Hi gurus,
I have tried several official rom and I would like to know on how to I release the ULDR as Bepe had mentioned in his rom thread on the official roms.
i have just learn cooking and have managed to alter offical roms to my likings. but the storage space is just not enough on the official roms, even after cooking.
thus, can any kind chefs share with me on how to release more storage while cooking. I believe this would be relatively useful for all newbie cookers.
Thanks a million!

i am using the diamond kitchen posted in this forum.
kind of straight forward, like pressing 1 or 2 to cook or rebuild roms
You have to break it into steps, and stop after XIP merge with OS (just before buildOS)
This is where you can add, remove anything. Packages, etc.
i have managed to cook up a good storage space rom with the advice from the seniors here as well as the wikis.
but now i have another problem.
i have managed to turn one of the latest official WWE rom into Sim. Chinese. although, i have replaced all the wince.nls in the WWE rom to the asian WWE, but after cooking and flashing, it does not shows the chinese regions.
i have tried several ways but still couldnt find a way to solve this.
for replacing wince.nls in roms, is there areas which i need to look at, or files i need to replace?
btw, the cook WWE rom is entirely in chinese now on my device, the only left unsolve is the wince.nls.
one side track question, how do i disable error reporting? every now and then i received a pop up screen saying that certain task has caused an error ...
can anyone kindly help?
Ruff, if ever there's anything you don't know how to do with tools, just do it on your handset, dump and rebuild the rom. As simple as that.
So just disable the error rep and happy dumping.
^.^
i almost give up here.
i have replace the default.hv and user.hv with the one found in the CHT officlal rom but still, my Cooked WWE rom is still unable to initialise the asian wince.nls ...
what am i missing here?
can any kind soul shed some light?
2nd issue> connectionsetup keep returning an error in the first boot. how do i stop this?
hi all,
thanks for everything.
i just found out why the wince.nls is not used correctly.
after replacing the os.nb in the ROM\ folder with the os.nb from the offical chs rom, it works.
although, i dun understand why but it works now. chinese region is selectable.
i also found that the temp\dump_XIP is practically useless, as the kitchen build os without using it at all ...
guess i still need to figure out more stuff manually and stop using the CMD script. it may be the CMD scripts that is set to extract xip from os.nb when cooking rom. thus, rendering the dump_xip not being used.
thanks. if there is any advice for me, please kindly let me know.
i love XDA and thank you JugglerLKR so much for the kitchen.
Hi ruffruff,
Could you please give me any advice on how to change the OS language ? I had some translation experience on the htc wizard but it was a nightmare. I see it seem easier on diamond roms. It would be great If I could change some of the "plates" cooked on here in Italian. I really hate having the phone in wwe.

hi smogdragon,
i believe you already have a kitchen at hand.
if so, you will need to find a italian rom first and dump the rom. after which, save the dump. then find the WWE rom which you like and wish to change it to italian. dump the WWE rom and replace all the 0409 packages and files to your italian packages and files which you have dump earlier.
cook the rom and flash.
finally, i have everything working out nicely.
ram available after first boot is still not as much as the senior cookers here.
i have 2 requests and hope that some kind soul or seniors can help me with:
1) Can anyone release to me the correct backward compatible netcf3.5 for rom cooking?
2) Can anyone release to me the 20270 XIP and teach me how to port it to my cook rom?
thanks and hope that some kind soul can assist me.
I see Nothing is changed. DO you replace all the files by hand ? Or have some kind of automated procedure ? The problem for me is I've not seen any .93 build in italian yet so I don't know where to find the files without messing the build.

u dun really need the exact build for the italians mui files.
just find an available italian rom and extract all the mui files out.
in english rom, replace those 0409 folders and files with your MUI files by HAND. hehe, no pain no gain ...
do more reading on the forum. i am no expert. like you, i am also a newbie/noob in rom cooking. just trial and error. i too need guidance from the expert but in the meantime, when they are not responding, you have to DIY...
cheers

Hi,
I'm trying to cook my own rom to convert the official Russian rom into english.
I've a quick question about the replacing the 0409 folder.
I'm going to be going from 0419 folders (russian) to 0409 (english), do I delete the 0419 directories and just add in the 0409 ones, or do I have to delete the 0419 folders and then rename the 0409 to 0419.
I'm guessing just delete the 0419 ones and stick in the 0409 instead, but want to make sure.
Is there anything else I need to do. I guess I'm looking for all the 0419 folders in the \OEM and \SYS directories?
Does anyone know if this will get around the region lock on a Russian Diamond?
Plus is there anything else I will need to do?
Do I have to do anything with XIP, that's something I'm really not sure about?
Cheer

Gimme some work to do
Hi !
Great Idea, give me some work to do, maybe translating / checking translation, or stuff like this.
PM me

hey bepe
this is great!
same goes for me. just let me know if i can help.
help wanted
same for me...
Thanks for the offering, but I'm mostly fighting with the configuration of that ROM. The translation was the easy part, cos I was able to use things from existing German ROMs...
I think there will be a beta the next days and I would need you all to check that for bugs
You've got a guinea pig right now
If it does not brick my phone, I will help you testing out...

That’s the problem...
I don’t have a Hermes, so I cannot try it myself.
Bad thing is that I cannot guaranty that the ROMs I need tested would not brick a device.
I do my best, but no one is perfect and it is easy to brick a Hermes
asukal is testing the ROMs for me... he is a really good friend and I'm sure we will find a solution in case of bricking his device.
BTW, he will test the beta too... so it should not brick your devices

no, sorry... I can only make a German rom at the moment
1) If you substitute some files, reg values etc.. why you have to rebuild the Os and don't make a cab file installer??
2) Can you add to the first post ALL the registry keys changed & all the files substituted (and other things done)?
..also i want to start an italian translation project... but for now i'm searching spellcheck & words dictionary... and fixing keyboard issues..

you should try my package tool
use it to build packages of your rom and you will see that there are localized packages like: Base_Lang_0409
all files inside this localized packages should be replaced
Bepe's tool is great, give it a try.
are there any news?

What is the basic for your german rom? Auf welcher ROM-Variante basiert dein ROM?
I would prefer WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (WM6 Pro Style).
Hi, i´m very disapointed at this moment because can get a working ROM translation of WM6.1 build 19199.
To begín step by step the first thing i want is change folders names like Startup o Program files. I made changes in initFlashFiles.dat, and default.hv. but the ROM don´t boot. WHY????
What are the files i need to edit just to change folders names?.
PD: I already checked initflashfiles.dat is unicode file and remove the first two bytes, that´s not the problem.
Please HELP ME!!! i don´t know if there´s something i miss to do.
I´m very interested for doing this ROM because there isn´t any WM6.1 Spanish ROM for trinity.
Thanks.
Try donating Tom_Condon...
Don´t want anyone´s make an spanish ROM, just want to learn how to do it, but i must be missing something, it couldn´t be so dificult... but i can´t realise where is the mistake....

why you work on .hv files when you have the bepe's kitchen and all rgus you want, only have to compare the rgu from 6.1 with an original corresponding spanish wm 6.0 rgu.....
for muis, you have to translate into sys folder:
base_lang muis, browsing muis and all muis into ***_lang___ folders into sys
to do it, try with restorator 2007 (shareware)
in menus, dialogs and strings, compare them step by step with original spanish mui, with the wm 6.1 WWE, and overwrite the originals with the wwe, you now have double menus id into one, if there are corresponding in spanish and english, check if there are same voices inside, and delete the wwe, if not (if there is only the wwe) you have to translate it, in some hours of work, and if partecipate more than only a person, you can have all muis, all rgu and iniflashfiles.dat translated in spanish...
also for initflashfiles.dat and oemapps you can check them with original spanish 6.0....
I translated into italian, so you can tranlsate into spanish, or german or in every language you want.
Be not discouraged champion... to my this is escaped from my short brain, I don't also have little idea of English, but for what is here you have me
Ok. I axl have the same problem. I can make roms with old kitchen but I am unable to make then with bepe's & ervius. I don't know where I miss something but resulting roms don't boot.
We can try to put in common our researches, so if we are stopped at diferent points we can finish it up.
- I am using as a base rom FAMAN's 4.00 (for me the best spanish rom). I extract XIP from this rom.
- Then I take master bepe's WM6.1. I process it with buildos+package_tools-2.7.exe.
- Edit initflash.dat and check .hv's
- Build with buildos...
Rom doesn't boot at all.
solution found
I found a solution, and get a working ROM...
Is not the kitchen i use all of then, I think is the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui, i have modified it with restorator, i added the missing resources in my spanish mui, from the original working one. After this i delete the shellres.dll.xxxx.mui folder, and place the mui into the dump folder.
After this and after translate the registry and initflashfiles.dat into my language, and change all muis to my country code, the ROM finally boot.
Thanks Ervius and everybody for helping me so much... i have learn so much from all cookers in this forum.
Soon we will release WM6.0 and WM6.1 Spanish ROMS, stay tuned WM6.0 versión is close to finish.

New PROBLEM
Hi all, i´m close to finish spanish translation, but i have some problems.
1- MMS doesn´t appear in messaging, and Send MMS command in contacts options doesn´t work. What are the files related with this?, any mui?. I haven´t touch anything in registry but changed xxx_409 files to xxx_C0A to get files working with my language code.
2- Network Wizard or any cab for setting operator internet settings (GPRS Settings and WAP Settings) doesn´t work, it raise me a "database Error". What are the files related with this?, any mui?.
I know all these errors are caused by me in the process of translation, so in WWE original version these things works. Please Help me to find where is the mistake.
If i fix this two errors, i will be able to release a beta versión of my spanish WM6.1 ROM.
Thanks.

There are not packages, these features are included into the base ROM i`m triying to translate, i can´t separate into packages.
I´m working directy on the dump directory of the ROM, it must be some file i replace with translated one, or any reference in registry.

I am unable to make a bootabe of 6.1 . I made quite a lot from 6 with Faman, but I miss something in this one.
1.- Did you check inside the mui's to see if here is any reference to 0409?.
2.- There was a problem with the network wizard, check if operators.txt has first line null.
DEPRECATED VERSION: USE 0.2 BETA INSTEAD
PLEASE NOTICE THAT THIS KITCHEN IS A VERY EARLY BETA AS IT HAS NOT BEEN DEEPLY TESTED
*** USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY! ***
Hi guys,
after many days of testing I'm releasing my kitchen for i780.
It is very basic: no gui, only batch Windows scripts.
What you can do with this kitchen:
A) Convert your Part02.raw dumped rom to bin flashable PDA rom
B) Create a dump folder to cook your own rom and recreate a bin flashable PDA file.
Please notice that there's no tool included to edit, add or delete modules and files from rom dump.
You must use one of the tools available here in forum to do this or do this by hand.
Donwload the zip file and extract everything.
READ CAREFULLY THE README FILE IN THE ZIP ARCHIVE
This file explains how the procedures work and what you need.
PLEASE TEST THIS KITCHEN AND REPORT YOUR RESULTS
I thank chaimd for his bintonb0 tool, tadzio for his tools and Juggler for conv3 sourcecode.
I also thank Topogigi for his original procedure.
I modified conv3 tool to make it work with i780 rom files and made split and merge tools.
If you want to try this kitchen, I thank you!
[FONT="]If any guru in the forum wants to make a gui for this kitchen or insert tools for module, file and registry editing (like the ones you can find in other kitchens), it would be appreciated.[/FONT]
Issue 1: it seems there's a problem with Part02.raw conversion. It screws up connection settings. Problem is being investigated.
[Partial solution]: it seems that this problem is due to both size and language: I used an English rom to convert an Italian Part02.raw.
Using an Italian rom seems to solve the problem. But you must check the new rom size: if it's too big it gets cut down and it doesn't work.
Amazing Thank you very much!

Convert Part02.raw to .bin
Hello famusc,
Thanks for your effort to create a kitchen for the i780! I wanted to create a backup of my Dutch i780-rom (PDA: i780XKHA3) and I managed to dump part00.raw, part01.raw and part02.raw.
Now I wanted to convert part02.raw to a flashable .bin file so I could reflash this Dutch rom if I want to go back to factory defaults, but the warnings make me a bit scary to test the .bin I created, so I wanted to ask some questions first:
-The .bin has to be as large as possible, I have the i780pda_WWE_test2.bin which is 78.512 kB and my Part02.raw is 79.104 kB. The .bin I get when the conversion is finished has a size of 78.512 kB. Does this mean some data of my original dump is lost? (I kinda understand your conversion tool replaces the part02.raw file of a flashable .bin rom with another part02.raw which in my case is the Dutch part., but is all the information still in it?)
-My second question is if it is a problem if I used an English .bin with a Dutch .raw?
If you could please anwer my questions I would be very happy, because I have seen some requests for Dutch i780 roms and it might come in handy for other languages, because in this rom Windows Live Messenger is included (and obviously working). So maybe someone can extract it.
If you are interested I could upload the .raw files i have dumped and maybe you or someone else can create a flashable Dutch rom from it (or extract WLM if it is needed).
Grtz,
Manchurian

-The .bin has to be as large as possible, I have the i780pda_WWE_test2.bin which is 78.512 kB and my Part02.raw is 79.104 kB. The .bin I get when the conversion is finished has a size of 78.512 kB. Does this mean some data of my original dump is lost? (I kinda understand your conversion tool replaces the part02.raw file of a flashable .bin rom with another part02.raw which in my case is the Dutch part., but is all the information still in it?)
-My second question is if it is a problem if I used an English .bin with a Dutch .raw?
If you could please anwer my questions I would be very happy, because I have seen some requests for Dutch i780 roms and it might come in handy for other languages, because in this rom Windows Live Messenger is included (and obviously working). So maybe someone can extract it.
If you are interested I could upload the .raw files i have dumped and maybe you or someone else can create a flashable Dutch rom from it (or extract WLM if it is needed).
Grtz,
Manchurian

Thank you for using my kitchen.
First of all I ask you to use version 0.2 BETA: it contains some important corrections in conv3 tool.
Now:
1) Part02.raw is usually bigger than required. So we are interested into its shrinked size. I think that your 78512K bin file should be good.
In 0.2 kitchen it is explained how to check bin size is enough for new data.
2) It's not clear whether you'll have problem with a bin of a different language than raw file. As for my experience, I always got connection problem when I used a different language bin. You can try and then have a look at connection settings and at wifi Internet-Work settings. If you find no connection defined or you can't connect through wifi, than it doesn't work.
You should use a Dutch bin to be sure you'll have no problem.
Hope I helped you,
Bye
Hi, Thank You for your I780 Kitchen ,
this is first time i build a rom,
may i know that where can i found the file
part02.raw?
Thank You for reply =)
Dear All,
After messing around with the tweaks here on the forum, I wanted to build my own ROM.
I want it to be:
-Fast (With the known registry tweaks)
-Stable
-Graphically nice
-With the apps I like
-To have Dutch language, with an extra WWE-XT9
-With the latest OS version (.721)
My plan to do this is:
-Get a good (modded-) BaseROM (I have SkippyCentraal 2.8 in mind)
-Remove all unwanted programs
-Exchange the OS.nb (128Mb, .273) with the extracted OS.nb (.721) from a different (non-Dutch) firmware
-Cook it together and flash it to my Diamond
-Make registry changes
-Dump my own (cooked and tweaker .721-) ROM
-Compile again
-Post it here ;-)
Is this just the way it works? I have just read Lolek47's Tutorial Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413782
and it seems that simple?
Please advice...
Thanks in advance!

When I saw the tutorial I thought it is simple. But when really doing it, it is not that simple: my cooked ROM's (so far all of them) aren't even starting up. Hangups all over the place.
My advice to you is: find a good kitchen and just do it. Eventually you wil cook a decent working ROM. But don't expect to do it in a few days (like I did)
BUMP!
ive got the same plan as burdie!
But just in the WWE language, somebody knows a good tutorial?
would really like it!
yourz,

I can offer some advice, coming from cooking on a Kaiser:
I think everyone would like to make a ROM with all those things listed While it may not be impossible, it may take quite some time tweaking it just the way you want it
1. You can't use any ROM as a base ROM unless it is chef-friendly. This means that all the .dsm and .rgu files are included. If they aren't, I'd recommend starting from scratch on the latest or most stable base ROM
2. Removing programs should be easy, because all the Diamond's are organized in .dsm files instead of all being dropped in the OEMAPPS folder like the Kaiser
3. I don't really see the point of having a WWE XT9 dictionary with a dutch ROM, care to explain. Also, what are you trying to do with replacing the OS.nb?
4. I'd not recommend dumping the ROM off your diamond then compiling it. Why would you go through all that trouble when you could just make the registry tweaks you want and then cook it up?
i'd be glad to elaborate on any more of these or answer any other questions you have

hi,
short but very usefull rules from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508293
nothing is better than (electronic) paper ...
@all,
one may think of wm6.5 what one wants, comparing them roms to wm6.1 they are not my choice, though some nice effects of wm6.5 are rather nice!
I am mainly using my p3300 for tomtom navigation and phone-function in between!
wm6.5 makes tomtom runs by far more zippy, startup is reduced, recalculating an alternative route or correcting an error is done more speedily. In addition i find the graphics somehow to be far more crisp within wm6.5!
..and thats about all i really find more positive, for my usage!
wm6.5 is terrible within changing from tomtom to an incoming call, never mind trying to start an outgoing call...
the worst though is the start menue: absolutely useless to use in any way with your fingers; you always end up opening various other porgrams trying to scroll down the list
In other words:
I would be highly appreciative if someone would cook a wm6.5 alike yues extralight: speedy, stripped, light yet functional in its basics phone and gps!

I'm wanting a clean 6.5 too, but the latest builds are too buggy. I think we M$ is in the process of altering the GUI altogether and the current builds are 'passages'. Maybe we should let M$ do its thing and come out with a build which has proper finger friendly popups rather than horrible enlarged ones of the old 6.1 popups
Other than that, I'd love to cook a clean 6.5, but the ones I cooked (23034 and 23037) are extremely slow to release! If somebody tells me what files I can delete to make it faster......
WM 6.5 clean
for example

since i am registered at 4pda.ru, i see you are the cook of this rom, right?

p.s. downloading and giving it a try...

Great, this is just the right track!
This rom is really faaassst!
Unfortunately its fully russian - anything in WWE?
greetz
p.s. its "mother" Pham Quang - build 21502.5.0.7 is just the usual "snake" again!
chances of getting some help along the way?
trying to change the language via:
"use ervius VK
1- dump a swedish ROM
2- use the swedish OEM and EXT folders
3- use the swedish ROM/Kovsky/"build no."/ folder (OEMXIPKernel), just change the old build numbers to the new build ones
4- use the new ROM/Shared/"new build no."/ folder (MSXIPKernel)
4- use the new build SYS folder, but replace all 0409 folders with swedish ones from the same SYS build or similar build (eg. you can add 23022 swedish files into a 23028 build)
5- cook"
greetz
p.s.: so you can easily access the russian wm6.5 light rom from the above post by iggord, i have uplaoded it here:

Yeah I guess that should work

You want Swedish right? If so then I can probably make it and ask you to test it. If WWE I can test myself

i think you are making a mistake in step 3
as far as i know kovsky is name of device(xperia)
so you shouldnt copy OEMXIPKERNEL of that
keep the files same from older builds just change the numbers

Alright I'll give it a shot, but cannot promise when
it will probably be done without much of a hustle if the rom is dumpable

thats what i cant say for sure.
i tried to dump it with the latest ervius kitchen, i get a whole lot of output...but the kitchen seems to freeze at the end!
so to say, for me to do it quickly is the way, as i aint sure of what it is supposed to look like, never mind how i am supposed to go about it!
is there a small-stepped howto?
greetz
i have the knowhow but if the kitchen froze at "adding packages" the rom isn't dumpable....so you'll have to find another one...if you can find a rom that you want (doesn't matter if it's dumpabe) i can try to dump and cook it
do you want it with titanium or you want an extremely light rom
