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

the collection of command line tools in most of the kitchens will do it but they're a PIA to use... recently, ive used the automated tools in the HyperCore kitchen or the new Wizard Service Tool 4.0.... that thing is awesome!
Leshan, the you'll need to use the Hypercore kitchen to do that. I don't think that it is well sorted out instruction-wise, but it does extract the ROM (XIP) as well as the SYS and OEM folders. You might post in his thread or send him a PM as I'm not able to go into detail right now since I'm at work.

Hi, Thank you.
Yes, I have already tried to use Hypercore kitchen to do my job. I tried to Dump the Official T-Mobile AKU3.3 rom take off some trash and add some apps. I know you created a clean AKU3.3. So may I have two questions please:
1. How can I take off the T-mobile dialer skin and use the WM5 default one or even WM6 default one? I tried to replace the 6 'bmp' files and some 'dll' files, I only got the blue dialer skin but no 3D button and no smartdial.
2. How can I replace the old Office with Office 2007?
Thank you.

If you dont want to mess with cooking the rom you can use these cabs..
First one will replace the carrierlogo (with nothing..you wont see it)from the dialer and activate the default wm5 dialer .
Second will enable smart dialing but however you wont be able to use smartdial because the default wm5 skin does not support this ..
If you really want smart dialing you can use the 3rd file which is a wm6-ish skin.Or pick another one from http://www.zombienexus.net
I dont think office 2k7 will work under wm5 maybe i am wrong..
Sorry for bad english...

Leshan, I had to replace all of the .gif files in the OEM camera folder with the files from the original Cingular 2.25 ROM to get the blue smart dialing back. In addition, there are some registry changes that need to be made so the smart dialing highlights will not be pink and grey. You can also replace the Phone Pad with the files from the same ROM (MMS/other apps folder) as well so you totally get rid of the pink and grey.

So, Would you please tell me the name of the folder which have the .gif files. And the registry changes detail?
Thanks. I do not want to just change the registry in the WM5 to disable the Tmobile Dialer skin.

The two folders are 1a8ae8d9-5f48-47a0-9d6d-1731f4ac839a (MMS/other apps) and 71d74e8a-db26-4396-936e-96957645b723 (camera). You have to delete all of the pink and gray .bmp's and then take the blue .bmp's from the Cingular ROM and put them in the camera folder to get blue smart dialing. You'll then have to get the phone pad app. from the Cingular ROM as well. The .rgu file in 71d74e8a-db26-4396-936e-96957645b723 has the color settings for smart dialing. I'll let you find them.

By the way, Is there any Kitchen which can directly dump from the MDA in to a .nbf or nb file?
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.
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")

I have downloaded and tried your ROM, it's a great ROM, almost exactly what I wanted in my mind.
I would really appreciate if you could share your kitchen and let me experiment.
big thanks again.
With the growing number of ROMs and all the hardwork put behind them, I feel its time to have a comprehensive tutorial for skinning or theming WM 6.5 titanium.
There is a tutorial available, but somehow its very basic. Perhaps one of the theme GURUS can answer these,
1. Does wm6.5 require tsk files or has its own code.
2. Will themegen ce work with WM 6.5.
3. How do we edit an already created theme "cab" only for the wallpaper. No colour or any other change.
4. What if only the taskbars and the wallpaper is something you wanna replace. Do you need to create a theme or just edit the relevant files in an already created theme.
If some one can help in the above, I have a lot of time to create some great themes and even take requests.
WM 6.5 Gurus ...please help.
download any wm6.5 tsk and open it using WinCE Cab manager......study the files and reg included and u should be able to find ur way from there
Now thats magic...
Did exactly....on my way to making a new theme. Thanks agent.
