Kitchen OEMs

I thought we should have a thread to keep people posted when we create new OEMs. I did one for piscelviewer (pdf viewer). Before I upload it to the FTP server, I just want to make sure that it is not considered a commercial app. Is it safe to upload?

Please do not upload that I have already been contactted once by pixels attorney and wouldn't like to hear from him again.

I'm in testing now of the SprintExRom OEM pack - it does all the needed sprint stuff the extended rom does, but nothing more (no goodlink, no junk) with the min amount of used storage space. So now, when you hard reset, you don't need an extended rom

It will move to the ftp site shortly.

I'm going to focus on OEM packs since (a) they take less time and (b) I kinda know what I am doing now and (c) other people are doing a bangup job on the kitchen core work.

First up, all the freeware *I* use... followed by requests for freeware other people use

For me, that's

(some of these exist already, I will make sure they're current revs)
mortscript,
mortplayer,
smartskey
TofClock TodayPlugin
TodayTime
BTAudioToday
WM5NewMenu
AM Tasks+ Today Plugin
Jimmy's GreenBatteryFix
Seligman's Launcher
Calendar+ Today Plug-in

That's the short list for now (and actually, other then mortplayer, all that is currently installed internally on mine, and I would love to free that space up!)

Also, I'll try and get some REG packs for common tweaks, that does not need to be in ROM...

Hmmmm, so I should probably take VC, Pocket Plus, Palm Threaded SMS, and Rescoe down to then right?

schettj,
I think there is already a WM5newmenu (This is in my kitchen) and a today time (v0.1.3) kitchen package. That might cut down on your work a little. there might be some others, but those are the ones i can think of.

Keep the OEMs coming!

**schettj** · #7 (**permalink**) 02-02-2007, 10:59 PM

yep, I was gonna find and upload the ones that already exist

no need to do em twice!

The SprintExtendedOEM has some isssues with the reg entries, but I got it to compile now. At first the createOS program got stuck on these keys when making the default.hv and user.hv:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\PhoneExt\DataFailCode]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\xyzfile\Shellex\ContextMenuHandl ers\{E88B4A18-6F77-4bb6-8E0D-DCD4B1F8F1DA}] (xyz cuz a diff on failed whenever i removed one)

The data fail code key just needed the special characters removed where it said "[Settings\PCS Vision]" (might want to look and see if there is a way to do this syntax like an escape sequence for the rgu file)

The contextmenu handler failures were fixed by adding a few lines of whitespace to the end of the file.

After i flash i'll let ya know how the entries work. and i can repost the package if you like, or PM it to ya and you can make a txt file or something for it.

Oh i also deleted the phonesettings.html files cuz they were already included in another OEM i had in the rom.

Edit: I used this and reflashed the phone now. The Sprint dial #777 data connection isn't set up (one of the main things i was hoping for) and I'd like to incorporate the remove HTC battery icon too.

I may be able to help you here ImCoKeMaN. #777 is set up by registry entries inside the CM_entries.xml file inside Customize_SPCS.sa.CAB. I only know that because I modified that cab file earlier to automatically insert the opendns servers for the #777 connection (works like a champ and you should consider doing that here too). Maybe schettj didn't get that file (most of the other HTC extrom cabs use the platformxxx.reg file for registry entries).

As for removing that stupid useless HTC battery icon in the tray, that's done by PT_RemoveHTCBatteryICON_Apache_206300.sa.CAB and is just a single registry entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000

Well, there's also an entry to disable the time in the top bar (so that the equally stupid MS battery icon will show). I'll quote it here for reference, but I would think twice before putting it in since it's so worthless:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:0

Hope that helps.

Ok thanks for the feedback... as I said in the other topic, the \\ error was because I posted the wrong file

it was fixed in my test build
The phonesettings.html is a newer version, and should override the builtin one, at the cost of 9k internal store memory, dunno if that's critical or not.

However, the huge problem is, as you say, no #777, which means *none* of the CM_Entries.xml changes are going in. Those are all in

mxip_SprintExt203_.provxml

There are two possible problems.

(1) it's named wrong... re-reading the msdn article, it should be

mxip_SprintExt_203.provxml

or (and?)

(2) it should be a unicode file.

I have made two versions and attached - try the first one (proper name) and if it still does not work, try the second.

Oh, and the power icon will not be there if this works - it's in that file as well!

Edit - weird it put them in reverse order... try the NON-UNICODE (ie, 2nd one below) first.
