Welcome; I wanted to offer a little "something" back to the XDA community in the hopes that it will benefit others and to show my appreciation to the folks that make XDA the great community that it is.
There are many chefs that provide quality ROM's for you to use. However, if you've gotten excited about the idea of cooking your own ROM's, you've probably felt overwhelmed by the volume of Forum Threads and Wiki pages at your disposal to learn how to do this. The goal of this thread is to provide a starter kitchen so as to help new and intermediate chefs; the kitchen will produce a fully functional ROM for a Raphael device.
The kitchen includes a Read Me and Change Log file. The Read Me file contains answers to frequently asked questions as well as "known" issues. The Change Log file includes a list of changes that were made to files such as the .RGU, .PROVXML, etc.

Visual Kitchen
Created using Ervius Visual Kitchen 1.8.2; includes sleuth255 User Customization (UC) version 2.0. This post includes a list of packages that are included in the kitchen, a change log, and a read me file - which can also be found in the documentation folder of the kitchen. Also, take a moment to look at the Visual Kitchen Pack post, there's a list of what is included in the pack attached to the post.
WWE Visual Kitchen 6.1, OEM: 5.12.206.1 (20779), SYS: 21055, ROM: 21056/20779, 158 MB, 17.01.2010
Post-Download Instructions:
Extract the contents of kitchen archive to the root of your hard drive (ex: C:\XDA) to avoid path length errors.
Move the kitchen to the desired location.
Cooking Instructions:
Launch Erviuskitchen.exe.
Click the Load ROM button.
Select the FUZE/PRO .ERV ROM file.
Click the Create ROM button; allow the process to complete.
Wait for the Done message to appear in the Bottom Status window.
Exit the Ervius VisualKitchen application.
Tip
If the compilation is successful, the last three (3) lines in the Report window of the Ervius VisualKitchen application will display: ROM Builded successfull! Reenabling all skipped packages. All packages Reenabled. All Done.
RUU_SIGNED.NBH will be in the RELEASE_Raphael kitchen folder.
Verify the BUILD_LOG file after compiling a ROM; module entries in SLOT0 typically indicate that the stability of the device will be unpredictable; recode some modules.
The Sensor SDK 4 package provides enhanced screen rotation support; it includes a .PROVXML file that can be customized to include additional applications - Whitelist & Blacklist.
Known Issues:
Bottom of text cut-off in Connection Setup with large menu package installed.
Very Rare: Tapping Cancel on Connection Setup panel may be required if panel appears during post-ROM flash and/or Hard Reset.
Very Rare: Airplane Mode may be enabled (instead of Phone Mode) post-Hard Reset configuration phase. Pro: make setup finish faster, Con: extra tapping steps to switch Phone mode back on from Comm Manager.
Kitchen Tools Update:
Latest version of Ervius Visual Kitchen tools that have been tested with the kitchen in this post. The KITCHEN_BUILD_ROM.BAT has been updated to include logging; otherwise, the remainder of the files are those found on the Ervius Visual Kitchen thread.
None Available
Kitchen Fix Packs:
A kitchen Fix Pack addresses issues and oversights that were discovered after the release of the Visual Kitchen. The Fix Pack only contains changes to files and packages that were released as part of the kitchen. The Fix Pack does not contain changes to packages that appear in a Visual Kitchen Pack; changes/fixes for packages in a Visual Kitchen Pack will be addressed as part of a new pack.
None Available
Visual Kitchen: Application Packs
The Kitchen Application Packs includes additional applications that have been tested in the Ervius Visual Kitchen. The packages have been organized (sequenced) so as to ensure that the ROM produced by this kitchen is the same as the Package Builder (legacy) kitchen.
The pack applications have all been set to Unselected (False) - a package must be double-clicked to include the package during ROM compilation. The PACKAGES.TXT files in each PACK will overwrite the base kitchen version - providing a description for each package.
The .TXT files attached to this post contain the list of packages that are in the corresponding kitchen pack.
Visual Kitchen PACK 1, 29 MB, 13.06.2009
Visual Kitchen PACK 2, 28 MB, 13.06.2009
Visual Kitchen PACK 3, 30 MB, 26.06.2009
Visual Kitchen PACK 4, 50 MB, 16.08.2009
Visual Kitchen PACK 5, 05 MB, 16.02.2010
Post-Download Instructions:
Extract the contents of kitchen pack archive to the root of your hard drive (ex: C:\XDA) to avoid path length errors.
Copy the contents of the extracted kitchen pack to the kitchen .\EXT folder.
Tip
The archive folder structure matches the kitchen folder structure that corresponds to the build on which the package has been tested.
Use a file comparison utility to ensure that you do not lose any changes you may have made to existing packages in the kitchen.
The applications in these packs were tested using the Customized Device profile (DEVICE_CUSTOMIZED).
Recoded Modules Application Packs (Optional)
Although Windows Mobile 6.1 improved Virtual Memory (VM) by providing SLOT 60 and 61, modules can not be allocated in SLOT 60/61 - only files. Current kitchen relocation tools did not require any changes as SLOT 1 and 0 are the only slots where modules can reside. Device stability is compromised however, when there are too many modules as "spilloff" occurs into SLOT 0 resulting in reduced available memory which causes the device to report memory errors (even if it's not truly out of memory) or erratic application functionality.
RECMOD Application Packs contain versions of packages that appear in the kitchen and existing kitchen packs. These packages have had their modules recoded; the package names have _RM appended at the end of the name. When using RECMOD packages, it is important to remove the non-recoded version from the kitchen to avoid ROM compilation errors.
Visual Kitchen Recoded Modules PACK 1, 15 MB, 16.08.2009
Visual Kitchen Recoded Modules PACK 2, 05 MB, 16.02.2010
Visual Kitchen: OEM Packs
Chefs looking to simply update their existing kitchen OEM folder without having to download an entire kitchen can now do so with an OEM pack. The OEM Packs include the OEM folder for specific builds of Windows Mobile 6.1 and have been tested in the Ervius Visual Kitchen. The OEM pack also includes a corresponding optional DEVICE_* and OVERRIDE_KEYPAD_* package.
The DEVICE_* package contains all of the files that were removed from the original OEM folder. Closely examine the contents of the package before use as it contains untouched stock files that were found in the released ROM.
The OVERRIDE_KEYPAD_* package contains a copy of the the KEYPAD.DLL file from the .\OEM\OEMDrivers folder and can be used to ensure that the desired KEYPAD.DLL is installed during ROM compilation.
A text (.TXT) file appears in the .\DOCS folder of each OEM pack which details changes that have been made. As a result of a limit to the number of post attachments, only the latest versions of the OEM pack change logs have been added.
OEM: 5.12.206.1 (20779), 06 MB, 30.07.2009
OEM: 5.11.502.2 (20771), 22 MB, 30.07.2009
OEM: 5.05.405.1 (20764), 08 MB, 30.07.2009
Post-Download Instructions:
Extract the contents of OEM pack archive to the root of your hard drive (ex: C:\XDA) to avoid path length errors.
Copy the contents of the .\OEM\Raphael\.VM\ folder in the kitchen to the extracted OEM pack .\.VM\ folder (ex: C:\XDA\VISUALKITCHEN-OEM-PACK-20771\OEM\Raphael\.VM\).
Rename the existing .\OEM folder in the kitchen (ex: OEM.20771 or OEM.precopy).
Kitchen Conversion Instructions:
Copy the contents of the extracted OEM pack, which now includes the contents of the .\OEM\Raphael\.VM\ folder, to the kitchen folder (ex: C:\XDA\My_Visual_Kitchen\).
Rename the .\OEM.<buildnum> folder copied to the kitchen to .\OEM (ex: OEM.20771 to OEM).
Tip
The archive folder structure matches the kitchen folder structure of the legacy kitchen found in this thread.
Use a file comparison utility to ensure that you do not lose any changes you may have made to existing packages in the kitchen.
Note
The DEVICE_* and OVERRIDE_KEYPAD_* packages will be set to Selected (True) - a package must be double-clicked to exclude the package during ROM compilation.
Visual Kitchen: ROM/SYS Packs
The ROM/SYS Packs include the ROM and SYS folders for specific builds of Windows Mobile 6.1 and have been tested in the Ervius Visual Kitchen. The ROM/SYS also includes corresponding base ROM compilation profiles, pre-configuration (ERV) files, that have been tested in the kitchen.
Chefs will find untouched versions of the base XIP.BIN and OS.NB.PAYLOAD (no imgfs) as well as the donor XIP.BIN and OS.NB.PAYLOAD (no imgfs) - when available.
A text (.TXT) file appears in the .\DOCS folder of each ROM/SYS pack which details changes that have been made. As a result of a limit to the number of post attachments, only the latest versions of ROM/SYS pack change logs have been added.
SYS 21056, ROM: 21056/20779, 37 MB, 17.01.2010
SYS 21056, ROM: 21056/20771, 37 MB, 17.01.2010
SYS 21056, ROM: 21056/20764, 37 MB, 17.01.2010
Post-Download Instructions:
Extract the contents of ROM/SYS archive to the root of your hard drive (ex: C:\XDA) to avoid path length errors.
Rename the existing .\OEM\Rapheal\.VM folder in the kitchen (ex: .VM.20771 or .VM.precopy).
Backup the existing .\ROM\Raphael\ files (.TXT, .BIN. PAYLOAD) in the kitchen. The files to backup are:
INFO.TXT
OS.NB.PAYLOAD
ROMHDR.BIN
XIP.BIN
Kitchen Conversion Instructions:
Copy the contents of the extracted ROM/SYS pack to the kitchen folder (ex: C:\XDA\My_Visual_Kitchen\).
Tip
The archive folder structure matches the kitchen folder structure of the visual kitchen found in this thread.
Use a file comparison utility to ensure that you do not lose any changes you may have made to existing packages in the kitchen.
Note
.NET Compact Framework (NetCF) is a merged version of 2.0 & 3.5.
The following applications have been removed from the SYS folder and placed in the kitchen EXT folder; they are also available in an Application Pack and the Package Repository noted in the first post of this thread.
- Auto Data Config (ADC)
- Adobe Flash
- Infrared Data port (IrDA)
- Live Search
- Modem Link
- Remote Desktop Mobile
- Voice Command (MSVC)
- Voice Over IP (VoIP)
- Windows Live (MSN)
- Windows Media Player (WMP)
Emulator
Da_G,
Thanks for the kitchen.
Just wonder if there's any good ROM emulator to test any mod before flashing into a real life device?
This will hopefully prevent bad ROM and bricking phone.
With HardSPL, you stand little chance of bricking the phone, you can always return to bootloader and flash a working ROM. But as to an emulator, yes there is one, but it does not emulate the hardware the Raphael has, so for that purpose it would not work, none of the drivers would load up and the emulator would not boot. You would have to create a special version without drivers - but then, you aren't really testing the important part As long as you have HardSPL, you can flash without worry.
As for a guide to mashing things up before cooking, i'm putting together a large collection of packages.. choosing what you want in the ROM will be as simple as checking boxes.. as far as editing the registry goes, you need a program that can open/save in unicode.. i personally use EmEditor..
Thanks Da_G. This one is working great. I checked with base OEM/ROM/SYS folders. If I want to include any cab files how can I include them? I tried to copy a cab file in packages folder and it didn't pick up. Is there any thing I need to do? Actually my idea was to include some cab files in the rom instead of using UC while flashing.
Thanks
You have to convert the cabs to packages first.

You're the man I wait with great patience going to also try the idiots guide as well as building in PPCKitchen as we speak I've had some issue getting the ROM to build... do I need Visual Studio as my backend dev box? I have 2003 Visual Studio but I'm thinking I need a newer version as for EmEditor; I'll grab that too. Thanks for the coaching, I hope to churning the buttah lik you my friend lol.
You need the .NET 3.5 runtime for windows (not .NET CF 3.5 for windows mobile), you can find it at microsoft's site. I believe that's the only requirement for the apps in the kitchen to run..
I'm about half-way done on the packages, archive is only 55mb so far.. gonna post a pre on my ROM thread since it's based on my ROM.
Thanks a bunch Da_G! I feel tempted to cook something. Do you also have a package that can give a man more time? Now THAT would be useful!
No packages for more time, sorry

Quick question - why don't you use original Diamond package (called "PACKAGE_Diamond_PhoneCanvas_Slider") for S2A taken from 2.03 Diamond rom? - it's working perfectly in my PROven
Dunno, figured there was some issue with it? I don't use it.. when i tested it shortly it seemed to work fine, is there a difference from the package I posted?
I've updated several of the packages in the kitchen with new builds from the just-released diamond gsm rom, and added a couple more new packages. still no scripting to select the os version you want, but it'll come
On my way out the door, so no time to upload now.. hopefully tonight Gonna test them while i'm out.
Da_g kitchen works great still don't know what I'm doing or what's going but how do I change manila's and stuff? I want to use the confuzed backgrounds and colorings.
Thanks!
The easiest way to do that is to ask monx if he can share his customized packages, you can then just drop them in the \Packages folder and select them (providing he has made an option.xml to go with it)

BsB RAM Sweeper 2.1
The well-know application BsB RAM Sweeper from Makeveral;
Now in his 2.1 version improved for new devices like HD2 and many others.
What it does?
Clean RAM and improve your system performance, cleaning the cache and stop/kill second and useless process.
Without interface, RAM Sweeper work silently. A progress bar will be displayed and when it finish, a notification tells you the total memory gained.
(This can be manually enable or disable from registry)
A configurable file 'RAMSweeper.txt' to add more process as Exception or set new entries to Execute when it's finish.
How it works?
Instead of ending the process from a blacklist to gain some RAM, this will kill everything except the processes that are included in the ramsweeper.txt file (white list), this way you will gain the max possible RAM.
I've also included an option to run any program with optional parameters after every RAM sweep.
And a registry key to enable or disable the notification when is finish.
Configuring RAM Sweeper
RAMSweeper.txt is located at \%ProgramFiles%\RAM Sweeper directory and it contains the white list, the format of this files is very easy:
Code:
EXC process.exe -> will add process.exe to the white list (process won't be killed)
RUN "apppath" -> will run the defined program after a RAM sweep
RUN "apppath" Parameter -> will run the defined program with the defined parameter
Here is an example of each possible commands:
Code:
EXC RAM Sweeper.exe
RUN "\Windows\Linterna.exe"
RUN "\Internal Storage\Program files\ssmaho\SSMaPaT2.exe" \ssmaho.config --hook
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not leave empty lines at the end in the RAMSweeper.txt file!!!
IMPORTANT NOTE 2: EXC entries, only include the name of the process with its extension.
IMPORTANT NOTE 3:RUN entries, include the full path of the process to run
To enable or disable the end notification, just modify this entry.
Code:
[B]SHOW NOTIFICATION:[/B] HKLM/Software/BsB/RAM Sweeper/HideNotification = 0
[B]HIDE NOTIFICATION:[/B] HKLM/Software/BsB/RAM Sweeper/HideNotification = 1

BsB RAM Sweeper Configuration Tool
RAM Sweeper Configuration Tool [Beta 1.3]
Script tool by Gmo.-, based in MortScript application,
to completely configure the 'BsB RAM Sweeper' application.
What does this do?
Configure RAM Sweeper to autorun in specific 'user input' interval of time.
Change notification status easily.
Add new entries to RAMSweeper.txt file (EXC or RUN commands) selecting files from a tree list.
Backup and Restore RAMSweeper.txt file. (Very usefull if you change ROM constantly XD)
If you add a new entry, it will check first to avoid duplicates entries.
To preserve Battery, auto repeat will automatic turn it off, if you are on Battery power supply and you have less than 10% of battery.
If auto repeat is running and you have a call, auto repeat automaticaly will wait to the next interval of time, so your call will not be interrupted. (not working yet, but the call isn't interrupt anyway)
And much more… Try yourself XD
How it works?
It's all based in mortscript, so basically, it's run a script and follow orders to do what you want to configure and personalize a lot of thing for RAM Sweeper.
All is automatic through menus and user input windows.
Here you have a complete list of all menus and a little explanation of what it does:
RS Config Tool Main Menu
» RUN RAM Sweeper Now!
Run RAM Sweeper inmediatly and close Config Tool.
» Config AutoRun options
» Set new time interval
Displays a text entry window, so you can specify the time in minutes to auto repeat 'RAM Sweeper' in automatic mode.
» Start Auto repeat
If you already set a interval of time, it will start the proccess.
» Stop Auto repeat
If Autorepeat is running, this will close and stop the proccess.
« Back to Main Menu
Go back to Main Menu
» Change notification status
If the notification is already in visible mode, give you the choice to disable.
If the notification is already in hidden mode, give you the choice to enable.
NOTE: The notification status is only active when you manualy run 'RAM Sweeper'. In autorun mode, the notification are automaticaly disable before run, and will be back to the previus state after finish.
» Manage Exception list
» Add new EXC entry
Displays a file selection window, to introduce a new entry as a Exception, in the 'RAMSweeper.txt' file automaticly.
» Add new RUN entry
Displays a file selection window, for automatic introduce a new entry as a RUN command in the RAMSweeper.txt file. Also give you the chance to add a specific parameter to the file.
» Backup your TXT file
Save a copy of your actual 'RAMSweeper.txt' file, to the folder of your choice.
» Restore your TXT file
Restore a previus saved copy of your 'RAMSweeper.txt' file. You have to select a folder, so you can have more than one backup, and import only the one you want.
» View TXT content
Displays in a message windows, all the content of your 'RAMSweeper.txt' file, so you can see if you have or not a specific proccess in the list.
NOTE: The Config Tool will autodetect if a proccess is already in the list, to avoid duplicates entries.

What is the difference between cleanRAM (senior RAM cleaner) to your software ?
Thanx mate great work.
This is excellent. Have always considered this the best ram cleaner due to it compact size and simple options.

Thanks... but remember!, the config tool it's still in Beta.
I will remove the Beta... maybe in the next version... (only If no big bug reported) At least at the moment... so far, so good.
(Any way, even if you install together or as individual cab's, any update, will replace the corresponding files, so there should be no problem.)

Thanks... but... could you be more specific... exactly not working properly is...
Main application, configuration tool, the auto repeat function, etc, etc.
Do not forget that the Ram Sweeper app. must be 'personalized' if you needed.
In the exception list provided with the txt file, you will find the 'most comun' proccess, but if you need to add a specific proccess to work ok with your rom, you need to add this proccess to the list... otherwise you get a hang!
Do a soft reset and take a look to your active proccess list and check one by one.. it must be one of them that is missing in the txt file.

EDIT: Looks like, Make already know the problem and is working on it!... we can expected a new version soon with the problem fixed
Thanks to Tiger22, now we have a German version of Config Tool.
you can download from >here<.
Thanks again for the translation!
(just copy/replace original files in the instalation dir.)
Where to install CABS (ram sweeper, config. tool and mortscript)? internal memory or in microSD too?
At the moment i installed only RAM sweeper in internal memory and seems to works fine and without any issue.
Thanks for your work!
MortScript i would install into phone memory, because this should run even when there is no SD card inside... i use this as well for the WiFi on Standby...
The config tool, i think you can install on SD because this is not needed for runing the sweeper...
ach to bad but this doesn't work on my i900 omnia ... i added all my EXC system files and all RUN from my autostart windows folder ...
When i execute a RAM Sweeper my omnia jammed :/ I must SR :/
tried to open config tool after installing but had an error message (something like it can't find the path)

Note on development...
I have a development version which I've been working on which can do a lot more with the facebook api, however it is far from complete or bug free, but it was able to post comments, read all the status updates/wall posts of all your friends etc etc. I was also playing around with different GUI aspects but I hit several limits with the Sense SDK I was using etc.
Anyway, basically I've not had any time to look at it for the last few months, and the best course of action is to scrap it and let the XdaFacebook App team use the ties I was planning to use to link the tab to an application. Hopefully I can get a few of my ideas and suggestions put into the app, so the vision I had for the tab can still be realised. Since I'm not using facebook that much at the moment, I think this is the best way for the tab to move forward and provide more for everyone.
Hopefully as my work on the RSSTab continues, the main core of the Facebook tab (the HTC engine) can be replaced by the XdaFacebook app, so all the data in the tab can be populated directly from the same source. Although this will be a while off, this will be the best solution in the end.
Donations
PayPal:
if you use the facebook tab and would like my work to continue
I purposely did not include a donate button on the 1st release since although I had made several changes to the tab a lot of it was purely HTC functionality (and it would have been hard to understand what was my own work and what HTC have already included).
I did not feel it was fair to ask for donations where my own work on it was not clear.
However, since the 1st release I have been working very hard on this project, I have spent many hours/days/weeks testing and experimenting with the facebook api and with ensuring that the new additions will work not only on my device but will function for everyone (believe me it's a frustrating task).
So if you like using the tab (or if I've helped you get it working), and if you feel my work deserves it then please make a small donation, even if it's a few cents (even a tiny bit shows your appreciation).
Any donations will be spent on things to help me focus on developing the tab further, first up is a new battery (only $15!) as my phone has suffered from the many resets it has taken to test the sense code so far, so I really need to get a backup one. Hopefully that isn't a huge ask.
New phone battery is on it's way, many thanks to the total of 3 detonator so far. Next up, although I'm not confident on this one, is a battery for my laptop so I can program without being tethered to a power socket (and losing my work when it disconnects - have about 10 seconds before it dies). Again, I plan to get it from a cheep place so it's not too expensive, just something which only needed for this hobby.
It all shows that my work means something.
Information on the facebook api
When I started looking into the facebook api (something I said I wouldn't do I know) I discovered "Facebook Developer Toolkit", excellent I thought, my work is done, plug it in and away we go.
However, investigating further Microsoft had taken over the toolkit, the compact framework (as used by Windows Mobile) had been dropped (since Jan 14 2008) and they are only just building SilverLight support into it (windows phone 7). Add to that, facebook have introduced the GraphApi which replaces the Api implemented in the Jan 2008 build (and I don't think it's in the current Tookkit yet).
You might guess the next bit, after a lot of work, I have the outline of my own Fb Graph Api support. The next release shall be the foundation point of this work, if successful the remainder of my test code can be built in (but I didn't want to delay things any longer and I needed to see if it works on-mass first).
It has taken a lot to get it to this point - my only other windows mobile app was "Hello Worlde" so once again I have been starting from scratch and learning A LOT:
I hope you enjoy my hard work.
This release is to bring the general release up to speed with my current work, it may not appear to be significant in added functionality but believe me it is the stepping stone required for what comes next...
Information on the tab.
The origins of the facebook tab is the relocation of the HTC People Update's tab which is built into sense already. The mod originally moved this functionality into the main tabs and added a few extra features, therefore enabling everyone to enjoy the built in facebook functionality without hunting to find it, but also enjoy the excellent features HTC had already integrated.
Since then, I've been working hard to extend the features which the tab provides, improve the options for how things are displayed and allow easy configuration. Overtime, more features will be included and hopefully support for external apps perhaps.
Please don't badger for specific facebook features, I'm well aware I can't do comments, pokes, likes, notifications etc etc, but the current release is a huge step toward that and hopefully it will come in time.
Read and understand the above information before asking for features, but this is what I still hope to do (again don't post asking for them if it's on this list!).
To Do
192X version See patch in post below
Stage 2 of Facebook Api
[*]Use extra space at top of landscape mode
Include sense language selection HKCU\MUI\CurLang
Handle senseSDK version exception
[*]Support non-standard chars on Status Update post to facebook
[*]Remove item list scroll lag
Development Progress
[MOD][SENSE2.5TAB] Facebook Tab - Developer Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663494
Note:
The development work is on going and I will release the next version when there is something essential and must-have implemented.
I would rather spend time developing new features than releasing tiny updates of little significance.
Known Issues
Will not work on manila 2.5.1921xxxx or lower (and some ROMs) - use 192x Install Patch (see Install post#3)!
It seems there are two versions of the facebook engine and the older one (used by 2.5.192x and some other ROMs) the 0DE73B01_manila file is smaller (~41k) than the newer version (~47k).
If you have the older version (small file), then you must use the 192x version of the tab or the tab will be un-usable and crash sense.
Info for cooks
See section "Can we cook this in a ROM?" in post #2 for EXT file etc.

Warnings etc
Modifying manila means various levels of messing around with the files on the device so, as with most of the mods on here, back-up often and be prepared to screw it up and hard-reset your device. All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.

Facebook Tab Settings v1.6
The settings page is split into 5 main sections.
If any settings are adjusted, the user will be able to apply the settings from this page or to discard the changes.
The exception is within the Facebook Api Settings page where the authorisation keys are stored as soon as they are obtained.
Selection between normal and advanced settings (A) are set by the "Enable Advanced Settings" checkbox within the Advanced setting section.
Note: Any changes to any Advanced settings may cause issues with the operation of the tab if done incorrectly, so make sure you understand the purpose of these settings before you change them. They are marked as Advanced settings for a reason!
1 - Data Connections
Normal(1) Advanced(2)
Enable auto update timer[]
- Enable this setting if you wish the tab to automatically update for the specified period (this is independent of the HTC Download data automatically setting below).
Update internal in mins XX
- Period before automatic update occurs. Note: This appears only to run when the tab is selected, timer is reset on entry to the tab. Range is currently limited to 1-99 mins.
Download data when roaming
- I've not tested this much (I keep my data connections disabled). This setting controls if data connections should be allowed when roaming (not sure if that's general mobile connections via GPRS & 3G or when you are not on your foreign cell network). This setting is the setting available in the old HTC setting page.
(A) Download data automatically
- HTC 2 hour automatic update of the facebook data. Included in case you need to disable it (this runs independently from the above update timer).
2 - App & Web Shortcuts
Normal(1) Advanced(2&3)
Select Facebook Application
- Select which application is launched via Menu->Facebook App. Also selects which item to edit/delete in advanced mode.
Select Facebook Webpage:
- Select which webpage is launched via Menu->Facebook Online. Also selects which item to edit/delete in advanced mode.
(A) Delete Selected Application/Webpage
- removes the selected item from the list
(A) Edit Selected Application/Webpage
- Opens up the edit page for the current item (see below)
(A) Add New Application/Webpage
- Opens up the add new item page (see below)
Edit/Add Application(1) Edit/Add Webpage(2)
(A) Add/Edit Application/Webpage
(A) Display Name
- sets the name to use in setting page to refer to the application/webpage
(A) Shortcut
- the url/file path can be edited here directly.
(A) Browse to path (applications only)
- Opens the select file page to allow you to browse to and select the required exe.
Note: When you have selected the exe file by pressing it, "Select" will appear as the bottom right soft-key. You can "Select" the exe or "Cancel" if you wish.
(A) Additional arguments
- Some applications/pages may support additional arguments, which can be added here.
3 - Facebook Api Settings
Normal (Internal Authorisation Method)(1) Normal (External Authorisation Method)(2)
Note: Unlike the other settings pages, changes made the authorisation key are saved directly to the registry.
The authorisation here is only for the new functionality of the tab, in order to populate the friends list and get status updates you will still need to authorise the "HTC Sense" application via the Setting Tab -> Data Services.
If you do not wish to use the new functionality and the "HTC FbTab" application, then check the "Disable prompt for authorisation []" checkbox to avoid being asked to authorise the application. You will not be able to post updates via the tab without authorising first.
Due to issues with the authorisation methods with facebook, two options are provided to ensure this application will work with as many people as possible.
Option 1:
Use internal authorisation
- This uses an internal browser to display the authorisation page from facebook and allows you to login and authorise the application permissions. This should be the simplest method for most users, press Authorise and follow the prompts to authorise the HTC FbTab used for posting status messages directly from the tab.
Don't forget you will need to be connected to the internet and be able to access the facebook website from your connection.
Option 2:
Use external authorisation (Use default browser & paste code)
- On some devices the internal browser fails to work correctly, hence this method will launch your default browser (i.e. Opera) and navigate directly to facebook to authorise the "HTC FbTab" application.
Don't forget you will need to be connected to the internet and be able to access the facebook website from your connection.
1. You should login and authorise the application permissions.
2. Once you have authorised the application, you then need to Copy the url (either the whole thing or the part including "code=...", as long as you have at least the "code=..." to the end it will work). In Opera you can do this by pressing and holding on the url (if unselected it will default to copying the whole url).
3. Once you have copied the code into the clipboard, return to the settings page and press "Paste & Authorise".
The settings page will then use the code and authorise the application.
Remove Authorisation:
- This will remove the authorisation from the registry.
Note: If you want to fully remove the authorisation you will need to remove it directly from the your facebook account settings, via the Application Settings page.
Advanced (Internal Authorisation Method)(1) Advanced (External Authorisation Method)(2)
(A) Advanced Api settings (applies to both methods):
Note: These settings will default back to the original settings when the settings page is closed. This ensures the best settings are selected each time, unless the user specifically desires otherwise.
(A) Select authorisation page format
- Determines the format of the page facebook provides for authorisation. At times some pages may not be available, also some work better with the internal browser than others. You should only need to change this if you have a problem.
(A) Application Permissions
- Allows you to enable/disable the permissions you allow the "HTC FbTab" application to have. All are set to enable, since you will probably want to give the app permissions, but I want to provide the choice.
(A) Status Update
- Clearly you will need this if you wish to post updates from the tab.
(A) Offline Access
- Without this the permission will only last until you log out of facebook. Unlikely you would want to disable this option.
(A) Read Feeds
- This permission is not currently used by the application, however, it will be in later releases so if left enabled you can keep your current authorisation for later releases.
4 - File Path Settings
Normal(1) Advanced(2&3)
Hide facebook events
- Disables events being shown on the facebook tab.
Note: Events for the current day are still shown.
Event Notice Period (days)
- Specify the number of days before an event is due to occur before it is displayed on the tab.
Facebook Utility:
- In normal mode, this is read-only (Advanced mode you can edit it directly). If the stored path does not match the location of the FacebookUtil.exe, then a button shall be displayed to update it. If this is not set correctly, the tab will not open the settings pages or status update pages correctly, so it is important if you move FacebookUtil.exe, you run it from it's new location and update this item.
(A) Location of facebook profile pictures:
- For info only, this is a fixed location defined by the HTC dll.
(A) Location of facebook albums:
- Defines where the pictures are stored when you view people's facebook albums via the HTC tab's subpage "Updated Album" or "Open Online Album" links.
(A) Browse to path:
- Allows you to browse to a specific path to update the above location. "Select" appears when you are able to select the current folder.
(A) My Status Transfer Method
(A) Use Facebook Utility
- Allows you to define which method is used to copy the registry item which holds your most recent status update. You should only need to change this if you experience problems or slow response on the tab (this is less important on v1.6 since this is not run as often).
(A) Browse to path:
- Allows you to browse to a specific path to update the above location. "Select" appears when you are able to select the current exe.
(A) Additional arguments
- If required for the selected method.
eg.
Using Mortscript
App: \Windows\mortscript.exe
Argument: \Windows\FacebookStatusScript.mscr
Using FacebookStatusUpdate.exe
App: \Windows\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe
Argument: blank
(A) MS Facebook Application
(A) Cache location
- Allows you to change where the MS facebook application caches it's data
(A) Days to clear Cache:
- Number of days before MS facebook application the cache is cleared. (Limit 1-99 days).
5 - Advanced
Enable Advanced Settings
- Allows (A) advanced settings to be seen.
Note: Any changes to any Advanced settings may cause issues with the operation of the tab if done incorrectly, so make sure you understand the purpose of these settings before you change them. They are marked as Advanced settings for a reason!
Language Setting
Note:
The language settings here are independent of your language settings for sense itself.
Use device language
- The settings page will detect the devices language and use the correct language file if present. Otherwise it will default to UK English.
Application language setting:
- You can select a different language for the settings pages here. You will need to ensure you have the correct language file within your windows folder, otherwise the selection will be rejected.
If the file is reported as invalid, then there is probably an error in the xml formatting (you can double check the file by naming it .xml and opening via internet explorer).

FAQ
When I scroll to the tab, sense freezes and it is un-usable
It seems there are two versions of the facebook engine and the older one (used by 2.5.192x and some other ROMs) the 0DE73B01_manila file is smaller (~41k) than the newer version (~47k).
If you have the older version (small file), then you must use the 192x version of the tab or the tab will be un-usable and crash sense (see the FAQ It doesn't work for Manila 192X? below).
Tab freezes on 1st update and is unstable
I've found this sometimes occurs if you have restored your contacts after flashing a ROM (so you have lots of links which need updating all at once), although it may only occur on some ROMs [however I've found the people tab has the same problem, so it related to the HTC built in functions].
Ideally:
Setup the HTC facebook link and perform the 1st update without your contacts restored.
Otherwise:
Remove the links (via the contact card in the people tab)
Perform the update (from within the People Updates tab might also help)
After update has finished, it'll probably list the contact matches it finds again (don't forget to manually link any you linked manually before)
This way the when the links are re-added info like the contact pictures etc are already downloaded (done during the link process) and the process probably uses less resources.
From that point on, it is improved.
Menu item X does not work (i.e Settings)
Make sure you run "FacebookUtil.exe" from where-ever you installed it and update the "Facebook Utility Path" as described in the manual install sections.
Launch App/Web does not work (i.e. I get a Certificate error)
Make sure you have the application installed and the link is correct. Use the advanced (A) settings within the "File Path Settings" section of the settings page.
Updates were working, but have since stopped, how to do I get them working again?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9688442&postcount=1375
(Thanks to Yusuke14 for confirming this solution)
1. Remove the registry keys located in:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager\Facebook**** keys.
2. Via Settings tab on Sense, within the Data Services option, re-enter your facebook info
I can't see any updates from my friends!
You can create blank contacts with the facebook names as the contact name without a phone number or anything and it should still pick up and prompt for the links automatically.
You can even link any contact manually to a particular facebook contact via "Edit Contact" -> Facebook Link (Associate with Facebook Account) at the bottom bit of the contact editor.
Also you will need to sign into facebook via HTC first, before any contacts will be linked, it should prompt you to do this if you haven't already when you refresh (i.e. via People Page, Updates&Events page or your settings tab Data Services).
Remember though, if the person has privacy settings set high within their facebook account, you may not see updates from them (this is a limit of the HTC code).
It appears the HTC updates only go back so far in time so really old updates don't appear and it does not support non-text updates either (so url links etc are not shown).

skyli91: You can link facebook to someone pretty fast if you go to Updates and Events in his/her Details page and here, the phone suggests some FB friends from the contact's name.
Agent Zach: You could link all of your contacts manually if the tab isn't giving you the option to do so.
Contacts Tab > All People > [Pick a Contact] > Edit Contact > Link
And if you want to Update the Status', etc.. the HTC way (outside of the Facebook Tab), in your contacts list, slide over to Updates & Events, click Menu, and click "Update Now".
It doesn't work for Manila 192X & some versions of sense?
There are two versions of the files which drive this tab, the tab is based on the later one. So if the tab does not work after you install it you may have the older version...
- Locate 0de73b01_manila in your windows folder.
IF the filesize is around 41Kb then you have the older 192x files and you require the patch.
IF the filesize is around 47Kb then you have the newer 2010 files and you do NOT require the patch (your problem is somewhere else).
DO NOT INSTALL THE PATCH IF YOUR FILE VERSION IS NOT CORRECT
To install the patch follow instructions in the install post#3 below.
Why is the install so complicated?
The install is complicated since the tab control file contains references to each available tab on your device. Every ROM has a different combination of tabs available and so this file is different for each ROM. If you install a copy of the Tab Control file which includes tabs which aren't on your device, manila will not work, if you install one which doesn't include all the tabs on your device, those tabs won't be available any more.
Many many people have managed to install the tab, through various ways, so there are plenty of people here who will help you out. Obviously make sure you have plenty of time available, just in case. Please keep backups of your tab control file (26948339_manila) as this will help you if you run into trouble.
Can we cook this in a ROM?
Yes, files will hopefully be provided for that within the thread (and I am happy for it to be included).
If you don't know what to do with EXT files (like me) then don't use them!

Dual Cab Upgrade using Separate Cabs [meltwater_FbTabV1.6(SeperateCabs)-2.zip]
UPGRADING (note there is nothing different to v1.6):
If you already have the tab installed, then you can use either cab package, however instead of Adding the tab, you will need to "Reset Sense" - Del ManilaFull.xml either from SenseUtil or manually (stop sense, delete the file from windows and restart sense).
FAQ: My ROM shows double tab icons when selected (typically applies to NRG ROMs)
A: Delete or rename 1F04C842_manila in windows, this file is not required for your ROM. You will then need to "Reset Sense".
B]Latest version of Sense Util is available here
Captain Throwback's Cab Install Instructions:
Captain Throwback's Cab Install
Disable Sense from Today items.
Install CAB [Attached to post#1 - meltwater HTC FbTab v1.6.cab] (this will create a shortcut to "FixStartManila" in your Start Menu)
Tap "FixStartManila" to run it. It will likely seem like nothing happened.
Tap "FixStartManila" a second time. This time, you will likely see the wait cursor, which will stay for 10 seconds or so.
Re-enable Sense in Today items.
Done!
Please make sure you follow the instructions for the cab, and particularly if you uninstall (there are extra steps need afterwards compared to a normal cab).
Captain Throwback's Cab Un-Install
To Uninstall:
Disable Sense
uninstall the CAB
run "T-Back Remove Facebook Tab.cab" (Attached to this post) to restore Sense to it's original state (either that ,or you can download FixStartManila from the GPS Tab thread see Manila Sense Fix section below)
When you re-enable Sense, you should be without FB tab (note that if you've installed other tabs since flashing your ROM, they will not show up using my CAB - in that case, I recommend MoonNah's CAB).
Manual Install/Un-install Instructions:
v1.6 Manual New Install Instructions
Warnings etc
Modifying manila means various levels of messing around with the files on the device so, as with most of the mods on here, back-up often and be prepared to screw it up and hard-reset your device. All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE TAB ALREADY INSTALLED.
If you do not have the tab installed then you shall need to ensure the tab control file is updated correctly to allow sense to include it.
Download the manual install package from post #1.
Disable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items.
Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
Extract the files from the folder "TabFiles\Windows\" to the windows directory on your device. Plus ensure you copy "Facebook_Pages.xml" to "\Windows\ManilaXml".
Update your tab control file (26948339_manila) from \Windows folder:
The files may be hidden system files (may need to enable viewing of system hidden files to find them). Keep an original copy of your 26948339_manila file (i.e copy as 26948339_manila_backup).
Scott8813's tutorial show's the steps required to edit the tab control file in more detail if you are unsure on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6004802&postcount=216)
Edit your tab control file (26948339_manila) from your \windows\ directory (you can use the example in the zip file \tabcontrol\ as a guide, use a UTF-16 Compatible Editor such as Notepad2 or Programmers Notepad.
a) Insert the following text, between the other "pages" defined, replacing the X with suitable number (re-numbering the others as required to avoid duplicated numbers):
Code:
<Page Order="X" Name="facebook.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[Facebook]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\facebook.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
b) Copy back completed file to your device \windows\ directory
Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Import the registry entries from appFacebook.reg file into your devices registry.
Note: You may need adjust the default path settings for the example application links etc to match the applications you have installed and their locations.
Extract the "FacebookUtil" folder to "Program Files\FacebookUtil" (I would recommend on your device rather than storage card).
Run "FacebookUtil.exe", from where you've copied it to and Update the Facebook Utility's "Stored Path to Current" within the "File Path Settings" page, and "Apply" the change.
Re-enable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items (it will take a little longer than normal to re-start the 1st time).
Enjoy. (Don't forget to authorise to allow Updating of your status).
v1.6 Manual 192x Patch Install Instructions
There are two versions of the files which drive this tab, the tab is based on the later one. So if the tab does not work after you install it you may have the older version...
Check the version of the files you have:
- Locate 0de73b01_manila in your windows folder.
IF the filesize is around 41Kb then you have the older 192x files and you require the patch.
IF the filesize is around 47Kb then you have the newer 2010 files and you do NOT require the patch (your problem is somewhere else).
DO NOT INSTALL THE PATCH IF YOUR FILE VERSION IS NOT CORRECT
Patch the install:
Install the tab as normal (see above - via cab or manually).
Download the attached zip file:
192xFbTabPatchRelease
Disable sense
Replace the 090EF4F3_manila in the windows/ folder with the one in the zip file.
Replace the Facebook_Pages.xml in windows/ManilaXml/ folder with the one in the zip file [note this file is universal so later releases will include the updated version of this file already].
Delete manilafull.xml from the windows/ folder.
Restart sense.
To un-install follow the same instructions as for v1.6 normal installation.
Note:
Not all the functions of the normal tab are available in this version (i.e. Expand/Collapse View has been removed).

All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
The easiest and safest option is to simply disable the tab via Settings, Home Screen Tabs. This will stop the tab being run and will have no further impact on sense.
In order to remove all the facebook tab related stuff you will need to follow all the steps:
Disable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items.
Edit your tab control file to remove the following section of code (be sure to renumber the items). Or simply replace the tab control file (26948339_manila) with the backup you made before you installed the tab.
Code:
<Page Order="X" Name="facebook.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[Facebook]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\facebook.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Delete the following files from "\\windows\":
05FF1072_manila
06C09C86_manila
090EF4F3_manila
1F04C842_manila
33A980DD_manila

Delete the following files from "\\windows\ManilaXml":
Facebook_Pages.xml
Delete the "FacebookUtil" directory from "\\Program Files\" or where-ever you installed it.
Using a registry editor, you can safely delete the following entries (although they will do no real harm if left there):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Facebook.LaunchAppSel"
"Facebook.LaunchAppNameXX"
"Facebook.LaunchAppXX"
"Facebook.LaunchAppArgsXX"
"Facebook.LaunchWebSel"
"Facebook.LaunchWebNameXX"

"Facebook.AutoUpdateInterval"
"Facebook.AccessToken"
"Facebook.AccessTokenPermission"
"Facebook.ExpandView"
"Facebook.FbApiExe"
"Facebook.FileDialogLastPath"
"Facebook.LangFile"
Note: Some "Facebook.xxxxx" entries will remain (they are also used by the people update tab, so I would recommend you keep them).
Re-enable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items (it will take a little longer than normal to re-start the 1st time).
If sense does not start, double check your tab control file (26948339_manila) edit and perform steps 1, 3, 9 again. Otherwise, refer to "Manila Sense Fix" section below.
Problems?
Unable to authorise?
Facebook has altered the authorisation slightly, so manual paste method needs a little extra care (details here - Thanks to Nullstring).
Basically, facebook has added "#_=_" at the end, which you must remove for the app to extract the required authorisation code from the rest of the url.
Manila Sense Fix - Sense is not starting after install/uninstall
If you run into problems with Sense not starting then there are three things you can do.
1. Run moonnah's B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab from the following thread (this should fix any problems with your tab control file):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116
2. Delete the tab control file (26948339_manila) & "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" and restart your device. Sense will take a while to regenerate so please wait.
3. Post your tab control file (26948339_manila) on the thread and we shall correct any problems and repost it.
Reset Manila Sense - Sense didn't regenerate correctly
Disable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items.
Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Re-enable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items (it will take a little longer than normal to re-start the 1st time).
Cooking issue - Exception when running facebook.exe for the 1st time
This can occur if the ROM includes an older version of the senseSDK dlls than the ones used by the exe (v1.39) - typically CHTE.
Ensure you only have the latest versions of the following files (provided by with the tab):
sensesdk.resources.qvga.dll
sensesdk.resources.vga.dll
stedysoft.sensesdk.dll
Missing menu items after upgrade
Right-hand menu should include the following items:
NEW - Update Status
Facebook App
Facebook Online
NEW - Expand/Collapse View
Settings
If they aren't shown up, ensure you have followed the steps which reset Sense correctly (2,4 & 7 of Manual Upgrade Instructions).
Language Files
Language Files
This release requires updated language files (mainly to support the settings pages).
Please note:
If you are editing the tab control file (26948339_manila) or language files, it is recommended you use an editor which supports the following format:
Line Endings:Unix(LF)
Encoding:UTF-16 Little Endian
Editors such as Programmers Notepad and Notepad2 appear to work well.
To create a language file you need to determine the manila name (using ManilaHash.exe (part of the Manila kitchen package), file-names are listed below):
1. Make a copy of the original base file for your language, with the correct language manila filename.
2. Look at the Facebook tab specific files and add the new entries, with translations as you wish (Make sure you use UTF-16 Compatible Editor)
Sense requires the following file format:
Line Endings:Unix(LF)
Encoding:UTF-16 Little Endian
3. Upload to this thread, and it will be added to the list.
[Note:The tab name "Facebook" is specified in the Tab Control file (26948339_manila), since it didn't appear to be set correctly via the language file, but can change it there if you wish.]

To Do - if Possible
Read and understand the above information before asking for features, but this is what I still hope to do (again don't post asking for them if it's on this list!).
Directly update own status
Allow view of full status text, either bigger space, expand on selection or ticker tape
Update settings page to include things set in registry (Auto Update time etc)
Links to albums
Replacement of mortscript with an exe file (with thanks to johncmolyneux)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a great idea, don't know why HTC decided to do their facebook integration the way they did and not treat Twitter the same way (using the people tab). Couldn't you hook into the data and functions of the facebook tab from HTC's interface and not require mortscript/external exe?

It's a limitation of what is in manila, you can only read from "HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila", unless you are only after a int value.
All the script does (or exe), is the following:
Code:
RegReadString("HKLM", "Software\HTC\FacebookSDK","Status",myStoredStatus)
RegWriteString("HKCU","Software\HTC\Manila","Facebook.MyStatus",myStoredStatus)
Not all the facebook function is within the manila files, some appears to be within ContactEditor.exe which only takes two different arguments from the scripts to get to new/specific Contact Detail Pages, then its internal to the ContactEditor.exe from there (that appears to also include "Update My Status"! ).
Not saying it can't be done, but it's a simple workaround to release it today.
Hmmmm for some reason, I cannot make this to work with my manila2.5_20121324 version...still playing with this...so we will see..thanks for your effort.
Got it installed all ok, but when I go onto the tab it crashes and freezes sense, have to restrat to get control back, but if i go onto the tab again, does the same.

Ok will try to remember if/why it occurred for me during development, 1st thought is error in your tab control file. Perhaps post your ManilaFull.xml file after sense has loaded/generated it.
What version of sense are you running?
EDIT:Are reg settings imported?

I have just started to play now. I will post more picture for other users within one hour, for sharing
But somehow, I can not able to see any items at the tab, just like you have at first picture. "Update now" Button seems to be not working properly.

Have you got any people linked? You've got lots of status icons, I think the hand one is to link people.
Have a look in your people tab -> updates & events tab at the end (this is the source page!), if you don't have people in there you won't anywhere.
The "update now" button is just moved, from menu in the source page, so check it there.
EDIT: Thanks for the screen, appears to be ok for VGA devices too!
Working perfect!
Thanks for your effort mate
Gonna start again later on, start from fresh and see what happens.

16/05 First release:Porting HD2 WP7 rom to NoDo (see 2nd post)
New theme with transparency I've called Aero
HTC Hidden Wi-Fi works since I've updated some OEM packages. To have a wifi mac adress which don't change at reboot try to set it in the nvram.txt file (see my second post)
Rom is unlocked and prevented to relock.
A video demonstration: Youtube_WP7_NoDo_ROM_HD2 (thanks Jaxbot)
05/06 Update:Green key is now hard remaped, I've chosen the function of bluetooth Headset: Play/Pause multimedia, Skip by pressing twice, Answer a call (when receiving), End call, (when in call), long press to rapidly call someone by speech input.
Replaced camera button by a software button with autofocus like on Androïd so no more blur.
Radio is working without the need of headphones.
Added keyboards layout for some other countries and added some cool features. More layouts to come soon.
Improve performances, localisation (assisted gps - agps), Bluetooth, battery consumption. (mine is between 3 and 6 mA)
Solving of certains difficulties to establish a link with some Wi-Fi routers.
Smooth gradients (no more 16bit banding bug) without lost of performances.
Backlight adjusted and set to never by default (work have to be done)
Changed volume settings and added a sound template to make it more clear.
Replaced all Microsoft and OEM wallpapers by transparent png, so a total of 41.
08/06 Update:Replaced all overlaped modules of the 7392 base rom, so improve about everythingSpeech recognition (long press Win key and Call contact Green key) works for every languages
13/06 Update + 16/06 minor Update:Added direct access to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in start menu and home tiles.
Added direct acces to Airplane mode and Brightness (16/06)
Update of the HTC RIL manager module and added the last HTC Connection Setup for autodata config at boot.
Added keyboard layouts but there is a limitation of 20 keyboards so I split the rom in 2.
Added some other long press on keyboards layout ie w->www. f->ftp://ftp. (16/06)
23/06 + 26/06 Update:Rom is rooted now (first WP7 rooted rom)
Optimisation of the policy database for root access (+live games fix) (26/06)
Added direct acces to Cellular and Location
Added direct acces to Sound and Lock and changed all icons added to real metro theme (26/06)Added 2 extra themes (Aero variations with transparency): Aero Black and Aero RichThe Rom Files: v5_lang1 and v5_lang2 - These are the roms, no language pack!!! see below
Rom is split in two versions with differents keyboards layouts
In both: Spanish, French/Canada/Swiss, German, English US/UK, Italia
Lang1: Finish, Hungarian, Swedish, Czech, Danish, Dutch/Belgian, Norwegian, Polish, Poruguese/Brazilian, Filipino
Lang2: Turkish, Malay, Arabic(as Ecuador), Hebrew(as Uruguay), Farsi(as Bolivia), Chinese, Greek, Korean, Russian, Indonesian, Ukrainian, Thai(as El Salvador)
A xap to give back the 3rd option speaker/headset in FM radio (but you'll need Headphones): ProvXml-FMradio.xap (thanks to xboxmod, for use see his thread)
A pack with all HD7 radios (files part00.bin to replace in Data.zip before flash): HD2 WP7 radios pack

Tutorial to port sys (update to NoDo)
Ok guys, I don’t know why DFT haven’t release an update for HD2 earlier since it take only few days to a noob to achieve a working NoDo rom. Their first version was built on a test rom with developer’s certificates from Microsoft and HTC, debug tools, recompiled drivers for HD2 and a method to build SLDR and NK sections. They had before everybody a test version of Mango too. So I suppose they, or only one, is working for HTC or has good contacts and perhaps had a commercial interest or was more interested by the exploit than giving users a great experience of WP7 on HD2, updates as soon as it’s possible and tools/knowledge to members like ervius, AnDim, Nokser etc. to achieve that by themselves. Someone in another post suggest an agreement not to release their mango before the 24th, it’s quite possible. But I don’t know and I don’t blame, it’s life lol
Perhaps we’ll see a version of Mango for HD2 soon (and new exiting videos^^’) but since a lot of people are waiting for NoDo (some desperate posts made me cry XD) I’ll give you a first version, and better, the method to achieve that by yourself for the next coming.
!The trip isn’t how to flash an HD7 rom on HD2 like certain people seems to believe and we don’t need a new malgr for the moment!

DFT rom and DWI by by bepe and Cotulla
A rom with 7392 SYS like RUU_Mozart_TMO_DE_1.32.111.01_5.65.09.25_22.45.50_ RELEASE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065281 (MOZART is not important for SYS parts)
Some extra roms for updated other SYS languages
A rom with latests HTC packages to have the possibility of stuff like Hidden Wi-Fi like RUU_Schubert_O2_DE_3.04.207.01_Radio_5.66.09.21a_2 2.48.50.21 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037967
Optional:
A rom for a new radio, this one seems to be the latest too
A rom for developpers tools and kitl like RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_TEST
Roms for OEM APPS stuff that you want
A good HEX editor and a file/directories comparator may help a lot
Just a little time and patience lol
PS: open roms with an archive tool like 7-Zip and take the RUU_signed.nbh file, we only need this.
1. A new radio: (optional)
The radio is the part00.bin in the Data.zip
With HTCrie open the nbh which contains the radio you want, select GSM and extract the GSM.nb
Open it with an hex editor and search for 7F 45 4C 46 01 01 01 61, it’s the beginning of the part we need. The end is the series of 00 just after the last AMSS string you can find (refer to DFT part00.bin if you need help).
Keep only this section (delete the rest) and add some 00, for example if the files ends at the byte e004d0h go to e004ff.
Save the file, rename it part00.bin, you’ll have your new radio (in this case 5.66.09.21a).
Replace it in the Data.zip, you can flash now with DWI to test it.
You’ll show the new version in the Settings/About of WP7.
2. Change The SYS by 7392 Step 1: Common packages
With HTCrie open the nbh which contains the 7392 SYS build (or another you want), extend OS/IMGFS and select SYS. Extract it to a folder.
Do the same for other rom(s) containing extra languages in another folder.
Add the extra *_LANG_0XXX packages from the second directory to the first, after that you can delete it (the second folder lol, if only English was my native language^^).
You can use NabSync and NabSync_Lang_0XXX packages or not, if not delete them, just remember you’ll not need to add MOS entries in default.hv in this case.
Put the metadata package in another place, we’ll use it in step 2.
Put the content of all other packages in a new folder (for ex called IMGFS), with HTCRIE open the same 7392 rom, extend OS and in IMGFS content select .ROM and .VM modules, extract them in your IMGFS folder.
It’s your new SYS.
You could past/overwrite it in DFT IMGFS and build the rom now it will function (the DFT video of March) and YES it’s as simple as that, you’ll have new stuff from NoDo like copy/paste but not the possibility of Hidden Wi-Fi since it depend of OEM packages.
PS: It’s possible since there isn’t many changes in NK and SLDR sections made by NoDo, so we can use like that. dsm files are not very important (just to have good references of packages) and rgu content is added in default.hv
Modules that need to be updated are:
NK: cachefilt.dll, hd.dll and osaxst0.dll
SLDR: exfat.dll, filesys.dll, k.coredll.dll, k.fatutil.dll, kernel.dll, mtpuldrsvc.dll, pm.dll, sdbus.dll, sdmemory.dll and unifiedblock.dll
3. Change The SYS by 7392 Step 2: metadata package
With HTCrie extract the metadata package of the SHUBERT rom which contains OEM that you need, so we have to play with 3 metadata packages: DFT, SHUBERT OEM, MOZART SYS.
It could be a little simpler if we have a 7392 rom for SHUBERT but not for the moment.
Some files need to be updated, first is BasePolicy.xml, compare the new content of MOZART with DFT one, same for SCHUBERT (replace C:\WM700\release\LEO and C:\WM700_7392\release\MOZART by C:\WM700_7392\release\SCHUBERT). If you find new entries and you judge them useful (refer to dsm and find the package) then add them in MOZART one (it’s the most important for SYS).
Second is DefaultCerts.dat, these files contain certificates. In hex each one begin with 30 82 ?? ?? 30 82 so you can cut this file in x parts, one for each certificate.
The common build is Microsoft root, oem roots, Microsoft Windows Mobile PCA0, oem, Microsoft Mobile Device Unprivileged PCA0.
We’ll keep DFT one as bas as it’s include Qualcomm infrastructure development, Microsoft Corporation CE Image Update Test and HTC_Develop_Test, useful for later (we never know^^). DFT has included HTC_Develop_Test twice (like in dsm beside Microsoft Corporation CE Image Update Test) so you can remove the second.
What you need is to take DefaultCerts.dat from other metadata packages, extract OEM 168 or/and OEM 169 (personally I’ve included both from other roms so I’ll never have to touch this file again) and insert oem/oem root certificates in DFT one.
packages.cif and packages.sof are certainly updated but you can edit them with Imageinfo.bin, packages.cif/sof Tool.
Compare the imginf.txt you obtain for each roms you use (you can sort this file to make it more simple).
Like with BasePolicy.xml, if there is an entry that you judge useful, just add it in packages.cif and .sof (refer to this tool’s post in forum to know how use it well, but it’s quite simple).
The last two files but more important are default.hv and user.hv
To edit them just drag them onto HVEdit.exe by AnDim, you’ll obtain default.hvm and user.hvm which can be edited like rgu files.
To rebuild hv just drag hvm onto HVEdit.exe
I suggest keep the 7392 ones as base, compare them with DFT originals and modify entries you want.
For some you need a little knowledge (refer to forum) but for most it’s language entries and some tweaks.
You can refer to rgu files which differ and take a look at NoDo and 7392 pku to know which files/rgu are concerned (see forum to know how obtain pku for each zune update and extract them but don’t use files as they are in your build since most of them are not suitable (except dsm), they only contain information to update files/modules)
You can add for exemple your LiveID useful for HD2 users:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\GwpCPC]
"ActivationCode"="77777-77777-77777-77777-77777"
Copy the content of the new metadata package in your IMGFS folder. Now you have a fully functional SYS that you can use instead DFT one Let see OEM packages.
4. Change OEM packages Step 1: common packages
With HTCrie extract in two folders (like for SYS before) the OEM packages, one for DFT (for most you’ll find them at the wrong place: in SYS - like for most of TEST roms you can find) the other for the rom with most updated HTC packages.
You don’t need HTC_8x50_OS_UI_LEO as we replace it by HTC_8x50_OS_UI_SCHUBERT
You don’t need StartKitl and kitl.dll from DFT as it’s debug tool (we’ll see later) and HTC_CSPOSDrivers is new stuff so don’t search it in DFT rom.
Other packages which can be used without modification beside HTC_CSPOSDrivers are CSConn_DB, HTC_Global_Customization, OEM_8x50_BLDR, OEM_8x50_BSP, OEM_8x50_LOGO, OEM_8x50_MODEM, QC_8x50_OS_MM_CFG_2 so just delete them like for HTC_8x50_OS_UI_LEO in DFT folder to see more clearly.
5. Change OEM packages Step 2: updated packages
Like I’ve said we could use DFT OEM packages as they are but we won’t have new stuff from HTC like Hidden Wi-Fi. So we have to update some modules.
We could update the most of them (certain drivers are HD2 specific) but since we can’t update NK/SLDR sections for now you’ll got some troubles (I’ll speak of that later).
So for each package we change all files,rgu and dsm but we have to keep some modules from DFT.
For HTC_AppDrivers and HTC_OSDrivers don’t keep anything (so delete them from DFT folder) but remove HTCConnectionSetUp.dll since it is in SLDR and have some dependencies so you’ve got some troubles to connect secure wifi networks.
For HTC_8x50_OS_UI_COMMON, OEM_8x50_OS, QC_8x50_OS_GPS, QC_8x50_OS_MMRIL overwrite all modules with DFT ones
For HTC_8x50_OS_WIRELESS overwrite all modules. wl_server_serial.dll and wlan_oem.dll were files, we need updated ones in modules from new oem package for HTC Hidden Wi-Fi, the other thing to do is to verify in default.hv that BtOem, RSS and WLANOEM entries are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\ sections like in new roms and not in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ like DFT’s one (and never both) otherwise it won’t work.
For OEM_8x50_OS_CAMERA replace modules and add camerasettingsmanifest.0XXX.xml from DFT in new one (since these files are normally in SLDR in new roms we have to add them). Use DSM editor to edit c6158f86-ef71-4a8b-8c04-0cf57c158b2f.dsm and add entries for these files (refer to this tool’s post to know how use it but it’s easy too).
For OEM_8x50_OS_SURF replace all modules. But you don’t have to add Backlightmdd_htc_6541.dll, just be sure you have backlightmdd.dll instead in default.hv like in new roms.
For QC_8x50_OS replace modules. You have to delete windiag.dll or verify in default.hv that “dll”=”windiag.dll” is replaced by “dll”=”” like in new roms.
6. Change OEM packages Step 3: extra packages (optional)
HTC_OEMAPPS contain OEM software.
You can add from different roms and operators. Just add the *.xap and * _License.xml you want, edit mpap_HTC_MASD_01.provxml to add/have only entries for these files and use DSM editor to edit 47c557c0-08b2-493c-a380-08c72d78e3ba.dsm and update the list of files in this package.
operatorpkg contain the HTC or Operator personalization files. Like for OEMAPPS, keep/add what you want from different roms, Email accounts/providers, Browser favorites are useful, MNS_Cust_xxx too, I’ve personally built a new theme with transparency called Aero, added the entries in the default.hv and add the 02XX*.xaml in this package.
A picture with transparency in png format for the lockscreen too.
After use DSM editor to edit 438abf0c-b691-4259-a742-1f224fa3b5ba.dsm like before.
You can add developer stuff/kitl and HTC tools packages too: AutoDeviceConfig, CommsDogfood, CoreOSDogfood, dogfoodDM, EtwChannelDefaultInternal, KitlShell, LoaderVerifierTestCerts, NetDrvVMINI, QC_8x50_OS_TEST, SensorView, SirepForPlatDev, StartKitl, TouchTools. GPSxxx from HTC_8x50_OS_WIRELESS.
Extract them from a test rom and add the content and entries in default.hv you find in rgu files.
HTC_TEST tools are xap files: DebugFlagEdit, GCFSettings, HTC BATTERY TOOL, HTCGPSTool, RegisterEdit, StopWatch, StressTool, USBModeSwitch. Refer you at the HTC_OEMAPPS explanations.
You have finished the job with OEM part, just extract the content of each of these packages in your IMGFS folder.
7. Wi-Fi problems: (optional)
Some people had some troubles with the old roms and wifi. In forum most were speaking about the SD-card but it didn’t solved the problem (and gone back to android^^).
It’s not the only problem. If you examine the file nvram.txt which is used to enable the built-in wifi chip there are some differences between files from DFT, HD2 3.14, SCHUBERT operators.
EDIT: macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55 in its file seems the place to put a mac adress for routers with some mac filters.
I list it below, so i use a mix from HD2. When I was using the original, I didn't reached secured networks, I had to remove battery for hours.
Code:
DFT: SCH:TMOUS/WWE/TIM/O2UK HD2 3.14: SCH:Orange + MOZ:O2UK

I suggest to modify this entries in default.hv too
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms
"11nModeDisable"=dword:0 ; Wifi n
"PowerSaveMode"=dword:0 ; 0: Best Performance 1: Best Batterry 2: Between
"IBSSMode"="0" ; set the connection type in an ad hoc network (b/g)
"LegacyPowerCycle"=dword:0 ; new rom entry
"FrameBursting"="1" ; communication protocol (higher data transfer throughput)
8. Build your rom:
All this process can be found in the forum for more explanations:
Rename the your IMGFS folder to dump (yes you could have done it at the beginning^^) with HTCrie open the part04.bin from DFT you find in Data.zip, select IMGFS and extract IMGFS.bin
With ImgfsFromDump recompile the new IMGFS, the command line is: ImgfsFromDump imgfs.bin imgfs-out.bin
With HTCrie replace the IMGFS in part4.bin: select IMGFS, click on add files, choose imgfs-out.bin, it take only few seconds.
Replace part04.bin in Data.zip by the new one and flash it with DWI, you’ve got it!
If you like my work, don’t pay me a beer, don’t thank me but just send as much “MISS U” as you want to +33 682732382 (France)
26/06 working great for me!
No issues other than the usual bugs!
To increase the speed, download Advanced Config Tool here: http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=890 and then in the "tweaks' section, check 'Don't dehydrate apps on pause' and UNckeck 'Enable Wi-Fi 802.11n Mode' or wifi won't work. (may or may not work, try not to fiddle with the settings too much )
Mango next !!

oh man. what have u done!! ;-)
waiting for the link.
GOD!!!
U are the ONE!!!!
Waiting for your link...
waiting on link too.
btw what do you mean send "Miss U" to the number?
Hope this brings out others to provide custom WP7 roms.
Hi YukiXDA,
I don't think you are a "noob" by any stretch of imagination.
I must admit most of it is too intimidating for me to even think of attempting. so I will, like I'm sure a lot of other users, will be waiting patiently for you to upload the ROM.
If I understand the last part right - All I would need to do to update my phone to NoDo is flash your updated ROM using DWI, isn't it?
Not noob but I begun from scratch lol
Imagination and thinking it's possible without DFT tools and new malgr. I regret the fact that there isn't a groupware at xda to achieve such of things (and a way to update SLDR/NK) since some guys have a lot of knowledge here. I hadn't but I didn't understand and not like that we are all waiting DFT tools and release as they have it from several months. So I tried ^^
Yes I've put my Data.zip beside DWI, same way as before for now
Remeber it's a first test version, we need reports...
It's uploaded
@thebranded:
I hope It 'll encourage other people to develop more WP7 stuff on HD2 too.
The problem of updating XIP is for any phones not just ours. But new drivers for future updates yes.
"btw what do you mean send "Miss U" to the number? " -> Just send a sms with "MISS U" as text (for my private life^^)

this ROM
Hi,
I got an questions ?
1. How fast is this ROM ?
2. Is this ROM unlocked + prevented to lock again ?
3. Did you fix the green/yellow color after shot with flash ?
Thanks a for info and good work !
The principe:
With [XBmod-Yuki] rom you can send cutom packages like officials to device.
The packages modify the rom itself so they stay in place even after a reset
If you have installed a package and don't want it anymore use the _REMOVE package for it if present or update it by another one.
you can found REMOVE cab here
If you have any error with the WP7 Update Cab Sender

SDCARD & ANDROID RELATED CABS:

These files change the size and format of the SDcard extrapartition
This partition is used as working part for updates and to save logs
It is usually formated as FAT16 and sized of 200MB
So choose the file which the number of GB you want, send the cab to device and Reset
The first partition will have the new size now and already formated in FAT32
So you can use it as USB key or for Androïd without having to do it manually
Take care if you reset again datas on it will be lost
If you want to revert back to FAT16, 200MB just use DEV_EXTRAPART_REMOVE and reset
This feature is to be used beside DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
With this tool you can unlock your SDcard
The card will be relocked after each reboot to WP7 what is a security in case of stolen device
So use the tool each time you want to boot to Androïd or use SDcard as USB key.
DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
this will install unlock tool for your sd card (possibility of dualboot)

Original [XBmod-Yuki] Thread here
Create your own WP7 update packages.
The principe:
The goal is to have roms for all WP7 community which can share custom packages without breaking the system updates
A cooker put his certificate in rom so only the cooker sign cabs to have them sendable to the device
This to avoid problems of bad utilisation packages ie to retrieve users informations
But a rom could share multiple developpers certificates, the choice comes to the cooker
And a cooker just have to resign an existing package with his certificate to let it be sendable to his rom
Any developper can make packages he want, when he releases it any cooker can choice to make a package with it
Developers and designers make their customisations they want to device
But they have to never change a system file or it will break the system update process
So sometimes some tricks have to be found to modify some things like the use of .mui filesUpdate Cab Building Process
An update cab is a container for 3 different types of packages.
with ability to replace any files in all part of the rom.(sldr,nk,imgfs)
never need to create a new rom, you can create a cab for what you want (logo,radio & more)
take care update cab modification are not removed by a hardreset.
Canonical
contains the entire contents of the package. It is used for a first-time package install, and if there are any major updates to be issued that would require the complete package.
The file extension is .cab.pkg
Update
contains a binary delta between a package already on the device, and the updated version of that package. if a package change was a simple registry entry - no need to replace all .dll and .exe in that package, just alter the .rgu with a Diff/Patch.
The file extension is .cab.pku
Delete
contain a .dsm file already on the device , and remove all files inside the corresponding package.
The file extension is .cab.pkr
At the root of a package, the .dsm defines the Package structure (all files, registry entries, etc.)
There is a "shadow order" defined in the .dsm as well
- this controls what "priority" .rgu's are compiled together into the device HV.
- a package that shadows another package will override any .rgu entries that shadowed package may contain.
This is important to consider when utilizing .cab.pkgs to obtain your desired end registry.
This shadow order also applies to provxmls inside the package
- a package that shadows another package will override its provxml settings as well.
You can found more technical information in Da_G thread
Beside canonical/update and remove there is other flags in WP7
So use a program which can preserve the flag, dsm builder for ex change them to a bad one
You can find flags for regular(NK/IMGFS) ULDR(SLDR) and Reserved too
If you have no program to make a remove here is a methode:
- Use the default dsm of your package
- Change the version to 0.0.0.0 (but let OS version)
- Remove all files / certificates / dependencies and shadows
- Save the file as that and open it in a hex editor:
- Save you've got it
The delete 40 00 flag is for Regular, 60 ULDR, 70 Reserved
21 00/21 04 For update ULDR, 22 00/22 04 Canonical ULDR
01 00/01 04 For Update regular, 02 00/02 04 canonical regular
You can use the tool DSM Flag Editor to do this.(thx Ruzzichella)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Updates packages need diff files and we need tools for that.
but we can send dll to replace.....
when you make a dsm keep the oem certificate AND add your own.
You can Build your own cab package with WP7 Update Cab Builder
Developers, if you want try this process send me your cab and i will sign it for you to try on the rom.
Cab building process need your personal certificate (.pfx) in tools folder.
you can create your certificate with signcode & convert it to pfx with pvk2pfx.
download link:certificate-tools
and you need to build a rom with this certificate cooked in.(DefaultCerts.dat & MsDefaultCerts.dat )
IMPORTANT:
Never send a cab without your certficate or you won't be able to remove or modify the package
And you won't be able to provide a removal to users

Hello Guys,
Is there any improvement about the Wifi Internet Sharing?
I was reallly excited at the beginning but disapointed after installing because it is not working (only a menu). Thus, i've made a little search over holly google and found this article: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233612
But it seems like still not working on HTC because of the lack of drivers also carrier block.
So, will be appricated if you have any news regarding this. (I have spent my summer without internet because of this missing function and do not want to spent another.)
All the bests.

Sdcard & android related cabs:
After setting up dual booting using 7gb .cab, I tried to (r)estore from an earlier (b)ackup and send using cab sender and it failed due to different sized sd.
Just a heads up for those expecting to be able to use restore for anything.
I would love to be able to create a CAB with that sets my MS Activation Code so I don't have to manually enter it whenever I need to hard reset. A simple tool to create one after I put my code it would be great. Any takers?
