Phone turns off at 4 mins. with Kitchen ROM

[CMeys]

Every ROM I've built with the Kitchen (any version) even a totally vanilla one including nothing but the basics has caused my phone to turn off after 4 minutes even though I have the power settings not to turn off on either battery or external power. This only happens with ROMs created with a version of the Kitchen. I prefer those ROMs as they are the only ones in which I've been able to get MSCV to work properly.

How can I fix this so the phone stops turning off unless I do it manually?

Thanks.

I have noticed this too with the kitchen I use. I have worked around it by having a Mortscript run at at first boot that sets the registry entry manually. It will NOT work if you choose the option in oemizer or if you integrate the registry entry manually.

what is the registry entry to fix that? also could you post or send me the mortscript? Thanks.

Bobby, would you share the Mortscript with me please? I know how to use one, but not how to write one. And to have it run at first boot do I just put it in the Windows/Start Up folder? Please clarify.

Thank you (I thought I was going crazy over this and it was just me, but I guess most people don't won't the phone to stay on unlimited on external power).

RegWriteDWord( "HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeou ts", "BattSuspendTimeout", 300 )

I copied and pasted the code from the script that runs from my sd card. The only reason it starts on first boot is because I cooked Mortscript and the "Loader" script for my customizations into my ROM. More information can be found on the ROM page in my signature.

Edit: Looks like there are spaces shown that should not be in the code. You may be better off copying and pasting directly from the script file here:

If I put the script in the Start Up folder will that work? Thanks.

The only way that would work is if the ROM had Mortscript cooked in. Even if it did, you would need to at least cook the script into the rom and come up with a way for it to delete itself after the first run. If you did not cook the script into the ROM, what would be the point of doing all this anyway? (because you could just go change the setting after boot manually)

I have already considered all those details with my ROM so feel free to "copy" the method I used.

Do you mean that if just edit the registry value it will stick? I thought it wasn't sticking so it was necessary to do it on each reset. If that's not needed, sure, I can just do it manually. Thanks.

[CMeys]

Hmm, I manually edited the BattSuspendTimeout value to 300, reset, verified that the value read 300 which it did, and (on external power) my phone still turned off in 4 minutes? Have I misunderstood something or done it incorrectly? Please help, this is driving me crazy. Thanks.

Well perhaps we have a different problem. My problem is that the battery timeout settings in oemizer or in making integrated registry edits for the battery timeout would not set the battery power timeout correctly. I could of course change them after boot but that was unacceptable to me so I developed a way of post-install customizations that would do it for me (among other things) on first boot.
