Release : Initflashfile Editor+Builder in C# - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading

Hey all..its me again with a new App..Initflashfile Editor+Builder..Every thing is coded in C#
There are two Purposes of this Program :
1. To Build an initflashfile
2. To Hex Edit the Initflashfile and Remove the two extra bytes added by Notepad
Installation :
After you download the Program..there will be a Setup Utility..run it and make sure You DONT CHANGE THE DEFAULT INSTALLATION LOCATION as my Program will look for the files in C:\aher\initflashfile editor+builder\
a Shortcut will be created on your desktop
Requirments :
To speed up the app and use less resources i used .Net Framework 3.5
so you all will be needing .Net Framework 3.5 ( many computer have it now adays )
Instructions :
Once you fire up initflashfile editor+builder from the Desktop..you will see a windows with four Images on the right hand side..they have been labled..
Press the build button and my own initflashfile builder will start ..open a new document and when saving it save it to C:\aher\initflashfile editor+builder\ by the name of initflashfiles..now exit the Builder and Press the Edit Button..my script will run and it will remove the two bytes
MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THE INITFLASHFILE IN THE
C:\aher\initflashfile editor+builder\

What is the advantage of this over EditPad in editing the initflashfiles.dat?

well..i havent tried Edit Pad ..but my app Creates the initflashfile without the Two Extra bytes

great!!! let´s talk via msn... making a good job there! keep on!!
haven´t tried it yet. BUT my dream is to have an initflash generator...where i can drag and drop all files from a not complete made OEM pack from packacreator
and then the generator automaticly creates links to ALL files i drope??
maybe this is doing it...i will test

There is an app that does what u want
its called " Initflash files generator "..its in the HyperCore..but never got it to work

WM 6.5 Native Kernel/nk.exe/xip.bin for Kovsky

Hi friends!
I think the topic pretty much says it all;
This is a native WM 6.5 Kovsky OEMXIPKernel/xip.bin/nk.exe - aware of the new Slot 60/Slot 61 Module virtual memory layout - what does this mean for you as a chef?
Now you don't have to recmod any modules in \SYS anymore, to port over WM 6.5! And you have 64mb free to convert more files to modules!
But you will need to use a relocation tool that is aware of the new memory layout;
Ervius Visual Kitchen + Bepe's New Kitchen do this with the "Real WM 6.5 AKU" checkbox
There's also a build of "WMReloc" 2.0 floating around that may support this, that would be compatible with the "old style" kitchen (buildos + g'reloc, it would replace g'reloc)

visual kitchen v10.2 with XPR.... i noticed that the rom date is not valid....
can someone explain what this means to the layman please? you guys seem very excited about this
does that mean we should be excited about it as well? what are the benefits etc plesase
integrate to visual kitchen for kovsky
now have "real" wm6.5 on my device.
Big thanks Br.
Don't seem to be able to change the date with xipporterex in visualkitchen, when I press "Find Date/Version on \ROM\Xip\" is gives the following (see attached image).
So I'm not able to change the year since it is not loaded from ROM.
Anyone knows how to fix?
Very interested this. But not really sure if I understand what it is. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong. This is an ROM folder for the xperia? Not an Ported one but a real one right?
@Lokatho:
This is a common problem with XIPPorterEx and newer nk.exe - the method it uses to figure out which string is the version string does not work properly - if you change those incorrect values it's likely something will break.
Instead - use a hex editor, search for your version string - find it, and change it in the hex editor
This will work fine
The issue is with XIPPorterEx's algortihm - maybe you can report it to ervius, and he'll fix it up
very nice
thank you very much
not really sure what this is. but will it somehow bridge the big performance issue with x1 and the HD or TD2 (almost same specs but noticeably faster perormance)?
Does anyone still have this file? The link no longer works. Thanks.

Hi!
After a nights spent on cooking, making tools etc. I should publish it!
For all ramdisk lovers and haters, there you will get any option you want to install!
Screens in attachments
__________________________
How to install:
Unpack 7z file (winrar could help, 7z is best)
You will get RELEASE folder with 6 folders in, it's ramdisk sizes! Go into folder with ramdisk you need, then click upgrade.
anything fixed, gprs works, input menu works )
I also include newest aerokitchen with preconfigured 25006 (used to build this rom)
__________________________________________
Kitchen tutorial:
To build a single rom with ramdisk 0, open Start Automatic.bat file, and you don't have to do anything until upgrade screen will open! could take 7 minutes to build.
To build all ramdisks, click Start All Ramdisks.bat file, and better go do something, RELEASE folder will update to newest files you had built. It could take 30 or more minutes to build.

There is many nk.nba and nb.nbf files which are almost the same, just ramdisk settings will differ, but winrar can't see no difference and compress all files as normal, 7zip can see it and compress one file, then add differences only 7z is a god! Of course compression level was set to ultra
Ermm...
Ive got so feed back if your interested.
bubble breaker doesnt work and could you upload the theme for the beta you did because i liked that better. please?
flyboy
thank you.
aeroflyluby thank you.
bug found in contacts you can not see any details for person.(mobile number, notes all empty)
also you can not add a new contact,because there are no fields to enter details..
I tried 32MB Ram storage version..I don't know if others version have the same bug

I think that was not a god idea to port 25006, maybe we should port something newer?
Downloading now as we speak! .
Oh one request if you don't mind, can we have the background colour merges with the button colours (Windows, Contacts, Set) at the task bar? I don't really like oval buttons standing out of the background. I am not even sure if I am making sense here? .
I will report back as soon as I test it.
Thanks and Best Regards
Jay
I can confirm about the contacts not being able to add however strange thing I have noticed is that all my contacts were shown as duplicated until I rebooted the device again.
Not sure if that is what happend to anyone else as well?
Other than that I can see that the ROM is quite fast. I think I'll wait for the contacts to be fixed before trying another go.

Ye i can say its the fastest wm6.5 rom i have ever used. And i must of tryed about 10.
You could try porting 28014? (i think thats it)
flyboy
oh and i think the beta was better so iam switching back.
Hello,
to be honest the only thing stopping me to try this ROM now is the contacts list. I am heavily dependent on contact list since I hardly can remember anyone's number, so I can't really test it unless that is being fixed.

J
i use resco contact manager and the contack work.
maybe we can use free application

Camera Confirmed to work on Topaz!

Hi All
Today I found a combination (which might have been out there for a while) how the Camera actually is working for Topaz Android
1. Download the FRX04 version
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883966 check there for section "Topaz Users"
3. Don't forget the post "[23/01/2011] :" to dissable 2 rows in froyo.conf file
The Camera was able to startup and I took one Picture
The speed of the Cam.. well.. don't be to happy.. but it is working anyway
/olme
Yeah,works fine, but only 3 MP and without auto-focus,but it works more quick than im windows mobile.
Oh,but programm(name forgotten) in FRX04 for Rhodium(23.01.11) is more usable,you can make photo by pressing on volume keys
yes indeed WinMo is quicker.. but one step at the time This is the first time I ever on my Topaz and Android was able to even see that it was "connected" and that I could take a picture.
The next development will be that the rest of the goodies will appear such as speed and autofocus etc etc..
GOOD job Android Devs!
/olme
Please, keep in mind that it's in debug state, a branch of XDAndroid code made by viruscrazy.
If you want to help test it, follow the instructions in the first post and leave your logs there.
Thanks.

yes with provided topaz test kernel it's working till 3mp pictures
@5mp camera crashed... but this is allready known and developer asked for dmesg log files to finetune the driver...
-bl4ckb1rd
p.s. camera driver did not work with latest 01253 kernel
can any1 pls upload the conf file? because i couldn't find the 2 rows......
[23/01/2011] :
Updated Lib_package to fix the froyo.user.conf file (thanks to arrrghhh again, you're the "conf file" specialist) and the Blackstone picture crash (I hope...). If you are using latest FRX04 build and rootfs, you may have to disable the two following lines (add a "#" at the begginnning of the line) :
Code:
mount --bind /sdcard/lib_camera/libGLES_qcom.so /system/lib/egl/libGLES_qcom.so
mount --bind /sdcard/lib_camera/gralloc.msm7k.so /system/lib/hw/gralloc.msm7k.so
Could DEVs add camera to Gingerbread?
There is a new fix for 5MP. It works. You need the Kernel from 28.01.11 and the new attached Haret Version. Do not use the attached kernels and don't forget to write the line:
set INITRD_OFFSET 0x608000
under "set initrd initrd.gz" (Startup.txt)

MiUI WVGA/HDPI -> qHD Lockscreen Theme Conversion

*UPDATE 4*:
Previews of existing themes are now viewable upon mouse over of the theme names.
*UPDATE 3*:
I have now turned this into a web based program hosted on my personal website. Things to know before trying it out:
-It will convert both old style themes (those with lockscreen directories instead of files) and new style themes (most themes).
-It will supply you with a download link to your converted theme and also a link to every theme that has been converted thus far. Check to see if your theme is already there before uploading it.
-Uploads and downloads from my server may be a bit slow, but considering how small most of these files are, this shouldn't be a major issue.
-The upload file size is limited to 8 MB. If you have a theme bigger than that, remove all non-lockscreen files from it and repack it before uploading it.
-The file name can not have any spaces or special characters. If it does, just rename it so that it doesn't before uploading it.
-The conversion is still not (any will never be) foolproof. There will be some cases where you'll have to go into the manifest.xml file and manually update the values that were overlooked. As it is though, it seems to fully convert ~90% of themes with no further work needed.
-If my website is not responding, send me a pm or post here.
-If you have any questions/issues, post here.
-Enjoy
Link: http://betelicious.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/converter
*UPDATE 2*:
v0.2 attached! It now takes care of all the extracting and repacking for you. You basically just feed it an mtz file and it will handle the rest. This will currently only work with *new* style themes, where the mtz contains an archive called "lockscreen". The logic is the same as before.
*UPDATE 1*
The Perl script is attached! READ THE INCLUDED README!! If you still have questions, feel free to post here or pm me.
All I ask is that you guys help each other out- If you're able to successfully use the script, help out those who can't by converting any requested themes from this thread. And please share here any themes you are able to successfully convert! Let this serve as the official qHD converted theme thread. As always, have fun and enjoy!
The easiest way to make this work properly is to follow these steps:
1.) Download cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
2.) Run setup.exe.
3.) At the "Select packages" screen in the installer, search for "perl", click "Perl" to expand it, and then click on "Skip" for "perl: Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language" so that "Skip" changes to the version number, meaning it will be installed.
4.) Do the same for "perl-Image-Magick: image manipulation software suite (Perl bindings)", which should also be listed there under the expanded "Perl" section, so that it's version is displayed. Also ensure that the zip and unzip utilities are installed in the same way.
5.) Search for 'make' and select Devel->make (The GNU version of the 'make' utility) so that it too installs. You'll need this to install any modules in CPAN later.
5.) Click next and complete the cygwin installation.
6.) Open cygwin and, at the prompt type "cpan".
7.) At the cpan prompt, type "Install Image::Info"
8.) Once the Image::Info module is installed, you should be able to run the script without any errors.
Hey guys, I got tired of trying MIUI lockscreen themes only to find that they don't work with my Sensation (along with any other qHD phone). So I wrote a little Perl script to take care of most of the tedious stuff (resizing all of the images and calculating and replacing all of the x, y, w, h values within manifest.xml). This actually takes care of everything in some cases. For example I converted the Sense Ring lockscreen theme with this script and it was good to go in about 10 seconds of work.
But I want to make it clear that I will not be spending copious amounts of time fixing things that the script doesn't already fix. If it's something little, I'll try to fix it. Or if it's something big and I'm bored, I'll also try to fix it, but I'm making no guarantees!
I'm also looking into a way to automate the process by possibly hosting this script somewhere and allowing anyone to upload an mtz file and get the updated mtz back. If this is ever happens, it will not be foolproof, but it will be an enormous first step in any WVGA/HDPI -> qHD conversion. So bring on your requests!
*PLEASE INCLUDE A LINK TO THE THREAD OR WEBSITE WHERE THE THEME YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS LOCATED SO I DON'T HAVE TO SEARCH!!*

Fixed the last one first because it was requested by someone else too. Everything was perfect after the conversion except for the music controls. Spent a long time trying to figure out why and eventually just manually fixed it. Otherwise these are going smooth! I'll get to the rest tomorrow hopefully.
Well you made script to resize and changing values of mainfest for your phone
it will be awesome if you make script for mdpi devices as can use miui lock on it but resizing manually really time consuming

I am fully aware that it was discussed before. Just now we got full collection in high resolution. This is a find, it's not made by me.
There is an active project made by Deirdre Connolly(dconnolly) collecting all the wallpapers.
Here it is ALL 220 700 Chromecast wallpapers in high resolution:

A. If you use Firefox and DTA(DownThemAll) on Windows platform it will fail to download about 20 wallpapers because of too long file names.
Use renaming masks to make filenames short and clean.:
DownThemAll! » Renaming mask
www.downthemall.org
Two renaming mask examples:
1. Simple:
Code:
Chromecast wallpaper.*ext*
2. This one is particularly interesting for graphic files because it adds year-month-day to file name:
Code:
Chromecast wallpaper_*y*-*m*-*d*.*ext*
If "File Name Conflict!" occurs pick "Rename into" with "Remember this setting" and "Just for this session", press OK

This is great but.. I want all of them on my PC.. Could't the scraper be designed to scrape and archive a package of said wallpapers? Right clicking and save as would take ages

It's nice that you're grateful, but to reduce amount of redundant post there are thanks buttons under each post if you find helpful post just press thanks.
PS. There are new wallpapers, I can't count how many, but there is definitely more than 220.

Here is how to batch rename the wallpapers.
- Copy the zip file to your Android phone's internal memory.
- Use a file explorer to extract the zip file & put the wallpapers into a folder.
- Use free Quickpic (or any other free tool from Play store) to batch rename the wallpapers in one step.
Note: A few wallpapers are duplicated.
Enjoy
Chromecast Wallpapers
Avoid having to use DownThemAll and bulk rename utilities to rename the long file names unsupported by Windows.
I have compiled all 222 images named 'Chromecast Wallpaper 001', 002, 003 etc in a zip and uploaded on my dropbox.

Jar to get them all
From what I have seen, there are over 500 unique backgrounds. I wrote a quick and dirty java program to get them all for me. It also optionally matches the gradient and can watermark the author's names.
Shameless self promo: https://github.com/nerdwaller/Chromecast-Backgrounds
If you don't have the JDK I can put up a jar for you to run.
Also in the works (and currently active on my phone) is an android version that will be a little more feature rich if time allows).

Wow, this looks awesome. Could you attach or link an executable jar? I don't have the JDK and would prefer to not have to install it just for this one time use.
Added JAR

Added the jar to another repo: https://github.com/nerdwaller/Chromecast-Backgrounds-Binaries
Assuming that you have some type of JRE in your $PATH:
java -jar ~/Downloads/ChromecastBackground.jar -help
java -jar ChromecastBackground.jar -gradient -help
usage: Chromecast-Backgrounds
-gradient Overlay a gradient (attempts to match the Chromecast's
display of images)
-help Print this message
-outdir <arg> Output directory
-settings <arg> Load settings from a file.
-watermark Apply the author's name as a watermark

Let me know your thoughts on how it works for you, if you don't mind!

I'm willing to bet it's an issue with the java version, I am using Java 1.7.0_55. What's the output of `java -version`?
By the way, thank you for being a Guinea pig for me, I really appreciate it. The other person I had test this out didn't expose this issue yet!

Ah, yes. My Java version is 1.6.0_65. Hmm. I thought I had just updated the JRE too. Let me try logging out and back in and trying it again.

So I'm not sure why this happened, but when I just type java in the terminal, it wants to use a 1.60_65 version, but if I use "/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home/bin/java -jar ChromecastBackground.jar -help" it runs the jar just fine. I tried to run it without specifying a destination directory and it said it was saving to a directory named "/Users/taylorducote/Library/Application Support/chromecastbg/". The program ran saying that it found 100 images and that it was downloading them all and got to where it said "Finished.", but that directory doesn't seem to exist, and I can't find the images.
Any ideas?
