Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaberation
 

No biggie - just trying to be helpful! :)

Thanks again for stepping up here!!!

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaberation
 

aaaa no prob man.. this was what i was looking forward to but never did it... about to put together the good ole FAQ tonight while i watch my thunder take game 2 from the lake show...

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

I throw in my 2 cents worth and say that it's time to move on from Calk's thread. It would be different if he was still communicating with us, but he isn't. Let's go forward from now on.

Also, has anyone ever thought about porting the 2.1 internet tab to 2.5. I've got a mod that makes the 2.1 tab much better and waaaaayyyy less of a resource hog than the 2.5 tab.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Yo, there seems to be a problem with 23563/62 and the date picker. Surprised no one has caught it; regardless, new 23563 has been uploaded with the fix. Thanks to the cats at xda!

To stem off a major download, just replace this file in your SYS/23563/SHARED/COMMON/OS folder!

Later,

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

1. I agree. That thread does have a wealth of knowledge but i think we need to move it forward....

2. I have been hearing about the attempts to port 2.1 internet tab. i am willing to take a stab at it....


off topic question: so how long does it take for you to cook a rom?

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Yes, I agree... Calkulin has left the building. Let him go. I found myself following the same type of conversion in his thread and this one today. It is time to let it float to the bottom. There is no need to let this and his occupy front page space and take away realestate from aspiring noob roms...

But on a side note, what mod? All I've got is this one that gives the tab 3 across instead of just two.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Why don't we make an "official" post in Calk's thread for everyone stating that we are over here now? If we keep working both threads, we will just have twice as much too keep up with. I will post in Calk's thread shortly that my updates will be in this thread from now on out. I will still browse the thread to help out, but i will try to shift traffic here.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Spoken so eloquently, except for the fact that you are the Don of the RSTF Mafia... "float to the bottom" translation "sleep with the fishes"!! I'm on to you RSTG...:) lol.

edit: oh and I agree!

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

How about the OP link his thread for reference only. It will be outdate soon if everyone shifts traffic here. :)

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

I will be doing that...

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaberation
 

killer post, trying a lot of it out now.

Thanks!

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Could someone explain how to change the start menu icons when creating a rom?

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

this is what I use, it is post flash, but very effective and only takes a couple of minutes (though I wouldn't mind being able to change the icons too, just I think you have to change a .dll file and I don't know how to do that yet).
there is a readme that explains how it works in the cab that you can look at and here are some places to get icons:

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

here is a good tutorial on how to change the locations, order, and icon for everything in the ROM

I store references here that I need from time to time. I add new links as I find them.


Kitchen Basics - Tutorial
1. Click the drop-down box labeled "Device" and select "TOUCH_PRO2"(Even though Touch Pro2 is already selected, select it again).
2. Click the drop-down box labeled "EXT Build" and select what type of ROM you want(6.1, 6.5, 6.5.x).
3. Click the drop-down box labeled "XIP Build" and select a XIP version
Build branches are implement
BuildsBranches -
2105x = 6.1
216xx = 6.5.x - HTC
217xx = 6.5.0.1 thru 6.5.0.4
218xx = 6.5 - COM2 - GUI This is the only official WM6.5 released to public.
219xx = 6.5 – COM1 & contuned COM2 - MD1
220xx = 6.5.x - SONY Ericsson
230xx = 6.5.x – COM3
231XX = 6.5x - Com3.2 threaded email
234xx = 6.5 Comm 4 Appears to be abandoned
235xx = 6.5.x - COM5 - new outlook interface - threaded email
236xx = 6.5.x - LG Electronics threaded email
282xx = 6.5.3 - WMD

4. Click the drop-down box labeled "SYS Build" and select a matching build to the "XIP Build".
5. Make sure you check the "Real WM 6.5 AKU" Box.
6. Scroll down to the section labeled
"TOUCH_PRO2-Device: Packages"
"COMMON: Packages"
"SHARED-Devices: Packages"
and choose what you want to include & exclude what you dont in your ROM .
7. After you have added in or removed what you want in your ROM, click the "Create ROM" button, which won’t be grayed out now.
8. When the Rom is finished cooking Multiplatform PagePool changer will appear. Click on Select and chose to only file there. Then Custom defaults to 6. Change that number to 0. Next hit “Change to” and “Close”. That is a dynamic setting. (Auto if you will).
9. Your ROM should build properly, and you can now flash it to your device.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

so this is the new thread for the be all end all tp2 kitchen discussion thats super. anyway since the other thread was closed i figured id post here.

I had a problem with the sense music tab not playing music or playing and freezing after a couple of seconds. i thought it was the system i was using but further investigation shows its a/the program that auto searches and looks for album art or new library changes. any way to just disable this through the registry or is this one of those enigmas that hasn't been answered yet.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

that seems pretty simple explained that way. anyone know the location for the games and tools folder icons so I can delete them?

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Don't forgot about 231XX = Com3.2 & 219XX is now the continuation of Com2.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

I created another package that will overwrite all of those folder icons and any other icon. That way I didn't have to hunt them all down and replace them individually. It also makes it easier if i want to change my icon theme too. As for what names to use, go into the registry and look for
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
That's where everything on your start menu gets its icons. For each lnk or folder, there's an icon value. So the games folder icon is named Start_Icon_Games.png

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

For those of you using 6.5.x, I came across a program the other day called Ameba that allows you to change the behavior of the X and start menu buttons. You can set it so a short/long press of the X actually closes a program as opposed to just throwing it in the background. There are other settings as well. I did see it mentioned a long while ago in Calkulin's thread(I wish it wasn't locked) but figured I throw it out here again, as it seems to be working extremly well.

Here's the thread at XDA(I'd attach the program but I can't upload from work)...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583002

The only thing I had to do was to throw Arkswitch into the exceptions list so it wouldn't close that program on pressing the X.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

i am not sure about the folder icon, but the icon for games is in the SYS and the file is Start_Icon_Games.png

if you rename the .png file you want to use as the games folder to that it will overwrite it when cooking and you will have your new games folder.

In fact you can just rename all of the SYS icons to Start_Icon_xxx.png "xxx is the name of the program/file" and it will overwrite them during the cooking process saving you the time for typing out the registry entry.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

I can't believe I am only the 7th person to give thanks. This kitchen is fantastic. I am still new to the TP2 game but this kitchen it great.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Here's...

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

I am working with a verzion dump but I have two things I need help with.

1 - the EPST code don't work in the dailer...how to fix?

2 - how to disable the wm lock screen? I want it just like Calk did his kitchen/rom's. I just wanna wake the phone up not wake the phone and then unlock it.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

welrope... after running 21648 last night, i cannot open any of my emails... the other sys have no problems... Has anyone else seen this?

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

i switched back to 21648 yesterday as well. I use exchange and i do not have this problem. I will set up an imap account as well to double check. I am having the same ole issues with sms, but i think it is arcsoft.. but no, i have no issues opening my email. Sounds like an issue with Manila, there are some reg entry's in there to define what opens and reply's to email. I will hunt it up for you to check vs what you have.

Check this reg entry..
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\Note]
"Compose"="\\Windows\\HTC_compose_note.0409.ht m"
"Read"="\\Windows\\HTC_read_note.htm

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

It turns out for some reason all of the sudden LZX compression is breaking my You Tube. My laptop is finally getting a break.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Yeah!!!! Glad you fixed it bro!

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Thanks. TMartin your help has been invaluable to me and all of us I'm sure. I dont know if all you gurus understand your impact around here. You guys help, noobs and all. Unlike some threads. Thank you all.
Can you confrim 230xx is COM3.3
Do you know of a simple way to explain what COM means and why that is important?

I hated to see the old thread go. I've been hanging onto the idea of a new kitchen from Caulklin. WE need a guide to getting our kitchen updated. What works and what doesnt. I cant even find a sprint dump anymore.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Its been 24 hours of he11 couldn't sleep, eat, chest felt tight.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Yeah, meth is a real toughy!

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

very weird, but all of the sys that has threaded email is giving me that problem.... my 21901 rom is racing like a champ but all the others with threaded wont let me open my email...

let me cook another and check out that reg edit...

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

I knew it a month ago, but now that I changed kitchens I have forgotten. Where is the file I edit so MY name shows up in the RUU instead of Calkulin's?

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

OEM Version.. edit the rgu file with notepad...

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

I think 230xx was just the start of com3. The early builds had the start menu up top like com2. I think anything after 23017 had the start menu on the bottom.

The only way I could explain the different branches is some are built by different departments & companies. They use branches to implement different things ie some for stability, some for trying new things, etc.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

in the ruu, it is just changing the name of the rom at the top of the kitchen. If you want it to show up as yours in the settings/system/about/
then edit the .rgu in this folder
OEM\Touch_Pro2\Common\OEMVERSION\

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

ok noob question of the day..... Want to cook my ringtone settings in... how do i do it?!?!?!?

and i need to hire a photoshop guy to hook me up with another splash screen (i dont have the patience with photoshop on my slow a$$ computer anymore) any takers?!?!?!?

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Breaking it how? I've been having troubles with YouTube constantly buffering about every 5-10 secs. Is that the prob? If so, I would love to know. Thanks.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

You could just save the reg file and put it in XDA_UC.

Re: [Kitchen] WVGA Touch Pro 2 Collaboration
 

Have you tried OEMizer?

I used to use this for all my email, and personal settings.
