Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
I posted this sometime before, but i think its gone unnoticed, so i am posting again.
Oh my god, Thanks a lot Da_G for this great explaination, it was very interesting. But can you tell me, If i want my WM 6.1 ROM to fully utilize the changes in 6.1 VM Mapping, what changes i need to do in the XIP/other areas of ROM? As you might know, the HTC P3400i (Gene) phone comes with a WM 6 ROM. I ported the xip to WM 6.1 21051 build. In that process i removed the file encfilt.dll and replaced it with mencflt.dll, added initvmmap.exe to it, and added the following registry settings to boot.rgu : Quote:
Also, is it possible for us, chefs, to build a WM 6.5 VM model aware nk.exe for our devices, coz over there at the XDAForums, some guys did it for Hermes, Polaris etc which, in my knowledge were not destined to receive 6.5 updates/native kernel. How can we do it for our devices?

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
Sorry krazy, I did read it but did not get a chance to reply,
I think, to take advantage of these new features, you will need a Native Kernel (nk.exe) compiled against WM 6.1 / 6.5 - With the ones I have posted over at XDA, at one point or another there was a test ROM developed for these devices. Because the code was compiled against the right version, it incorporated those new features. It may be possible with some clever IDA hacking to make an older nk.exe operate in the new memory model, but this is beyond my skill. The unfortunate part about nk.exe is that it combines device-specific initialization code with the kernel, when these could be seperated - in future CE OS versions I believe it is set up this way (so we won't face these problems in the future where a new kernel brings new features that an old kernel won't access properly) My eyes are always open for new things (like native kernels for more devices) and rest assured as soon as I get my grubby hands on them, so will you Quote:

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
Hmm, i got it. But do you think this is true for WM 6.1 also? I mean, in WM 6.5, the VM space was expanded, but in WM 6.1, there were just layout changes, if i am not wrong. Does there exists any proper way to check this out that whether or not my dlls are loading in upper slots? The WinMo developers blog, in their 2 part article "Slaying the Virtual Memory Monster" shows screenshots of an application that shows some information that can be used to know this, but that was very crude, and the bad part was, they haven't provided link to that application.

I will have to wait until I get home in a few hours to see what I can do to fix this. Since I don't know much about the files, I will probably have to rely on the fine folks here to help me out. Thanks, Jeff

Was your older working kitchen working fine any of the 218xx builds?
