Hey everyone,
I am having a hard time finding information on compiling a bunch of icons in ico format into one dll file to use as an icon library in my rom. I pretty much want to configure one like the shell32.dll file in a windows directory. Anybody have a program or anything to do this? Could I just copy the shellres32.dll file and replace the images I dont want with new ones and re-save with reshack and sign with a ms signer? Thanks.
Mods...Should this be in ROM Development as this is in regards to my ROM? If so could you please move it, thanks.
What Icons are you trying to change????
Microangelo Toolset will do it...it's what I've used for my Tilt.
It's not the most straightforward program, but it works well for compiling icons into a .dll.
edit: post here if you have trouble using the program...
Changing just about all of them.
Thanks, will let you know if I run into any problems.

Hey,
I was wondering if someone could please upload or email me a copy of the files needed for Autoconfig.CAB (MMS & GPRS settings).
Ive had a look through the fourms and can't find which ROM it came with?
Thanks!
David
39 views and no one knows which ROM package the Autorun cab came with?
I think it was a Helmi release, but I cant find it anywhere...
not sure if i understood your question, but helmi's roms have all the network settings cab files in the extrom, the "operator" folder is 4.15MB in size.
sorry, i don't have the speed to upload the files.
Hmm...I think that's something a little different...might have a look though.
The one I'm talking about came in the EXTROM folder. It was Autorun.cab and also had a config.txt file with it.
Thanks...
I have an autoconfig,cab in Helmi's 3.2 v 1.3 release not sure if it sets GPRS and MMS settings though.
EDIT: Never mind, I have managed to find it on my hard drive stored away!
Thanks!
I did some searching, but couldnt find anything too specific, if a thread exists, please poine me in the right direction. I'm just looking for a way to extract a m2d skin from a certain rom and install it to a phone using a diff rom. I know its probably super easy, i found the xml for the skin with file explorer. But that cant all be it can it?
Really want a black theme on my hyperdragon flash!

You want to use M2DC to make a backup of the theme then you can just copy it from M2DC location on phone.
Thanks! ill give it a spin!
I decided to start this Thread because every "new cook" here is trying to cook a good wm6.5 rom. But there are still Bugs and Mistakes.
I solved some Problems and i still got ones.
maybe we can all share Solutions we found so we can cook a Rom with as less bugs as possible
My Question here:
In the new 21501 build there is the runcc package. I didnt want it so i deleted all the related files and initflashfiles-entries and coked in the checkautorun, autorun and sdautorun (for UC).
In the initflashfile i created the shortcut of checkautorun for the startup folder. But after flash i got : "Theres no Application associated with checkautorun" (or sth. like that) i recognized that my autorun file was deleted due to it was cooked in windows directory.
So my Question: How can i get the normal Autorun thing work?
/edit. because none reacted i tried myself in imitating god. i took a ridge from adam and created eva out of it. i.e. i took some files from the older build and put them in the newer one.... exactly all the OEMdriver files and some OperatorPKG files... will see it it helps
/edit don't help.
i wonder... has noone of you the same errors? Has noone of you the solution for my problem...
Runcc is needed by quite a lot of HTCs apps, as a background process.
it's also how they are starting to do the initial customizations..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3613983#post3613983 have a read for some interesting stuff, there's also other threads on runcc to search for..
It's also one of the reasons why roms are getting quicker..
I'd leave it in..
argh no that i started to learn how things work (the autorun thing) there will be a new standard in customization
that sucks xD
But i thought runcc dont run bugless on our xperia.
I prefer a little slower rom without bugs =)

Runcc is also in the X1 roms...
as I said some software needs it to be able to run, it appears to be a file parser.
WM6.5 bugs ???
Good idea for a new thread
I've been struggling the whole year with it
But now it is working fine, hard to domesticate *****, but finally ported to the xperia: all working fine
PS: may I suggest you to stick to the previous 2500 build, no big difference in SYS-XIP filez
hm... would be an idea
.....
a good one ^^
yeah I think you're right

What a pitty. Looks like no one is interested in sharing Solutions and asking for them.
Seems like all the newbie cooks stopped cooking (haha expected that).
I'm still cooking my little roms I deleted the cc thingy too and had the same error at startup. I just ignored it. Would also like to know how to start the autoinstall at startup, still learning.
Did you manage to assign the right softkey when you're on the clock to htc comm.manager? I got the standard winmo comm.manager right now.
I looked up the regkeys and there's only the left softkey assigned...
This thread would be really nice if all the new cooks would chip in on the problems
I dont work with Runcc anymore ^^ Changed back to 21500 because of that.
As I dont include the HTC Comm Manager in my ROMs that wasnt a bug for me. But i managed to get the Bubble with the Comm Manager Link working like i want --> it refers to winmo comm manager (wrlsmgr.exe)
This Button isnt assigned in registry because its changeable (with new titanium tab there comes a new link)
I think we have to look for the solution in titanium itself.
I've searched through the titanium 800x480.cpr but there was nothin about this
Ha I've got the Fix for ya
See Attachment.
You have to load the provxml at User Costumization at first Start or you can include it in the OEM Folder (dont know if possible..)
Key was at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome
thanks kid_DC for opening up this thread. I do hope the chef masters could visit this thread and answer some of our questions.
I do have a question:
How do I put the Sony Ericsson original animated splash screen into jerpelea's kitchen?
@kid_dc
Thanks, I found it last night too....took me a while...
I just checked out the new, updated Chome editor and it seems that you can change the softkeys with the app now.
Here is the link but I didnt try it yet since I'm at work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379
You should also check out the new fave people panel. Pretty awesome stuff.
Personally I use wm 6.5 as my main os now and it just rocks. Just love the new and lite home/titanium. Great job from microsofts side.
There's also the known weather panel and an opera panel.
Also looking forward to see new panels coming.
And about the autoinstall stuff...
mobilevu posted a nice instruction in his rom thread in the 2nd post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505214
Yeah in my Full Rom (Medium id coming today ) I'll add all the Add-On's to Titanium so its get a very powerfull GUI
Oh so you dont need my fix anoymore ^^ sad to hear that but if you want to change it without any third party apps this is the place to look up
hehe, actually I fixed the softkey last night excatly the same way you wrote!
So I sensed your answer
Looking forward to your rom. Really curious

BETTER (and easy) SOLUTION FOR COMM MANAGER NOT BEING LAUNCHED FROM THE TASKBAR ICONS:
Drop this tweaked commmanagerlink.exe file into the OEM/OEMDrivers folder
That's all
How I did it ??
I noticed all REGs and DLLs were pointing to "commmanagerlink.exe" instead of "wrlsmgr.exe"
I rebuilded the wrlsmgr.exe file and renamed it to commmanagerlink.exe
WORK A TREAT

1- Copy SEMC*.gif (from R2A) into OEM/OperatorPkg or OEM/OEMDrivers
Write a provxml file to associate it with the starupanimation engine
2- Add the StatupAnimatonEngine PACKAGE to your OEM folder
Piece of cake
PS: If you dunno how to mke a xmp or provxml, get "fileoperations.xml" from R2A base ROM, edit it with NotePad, delete all the other shizzz (but preserving the xml structure !!) and drop it into OEM/OperatorPkg, then invoke your custom "fileoperations.xml" from config.txt (XML: /Windows/"fileoperations.xml")

hm... in my opinion my solution is cleaner and dont produce unneeded files but everyone can decide on their own ^^

Which version of wm6.5 do you use ?
Sorry for the n00b question, but is it possible to use this kitchen to re-build a ROM from extracted .raw files?

yes
you can use it
Further noob question: How do I create a useable .exe file from a directory in this kitchen (e.g. sqmevent.exe). Is there a compiler of some sort included in the kitchen?
My ROM has lost this file and I am getting annoying errors, so I want to regenerate and replace it...
Cheers,
Jim.
nice to see you here Jerpelea!
witch version XIP for 6.5 are you using?
stock 21839

Aha. But how do you do that? I've been looking at this thread but I don't get it. There is no guide on the wiki and I cannot figure out what to de when I see the stuff inside the RAR. Care to help? Thanks

I rebuilt a Kaiser ROM in the past (which took me ages), and spent a while trying to do this for my Rhodium ROM with no luck.
I was attempting to reconstruct a Vodafone ROM, which can now be downloaded from Vodafone, so I don't have much need to continue with it.
However I can see that a simple step by step tutorial would be very useful, and possibly a 'rebuilding' kitchen set up specifically for this task, ideally with a folder to put in the part.raws + base ROM, and then a script that did the rest would be marvellous!
Sadly I'm not clever enough to do this, but if you're reading this and it'd be easy for you to do, please share it
I was too deconstucting the vodafone rom that i downloaded, its quite lightweight compared to some other OEM roms but theres still room to strip some stuff out of it, i did try and use the packages i.e. OEM SYS and ROM with the Visual Kitchen along side the EXT folder from my extracted voda rom but that didnt work, all i want to do is get rid of packages haha,
That said i think i managed to get rid of goodle maps, deleted the folder in EXP for the package and used visual kitchen, searched all modules for google and removed any entries for google maps, it doesnt show up anymore, whether or not this means its is not installed im not sure but i cut 2MB off the rom size by getting rid of it...
Little by little (=
How cook with this rom????
i have copy SYS ROM and OEM on root of kitchen
and after that running 2_Create_ROM.bat
when finish open the htctool but the new os.nb have already deleted from the kitchen :S
any idea?
I dont use this kitchen as im not proficient with the whole scrypting/cooking thing yet
Id say if your learning then go for the Visual Kitchen, thats what i use as im just trying to understand how the file system etc works

does anyone know a way to build a cab file that would replace the "moon" picture in htc sense 2.5 to a picture of another planet. I know its a weird request, but it goes with the theme of my phone and I would love to make it happen. if it can't be done with a cab, is there another easier way to get it done?
I am using this the latest energy leo rom, if that helps.
and I can provide the pic of the planet if needed, I just didnt post it because I didnt know what format or res it would need to be in.
Thanks in advance.
You have to use mode9editor or Manila kitchen. Find that moon picture for corresponding manila number, take your picture and convert it to qtc format. Picture must be in png format before converting. Then make a cab or copy it to windows folder of your phone and soft reset device.
since I'm sort of a noob, could you perhaps point me to a tutorial for either, or maybe someplace with a little more specific instruction.
Thanks
Here is mode9 editor, manila kitchen and Explanation Of The Various Manila Files with tutorial.
thank you sir
