Hello,
i'm new here. I come from the Sony Community. I getting in the next 2 Days my new TyTN II. So, now i've got some questions about making a own ROM. I have read so many Pages, but i can't find a easy step by step Howto. I would like to write a German dummy Step by Step HowTo. But i understand how it works... I would like to take some existing ROM's (expl. the ROM from Sleuth), but i would like to run a german version with my own Tools.
First of all, i would like to integrate a Tool like 'Where is my Phone' in actual German ROM File from HTC. See wimp-software.co.uk. So if somebody steal my Phone, i getting the new Phonenumber and the GPS Position Data with this Tool. I think, this Tool is very nice.
The problem with this tool is, when someone make a Hardreset, the Tool will be removed from the PDA. Now, i would like to integrate this Tool to a selfmade ROM.
Ok, i'm understand, that someone can build his own ROM and if he upload his ROM to the Smartphone, my Tool will be destroy. But this is a other problem.
Now, let me beginning. Which are the best steps to create this ROM based on a German ROM Release? I think there are 3 Ways.
1. Way: I install the newest original ROM from HTC to my Mobilephone. Then i install my Application like 'Where is my Phone' and i make my Reg. Tweaks (expl. GPS Camerafunction). After i have install all the good things, i make a Dump from my Mobile and i create a ROM from this Dump.?!
2. I install the newest German ROM Release to my PDA. I make a Dump. And i extract this Dump in my PC, so i can manually add the OEM Packages and Reg. Tweaks.
3. I search in the internet for a German actually ROM (System and Radio ROM). And i manually add the OEM Packages. and Reg. Tweaks.
Can you help me, and tell me, which version is the best for me? My Target is, when a new version from HTC will release, i can easy add my Tools to this ROM. But for this, i have to know, how it works.
With Sony Erricsson, there was some ROM Updates, which have some security issue. So with a ROM Version expl. higher than 1.90 you can't downgrade or make a selfmaking ROM. Is this possible with a HTC device? So i have every time to check, when a new Release goes Public, if i can make downgrades, changes and a selfmaking ROM? Or is this with the HTC device no problem?
So, which Version does exist?
I found the fellowing ROM Function:
SPL -> ???
SPLASH -> this looks like the Bootup Screenfile
RADIO -> this is the GSM Version
SYSTEM -> This looks like the OS
I hope some nice guys can help me, to make my own ROM Release. If it works, i would like a very easy Step by Step Manual in German, with pictures. So that every one can create his own ROM with his own language.
Hello,
Is it possibly to add one or 2 cabs to stock kaiser rom? My plan is to add remotetracker to my rom and leave the rest as is (including the spl if possible). This way I am always protected by remotetracker and sending back my device to htc for repairs (if that would be necessary) won't give trouble
Thanks in advance, peterrus

Blure question as if you cook this in you have a custom rom even using the stock so warranty is broken if you send it in for repairs. Other than that its just to make a package out of the cab isnt it?
Well, maybe HTC doesn't notice the device doesn't run a original ROM. Well I can make an OEM package, but I want to include it in the stock ROM. When I use a kitchen I get all kinds of stripped baseroms, which is something I rather not want.

You are kidding right? What do you exactly want here? Do you want it to be like if someone stole youre phone and perform a hard reset that the program is automaticly installed and you can trace it? Or just want to have the program installed if YOU hard reset? Or.. Just have the program installed..
wut
What I really want to know is: Can I add one or 2 files to a stock rom, repack it, and flash it.

Yes in diffrent set of ways, you can use package tools on the given cab to make a package to brew in or use XML whit a config operator and have the cab in ROM. There are other ways aswell, it depends on the ROM you are using and the prefered way you want todo this. Idk wich one I would recomend for you.. By making a package you can end up having trouble whit the cab, seting up operator you need to dig in a bit to learn. Read up on packages and search on config_operator setups and you will get there
Thanks, will do.
I have extracted and packed the ezinput files from WWE Asia ROM, which has Chinese input support. I did this in preparation for my custom ROM flash, since most, if not all, of the cooked ROM are based on Europe/UK WWE and therefore the cooked ezinput would not have the Chinese support.
I've yet to try this on any cooked ROM, so if anybody can try and see if this works I would be most appreciated
NOTE: I've taken down the CAB because it's not working so it's back to drawing board for me.

I've been looking for it for a long long time ago...
but i cant find any workable CAB of it.
so thats why i still keep my LEO as default 1.48 ROM..
and now, Thanks for your hard working,
I can try the newest 2.01 ROM.
I *think* I might have found the problem but I need to flash a custom ROM to test it. If anybody is game to try it on their custom ROM, please pm me your email address and I'll send you the CAB. The reason why I'm not publishing it here is because it might cause you to hard reset your phone if it didn't work out (as happen to one of the 'early adopter' user)

I'm looking for a RIGHT ROM to try.
I'll let your know when i'm ready.
ok, I'm trying a second time. The CAB can be downloaded from here
WARNING: uniinstalling this CAB might require your device to be hard reset. I suspect it's because of the default SIP being removed when the CAB is being uninstalled. But I don't have a custom ROM to test, so if you don't mind the risk, I would appreciate your help in testing.

I volunteer to try your cab, and report back soon!
I've tried it, but it didn't work. when inputting sms contact names, no name suggestions available. and the Pin Yin didn't work at all. And when I tried to uninstall and reset the device, the whole device couldn't boot, I was forced to hard reset my HD2.

I tried it on PDAVIET V05 28014
I can call it out but the hand writing does not show the line when you draw on the screen, when using the 筆畫 it just show the E T U D G instead of chinese.
ok so it looks like I really have to use a custom ROM to test myself, as my fear is that the existing registry in the pure english rom conflicts with the CAB.
this will take awhile unless somebody adventurous could trace the original ezinput registry and identify any potential conflict to the chinese input. (but doing so will also mean you will need to hard reset ur device after the troubleshooting)
Hi, zenkinz
Thanks for your effort.
Can you create a tutial or CAB for LEO custom ROMs (like Dutty's, Xanny's ......) to add Asia support? (just capable of viewing, not UI localized)
You can try to analyse the cabs from Lingvosoft, as they offer asia input keyboards.
I am using their Japanese Keyboard. This will show up the keyboard.
But the keyboard alone is not enough, you need copy a chinese font from your desktop windows to the windows\fonts folder on your Leo.
Then you will have to change the standard font in HTC manilla or Windows 6.5 if you want to be able to display the characters in the main applications (unless that application offers font selection).
I have attached the Chinese and Japanese keyboard cabs, as well as the Chinese font (ming true type font). Those are from the trial version of their translation suit, but I think the keyboards don't require a license (except for use in the translation application, then they get barred).

sorry to say that my voluntary offer ends there. The problem is if there is a problem, I cannot uninstall it and revert to previous state, and also, worse is, the entire rom couldn't start. I can't take too much trouble to try it unless it can be reverted easily.

thanks for the link. From the thread, it looks like the thread start has the same problem as us, I will read further to see what's the missing dll/registry.
I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to custom roms (done plenty of tweaks and hacks to the stock ones though). Anyhow, everyone's trying to convince to me to ditch stock altogether and a few have recommended that I try ROMKitchen.org.
Would anyone be so kind as to post a tutorial on what the best choices would be for a captivate in the US ? I'm sure the other noobs here will appreciated it too.
Specifically, I need help with choosing the:
Base ROM (what are the differences or advantages to one over the other)
CSC (I believe JH7 is the US country code, right?)
Kernel (same question as the Base ROM)
Modem (is there a specific one if I'm on AT&T or if that doesn't matter then what are the differences between them)
Apps (which version do I choose for the Swype Keyboard)
And if there's anything else from the other categories that you guys think I should include, I'll gladly take your suggestions. Thanks a lot!
All of the default settings in the kitchen are fine to use, for the theme though you should stick with the stock js5 theme, i ran into a boot loop bug a while ago not sure if it was fixed with non-stock themes.
@peachpuff
Thanks. Regarding swype, the default choice is to NOT install it. Do you have any idea which version I'm supposed to choose: JPA, JPO, JPU, or JPY? I try researching these things as much as possible before I post but I'm not finding a clear answer.
Couldn't I just save a copy the swype apk from my current installation and install it on the new rom? If so, do I need to copy over the corresponding odex file too or will that get created during the installation?
Hello,
I updated my HTC Trophy using Seven Eighter. While the update itself went fine, I've missed some language packs as my system menus won't open. The Office WP7 Updates thread is an excellent resource, but at this point I'm having trouble determining which language packs I actually need to push to the phone. I've seen Heathcliffs tool 'Version and Language by Heathcliff74.xap', but don't know how to get it to and run on my phone.
According to Zune (the only way I can seem to retrieve version info), my phone is at version 7.10 (8862).
I tried the Seven Eighter support tool, but it fails every time I attempt to send languages over. I tried just downloading and sending over every language cab update, but of course that failed as well.
Any tips/pointers/links someone can share to help me out?
Thanks,
Tim
What version was in your phone before you use Seven Eighter?
What is your current language?
many people reports problems after use seveneighter...
which ROM you have before use seveneighter?
dont have trophy but advice you to flash Dynamics v2.0 ROM for Trophy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523976
and use Zune to update from 8858 to 8862 (no need cabs files or others)...
with Dynamics ROM you have full unlocked phone and you can install XAP files
Thanks all. So I'm not sure what ROM I was on when I started Makes it much harder to troubleshoot.
Is it possible to download a full original ROM and flash that? The Dynamics ROM looks cool, but I would like to avoid going down the HSPL route (If possible).
Do I just need to get all English language packs up to my current ROM version to load for menu functionality, or do I need all languages loaded? I've had some luck getting a few English packs to load. Very tedious though.
Tim
why to avoid HSPL? you not loose anything (always you can go back to original SPL) and with HSPL and custom ROM you have unlimited possibilities and you can do almost anything...
with original ROM you can forget to add language or do any other things...
