Ok, had to wipe my computer and start again (Do it ever couple of months). So I tried to run BuildOS again but i get a message as below :
Code:
BuildOS.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (ox0000135). Click OK to terminate the application.
Can anyone shed some light on why this will not work for me anymore!!!
Did you re-install Net Framework 2?
this is .NET framework related indeed
Thnak you both!!! I should not be let to use this!!! That worked for me!!!
I'm so dumb!
Glad I could provide a small assist. I owe you big for the RK PDF docuument (which I've used over and over again this past week) and your tip on removing the setup dll file !
Forums at their best!

Well i am working on the setup.dll files, as i have found with some packages this is needed, but you can only have one file like that so!!! am doing testing on different way for doing it!
Me too. After working with the extended ROM, I have this new idea of how to customize a newly installed ROM:
After installing the ROM:
1) Create/Use a cab file that sets the autorun registry pointers to point to my Storage Card (instead of extended ROM)
2) Maintain a library of the 20+ application and customization cab files on my storage card that I need
3) Create a config.txt with pointers to these cab files
4) execute autorun.exe which then automatically runs all these cab files
5) Sit back and wait for the installations/customizations to complete !
This makes it easy to keep a library of these apps on my storage card and as new versions arrive, just toss them in there and update the config.txt install file. If I decide to go with a new ROM, no work to integrate packages into it. And no limits on the number or size of the cab files I can use this way like with the extended ROM (only 9.5 mb space there).
I'm thinking that if I don't enable the LOCK on input, I can even interact with those cabs that have a setup dll requiring input. Haven't tried that yet though.

Wow, let me know if you get this working, as I'd like to do this myself. Its exactly what I do (but manually) after a new flash. I have a Setup Files folder on my SD card, and I just go down through each of the cab's I've stored there to get back up and running as quickly as possible. But my biggest issue is the ones that require manual input.
This seems like it should be doable though, as you can do similar with ActiveSync. After a new flash just go back to ActiveSync and tick off all the stuff you want to reinstall, and it will do them one right after the other. Only ones you have to be careful of are any that require a softreset after install.

Why dont you just point the reg to your card, !!! Just like faria point it at the windows folder, you can point it at storeage card!!!

Yes, thought of that. To do it as part of the ROM install though, you need to edit the ROM itself (the OEMOPERATORS registry file in Faria's build) and rebuild the ROM.
But I'm thinking of a mechanism that will work with no changes to the base ROM. That way, can pick up any of these wonderful ROMs that are coming out, just install and do this customization separate.

Yep, same here. Funman taught me one trick - the manual input is done via a setup dll file in the cab. On some cabs, you can delete this and work around it (this worked for PocketBreeze and PocketWeather, didn't work for iLauncher). I used this trick and put these two cabs in extended ROM.
I was going to wait for the new Faria WM6 V3 ROM to do some more testing, but since there's interest, I'll try out a test regarding the LOCK tonite. I have verified the other stuff works (the autorun registry changes via a cabinet, running autorun on the storage card after the install), but do need to check that.
And congratulations on the ROM release! Looks like a very nice packaging job !

You are looking at this too much!!!
You could just do as below!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"AutoRun"="\\Storage Card\\cabs\\autorun.exe"
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Storage Card\\cabs\\config.txt"
"AutoRunType"=dword:00000000
"TurnRadioFlag"=dword:00000000
Then in the config :-
Code:
CAB: \Storage Card\cabs\example.cab
But you dod have a problem of it freezing if you take out the card!
OK. We're mostly on the same page then. As you mentioned, I created a small cab file that sets:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"AutoRun"="\\Storage Card\\cabs\\autorun.exe"
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Storage Card\\cabs\\config.txt"
I then just manually select/run autorun.exe against my custom config.txt.
When autorun.exe runs as part of the initial rom run, it locks out input so any cabinets that prompt for input breaks the execution. We're just wondering if it could work without the lock so that any cabinet (other than those that restart the system) could be executed in this manner. I have a handful of cabinets that do prompt for input that cause problems !

Yes it does, but even if you remove the lock, you still can't respond to the prompt from the running cabinet. It just hangs the AutoRun process :-(. I just finished running a test to check this out.
This still goes a long way in helping automate my setup. I currently have about 26 cab files that I use to "customize" my system. 5 of those prompt for input and 2 more restart the system. So, I could automate the execution of 19 of them. I can use your "delete setup dll" trick and get 4 more to automate. So that means 23 of 26 could be automated !
Thanks!

You don't necessarily have to restart the phone after installing every cab that asks for it. Most just need the restart to work properly, but your not going to use them yet, because you are still installing all of your programs, so the restart can wait. Personally, I just cancel the restart notice and finish installing all of my cab before a singal restart for all of the cabs installed.

I will have to find it, but there is a reg key that i chnaged that you can set it so you would need a reset after different cabs, but you can turn it off too!!! Cus i always got a prblem when trying to install my GPRS cab as it would say that it needed to restart, but now it does not say it!!! I will have to go back over reg keys i have chnaged and see if i can work it out again!

Hello,
I read a lot about the big ROM flashing and did this on my XDA mini. Anything seems to work so I'm quite happy until now. One point of concern is still there... what about the apps from the ExtROM that I copied for backup on my harddisk? Using an XDA on the O2 network, we are talking about apps like Homezone and O2 settings.
If I understood the BigROM thing right, I deleted the ExtROM that was executed on a hard reset before. Therefore, after BigROM,
- no O2 app will be loaded after hard reset
- no autostarter, like in the O2 ExtROM, is necessary any more since nothing is loaded after hard reset
- after hard reset, all apps have to be installed once again
- best way to keep the apps secure and appropriate is install all apps once and frequently backup the whole setup
Is this the right way to look at the changes?
Another question about the O2 files: Besides the homezone control, are there alternative programs for the rest (Java, Today screen) or do I need the special O2 apps due to the settings coming with them?
Any help appreciated!
Yes you got it all right! After the Big Storage ROM the Extended ROM bit was deleted from the ROM. The space consumed by the Extended ROM is now available for you to use under the /Storarge folder.
Now, to install the required extended ROM programs just copy them to any folder on the PPC and click on them from the file explorer.
However I would suggest to install a program called CABINSTL. This allows you to run CAB files and install them in the folder of your choice instead of the default folder that consumes some of your precious RAM. I would install these CAB files in the /Storage folder, thus making benefit of the Big Storage ROM
The same applies to any other program you install. Always install it in /Storage. If you don't, after the Big Storage upgrade the only benefit would be of having some extra storage space. If you have an SD Card you don't need this space so might as well use it to install programs and free up the RAM.
If I use the cabinstl programme to manually install my Orange ExtRom files after a BigStorage install - even when I choose a different install location (eg. /Storage) the utility is still installed into the default location (usually somewhere in /Windows/).
I have the same problem. Also i pushed the option not to delete the cab file, but after install they are deleted I know i can make them read only, but i cannot do this trough explore of activesync.
It appears that some CAB files have their install location 'hard coded' into the file so it cannot or should not be changed.
I guess that this is to ensure that the utility works correctly so I don't suppose that there is much that we can do.
You can edit the CAB on your PC and define your own folder. However this is not recommended as the code for these programs may have some paths that are hard coded as well.
Anyway these couple of CAB files will not impact your overall RAM situation at all. On mine I only installed JAVA, MMS, Bluetooth and Camera patches from the Extended ROM. I don't need the rest.
Thanks for your help! So is it okay to install anything in the storage that goes there without complaining? As I installed PocketPlus there, Windows looked at it like on the memory card and displayed a message that installing apps there could become a problem during startup.
Thanks again and bye!
Hi,
Hardware: Vodafone VPA compact/T-Mobile MDA compact (HTC Magician).
Problem: CAB files in /Storage folder are being deleted after installation - even if they are read-only!
This only happens if they are located in the /Storage folder. I did a hard reset and soft reset afterwards to get a non-customized device but the behaviour is still the same, so this doesn't seem to be a customization "feature".
Any ideas?
Use CabInstl to install cab's. It will let you choose where to install & got the option to keep the cab.

Thanks for the hint. It looks like a good alternative to the standard procedure. However I do need an automated mechanism (installing CABs after hardreset automatically) which can be used from the extended_rom/config.txt and I, lacking detailled information about cabinstl, doubt that cabinstl can be used in "silent" mode using commandline parameters. But I'll give it a try. Meawhile we implement a workaround.
thanks.

thank you dude for the hard hard work.
i can never get this cooking to work! i dont know how ou guys get it done!
but we appreciate the free mooching!!
flashing it right NOW. will let you know what happens
Good job dear, Go on!!!!
1. Have you put in this the MS PPT?
2. If you have removed every thing from this then you could very well pack NETCF 1.0 or 2.0SP1 in it. It is just a suggestion. Only my opinion......
My good wishes to you...
Hi Master,
Seriously speaking, i still a noob here.
Since u told me about the PPT (Mobile Powerpoint) was not install from ur ROM, so i did not, but just use back your ClearView.
What i did was meddling your OEM folder.
Is good to have those Mobile PPT back instead of ClearView, and pre-install NETCF v2 or v1, i really sorry that i have no idea how to do it.
because i read BuzzDeV's forum.
Try to do those rgucomp to get the registry out, and default.hv/user.hv
still dont understand how everythings works.
I did installed Registry Workshop or Hex Editor, even i manage to open the Registry, i see things that i dont wish to see there, but again, if i remove, i dont even know where those registry links to which files.
haha, basically, i am just a noob who only know how to meddle the OEM folder. haha.
I did try to use Tof_clock ROM, but because his already packed everything together, likewise, your 3.00 is seperated into different folders, just need to remove or add links to OEM folder.
Hope i did not disappoint u for not able to fulfill your suggestion.
BuzzDev Forum has the Rom Kitchen thread, too many useful tips, but i just cant get to understand their explanation. lol
I will try out again.
Setting NETCF v2 into your customization folder, is not a problem.
I believed NETCF v2 can be extracted out to make as viewimgs , convert to module instead of files.
but because i dont know how to do it, lol
any advice?

Everything has to thanks Master for providing the ROM, for me to cook.
I believed the Stabability between 3.00 and Master's ROM is the same, as is both using AUK 3.2. Just versioning different.
For my 2nd Self cook ROM, i have follow Master's suggestion
and have insert in Mobile PPT and remove Clearvue.
I have no way to intergrate NetCF v2, cause is a cab file, and there is no way i can see the DLL files. Unless Master able to create the DLL for me to play with it.
What i did for this 2nd self cook ROM is to put the NetCF V2 cab in it, which takes up Storage space.
Guess nobody would wants this way.
Well. i put it is to convenient me not to install again. lol.
And thanks for helping me to find another free file hosting.

OK, it seems that the files in your oem package (2007_04_25) and the ones i got in this forum (2007_08_02) are the same. The only differences are in the registry keys, i don't know which keys are the correct ones but i suspect that the ones in your oem package cannot work since they associate jad and jar files with \windows\joedek.exe but there's no such file in \windows. The correct association is with \windows\jbed.exe. Your oem package will probably run ok but it won't let you start midlets installation right from the browser/file manager.
I'm attaching a slightly revised OEM package with correct file association, a link to jbed help in \windows\help and some missing png files added to initflashfiles.dat

Use the kitchen and don't delete anything or add anything. If that ROM works, start by removing the stuff from the OEM folder and build again. If that works, then you know the problem lies with one of your custom apps.

DO NOT REMOVE CAMERA!!!
It's not a clean package, it includes also some files and reg settings needed elsewhere in the rom. The other packages you listed can be safely removed. bye
This a simple and quick guide for everyone who wana make or just modify their own HTC DESIRE ROM's.(Rooted ones)
For example you downloaded a nice ROM from one of devs here, but they removed some application that you cant live without. Now you dont need to beg them to add those files back, simple add them your self and flash your rom.Missing APK's you can get simple by downloading any stock rom, than extract them and put them in your new ROM.
After you extracted files provided (c root recomended), you will see 2 maps
"Sign ROM" and "tools"
Signing ROM's:
After you modifed your ROM zip file, simple put it in "Sign ROM" map, and rename it to update.zip.Than run "Sign.bat" After the process is done you will get another zip called "update_signed.zip" which you can now put to your SD card and your ready for flashing. Note:JAVA SDK files are included, you only need to have normal java installed.

Pushing recovery files from windows:
Now to flash your ROM you dont need linux anymore, simple enter recovery (Power button+back, than select recovery...), and than in the map "tools" run recovery-windows.bat. Than you will get standard screen where you can flash your roms, partition SD, clear data and so on..
NOTE: You need to have HTC Sync driver installed or your phone wont be detected (you can get them from HTC)

(Thanks GeoTrail for link)
would this tool work for the HTC Legend aswell?
For signing roms yes, for pushing files not sure if Desire and legend use same files..
Ok this one is simple, but this is only how to add/delete several apps.
How about going little bit more deeper?
Well if you wana go deeper, you can download costom kernels with overclocks or low volatege and replace the ones in rom, or those circle battery mods or costom boot sounds and so on...Basicly your replacing/modifying original files. But this is just quick basic guide for basic stuff, let real ROM developing and costomizing to the developers who are good at it.
As far as hardware support goes is it the kernel that provides everything? Basically if I take an N1 rom (like cyanogen 5.0.6) and change to a desire kernel, is it likely to just work perfectly or are there other bits in the ROM that are likely to need changing?
Of course you can just use dsixda's Kitchen which is cross-platform and quite straightforward to use.
You just add the update.zip file you want to change, remove/add any apps you want and make any advanced changes you want too.
Select Build ROM and it'll create the new update.zip that you can flash to phone.
I've used it on my Desire without problem for adding/removing apps.
Well that kitchen is nice, but still..you need to downlaod virutal machine to make it run under windows or Cygwin tool than download JAVA SDK..setup lots of things.
My point of this thread was just vey basic and simple way to quickly add/remove/costomize files from ROM, without installling and downloading lots of tools, and quickly install it on Phone and test.
Sorry, I wasn't meaning to undermine your work. No doubt you've spent a lot of time creating this and trying to contribute to the community. It's far more than I can say for myself.
I was just pointing out there's something already out there, and more capable than this.
It's definitely good to see people helping out the members and this is definitely something useful
Everything is cool TheAshMan, and thanks for you link, im sure some enthusiastic people will try some advance things like that. But even my self im not big expert about Linux and phones, i do have great knowledge about windows and computers, but dont have much time for this area.
Screen shots on how to use this would help, I've come from cooking my own WinMo ROMs and wuld like to give this a try if possible
Also, as I use W7 x64 is it best to run the .bat files as an admin? Had issues using Windows methods in the past so have been using Linux to get rooted
I'm also using Windows 7 x64.
About running bat's as admin its not necessary unless you have some kind of UAC high settings, or running on some kind of limited user account. I never run this bats as admin and they work fine.
Basicly download some stock rom, or someones rom. And simple add or remove files inside rom.zip/system/app/
If you dont like facebook for example, just remove Facebook.apk and facebook.odex(if its present).
After your done with that, rename ROM to update.zip and put it in the folder
C:\Desire Tools\Sign ROM\ and excecute "Sign.bat" , and it will create signed rom with name update_signed.zip.
http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2921/signedrom.jpg
This is just some base, im not gona explain you about ROM deodexing, framework, boot images kernels and stuff, because im not expert at this.
Now you can put that file to root of your SD card.
Now you can test it on your phone.
Shut down your phone. Turn it ON while holding back button.You will see Bootloader selected, press power button again. Than Recovery will appear, you can navigate down with volumen UP AND DOWN and select Recovery and press POWER button again to select it.Phone with Red triangle will appear on your phone. Now go in map C:\Desire Tools\tools and excecute "recovery-windows.bat"
http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/1894/pushfiles.jpg
And on your phone you will get that screen with green letters where you can select to 'Flash zip from sdcard' ,where your signed rom will appear.(You need to wipe data before from the same menu)
I hope i made some thing clearer im writing this from work so dont have much time
Right, got a ROM and added 2 .apk files to the /system/app folder and now got a signed_update.zip...is that it? They'll be on the device from the start?
Seems to simple to me!!
How can you add a new radio? Or change the version number in About phone>Software?
Yea thats it. About those other things..Google is your friend...
edit mate
when i flash it says:
E: Can't find update script
rom.zip/META-INF/COM/google/android/update-script
Did you touch that in ROM? If you didint, than you removed something that you shouldnt.
Can u also remove apps from rom that you don't like by this method.

Yea, thats the all point of everything i wrote here. Very simple way of very quickly removing apps that you dont want from the rom before flashing it.
Also, you need to watch out, and to a bit experementing. Because sometimes if you remove some crucial app, you will start getting random crashes of applications or random bugs. Allways make a copy of original rom.
For example if you remove HTC-IME.apk, you wont have any kind of keyboard in the rom. Making it un-usable
Somebody already asked how to add radio update, is it maybe included in Modaco r3 rom(the one without apps2sd and modaco additional stuff)?
Tnx for help
