RETURN TO THE KITCHEN DISASTER AREA Reply
Anyone seen any good kitchens lately? I've tried the following:
PPCGeeks Kitchen Caulkin's (Obviously) That one that is nothing more than a little square window with a bunch of checkboxes in it and then a "Play" button to generate a ROM I cooked another ROM in the OMJ kitchen in 6.1, but then the OMJ crapped up on me after I had made a few ERV files. These ERVIUS Kitchens just don't like me or something. Are there any other kitchens that'll get the job done as well as the ERVIUS varieties had the potential to do? Thanks. Don't worry guys, I haven't quite given up on this yet! :grin: - 2 Bunny |

Not really sure what is going on here, but given 1) I've never had any trouble using OMJ's kitchen, and 2) all the kitchens you've tried are giving you trouble I'd have to conclude it is a) something you are doing or b) something about your computer setup. What exactly is happening when you say they "crapped up on me"? |
Re: Elite | (September 10, 2010) Version 2.5 COMING SOON!! ☺
Yeah Bunny this is very strange, the kitchen that use almost all people for cooking, the OMG and Calk and both are crapped, this is very strange. By the way, may be search and try Indagroove kitchen, but i think it's all gone.

OMJ: Actually created something halfway decent out of this one yesterday, but the next time I hit the "create" button, "platformrebuilder.exe" "has encountered a problem and needs to close". I even tried one of my previous erv files that had been working only minutes before and still got the same thing. Maybe it was just a fluke. I would be willing to give it another try actually if I could get an ERV file for just a 21055 with Manila 2.1 so I'd know what was needed and what isn't. Caulkin's: Worked fine, one day I decided to create a ROM, but it didn't finish right after that: Code:
Finalizing and optimizing ROM structure... The PPCGeeks kitchen and the Simple one with the checkboxes offered not enough customization. Thanks for your help. - 2 Bunny |
Re: RETURN TO THE KITCHEN DISASTER AREA Reply
Do you have an antivirius software running? I ask because I had an issue with mine giving a false positive on that implantxip.exe, then my kitchen didn't work either. I have since put an exception in for this program so it doesn't get deleted or quarantined. After that everything seemed to work. Hope that helps! Can't wait for the new rom.

I had produced a 6.5 rom for 6950 with omj's tool. It worked if the size is not too big.

If you want to put in the time and learn how a kitchen work, build one from the ground up and make your own from a dumped shipped ROM. OSKitchen Zero is a pretty easy to use kitchen. The thing that sucks is that the Sprint CDMA shipped rom cannot be sorted in EXT packages when you dump it. One way around it is to dump a GSM Diamond ROM with the kitchen. If you replace the OEMDrivers and OEMXIPKernel with the Sprint OEMDrivers and OEMXIPKernel, it should boot. As an alternative, you can use the Prekitchen tool by tehpenguin at XDA to sort the dumped Sprint ROM based on a GSM Diamond ROM. I did this when I had my Diamond and it helped clean up a lot of the files in OEMApps into EXT packages. This way is harder as you'll need to copy the app.reg's and app.dat's from the GSM ROM into the corresponding EXT's from the sorted Sprint ROM. You can also take any EXT or OEM from calkulin's/OMJ's kitchen and add it to your own kitchen. It takes a lot of work, but you will understand a lot more about how a kitchen and ROM are built. One thing to keep in mind is the Diamond nk.exe is only a 6.1 version, so if you ever use 6.5, you'll need to recmod modules in the SYS or use the CDMA TouchPro 6.5 nk.exe. I think OMJ's kitchen probably uses the CDMA TouchPro 6.5 nk.exe, as his is more up to date than Calkulin's (which OMJ used as a base). |

I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE COMMUNITY Reply
GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Sorry to add a doublepost here, but after some slight tweaking, I now have a working Lite concept ROM built in the OMJ kitchen. I am currently in the process of getting it back to where we were at before, but with this I have discovered a nice ~100MB of free space total (subject to change based on tweaks and fixes). You see, over the past couple of days, I have been experimenting with ROMs in that kitchen and am now reaching a point where we could conceivably end up with a working ROM within the next couple of weeks (I know it seems like I say that "every couple of weeks", but I'm quite positive we may have a winner this time. If you are new to this thread, this will make more sense to you if you read post #1 (which I update regularly), then Bugs remaining include (but are not limited to): FlipIt not working out of the box, requires CAB installation Comm Manager has text about 10 sizes too big Start Menu Programs folder has 5-10 unnecessary subfolders with 2-3 default applications shortcuts in each instead of all programs being in the root of the "Programs" folder (obvious exceptions to this include Office Mobile, Games, and Tools, the only subfolders that "Programs" really needs). Rhodium PhoneCanvas Not rendering right at all. Mostly unusable unless the numbers you are trying to call were recently called or are your contacts. Small environmental details (device does not automatically power on and unlock when you remove the stylus, screen does not dim in bright light). The Repair of All of these items are currently being pursued by me or I am waiting for responses in various threads on various sites. For now, I think I can handle FlipIt and the PhoneCanvas on my own. I would also take care of the shortcuts in the "Programs" subfolders, but I'm guessing the folders would still be there (?). At any rate, I'm sure it'll get all worked out fine. If anyone wants to help in any way (finding solutions to some burning OMJ Kitchen related questions), you are welcome to do that, or you can just relax, back up your contacts/tasks/call history/smses/etc in PIMBackup and get ready for... Elite 2.5 - 2 Bunny PS: After looking at the calendar, October 10th (10/10/2010) may be a good day for release if I can get it done that early. UPDATE: If you are reading the entire story and were brought here from post 30, please head on down to post 51 to continue reading. If you were just following the thread, post 51 is a good place to continue reading as well. |
NEWS UPDATE Reply
TODAY ON ELITE
Welcome back, fellow surfers who seek a new, better ROM. Its your host 2 Bunny here once again for an update in the world of Elite. These last few weeks have posed even further delays to the release of the ROM. Inside I cry each day that I can't get back out to the kitchen to fix the ROM up even better, and I have not, and will never forget the community in our quest for a good Diamond ROM. Just so you guys aren't "out in the cold" here, I have prepared a special list of things that need to get done. Some more urgent that others (some don't even need to be done before the release, but it would be helpful...): (FIXED - 10/21) #1: First and foremost: The retarded default Programs folder shortcuts. Dang, these things have been a pain. In another thread, I was suggested a utility named "Agent Ransack" to help me find the DAT files that were sticking the Programs folder shortcuts in Random subfolders of "Programs". To put it simply, instead of: "Programs>Phone Programs>Windows Media Player Programs>SPB Screenshot" It looks more like this mess: "Programs>Applications>Phone Programs>Multimedia>Windows Media Player Programs>Utilities>SPB Screenshot" I am going to hunt for what is causing that again, this time searching under some different shortcuts, so I think that can be worked out relatively easily. (FIXED - 10/21) #2: The Dialer - Just never looked right to me. I didn't like that the only way to scroll through the lackluster list of recent calls was with the wheel (although It was pretty fun). Also, it looked really stupid in landscape. To be honest, I liked the one from Caulkin's Kitchen the best, the Mythical "Rhodium PhoneCanvas". If I can't get one that looks like that, I'll go with the runner up, Tachi/Knoop Dialer (Knoop is so fun to say, so that gives it points extra ☺) which is Identical to the "Rhodium PhoneCanvas" with the exception of a very annoying and retarded slide down menu on the screen while you are in a call. Now instead of just tapping a button to activate speakerphone, you get to painstakingly drag a stupid little slider to the bottom of the screen. Yippee! I always take Dialer suggestions as you can imagine. :rr: (Started Working on this, changed XML in DiamondTweak/Advanced Config in the kitchen, but many settings were reverted. May need to add a "Z" in front of the folder name in the kitchen so that these settings are applied last :: Work in Progress) #3: Various Default Settings - Oh where to start. The Backlight, stupid "threaded mode" for SMS/MMS Messages, WiFi Standby mode (disabled by default), Volume levels, and several more that will hit me like a ton of bricks the next time I flash a ROM. #4: Device does not wake up or unlock when the stylus is removed. What a pain. #5: Fonts - Its really hard to see, but I think some of the graphical glitches are caused by a slightly different font. Don't know if we'll fix this one. #6: TF3D Slider - You know how on most devices in Landscape mode the way oversized "Slide Bar" for TouchFlow 3D always disappears into a little arrow that you have to tap to make it appear? Well, for some reason, this particular version does it in portrait too - can you say "AAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!"? #7: Minor Annoyance, but I would like to not have to go through the slow FNGKB configurator at each and every ROM Flash to turn off those irritating "clicks" and that ugly Blue Skin. #8: Manila TF3D - Just another minor annoyance, but I have come accustomed to the "Comm Manager" button being the right softkey on the TF3D "home" tab. I've currently been working on a recipe to implement this, but will probably not be able to mix it in until tonight or tomorrow. #9: FlipIt - This one still is being a pain. Even CAB2OEMing and "Ext_Packages_Converter"ing isn't doing the trick quite right. I am currently hunting for proper OEMs of this. The list seems short, but I can use all the help I can get. If you want, you can pitch in either here, or in the "OMJ Kitchen" thread, right here in our very own "CDMA Diamond Upgrades" subforum of the "HTC Diamond" subforum of the "WM HTC Devices" subforum of the "Windows Mobile" Subforum. Thanks for all the help and support from the community over the months everyone, it sure has made my Diamond better, even with the above complains, and hopefully in the (very) near future, I will be able to give back to the community with a brand new version of Elite. - 2 Bunny |

Re: RELEASE SOON Reply
Well, where is it?
(stamps feet mildly impatiently) Cannot wait to try this out. Using Energy right now and the battery life is killing me, or my Diamond at least. Cheers on the hard work |
Re: Elite | (**UPDATED 10/23) Version 2.5 COMING SOON!! ☺
Battery life and the fact that the ringer keeps not working for the energy rom. I switched over to O.a.T rom for the time being which seems to be great once I installed cookie 2.0. Looking forward to what Elite rom can bring

SUNDAY RELEASE Reply
Thanks for all the support guys. I'm really sorry again for the massive delay here. I've been in the process of transferring the kitchen over to my shiny new laptop, and will pull together whatever I can get tomorrow. If I remember correctly, I had put together a small CAB file that fixes a few things that I haven't managed to fix in the kitchen so far.
I look forward to the release as much as the rest of the community does, thanks again for all your support. :headbang: - 2 Bunny |

Re: Elite | *UPDATED TODAY!!!*~ Special Thanksgiving Release
I just downloaded the thanksgiving release. I am having an issue with the pictures. when i scroll to the pictures tab I am able to swipe through them but if i click on one to enlarge it the picture comes up for a brief moment and then it takes me back to the pictures tab. Is there a way to reinstall the album to fix this?

Re: Elite | *UPDATED TODAY!!!*~ Special Thanksgiving Release
I'm interested in checking out your ROM. I'm using the MikROM right now, but I like to keep checking out other ROM's. I like how you are actually working on the phone even though a lot of people are going to the droids.

Re: Elite | *UPDATED TODAY!!!*~ Special Thanksgiving Release
2Bunny, the reason why the phone doesn't wake up when you pull out the stylus is because you are using the real wm6.5 aku, that's been an error for a long time now and hasn't been fixed, but it is worth using the aku because you don't have to recmod anything :p

Personally I wouldnt trust a ROM made by someone that makes a comment like this ..."It always has some problem with that ImplantXIP thing.". WHAT ?!?! You dont know what a XIP is, but you're releasing ROMs to the public ? Sigh.... :angry7: |

chef wars......
work together, its more productive. as to the xip, I found some tools tend to fail at times and I believe that was his issue. depending on what he had for a base rom, it could have been crashing. personally I havent been able to make roms with PRB or anything based on it, however I do just fine with buildOS or packagetools/buildOS |
