Different HTCHome builds can cause problems! - Mogul, XV6800 General

I was using a build of HTC Home with my Titan and there were a few minor problems. I'm not sure where I got it from so I don't have advice of which build to avoid. However, know that different individual builds each have their own issues and some a built towards specific devices or roms. A while back GC14 posted a build in on of there threads. I have found this 2.1 build the work perfectly with DCD's roms.
If you use a cab to change the HTC theme the files are located in \HTCHome Some builds place all the files in \Windows.
Also some of the problems from incompatible builds are:
1. inability to turn off device
2. backlight pref won't work
3. device info only display's rom name.
So the version GC posted earlier works very well, here it is:
(GC if you don't want me to post this, tell me)

thanks for the heads up!

enable Rogers Name Display - cab format

This has already been posted in the hacking and development forum, but for those folks who do not frequent that forum, I am posting it here.
This cab enables Rogers Name Display (while on Rogers/Fido) when using a non-Rogers ROM. I have tested it in Shadow 2.1 CE, TESS 2.5, and OpalR2. This cab simply replaces the rilgsm.dll with the one from the Official Rogers 6.0 ROM and enables the feature in the registry.
So far it seems that it can be safely removed if you decide you don't want it. It has only been tested on the Touch Enhanced (ELFin). It may or may not work on the original Touch (ELF).
Note: this has only had limited testing, so use at your own risk.
Great, was following the other thread earlier, didn't realize we had a solution. Thank you for letting everyone else know.
As already stated by myself in the original thread here , this fix works for me. Thanks again, trueg. I think some people owe you money as mentioned in the other thread.

[REQ] Oskitchen Help

I am going to give chef'in a try and as I have never done it before I would ask you to be patient with me.
I have the HTC Leo with Radio 2.10.50 and HSPL installed.
Im using oskitchen and so far I have updated a Stock rom to 6.5.5. Nothing difficult there I hear you say ! But hey, its my first working ROM.
Now I have 2 questions that I hope you can help me with.
Q1. When I flashed the ROM to my phone all worked as you would expect apart from the main screen looked like it had dropped down about 10 pixels. Top and bottom bars looked OK but the middle looked wrong (Screen coming if needed)
Q2. Can someone instruct me on how to set the default wallpaper from oskitchen ?
I have an image called HTC_BG.png and I would like to cook it into the ROM as the default wallpaper.
Ive looked on the forums for help with these questions but I am unable to find them.
Any help / links would be helpfull
Once I have this info, I will proceed to cook my ROM and eventually post the results on the forums along with a complete tutorial as I go along, for those who are looking for similar info.
I have any problems with the buttons and the prefrence folders.
I have create a clip how can you see this problem.

From what I know dumping and rebuilding a Leo ROM works correctly on both oskitchen 1.30v3 and 1.31beta3 so you probably changed something that broke that stuff. Always try if a clean dumped ROM rebuilds fine before doing changes that may break it.
Okay... I think im not so Stupid to do this.
I go this way:
1. I Install (extract) OS Kitchen on a folder into my Harddrive (C:/OS)
2. Then i Load the original Rom, extract this to get the RUU_Signed_0407.nbh
3.I Start OSKitchen and klick on Import-> Import a new ROM file.
4. I Select my Model, HTC Leo (HD2) and type the pfad of the RUU_Signed_0407.nbh and go to next (Waiting a minute)
5. I klick on start bulding, and os kitchen go throte without errors..
I Flash the Rom...
And the Taps didn't work. I Have a Windows XP OS and the OS Kitchen Version is 1.31.alpha4

Update to 1.31beta3 because anything before the beta1 had issues with HD2
like Shaddex I am looking into creating ROM's from scratch (for HD2 Leo also!), first for personally use and maybe for general if I can get a ROM to look nice.
My question is, is there a kitchen which work's best for the HD2? Or are all basically generic and just "cook" in different ways?
Sorry to hijack your post Shaddex I hope you get an answer soon, wish I could help
And back on topic
Ok. I extracted Oskitch again, added "RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_1.72.831.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship"
as the base ROM.
Next installed the "24619_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_HVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409" so I can use the latest build.
Thats all I did.
No extra EXT packages, Just cooked the ROM and below is what I get.
Anyone shed any light ?

The 6.5.3 windows mobile builds have the top and bottom bar of different sizes while Manila is probably calibrated for the WM6.5 bars (indeed there's empty space at the top and overlap at the bottom). There is probably something else you have to do to fix manila after changing the windows mobile build but I'm pretty sure it's not a kitchen problem I've had several people reporting the Leo ROMs dump and build fine with the 1.31 betas.
Is anyone willing to assist me on getting a Stock HD2 rom and upgrading it to 6.5.x without the problems I am seeing ?

Could you post a screenshot of your problem, and if you upload your background, i will use it to replace the one in HTC Black.TSK (You need OCP CE CAB Manager)
I have posted a screenie of the problem and someone says its because manila is not the correct version for the 6.5.5 im using.
Dont suppose you have a 6.5.5 stock rom ???
So...
Can anyone let me have a oskitchen with 6.5.x + latest manila so I can add to it.

Working OSKitchen with Windows 6.5.5 for download!!!!

I have recently started to build my own rom for the HD2. I have spent a lot of time getting a stable osKitchen build working with windows 6.5.5. I had some problems getting sense to work properly with the newer versions of windows.
I now believe that I have a stable build and am in the process of buildiing my first rom which I will post shortly.
I have seen that a lot of people have been having problems doing this as well. Now that I have got kitchen working I thought I would share it with people. You can download it from here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UR5N4M4R
It contains the following
Base ROM: HTC HD2 default HTC stock rom version 1.66
OS: 24619
Sense: 2.5.2014 - I have tried using 2016 but can not get this working yet
osKitchen: 1.30v3
This rom compiles and builds correctly. I have flashed my HD2 and it seems to run properly. In a previous thread I stated that I could not get Internet Explorer to work correctly, I have now corrected this error.
This is a completly un-modified kitchen build, which I am happy for you to download and use. If you do upload your ROMS to XDA please just mention that you used my kitchen build.
The one limitation is that it is built for English, WWE only. I hae not been able to build any other languages into the rom.
If you want to use another phone other than the HD2 with this build, simply download your stock rom and extract using the wizzard, Go into your ext folder and delete all manila folders and the start icon folder and then copy the manila and start icon folders in from the leo ext folder.
I can see people have started to download and use this. I would be keen to know how you get on!
Giving it a go with a different device - will let you know how I get on

[Q] Been at this a week now and need some assistance - Cooking in latest Manila

I have been trying all week to get the latest (or any v2.5) Manila integrated into my ROM. I am using the latest osKitchen. There has been a lot of trial & error but here's what I have done so far:
Import latest HTC WWE ROM - 1.56
Rebuild this ROM just to prove it works
Replace 6.1 Kernel with 6.5 Kernel found on here
Import a newer Windows Mobile Build
Build ROM to test it works with stock OEM drivers/apps etc
Add my own preferred applications & settings etc and rebuild
At this point I now have a working ROM with the apps & settings I need, however it has the stock Manila (TouchFLO 3?) that I would like to replace. I have downloaded LOTS of manila packages and tried including them in the build whilst excluding the stock 'Manila v1.3.37395.2' but each time there is a problem. Typically the device boots OK but locks up during the first boot customisation sequence.
I am assuming (hoping?) other people have followed a similar procedure and hit the same issues? I was hoping for some pointers as to how I get past this hurdle
Thanks, Andy
Maybe you should ask in Chef Central forum?

Been trawling through the Chef Central forum for a week...
There are lots of Manila threads but I can't find anything that matches my issue. Thought I'd try on the Native Blackstone forum
Only got the Blackstone last week - still have the Kaiser until I can get the ROM just as I want it. I'll update my signature
I can't believe that nobody has hit the same issues as me
The stock ROM that I imported simply doesn't have the correct packages or simplu cannot support the latest Manila so needs updating/replacing etc. I have searched and searched (and searched and searched...) but I am really struggling to find out what I need to add/remove/update from the stock ROM packages to get the latest Manila in my 6.5 ROM.
Anyone? Please?
i think you didnt search enough.
if you look to sticky thread there you can see a fully working kitchens.
i would say take a look at there.
Based to this kitchen you will learn more about the packs what you need to use manila 2.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515824
and take a look at this thread You will learn more about manila
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584978
If you really cant find anything
I can upload mine kitchen which is working great
I did go to the dark side (iphone 4)
I have 42 memory usage after soft reset and it very stable
Its up to you do you want a kitchen which is made by yourself ( which is the best way to learn cooking) or...
cheers
Rambo
Thanks for that link Rambo. I honestly tried searching using different word combinations and could not find that thread
It has helped me somewhat however I am still struggling getting Manila 2.5 to work with osKitchen.
I have now resorted to using the whole of the HTC Leo EXT packages and then replacing/grafting in EXT packages from the original Blackstone dump. This is working but has various issues that need fixing.
I'll plod on....
Andy
it isnt that easy ha
if you need any help let us know.
or you can always ask questions in the chef central thread.
good luck

How do I record calls (Mod)

I've seen the thread floating around before I got the phone and can't find it for the life of me now.
I know there's a hack that allows me to record my own phone calls, from what i've been reading on an i9000 forum its done in the form of a modified apk file.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I can get this set up on my S II
Don't know if you need to know this info but im running
Firmware - DarkyRom2 XXKH3 Base R2
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.11 - [email protected] #26
Android Version - 2.3.4
Isn't it part of the Batista Rom? you could extract the dialer from it.
Some people use "Call recorder" (icon: green android) and reports it works fine.
Thanks for the hint, downloading the batista rom now, Its weird, as simple as it is it never occured to me that I could mix and match contents from different roms, I think its time for me to do some experimenting now, so what I can concuct.
And remember children if you decide to do the same nandroid that sh*t first
