Manila2D Extracted

Here audio manager, work fine on trinity along with Manila2D ;o)
Joined a newer version of HTC Shared DLL
----------------- Update ------------------------------------------------
Oops the Audio Manager Cab contain only french mui, so here a 0409 one, copy it in /windows...
The Cab is UPDATED also... sorry guy

are you tested this cab manilla2D? please

so this works on the music page???

this didn't work for me, after installing the library would work but it wouldn't play anything and just froze. I have the older version of audio manager which plays music just doesn't show the playlist or now playing info.

+1 no working for me

It's working on my trinity
Audio manager is linked to Shared Dll, so may be that's the problem, as I use myself build ROM, i include this updated DLL, I join here a cab, but not sure it gonna work as those dll are problably cooked in your rom so...

yes, you are true.....
done, at first post, follow the link to download newest version with check for new packages inside

how does this handle modules in the same folder? I just try it, and it place it outside of the files folder. so i am not sure how that would work or not. I didnt build yet because I have no time to test right now. but curious to know this.
also any plans on making a GUI kitchen off Bepe latest? Would love to see it, with you all packages to one trick you have in there.

I was just about to say the same thing
When you try to build in that way(with the modules outside the "files" folder) the modules are excluded from the rom...
No problem though, I just recmoded the modules and it's ok,
but I'm sure ervius is somewhere around with a new version lol

Could someone upload this util - seems that ervius page is gone ...

Topaz Magic 8 Ball Question.

Hi guys,
I have a question about the Magic 8 Ball that was extracted from Topaz. Does it require NET CF 3.5 to run it? Currently, I've just downloaded the files in that post and extracted them to my microSD card. When I try double clicking on the .exe file, nothing happens. Is that an indication that NET CF 3.5 is required?
My THD still only has NET CF 2.0 on it. Haven't figured out how to properly uninstall NET CF 2.0 and replace it with NET CF 3.5 on it yet.
Cheers.

As far as I know Net Framework is not the issue, you are missing some other libraries, which are included in the Topaz ROM.
Btw: You can run both NET CF 2.0 as well as version 3.5!

John,
Thank you for the prompt response. Are these just .dll files that must be in the same folder? Or has the .exe file been written to detect these .dll files to be in the Windows folder?
It'd be great if I could just have all the files in the same Magic 8 Ball folder and run it off by simply starting the .exe .
Cheers.

here is the cab file for you to install it. I would install .net 3.5 as well to be sure

David,
Thank you very much for that. Before I install it, I have a quick question, is this the version which requires the newer Manila? Because I'm still using stock ROM and I don't have the newer manila yet. :lol:
I still haven't grown a pair to start flashing the device yet.
Cheers.

is this the magic 8 ball that you get an answer when you shake your phone?

@Poisonwolf - Not sure as i am using Duttys Custom ROM but is dont see why it would not work on any WM phone with Gsensor.
@Brusko1972 - Yes

Polaris chef's corner (POLA100)

As reg66 said the other day we are a few people cooking ROMs for the Polaris but there is not such a chef corner in the polaris forum. So I propose this thread to exchange techniques, tools, etc.
Anyway I will use this thread as my own cooking repository and share as I learn myself. Feel free to contribute but please keep the posts ontopic. Most of it will be about cooking with 6.1 kernel for QVGA devices.
this 1st post is updated with the relevant information up to post 39 (take me there)
the 2nd post is about non solved specific questions in case one cooker can help another 5 (take me there)
Radios:
Please feel free to report radios tested to run on the Polaris (or links to compendiums)
Which radio to use? depends on the drivers you use...
Kitchens:
Please feel free to report kitchens and sys tested to run on the Polaris (or links to compendiums). Kitchens available are basically three: Ervius Visual Kitchen, Ondraster kitchen (two versions: old and new UI) and traditional kitchens (simply cmd scripts and exe tools, maybe someone wants to share a polaris non visual kitchen). Most of the kitchens come with mega packages, some others come naked or with leo packages. Choose the one that best suits you.
Gullum EVK's Kitchen wm6.5 23016. My first kitchen, I love it. Mega based
Amenatis EVK's Kitchen wm6.5 21891/28008 040C and almost 0409 Very refined kitchen, not only cabs and packages but a very well implemented OEM and Registry. Leo Based
osKitchen NEW UI v1.25 - Easy Visual Kitchen I tested and has easy startup tweaks and splash integration and very good description of packates.
TranMinhMan EVK's Kitchen WM6.5 with MANILA 2.0 at PDAVIET Requires registration. File password: TranMinhMan. See post 7 for direct links to the 3 parts of the file
TomAngel Ondraster's Kitchen wm6.5 builds 23088, 23518, 28008 and 28205 Includes both 6.1 and 6.5 kernel and is Multilanguage (check the thread also to learn how to use the wm6.5 kernel and seems to be working. It works nicely in my ROMs that seem to work better (as if it had a higher PP). There is not consensus on the performance improvement however. The main advantage is to avoid recmoding, since performance it is not so much affected and depends more on drivers. I personally believe recmodded apps open slower but there is no big science behind this thought. Check TomAngel's post for details).
niax kitchen wm6.5.X (by Nikkito) Spanish kitchen at htcmania.com forum - the forum is in spanish, look for a mediafire link in the first post - does not require registration to access the kitchen.
vistang's kitchen (did not manage myself)
Cooking takes lots of time. Be sure you backup your kitchen whenever you have consolidated a bunch of improvements. Sometimes files may get corrupted or if you change many things at a time, it may be difficult to go back to previous situation and also to fix the errors. Therefore, even if it is a pain, I recommned to zip the whole kitchen from time to time.
Another good practice is to keep a second folder with your kitchen tools, in case you have to restore the whole kitchen from scratch.
Kitchen Tools and Scripts:
I have the pleasure to introduce my collection of tools, ready to use with Ervius Visual Kitchen (and I guess, easy to adapt for other kitchens). Please check this post
Batch Recmoding (please donate to xtep): With this tool you can recmod automatically only the modules you want to, since recmodding everything will deliver a slower/bigger ROM (working on windows vista, includes instructions on how to use)
Tools for importing SYS into VK and auto recmod (please donate to xtep)
Dump sorter for the rollup´s of eg Da_G new releases thread
Create a custom splashscreen (steps 1 to 4) and add it manually (rest of steps)...or...automatically when generating the ROM
Pagepool changer (external, do not know if it is the one used in EVK)
Edit hv files
NBHextract (by pof): Extract contents from NBH files
Itsme amazing tools There is a wiki explaining it. Here in this post you will find some hints on how to use
Kitchen tools collection at mobileunderground (requires registration) Apps that can be downloaded (I will delete the reference of those taken from xda as I replace by links):
Sqeezer (Compress .exe files to save space and speed up programs) / rgu-2-xml (Converts .rgu to .xml to create provxml files) / reshack (open .dll and .exe files to replace icons) / OEM version checker (check the version of your oems in kitchen on in device) / SYS version (find the sys version of your sys packages) / ThemeGenCE (use to create 6.1 themes, may work for 6.5 too -- not sure) / Manila Editor (Edit Manila Files) / CFC - (Chainfire's Manila tool to compress, decompress, and edit manila files) / MakeCAB (Window's free tool to make cab files) / NBH Tool - Dutty's tool for convertint to,from .nb,.nbh /

Resource (.DLL, .EXE, etc.) ( Dependency Walker / Resource Hacker)
Search/Comparison/File Managers (Beyond Compare / Compare It / Directory Opus)
WM6.5 ROMs:
1. Flash SPL: This great tool basically makes safe to flash Custom Roms. Additionally, procedures are well known and available to restore original SPL and ROM in case you need to send your device to a technical service without loosing guaranty.
2. Flash Original ROM (recommended by most chefs, mandatory if you observe inestability issues when flashing a custom ROM
3. Install your favourite custom ROM (most chefs recommend hard reset after flashing)- Some people recommend to removed sd card. I have long been doing the opposite flashing from the SD Card.
Please feel free to report ROM's links or compendium of ROM Links. The only requirement is to add a description of the basic attributes (preferably by the author of the ROM). ROMs do not include radio unless specified, follow the link to see the author's original thread.

Please, post your reference wm6.5 ROM in other languages
You are an end user? Which rom is the best? This depends on your needs. There is some posts about user experiences in this thread and of course on the ROM threads themselves. My advice is to try a few ones, several days each. Then you will have no doubt and that won't kill your device (I did not dare at the beginning but I have flashed my device ... quite a few times...)
You are a cooker and want to be? Do not invent the wheel. Liason with the cooker that is working in the line you like and ask him what you want to do and what is the best starting point. You will be surprised how helpful people can be.

PPCKitchen sources can not be used directly. A script is needed to change fileattributes automatically, since ppckitchen handles files in a different way.
Do not overload your kitchen with lots of releases since the cooking time grows a lot.
SYS Fixes (sticky in chef central)
We use wm6.1 kernel which means it has a limit on the number of modules it can cope with. If you do not get a bootable Rom then recmod some more modules. No consensus on which ones, how many or in which slot. As pcarvalho says, it does not matter if it does the job.
How to update your kitchen to the latest builds?
Does your kitchen suffer S.O.D.? My experience is that is not a kitchen or sys problem, it has to do with oem/ext htc packages (specially htc notifications and volume control) or start menu cooking. However, other people are reporting other reasons such as the tools used to cook or corrupted modules.
Sys description
Best explanation I can give is:
COM1- Builds 217**:
COM2 - Builds 218**: GUI is 1st stage of finger friendly features implemented. This is the only official WM6.5 released to public. All other COM* Builds are leaked test builds (not even classified as alpha or beta). In this range, the GUI introduces softer corners to various dialogs, the new start menu (Very early builds had a honeycomb theme but although the hexagons have been removed, the icon alignments remain), and the taskbar and menubar have been slightly modified to allow for further skinning.
COM3 - Builds 230**: GUI from 23001 to 23021 looks the same as COM2. 23022+ introduced the new shorter/expanding taskbar and finger friendly text-based buttons on taller bottom menubar and ever since its been called wm6.5.1 rather than 6.5..
23047+ introduced icon-based buttons.. New checkboxes and scroll bars and recently (from 23069 i think) a magnifier in the taskbar are amongst the newer gui elements introduced in the latest builds..
At some point (im not sure when, kinetic scrolling was introduced..
It appears that COM4 elements are being introduced into this branch such as the new contact application, a slightly modified sms application, and possibly a slightly modified calender application..
COM4 - Builds 234**: Seems to have stopped at 23420. The newer contact application and possibly the modified sms and calender applications were first introduced in this branch but have since been incoorperated into latest builds of COM3
COM5 - Builds 235**: At the moment little is known of this branch. 23502 is the first build leaked that Im aware of. It seems to have been compiled at about the same time as 23060 but with superior stability, speed, memory management, Newer COM3 builds 23071 and above have been reported to be superior in terms of stability and speed. However the latest COM5 23506 compared to COM3 23088 (build date is identical) seem equally fast and stable. COM5 builds have the new Contact app and Magnifier, as in latest COM3 Builds, but lack kinetic scrolling.
Apparently, the new internet explorer has been modified as well (but Bikertibi Builds have the old internet explorer from wm6.1 because new one does not handle well on our device)
Other branches you might or might not come to see:
AKU1 - Builds 212**
SAM1 - Builds 215**
MD1 - Builds 219**
WMD - Builds 28***: The First Build leaked is 28002 (build date 17th November 2009). As of this branch Windows Mobile is at WM6.5.3. This branch is to continue from COM3 23090 and is believed to carry improvements to the New Internet Explorer Mobile as well as overall speed
Builds 216**: leaked builds that have been played with by the team over at HTC but not officially used on any handset as yet
Builds 236**: Recently came across these builds but have no further info on them

Here I reserve a space to post apps that are optimized for SD install.
There are three ways of doing it:
1. Use mortscript to install on the SD Card. Sashimi great tool does so. In the mortscript source compendium you can also find a script that does it more manually (may fail on some devices/cabs). I never have time to "steal" the code from sashimi's. It is as simple as leaving the cab file in a certain folder. the drawback is sashimi's is kinda slow to launch because it does a LOT of things. btw, great tool to backup emails, wifi and so on.
2. Use sktools: it lets you move files (including dll) to the sd card and is able to create a cab version that saves the installation configuration (sd installation, registry changes, dll moved, etc). Very easy but cabs created can not be opened by all other cab editing apps.
3. Use Wince cab manager. It is more tedious.
At the end I will post here some of these files/links for everybody to enjoy

Using mortscript to cook provxml files with shortcuts and icons
There are several ways to customize the ROM:
1- RunCC: nice looking, can not be interrupted (if so is like a hard reset). Sometimes is tricky while cooking.
2- XDA_UC: mortscript based, has full support for tradicional UC config files (no need to install SDconfig). Can run in combination with RunCC or standalone. Has lots of functionalities for the cooker to create shortcuts, load regkeys, etc. but also for the ROM user (install cabs, xml or reg files, etc while you are using the ppc).
3- SDConfig: You can change bmp displayed as the customization takes place. Can be aborted.
I use 1+2 combined. I basically use XDA_UC to do the customization and control the Radio after first boot and I use RunCC to ensure the customization is not aborted.

Polaris chef's corner (POLA100) - Non solved questions
In this second post I will try to gather direct questions on how to do something specific. It can not be something like how do I install wm6.5 on my wm6,1 device or how can I cook a ROM. Answers should not be I have read that or that but rather I do it this way and it works. Let me put some examples:
- How can I make top bar / softkeybar transparent with wm6.5 (I am not talking about a top bar simulating the wallpaper, but a transparent one)
- How can I sync time automatically first time radio is connected without wifi or activesync? There are many apps out there that sync time through a data connection but can it be done automatically with cell tower information or gps?
- I have to blips (short sounds) when the welcome screen pops up. How can I avoid the second blip?
- How you cook the connectionsetup ? can the files be in sd card and tell connectionsetup with the corresponding reg key?
- Where and how are bt profiles stored?
- Can I use roms from other devices? and other devices can use polaris roms?
- How can I associate apps with file explorer and resco explorer (eg. txt file with notepad, mscr with notepad, etc).
- How can I bachup and restore my bt pairings (with xml or reg)
- Which splash tool to use so I do not get a black band in the bottom, where the red letters appear?

Where are those files suposed to be so I can check? I am not familiar since I have been using for a long time Jetware BT extension and it works great with my Parrot. It is great if you have thousands of records and many categories since you can tell which categories to sync so it does not take a long time. I always include it in my roms and its open code.

I checked your german's rom posts. In case it helps, I have BTBPP, BTSAP and BTFTP as EXT modules and they seem to work. However I have them disabled since my BT connects to the carkit without any popus (only 1st time when building the association). In bt profiles (settings) I jave a2dp, hsp, hpf 1.5 (hands free profile), pan, hid, opp, bpp, avrcp, pbab (phonebool access profile), spp, sdap profiles.

In bt profiles (settings) I jave a2dp, hsp, hpf 1.5 (hands free profile), pan, hid, opp, bpp, avrcp, pbab (phonebool access profile), spp, sdap profiles.

Alexander, here are the ext bt modules. As I said I currently have them disable. Regarding the profiles, I would be happy to share them but do not know how they are stored (files, reg file, xml file?). If you know how to locate and share let me now.

first...thanks...i let you know if i find it....also interesting is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382263

I was browsing the internet but did not find how the profiles are stored. I found a nice webpage describing all the btprofiles, will add to 1st post.

In this second post I will try to gather direct questions on how to do something specific. It can not be something like how do I install wm6.5 on my wm6,1 device or how can I cook a ROM. Answers should not be I have read that or that but rather I do it this way and it works. Let me put some examples:
- How can I make top bar / softkeybar transparent with wm6.5
- How can I sync time automatically first time radio is connected without wifi or activesync?
- I have to blipgs when the welcome screen pops up. How can I avoid the second blip?
- How you cook the connectionsetup ? can the files be in sd card and tell connectionsetup with the corresponding reg key?
- anybody has an oem/ext/cab quickgps that does not give the empty page error and has white letters and dark wallpaper?

hummm...is this section for me?
gonna have to get some time to answer some of those...
ill start with the last one for now...answer: hack the exe (or just "steal" it from my rom - easier this way )...mine has white letters and dark wall...
meanwhile here is another (on mine it's okay btw): why do most cooked roms fail/stop to play music when device screen is turned off? its not wm6.5 related that much i know, but i dont know what you lot did to break this feature...
cheers
ps: what are blipgs/blip's? lost me there

[Q] Problem: No changes take effect in cooked ROM in EVK!

Hi pals
I Cooked a WM6.1 19971 Official ROM for OPAL in Ervius Visual Kitchen. The cooked ROM seems quite alright except that:
1.The original ROM was about 100MB while despite the fact that I added a lot of packages, the cooked ROM is about 80MB.
2.None of my packages exist in the cooked ROM when I flash it.
Can you tell me what the problem is?

The smaller size is fine.
What do you mean packages not there?
Are the files not in the windows folder or are you just missing shortcuts?

What?!...EVK generates a build_log...look at this, and u'll see, what's in your rom.
Cannot belive that u've applied packages in EVK they wouldn't cook in....strange.

It is happened to me too in the beginning when i was cooking for kaiser and tried to cook inside HTC Mega packages with Manila 2d...i solved it using OsKitchen,lol.

Sorry...but usin' OSKitchen is still hard work in my opinion. Maybe others think similar to me, and please forgive me @airxtreme!
But still the best kitchen in my opinion is EVK....

Its not true,
OsKitchen compared to any other Kitchen is much more easy to use expecially for newbie users.
EVK it is much complete.
Which is the best between one and another its only a personal taste.

And that's what i said!
For new's, maybe OSKitchen is easier to use...but still beta.

Speak is free and give opinions too...but please people dont start flaming about kitchens.
I mean about what in red....its not nice.

While EVK was building the ROM I checked the log it was generating. I saw all my packages. But when I used osKitchen it had problems with the *.dsm file in the packages and said that it's corrupt. I think it's the problem but I used package-creator-v2.7 to convert *.cab files to a package. So obviously the problem is with the package creator.
But on thing that's for sure is that newbies (like me) should stick to osKitchen.

FYI, Barin's OSBuilder has a .dsm autocorrection option.

Well, OsKitchen has its own package creator so all you need is to import your original rom and convert all your cabs again plus it has an auto mui converter,thats mean if that you have some 0410 mui's and you are cooking for 0409 oskitchen wiil rename all the mui for you.It worth a try.

Let's state this once for all: Ervius kitchen is basically a GUI to create _skip files that launches a giant batch file that does all the cooking and that needs to be customized for every device: if you created your own _skip files by hand and used a batch file to cook there would be virtually no difference. OsKitchen has a simple GUI by design but that doesn't mean that it isn't orders of magnitude more complete and advanced than ervius kitchen: it does everything from detecting all device/ROM informations without asking anything (the list of supported devices actually has nothing associated to them but the alternative names: no customized fixed, no customized settings, nothing) to cooking with all sorts of checks to prevent bricking or unbootable ROMs and even parsing all the files in the package: if I had proper relocation code (that I was waiting Da_G to write since he knows that stuff better than everybody else) the kitchen could already natively cook its own ROMs. I'm already using all the code I wrote to replace platformrebuilder to implement all sorts of cool stuff like complete validation of all package files and installing packages directly on the phone trough activesync (to avoid having to reflash any time you want to test something) as you can see on the alphas thread, things that on ervius kitchen, where cooking just means running a giant batch file, you could only dream of.
I hope that finally clears the minds of the people saying that ervius is more advanced or complete: it's not, it's just a simple batch file-based kitchen with an unnecessarily complex GUI. It may have some bundled tools that oskitchen doesn't include (like xipporterex, that while works on some NK.EXE wreaks havoc on unofficial native kernel and latest kernels) but having a dedicated button to launch a tool doesn't make a kitchen "more advanced" or "more complete".

No offence and I do appreciate and use your work, but aren't all kitchens just fancy GUI's around a set of batch files and same old imgfstools and platformrebuilder from yesteryear?

Not really, I process all the files before feeding them to platformrebuilder hence the recmod/upx/tweaks/ordering/manila compression/etc without touching any of the original files. I also only use the newest tools available like libnb and osnbtool that the kitchen calls directly and checks the output to warn of any error and to get informations about the ROM format indeed it can import any proper BIN/NB/NBH file and cook it without even knowing what device they come from. The only original imgfstools I keep are nbmerge and nbsplit because I was waiting Da_G to finish his BuildNB function but osnbtool can probably replace both (nbsplit for sure with the -sp parameter).

@OP, it sounds like your package structure is wrong. Are the packages in EXT format (not OEM)? If they're in oem format, none of the files will be included. Just make the packages manually, it's a lot easier.

Can you please post the build log file?

My kitchen (OSbuilder) uses it's own engine to process packages, build dsms, rebase modules, merge dsm and build ROM file. The only external tool i use is "TurboImgfs" by airxtreme.

Yes , when i wrote that EVK ,maybe, its more complete then OsKitchen i was referring to this, only some tools.

Don't let them get you down man. Ervius's kitchen is a piece of **** in my opinion. The GUI blows and it crashes on the smallest thing that's not exactly right with a package. Did I mention the GUI is horrible ?
I will say it as well, erv's kitchen is NOTHING but a glorified GUI for platformrebuilder which is the real workhorse.
p.s. I made my own kitchen GUI, based on platformrebuilder as well. Mine's designed to cook for 12 devices at a time though... so I can't exactly share it. PM me if you'd like the details necesssary to make Samsung Omnia 2 ROMs with prb though, it seems nobody else seems to know what the "secret" is... I just think they didn't try hard enough. lol If anything, you can add 4 more devices to your already impressive collection of supported devices
