Help with programs coocking my first ROM - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

Hi to all! Im preparing my first rom, and i have problems
Im using the Visual Kitchen and my problem is that, y prepared the cabs i want to install like a Kvosky Package, and y edit de config_ap, when it is customizing, it says : Installing : Program.cab , but when it reboots, the programs arent installed (I have to install them manually form the folder windows) and it doesnt created me the shortcuts, from the rhodium calculator, audio booster ...
If i could install well the cabs i could make a cab with the shortcurts. any idea of what should i do?

Tried the Rhodium packages I posted in my kitchen thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526738
Place the downloaded folder in EXT\SHARED\ and select/deselect the packages you like to use from visualkitchen.
No need to add them in config_AP.txt

I have tyou packages installed, and it works fine, but, i dont know why, y add the packages form calculator, or audio bosster, and then in programs they dont appear
And ther otre problem with config_ap is adding mi cabs, for expample, no data
Sorry for my bad english

all inclusive with patch rom (wm5)

is it possible to make an already full patched(button fix,camera,bluetooth,etc) rom with all basic programs (such as mms client,stk,backlight,etc)?
i think yes but i'm not able to make it..it will be very usefull for newbies such me..
with this full rom you do not need to post lots of duplicated threads and all will works since the beginning..
yeah i would like that to,
so we only have to install it without patching and so
very good idea!!!!
but now, apart the Wiki, there is a list of all patchs that must be installed?!
'cause I don't have enough time to read alle the pages in WM5 problem resolutions thread
well,
so far, i created a project for a extended rom under wm2005.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_WM5_Extended_ROM
Butt im stuck, it will not install off the rom after a hard reset.
If this would be working we do not have to worry anymore if we forgot or lost our sd card for the neccesary patches.
i think yes
i can make a list but someone has to do that
i think tha the 'default' are:
camera fix
wm5_v3 fix
button fix
midi with album fix
missing system programs (mycpl.rar)
traylauncher
wifi programs
sim manager
and a set of default programs:
pdf reader
xscaler
pocketplus
pocketrar
etc..
I would say no, i'd rather have the choice to install what patches i want. For instance if i dont use MMS or prefer the soft keys of WM5. The way it is now you can configure the device just as you want. Getting a working extended rom you can customise would be my choice. I definitely wouldnt want Pocketplus installed by default on my device.
It has to work first.
So anybody already found a working autorun.exe and config.txt files?
I Tried alot of those two, but still not able to get it working under te extended rom after a hard reset.

Yes i dont have to use it; but if the patches are no longer released separately then i have no choice. If there is a choice of all-in-one rom and non-patched that will be ok. But you have to think of who creates the rom, it may be easier just to maintain one rom version. I guess we have to wait and see..
@pimbo have you tried the autorun from the K-Jam extended rom? May be different from the Universal files. Its here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/

Not yet, preparing my device now, autorun is 17kb from this one
setup is 104kb, looks common, exept the dates are a bit older.
Manually launching the autorun of files on the extended rom will work, so i guess that i have to do a hardreset again, thats what i going to do later the evening. lol 8)
:evil: :evil:
No luck. wil not automaticly run.
Still need to make the rom visible and run the autorun.exe for the installs.
But this is the nearest solution for now i guess.
So you still need a single cabfile on a sd card to unhide your rom and install all files on there.
If anybody knows the bytes to change in the nbk or nbf files or maybe in the bootstrap, the adaption could be completed and the patches would automaticly install after a hardreset. .
please don't OT
...so
dev can make all in one rom and single patch

right?!
i for one would love an all encompassing rom patch. reading through all the duplicate posts and other resolutions is a real hassle for noobs. we see the same questions being asked every 3 days or so and it just creates more clutter for the other noobs to sift through. i figure a lot of those fixes should be included in the next patch of the current wm5 rom anyhow if people rather wait for that to come around.

we are all noob..we are all waiting for you :lol:
if ppl want to install single patch one by one they can do that
but i think that for noobs this is such as an "official" rom
tested and approved from xda devs
please try to create folder named 2577 in your extrom and place autorun in that folder.
it should be executed automatically...

did not work, did the autorun in a folder called 2577. cab files on the root.
did a hard reset, but would still not install.
The screen of the 3sec before install wont pop up
But after i made my extended rom visible, it automaticly runs after a soft reset.(the 3sec screen pops up )
(last problem?)
But i'm going to get some sleep now, maybe that will help a bit :shock:

This would not work. WM5 on BA lacks registry settings and driver for the extended_rom folder.

Installing Cab file

if i find a cab, how exactly do I install it? i do have a registry editor, rescoe. I just got my new AT&T Fuze, and there are some issues, like hte fm radio, etc, and i see where people listed cabs for fixes, but I am a newbie and not sure how to install these.

Hi Pam, .cab or cabinet files are installed from within your device, just click on it and it will ask you where you want the files too be installed (device or storage card). You will find that there are .exe istaller files that can initiate the same process, but you have to be connected to your computer, which most of us don't like. It is an easy and clean way the install files directly in your device. I personally like to keep a lot of cab files in my storage card so that if I delete the cab or flash my device i can reinstall all my favorite applications again, no matter where I am

Lite rom question / help

I am very fussy with my toys, and like to have what i need / use and not everything else that others have loaded, this is nice, but i dont end up using the programmes, so they annoy me as take up space
If i install a lite rom, with no prgrammes but a recent version, i take it i can then load the programmes i use / want and basically build my own device?
or is it easier to downloaded a kitchen and the programmes and make my own rom? i have currently got duttys 1.7, seemed to get high reviews, and looks good, but for me it doesnt feel right, some icons are not crisp, and i wont use, so thats annoying me.
then i have folders for apps and media etc, i loaded my programmes onto the mem card and after installing the new rom the proggies were still on the mem card (didnt know if would get wiped) so i copied the shortcuts to the programmes folder, but i cant copy to the indivual folders that they belong in.
where do i get the official programmes from if i want to build my own rom? like or the important / required stuff? or is that all included and the kitchen helps with adding extras?
its far easier to install a lite rom and then start adding your own applications. which, by the way, cannot be done by simply adding the shortcuts from the microSD to the Program Files directory. you need to have the .cab file for every program you want to install.
if you want to cook your own rom, you need to read about cooking and kitchen essentials. basically, you may find in there most programs you may want to include in your rom. also, there is a description on how to add other programs of your liking to the kitchen. there used to be a kitchen guide very good detailed around here, but cant seem to find it anymore.
i only added the shortcuts as i had originally installed my applications on to the storage card, so i guess all the nessassary files were there, and i was able to add a shortcut to the programmes folder for access from the start menu.
i think i`ll go with a light rom, and install programmes i want / need.
if that doesnt work, then i can try making one myself.
i am worried i will forget to install something important, will a lite rom include everything needed for the phone to work as it should? (all the touch functions, and camera, album, texts, signal, be able to play media files when install programmes for it etc)?

Significantly increases the performance of your X2

Are you having problem with your CAB files or you need more speed and stability, then use Extendir to prepare your cab files.
Extendir is a file system filter driver that significantly increases the performance of your phone, in specific situations even up to 12 times as fast and faster…
With the help of Extendir 98% of my old and new files now work perfectly on my X2 without any heavy battery usage.

Answer to your question, check my attached file.
The software is really simple to use, download the file, unzip it and run Extendir Cabs.
and whats with extendir.dll which is actually doin the changes not the
extendir cabs which only makes cab files

Yes that is what I'm asking you to do just re-cab your Cab files with Extendir Cabs, Install your files as usual and just relax and see how your phone will perform. But if you want to go all the way, you can read the post about Extendir all cache and Preset Installer
And you still have questions just post in the thread and ShaDrac can personally help you.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530710

not doubting i just did hard reset two weeks ago and my x2 aint that bad atm i just dont want to screw it so id have to reinstall all the trash i need
Okay, so if i use Extendir on my Manila cabs, it should make sense work faster on the x2?
OK ... I used the Extender ... and here is what I did (and is it simple):
1. moved all of the cabs that I wanted to "extend" into a directory -- on my PC
2. ran "extendir cabs" and pointed it to the directory mentioned in #1
3. It generated a single cab with all of the cabs that I had moved into a single cab called the "directory name.cab" that was in #1
4. I copied the cab to my phone and installed it ...
That was it ... and it seems to work ... but I don't have any results that I can report ... only did it to day, and it is too early to say what it is doing -- but it seems to have better battery response ... note that one of the cabs that I "extended" was SPB 8 Mobile Shell. After the install, all of the programs worked and the install did not take very long ... shorter then installing the programs the first time ...
Now the questions ...
1. When the extender cab installs, it asks where to install the extender cab ... and I selected the storage card -- which I found strange since SPB 8 is normally installed in the device and not on the card ... It seems to work -- but should that have been installed on the device?
2. there only seems to be a single choice for the location of the install -- when I did it the first time, I installed in on the device, and it took up memory in the device when I hade "extended" cabs that were both formally in the device and on the storage card. I then addnd more programs into the directory for the cabs, and rans extendir cabs again and it created another file (called the directory name -- note that this cab is located in the same directory that the extendir cabs.exe file is located). When I copied it to my phone and installed it, it said that I had to uninstall the previous version of the extended cab -- which I did. (Note that I also tried to rename the cab to another name before installing it, and it still asked about uninstalling the previous version.) I am not sure if it is possible to use it for device located cabs and storage located cabs -- is that possible?
Well that is my experience with extender and how it is used ...

Yes It will help, please let us know your outcome. Maybe some people that don't use Manila because of battery and Memory issues, can try Manila too.

A thousand thanks for trying this tool, this tool is basically for Rom developer to use and cook applications into their Rom, back then people discovered using it to re-cabs our Cab files make them faster and less battery consuming.
Answer to your Questions : You just have to group your Cab files into two groups. First group for cabs that will be install into Phone memory, Second group for cabs in memory card.
Or you can re-cab your files separately.
Tips for better battery and more speed : You may know this, but for those that don't know.
* Install applications that runs regularly, runs in background or programs you use frequently into phone memory.
eg : Manila
* Install applications that don't runs in background, you don't use regularly or very large applications in Memory card.
eg : games
Hmm.. im not sure if im doing it wrong but what i did was use the program on the manila cabs and the other stuff, but when i restarted my x2 manila didn't bother to start up unless i install the non-extendir cab im not sure what im doing.
Here is what I noticed over the last few days ...
There is a significant speed increase in browsing (I use Iris -- gave up on the IE since I was getting warnings about using IE6 based browser and Microsoft does not appear -- at least i could not find one -- to have an upgrade) speed and also Bing is faster ...
SPB 8 is also faster ...
There might be an increase in battery life, but I am still evaluating that part of it ...
I will have to give this a try. Thanks for the heads up
will the droid pro+3.0 really work in xperia x2? haha..=)
i m newbie...
