Here it is:
This utility runs on your computer (PC/Laptop) not on your PPC Phone!
You will be Patching the nbh file before you flash your device.
Requires you have Dot NET Framework 2.0.0x or better installed.
This simple tool will easily change:
The Rom Version Displayed during the Boot Process.
The Initial Rom Date
The PagePool Setting (supports Dynamic, 6mb, 12mb, 16mb, 18mb, 24mb & 32mb).
Easy to use:
1. Click [Browse] and find your NBH File
2. Click [Analyze], it will find the Rom Version, Rom Date and PagePool Settings and tell you what they are.
3. Make the desired changes.
4. Click [Modify]
5. If you click [Analyze] again it will verify that your changes were made to the image (imemory).
6. Click [Save]
You have changed your PagePool and/or Update the Rom Date!
I have tested this and successfully flashed the following modified Rom Images:
AT&T WM6.0 Rom 1.62.502
Dopod WM6.1 Rom 3.10
AT&T WM6.1 Rom 3.51
Use at your own risk.
I will be keeping it in my 4shared Public Folder: Kyphur.4shared.com. There is now a folder for the PagePool Patcher, go there for the orignal & latest Versions.
Special thanks to duttythroy, Tayton & Sleuth255 it was their info that got this started.
If you want to support development of this (and possibly other Rom Cooking Tools) click on the [About] button to find a [Donate!] button.
Also, it has been reported to work on Touch dual Rom Files.
Enjoy....
Can you add 10mb PagePool Size ?
Is-it possible to modify the first number in ROM version ?
Thanks for your hard work !
thanks alot for your hard work kyphur. Will this work on slueth's 1.2 or schap's? What is it supposed to say if it don't work? TIA..
No it is not possible to modify the first number, even if I actually overwrite it in the Rom file it will have no effect.
As for adding new PP Sizes, I think I've got it pretty well covered. I mean is there really that much of a difference between 10 & 12mb? Yeah, I know I have 16 & 18 but that's because 16/18mb seems to be a sweet spot with the Kaiser.
Tell you what, if I find other reasons to make a new compile then I'll add a few more PP Sizes.

It should work on all of them.
If it reports any strange data (like Rom Version or Date contains something out of place) or an unusual PagePool Number then let me know.

Very good to have a patcher for all ROMS
But, when I hv used it on your own ROM (XDA live 3.0) and set the PP to dynamic (which I believe is the best), it failed to analyze the ROM again.
So, I was afraid to flash the ROM with wrong parameters
I'm looking into it right now, found a minor coding issue related to adding the "Classic Rom" support that only affected setting the PP back to Dynamic.

Great Great Great
Works flawlessly (tested on many versions)
One last question, can we do it on the phone memory without need to re-flash after modification.
Thanks
Nope, you got to modify the image file before flashing.

Last update:
I did change the PP in your ROM to Dynamic
After flashing the phone freezes at windows welcome screen and never prompt to touch the screen to continue preliminary setup.
I changed the PP of the same NBH file from Dynamic to 32MB, reflashed, and worked.
Couldn't get my favor dynamic PP
Wow, that is really odd, for Dynamic I simply set the values back to their default.
I'm busy with work right now and might not get a chance for in depth testing for a few days but by this weekend I'll give my development kaiser a workout and see if I can duplicate your results.

This rom is a close as it can get to the original one.....a super clean rom is also in the way....
This rom is not a hack from another device.
Many thanks to mamaich BEPE AND dr.P FOR ALL THE Support and all the authors/xda of the freeware apps.... and specially.....my wife that lend her wizard to me in order to finish this rom,and for putting up with the many hours i ignored her.
The rom is based in the [REAL THING]
PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THE ROM AS I WILL NOT ANSWER ....POST YOUR QUERIES IN THE FORUM FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE.
Please note that i had no chance of fully testing this rom because my wizard is not fully operational......this rom is intended for users to use it as a base for their own roms....
Therefore my support for this rom will be very limited.
This rom was build as a special request from jwzg and other members.
There will be a supper clean rom....for clean freaks....eheh
Also there will be an updated version of the current "real thing"
rom has been taking down due to a problem in phone settings....
................................................
Thanks for this Faria. This is a clean as I need and want it.

So far so good (thanks for a clean rom faria...this is a perfect rom for me to start practicing cooking on). Only thing i have noticed so far is if you go into the phone settings and hit ok, it stays on that screen (only a soft reset removes it as far as i can tell. i flashed the rom again to make sure that wasnt it). can anyone replicate this?
*edit* end call button can close it.
does this clean rom also include registry wizard? and total commander?

Hello!
I bring to your attention a small script to change the size of PagePool directly on the device.
The script allows to replace the size PagePool From 2.00 to 16.00th mbyte without a reflash of the device and loss of data.
After work of a script it is enough to make a soft reset to the device.
In a script is implemented the algorithm of automatic search of the address of offset and check result of search with use of check value on algorithm MD5 . In this mode every possible checks are made so much what kill the device practically not possible.
Also there is a possibility of instructions of own displacement of value of the size PagePool In a case when automatic search cannot find out it. In this mode value to the specified address is checked only. And if it not in the range of values of the size PagePool from 2 to 16, script also refuses to make changes to a device insertion.
The script is checked up with several firmwares and devices.
If program can't autodetect offset value of PagePool, generate "dev info"
and provide it to me. Im add your device in autodetection feature.
Thankful in advance for responses about work of a script and the help in perfection of this.
Screenshots and script are applied
P.S. Sorry for bad english
latest version available at ftp://intruder.spb.ru/PPSmartChanger.exe
First of all thank you for your hard work!
I read everywhere about this "PagePool". Can i ask what's this? And which PagePool is more wise to use?
TIA
If I correctly have understood you, I answer
PagePool it is area which it is used by system for caching various information. The size of accessible RAM depends on the size of this area for. As a rule this value selects everyone under itself individually. Someone uses the big programs which is necessary a lot of memory, and someone a much small programms.
As the program allows to change this value without loss of data, it is possible to experiment.
If has worked address autodetection that all it should be good.
If has not worked, I need info about your device and firmware to try add your device to autodetection.
Thanks for this sweet app....
Now I can change the pagepool on the fly... even though I wonder how many times I will actually change it...
You can change the size of PagePool as many times as you need without any limits.
Version updated:
1. Improved method of info retrival from device.
2. Added multidevices support.
3. EXPERIMENTAL: Added support of WM6 on FS LOOX C550 (can't test on device, my device HTC Touch)
So, what would be the best size for the Touch? I know it should be smaller, I've read 4MB somewhere but is that best or at least better than original?
I'm using BatteryStatus with enabled CPUScaler and I noticed when I change the PagePool size to 4 Mb, TCPMP player works on higher frequency (299 MHz, Boost) instead of 247 MHz (Max) with 8 Mb PagePool size.
So if PagePool size is 4 Mb and less we have low productivity.
I found that 6 Mb is good size. The productivity is the same as with 8 Mb and free memory bigger for 2 Mb.
Version updated.

Can I dump my touch with all installed programs, cooking a complete rom including installed programs?
No - that's not possible I Think.
But you can use sprite backup.
It worked perfectly for me when I flashed the ROM back.
But keep in mind that it only will work correctly on the same language of the ROMs.

Here is a trick I have used for quite some times with Sprite Backup 5.1
Sprite Backup version 5.1, version 6.02 is more fancy, 5.1 is good enough.
1. Do a full backup, make sure option Create Self Extract Exec
2. Hard reset (optional)
3. Flash new ROM
4. Run the backup file, make sure the Upgrade Mode Restore Option is Check.
5. Kneel down and pray (optional, or take a cup of coffee).
SKtools is handy.
Step 4 is most important. When it asks you for the upgrade fine, Click None. Minor cleanup unavoidable but heck a lot better than of re-install all the softwares.
Sometimes you may find the machine run slugglish by doing that. I am not sure why.
You may flash the new ROM, re-install all the softwares, see if the machine run faster, but few days later, you will feel it run slugglish. I am not sure why. (The laptop runs runs much faster than once I bought it and take it home and installed with applications.)
So I just keep buying new machines... hahaha
holy moly.
going great at 10% of flashing.
but i feel confident the tute was on the spot.
muchos gracias.
And yes you are right (you didn't say it but you must have thought it), I could have added it myself to WIKI. But just had to try it myself first off course.
And am i right in believing i could have allready replaced some of the graphical files in the dumped "ROM" directory?
Or is it to dangerous at this change because the file size needs to fit?

100%,... first boot screen passed........second boot screen passed....

Do NOT change files in the dump directory without proper tools!!!
You will mess up the ROM
When you have a look at the dump directory there are some info files with data for the places in the ROM which need to be recalculated.

Dumping Elf WM6 Italian version ROM
Before trying to put new Rom images, i would like to backup the original one.
I followed the (simply) tutorial, but i'm confused about this step:
"need the ruu_signed.nbh from valid update (extract with winrar)"
Which file do I need?
I don't understand why I need a valid ROM when I'm trying to dump a Rom from my Elf
Can I use an other language ROM version (English, Dutch....) or is needed only an Italian one?
Thx in adv and sorry for my poor english

you need this as a "shell" or "template" because the .nbh files are made in a way that cannot be recontructed (so far I understand - correct me if I'm wrong).
And yes you can use an ROM with another language. I took the Australian ROM - look at the first paragraph "files you need"
This is usually a .exe file that you can extract with winrar (or winzip maybe)
P.S.: your english is not so bad

Don't upload to XDA. I've seen some directories with full roms on FTP. But this is no longer allowed and files will be deleted.
XDA's allready been in trouble with MS about this. So either use third party file sharing or privatly owned FTP.
r0p3..
So to get the radio and SPL do i need to redo first extraction but then for these files? Or are these IPL/SPL?

I don't know yet - I still have to dig in the wiki about that.
It's very dangerous in this area - if you mess up IPL or SPL your baby is usually lost forever. I don't mind about those as long pof's USPL works beautiful.
Radio might be not so critical. But 2.97. is already available - so it would only be for the fun of it

1) Download and unzip android full http://rapidshare.com/files/293363380/android-15-10-09.rar
note that now any bundle can run with wifi on polaris. please check post #4 for bundles
2) Open default.txt and search for "board-htcpolaris.panel_type=1" (it´s a small file)
There are 2 different polaris and you should change this value according to yours.
POLA200 (rounded bottom) 0 or 3 (3 prefered) http://img.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/htc/htc-touch-cruise-01.jpg
POLA100 1 or 2 http://www.infotec-service.com/shop/images/HTC/htcCruise00.jpg
3) Copy the files to the root of your sd card
4) run Haret.exe from your polaris
ISSUES
audio on phonecalls doesn´t work
1) you need to make the first phone call.
2) radio 1.59.xx is recommended
3) even with 1 and 2 some ppl still have problems (me for example)
DETAILS
- basefiles-20091009 , zImage-15-10-09, rootfs 15-10-09 and Ion-v1.5-2009-09-12-sdcard (system)
FLAVORS
- Ion´s Google-polaris-Ion-2009-09-12.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/280093611/Google-polaris-Ion-2009-09-12.rar
(this is devs prefered bundle. if you stay with thisyou´ll probably get more support etc)
- mssmisonpackage-0911.zip (rogers) works FAST.mssmisonpackage-polaris-0911.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/280130360/mssmisonpackage-polaris-0911.rar
(language support .. at least spanish, pdf viewer..and some more goodies)
Won´t give support for other bundles as:
- Hero builds are still "experimental" last one is extremly slow on polaris. not usable
- Other builds aren´t as tested as this and may be more buggy

Wow... Nice Thread. Thx
Good thread !!!
Hi Iseeka,
Very good idea to have this thread.
I'm not an expert but maybe it is important to mention that POLA100 devices usually go for panel type 1, while POLA200 devices usually choose panel type 3.
There is some option in the default.txt file to add the APN settings for data connection, but personally this has not worked for me, since still you have to configure these APN settings in Android Settings once booted.
I saw you are still going to add a link for the downloaded file, so I wonder if it is necesary to explain what to do with system.sqsh... I personally dont know, I have only used system.img files but it would be nice to know how to use them.
thanks for this initiative.
JM
EDIT: OK, after my post, the explanation about Panel type appeard, thanks! In my case I identifyed my Polaris as POLA100 because of the label on the handset after removing battery.

Thanks i hadn't do lot of thing just some haretconsol log and kernel test .
Off for today go to sleep.
Hope this thread will help n00b to install android and will improve the number of people interest on porting android to our device (maybe some devs are here..)
Will try.
Thanks
Hi!
Thanks for trying to keep a clean thread with updates, etc.
Is it possible to have a 4shared link for the files? I can't access rapidshare...
Is it a hero build in your second post or just a cupcake?
If it isn't, do you know if is it possible to make one?
A question for the developers : it's a good thing to keep the system file in .img format I think. When I tried squash fs version, it seemed to be slower.
Do you know if it's only on the Polaris? Because they all use squash fs build on vogue and kaiser...
Wifi not connecting with WPA2 in this build
Hi. I want to report that with this ION build u posted (very good and fast AFAICS) wifi goes ON but I can't connect with my AP protected with WPA2. With Cyanogen with zImage alpha5 and wifi.ko IRQ 18 no probs instead. Later (now I'can't) I'll try this build with that wifi.ko and I'll let u know. See u

I think Cyanogen has wifi driver built-in.. (if you talk about bally´s modded cyanogen has driver built in).
Can u please delete wlan.ko, boot again and see if wifi still works? In that case wlan.ko is inside system.img and we have better wlan.ko (18 or the new one wich is better)
If that cyanogen version load the driver from file i´ll update 1st page with your settings

I think is 08/08/09 system.img but I´m not sure. This version is used by developers to test as it´s a stable and tested version.
This is the only build with full wifi support. (Bally3 made 2 bundles (cyanogen and another) with wlan.ko inside the build so updates in wlan.ko are missing
Devs are working on 2 more bundles
1 Newbie16 on a hero based (is going to be complex with sd partitioning)
2 DJ_Steve on a donut version (is going to be without partitioning)

Hi. Excuse my really bad english. Sometimes I can' express what I think!
So, here are my results (only wifi related):
I've wifi starting and connecting with my AP WPA2 protected with:
1) Cyanogen build from Bally
2) KaiserHero build with sense ui with kernel alpha 5 and wifi.ko IRQ 18
With the ION build u posted in the first post of this thread (without changin any file) my wifi starts correctly but doesn't connect to my AP even if I disable the wireless protection. My phone see the AP but dows not connect to it. I hope can help. Bye-

cyanogen modded by bally has an old wlan.ko ...older than (18), the one in my bundle is the newest

I don´t know about this version. as far as i know the ion build included in my package is the only one that loads an external wlan.ko file.
can you please try if deleting wlan.ko still works wifi? if still works it doesnt load the external one.Or give me link and i´ll check if i can
BTW if it loads external, you can try with wlan.ko and zimage from my bundle (new wlan.ko is improved and also allow to load any compatible kernel)

I´ll try to ask devs but it´s strange. I think has been tested with protection. they probably want a dmesg log. you know how to do it? If not please search over other advanced threads as this one is intended as an easy access to android.. i will try to help you there too

@syto203 is your phone rom WWE or specific language?
SuperJustKitchen v0.9 Released.
Go to my site: http://justkitchen.info to get the updates and the info. It takes to long to update every device's forum that is supported, and I plan to support all devices, eventually.
Word of warning:
Not all EXT's have been tested or modified for the every device. Please test test and test and then let me know which packages don't work and what YOU've done to fix them. (I don't have time to fix ALL of them by myself.) Some packages will only be compatible with some devices.
(I'm no longer updating each thread separately for each device but just updating my site and posting the release info here. I will only update each thread to say that a new version is out.)
**Warning**
Before using this kitchen, you MUST read the whole thread. Any questions that have been answered will be ignored. This is your only warning.
**Disclaimer**
I am not responsible for any damage that may be done to your phone with a ROM created in this kitchen.
I am not responsible for any damage done to your computer.
I am not responsible for anything... at all.
Introducing SuperJustKitchen!
SuperJustKitchen is based on [http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=843218"]airxtreme[/URL]'s osKitchen Zero. All credit on for the kitchen backend goes to him.
Features
A completely stripped ROM. (Work in progress for some devices.)
LZX and XPR compression (Also option for No compression.)
Auto clean files that are language specific or DPI specific that your ROM does not need
Auto port missing language MUI files
Automatic rec'loc'ing for devices without native 6.5 nk's
6.1 and 6.5 support
Auto XIP and SYS porting
Auto NBH packing
Tool to convert OEM packages to EXT packages
Auto file conflict fix (don't have to removing older file that conflict (not that there are any. )
Save custom ROM settings (for cooks for multiple ROMs)
Cook multiple languages at the same time with the same ROM settings (Have to add language support yourself. I removed the required MUI's a while back because they made updating the kitchen and adding devices a nightmare.)
MUCH better organization of EXT packages
Active development instead of a program that is no longer being developed
Cleaner and easier to use interface
A built-in and customizable Tutorial section
And more!
Builds included
21056 - WM6.1
23658 - WM6.5 with new redesigned GUI
At the moment, this is an ENGLISH (WWE) only kitchen. This might change...
NOTE: In order for me to keep track of whether my time was well spent or wasted, if you use this kitchen to make a ROM, please either include SJK in the name or just mention that it was SJK cooked in your ROM's thread.
NOTE: This kitchen assumes that you know how to flash through SD, recover from a bad flash and are able to backtrack your steps to figure out how you broke your own ROM. If you do not understand these, please learn them first. Do not PM me asking me. I have written numerous walkthroughs on all these except on how to backtrack your steps. For that, just remember what you're doing as you do it and keep backups.
If you find any issues, PLEASE report them to the bug tracker in my website. It will help me make this kitchen better!
ENJOY!!!
COOL......
Kwel, great booster for new chefs..!!!
error..error....
The elf/elfin side is untested (as I didn't have a tester for it) so let me know if you run into any problems.
Please also post any problems in my bug tracker on my site. Thank you

Are you HardSPL'd? If so, do you have the file size limit removed? Also, don't include most of the packages. Your device only has so much space. You're not supposed to include that many programs.

It shows that you are registered twice and are activated on both accounts.
I do not have the ability to see passwords. IM me one of the usernames and passwords that you used so I can troubleshoot.
As far as the ROM goes:
If you have an elf, that file size is massive. Remember that the limit only removes the lower limit of a 50mb requirement. The elf doesn't have much space. Do not enable so many things. If you must have all those things, at least enable LZX compression and EXT-UPX compression.

same problem...
even friend of mine from opal have same problem..
dont know y this happen?
wait for the owners.
Looks like there is a corruption somewhere in the kitchen. It is affecting every device. I think it has to do with the executable I changed last minute before updating the kitchen. I'll check myself on my computer.
any update yet?
I've been home sick with the flu so I haven't even touched my computer since. I will let you know more tomorrow. I should get some time to work on it, then.
Get well soon! We are awaiting yout kitchen, seems to be really nice once finished

i m very eager to try this new kitchen...
Thanks guys.
Do me a favor.
Go to your sources folder and delete the "_Compress" folder then try to cook and flash a ROM. If it works, then that was the problem all along... he moved the folder to another location but the kitchen still reads both.)
