MS My Phone causing problems
This might be slightly off topic, but I didn't want to create a new thread for it and it is pertaining to rom development. I've had serious problems recently with multiple roms. I've installed about 4 roms in 3 days and with many i've lost my entire text message database from a soft reset. I've also reset the phone to find my email accoutns have been erased and my text messages were not sending.
I'm narrowed this down to using the MS My Phone service to restore information. This time round I used an old backup using PIM manager from my storage card and things seem to be back to normal (I hope).
Just curious, has anyone experience problems using MS My Phone? I like using it, but it now seems like a virus that if I use it, can corrupt my phone and cause me to have to reflash.
Opinions appreciated,

mmh oookay but i think you will run into trouble cooking paid software into a rom. in the end you can call it warez and warez here is prohibited

Thanks for the reply.
I have been yes. Currently running Xannys 2.5 without Htc messaging as I can't stand the sluggish speed of HTC messaging.
I know my last big problem occurred without the sms restore (just contacts and tasks) and to be honest, I'm a little scared to try and restore anything from My Phone incase it effects my phone adversely again. I've been constantly fixing and using a phone which was unreliable because of this for about a week now, so I kind of want to get back to some stability before I experiment again.
I'll keep everyone posted on my findings.

okay, but i try it one time without paid software,

I wouldn't recommend that you cook in a paid software, it is prohibited.

ok, thank but even if i want it, i CANT ''when i click the reset button after flashing, and the phone starts its still waiting on the screen ´´smart mobility´´ and then nothing happens no Boot. Why???''

hope for answer

Could be anything really... a missing package, wrong settings in the registry. Pretty much impossible to say. Which kitchen are you using? Can you provide a build log (the bunch of messages the kitchen spurts out when building the ROM)?

thanks

thanks for the answer,
I'm using the Ervius Kitchen This is the Kitchen Link
I dont know how i provide a build log, I'm new at this all.
But no Packages is missing or wrong setting, if you using a better Kitchen please share it with us.

Just copy all the messages it throws out during ROM creation, put it in a txt file and attach it to a post. Without that, it's really hard to give you any tips...

Getting 'bare bones' OS by stopping 'Customising in 3 Seconds'

I remember on my old Blue Angel when I wanted to have a 'bare bones' system, the trick was to hard reset the device and then when installing the OS I would remove the battery when it said 'Customizing will begin in 3 seconds' then when I powered up the device I would have a 'bare bones' OS with none of the operators progs installed.
However when I try and do that with my Xperia it 'knows' that the setup isnt complete and starts the install process from the begining.
Is there any way to sttop this customizing process from happening on the Xperia?

You could try one of the "light"roms around here.
Greets !
I am running Jacks 2.1 Lite. Is there anybody that knows what I'm on about?
I've tried to look in the Blue Angel forums to confirm what I've said and have found this thread in the very last post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=230956&highlight=seconds
You can always use the Kovsky kitchen and break apart the rom and just delete pretty much everytyhing from the config files. Except the last line. I think that would be the easiest and safest way to do it. Although Jack's roms are pretty lite. He doesn't install many apps in his lite rom.
I thought I'd answered this already..
OH yes I already had. Why the duplicate postings?

X1 Chef's Develop & Share Center

Not a big deal this thread, its not a protest agains any "recent happenings"
I just wish to start a (mainly) X1 development place where we (developers and chefs for x1) can help eachother out.
Im am soon to share all my kitchen packages, inlcuding my kitchen (some trix im keeping, but not packages or files) and I hope thats a direction we all can go.. but I will respect those who dont agree, and I I hope those who decide to work with me on this, wont judge those who dont want to either.
Also I would like that when we get stuff from this thread, we give credits to those who contributed to solve the problems.
I will ofcourse kick in help on other ppls projects if I am able...
I WILL DELETE NON TOPIC POSTS. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING OF VALUE TO SAY, PLEASE DONT POST HERE.
cheers
My contribution for now:
Packages from Rhodium
All is setup for Bepes Platformrebuilder, so if you use another kitchen, then theese wont work, you will have to convert to standard oem packages.
I have to much work on my hands to convert them, so I hope those who do convert to standard packages, will upload them here.

i got a few things workin on the dialer, will check back l8er with progress and files if thers any..
my roms aint protected so feel free to use all files..
have a blast at the party.
I want to share my Manila OEM package. This package is about 1000 files smaller than the common version and has a patched ManilaToday.dll (thx fireball2k) which almost solves the right softkey bug. It makes your rom cleaner and you have some mb more space. It´s working only on WWE rom versions.

hi all,
I recently bought myself an X1, and want to start cooking
i develope hardware and sofware for a living.
To become a chef, I first need to know some basics. is there any good wiki where de structure is explained?
Maybe someone can help me to get the HTC Fingermenu to run. This my current package status, it doesn´t work for me.
http://rapidshare.com/files/207108444/Fingermenu.rar.html
@smaberg
I´ve managed to get the dialer working except some links and the conferrence call
I can unfortunatly not share the dialer package at the moment, I promised that I would not share it just yet, if not.. I would not have gotten it...
But, its not the dialer I recieved wich "worked out of the box" because mine package works with rc2 also. So there are more to it then just release the packages, I need to figure out what makes this stuff "tick" before I release the packages I made myself.
I am gonna share the stuff I got, but I cant share what I got from my source...I hope you guys understand this...
Ofcourse I can share my old packages, but they dont work the correct way yet...
I know that many thinks that why cant I just release them and say its my fixed ones?..but that would not be fair to my friends who shared their work with me
If I was to release them now, it would be nice for all im sure, but then I would cut of a tie to a friend, and I would also loose a good developer that can help out if I need assistance in future projects...
I feel a bit sad that I cant upload it just yet, but I will do what I can to give you guys good packages to work with.
thx for understanding

dont look in the dialer package, you need more packages from topaz that is not rebuild with regsettings from blackstone...you need the correct settings, and some dll's, but, read my previous post on this
cheers
Thx,
I can fully understand your arguments. But I´m more interested in getting the Fingermenu working. May you help me there? I´ve attached the oem package for that in the previous post I guess there is a package, file or whatever to get this working are you allowed to release the secret just for the fingermenu? Any little advise

I will look into it, there are some basic files that is needed by most of the new stuff, so I will check it and have a look
edit, you are missing most of the files...or you might have them in other packages..and regsettings are under 50% of what is needed..for now I can say wich files, but you need to look for the regsettings yourself (sorry cant do better right now)
CALIBRI.TTF
EmailMenuEnhancement.dll
htcDutils.dll
HTCUtil.dll
ResProxy.dll
FileUpload.dll
HTCScroll.dll
ResLoader.dll
I had those myself in my package, but I didnt have all the correct regsettings...
Hope it helps
here is full ORIGINAL Rhodium keyboard (not from the infamous duttydump)
its not modded in any way..

Ok thanks, and as you know im working on the 6.5 release right now, and i got the dialer to work on boot, but when resetting or restart it wont work anymore, and as you said ill guess half the regsettings are missing as the menu thingi wont work proper either. its a damn shame...
by the way, my 6.5 package will be released puplic as i wont protect it. it mush faster with new touchflo than the old 6.1 -go figure, damn micrsh...
but ill respect you and your source (i wont meantion his name here)
but how long do you think before release? i really need it for my 6.5 release... if i cant get it to work myself, i think i got all the files needed, maybe a few missing.
Phonecanvas here

Hi,
have a look at page 1, I postet the OEM package for this

Touch-IT v5.04 + MyFaves bug discussion

First of all, is anyone running T-Mobile USA, Touch-IT v5.04, and the MyFaves .cab having problems?
For reasons above my understanding, my phone will not connect to the MyFaves system. It just says "updating MyFaves" indefinitely. My online management says that it is waiting for my phone to respond, so something isn't connecting between the phone and the MyFaves on the T-Mobile network.
I couldn't find a solution in the 100+ pages of the Touch-IT v5.xx thread, so I'm hoping that someone with an answer can help here.
My bugs:
1. MyFaves MUST be set to "Display: off" or else it will not display properly (must go into the registry to force it up)
2. Changing the display mode will force the home tab and people tab off TF3D
3. Will not get past "Updating MyFaves". Obviously not properly connecting to the MyFaves system.
My install method:
1. Flashed Touch-IT v5.04
2. Installed the provided MyFaves .cab to device (as opposed to storage card)
3. Corrected the registry entry to force the MyFaves display up (as instructed in the Touch-IT v5.xx thread)
Maybe akp99 can help you
He made the cab.
You must understand that this is from a beta version of a USA T-Mobile Rom.
So we don't no if it works.
Maybe you can do some testing together with akp99
I've encountered the same behavior and only to be told, "it's been discussed"... A solution within the discussion would be perfect. Yes, I understand it beta and whatnot, but we CAN have our cake and eat it too. ;D
Well as this is designed to work on T-mob contracts then it's a bit tricky to work out what's happening when you're not on a t-mob system.
This is why I haven't bothered trying to get it to work, as there's no way I can test it, but I presume there must be some way that T-mob is checking your device to see whether you are entitled to use it. I guess the key will be to work out how they are checking that?
Looking at Akps cab I'd say he might have left out voxsync.exe as it's called by the NAB..
I'll cab up the entire NAB and see if that helps? Be aware looking at the Reg files this may well stuff up your SMS all over again as there's a hook like the jblend one.....
Okay here it is, I don't know exactly where the files go as the only reference I can find is to two files in /windows/voxmobili/voxsyncsync so that's where I've dumped them.
If this doesn't work, then try copying all the files to /windows from that folder as well.
This isnt itjes rom
I have tried to remidy this for along time and got barely any support.
the only solution to make my faves work for me was to cook my own rom.
using the same builds as itje except for any r3 oem packages my roms worked perfect with my faves. It actually updates your faves while its going through the first initial rom boot install.
heres my pic.
I was planning on releasing the rom but didnt know if there were any fellow my faves users. as all my posts in the rom thread were lost and ignored. i was helped by the cab creator but no real help from itje.
I made a touchpro2 port to 6.5 as in the picture, i have a 6.1 build but its missing some packages as i was figuring out the myfaves.

there will be copies in windows as that's where the packages go, but as I say I can't see where else.

everything is in windows. except for the custom icons found from tmo those are my documents/my icons and i dont have nab cooked in or even installed.
So it looks like myfaves works better when cooked instead of installed via .cab?
I don't know, in theory it should be able to be added after 1st boot. so a cab should work
theres something either missing or not configured right.
shadowmike, it seems very odd that the nab isn't there in the cooked rom, as its called directly from the reg for myfaves
ill look later on at the packages in jerpeleas kitchen.
Had a look at the kitchen you used and the Nab files are there, are you sure you didn't cook them in?
there's a provxml that contains some certificates that are missing, you can try this through advanced config (but it may not work as it's a big file, but unzip it and give it a try).
I'm trying to make a cab from it (that's a first for me, a provxml into a winmo cab using linux!) but not got it right yet, so the other method might be better..
Absolutely no reason why it shouldn't - while it's not 100% there are plenty of other instances of standalaone MyFaves cabs working. Will also take a look later...

For X1...

I just want a ROM that is:
1. Unintsallable
2. Fast, stable and glitch-free.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
6. Landscape mode preferred.
As you may have guessed, im a noob. But I just wanted to know as there is like a sea of ROMs and it becomes very difficult for a person not very knowledgable like me to pick one. I just want 2 things most importantly, that it shud be panel-installable and shud support landscape mode, along wiht being stable.
Thanx a ton guys!!
I don't understand your 1st and 3rd point. All roms can be replaced.
I personally dislike having Touchflo as is a bit unstable for me. If you want 6.5 I've used this for weeks, the barebones version, link and its been pretty stable on me.
Read other threads asking about rom choices too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590874
sweet..by
1. i meant it can be uninstalled if it gives some problem...(i raed sumwhere its a pain to remove it from ur system)
and
3. by that i meant, that it is only installed in a panel, not in the whole sys..as in i dont want the OS to change, i want X1 OS but only one panel can be HTC's touch flo

Use a stock ROM or cook your own.

Get an HTC phone then.

Read what I typed above in red.
tahnx Im Packing...
though i get your humour(and frustration with the number of noob questions being asked everyday)
but plz understand, I am an original noob. I dont understand wht u mean by "cook your ROM"
also, the very fact i have posted this Question, is that there are so many ROMs.
Like see, there are many ways to run a Mac on ure PC (iAtkos, Kalyway etc) but I used Kalyway..so here i cant find my Kalyway...
is ITJE's ROM good??heard about it...
plz suggest specific ROM so that i dont have to do a lot of RND with my (brand new) phone...thanx a lot once again.
Here is my suggestion for you. Just try a rom for one week and see which one fit you the best. It's very easy ans SAFE to install new rom and every rom has it plus and minus. I personally install different rom every other date because i want to have the newest stuff for my phone.
I think you misunderstand what ROMs are. I think you should read the Wiki first. Then read the stickies. Then if you have questions try searching first, and then you should fire away with questions.
The questions you are posing now are not ROM related they are software related. If you really want to flash a ROM then you should first read what a ROM (Read-Only Memory) is and why you would want to flash one and what HARD-SPL is and how to prevent bricking. If you are not ready for a custom ROM then perhaps you should just stick to some of the many cabs that are available here.
Hopefully this will give you a starting place. Just opening a thread to ask nonsensical things is not going to be productive for you, and will only confuse or irritate more experienced members. If you have a basic understanding everything should fall into place after that. Good luck.
Thanx Hannigan174..i appreciate ure help and apologize for posting this Question. u are right, i actually dont understand what ROMs are in trems of X1....
But i wil take ur suggestion...i wil first try out diff ROMs and then post a query...
I understand what you want: a theme or a application not flash your phone with another ROM, is it?
Try check this out... and this ... also try this
Also you may check this one and this
Good luck

did you ever flashed youre phone? there are alot of roms just like the one in the video. just pick a random manila 2.1 rom and ure done. i dont know why u want tf3d be uninstallable. u can just deactivate it. what means "should only require soft reset"? u dont want to flash ure phone but install tf3d via cabs instead? well then search for the thread, it is possible but aint that good and fast as a complete optimized rom

what you see is the Manila user-interface, can be any ROM currently had it cooked unless stated differently. And it can be of 2.1 or 2.5 (Leo), and installable under pure or clean rom.
Just read the stickies first under the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM development thread. First step, you're going to need to flash HardSPL, then flash any ROM you like with the Manila interface.
This/URL] is one of the example, always read last pages to see the current issues on the latest build, then pick your choice

I dont really get it... what did you mean by unlocking ? and what 9 movies?
my micro SD card has 9 movies...MIB, da cinchi code..etc... can unlock it..i have a Sony Pictures app also..it lets me see the trailer of each film and then i can unlock the whole film..and watch it
the more i read, the more im gettin confused...there is this software on one hand cutsomRUU...
then there is a cab availbale, then there is also the hardUSPL or something...
this is just getting more complicated, im eading the sticky threads but to no avail....can any1 plz help me how to get whats in the video..step by step with links...plz, its a humble request...
everything is explained in this sticky thread. just follow the steps. do a backup of your important data before u start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
but i really think u have no clue what u are facing by flashing ure device. every data on youre phone (not those on youre storage card) will be lost and all the programms u installed will be gone so u have to reinstall them after flash. by flashing ure device u will completely remove everything thats on ure phone and relace it with the new rom. did u ever updated youre device via seus?
the sony pictures app will be gone also and then u probably will not be able to watch your movies u have on youre card. unless u have this as a cab somewhere.
I've always recommended SPB Warehouse Backup. I made a thread, though nobody commented on it...but IMHO, and I gtrab and Siruis [X] are now using them, it's the best backup/restore program out there. It allows you to restore all your PIM and programs after flashing your phone.
The trial allows you to use it for 5 times before having to purchase a license. It's well worth it as custom ROMs are coming out every couple days or so, it saves time, effort, and the frustration of having to constantly restore your phone manually.

Image of complete phone as backup?

Dear all,
sorry to ask this question in this part of the forum , hope the question fits here.
Is it possible to do something like an "image" of the complete phone, that can be flashed again as a kind of backup or as rollback when trying new ROMS.
So, practically a methode to backup the complete phone before testing a new ROM, and in case the new one doesn't work to roll back completely to the status before.
Is this somehow possible?
Thsnks and sorry if this is a stupid question ;-)

Hi,
I´m using "Sprite Backup" to create an image of my actual rom. It worked fine for me, but it is not free. Maybe there are free solutions too?
Best regards
Lars
Hi,
looking on the sprite homepage, I'm more talking about the "cloning" than the backup...just that I do not need to have variables in my clone image...just a one to one image, that can be later on applied again....

Yes, sounds like Norton Ghost of PPC.
Now, if miro666 will share in details, what's this amazing merge ROM Level 1 does which supposedly 'merge' Dutty's HG6 with TESS LEO I? Really mind boggling..how is it up till this very second? any complication? please share in details. thanks.

Sounds like what I'm looking for...anything below 300$ doing this?
Maybe the sbp backup can do the same for me....testing some Roms, and if I dont like it, g back to the last working setup....
Thanks for all your feedback

MTTY
In the good ol' days (htc typhoon) you could create one bin file of the phone. If you wanted te revert back to that image you could flash de bin file back thru SD card.
Now there is still MTTY but now it creates 3 files wich have to be recooked into one nbh file (if i am not mistaken)

Hello,
is there anything like Sprite but freeware or at least less expensive?
I'm a student and can't afford a $300 program. But the features sound so awesome! Especially if you're changing ROMs very often...
Best wishes from Germany

That is one of the things I miss about having an Android phone. There is a backup and restore function built in to recovery image built by Amon_RA. It's too bad we can't have something like that for WM.
I have used Sprite in the past and it has caused me some grief, but only when switching devices.
It's not an important enough feature for me to pay more than a few dollars for anyway.
What about ...
can you not dump your rom and achieve all the setting??
Thanks
Jon

What he means is that you can restore from different ROMs and devices.
These settings don't actually merge the ROMs, they limit certain system files from being overwritten on restoral.
I find, at least with SPB backup, its less than perfect.
