[Q] how to test my cooked rom??? - Windows Mobile

there is any emulator?

I don't think we have an emulator for this test and the only way to test is on device. May be you can use ROM Image Editor to view how the image looks like on device before you flash.
Cheers!!!

MS device emulator HTC wizard rom-Convert nbf to nb0

Hi all.
I started using MSDevice emulator v1.0 to check some programs before I put them on my QTEK.
Atm,I'm trying to install the OS from Faria rom to the device emulator.
The emulator uses images *.nb0 and I'm having *.nbf rom
The tool on the FTP site (nb2nbf) does the exact opposite thing from what I want .
Can someone tell me how I can extract the nb file from eg Farias rom? {edit -found correct programs -check below}
Will farias hacks & customizations work ?
Is the device emulator a reliable program to test applications?
Also, I found somewhere in the internet some skins/localisations for the qtek for using in the dev emul but I can't remember where. I'd appreciate if someone could post a link.
Thanks
Note to moderators :I wouldn't like to add these kind of questions on the Windows mobile specific topic because I'm interested more in reliable wizard emulation. If you think I posted in the wrong place you can move it somewhere more appropriate . Thanks again

I have seen that question asked before and asked it before myself, at this point it doesn't seem like anyone knows how to do that.
if you find out please let us know.
Are there WM2003SE (arm cpu) images for device emulator?

This is the exact information i need to find out. Can someone give me a good start on how to do it?
Im using MS Device Emulator v1.0. All Cooked ROMs I find have the .nbf format and the emulator asks for .nb0 format.
there is no problem 2 convert nbf to nb0( or nb or nba format) all you need is HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe (wiki or ftp). but other thing is to convert it to the "right" m$hits format. i dont think there is a way yet. maybe, i didnt try it thru tadzio's imgfs extraction utility (as to my knowlegde the ony one tool capable to extract m$hits emulator imgs) maybe its capable of compiling one.
Saw the lifehacker post http://lifehacker.com/395266/windows-mobile-emulator-tests-phone-apps-on-your-desktop
and wanted to test out some custom roms on my pc before installing. I've tried to convert .nbh files to .nb with dutty's tool, but the emulator won't accept it. Was there any progress on getting this to work?
There is a Emulator ROM Kitchen. Check out my sig.

Your Kitchen is for cooking and then emulating. You cant emulate the cooked nbh roms. Or?
We need an emulator for cooked roms. Or a tool for converting nbh files to bin or nb0 with "right" m$hit format.
Actually the roms which your kitchen creates can be emulated with MS Device Emulator, but your kitchen needs a bin rom to create a new rom, so its not useful.
Any solutions?
Hello folks is there any progress with booting up the nbh cooked rom inside emulator please ? Thanks.

Extracting and viewing Registry from a ROM on PC

Is there a way I can extract the reristry from a ROM and then examine it, without uploading it to my Hermes? I'm looking for some registry keys that will let me watch Sky Sports on my device, see this thread:

Flash support: SWF Research...

I saw this since beginning. Few Apps are Flash *.swf files.
Since bada SDK 1.2 it is easily possible to create own App with *.swf file included.
The path to *.swf file is in:
...\Res\480x800\IDF_FLASHFORM.xml
contentsPath="/example.swf"
Idea 1.
Any way to change path to SD Card...
So via rename you could play Flash Games...
Idea 2.
Someone would be so nice to add filexplorer or integrate other path to *.swf file.
Best Regards
... the file that you attach is 8530 but does not work on 8500 ... because
Not sure what you exactly mean.
Attached is Document in Adobe Acrobat *.PDF Format, taken from bada SDK 1.2.x
x because I have forgotten if 1.2 or 1.2.1.
It is very easy to compile this example and try at S8500.
I could upload...
Problem is, that at the moment only 2 ways are known to install Developer signed Apps...
1.
With bada SDK.
2.
With Broker.exe from bada SDK... you need to edit an Batch *.bat file... to fit exactly your paths.
Best Regards
Action Script is hard ...
But why not modify some Lockscreens for instance?
You could replace Graphic...
Not mandatory to test on handset... you can play with bada SDK.

SFW player for bada ---> http://www.badapps.ru/5476-swf-player-proigryvatel-swf-faylov.html

Edit 1.
Found... it is not free...

I think Flash Player was first Version and he needed to change Icon... and name... to bypass QA...

[Q] Tips on building images for the WM 6.5 emulator

I did some searching because i need a sense rom for the WM emulator to help me test a program i'm working on and i came up with nothing. So i figured it would be a good idea to try and cook one but i need some tips coz i've only ever cooked one rom before and it didn't really go well.
So thoughts and suggestions below please. I'm looking for kitchen suggestions etc.
Thanks guys.
try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774430 I find it easy to create a self customized rom.

Cool, thanks, but i don't see how i'm gonna make this compatible with the emulator in the windows mobile SDK? have you got any more pointers on how to do that?
My kitchen is designed to allow you to build the rom the way you want it. It then outputs the rom as a .nbh file that allows you to flash to the phone. Your emulator sounds interesting.
You may be able to use the .nbh file and then read that into your emulator.

Nope, can't do that. i tried it with a copy of NRGZ28's energy rom. It has to be a .bin or .nb0 file.
Now i did some reading while i was writing this and it turns out a .nb0 file is the same as the old school .nb rom dump files i just need to figure out how to convert an nbh to a nb0 file
Thoughts?
*edit*
found a tool called nbhtool by dutty that should do it
*edit 2*
dutty's tool didn't do it but i did find this tool by Da_G. The problem is i still get invalid image errors from the sdk emulator. I have searched but not found any answers so i'm a little lost.
Any ideas, guys?
Hi,
Can you post here an nb0 that works on the emulator?
we can try to import on our kitchens and check if we can rebuild it with sense.
If we can make it works, we can save a lot of time of 'flashing' when testing changes.

The files in the emulator are actually .bin files but i gather that internally they are the same format. They are also 96mb in size so it's gonna take a while to upload to hotfile. I'll post back when i have a link for you.
Thanks for all the effort btw. I really do appreciated it.

M3PH, OsBuilder makes rom either in nbh, or in nb0 format. It's a professional tool - not just a "kitchen to cook".
HTCRIE (htc rom image editor) can extract the OS.nb from a .NBH file..
can you just rename the .nb to .nb0 if they are the same?
Ok i've got osbuilder. Had a quick read of the manual. Now what? do i need the sys/xip for a build? i am a complete noob at this so lots of help would be appreciated.
I've just tried to open an emulator image from the windows mobile 6 sdk with HTCRIE and got an invalid file format error. This is starting to become extremely frustrating. Especially as i can find any information on the actual format of the emulator bin files.
Did any of you guys get any luck with the file i provided? Coz i'm really stuck!
