Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) Bugs/Patches

[Kolano]

This is the bug collection thread for the Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) kitchen. I'll gather bugs into this first message, so folks don't need to poke all over to find them. Please note that this thread is for bugs occurring in the ROMs produced via the kitchen, the file contents of it's OEM packages, or problems with their configuration or interaction. Bugs related to BuildOS,the tool used to compile/flash the ROM images, should be posted to it's bug thread.

If you have bug let us know. Please...
Be specific.
Please provide steps to reproduce, including details of any kitchen customizations you have made.
Post your "Apache_Helmi_WM6 Selections.txt" file so your exact BuildOS selections can be replicated.

Unconfirmed Bugs

• SD-Card Transfer Speed?
  The transfer speed to SD-Cards may be lower than expected. This issue is currently being researched.
• Simple PIN Locks Up Phone?

  The strange thing I have noticed is that if you enter your pin and hit the Unlock button it appears to just be hung, but if you leave it for like 30 to 45 seconds it finally responds..
  
  Soft reset your device while it is enabled.. then let the password screen fully load. I tested it by just setting the password. It happens nearly every time after a soft reset, and randomly when the device is put to sleep.

• Changing network service locks up phone?

If I have one of the task managers on the top bar (HTC) then it locks up the device. I have to either hard reset it and then remove the task manager and put it back or leave it off. If I do remove it and put it back its fine after this and no longer locks up

Confirmed Bugs

  I'm running on Vista x64, if that makes any difference

  Also if you load it with just the Config.txt as an argument it works fine. but errors as soon as you try to open the Selection.txt
  
  The Error Occurs once you add in the KitchenDir=Apache_Helmi_WM6\Apache_Helmi_WM6.rar: Line to the Selections.txt

  An issue currently version prevents the startup of the BuildOS tool in x64 environments (both XP and Vista). This issue is currently being researched.

• Vogue Dialer OEM Causes Dialer to Popup on Application Close
  

  I have the HTC Vogue dialer and a fairly basic ROM installed from the kitchen. As I was setting up everything it seems the screen kept returning to the dialer view (sometimes the keypad and other times the in call screen).

• Cannot find PPCGEEKS_OEM.rar build error

  To avoid this choose one of the following solutions:
  • Download the PPCGEEKS_OEM.rar file and place in in the root of your kitchen. This will also add a large set of default OEM packages to the Kitchen.
  • Comment out the following line in "Apache_Helmi_WM6 Selections.txt"...
    

    ModuleDir=PPCGeeks_OEM.rar:

    ...by adding a semi-colon to it's start...
    

    ;ModuleDir=PPCGeeks_OEM.rar:

  • Download NoOEM.rar , extract it to the root of the kitchen, and re-run createshortcuts.bat.
• O2 Plus cannot be deselected

  Press and hold (4) assigned to Comm Mgr.

Update Requests

• Update SPB Pocket Plus OEM (to 4.01)
• Update WKtask OEM
• Update S2U2 OEM
• Add a prj file for Reliance

• Remove excess files and correct mispelling

  Line 152 of initflashfiles.dat in OEM_Lang_0409 "; put the OLD inbox to the program floder (temporary)"

• Add Missing Quickmenu icon
  No icon is created by the Quickmenu OEM. Since it's possible to close Quickmenu fairly easily, having an icon to restart it is a big help.
• Indicate Trial OEMs

When trying to build the rom I get an error that it cannot find PPCGEEKS_OEM.rar. Do I absolutley need this file to create my own ROM? If not how do I get around this?

Thank you,

Thank you,

Just hit ok... You do not absolutly need it, although i highly recommend it. It has some nice oems...all tested with kitchen..

[luv2chill]

The kitchen itself no longer contains anything "extra"--so it's just the stock stuff plus a handful of other things (the carrier customization packages, for one). You can bypass the message about missing ppcgeeks_oem.rar just fine, but you'll notice the list of OEMs is quite short.

I recommend adding the ppcgeeks_oem.rar file to the root of the kitchen (note: don't unrar it!) and re-run buildos... you'll notice a lot of new items to choose from.

[scotbotmosh]

It seems I can't even create a rom with out it, unless I am doing something wrong. See the error message below

[lennysh]

From here on out, it would help out alot if you have an issue, save your selections to a txt file, and post that file with your post in this thread, so that we may see exactly what was installed so we can better help replicate/solve the issue you are having.

Also, on the lil window that pop's up during the build, you can also save that to a txt file. That would also help us see exactly what happened during the build.

We are aware of this issue now, and are going to post a fix here shortly..

[scotbotmosh]

Good choice. I knew you would not be dissappointed..

[gguruusa]

Here's a solution, if you don't want to download PPCGeeks_OEM.rar.

Download the attached NoOEM.zip,
extract to your installation directory (it may ask you about overwriting files...click yes/ok).
Run createshortcuts.bat in your install directory.
Use the NoOEM shortcut on your desktop to start BuildOS without PPCGeeks_OEM.rar
