Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping for a bit of advise please..
(I have searched, but I've found nothing I can get working)
I've (very) recently started palying with cooking my own ROM(s). I've managed to dump, reconstruct and successfully flash a couple back to my phone just to check I've got the very basics right in my kitechen and I seem to have.
I've been getting on OK removing packages too, so I can slim ROMs down etc...
The trouble I've found is that when converting my own .CABs to packages (as described in the great guides round here) using the package converter, I can add them into my kitchen just fine. Unfortunately, when I flash my phone with the resulting ROM, there's no signs of what I've tried to add.
Could anyone suggest what I might be missing please?
I'm also hoping to figure out how to set my own options (create email accounts, set ringtones, the normal customization anyone might do after a reset) so they're good to go after a hard rest, any pointers on this would be greatly appreciated too!
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for the pointer...
I'd got as far as the first bit already...but thats the first mention I've seen of a 'package rebuilder'.
...and I'm giving it a go right now.

Well, thats got an app or three installed...thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction.
Unfortunately, I can't get the package to create me a start menu menu icon for the apps I've converted from .CABs. I think I've found the right settings in the package creator, but I don't get whatever icon(s) I set up.
any thoughts on this last bit please?
oh,and I'm using 'Ervius Visual bepe's kitchen'
thanks again,

Hi guys,
I hope this is the correct forum for my question:
I've got a weird problem with my own cooked roms:
If I use Manila, and go to Settings tab -> try to go to 'all settings', it shows my Connections-screen (with My ISP on it etc).
Now I cannot reach the rest of the Settings.
Can somebody help me?
I've tried lots of things, but I can't seem to fix it.

You want this registry key (if you're using 6.5):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"IsWM6.5"=dword:1

This is my suggestion:
1. Goto the Ext Manila_core_2_5_xxxxxx and open the app.reg inside the "0409" folder.
Edit the following registry to be like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
"HideSettings"=dword:0
This will enable the WM6.5 settings icon in the start menu
2. Goto the EXT Settings_Improvement_x_x_xxxxxxxx and open the app.reg.
Edit the following registry to be like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
"HideSettings"=dword:0
It will do the same as above
3. Inside Settings_Improvement_x_x_xxxxxxxx open the "files"folder and delete the "settings.lnk"
This will delete the HTC settings icon that sends you to the Settings Tab, which IMHO is stupid.
Cook your Rom and flash it again.
Hope it Helps
Thanks guys, I'll try this tonight.
Thanks, it worked!

Hi Guys,
I'm currently attempting building a ROM using the OSkitchen. I've managed to get the ROM to boot and removed all the stuff i dont want.
I've figured out how to add CAB's to the EXT packages to install the stuff i want...
There's a few things i'd like to know how to do - i've tried searching but not really found any useful info for the following things - any help would be much appreciated and im looking forward to releasing my ROM for you guys
* How do i customise where an application is installed to in the start menu - As an example the icon changer application installs into its own folder 'JWD apps'?
* How can i apply Registry tweaks and other settings so i dont have to set them after Flashing?
* And Finally how do i enable the extra RAM? I'm using a T-mobile base and Radio version 2.10.50.08_2.
Thanks a lot for any help offered.

I have not dealt with the first question, but for #2 all you have to do is create a new EXT package and add app.reg with all of the registry settings and tweaks you want to do. Label is something like Z_Tweaks so it gets processed last.

1.- Many apps needs one special folder to be installed: like "Program files\JWD apps\" and many others run fine just in Windows\ so you can try to do this... open the file called app.dat in your app ext pkg... make a backup of your ext pkg... then delete all the entries in that file, but dont delete the entrie that puts the lnk into "windows\start menu\programs... It means that all the files will be intalled in windows folder... locate the lnk of that app open it with a txt editor like notepad and change the route to Windows\jwd icon changer.lnk or exe i dont know the exact name... and try to run the app from start menu... if it works ok... you will be able to run the app without double files in windows and programfiles... that lnk entrie in the app.dat allows you to select where does the icon will be in the start menu honeycomb... and you can edit all entries if you like into another folder... but remember not all apps works like this.
2.- already correctly answered
3.- there is an answer i guess.... mmm in the thread that says something like "is it safe to use tmous 2.10 as base rom to cook wwe?" or something like that search using the tool you have the right keywords you will have the right answer
Thanks so much for the answers guys - exactly what i was after - i'll get cracking with these tonight
I think i've found the info i need for enabling the 576mb RAM - i guess i'm just using the incorrect Tmous base, i'll download another and see what the result is...
Cheers

you need the nk.exe from a tmous rom, plus a radio of 2.06.50.x or higher, but only with 50 in the radio version, not the 51 radios.
Hi again guys! I have this problem with the rom i'm customizing. Everytime I launch the camera it says "Unable to start camera. Not enough memory"...
I'm new to cooking and I'm still in the learning process. Please help me with this. Thanks!
What taskmanager are you using? If standard HTC taskmanager, try this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]
"SkipAK4Camera"=dword:00000000
What device are you cooking for and which camera are you using?

I'm cooking a rom for a Leo, i use Camera v6.26.20121425.00..
still can't figure this out..
When i tried to make a new kitchen and copy all my ext there the camera launches but the restart after customization on first boot is not working anymore. I'm search for fixes with this or anything related but still no luck.
Sorry I don't understand mate, you launch the camera while device customisation isn't done yet?
If it's caused by device customisation I would have a closer look at the provxmls if they contain some camera presets.
First packages I would check are:
* Operatorpkg
* ProjectDefault_A
* ProjectDefault_B
* ProjectDefault_C
Another check is ExtendedPkg - config.txt to see if there isn't a .cab launched which could cause this.
Also I don't know if you are using a mixture of packages but try to keep them as much as possible from one source.

Sorry Sir Laurentius26 if I'm not clear. After flashing my cooked rom, I tried to test if the camera is working but then when i tried to open it the error pop up telling "Unable to start camera. Not enough memory".
I got the the ext package from the later rhodium pack but the camera wont work if i used the one that was added from there so i replaced it with the one from 3.02 ext pkgs. I really got confused with this because it's my first time to cook a rom for leo. As of now I'm still reading things about cooking.
Sorry for all of this, I really am new to this.
No problem and you don't have to say 'Sir' amigo.
I'm only trying to point you in the right direction.
What you can do is check the config.txt I suggested and see what's in there.
The provxmls you can compair with a stock working Leo rom.
I use a application named 'compair it' to do that.
You can compair bought provxmls side by side and see if there are any differences in camera presets.
http://www.grigsoft.com/wincmp3.htm
About the packages from Rhodium, experiment and replace the multimedia ones as well with the 3.02 source you have.
It's just quesing for me but maybe the following:
* MHub
* Media Toolkit
* DShow
* Picture Enhancement
* App Service
* HTC Application
* HTCUtil
* Power
* PowerOffwarning
* SensorSDK
* Resourceproxy
I've had the same problem as you with the camera in past but unfortunatly I don't remember what it was.
Did you apply tweaks to the camera which could cause out of memory issues?

Yes i have applied some tweaks but it was working before then suddenly it didn't. I think i know why this happened. Before the error occurs, I have read about sys packages that you can recmod so I tried it. After that I found the bug with all ringtones, my rom doesnt recognize ringtones anymore. Back then I try removing the recmods from my kitchen, btw i'm using OsKitchen, so i uncheck the ones that i have recmodded. After that the error occurred. I saw only now that there's a recmod cache. I tried to replace it with the fresh recmod cache that only contains the needed recmods to boot the rom. I'm still building the rom now and will flash and check if the error is still there. I'll update here whatever I found out after.
Ringtone problems and camera problems are mostly caused by the wrong Dshow.
Don't use recmodding to much and keep everything modulair as it's.

OK that's noted mate! Will let you know what happens after flashing the rom. Still waiting for it to finish building.
Thanks!
After removing the recmod cache, still when i try to launch the camera it says that there's not enough memory. I will try to replace the Dshow with the one from 3.02 ext pack.
But your rom still boots isn't?
DShow is more important then the recmodding as it contains the codecs to play your audio and video files.
I don't understand why you didn't follow my advise in the first place, it would have saved you another flash.

The rom still boot, everything works fine except for the following:
I try replacing the dshow but still the problem is there. And also when I type from the keyboard there are no words in the suggested word box when XT9 is activated.
Also when I go to All settings>Personal>Buttons.. there are no buttons to assign. I have included the reg keys for removing the redirect but still there are no buttons to assign there.
If still the problem is there, I think i need to make a new one and start from scratch again. I'm running out of ways to try to fix this.
and btw, was the number of times you flashed a rom in your phone is affecting it? or does it have any effects?
Are the ringtones working?
I asume that you use a Leo dialer and not the Rhodium?
Go back to my previous post with suggested packages and replace them with the 3.02.
If your rom boots why should you start all over again?
About your last question.
Wild ques 5 times a day x 365 days.
It doesn't affect, I'm cooking for about 8 years now.
I must go now, goodluck and I will check later your progress.

Thanks mate! I'll try to fix this! I'll keep you posted here what will happen next.
After trying a couple of times the problem still exist. I have tried to make a new kitchen but then the "Unable to start camera. Not enough memory" error appeared again. I think it's in my reg tweaks. I'll try not to add those and see that happens.
It is confirmed. The error was triggered by the reg keys that I have included. Still trying to find out which one of the reg keys are doing it.
Edit: After adding few apps, the error was there again. I'll try to figure out what really causes this problem.... As of now still unsolved..
Solution..
Laurentius was right, I got the camera working but I have remake my kitchen first before it worked. By the time I compiled everything in my new kitchen, I tried my very best to keep everything from one source. Then slowly one by one replacing what needs to be replaced.
I got all the apps and the reg edits in and the camera is still working.
Just always be careful in adding tweaks, that's also one of the main reason why the camera didn't launch.
This gives a clear solution to the problem mention in the thread Title.
Thanks,
Pongskie
Thanks to Sir Laurentius26!
Edit: I will change the title of the thread to solved now.
1st thing I want to clarify. My screen is working with other roms but the one i cooked myself does not work
i tried cooking my roms with these packages for xperiax1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700798 (only these EXT packages nothing else) and when i flashed it the screen does not respond to screen taps.
Did i do anything wrong? or some config need to be set? i did not get the align screen setup only the manila on screen keyboard setup. If this would solve my problem why dont i get it?
So you dont have any SYS or OEM cooked in??
It sounds like some missing pkgs...always start with working kitchen, then mod it with newer pkgs...
