[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.

Funny, i created the package and i didnt get that!!!
il have to look into the flashfile generator in using (im not using the core one that you are!!)
Thanks for the heads up and apologies for the confusion!!!

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

I will create a separate Cab based on Schaps color version as well in a minute after a few try this cab with no problem.

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?

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 ?

[APP] Michy's Installer - complete wceload repleacement!

- Michy's Installer -
​Have you ever got an "Installation Unsuccesfull" message? Or a "Uninstall failed" message? Or worst thing an "Missing privileges" while installing a cab?
Now this messages are gone. With my installer, which is a complete Wceload and uninstaller replacement, any installation will complete without any problem
Main features:
Full repleacement for winceload
Select if you want or not to run setup dlls
Avoid failing for missing privileges
Get the space that an'installed app consumes after installing too
Search within your device the cabs you have and select what you want to install
Analyze FB_Install folders
Batch cabs installation
Installation processes can be aborted any time
If you are overwriting exes, they will be automatically terminated before installing
Advanced cab analyzer (view files contained, shortcut, regs, extract them......etc)
- MichyPrima_UC - ​
This system will let you to install:
.reg
.cab
.rgu
.xml
.provxml
.exe
Putting them in your SD/Microdrive/Diamond internal storage in the folder FB_Install. And them will be installed at first boot.
Information about files you can install:
- Files .cab -​
For a base installation of cabs you can put them in the folder FB_Install. Setup DLL will not be executed to avoid setup freezes. Anyway, there are ways to customize how your cab will be installed:
Installation to SD
Installation to MD
Activating Setup DLL
Possibility to use wceload to install (not advised)
For using them:
If your cab is mycab.cab and you want to install it to sd, simply create a file called mycab.tosd. if you want to install to MD, the name will be mycab.tomd, if you want to enable setup dll, the name will be mycab.enabledll. If you want to install using wceload... use .old extension.
- Files .reg, .rgu, .provxml e .xml -​Simply put them to FB_Install directory
- Files EXE - ​For a simple execution put them in FB_Install folder. If you need command line arguments, simply put them in a file called as your exe, but with .arguments extension.
- All files - ​All files can be skipped using .skip extension. eg if your file is mycab.cab , create a file with mycab.skip and it will not considered
- Other special functions: -​
File/folder structure restore
Creating the structure on SD it will be reversed into storage. We have more than only one folder where we can put our files (in FB_Install):
CopyInWindowsFolder (\windows)
CopyInProgramsFolder (\windows\start menu\programs)
CopyInProgramFilesFolder (\program files)
CopyInFavoritesFolder (\windows\favorites)
CopyInFontsFolder (\windows\fonts)
CopyInStartupFolder (\windows\startup)
CopyInRootFolder (\)
So, for copy/overwrite files in windows folder, only thing you need is to create a folder in FB_Install with name CopyInWindowsFolder. This is a recursive copy, so all subfolders will be copied.
Shortcut restoring
You can specificate the shortcut to create in shortcuts.txt file and put it in FB_Install folder. Each line will be a shortcut to create. The first part of the line contains where the shortcut will be, 2nd where the shortcut will point. The two parts are separated by ":".
We have ids there to:
%SD% (\storage card)
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU% (\windows\start menu\programs)
%PROGRAM_FILES% (\program files)
%STARTUP% (\windows\startup)
%MYDOCUMENTS% (\my documents)
Example line:
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU%\Test.lnk:%SD%\myprogram.exe
This line will create a "Test.lnk" in programs which points to \storage card\myprogram.exe.
Possibility to avoid final reset (not advised)
Just create a file with name NoResetAtEnd without extension in FB_Install folder.
Possibility to temporarily skip customization
Just create a file with name SkipCustomization without extension in FB_Install folder.
Do you want to process config lines to runcc?
Create a file with name AddToConfig.txt and there put your config lines.
Possibility to delete files or folder
Create a file with name Delete.txt. Each line is something to delete. You can use IDs as shortcuts

All I have to say is

Wow, sounds extremely "will have it now"!

Cool
Michy,
This shold be a nice addition to the tool box.
cheers

Attempt of graceful recovery from dbl post

Cool
Michy,
Very nice work. I can't wait to see this released.
Cheers
BR

Michy, you are great!!

Wow, this must have been a LOT of work. Tnx a lot for your efforts!!

Sounds great!

Sounds very useful for those of us that change roms often.
Good work.
PS
My personal holy grail would be an APP that records changes as apps are installed to a point where I am happy then be able to gather all of the changes and build an install routine! Am I dreaming?

Wow sounds awesome and a gui, can't wait & thankyou

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! cant wait...this should save me tons of time, and unlike other appz this seems easy 2 use and great!!!....thanks for ALL the hard work! ..waiting patiently

ehi my friends! good job, I'm sure that this program is excellent as the other your developments!
Put it online

This sounds amazing!!!

Edit: of course the italian one is already made by me

Looks like a great tool ,and tools like this make other phones look primitive

Looking forward to the release. when is it?

FlashBack​
UPDATE: 11-1-09
-Added dotFred's Taskmanager EXT package which is REQUIRED package. Sorry I thought that it was included in my FlashBack package. This will fix issue with no reg keys being made.
-Updating cab with dotFred's taskmanager as well.

I have been working on this little mortscript for a while now, constantly updating as I find more things to add. It has been one of my most valuable and timesaving tools which I cook into all of my ROMs. It allows a user to backup many items which you would have to input and change manually upon first boot. This saves me a LOT of time as I flash a new ROM just about daily. It also has the ability to autorestore all items if cooked into the ROM. I am not a programmer, so if anyone is interested in turning this into an actual program rather than mortscript please let me know Also, I am no mortscript wizard, so if anyone would like to have at the original to make it better go for it This software will create a folder in root of Storage Card named "Phone Backup", so it may not work if you do not have a Storage Card (does not support localization currently). Also, take note that although I use this quite frequently I do not guarantee it to work fully for you. I will try to work with you to find solutions when possible.
Without the help of Noonski, and many others this script could not exist. So thank you very much
You might be thinking "What do I need this for if I can use SASHIMI or UC or any of the other available autoconfig programs?". This app is not meant to be a replacement for any of these programs, rather it will work hand-in-hand with most of these to backup and restore items easily that you might not think about. It will also autoload manila in 6.5 ROMs and load your prefered wallpaper, weather, program tab preferences, and much more.
Original thread can be found HERE. I have started this new thread in attempt to reorganize and provide easy access to more information. Note to mods: please close previous thread.

-Add some sort of localization so it can be used in non WWE ROMs
-Allow user to select files to backup
-Allow user to select reg keys to backup
-Possibly allow user to choose backup destination
-Possibly compress backup files
-Possibly convert to program with skinnable UI
All Previous Changelogs(most recent will be in post #1)
UPDATE: 10-22-09 FlashBack 0.6
-Added program tab backup and autorestore
-Added MySpace profile(Microsoft MySpace)
-Added some more Game and Software items
-Added Zensor autorestore and autoload(autoload still needs some work)
UPDATE: 8-27-09 FlashBack 0.5
Uploading latest package from my kitchen. I will put together a cab soon, but for now you can use the flashback script from the package and overwrite original
Changelog:
Made some minor modifications as well as some optimization to reduce errors when restoring.
-Added Wifi Locations backup under software
-Added double check for manila autorestore. This way if you have non manila ROM It will not try to load manila.
For this to work correctly you need to add the following lines to your manila app.reg:
Code:
;FlashBack support
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FlashBack]
"ManilaExists"=dword:1
NOTE: Make sure to disable weather restore or delete the database when switching manila builds
Still taking further requests and hoping for some help from the real mort pros
UPDATE: 8-3-09
-Some fixes for missed lines
-Fixed G-Alarm(misspelled something causing no backup)
-added Facebook backup(not fully tested)
-added world clock cities
-Changed backup of manila files to use INI
-If you have cooked an older version into your ROM, be sure to use the newest FlashBack to backup Manila data again. The new AutoRestore script relies on the new INI files.
-Any more software requests?
UPDATE: Huge update.
Added:
-more personal settings(Buttons)
-Tools*
-Manila Wallpaper and Weather(tested .png and .jpg wallpapers)
-Made a package which will restore all saved settings when cooked into ROM.
-Added option to Auto restore. Auto is enabled by default. Look under tools.
-Added support for some builds of Opera
-Added option to Auto load Manila after Flash as oposed to "Windows Default" AKA Titanium. I prefer Manila, so if you enable the option and its cooked in you can have it right after flash.
-Prepared for adding program registrations
Check it out and let me know if it is all working for you. Please note that I will not be held responsible for any loss of data(should that somehow occur, but dont know how it would). Attaching Visual Package and cab. Legacy package will come soon. Edit: Legacy is here, but not sure if it works as I dont use legacy. Please report back for others.

EDIT: The "RestoreAll" mortscrpt in packages has an extra quotation mark on line 29. Remove the first one before cooking. Should look like this:
Code:
regwritedword("HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
as opposed to this:
Code:
regwritedword([B]"[/B]"HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
This is not a needed step, but it is to double check that Restoreall does not run more than once. There is provision in the script for it to delete the link from startup as well.
Another note: Some features still need some more work to function properly. This is all trial and error as I have to find all the appropriate keys for each item. Some have more than one key which needs backed up. Thanks for trying FlashBack
UPDATE: 7-27-09
After some more work with mortscript(and some help from Noonski, thanks bud) I have put together another backup script which backs up personal info such as :
-Bluetooth Partners
-Wifi Networks
-Owner Info
-Volume
-Rings and Alerts
-Backlight settings
It is still a work in progress, but figured I would put it out there for testing and also feedback on what else to add. Noonski showed me the command lines needed to export and import reg, so now it is just a matter of adding the correct keys. I am learning as I go, so bear with me here. Feel free to test this script and add feedback here. If you are skilled with mortscript feel free to take what I have and make it better. Here is the zip with a cab(which has the script, an exe with icon and dotfred's taskmanager to import the keys). I also included the script and exe to make it easier for others to add or change things. Thanks for trying it By the way I call it Flash Back because I flash so manyt ROMs and I just want my info back in an easy way

Information for cooks (required reading)
Sorry I dont have time right now to add all info, but I will try to add the most important stuff real quick.
-The OEM package will install all files to \Windows folder.
-If you use DotFred taskmanager(known as FDCTaskmanager as well) you will want to have a closer look at this package because the .exe file is already included but renamed to df_taskmgr.exe. You can just edit the app.dat file to add your own shortcut to start menu.
-You can also edit the location of FlashBack shortcut in the app.dat. All updates are taken directly from my kitchen, and I install my shortcut to start menu\programs\Tools\Backup.
-There will be a shortcut created in startup folder during cooking
-Autorestore will only run on BootCount=2(to avoid issues with initial customization) and will do a check of reg to make sure it has not already run. There is also a line to delete the shortcut from startup when complete.
-Basically all you need to do as a cook is to include the package that I have provided. I used to have a double check to ensure that manila was present using additional reg key(you will see above in changelog), but have removed the line from the script so it should not be needed. It will check for existence of manila.exe instead.

Known bugs and issues:

Has Email been incorporated into this, or planned for a future release? I'm addicted to flashing, but I need email access, and it's rather annoying to set up 3 accounts every week. Thanks in advance, this sounds like a very useful program.

Nice job!

great, thank you! that is what i was waiting for!
will test it asap and report my opinion.

It's nice to have this application.

can educate on how to correctly install?
I got the error message below
There is no application associated with "FlashBack". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application

Install to device. What language is the ROM? Currently only works on WWE.
re: Email~ I hope to use an xml writer like Makisu(comes w/ SASHIMI). Will be looking into it when I get some time. Same will be needed for Wifi I think.

Until now, i've been SASHIMI-ING everything including reg keys. this is definately a wonderful addition to SASHIMI.
one problem tho... I just tried to backup some settings and it didn't put anything in the Phone Backup dir (working with a Blackstone on Topix 3.1.1 ROM).

i'm using tess v3.6 topaz wwe...

HAving an error after installing... Says it's unable to create the director "/Storage Card/Phone"
Thats prob because my "Storage Card" is named "Internal Storage"
Is there a way to correct this on my end or is it something you have to change in the script?
UPDATE**
Hope this is ok with the dev, if not - my appologies.
I edited the script myself to make it work with "Internal Storage" as opposed to "Storage Card"
If anyone else has this issue just install from the cab as normal, then copy the Flashback.MSCR file from the attached .zip in this post to your device Windows directory and select yes when prompted to replace the existing file. Should work after that.

Definitely ok. This is as open source as open source can be. There is a lot to be done still, so any help is gladly taken
I will try to get into the details this weekend for cooks and enthusiastic folks who would like to add/change things. Does anyone know of an easy way to add localization? ie if storage card is named as something else, I know some things can use code like %Storage% or something. I would have added something so you could select directories, but the AutoRestore relies on using Storage Card for now. Maybe as I figure mnore out I will do a rewrite and clean it up. There is a lot of repeated entries that I should be able to eliminate with variables. I also still need to add xml restore son nI can get more included.

Well, it created the directory by itself, and it also backed up some files.. like the wallpaper and such, but it didn't post reg keys for some reason. that's the only problem i can see right now.
other than that, wonderful idea, wonderful mechanism. thank you so much

it uses .ini for some manila settings rather than exporting entire reg key (taskmanager wont export value or I cant figure it out)

Well, same problem on my phone it creats folders "phone backup/reg keys" but doesn';t save anything in them and I only tried to backup owner info, rings and alerts and also thumbcal & resco settings. I'm running the latest ver. of MortScript I think it's v. 4.3 b. maybe your scripts were written for the last stable version 4.2.

I have updated first post with Taskmanager package. I had thought it was included in the original package, but after downloading it myself and looking I see its not there. df_taskmgr.exe is a required file and I have added the package to post 1. Have also updated the cab file.
Thanks for the feedback, otherwise I would not have found it.

Nice App Work with it right Now it's really nice
Thanks

Hi AnDim,
Nice tool to use in combination with the htcRIE tool. Thank you for that! Anyway you could make it possible to import reg- or rgu-files? That would make this even better!
Cheers,
/Cacti

Support .rgu files

Very nice utility, thank you for this.
I am using it on Windows 7 and one thing I did notice is that when browsing for a file to open it did not show any of the .rgu files. I had to go to the Files and Folders options on my computer and uncheck the option to Hide Protected Operating System Files. Using Ervius Visual Kitchen, I do not have to do this so maybe there is a option somewhere that can be set in the code to show all of the files? Would be great to include this as an option somehow.

Thanks for the new relase

Whats up with some keys being in red color?
And what does the program do when inside the file exist two value names with the same value data in the same key?
It keeps the last one?
Like this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\VTCallWaiting]
"Category"="InCall"
"Category"="Ring"
Thanks.
Edited...
It seems that the keys in red are the keys that will be deleted.
And the last one is kept.
Could you add an option to ask the user which value to keep?

I'm not getting how to use this. How do I connect to my device? I assumed I had to find the default or user.hv files, but I cannot find them.

Copy them to your desktop (out of \windows).

When should we expect a newer version? Any thoughts on my suggestion on my previous post?

Please add import rgu option it would be very useful anyway thanks for this great app

thank you .............

Hello,
This tool is fantastic. It's the only program that allowed me to change my .hv files without problems (I tried CeRegEditor and manual RGUcomp but all these methods failed in my case).
The only thing I miss is the possibility to import data from rgu/reg or even txt. Pleeeease
