Hello XDA users....
I think you know it all, that the ROMkitchen is a fine application to get our device nearly perfect.
But the ROMkitchen is out of date. This means many applications aren´t not in the actual version. Therefore Auburnham and I thought to update the applications.
The problem is, that the amount of added applications to the kitchen is to big to make this happen by us two. Because of this problem I´m searching for some people, which wants to help.
Another problem is, that you need for this a device that haven´t got installed that piece of software. This means that when you want to help me with Phonext for example, you must have a device without any version of Phonext installed.
So, if you are going to help me make a snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Install the software.
Make again an Snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Send these two files to [email protected] with inforamtion about the program you have installed and the exact Version you have installed.
When I´ve got analyzed the two files i will reply to you with a wishlist of files that have been created on your device. After sending me the files, i can update the kitchen....
IF there are any quesions or anything else, feel free to contact me....
Regards
Stefan
Good Idea :
I'd be happy to contribute.
Tell me which application you want me to install and I'll do it provided that I find the procedure (that I've seen being posted elsewere in this forum).
NB : I'm using XDA I with a Frenchy 3.16 and be stuck with it :evil: ; so there is no chance for me to re-build a new a geniun 3.16 Rom again.
My XDA is all up and running.
I've overcome my Language FRA error message after purchasing a SD card reader and loading the ROM through the bootloader. 8)
Now, I'm about to install ttn 3 on my XDA. Do you want list it in your kitchen ?
What do you need exactly ?
I would be happpy to help. I am a regular user of your site and appreciate the effort that has been put into it.
I understand the effort needed to keep things working and up to date.
Pierre
I'm in!!
Just let me know what you need and when and I will maker every endevour to help.
Thanks for all you do

I've sent these snapshots off to Stefan, along with the files that I thought might be necessary for these programs. This is going to be great for all of us, but a lot of work for Stefan. We all owe him a great deal, so take him out for a nice meal the next time you see him.

I don't want to make this any more complicated than it is, but for some programs, it just doesn't make any sense to install to the XDA memory. Most of the media players and "Misc" programs just take up too much unnecessary device memory when they would work just as well on the SD Card (if that's available).
The problem is that those huge programs require just a few small files to be placed on the device itself. So after installing a few of these types of programs, you've used up a lot of device memory from these small files, even though you installed the program to your SD Card.
Is there a way to alter the kitchen a bit to allow cooking of the necessary device files only, and allow the user to later install the program to the SD Card (being careful not to overwrite the files in ROM with files in RAM)?
For instance, with the TomTom program, if you start with a clean ROM and SD card, take a snapshot, then install the program to your SD card, then take another snapshot, you could determine what files need to be on the device, and what files don't need to be on the device, and allow users to either cook the entire program or just the necessary files in the ROM. (Note: This is a good example of a run-on sentence). Would this be a difficult feature to add to the kitchen?

Maybe the esiest Option is adding a new Select Point for the kitchen like "misc", "System Tools", "Phone" ....
This means having the programs double in the kitchen, but how cares.
I don't know exactly, but when you install a program to the SD-Card, could you select the part where to place it?
If yes, this could be a big problem. Many of the programs store the path in the registry.
If no, i could also provide a ZIP-file, where the rest of the programfiles are in, hust to unzip to the Storagecard.....

I believe this really depends on (1) how well the program was written, and (2) if you can install the program with CabInst (i.e. has a cab installation).
For example, I try to keep my SD Card organized and tidy so if I use CabInst I install the program to an appropriate folder on the SD Card. If I have to install the program from the desktop, I install the program to the SD Card root, then try to move the program to an appropriate folder and update the shortcut. Most of the time this works without even changing any registry entries, but sometimes it doesn't. Two examples from the above list of applications are AOL Instant Messenger 2.0 and Pocketmind PocketMusic 3.0. To function correctly, they both need to be in their original installation folders on the SD Card.
But perhaps the best solution would be to have an associated .zip file to go on the SD Card, as you suggested.
Shawn
Now the kitchen should be up 2 date again.
Only missing is PocketConsole and the Part "Software that needs to register"
So happy cooking and again Thx a lot to all users that helped me.....
Stefan
A Windows-way for cooking a ROM would be great for two reasons: 1) Don't hassle your server with lots of traffic and 2) Practical. Advanced users could cook a ROM without having a PC with Unix.
For example I tried cooking the Spanish version of the ROM and not all the programs I chose were installed and the worst thing is that the boot logo was just garbage, it was showing program code on the screen as a logo

Marton

Ok. Fixed the problem with the bootscreen.....
Tried also adding as much application, and all have been installed.
Can you tell me, what files / programs are missing?
No one else told me that there have been a problem wirth this ROM. I think it's because of the situation that most of the useres are using WM2003 ROMS....
You can also use the kitchen under "Windows" just have to set up a Cyguin environment on your system....
Also i didn't know how many Kitchen's are implemented by other users, but mine one is the only "official". You can't believe that everyone would be able to set it up.......
Stefan
Thanks Stefan!!!!!!
Now it seems to work but if EzWAP is selected, it throws a Log error when trying to cook...
Cheers,
Marton
P.S.: Do you know if a Spanish WM2003 exists?
Edit: This is the error:
Cannot fit files in given sections
Error splitting files
Just cooked a ROM... I selected the "Windows Mobile XDA" Boot Screen and now it is not garbage anymore but now it shows mirrored and upside down...
Any ideas?

Hi,
As some user complain about speed of this marvellous object, HTC Blackstone (HD), I want to give some advice and method to speed up the tools.
So, first, when I had opened my phone, start using it, it crash 4 times just during the simple first usage (cross around TouchFlo 3D) ... I was afraid that this phone doesn't work pretty well comparing to the price, but
the system is nearly the same that the Diamond, with more memory (200 mb against 128 mb for diamond !), it change everything !
I have start to go on the forum and find a perle for tweaking, add to my tweak, it's great !
So, first of all, we need to install ".NET Compact 3.5", because by default on official first rom (I have the 1.14), it come with ".NET Compact 2.0" which is know to be slower than the "3.5" version.
So, go there : Microsoft .NET Compact 3.5
Install it on your phone (Internal of course, not Storage card)
After, install TCMD or any registry tools to change registry value
TCMD Web Site
Open it, go to "\\Registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework"
You have 2 entry :
2.0.7045.00
and
3.5.7283.00
So edit the 2.0, change value from "1" to "0"
and edit the 3.5, change value from "0" to "1"
Ok, now .NETCompact 3.5 is the default one.
After that, and before reboot, go on this thread
and take this cab : tnyynt SD TuneUP.cab
Install it, it will tune up your memory access to the storage card and global speed.
After that, install AdvancedConfig 3.3 from here
Open it (now it work with .NET 3.5 ),
Go to performance :
Change that value :
System Cache : Activated
System Cache Size : 0 (Auto)
Filter system file size : 16384
Glyph cache : 128 ko
Save and reboot
Now you system is full optimized, and work really well (crash doesn't occur any more or really really rarely, and speed is really apreciable).
This tweak work on diamond, but with too few memory, it's hard to use well the phone after, with all this memory and this nice HD, it's marvellous !
Hop this tweak will be sticked thanks everybody for this great forum,
hop HD will be explore like diamond in not too long time
Enjoy
Here 2 tricks to enjoy more :
First : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461228 (Dutty rom, great idea to use it )
Second : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3059269&postcount=3 (post 3 of dutty rom !), a great improvement for 3D capability of your HTC, a real Direct 3D Drivers. Just try, and report your feeling
Here a trick for CorePlayer :
They is an option in coreplayer for extra speed. They help a lot when you have a big video who lag a little.
So
Menu > Tools > Preferences > Select Page > Buffering > Microdrive mode
Check it
They will grow up cache size and other think, so report back your experience on it.

Hi,
To configure NETCF you can use Netcfconfig tool, no need to modify the registry.
You can find it in Raissak's Cabcorner:

Yes it does, but it has much more options.
For example you can run apps individual in Netcf 2.0 or 3.5.

for this one, just follow my tut
Many thanks for this!
Wasn't aware of the .NET CF tweak.. which apps are likely to gain from this?
Does this also result in a memory saving - as running apps all use the latest version and the old one isn't loaded into memory?

All apps on windows mobile use .NET, (I'm not sure but I think that), AdvancedConfig use that ...
So .NET 3.5 improve speed, memory usage and more. It's really good to use it, less crash, more speed, less memory, so any think is good for that
By the way, on diamond any cooked rom use it as a default one, and have deinstall the 2.0 version.
We can't do that there, we can just set 3.5 as the default.
A question: Why don't HTC use the version 3.5 on this "new" phone rather than version 2 (that sounds quite old) ?
In my opinion the HTC Standard Software ist not working with .NetFramework, so HTC is not interested in trying out something "new"... Maybe they will activate Framework 3.5 in a new Firmware Update.
Could this be the reason? Am I correct in saying, that not all the Software uses NetFramework? So the Speedboost will work only with some special Software.

Because they don't use it at all in their package ! so why installing a more rescent version when you use a old one ?

Have done some Benchmark.
VSBenchmark07 told me (nearly) the same old score. So no boost for this application.
VSBenchmark tests: Write/Read speed, Memory Acess, Graphic Performance, Sound Performance, Game Performance (?)
Weird.. my HD performs much better with NETCF3.5 installed.
Can you post the benchmarks please?

Hi,
Interesting thread, I'd like to have a go at this Hope I can get some help though...
I obviously want to start at the beginning; installing .NET FrameWork 3.5. My first question is in regards to installing this .NET 3.5 without using ActiveSync, Microsoft tells people this is possible:
"If you are not using ActiveSync, run the CAB files on the device that correspond to the device–specific CAB files found in the install folder."
Upon installing .NET FrameWork 3.5 on my laptop, I can find the following .CAB files in the install folder:
NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab
NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab
NETCFv35.ppc.armv4.cab
NETCFv35.wce.armv4.cab
NETCFv35.wce.mipsii.cab
NETCFv35.wce.mipsiv.cab
NETCFv35.wce.sh4.cab
NETCFv35.wce.x86.cab
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
(and some other ones for different languages)
Can anyone tell me which of these .CAB's I need for installing .NET FrameWork 3.5 on my Touch HD WWE I'd be much abliged for any assistance on this matter...

Try
\Program Files\[<Your program's Developer>\]<Your Program Name>
(Start-> File Explorer -> Up (lower left corner)->Up->Up->Up->. . . .->Up->Program Files . . .)
Also if you still cant find it, hook it up to your pc, and then use the windows (if you have windows) built in search, and then search for the file name and then you'll know where it is in the future

Some of the shortcuts in the start menu are actually folders (Multimedia, for example.)
Have you looked in them for the apps you installed? Also, some apps don't have shortcuts in the programs folder. TouchResponse, for example, just runs all the time. There's a shortcut in settings, but nothing in the start menu root.
You probably just need to hunt round. If you could tell us for sure what you're missing then someone on here will definitely have installed it previously and be able to help you.
ok, sorry...

How i did it was save the file onto the destop then connect the HD2 to the computer then open up the Phone memory (NOT THE "STORAGE CARD") then just copy and paste the Framework into tht place.so then i thought i was done so then i disconnect it then press the start button and going to "File Explorer" and activate it from there but it doesn't work

Well that's how I found the result in my second post. If you should decide to download it anyway. Copy the .cab file anywhere on your phone (or storage card). Find it with the File Explorer on your phone and click it.
It will start the installation. I'm not even sure it's going to ask you where you wish to install it, but do select 'Device' if appropriate.
