i have cooked successfully more than 10 roms, WWE vesion to CHS vesion, they all work fine.
but when i want to cook a new rom based on LVSW 0320 vesion, i failed. i found that the default.hv can't be transfered to txt file, once i edit this file, os can't boot and stick on the SubSplash screen. but user.hv can do that.
sorry for post this new thread but i have posted under lvsw's thread and no one answer me.
can anyone help me plz, i really like this ROM.
thanks in advance.
i had the same problem... then i came up with a briliant solutiion
you know the user.hv and initdata can be edited without any probs..also this version of the rom deploys the ext rom aswell.. so what i did was i edited config.txt and added a cab with the HKLM etc regs that go into default.hv into the dump folder and generated a rom with that cab inside..
and VOILA... now i have a custom rom with all my settings... i figured this way out after hours of frustratingly trying to edit the default.hv
hope this helps

thank u, i have tried ur solution, but there is a big problem, .cab file doesn't support chinese caracter, so edit default.hv is the only way.
dont know if this would help you but take a lot here :
www.asukal.jp/hv_rom/hive2.txt
or simply use Make_HV, found it in the development & hacking thread.
First covert the hv file to rgu (which is simply REGEDIT4 Format) then make changes and convert it back.

You don't need a .cab for this. The program that goes through Config.txt can handle XML files with registry settings directly. So, grab any of the .xml files listed in Config.txt as a template for your own .xml file. Then just add your new .xml file plus a line in Config.txt referencing this new file, and you're all set.
There's another solution which I found much more convenient: use bepe's Rom Kitchen, and import whatever ROM you want. If I'm not mistaken, it's even available bundled with a Chinese ROM already. There you can edit the .rgu files from which the Registry will be created. This eliminates the need to read any of the .hv files. Worked very well for me! Also, since bepe's kitchen recreates the packet structure of the ROM, it's so much easier to understand which files and registry entries have a dependency or belong together. Highly recommended!
Cheers

it is for CHT but not for CHS, there is a lot of CHT roms yet, cooked or offcial, but there isn't a official rom in CHS, a just want to convert 0320 vesion to CHS vesion.
I will be watching this thread.
Waiting for good news.

I have the same problem...the LVSW 0313 version was fine...then the new LVSW 0320 won't boot..stopped at the subsplash screen...it is strange that the default.hv is there but doesn't seem to booting the file.

Any Unicode-capable editor will do. Personally, I use UltraEdit.

Please don't take offense, but I'm starting to think you got the ROM as it is..."protected" that's why all the customizations are done via AutoRun.exe and xml files.
i found that lvsw 0325 edition can be edit.

Yes, 0320 can't be edited. But 0325 could. But you can't use the regular tools..you have to use the "more Storage" tool, then just manually copy the "default.hv" and "user.hv" from the "dump" folder, use the regular tool and covert it to .reg. Then you make modifications to the registry file, convert it back to .hv and copy them back to the "dump" folder..you can add files by just copying files into the "dump" folder..after you are all done with it, just continue with the "more storage" tool to make your new-os.nb
Hello there.
well, i'm trying to cook a new version of my ROM, but i have sawn on Fanman release that there's no RGU files...
Because he seems to have merged all of them in the default.hv.
I've tried, but many keys disappear when flashing it to phone...
Have you got any ideas ?
Thanks
Best regards
What kitchen are you using to cook the rom? I've been using the Core Pro kitchen but noticed that none of the changes I made to the .hv files were being included in the cooked rom so this would explain why none of yours are either. For now stick all the changes into 1 rgu file, will be much easier to insert into the hives once it is working again that way I'd imagine.
one or more .rgu, each one under a OEM subfolder, will do the trick...
do not forget their corresponding empty .dsm file !

Is that not what he already has tho? I thought the point of his post was how to get all the rgu files into the hives but since this is not currently possible (as far as I am aware, kitchen dependant of course) he may as well place them all into one rgu file.
yep, all changes are not tooked in the hv files, i wanna have only the hives to gain more spaces...
I'll try again

No more RGU = More space on ROM
This evening, i tried to copy HV after buildos and before createrom, but nothing more....
And when i looked on the temp folder of kitchen, the hv files are really small and doesn't include the hv files in sys\metadata...
Really strange, it seems that modifications in the hives of sys\metadata are not included in final rom ?!

small benefit however !
why not to stay with markquinton's recommendation : place all you updates into one rgu file.
So, i finally make it work but strangely i have more memory but software couldn't start and claim an memory error...
I can't even access to program folder
Anybody don't know why ?!
Thanks
aje_fr this is file FRE mui in Faman Rom and RGU file..!

Dump Faman Rom and Copy All file to Dump Folder.Then it.Run PKT tools make OEM and SYS.Now u have OEM and Sys.In OEM and SYS copy all file FRE lang u need..!

Has anyone managed to successfully edit the hive files and have the changes included in their built rom? As I've been playing around with this for a while but have as yet still not managed it. I'm getting annoyed with having to set a lot of default settings in rgu files when they could easily be included in the hives from the start.
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.

What if there is no InitCmd.ccs file? Trying to use TMO WM6 ROM. This is the same problem I had trying to use the other kitchens (I thought it was me).
Boo Boo looks almost like a clean ROM:
Tried anyways only removing the handango in hand links (two files) from the rom and built RUU_signed.nbh with os only. Flashed fine with no issues, but most T-Mobile specific apps/settings did not load and do not show in the startmenu. TMO homescreens, ringtones, favorites, etc did not get placed/installed correctly. MyFaves (HTC App) seems to have installed correctly although it tries to load TMO homescreen which is now in the Windows directory, TMO Internet Settings loaded, but the startmenu is laid out differently. Most TMO Customizations just got installed in Windows directory where they will not install (homescreens, ringtones, etc. don't work under Windows directory). The files are there, but the phone runs as if they are missing (almost like running the Brightpoint ROM). The only TMO customizations Visible are the Startup and Shutdown screens, and winwap. Somehow the TMO customizations did not get loaded, but everything seems to work fine.
Recommend the following changes to make the kitchen more universal.
added command to DumpOS.bat
ren *os.nb os.nb
changed filename in BuildOS.bat to os.nb
Just an idea since not all ROM's have the same XX_os.nb filename.
ROM Cooking Hints?
Hi Ricky, and thanks a lot for such a good work, and sharing your knowledge !!!
A couple of questions around ROM cooking ...
- How does ROM size affect WM? I mean, adding files, apps, etc. to the rom makes WM having less memory to run programs or store files, or run slower, for example?
- I guess adding more and more files might create a ROM that does not fit in the Excalibur and might break it if flashed. How can we know when to stop adding stuff?
Thanks!!

if you add stuff to the rom it will slow down the rom but not to much & if you take things out of the rom it will get faster
and if you add to much software then the kitchen will crash
How do you remove programs? What all do you need to delete to safely remove it from your phone?
Did my first attempt at cooking. IT was successful, and I am using it know, but some changes, such as files I added to the InitCmd.tgz worked, and were extracted fine. Other tweaks, such as changing a CPanel's contents and adding media to the windows folder did not work, and came out as if I hadn't changed anything at all.
Do I need to make Cpanel changes in two places (Initcmd and somewhere else?) Is there another step to making files "stick"?

Ok, I don't get it. Rick, or anyone, can you explain the work flow a little more? I can't find a user.hv, or a default.hv in the dump contents, nor do I know what to do when I do find them. I see there is a assembler/disassembler toolset in the kitchen, but it fails to find any .hv's either. Is there anything missing in the steps above?

you have to unhide system files what you have to do is move user.hv and default.hv to to edit user.hv&default.hv folder press disassemble.dat it the make to more files called HKCU.reg and HKLM.reg now download emediter freeware and save HKCU.reg and HKLM.reg UTF-16LE Now move HKCU.reg to notepad2.exe edit it then press save do the same for HKLM.reg then what you do is make a dump folder then press Reassemble.dat if there is no errors in the hv files then you will find user.hv and default.hv in the dump folder that you just made if the is an error it command prompt will tell you were the error is once dont move the hv files back to you dump folder
I think I got all that! Thanks a bunch.
Rickwyatt,
When I run Disassemble.bat it tells me it can't find the default.hv and user.hv file and then it tells me that there is no regedit4.txt file in the Resources directory.
I checked the locations of the files, and there isn't a regedit4.txt file but the default.hv and user.hv files are right where they are supposed to be. Any ideas?
[edit]
Nevermind... unchecked the "hidden" box on the two files... it still doesn't find the regedit4.txt that it's claiming is missing
Ok, so I successfully was able to use this to mod the 1.6 Rose ROM, but I noticed that the InitCmd.ccs looks far different. How do I edit the menu items in this ROM?
Specifically I am wanting to remove a bunch of stuff I don't use from the ROM:
- Orneta Calculator
- OMAP Clock
- Getting Started
- SMS Tool Pack
- Light Config
- Messenger
- Streaming Media
- Windows Live
- Resco Explorer
- CHome
Also if anyone can post the list of files that I would need to delete out of the exploded ROM for the above, that would be great... especially CHome.
I do want to give this ROM serious props. I love it! I just want to pare down the things I personally have no interest in using, but I don't want to delete the wrong files, and/or not remove the menu items in the ROM for them.
Rickwyatt,
The Disassemble.bat file keeps crashing. It tells me that regedit4.txt not found in the Resources directory. It creates a hkcu.txt and an hklm.txt file though.
open hkcu.txt hklm.txt then add REGEDIT4 to the top line then save rename hkcu.txt hklm.txt to hkcu.reg hklm.reg
New HTCRT.exe version 1.1.4
windows media player playing not smooth.
One bug in my own rom (base on your kitchen): Windows media player playing not smooth. How can i fix it, what reg can i edit?

Ok, so I successfully was able to use this to mod the 1.6 Rose ROM, but I noticed that the InitCmd.ccs looks far different. How do I edit the menu items in this ROM?
Specifically I am wanting to remove a bunch of stuff I don't use from the ROM:
- Orneta Calculator
- OMAP Clock
- Getting Started
- SMS Tool Pack
- Light Config
- Messenger
- Streaming Media
- Windows Live
- Resco Explorer
- CHome

Looking to dump a lot of the same things. If I remove them from the "dump" folder, is that the end of it or do registry settings need to be removed as well. First time doing something like this, thanks for the help and patience.
Instead of going through this tedious process.. why not start with a very light version of the ROM and just add what you need ?
Hi guys,
I decided to open a blog which explains how to cook roms for the i780. There are very few chefs, and cooking is a really hard science to learn without help! So, I decided that I take the time and write posts so that everyone could learn the process in a methodical manner and cook roms in the future!
I'd slowly write posts explaining each step of the process in detail, so that we can have more people learning how to cook and make the i780 community more happening
Head over to this URL to check out the first few posts -

Update:
Attached core kitchen tools that you'll need to use! Enjoy!
cheers

I never was a fan of this forum, not sure why, maybe because I use a ASUS P527 and there are not proper instructions on how to create a custom ROM, I appreciate your taking the initiative
I think its good fun to try and figure out things on your own
Non-HTC devices do have a very small fan base unfortunately....and ironically, HTC makes the crappiest devices imo (highly crash prone, buggy, lousy drivers, useless qualcomm processor)!
You can apply the same tools and techniques even to cook asus roms....its not all that different
cheers
wooooooow thanks a lot buddy finally we have it also !!!

To remove a package, you can get rid of the corresponding folders in your SYS folder. But its not recommended that you knock off office/ie as they might be referenced within other apps. You can always take it off, build a rom and see if everything works fine
For example, to remove IE, just delete your Browsing, Browsing_DPI_xx and Browsing_Lang_XXXX, BROWSINGCORE, browsingie, browsingie_LANG_XXXX folders. That should get rid of IE for you! Then you need to recreate your bin!
cheers
thanks a lot for kitchen tools and ur explanations! i read ur blog all the time great work!!

i have two problems while i am using ervius pkgtools
1. when i open dumo folder it shows
[Missing Manifests]
(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\45116509-e364-4775-9098-c25f0b1fbac2.dsm
(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\d92a4f0a-378a-4482-8fd3-bd127a05e4de.dsm
(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\723fb954-d931-4348-b672-82a188e587b5.dsm

(Maybe):\ROM\XIP\449da4ef-e9c1-5cb4-2ec5-fb9b4c27a865.dsm
are these important dsm files?
2. when i press build packages it gives this error:
not found: select .os file to extract XIP
and i extract xip file using osbntool as xip.bin
any solutions for both of these?

false alarm?
well last night i finished my own wm6.1 build 20270 128dpi pdxib1 according to your guide i wanna tell what i did to complete it ;
1.i exctracted my rom using i780 kitchen and i got dump folder and i also added some extra tools like ervius buildos,osnbtool etc...then i used pkgbuildos to seperate folders into oem and sys
2. i used oem part from krizky82's kitchen and i add some extra packages using ervius package creator 2.7 and add them with oem_blahblah to oem folder.
3. i deleted windows live and msn messenger from sys folder and copied netcf 3.5 and flashlite v3.1 from krizky82 kitchen. i also used his initflash and rgu file coz i had same structure almost(oem totally same and sys programs also)
4.i looked at both efn's kitchen and krizky82 kitchen and i saw that they have this structure oem,sys and rom and in rom there is xip folder. when i looked at inside xip folder i saw that there is only coredll.dll folder and others are dsm rgu and boot files so my next step
5. i used osbn tool to exract xip.bin and after i got that xipkitchen_beta6 and i choosed the same donor and original and after extracting i got original xip files and i ordered in same structure like efn's kitchen
6.then i used pgkbuildos and let the process starti had some dsm duplicate errors and i delete duplicated ones and later i didnt start xip extract bat and flashable bin bat so after process again i had temp/dump folder
7. during buildos there wasnt any error and i was happy about it
8. using inputTXTFileMaker ( thanks to u dreamtheather93) i got input text and after that using these commands;
mgfsfromdump imgfs_raw_data.bin new_imgfs.bin
del imgfs_raw_data.bin
ren new_imgfs.bin imgfs_raw_data.bin
make_imgfs i780.nb0.payload.body -nosplit
merge i780.nb0.payload.header i780.nb0.payload.body i780.nb0.payload
nbmerge -data 2048 -extra 8 i780.nb0 -conservative
and conv3 input.txt > conv3_output.txt
ren i780.nb0.b000ff !!i780_flashable_bin.bin
i got my flashable bin file yupiiiii i controlled the size of flashable bin and it is 86.2 mb and the size of dump folder almost 125 mb i hope it is ok
now i will flash my phone but is there any possibility that my phone can be bricked ?
thanks a lot for ur guide again!!!
note: i already used i780.bin as 12mb page pool size i did it before kitchen using osbn tool
good job m8
You cant really brick your i780 because of this I've done way crazier stuff....like trying out omnia's xip, drivers of omnia on i780....and nothing's given way
However, i'm hoping you've ported your XIP accurately, and i'm unsure how've you've built your SYS folder.
but, go ahead and flash and see if it boots nothing to be paranoid if it doesnt boot/hangs at startup/throws an error and fails etc. etc. If any of this happens, then we could troubleshoot it together
cheers & good luck
Great job!
Nice start San!
Not even some days left from your first successful cooking and you already best gid on it!
Keep on do it. And we wait for new mods for our best touchphone!
I think now anyone is able to break Eagles wings =P
