[SOLVED]cookie home tab[SOLVED]

hello fellow chefs
i have a problem with cookie home tab 1.7
i made a ext from the cab just like i did with all cabs
i left out manillafull.xml just like cookie has stated in his post
but now when i cook a rom cookie mods dont show up
i see in the right top corner the pages indicator of the quicklink pages
and i see the manilla slider on the bottom and i can slide to all tab(all tabs give the scren they should give except home screen)
i also put in cht editor and when i make changes to the quicklinks the get changed
but i dont see time, date, weather, etc, etc of allt he things that is supposed to be shown on home tab
can some oen share a working ext for cookie home tab 1.7
thansk in advance
edit: i attach the package i use now and some pics

Here use my packages , I didnt remove manillafull.xml when I cooked it in. I put CHTEditor in aswell, youir going to want to change its locations in the app.dat if you dont want it going to tools.
Also you want to add a reg tweak so CHT finds CHTEditor in the manila softkeys:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHTE.Path"="\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\CHTEditor.exe"

Notes for ROM cooking:
Don't cook in the file "ManilaFull.xml". Originally it's a manila cache file that's generated on start up (based on the xml files in \windows\manilaxml\).
This file should never be cooked in because it will prevent changes to manila pages and menus.
The "ManilaFull.xml" in the cab is an empty file. It's only there to make manila regenerate it after install, because I've made changes to the home menu.
So make sure not to cook in that file in any form.

[SOLVED] Display is missing from Settings -> System

Dear Members,
1. I have lost the icon to access display settings in my cooked roms. Meaning i cannot access the screen alignment or clear type settings. I have tried adding reg below as well:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,7]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Screen.png"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I cant access clear type settings from manila as well.
2. My HTC Recorder fails to appear in my start menu as well. I have set it to appear under "Multimedia" folder in app.dat. I have checked spelling and the lnk is present in the files folder.
In effort to solve this prob, i have checked initflashfiles.dat and searched all provxml files to see if something is deleting it (used ervius kitchen editor function to search for "Recorder" string under all files and appears to be ok)
Also, i have tried 2 different builds of SYS - both boots up properly but with same problem. Please advice what i could be doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Details:
Base: TMOUS 2.13
SYS: 21903 / 21892
SOLUTION - Refer to post 3 by Braakie

nothing seems to be wrong... can you please post what are you using to change the registries.. i guess if you are not using UIA icons you will have some troubles.

1) In your \OEM\LEO\COMMON\OEMDrivers folder, there is a 21b6ed86-a505-4ad7-a4aa-b8bb93c926d9.rgu file with this registery entry, change it from 1 to 0:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
2) For the HTC Recorder, change your pad in the \OEM\LEO\0409\OEM_Lang_0409 initflashfiles.dat file, search for "VoiceRecorder", and change Tools to Multimedia:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia"):-File("Voice Recorder.lnk","\Windows\Recorder.lnk")
ps: This is the English translation, change it in your own language.

Thanks guys,
Will recheck the paths and spellings. I have removed all entries in initflashfiles.dat all except the non HTC stuffs and placed it under its respective app.dat in ext folder. Im customizing the location and icon pictures of basic wm stuffs (ie: home, search phone, help,games etc.) using provxmls.
What i have done so far:
1. Copied all these provxmls below to a "zzz_newXML" ext package and edited to new path i want.
mxip_MyPhone_100.provxml
mxipcold_marketplace_100.provxml
mxipupdate_office_100.provxml
mxipupdate_onenote_100.provxml
mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml
mxipupdate_RemoteDesktopMobile.provxml
mxipupdate_taskmgr_shell_1.provxml
mxipupdate_welcomecenter_1.provxml
mxipupdate_windowslive_1.provxml
mxipupdate_windowsliveim_1.provxml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. So the original is left untouched in SYS/OEM folder. Provxmls which assigns/resorts icons have been blanked out and placed in "zzz_newXML" files folder to overwrite the default paths so that i can fully control all icons using single provxml.
3. I am using mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml in XDA\EVK\OEM\LEO\0409\ProjectDefault_A to do start menu rearrangement. All Ext package icons customizations in placed in its respective folders.
My reason for choosing this method is so that i dont have to go to initflashfiles.dat or provxmls in new SYS package whenever i update system builds or add/remove ext package.
I have attached mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml (from item 3 above) and my initflashfiles.dat if you guys need more details. Please advice if there are any other better/easier way of doing this customization.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the late reply!

Thanks Braakie! Finally found time to rebuild rom with the reg key and that did bring back Screen option in settings. I still couldnt get the recorder right, maybe something wrong with the ext package itself.
I think we can change it to solved now as my main concern was with screen settings.

[SOLVED] Cooking with cht 1.8.5

Hi all. New to cooking roms. But having fun trying and making decent progress but can figure out how to get cht to work im using osKitchen zero with stock sprint rom as base. Converted cab to ext (even tried oem to ext to see if something screwed up). Anywho everything looks good but looks like the manila files arent getting written in rom. Cht editer works fine. Cookies home tab entries are in registry. Tried prioritizing (spelling?) all other manila folders in case the were overwriting CHT files but didnt make a difference.
Anyone know what im missing here? Any help will be appreciated.
Any particular reg entry or something in app.dat that should be added? Dont install Manila_Home? Prioritize a particular package?
I havent got a clue. Been trying for three days. Im sure its something easy but havent found anything useful searching various WM cooking sites. Tried older CHT packages people posted that said they worked just by adding them to kitchen but they didnt work for me.
Please help!

If you are trying to get CHT editor working in the menu (main home screen) go into your CHT folder and look at the app.reg file. You may see the following entry:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\CHTEditor.lnk]
"Icon"="\\\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\icon.png"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHTE.Path"="\\\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\CHTEditor.exe"
Change to this:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\CHTEditor.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\icon.png"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHTE.Path"="\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\CHTEditor.exe"
I had a similar problem when I was trying to cook in cht editor!

If CHt 1.85 wasnt installed in your rom then Cheditor shouldnt work.
When you install CHT 1.85 without any modifications the Home Manila has the same look as the stock one.
You need to use CHTEditor for modding your manila Home page and the export all the reg keys created.

im pretty sure i removed the extra slashes for registry. that was the first thing i noticed.
Cht editer isnt in soft key menu but it works from srart menu. if i make any changes sense fails to load though.

Ok. Im not trying to type this on my phone so maybe I can better explain.
Using osKitchen Zero.
Load stock Sprint TP2 rom (WM 6.5) into kitchen.
Converted CHT and Editer to EXT packages.
Imported those into kitchen.
Added them to rom.
Registry entry is correct for Editer (no extra slashes).
I make no other changes within the kitchen.
Build rom.
Load rom.
End result:
Editer isnt in right soft key menu it is only in start menu. Editer opens and I can make changes. When I apply, manila tries to restart but never loads.
Uploaded packages if anyone would like to see if things are correct.

Not sure if it matters, but I do not copy CHTEditor into its own directory via app.dat.
But your package does contain ManilaFull.xml, which it shouldn't.
Check CoOkies thread, he does explain there why.

With or without ManilaFull it still doesnt work.
I dont think cookies is getting cooked correctly. There must be something else i must do.
Fixing to just give up on this. Nothing seems to work.

Your packages seems to be right though they are same as mine.
Its a priority problem imo, CHTEditor must be cooked after CHT 1.85.
2 Solutions :
1st Insert a numer before the package name Example 01_Co0kie 02_ChtEditor
2nd In Oskitchen right click on ChTEditor ,proprieties and give it priority to Co0kiee.
I dunno if this is of some interest but i cook also CHT Editor language pack in my rom.

I tried that and it still wasnt working. Some other package/s were overwriting the files.
I wasnt aware of the packages cooking by folder name so I just made it so CHT and Editer were the last thing to cook in rom and everything works now.
Thanks for the help though. I learned something valuable if nothing else.

Nice...probably you was cooking Manila files after CHT.

[Q] How to Cook CHTE (Editor) 2.0.0 correctly in local language?

Hi Folks,
did anybody succeed in cooking CHTE (editor) 2.0.0 in local language?
I do have CHT 2.0.0 and CHTS (scheduler) 2.10 cooked in local language (i.e. German) and working but I did not find a way yet cooking the editor to work correctly until now. The editor starts ok from the CHT menu but then all menu topics in CHTE are not localised in any way. They show i.e. QUICKLINK_MAIN, FREELINK_MAIN, PNL_MAIN etc. I am also not able to modify the language from the CHTE menu itself - it just does not change anything.
I can install CHTE from the cab though and the local language works like a charm out of the box. There must be something missing from my package but until now I was not able to figure what it is. This driving me nuts :-(.
Any help is highly appreciated ;-),
mst

Can you share with us your CHT v2.0 and CHTEditor v2.0 EXT packages??
Mine are:
http://rapidshare.com/files/432372142/CHT_v2.0_EXT_programs.rar

pay attention to this files:
SenseSDK.Resources.QVGA.dll
SenseSDK.Resources.VGA.dll
StedySoft.SenseSDK.dll
remove the files (same name, older versions) from other ext's like bsb-tweaks or 3g dial-up enabler/disabler.
this apps are also based on the sdk but use old versions.
make sure only the ones from chte get cooked in.

Thanks for the ideas so far even though I still do not have had success with CTE yet.
It seems not to be the app.dat - at least I do not see any difference to my package and it also seems not to be some overwritten .dll files as I copied my original .dll files to my HD2 CHTE directory without any change in behavier.
I attach my CHT and CHTE package at the end of this post even though I doubt that the problem lies with my individual packages except for missing something - but you never know ;-).
Cheers,
mst

i had a look at your package...can you explain your problem more detailed?
your app.dat for cht:
Code:
Directory("%Windows%"):-Directory("ManilaXml")
Directory("%Windows%\ManilaXml"):-File("Home_Pages.xml","%Windows%\Home_Pages.xml")
my app.dat for cht:
Code:
Directory("\Windows"):-Directory("ManilaXml")
Directory("\Windows\ManilaXml"):-File("Home_Pages.xml","\Windows\Home_Pages.xml")
maybe that's the problem... maybe not... i did not see many other differences.
why are you activating cht softkeybar without presets?
your app.reg (cht2.0.0):
"CHT.Softkeys.Enabled"=dword:00000001
"CHT.Softkeys.Key5"=""
"CHT.Softkeys.Key4"=""

I moved my CHTEditor EXT package to the end (I cooked it last) and the problem is solved
Thank you for your help!

I'm trying to cook CHT right now, and I have a slight problem.
in my reg, I have:
"CHTE.Path"="\\Program Files\CHTEditor\CHTEditor.exe"
And it doesn't work. Still says CHTEditor isn't installed.
So, I check the reg in winmo. It reads:
"\\Program Files\CHTEditor\CHTEditor.exe"
And when I change it to
"\Program Files\CHTEditor\CHTEditor.exe"
It works perfectly. How can I make this work in my app.reg?
Regards
Smith

Solution to CHTE in local lang
Now I know what is going wrong.
CHTE and CHTScheduler use the the same names for for some of their files.
Language files: i.e. language_default.txt; language_german.txt etc.
DLL files: SenseSDK_Resources.QVGA.dll; SenseSDK_Resources.VGA.dll; StedySoft.SenseSDK.dll
But only StedySoft.SenseSDK.dll in fact is different and gives you problems (at least when cooked in before CHTE).
This is the reason why it does not translate the menu (language files wrong because they are overwritten during cooking). Cooking CHTE being the last package I did get a problem with CHTSchedule.
Now you can get around the problem if you rename the named files in one of those packages to show a _ in front of the filename and modify your app.dat accordingly.
After that it will work like a charm.

leave out chtscheduler and all addons (or simply cook them in as cab with a underline "_" in front of filename).
this way you can cook them in and install from windows dir.
try again with cht and chte first and report back.

Hi Boggsie,
use the CHTScheduler package attached - it is modified to work for languages 0409 and 0407 already. For CHT and CHTE you can use the packages I posted before.

CHT 1.8.5 Clock Layout does not work

Hello Friends,
I am cooking CHT 1.8.5 on my ROM and I have made CHT as an EXT package and in the "app.reg" file on this EXT I have below registry entry but looks like it does not work .
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\Co0kie\HomeLevel1]
"Clock.layout"=dword:00000005
I am also not cooking the ManilaFull.xml as per instruction in the CHT thread (About ROM cooking) .
What is that I am missing? Does any one had similar issue and how to solve?
Thanks.

Looks like something is overwriting the registry after flash. As till default.hv my reg changes are there and there is no provxml.
Also If after flash I change the above reg from device and soft-reset that works. So what might be overwriting during cooking/flash etc?
