vivi ROM Kitchen for iPAQ Hx4700
Mainly modified from Scoter Kitchen
Introduction
I've made this iPAQ Hx4700 ROM Kitchen because I think someone can make it,but no one 've made it till now. So I made it myself and share.
And someone asks me for this after I publish my vivi ROM Kitchen for ASUS P525.
Though it is not the best and complex Kitchen with many features and I think not many users want this Kitchen,but it's good to share.
The main aim of this ROM Kitchen is easy using, so this ROM Kitchen is only one click and follow the screen.
You will have a new ROM for iPAQ Hx4700 at ease.
Aims
1.For easy modifying private ROM.
2.For helping new user to easy start cooking ROM.
3.For sharing OEM Packages.
4.For someone makes it better.
Let's see
Before using it just let us understand in the same way as follows.

4.compose_vcard_sms.htm
5.default.html
6.read_mtgreq.htm

Vivi,
THANK YOUUUUU!!! I'd been trying to modify your ASUS kitchen with no success. The 4700 community will truly appreciate this. I agree, kozhura's rom is great.
Regards.
Thanks so much vivi! I'm so happy!
Is it possible for me to use kozhura's latest WM5 ROM as the base rom? What should I do to make that into packages and modules? Also, is there any way to calculate how much free space is left in the ROM for adding OEM packages?
Thanks again!
Thanks. This is giong to be my first "cooking" experience. A nice new way of playing around and improving the hx4700 at the same time!!
Been doing some late night cooking... tastes great. Thanks vivi for bringing this out.
Thanks for the WM5 kitchen!

What should I modify to get a 8MB or 32 MB PagePool?
Thanks.

Don't downplay your part here!
I'd had a tinker with decompiling the ROM but never quite got it to work right so I too am very grateful of your assistance here.
I had a quick play last night and the largest file I saw was Powerpoint, my old favourite for the largest waste of space on previous ROMs so first to go to make space for the useful stuff!
And just how can you remove Powerpoint?

Well simply deleting the 2.59MB ppt.exe executable from the SYS\Office folder will get rid of it, but how do you get rid of all the traces (registry settings, links, extensions) that are tied to it in a clean and efficient manner. I know I can manually remove associated files and such, but what happens to settings in the .dsm file? I can manually edit the .rgu files, but how do you edit existing settings in the .dsm files without breaking something?
Can I remove the "HP Protect Tools" OEM folder (15836286-5263-4a11-8b33-5087ced93124) safely, or is it required by other applications in the ROM?

And then, deleting ppt.exe will cause no harm, even if you leave there all the debris? 2.6MB gives quite a lot of room for small apps!

I delete the ppt.exe as suggested, but I go through every file also to be honest and remove anything that refers to powerpoint, the link file, registry values for 'pps' or 'ppt'.
Whilst doing this I remove other things I don't use (though to be fair this is from when I used the Universal which had a lot of extra crap in it) and tweak the registry value to those I want (though again I can't see that I need to change a lot here).
Easier and quicker is to do a search of all files for the contents of ppt and pps and delete from there.
Vivi many thanks to you,great work for users!
kozhura,
Appreciated your works so much.
You are genius and so kind.
Thanksssssssssss,

Hi,
I have looked a litlle in your kitchen and this is a very useful tooll, thanks !!
Here are my first questions :
1.
I have seen this folder in the OEM :
vivi\Enter Kitchen\OEM\b693f6e6-e6cd-4091-b8f3-40f2b988b169
It seems to regroup every phone manager. As I never used it and I don't inted to use it, can I delet this 2.38 Mo folder without any risk ?
2.
Does someone have information about changing keyboard or adding a new one ?
(I need an azerty one)
3. (harder)
Does someone have information about changing language of the rom ???
4.
How much space do we realy have left to add OEM packages ? (I have searched but I didn't find an information about it)
albertorrent, I can't help you specifically but when I play with ROMs I tend to keep the last working version and then tweak.
If it works fine, that is the new last saved version, otherwise I go back to the previous and tweak differently.
thanks, I think I 'm gonna do a lot of try.
I have an other question, (may be the last for today ;-))
How to add a font in the font folder in windows ?
Hi all, I'm preparing multilanguage kitchen with os 19209, I inserted ITA and ENG, but need other language to insert, who want partecipate, select in oem\ folder all htm, all mui and insert all them into oem_lang_0xxx, and all sys\_lang_0xxx folders and port me into a big zip...
I nned German and French.
How it works???
simply...
no language into rom...
you have to select your preferred language before build rom, or make modifications, Tricks.... so you can flash your preferred language rom, or publish a lot of roms in different languages, only choicing them from a list and flashing langed_rom....
if someone want share proper lang, zip it as described belov in differents sub folders _OEM_LANG_04XX; autouodate_LANG_04XX ; ecc....
and send me in mp the zip link, I tonight maybe post the kitchen so urri up if want share!!
bye!!!
TO ADD NEW LANG:
or "extract lang from rom" button, or better:
go in your oem\ folder cut and copy other place OEM_LANG_04XX;
regoto in oem\, search for all muis:
cut them and insert into OEM_LANG_04XX;
regoto in oem\ search for all "htm" files, cut all them and place into OEM_LANG_04XX;
go into kitchen\LANGS\ folder, create a new folder called: "04XX" (like your lang code) into it create 2 subfolder: oem\ and sys\
into oem\ place OEM_LANG_04XX just copied oterwhere and inserted all muis and all htm files...
now go into sys\ folder of your rom, search for : "_LANG_" folders. select all, cut and paste into kitchen\LANGS\03XX\SYS\ folder and paste all **_LANG_04** jutc cutted from your kitchen, you have created new LANG For multilanguage kitchen...
then you execute it, now, just select in downàleft corner of the kitchen the pereferred lang... wait that it will be copied into kitchen and then go to modify or build new langed rom!!!!
bye!!!
tricks for packages...
you can build more packages with same content but different langs inside, when you build rom, you can choice it in preferred language into kitchen! only have to edit "option.xml" into them and add here:
<Item name="Cyberon_Voice_Speed_Dial_v1_2_BT_Fix_sbay" group="Programmi" checked="true">
can became:
<Item name="Cyberon_Voice_Speed_Dial_v1_2_BT_Fix_sbay_ITA_LANG" group="Programmi" checked="true">
and:
<Item name="Cyberon_Voice_Speed_Dial_v1_2_BT_Fix_sbay_ENG_LANG" group="Programmi" checked="true">
and:
<Item name="Cyberon_Voice_Speed_Dial_v1_2_BT_Fix_sbay_FR_LANG" group="Programmi" checked="true">
so you can know what choice inside the same but in different language!

Spanish lang to insert into \LANGS Folder...
http://rapidshare.com/files/113898896/0C0A.zip
many thankis to *axl79* for contribution!!
many thansks for Portuguese lang to *g77*
http://rapidshare.com/files/113907547/0x0816.7z.html
P.S.: OEM Muis are from *Cruise" device try to build trinity rom in Portuguese, and if somethings doesn't works, I have to separate \oem muis for device!
P.S.: for mms muis ita are presents,
here ENG and DE, to use into mms package (maybe some modifications need also in rgu!)
http://rapidshare.com/files/113899637/mms_0407_muis.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/113899668/mms_0409_muis.rar
bye!
you can also insert "MMS_5_LANG_0409" folder into langs\0409\sys\ folder, so it automatically will be loaded at Eng. rom loading!
the tricks for packages, as you can see are a lot, only have to use your mind....
P.S.: Maybe \OEM muis for non trinity device will be unusuable... so is better if for now only trinity langs post, if other devices "\OEM" muis will be unusuable I'll separate muis in \oem for specific device!
bye!
Yeeeesssss

I don't say that i won't, i say that i go to holydays '(even from xda). but i see that the most gifted of our devz in trinity thread goes for it ( Ervius, Netdrg, perhaps Bepe...). But i've one or two questions, where do you learn both, do you work in ppc app devellopement (perhaps for HTC ).
PS: every hour on Colrou's site for your 3.30 light version, THANKS from all french users to Netdrg, and from all of us to Ervius !

Hi Ervius, nikitto and me can send you spanish LANG files for your 19209 kitchen.
Let me prepare and i will send you a private with ZIP.
Thanks for doing this GREAT Work, GREAT IDEA!!!!
Thanks Ervious.
I'm downloading right now. I have never tried to do anything like this before - so I would like to ask a few questions in order to understand what is happening.
1. I'm from Denmark, as far as I know there is no Danish 6.1 ROM, could I use a WM5 ROM?
2. Do you know of a ROM I could use to extract the Danish lanquage files from?
added spanish lang thanks to axl97, and added muis, inf, txt and all to build mms into DE and ENG Lang... now need also DE Lang for the intere rom....
bye!!
someone told me in private that have problem with sms...
try in other lang rom and check the sms send and receive , if works well, or if the program need other upgrades!
P.S.: Multilang kitchen is based on my own rom project, maybe with clean htc different languages roms works better, but I hadn't it...

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...

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

Hi every gurus and chefs,
Thanks to creators of kitchens and tools, i have had so much fun in cooking my own rom. Thank you so much.
Recently, i tried to convert the 1.93.456.2 WWE ROM to CHS. I have managed to transform 99% of the ROM into CHS. but there is only one problem. When creating the rom using the diamond kitchen or kaiser kitchen, at the ending part, it will fall back to use os.nb within the ROM\ folder.
From my understanding, the OS.NB file is an extracted OS from the original WWE ROM thus, the boot.hv, boot.rgu and wince.nls is still the WWE version. how do I replace these files?
Another question would be, when dumping the official rom, the dump_XIP folder is created. what is the use of this folder? if i make changes to the folder, how to i merge them into a usable part for cooking?
i have did a lot of reading on XIP porting, big storage rom cooking and etc. i just can't seems to locate one which explains how to replace files in os.nb or merging the XIP folder to usable part.
Can any kind soul please kindly advise?
Thanks you so much!
You may want to have a look at ababrekars SYS and XIP porting guide in Elf section....

Hi,
1. You don't have to replace/port XIP from the ROM of the same device. Only do this if you want to port other devices' ROMs such as Kaiser to Hermes, Diamond to Kaiser, Raphael to Diamond etc. It will boot.
2. Just replace the wince.nls version in the SYS\WINCENLS_WWE with the CHS one you have.
3. Modify all the MUI files and registry as to point to your Language of choice.
4. The OS.NB is needed as the shell/container for your new cooked ROM because it's the requirement for using the Tadzio's tools. So, leave it as is.
5. Cook the ROM.
At least that what I did when doing my Hermes version long before.
Cyphol.

please correct me if i was wrong..
afaik, XIP part is the same for every language,
also in the end part of the building, you need os.nb only as a "template" to rebuild the new one... it wasn't really use the content inside...
normally, you need to copy all content in the dump_xip to the ROM\XIP directory...
to learn about the process of diamond kitchen (which is based on kaiser kitchen so i assume the tools are the same), i think you better use the kaiser ROM, and try to dump it.. and see what directories and files are generated...
in kaiser kitchen, to rebuild the rom you need 3 dirs, OEM, SYS, and ROM\XIP

Hi,
1. You don't have to replace/port XIP from the ROM of the same device. Only do this if you want to port other devices' ROMs such as Kaiser to Hermes, Diamond to Kaiser, Raphael to Diamond etc. It will boot.

He would need to if he wants a different OS build. Or am I wrong?

Yes, that's right for the reason. If that's the only reason, why don't you replace the core.dll
thank you everyone for your advise.
looks like i just need more reading.
thank you cyphol, pkoper and teamee for your kind advice.
I have replace the SYS\wincenls_WWE folder with SYS\WINCENLS_0804. i believe this might be one of the problems. i will try replacing just the wince.nls within the folder instead of replacing the entire folder.
files which i have modified includes the boot.hv, user.hv, default.hv, boot.rgu, a bunch of other rgu as well. i might have missed out a few others. so i will check again.
thanks everyone for your kind advice. if there is any other suggestions or points to take note of, please kindly let me know.
your guys rocks! XDA rocks!
Does anyone have a proper SYS dump of 8335? Most rom developers have taken the malicious step of protecting their roms (while real devs like ultrashot and mwang do not), and I am unable to obtain a proper 8335 SYS dump to create an international build of my SparkW (Verzion Trophy) rom.
This might sound like whining, but after spending hours on end trying to find a unprotected rom to nab a dump out of, I haven't been able to find one (*edit* I found one with almost everything! Just need two more languages!). I'm not going to lie, I'm incredibility disappointed in the number of rom chef's that have "popped out of nowhere" releasing Windows 7.8 roms in an apparent "money grab" while offering no real support in their roms, yet adding protections to not allow anyone to even have a look.
I don't want or need anyone's XIP or OEM, I just want to create a true SYS dump. It's bad enough the only 8335 dump I've found had almost all packages in OEM (for whatever reason), and I had to dig into it to get everything into SYS like it should have been in the first place.
So here it is, I'm releasing my repackaged 0409 (US English) SYS dump for ANYONE to use. This is the same system I use in my XevRev rom for SparkW! I don't know if it contains the font fix (I hope it doesn't, since that should be implemented via different packages to keep things neat anyway).
If anyone wants to help me out my sending me a dump (even an old mixed on one with everything in OEM for some reason) with other languages, or point me in the direction of a rom I can nab them from, I'll try to create a SYS dump for EVERYONE to use, not just those who feel privileged enough to have a dump in their possession. I want to make the best SYS dump possible, and in all my searching, still haven't found one that resembles this.
This dump is setup for use with OSBuilder. Don't ask how to cook this into a rom or install it, PLEASE. This package is intended for rom chefs.
This dump does not contain XIP drivers, as I haven't been able to obtain a dump with XIP drivers integrated (if they were updated at all since 8773).

Figures, after doing this I finally find a rom that isn't protected to pull a full SYS from. It'll take me some time to extract it all and move it all into SYS proper, but expect it by the end of tonight/tomorrow EST.
Okay, I'm uploading a SYS dump that is almost complete! It is only missing Korean and Japanese. If anyone can help me by private messaging where I can get dumps for those in 8835, I can update with as complete 8835 SYS dump as we could possibly get!
Guys, I don't know what SYS do you want to find and what kind of "full unprotected SYS" are you uploading..
The original 8835 came as a set of Canonical updates with full lang pack..... All the things you are trying to dump, cook, upload and download - came from ONE self-made Nokia test rom with 0409 and 0415 included.... With old XIP from mango..... And mango lang packs.... Besides - it's old and has nothing except possibility to make the tiles smaller....
I have look into your dump, and the language packs except 0409 are not in 8835 version! ... whats the difference between the SYS 7.8 pack release since one month and your dump ??

Where is this rom that people keep talking about? I simply packaged up the stuff other devs had and am released. I would rather find a pure dump, but cannot. I can't look at/find stuff people keep talking about and never link to! T_T

I'm not trying to build a combo package! This is only what I've found, since it's been IMPOSSIBLE for me to find an original 8835 dump anywhere. I've google and searched and dug and found NOTHING in these last few weeks. Its because I missed the original release news somewhere along the line, but I cannot find an original SYS dump of 8835 anywhere (even if that dump is just some test rom as AndrewSh points out)!
I asked in several places if anyone could point me in the correct direction and was ignored, so I build these packages in an attempt to find the originals, if they exist. Lord knows that the chefs I have talked too just ignored me when I asked where they obtained their 8835 builds.
If anyone can link me to this test rom, cab updates (yeah, I doubt that's likely), or whatever it is that people got their 8835 SYS files from, that's all I want! I've exhausted the power of google to do so on my own!
I just want to create 8835 as a SYS dump, because its just silly how the chefs I've attempted to contact horde a SYS build to themselves for self-gain. If its only available with 8335 language packs in 0409 and 0415, so be it. Even if the build isn't complete... just.. whatever there is! Please help me find it!

I would love to upload and give you a link to the original 8835, but unfortunately I deleted it from my PC at the end of July. Sorry.
