Problem: Re-cooking personal ROM (saving sounds and volume control) - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

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 Updated the programs that were out of date.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

Hi dutty, what do you use to cook and protect your rom ? a made home version ?

Sorry, wrong thread...

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

copy1 and copy2 (copy&paste)
Lock
Reset
It could also delete, and some more usefull stuff:
Code:

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!!!

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.

Seems like a daily occurrance around here......I say LVSW 5-7 or VP3G Ver 2.0 Hyrid or VP3G Ver 3.0 or Schaps or Dopod Official or Att official or Black or CUSTEL....... (Sorry I missed a some cooks names)

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!

[PRJ]Start Kit. Kitchen. Based at official stable release (479.3WWE). UC Ready.

Just start kit. For further cooking.
Based at official release (and stable, I hope,- don't like to be beta-tester for HTC "in the dark").
It's new way for me (just began to use WinMob by Diamond), so don't bite me too much
Don't forget about Hard-SPL!
Few cosmetic changes & a little tweaked. UC ready.
In OEM left TouchFlo only.
In SYS out: OneNote, PowerPoint, WindowsLive, Help & other rubbish.
In "Install" folder - example only. You can change it to your own provider (look to OEM\CONNECTIONSETUPDB - password I found at XDA) or just use ConnectionSetup.
The most tweaks - in OEM\xxxconfig
Be careful to finish.xml - it's important file!
(return to "Internal Storage". Manila start including in this file too. You can customise it up to you. Same as *.rgu in this folder)
To find the bugs&errors better together, I think
Ideas&remarks - welcome!
It's OPEN PROJECT.
Kitchen: http://rapidshare.com/files/143594363/WWE_1.93.479.3_kitchen.zip
Example ROM (with pass for provision.zip):
http://rapidshare.com/files/143600258/1.93.19965.Light.rar
For make the same - just press !COOK.CMD in the kitchen.
Lighted packages:
http://rapidshare.com/files/144298572/PACKAGE_Diamond_PhoneCanvas.RAR
http://rapidshare.com/files/144138802/PACKAGE_Diamond_QuickGPS.RAR
The trick - in change heavy bmp files to compressed/indexed png.
And patched dll/exe, for use another files.
Not sure about using system resources in this way - up to you. Try.
Changes: http://rapidshare.com/files/144298443/changes_to_kitchen.rar
(Corrected ROM container: 19965 now. Was 20273 - just mistake. And help engine)
can I just install your rom on my Diamond?
Would like to try it, but dont want to fool around with the Kichen stuff
Been reading much on cooking the last days. This looks like a good start!
Thanks for sharing. Hope I can create my own Diamond ROM from here. If it's good enough for some of my friends I will share it on XDA as well

Not see the reason - only base functions.
You are right, but it's the fastest ROM I've ever tried
But like you said, it's very basic. Camera is not working, so you need to add all these yourself.
Now watching the kitchen files.. .."WinRAR gives the following message: Invalid or corrupt authenticity information"
It does seem to extract just normal. Is the RAR file save?
update: You might even remove the Office part from the light ROM??

Help system
I think idea to remove the help system absolutely is not the best.
Sometimes apps need it for normal work. May keep help engine alive?
Any opinions?
Please tell me one usefull hint that's provided to you because of the Help function?
For me it's wasted space on every device I've owned. If I encounter any problem they go beyond the help files
Looks pretty complicated with no real guide, will look into other kitchens!
I talk about engine (hwhelp) only. The most help files - "dead cargo", of course.
After try to push "help" button at some apps - error, could make system unstable.
P.S. made two "light" packages. ( see in the first post).
It use a little less memory, I hope.
Congratulations for this new project! If you need any help about a multilanguage (Italian) version... I'm ready!

I think, change the locale - it's only change the *.mui & may be other files in folders *_0409. Change to Italian locale - _0***, don't know exactly.

Found the mistake - "alien" rom container (from 20273) in the kitchen.
Just accident.

Somebody can explain how to (EXACTLY! step by step) change OS, XIP, SYS in this kitchen? I've read a lot of tutorial but I didn't understand how...
In example, I've got:
1) this kitchen and this "base" rom
2) another diamond rom with 20748 xip build.
If I would to update OS, XIP and SYS to newer, what I have to do?!

You don't neet "base" rom (or what you mean?) it's example only.
If you talk about rom\os.nb in the kitchen - it's just container for rom, which is empty.

Just delete oem, rom, sys & make you own "tree"
Thanks for your very QUICK reply Modilv!
So, I have just to take the parts of (maybe more) diamond romS that I need (including OS.nb??) and put theme in your kitchen..?
So simple?!
PS: no "porting" xip or something like that?
TIA
It't not "my" kitchen (just add bepe's utility to final step)
I made the "tree" only.
You can do the same.

[PRJ+ROM][UPDATAD:2009.01.05]WWE.KitchenTree. "LEGO" mode. Ready for cook.

As is.
Just press the "!COOK.CMD" file. (or make your changes before)
Old opinion:
>>8M of PP - after long time of testing looks as the optimal size for performance/RAM.<<
New opinion:
12M PP looks bit more responsible to interface.
New packages & drivers.
Tweaked several packages - for less memory use.
Tried to put all possible configs in one OEM/xxxconfig folder.
UC ready, - look to _ADDS/Internal Storage forder for example.
Mark all content of "Install" forder as "read only". Or you loose it after install or hard reset.
The best way - look inside "provision.zip" and make your own config file. Put it in "Install" folder and line as
"XML: \Storage\Install\provider.xml" to "sdconfig.txt".
Password for provision.zip you can find at the help page of Connection setup.
You need unsigned HardSPL!
Don't forget about hard reset after first install & make content of "Internal Storage/Install" READ ONLY!

It's only "timepoints" of my kitchen. With bugs, mistakes etc.
Will be glad to see opinions, founded bugs, new ideas.
EVERYBODY CAN USE IT AT ALL, if they use it for private ROM or follow the same "open" politics.
i get errors when extracting. winzip says its corrupt and win rar says invalid or corrupt authenticity information. win rar will complete the extration, but i'm not about to flash anything when there are errors. maybe upload again?

hi,
at first, i have the same problem with extracting (3.8) and authentification,
but it extracts ... i dont know, if some files wouldnt extract?
the second is
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH" !
where you are the last weeks during i flashing my rom with kaiserkitchen
(it's very good, but for beginners its very strong ... with a liitle time spend
and reading here and reading there its gone) ?
i cooked my own rom ... i think its 3 houers before ...
its always the same - iam finishing with this one - than an other cooker/flasher puts a new thread and all the works begin at zero.
but that is it what we love i think.
i will use my rom for 3 or 4 houers than i will test/use your kitchen
thank you for your work.
okokur
p.s.
my english is not so good and the time its gone to morning,
my comment to your thread means positiv/happy. it dont means any angries
Hello!
I repeat: it's not "my" kitchen.
"My" is only changes in OEM/SYS/ROM folders.
I like this kind of kitchen for useful "stepping".
Forgot, where did I find it. Somewhere here
Bit later will be update to 20757 (HD ported).
This kitchen seems of no use to me.
It needs .nb, .wrn and other files which are'n present.
Maybe some explanating how to get them, I would like to try it.

Just press !COOK.CMD.
May be damaged archive? Check the md5 sum to arh.
Ok, sorry it's working now...
Another question: a lot of files are from date 10th of July, for example the manila files. Does this mean these files really are so old???
The latest versions of manila are of a newer date are they?

Marked "stable" original Diamond manila.
If you want the alternative - look to the "_OUT" folder.
Updated to Blackstone's XIP/SYS 20757.
Manila updated to last "official": 1.1.35097.1_1630.38
Style to gray.
I just got my Diamond 2 weeks ago. I cook my first ROM using your kitchen tree but I have some questions:
1. Why the setting up screen is all black ? I thought there were some sort of Windows Mobile 6 background
2. I tried to set up bluetooth but it shows me a message box with something like "No bluetooth hardware"
I follow the instructions by just clicking !Cook.cmd. I didn't change anything in your packages. Did I do something wrong ?
Please advice. By the way, thanks for this kitchen tree.

It's just my choice: less using rom/ram memory. And not important at all. You can use yours pictures. It is the kitchen, isn't it?

I coocked my ROM with version 20755: everything's fine here with bluetooth (and all other stuff). I use bluetooth for my carkit, works fine.
I benchmarked this ROM with my usual benchmarks: it's pretty fast compared to others! I left out Opera and Google Maps, but I don't think that makes a big difference in benchmark results.
I will try your Blackstone upgrade this evening, I'm curious if that's faster than the 20755... (in fact I don;t think so).
There is one strange thing in this one: I can't change pagepool. Using pagepoolchanger.exe it says it can't find the right address...
Keep you informed...
Thank you mondilv for the this kitchens! Great job

I suppose you use the ? because you don't know why I make this remark? Well, if you like take a look at my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406640, you can compare this ROM with many others, all tested on the same device, under the same circumstances, more or less.. I will add this ROM's benchmark results later this evening.

PagePoolChanger DOES work on most 'normal' Diamond ROMs, I've used it many times before. But I guess it conflicts with the uldr thing... no problem.
here friend... like mentioned in a PM sent you this morning... I'm porting some pieces of your base sys/xip for including in my rom (dia duit), of course I'll mention that the base rom comes from your hard work
instead of upgrading the whole sys I prefer to choose faster/smaller dlls between different sys
anyway also my rom is open, because I strongly believe that this is the only way to proceed to a faster development... by sharing infos each other
but I'll prefer to share the whole kitchen on my 1st stable release, now we are at v08, because till now my rom has some bugs
thx mate!
bye,
davide

here how to change PP on diamonds:
open final .nbh file with a hex editor (I use pspad)
search the following hex value: 389FE550089FE5
as you find it change next two numbers (in an original rom, these two values are 00 25)
search again for the same hex value, again you need to modify the adjacent two values (in case of an original rom, these two values are 03 25)
values:
for pp 0 Mb: 00 25
for pp 8 Mb: 02 25
for pp 12 Mb: 0C 26
for pp 16 Mb: 10 26
of course I wasn't able to find alone... I found thx to the great & nice Seatone
have fun

I was bad surprised too. Quite big diff between close versions. About 5%, isn't it?
After trying several combination of xip/sys me like 20755 at last time.
Or xip757/sys755 - no bad too.

Early, I think. Can't to call its rom stable. Just found more bugs, think not the last for today (lighting for missed call is absent; green element in manila)
I return to home now, so new version could be tonight.

Help For updating wm6 XIP to wm6.1

First thx for helping me
I was trying to port a XIP from Touch Cruise
Yet it cant even boot in the system [only suck at the screen with the red words at the bottom]
Any clear tutorial for me. Thank you
You cannot just use the XIP from another phone.
You must get the XIP split into OEMXIPKernel and MSXIPKernel so that you can combine the new MSXIP with your existing Trinity OEMXIP.
And most of the time you would need to use the new build's SYS packages that go along with that new MSXIP.
What kitchen are using? Ervius Visual Kitchen?

Yes i am using Ervius Visual Kitchen
What i do is using the xipporterex to port the xip.
I even tried to follow the bepe tutorial from darkforceteam with bepe kitchen.
Yet same error occured.
Would u mind giving me a clear step for making it workable?
thx
Sorry but I have always used pre-extracted XIP/SYS bundles from people like Da_G that I then put into my kitchen. So I am not sure I can give you a full step through for porting the TC xip/sys from scratch.
One thing about the OEMXIP though, whenever I have used xipporterex I usually discard the generated ROM\Trinity\NEWBUILD# and replace it with a copy of my existing ROM\Trinity\OLDBUILD# (I just rename the folder to the new build number). It is just the ported ROM\Shared\NEWBUILD# folder that you want.
Again, you are also using the SYS\NEWBUILD# folder aren't you?

Oh man! You are genius!!!
My rom comes bootable after renaming the folder!
That's so fantastic
Yet the xip of the system seems hasn't update [still the old build ]
Update
I used the old Build.. therefore, my device is bootable....
Yet when i choose back the new build, ext xip and sys as the neew version,
it suck again at the screen...
Thx man i know u have tried a lot to figure out my problem.
Is it possible or better, if i upload my kitchen for u to check?

Oh thats easy. The "Rom Version" (that shows on boot) just needs to be patched (it is reading it from the copied OEMXIP).
Just go back into the Porting window then click the button "Find Date/Version on \ROM\Xip\"
That will populate the Rom Date and Rom Version fields.
You can then edit those fields and click each of the "Change" buttons to patch the newer Date/Version into the OEMXIP
You can also set the PagePool value using the "Change PP to Mb" function (it is not possible to query the current PP value however it does tell you what it previously was when you change it). You could always set it to something sensible like 4 or 6 and see what it was before that.
EDIT: If you were actually talking about the CE OS build number that shows in "About Device" then that is much harder to change. It is embedded somewhere within the MSXIP (requires hex editing I am not familiar with - and that is effectively make a "fake" build anyway).

Oh, sorry just saw this ... yeah probably better to just do that.
Just curious but why on earth do you want to port some old TC 6.1 rom anyway?
There a plenty of functional WM6.5 xip/sys bundles that we can/have ported to Trinity. Even if it has be WM6.1 there are surely newer releases of 6.1 xip/sys to choose from?
EDIT: Just a heads up but I am about to go offline for the night (end of the work day in my timezone) so if you do upload I will not reply until tomorrow.

You could extract the 23102 wm6.5 build from my last kitchen release:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5547181#post5547181
I have modified EVK slightly to allow it to build either p3600i or Trinity ROMs from the same kitchen but still there is a full QVGA xip/sys bundle there for 23102 (give or take a few sys packages).
Got to go, will try and be more helpful tomorrow

Go and find SuperSport's Tutorial Video for using Ervius Kitchen.
I have broken up the EXT packages into categories to make it simpler for new chefs but the basic concept is the same.
I have included pre-built ROM profiles to make it very simple to build ROMs out-of-the-box.
Just got to "Load ROM", choose one for your phone (P3600i or Trinity) and the click "Create ROM" to build it.
Load a few different profiles and look at what changes in the settings. That should help you see what is going on.

1 more question
I downloaded a XIP SYS Pack from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650783
However there are 5 Folders
How can i port them into the kitchen?
Thx for that
OK, this technically requires more time than I can spare to explain thoroughly ... but maybe if I just outline the steps you can do some google searching to work out exactly how to do it:
- First you need to clean up the SYS for you needs. For Trinity you need to have QVGA sys structure so that means only 96DPI and 320x240
- That means sorting the SYS package folders into an EVK SYS structure and removing the other DPI and resolution folder structures.
- Go get XIPDumpSoter (or whatever it is called now) by teh penguin so that you can use it to automatically sort the folders. Then delete any that are for other DPI or RES (eg: 192DPI or 640x480, etc). You _only_ want 96DPI and 320x240 (and of course any that are non-res specific)
- That should give you the folder structure to put into \SYS\NEWBUILD#\
- You will need to copy over the WINCENLS sys package from your existing SYS as that will not be in the new SYS (there are other replacement folders like SQM_DUMMY, and also some that we often just delete but you can learn that stuff later)
- We have already discussed what you need to do with the MSXIP
- Lastly, (and this is really very much the "art vs sicence" part), you will need to go through and "recmod" a certain number of "modules" within certain sys packages.
I simply don't have the time right now to get into recmod but if you google you will find plenty of helpful posts explaining it. I think there is even a basic recipe of what to recmod for 64M users done by JooJooBee ... that would get you going.
Put simply, at this stage you need to read read read read read lots of chef threads to pick up the finer details. Sorry I am too busy at work to be any more help than this.
Good luck.
Thank you for spending time on me
I know it is rather annoying to explain a few things
Really Really Thank you for helping me
I hope that my post could be a guide for others
Update:
The rom is still unbootable after a day of trying.
Does the OEM section be edit before updating the build?
Such as initflashfiles.dat [I read the in the tutorial that it should change to the native 6.5]
May be i started from the wrong step?
What i concern is that wm6 may not suitable to update directly to wm6.1 or wm6.5
Thank you for spending much time on helping me
If it can be google, simply give me the keyword,
I will finish the entiry
And finally, thank you!!

I'm actually going to bed before 3am tonight, so I will not be long here, but I just had a thought. When you cook the ROM, are you checking "Real WM 6.5 AKU" in the Kitchen? Don't do that. You cannot actually use a Native 6.5 Kernel on the Trinity as one does not exist. Also, as mentioned by the.Decoy before, you MUST have 'wince.nls' in your Kitchen somewhere or it will not boot. Thirdly, try cooking a version without ANY Extended packages. Only the original XIP and SYS and see if that boots. When you get that going smoothly, start adding EXT packages. Good Luck!
I'll check back in a couple days to see if you've made any progress. If you'd like to send your kitchen to me also, I'd be happy to look it over and see if I can find anything wrong in there.
Again and Again
I keep remind myself that Native 6.5 Kernel should be checked
OMG The Bug is here
And Thanks Decoy
Thank You
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update:
I saw a folder called 0_ROM_Version in EXT Shared
What is it and what function does it have?
Thx

Ummm are you trying to use a freshly extracted OEM from an official ROM?
If so then yes, there is a massive amount of conversion that must be done to it before you an cook it into a rom. Even before you break it up in to components and edit all the reg and dat files ... you first need re-sign everything with an SDK cert because you won't have the official cert that HTC built them with.
Seriously. If you are just starting out then use an existing chef's OEM (use mine or anyone else who has posted a kitchen).
Even I have not yet ever had the time to complete build an OEM from scratch (not that I don't want to one day). I was always just adapting the OEM that Chanvi had provided us in his kitchen, primarily because he had already done all the work to make it mesh with WM6.5

I am bit confused by what you said there
As Supersport explained, we do not have a Native 6.5 kernel for Trinity.
So that option should not be checked.

Again, this is why I said to try "Load ROM" and see what happened
Those are just simply EXT packages which contain 1 single provxml. Each one sets the registry value for "ROM Version" (the info that comes up in "About Device" in Settings). There is one for every type of "Saved ROM" you can build from that kitchen.
I created them so that people could build each of the several types of rom from my kitchen but never need to edit the provxml files to change what the version info was.
If you are going to try cooking your own roms, the best advice I can give you is find a text editor you like and just start opening up ALL of the REG DAT RGU and PROVXML files you can find and see what they are doing.
You can even do it from within EVK. Select the type of file on the left panel called "Editors" (or just select "All") then click "Show Editor". You can open the files it finds by double clicking them in the panel on the right.
Anything custom that ever happens in the setup of a rom is controlled by these files.
If you want to see how something works (or what it does), just open up the files and read them
Sorry, wt i mean is that my rom become bootable after unchecking it
~~ That is so amazing ~~
Now i am Reading the horrible, endless.....etc tutorial, [I can finally have my own rom ]
1 Question, I am trying to put a new wince.nls which content much more countries in the rom. Yet it comes unbootable after i have repalced it.
I googled around and found several solutions.
1 is that i should put it in OEM rather than SYS [I havn't ried it yet i think it won't work]
2 is that i should mod the size of the xip.bin
Therefore it is big enough to store it.
3 Adding in some registry with my selected country code
Thanks for helping me ~~
Sorry can't help you there.
I have never ventured beyond WWE lang for my kitchens.
