well general, depends on the OS you are using..
if you have rom version 1.6.x.x it won't work easy yet.
the pre 1.6.x.x roms are quite simple, download totalcommander for ppc, install it, run it, in the adress-bar type "\extended_rom\" without the " " 's, and voila, there they are..
good luck..
ps.
the search button on top of this page would give the oppertunity to search for words as extended rom in de wizard forums.. :wink:

Ok
Thanx works fine with TC
Just a last question, all cabs i place in extended_rom will install automatically after hard reset ?
'cause I saw i had a autorun.exe file in there and some sutomization cabs that install after Hardreset ???
Thanks

There's a config file in there too (can't remember it's name off hand, but it's fairly obvious). This has a list of the cab files to install after a hard reset. I guess you'd need to add your cab files to that list as well as copying them to extended ROM.

depends, some have a config.txt file, if you open this one and edit it to your
needs, the files you put into it will be installed after hard reset, if you
set the right parameters from the txt file.
other roms have the autorun.exe wich installs all the files in the extrom.
i'm not sure anymore if this is right, but i believe that if you rename your
cab's like this:
applicationX.cab -> Default_applicationX.cab
it will install without any problems.
if you have problems with unsigned cabs, you can use the signed.patch
wich can be found on the ftp.

On my Cingular 8125 the extended ROM is write protected, does anyone know how do I remove the write-protection?

Only way around is to flash an older rom into your handset..

if it's that easy to get into extended rom, then why do people release the unlockers for extrom? i don't get it.

you can access the files on the extended rom, but you can't edit any of the information there. you have to flash a new extended rom image for any changes to take effect. I think those that are looking at the extended rom unlockers is for a different purpose. I think I read somewhere that it let some people use the extended rom space as extra storage (~10 megs), but it messed up applications on the phone, especially the camera.
in general, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to unlock the extended rom. most rom builders look like they are trying to learn how to edit this properly to add it o their rom kitchens.

can one's extended rom go curropt?
after i heard about this, i went into extended rom just to see if it works.
and it did. i exited total commander and started to gather my anti theif program to get installed.
now I go back into extended rom, and everything became gibberish!
and when i click on something it says "error 3 Changing to dir!"
WTF is going on!
can someone help me out?

[PROJECT]-(NEW ANY BUILD ) Windows mobile in Dutch

DUTCH Langauge Pack Windows mobile 6.5.X.
NEW Windows mobile 6.5 (21xxx)
Looks like it works with the most recentbuilds
21901
21903
21905
23563
23566
23568
23569
99% chance that it works on older and newer builds but the one above are 100% working.
.
Features
- Complete system translation
- Included complete manilla translation (incl facebook and documents tab)
I use it succesfully on my phone now.
Tutorial
Note use resco file explorer.
You can get 7 days fully fuctional trial here
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp
unhide system files by menu-options-general-second tab browser and uncheck all boxes
1. Fist find out wich windows mobile you got if you have startmenu key and X keys at the bottom you got windows mobile 23xxx so take that zip.
You got the keys at the top of the screen you got windows mobile 21xxx
so take the right version below.
2.Extract the zip
3.Copy the ''put in windows folder'' to your SD card.
Use a filemaneger and copy all the files in ''put in windows folder'' in
Windows on your system. Make sure no files are HIDDEN also hidden proctected system need to be possible to view. (on pc and phone)
You can unhide files here go to windows explorer (verkenner) >extra>mapopties> tab view (tab weergave)> unchek beveiligde bestuuringsysteem bestanden verbergen+ Scorll to down to the bottom and select ''verborgen bestanden mappen en stations weergeven''> click apply (toepassen)
4. Make a copy of the start menu and put it in the windows folder with the name ''Startmenu'' (NO SPACES).
In the Startmenu map you find two folders Settings and programs
change this to Programma's and Instellingen
Make also a copy from the map startup and rename it to opstarten.
5. Apply fixe's if avaible look under the post the large zip always the newest include all fixes except compass sinds this is a random issue. (So you don't need the wifi-router translation that is just for people who used the old package before this.
6. Install the cab in the zip. (this changes the language in the registery) .
7. Power off the device and after that start it up again
8. Do the dance baby your is in Dutch
Note: you can translate the Icons in the start menu if you want.
Note: The hole package includes some no needed files but it is a few (500 Kb or something like that) so no worries . And if they needed for a program they are there
Known not translated things yet.
-Sometimes a little graphical ugly problem (text is to long)
For the rest everything translated quickgps, office etc...
Thx to merten3000's who created a rodium rom with sense 2.5
I could extract his langauge files.
He was one of the only people who used a 6.5.X rom in dutch
Thx to the creater of this thread who helped me out.
Thx to dutty
And don't forget Enjoy it.
Fix : Digital Compass fix (if you can't set my location)

Thanks! Great job.

Thanks, i'll try this

Hello, any spanish pack?
Thanks

Well at the moment I have no plans to make a spanisch one this was just for my self and I wanted to share so the rest could enjoy to. Actually it's boring work to do you just have to found a spanisch rom get the .mui files out with the spanish local code put it in your windows folder. And change the register and apply the tweaks for spanisch.

How I get spanish files in .nbh? With any program?

Take a look here

You can just put the spanisch file in windows folder. But you could also use an editor but that is more complexed.
here you can find the spanisch code you want
http://www.science.co.il/Language/Locale-Codes.asp
Then you have to find a spanisch rom and extract the files with your code with is de
Hexade code look at the site wich I posted above wich hexade code you need.

does this work with 21903 version?
i'll try this and then let you know

Thank you very much

Well I don't know exactly but you can try. No shot is no hit.
But be warned in the worst situation you have to hard reset the phone. But there is also a possibility that is gonna work.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=307034&d=1270904907
no worries if you get virus warning it is false alarm. If you start it up you get a lot of error messages just click ok... after that programa wil start up and you will see the module to file option.

New information looks like the files work on almost evrybuild. I will make a windows mobile 6.5.5 soon. So its compataible with almost any windows mobile 6.5.X build. I will also make systemfiles only versions.

Thanks my friend it works perfect here

Just tested it on a ROM from dutty ''Duttys_Leo_Sense_2.5_5.23568.5.5.0_1.77_Hybrid_V3_WWE'' and i cant find the map ''Startmenu'' only ''Start menu''
i guess its because its a ''23568'' ROM.
And also getting a view errors at copy pasting from the map ''put in windows folder''
Sorry voor mijn Engels, grammatica is niet mijn beste kant

New WIFI Router translation
Look at start post.
I found the file it was called under CMInternetsharing I will upload it. If you put this in windows folder your wifi router will be translated to.
BTW have anyone problems with the dialer I got small translation bugs feedback please.

after doing all the steps, the rom is in dutch...
BUT.. i can't open the startmenu.. wenn i click on it, the screen freezes for a few seconds and nothing happened...
using the newest kwbr rom

KWBR rom is based on Windows Mobile 6.5 OS (5.2.21901) not 6.5.X this version is for Windows Mobile 6.5.X you can change the registery keys back if possible to get enlgisch and a fully working phone. My plans are to make a 6.5 version soon (in a few days).

hmmzz.. did a hard reset.. because i can't open the startmenu anymore, so i can't reach regedit or total comander...
would be great if you make an version for windows 6.5 because i don't like the 6.5.X versions....

You could reach it if sense 2.5 was installed you can make a quicklink on the hometab just for the next time if your startmenu dont work.

can a manilla file stop automatic time update?

hello chef central
i have two problems with rebuilding my kitchen
the first problem is when i go to file explorer and choose a page where you could scroll down and reached the lowest point it went a little further and then bounced back to the end(hope you get what i mean as i cant phrase it better)
i lost my kitchen due to a faulty hard drive so i am rebuilding it and now i lost that option:S
im using the same tweaks as i had a backup of my regtweaks so that aint the problem
im also using the same htcscroll package as the rom where it worked so that aint the problem either i think
does some one know where to look or what to change to make this happen again
the second problem is automated time and date
when i cook a clean rom(with all tweaks in it) i get oobe and when thats finished it gets me to the homescreen
within a minute it downloads the date/time and weather data
when i cook a full with visual mods it doesnt work anymore:s
so im guessing its a manilla file that is holding back on it
how is it possible that a manilla file prevents to download date/time settings? and does some one has a idea wich file it could be?
edit: and the last question
when i create a dutch full rom it says it has 645 modules and when i make the same packages in wwe it says 636 modules:S
there arent any modules hidden in language packs right?
edit2: found the difference in modules
in the syslanguages the wwe has less files then the nld
someone know a explenation why its this way as everything works like it should in wwe and you wouldnt think it would if things are missing:s

you are just excellent...you provided answer for your own question!
Seriously, I am glad you solved it though..

to come back to my own question i think for the date/time thing i whas to quickcause i have seen it working now a couple of times on my full rom:-o
so i think a manilla file wont stop it
i thought it whas kinda starnge as timezonefix package dont have manilla files in it
i thought it maybe whas a manilla file as i have transparancies for date and calander things on the homescreen and thats why i thought that maybe whas the problem
i still havent found the problem for th bouncing at the end of a list when scrolling in the fle explorer
i do noticed that when i hold a sec and then try it i have the bounceing thingie:S
probably a reg setting not good

can someone tell me wich package is for file explorer?
i search in the kitchen directory for file explorer doesnt give any results

hmmm nobody can tell me wich package is for file explorer?
still busy with the bounce when reaching the end of a list in file explorer
i have it everywhere except there

A little help for a budding Chef!

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.
Paul

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.
