Help needed with Theme in Kaiser kitchen - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

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

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

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.

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.

PROVXML question in OEM Folder Cooking!!!

Ok, I am going absolutely crazy here...I am no noob to cooking but I am having a horrible time for some reason. First let me set up the ROM for you...
I am running CE OS 707 WWE ported with Build 19965 (Raphael) and it is working fine. I have always made a provxml file to make my necessary registry changes instead of going through all the rgu's.
I have named this provxml file mxipupdate_oemoperators_108.provxml which I have attached for reference... This file is placed into the OperatorPKG folder and should, I say should run along with the other mxiupdate files...
Please look at this file and please explain why it is not happening. THe only thing I am thinking is that the ported SYS folder is causing some errors???
THanks in advance.
The file was made using rgutoXML in Unicode with wordwrap turned off
I have also tried running the file, converted to a xml file in my user customizations when it starts but still a no go...
Check youre sys if you got coldinit.lnk/coldinit.exe present.
My config_operator.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
XML: \WINDOWS\mxipupdate_dialer_runback.provxml
TSK: \WINDOWS\IBI.tsk
XML: \WINDOWS\Menu_Operation.xml
CAB: \WINDOWS\PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_WWE-0409.CAB
XML: \WINDOWS\xml_reg.provxml
CAB: \WINDOWS\Raiisak`s IBI visual.cab
CFG: \Windows\config_PT.txt
config_operator.txt & xml.reg.provxml in C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OperatorPKG
xml.reg.provxml is where I have some of my reg stuff.
Yeah both those files are present in the SYS\Shell folder...
See whats confusing me about the whole thing is that the other ProvXML files in the OperatorPKG are working???? So I am assuming it might be something to do with the file.???

Wel, I poped it open to see if you had "Registry" present twice wich would make a error but it seemed good to me so its something that makes it not run. Try to set it up like I did above and give it a spin. Letme know if it worked.
Well that was a NO go so I am going to see if it has too do with the SYS files.... possible causing the error , I am not too sure...Very dumbfounded right now
Just for additional info.
To make *.provxml to be loaded on cold-boot, the said file must exist is any *.dsm.
Hope this help
And please check ur file, there were some errors in it & will be bypassed during cold-boot
Here some hints:
-check ur header
-remove semicolon or use html code
-check ur HKLM & "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

Ah, yes. Didnt think of that.... Yet look for it ..
Ok I'm dying over here...what is the error please???? And by placing the *.provxml file into the OperatorPKG file isn't a DSM file attached to it???
I made sure any settings were not duplicated on a newer version...and by the way I tried to change the Coldinit files back to the original but no go either...I am trying a different SYS now
i think u missed my previous edited post
What do you mean by "Check my header"....
It says version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" I know.... do you mean I have to change the source file (text file) to unicode to get rid of this???
Basically if I open the file, click on View Source it opens in a notepad format...Should I save the file as *.provxml in Unicode??? because when I look at all the files that ATT puts out, once I change these files it makes them have the same header....
I also looked at raiisak xml.reg.provxml file and it too has the same header???
Ok I have attached my newest version of the Provxml...the header is gone as I changed the file type to Unicode and saved....
Also I have removed all the different HKLM files to the same and got rid of the ";" but it appears it is still not working???
I have the file named mxipupdate_oemoperators_108.provxml and it is set to run in the OperatorPKG file which has all the files the same up to 107....

For one time I prolly didnt use XML Notepad And I saw in EditPad

so can someone please help me here....I am just asking what I am doing wrong...I have search the file, looked a hundreds of provxml files and still can not understand why this is not working???
ryn, for me, the header is not mandatory, it is ok, but will give error if u use some xml compiler.
here my attached edited file & u can compare with yours.
Hope this helps

This is what hang tried to explain.
I already changed the HKLM and the ";" problems...the translation=filesystem I did not change.....what would it be changed too???
have u compared ur with mine mate
and please test it can work or not | sorry i cant test it
I have compared yours with mine...
I am seeing you took out the translation section which I had done before...I am going to try and load yours in a rom...just trying to find a program that I can use instead of burning the rom completely over..
i dont think having translation section is problem. i'm also using a provxml that i created for myself, it has the provxml section in it and it does work properly. what i suspect is integer" value="0.0 sec". if it is integer, shouldn't it be integer" value="0" ?

Adding some Apps to a ROM ?

Hi!
After a lot of flashing and reading I became sure, that there are a lot of great ROMS out there, but not the excatly one I would like to get
Well so I tried the JustMe kitchen and everything works well. Now I came to the point to add own applications to the ROM, so I created some OEm folders with Packagescreator, just like explained in the wiki.
now comes my problem: Most of them don't work...
When I want to use them in BuilOS form JustMe kitchen, I get different errors:
e.g. "the setup.dll is already at temp\dump\ and the process stops.
Now I want to learn what can I do if I have some files needed for more than one application? Would be great to hear from someone who would like to help a new "cook" (well, it's just editing a rom) with this problem!
Thanks
ruebyi
You can just delete the extra setup.dll files in the OEM folder.
Hi! Thanks ivan!
So all files I have too often I can delete from one of the OEM packages? that helps a lot!
But now I get the next error:
The target File \temp\dump\gx.dll is not a file but a folder (translated from the German error warning)
What means that? It is a *.dll file in the OEM folder of MortPlayer AND there is a folder called gx.dll in the temp\dump\
Any chance to "fix" this?
I uploaded the OEM folder I want to integrate in JustMe

It is one of the duplicate error you have earlier. One of them is in package format and the other is in binary format. You can delete the one in your OEM.
To comment on your original post. All the packages converted by oem package converter works. Only you need to look at the files that will be processed after the installation. For example, when installed, some files will be copied into /Program Files/my_program folder. In order to do this in OEM package, try to find out what files need to be moved manually and copy them using initflashfiles.txt in your OEM package. Hope this help and enjoy cooking!

Now I was able to build the *.nbh, but after flashing the Mortplayer can't find it's MotImg.dll. this *dll is not located in the OEM folder and is not listed in the initflashfiles.txt I'm really confused at the moment!
I didn't find a tutorial on this kind of problem! Was I to stupid to search, or is there none? Would really like to see one, so I don't have to bother you for every little probelm

Were you able to install and run successfully with the original .exe in the same rom? What I usually do in converting to OEM packages is that check the rgu generated by OEM converter, then look at all the references, either change all the pathes to /windows/ or fix them in the initflashfiles.txt. Maybe if you can attach the original, I can take a look. I am kind of busy to search around for the apps you a trying to convert.

I managed to do it with TCPMP 8.1, HomeScreen++, Nodata, Minimal dialer
What I "need"/want to add:
MortPlayer
MortScript
After that I would like to integrate my own skins for some of these apps, but this, I hope, will be easier...
I was not able to upload the files, don't know why, so I give you here the Links:
MortScript

Where are the files ?

Hi guys, I have this ambition to change the symbols in call history with ones that are colored.
I know that for this some Manila files should be changed, but I don't know where to start the search and what exactly to look for, so any advises would be more than appreciated. thanks
Hi there, files you're looking for are into windows directory, unfortunatly are marked as "read only" and the easiest way to replace them using Resco Explorer. Althought you can find .cab file here here.
Installing this you can keep original files into backup folder end restore when needed.
Bye
The cab is also on XDA forum but it replace the icons on phone menu not in the history...so I assume that the file for history is another one...this file I'm looking for but don't know how to find it...
You have to find and change some graphic file in windows directory. I'm using dutty's R5 so can't help you better.
Those files are located in phcanOverbmp.dll

Cause i cant copy the shellres.dll from my device to my pc "cant copy....." i tryed this with totalcommander :-(
Hey mate
good job Thank you
Very Basic Question
Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...
Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?
So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?
If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

Some Manila files are only graphics (called QTC) others are Luascripts and Mode9 (what you call code).
The tool described above will help you for the graphics

Which manila file is responsilbe for the day format in the weather tab?
copy your manila files in a folder on your pc and scan the folder with this
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464984 (remove the space before the : to get the link to work) and it'll give you the name of the files and therefore their functionality
I figured out that it is 308671e5_manila.
I edited the file to the desired format but it doesn't change in the weather tab.
Any idea?
