Neon ROM development help (for the gurus) - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hi all,
I've taken to trying to get some Neon ROM action happening again. I've downloaded the latest Nike ROM kitchen as a base and have managed to get the ROM to install and mostly function on the Neon hardware. The outstanding problems I can't figure out are as follows:
1) The hardware keyboard does not function correctly (it acts like the 16-key model, where "QW" is the internet key, "AS" is start menu) and has no backlight. I have tried installing the latest EZInput files to no avail.
2) The Nike camera application functions but the Neon camera button does not work (have to use the d-pad button to take photoes) and no auto-focus.
3) No working FM Radio application (I have tried the FM Radio QVGA Diamond Style CAB from here to no avail - though I haven't tried the CAB from the original extrom yet).
Other than that, the phone is highly responsive and calls, tones, ringer and vibration are fully functional.
Would appreciate not being accused of lack of searching because I have spent plenty of time researching these issues. The main complication is that the forum does not let you search for 2-letter terms (such as FM, 16, 20 etc). I think I've done a reasonable job getting this far!
Please help!

Given that Nike is the basic starting point, and the Neon is not quite a Nike, have you tried extracting the relevent package from an official Neon ROM and using those in your OEM?

Thanks jerpelea,
seth2006 put an original copy of the Telstra Neon ROM here, which is the same as what came on my device initially. If you hate rapidshare I can upload a copy elsewhere.
Once you have figured out the incompatibilities could you post them here so us Neon users can finally stop begging for help? Or better yet, explain briefly how you knew which files to extract?
Thanks,
Max.

This is awesome news : ) Sig me up as a tester

hy
it will take me several days

Thanks jerpelea from all us Neon tragics!

I just popped my sim back in my Neon 300. Would love to start testing for days when I'm bored with my G1.

I was a goof and loaded a rom before I had a backup of my US Neon300.
This is how I did my hardspl
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260
Would one rom work for each neon (200,300,400) or would different versions need to be made?

Here it is - the first test version of the new Neon ROM!

Can I get a copy of the kitchen you used? I'd like to start looking into cooking myself. I think I have enough info to get started. I just never had the right info to put together a working kitchen.

I, for one, am extreamly excited about getting the kitchen. I have always wanted to learn how to cool, so this will be great!

Whatever happened to this kitchen?

I have factory neon 300
I am extracting parts 0 through 3 as we speak. I can post those for you if you like and it will help speed this project along.

Is it possible to port 'official' WM6 ROM of HTC Touch(Elf) to the Prophet?

I was wondering is this possible.
The hardware spec. is pretty much the same, except the TouchFLO.
I think ... the Touchscreen is differnet and the main Problem. I have see, the first ported touch cube starts via hardware key! not like on a elf.
Touchflow available on Wizard???
I am not too sure if the H/W if so diff... I think someone has been succesful in porting touch flow to the Wizard.
Check out the following link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313656
Actually, I didn't hope for the TouchFLO to work.
Just that this may be the first official WM6 ROM for HTC Device.
It may be a good and stable base ROM for further development.
Would it help if I uploaded the rom of the german o2 version of the htc touch. My brother got one yesterday. From the first look is the touchscreen pretty much the same as that of the prophet. Same memory size and processor type, too. Just more MHz.

not working
I've tryed to flash a rom with all the OEM parts from the ELF the only new app I got working was the new camera wich by the way is realy cool. but none of the other apps worked. they did load but where not displayed. like the commanager showed no images but I could turn on bluetooth by pressing the screen where the image was supose to be.
to get it to work some dll files must be modified
what would be handy is to get the battery driver from this rom and try it, as this is still giving problems on the current WM6 roms.....

Need - US Touch Dual Rom Dump for porting

With the release of the US Touch Dual (HTC Neon 300 / Niki200) sold through Best Buy, I am looking for a willing individual to dump thier Rom so that Niki100 users can try to port it to their devices.
Dumping this Rom can help bring a stock WM6.1 Rom to other Niki owners. If you have a US Touch Dual purchased from Best Buy and you would like to help, please post here.
If there is any contributing information/problems on compatibility, development, Rom porting or if this is already in progress please feel free to update this thread.
Any help and information would be greatly appreciated,
-Thanks-

Niki200 is only a Device Type. Niki200 Roms work on Niki100 Device too, without modding ... porting ... only dump is required!
Thanks for the information - Do we know if the HTC Neon 300 and Niki200 are one in the same?

Thats what I was wondering, and didn't know if you could do that with the diference in the bands and possible hardware changes.
Notice the image below for different camera placement on the US Touch Dual (HTC Neon 300) as compared to the Niki100. I wonder what else has changed internally.

I'm glad to see someone has also put in this request... I was under the impression that i was being ignored... hehehehe
Anyway, i'm hoping the Neon300 has the same specs as the Neon200, i've ported WM6.1 to the Neon200 but it just has to many hardware issues with a NIKI/Kaiser Rom.
So if we get a dump, we can start cooking... and get some nice Roms.
Anyone come up with a dump yet? I would very much be interested as I'm doing some development for a 6.1+ app and would love to see the stock rom on my dual.
just got one not too long ago and im willing to help.anyone got a wiki on how-to dump a rom?
Excellent, I am really appreciative for your help as well as others I am sure!
I have put together all the information and links you should need to dump your rom, I hope you will find this easy and if you have questions please don't hesitate to ask.
You will need these Tools/applications:

for updates or if the link breaks, go here:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html

Here is an excellent video on how to dump in Quicktime format:
Credits to doctajay and his thread with video tutorials found here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1968557
Dumping Your ROM (51.3 MB)
I recomend saving the video to your computer for easier playback; to do this right click on the image and click "save target as" and choose a location to save it to. The tutorial is not that long but the video time is because you watch him dump his rom, I just scrolled through this.
To Upload
you can upload the raw files using a websites like www.rapidshare.com and post the links for users to download, if you need help or other solutions let me know.
Thank you greatly,

I just got a Touch Dual (WWE), and was trying to dump the rom last night. I was getting an error from pdocread and ended up reading the hermes dumping entry on the wiki and came across this regkey change:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1
Once I performed that pdocread worked great, and dumping went perfectly.

I will dig into this rom and see if I can get it to work on the Niki100. I will also take a look at the camera app and see what I can do. I am fairly new to cooking so I can't pomise anything at this point.
Again, thanks for your rom dump. This will bring great improvment to the community I am sure.

I successfully flashed the US Touch Dual Rom that was dumped to the Niki100 (20 Key)
However I am getting alot of bugs; No error messages but certain elements that do not work or are buggy. I have the NBH file if anyone is interested but it clearly has some issues. I had to create a work around to get past the error number [244] : INVALID MODEL ID and maybe this why my device ended up with these bugs.
Here is what Doesnt Work:
No system noises or sounds through internal speaker or speaker phone which also effects calls(midi ringtones work with incoming calls )
Keyboard Bug - Keyboard works like 16 Key version for the keys with numbers but other 6 keys work normal (I have Niki 20 Key Version) Example: If you press any of the number keys you get numbers, multi tapping only enters the number again. If you hit keys not on the number pad like the QW key it works normally; you get Q and if pressed again you get W.
keyboard Backlight & Quick Tasks works in reverse, backlight on/open quick list when keyboard shut and backlight off/Application closed when open. (Good news is the Quick Task is now animated with sliding motion when open/close)
Camera does not work, application works with setting controls but displays black screen. Also no second camera option.
Here is what works:
6.1 Rom loads and UI functions normally
Touchflo works (not using s600 driver)
Phone can make and receive calls (but no audio or mic functionality)
SMS works normal with Threaded capability(no audible alerts)
Midi Ring tones work with audible
HTC Home, Audio Manger and Album Applications work (camera appplication works but camera does not and audio manger has no sound output)
Data Connection connects in Edge but Explorer shows this when you browse to a page:
HTTP ERROR: $CODE$
$MESSAGE$
RequestURI=/
Settings for Dual Band UMTS are shown but UMTS(800) is selected it does not connect phone or data, all other setting allow call operations and atleast Edge connectivity
Network Type options show GSM and WCDMA (When WCDMA is selected Phone icon shows searching... with blinking dots but finds nothing)
All physical buttons work (with exception of backlight on keyboard *see description in Not Working List)
On Screen Keyboard Works normally
Here is the About info:

Hi mate,
I had the exactly the same issues in reverse (Flashing a NIKI Rom on the Neon) Everything worked fine except for the keyboard and backlight working in reverse.
I managed to get 99% of the issues resolved by Porting the XIP and SYS from the NIKI but leaving the NEON OEM intact. I'm guessing the issue is in the OEM/Drivers folder with a specific dll. I asked the question to a couple of senior members but wasn't able to find a solution.
You can try porting the XIP and SYS from the US version onto your Niki see how that goes.
Let me know if you need help.
Cheers
Finally Did it
After much trouble and many glasses of wine, I now have a stock WM6.1 rom running on my Niki100. I had to port the rom from shortyboy's dump using the last known HTC WWE rom to get what I think is a complete success. Thanks shortyboy, Goines and seth2006 for all your help and motivation.

OK i see ... some Guys need help!
Here some discriptions:
Your Phone doesnt Ring or you dont here any Sound!
This is a Radio Rom Problem or Core DLL Problem (XIP)! Its the same Problem why HTC Kaiser use different OS for Phones with "pre build radios"+1.27, 1.58+1.64 and 1.65 Radio Roms. ATT Kaiser and Non Branded Kaiser has different Radios too. It means ... its a Driver Problem and this is the only reason!
If you have this Problem, you can try compled different Versions. I want a OS copy from Bestbuy Phone. I think they need 1.65 Radios ... i will check this today!!!! (please dont do this, if your phone isnt secure unlock and cid unlocked!!!)
Can't create a dump with the Niki Kitchen and Flash it back!
Main Problem ... you need too edit a Device File in the Niki Kitchen. I have edit the Nikikitchen for Niki Only (i change soon the Version with Neon Settings!)
In the directory "\Tools\" you can found a importent file. "htcrt_devices.ini"
Open it with a Text editor and insert this text!

[ROM UTIL] ProFuze 0.2 - Fuze<->Touch Pro Keyboard Util (work with both)

Hi,
Made an app so that users can switch keyboard types if they install a fuze rom on a TP or a TP rom on a fuze.
I know you can use UC on most roms and install a cab to do it, but I like knowing I'm not relying on my memory card for the basic features of my phone working if I'm out and about and have to hard reset, so I'm hoping this (or something similar) could get cooked into roms.
The final result I'm hoping for is that TP or fuze owners who are concerned about such things are happy, which means more ROM choices for all, and less cooks having to make 2 roms to please all
Thanks!
- Anthony
It's been proven to work on fuze and touch pro
COOKS:-
UPDATE: OEM Package now available to download (ProFuzeSetup02-OEM.zip) Thanks At0mAng!
Let me know if you use it and I'll list compile a list of roms everyone (Fuze and TP owners) can use without messing about with cabs or the registry.
UPDATE Version 0.2 out:-
Changes:
80KB smaller - more ROM friendly
thanks
this is a cool app. i have seen fuze keyboard fix cabs, and a couple some already made, but this i have to thank you for your time doing this.
thank you for sharing and your effort in this
cheers

Whilst in theory it should work, could anyone who uses the "wrong" type of rom test it and let me know if this resolves keyboard issues?
If someone's already made such a tool, I apologise.

I've just updated the 0.2 release (minor cosmetic things so don't warrant a new number as it's fine without the fixes, things such as text in about box was editable), any chance you could update the package in your post / kitchen?

[ROM][OLD GENE][WWE]WM 6.5 build 21198 [UPDATED - April-01-09]

Hi all,
This is a new test build of WM 6.5. the honeycomb in this version is a bit diferent.
I made this ROM only for test as these builds of wm6.5 are all beta. So use it at your own risk. In my device it worked very well.
Remember to do a soft reset after flash.
PS. It's for old gene. I don't plan to release it for new gene but ROM is unprotected so feel free to port it to new gene or modify its contents.
Thanks to Ankit for the sources.

Hey Ramerson, i am also working on this build for new gene, i too took XIP and SYS from Ankit's source. I have a great ROM at hand, with only two problems:
1. On connecting data cable, when passthru internet connection is established, the phone hangs. Touchscreen is responsive but software is not. If backlight becomes dim and i touch the screen it lits up, but nothing works untill a soft reset.
2. NO 3rd party keyboard is working. I am using IOLite Ezinput keyboards which are working fabulously on my previous rom.I tried installing other keyboards too, nothing worked. On selecting any keyboard from SIP menu, the default keyboard comes up.
Apart from these, th ROM is working fabulously well on my new gene.

build 21198 has this issue wait for 212xx
Thanks for the reply Ankit.But buddy, when i first created a test build of this ROM with old internet explorer, the keyboard did worked. But the new widgets and even sms work on new IE so i had to put it back. But after that, these problems came into picture. I cannot undestand what is happening. Lets see if there is anything i could do, otherwise will have to wait.
BTW, the only thing i liked about the WM 6.5 is the new look of scrollbars, titlebars etc and the Titanium TOday plugin. Its really very good and alllows information display along with letting the user enjoy his/her wallpaper too.
Start menu of this build is good but it lacks the recent applications area which was very useful.
If i can get titanium on WM 6.1, i will be more than happy

Hi Sumit,
This build has some improvements from old ones, but it still have some issues. I made it only for test because i didn't build any wm6.5 yet. Have you checked if bluetooth works? Fuguru reported it didn't work. I checked other roms with the same build and found that they also have similar problems.
I'll wait for the next build to update this ROM (I hope this errors don't appear again).
at least this build is fast.
For now i agree with Ankit, it is not worth wasting time with this build.

Yes the build has good improvements, the fluidness of Titanium as well as scrolling of new Start Menu is great. Bluetooth, i didn't checked, i had to go somewhere so i flashed back my ProUsers ROM and did a SKTools restore just now. Anyways, non working keyboard is enough reason for me to stay away from this as i cannot live without the IOLite keyboards, i do a lot of sms and email typing.

Thats what i have been saying since the development started on this. The beta builds have debug mode code with them, so they are not worth wasting the time, other than learning purpose. I'll make a true ROM only when RTM arrives. But ya, Ankit has done some good work on these Betas.
@all: For the users who are using Ramerson's kitchen for WM 6.5 ROM building, i would like to point out one thing. It uses GReloc in between the build process so the kitchen wont work like it use to.
You will first need to divide packages into smaller sub groups (in sub folder i mean) and then run a full greloc on it. If it still gives error "Integer Overflow", then dont close the Greloc window, press the Doit button once again. This time it will show you the path of the module which is causing error. Go to that module folder and delete the .tmp file there. This will be locked so you will need to use something like unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/) to unlock the file. AFter that, again press Do It button and it will do the relocating without problems. In my case the problematic file was htmlnote.dll in SYS\Redist folder.
Once i did that, old Greloc worked fine. WMreloc also works but its tricky to use it with Ramerson's kitchen and it is not bug free either. It sometimes overlaps module addresses which result in non bootable ROMs.

Flashing through SD
As you already noticed I renamed my nbh files into nikeimg.nbh instead of RUU_signed.nbh
The reason I did this is because you can now flash it through sd-card and flashing through sd-card is a saver way to flash your phone, I already did more then 100 flashes through sd-card without getting back to the original rom.
How does it work.
1. Copy the file nikeimg.nbh in the root of your sd-card.
2. Turn your device off.
3. Press camera-button and power-button on the same time, in your device you'll see "Loading.." followed by "NIKEIMG.NBH - SPLASH1 - SPLASH2 - OS -" and the message "Press power button to start update image"
4. Press powerbutton, in your device you'll see "Update in progress" after finishing, you'll see "Update Complete UPDATE SUCCESS"
5. Now do a softreset by putting the styluspen in the little hole next to the usb connection.
6. Now you're phone will do the flashing and you're done.

Great Spyke9, it doesn't matter if it is wm 6.1 or wm 6.5 it only has to be an original rom, not a cooked version, so I can see what I can use from those roms.
Already thanks man,
Greetz,
In Poland, this phone is becoming increasingly popular due to mobile network operators and their interesting promotion.
I always had a problem with the wm6.5/6.5.3 roms (lagging touch keyboard; tab manila agency problems, problems with bluetooth GPS fix to satellites, problems with displaying the start menu, etc ...)
i will flash to this rom if everything will be alright in the future and other users will no longer have trouble.
At the moment I'm using INSOMNIA rom with disabled Manila but I miss the Polish language.
Greetings and thanks for the work.
Keep it up! : D
Hi bartos6 thanks for your reply, just hoping not everyone is waiting for the final release because I need the feedback but from what I can see now is that, without Manila, we have a stable Polish rom, there are still some things that need to be translated but I'm working on that.
Greetz,
Ok small update, still working on a final release for all of you, but my kitchen chrashed that means I have to rebuild it and see what went wrong, really sorry but I hope to fix it asap and continue the Polish rom.
Greetz,
Added the final release of Twice Polish
Have fun

Glad you like it buddy and as I mentioned before couldn't do it without you
I know what you mean with showing the battery and clock on the topbar, there is a small program that is also really usefull and free, and that one works great to show the clock and the battery together, just take a look HERE.
Greetz,
Added TWINS Polish final release, have fun
Greetz,
Added Twins and Twice Czechish
Have fun, and hope to see you in Spindleruv Mlyn this winter
Great job Rataplan!! You`re the boss

After soft reset (put stylus near usb port) mobile stopped on screen with this red numbers - radio ver. etc. and sometimes turn on but mobile do HR itself
Before when mobile crashed I saw that contacts disappeared.

Hi Spyke9, I'm also using and testing my roms and I don't have that problems, from what I can read is that you flash your device from computer to device, and if you do that to often your device will act the way your device is doing now, to solve that you have to flash an original rom, after that you can install my rom's without any problems.
The only sugestion I can gave you in the future to avoid such problems is to flash with your sd-card, see my tutorial on the first page of this thread.
You can find original Niki rom's HERE thanks to Conflipper.
Succes buddy,

Hi akada, it is possible but I'm not sure if there is a cab that works on this build, because I used the latest version of manila and this size of this build is a little bit different then the oldest builds, but you can give it a try, all you have to do is search for a cab with the original manila for qvga, I know there is one.
If that doesn't work just contact me and I'll see what I can do.
Greetz,
so... i found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541750
M2d by WAlien works fine but...
but I think (maybe I'm wrong) that this ROM is totally useless...
I don't have many functions and programs (Calculator, voice recorder) I cannot set backlight and power becouse there are no such a functions in settings/system !!
I tried Twins, Tried Twice...the same... after HR...still the same - no ringtones, no usable functions of any other ROM.

Hi akada, thanks for your comment, but as I wrote on the first page it is an experimental version, the only feedback I've got is that it works well, your feedback tells me it is tottally useless , I don't speak Polish so for me it is hard to test this version, I've checked my kitchen but the files are in my kitchen but for some reason they are not in the rom.
For now I'm gonna check everything and try to come back with another release on those roms.
Thanks for your feedback.
Regards,
So... I've tested Twins EN and is great but.
I used Insomnia ROM and I can change language to Polish perfectly (using this way - http://pdaclub.pl/forum/blackstone/(spolszczenie)-blackstonehenge-5-0/) only thing which works bad in Insomnia is EZ Input KBD - is ****ty.
In Twins EN everything works fine EZ KBD works perfect (except hardware keyboard) but I cannot change language to Polish usind method above...
I don't know why.
so... I'm waiting for Twins in Polish but with full functionality I mean complete Programs and Settings menus.
I think the best ROM will be Twins in Polish but with Manila from WAlien pack.
