I've been breaking my head trying to figure out why the Rhodium Menu Enhancement works fine on some phones but never works on others. Is it certain builds? Is it certain files? Certain file versions?
In order to figure it out, I want to collect as much info as possible on the dependencies. I know that the dependencies are:
Coredll.dll
aygshell.dll
I'm gonna try to track down the dependencies for each dll.
I need some help. Help me gather as much info on it as possible.
gwes.exe and gwes.exe.0409.mui are the big ones. the ones you mentioned aren't necessary

WHICH gwes.exe and gwes.exe.0409.mui?
I am using the 21042 build and the Notification enhancement works but not the menu enhancement.

I have verinfou2.dll version: 1.0.1818.2525. What version are you using?
What HTC Scroll Package? I've got HTCScroll.dll version 1.0.1911.1624. What else is in the package?
Also, do you have RunCC installed?
On my own roms, WM 6.1 or WM 6.5, HTCMenus only work when manila is active.

Isn't there an option that disables the Manila Check. I'm almost 90% sure.

There are always a few cabs out there. The problem is getting it to work in the first place.
HTCScroll.dll is definately needed. it may also require ResLoader.dll (part of the ResourceProxy package), but i'm not 100% sure on that.
on most roms running build 21xxx, you'll have to cook it in to get it working.

I have ResLoader there for other reasons and I only cook ROMs, never use CABs, but it's still not working... I'm going to try the 21015 GWES and see what happens.

I have looked everywhere for either a cab file or a method to put the stock tf3d icons and slider. I am running Josh's New PerfectBlack 1.6a ROM. The help would greatly be appreciated. Sorry if this post seems newbish

thanks, but i guess this rom is very fickle about what gets done with its manila files
this cab didnt work... ive tried editing the manila files directly and i cant remember if its normal for all of them to be locked.
It's a new feature on many new custom ROMs (I believe only the WM 6.5.x roms): the empty appointment with the "30" icon on the lockscreen.
Nice, but how to remove it?
(I've seen the answer somewhere in a thread, but I can't find it anymore....)
Hello.
You can edit the the XML file.
It's called LS_LockScene_480x800
and it is placed in Windows\LockScreen

Thanks ZekeWolf, that will remove the "30" icon, but it still leaves a blank line right under the time/date line and will not show that icon when an appointment shows up on the lockscreen.
I've seen on Miri's 6.5.x rom that it must be possilbe to restore things back to the standard configuration of the stock Leo Rom. Anyone who is running a miri 6.5.x rom is willing to share the LS_LockScene_480x800.xml file from the Windows\LockScreen directory, so we can investigate it?
With many thanks of cause to the great magician and chef Miri.
(I'm new here so I don't know if this request is breaking any unspoken code. But then again, to quote Miles Davis: so what )
Here u go...
the same file is used with 6.5 and 6.5.x builds. the issue is how the sys autohides it.

Miri's modification seems to handle it in the xml file. Haven't investigated it, but for starters it is 24 kb, whereas the standard lockscreen file is 18 kb.
However, the file posted above works like a charm.
Hey guys, it won't let me delete the original file in windows or let me overwrite it, i'm using Resco and file explorer HELP PLEASE!
Hi
My ROM has some tweaks and extras that needs a soft reset after initialization wth 1st boot. How can I make a automatic reboot just the 1st time the phone boots up?
If you're using RunCC, edit your *.rgu/app.reg accordingly:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\RunCC]
"ResetDevice"=dword:00000001
How can I know if I use runCC?

Problem With add2config Packages?
Hey, I had this problem before where all my packages that I cook in with the add2config method (so they can be removed by the user) aren't installing / aren't being set as default...
These are the following packages that I have the problem with:
BG4All Tabs (add2config) - Doesn't appear in the rom at all
A 6.5.5 Theme (add2config) - Isn't default but is in the list of themes
A 6.5.5 Taskbar (add2config) - Doesn't appear in the rom at all
All this was solved when I changed the runcc rgu file: e110406e-9af4-4cdc-932d-255ac9636f4d like everyone says to "ResetDevice"=dword:00000001
But since rebuilding my kitchen im having the same problem, Ive changed the reset device to 00000001 but still none of the add2config packages are working has anyone got any solutions?
Thanks

I'm not sure anyone will be able to answer that without being totally lucky if you don't post your packages or build-log or at least the add2config text files. Anway, maybe you already do this, but if you don't, then start doing this: after cooking, look in the dump and make sure everything is there. Also, look at config.txt to make sure all the add2config's were compiled properly. This will save you the flash-disappointment.
Ok theres my buildlog, my run cc rgu file and one of my add2config files Thanks.

The add2config.txt file is in the wrong folder; it needs to go in the \files sub-folder of the EXT. Put it in there, and you're problems should go away.
Edit: although, I'm seeing this in the build-log:
Found: 1 Extra Info on a Package... Populating config.txt with: CAB: \Windows\B4ALL.cab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and this:
Processing "B4ALL.cab" as file

So, I guess I don't really understand why the .cab isn't installing. I've never used runcc before, so I can't help you on what may be going on with it. I guess it's ok to put the add2config in the main folder, since it looks like it's compiling correctly.
2nd Edit: all the cab is doing is adding a couple of manila files; you should just dump the two files and put them in an EXT and have them over-write the stock manila files. You don't need to run this as a cab, as far as I can tell.
You need to fix this (minor, but might as well do it):
Failed to parse value name HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\start\Tools\Format SD Card.lnk!!!

(disregard my last post on the other thread, I didnt realise you had replied )
Thanks for the response, yeah the add2config file has worked before in the root of the packages, seems something else it buggy :/
Yeah that cab may be so, but that was an old one just as an example, I really need to get it working for this mortscript thing we discussed on the other thread..
Maybe we could discuss more tomorrow ? Perhaps you could have a nosey in my kitchen or something, I know I should work this stuff out myself, but as a chef still in training, its quite difficult to know what to look for, and help from peopel like you is priceless
Thanks
I apologize if this has been covered, but I can't find specific info with my search terms.
I'm cooking for Rhodium, WVGA, WM 6.5.x sys 21682. My base ROM is ATT's stock august 30th 2010 ROM. Using OSKitchen Zero, latest release.
Basically, I can't get any version of sense to work. I've tried cooking 2016, 2018, and 2019, and can't get any of them to work. The problem is that when I try to import the EXT packages with OSKZ, I get an error stating: "The OEM package you've selected doesn't seem to be valid..."
So, I thought maybe it was just being strange. So I placed the packages manually into the kitchen and tried to build the ROM and platform builder would hang and I'd have to cancel the process.
Any tips tricks or ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Where are you sourcing your sense files from?
Have you got the additional dependencies covered (ie starticonloader?)

I'm not sure what you mean by sourcing exactly, but on my PC they're located on my desktop, and I've also tried placing them straight into my kitchen without using the GUI to do it.
I got the files from a post here on XDA.
Yeah, I believe I have all the additional dependencies as well.
I've been reading and it looks like I have to modify the app.dat file and some other files?

OK so you got them from XDA - as I am assuming you are not using the At&T standard ones. (that was what I meant).
The ones I got from XDA were already CFC'd and were already in EXT format not OEM and so did not need any importing as such, just copying into the directory.
I did not need to modify anything - cannot remember the thread I got them from tho.
I will try and have a look, but my kitchen is now such an amalgamation of packages that I couldn't be sure where it all came from.
Ahhhh ok, i was confused because it says's import, ext package then it asks for an oem location.
Ok, with that cleared up, place straight into kitchen, gotcha. How many dependencies are there, can you recall? I think i have them all but I want to make sure.
Thanks a lot!

Try looking inside the corrupt modules, then look in some clean ones, and figure out what doesn't belong. It should be obvious.

Edit: one last question. It's killing me finding all the WVGA dependencies for this package, they're all vga is appears. This is what I'm using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797602
and when it lists the "required packages" when I download it it's labled VGA, not WVGA, and I think that'll be a problem. Will it?
Right, cooking sense is not my strongest point so I will probably leave it to others to take it further, but
Modules vs files - you need one or the other I think. Look up recmod and reversemod.
I just used a set of Manila files uploaded and CFC'd by someone from the latest official LEO ROM.(By Patensas I think) and maybe updated the HTC framework as well.

I have never had to recmod any of the sense files.
What you need to do is delete the files (ie the .dll) within the module. The kitchen will use the module to create the file on the device, it does not need the file as well. Hence the kitchen is giving the warning.
I think.
Hi, just re read your first post.
Could you confirm you have done the following:
Dumped the ATT base rom and rebuilt using just that with the EXTs that came from it, flashed it, and checked it worked? (So you should have had a working Sense in that) as per the Oskitchen instruction set?
If there have been problems with that, try ticking the box next to recmod on the Phone Canvas Enhancement package. I think there was an issue with the ATT ROM around this.

Yeah, I did that. Here's the weird part though. That worked the first time. But after having all these difficulties, seeing as I haven't made much real progress, I rebuilt my kitchen. Then it wouldn't work. I would get the exact same runtime error, eventhough it worked before and I've installed all the libraries.
So, as of now the problem lies somewhere with my kitchen. I'm trying to troubleshoot it right now.
Any ideas as to why that might be? I've tried the FAQ's in the OSK thread and haven't fixed the problem :/
Regards
Smith
No sorry.
I had some kitchen problems when upgrading from oskitchen 1.32 (tried to completely reorganise my EXTs at the same time and it went horribly wrong), so went back to 1.32 to sort it out and will upgrade in due course.
If platform rebuilder crashes during the build then you dont need to waste time flashing.
Disable all EXTs and build and then add them in blocks till you identify what is causing the crash.
If it crashes with no EXTs then try the original sys, and if no joy reimport the rom?
Are all the recommended packages ticked for Recmod?

I can't help you on Sense, as I don't use it, but why would you recmod anything? That's a bad idea. If you have a 6.5 kernel, use it.

Actually recmodding ATT Phone Canvas fixed the problem.
I was able to generate the ROM image with sense 2017 cooked in, but sense won't launch now. "Tap to Start Sense" so I'm double checking dependencies, exe and dll files as we speak.
Thanks a lot for all the help!

So i got sense 2017 to at least load. now, however, none of the softkeys work, and tapping on a message in the message tab doesn't work.
