[05.14.09] dB_ROM WM 6.5 21501,21502,21222,21231 ROMs/Kitchen TouchPro [Multi-ROMs]
 

This is a port of the excellent Da_G Fuze (GSM) Kitchen. It has been fully modified to work on all CDMA Touch Pro's. I personally have a Sprint Touch Pro.

Da_G has been gracious enough to consider this the "CDMA Version" of his very popular kitchen. Without his help over the past two weeks, I would have never been able to get the new Bepe (Ervius) style kitchen working. I also received a lot of initial help from MightyMike. His kitchens and personal OEMs are what got me started. So, here are the usual "thank you's":

Da_G (XDA), MightyMike, Bepe (XDA), Ervius (XDA), Dan-HTC-Touch, Tsowen (XDA), Showaco (XDA), TPlane37 (XDA), Calkulin (XDA)

If I have forgotten to mention you in the above list, don't worry, I didn't forget about you. (Wait, yes I did.) But, please send me a message so I can add you to the list!

This IS NOT my first relase of this kitchen/ROM. This is simply my first release of it on PPCGeeks. You can check the history of dB_ROM at my XDA Thread. Read through the posts there, you will see it's one of the best around. I finally posted this here because the GSM Raphael rules XDA. I was the first to launch a CDMA Kitchen for it there. That shows you how few people actually talk about the CDMA TP there. So, I would like to maintain both threads. Please help me in doing so. Thanks!

SYS: Da_G
XIP: Da_G
OEMs: MightyMike, Da_G, Tsowen (Taskbar), Showaco (Titanium Weather), Me

Stable enough for every day use? Well, I am :D (Yes, I stole this from Da_G, BUT, I REALLY AM USING IT DAILY!)

Step 7. Hard Reset. (Start->Settings->System->Clear Memory)

Step 8. Wait for entire Windows Mobile customization process to complete and phone to soft-reset.

Step 9. Job done!

Instructions for new style kitchen (build 21501 and above)

Step 1. Extract to a clean folder

Step 2. Run erviuskitchen.exe

Step 3. Click &quot;load rom&quot;

Step 4. Choose &quot;dB_ROM-21501&quot;

Step 5. Scroll down to section labelled &quot;HERMAN-Device: HERMAN_External_Packages&quot; in blue text

Step 6. Double click packages here to enable or disable them (first column reads True for enabled, False for disabled) (Leave alone for Defaults)

Step 10. ROM is available in .nbh form in kitchen folder \HERMAN_RELEASE, you can either flash it with the included RUU.exe or rename to RAPHIMG.NBH and place on fat32 formatted SD card, for SD flash

General Notes for ROM and Kitchen

• Always hard reset after initial flash. (I always wait till Autorun/SDAutorun complete and device soft resets)
• Soft reset after hard reset doesn't hurt anything. (Comes from my old Titan days)
• Don't worry about all the &quot;Overwriting...&quot; in the kitchen build process. It's normal and expected.
• DO NOT use XIP 21502 in Kitchen. It's broken. I know what it is, but there is no change from the 21501 XIP, so just use it.
• Report all bugs, etc here. Da_G and I have worked hard to make this as bug free as possible, but, Shhhtuff happens.
• If you are run Windows Vista or 7 and use the Kitchen, you must Right-Click ErviusKitchen.exe and select &quot;Run as Administrator...&quot;
• Don't blame me if you brick your device. It's not my, or the kitchens, fault. You recognize the potential problems that can arise from flashing your own ROMs on your phone. Da_G and I will take no responsibility. &quot;Use at your own risk.&quot;
• All that being said, I have had no issues during flash processes. I use this as my daily phone and have no ill side effects.

Before you Begin
If you have never flashed a ROM before, PLEASE read the information posted by jakdillard in the sticky thread of this forum. You must first unlock your SPL and learn how to flash. All the information on doing this has been gathered and placed in a easy to follow step-by-step guide in the thread. Here is the direct link.

How To Create EXT Packages for New Style Kitchen:

1. Download the EXT_Package_Tools.zip below and extract the two exe files inside to the <TOOLS> folder of the Kitchen.
2. If you have a cab, run Cab2OEM.exe on it first. Otherwise, goto step 3.
3. Run EXT_Packages_Rebuilder.exe on the OEM Package directory.
4. Place the resulting folder in the <EXT\Herman\Common\*> Directory it belongs in.

Example:
Open two explorer windows. Have one window open to the <TOOLS> directory of the Kitchen. Have the other window opened to the directory containing your CAB or Original OEM Package.

Now, if its a CAB, drag the CAB file and drop it on top of Cab2OEM.exe. This will open a command prompt and close it. You should now have a folder in the Explorer window containing the CAB file.

Make sure the folder contains all the files, including the *.rgu file, etc. Now Take that entire folder and drop it on top of EXT_Packages_Builder.exe (Drag the Folder, not the files inside, but the ROOT folder). This should restructure the Folder created in step 2 to have a <files> folder inside of it that contains all the files for the Package, including any .provxmls. There will also be an <app.dat> and <app.reg> file (if applicable). The <app.dat> is the old "initflashfiles.txt". The <app.reg> is the old "*.rgu".

Now check the reg file and make sure it looks setup properly. Cab2OEM.exe likes to bork registry files sometimes. So I would look over this carefully. After you're sure its good, move the folder to the appropriate area in <EXT\Herman\COMMON>. Load up your fav ROM pref from my Kitchen. Scroll down to your package and make sure its "TRUE". Cook and be done.

EXT Package Folder Structure:
<Root Folder> - Name of Package
--<files> - Folder that contains all files that will be installed to \Windows
--<app.dat> - The old <initflashfiles.dat>, contains instructions to copy files, etc.
--<app.reg> - Contains all registry entries for the Package.

Reserved for the first Keg party. All people who donate will be invited! I will have to have Chips to go with that Keg.. So I will hold this place for them.. I might even hang invite some dancers to join in the fun. They will want a changing room, so this will be for them....

Wow this looks good!

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

It IS as good as it looks. Check out my thread over at XDA. It speaks for itself. I want to mention that the screenshots above ARE FROM 21502. Yes, this means Youtube, Opera, etc are fully operational. Just FYI!

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Thank you! Downloading now! I'm going to try out the basic 21502 ROM first, but I might try the kitchen tomorrow afternoon :)

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Tin-Fo! That barebones is EXTREMELY bare. I mean EXTREMELY. All it really has is my tweaks to make it more stable, the 21502 SYS and the priority/required drivers/apps to make the phone work right. Other than that, its ugly and bare. ;)

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Thx, trying kitchen now! Any known bugs? Im using the 21502 kitchen.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

I click on the ervious kitchen and it says this software required administrative privlidges to run??? Help??

EDIT: Nevermind, got it.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

No, not yet. I have fixed the ones from 21501. There were some issues in it with Sounds & Notifications going bad, but I am "pretty sure" i found the problem with them. I am still doing full testing on it, but as of yet, that problem hasn't come back.

The usual phone dialer/canvas highlight error on the 4th d-pad down is still there. That is a problem with 6.5 in general right now.

Don't rely on the built in alarm clock. It doesn't sound the "alarm" sound you set. This is just like every other CDMA 6.5 build out there. We have yet to find the cause of this. The GSM folk have no problems. I am still researching it.

Other than that, should be all clean.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

LOL. Yeah. This is all part of Win Vista/7. It wants you to elevate the privelages for ErviusKitchen. Just Right-Click on it and "Run as Administrator...".

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Ok im following the directions but the one thing I DIDNT do is extract to a clean folder, is this a must? Cuz after I press load rom you say to click on that file but I cant find the file that it says in the directions.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Ya thats what I did,LOL. Im redownloading the kitchen now, gonna try one more time if njot which rom do you recommend? I like the more the better. What is your suggestion? Im going to add the rhodium manila also

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

If you want to go with Rhodium Manila (I would not recommend this ATM because of the unstable nature of the XBMod port), I would go with one of the No_Manila ROMS. I would say the "No_Manila-All_CDMA_Carriers". It will have everything except Manila, Sprint Nav, Sprint TV.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

OK cool. I cant get this kitchen to work, that file you say that suppose to pop up when you click load rom doesnt show up.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Yea, I figured that out after I downloaded the kitchen myself. I have fixed the link to the correct kitchen AND added a ZIP file to post #2. This zip file you need to extract to your <TOOLS\RomSaved> dir. Then those files will be there when you click Load ROM.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Thank You Thank You Thank You!

I have been waiting for a kitchen for this build for a couple days now. I will be downloading this as soon as I get home from work in the morning. :drunken:

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Thanks! Going to try the no Manila ROM :)

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

thank for the kitchen, but i cant get it cooking.. i get an error "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Then i click "Continue". The Kitchen goes ahead and show "Preparing ROM to be builded..." BUT nothing happens..

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Which file are you trying during "Load ROM"?

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Thanks for posting decible - Downloading right now. =D&gt;

It looks really good!!

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

im using the kitchen, and im loading the "FULL - All CDMA"

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Ok. Try this:

1. Open ErviusKitchen.exe
2. Select the "Herman" drop down list and select "Herman". (Yes, I know. Do it.)
3. Select the EXT drop-down and select "21502".
4. Select the SYS drop-down and select '21502".
5. Select the XIP drop-down and select "21501".
6. In the ROM name field, it says "2.0.0.0" or whatever, change that to "dB_ROM-21502".
7. Under "Hide" on the left (by Load/save/create) click "XIP", "SYS" and "OEM".
8. Now in the Packages list (big part of the screen), go through there and set everything to "TRUE" that has a Green Check Mark on my version list image in first post. Set everything to "FALSE" that has a Red X. (It's the First COLUMN in ErviusKitchen that will change to FALSE or TRUE, NOT the ones to the right).
9. After you have all the packages set properly, click "BUILD ROM".

in EI going to certain sites closes EI

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Just finished flashing!

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Can you give me examples? Do they happen to be Flash happy? Thanks!

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

It looks like the "Ringtone is currupt" error is still around. It's not nearly as bad as it was, but it still occurs. I have narrowed it down to when this happens, the Text Messaging notification sound stops playing, as well as all other notifications that use WMA tones. If I go into Rings & Notifs and select say "Messaging: New Text Message" and start selecting the different tones avail and hit "play", only the WAV's will play. The WMA's will just be silent. Then I tap the good old "OK" and it gives the "Ringtone is Corrupt" message. So it has to be something with WMA processing. The Really ODD part is the WMA Ringtone plays all the time, just fine, regardless. It is making me want to pull my hair out.

I have discussed this in detail with Da_G and we have tried yet another fix. I will let you know the results as soon as I know them. (I have to wait for the error to come around, if its going to.) In this case, no news is good news. :D

Thanks for hanging in there with me! Hope you all are enjoying the ROM!

Update (21:41 CDT 5/4/2009): So far so good. Notifications are still firing and no errors leaving Sounds & Notifications..... More to come.
Update (00:38 CDT 5/5/2009): Still going strong. Sent over 50 text messages in past 3 hours as well as made and received several phone calls. Notifications still going strong (texts coming in like crazy) and I can go play around in Sounds & Notifications without issue... I'll post more in the morning.
Update (19:35 CDT 5/5/2009): Ok. It finally returned. I have tried everything to fix it in this build. I am tired of having to wait so long for the error to arrive. I have decided to abandon 21502 for now and move on to 21222. I have heard this fixes this error. If it does, then the MediaOS folder will be to blame and I will be able to patch the 21502 to match. Let's hope!!

i just flashed ur sprint rom. things are ok but it seems to be heating up my touch up quite quickly.

i did find several bugs. my contacts list scrollbar is pushed slightly off to the right. also, scrolling down causes several graphics glitches with text overlapping.

my email provisioning went fine as well as importing my pim and email. however, upon trying to actually open an email no luck. it simply doesnt update the gui to show the email. it does mark the email as read however. i think there is something wrong with the drivers.

pressing certain keys on the hardware board brings up the incorrect character and or shortcut. one key takes me to home. txt key takes me to calendar...

good work

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Normal for first flash. A lot is going on right off the bat. Flash, initial provisioning of all OS and filesystems, setting up all your stuff, then a hard reset (because its required on all rom flashing), and second setup of everything, then finally, I usually soft reset for good measure. All this makes the phones processor go loko. I would heat up too.
Known issue with WinMo 6.5. ALL 6.5 builds (and I mean EVERY ONE OF THEM) is like this. It's call the "4th down error" in my book. It starts highlighting everything starting with the 4th one down. This is also linked to the scrollbar being somewhat visible. No one has found a fix for this yet. HINT: Press contacts (lower left) to get to your contacts instead of scrolling down.
Dude, I will refrain from commenting on the "drivers" thing. This is not a drivers issue. Are you talking about while inside of outlook, from titanium Email plugin, from Manila email tab? Where are you trying to "open" the email? I have a very large exchange email box where I get an email about once every 15 to 20 mins. I have never had an issue opening one.
I need specific key press combo's and their results. I can't test the issue if I don't know how to reproduce it.

Thanks for all the feedback though! I appreciate it and will continue searching for the pesky fixes.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

Working great for me so far. I might be 4hrs. in but haven't experienced any issues at all. Really pleased with this roms features like the album, menu pop-ups, and the speed of this rom so far. Great work!

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

I did a rom in your kitchen today and so far it is sweet. This is definitely the kitchen to cook a 6.5 for daily drivving. Man I have more memory, the battery life seems excellent. Love it! When do you think we will be able to do a 21502 rom in this kitchen? Also how can I add my own splashscreen change the id on the rom so it reads sometthing more personal to the cook instead of just like 1.03 ?Great job!!

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

I was about to cook a ROM to fix some things, Mainly add the HTC dialer, I'm gonna give this a try.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

It is 21502 in the kitchen. It says "5.2.21501 (Build 21502 dB)" on the about screen because of the 21501 XIP being used. I am going to fix the 21502 XIP tonight and upload it as an "Addon" package for the kitchen. You'll just extract it to the directories relative to root and you'll be able to cook in a true 21502 XIP giving you the 5.2.21502 number. However, this will change the functionality in absolutely no way.

As far as the ID?? You talking about the RUU Flash ID? The Build ID on the About screen (See above)? Depends on what you want as to where to change it.

As far as splashscreens, that is not available in ErviusKitchen. If we want to put splashscreens in, we will have to do them seperately or wait for Ervius to support it in xip payload. I will look into a little more and see if we can pull it off via a seperate batch job before final NBH build. I'll let you know.

Re: [ROM][WWE][05.04.09]WM 6.5 21502 ROM / Kitchen for TouchPro [Multi-ROM Builds] [C
 

My 21501 build didn't have this problem. I will confirm this tomorrow by flashing back temporarily.

Pertaining to the email issue, I think I have it figured out as to what is causing it. All of the email that I imported back in using PIM behaves in the manner I described. Any new mail behaves properly. I'm gonna have to try a couple of things to see what's causing this.

'1' - start
'2' - @
'3' - !
'4' - (
'5' - )

the list goes on...

I have seen this behavior before when a SIP gets installed while SIPGT is still running. This is probably what happened here. Anyone know how to get around this after the hard reset.

While in a call the menu button brings up a RECORD and a START RECORDING option. I see that START RECORDING is linked to in call recorder and that RECORD just writes files that you can access via WMP. Is this supposed to be like this? I've never used ICR so I was just wondering.

SprintTV gives the 7004 error.

Google Maps should be on your programs list since it installed during initial hard reset.

Thanks again!

I would be interested to know this for fact. What ROM is it and what PhoneCanvas/Skin are you using?
That would explain why I never have that problem.
All my keys work properly. Are you installing your own SIP?
Yes and yes. I have both the built in call recording turned on AND ICR. I am testing them both to decide which is better. BOTH create files that are playable in WMP. One is stored in <My Documents\Recording> the other in <My Documents\Notes>.
Odd, this worked in 21501. Sigh. Yet another thing 21502 decided to break. I'll get on this soon. I wonder if calk's fix would work for this one.. hmm.. Oh well, a proper fix would be better. I'll get it tomorrow.
Good Call. I'll add that tomorrow too. Thanks!
