So, I completed the port, but the finished product isn't particularly polished ... to say the least.

Is this atypical because of the resolution / video differences between the diamond vs that of the vogue (touch) ?

Anyone care to enlighten a b00n on what needs to be done in order to have a non-VGA port of 19588 working on my touch?

XIP guidance would be delightful, too.

Vboyz......here's a tip I got from JD.....when running G`reloc the 2nd time, only change slots 0 & 1, don't change the ROM size.....that should do the trick.

So regardless of what I tried, I was not able to port any SYS folder from Kaiser (newer build) to my current Vogue Kitchen. Here's what I've done:

1. I used many Sprint WM 6.0 stock ROM (also tried the Alltel Stock ROM and even some Vogue Custom ROMs found in this forum).
2. Decmopiled the stock ROM (aka DONOR ROM right?) and get the OEM, ROM, SYS folder onto a working folder, ran the GReloc tool *without* clicking on the "Do It!" button. Jotted down the numbers in Slot 0, 1 and ROM size.
3. Created another working folder for the Kaiser ROM (WM 6.1 build 19701).
4. Decompiled the Kaiser ROM got my OEM, SYS, and ROM.
5. Moved the original SYS (of stock ROM) to somewhere separate, and copied over the SYS folder of the Kaiser ROM into the kitchen folder where the STOCK ROM is. At this point, I have my original stock ROM kitchen with a new SYS folder from Kaiser ROM.
6. Ran GReloc and numbers showed up different than the first run in step 2 above. Changed the number in slots 0, 1 and ROM size to match with numbers recorded in step 2 earlier. This time I clicked on DO IT button and it said done without any errors.
7. Ran Build OS, and build ROM and flash, and can't get pass the HTC screen. So the tutorial said if it doesn't get pass the HTC screen, copy the WinCE_WLS or some'n like that from the old ROM (stock ROM that is) into the new SYS copied and replaced the folder mentioned above.
8. Rebuilt and Reflashed but no go either.

At this point I'm desperately needing help!! Please give me some pointers.
TIA.

P.S: I also verified the new WM 6.1 build by using PkgTool after runing buildOS and point pkgtool to the Temp\Dump folder that BuildOS created. I did this before running the actual BuildIt.bat script.

vboy,

The below 3 folders must be kept as Vogue ROM.
.ROM
.VM
