Hi all ,
Is there anyway to customise the ROM ? The BuildOS program seems only allow us to modify some preset programs , so is there anyway to preinstall some other programs into the system ?
Just like Black Majik ROM (one of my favourite ROM) , it is possible to install some other apps into the system and no need to reinstall the program , so I wonder if it is possible for us to build our own custom ROM sets .
Please , if my question is too simple or being written on somewhere else in this forum , please kindly gimme a keyword for search or a link , thank you .
Regards,
Kurz

Thanks a lot !
But I wonder if this kitchen allow me to preinstall the program into the ROM ? As I remeber , the BuildOS.exe will start an application with a green arrow icon (to make the index for the options) . However , the option is not enough to choose with . For example , if I select the game it will install both bubble breaker and solitare . Will it possible to have more option to choose with ?
Also , is it possible to preinstall other programs into it ? Say , I would like to add an VNC application , HTC Home plugin , etc to the ROM , so no need to reinstall these programs after hardreset .
Again , thanks very much for your information , but would you please explain a little more ? (or do I overlooked something ?)
Thanks a lot !

Hello all,
you're like me and love to try severals Diamond ROMs on this forum ?
You're tired of re-instal every apps, wifi and other settings after ROM upgrade, me too !
I wasn't a SPB backup user, I used Sprite backup.
A few days ago, I read on a french forum ( before I forget, THANKS Bepe to make fabulous french ROMs ! ) about some new modes in SPB backup 2 software :
ROM and Device Upgrade Modes !!!
What ? Is it possible ?
So last night I try it, I have done a full backup of the official HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05 ROM with all my favorites ( S2U2, TF3D config, Second Today, Ringo, Resco explorer and registry, Schaps advanced config, batti ) and many others ) apps and settings.
Just after flash to 0.98 french Bepe ROM, I restore the auto exe backup and....
Dream come true !
ALL ( and really all ) my apps and settings are back on this new ROM, the only thing you have to do is to re-organise the windows start menu as you want ( this is the only setting who has not be restored for me ).
I don't have another HTC so I can't try the " device upgrade mode " who sounds very interesting too.
If you install on the PC, you can also browse a backup to take every file you want in it, very useful !
I don't know how they do that but they did it !
Infos and download : http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/backup/?en
P.S : Excuse me for my english " learn by myself by reading english forums " you know, I'm french and french people speak.... french lol
Great ! Seems to be interesting !
Over way to do (more tricky) is to create the famous SDConfig.txt, add all programs you want to install (and try to find any exe programs in cab ... snif), and create a registry cab too
So when you install your new rom, it will install the software (be carefull of not installing already include cab)
I think I will try this cause I'm really tired of spending lot's of time to set back my conf...
Hello " compatriote ",
I like your blog, add it to my favorites.
Making a registry cab seems to be hazardous and dangerous for the phone, there is huge registry differences between ROMs.
And SPBbackup 2 doesn't just restore your apps, but all your settings too.
For exemple Wifi wep key, bluetooth pairing, second today plugins, all are working after the first boot, so you can flash a ROM and restore everything in 15 minutes.
With official ROM, I have 17 Mos free storage, now with Bepe 0.98, 62 Mos, waouh !!!
Mixed feelings with the backup/restore
Hi 2 all!
I took a look at the program.
I have mixed feelings with the restore.
The program also backups the registry. When I use an other rom and restore the datas the registry entrys will also be restored..
I don't know if this is the goal.
What do other users think?
br,
Chris
Looks very interesting if the registry backup is not an issue on different roms (i think that it shouldn't be a real problem if you "just" upgrade the version of a rom)
Sprite backup also has upgrade mode, which I heard is not so good, and caused lots of problems.
SDconfig.txt is part of the UC compliant, which is working - as far as I know - only o Bepe's ROMs. Other Diamond ROMs does not support it. Am I wrong?
beware!
1.you had ROM X---made a backup including system files and registry for ROM X and it includes also some clutter and unwanted files that you accumulated after installing and uninstalling progs and so on...you know what i mean..
2.you are flashing ROM Y----it has a better, improved system files, new registry witch is cleaner, more compact, tweaks all the works to make it better than the old one, ROM X
3. you are restoring the ROM x backup over the ROM Y !!!!
it might work but practically you went back from ROM Y to ROM X.
in my humble opinion backup-restore system function should be used only to restore on the same ROM. for example you installed a bad app and you have to hardreset. use yr backup and yr are set in under 10 minutes!
using backup from one ROM on an another ROM? don't think it is a good idea!

I don't know how it works but ROM Y don't become ROM X, as I said before, with HTC official ROM, I have 17 Mos free storage, now with Bepe 0.98, 62 Mos free, with all my apps. And the overall speed of the bepe ROM is present, fastest than the original one.
I don't think to use this solution for my " final " ROM and ultimate Diamond installation, I prefer start from scratch, but waiting for the ROM I'll keep in my phone forever ( perhaps Bepe 1.0 ), with SPB backup solution I can try severals ROMs and have my complete Diamond in few minutes with no bugs.
Many users don't want to flash and beta-test because of this and wait for the others opinions, with this solution, everyone can try and feedback more quickly.

that's the best way to do it. don't bring the "dirt" from the old home to the new one
I also like to start from scratch... installing my personal data after.
as Punch said to Judy "that's the way to do it"
I used spb backup2 for a while now and flashed a couple of roms with it, but i noticed that it doesnt change the registry of the new rom back to old backup one. at least not everything. i noticed that with my weathersetting that i did with WDE. also other reg hacks i did to the old rom wherent present in the new rom. so this programs good for me. only must look out that you dont install double cabs when the programs in your backup ar already in your new rom.

So are you changing any of the options, for example "overwrite existing files"?

So, I wonder if your PPC was recognized by Active Sync as the old one...
I always have the problem that after installing a backup, active sync creates a horrible mess with double entries in outlook...
BTW: does anyone know a good (free) program for your desktop pc to delete double entries in Outlook (2007)?

Hi,
im pretty new in this forum. I found out what nice tweaks and apps there are for xperia x1, which you guys just made and i just can tell from vidz and pics, you did a excellent work by far...but:
I saw the tilewave panel for x1 in this forum und tried to install. I already installed other panels like home ui and touch3d earlier, so i know how to install *.cab and choose in panel manager. My Problem with this here, the tilewave, is, that i cant choose it in the panelmanger. I tried several different panalmanager version, like the one for x2 or the SE, but there is no success...
My general question ist: What is required to use the tilewave panel on X1?
Do i need a special rom for that? by the way: what exactly is a rom ? ^^
Before you guys flame me, that i could use the search engine: i did. But everthing i found here is talking about roms or that everyone claims the tilewave panel is easy to install on x1.....And i'm not in all these Rom things either...
I really would like to have this panel, so plz plz help
Some infos:
- Rom Version is: 1.05.207.13 and installed on 5.12.2009...
- After trying to stop all panel manger processes, to install the x2 panelmanager and try with this, i coulndt find any processes in taskmanager but couldnt delete the old panalmanager archive...so i just isntalled the x2 PM....
- the x2 panel manager works really fine, but i cant choose the installed tilewave panel, there is none with that name....
Ok, a little update right now:
I installed a prozess manager to kill the panel manager process and could reisntall the x2 panel manager without any errors or bugs...
The X2 Dialer and the x2 Task Manager could be installend without any problems...
somewhere i found myriad java installer and installed that too, because i hoped it is neccassary for the tilewavepanel...but still no success, the only thing which doesnt work is that tilewave panel..its installed in the right archive (Programms/Panels/) but i still cant choose it from panel manager.....
Plz Help ! ((
Allright....after tryn around the whole day, yesterday....i found out, that the registry entry, which leads to the panel, is wrong...it willl normally registered in "/Program Files/Panels/Tilewave" but if your language settings differs from english, like my german does, you have to change all registry entries there. in my case to: "/Programme/Panels/..."
If anyone got the same problem, i hoped it help....
I got now the problem, that, when i click on messages button in tilewave panel, it zooms in and out, but nothings happens. i quite couldnt find a solution in the forum, so does anyone know how to get this fixed?
I have to edit my informations a gave here....i dont have isntalled any rom, the version of what i have, is the normal firmware i got...(see above in first post)
The Message Button still dont works...
I installed Active X Deploymend and the slideview seems to be installed too, its under "Programme/Slideview
Is it neccassary for a wm 6.1 Xperia X1i (is what i have) to install Slideview in order to use tilewave?
If so, i had problems installing it the manuel way: I had problems to copy all files in /windows/ because the file is in use or allready exists....
All other problems (like time- +1hour) could be solved, but just this little ****ing messages button cant be fixed (((
Plz help, thought you where professionals
allright party- people...after days and days messing around with that problem, i decided to play a last card on my hand and flash my device with a custom rom.
Although i'm absolutly not into that stuff, i viewed your tutorials and see: everything works fast, fine and stable! I have now the Touch it Xperience Ver.12 with additional tilewave panel installed and did the registry trick to fix the hour-faster- problem... it works perfektly ! I think my earlier problems where because of my firmware version (original sony, not a custom..)
I'm so glad right now, about the beautiful,fast and usefull new interface! You people do a great job here and i'm happy there are people like you doing it without any financial afford.
So thx again (altough you didint help me in this post here ;-)), and special thx to Biovolt for his very easy going and usefull tutorials (video+text) and itje for the very nice Touch It v.12 rom !

Hi @all,
I've donwloaded the manila kitchen and also the current release of the manila package.
Now I want to write a new Tab and have some big problems with that. I hope you can help.
1st I've thought about looking into existing code (eg Twitter Tab). There I've my first problem. They use a script file called machine_status_svc, CLuaTweetList_svc and CLuaTweetEdit_svc (used in "5518259a_manila" or "twitterutil.luac"). They also use a function called CLuaTweetList_Instance() and I think which is included in CLuaTweetList_svc.
Now my problem: I can't find these files. Can anybody help?
2nd I've check the registry on my mobile and found the key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCService. There are some dll files registered. I think they will work as background service during the manila is running. Now I want to write this kind of service too.
So does anybody know how these dll file have to be implemented? which procedures/functions are required and which aparameters etc?
I still have som other questions, but maybe I can solve them if I've got a reply to these at first.
I'm sorry but I don't find anything in the web about there questions.
I hope for your help! - Thanks!
Does maybe anybody know if HTC is providing these information?
If yes does anybody maybe also know a direct contact address (e-Mail) to get it?
Thanks :'(
