Hello there.
Well, i'm trying to cook a new version of my ROM (French version for the artemis) , and i saw on Faman release that there's no RGU files...
He seems to have merged all of them into the default.hv and user.hv (sys\metadata).
I've tried to do the same and merge all of my rgu files in default.hv and user.hv but phone doesn't boot anymore.
And when i look in my kitchen\temp folder, there is the two default.hv and user.hv files but when converting them back to rgu they are empty ?!
So i don't really understand what buildos do ?! Because each modification in sys\metadata hives files doesn't seem to have any effect on final ROM...
I have tried to copy this files just before launching createrom.bat but mobile still doesn't boot...
Have you got any idea on how to do that ?
Thanks
Best regards
Does Visual Kitchen use *.hv files to build the registry or are boot.hv , use.hv , default.hv ignored?
In what order are *.hv, rgu, *.reg processed?
And which folders are processed first? ROM>SYS>OEM>EXT
I know that *.provxml are processed after first boot and *.xml have to be invoked during customization.
It seems that EVK uses the rgus to make the hives thats why you dont need to play with them anymore.... then it tooks the XIP hv's and add them too
First XIP then OEM then SYS then EXT and EXT are arranged alphabetically so if you want a reg to be changed at the end of the cooking process you need to rename the EXT pkg with ZZZZ_blablabla
OK. Thank you. I will try and delete *.hvs then and see what happens...
delete them?
I didnt say you can delete them, even worst idea is to delete the OEM or and XIP ones...
I just said you dont need to touch them anymore
Haha..
@Diagrafeas
.hv files are rebuilded during cooking process they contain all registry.
It depends which kitchen you use but the packages have a file with a extension *.reg or *.rgu
You can open them with a tekst editor but if you edit them you need to save them in UTF8 and first
line must be 'REGEDIT4' (without the quotes) and a empty last line.
Make only small edits and test because registry files are very sensitive, if you forget one ' your whole kitchen won't work.
If you edited succesvol and it works as it should be I recommend to make a backup of your kitchen before you edit the next one, this way your always save.

OK I will not delete then, but i have another question.
Inside OEMXipKernel there is a boot.hv and a boot.rgu.
The original ones had the same keys.
But now i have made some changes inside boot.rgu.
Which keys will be used boot.hv or boot.hv ones?
EVK recompiles the boot.hv from the boot.rgu, so if you tweak the boot.rgu, you're good to go. You don't need to rebuild the boot.hv yourself.
OK. Thank you all.
hello to all will u please anyone can help me to how we cook with extendir...i stuck with this step :
"Modify the order of all other file system filter drivers in your boot.rgu. Personally I change order 0 to 10, 1 to 11, 2 to 12, etc.
Modify your boot_ms.rgu (also in XIP) if you cooked encfilt.dll/mencfilt.dll in your rom.
Rebuild your boot.hv and port the boot.rgu, boot_ms.rgu and boot.hv in to your XIP. "
wil u please anyone can explain about the order of boot.rgu
thanks to all

When you look at the boot.RGU files you'll find some keys in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\filters\" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\filters\" sections.
Those keys have a value inside whose name is "Order", you have to find all of those keys and if there is any that has the order 0 (usually they all start from 1) you have to move all the values up by 1. (0 becomes 1, 1 becomes 2, etc.), then you can add the ExtenDir entries:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\filters\Extendir]
"Order"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\filters\Extendir]
"Dll"="Extendir.dll"
"Order"=dword:0
If you have problems understanding this upload the RGU file and I'll do the changes for you.

I looked and all the orders seem to be fine, you just have to add the two entries at the end
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\filters\Extendir]
"Order"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\filters\Extendir]
"Dll"="Extendir.dll"

If that doesn't work try the boot.rgu I attached where I added those two entries and also moved all the others entries' order up by 1.

That is the easier part. How do you add the file extendir.dll to xip?? Thats the problem I am facing and for which there seems to be no answer.

If you're using platformrebuilder or a platformrebuilder-based kitchen it's just a copy&paste of the module inside the OEMXIPKernel folder. I have no idea about others but if they use XIPPort is going to be a mess.

2mb or 4 mb cache 1.06 version. Please cook it with extendir in msxipkernel, because my kitchen does not have the provision to port oemxipkernel.
I forgot to mention, I will be cooking for wm6.1.

wm6.1
Can I use this to cook for wm6.1 rom? I edited my post a few minutes back.
And one final request. Could you please upload your whole kitchen(pre-port) to some sites so that I can use it to build xip for future extendir release. Bugging you every now and then would be very annoying to you.

I have no idea if it could work on WM6.1 but I supposed yes.
I used a clean oskitchen install, imported the latest leo rom, added the file to the MSXIPKernel folder and enabled the setting to halt after platformrebuilder runs to get the xip.bin from its folder. No need to upload the whole package just for that because you can take any wm6.1 rom for HTC phones (the first 6.1 rhodium ROMs are fine) and import it.
I cannot use it
I cannot use it. It says the dsm file is missing

Platformrebuilder strips the DSM informations from the files to make the ROM faster so I can't do much about that. All I can tell you is that you can use xipport to dump another xip, then click build packages, add extenddir.dll+txt from my XIP dumped with xipport in the files\MSXIPKernel folder, click undo, click realloc P, click write maps and rebuild the xip.bin to have one with extenddir that your kitchen will probably accept.
mine
Here is the xip from my kitchen. Will it be possible to use it in your kitchen and then add the extendir dll. That way I can use it directly in my kitchen

I've attached the xip with extenddir in msxipkernel to this post.
BTW No it can't be used without having the full ROM; I had to do the work by hand editing the DSM and removing the debug libraries.
If you can upload an original ROM for your phone plus the kitchen you are using I can look if I can add support to oskitchen: since it's a 6.1 phone it should probably work fine.
you can put it anywhere in the xip, just remember that the module wont work in xip you have to use the .dll file.
Here it is

Hi all!
I searched a lot on that topic an coocked loads of roms (for XPERIA/Kovsky/Venus) for testing purpose...But I cannot find a solution for that.
All my recently cooked ROMS (several Builds) are missing root certificates, I only have each two from HTC and Sony Ericsson in Setings. What went Wrong? where to find them? I thought to have found them in the following provxml's which actually is not the case I found out... (see below)
<old> Here is my problem. Build 23541 is seemingly (at least for me) missing root certificates. I managed to figure out they are included in a provxml called mxip_wpc_3.provxml. So I copied that one from a official LEO ROM (Build 21***) and did not change anything. After flash I can find it located in \Windows\ but the certificates are not appearing in Settings.
Now I now that provxmls need to be in UTF-8 format and set to read only, hidden and system. That ist tha case with this specific file. So what's wrong? </old>
I hope that someone can help me with that topic cause I have no other idea now.
Thanks A lot guys!
Hilaireg put together a really good tutorial om provxml's. Look it up, it may help. And make sure NET CF is cooked in (just a guess).
I guess you don't have that provxml added to any of dsm files . Just use this tool and add it to any of dsm files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523139
You can also use xml parser to check if file is good, for example Serna Editor.

Do you happen to know if that is needed too with platformrebuilder?
I've never worked with it but my guess is that you won't have to manually add provxml to dsm files.

Thnkas as well, Layout is probably good, as the are woring in that LEO ROM.
I will look a bit deeper in your link, this sounds like the right way.
Are there other sugestions?

Tryed that now...But it did not help! Considering the xml is good (as it is working in a leo ROM) what else opportunities are there?
EDIT: Tried to import the provxml's (mxip_wpc_2.provxml and mxip_wpc_3.provxml) using AdvancedConfig but with no luck. Wondering...
Rename the file ZZZmxip_wpc_3.provxml and try again. EVK processes .provxml files in alphabetical order. If a directory referenced in the above .provxml is not created by a previously processed .provxml, then the modifications will not be applied.
I guess you are referring to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707717
From what I understand (probably very little) your provxml got executet too early as one shortcut was not yet present in the startmenu, so it stopped, right? With my files they do not depend on other files / reg values as these are just certificates...anyway, lets see
I will do so now, but I also tried to build a clean (no EXT) ROM from 23563 Rollup thread by Da_G and had the same problem! This is starting to get starnge...Will report in about 30 mins.
EDIT: Renaming did not help. Starting to get frustrated...
EDIT2: Even converting that provxml to a cab did not work. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Yes that thread, some ppl said that you need to edit the OEMs dsm where you add the provxml and add the provxml into it, dunno if it works... another one is... when a provxml fails in a corrupted line the next lines dont be executed but the before lines were set... so maybe the dirty way can works for you... if not works... your provxml is wrong in that thread many ppl said something about using a tool to see if the provxml is ok try them too
the dirty way to make it is... ad the provxml lines in your provxml to any other provxm... remember to keep the same attributes in that provxml.

trying the dirty way now.
I checked the provxml using a provxml2cab converter which usualy gives an error on bad files. And I am using Notepad++ which makes chacking quite easy. Than again, it comes from a official ROM and was not modified...
EDIT: Nope, not included!
what does that provxml has inside? some icons arrangement? or shortcuts?
Root certificates. both are attached below.
Are you using oskitchen alpha? There have been some problems with provxml not running (hence the alpha) but alpha5 should be fine.
Not sure? Its the NewUI Version and one of the last ones with the old folder structure (I think 1.27 or so)

It was a problem specific only to the 1.31 alphas. Make sure the provxml files have the three attributes set (hidden, read-only and system), that could be the cause of the issue.
I am pretty sure the attributes are stet as you say.
If dirty way doesn't work, then I'm pretty sure it's something wrong with provxml file.

The only real way to find out is to set oskitchen to stop before imgfs generation or setting LZX and going quickly in the platformrebuilder temp\dump folder while it's generating IMGFS and using the ATTRIB command on the files in the dump folder to see what attributes those end up with. If all those three attributes aren't set the files won't run.
I'm pretty sure I've had provxml file with no attributes and it worked perfectly, but maybe I'm wrong .
The attached .provxml will not execute. It's supposed to associate icons with folders in the start menu, but it's just not working. It is totally unmodified from the Rhodium S2 ROM. The directories are there as the initflashfiles.dat file is unmodified and the folders are in the start menu. Anyone care to help?
Your file is fine so I guess that you have the same issue I had .

Maybe I'm wrong, so if you already have this provxml added to any of dsm files, we'll look for more reasons. One more question, do you try to cook this into ROM or execute from Advanced Configuration Tool?
It's cooked in. The package is directly from the Rhodium S2 ROM, so I don't quite understand why it's not executing. I'm thinking about putting it in another OEM folder and seeing if that will help. Heck I'm lost, and about to turn it in for the night.
As I wrote, try adding it manually to dsm file in that OEM folder, this should help you, if this won't help, then I'm out of ideas.
Anyway, you can just add content of that provxml to another provxml, it's dirty way but probably the easiest one.
This happens because the messenger.lnk have not been created when this provxml is executed and it fails.
So just rename the provxml to mxipupdate_zprojectdefault_a_000.provxml
Notice the "z" ahead of the project.
This trick will put the provxml after the mxipupdate_windowsliveim_1.provxml, so the messenger.lnk will have been created and the provxml will run just fine.
But he said that provxml isn't excuted at all, I'm out of ideas . Anyway, it's worth to give your idea a try.

the provxml isn´t executed on my rhodium as well. but renaming to mxipupdate_zzzzprojectdefault_a_000.provxml
does work for me.
as the posters above me wrote:
the problem seems to be the messenger package which includes another *provxml file which should be prozessed BEFORE mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml but it isn´t! also *.provxml aren´t prozessed if there´s a failure inside. when you remove a program and you don´t clear the line in the *.provxml the file would not me prozessed.
this problem is related to platformrebuilder breaking something, you can pm airxtreme for info, it seems that he solved this problem in his wonderful kitchen
steph
Provxml can be launched but they stops at the line it find a problem so it seems that it doesnt works.
Platform rebuilder can reads DSM in EVK? or just in OsK? or none?
Renaming the .provxml solved the issue. Man, the start menu looks good now! Thanks!
Great, I wouldn't think about renaming on my own . Anyway, it seems that those provxml files are processed in alphabetical order, right?
everything is alphabetical order processed in platform rebuilder based kitchens ¬¬

Hi Airxtreme - Thanks for developing the kitchen! Its really great. But i just recently moved to osK Zero from ervius. Previously in ervius i didnt even bother to add provxmls in any dsm. I dont quite understand DSM management fully, but i did add the provxmls in DSM of my ext package (ext package contains my custom icons for start menu and the provxml to add reg entries).
When i get back home, i will try to rebuild the ROM with older version of kitchen and report back. Currently im using v1.31Beta3.
p/s: i had trouble with theme provxmls as well, finally i had to put all the theme files in Operatorpkg, and put the xml entries in HTC's provxmls (the one named HTC_100) for it to work.
