Hi guys,
i am sorry if this is not the right place to post my question, but could someone explain if it is possible to extract the Rhodium dialer from the relevant ROM and covert it to a cab for installation on a stock ROM?
I appreciate any answers as i am new to this but would be interested in starting to play with ROMs.
Many thanks in advance.
just copy the needed files from the oem folder and use wince cab manager to build your cab,
if you know how to cook that is.
Nope, actually i have no idea...yet! But i am eager to start learning a bit more about cooking so if you have any good posts or articles please let me know.
Did someone try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521815 ?
Yeah, I tried it but it doesn't work. It keeps saying that the install is unsuccessful, even though I have sdkcerts installed. Not sure why it doesn't install.
I am usign this compatibility pack in my latest pure ROMs
(my ROMs are "pure" xperia, no based on blackstone or rhodium OEMs as others)
I have included this compatibiity pack in my latest ROM and I was able to successfuly run many Manila / TF3D2 apps in the SEX1 ROM
Well, I made a CAB out of my OEM package, please download it and install it, then try adding the rhodium dialer or other manila apps, and please report
If it works, it would be a great achievement for non-ROM flashing users of our community
.
EDIT
24 JUN 09
first test worked for some
second version up, hope this one works for ALL stock Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROMs
NOTICE THIS IS BASED ON WWE, but should be tested over other languages too
Here are some RHODIUM/TOPAZ/BLACKSTONE APPS I have CABbed should you want to test them too (mp3 trimmer, comm manager, vol control, voice rec, youtube... etc)

Soooo hot damn news! Gtrab, U're simply the best. I'm trying install Rhodium dialer now.
It works. Thax U so much Gtrab. Now i have Sex1 with Rhodium dialer
Gtrab, thanks so much.
Does the rhodium dialer work okay? I had Yota dialer but it slowed things down and had a few other limitations.
Hmmm, strange; I installed the compatibility pack then rhodium dialer, but still same error message (installation unsucessful). Anyone else have success?

I'm using stock NAM R2A. Looks like gtrab has kindly uploaded another version, so I'm going to give it a shot.

Pack 1 doesn't allow to install Rhodium conm. But pack 2 does. Its work perfectly. Even I can install TF3D like WC Rhodium packet, and easily switch back to Today (like in wm6.1). Gtrab, much appreciate.
Still not working on mine (X1a NAM R2A). Maybe it has something to do with previous install of Yota contacts? Anyway, thanks gtrab for your contribution.
gtrab: I WAS able to install HTC voice recorder, so this seems to be specific to the rhodium dialer, at least on my phone.
Created topic for other Rhodium CABed apps.

Do u know if the "vibrate when call started" feature is working? Or the "fade out to black screen" during the conversation ( to not touch the screen involuntary)?
Thanks!
I am using HTC Touch Diamond2 Topaz and I am very new to Windows Mobile world. I am just confused with what is manila/sense? Why it's required and how to download it for HTC Toudg Diamond2 model?
Sorry..if it's very basic question..?
My ROM version: 2.17.707.1 (68613) WWE.
I have updated to WM 6.5.
In Device information, i don't find the Manila version. Whether I need to download it and install.
Touchflo 3D, the user interface, is also known as Manila.
Sense is described as 'a user experience' based on Touchflo 3D. It's the 'extra' bits, that personalise the phone if you like. It's supposed to make the UI seamless and intuitive.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for your quick reply.
I don't find the manila version in my HTC Toudh Diamond2 and only ROM version. How to install manila and what is the latest version is suitable for HTC diamond 2 WM 6.5 model?
To clarify, TF3D is now known as 'Sense' in the newer versions. You have Sense 2.1. There are Sense 2.5 versions out there but to use them you would need to update your ROM to a custom one that has it built in.
Hope this is clearer.
Thanks DirkGently1.
And one more query on this.
So by default/WM 6.5 has Sense 2.1. If I want to upgrade it to Sense 2.5, i need to update the ROM, so that the softwares installed so far will be deleted. Am I right? or Sense 2.5 will be in CAB and install it and do a soft reset will do?
How/where can I see the sense version in my HTC Touch Dimaond2?
Where can get the SENSE 2.5 version? for htc offical website.. any help..on this

You won't see the Sense version, but the manila version will tell you if its sense 2.1 or 2.5. If you read up on both, you will see the differences and know which you are on.
There may be a cab installation of a newer manila w/Sense 2.5, however it is recommended to be cooked into the ROM, therefore flashing a custom ROM is your best option.
Make sure you thoroughly read the flashing guide and understand everything.
Ask in that thread if you have any questions about it. Its all quite simple, just make sure you HARDSPL first, or you have an expensive paperweight.
Enjoy, and I guarentee that you'll be happier than what you get out off the box with these devices.
Thanks for your help bruce.

Yes, sense 2.5 has been ported over from the HTC Leo. HTC has not released sense 2.5 on the TD2 AFAIK. Therefore your official stock ROMs are all 2.1.
First read the very first thread under Topaz General- "flashing giuide- start here" thanks to Drag-on.
This will tell you about HOW to flash and all of the necessary steps.
To find a cooked ROM, go to the ROM developement section. Most threads there are ROM threads by various chefs. Even though it may be hundreds of pages in length, it is very impotant to read the first 5 posts which are usually bug reports and fixes, etc. the read at least the last 5 paged of posts to see what the current bugs are.
I am quite pleased with the ROM listed in my signature (which is a clickable link), that is a WM6.5 w/ Sense 2.1.
Hope this helps. Happy flashing.
here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585457
hope that helps (in there, there is another link which will take you to your first flashing steps)
I have a question... if you don´t know what is manila, Why do you want to upgrade?

I am using the Windows Mobile for the first time and using it for about 1 month. I am jsut learning on how to improvise my phone look and feel and performance..any new application to try it out.
By going thru' the beginners guide, I got some idea but still want to confirm it what I thinking is right/wrong? Anyway, some of the users from this thread are helping me by answering queries. Gradually, I will know all the technical terminology and will rock with the cooked rom.
Hi all, Does anyone know of a kitchen for the tp that has Manila 2.5 included in it (or is anyone kind enough to share theirs?). I know chefs don't like sharing their kitchens cos then others take credit for the ROMs but this is ONLY for my personal ROMs for my tp - i won't be uploading any as i think there are many talented chefs already for our device.
I have download the 23518 kitchen from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580429
and then downloaded the Manila 2.5 files from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4956649#2
And added them to the kitchen following the instructions exactly. The ROM boots (strangely there is no settings icon in the start menu????) but Titanium is loaded by default. I try enabling Manila and it just gets stuck on 'tap here to launch HTC sense' then when i tap it says 'launching HTC sense' then back to 'tap here etc etc'?
Basically i want to build a ROM for myself like EnergyROMs (which is what i use normally) but would like to remove some stuff i don't use.
Thanks in advance
can't answer your exact question here..but you are in the wrong forum mate - ask away in the TP2 forums

Check your PM...
JackWater's kitchen includes Manila 2.5, but doesn't yet have SYS 23518. I think he's planning to upload it soon.
Thanks..

Hi to all chefs! I've decided to cook my own ROM for personal use and I'm trying to cook in the USB2PC popup. I've tried a few packages posted on this forum but still no luck. No popup when I plug in my USB cable. Tried to search the forums but can't find any info either. Can anyone help? I'm using gtrab's Pure WM6.5 ROM as a base. No manila. Thanks.

Hi, apologies for the questions as I am very new at this. I tried a cab of that same version you included into your ROM before, 2.0.18172128, but it didn't work. Do I also need the USBtoPC v1.20 (OEM #4) in your kitchen?
Thanks.

Did you cook in Bootlauncher package? HTC USBtoPCPOPUP requires bootlauncher to run.
In other way if you won;t include the bootlauncher package, you can modify the usbtopcpopup registry to run as WM service:
from:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\HTCUSBToPCPopUp]
to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTCUSBToPCPopUp]
The rest values are same.
Thanks for the advice. It's my first time cooking so I'm still trying to get a grip on all these concepts. Doesn't help that I'm not a software engineer/programmer by trade! And it really doesn't help that the wiki is down!
I did another search of the forums and found the info I need, but I don't know how to cook in usbtopc.exe to replace the one in ROM
Mod. edit: though it's dev related, it's till closer to q&a, therefore move it to general
also consider chef central for this kind of information (link in stickies)
Hey folks,
I just cooked my first own rom with visual kitchen.
I used the German HTC Stock rom and delete some unneeded content and added NETCF 3.5 and totalcommander.
I now want to add the HTC update files, that I downloaded from the HTC Homepage. They are all exe and work on the phone.
I'd like them to be automaticially installed when the rom is installed.
How is that possible?
Thank you.
I'm slightly out of my comfort zone with such matters, but as there aren't any other replies yet, it might be worth looking into XDA UC (XDA_UC ?). My understanding is it automates installation post ROM flashing.
Sorry if this is a red herring, but hopefully worth looking into.
thx for your help. I wonder why nobody replied. I still haven't found the solution but I will try it with UC.
thx again.
