An effective and smart tool for rom makers

Forwarded from www.koxo.cn (Author: andot) and translated by Hanson ([email protected])
When you are cooking a WM5 or WM6 ROM for Tornado, the most troubling problem is that you cann't make a real lite rom since you cann't find an imagefs template with suitable size after removing some sh!t, or you may find the original imagefs is not big enough to cover the apps you added. The last issue is your cooked rom always has warning (TEST ONLY or whatever) over the splash screen in red, yes, I know we have got a way to remove the warning but it's still a little inconvenient.
Fortunately, an excellent Chinese rom maker has come up with a generic solution, please download the NBMaker first.
It's not an official tool from HTC, it's made by andot a chinese rom maker, so if you have any question or issue please send feedback to him, I don't think HTC will cover your question.
This tool is really easy to use, see screenshot as following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When you rebuilding the imagefs, you can see the Used Sectors, we set the above screenshot as an example:
Total Sectors: 0000
Used Sectors : dd6a
Free Sectors : ffff2296
Now fill in dd6a in the textbox Sectors, select a path for os.nb and select the system version, then click Make to make a os.nb. Then type code:
prepare_imgfs.exe os.nb -nosplit
to rebuild imgfs_raw_data.bin and imgfs_removed_data.bin
Then type code:
BuildImgfs.exe
make_imgfs.exe os.nb -nosplit
Then you can get the final os.nb, not more or less just suitable!
Then use nb2nbf_tornado.exe to make os.nbf, after flashing, you will find there is no TEST UI over the splash screen in red. Cooool, thanks andot for his great work.
BTW, you can download rom cooking tools from here, which is Vista compatible.

You can simply use tadzio's ImgfsTools2rc2b.zip . Tested & worked. I have ~19MB free on Storage on my Tornado (based on WM6 alpha without office and windows live)

What for so it is complex?
There is a program for Hermes - PagePool_Changer
With the help of this program it is very easy to change PagePool
I tried to change from 4Mb up to 16Mb, perfectly works with 82040000-OS.nb

Thank you, simple enough. Now can you help with:
I really like HTC Plus (Today Plug-in) V2.0 build 28938, it is working fine on my mogul. However, when I check the battery status on the quick launch menu then try it from the today screen the comm manager comes up. So, how can I redirect it to show the battery level? A step by step would be much appreciated. Thank you.

old tools (G'Reloc and WMReloc) do not work with 21140/21159.
.ROM and .VM have the greater size and Reallocation of modules it is impossible.
There is a way Reallocations of modules for new builds?

Use CeRegEditor to open user.hv and default.hv directly, you can export your dump from there.

ehh i haven't had kitchen while i was writing post.
i can see small revolution, guys, look at windows mobile black.tsk(inside of it).
system may be able to be skinned.
reg entries says so.

You are right. The wm6.5 tsk file is skinned to look transparent so if we use other tsk there is no transparent.
Best Regards

People, it now obviously that its true 6.5, I think... But it's realy importend that Alexx~ said: we havn't that bloody tools for relocate modules themselves - old ones CAN'T. So can't port...
I suggest to catch, the rom's author wharever he is, and ask what tools he've used... Or maybe someone knows?

he used manual reallocation

sorry for the ignorance...but this rom is supported by wizard?and how to flash???

Hello,
I tried to port to wizard but sucked at 3rd splash screen. When I replaced shell32.exe and shellres.dll, it worked fine but the graphic is worst.
Anyway, if I added chome, the device hangs after 2 - 3 sec at today screen.
Future thing I was unable to test because tomorrow I am releasing my next version of CR86 Touch HD and was very busy with its.
Best Regards

What's the matter with the close button ("x"). Is it drawed in MS Paint?
And, hell, the view is much worst then I thought...

I tried your cab and the manual way, but both are not working. I reseted my MDA compact V two times and also tried a different cab, made for Xperia.
My Start Menu still shows 3 rows, though there is an entry in the "startmenu_grid scene" that shows rows=4
Any Ideas?

I've got the same problem: tried the .cab and also copy and paste the two files to windows directory. Still have 3 rows....
My Rom is Udk R6 aswell, in german...

just installed it...and a I like it very much.
my question is, is it possible to change the background wallpaper. I have in all views the same wallpaper but now, after installing this cab, I have a different wallpaper for the menu...

Solution fpr 4/7 Row in Udk R6
just install the .cab from the first post of the page - for me it works fine

Comrades, as I understand it, then it is possible to collect ROM's Windows Mobile 6.5 for any smartphone, having only programs to build on your machine?
