Helmi Official AKU 3.5 Kitchen 1.0.2 Bugs / Patches

[xv6700ft]

I'm having an issue with some of the SPB OEM's. I have included J Babey's SPB Weather, and there is one little quirk I can't fix that maybe some of you have come across. With weather integrated into Pocket Plus, you are supposed to be able to touch the weather icons and get a popup of the weather forecast. The same thing applies when weather is integrated into Diary. When I tap on the Diary forecast, I get nothing. When I tap on the SPB weather tab forecast, my phone freezes. Is there a registry setting to fix this?

Also, with Backup, when you tap on the Pocket Plus tab to bring up the application, you get an error. It's not launching the backup app. Has anyone managed to fix this?

I would hate to re-flash my phone. This would suck.

By the way, great job to everyone that helped with this kitchen. It is by far the most stable, and the storage card has worked flawlessly so far.

I posted this in the other thread, but try this registry change to fix the SPB Backup Today plugin:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Spb Backup]
"Instl"=dword:00000001 (dword)
"InstallDir"="\\Windows" (string)
"InstlDir"="\\Windows" (string)

Thanks jbonilla. That worked. There is probably something similar that needs to be done on my weather install.

If anyone can figure out an easy way to clear that memorized path it would make things easier for the noobs.

Would setting it to the appropriate path rather than clearing it work (not sure there is an easy way to do that)?

Nope I don't believe it can be set to the "correct" path because it can't be specified relative to the exe--it must be an absolute path, which would be different on every person's PC. I keep mine on the root of D:, while others keep theirs on their desktop, etc.

So "clearing" the path to always take you to "My Documents" or something like that would ensure that everyone had to re-navigate to the correct kitchen folder first.

Right. You'd need something to read the current path, set the reg appropriately, and then launch HTC64_Extended_ROM_Tool.exe.

Examples:

  REG ADD \\ABC\HKLM\Software\MyCo
    Adds a key HKLM\Software\MyCo on remote machine ABC

  REG ADD HKLM\Software\MyCo /v Data /t REG_BINARY /d fe340ead
    Adds a value (name: Data, type: REG_BINARY, data: fe340ead)

  REG ADD HKLM\Software\MyCo /v MRU /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d fax\0mail
    Adds a value (name: MRU, type: REG_MUTLI_SZ, data: fax\0mail\0\0)

  REG ADD HKLM\Software\MyCo /v Path /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %%systemroot%%
    Adds a value (name: Path, type: REG_EXPAND_SZ, data: %systemroot%)
    Notice:  Use the double percentage ( %% ) inside the expand string

Well the problem with all of that is that I don't have a way to set the path in the registry. The paths I obtained in a regshot don't seem to be the right ones.

So if someone can find those paths then we can proceed with the rest.

F*CK YA!!!!

Thank you! These are the keys I was looking for in the other thread to fix my Spb Backup v1.6.1 OEM I've been working on for this kitchen.

Cool points to jbonilla!

EDIT: Nevermind... I didn't notice you uploaded an OEM as well. Oh well... thanks for finding the registry keys I was hunting for.

EDIT2: @jbonilla... I downloaded your RGU file. Looks like there may be some issues with it. You have some extra slashes in the HKEY lines I.E. :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Backup]
should be
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Backup]

While you use \\ in the String values... it is not necessary in the HKEY location.

I corrected those inconsistencies in my OEM here as well as adding all missing reg keys. This OEM should be fully functional and latest version as of now:

Thanks for the tip.
I reflashed without Smartskey and it appears to be working now.

Yeah, I originally replied to your post in the other thread and then mentioned it again in this thread when someone else brought it up.

The extra slashes following HKEY were already in the original OEM that was part of the kitchen. The only changes I made were to add the registry entries I mentioned and a couple of changes related to the version number. Now that you mention it though, I didn't put the double slashes to the entries I added. The OEM I modified did work properly on my ROM, so I don't know what the deal is as I'm not an experienced OEM maker. I'll go ahead and delete the one that I uploaded so there's no confusion. Glad it's working now for you and hopefully we can also fix the SPB Weather problem.
