[release] SpbWeatherUpdater 0.1 -- Weather Update despite Proxy-Restrictions (e.g o2)

Hi Guys,
i wrote a small C#-Application for updating SpbWeather (maybe it should work also with other Weather-Applications) despite Proxy-Restrictions (like Vodafone, o2 etc.). This program emulates a normal Wap-Browser (with an exact User-Agent) and downloads a Weather-html-File of your choice to your PDA. In combination with Pico-WebServer and some little tweaks , SpbWeather updates with this local file.
First of all, it is a beta program. Use this program at your own risk. I will take no responsibilities for malfunctions or/and unintentional data traffic (and costs). It should be working fine, but nobody is perfect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, here is the Step-by-Step guide what you have to do:
1. Install the lastest Microsoft Compact .Net-Framework on your PDA (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=9655156b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55)
2. SpbWeather
You need a actual version of SpbWeather (it should be with working with other Weather-Programs too, e.g. HTC Weather or PocketWeather)
3. Download the SpbWeather-Template from Spb-Weather-Forum (or somethere else) you want to use. I attached a working template for www.wetter.com
4. Edit the Template-File and search the line "open_url(.......)" . Edit the value in the brackets to open_url("http://localhost/wetter.htm", "GET"); (the name of the .htm - file its your choice).
5. Copy the .tpl - File in the templates - Folder of SpbWeather and add a new City with this edited Template.
6. Install Pico Webserver on your PDA ( http://http://www.tucows.com/preview/200784)
7. Start Picowebserver, goto Settings and edit the Alias Settings. You can choose the default path of the webserver or you can choose another path. But remember this path, we'll need it. Now start the Server.
8. Ok, now you need the WeatherUpdater. Just copy it to a location of your choice and start it. Go to "Settings" and configure the Programm. There are five entrys you can edit.
a. WebServer:
Enter the complete url of the weather site and your town: (wich matched to the template you use for Spb Weather). In my case the Url is: http://www.wetter.com/mobile/wetter.php?id=43367&type=WORLD (enter wetter.com/mobile and you can search your town)
b. Local Web-Server
Enter the Path to the Root-Directory of your Picowebserver (see 6.)
c. Name html-File:
Enter the Name of the htm(l)-file to download...it must matched with the name you edited in the template-File (see 3.)
d. Update on Start:
Downloads the html-Weather-File on Programstart
e. Update-Interval:
Choose an interval for updating the Weather-html-File. You can chosse values between 1 and 1440 minutes. (1min - 24h). Remember, it produces data traffic you have to pay for (or you have a flatrate etc., that's your own risk)) In my example, one update produces 15kb of data traffic. Check various templates with less traffic (maybe less weather info).
With runnig Picowebserver and WeatherUpdater in the background, you can now Update SpbWeather every hour.
What do do next:
-----------------
a. It would be fantastic to integrate the webserver functionality into WeatherDownloader. But i've to check out how to make a Webserver in C#. Maybe someone can help me
Please report any bugs or wishes for further versions.
b. automatic installation with a cab-file and AutoStart functionality
c. HowTo for other Weather Programs like HTC Weather and PocketWeather
d. and many many more features

======================
Additional Work
======================
Missing Available Tabs:
===============
If there are any missing tabs from the available tabs list, then send me the details so I can generate a resource file.
Extra Features (To Do):
==========
At some point I will update the app to read the configuration keys (if available) and generate the file using the order defined there (plus re-generate the keys to keep disabled tabs disabled).
Graphics:
======
If anyone is interested, I can add icons to help determine the states of the tabs...just need some graphics!
Possible State Icons for tabs:
Tab Installed & Present - in the tab control file & on the device (Installed Fine)
Tab Not Installed & Present - not in the tab control file but on the device (i.e. Available to add)
Tab Installed & Not Present - in the tab control file but not on the device (!Warning State! Sense will probably fail to run)
Tab Not Installed & Not Present - not in the tab control file or in on the device
Also the icon could indicate if the source is from XML file or the tab control file (only applies to the installed ones - not installed ones will always be xml).
====================
User Manual
====================
I'll try to update this with new information as and when I get time, hopefully the app isn't too difficult to understand.
Control Sense Page:
============
This page controls sense...
[Start Sense]:
If sense is not selected in the Today Plugin, this adds and triggers sense to start.
[Stop Sense]:
If sense is running, or set in the Today Plugin to run, this will remove it and trigger it to close.
[Restart Sense]:
This will cause sense to restart (by removing and adding it from the Today Plugin).
Note: Any changes to your Tab Control File (26948339_manila) are ignored.
[Reset Sense]:
The same as [Restart Sense], but will also cause it to re-build by removing the ManilaFull.xml file.
Note: If you have changed your Tab Control File (26948339_manila) any changes will be re-built in this process.
[Full Reset Sense]:
The same as [Reset Sense], but will also delete the configuration registry keys (this is required when you add/remove tabs for them to initialise correctly and for them to show up in the Tab Re-arrange page within the Sense Settings Tab).
Note: Any tabs disabled via the Sense Settings Tab will be re-enabled!
[Soft Reset]:
This simply restarts your device, quite often sense will not re-start correctly without at least one reset.
Tab Control File [Update]:
If you have generated a new Tab Control File (26948339_manila), this option will replace your existing file (creating a timestamped backup within the SenseUtil folder) and [Full Reset Sense].
Tabs (Loaded) Page:
============
On start up, this page shows the contents of the Tab Control File (26948339_manila).
[Build]:
Once you have made adjustments to the list, you can build a new file (which you can then view using a suitable text editor and check if you wish).
Tab Source [#]:
This toggles the source of the tab data:
Default=Your original Tab Control File
File=The loaded xml resource file
Note:
If the tab is not available (the xml file does not exist) then the source will not change. Also if you delete and re-add a tab which was in your tab control file, it will not be able to be set back to Default - you will need to Reload the data fresh.
Remove [-]:
Removes the tab, the tab will no longer be installed.
Shift Up [^] and Shift Down [v]:
Allows you to adjust the default positions of the tabs.
Tabs (Available) Page:
============
This page will show you the tab's which are available (loaded from the Resource Folder xml files).
When you select an item, you will be able to see if the tab's keyfile is Present On Device or not, this provides an indication of if the files required for the tab are on the device
Note: Only the keyfile is checked - there will be additional files required for the tab/sense to function.
Various details about the tab are also available, if a custom tab links to the tab's development and release pages should be provided.
Add Tab [+]:
Allows you to add a tab to your Tab Control File, if the tab is not detected as Present On Device you will be warned that Sense probably will not start (you will need to install the correct tabs files on your device).
Add All [+All]:
This will add all the tabs which are detected as Present On Device but not currently in the Tab Control File.
Note:
Only the keyfile is checked - there will be additional files required for the tab/sense to function. So be sure you have correctly installed all the required files for a particular tab.
Settings Page:
============
Provides various options for the app.
Register to Today Softkey:
[Set Action/Contacts)]​
Only recommended if you use the app a lot as it provides an easy way to start up/control sense if it has not loaded.
[ ] Advanced View:
This allows you to see all the data which the app collects about the installed/available tabs and uses to do what it does. Useful for debugging issues with the resource files or problems with the app itself.
[Reload Files]:
This will read in your Tab Control File again, and reload all the resource Xml files (for the available tab list).
Note: Any changes you've made to your Tab Control File in the app will be discarded.
Command Line Options:
============
SenseUtil add 6B54437C_manila
- Adds the specified tab, leave other tabs as they are
SenseUtil renew
- Replaces all tab details with data from the xml files (leaves any not found in the xml files as they are)
SenseUtil addall
- Adds any tabs which are not in the tab control file but found on the device (checking for the key mode9 file), the other tabs are left as they are. New tabs are added at end before settings tab.
SenseUtil addallnew
- As above, but other tabs are replaced with details from the xml files (leaves any not found in the xml files as they are)
SenseUtil remove 6B54437C_manila
- Removes the tab if installed on the device
Shortcuts:
========
By using the shortcuts, it is assumed that SenseUtil is installed to device location:
"\Windows\SenseUtil\"
Code:
i.e For FbTab:
Add Shortcut:
54#"\Windows\SenseUtil\SenseUtil.exe" add 51B6F88A_manila
Remove Shortcut:
57#"\Windows\SenseUtil\SenseUtil.exe" remove 51B6F88A_manila
For other tabs, look up the xxxxxxxx_manila file in the resource section and replace 51B6F88A_manila (note: the 54# and 57# need not change since the length should remain the same). Or post a request and I'll upload suitable shortcuts!
Note:
1. Before using the shortcut you must install the correct files for the tab in the correct location (if files are not present the tab will not be added).
2. System may need Soft-Reset (turn off and on again) for sense to restart correctly (you will be prompted to wait and see if sense starts).
3. The order set by the settings tab will be reset by this process.
Code:
[SIZE="5"]===============================
Application Manifest - What I Planned To Achieve
===============================[/SIZE]
The plan is a simple program which reads the tab control file (file 26948339_manila) and allow you to add/remove tabs using a simple xml file to provide the correct info.
MoonNah's ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116[/url]) B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab is an excellent tool which simply re-generated the list based on the files it found within the windows dir, worked well except there was no indication that is was successful or what it had done.
I think it would be quite simple to extend the idea a little further by creating an app with a gui which then searched it's local folder for xml files. The xml files will be named to match the key mode9 filename for each tab:
i.e. RSS Tab = \windows\htc\people\RssFeed.mode9 = 6B54437C_manila
[B]So there would be a xml file called 6B54437C_manila.xml which contains the data for the tab:[/B]
[CODE]<Page Order="X" Name="rssfeed.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_RSSTITLE]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\RSSFeed.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\RssFeedicon.mode9" Component="RssFeed_Preview"/>
</Page>
So the app would look for each of the xxxxxxxx_manila files in the windows directory and then allow the user to add/remove any tabs which are present on the system. This would also allow users to totally disable any "problem" tabs more effectively than via the config keys.
The xml files could also have a full list of required files (which could also be checked), perhaps a link to obtain the latest release, the app could then be released with xml files for all current tabs and any new ones so users can easily see what is available and obtain them.
The app would also handle the disabling and resetting of sense so that the changes are correctly made.
Also the app could support command line option to install a specific tab if present (not making any changes to the others), which can then be used by cab files.
Note: Software is able to set today screen softkeys for easy use, but a proper soft-key manager is available here if you decide you want to set them to something different:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388281
I will have a try at making the app myself but my time is very limited so any help will be greatly appreciated. But I do think that such a program would be very useful for those who have problems editing their tab control file (file 26948339_manila).
Let me know what you think?
======================
Language Title Fixes
======================
Custom Tabs (like RSSTab/Facebook Tab display IDS value on 1st run)
This is because the translation file used for the tab titles is separate to the tab's own language file.
I will update senseUtil to allow the users to update the files using a shortcut, but until I've completed and tested that, I've included a zip file of the required files.
CAB INSTALL:
Install meltwater_LangTitleUpdate_v01.cab. - 155views
Reset sense.
MANUAL INSTALL: - 149views
Unzip and copy the files into your devices \windows\ directory, and then reset sense.
Please let me know if you have any problems or if you have updates for the contained translations (I've only updated the ones I've already got translations for).

Well my thinking is, if we can make the "black art" a little "lighter" then it opens things up for novice users (like I was once) and brings fresh ideas and talent in.

Ok, I've created an outline project in CodePlex, I will start putting in some basic stuff and see how I get on.
Time is limited for me, so if someone else is interested in working on this too then they are welcome. The source is easy to download, and I will happily add you to the project if you wish to upload your progress directly.

Excellent idea! ThumbsUp for this

1st Release!
Ok, I've put some starting stuff in (attempting to control sense).
Need some people to test it, I think there is an issue with starting sense again although not sure what. Soft-reset and it will comes back (assuming you've not changed anything else).
Sense Control Tab:
Start Sense - Clears the entry in the Today page for HTCSense
Stop Sense - Sets the entry in the Today page for HTCSense
Restart Sense - Does Stop and then Start with a delay in the middle.
Reset Sense - Same as Restart Sense but deletes the ManilaFull.xml file (which will cause sense to re-initialise - file will be regenerated)
Full Reset Sense - Same as Reset Sense but also clears the configuration keys (required when you add/remove a tab)
Settings Tab:
Allows you to register the app with the Today page softkeys (gives easy way to get sense running again!).
CAUTION: Only set to restore the defaults on my phone (LSoftkey=Action Page RSoftkey=Contacts).
Keys effected by this setting are:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

Tester
I can try to test the app if you want.
Using Jackos ROM with Sense 2.5.20181527.0
But I flash relatively often so I'm able to test it on some different versions.
Could you point me out what I should do now (what to download, what to pay attention on)?

Hey meltwater!
I see you've gotten tired of manually updating people's Tab Control files .
Great idea - I wish I had some programming knowledge so that I could help. Unfortunately I do not. How difficult would it be to learn? What software would I need?

Excellent!
So far it only has the basic sense control buttons in, so it would be help to check that they work correctly. My testing has shown that it sometimes has issues with starting sense, but that could be down to my sense setup (it's not very stable due to CHT and my own development work...).
At the moment, I seem to also have some issues with the softkey settings (but I'm happy I can continue testing that, issues with permissions etc I think).
From the codeplex changeset package (the zip file you download) you will only need the SenseUtil.exe (later on anything in the \Debug directory as files are added).

Well more accurately... tired of some users...although having an easy way to reset sense etc will be very handy. Plus does seem to be the number 1 cause of issues.
It is a good as project as any to learn how to program on (nice mix of changing the registry, reading files and standard .net forms). You will need something like Visual Studio 2008 Professional though (you can get 90 day trials quite easy - let me know and I'll find you one).
I'm quite happy to help guide you (or anyone else interested) as far as I am able (although my code should not be taken as a prime example of how to code - it's not my trained area of programming).

OK, it's time for first impression
From the Sense control tab everything seems to be working cool. I tried each option in the first tab several times and Sense always started without problems.
I have one question though. After the first time I made a Full Reset (with the config keys) this button was inactive anymore. I recon that the keys are already deleted. But shouldn't they be redefined during Sense next start?
And I confirm the matter with softkeys. The first time I wanted to assign SenseUtil to right softkey, the "Unexpected error" appeared (right after I confirmed I was sure) and I had to kill the app. However the second time each left and right softkey worked.
But the Set (Action/Contacts) button never worked. There is always Unexpected error when I tap "OK" in the message box. Below I present the details of the error.
Code:
SenseUtil.exe
ObjectDisposedException
w System.ThrowHelper.ThrowObjectDisposedException(String objectName, ExceptionResource resource)
w Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.EnsureNotDisposed()
w Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.EnsureWriteable()
w Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.SetValue(String name, Object value, RegistryValueKind valueKind)
w SenseUtil.Settings.SetSoftKey(Int32 selkey, String text, String url, Boolean confirm)
w SenseUtil.SenseUtil.buttonRegDefaultSoftKey_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
w System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e)

w Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop(IntPtr hwnMain)
w System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form fm)
w SenseUtil.Program.Main()
I hope this all helps. I would also like to learn programming, but it needs more time than I actually have...

Good testing thank you!
The config keys are only generated when you rearrange the tabs, plus I only set the enable/disable of the buttons on start up of the app and following a press.
I think I've corrected the exception, but still not 100% sure about the keys (it is enough to make it work though).
Currently reading up on xml, long over-due I learned how to use it properly! Will have a new version in a few days hopefully.
Ok read through all the material I found on xml, (a good tutorial http://www.csharpkey.com/csharp/xml/Lesson01.htm) will now find out how much isn't supported in compact .net. Fortunately no real surprises, how I've been dealing with xml has been fine (although missed a few tricks). There's also some open source solutions around which I may look into (but for this it's probably fine keeping it simple, it's more suitable for the work I'm doing with RSS feeds).

Ok, new release!
Just put in loading of the xml files which contain the tab information which can be added. Should give a good idea of how things will work!
Will add options to filter the list etc.
Will read the tab control file next, then see if I can add/remove tabs!

OK, I downloaded, unpacked, loaded on my phone and.... realized that I have Sense 2.1 currently so I won't test it at once.
But just for your info, the Stop/Start sense, and Restart works even with Sense 2.1.19202517.0
Of course in the "Tabs Loaded" I have nothing, and in "Tabs Available" everywhere I see Not Present On Device. I could only test the overall behaviour of the app but this hasn't changed much. Still the "Set" button gives me the unexpected error, so I'm useless this time.
As soon as I will flash something with Sense 2.5 I will test it immediately and report back (this unfortunately won't happen until at least tomorrow).
Sorry...

If you still have 2.1 on, does it use the tab control file in the same way?
i.e. What is the 26948339_manila file like (can you post it?).
"Tabs Loaded" does nothing at the moment anyway, not reading the file yet. The update was to put in my current work in progress.
"Tabs available" I guess the filenames are different for sense 2.1, but can't see why we can't have a set of xml files for 2.1 as well if it works in a similar way. So far I've only created files for the ones on my system and a few which I've had before, I know there are a few missing to add.
Interesting the "set" button gives an exception, thought I'd covered that on my device (will look into it).
Cheers.

Here's the Tab Control file from Manila 2.1.1920.2517. It seems to contain similar information, but it contains a LOT more . . .
NOTE: This is from the VGA ported version, but I'm sure the differences are minor (if at all) . . .

I would guess that 2.1 does not have the _page.xml files, since that is what the manilafull.xml file looks like, a combination of the tab control and each of the related _page.xml files! Looks like the mode9 files don't include any of the path info beyond the HTC bit, hence why the filenames are probably different.
I'll not worry too much about it for now, interesting though.
Will upload my latest, simply because I'm calling it a night... Populated Tab(Installed) page with some data from the TabControl File - note the buttons will stay disabled (only put in for layout). Oh and the url links on the Tab(Available) aren't enabled yet either.
Update on codeplex now.

This is my WVGA control file for comparison. I haven't heared about any custom tabs for Sense 2.1 so I didn't thought you would be interested in it at alll.

@meltwater:
sorry to say that, but i have all the time when i start the version 4851 an error popup. Please see the screenshot:

See if the version before that works (since the exception is referring to InitialiseTabLists() which hasn't changed). I added a function before InitialiseTabLists() in the latest, which loads up the sense tab control file (but doesn't seem like it is that). Anyway, will check that there is suitable checking of things to avoid the exception, still building the basics.
Hopefully next time should be able to have a go at matching the tabs found in the file with the ones loaded, then generate a new file.
Cheers

WM65 (English/German) OS Builder Kitchen + ROMs for Typhoon based on Aleut's WM65 ROM

Final update: (diff from 20120408):
cleaned up some resource files (saving quite some space)
added icons to those which had none
made provxml tracing the same for all
added some small games (these eat the saved space from above)
added an option panel to setup the volume of VoiceTag (from my other kitchen)
made D3Demo an extra package
added the very latest NetCF 3.5 as modules in an own package
added a few more color schemes and backgrounds
patched the keyboard driver to not require a dedicated subdirectory "Keys" in \windows
patched the nk.exe to identify itself as "TYPH100" to allow better skin selection for remote access tools
renamed mtty to the correct name (was mmty.exe)
fixed the welcome.exe for the German Mui to correctly delete the welcome.lnk from autostart at first boot.
removed the _cabs folder form the kitchen. Get it from an older kitchen
Updated 2012 04 08: A new update to the kitchen folder. The older OS Builder stuff is moved to a dedicated subfolder. Now SDHC cards are supported and a later version of USBFN is bundled only with WM5torage (not recommended on Typhoon).
Updated: 2012 01 15: The old batch kitchen is moved to a dedicated folder in the Mediafire share. You find now a much improved OS Builder (see post 3) Kitchen as well as a set of ready-to-use builds to download. I have also updated the list of included programs below.
Here it is finally - another port of the batch kitchen I had once taken from Nitrogen for the Tornado and ported to Hurricane already - the simple kitchen for the Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus.
The default settings were cooked to a ROM already, so you may want to try that first before you cook yourself (which is very easy, even for noobs).
It is completely localized for German keeping the English from Aleut's original WM65 ROM. He already had published a kitchen for that device here at XDA, however only as a side-note in an existing thread asking for WM65.
I have updated some applications to the last available version, added some OEM packages from the Tornado kitchen and merged some from the Ginza MS100 kitchen - also a device with QQVGA and a WM65 kitchen.
As this device has a limited ROM size of 27MB (x'1b00000), the tweaking of size and available applications was a major activity. All changes done to the original files are left in a separate folder in the kitchen.
The default settings for cooking are containing the following applications:
20MB base package (all options off in OSBuilder), leaving 7MB of additional ingredients to push in, my choice for you:
.NET CF 3.5 already on-board
T9 English and German
WM6.5 Menus (skinned) (selectable in the kitchen, not in builds anymore)
full Media Support:
Arcsoft MMS 3.5.2.15C
HTC Camera (as it always was)
Media Codecs (common filetypes, also midi works as ringtones)
Cyberon Voice Dial
WM-player supports the additional keys for the Amadeus (SDA Music)
More Entertainment:
Kevtris 2.0, a great Tetris clone with nice additional options (sliders, weird blocks etc.) - keeps your joystick busy. (*)
several Bluetooth profiles (updated from S740 aka Rose):
Bluetooth SAP (Sim Access Profile)
Bluetooth FTP Client (HTC BT Explorer)
Bluetooth A2DP included (with settings) but it only works on lowest quality due to HW limitations (removed now)
GPS Intermediate drivers (from WM5&6) including setup program. This allows to share one BT GPS receiver for several applications at the same time.
HTC Comm Manager. This allows to set the Radio really OFF if you have no or no valid SIM Card. After 3 minutes the radio gets back on otherwise even if shut off with MS-wrlsmgr. Once after 3 minutes off-time it stays off even after reboot. [Edit 20120324:] It is not necessary to have HTC CommManager do this - the normal MSWrlsmgr can do the same, provided that you do not leave it with "done" but keep it running for these 3 minutes in background.
Many other tools:
Total Commander 2.5ß3 (*)
WM5torage 1.9 [Edit 20120324:] The usbfn.dll which can handle the WM5torage driver is creating problems with parallel Music Playback and any USB connection (also AS via RNDIS or Serial) It seems that some I/O ports are used the same. You better avoid using that when cooking.
maniac's Autokeylock
MortScript 4.2 (*)
Easter Uninstaller (*)
Oxios Memory
Vito Copy/Paste
FEADIE (managing file extension for Internet Explorer) (*)
Modaco NoData
Clear Type Power Toy (adjust the Gamma for CT)
Mobile Config: an XML based registry tweaker (only in the kitchen)
Caller Location core (vibrate on connect)
Multi Flashlight
Safe Inbox Extender
* (in the non sliding panels build only)
The pagepool used is now 4MB to give a suitable performance (was only 2MB in previous setup - very slow). However you can adjust this with tools included in the kitchen if you want to change it. ROM size and Storage is fixed on the device, so you have 27.97 MB total storage and free are 24.64. Mind that packages you save from the ROM are not giving you gain in storage space, so keep the ROM filled to the 27MB with what you consider useful.
RAM is tight here anyway, best gain is if you don't use the sliding homescreen and disable the Camera Driver.
I have also added some options regarding key definition to the Tweaks settings. This allows to select the keyboard driver for Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus and also to activate the additional WMP plugin for the Amadeus.
So finally here is the share to get all: http://www.mediafire.com/?3tt15dyp4mbuu
Please hover the mouse over the download links to see their description.
Finally you may want to look at the Beginners Guide for Cooking which you find linked in my signature - this give some insight of what is happening.

Some more info on available memory (RAM) which is really tight on this device. You can roughly save RAM in the following order:
> 2MB: Don't use the sliding panels homescreen. Unfortunately this is the nicest visible sign of WM6.1/6.5 - but if you just use the "Windows Standard" Homescreen there is more than 2MB gain in RAM!
> 1MB: De-activate the Camera driver, all SDA Business users (without camera anyway) should do that!
~ 500kB: De-activate the Date/Time save driver. If you don't mind setting the date/time by hand after battery removal or have the device connected to the PC anyway with AS.
I have not noticed a gain when de-activating the Carkit driver.
For clean conditions when testing, please always reboot the device after changing settings. I noticed that even unchanged settings will not produce identical values after reboot. Tests were done with clean reboot, full initialisation of the Homescreen and then starting Oxios Hibernate.

Nobody seems to care about this old stuff anymore :-(
Mediafire has logged 19 downloads of the built ROM and 15 of the kitchen, but not a single "thanks" in the thread - if you use it, just say thanks for my motivation, please.
Anyway I have migrated the kitchen to OSBuilder which has more tweaking options regarding Kernel parameters and also gives more other control over the build.
Is anyone interested in getting the relevant OS Builder package?
You need to install OSBuilder first and can then start cooking right away after you have the package that I could publish.
In the process of dealing with the very limited amount of RAM especially for the Typhoon I had to reverse on 2 things I did in the past for the sake of squeezing ROM and RAM space. Both have adverse effects to what is initially intended. I had published and discussed this in detail in this thread. So you must avoid the following:
Cutting down the Paging Pool to the bear minimum (so the device still boots). This gets you free RAM, true - but it will cut you off the space in RAM where the code of the programs goes! So a small paging pool will actually prevent that you can run many programs, despite of the free RAM. So it is advisable NOT to cut the paging pool below 4 MB in my experience.
Using UPX to squeeze ROM space. While it works to get more data stuffed to the ROM, the resulting executable will no more be able to utilize the paging pool for its execution. The whole code goes to the free RAM and not just the currently used part in the paging pool. So by saving ROM space (or filesystem space in general) with UPX you are wasting actually RAM a lot!
Because of 2.) above I have reverted to all original packages - so no UPX anywhere in the ROM build or any related package. I had to remove a few things from the default package selection, but nothing that cannot be installed later anyway. Due to non working A2DP I have also removed that again completely.

Another find related to fixing the problem that System Volume gets reset when changing the profiles, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407883

Kitchen Updated to OS Builder, new example builds included
To those who want to get the fastest and most advanced kitchen and builds available for Typhoon. You can pick from Mediafire:
a 7Z with 4 builds to flash the device with, 2 sorts with either English or German as default language (you can change in the regional settings anyway).
a 7Z with the OS Builder Kitchen setup. Install OS Builder first (See post 3 pointing to the OSB thread), unpack the kitchen to any folder convenient, then double-click on the .osb file to fire up the kitchen.
Cooking is pretty much self-explanatory - in the end you get a OS.BIN file that can be uploaded to the device via MTTY.exe. All tools are included in the kitchen 7Z and can either be used directly from the folder or via the Tools Menu in OSB.
I have added two folders to the kitchen. One for most of the packages in their original distribution files; so if these are not in your build, just in stall them manually. The other to trace the provxml execution - which is something you may never need to do.
For the packages to select, the OSB allows to group packages to switch-groups. One of the important switch groups is the one for .NetCF. This package is the most storage hungry and so there are several ways how to deal with this in the context of the 27MB limit of the ROM:
Include the whole package to ROM: this puts all to the imgfs which is compressed with LZX - and so the total cost is ~2.9MB
Exclude the whole package and gain ROM space for any other stuff to include. You should then also exclude all .NetCF dependant tools or install .NetCF later from a CAB to get them working again. As there is one basic program (the calculator) which depends on .NetCF I have replaced this with the old WM2k3 calc.exe in case you select this package - saving another 120k. So in total you gain 3 MB in the ROM. Mind however that a later installation will eat ~1.2 MB on the FATFS in the device (Program Storage) and another 5 MB on either SD card or again on FATFS - depending on what you choose to install it to.
Include only the files that go to the device mandatory anyway, but not on FATFS when installed later but on the IMGFS, hence compressed and eating only 750k in ROM. The rest of files (the 5MB *.GAC) go then to either FATFS on the device or to the SD card. You can select this in the kitchen when building the ROM. Later you must copy these *.gac files manually to the right place. The package with these files is in the _packages folder of the kitchen.

I have done the final works on that kitchen and will not further do anything to it. You find the updated kitchen in the mediafire share of the first post. Download the file "Typhoon-OSB-kitchen-20120306.7z" there. Recent fixes are:
MMS dialogs use a smaller resource file for 176x220
Kernelflags are set to ...02 now to keep the MMS dialogs readable when you change the folders
CallerLoc is replaced by a dedicated tool (with understandable dialogs) CallVibrate
Sliding Panel background is fixed (was offset on the top-bar)
Some more tools added and instructions how to get back to WM2003 if needed
Mind that the created builds fit for any Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus as you can switch/reboot the keyboard drivers.
Have fun and give some feedback if you created your own builds.
Candy-bar forever

SDHC on Typhoon (and Hurricane)
Hard to believe - but it is there: SDHC support on the Typhoon
No magic actually but just good luck that the Tornado driver (which is actually one form the StartTrk) for SDHC works as well on the Typhoon and Hurricane (which share the same drivers in their original builds).
You need to re-cook to get this. Related modules are attached, including the advice what to do (just 3 modules and related .rgu entries).
To get SDHC support in a cooked new build for Typhoon and Hurricane, do the following:
1.) remove the 3 modules in the ..-original folder from your OEMDRIVERS folder
2.) remove the entries from the contained original.rgu from the one in your OEMDRIVERS folder
3.) copy the 3 modules from the ..-sdhc folder to your OEMDRIVERS folder
4.) copy the entries from the contained sdhc.rgu to the one in your OEMDRIVERS folder
re-cook and enjoy

I have not done much testing yet, but some obvious checks have worked well.
So if there is anyone out there still owning these oldtimers: time to get them off the drawer and put some fresh fuel in - Typhoon and Hurricane make perfect music players.

Latest updated (the real final one).
Uploaded a new complete Kitchen including SDHC support and new USBFN bundled with WM5torage only (see first post). I do not recommend to use WM5torge with Typhoon - it is too slow anyway, you better get the card out and fill it external from the device with an USB reader.

now the real final one
20121003 Update (since no new posts allowed anymore):
Just to let you know: The SDHC lets the device also read FAT32 formatted SDXC cards (e.g.64 GB). It even reads more than one partition (I have 2 on my Android) and mounts both of them (32k Cluster size used).
Not sure how well the performance will be when managing data there - but reading a large music collection should be ok
So after I sold all my Typhoon devices (except a few you just cannot sell due to their physical state) - the latest small update to the kitchen.
What I have changed (diff from 20120408):
cleaned up some resource files (saving quite some space)
added icons to those which had none
made provxml tracing the same for all
added some small games (these eat the saved space from above)
added an option panel to setup the volume of VoiceTag (from my other kitchen)

added the very latest NetCF 3.5 as modules in an own package
added a few more color schemes and backgrounds
patched the keyboard driver to not require a dedicated subdirectory "Keys" in \windows
patched the nk.exe to identify itself as "TYPH100" to allow better skin selection for remote access tools
renamed mtty to the correct name (was mmty.exe)
fixed the welcome.exe for the German Mui to correctly delete the welcome.lnk from autostart at first boot.
removed the _cabs folder form the kitchen. Get it from an older kitchen

Hi all, just got my O2ZPhone II (Feeler) out of the pile of goodies, would like to use it for my second phone.
The OS on it is still wm2003, trying to go for this WM65 ROM, I found that the SPL is on 1.01.0139 on this phone, which I try to go for the 109 with no luck, and mtty report error in bootloader too...
Anyone any idea on how should I get this WM65 ROM flashed to this great phone?
Thanks.

If the phone is still original, then you have to go all steps which you find in either the kitchen-tools menu or the tools folder directly:
application unlock old OS (SDA Application unlock)
apply Super CID to the phone (lokiwiz.bat, "C")
load new SPL to the phone
create new ROM (get OS Builder from the referenced thread)
upload with mtty.exe
Steps 1-3 need to be done only once per device.
I would not use the old os.bin I had uploaded as the latest kitchen can produce better ones and you have the choice what to put in or out. The default settings deliver a running build (you may want to remove the "German default" though).

thanks tobbbie, for some reason I downloaded the wm61 one, and yes with your great instructions I was able to flash that to the device and now happy using it!
(Will try the kitchen during the weekend)
Great thanks!

Keep it
Hi Lohtse,
This device is unique I spend days wake up without sleep to solve the problem of the apps and I realize something important
The problem is bad target system management by Microsoft development tools
Microsoft store is so dumb there is many helpful app but it want appear just by search
Some of the is apps "on papers" not match with your device system version but in reality you can install it and it will work
Now let me tell you it's not totally bad device if you get the exact apps on it, it will be almost like your laptop with many helpful staff
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB
Transfer files via SFTP without using the USB cable
Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this
And more..
Second
here list of apps you might have some of it but with old version:
Before you start just install the official AppInstaller to be able to install apps directly from the phone without alternative tool
Get it from here:
drive.google.com/file/d/1HfsBg8hiqlKBTroK0xvB45h_SiSBha_1/view
Also you need to read this because some of the apps need to modify the target system version before install otherwise it will not installed.

About Dual Boot & Windows 10 ARM
You know.. I broke my phone system more than 5 times one of them it was completely dead but I was able to recover it again,
the point is if you need to try go ahead it's good to see full windows run on a phone and able to run x86 apps as well.
But
Here is few points why it's not very important
Your mobile internal storage will be filled by 70% because of the windows partition
You need a usable phone to call and send messages, it's not comfortable to switch the boot each time
Windows 10 Mobile is almost the same base of the normal Windows it just Microsoft makes it useless but I hope someone will be able to install a service to run windows apps inside it as I discovered in Windows 10 ARM, I was surprised that some of x86 apps works very well.
If you faced any problem during the installation or you need any assist let me know.

Hi
WOW excellent response thank you so much for taking the time to reply as you have..
Could you possible explain this a little further
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB
Transfer files via SFTP without using the USB cable
Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this
And more..
As to navigation apps am more looking for OSM mapping as I create my own maps for hiking etc

Update
If you got a new phone usually many updates need to be installed, this will fix many problems and increase the performance.
Go to "Settings"
Update & Security
Check for update / Windows Update
if there is any update it will appear or you will see a message "Your device is up to date"
If the system need updates this will take some time, and it might be there is many update not only one so keep try until you get "Your device is up to date"
Unlock
Unlocking the system is based on your needs.
If you are using the phone for regular use you may keep it as it is.
What I was meaning with
Increasing Paging: Paging files will help to handle more applications in the background
SFTP: to transfer the data via wireless but it's totally optional you can still use the cable
Uninstall apps
If you tried to install the new version of i.e."Photos" it will not work because it's already installed.
so the solution is to remove the current app, but by default windows will not allow you to do that form the settings because it's built in.
As solution you can use "Interop Tools" by gus33000
Available Here:
Release Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 (Legacy) · gus33000/InteropTools
This is the latest release of Interop Tools from its Version 1 source with minor updates.
github.com
More details: Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0
Install / Sideload it (Check the guide below)
And go to "General"
Then Select "Applications"
Then Navigate to "Package List"
Search for the app you need to remove it.
You will see many packages related to the same app
In the bottom actions bar there is "4 lines" icon click on it to activate it.
Now select the packages you need to remove.
Click on the trash icon and wait until the app removed
Go to main screen to check if the app removed
If it's remove you can now install the new version
Note: I'm not sure if these steps works without unlocking I didn't tried before unlock, just try before to unlock it might work.
Install apps
Now Download the apps form the links and save them in custom folder.
Go to your device Settings
Select "Update & Security"
Select "For Developers"
Select "Developer Mode"
Activate "Turn on remote diagnostics"
Activate "Authentication"
Using your computer: open the browser and enter the link that appeared in the developer page in your phone
if you got security warning message ignore it and continue (it's normal)
On your phone press "Pair" Button you will see pin code
Enter this pin code in your browser page and click "Submit"
Now you can install the app called "AppInstaller" using the web page
Once you able to install "AppInstaller" you can almost install the other apps from you mobile directly.
Note your device and computer need to be on the same network
OSM Mapping
to be honest I never used it before so I will do some search about it.
If I got anything new will let you know.
I wish most of the descriptions is clear, if you need extra details please let me know.

I thought I had read somewhere that you can control how the flash functions(eg if all three flashes ar used or just one or two of them) I even thought I saw the setting.. But for the life of me I can't find out how to achieve this... Could someone point me in the right direction!!!!

This version requires downloading the extensions after logging in to insidewindows.net because there is no General - Applications option in the menu by default.
Have you tried the open source Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 made by @gus33000?

Increase the paging file (required unlocked device):
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "System"
Select "CurrentControlSet"
Select "Control"
Select "Session Manager"
Select "Memory Management"
Select "Paging File"
Now In "Registry Value Data" Change The numbers from 256 to 1024
The final value will be "u:\pagefiles.sys 1024 1024"
Click on the "right icon at the bottom" to save the result
To check if the result saved just reopen the "Paging File" again, If the result back to the original "256" maybe your device is not unlocked yet.
Reboot the device to apply the changes.
Change Screen timeout:
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "Software"
Select "Microsoft"
Select "Settings"
Select "Lock"
Select "DisableNever"
Set "Registry Value Data" to 0
Then go to settings and check "Never" will be available now with some extra values.

To be able to edit some of the protected registry values you need to do "Interop Unlock"
"Interop Unlock" will allow you to do almost everything you need.
Don't activate "Full Filesystem Access" In "Unlock" -> "Interop Unlock" it will not work with Lumia 950/XL and it might affect on the usb connection.
If you didn't find a clear guide for "Interop Unlock" let me know I will write a full guide based on my experiment because some of the details online line is very clear.

Thank you for that information worked a treat.
I have read that the FM radio is not activated on the 950xl, is this correct is so how do I reactivate it?
also is there away to have a bigger tile other than the three choices we have?

The radio is working by default, try this app (almost the best you could find)
Radio FM Phone
Sadly the tiles sizes are fixed as I know, if you want to add some design to the start page you can use this app
Group Tiles
and this app if you want to add custom tiles based on your needs
edgeTile
Check the attached image to see how I did some titles to organize the start page.

Thank you for that... and radio works great... Have to say am loving the 950xl.... only thing I am really missing is a good off route navigation/mapping app if I could find a good one then everything would be nearly perfect.
also is there away to install the original lumia camera app so we can get flash control(number of flashes used ) back?
finally how do I gain full access to the file system on the device???

does any one have the file for this
Lumia Cinemagraph (Official Store)
Cool app you can take photo and make part of it alive with repeated motion, just try it
microsoft.com/en-us/p/lumia-cinemagraph/9wzdncrfhx4d
will not let me download it from store to device as says not compatible with this device

It should work, ignore the compatible message just check the following:
the apps updated including "Microsoft Store" from "Menu" -> "Donwloads and updates"
there is no remaining system updates "Settings" -> "Windows update"
check if there is a "Get" button sometimes it's appear even of there is a compatibility message, click on the button if you found it.
If nothing above worked do the following:
Go to your PC
Be sure you are using the same email/account in both "Phone/PC"
Open the browser and be sure you are logged to your account/email
Open the link of the app
click on "Get"
a message will appear "you own this app"
once you get this message go back to your phone
Open Microsoft store -> Menu
Select "My Library"
Check if the app is there (you can sort the library by name which is better)
Click "Install" behind the app icon
The problem is some of the apps does not appear in Phone store but it will appear in PC store
so this trick will help you to get many apps in the same way,
but I think it will work only with the browser not the desktop app.

As per my experiments, gain the full access to the file system is not a big deal.
the files are protected anyway and some of the important folders assigned to custom users you can't have access, even if you was able to force replace the ownership of the folder and open it.. it will cause some issues with the system.
if you have something really important in the future it's better to use Mass Storage Mode, but accessing the file system while windows is running almost useless.
just don't use the feature in "Interop Tools" which called "Full Filesystem Access" I tried it before and it caused a problem with the connection with the computer I wasn't able to access the storage
