I expect to get lots of 'search' and 'read' answers but hopefully someone will point me in the right direction
I have been searching (and searching) and building and flashing for days and I can't resolve the phoneCanvas issue where I have a scrollbar down the righthand side of the screen. This is what I have done so far:
Using osKitchen I have imported a recent Blackstone ROM (1.56.405.1 WWE)
Replaced the OEMXipKernel with a 6.5 one found on here
Imported a newer Windows Mobile Build (5.2.23138)
Added some applications and registry settings I need
Rebuilt the ROM and flashed it
At this point it works but the dialer is wrong - there is a scrollbar down the right of the screen and I cannot see the CLI of incoming calls.
OK, so I researched this and found that there is a problem with the HTC Phone Canvas. I found lots of replacement Phone Canvas's and have rebuilt the ROM using various ones I have found. The results are always either the same (i.e. scrollbar) or a messed up screen which is a mix between the default Windows Phone dialer and the replacement one.
I have also extracted the phonecanvas (and video dialing if applicable) from other devices and rebuilt the ROM with these but I always get the same results.
I have also tried editing the original phcanrc.dll file (Phone Canvas v3.50.33398.1) to include the 'EXSTYLE = 0x02000000' and again rebuilt the ROM with this but I am still not getting anywhere
I have tried some of the custom ROMs on here and they don't have this issue so I know it can be fixed but I am really struggling. I need a step-by-step guide as to how I fix this please....

I hope someone of you could help me! I'm cooking roms for xperia X1 with last EVK on windows XP!
I'm now using build 23568 or 23569 and a strange thing is occurring:
I've cooked successfully a pair of rom and then I needed to change something.... after that all my roms with that builds suffer by strange trouble:
when selecting a ringtone for the incoming call (I can preview its sound) and then hit OK to confirm it all the ringtones roll up and down for a second on the screen and then the default ring (windows-phone) is autoselected and no chance to close that window....... so I can't select different ringtones.
I've tried to revert back the change I made but the same happens. If I try to cook an older build I have in EVK it's working fine!!! I've tried to completely remove 23569 build and put it on from beginning but the same thing happens.....
Please help me! This is driving me crazy!!! I've searched up and down on this and other forum but nobody seems had this issue before.....
Does windows media player work? If it doesn't then it's a XIP issue: make sure you used the latest msxipkernel package.
I had that issue twice long ago. One time is was xip issue, the other time a bad lockstreamdrm package
Thanks a lot for the help! It was a xip issue..... I don't know why the msxipkernel had been modified.... restored the original one and it works!!
Thanks again.
Another XIP-file case solved!
I am having this exact same problem.....
i replaced the XIP and lockstreamdrm on first boot i was able to go into phone options and hear the ring tone without the corrupt error... but after just a bit i get a phone call and its silent....
i go back to phone options and try to play the ringtone and get the corrupt error...
After that i was doing some bmp replacements within the phcanimages and phcanimages2 and after replacing those to dll's on my device (they were the same as the ones cooked in, just updated bmps) i can choose ringtone without error and it rings on incoming calls...
any ideas?
did a clear storage and when phone came up i was able to select ringtone without error... was not able to try a call then because i had to activate phone..
after soft reset i am able to choose and hear when call is coming in..
so maybe the clear storage did it? i will report back after cooking again
This is most likely due to using the Lockstream DRM packages in EXT without the corresponding registry entries at the bottom of boot.rgu. Don't ask me why they put reg. entries from one program in two different places.

How can i fix?
after a few hours of ringtones working fine, i tried to go back into ringers and get the same corrupt error.......
Delete the Lockstream DRM packages (NOT Lockscreen) out of your ROM and see if it works normal.

i also put fresh SYS & XIP's into kitchen...
im using the same kitchen i always have and didnt change anything that i havent changed before.... been cooking my BigMaxsense ROM for months now without this problem..
Thanks for any help
Okay just wanted to post what was causing my problem
i stripped my ROM clean and only put the essentials into it and started adding things a few at a time..(guess i should have done this to start with)
found out that Microsoft.Voice.Command.v1.6.21725 was the root of the problem.. removed it and everything works fine..
thanks to all that helped!
hello, first off, i did search but couldn't find anything like this problem at all
intro:
i did successfully install oskitchen and import the latest official build (wm 6.1)
imported a da_g package with the 6.5 23563 build, no problems at all but... the notification area in the top launched the htc notifications panel from that time (a gray screen with some of the icons in bigger size, if you don't remember what it was like i can put a screenshot, it does not matter really to understand the problem though)
"no problem, i can make a new profile with a different oemxip and oem drivers and that will be gone", and so i did, i searched for some kitchens with a set of drivers fitting my needs as reference and made a new profile with those
problem #1:
oskitchen needs the "temporary os.nb", which i don't know how to build it from the files in the project (and indeed cannot find how to do it because the search says "os" and "nb" are too short and would not use them), nor oskitchen build it for me...
so i did a dump from a rom built with the very same oemxip and package configuration (same sys, same packages, same oem drivers, same oemxip) and copied the os.nb
problem #2:
that worked fine... or so i thought: the notification screen was still there
as of now, there is absolutely no files from the original rom dump, but when i cook it the notification screen is still there! it's driving me crazy, how it can be there still??
i wonder if oskitchen does not work work with profiles as i think it does (meaning it always look for the "default" profile?), i don't really know and i'm completely lost as of now
so, my request for help is triple-fold:
#1: is there any way to build the "temporary os.nb" from the files instead of getting it from a rom dump (and so, i can control which things will be in the .nb)
#2: do you have any idea as of why the notification screen does appear yet none of the original files from the diamond rom is there
#3: in the case i cannot get rid of it in the "good" way, do you know how to make the notification screen to not appear anymore (you know, the wm 6.5.x way is more than enough, and less intrusive)
thank you so much
This one should be posted in OsKitchen thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948

Hi,
I am building a rom off the back of current highest rom for my HTC Leo (going by the htc website on a serial number search) 'RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2', using some of the updated packages out of 'RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3'. Keeping most of the rom as stock, removing copilot from the device, replacing the netcf with the latest version, and adding hotfixes from htc's website.
I am having trouble though with installing cab's I have converted to ext. Some work and install as intended (Omarket, BSB Tweaks, Swype, CHTE, Tom's Autoinstall). However I am finding that some programs aren't there after flashing (cookie home tab, pocket text editor, and various other apps i have tried).
I also seem unable to change my ringtone now.
I have searched around, but not found quite the help i need to remedy these issues.
If anyone could offer some help here, it would be great

Maybe you should check the initflashfiles.txt in every EXT package to see if the links to the programs in the Start Menu are present and created.
I have build a custom hd2 rom with oskitchen and xip/sys 28244.
It's working very well.
Now I have added some ext packages found here that seems to be useful. And now the new rom has the following issue: After leo goes to standby by itsself or by pressing the off key and some time later it will not wake up. Buttons are lightened but screen stays black. I have to put the battery out or to reset. Than rom is working again until next standby.
It happens only, if device is in standby for some time. If you press off and then wake up device immediately, all is working well.
Any idea, if this can be result of some added package or some component of the xip/sys build?
Have now found out something:
If I remove the following ext packages from my built rom, the rom works without freezing after going to standby:
HTC Tweaks
AMEBA
Opera Mini 5.1
Google Maps 4.1.1
But If I install those apps as cabs, the rom is working well after installation.
Can it be that they conflict with some built-in package of leo which causes the freezing issue, which is not there if installing the packages?
thunder141, not sure what you mean by HTC Tweaks but if you increased system cache (as it proposed to do somewhere in Leo related threads) to absolutely huge unacceptable meaning - your phone just tries to cache memory...
Get rid of that tweak, or check your Storage Card (maybe format will help) - possibly the system is trying to cache to it and it's fragmented or just too slow....
i mean the app hd2 tweak with standard configuration converted to an ext from the cab
thunder141, am I supposed to know what does that mean - "app hd2 tweak with standard configuration "?
I tweak my roms by myself and never try to have fun with someone's "tweaks compilations"
Can you be more specific? Give me a link to the cab or attach your package for me to have a look.....
sorry ;-) I thought it is a known prog cause i found it here at xda.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505
But I misspelled it. Its hd tweak not hd2 tweak.
I imported the cab with oskitchen's import feature. And when I cook it in, my rom freezes after going to standby. If left it out, rom works fine.
I attach the ext, oskitchen created for me
Its not a spelling problem but the fact that those tweaks are made for HTC HD not HD2.
I suggest you to dont use it, simple solution.

No, at his page there are hd tweak for other device and hd2 tweak for hd2 (leo). (http://www.montecristoff.com/hd2tweak.htm)
But, as I said, its not only this ext pkg but the others mentioned make my device freeze, too. And if used by cab install, not. And I do not understand the difference for those apps, if they worked when not cooked in.
I decided to put them in my uc_net folder for now and left them out of my rom, so my device won't freeze
before my hd2 got bricked due to my stupidity, i was trying to find solution to freezing issues.
i found out that if cad.dll and wavedev.dll are excluded, no death occurs after sleep. (of course, these dlls are vital for sound, so we cannot exclude them).
so my suggestion would be to first exclude these 2 dlls and include your packages to see if this clash is causing problem and then find compatible version of your packages with these 2 dlls or find compatible dll.
personally, i think these 2 dll have some odd bug with certain versions of windows system.
Hi,
I've been facing the following problem on my ROM: After a fresh flashing or hard reset, the device is unresponsible, and the start menu does not start and subsequently Manila doesn't start, until the taskbar is pressed.
Any ideas?
could it be something on the kitchen (osKitchen Zero 1.33.5) or OEM packages?
EDIT 4/OCT:
Solved.
I've started from scratch using LEO 3.14 initflashfiles and removing/changing only the necessary, and testing after each change.
Saved as Unicode UTF-16 with CR+LF (first 4 digits removed with HEX editor)
I didn't removed/changed the links that didn't create a shortcut. Only those which were creating links on the wrong place.
EDIT 1/Oct:
After rebuilding my whole kitchen, found the problem is related to Initflashfile.dat.
The dumped initflashfile.dat works without problems, but when I modify it, the problem appear.
I was editing using notepad2.
After found the problem, I searched the forum and found that after modification it needs to be HEXedited removing 4 first digits:
4. Install Hex Workshop Trial if you havent already. Open initflashfiles.dat in the hex editor.
The first 4 digits should say FFFE or something like this. Highlight those first 4 numbers and right click and delete. This is the header written in by notepad. This HAS to be removed for you initflashfiles.dat to work correctly. Then save.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But even after removing these digits I still have the problem.
Can someone give me some advise about how to modify the Initflashfile.dat?
I've attached the 2 files for your reference.
Thanks in advance.

I use LockScreen from Huasan in COM3 without problems. It also may interact with your lockdevice 1.6 and you must put out Lock Screen App Launcher from Leo. Perhaps is this. I had this issue but I don´t remember why was. Sometimes was custom icons or backgrounds like "StartMenu_Background_Screen_480x800.png" & "StartMenu_Background_Screen_800x480.png". I didn´t be able to change these png´s. Get Lucky
This issue is driving me crazy.
I've just cook a ROM witout any external package only Sys and OEM and the problem is still there.
Also checked with a COM 2 build and the same issue.
I'm using osKitchen Zero v1.33.5, I've tried reimporting the original ROM and recoocking it with the same issue.
Any idea what else I can check?
Could it be a kitchen related problem?
I would suggest cooking with a different kitchen, but same pkgs and see if there is an issue. Sometimes kitchens do cause bugs...
Hi,
Finally managed to find what file was producing the problem.
I modified the first post and attached the files.
Hope someone can help me!
thanks in advance.
