Just noticed there was a new NBH put up today at DZO's Site.
Does anyone know if this has GPS5.0 and the Bluetooth stuff built in?

yes and yes
which file would i use with no rootfs to work with the new installer?
the ones that do not include the word rootfs in the file name; these have the new installer. choose the resolution you want.

I would assume that the vogueimg-rootfs files are meant for vilords new no rootfs boot, correct?

incorrect. the ones that have rootfs in the name are meant to be used with the old rootfs. this was mentioned by dzo when he posted the second set of files. a quick way to find these things out is to find all post listed by a specific person - i.e. click on dzo's name and click find all posts; you'll know what he's been up to if he has documented it on the forum.
Nice seems to be working great far.

Hey everybody,
I'm cooking a WM6.5.x ROM for HTC Touch Pro / Fuze / Raphael (you call it how you like it). I'm using WM build 23699. Everything is fine, that's no problem But I have a question related to the kernel. I have not updated the kernel, so I only have slot 0 and 1. But are there much advances on updating my kernel to the 'native' one? And where can I find it? And how should I do it?
Thanks in advance!
MadMatt
The advantage to have a native 6.5 Kernel is that you will have a more smooth rom because you will not need to recmode any module thrn the standard for having a booting rom (Ntconfig.dll).
I dont know if it does exist for your phone but you must search for it in its thread,you need to search for Nk.exe.Once you will find it just replace it with the old one in OEMXIPKernel.

The NK.exe is the only thing you need? And is it possible that it is the same as the one from the HTC Diamond? (as the only difference between those two is the keyboard)
Yes ,only nk.exe you need and i doubt that Nk.exe from another device should works.

Okay, I'll search for the NK.exe. And OsKitchen will automatically detect that it is a newer kernel than?
If you will replace the old kernel then OsKitchen will does all the process automatically.

Good lord, update the kernel!!! There's one posted in the native kernel thread.
Here's the one I've been using. I think it's the latest. Just swap it into your xip folder and you'll be good to go. And quit recmodding!!!

Thanks, will I need to update OEMDrivers too? Because I read that sometimes that is needed too And will I be able to un-RecMod everything after updating the kernel?
Look for one of Da_G's kitchens (23016 was the last full one). It has the oem. But the drivers are all the same. I use drivers from the Orange/20779 final raphael rom. Convert all the drivers to modules.

Didn't understand what you are saying here So I need all the OEM packages execpt the OEMDrivers? The OEM packages I have right now are those from the RUU_Raphael_HTC_WWE_5.05.405.1_R_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe
Are that good ones too? Convert all drivers to modules? What do you mean by this? Convert the OEMDrivers in the OEM tab to EXT packages? (Using osKitchen)
Sorry, all you need is the 20779 or 20771 oem. But if you don't want to dump it yourself, get Da_G's kitchen, which is cleaned up a bit. The drivers aren't 6.5-specific. You should convert them all to modules, though.

Allright, if the drivers aren't 6.5 specific, then I can just convert my drivers I have now to EXT-packages?

Why convert them to EXT's? Just leave them in your OEM Drivers folder. And convert them to modules.

Okay. and how do I do that in osKitchen? This is my first kernel update
I don't use that kitchen, but if it doesn't have module creation built-in, get reversemod.exe and manually do the conversion by dragging and dropping the files onto the exe. You should do all the oem driver dll's (they get loaded at startup, anyway, and this will save some virtual memory).

I think you can use the patch of wpa_supplicant file from my build.. check out Jaws-MIUI-rc1 build..
use HD2ONE Build
or just replace the file as mentioned above.
I asked also on how to enable Ad-Hoc on my sense (when i was using it), but none of the methods worked for me (supplicant, .so modules, ecc). At the end i used the Connectify program on Windows 7 and this worked.
(Connectify is a Windows 7 software, that if you have a compatible wifi module, it will make it work as an AP instead of adhoc, and HD2 connects with no patches as it sees it as normal wifi and not adhoc)
very interesting post!!! I was looking for something like that but running MCCMjoon's Desire HD V2 and or V3.4. What files or what combination will work? Do not really want to flash to any other ROM at the moment
Thanks guys.
tnx
thanks for all replies.
so which patch i should use?

Itried to replace the file wpa_supplicant, but accidently i deleted the file from system/etc/wifi , i have a backup one but i cant copy it to the directory, i´m using astro file manager, when i try to put the file into that directory it gives an error.. some help would be nice, thanks..
Somebody, please please give me download link for this build! I tried to navigate to the corresponding thread, but due to some problem couldn't read! Please, give me the link. I just love this build!

Of course, Astro has no permissions to write in system folders! You need to use Root Explorer! I know it's paid, no warez here. PM me for further assistance.
I know that there are actually LOTS of "How to port ROMS" in this forum now.. but I would like to share a certain source I found that is actually fool proof
Here it goes!
find a ROM that is designed for the same CPU type and the same phone manufacturer. Any stock Gingerbread, ICS, or CyanogenMod 7/9 ROM should work, but you’ll have to make sure your phone can handle the ROM – no ICS for an HTC Hero, for example. Also, your Port ROM's original Phone should have the same RESOLUTION with that of your phone's.
You will need:
**Notepad++
**a compression program (WinZip or 7zip and etc)
**the ROM you want to port to your phone (let’s call it the "Port ROM")
**a ROM designed for your phone (let’s call it"Base ROM")

This guide may mention some files or directories that aren’t present in your particular ROM; don’t worry, just carry on.
On your PC, extract the .ZIP files containing the two ROMs, and navigate to /system/app in your extracted Port ROM and copy stk.apk, vpnservices.apk, camera.apk, and bluetooth.apk into a temporary directory somewhere else on your PC.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, delete the following folders from your Port ROM and replace them with the ones from your Base ROM: /data, /system/app, /system/framework, /system/fonts and /system/media.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From your Base ROM, copy /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so to the system/lib/ directory of your Port ROM, overwriting the file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next up, move the .APKs you copied earlier back into the /system/app directory of your Port ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open up /system/lib in your Port ROM and copy all the files and folders. Paste them into the Base’s /system/lib directory, replacing all. Then go back to the Port ROM and delete the /system/lib folder, and replace it with the /system/lib folder from the Base ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Next, navigate to the /system/etc/init.d folder in the Port ROM and do the same copy-from-Port, paste-to-Base, delete-from-Port, copy-from-Base, paste-to-Port shuffle as before.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Navigate to /system/etc/permissions and do that same copy-paste dance one more time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
open system/build.prop from both the port and the base ROM in Notepad++. Update the Base build.prop to match the values for “ro.build.description=” and “ro.build.fingerprint=” from your Port. Now save the Base build.prop, exit Notepad++, and copy the Base build.prop into the Port ROM, overwriting the Port build.prop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In Notepad++, open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from both your base and port ROMs. Edit the Port’s script to be like the Base’s updater-script: specifically, change, edit, or add the sections for permissions, ui_prints, asserts, run_programs, and installing the kernel. Don’t change any of the symlinks. In the Port script, make sure that the ‘format’ values are appropriate for your device (compare them to the Base script).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Finally, make sure that your kernel is specifically for your device.

Now, if you desire, you can update any apps you require, or add any tools like BusyBox or SuperSU.
And that’s it! Your base ROM is now ready to be zipped and installed on your device via Clockwork Mod!

Well that is to ensure "safety" when porting a ROM.. the guide i posted was a beginner's guide on how to port.. as you can see, almost 80% of the procedure is just basically copy&paste..
however, if you have a good background now in codes and porting things, i believe you may not follow step-by-step the procedures i stated above.

What about dual Sim ph?
Does anyone have any idea what would cause a "Modem Crashed Forced Upload Mode" on a port for SGS3?
I can't seem to pinpoint what causes that (I think it's a kernel panic but I could be wrong)
Looks like this would work on International Note 2 and Tmobile Note 2. They have the exact same hardware and everything. I was wondering about the last statement about kernel. Can't I just copy the boot.img from tmobile note 2 to international note 2 ? would that work ? I am not familiar with kernels and stuff. Need advice.
Thanks
Dear developers, I'm sorry for the noobie question, but I'm kinda trying to port apps myself, and I'm confused when it comes to which library is an app using (*.so files)....When I decompile an app, I noticed that if it is using a library, in the smiles somewhere in the code there is something like that "LoadLibrary(string***)" but there is no name of the lib written.....how do you figure out which is the lib that its using? And second, where do you get this lib from......because as I looked through some ported apps by You, dear developers, (like SyncHub from Xperia Z3 and Portrait Retouch from Xperia C3), You had included some libs in the apks, but I cant find those libs anywhere in the firmware itself.......So do You create those libs yourself, or....?
