Thats why I am here!


Hey did anyone notice my new SIg block? I made it form a special transperancy that phattoth gave me.... I then just imported it into Adobe fireworks and started pressing all these shapes on the right had side of the screen.
I was like WHOA!

EDIT: Sorry I was looking at one post and responding to another.....

OEM i guess could be called extracted cabs. I prefer to call them what they are, OEM packages. OEM's for short. But yeah, thats pretty much what they are. Extracted cabs.

As far as a wiki, I will elt someone else do that... I have not had those things bookmarked in years.... sorry ;c(

Someone will be along shortly to help.....

How can I modify the menu that appears in the buildOS phase of your kitchen?

If I wanted to modify other things like default windows settings, is it just a matter of finding and modifying the right text file somewhere in the kitchen?

What are you talking about when you say Modify the menu?

No kitchens are not built of texct files.... They are built of RGU's XML's and PROVXMLS (which are just XML's) but they can be READ in a text editor. So yeah, your right, but no, your wrong. Ahahaha

Did I confuse or make better?

But here do this...

VOL DOWN - POWER - RESET HOLE = Boot lodaer
CENTER DPAD DOWN - RESET HOLE for THIRTY SECONDS (30 seconds) = hard reset

The hard reset is VERY VERY tricky. Sopme even say its easier with the phone in the off mode so pull battery and then put it back in. Then hold center pad and reset.



BTW: Being stuck on boot screen just means a corrupt registery or a bad driver NOTHING to freak about... AT ALL! Trust me... Just relax or you will loose focus and get more fustrated. Im her eto help and wills can board every thirty seconds or you can PM me.

Freak out when you put the batter y in and nothing at all happens and you know its charged. Thats when you freak!

cool. thanks. ard reset is not working. i am now stuck at the rainbow bootloader. i am never presented with the hard reset option. i will try to put an image on the sd card and try that.

No
Wast of time.....

Just flash again now...

When you flash originally from phone in A/S mode it just needs A/S to get to bootloader. Make sense? Once you get to the tricolor screen you can connect to USB and flash without issue. Doing this method also custs about 30 seconds off flashing time.

Yeah, I know.. Not a big deal to you but I flash anywhere from 3 to 10 times in a day every day..... 30 seconds adds up ;c)


Im going to make a video one day of hard rest htingy.... It works but you have to practice. The DPAD is bidirectional up and down.... Menainig I think it has two phases so you kinda have to press a bit harder than normal.. Sound crazy? I think so too but I know it works ;c)

I'm doing a hard reset after every flash anyway.... but then again, maybe this is why i never see these things... so yeah, i would say add it.
it takes what, an extera 3-5 min? easily worth it.

Gonna do it now....

Done son!

Added the buit about hard flash near download links... Not that anyone one will look..... Everyone using my ROM knows my website by now!

Emphasised the features of SSK Online in larger font and moved it to a more conspicous location.

When buildOS launches I want to add more apps to the list of whats going to go into the ROM.


right, so say for example the default font size in the screen settings. If I want that to default to another setting, I would have to find and modify a file somewhere in the kitchen ... or are some windows settings built/compiled into the base CE OS

Could I also modify windows settings by having registry values written/changed during the first boot customizations process?

flashing now. you are correct sir. not that i doubted you but i would like to confirm for anyone else in a similar place that indeed you can flash from this seemingly not so good scenario.

the phone is now flashed and is going through proper boot to setup.

so i should hard reset again? after all the customizations have run and the phone is in a ready state?

TO be hones with you the last idea you have is th best.

This kitchen was desinged for ease ofuse for the average user. They are loving it. What you want is something a bit more "powerful" and of course "complicated." Its all prespective though!

I would recomend you just make a cab of the edits and include that in the SD AutoRUN.

MUCH MUCH MUCH simplier... Along the lines of what i was trying to do...

SSK Stands for Scott's Simple Kitchen


You also shoud google up some terminology... I will get you some links...

But the bUild OS screen youa re reffering to is called the Selection Screen. You want to add more selctions, right? More games, more utilties, etc, right? This kitchen ius configurable to that. Just drop in an OEM to the OEM folder.

On the same note... If there is sometjhing you want from the PPCK, lets say oh,,, hell, I dont know... WidgetX.... Then you can find the widgetX OEM in the PPCK OEM RAR file, grab itout and drop it in my OEM folder and it will show up.

Does that make sense?
