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!

Little update of the kitchen
This is a little update of the kitchen:
* Due to the slow response of the phone, dialing/ending tone have been removed
* Update for HTC Task Manager 1.5 (Exclusive apps can be added now)
Please download the zip and copy/replace to the associated folder.
Update: HTC Task Manager cab attached.

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.

Build my first Rom
I've this ROM kitchen few days back from one of my friends and was simply amazed when I build my first rom.
This is as easy!
Thanks ranju, keep up good work!

palm threader to OEM package

hello all....ive been looking around for a way to make the Palm Threading cab into an oem package. idk if its possible or not but from what ive seen its way beyond me considering how the app integrates itself into the os. another reason why idk if its possible or not.
the reason why i want to do with is bc i really like the palm threading app...but i find it that it majorly decreases the speed of ur wizard for some reason or another. all i use my phone for is calling and txting so if i had this as an oem package i could cook my rom and hopefully it would not slowdown the overall system...idk if its possible or not.
thanks before hand!...and yes i have done alot of searching on this....lol
o and sry if im completly retarted in thinking all this lol

it might be possible, but you need to provide a cab

cab
alright ill pm u the link. bc i no ppl got in trouble for posting the cab b4

Did anyone ever get the MMS feature wokring on a Wizard???

i was able to create a OEM package for this program...but it doesnt work when building the rom.
when i try to build i get an error
"The target file "temp\dump\htmlnote.dll" is a directory, not a file."
i never got the initflashfile generator program to work so i had to create my own
initflashfile if that matters. here is a copy

and i also made the .rgu file with the help of the cab analyzer
if anyone can help it would b great appreciated, im using a base rom with no other OEM packages. if any one needs the palm threader cab let me know. thanks

The issue is that this overwrites a currently existant file. Chec that portion out. I have been attempting to get this working along with Arcsoft since the mms ability does not work with this application.

ya ur right...i went through the sys folder and deleted the files as the error would appear and made it oem build process but then got an error could not create default.hv and user.hv. does this mean i screwed up in my .rgu file?
i made the .rgu file in textpad and just copied the regestry intres from the cab manager and saved as unicode
i have linked it below
and yes i this process doesnt really and OEM package bc u cant just drag and drop it in...im just seeing if i can make a rom with the palm app preinstalled,
thanks again for the help

Based on your intitflashfile.txt file you provided, these duplicate named files are not really duplicates (as it appears you are moving them to \Windows\Palm Messaging (I assume this is how the cab does this?). If thats the case, then don't rememove the original versions from the rom. Instead prefix all of the files (or the duplicate ones at least) in your package with palmmessaging_ or pm_ or somesuch to make them unique. Then in your initflashfile.txt you would do something like this:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Palm Messaging"):-File("htmlnote.dll","\Windows\palmmessaging_htmlnote.dll")
By doing this, both files can exist in the \Windows folder, but then when it moves it to true destination it will then be renamed to the correct name that that app expects.
Personally, I hate putting stuff in my roms where you have duplicates of the files in both \Windows and then in some other directory. Seems like such a waste (but you have to do that sometimes based on what you are trying to make into a package).
Hope that helps.

As for your rgu, get rid of all the spaces! Example:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{283E0018-E5C9-44e4-9864-4C4A3DED3BC3}]
"EventType" = dword : 00000002
should look like:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{283E0018-E5C9-44e4-9864-4C4A3DED3BC3}]
"EventType"=dword:00000002
I'm not sure if thats specifically the problem you have, but thats the first fix I'd do, as I don't think it likes things to be pretty

oh, here's another couple of problems I just noticed:
Code:
"AppName" = "\Windows\messaging.exe"
should be
Code:
"AppName"="\\Windows\\messaging.exe"
You have to use double backslashes in the .rgu file for the backslash to show up (otherwise it thinks you are escaping the next character).
Also, stuff like this is wrong:
Code:
"" = "LS6021023"
should be
Code:
@="LS6021023"
If you are using Core Kitchen you can use the tool in there to dump the cab file and it will give you a nice registry entry file to use.

wow thanks alot lol, man i didnt think i could mess up that much in 1 file lol.
umm in the .rgu file you say i should use \\ instead of \ is this universal throughout the file to where i could could use the find/replace function in textpad of is it more specfic? also with the "" needing to change to @.
thanks for the quick response and all the help

o and on the initflashfile, i was actually thinking about doing what u said b4, when nottosmart mentioned the error b4 was about a duplicate file and i did some searching and came to a post in the core kitchen thread(yes im using the core kitchen) about how to make OEM packages that said something in relation to what you said..but i didnt no at the time thats what i should do.
o and i use the cab analyzer(im not sure if its the same as the cab dumper u mentioned) in the core kitchen, thats how i came up with the reg entries in my .rgu file. all i did was opened the cab in the program and then clicked xml, regestry entries, and copied what was there.
thanks again

I think in your file the \\ for \ is universal (but not positive, I didn't read every line just scanned for things I know to look for). And yea, I think everywere you have "" = you could change that to @=
Also I noticed you had a hex: entry line. Not sure that one is correct format or not.
One thing that helped me a lot was to take a cab and install it. Then go into the registry with PHM Regedit or the Regedit in TaskManager and use the Export to dump out registry entries I knew were created by that install. This will give you the proper formatting.

ok i got the regedit tool and ill work on getting the reg entries that way....
but i tried what u said with initflashfile and i got the same error as b4 about how its a directory not a file....idk what to do...

what you need is an application called Cab Manager. It will give you the reg keys. and if you buy it you will be able to do an export on the reg keys which will work perfectly on in your package

hello, i was just wondering if you guys got the OEM package working yet. i have been using the palm threader for a few days and i love it. it has been a while since the last post here and i just wanna see if its working or not. thanks in advanced and if it is working, please let me know where to get it.

WM6 ROM Cook Guide for Novice
Cook a ROM is easier than you thought.
By challhsu
2007.08.03
Translated from Chinese
Take my WM6.EN.Build.AnniversaryofP.L.A.Special.SP for example.
All tools needed prepared, except the copyright protection software.
Copyright Tools needed:
EmEditor
UltraEdit
And this may help you advanced:
WinCE CAB Manager
Steps:
ONE Decompress the ROM
1.Put the file nk.nbf to the folder where this guide in.
2.Run the TyphoonNbfTool.exe on the folder T。Like this pic,click the文件 (File).
3.click 打开NBF…(open NBF…),find nk.nbf.
4.select nk.nbf,and click打开(Open).
5.right-click on the OS,choose Dump decrypted.
CAUTION:
Not all the ROMs only have OS, still have others like IPL SPL GSM Splash Screen,this guide这only have how to cook the OS.
6.just click 保存(S)(save(s)).
7.If it successed, you will see:
8.back to the folder where nk.nbf is, and you will find a new file OS.n_d.
8．rename OS.n_d to OS.nb。
9．run decompress.bat,to decompress the ROM. You will see a cmd windows,just wait for the windos disappear. And then, you will find a new folder and 6 new files. OK, the ROM is decompressed.
Dump this folder contain all files of the ROM, If you just want to add or delete some files, now you can.
default.reg and user.reg formed the registry of the ROM.
initflashfiles.dat we called文件发行表,
we do not need to edit the other 3 files dump_MemoryMap.txt imgfs_raw_data.bin imgfs_removed_data.bin.
TWE Edit the ROM:
10.Add or Delete files:
Enter the folder dump,you can see many folders and files. Folders contains modules（模块） while files means files of ROM.
If you do not choose the Hide System Files(隐藏受保护的系统文件),you can find more hide folders and files. They are all system files, do not edit them unless you know what you do.
Example:If we want to cancel the STK_UISP’s English support, we can find the file STK_UISP.exe.0409.mui on the forlder dump, and delete it.
Similarly, you can also add or delete other functions by add or delete the right folders and files. But advanced functions may need several files and need to edit the reg and initflashfiles.dat（对于高级功能，往往需要删除多个文件，并且需要同时对注册表和文件发行表进行操作。
Be sure you know what you are doing.
11.Edit the registry:
At this step, you need EmEditor UltraEdit and Notepad2.exe.You can also take other tools to instead them.
Back to the folder where default.reg is.
（1）code fo .reg(注册表编码):
Open the default.reg by EmEditor, and choose file(文件)—save as(另存为), you can see a window like the pic below. chooseUTF-16LE 添加Unicode签名(BOM) 无更改, and save.
After save, the size of the fils approximately twice that before.
Take the user.reg to UTF-16LE too.
（2）Edit the registry:
Open default.reg and user.reg by Notepad2.exe.
Notepad2.exe can use more eye-catching to see all keys, it is not easy to confuse.使用Notepad2.exe可以比较醒目的看到各个键值，不容易混淆。
And then, you can edit the reg.
Strongly recommends the novice take some simple operate for test.
There list some simple keys can be used for pracise:
Bluetooth name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident\Name
Automatic check time(自动对时)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL下NITZEnable 0 means close while 1 means opern
Change the operator name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\RIL\OPERATORNAMES
中国移动的网络号"46000",value data随便填你要显示的字符，联通的网络号为46001
12.edit initflashfiles.dat文件发行表的修改：
文件发行表名称为initflashfiles.dat，open it by Notepad2.exe or other. And add or remove what you want.
Example：
root:-Directory(“My Documents”) means MD My Documents
Directory(“My Documents”):-Directory(“My Ringtons”) means MD a folder My Ringtons on folder My Documents.
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu"):-File("Speed Dial.lnk","\Windows\scut.lnk") means copy the scut.lnk on \windows to \windows\start menu, and rename it to speed dial.lnk
Three compress the ROM:
13run compress.bat，when you see press any key to continue… ,do it,until the cmd windows disappeared. If no error, you will take the new OS.nb.
But if you find error, you must check and fix it.
@ECHO off
set _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
copy default.reg boot.rgu /y
t\rgucomp.exe -b
pause——this is the first press any key to continue…,if you see error before there, it means there must be some errors on default.reg
copy boot.hv default.hv /y
copy user.reg boot.rgu /y
pause——this is the second press any key to continue…,if you see error before there, it means there must be some errors on user.reg
t\rgucomp.exe -b
pause
copy boot.hv user.hv /y
del boot.rgu
del boot.hv
copy default.hv dump /y
copy user.hv dump /y
copy initflashfiles.dat dump /y
pause
t\buildimgfs
pause
t\make_imgfs os.nb –nosplit
Example:
Though the text, we know, this error appears before the first press any key to continue…so,we know there must be some error on default.reg.
Go on, within a few lines of 3.means the error is on the 3 line of default.reg
Open default.reg by UltraEdit-32，you will see”***DOS**?”,click”N”.
Then, you can see a test like the pic below.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pkg]
@=“package”——there should [email protected]=”package” 这里和其他对比可知，引号应为半角，这里错用全角。应为@=”package”
Fixed the error, and run compress.bat again, till no errors appeared. And you can take the new OS.nb.
14enter the folder T, and run nb2nbf_tornado.exe.
Steps:
1.Model ID;
2.Language;
3.CID;
4.Output file;
5.Click;
6.Find the OS.nb;
7.Choose OS;
8.Click at here, it will take a number, it’s important, be sure don’t change it;
9.click Translate, build the new nk.nbf。
You will see:

``╭⌒╮ ..','， ',',','

Yeah, at least TRY to also translate your q's / posts into English. No problem if you aren't a native English speaker and make mistakes.

wm6 bin
What if you a wm6.bin file to start with?
How can we get the nbf file from there. I assumed that nbf file maybe in the wm6.bin But I can not explore the bin file (tried virtual drives, creating a cue file and mounting it, even tried to convert it to ISO..nothing seems to work).
directly: how do we go from wm6.bin to os.nbf
thanks for any advice

Can they also post the chinese version of their question, in addition to the Englishm so chinese speakers can help when their English doesn't work?
Some things don't always translate well, so it could save some frustration.

When using the tools, Chinese becomes gibberish even if I enable non-unicode support for it.

Rom Cooking? (Help from the Pros!)

I have been messing around with cooking roms for a few weeks now. I have cooked up a rom (New Att Rom) that has these numbers.
Total Storage: 166.16mb (Free 164.27mb)
Total Program: 101.38mb (Free 75.28mb)
I am trying to make this Att rom as clean as possible. I have removed abosultly everything that I can. I have a few questions though as Im being kind of a perfectionist. When I load up my rom and go into the registry I can find traces of old programs that were removed from the rom (for example transcriber or sim manager registry keys) I have edited the proxml files and they are not the curlprit. I have checked the .RGU files and there is only two in the whole rom (one is boot.rgu and the other one has only one entry in it) I have also checked the initflashfiles.dat file and edited it but it doesnt have the registry keys I am looking for either. Where is the main part of the registry in these roms?
Another question I have is why the dsm files (when opened in a text editor) show other programs or files in them. I would like to delete the microphone, clear storage and key lock app or the TTY icon in the settings screen. I have found these files in the DSM files but they cant be deleted. Is there a way to edit the dsm files or are they updated when other changes are made?
Lets say I load the stock att rom on my phone and make changes to the registry (add or remove registry settings). Then if I dump the rom, will the registry changes be saved when I use the dumped rom in cooking a new rom?
Has anyone figured out a way to get the memory back when a memory card is placed into the phone? I would be around 79mb free program memory (before speed tweaks) if someone figures this out!
I will have a few more questions probably but I cant remember them right now. The rom I have made is working very well and is stable. I just want to make sure all of the trace files in the registry and other places are gone. Thanks for the help

All of the pros must be working on their own roms, look at how many have been updated! Someone must know the answer to a few of these questions. I dont mind doing the work I just need a few hints!

Default.hv and User.hv are the default and user registries where you will find the entries.

There's a app that does it in the general section under hacking IIRC search for build dsm that should bring it up.

Lets say I load the stock att rom on my phone and make changes to the registry (add or remove registry settings). Then if I dump the rom, will the registry changes be saved when I use the dumped rom in cooking a new rom?

Yes.

I beleave the answer to this is no... the dump you get is the unmodiffied ROM you have after flash it... all changes after this are not dumped.
Cheers.

Great info thanks guys

What program do you use to edit the default.hv and user.hv? Thanks again

You can not edit directly, you must convert from .HV format to REG (text) format using RGUCOMP.EXE (included in KaiserKitchen) to edit, and once edited, convert back to .HV with the same tool.
Code:
dump default.hv:
1. SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
2. RGUCOMP -o default.hv -nologo > default.txt
3. Add 'REGEDIT4' (first line)
4. Last line MUST be empty
5. Save as UNICODE
... edit the txt file ...
build default.hv:
1. rename default.txt to boot.rgu (same folder as RGUCOMP.exe)
2. SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
3. RGUCOMP -b
4. rename boot.hv to default.hv
Cheers.

Great info. I have cooked up a rom and I am having a hard time figuring out what is causing the screen delay in my registry settings. Does anyone know what setting is causing like the three second delay in the screen going from landscape to portrait? Thanks

SO if I understand you correctly.
I can open the files, edit in all of my reg edits (particularry the ones I can not export) and recompress it with RGUCOMP.EXE and cook my edits into my rom ?

Ok I tried this and finally figuted I have to do it from a command line.
WHen I do
1. SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
2. RGUCOMP -o default.hv -nologo > default.txt
I get fronm the txt file:
dump default.hv:
1. SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
2. RGUCOMP -o default.hv -nologo > default.txt
3. Add 'REGEDIT4' (first line)
4. Last line MUST be empty
5. Save as UNICODE
... edit the txt file ...
build default.hv:
1. rename default.txt to boot.rgu (same folder as RGUCOMP.exe)
2. SET _FLATRELEASEDIR=.
3. RGUCOMP -b
4. rename boot.hv to default.hv
obviously I am doing something wrong, but I have no idea what.

Help needed with Theme in Kaiser kitchen

Hey there ppl, im stil quite new here, I started today expirementing on the cooking, and got addicted, but im struggling to make the ROM automaticaly install on the first boot.. I can't even seem to get a new theme in, except for the HTC and Windows Mobile 6.1 Theme..
Any help will be greatly appreciated, I have searched a thousand times and only came on a thread thats been dead from 2005..
Regards

Hi,
Search your kitchen for files called config*.txt in the OEM folder. There might be more than 1.
In one of those you will see it setting a tsk file as the theme (hopefully).
If not then add a line such as
Code:
TSK: \WINDOWS\Htc.tsk
To one of the files.
If there is a line saying CFG: Config.txt then add the TSK command to the config.txt file.

Okay i see, but doesn't really help me, because I want my own theme to be configured, not the basic HTC one, and if you meant that I should replace the name, where do I throw the .tsk file in? in wich folder? Thanks

Just create a package to place your own tsk file into \Windows and replace the line in the config file.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, did like you told me and eventually got it just right
