CDMA Touch Pro XIPs 20764 20771 20954 21015 21018 21028 21032 21109

It was from the start menu. I don't get why, I tried it three times.
Everything else seemed fime and speedy.
Same ROM with one addition and 3E is 100%

Don't fret it though I get strange issues and you have a trip to prep for.

OP updated with 21028 XIP, no encryption. Not tested yet, but should boot (anyone heard that before???) I say should because it is 20771 (known booting) with only MSXIPKernel modules replaced and relocated to the same addresses as 20771. No other changes (it's usually changes to the ROMHDR or .VM or DDI, NK or FLASHDRV that cause no-booters - none of that was touched).

If someone cooks with this and can report back, I'll update the status.

Now, who's got a good VGA 21028 SYS for me to play with?

It boots..
Check Your PM (:

Welcome back and THANKS!

the only odd thing was w/o encryption my SC card is now called internal storage vs storage card...

This stopped my UC from running...

[lllboredlll]

are you on 21028 sys?

i noticed that issue when i used someones reconstructed build... finally i just went and built my own from a dump
i just check and it's storage card with his xip.... i flashed it a few hours ago with the new one instead of mine



and once again FPOS superior job.... made a huge difference in my kitchen

most appreciated sir

Bored, before you go hunting down 20771 SYS...

21028 is DEFINITELY faster...

I wouldn't bother if you didn't start...

Hmmm, to 21028 or not. HTC has some new bling - the message enhancement, notification enhancement and context menu enhancement are all cool. Problem is they all come from WVGA devices (Topaz or Rhodium) - the images can be resized to VGA but things still don't seem quite ready for prime time. Oh, and they require 21xxx builds. So I'm on 20771 and was considering going to 21028 to try these out. Now you say it's faster - 20771 is pretty quick.

Bored - which dump did you use to build your 21028? I just rebuilt the Topaz dump and the SYS is a patched mix of 21017 - 20132. This is right out of the HTC ROM (I believe)...

Crap - off-topic in my own thread. I picked a bad day to stop taking 'shrooms...

Former,
i have tried 028 with your ROM and Bored kitchen and when i install some of my apps and go to Start->Programs their icons flicker like crazy.(only their icons), so i have reflashed to Bored 028. I am looking at the changes you'made in boot.rgu and comparing them to the dumped ROM and was wondering if you would be so kind and explain them. As a nooby i would appreciate it.
Thanks!!!

my shi7 keeps freezing entering the settings menu! i'm not sure what is causing this! i went back to a different sys build and AM trying again...

Sorry - trade secret. J/K...

1) Removed encrypting filter settings (meaning 723fb954-d931-4348-b672-82a188e587b5.rgu and boot_ms.rgu are no longer required and have been removed)

2) Removed IRDA protocol stack since there is no IR device in the CDMA Touch Pro

3) Set the File System Replication Filter (fsreplxfilt) as follows:
...Set the DoImmaculate flag - causes the OID mapping cache to be flushed at boot - prevents leftover stale entries.
...Set the OID cache size to 4096 entries

4) Removed all references to the relfsd (Release File System) - this file system is for development and is not (as far as I know) used by the OS

5) Instantiated CacheFilt.dll in the filters section on the SDMemory and FLASHDRV profiles. The way it was instantiated in boot.rgu it was being over-ridden by profile-level filter entries. IMHO, the default boot.rgu is NOT using the file cache filter. I also added the LockIOBuffers key - per MS, this key is required if using the file cache filter with the file system replication filter.

6) Removed MSFlash and CD profiles from file system since these do not exist in CDMA Touch Pro

7) Removed spy file system. This appears to be a leftover simple sample file system that MS provides developers.

FLASHDRV profile FATFS
... Disabled Autoscan in flags key (flags key shoud be deprecated but I kept it for backwards compatibility)
... Disabled Autoscan via new WM6 key
... Changed DataCacheSize from 2048 sectors to system-managed. This is the directory meta-data. Since most of the files on your system are in IMGFS, this will basically result in Windows deciding how much directory meta-data to cache, which will usually be all of it unless you have a ton of stuff installed (vs. cooked in).
... Changed FatCacheSize from 512 sectors to system-managed. Same comments as above apply.
... Set transaction bitmap cache size to system-managed (which should be the default if this key isn't specified) - so this may not represent a change.
... Enabled pre-loading of the FAT and transaction bitmap caches at boot time (slows boot but speeds up initial performance, no long-lasting performance impact). Not sure if this change is worth keeping.

9) Removed HTC Filter (no idea what it does and all builds I've done have worked fine without it)

10) Moved lsfilter from XIP to IMGFS (lsfilter is part of the LockStream Digital Rights Management solution HTC is using).

Note - I discovered that the Flags key under HKLM\Init\Bootvars is different. Not sure why - I didn't intentionally change this. I don't know what this value does. I can upload a new version with this changed back and you can try it.

What Pagepool size are you using?
