Me too. And it works!!
I tried it, actually, this is working until the soft restart the plugin. After that the prophet is going VERY slow (+15s to open windows directory, instead of 3s usually).

I've had that problem also. It got very slow. I tought it was something else I might have done, so I hard Reseted my device and never used the program since(because I don't use the HTC Home plugin - I just wanted to try the program).
yeah guys it make my prophet very slow
any solution can we do it ?
Hi there,
Thanks for this great app! But anyone has problems with running HTC Audio Manager in WM5? It doesn't work on my Prophet. It gives me the known 'trusted certificate' message when I try to run it. Please help
My prophet also got VERY slow! I recognized that the home plugin customizer placed about 200-300 files in windows/ (HH_....)
i think this is the reason for slow performance!
I can't understand why some programs place their files in /windows instead of this the files coulb be saved in Windows/HH_home_plugin .... or something like that.
If someone is able to do that,pleaso DO IT!!!
I considered to delete the files in /windows but i dont wanted to delete any of the "origin" home plugin files
sorry for my horrible english
Hey,
I'm the author of the customizer and I'd like to hammer out the slowness issue. The only thing I can think of is that the files are installed to a different location on your prophet (from ROM install) than the customizer is checking for. Could someone please let me know when the files are found on the device with the default plugin? I would like to fix this for the next version which is just about done.
Thanks,

From what i've been able to find out, the slow down happens because when the program applies a skin, or just a part of it(it doesn't really matter if it's all or just a part), the files in windows folder are replaced, but as they are ROM files, the replacing of the files doesn't really overwrite them, and being so, the list of files becomes longer and longer, and that causes the PPC to slow down.
So, in my opinion, the solution starts by not having the plugin included in the rom(correct me if i'm saying nonsenses), and maybe putting it in the extrom, and making the installation go to a differente folder.

I agree, a different folder would completely resolve this issue. For instance, schen's cab installs almost everything (except HTC HDlg.exe,HTC HDlg.0409.mui, and HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml) to \HTCHome. How easy/hard would it be for the cookers to change that and is it worth changing to get better "compatiblity" with the customizer?

hi again
what I tryed to do in my V4 & 5 of prophet touch roms was to move the images to HTC folder with intflashfile.txt like this
Directory("\HTC\Home"):-File("HH_BEZEL_fill.png","\Windows\HH_BEZEL_fill.png")
but that only made a copy of the original file so I had 2 copies of the same image...
1 in HTC folder and 1 in windows folder, but what I wanted to do is move the files to HTC folder
so if anyone knows how I could do it properly I'd be verry happy,
because it would make the rom faster and would also make this customiser program even more affective.

Saving themes should not affect your device. When you save a custom theme, all the customizer does is save the name you gave it in an "ini" file in the customizer's FILES directory. Now applying a theme is a different story as that's when it's copying files to your device.
Could you or someone else test this out a little more? I'd like to release v0.8 today but if this is indeed the issue, I'd like to fix it before release.
first i am mistake about saving theme ..... i was wanted to say make backup not saving theme

help pls
when i go to change themes there aren't any. It's blank! When I go to icons, it is blank also. what should I do?
Is there a "manual" way to change font type in the clock display?
It would be great to be able to do that without using that .cab
THANKS!
OK i edit myself. Numbers are png files which i guess can be edited. COULD someone post number samples so we could choose the appearance? It would be great. THANKS!
I found some possible ways to get a animated startup screen on Artemis, Hermes, Trinity and Elf, but what is with them for our Prophet?
Can anybody get them working? I tried some but without success!

yes it is possible, but I didn't worked it out fully.
it worked when I flashed prophet with a cooked rom that used initial leaked dump(sys and oem) of Touch.
device booted till startup animation and stops at welcomehead.
It prove that its possible on prophet also. However floating cab/oem-packs never worked.
evo 8 has a start up animation
it works , but I don't use it because it just make the reboot takes longer.
hma4 > Where is the OEM Pack how is working you use ?
Good night
Yeah, i want the OEM-/SYS-Package for this, too!
yeah
i'm interested too!!! can someone upload some progz or animations or an how-to make it? Thank you
KEN
I will try to include that functionnality to my BootScreen changer tool (see my signature).
An update is coming within 2 days max.
I would like to have that "shiny" on my phone aswell
I'm sure the hardcore rom cooks don't use it... but it would be a nice addition...
see if you tell us how to do it hma4 or gullum, then the people have to wait extra seconds on boot time but add some "shiny stuff" to their PDA phones.
I've extracted the needed files and one registry path (with some sub-entries) and integrated them into my german Prophet Touch IX, flashed it and nothing apeared!
It seems that there must be more than I've found!
i know i'm not a genious in this stuff, but isn't there like a DLL needed to actually get those animations going... isn't there a little secret file you need to get it going...
i cant find out how to make it work... can someone tell me how to do such thing? thank you so much
man I would love to have an animated today screen... that would be awesome.
Hey,
Yes, you can have an animated Today screen for your PPC. There's one by Gigabyte and it's really awesome! Search for it and I'm sure that you'll find it.
kiwi992.
We're searching for a possible way to integrate an animated bootscreen and not an animated today screen!
EVO8EN has it... so i'd guess rip it out of that rom or just plainly ask the cook...
any update on this?
ok i seem to have found all the files... you need a couple more files than only the one file in the cab...
so it seems...
StartupAnimationEngine.dll (the engine to have the startup animation)
(i'm figuring out if this DLL needs to be added to the drivers list inside the registry)
PLAYSND.dll (seems to have a function to add startup sounds)
Htc_Lib.dll (used instead or aside of HTCUtil.dll i'm not sure...)
added this one to registry at drivers... it doesn't hurt my prophet... so i'm leaving it there...
Engine.Dll (i do not have the foggiest idea what the **** this file is for...)
these files are pointed out in some artemis startup animation thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311357&page=13&p=1317509
the registry keys to activate it should be:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"GIFFile"="\\windows\\animated.gif"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"WAVFile"="\\windows\\startup.wav"
"Volumn"=dword:0x50
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"GIFFile"="\\windows\\animated.gif"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\HtcInit]
"Prefix"="HTC"
"Dll"="Htc_Lib.dll"
"Order"=dword:0
!!! verry important.... !!! i've added a HTCinit2 key so i didn't DELETE the HTCUtil.dll driver initialisation... just because i'm scared i'll f**kup my prophet...
use these settings and files at own risk...!!
(nothing happened when i used these files but you never know...)
HUZAAAH it works now...
f**k me!!! it works...!!! just edited registry... with the setting i really didn't want (the scared to make my prophet fubar part...)
it was the files i mentioned... it was the registry i mentioned...
so:
these files should be in your windows directory (on your pda that is... )
StartupAnimationEngine.dll
PLAYSND.dll
Htc_Lib.dll
HTCUtil.dll
Engine.Dll
regedit these settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"GIFFile"="\\windows\\animated.gif"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"WAVFile"="\\windows\\startup.wav"
"Volumn"=dword:0x50
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"GIFFile"="\\windows\\animated.gif"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\HtcInit]
"Prefix"="HTC"
"Dll"="Htc_Lib.dll"
"Order"=dword:0
however i did make another regedit but i don't know weither it's needed or not...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\StartupAnimationEngine]
"Dll"="StartupAnimationEngine.dll"
in any way these are my settings and they work...
FOUND A PROBLEM!! if you have a WAV file to play at startup my sounds stop working... no rings, no mp3, nothing!!
Simple steps on howto
1. download the kitchen Download
2. download Prophet Touch X rom Get it here
3. extract Kitchen and Prophet Touch X to separate folder
4. Place the OS.nb from Prophet Touch X in the rom folder of the Kitchen
5. run Buildos.exe and choose what to include (the marked apps are the once that are in Prophet Touch X) press the green play button and wait for it to finish
6. run CreateROM.bat (if there is any error the you have included to much in the Buldos prosess)
7. if there were no error the new OS.nb is in the temp folder move it to the Prophet Touch X folder and overwrite the os.nb in it
8. flash any step 1 WM5
9. now Flash your new rom within Prophet Touch X folder
if everything is done right you should have your new coocked rom on your Prophet
I have put all the things that should not be removed into the SYS folder so do only make changes to the OEM folder till you know more about cooking .
replace the HTC Audio Manager with this one
View attachment OEMAudioManager.zip
New HTC Album with folder option
View attachment HTCAlbumFolderOption.zip
Extras and links
I'll upload some addons for the kitchen later on as I've made more OEM packs
You can also search for oempacks to include but be aware that some OEM packs are device depented
Some cool tools that I use but have not included in kitchen You'll need to understand what they do before using them
HyperCore Kitchen cool for dumping roms and building ( I use it for dumping)
this is great.. awesome.
Great job Gullum. Now guys, we all should start frying Hokienmee or Char Kueh Teow (both chinese cuisine)

Really love this kitchen...
Thanks man, you are great!!!
It'll be even better if have a list of what those things really for. I do not know which box to check and which one is not
Maybe I'm too new for 'cooking'

good news
i'll try it
for every change in X and flashing it, is it always necessary to do step 1 again (wm5 flashing) ?
When I do hard reset and at the "tap screen to go on" point, I could start flashing X too ?
What I mean, is the complete rom exchanged when I flash X, or do some parts from wm5 or old X (IX, VIII ....) remain ?
I've try to cook today.. BUt seems something is going wrong...
Better I flashed it back to the original touch X ROM...
I also had some bad luck with cooking.
I did everything gullum said, flashed 'new' TouchX, did hard reset and then when its time to see welcome screen and 'press any key.....' there is blank white screen! Nothing happens no matter which button i press! Any ideas?

I did the same think.
At my case, i have enter today screen.. But I think, its programs don't install clearly.. (hard reset don't help either.)
The first screen is the same one as you.. The white one.. Maybe you should to try ask Gullum again..
I just flash back to Touch IX with another Ext ROM. QuickMenu in that ext.ROM
thanks gullum
I would like to translate this rom to Portuguese can you give some advices? our some tutorial to do that, please? can i do that with this soft?
best regards
thanks (for this perfect kitchen) gullum ,some 3 questions i have :
1.>how to get oem or make one ,and
2.>how to get .dsm , .rgu files of my favorite software . and
3.>how do i make registry changes prior to build os are they automatic
Note :ext_rom files attributes should be read only since its like that in original rom so i made them read only(i think its healthy for system files any virus won't be able to modify it unless the file needs to be appendable updateable it should be read only),plus i deleted alot of thumbs.db files lying in many folders (about >2mb) just to clean oem folder files off thumbs.db i know winxp might be making them all the way .
i corrected audio manger with this kitchen (its gr8),i can't seem to solve camera album (have solved solution given below )problem ,it seems to have come back you know i can't use gestures , what to do ,any reg setting solution.
Edit : **corrected** the setting in reg hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\cacheserial to 2130706432
and hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\default_viewer to 0
if it still don't get solved set first 11 enteries (h_enable to v_pos) value to 0 in
hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\touchscroll\htcalbumclass
i'll try to provide a cab but this forum has alot of intelligent members

2 reasons 1.> i hope you are pressing play(top left in build OS)button after whatever you choose,with what ever you want in it.
2.>your file size has to be limited its almost full with this kitchen so you have to remove some item like voice dialing (which i seldom use) or some other item removed before you add some item since size dependency is very important here ,and later run create rom .remember you cannot select everything because of space limitation .
Hello Gullum
I'm trying to do very basic thing adding Windows Live package into the OS.nb but it fails during CreatROM.bat. At BuildImgfs.exe the application BuildImgfs.exe crashes and show the error message and whether to send a report to MS or not (I don't send...).
I just directly add Windows Live to your OS.nb. Is it already fully loaded? Should I remove something before?
question with task manager
something is wrong with task manager.
in control panel ,its setting doesn't work!
Same problem.
Whatever i select in buildOS, BuildImgfs crashes.
Last records is CreateROM.bat window is:
Processing "Painting.gif" as file

i finally tracked down a cab of picsel browser witch i admit looks like the bomb so i download the zip n run the cab soft reset after install (all witout problems) go into programs n open it n i get a mem full error that seems to be inevitable
any one willing to help im using the titan/6800 and in the thread i found it in i see people saying it works great on their titan oh im also on the stock rom n bootloader
anyone who wants the file jus put up ur email n ill mail it to u
I have a new TyTn now, (lost old one), I changed the boot screen too a CIA one i found.
I cant remember how i did it...
I have search put can only find THIS THREAD but that is for a different
model.
Can some one point me to a thread that allows me to change the TyTn boot screen???
Please.
Depends on which boot screen you want to change. There are three of them. First one when you switch on , second when it initiates the gsm and third is windows boot screen. First two you need to create and flash to your device the third is simply called welcomehead.96.png and resides in the windows directory overwrite that file with one of your own thats 240x320 and it will show on startup
is this the image you are referring to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3078867&postcount=14
If thats what you want to have on your hermes
unzip the first attachment then run the ruu_wrapper copy the welcomehead.96 file over to the windows directory if you want to change the windows mobile loading screen too.
If you fancy creating your own use the splashscreenmaker attached, although its for the artemise it works fine on the hermes and wizard too, not sure about other devices. Just make sure the images are 240x320 and no more than 256 colours(well thats what i have found works)
Oh before anyone asks , as i am sure they will, this will not wipe your phone all it does is upgrade the boot screens
Thanks very much
if i had known that the artemise worked i would of used that.....
no problem steve, was that the screen you wanted
sure was buddy
thanks again
