New WM6 ROM kitchen (from Ranju)

Hello Friends,
I have managed the new WM6 kitchen based on Ivan's new (17913.0.3.0) build. This is a clean vanilla kitchen, you can add your own flavor and the way you want it.
I've uploaded the kitchen to the following url and hope that you will like it.
http://www.siemens-bd.net/files/000000
Files have been splited into 10 parts (5MB each) because of my unstable internet connection here. Uploading a 50MB file for me is simply a nightmare! Please download all of them and unrar.
You will find two cmd files (1. BuildKitchen.cmd and 2. CreateROM.cmd) inside the ROM_DEV folder after the unrar.
Step-1: Run the BuildKitchen.cmd (first time only), it will dump the rom and prepare the kitchen for you.
[Additionally, you may use it to dump other WM6 rom and prepare the kitchen. In that case, decode the rom, copy (or overwrite) the nk.nba file to the ROM folder and run this cmd to build the kitchen.]
Step-2: Run the CreateROM.cmd to build the rom...as usual.
You will find a Ranju_OEM folder under the ROM_DEV folder. Some of the oem packages have been added if anyone is interested to use. Just copy your desired packages to the OEM folder and build the rom.
And finally, all credit goes to Ivan. Special thanx to Helmi, Midget, Bepe and Tuatara for their tools and support.
By the way, I've a limited bandwidth to this server, it will be great if someone mirror it somewhere.
Best regards,
Ranju

Thx for the new kitchen. Based on V3, correct?
Could you please clarify the 1st post?
Clean Vanilla: What did you remove from the ROM?
Cheers

BuildOS stops on error: the file 'temp\dump\Thumbs.db' already exists

I've just checked the OEM folder.
Very good Job: just like i was thinking. Probably I don't need any other apps for OEM.
THX!!!

Did you modify any cmd file?
If not, then delete the temp folder. Do a search on SYS & OEM for "Thumbs.db" and delete them if found any. Run the CreateROM.cmd.
I suppose "Thumbs.db" have been created by your picture browser apps.

"Thumbs.db" is a file that Windows XP (and Vista) create if you preview a picture or movie. Its not important at all (although Windows will complain that it is a "System File")
(Nifty fact: Windows XP can create the "thumbs.db" file in a read-only network share!)

Thanks for the info, i'll try deleting and recompile.
Deleted, compiled and flashed: every essential function i tested is working. The kitchen is very clean! Many thanks ranju!

Can you please make a cab of it so that we can install. Dont want to go through re in stalling rom. Appreciate
Or if you can advice the registry entries for both above issues please.

Phone.cab
A cab file for the file in phone.zip is not that difficult since it's just a couple of registry entries.
The other one is more difficult since it also includes files.
So just to help a little, a cab file for the registry stuff in the phone.zip

Actually not that difficult
When comparing the old and new files, I noticed that just the RGU file is different.
Since this is the file with registry settings, I made a quick cab for it.
So not to replace the previous HTC Manager install or anything like that, just to corrent the registry entries.
ps. This and the previous file are not made/reviewed/anything by Ranju, but I've just given them him (her?) name to avoid confusion.

Mmmm. Removing items from the registry.... Didn't think about that one. So that means that the 2 cabinet files I made will not work.

This is as easy!
Thanks ranju, keep up good work!

SUCCESS!!! mrram's HTC WMP TodayPlug-in Package for OEM Roms

I have completed a OEM Package for HTC WMP Today Plug-in. Just put it in the OEM folder in cooking. Have yet to figure out how to put in .CAB format PLEASE HELP!!!

Anyone have a Today PlugIn for HTC's Audio Manager?

Here is the cab.
Removed the option.xml, the dsm and the rgu files.
Imported the registery settings from the rgu to the cab file.
All the other files reside in the windows folder.
Untested though, but should work
[edit]
see my post here for the working version.

the-equinoxe,
NOpe, didnt work for me, it says, The program or setting cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate.

thx man
thx now testing on pandora´s rom

will sign the files and remake the cab, standby for the update ..

error instaling "the setup was unssesfull" any ideas why??
g4 cid locked
2 gigs mini sd
ipl/spl 2.26.0001
rom 4.0.0.0 WWE
radio 2.47.11
protocol 4.1.13.24

If you have downloaded the new version, and still get an untrusted error, you should install the following certificate.
unzip, copy to ppc and double click on certificate (on ppc not pc!!)..

SIM Manager request

ATT SIM Manager
Posted this in Kaiser, with no luck so,
Anyone have a cab of the SIM Manager that you can access in programs?
Installed the one from dutty's cab thread,but the applet doesn't show up in programs or anything.
Any help?
Alemaker

Did you ever find this? I am looking too.

nope!
C'mon chefs, help out here PLEASE!

Found the app in Alex's OEM pkgs, and asked Kyphur if he could make a cab out of it in his v1.2 thread. That's the best I've been able to come up with.

thx, but that's the one we're having issues with. It'll install and give access to the SIM card but, the applet isn't there.
Alemaker

Maybe the older version will work. I'll put it up so you can give it a try:

make a cab from the 6.33 version please

After much help from Dutty (thanks!) I can now confirm that this cab (attached) will install SIM Manager 6.33 (even though under remove applications it says it installed 6.31).
Unfortunately, it does not automatically create a shortcut ... so after the install you will have to (a) find the exe file in your windows folder (remember to "show all files") and then (b) create a shortcut to drop into your "windows/startmenu/programs" directory.
Worked fine for me ... and thanks again to Dutty for educating me here.

ey man, If you don't matter, same CAB, with version corrected and link added
Cheers.

Problem with an extracted ROM

Hello,
I extracted Schap's ROM 4.31, no problems until that.
But when I want to reconstruct it with Ervius package tools + Build OS, without adding any package (so no cooking if I can tell that...), there are some problems when it come to the last process, the "Registry file processor and hive builder.". It tell me that : 'InitRegistry FAILED in file ".\Registry\1dc3da02-499f-4547-9fd2-78cddfda9c62.rgu" within a few lines of line 1.'
So, I looked at this RGU file, and indeed, the file is empty ! And there are many other RGU in the same way !
So, what is the problem ? Bad extraction ?
Thanks in advance.

Ok,
Nobody wants to help me ?
Why ?

up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been posted in the ROM kitchen thread and the reconstructing ROMs thread many MANY times. You can't re-cook certain chef's ROMs, because they don't include .RGU files.
Hope this helps!

Thanks you very much Alex, I read the Kitchen thread, but may me be not wholly...
So, is there a possibility to include the missing rgu's from other rom ?
Just another question,
during the past weeks I reconstructed my factory ROM, there wasn't all the RGU files too, but however, this has worked... Why ?
Thanks a lot for your great patience...

Some directories just won't have RGU files, which is ok. This is what you've encountered with your factory ROM.
RGU files are important because they contain registry information. Taking them from another ROM is going to be a very painful process, and that's also where 75% of the customization takes place, so losing the important registry information from the original ROM will make it less than useful.
For more information about RGU files, read my OEM Primer from my OEM Package Tutorial...
Hope this helps!

Thanks you Alex,
I already read your OEM primer tutorial.
In fact, if I wanted to cook the Schap's ROM, it's because the included Arcsoft MMS program doesn't work. So, I wanted to include yours (the last version 5 cab), and others app, eg. MS voice command and Transcriber.
I'm very ashamed...

Why be ashamed? It's good that you tried something new and even if it didn't work as expected, it was a learning experience.

Changing Default Keyboard Skin - WM6.1

Hi all,
I need some advice on doing something that was fairly easy to do in WM6.0 ROMs, which is changing the default keyboard skin by replacing the msim.96.dll.0409.mui file.
I've tried a number of WM6.1 ROMs and this does not work. The only way I have been able to get the .mui file working was to re-cook the ROM and using an OEM package. Even after I re-cook with a new keyboard skin and try to replace the .mui file it does not work. Very strange.
Any of the cooks out there have any ideas why this is? I did a reg. dump of a ROM with and without the keyboard OEM package but did not find anything specific that would show why this does not work.
Appreciate any feedback. I know this works without any issues in WM6.0 ROMs.
Thank you.

Don't know what your doing wrong buddy but most of the time you need to cook the new .mui file in like I always do and i have no issue with the WM6.1 roms ever using the grey keyboard that I always use in my roms. To get this straight your dumping the rom and then copying the new .mui file right over the old file if there is one at all then rebuilding the rom? that is the only way it will work you can't copy over it once you have rebuilt the rom it needs to be cooked in.

austinsnyc,
Thanks for the response.
If I cook the .mui file in a ROM it works fine. The problem is not being able to replace the file (even though the file is overwritten). I was able to do this in WM6.0 ROMs but it doesn't seem this is possible in WM6.1 ROMs and I just wanted to confirm it.
So if I dump, change file, re-cook, works fine. I guess I'll have to do that with any of the new WM6.1 ROMs I end up running.
Thanks again.

Actually you can change it easily via cab install but you need to sign it first. You can try the attached cab, and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1610615&postcount=3 for other skin.

Try this. First import the attached Keyboard Cert registry file (use dotfred's task manager which does registry editing, or resco registry editor). Once you do that, you should be able to use the various keyboard cabs. I've attached one that has like 20 keyboard styles you can choose from (uses mortscript to do this). Choose the one you want, soft reset, and presto...
