Please help customising WM6 Extended ROM

Hi,
I have been trying the excellent Jwrightmcps WM6 ROM on my Universal and all is well so far, but I want to be able to modify the extended ROM so that when flashing it installs updated versions of Skype, Google Maps, etc as well as add in a few other custom apps.
I have scanned the forums and have come across a stack of links to various tools, but am struggling to make any sense of them all.
I have managed to open up the nk.nbf file using the HTC64 Extended ROM Tool, but cannot find how to open up the nk.fat file - I have tried WinImage, but it doesn't seem to want to play ball with it under Vista.
So what is the next step?
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Error encountered for HTCAppointment.exe

Hi together,
If I click on an calendar appointment in the HTC HD2 calendar I get very often the error message "Error encountered for HTCApointment.exe". The same is working if I try to open the appointment in MS outlook! Is there any solution for this HTC calendar problem? :-(
Thanks, alkorsi

Try this:
http://www.htc.com/nl/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=828&news_id=441

I have this with 1.66
I've just put 1.66 on my HTC and I now seem to have the problem of HTCAppointment.exe crashing when I try to look at meeting details on my HD2. I've tried the fix from here...
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=828&news_id=441
but when I try run the EXE on my phone it tells me "this hotfix is not compatible with your device" (even though the download page says "Note: This update is only applicable to all ROM Version.").
Anyone know of any other fix for this?
Maybe someone can send me the HTCAppointment.exe from their device?
Thanks

Are you importing your appointments from somewhere?
There's a possibility you have a corrupt appointment?
I'll upload my .exe if this isn't the case.

HTC Appointment.exe
You'll probably have to disable HTC Sense to copy it in
Using total commander will make it easier
Hope this helps

Thank you very much : it solved the translation problem in the latest Energy ROMs.
It's a 2011 version, but still close enough to the 2018 version I'm replacing to be able to use the same HTCAppointment.exe.040C.mui and behave correctly with the rest of the appointments tab.
I recently found that most of the residual problems came from using WWE builds of executables in localized ROMs.
Though the correct MUI files are present, these programs are simply unable to find and use them, despite the correct country code in the registry ! Even worse : some of them are even unable to run at all in a localized environment !
In our case (european languages), we absolutely need "WesEU" tagged programs, not "WWE" tagged (this information is sometimes accessible from the program's property under Windows, that's how I finally understood what was happening).
Since NRGZ28 builds his ROMs from WWE versions then introduces localized elements, he forgets a lot of WWE only programs in them.
I'm having hard time chasing them all out to put the right versions in my CAB !
The previous one I tracked down was WorldCard Mobile.

Uninstalling Programs (i.e. CoPilot) From HTC ROM?

I got my new HD2 yesterday, lovely thing! The first thing I did was flashed bepe and co's HSPL and installed the latest HTC ROM from the HTC website to replace my T-Mobile shipped ROM.
However, there are a couple of items I'd like to uninstall, such as CoPilot. How do I go about doing this? The 'Manage Installed Programs' menu does not have any entries, thus I am at loss on how to go about doing this?
I will eventually get a cooked ROM on the device, however just wanting to familiarise myself with the device first.

you can't remove from a stock ROM, you'd have to go down the cooked route for that...

That explains that then . What ROM would you recommend for a 'clean' install?

Actually you can delete Copilot by using File Manager to delete its folder in the Programs folder. Frees up several megabytes of memory, too!

Either Dutty or Miri are good for doing stripped down ROMs. They both offer a version with Sense still on it, but with other doings removed.

Just remove all the files and optionally the reg entries. Nothing there to disturb you after that...

phonecanvas fixes?

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....

HD2 Leo 3.14 Custom ROM freezing after standby

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.
