PPCGeeks - New Kitchen (Helmi_APAC_WM3.5_NEW_Kitchen

Here's a bug collection thread for the new kitchen R2. I'm going to try to gather all posted bugs into this first message, so folks don't need to poke all over to find them.

Got a bug, let us know. Please be specific, and please provide steps to reproduce.

Remaining issues...

=#1=== HTC64 Extended ROM Tool/CreateROM.bat

The paths in HTC64 Extended ROM Tool are still off. The paths are set as...
\Upgrade\nk.nbf
\temp\nk.nba

But that would be for a directory structure like...
\temp\Upgrade
\temp\temp

They should be...
..\Upgrade\nk.nbf
nk.nba
...which should get things working with the current CreateROM.bat config.

------

NOTE: The HTC64 Extended ROM Tool remembers the last location it loaded .prj files from. If you have multiple copies of it on your machine be sure to check the directory you are selecting the .prj files from.

Once set things should work smoothly on the next run. But remember to watch out if you are using multiple kitchens.

------

I think "CreateROM.bat" is a bit too complex for it's own good. I don't understand why we are copying everything to the \temp directory on each go. Why not call it directly from \Tools, and set the paths to...
..\Upgrade\nk.nbf
..\temp\nk.nba

Doing so turns...

Code:

ECHO Next: Flash the rom...

This gives warnings at more appropriate junctures, has fewer steps, and doesn't cause odd things to happen like edits made to the .prj files being forgotten. See the bottom of this post for a patch implementing the changes above.

=#2=== OEM\Optional_TrayLaunch:

Blank icons appear if any of the following OEM packages are not installed...
-Optional_TaskMgr&RegEditor
-Optional_Total Commander
-Optional_acbToggleBT
-Optional_psShutXP

=#3=== OEM\Optional_OneNoteMobile=12.0.4518.1010:

Installing this results in an extra set of Office icons, one in "Program Files" and one in "Program Files\One Note". The icons have different images, but I think thats due to the OneNote ones actually pointing to little "27k" stub executable that calls the regular office exe's.

Quote:

I didn't include the Office that was in the system but included only the OneNote OEM. When I tried to open word/excel/power point, it just throws an error

Win32Eception at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx ()...

But the One Note doesn't have any problems. Only the other three apps. I guess they are dependent on the Office app.

Couldn't we create an OEM that didn't include the stub exe's or "OneNote Mobile" folder in Programs, but instead just created a "OneNote Mobile" icon in Programs. The only advantage to the stubs seems to be the revised icons, but they aren't even that nice, as they lack transparent backgrounds.

That would cleanly resolve both the multiple icons, and the breakage if other office components weren't installed.

See patch below.

=#4=== OEM\Optional_Camera

------

See patch below.

=#5=== OEM\Optional_Flashlight

This install seems to not provide a mechanism to activate the installed program outside of running the executable directly out of \Windows. This is due to an excess commented line in it's RGU...

Code:

;[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\KEYS\112]

  @="Flashlight"

  "Open"="VJCandelaLite.exe"

...the first line should not include the ";" prefix.

Now I can still use it and it doesn't interfere with notifications.

=#7=== BT PAN:
