I had EXACTLY the same issue as OMJ using calks kitchen as a base, so it has nothing to do with the kitchen but the files EVERYONE was using. In fact I fixed the issue by using a bunch OMJ's kitchen files after he had done the legwork to figure out the issue.

So please go sit in a corner and leave those putting hours of work for FREE alone. OMJ doesn't even accept donations!!! I have ton's of respect for OMJ because of this, he is one of the few in which this is the case.

I'm not knocking Calk's work, he was in my opinion one of the great influences here at PPCgeeks and for CDMA devices in general, but Calk now has a TP2, so consider yourself lucky that someone has been kind enough to come and fill the void, and for absolutely nothing at that...

Can I use this kitchen to build a Titanium ONLY ROM? If so, do I just eliminate all the Sense options?

I'm finding a few issues with Sense that are making it difficult to use as an everyday "working" OS. (Main issue is that when I open an appointment, I can't see the notes that are included. I also don't like the non-touch-friendly notifications for missed calls & voicemail.)
These issues aren't huge, but I'm going to be dropping my landline and going entirely mobile in the next week and I need something that is more reliable and usable.

Ok, looking for a little help. I was in a hurry last night and cooked a rom on the fly without testing it before i left the house. I cooked a 6.1 Sense 2.5 rom and all is running well except for the Dialer. The keyboard is way off line and when i hit the phone softkey, the dialer comes up but the slider for manila is covering up the bottom and the numbers are all out of whack. Keep in mind, i just cooked the Rhodium dialer from the kitchen in to the rom. All im looking for is an updated Tachi or Rhodium dialer that is in cab form since im stuck at work without the ability to flash. Thanks

Also, has anyone noticed while cooking or using OMJs roms, when you go to settings and select device information icon, it doesnt give all of the info. Normally it would show what prl currently being used. This isnt showing anymore.

How are you viewing it? From the about page in manila? Because I am using the device info from the latest LEO dump and it doesnt seem distorted or anything and I'm pretty sure I get all the values.. (or does OMJ not use this and just lets the stock device info run?)

edit: ahhh nvm I see now..

Yeah, only my dialer looks crapped out. The device info just isnt coming up fully.

Still searching for a dialer replacement. I found one but keeps saying it couldnt install successfully.

Replacing a dialer is not something that be done with a cab.
We used to be able to skin them on the fly, but I haven't even been able to do that since WM6.0.

Yes, I am using the Sprint pkg. I have even named my file Mighty.jpg and replaced the other one,and it won't load. Here is what I have

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeBackgroundPath"=\\Windows\\Mighty.jpg

How to cook custom background wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 ( Home Screen )

1. First rename your image file ( PNG or JPG, Not sure about other formats ) to HomeBackground.img*.
2. Create a CAB file ( Using any of your fav SW, i.e WinCE CAB Manager ).
3. Place this .img file into the CAB. Location should be \Windows.
4. Open Notepad and copy the reg entries written below :

5. Paste into the Notepad file.
6. Edit the image paths to your image located. I.e CachedBackgroundPath, HomeBackgroundPath and FilePath. The HomeBackground.img and this image should be same.
7. Save the Notepad file to 1.reg.
8. Import the 1.reg file into the CAB file and save it. ( If your CAB manager doesn't support importing reg file(s), try adding the reg entries manually )
9. At last use this cab file to your auto run or etc inwhich the cab should be installed while Manila 3D is running.

This big process is coz, these things should be changed/written while Manila 3D is running. If you do this into rgu and run Manila 3D later on, it doesn't read/change the background wallpaper. However, I have tried few hours playing with this and found the working way. If any of you can find still more simple way, that would be more then a great.

Note #1: The file extension should be correct. i.e reg.txt or img.png is wrong. Make sure about it!
Note #2: The Manila 3D should be loaded fully before the CAB ( via autorun ) installs. If it a lil difference, Manila 3D won't load the image. It is hard to setup but this is the only way! :(

Sorry for writing too lengthy and not so good language but I hope you can understand better :p

Thanks a lot to Amarullz!
Best Regards

B) It has something to do with 6.1. Those are the only 2 things i changed in my recent build. Anyone think it could be more one or the other that could have caused this? Thanks.

It's probably from wm 6.1. Most of the new stuff from HTC is using 6.5 now. You can cab install dialers as long as you kill some processes first (cprog.exe or something else...can't remember, but I'm sure you can find it in the xda vga tachi dialer thread).

Thanks,

I turn on phone - 39%, Open Opera, play with a little Kinoma - 45%, as the day goes on, little texting, some more opera, after about an hour or so - 52% and just stays there. It causes the phone to be a little more sluggish and Im afraid it is causing a decrease in battery life. I know that this happened a while back in one of Calks kitchens and he was able to do something to lower this. Just didnt know if anyone else has experienced this. Remember, I have used just about every current build out there with Sense 2.5, could this be a sense issue? Thanks.

is this version fully functional without the black part that shows up on the side while viewing pics?

no, it still has the black bar....it has to do w/ the screen size. someone @ xda said album.exe is hardcoded for 800x600 and needed to be hacked.

3.2 has it's pros/cons....it's really a toss up between 3.2 & 3.0

SKTools has a "lite" version, which is free. Included is FreeUP RAM and Auto Clean. They are very good at reclaiming ram, and clearing out notifications, old short cuts, and more. I have used them daily for a couple of years now.

There have been some nice looking Sense ROMs posted in OMJ's ROM thread- I resorted to making one with Calk's kitchen, but would really like some of the updates that are going to be showing up in the next update.
