WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition

[krazy_about_technology]

My God, this is insane, specially for users like me with devices having limited memory. 6.5 builds are getting worse by day in terms of memory leaks Anyways, Thanks joojoobee666 for the info. Appreciate that.

Just had to stop in and say im loving this 23001 build

@joojoobee666: do you have any other suggestions as to what I should do to get my visual kitchen working to create a good booting ROM? Nothing that we have done has fixed the problem of it not loading any 6.5 themes, and also activsync isn't working on any build

I thought I read about someone else having the same issues. Maybe both issues are related to provxml files not being executed on the initial boot? (there is a provxml for the themes as well). The reason I think this is because I saw someone on XDA forum with all kinds of weird crap due to provxml's not working properly after changing kitchens. (No resolution)

Some info I found on testing provxml files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519548

This is all assuming that the XIP is good.

Update: I did read that permission issues could cause the provxml files to not be executed. They should all be marked as Hidden, System and read only. You can verify this by looking in your dump folder at the provxml files, or go to the command prompt in your dump folder and run "attrib name_mxip.provxml" and see what attributes they have.

Update 2: Found some code (thanks Anryl) you can add to your kitchen to make sure permissions are correct. Use this on the \temp\dump before building the imgfs.

cd temp\dump
attrib S00? +H /S
rem attrib *.* +A -S -H -R
attrib *.dll +S +H +R
attrib *.exe +S +H +R
attrib *.lnk -S -H -R
attrib *.csv +S +H +R
attrib *.htm +S +H +R
attrib *.mui +S +H +R
attrib *.doc +S +H +R
attrib *.dat +S +H +R
attrib *.provxml +A +S +H +R
attrib *.xls +S +H +R
attrib *.xml +S +R
attrib *_manila +H
attrib *manil* +H
attrib *.mid +S +R
attrib *.vol +S +R
attrib *.txt +S +R
attrib *.wav +S +R
attrib *.wma +S +R
attrib *.png +H
attrib *.brn +H
attrib *.gif +S +R
REM Fix for smartskey.inf
attrib *.inf -S -R -H
attrib +A +R +H +S *.provxml 
attrib -H -S -R *.jpg
attrib -H -S -R *.bmp
ECHO. Fixing Attributes
cd..
cd..

I don't know if this will help or not, but I guess it can't really make things worse since you don't have a fully functional ROM anyhow.

so i checked the .provxml files like you suggested, and only 2 of them were hidden files, none of them were read-only files, and none of them were set as system files. So how do i make the visual kitchen assign the correct attributes?

Edit your "kitchen_build_rom.bat" file.

TOOLS\platformrebuilder.exe
if not "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto error

Put the code I gave you in the last post right below that above line.

@joojoobee666 thank you...i am just changed it and going to cook now and will let you know the results!

[qball1616]

so i tried placing the code you gave me right below the line you mentioned, and tried placing it with a space after the line you gave me, and both ways it caused the kitchen to crash. I am attaching the .bat file so you can look it over and maybe we should put that code in a different spot.

maybe try changing the first line from "cd dump" to "cd temp\dump" then adding an extra "cd .." at the end. I should have looked at that a little harder before I copied and pasted.

I think you guys nailed it! That code was there in VK5.3, but its missing in 11.3! Maybe thats why I can cook the same SYS with 5.3, no problem, but cant with 11.3! Thanks you guys, I will try to add code and cook and test!

EDIT: It did the trick! Damn, I had been looking for fix for months, and was driving me nuts! Thanks joojoobee!
