[FAQ] Interface problem after Porting 96 DPI into I780 ROM - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hey All,
I've used 96DPI rom of CHT9000 and ported it into I780 Rom, after flashing, I found that the interface was not full-screen. Can anyone help me solve the problem?
The porting method:
Remain All OEM packages, *_DPI_128* Folders.

Seems like the centring is off.. try changing the provxml file or rgu file with "shmetric" .. I don't have my files with me now so I can't give you any more details

Thanks, Inertiax3. "shmetric" string is only in "Base_DPI_128" folder, I've compared the files, and they are same. So, the problem is not due to "shmetric"....But still thanks for your assistance.
I wonder some chef has occurred same problem.

Saxon, is only the control panel faulty? If so, can you only change the corresponding cpl file?

No, Inertiax, All the programs (eg, SMS, Control Panel, Program Panel) seems to be 240 *240, can not been full-screen, but after you click the SIP icon twice, the interface could be full-screen.

Intent Midlet Manager + GMail Font Size Fix ?

I have installed the latest Intent Midlet Manager available Here on my Universal with the latest Helmi_C WM6 Rom (v1.1).
But i get very small font sizes
Tried searching here but could not get a Fix
Anybody know how to fix this
the midlet manager seems to be for the wizard and not for universal. maybe it went wrong there....
do a hard reset and it should be normal.
is there a version (v.11) available for Universal.
Cause the default version cannot run the GMail app ?
I have soft reset it but does not work (a hard reset would remove the app)

You can add this key to fix.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tao\intent\conf\sys\ui\midp\vnd\font]
"stringfont"="andale,24"
"size"="24"
"labelfont"="andale,24,bold"
"alttextfont"="monotype.com,24"
Quote: Posted by pshetty: But i get very small font sizes Tried searching here but could not get a Fix Anybody know how to fix this :confused
There is a switch in the software. Open Midlet, open Gmail app:
Select... Menu < Goto < Settings
The "use small fonts" switch is enabled by default. Uncheck this, save, close the app and restart:
Font is still small but useable on Universal.
Excellent product if you need to access gmail wirelessly.

With your registry editor you have to add each of the folders mentioned in the post up to FONT, then you have to put in the four strings recommended into the FONT folder.

WM6 German Keyboard (Space to change a ->ä)

Using VW6 (Vanilla) on a Germen Hermes. Hardware Keyboard works fine except the space key to change a -> ä, u ->è etc.

You can try to duplicate the file sym.0409.txt in the windows folder and name this new file sym.0407.txt. It worked for me for the french keyboard (sym.040C.txt in french).
What Atmis said, I simply modified the sym.0409.txt file in /Windows so I easily could type Swedish characters such as å,ä & ö with a/o + space. You need to copy it over to your computer with active sync, edit the file then move it back.

Already tried to copy the origional sym.409.txt to sym.407.txt (german) but when i press the "blue" space nothing happens.
You need to replace the sym.0409.txt file if your OS is in English.

Having Hermes with QWERTZ keyboard (switzerland) and English WM6 (Vanilla)
That's interesting. I had the same issues when upgrading my device to AKU 3.3. After some changing forward backward between English and German Keyboard it suddenly worked.
I also upgraded a second device and I cannot get the space key working to change between the special letters.
I know it does not help but maybe it's an device bug. I will downgrade the device the other device when I can get it back again and see if it works with the original image.
It was working flawlessly for me, I just had to reboot the device after creating the new file.

Ehm. I am not trying to sound stupid or anything. but how do I find this"sym.409.txt"? I would like to change some of the keys into norwegian symbols like æ, ø and å.
I have just heard something about the root folder.
But in that case. where is it, I assume that I am just being blind or something but.
THanks for your help

Not blind, the file is hidden, at least on my system with Josh Manulla2D.
To see the file in Windows, using File Explorer, click on "Menu/Show All Files".
My problem is that I have made changes for my German keyboard on an English language install, but I cannot replace the file in \Windows. All I get is an Access Denied message.
Anybody know how I can get past this to replace the sym.409.txt file?
Task Manager is installed so surely it must be some service that needs killing to free up the file.

Peter
Not sure what's the issue.

[NEW] Kaiser HTC Home v.2.0.720719 BW and Color

OEM supplied by Schaps. This version already integrated in his last ROM.
Not like previous version, this version Profile Tab already work correctly. No need to do anything. I have use it for several days and I dont notice any notifications queue issue or wild vibrate at all.
But I do change the following:
-Installation directory change to \HTCHome instead of \Windows
-To get Brightness shortcut working, the same patch as previous version applied.
-The same patch applied to enable the Tab Setting through registry.
Other than that Nothing. Much better version than v1.5
Color version uploaded!!!!
If you are ROMcooker, download the htchome.dll for rom cooker .
Install sdkcert.cab if you have not done so.
There are about 100 pages of discussion about v1.5. Lets not repeat what have been discussed over there like: Clicking left most mail icon will take you to MMS, how to change music tab tolaunch HTC Audio Manager, and so on and so on. I dont plan to follow up closely on these thread as I think this version is very good already. Should there be any fix, change, etc please refer to the respective post.
Enjoy
Is this better than the one you had released with your kaiser skin?
Currently i am using that, is it worth me updating?
Thanks
Bennec, the one you are using is v1.5.xxxx. Very earlier and uncomplete version that has been tweaked to make it reliable enough to be used. This version is a new build with the profile tab working and additional features in the contact tab thatenable you to select what number ina contact for the speed dial. Definately worthed.
Can you post a version where the files do go in the windows directory? I want to cook this in, but not have duplicates.

you can, just use windiff on the SYS and OEM folders of your kitchen, the dump folder is created by processing these 2 folders, so any file dups will be in there BEFORE you run buildos.exe.
add you package, then run windiff ont he SYS and OEM folders, it will find the file duplicates, and delete the ones that ARE NOT from your new package!!

Maybe I should have been more clear.
When creating a rom, all files will be placed in the windows directory, if you need files in a different directory like the cab posted above you will have to use initflashfiles which just copy the files to a new folder, then you will have duplicates. I just don't want 2megs of photos in two spots.
Garphical Anomolies
@schen you need to swap some of the icons for my fixed ones!!
please Download this Original Icons Fix and add it to you package. 2 of the black and white icons (Music and People) dont react properly when you select them.
that link fixes them!! (it is not just yours, it is a common problem with all htc home plugins!!!)

Your question makes no sense then!
When you COOK this in obviously you would remove the version you already have in the ROM therefore you would not have the duplicates.
Also if you just created an package out of the cab above you will get NO initflashfiles therefore the package will install to the windows directory!!!

You still don't understand. My problem is NOT buildos failures. I don't want duplicates when the rom is complete. Any time you use a initflashfile you will have duplicates in the finished rom. That is what they are for. Again the problem is not with duplicates in the OEM and SYS. If you go back and check my posts you will see I helped you with this exact problem. I know how to create a rom!!!! What I don't know how to do is edit the dll file to redirect it to look in the windows directory for the png files. Hence why I'm posting.

Yes you do get a initflashfile that copies all the png files to HTCHome. See attached.
schen, installed & everything working fine, except for one, am unable to use the hardware navigational pad when accessing music tab, from there u can't proceed to go up, go to ff, rw or play button.
Touchscreen function (for all of the above ff, rw & play tabs) in music tab is working though.
thanks anyway.

Well then my answer to your question would be to remove the initflashfile, then everything would get installed to the windows directory and since you have no need for shortcuts, this would be fine!!!
been using this for a while and saw the new version a while ago. has option of more when u go to the 4 day detail in weather. fonts seem nicer and all. looks like a good upgrade to 1.5 Bennec83 irc bro

Just tried that. It doesn't work without the png files in the HTCHome directory. I guess we can't have everything.
The special dll for installing n Windows directory uploaded. Use that dll.
On the subject of weather plugin.
I am not sure why is there a need for a pre-configured xml file. Anyway, you need a gui to choose the city. Why not have a gui where you could enter the data which is stored on xml file. I suppose rather than sending an entire xml line when communicating with xml service, build an xml file base on the data entered via gui.
As I understand it, the DLL was just edited using a hex editor as \HTCHome and \Windows has the same number of characters, it sounds like it wasn't a decompile thing or something like that.
I'm not at home at the mo so I can't check but if you load the DLL up into a hex editor (winhex?) then replace all the \HTCHome text with \Windows, you should be good to go.
This is just my uderstanding though of what I've read in the previous....saga
Smiffy.

Wrong font type in comm amanger

I have tried all of the new WM6 rom's with "black" look and in most of them I get that the comm manager font is all messed up destroying the nice original look.
Has anyone experienced this problem?

Make sure your fonts size is set to medium
Hi jmermel,
Thanks for the reply.
I've checked ad the font is already set to medium.
The problem must be somewhere else...
The same thing has happened to me many times with different roms. In fact it even changed back to normal with a soft reset on some of them.
Hi,
have you the cab file of this comm manager?
Thank's

Just to make it clear, this problem also happened with other comm managers like the one from HTC Kaiser (10 button) or the one with 8 button... so maybe this has to do with some font that is changed by some piece of software.
Just guessing...
No more ideas about this...?

I have notice this problem too on many ROMs, I think that the issue comes from your today theme or do you have Wheather Panel installed on your device ?
Each time I install this soft, it happens.
Funny- I use weatherpanel too!
me too...I will try to uninstall and see what happpens
No doubt...That's WeatherPanel causing this problem.
Would it be possible to get any workaround???
Go to the weatherpanel folder in the theme folder and remove/rename the 2 TTF files (font files) that are there.
After that softreset and commmanager should be normal again...

Problem: Re-cooking personal ROM (saving sounds and volume control)

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?

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.

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
