Key's v1.3.2 cleaned 3.35 kitchen [April 23] - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

A kitchen of a cleaned Sprint's 3.35.651.2
running WM 6 CE OS 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8)
(no radio included -- requires 3.35.04, 3.37.20, 3.39.10)
With the release of 1.3.0 I think that this project may be complete.
I can't think of how to safely free up any more memory and every module
that I had planned is packaged separately into the kitchen.
Small additions may come but I can't foresee any major revisions.
Using DogGuy's Kitchen Maker this was originall based off of a1jatt's preliminary cleaning of the official Sprint release, v1.3.x is a direct cleaning of the 3.25.651.2 OS ROM.
I have packaged the latest official Alltel, Sprint, and Telus carrier setups, with the rest from DCD.
The base (with Office) of this kitchen installs a ROM at 49 MB and when first after boot providing ~25.6 MB of RAM free at the default 6 MB pagepool:
OEMizer & PagePool Changer utils are included for you to customise your ROM further.
Carriers:
Alltel (settings from the April/08 release), Bell, Cricket, QWest, Sprint (settings from March/08 release), Telecom, Telus (settings from the July/2007), Verizon
Removed:
.NET CF 2.0, HTC Guardian, SQM, HTC Home, HTC Task Manager, Adobe Acrobat
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, Esmertec Java, remaining items of Sprint Navigator, Lockstream DRM, Windows Live, Office
Kitchen:
Except for the rotten HTC Guardian, the kitchen includes all of the removed
apps and utils, plus some fundamental choices for tweaks,
dotFred's Task Manager & Registry Editor, Oxios Memory, SIPChange,
and No2Chem's nueLED 1.5 & nueAudio 1.0,
Remote Desktop, Today Screen Disable Options, UC Compatibility auto-run after first boot,
choice of the newer .NET CF 3.5 or .NET CF 2.0 as included with the Sprint ROM,
Office, OneNote, Windows Live, DCD's standard registry tweaks....some games..., HTC Zip, Touch Dialer,
Esmertec Jbed 20080222_3_1, Esmertec Jeodek 20080115_4_1 (read here for info on differences)
- you may add your own to the Kitchen's OEM directory.
This kitchen package is released to be a small and stable base for the OS.
Follow to this XDADeveloperWiki page for links to many OEM packages for you to
collect and apply the individual items that you wish to build into the ROM.

THANKS GOES TO:
DCD, a1jatt, No2Chem, and DogGuy for his excellent kitchen utility!!!​
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Easy installation:
HINT: Avoid hassles with your USB connection and PC by flashing via a non-SDHC microSD card
This ROM requires Olipro 2.40 bootloader
If flashing ROMs via the microSD method then update to 2.40 before continuing on.
radio 3.35.04, 3.37.20, or 3.39.10 is required
via the microSD card flashing method (below), upgrade your Titan directly to the radio without reflashing the OS or via the full Sprint 3.35.651.2 ROM (radio 3.35.04) or Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM (radio 3.37.20) or Sprint pre-release 3.49.xx (an executable archives, right click to extract the RUU_signed.nbh ROM file)
Use the SD card method to only flash the CDMA radio to 3.37.20 or 3.39.10
Flash to one of the latest Sprint or Alltel ROMs but do NOT boot into the OS after flashing to this ROM.. Carrier specific customisations will run after screen calibration and alter your EPST settings.
Repeat the microSD flashing routine to flash to the kitchen built ROM.
I. OEMizer (optional)
Run OEMizer.exe from the kitchen's tool directory.
Complete your choices to customise your Titan's OS/Owner/Data/etc configurations
Hit the 'Create OEM' buttom for the customizations to be written into the kitche's OEM directory.
Build your ROM via the kitchen.
II. Kitchen
Run BuildNB.bat to execute BuildOS.
Hit the play button when you have selected your choices.
Exit BuildOS once it has completed.
Let the batch file complete its jobs.
quit the ROM Upgrade utility when it loads up and skip onto the following instructions on how to flash via the microSD card method.
OR follow through to finish the flash with the ROM Upgrade Utility via the USB.
III. PagePool Changer (optional)
Run PagePool Changer.exe
Select your ROM -- /RUU/RUU_signed.nbh
The default is 6 MB
The Titan has limited RAM so it isn't recommended to go beyond 8 MB
go smaller if you want more RAM free
Hit 'Close' when ready.
Flash your custom ROM.
IV. Flashing via a non-SDHC microSD card
With a card reader on your PC, format a non-SDHC microSD card into FAT32 (tested to work up to a 4kb cluster size)
From the kitchen's RUU directory, copy the ROM (RUU_signed.nbh) to the root of the microSD
Rename the ROM to TITAIMG.nbh
Insert your card.
Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
This will work to flash with an official ROM and radio, I think regardless of the boot loader you have installed. But ensure that you have the correct boot loader (olipro 2.40 for this ROM) installed for when you do eventually finish with your flashing and are ready to boot into the OS.

change log
Known issues: nada
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
v1.3.2 [23/04/08]
Updated Alltel carrier settings to the that of the April/08 Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM
Alltel specific Arcsoft MMS settings -- waiting for those on alltel to test
Updated from the new Alltel ROM:
bluetooth drivers BTHCI.dll
CDMA_API.dll
InitProv.dll
v1.3.1
updated Sleuth255's UC to v2.0
Choice between the stock and Touch camera
Choice between the old (stock jeodek) and latest Esmertec Jbed 2008/02/22 Java (apparently you may install both -- read here for info on differences)
Changed mxip_notify.vol to remove any Customer Feedback reminders
Customer Feedback link in settings is removed by default without the need to select DCD's common registry tweaks
v1.3.0
Fully cleaned remaining SQM bloat...well, except for the customer feedback link in system settings.
Finally OEM'd the stock dialer so dialer skins are now supported by the kitchen - fttilt's Touch dialer is included
Sprint is now using nearly identical operators settings as the official ROM
The missing '1' in the stock dialer when using Sprint is resolved.
v1.2.5.1
Back to the stock AudioPara.csv only. The available modifed ones are incompatible with the profile of SPB PhoneSuite and tend to lock up the device. They're for WM 6.1 only? I may include a working option from one created with nueAudio within WM 6, but you can include nueAudio into the build and quickly personalise the handset and 'earcuple' settings within the OS.
v1.2.5
Customer feedback and SQM is removed.
Removed Office, OneNote, and Windows Live and added their options to the kitchen.
Added a choice of Scrufdog's louder AudioPara.csv (tested and works with SPB Phonesuite) or the stock file from Sprint.
Added the option of DCD's regular ROM tweaks.
Were previously bundled into the SYS directory by a1jatt.
v1.2.4
Removed Lockstream DRM as it was prompting issues with the PRL and slow boots.
Returned .NET CF 2.0 as per the Sprint ROM providing the choice between that OR the latest 3.5
v1.2.3
A choice of Comm Managers is now possible
Included the popular 10 button manager
Removed the modifed audiopara.csv and replaced it with the stock file.
It was interferring with SPB Phone Suite's profiles
v1.2.2
Changed the .NET CF 3.5 package to the one included in _Alex_'s v5.1 OEM pack.
Removed the Lockstream DRM files and added it as a kitchen option.
Kitchen additions:
FTouchFlo, FTouchFlo Config, Remote Desktop, and Today Screen stock item disable options.
v1.2.1
I was wrong, it was not .NET 3.5 that was causing the trouble but No2Chem's battery .dll was somehow preventing apps from seeing/accessing COM4.
the battery dll is back to stock.
.NET CF 3.5 is back in and 2.0 is once again removed.
v1.2.0
to resolve VisualGPSc not seeing the GPS's COM4, I removed .NET CF 3.5 and reverted back to Sprint's stock 2.0
removed No2Chem's nueAudio from the kitchen as it requires .NET CF 3.5
v1.1
Added carrier selections
Telus based services from last summer's WM6 offical release
Remainder carriers from DCD's releases
Removed Adobe Acrobat Reader
v1.0
My FIRST ROM/kitchen!

---

Thanks Key... downloading now. I've been looking to cook a custom TELUS ROM with WM6 and drivers that support the new radio.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
- Very Speedy ROM overall
- initial free RAM is ~24 as claimed
- I still think an 8MB pagepool is a must for the TITAN so it was nice to still be able to do a custom PP with this kitchen
- Sprint Customization forces carrier back to SPCS. Is there any fix?
- additional OEM dialer skins, smart dial, calc (vogue) would be nice to cook with as well
- Some things like "get good" still need to be removed
Looks like the kitchen still needs some work at the moment. Flashing back to DCD 3.0.1

---

Would you consider swapping out the extended rom driver with the one in no2chem's rom so that the extended rom can be unlocked. Also, does your rom work with wm5torage. If not, could you add an option to swap the memory card driver with a previous version that does work with wm5torage.
Thanks for the great work. I'm already downloading your rom!!!!

- Sprint Customization forces carrier back to SPCS. Is there any fix?
SO could I be using this as a functioning 3.35 Sprint kitchen? That's what I am really in search of... Thanks,
Josh

Should be resolved now. The ROM this was based upon wasn't fully set-up for Telus and still had some of the previous Sprint settings in the OEMOPERATORS folder. That's all history with the use of DCD's selectable carriers. As it appears DCD did with his Sprint and Verizon settings, hopefully all is fine with my reversion from DCD Telus settings to the official operator settings from last summer's Telus WM6 release.

For now I just wanted to get this out clean and working. I haven't had a chance to test for skins yet.

I was disspointed by that too... Anyone know the names of the associated files?

Thanks for helping! I'm learning. Now I will get onto last night's odd COM4 mystery with VisualGPSc.

I did consider that but I wanted to keep things as simple as possible. You're welcome to add it.

I would be happy to make the changes. Would you mind telling me where you learned how to change the .net version from 2 to 3.5. I tried doing this using dog guy's kitchen and the original rom image and while i had limited success it was really only a cludge which is kind of buggy. long story short, i dont know how to modify the underbelly of the rom which wold be necessary to change the drivers. if you can give me a link or a brief explanation of the process then i will be happy to work out the details of this mod.
thanks

I deleted the net directory within the SYS directory. Then I added the PPCGeeks OEM of 3.5 to the OEM directory of the kitchen.
I have since removed it and gone back to 2.0, as 3.5 alone was giving a single odd error of VisualGPSc not being able to recognise COM4 for the internal GPS. I'm not sure if it was the GPS driver, VisualGPSc, etc., that was having the issue but since 2.0 fixed and I didn't know what other problems 3.5 may cause, I've gone back to the .NET settings that Sprint released.
Thanks for the offer for the carriers, but I was quicker than I expected! All done.
As for learning, I began last night at 10 on a whim of wanting a cleaned version of the Sprint WM6 release for myself. I had the weekend free so all last night I went for it.

This is the same thing I did but it causes errors with some .net applications. If you look at DCDs roms, the SYS/NET directory is replaced by a SYS/NET35 directory. (Note, you can't just replace the directory it doesn't work) In other words, he integrates net35 into the rom instead of using an oem. I believe that there is a place where the registry keys are hiding but I can't find them. The only glimpse I have had of these hidden registry keys is when you do a partial build of the rom and then extract the user.hv and default.hv files. Then you can see the registry keys. Unfortunately, modifying the registry keys at that stage of the build is not really practical because it would have to be done every time the rom is built. I was hoping you had done the integration similar DCD and that you might share you knowledge. I have searched and I can not find the information.
Thanks again for you work!
P.S. By the way, if I ever learn how to do this I am planning on modifying a WM5 kitchen with the latest drivers and gps so that I can reduce the memory footprint.

---

atomclock, I dunno but since I found that .net 3.5 wasn't at fault for the GPS and I haven't crashed other apps, I think that I will leave it in. If people notice problems then it will be a quick change for me to revert back to 2.0 in the kitchen.
We may get word from DCD and others as to what and how things are working for them.
thank you!

---

d/l now. i have to let the phone charge up a bit and then will try out your rom. What are the advantage of the 3.5 framework again?
I am currently running the factory rom cause dcd's version would not let me connect to the net after a period of time.

Did you try going over 8MB with the pagepool and see what effect it had on free RAM after bootup? I'm running a 24MB pagepool on a Touch and the larger size makes a world of difference.

I'll soon repost a link to download my v1.2 that uses CF 2.0 rather than 3.5.

---

Hmm, I keep crashing BuildOS.exe when running the batch. I have all the packages as DCD suggested, and can cook other ROMs just fine.
Any ideas what might cause this?

---

If there is an NBH file in the RUU folder (from previous cook), that will block the BuildOS. Delete it if it is there.

I'm sorry morgan, but few ideas.
Are you extracting the archive of the kitchen to a fresh folder?
Do you have appropriate security rights for the folders?
Are you running BuildNB.bat intact and unmoved from there?
When does it crash? Upon loading BuildOS or when BuildOS dumps the new OS to its created TEMP directory?

---

Well, I configured my OEMs, added a few of my own. It's fully extracted in it's own folder inside my 'phone' folder. I have all the rights. I did not change any of the files after unzipping.
It crashes right as I run the batch, when it goes to load buildOS...
http://www.morninglion.com/crash.jpg is a screen shot.

---

Just a guess, but do you have the latest MS Visual C++ Resdistributable installed?

---

Yup, and all the latest .nets... I do all my ROM building on this same PC, this is the only one to give me an issue... Maybe it's the mirror I used, let me try another.
