal/Diamond Dialpad
if you use opal dialpad with japanese wm6.1 rom, smart dialing stops working. i happened to find a solution while playing with my diamond. just delete the following reg key to make smart dialing work.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch]
"SmartFilterFlags"=dword:00000002
This entry is in the *.rgu of Base_Lang_0411.
Download won't start
Is anything wrong with the server?
Woops!
Problem solved by deleting temporary internet files
updated japanese wm6.1 base to 21014
i will update msg #3 shortly.
