BigJ's Revision 1.6u (FINAL!) ROM updated: 5/22/07
+++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 1.6u.++++++++++++++
updated ROM with kitchen unified 1.0.0.0, here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Resolved Bluetooth issues, all of them, finally! ON/OFF toggling no longer cycles forever, PAN is working 100%, GPS units all working properly -Resolved WM6 crossbow theme. I figured out why the stupid icons werent showing up cbow (forgot the crossicon.dll) -Resolved minor slowdowns (upped the cache to 4m for FS and FAT) -Updated PhoneAlarm to r1.60.1 NOTES:: from this revision Bluetooth issues are now 100% resolved. PAN has been FULLY tested, file xfers are FULLY tested, turning on/off has been FULLY tested. There are no more lockups or hangups with BT. The PAN functionality has been restored for laptop users. GPS & Headset issues are FULLY resolved. I will have a seperate thread documenting the files I changed and have a link to download those changes to make implement into your own kitchen. This will most likely be my last ROM on this kitchen. Another kitchen is on its way, and I will most likely pick back up from there. This release is to be considered stable and finalized in its current state. If you do happen to run across issues that can specifically be tracked down to this ROM, I will correct them and if need be, release an update, or at the very minimum a CAB file to patch the issue. SPECIFIC ISSUES WITH r1.6u. Nothing as far as the ROM is concerned, there are 2 issues outstanding both of wich are not ROM related. 1 - User.agent string. Its functioning exactly the way new WM (windows mobile) devices are supposed to function, unfortunately most portable websites do not recognize the new WM portable useragent. 2 - Phonealarm issues. The complaints here mirror those on the softwares homepage forums. The program seems to be an "alpha" at best as most issues are not resolved even in their final release. Since the software is not what I would consider to be stable, I will be removing it from the ROM as stated above. =============================== =============================== =============================== ***FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS*** MOVED TO THE VERY BOTTOM!

Thank you! _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ +++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 1.5u ß++++++++++++++ updated ROM with kitchen unified 1.0.0.0, here are the changes +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Updated PhoneAlarm to r1.60 b154 (final) -Updated PIMBackup to r1.9 (up from 1.8 -Replaced Bluetooth files yet again... -Removed more programs from loading on the today screen by default NOTES:: from this revision This is a ßeta! I went through the ENTIRE foresaken registry and replaced EVERY single bluetooth file with those from AKU2.0. In doing so I had to change some of the USB drivers as well, and replace the WMODEM files. I have been testing for 6 hours while watching TV ... changing profiles, turning the BT on and off in the com manager, making calls, transferring files. I even hooked it up 3x and connected to the wmodem on my laptop via BT as well as via USB. the phone charges and every single program is functioning properly.... because of this..... I re-enabled phonealarm BT functionality and profiles. For those of you willing to be brave and test out the BT and profiles in PA once again, they are there for you to do so. PLEASE REPORT BACK if you do! PA is now finalized, the update notes state that the bluetooth issues have been fixed permanently as well as the lockups on soft-resets. This remains to be seen. Im pumping releases so fast trying to correct issues, i dont have time to properly beta test for you guys, so i am making the beta's public. Enjoy the changed beta themes, as soon as i roll to a final, the theme pack for the beta will be available to download. RE: the bluetooth, if this hasnt solved the problem once and for all i will not be releasing another ROM until the problem is fixed permanently. Trust me when i say, its as fustrating for me, as it is for you guys. I pray, that all your BT woes are gone forever with this chunk of files. Its about 4am now... im going to bed. Ill give you guys about 2-3 days to test this Beta and let me know if its working or not. Cross your fingers, cuz it may be a long wait till the BT issue is resolved if this wont fix it. This is a ßeta! SPECIFIC ISSUES WITH r1.5uß -BT PAN is broken effectively making it not work with laptops -ALL headset functionality and GPS is fixed however. ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 1.4u++++++++++++++ updated ROM with kitchen unified 1.0.0.0, here are the changes +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Resolved Bluetooth compatibility issues with phonealarm -Added Outlook inbox menu item "Mark all as read" & "Delete All" -Added PhoneWeaver Profile Manager (start/programs/profile config) -Added Dopewars Game -Updated LVM Time to r1.1 -Removed Phonealarm's ability to use profiles with my skin. DO NOT USE THE PROFILES! Use phoneweaver for profiles NOTES:: from this revision Apologies about the phonealarm/bluetooth issues. I spent 2 hours on pocketmax forums reading and looking for a solution to no avail. As a compromise im releasing 1.4u early, with integrated phoneweaver to control profiles. Ive disabled phonealarm's ability to control the bluetooth, removed profile registry entries, and removed profile icons. Basicly dont use the profiles. I added PhoneWeaver profile manager for those of you that need/want to use profiles. Thank you for the feedback.... ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 1.3u++++++++++++++ updated ROM with kitchen unified 1.0.0.0, here are the changes +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Resolved Bluetooth instability issues (long story, please test and report back before i say 100%) -Resolved numerous application registration issues (yay!) -Resolved device name using illegal characters, changed to PPCGeek -Resolved crashes on soft-resets -Resolved lockups on incoming calls -Added Mars WeatherPanel, much more stable and user-friendly than spb -Added Mars WeatherPilot for 1 hand navigation of wp -Added skinned calculator, could not get 1-calc to integrate, oh well >< -Added default owner information -Added GPS Icon under settings by request -Added Keyboard modification -Updated Handyswitcher to r3 b58 -Updated wm6 solitaire (retained graphics dll however for nicer looking cards) -Updated Devicelock to 1.2 -Updated Phonealarm to FULL 1.58 release, rollback from unstable beta 1.6 -Updated browser.dll file, the user-agent string is now empty so it pulls the ua from the registry -Removed Spb Weather, crashed the phone randomly during updates -Removed more today screen plugins from loading by default -Removed Frogger began to "whitescreen" my builds like monopoly... weird -Removed HELP shortcut in start menu & programs (R.T.F.M.) grrrrr! NOTES:: from this revision Most of you followed this through the ßeta so I''ll pickup from there. The bluetooth is working properly for me. I have tested for 4 days, no soft resets, transferring files, using a headset, turning it on and off about 2x an hour all day long, using it to connect to a toshiba laptop, etc. I have it on good authority that Im forcing a mode that isnt "optimal", but since its working perfectly, not crashing, turning on & off properly etc. Ive decided to leave it this way. If you find issues with it still, please post up, and well see what we can do to resolve it. I pray that its as stable for you as it has been for me since i replaced the files. I got the files from 3 different kitchens, the AKU3.5 for the universal, the AKU3.5.2 refresh for the blueangel, and helmi's WM6 universal kitchen. The registry entries were pulled from helmi (what can i say, i trust his work!) and those are the same entries that change the BT mode from SAN to PANU (whatever the hell that means). In regards to the random lockups on incoming calls, and the soft-reset hangs, this was successfully traced to phonealarm BETA... as such the OEM package has been redone, and setup for the full & stable 1.58 --- In honor of this... I included the full profile icons for those of you that use them (they are still disabled by default, but if you turn them on all of the supporting icons are there). Im sure we have all tracked the user-agent B.S. so that should be pretty self explanotory. To reduce conflict in the future I just set it blank so it forces the browser to pull the ua from the registry. It also allows PIE+ ua options to override the dll. A few updates to the integrated applications of course, and the much anticipated WeatherPanel integration. ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 1.2u++++++++++++++ updated ROM with kitchen unified 1.0.0.0, here are the changes +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Resolved default background alignment issues -Resolved weather plugin, not accepting new templates or zip code searching -Resolved today screen issue, where to many items were loading on initial flash -Resolved version numbering (forgot to update it last time) -Added two additional weather template files (load your own into \windows\templates) -Removed HitchHiker Application, relied on .NET 2 framework wich is not included in the kitchen and therefore no longer in my ROM NOTES:: from this revision This release was the biggest headache ive had in months (read "migraine") Getting the weather application to recognize a template folder, was easily the worst OEM package troubleshooting ive ever done. It works now, thank goodness, and comes pre-loaded with gismeteo, weather.com and intellicast. Use weather.com for zipcode cities, or for more accurate go to www.weather.com and punch in the city/state (no zip) and hit search, click on the city.... in the address bar there will be a city code "USCA0107" or something like that... use that as the city code for the most accurate results. If you really care, i rebuilt the OEM package from scratch, force changed the setup.dll to make the %installdir% become %windows% and installed the program, i then let that dll hard-code the damn service file, then carried that over to the OEM package, exported and ran diffs on the registry and rebuilt the *.rgu file.... pain ... in .... the .....rear. tested 5 or 6 times because I had to track down wich file(s) were looking where for the templates... figured it out, created my own reg key after digging some forums to redirect the template folder to force-look at windows as the root path.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR but it all was not wasted, not only did i get the stupid things to work, you can now add your own template files to \Windows\templates\. I uploaded the OEM pack to my folder in case anyone else needs/wants it.... i would NOT suggest using sogarths, as its "broken" so far as template files are concerned. It was a good place to start though. Getting the theme files to re-align themselves was also a pain, but once i realized wich files the kitchen was looking for, and how to CHANGE the default files it looks for (wich also let me find and modify ALL of the today screen initial loaders so i put those close to a stock boot), i got it working properly again. I cleaned up the gradient a little and well, ya, there you go. Once i got it all togethor, i spent seriously 6 or 7 hours just playing with every single exe file on the phone. ran it into the ground, compressed 1 week of testing into a "itty bitty little living space" (alladin) and feel that this release will stand on its own now for quite some time. That being said, this will be the last release I make until school is out regardless of if issues arise. I will post up a patch in the form of a cab file if anything radical needs fixing (kinda like sogarth with the service packs). That, and i actually feel bad releasing so many revisions in such a short time, im sure you guys (like me) are burned out on flashing your phones and would just like to sit on a nice, stable flash for a while. Olay! comrades! You guys are the best! ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 1.1u++++++++++++++ updated ROM with kitchen unified 1.0.0.0, here are the changes +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Resolved email issues, email is now working properly -Added newest release of "PIM-Backup" 1.8 (up from 1.7) -Added Missile Defense Game (may not stay, but fun) -Added Resco 2007 1.1u specific issues -Hitchhiker not working (.NET2 dependancies missing, will be removed in r1.2u) sorry bout that, thought it was removed. You may install .NET2 if you would like it to run again. -Default background is now off-center when built with this kitchen, removing the pipe from the rt side of the screen and shifting left. Will recreate with my source files to re-center the image - the weather plugin... USA zip code search for cities not functioning. Need to add a US weather template for updates. ill integrate that template into the next release NOTES:: from this revision The email issue was rather simple once i ran a diff on my kitchens... the phone uses an HTML file for displaying, and i had inadvertantly removed it thinking it was a help file. Updated Resco to its new final release, and updated PIM Backup yet again haha. I put in missile defense on a request but it may not stay in, fun however so enjoy. ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 1.0u++++++++++++++ updated ROM with kitchen unified 1.0.0.0, here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Added newest release of "PIM-Backup" 1.7 (up from 1.5) -Added newest release of XCPUScalar 3.01 (up from 3.00) -Added FreeCell -Added Spider Solitaire -Added PiePlus -Removed A ton of "new" junk from the unified ROM kitchen hehe -Removed new MMS OEM package, and re-inserted known working one from r9.5 to hopefully resolve a weird issue that has recently arised and may have been my own doing late one night during cleanup. NOTES:: from this revision Not everything has been fully tested and put through the rungs, but I hope this release to have my own touches with the added stability, enhancements & bugfixes of the unified project! r9.6 remains available in the older thread until this has been tested thoroughly. Please note that this ROM has *NOT* gone through my normal test phases and may contain errors. Please post with any issues that have NOT been resolved in the 9.6 thread. Sidenote: when i use the .NET sp2.2 files for the unified rom, createos.exe fails to finish running. It was the only issue I ran into and therefore .NET 2 sp2 is still NOT included in my ROM. ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.6++++++++++++++ removed r9.5 and uploaded revision 9.6 Here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Resolved Camera shortcut not showing up under programs -Resolved BT-Audio lagging, now instantaneous and no longer prompts -Resolved locking issues and application lockups by lowering the cache settings to free up more program memory and increase stability on older devices (a small % may need to fully disable FATFS cache) -Added newest release of "PIM-Backup" now allowing scheduled backups -Added Othello Game -Added Space Invaders -Added "Treo-like" Speed dial today plugin -Added Weather application today screen plugin -Added ext.rom unlock application (shortcut found under programs) -Added PDF Viewer -Removed Duckhunt (Pulled the game to lean more towards "retro" and to allow room for some other applications) -Removed Batti (Found an alternative I like much more) -Removed even more help files and pointless pictures from ROM Base NOTES:: from this revision This release is more or less a release for you guys, since we reached INCREDIBLE stability in the 9.5 release, I decided to gear this release more towards the feedback i was receiving with what to include in the next release as far as applications are concerned. There is the much anticipated weather application integration, the removal of "newer" games such as duckhunt and replaced by retro/classic type games. I fixed a few stupid mistakes from 9.5 like the camera shortcut and the BT-Audio routing being a hassle to use. I threw in the "neat" treolike speeddial today plugin that (believe it or not) has been around since the ppc6600 (wm3), and somehow lost to the pages of time until palm revived it. I dunno, i dont have much to say. This release was by far the most fun that Ive worked on, since I wasnt tackling retarded functionality issues, and the 2 solid weeks ive been running it, ive been extremely happy with its stability, even with all of the added today crap I put on the screen, it seems more "solid" than my previous iterations. With this release completed, I will be taking a break for the next month or two, I really need to focus on my upcoming finals. Unless there is a showstopper, please dont expect a 9.7 for quite some time. I hope you guys enjoy this release as much as I do, and the larger majority of my co-workers! A few people have asked for my kitchen, PM me and we will discuss details. ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.5++++++++++++++ removed r9.4 and uploaded revision 9.5 Here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Resolved BT PAN issues, Bluetooth should now be working properly with the PAN settings (thanks Sarid!) -Resolved Missile Command Registry Entry issue -Added Contact/Schedule/Task/Etc. Backup Application -Added Chess Game -Added Task+ today plugin to enhance task functionality/customization -Added Hitchhiker WiFi Application -Added Dictionary Editor to allow modification of T9 Prediction & Spellcheck -Added UI Tweak application to customize your themes to your liking (and get back the bow-mario default colors haha) -Removed MineSweeper (WM5 doesnt allow you to flag the bombs.... gay) NOTES:: from this revision Yet another maintenance release, a little bit of fine-tuning and a few little gems added to this release. The biggest issue I wanted resolved with this release was the BTPAN, since there is a fix, and no ETA on the next kitchen release, I talked to some of the other ROM authors and got what I needed to make an OEM package to get this working properly. I also was emberrased to have the missile command registry not in the ROM.... oops haha. I decided against changing the registry cache'ing & network time. The very few people who still have old models, can manually go in and change those things, there is more than enough information (especially on page 10-11-12) to resolve the issue and it seems to be the minority, not the majority that suffer lockups and punishing everyone did not seem fair. I also did some homework on the network time and found that not only does it NOT trigger activesync, it does NOT connect to EVDO to update. It uses the radio wich is always active anyways. What I found to be triggering the Activesync & EVDO was my exchange sync. When testing 9.5 i just backed up the PIM and never put in activesync settings, and found that it only would trigger ONCE after a soft reset and not again unless i reset the phone again. (or hooked it up to the computer). I have not had ANY success making a bow-mario theme. I have tried 4 FOUR different stupid programs to make themes, and none of them are able to allow me to get the theme to look the original way. soooo instead of a theme, i put in some really cool tools that let you just change the bars back to the original colors. Those tools also allow you to modify any theme color settings, so its defenitely a keeper! I was going to go with SPB backup tool, but the thing is HUGE compared to the one i found. The only drawback is that you cant "schedule" backups, but seriously....sync your stupid phone or copy your PIM.... i am so confused with the obsession of backup utilities. Either way i found a free one, tested it with tasks, contacts, and my calendar and it worked great. So there you go, a little "darkside" in the phone for you backup nutz. The dictionary editor is pretty sweet, i never knew you could mod that stuff until someone posted here asking for it with a hint that it was possible (thanks!). I threw in chess on a recomendation, and hitchhiker as well. Not sure what "added" features hitchhiker adds but there you go. Remember to load your wifi up before you open it though or itll just hang and error once you enable it if the program is open before wifi is turned on. I had to remove the PPC Hax program because it has some defaults that load when you open the program, and it SAVES THE STUPID DEFAULT ENTRIES when you close it and makes the system very unstable. As opposed to it READING the existing entries and displaying them. I was kinda bummed but editing the registry by hand is not to difficult so im over it. Regarding the to-do for safe-mode. My experience booting into safemode was unspectacular... seemed like a waste of time, if you screw up your phone bad enough to be in there in the first place, you prolly need a hard reset....with the backup tools you now have, as well as a really cool pim.vol file, and a computer that will sync your device... i think you guys are good! OH and before i forget, i did try out the TaskManager2.7 that a few people reccomended. It was lackluster, crashed the phone 3x, and seemed very "not - fluid" in its functionality. It defenitely had a slew of options that were neat at best, but nothing to write home about that memmaid doesnt handle effectively. I think thats about it, not to much but ramblings for these notes. Nothing *REAL* crazy happened when building up for this. I would like to thank Saridnour for his help getting the registry entries for the BTPAN fix, and all of you who have made wonderful suggestions, and stuck with me through all of the major bugs and glitches. I hope r9.6 is a long way off! ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.4++++++++++++++ removed r9.3 and uploaded revision 9.4 Here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -Removed Texas Holdem (it needs an update to go online, and its retail, and its huge) -Removed smallmenu (what a pile of crap, i give up on cascading menus) -Removed Flash7 (very user dependant anyways & takes up very little room, so not urgent to have integrated into the ROM) -Added Some Tiny & Fun games: minesweeper, missile command, pacman, mappy, jezzball, whirlwind 21, duck hunt -Added PencilBox -Added a menu item under contacts for the rt softkey to sort contacts by first name -Added WM5newMenu (fantastic program!!!) -Added Daylight Savings Time Fix -Added Registry entry that puts back in the ability to clear the VM icon -Added Today Plugin that lets you see the last call you made/recieved/missed and is fully configurable! (dope) -Updated Kevtris to revision 2 from the author -Updated DigDug Game with its freeware equivalent (allows state-save, only hassle is you have to configure the pump button) -Updated MsPacMan Game with its freeware equivalent (allows state-save, and of course no longer a trial!) NOTES:: from this revision This revision is more or less a maintenance release. I was actually testing this build as you see above, but did not want to bother people with another release until the new kitchen was released. The DST issues seem to be huge for people though so of course I decided to step it up and get this out there for you guys. The DST fix is actually just an EXE that runs in the phones startup, if you dont need it, just remove it from the windows/startup folder. It was a blessing to finally be able to take my favorite two games and find freeware versions of them to eliminate the hassle of trialware in the ROM. I removed some things, and I hope their loss is acceptable (smallmenu, flash7, holdem) but I had my reasons. Between now and r9.5 Im going to work on fixing my OEM packages, I want to learn how to UPX my packages to save space and I would really like to start on my documentation project so others can follow in my footsteps. Thank you guys so much for your continued efforts & constructive criticism! ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.3++++++++++++++ removed r9.2 and uploaded revision 9.3 Here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -working MMS for Sprint! -resampled the custom audio in higher quality, resampled the default ring, changed some alarms around, and changed default.wav to suit the theme -found smallmenu to cascade, i dont like it much, but its there & better than wisbar -updated coreplayer to 081 w/ additional plugins to support more formats -added wm6rdp OEM package from FIN (works awesome!) -added LIVE Search (livesearch is freakin cool, thanks for the suggestion) -added flashlight program per request (neat, but be careful to not burnout the LED I removed the "always on" option) -removed IA_Zip program as winrar is superior -added SoftKey control panel applet (change your left & right softkeys via a gui in the settings! -Put Galaga in Games to complete namco collection -got rid of almost all the help files -updated the GETMMSvideo dll file for the camera to work better with the newer version of ArcSoft MMS NOTES:: from this revision MMS really does *NOT* want to be an OEM package, this im sure of. Instead of building a proper OEM, I built one that is missing the .rgu Registry file, and instead offloaded all the registry changes that are made to a CAB file that needs to be installed after you bootup. (will need to soft reset). This is not a compromise I wanted to make, but it works now 100% of the time, it eliminates the conflicts that were arising with the threading SMS application I use, and it correctly builds the outlook-mms inbox. I am hoping now, with a little help, to get a working OEM package that includes and .rgu file but well see... im pretty sick of flashing my phone right now. I estimate that unless there are HUGE issues, r9.4 will be once the new kitchen is posted up. I had two responses of a lockup, one guy found that the caching is what is eating the program memory, and he lowered it and it resolved the problem. I have not had that problem with my device, so if you do, you may want to turn the caching down just a hair. Also if your device is slowing down, run the "ReclaimRAM" program as it really helps clear up unused memory. I want to thank those of you responding here in the thread, and helping me out with issues, and making good suggestions on things we can do to make this a better ROM. ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.2++++++++++++++ removed r9.1 and uploaded revision 9.2 Here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -MS Voice Command *FINALLY* fully functional, now routes through BT headsets just fine! (thanks Slypher) -Added in BTAudio so you can route all audio (music etc.) to your BT Headset -Added in screenshot application (ScreenCAP) -Fixed DeviceLock REG setting (thanks Slypher) -Added "Alarm6.wav" for a big wakeyourassup for the alarmclock program -MMS *STILL* an issue on SPRINT, (researching) NOTES:: from this revision The MS Voicecommand fix.... Slypher pointed me to the registry entry that was screwing the whole thing up. The funny thing is.... that reg entry is CORRECT in the OEM .rgu registry file... what I did not realize, is that the OS entry for cyberon VC is placed *AFTER* the OEM folders are all built to ROM, so the old cyberon entry was being written into the entry where MSVC needed to be. You see since cyberon is built into the original AKU, the OS builds itself to have its registry entries. The file/folder you delete is the file that captures the cberon VC audio and routes it, since MSVC uses a different route, the DLL cant handle the request and fubars. SOOOOOOO....... in your kitchen....(and yes ill upload a new MSVC OEM)... delete the \btagext.dll\ folder from \OEM\Serial_BTUR.dll\ once that is deleted, make a copy of vcbthag.dll from the MSVC directory and name it btagext.dll thats it, now your MSVC dll file named btagext.dll will get written in where the cyberon one was, and will now route audio properly through MSVC!!!! Have fun all you kitchen builders! and enjoy yet another update to this schweeet ROM ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.1++++++++++++++ removed r9 and uploaded revision 9.1 Here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *Hopefully* resolved MMS Picturemail issues (i sent two, they both worked) Fixed shortcut placement in programs (added wmodem & wisbar) Fixed dialpad skin to not have graphic covered by talk time when you have a picture ID set to that number Fixed pegcard.dll file (had incorrect solitaire graphic dll module in my kitchen ><) Updated alarm 1-5 to more suit the theme (1-4 are mario 5 is CTU) Updated default ringer to be more clear (increased wav from 11000 to 16000 from the original sample) Cleaned up & removed most help files and duplicate shortcuts in /windows/ NOTES:: from this revision found that CREATEOS chokes on initflashfiles after a certain amount, to resolve, I built ONE HUGE initflashfiles.txt and put it in the OEM folder under Z_Reg_Tweaks (the one i use to write all the registry changes after all the OEM packages are built to avoid reg conflicts) By doing this, I have had zero issues with shortcuts randomly not showing up on different builds of the ROM. And... for those of you following how to build a kitchen... make sure your initflashfiles & rgu files all have a HARD RETURN at the bottom (a blank line after your last line of txt) or it wont compile properly everytime in CREATEOS. I have also decided to build a version of this ROM that is not customized out of the box for SPRINT as our community here is not exclusive to SPRINT. I do NOT have access to a verizon phone however, so I will need you VZ people to give me feedback to ensure the same stability and functionality as the SPRINT one. Im glad to see this evolve into something that a large majority of you enjoy. Thanks! ++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9+++++++++++++++ removed r8 and uploaded revision 9.. here are the changes ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ removed star power sound on volume control removed dominoes game to make room for microsoft voice cmd updated phone dialpad skin to suit the mario theme added microsoft voice command w/ working BT & button #5 removed .NET1 as much as i could and used kitchen netcf2 after doing research on .NET1 My Comments -I have absolutely no problems with this setup. Myself & others are struggling to include MS VOICE & PHONEALARM, so once we figure these out expect another release. I also plan on finishing my custom phone dialpad to suit my mario theme so stay tuned for that as well. Unfortunately I cant take requests, this rom was built for my fellow Sprint employees and all of my friends. We have tested now 8 revisions of this rom and find it to suite all of our needs. I know the spb suite things are fairly popular, but to be honest, everyone I know has 3-4 things only on their today screen and hate "junk" if you will. (BT audio route, phonealarm, lvmtime, calendar+) So we opted to not even include the OEM packages. I will be documenting my OEM packages on the FTP sometime in the next few weeks, now that things have settled down, and we have a stable kitchen. I have had an exceedingly difficult time with the instructions available on the forums, and tearing through countless hours of thread reading.... it has been decided that once the final kitchen is released I will be writing a step by step guide, with fully illustrated pictures on how to build your own ROM from the kitchen. I will also include my HUGE list of shit not to do... seriously, this is going to be important... like adding more ringtones, or overwriting the existing ones with your own.... will get you a white screen on boot... stupid shit like that. My struggles with getting the registry to do what I wanted, why some programs just plain wont work as OEM (like the 20226.cab)... i will also be including shortcuts you can use to ensure that when a new kitchen comes out, all you need to do is open a .bat file and ALL your changes will carry over to the new kitchen. I wondered so much why other ROM authors dont include a lot of these things, and after spending (no sh*t like 3 weeks) building up a stable, working, ROM... i completely understand why... it takes SOOOOOOO MUCH TIME!!! and when you are in the groove and getting your ROM up and running, you dont take time to note the changes you made, and the steps you took, and especially documenting the mistakes you made along the way. I cant thank enough people for the support Ive gotten from the community to see this through, to finally have a phone the way **I** want it. And now.... now that my kitchen is baking ROMs the way I want, to be able to customize each and every single persons ROM that I come across that wants it, fully suited to their needs in the case of a hard reset. PPCGeeks is the best support community I have ever seen, and if there is anything more that I can contribute, believe me I will. Please enjoy my release, I hope it to be of the same calibur as the others that have posted completed ROM projects. -Thank YOU! REGISTRY DOCUMENTATION Quote:
>>>>======--------F.A.Q. ???--------======<<<< -Phone will not vibrate once you install this ROM.... actually just a registry edit that re-enables the LED's fixes the vibrate function Quote:
-BlueTooth is functioning funny, wont turn on, gets the neverending spin and then shows on but wont work... This issue is related to the AKU3.5 Unified Kitchen. I have since resolved this issue, please flash the most current BigJ ROM to resolve this issue. Please flash the most current BigJ ROM. (was fixed in r1.6u) -Picturemails show up tiny and your unable to download the pic/vid The keys are incorrect for Platform & Version. This will work, but is only TEMPORARY for that browsing session! Quote:
"Version"="PIE" "Platform"="WM5" Picturemail should now show up properly! -People sometimes find that the MMS does not work you most likely forgot to run the vz or sp MMS-Registry.CAB file included with the download the vz is for VERIZON and the sp is for SPRINT -Once you change off of the default theme, you cant get back to it go to your themes and choose "Windows Default", the task bars will be bright blue Open UI Tweaker and select "WM5 Color Change", then select "Softkey Background" and Taskbar Background" from the drop down menu and set each one to R=0, G=113, B=132 you will now have them back to the original theme colors -DigDug no longer pumps! The free version button mapping is not the same Go into Game Settings, click on the tab at the bottom that reads "Button Mapping" -> Click on the one that says "Action" and looks like a black circle...change it from "Player 1 Start" to PUMP. -> Change rocket button that says "Menu" to "Player 1 Start". Now hit OK in the top right, and Play! pump now works the way its supposed to! -My Extended Rom still installs the sprint stuff... You have never *properly* unlocked your ext.rom Follow the instructions 3 posts up from the bottom on page 7... linked here. (has a file attachment, not hard to find) http://www.ppcgeeks.com/bigjs-revisi...start,180.html How Do I Backup Threaded SMS Backup this file from your /Windows/ directory PalmMsgV001 If you copy that file out of your windows directory and then back after a hard reset, then all your messages will show back up. -My contacts are gone! HELP! the screen just flashes when i click contacts (n00b) The PIM.VOL file is formatted differently on AKU 3.x you will NEED to sync your phone with activesync prior to updating your handset from an AKU 2.x ROM. >>>If you failed to do so, downgrade to the official ROM, and restore your contacts (pim or whatever) and then SYNC the phone, upgrade, and then sync back in. You can *NOW* use your old backup methods. -How do i DISABLE PiePlus? If you do not enjoy the enhancements of PiePlus it is very simple to remove, it is merely a registry key that calls the application To DISABLE PiePlus DELETE this registry key Quote:
now when you open IE, it will not load the "helper object" that is PiePlus -My phone crashes or i run out program memory. Why is there so much memory in use? Why cant i launch other programs? The file cache is what is taking up all of your program memory. I have most of the settings adjusted for speed and stability, however... older hardware revisions are unable to handle the massive amount of cache'ing that I have setup. You may also just want/need more program memory for application execution. Adjust the values as stated below to lower/disable the file cache entries. Also remember to run "Reclaim RAM" occasionaly to reclaim spent ram that is in "limbo" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Set this to 2096 Quote:

First Impressions
- Not all icons updated properly to wm6 theme. need to look into that, followed the instructions on integration with the new kitchen, so I must have missed something or forgotten to move the icons folder after toying around in the LOC & OS folder to see what changed in the new kitchen - Forgot to remove the help shortcut in the start menu. Not really a big deal but because there are NO help files, it errors a llllooooottttttttt if you open it. - WModem still broken. works immediatley after soft reset, but still receives com open error on subsequent launches until reset again - Today screen takes a little longer to load on initial boot, and some plugins dont appear, it seems i hit the max # of displayable plugins, but rest assured they all work, you just cant have like 20 haha. - The new kitchen is a little easier to work with, and there is a lot more "makes sense" stuff in there. I also love how every "dirty fix" is fully integratged properly into the ROM. After seeing the massive list of what was fixed, im excited to be up and running already on this platform.

Do I really have to do these steps for Sprint ? I have flashed BigJ, Saridnours, Colonel's and Yumi's ROMS, but never did or even read these :
1 - unlock your extended.rom (shortcut under Programs, or find the downloadable files to do so 3 posts up from the bottom on page 7 from the r9.6 thread) If you have already flashed, run the Unlock ext.rom file found under programs and soft reset. 2 - delete everything in your extended.rom2 folder 3 - soft reset, and ensure the files are still Do I really need to ?
