Hi
Is there a way to get Java apps to work on the XDA2i? I've been looking through this forum to see if there is an answer but cannot find any info? If someone could let me know then that would be splendid Thanks
Install JAVA applications on XDA IIi
If the ROM you cooked does not have the MIDlet manager, you need to install the MIDlet manager first. I am using "intent Java MIDlet Manager" MIDP 2.0 from Tao Group Ltd.
Once you have the MIDlet manager installed on your phone, all Java applications (.jad and .jar files) can be automatically installed when you try to open them. All installed Java applications will be shown and run from within the MIDlet Manager.
I personally went to IBM WebSphere J2ME VM2003 (weme-wm2003-arm-midp20-5.7.2-P-20050304-1743) and am pretty much happy with that..
Hi all!
I'm new at this, but I'd like to learn how I download a normal ROM, and then change the icons and background images, add and remove programs, change the language etc.
I will not go in and change the very advanced stuff.
I've already downloaded this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625971
I do not know if it is correct (or latest), and what more I need. But the easiest might be to go into an already completed the ROM and then just adjust what I have mentioned above.
Hoping for constructive answers
Sincerely,
PS! I've already downloaded and tried different ROMs, so I know how I am doing just that.

What if you try Mondilv ROM kitchen. His kitchen is on the latest official ROM based and works fine. I based my private ROM on his work.
Thanks for the answer.
I'm downloading it now for testing and to try to find out how to edit it myself.
But what's the newest 6.5.3 (or 6.6) kitchen?

The kitchens are the same, it depends what ROM is used as a base. As far as I know, there is no kitchen shared with 6.5.3 ROM, you will have to do it by yourself. The SYS and XIP files for 6.5.3 are somewhere here in the forum available, EXT and OEM can be found as well.
I've looked at this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6LEUx4wEk4&translated=1 but I can't find a program that looks like that. Which program is it that I need to use? I've tried NBHUtil, but that doesn't seemed to be the right one...
I'm actually just gonna do what I was saying in the first post, and when I manage to do it, I will experiment further.

Search for Ervius Visual Kitchen or EVK, and you will find it.
Available as well on my mirror in the kitchen folder. Check my signature for the link.
I think I just give up all these OEM, EXT, MsXIP files, etc.
But is it possible for me to get into the "windows" folder on the ROM I use? I would like to change such as icon images, erase and install other programs and may change the language (which is not very important, but had been fine), etc.
I see that I can get into the "windows" folder on your mobile, but it takes so long to sit there to puzzle. It is easier through the laptop, with mice and larger screen.
Thank you for following up this thread, BeeGee_Tokyo

You can use a file explorer like Total Commander or Resco File Explorer on your device to overwrite or delete files in the Windows folder. However, as long as you do not know what the files that you are deleting are doing, the device might hang afterwards and you have to do a hard reset.
If you want to change icons/pictures of the Sense (aka Manila aka TouchFlo) you can use a tool named Manila Editor.
If you want to change other icons/pictures, they are sometimes in DLL files. Usually you cannot replace them, because they are "in use" by Windows.
Back again to the kitchen, you can find the kitchen that you saw in the youtube movie prepared with a ROM for Topaz here in the forum.
I published my kitchen, check my thread.
Don't worry, even the ROM has a Japanese name, it is based on an English WM6.5 ROM. Not that advanced as Dutty, Mondilv, Iljanok, Patensas, Aman, ......... ROMs, but stable and good for daily use.
PM me if you have specific questions on the kitchen.
Now I'm downloading mondilv's kitchen v.4.1.
That's 6.5, and in english language. Do anyone know where I can find a ROM that runs WM6.5.3 that I can use as ROM-base? (ex. the newest official ROM on htcpedia?)
A summary so far:
1. I have dumped this ROM and have it as a base; http://htcpedia.com/official_norwagian_rom_update_for_touch_diamond2/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html?page=1 (0414 = norwegian language)
2. Downloaded all three .zip files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5310417&postcount=344) and using the build 23518 in SYS, EXT and ROM folders.
3. Disabled some of the programs I do not want (although I do not quite understand what all programs do, of course I understand that YouTube is YouTube, etc. but ...)
4. Set page pool to 20 (no idea what this means but have seen that it is most common: P)
So some questions:
5. Why is there not a automatically "device id"? What is this?
6. How do I add programs (eg Skype, mySpot)? Can I add these. Cab files into the EXT folder?
7. If I want to remove various tones, images, icons of the programs, how can I do this?
So a few questions about Ervius Visual bebe's kitchen v.1.8.2:
8. What is LZX Compression?
9. What is OLD style ROM?
Would've been nice if someone could help me
Is there anyone that can help me with these few questions?

5. Not sure what this error is.
6. To add programs you must find the OEM package and add it to the Ext folder, cabs will not install from the kitchen.
7. I would search the kitchen for .wav, .mp3, .jpg, .png, .gif etc. to for items to customize. make sure they are exactly as they were before you replaced them as far as resolution, filenames, etc.
Icons and manila are more indepth so it is best to find a theme package that suites your tastes. I strongly suggest looking into max Manila as and OEM package.
8. LZX compression is a file compressor that reduces the overall size of the ROM. it can cause issues but it is always good to try it.
9. Old style ROM, I believe this is to use old style packages and normally would not be used.
Ok, thanks for answering
Point 5 is critical, because I can't save or create a ROM without a device id.
Does anybody know why or how I can get it?
5 : I have in my EV Kitchen TOPA10000
6 : cab to oem to ext

Thanks for the link
The problem with the device id is that it doesen't show/make an id automatically, and I can't wright anything there so it's kind of difficult do make a device id. And as I mentioned before, I can't save or create a ROM without the id.
Is there anyone that can help me how to get a device id?
Is it because the base I'm using?
go to KITCHEN FOLDER/ROM and there is file info.txt, I have got in that file this text
Topaz
DPI_192
dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800
MODEL:TOPA10000
CHUNK:64
perhaps this is what you need, can't help you better because my laptop is broken at the moment

what kitchen do you use, i have BeeGee's 3.5 kitchen as a base and everything works well, maybe some file in your kitchen is incorrect

I have this:
1. I have dumped this ROM and have it as a base; http://htcpedia.com/official_norwagi...om.html?page=1 (0414 = norwegian language)
2. Downloaded all three .zip files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=344) and using the build 23518 in SYS, EXT and ROM folders.
But when you're using that kitchen, are you having WM6.5.3?
What I want is to remove Manila, set norwegian language, have WM6.5.3 (not 6.5) and add/remove some programs and ringtones/wallpapers.
Where can I get BeeGee's kitchen? Just to try it...
Hi to all.
I skinned the wm lockscreen to make it look like android.Becuse i don't have imagination or photoshop skills , I stole the icons from antonda's android slidebar for manila2d and the slider from android os, so sorry to all
I tested it on htc mega,but it should work on any qvga device.
To install it simply copy the files from the archive to the \windows folder.Because the files have system,read-only and hidden attributes, you have to copy them withe resco explorer.
Enjoy.
a good look
This looks really good! Any chance of making a WVGA version?
really cool! thx a lot Julian!
can you share the link to the android taskbar which is used in your screenshot ?
it came with the rom
Hi Julian, after I copied all the files to the windows folder. Everything is fine just the unlock tab part can not be displayed, it's totally transparent! Is it because the Livven Screen which I previously installed that affect the display?
i don't know about that
you shoud see in the registry \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\shell\lockscreen\notifications\slider value have to be htc_ls_lockscreen.png
about the WVGA ver. if my gf gives her touch pro 2 to test on it - may be ...
It works, thank you a lot for your help!
wow its work perfect.... thx....
hi,
can you make a .cab file which automatically replace file?, becuose when i try to replace the existing files whith yours (using resco explorer) it says me that they are rom's files, and ask me if i want to replace them. but when i say yes, it gives me an error.
p.s. sorry for my bad english
i like gtalk widget
i want to install a .jar file on my SGM..how to do??i converted .jar tto apk n installed but it force closes every time..
which app should i use as a third party app?
I don't think it's that easy since Android doesn't support native Java code, and renaming a .Jar to .Apk isn't gonna help.
