[SOLVED] Cooking the GTX theme into my ROM - Windows Mobile

I apologise if this has been answered as, much as I have tried, I cannot find the answer.
I am using osKitchen 1.31 amd have successfully cooked a few of my own ROMs now, which are not always the greatest success (gotta love HSPL).
The one thing that is eluding me at the moment is how ROM chefs have successfully cooked in themes like the GTX white theme. I've checked a variety of threads on the subject but I am none the wiser.
The theme I have is in CAB form and so I believe I need to convert this to an EXT package but then my knowledge begins to dry up. Any guidance (or links to threads I have missed) would be greatly appreciated. Thus far I have tried to convert/produce app.reg files, with no success, and have even tried cheekily pulling the theme from ChuckyROM (the one with kitchen), but even then with no success.
Thanks

Use the Import menu, and choose Import EXT package. There you can choose a cab file for import, and it will create the proper directories, which you can then cook into your ROM.
Remember to position the new GTX EXT package to install AFTER the Manila files!

Unfortunately it didn't work.
When you say position the GTX EXT to install after the Manilla files, is that by setting the priorities or is it as simple as naming the GTX package zzz_GTX?

You need to have the GTX manila files and images overwrite the stock manila files and images. You can accomplish this by zzz or priority (probably the better way, but either way should work).

I always use the zzzzz_ naming scheme...

I've had some limited success! Thanks for all your help with this, I really appreciate it.
The theme contained a wallpaper which is not applying, so I'm guessing I need to start looking at the app.reg. As difficult as this appears to be, I'm really enjoying playing with the kitchen. It's kind of... addictive!

Success!
I converted the GTX theme to EXT and then 'borrowed' the app.reg file from ChuckyROM. This is what was missing from the package and so nothing would load once this was added to the ROM.
I then extracted the wallpapers and created a new package with just those in. For now I am using ChuckyP, ChuckyL and GTX2 as these are fairly nice on the eye and will do for now. I placed the wallpapers into \GTX Wallpapers\files first, and then created an app.dat file in \GTX Wallpapers\ (I used Wordpad... I feel so dirty).
Code:
Directory("\Windows"):-File("ChuckyL.png","\Windows\ChuckyL.png")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("ChuckyP.png","\Windows\ChuckyP.png")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("GTX2.png","\Windows\GTX2.png")
The theme loads, the wallpapers are present and all is well!
Not bad for a noob.
Thank you all for your help.
P.S. I am now trying to cook in CHT Editor 1.8.5.1... expect screams for help shortly!!

I don't want to post them up for download as they're not my material.

my english is not very well
can any one explain his work for me basicly?
wen i import the EXT theme, the theme doesnt show correctly. i also moved it to build's files but no changes

Cool thanx got it rgiht. now just need a fix for internet tab scrolling and the facebook tab that shows blue icon when you are on it but ill check out the same thread

Almost There
Got the Calendar working got twitter fix got facebook font fixed. Only two problems left does anybody have a fix for internet tab not scrolling and secondly when i stop on the facebook tab the icon is blue. have alread loaded the basic GTX facebook icon fix here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671634 but that didnt fix it.
I ended up editing the manila files myself and got the blue icons sorted.
Internet tab still runs away

GTX - OEM
Here is a full working GTX with all fixes applied, has default tabs as well as facebook tab icons.
If you are batteling to get the facebook tab settings to work. Typically error in facebookutil.exe then compare the dll files with the ones in cookie home tab editor. there an older one in chteditor that makes it not work so overwrite it with this one in this rar file. O yes its optimized for OSkitchen.
it has cookie 1.85 btw

WM6.1 Manila2d Blueangel ROM

Requesting all those great Rom cookers out here to create a Rom with Manila2d in it. No, not on ExtROM but inside the ROM itself. That would be faster better and faster I think.

Integrated Manila 2D into cooked ROM is surely a better solution, however most people prefer a clean ROM. Beside due to limitation of the flash size (32MB i think), it would requires to remove lots of even basic application come with the ROM.
not possible due to limited 32 mb storage. even the mms is not included in any ba wm6 rom so can u think for Manila.

M2D cooked in
I'v tryed to fit "M2D" in a cooked ROM you can get the main files in there' But not enough of the image files, I also did some test builds "without" the calc, media player,dialer,and commManager skins, And Flashed them from "ExtROM" as Themes It Seamed to Work fine But you would still Be adding A large number of files Via ExtROM so not much to be gained (can't say It was any different speed wise)
My origonal Idear was Adding skins to your device like this may, make rom's more fun and the user could change Skins From *.cab files (Themes)
So If you fancy a try and some people are intrested in making some Skins then I'll cook My New V3 and working version of M2D into a "ROM" With all Skins Removed and Post it with One Full Set of Skins in CAB files and folders of files for you to edit and i'll even pack some of your Themes into CABs and we'll see what Comes of it
I would like at least 5 people to be intrested in assisting with skins as I don't Have enough time to do it all
So If you would like to have a GO then you need to say SO or i'll not bother that's my offer regards
swampy395
I think it is a great idea, manila2 in a cab with no skin, and the default skin in a separate .cab so we can replace and tinker with it at leisure
I am in to give a hand!
Ok people think about it just for a minute, Manila 2D has a size of 12 mb, with a rom of 32 mb even if it is compressed we have to cut a lot of things from main rom to make this possible, and the the stupid questions will come, why this or that not work. Thats why i am working on a proper kitchen so the people can choose whatever packages they want in rom and make it themself. So if the rom does not boot or has audio video formats problems or software compatiblity problems this will be the builder configuration fault not mine or any other rom cooker.
Also you can use my last kitchen but you need to add options.xml in OEM and SYS folder to choose the packages

Well this is good as idea(i mean the complete customization from cabs and saving space from the skins in the rom area) but you have to make manila not to load on startup because without skin it will just crash and you will have to reset, and there will be infinite loop ...

I would love to give this a try, but I don't know enough about the interdependencies of the root packages to build a reliable options.XML file. Could you post a list of the diff packages that are part of the ROM with a notation of which are required, which are nice to have and which can be left out? If you do, then I will try to build an Options.xml file and post it for testing with your kitchen.
I have modded manila2d so the default skin is no more and instead one more of my liking. The resulting cab is 100KB smaller...
It boots fine
Will be posting today

No, I haven´t gone yet for cooking, I just tinkered with the .cab files in the ExtROM folder.

Hi guys

As my previous post I did some tests and I could get enought of the M2D files in the ROM for IT to boot! and from "rom boot" to "ExtROM Finnish" it doe's not try to load M2D, first load of M2D is after the reset that Terminates ExtROM loading BUT I had to remove 'Calculator,Dialer,WM_Player skins,ring tones and some shortcut, The rom I tested for about 4 days and was as stable as any rom!, And here's a BIG "BUT" Keeping track of all the bits that are needed is a some TASK! in short it will work but it's hard work

I can live without all of the things that you removed as I use alternates for all of them which are loaded into storage anyway and just waste the ROM space.
BUT, as you say, I don't have enough knowledge to know which parts can and can't be dumped from the core ROM. That's why I asked Xplode to make a list. If you can make some kind of list, I'm willing to try and build a suitable options file to be used with his kitchen.
Another thing. I may be slow, but I can't figure out what parts of M2D are in the ROM and what parts are being installed via CAB. I opened the M2D cab and I see that the executables are still in there. If they are in the CAB, what are you loading in the ROM?

Hello again
I didn't publish that ROM, It was a test 'only' My M2D roms have most of the today plugins removed from rom as you don't need them, you can only have M2D plugin running!! If you remove WMP you loose so many formats 3gp etc. There are many things you can install from cab But cannot leave out thay have to go back in, The end finnished rom plus cabs is just the same size so y bother
P.S. If your useing a swampy rom then you can flash new skins from a cab
Swampy, if you cook my modded M2D you will have some 100Kb more to play with in the first place...
Now, if you zip up your ´Removed´ folder after cooking a barebones rom with M2D in rom we can help you build .cabs that would go in ExtROM an hence we would have a much more modular design
Taskmanager is a good candidate to go on a .cab, some people like one some like another. It pains me to see two installed
Swampy, but there is an alternative to Windows media player,
Mplayer, a 4megs cab. Supports many formats, it is lean and a standard in Linux (available for Windows Mobile)
Download MPlayer for Windows Mobile
You could remove everything to do with windows media player and put them on a .cab, then give users a choice; windows media.cab or mplayer.cab

Sorry, but I'm still not following you. In the first post of your 20275 thread and in your sig, you have a M2D version. If this isn't the M2d in ROM version, then what is it? If all that you did was leave out the today plugins, what did you use the extra ROM space for? Also, I never use WMP as almost any other player is far better IMHO (Coreplayer, S2P, Tcpmp,Mortplayer, Etc.) If I don't use it, will I still need its support for diff file types?
Swampy´s M2D roms don´t contain M2D in the rom itself but will install it in rom from the storage card whenever you do a hard reset.
So it is basically loading the extra stuff from a custom ExtROM folder in the storage card
Of course I agree it would be better to have M2D in rom proper and say windows media player in a .cab in the ExtROM folder so it can be easily removed if you don´t want it (I certainly don´t want it)

I agree with gloomyboy. Since there are SO MANY differnt app/utilities that more or less do the same thing, it stands to reason that everybody will have their own preferences. If someone could build a kitchen that really allows you to pick and choose what goes into the ROM, everybody could custom tailor their ROM for what they really use. Unfortunately, AFAIK, all of the kitchens available today only allow periferal change and not major systems changes. I don't know why, maybe it is just my lack of understanding of the core requirements of a ROM and it can't be done any other way. But I can allways wish....

OK, now I get it. I do that myself with my own home grown EXTROM based more or less on Xplode's new release of M2D with all sorts of shortcuts and config files being copied from my SD card into memory. I am constantly changing my cfg.txt file to include newer versions and getting rid of apps and utilities that I find that I don't use. I think that the ROM should contain all the permanent stuff that will fit and I can't function without.

ROM Loads but Freezes before Homescreen

Hey All, Im new to cooking ROMs and am trying to make one for TP2 Rhodium US.
Initially I was having issues with .netCF but that is fixed.
Now when I am flashing my ROM, I get no errors, but the HTC sense and Titanium interfaces wont load.
I can open the start menu and see about half of the things i installed, and half missing.
Any ideas?
Im using 23128 Sys and Ext files, Manila 2016, with the official HTC OEM 21887 base.
Sounds like you dont have netcf in the ROM!!

I just did a search, it is located in my Sys>23128>Shared>COMMON folder
I have added many files that I had previously removed to save space, and now I am getting this error when trying to create the build
"692 Modules present; Too many modules.... with 6.1 NK.exe and 6.5 XIP you' ll have non-bootable ROM.... Exiting..."
EDIT: I am now trying to recreate it in osKitchen Zero, and I see that I have SYS Build 21887, but i also have the 23128 file, could this be what is causing issues?
I have one zip file that has 23128 ZIP and SYS folders, and one that has 23128 Shared, MSXIPKernel and 0409... Do i just replace these over the 21887 files?
You need to check that box it says real wm6.5 kernel I think. Its been so long since I used EVK, I forgot what it says exactly.

Okay, it looks like it is going now, if it doesnt work this time Im guessing maybe im not using the newer 23128 files and folders in the correct place?

How to add a cab file as a package in your build!
First make sure you have the files you need with a .cab extension. This is the easiest way to do this. Drop the files into a location eg desktop.
.Open osKitchen go to Import
.Select button for cab installer file
.Press Browse and select the .cab file from the desktop
.Under Device Drop down select HTC Leo
.Uder Group select an existing group eg 04 Software, or if you want to create your own group type in the name here
.Under Name type in what you want to call Ext package
.Press Convert
You will then see a window with Operation completed press Ok
Close the windows and go into Ext packages and select the newly installed package!

Wonderful, thank you so much for this release. I'll get cracking on adding the things i wanted to this build and let you know how i get along. Do you want a copy of the updated Copilot cab to add to your builds?
Just in case
@GhostXSeries : Sent you PM on robotic voice.
Btw why are you on such old build for WM 6.5 ?
I wanted to give the option of upgrading the orgional builds so chiefs can have a choice. It was purely an exercise for me to see if it could be upgraded to the 576mb with office 2010 and .net etc.
I also had the phone on stand by with hspda last night and if my battery is right it dropped about 4 percent!!!!!!!
576mb android compatable kitchen now available for download
Thank you very much but now I still cant test your ROM Your link is very slow (
Please upload on megaupload.com, hotfile.com, mediafire.com, multiupload.com,...
Thanks
Sorry I am only going to be storing the images on VBN from now on. It is too much work to upload to multiple sites.
Downloading the Android compatible rom now, looking forward to finally having a nice, close to stock Rom that works smooth.
Keep up the great work.

I am currently working on a sense 2018 version that is also Android compatable. This will be up in the next couple of days. I have got sense working on the build I am just simply trying to modify the base build to tweak it a bit. I will hopefully have a mixture of tmobile 2.10, 2.14 and leo 1.66
Kitchen build has now got Sense 2018! As far as I can tell this is the first Kitchen to be released with Sense 2018 included
Hmm.. tried your kitchen, but (knowing not much about kitchens...) tried to find a project file (.kxml file) to load, but can't find it.
Can it be you missed that one? Or do I have to set up my own?
(e.g. an example ROM would be great)
One question: When the ROM is very small (eg. removed Windows Live and Office) will the memory for data storage be any larger?
one more.. Some imageinfo.bin files are read only. This gives an error when building (because the file cannot be overwritten) Is this ok or an error?

It is very easy to built your own project files. Simply select the operating system on the first screen eg os 21869 (WM 6.5) or 23569 (WM 6.5.5) then when you go into the ext packages screen simply select the packages for the operating system eg:
If you select 21869 then select
01 HTC Packages - This is the list of the main packages
02 Sense 2018 fixes if you want to remove the rss feader,
03 23569 fixes - Do not select this - only use this for OS 23569
04 Tweaks - You can select what you want from this
05 Software - You can add what you want into this folder extra programs etc
If you select the 23569 OS remember to go into Sys Packages and select everything for beginers, and select 03 23569 fixes. This folder updates things like the dial pad and the keyboard etc.
I simply tried to keep the Kitchen rar file as small as possible!
For the read only error, simply right click on the osKitchen folder, go to properties and uncheck an read only check boxes! Sorry about that I kinda forgot the check the permissions on the folder before I uploaded it

Already did - thanks.
I want to remove Sense altogether, also I don't use Office (using a better office suite)
Is it also UC capable? (And, could you please answer my question about the memory gain when the ROM has less packages in it?)

Memory will be better the less packages you remove. If you dont want sense, you can simply de-select all the manila packages and the start icon loader package as well. It is not currently UC compatable, I have not done much work with this yet, but you should be able to download the cab files and add them in to the package.
What other versions of office are you using?
Just wanted to write back to say that I've been cooking away using your kitchen build and it's got to be one of the best one's I've used. I'm so close to perfecting my own Rom and it's all thanks to you.
Have you tried including the Chainfire 3D drivers? When I've tried it's not gone right (this isn't a problem with your kitchen, as i think it's an issue with OSkitchen and the 3D drivers from what i've been reading). Thanks again for this.

i need max manila

can someone upload max manila please for cooking hd 2 rom .......
Here's the last Max Manila released. After this is MaxSense which there is a cab for now. I've attached Max Manila cab and EXT.
Oh, sorry I cook for TP2 (WVGA). I'm not sure if they'll work for an HD2.

HD2 is WVGA right? I don't see why it wouldn't work. I've cooked that EXT package in my WVGA kitchen and it works fine. Are you sure there is nothing else wrong?

Max manila does not work for 2017, 2018 & 2019 version. I think it works for 2016 version if I remember correct.
Latest MaxSense can be found here...

Has anyone ever modded Sense/Manila with all the tabs enabled?
I am getting an HTC Leo (1024 Tmo) and I would like to have Sense/Manila with all the tabs enabled.
I did this for manila 2.0 for my QVGA (Tmo Wing) by enabling the tabs in the HTCHome xml and adding the correct images, etc...
But when I was unpackaging the latest Leo image I see that all the manila files are labled "0b1b17c3_manila."
And I don't see an xml file to edit.
I'm a bit confused as to what you're asking. If you're talking about simply cooking in the regedits for enablement/disablement of tabs on boot up, then it's:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Manila://home.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
"Manila://internet.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
"Manila://twitter.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
"Manila://music.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
"Manila://settings.page.hidden"=dword:00000000

"Manila://weather.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
"Manila://peopleCallHistory.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
"Manila://email.page.hidden"=dword:00000000

"Manila://people.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
"Manila://footprints.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
"Manila://facebook.page.hidden"=dword:00000000
I'm pretty sure you already know that though. Are you looking for Sense tab packages? I feel like you would already know where to get those as well, which brings me back to being confused as to what you're asking.

Yes. Thank you. That is what I was looking for. To be honest I didn't know about the registry values. I only know what I did use from cooking for QVGA devices.
(I gave you thanks as well )
Can you point me in the right direction (link-wise) to cook Sense into my ROMs?
My ultimate goal would be to have the latest Sense version with all the tabs enabled for my HD2 (1024).

[Q] Manila: editing 22e41977_manila (home layout) to see more calendar entries

Hi All,
I searched a lot but could not find a solution, so here's what I want to do: Manually editing the 22e41977_manila file to remove the RSS reader (allready done this one) and use the newly available space to display the next two calendar entries instead of just one. I know that CHT can do that but CHT slows my device down alot. So I want to edit the homescreen by my self and cook it in the ROM.
A similar question has been asked a while ago here, but with no really helpful answer.
AFAIK CHT also edits the responsible Manila file so some one allready needs to know that Do you guys have any hints?
I am using the latest (2021/2) Manila from OBOE BTW...Thanks alot already!
Hey mate,
I too tried to work on this and asked similar question here.
But with no luck/help yet .
It will be good if we can have this working.
BTW: Default Manila home does display one entry from calender but only if that is NOT FULL Day appointment .
Thanks.
Sounds like your best bet would be to ask in the CHT thread. A lot of the people involved in that project are more than willing explain how certain aspects of the mod are accomplished. They have helped me in out in areas like this. Just a thought
Another Idea that just popped up in my mind: How about using the plain manila we have now, install CHT and modify the home layout according to this. Now backing up the respective manila file(s?) and uninstalling CHT. Afterwards replacing the manila file in the ROM or the kitchen. Could that work? Thoughts?

Manila files used in CHT are very complicated and tightly coupled so we cant use part of those files .
We can try to look into the files (responsible for this task) of CHT and figure that out... but that is not easy .
Thanks.
