I'm looking to build my first custom ROM for my HD2 T8585. I'm not a noob to programming but have never been in a kitchen before. So I'm tentatively dipping my toes in.
My plan is to use the stock ROM as my starting point and then gradually customise it to my needs. I downloaded a copy of it from the internet (RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship)
and imported it into osKitchen v1.32.1
Thats where I'm at now and I have a few questions before I continue.
When I go to the EXT Packages tab, there are a couple of errors listed.
Both appear to be syntax errors in registry settings. should I open up the files and correct these. (I did open them and can see what the problems are I think)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, I want to remove some of the EXT Packages, CoPilot and NaviPanel for a start. Is it simply a case of unchecking their boxes.
Lastly, for now, If I want to update some of the EXT Packages, say YouTube, is it just a matter of unchecking its box and importing a new package to take its place.
after completing the above could I then build the Rom and flash it to my beloved HD2 without risking turning it into an expensive paper weight?
Thanks for reading and any help you can offer
The easiest thing is just to remove packages you don't want from the kitchen, that way you won't forget and accidentally cook them in. But, yes, just uncheck the box.
Just fix the reg files manually. It pretty much tells you what to do.
Bringing in new EXT's can be problematic if they also need dll's from newer builds that you don't have.
Great thanks, I think I'm just being over cautious.
Just one more quick Q.
on the SYS Packages, there are a few entries listed as "Useless" is that really the case? and can they be removed without adverse effects?
thanks for your patience.
Farsite,
sorry, but all your questions are already answered and fixed in OsKitchen thread.
This is your 1st time cooking but there are already a lot of custom roms around and this means that your problems are already fixed.
Please..use OsKitchen thread if you have some questions about that,open a new thread is totaly useless.
Best regards.

I am assuming once you root the phone and push a custom ROM onto the phone, this will fix HTC's introduced bugs?
Bluetooth
SMS battery drain
Reverting apps versions
Stuff like this.
No, because the custom ROM is just the Sprint ROM with a few additions and modifications.
Ouch.
ok, anyone working on compiling a 2.0 kernal?

Although the bugs are not fixed, rooting allow one to use various workarounds that would not be possible without, and in fact for EACH of the issues you have listed:
Bluetooth: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/23854?tstart=0
While I cannot personally vouge for this, I have seen many posts on Sprint and here that detail the workaround described in the post as effective.
SMS Battery Drain: I think this may have actually been the first big bug discovered, and also fixed without root! Unfortunately, the default messaging app is defective, so in the meantime it is recommended to use either chompSMS or Handcent SMS from the Market until an update is released.
See this post: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/23043
Finally...
Reverting Apps: This is addressed on both forums, but a workaround only exists with root, and is similar in fashion to the bluetooth fix but for a different directory.

Hope this helps! I intend on posting a very detailed guide on every step of rooting, backing up, and working around most of the detailed problems in the very near future, stay tuned!
What I'd like is a kernel that will have this working as intended. But really, I am not afraid of the work arounds and the hands on work required, but if my wife had this phone with these problems, she would have chucked it out the window within days.
One more...
You left out the original bug (mentioned by briankwest, one of the first rooters), the TCP timestamp issue:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
This could also be added to the MoDaCo init.rc so it is set at each boot (otherwise it will revert back to "1").
Hello,
I have an HP iPAQ Hx2 using the v2 of the Spiaatie WM6.5 ROM, but now I want to start cooking some ROMs to understand better about the Windows Mobile kernel, because at the time I just know it's API very well(as a developer). Then I want to know two things:
Where I can get the best kitchen to cook ROMs for it?
Where I can get the WM6.5 ROM file to customize?
Best Regards,
Nathan Paulino Campos
You can use kitchen from [here]
Thanks very much! Keep up he great work with your ROM!
Also, now I have some questions
How could I add more programs to the ROM(I have their CABs)?
How can I change the boot screen?
What I need to change the background?
What is the kitchen that you use Spiaatie? Can you share it?
Hello,
I'm trying to flash my own ROM to my HP iPAQ, using the tools that came with my kitchen, but when it starts to flash, I got this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
And at the EBoot screen, instead of the label US on the bottom right corner, it says: DIGITAL SIGN MISMATCH
What I should do?
Best Regards,

I guess you need a CustomRuu.exe not the original,at least we do this way for HTC.
But there is any custom RUU for iPAQs?
I really have no clue in how it work Ipaq anyway i Googled it and i found this thread, give it a look http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326214&page=2

1. To convert cab's to packages you can use this app [here]
2. You will need to add hTC Animation to kitchen.
3. Change classicblue_stwater_240_320.jpg, classicblue_stwater_320_240.jpg and images in Classic Blue.tsk (theme) file for example.
4. I use the same old style kitchen, as the new one does not work with iPAQ. I will not share my kitchen as I have spent many hours tuning it up and figuring things out. If you want to cook your own ROM - you will need to learn and use search a lot, same as I did years ago. And don't post unnecessary threads, if you have a question about ROM cooking for hx2000 series - post them all here.
5. You can't flash iPAQ from EBOOT mode - use PRE-BL mode and if it still does not work use RUU from my lastest ROMs.
If some developers could try and add their ROM's to test this out that would be a big help.

This is probably been attempted before but I got bored and decided to make a ROM Directory type thing. It took me a day to develop and is written in PHP using the CakePHP framework for anyone that is interested.
If anyone has any feedback or anything please let me know.
The reason there is only 1 ROM added is because they are the files i have on my PC as i use that ROM.
Below are some pictures of it:

Very nice set up I would definitely use it. Ive been doing alot of work lately on my friends and family's android phones and if you can get this up it wont take forever to find a rom that they like and i can set it up for them
http://roms.scottymeuk.co.uk
It would definitely be nice to have one stop place for all the latest ROMs. But, in my opinion creating the website isn't the hard part, the hard part is to keep your directory updated with the latest ROMs.
Because there are lots of ROMs available (different phones, different versions etc) and many people use nightly builds too like in case of Cyanogen. So, that would mean you will have to update the data/urls/change logs etc regularly.
How do you plan to aggregate and update all this data? Manually? Or fetch data as a feed from their respective website? Or hoping for the web 2.0 way?
But, if you manage to do that then it would be really great.
People who create the ROM's will be able to do all of that them self. The way it works is that the ROM is submitted by someone (doesn't have to be the developer) and then that ROM is locked to their account, it is then approved by an admin and then they are then free to add as many versions as they want, where they can upload a zip file, and add change log for THAT version.
The change log is not one big database entry, it is the "versions" of the roms. For each version you submit there is a change log.
I have installed the HD20 WP7 8107 ROM and all went well. Previously I had tried the xbmod_yuki rom but that seemed to hang up my phone intermittently. I used the wp7-update-cab-sender when I had the yuki rom loaded and that seemed to work but now when I want to send the dev_storagelock cab it bombs out saying something about an untrusted certificate?
Any tips on how to add cabs to my phone now I have the HD20 ROM?
TIA
Olly
only YUki ROM lock cards.... HD20 and other ROM's not
Sorry about that I am new to all this and all I loaded so far was the yuki rom so I presumed all the roms had this sd issue. By the way, kudos to all you guys cos I dont know how you do this!
Anyway, I do have many other questions so if anyone wants to answer them that would be great:
1. What tool can I use to get cabs into this hd20 rom because the yuki wp7 update cab tool bombs with an untrusted cert issue which may be a case of me adding the root cert but I don't know. Is there another tool that i can use to get cabs into WP7?
2. I want to dual boot with android anyone know the most stable android build for the htc hd2 and EXACTLY step by step how I do it? off the SD I mean.
3. WP7 wants to be activated, how do I do this..........really? Please don't just say call MS because I bet it isnt that simple.
TIA
Olly
maybe to try Pdamatejam ROM? H2DO not bad but i recommended to try it
still you can use same tools for CAB sending but if not right certificate, this cab not be sent to phone... you can download supported cab files from Pdamatejam page...
also in Pdamatejam topic you have video tutorial how to dualboot with Android ICS... you can use any version you like, but i recommended you this one or this
why you need to call Microsoft, simple use chat... and this is only and best way....

-RESERVED! -
Here will be released the upcoming "Serenity-ROM", the counterpart to the "firefly"-ROM by me...
Currently the planning period for this ROM is in progress...
I think, it will become a "Low-Ressource" firmware, that will be quie fast...
But you can post any suggestions for this firmware here...
Can you Try following things in your new rom(for 8530) :
1. Please try to make rom fast so that we can play heavy games without lag and unlocking of phone without lag .
2. If possible,try to fix or remove memory leakage issue:silly:
3. if possible,add some kind of sound effect like vodoo or extreme grove in ROM
4. Make hidden bada storage visible via USB.
5. If possible,make GPS fix fast.:silly:
few more things still to come...
Thanks...
Regards,
WaveGuru
1. If it is possible to reduce the lag ... for example when I play Asphalt 6 all widgets are closed.
2. If it is possible to add a Facebook app that lets you know in real time when you receive a message, a LIKE or someone has written on the wall ... etc ... just like on Android.
3. If it is possible to add a GPS application that works and that you know when to turn right or left and when to go ahead ... I hope I did understand, because the already preinstalled, Samsung LBS, must be activated, to look your way from one point to another and to guide you on that road.
Waiting for your rom :good:
1. I think, nearly all widgets will be removed...
2. I'll only work with Java version of FB...
3. It is not planned to include navigation in this rom...
You have it in the "firefly" ROM with Route66... But, you need a license...
First impressions...
Welll....
Work is going on...
THX in advance to hero355, who gave me permission to use his Turko-CFW V8 as donor-FW...
But, this ROM will NOT become a copy of this one...
It'll only include some features, that you can also find in hero355's CFW ...
Stay curious...!
Taxidriver05...do you have a ETA for this ROM? I'm waiting for it like a baby waits for his chocolate
Currently NOT...
Need a little bit time for creating the ROM...
Currently less time for doing some firmware projects...
