[Q] EXT packages for Topaz - General Questions and Answers

Hi all!
I am actually trying to cook my first ROM for my Topaz, and I'm encountering several difficulties . Actually, my biggest problem for the moment is about the EXT packages.
First, I need to have something clarified : EXT packages depend on the device you are using, right? So for example, you can't use the same packages on both a TP2 and a Topaz.
Because then, I can't find the latest packages released for the Topaz, so what am I supposed to do to get them? How do the chefs do to find theirs?
Just for precision, I'm using visual osKitchen.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone knows anything that might help?

Hi Senax,
Thank you for your link! I found plenty of interesting and helpful information!
But I 'm still blocked, I couldn't find any recent EXT packages for the Topaz. Is there a place where they are uploaded and where I could download them? Or is there another way to find them?
The only package I have is the one I get when I imported the last official ROM from HTC, and oskitchen won't allow me to import cooked ROMs, I get an error... (which I actually find quite normal, it would be like copying the other chefs' work, and I don't want that either)
And from what is written on most chefs' ROMs presentation pages, I can see that my EXT package is already quite outdated.
Thanks again for your help.

I found some another links
I found some other links;
Topaz OEM & EXT Package Repository
CAB/OEM Package Converters
CAB2OEM
CAB to OEM to EXT GUI Suite
Package Creator
Also have a look here.
Hope this helps, have fun,
Senax

Okay, thanks again for your help Senax! I'll start my work with that.

Help with cooking with core kitchen

Well hardly cooking... All I want to be able to do is to take a base ROM that I like (core 2.0n vanilla or perhaps mfrazz's 1.7) and add the programs that I always install anyway. i figure this will make a hard reset easier if needed and give me a little more memory.
Okay... so I downloaded anchillius's rom kitchen and was able to follow all the directions he provided. I used his core 2.0n, which I have been running for a while but unless I am mistaken installing what I produced would basically be the same thing as installing it directly since it is vanilla anyway, right?
anyway I have a few questions...
1. If I dump a ROM like mfrazz's crossbow 1.7 and install that as is, will the reg tweaks that he made still be there?
2. Is there a readily available step by step on how to add programs. I tried google search and couldn't find anything. I know I am being lazy here but hoping that someone will help a brotha out! that and I am really quite busy at work (but not to busy to not be messing with my phone!)
I'm pretty sure that all the reg changes are the same, I cooked Crossbow 1.7 a little, and nothing changed (that I noticed).
And when u say programs, do u mean by cooking the programs into the ROM with cabs, cuz in this tutorial there is a way on how to install programs by cabs
P.S. While were talking about programs, how do I get the settings for a programs that have to register into a package of my cooked ROM? Is it something in the reg entries on my phone? If so, how do I find out what and how do I get it off of my phone and into the package?

Dopod and re-flashing help please!!

Hi, I have 3 questions:
1) I've looked around a lot, but can't seem to catch hold of a chinese language for my vox...Its called Dopod rom right?? Where can I get the files and instructions??
2) Does a ROM (when dumped) contain absolutely everything that is on the phone and if flashed on another phone will be a "duplicate" of original phone??
3) I've found the wiki on how to dump my rom, but how would I be able to re-flash it onto another phone??
Thanks guys
Wow somebody who actually read the Wiki before posting - nice
1.It's on the ftp. But look at the stuff that is written in the Wiki, about no Wifi and so on.
2.Nope it isn't it's only the operating system and all the software that comes with it! So no contacts or appointments or other files you put on. When you do a hard reset, you would see what all comes with the ROM! (but don't do it, it'll wipe all your data)!
3.You would have to put it into the kitchen and try to cook a new ROM out of the dump, but look around on the ftp first, there are a lot of shipped ROMs, yours is probably there too!
I can't seem to locate the Dopod wiki... But are there ANY ROMs that can handle chinese text without sacrificing the wifi function??
In terms of the shipped ROMs folder - I couldnt find my one and besides, I'd like to have one with all my programs on. So where can I find easy to follow (I'm a newbie on all this) instructions on cooking and creating a ROM??
(Is this thread the right one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066 ) ???
Thanks for your help

[Help!]A chinese user confused with rom cooking.

Recently I download a few tools from here and follow the introduce I tried to cook my first Kaiser ROM, although every thing got all right a lucky greenhand failed to brick his Kaiser, my new rom tell me "NO BLUETOOTH DEVICE DETECTED", I checked files "BlueTooth" and "BlueTooth_Lang_0804" and even replaced it with same files from other rom but it just simply do not work...
I'll be greatful if somebody can spare his time to help me.
BTW, I'm using 20273 Main OS.
BTW2, Please, make your words foreigner friendly.
Thanks all the same.
Why my post can't be seen from the list?
Where did the OEM part of your kitchen come from?
You can get a ready made 20270 kaiser kitchen from ppckitchen.org. Updating that to 20273 is trivial, or you can wait for ppckitchen.org to release it. Not much noticeable difference between 20273 and 20270, however.
A chinese Kaiser form, the developer just said his OEM was not well modified. So I'll have to wait...
Thanks for your attention.

[APP][01/05] Leo ezInput with Chinese support

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.

Kaiser Danish[21/03/10][WM 6.5 Build 23544][DK][Native kernel 85MB][Extendir]

This is my first ROM I'm releasing.
I have created a Danish WM6.5 ROM with 85 MB free ram
I have done everything I can to make it stable and fast. I'm using it myself and I'm very happy with it.
This ROM is based on the latest Danish stock ROM I could get hold of.
I have removed some of the stock programs, and have added the following programs:
Code:
Bluetooth notifier
Mortscript (Un-Installable)
The ROM is extendir enable. You can everything about extendir here
This ROM is created with ervius visual kitchen
I thank everyone that have made this possible.
If I'm distribution anything that I shouldn't or haven't mentioned any people that I should then please let me know. It is not out of respect of other people, it is simply because I either didn't realize that I have used some of their stuff or because I have forgotten.
To use this ROM you must have a storage card for the initial flash.
First you extract the contents of the lagerkort.7z to the root of the storage card, so that you end up with a folder called extendir with a few folders and one file inside.
If you want some cabs to be installed as part of the new flash then copy then to the extendir\setups\<sub folder>. only cabs that are in a sub folder in setups will appear. So make one and only one level under setups for the cabs. (they will not be installed automatic, you get to chose which you want to install, so all all you cabs if you want)
Then you flash the ROM and leave the storage card in for the first 2 boots.
on 1st boot after you have calibrated the screen the customization starts, WM looks awful here, don't worry about this, as this step will extract all of the missing WM files to to the extendir folder.
On 2 boot the preset installer will boot and you can chose a few extra cabs to install and the ones that you have added.
You can download the ROM from here:

You can download the extra package here:

Congratulation and wellcome new chef
I suggest you to include some pics because you will be ask for that
Cheers.
Thank you.

Danish rom with Manilla?
Would it be possible to create a version with Manilla? I would really love a danish rom with Manilla and HTC Weather...
Regards Ulrik
I possibly could create one.
But I recommend that you install Manilla after with a cab, or with zip files (in the extender folders) this should give the fastest rom. I can help create the scripts so that Manilla will install on first boot if you want?
hey man i can't get the hardware keyboard to input properly for æ, ø, å. I looked through your cabs but don't see a fix do you have one?
I tried this SkandinaviskTastatur5.CAB and XDA_JCEspi2005_Danish_Input_Kaiser.cab neither of which work. Let me know if you have a solution
I have a danish keyboard on my too, and the mappings are just fine on that one. So have no idea what could be wrong, unless there are more than one version of a danish keyboard. I access my æøå by FN and <UP><DOWN><UP> respectively.
I forgot to mention that I'm using a different rom to yours. Maybe you need a Danish WM 6.5 to get the hardware keyboard to work. If you could help me out in anyway that would be awesome cause it's a bit frustrating hunting around to find ? and stuff heh
Ahh that explains.....
I have no idea how to get the danish keys then. If I knew what to put in it I could create a CAB file for you, but I really have no idea what to put in to this cab...
I had the same problem when I used WWE roms, and never got it sorted.
@ Blindpet, try doing this:
Use a registry editor and change the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\Devicemap\Keybd\CurLang to 1044, this worked for me
I tried your ROM and overall its pretty good but i dont know if its my phone thats not set up properly but this rom have got a lot of screen lag though.
Anyway would be great with a proper danish rom for this great phone, keep up the good work
//KillerBee
EDIT: This solution doesnt work for me now.. I am not quite sure how you are supposed to change the HW keyboard language for a winmo 6.5 phone
