[SOLVED]How to port 0409 to 2.14 0404 rom? - Windows Mobile

I'm new at cooking rom, sanjeev help me alot but there are certain things that i dont understand. Here is one, sanjeev told me that it is better to use 2.14 as base rom if i want to cook but the 2.14 stock rom was not a WWE. How can I port the 0409 to the 2.14? What files do I need to alter? and also the build that I want to use was the 23569_0409. Please advise.
Thanks,
Pongskie
P.S. Special thanks to Sanjeev for helping me.. if you want to try his ROMS just visit his VBN thread in the HD2 Rom Development..

Every package have a language folder and your one have 0404. Find 0409 MUI files from WWE ROM packages and put whole folder in each package. You can delete 0404 folders or leave them alone. When you want to cook, select 0409 language so MUI files will cook from 0409 folders.

So that's all? I have to alter all the 0404 packages with the 0409? What about the OEM it was 0404 there, should i replace that too? I have tried replacing it but what happened was the fonts in the welcome screen doesnt showed up. All i see are blank buttons etc. Thank you so much Sir TAEL for helping. I know it still a long way to go before I can cook a nice rom but I'm willing to learn every bit of it that i need to.

Yes, use the OEM_Lang_0409 from another build in the OEM folder. Also do this:

Bluetooth icon in settings appears as {{8008}} [This is caused by some sneaky language files in OEMDrivers. Look for btwmhlp.0404.htm and replace it with btwmhlp.htm from an 0409 pack, and BtRez.dll.0404.mui with BtRez.dll.0409.mui]

Thanks mate! I'll try this as soon as I'm home (still @ the office right now..)
I'm not rushing in learning how to cook a nice rom. I want to learn it step by step. I'm so in to this! I'm willing to learn this even in it's hardest ways.

Thanks millski and sir TAEL! I did it! The 2.14 boot with everything in english! Thanks for your help guys!

Help with 23112 port for the Blue Angel

I posted a thread asking for help on cooking for older devices, but no one seemed to have an answer for it. I figured I would give this thing another shot and the device gets past the first screen, but it never gets out of the second boot splash. I have attached the kitchen that I am using with SYS already ported.
Without further ado, here is my attempt to a kitchen (based off on sun_dream's 28230 kitchen)
http://hotfile.com/dl/36427122/da04c1f/HTC_BlueAngel_WM6.5.3_23112.rar.html
Any help will be appreciated!
did you recmod any of the files in sys? or ext? ive never cooked for blue angel but im sure it doesnt have a native 6.5 nk.exe and that means you need to recmod some files for kaiser i always recmodded my whole ext folder, and all modules in browsing, browsingcore, browsingie...give that a try and see if it helps

Hey twopump,
I tried recmodding the modules that you described there (which I also saw on another thread that you replied to). As far as the ones in the EXT folder (my kitchen has a OEM folder, which I think is the same), they were all recmodded by sun_dream. BTW, you are absolutely correct about the BA not having a native 6.5 nk.exe.... that is usually the downfall of a 5 year old device , but I know that it can be done since there are newish roms out there for the BA (28230 being one of them).
There is no way you can look at my kitchen and tell me what's wrong is there, is there? (I guess the answer is no, but it is always worth asking).
Thanks for the help.
ok i took a look at your kitchen, and im pretty sure i know whats wrong. the first thing i did was open up your sys folder to check if you had recmodded browsing, browsingie, browsingcore, and you hadnt they all still had the modules in them....except you didnt even have browsingie in your rom only the 0409 pkg lol. then i noticed that you deleted the netcf pkg from sys as well, that will cause your rom not to boot. here is my solution to your problems, start over with a fresh complete sys, only delete the things that arent needed, then convert every module in browsing, browsingcore, browsingie to a file. make sure you have netcf and cook you should have a booting rom

Thanks for the advice. I honestly cannot put browsingie and netcf at the same time simply because the BA only has 32 mb for rom and the kitchen essentially errors out before getting to the end. The other issue is that the rom will not even boot if I take either one of them out. I did recmod all that you suggested, but still nothing...

I would appreciate all the help that I can get . The kitchen that I posted is a modified version of a 28230 kitchen by sun_dream. Basically, I ported the XIP and the SYS folders from 23112 into the 28230 kitchen. Originally, I had included the same exact components in the SYS that sun_dream had included in his kitchen (his is fully functional btw), so I am at the point where I am running out of ideas on what I could be doing wrong. I know that you cook for the Nike, so the way of cooking will be completely different, but some of the core knowledge is still the same. Any suggestions are welcome

No, these are "old style kitchens" I am pretty sure that EVK will not work with these kind of roms (they are of the nbf type and not nbh). If you would like to send me your SYS, I would not mind taking it for a spin.

I would give atry to Recmod all EXT packages as TPC said.
Your FWUPDATE and SQM in sys folder are dummy or M$ originals?
You need absolutly Net and Browsingie as TPC said ,at least delete some useless apps in OEM packages.
I made a 23112 SYS within only the needed and already recmoded plus the dummy fwupdate and sqm, you must put them in an EXT folder or convert them in OEM.

I believe I have the real FW and SQM folders in there. It is truly weird though, if you take a look at the original sys folder of the 28230 kitchen, sun_dream has no netcf nor browsingie in there, and he has no recmodded files in the browsing folders either, yet his kitchen spits out a working rom...
At this point, I am beginning to think that my xip might be bad...

You dont need netcf to build a ROM. Ofcourse most of our programs these days wont run unless you install it after...
I do agree that it doesnt make sense...

NetCF can be installed post flash either by hand or some customization method (sdcustomization, uc, sashimi, etc)
Let me go a little deeper into the world of the BA. The process is pretty much the same as it is with all devices... flash a rom, hard reset, and reboot. Depending on the packages that I am adding to the SYS, the rom will either get stuck while hard resetting (which is the same as getting stuck in the tri-colored screen (keep in mind that for the BA, the tri-colored screen is *not* bootloader, but the first bootsplash)), or will go through the first screen and get stuck in the second bootsplash (here is the kicker, if you connect the device to a computer, Activesync will see it and try to connect, which means that some of the windows OS components are loading...)
I am finishing charging up my BA and I will flash deep's SYS and will let you all know what comes out of it
If I look in your common folder I see Chome is still in, that's a huge memory eater, not sure what you are cooking and if you need it.
Another thing; if I take out NETCF in my rom device setup starts looping in a continue circle and I get a warning about AutoVer.exe.
I hope this is of any help.

How to update SYS

Here is a very very n0000000000000000b question for Chef Central, sorry if I annoy the masters .
I have Installed EVK 1.8.2 as well as osKithcen 1.25 and also dumped HTC Asia ROM (official) for my Touch2 T3320 its 21854 Build.
Now I want to make a ROM with a new build, so I have downloaded
SYS_23638_XIP.rar
SYS_23638_Common.rar
SYS_23638_96DPI_0409.rar

After unzipping the files, how should I incorporate them into my ROM using EVK (or osKitchen).
P.S. Please do not go by my number of posts, most of them were used in appreciating the great work from chefs of Vox & Gene.

I guess they are not compatible with OSKitchen, I tried one of them using Import Sys option, and it said that it is not a valid dump to parse.
Any idea ?
OsKitchen? are you in oskitchen or ervius?
.dio file needs to be dumped with Xidump tool search there on the Da_G thread there are so many tools to dump .dio files

i think the OS kitchen import build feature is designed for the "rollup" builds...all pkgs inside a single folder. the ones you tried are divided into language, dpi, ect for ervius visual kitchen. all you have to do is open each of those folders and copy/paste all of them into one single folder, then run the import on OS kitchen i think it should work.
Are you in Erivius Kitchen or OS Kitchen

Well I have downloaded both, since I am new to this stuff.. want to check out both. And will ultimately adapt to the one which I am more comfortable with (i.e. get more help on )
Now I have downloaded these three files
21898_Rollup_All_Packages.7z

Now here is what I did:

2. Copied the SYS folder under EVK and renamed it to 21898.
3. Copied the content of the XIP folder to "C:\Ervius\Tools\xip.bin_new"
Now the problem is when I am trying to cook a ROM with this (Oh that kitchen is based on WM 6.5 Stock ROM (WWE ASIA) for Mega, it stops saying that I am using 6.1 NK.exe with 6.5 XIP and since the number of modules are too many, it will make an unbootable ROM. But I guess WM 6.5 have 6.5 nk.exe?
Where did I do wrong?
EDIT:
Even after deleting the existing kitchen and re dumping the stock wwe asia ROM, it is still saying that nk.exe is of 6.1!

1.- Unzipped all files and put them togheter is just for oskitchen import sys feature... if you want it in EVK style you must to use the packer.jar... is floating arround is friendly to use and easy.
you dont need to modify nothing in Tools folder... dont touch it

I have Touch2/ Mega T3320 (Not T3333), which have native 6.5 Kernel (it came preloaded with 6.5). The problem is I am constantly travelling ...

But ... what to do??

welcome to real XDA and late night and prepared to drink so much coffee
Finally finished your great tutorial... but the thing is even with the stock ROM of Mega as base, EVK says that nk.exe 6.1 and not 6.5.
I simply dumped the Stock ROM and recooked it, no changes nothing. BTW I did got the nbhutil.xml with mega settings though...
Is there any other setting that needs to be changed So that EVK recognizes the nk as a native 6.5???
P.S. clicking on the Native check box does have no effect
i guess it isnt another settings the kitchen reads what you have in the nk.exe
wich build is your Original rom?
is 6.5?

[Q]HOWTO cook multiple languages?

You may or may not know, for every ROM I release, I release my Kitchen along with it, more and more I'm being asked to support other languages... However problem I have I'm not sure how to...
Currently I'm utilising the vistang visual kitchen.
I have made several test ROMs for the Russian language, but I'm getting problems where not everything is in Russian, and a lot of blank spaces.
http://www.vbnfiles.com/xda/birkoffsjunk/Chucky/Test ROMs/
The process I've done so far is :
Downloaded and sorted Da_G's 21563 rollup
Replaced 'initflashfiles.dat' with the Russian version
Unchecked all non Russian langs in the sys (_skip)
Changed WWE to RUS in the kitchen options of vistang (ROM Complex tab)
Changed locale to 0419
Included reg file setting Russian regional settings
Am I doing something wrong? Missing a step or two?
Anyway, ideally I'd love to have this support European Langs, Russian, & Chinese within the one ROM/Kitchen.
TIA for any help!
Did you also port 0419 EXT side of things?
The system being set up for 0419, it won't read the 0409's in there, resulting in blank fields etc
Hi,
Also app.dat files in your EXT packages you need to direct to the language specific location. (example 'program files' WWE, 'programma bestanden' NLD etc..)
What I do is placing a app.dat for every language in the specific folder 0409, 0419 etc..
Some packages also have shortcut that direct to 'program files' (wwe example), you need to edit those shortcuts too so they direct to Windows. You can open the shortcuts with a texteditor.

Thanks for the replies, looks increasingly like a hell of a lot of work
Plan was to release a kitchen that makes it easier for people to builld ROMs for their own language... but the amount of work vs time available to me, pretty much rules out me doing this

I know what you mean
I started out like you, just the SYS etc and try to keep all apps in EN
I gave it up for now, as it's way too much work for 1 extra language and i'd want to do multiple ones

However the kitchen may be (i use OsK), it's still a lot of work to:
- Extract all xxxx language packs from sys and ext, for every language
- Edit every initflashfiles.dat to fit your rom, for every language
But hey once it's done it's done
Edit: in the end it was easier than i expected
i ported NL (0413) to my kitchen entirely (almost)
Path is like this: "\Windows\Startmenu\Programma's\..." but my own ext's i left to 0409 format and it'll still shows in the start menu didn't think it would
Well yea, but OsKitchen is easier for non chefs to use
I really like how users can say..... can you translate your new rom .... OMG Damn... so i tried to translate every MUI in the apps that i cant find another lang sme works some others... dont.
already done with almost all... but you know... new ext pkgs new translate app.dat, app.reg with paths, lnk's, muis, pics.... themes... and so much more....
so if you want to cook in multilangs i suggest you one thing... every EXT or OEM PKG you got translate it imediately cause then... you will have so much work to do

Adding HTC Sense to Custom Rom

Hi cookers!
I'm looking for a tutorial on how to add Sense to roms I've cooked.........
Is there in the forum or somewhere out there some kind of instructions?
Thanks a lot!!!
Hi,
Welcome to Chefs Central
Could you tell for what device you are cooking?
It's requested in the 'Welcome to chefs Central' anouncement here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=612
It's important because if people don't know what resolution your device is it's impossible to give you the correct answer.
Also some info about which kitchen you are using would help a lot.

Sorry
I'm cooking for the Xperia X1 with Ervius VK....... but I'm just trying the OSKitchen right now....
I'm trying to add Sense 2.5 to my roms (WM 6.5.5 build 23563 or 23568)
Allright so that's a wvga device, thank you
Do you know how to dump a rom?
If so dump the rom which contains the Manila you want to cook in.
After dumping search in dump for initflashfiles.dat and open this file with a text editor.
Search for all Manila entries and copy them in a new .txt document.
Save this document as app.dat to a location you remember.
Next copy all Manila packages into your kitchen.
app.dat you can copy to the Core package of Manila
Done

Very simple!! I'll try! Thanks a lot!
Ok man, offcourse some other packages are depended too but this is a good start.
Run through all the Manila entries of the corresponding packages in the app.dat you create and don't forget to add them all.
After that you can cook and check how everything works.
Probably you need to update a lot more packages but that's a case of trial and effort.
Other packages you probably need are:
StartIconLoader
Settings_Improvement
Contact_Utility_Engine
HTCFramework
Menu_Enhancement
Well that's just quesing, you need to find out yourself.
Before you start make a backup of your kitchen and then start updating the packages step by step and test.
A reminder, all the packages you add extra in your kitchen in most cases also have initflashfiles.dat entries, don't forget to check that.
You can do the same with them by placing a app.dat file in the package or adding the line to initflashfiles.dat in your kitchen.

Anybody knows if latest Manila files are the same for all devices?
If aren't the same which would be the best choice to port it to X1?

[SOLVED] Non-booting ROM - I'm doing it wrong

Greetings!
First off, I have little idea what I'm doing, this is my first attempt to create a custom ROM. I've searched around and can't seem to find a solution.
I've got an Xperia X1 and am using osKitchen.
The ultimate goal is to have a Japanese ROM with WM build 25369 with no additional UIs, i never use sense or whatever anyway, just the old today screen with cal, messaging, and time/date items.
I have:
Latest stock ROM for X1 (GENERIC_NAM_R3AA011)
23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409 (Just Eng)
initflashfiles-dat-all-langs-updated-feb-24-2010.zip
RUU_Diamond_eMobile_JPN_1.81.881.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.48.25.26_1.09.25.07_Ship.exe (6.1 JPN ROM)
Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65.zip
WM6550-23563-Rollup-All-Pkgs.rar (This has all languages)
Here's what I'm doing, anyone of them (or all) could be very wrong, hopefully I've done at least one thing right:
Imported X1 ROM for OEMDrivers, OEMApps, OEMOperators, oemversion, oem_dpi
Imported 6.1 JPN ROM for OEM Lang 411
-What i did here is i copied everything over from the JPN rom's oem 411 folder into the X1 OEM Lang folder, overwrote any conflicts, deleted any 0409 muis, and copied over the file from initflashfiles zip for 0411.
Replaced OEMXipKernel with the one from Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65.zip and selected custom XIP when making the rom with the one also found in that zip. Put the rest of the files (os.nb.payload, xip.bin, uldr.nb0, romhdr.bin) into the ROM Parts folder.
Then, I Used OS, OSFiles, MSXIPKernel, MSXIPKernelLTK from the 23569_MSXIPKernel_SYS_QVGA_WQVGA_VGA_WVGA_0409 zip, and the rest of the packages i used from the WM6550-23563-Rollup-All-Pkgs rar (because it had 0411 files).
I deleted dpi and lang folders that my device doesn't use (it uses 192dpi 480x800 and 0411) and built the ROM, flashed, and it shows the Sony Ericsson splash screen, and then goes black forever.
I know I must be doing something very wrong, any hints as to what?
Thanks
Pfff, what a big list,
Okay I did it this way, and I make my rom in 12 languages and they are all working.
1. Install oskitchen and import xperia rom
2. After finishing import 23563 build
3. Install another oskitchen and import diamond jpn rom
4. Copy the oem_lang 0411 and the ext packages to your kovsky kitchen be aware you put them in the right place.
5. Open the kovsky kitchen and select the Japanese language and select the packages you wanna use in your rom and you're done.
Regards,
Cool thanks!
That would be for 23563 though right? What if i wanted to use 23569 with 23563 packages? ....No real reason, higher number, figure it's better somehow....that even possible?

Just start with 23563, it's a good package and if you have a working rom you can alway's make the change.

If you extract the 23569 build, you only have to change the All and Common folder, but in your first post you where talking about a 25369 build and I didn't know what kind off build that was.
Succes buddy,
Make sure you have the proper wince.nls in your build. If you leave it out, the rom won't boot.

I used the one that came with the Kovsky-xip-bin-oemxipkernel-nk-exe-native-WM65 zip.

I don't think there is any difference between those 2 wince.nls but if you wanna be sure just use the one in the 23563/COMMON folder.

Hmm, I've got a wince.nls in:
Sources\Devices\HTC Kovsky\Profiles\default\OEMXipKernel
Sources\Windows Mobile Builds\23569\0411\WinCENLS_Lang_0411
and
Sources\Windows Mobile Builds\23569\Common\WinCENLS_WWE
they are all different sizes....should they all be the same? or only have one? or?
