Making rom's - General Questions and Answers

Can anybody give me a guide to get started ?
would really appreciate the help thx

What device are you trying to cook for?
You may want to get started by downloading a kitchen for your device. I recommend PPCKitchen since it is really easy to use and it comprehends a lot of the newer devices. Good luck!

its a rare device the samsung c6625, does the kitchen work for that ?

i dont think there is a kitchen out for that :/

I really doubt it.
Can this device use custom roms? (can it be unlocked)?

well im not really sure there doesnt seem to be any roms out for it. Its very similar for the black jack 2...almost identical specs

If it isn't unlockable, you may want to stay away from flashing or attempting to do anything to the device if you do not know what you are doing. You can seriously damage your device or completely brick it.

yhh good point XD i just whish samsung didnt release a phone with 6.1 just before 6.5 came out

Comparing MB ROM and Faria's New ROM

Can anyone compare these 2 ROMs?
I am not sure if this thread was necessary, but i am pretty sure there are others out there just like me, who are very picky or maybe i should say very confiused about upgrading every other week, installing everything all over again and once everything is perfect and stable, doing everything all over again because there is a new ROM cooked..
Much Respect to Faria and Other ROM cookers out there.. I dont mean to disrespect to your great work.. I just want to know if we should wait, or go with the new ROM.. I am pretty sure you great cookers will come up with new ROMs..
Thank you and once again, dont mean to disrespect.. Just curious..

If the MB works fine for you, you don't need to upgrade to another ROM. The Faria's ROM was release for less than 12 hours, people need more times to install programs and check out all of the pro and con.
MB was based on the beta WM6 ROM.
Faria was a new possibly real/final ROM according to him.
Backup your programs using any good backup programs and try the new ROM. If you don't like Faria's ROM, reload the MB ROM and run your backup, it will take less than 15 minutes. Only you can tell if it's good for you or not.

Just looking at the listing of whats in that ROM, it looks bloated. I like the cleanness of the MB rom. Ill wait for him to release the vanilla rom before trying it out. I perfer to choose my own apps to load. most of that other stuff i rarely use, why waste the ram and flash space for it.
Faria makes good ROMs. I just perfer mine to be clean, so i can make my own choices.

If you don't like waiting, just unpack it and remove them yourself. It's very easy using the guide in Molksi's website

That is something I would like to try doing one of these days. I just havent had the free time.
That will be my next step, trying to make my own custom ROMs.
Yes, I was am waiting as well to see the "vanilla" version of his rom so it doesn't have all those extra programs that I don't use anyway. I don't like that he stripped pieces from the rom either (like VOIP even though it's not working.... yet)
My MB Edition works so good for me now I will wait til all the bugs are worked out and patches posted before I try Faria's latest.

or you could simple do your own! as for voip it does not work because ther is no service for it plus the app is imcomplete in all wm6 roms ..so whats the point of having it?
I don't think it's incomplete... well, not totally.. I believe we just need to figure out what will trigger the menu options for it. Well, no one knew the VOIP button was in the comm manager until I tried to add it just for the hell of it. I am sure there are lots to be discovered about it if we had enough people trying things.

it is incomplete I'm told and like i said there is no services that supports as yet....
the gurus been at it for ages and this are their conclusions 9at the moment],i Even supplied missing files from Roms that i have, this is supposed to work in future with some carriers.....but if you can make it work then you will be remembered for ieternity . all thought i have a new crossbow rom to test it may be working. for me skype does the job.

Thanks for your input. I am assuming your rom is straight from HTC or from someone you know at HTC? Is this "new" rom different from the one you uploaded yesterday that you had for a year? What is the date on it?

but i cant tell you this....when i release a project that means i allredy got the next one halfway done or finished.
ok, will you at least say if this next "newer" version will be for (or was specifically designed for) the wizard?
As ive read too many bugs for me
Hello m8s. I rather wait for a more stable version. It look like that latest ROM is packed a with a new set of bugs. (No offense faria).
When is the release of the actual WM6??

One bug - When the Wizard is in Standby mode and set to vibrate, it does not vibrate on new e-mails received. It worked correctly in the 2.26 ROM I was using previously, but didn't work in the 1.18 ROM that was on the device when I first got it. Looks like the behavior is back to the way it was in the early WM5 ROMs. I get the feeling this is deeper than just a tweak to the registry, but would happily be corrected.
As for the "feature" aspect, I think Microsoft refers to them as "opportunities for developers".

wrong... you comparing 2 totaly diferent roms... and again this is in all crossbow roms...so how do you call it a bug in my rom?
i fact this thread should not exist because there is no other roms that can be compared to?
if you people want to compare o slag anyones work at least make sure that the 2 roms have the same core, dont you think?

Hey Guys

Great looking forum here and great to see all the people offering so much support. Had my Wizard for about a year and now its out of warranty I thought i'd have a play . Theres obviously a few tutorials to follow before flashing a ROM, but i was just going to say, I regularly get Connection Error while trying to flash other ROM's onto this phone. I tried to flash Schaps WM6 ROM to it, but it said connection error. However I have sucessfully flashed the T-mobile 2.26 ROM twice, therefore I am not sure if its the phone or the rom or what. Do you reckon if i follow those tutorials it will sort the connection error issue, or is that a problem with my PC. I have a few WM6 on my PC, crossbow, helmi, etc etc, so i was wondering which you recommend etc. Thanks very much, hopefully ill be able to input something when i learn a bit more
follow the tutorials,
be sure you are cid /sim unlock
only flash roms found in the wizard forum, not on other devices forum, roms are device specific
happy flashing

Schaps rom is for HERMES
If you want to brick your PDA, then be bold and try roms designed for other devices, but you will certainly BRICK IT
If you have a HTC Wizard then, just like the man before me said, do the following :
Find out if your device is a G3 or a G4
If it's a G3 CID Unlock it (not same as SIM Unlock !!!). If it's a G4, then check the G4 Forum to see what you can do.
Choose a rom that you like most but make sure that it's designed for WIZARD, so i suggest only search in the Wizard forum.
check here:

Ah right, thanks for that guys, im very glad i didnt flash it with a other ROM now. I certainly don't want to brick it, although it is insured for a while so i could happen to drop it haha
Are there any ROMs you can recommend to me . I am always up for trying them
ok, i think ive CID Unlocked my phone now. Dropped it to Button 1.05 did the lokiwiz bat then dropped it again to bring my SPL down. Ive just put on the t-mobile 2.21 ROM, now am I ready to upgrade to WM6? or do i need to put 2.26 on? Cheers

That is a ROM Kitchen that has pretty much every option you could want in it! Very stable base, and many many options. and if you have any questions, they have probably already been answered in that thread, and if not, "theloon"(the creator) will answer them for ya. Right now its one of the best IMO, and especially for what you are looking for.

hi
As u have still not flashed any wm6 roms as yet, I wud rather suggest first flash and install a couple of cooked roms from others,just to have the feel of them and get used to the newer features added in them. Only when u get urself comfortable with them and understand their working,and above all r successful in flashing roms,inly then start thinking about cooking ur own rom.
There r a couple of very fantastic build Roms by excellent cookers here in this Forum u can start off with e.g
faria's "The real thing Rom",
Mfraaz " Xm6r3"
it's right " Tnt 5 or his Latest Professional+HTC Home"
Xplorer1.1 etc etc
They r all cooked for Wizards specifically.Just search the forum or hit the 'SEARCH' button above,
Welcome to the Flashing lunatics Forum
Happy Flashing
Just put on WM6 TNT1437 and am really impressed. Didnt take long to flash and didnt have any problems with it hanging Runs like a beast, dead quick and I am really impressed with this whole cube thing it seems a bit of useless fun hehe . although there is like a red, yellow and green line at the top of the screen. is that normal?
Okay, I feel a fool Thats the battery meter haha This is great. Its dead fast and runs a lot smoother. I think i am going to like this whole cooking your own Windows thing
Thanks

Glade to hear,that u have upgraded and enjoying it
it's a whole new experience.
If u don't feel comfortable with TouchFLO and the cube,than I'll suggest u flash the other equally excellent Professional + HTC Home Rom,u'll even like it much better.
If u dont want multicolor battery bar(comes by default) at the top,u can disable by open WinXplore then startup folder and remove battery level.lnk (you can use file explorer on the folder windows/startup)

Done and I like Now i want to cook my own ROM's make my own skins and get voIP on

Rather than starting a new thread ill ask in this one, has anyone got Farias Camera cab Cheers

it all depends.. it's all personal preference.
Best way to decide is just to try it all out yourself.
Dutty's is most popular for the most part. Radio depends on your area etc.
I can't believe you have 150 posts and post a question like that. You should know already that everyone has their own opinion on what is the best rom. I will let you know that Dutty seems to be the most popular roms, but I don't use any of his roms cause I cook my own.
Just giving you a heads up on these forums. We have a lot of new people in here and a lot of these new people ask the same questions as you did.
i noticed that the radio performance varries by area also?
the best rom, which came bundled with the best radio, was removed from the Internet by HTC.
It had full dual core utilization, 3d drivers, multi-touch capability, flash 3, and ran Mac OSX.
I think it was called you_should_know_better v1.24.2234

dutty seem to develope the most popular. Its stable and there are several different versions. the WIKI's here are very good. I suggest you read and study and try some different ROM's and decide for yourself.
Sorry for the dumb question. Just got the Kaiser to try out for a few days only and am travelling. Just don't have the time to really evaluate the phone (not an excuse really). Have to return it if I don't like it. Hence the question to get the best feel. If I had more time with the phone, I would try them all.

Travelling - RETURN IT?
You are travelling and willing to mess with your phone - you have GUTS man!
You know that if you mess with the phone you will most likely NOT be able to return it without putting it back to the shape it was in BEFORE you hosed with it?
All of that from someone who sounds like he has not done this before?
Whew - I am not worthy!

Hey there,
Kool no probs, the vogue is a reasonably old device and as such doesnt have a huge amount of memory.
Running the apps you mention will use a lot of memory esp if you have some other apps open.
If i were you, i would wonder over to the vogue section, do some reading to understand how to flash a cooked rom on ur fone.
Using a cooked lite rom will release some memory and will depending on the rom will give u a much newer interface to use, rather than the old touchflo.
Just make sure you do a bit of reading first so u dont end up bricking ur device
Greetz and have fun.
i have researched a lot about putting roms in phones but im still not confident enough and worried about bricking it, i wish there was a video on this website b/c ive seen only one on the internet and it wasnt too specific.
One last question what else can i do if i decide not to take the risk with the rom is there other software? i know that htc home coustimzer is one option.
sorry but forgot i got one more question, if i put a micro sd memory card would that also solve the proglem?

Yes u can use that to change the appearance of htc home, you can do quite a lot with that, like colours etc.
If you delve into ur device a little, you can find the pic files for the clock and change them so they look like the touchflo3d clock (just wont flip)
Dont worry, spend your time reading, it is acutally quite simple to hardspl and flash, just the first time is kinda scary lol.
okay man thanks a lot.

MyTouch Fender/1.2 ROMs (3.5mm jack)

Alright so it's been a couple of weeks and anyone can see that the Nexus is casting a shadow over the new MyTouch so it's probably not going to get much attention from Cyanogen. We can still use his roms however we lose touchscreen support. Actually, we can use pretty much any rom as the old MT3G and G1 can use but we can't use the touchscreen.
What I've tried was pulling the /system/usr directory, flashing a CM rom and pushing the directory back but it still didn't make any difference.
I've tried flashing the Cyanogen ROM then flash the boot.img from the Fender ROM but I forgot that the current SPL (1.33.0013) is locked. Another obstacle. So I replaced the boot.img in the CM rom with the Fender and of course it didn't work. I'm out of ideas... but I'm far from being a dev. But there are a lot of you smart guys out there. Has anyone broken any ground on these devices? Now that the original MyTouch is obsolete it's only a matter of time that the popularity of this device will grow since the MyTouch (original) is more popular that the G1 to date.
In conclusion I see two options from here:
We cook a custom MT3G 1.2 ROM from source (whereever that could be found).
We work together to discover a workaround for this touchscreen issue to allow us to use CM ROMs (perferred).
So far the only ROM for the new MT3G 1.2/Fender is an odexed stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623141 (thanks CursorDroid) and the only method of rooting is by goldcard methoddiscovered by Crypysmoker.
If there are any others can you please post them.
I would really like to see the development for this device take off and I'm sure that it will eventually. Themes, kernal mods, custom roms, tethering, overclocking, a2sd, etc and I'm sure that I'm not alone.
Thanks.
I would love to see this phone get some attention. I call it my poor mans nexus
Has anyone tried adb pulling the touchscreen kernel module from stock and inserting it into a modded ROM to see if it even loads?
/system/lib/modules only has wlan.ko
It looks like the driver might be tied to the kernel so a new kernel is needed

LMAO!! Even though I don't have one and don't intend to get one cause I'm satisfied with my original MyTouch, ROM development is always encouraged. the more ROMs, the better!

Unfortunately, the more ROMs the more confusion.
Now that we have two different MyTouch verions (not including the 32a/32b for the original) this is going to get VERY confusing. It already is. Even if you use "1.2" people are going to wonder if that's the ROM version or the phone version. Maybe MT3G2 or something.

And thus we need a dev. LOL. Unless someone can tell us what controls the touchscreen input. That might give us a step in the right direction.
I'm still hoping for Cyanogen ROMs on the Mytouch 1.2.
Lol since im the one who even discovered the pain staking rooting process ... omg such a pain... I felt the need to comment.
I just today started using my fender over my G1 because Criffmon (however the hell you spell it) came out with the themed stock rom. It looks perfect.
But the reason for no rom yet is the kernel tied into the new touchscreen drivers and 3.5mm jack. There is a whole new touchscreen which is why it doesnt work when u load other roms.

Yeah that's the rom that I used too... maybe i got my links confused.
That rom is odexed. I managed to de-odex the apps but I can't figure out the framework. I would like to add things like the modified browsers, dialer, contacts, mms app, etc. But I am unsure if it can be done because of the odex.

...I just today started using my fender over my G1 because Criffmon (however the hell you spell it) came out with the themed stock rom. It looks perfect...

wow that looks sweet!!!...
So according to tmonews the MyTouch 1.2 is sold out and anyone interested will have to wait until this Spring to pick theirs up.
Then I noticed an interesting tweet from Haykuro:
"just realized something. The Nexus One and the N900 are amazing phones and a whole bunch of people have it but you NEVER see anyone with it."
So let's get this straight... the newest MyTouch is sold out and all of the devs (like Cyanogen) are rushing to develop firmware for a device that isn't anywhere near as popular. Meanwhile... what has been accomplished with the new MyTouch?
What's wrong with this picture???
Has anyone made any progress at all lately?
there's loads of things wrong with that. but sadly when your a gifted developer you have the right to develop for whatever device you want, even if loads of people won't be using it.

I understand all that but my point is out of the hundred of thousands of devices sold there isn't ONE person out there that tried to develop a rom for it and share it? There are over two dozen people (at LEAST) in this forum that has the phone and not one of them possess the skills to at least figure out how to use a CM rom on the device? Really? Why is that so hard for me to believe?
I'm not saying that I can do better because I know that I can't... but I also don't have any coding experience either. It would appear that all the T-Mobile customers with coding experiences decided NOT to buy this device for some reason. Or they decided to buy it... but not try to improve on it in any way.
You know that if Haykuro or Cyanogen had the phone we'd be on the twelfth rom version by now. C'mon devs! I'm still using my G1 if I want to show off the power of Android. I want to retire this device already.

No no.. You have it a bit wrong. Wes and Ctso were/have been working on it trying to get the kernel into Open eclair.
The main problem is those 3 drivers we need for the touch screen and 3.5 jack seem to be a super pain in the ass to extract from the current kernel to push into another or build a new one all together. Basically, the drivers can be seen, but not used.
ALL 32a roms will boot on the fender/mytouch 1.2, I have tried literally 10 pages of them.... Bu the moment it looks for a touch screen, all it sees is the track ball and defaults to it. YOu can fully run other roms, but you cant touch. They are trying lol, But were basicly gona have to deal with criffmon's themes for now since 2.1 will be on us in the next few weeks. Supposedly, we are getting the full 2.1 since these are 32a boards.
People are trying, But think of this as a first, NEW release in a long while.
I mean hell, it took me 3 days just to figure out how to root it, when the nexus 1 took maybe a few hours with ways already known.
It will come, be patient. The moment I get a working kernel I will let everyone know.
Hey Crypysmoker!!! Thanks for all the hard work on this!
It's good to know there are people working on this device.
