[Q] A common problem in many ROMs - TG01 General

I found that in many 6.5 Roms the button on toolbar of mobile ie are color distortion ,them looks less Color than the other button below.
this phenomena can be found in most miROM ,some ffboy's rom and some others .
I try to resolve it but failed.I deemed to some file in /windows named default_toolbarXXX.png are the image source,
I replace them but it dosen't works. can anyone can explain away my doubts and solve it .
by the way ,
can the mobile ie 6.5 be extracted to a CAB?and the CAB can install in 6.1 rom.thaX >>>>>>>>>sorry for my Eng .

How to Add Atom ExternalRom to DiskImage_Ver.nb0

Dear Expert,
I manage to modify Atom Life Rom diskimage_ver.nb0 and it work on my hp6828. But some function not working like wireless Manager and other due to hp6828 have no externalRom . Can someone teach me how to transfer the EnternalRom file ? Any tools that I can do it and the procedure . Thanks

Which version WM?

ATOMWM607AB3WWE rom created by jigg

Extract using WinImage.. and copy it..

Already did it . If I just copy those file , it doesn't work . Any file that I need to modify ? like HV or initflashfiles.dat ? Because I'm just start pocket PC , so my knowledge of this system is very poor .

Yesterday when I flash rom , forgot to delete atom bootloader , during the step 3 at flashing External Rom , my Hp6828 hang at 6% . I make a big mistake ....(Reset the phone) . So now great . Phone dead now . Search through web and try hundred way to reset , refesh , The phone no respone. I can't even on the Power .
Will send it back to HP service center. Hope not so expensive.

simply copying the extended ROM file will not work because your DOC (disc-on-chip) was formatted differently. You might consider changing all the other programs that need to search for the extended ROM to do it locally.
For instance, most of the files located in the extended ROM are the skin files for the FM Radio, Wireless Manager, Network settings, etc. All these you already have with your existing WM5 hprw6828. Now if this doesn't work, you can look for an hp wm6 device with an extended ROM.
The Atom series is not an exact clone of the hprw6828. Your device drivers are different, and the programs written may not necessarily work on your ipaq.
If you still want to go after changing your DOC format, please look for bepe's thread on Trinity which removes the DOC from their device. You can study how he removed it. Your process is the reverse.
Please do post your developments. Good Luck!
cheers,
Jiggs

Thanks Jiggs , a guy from 'PdaFans' creat a cab file call HP68X8 EXTROM.cab . I download and run in my phone . Than most of the feature work , Only problem is the wireless manager display in chinese , O2 Album tile become funny word. I think could be cause by language difference , because the guy wn6 is chinese simplify version . And also the rom that the guy use to modify is difference with mine .
I upload the file in mediafire . Please check and let me know what the guy did .
Cheers

Okay, I looked at this. What he did is an alternative method of putting the necessary files in the right folder. He created a subfolder named \_QHiddenPartition\ -> the name of the extended ROM. You can do this though, but you can leave out the installation cabs on the extended ROM as this will surely double copy them from ROM.
To do this effectively would mean to recreate the root folder from initflashfiles.dat copying the files from ROM to the subfolder \_QHiddenPartition\. An alternative would be to ZIP it on one file and unzip it on \_QHiddenPartition\ to minimize \Windows files. Too many files in \Windows affects performance index.
This is the easy way out, but you will not have the benefits of the real extended ROM. Also, that our ROM 62.5MB (approx) has limited space to store all the files.
If you will be implementing our ROMs, you will need to modify the MortScript to not look for install cabs in \_QHiddenPartition\
At least with this, hp 6828, you can get to enjoy ATOM WM6 WWE now.
Now, this is real good news!

Thanks Jiggs, at least with that solution , I manage to run your rom for pass two week and the rom not give me much problem.
So now I just wait for my phone back than I will try other way to solve this ExternalRom.
Hope can upload a better rom to HP6828 user soon.

think now you will need WinCE cab manager (or similar app) to rebuild the cab file (replace the content with English files)

Hi, Wantat:
I have patch for WM6. I'll upload it to my server for you download

make your own Prophet Touch Kitchen

Simple steps on howto
1. download the kitchen Download
2. download Prophet Touch X rom Get it here
3. extract Kitchen and Prophet Touch X to separate folder
4. Place the OS.nb from Prophet Touch X in the rom folder of the Kitchen
5. run Buildos.exe and choose what to include (the marked apps are the once that are in Prophet Touch X) press the green play button and wait for it to finish
6. run CreateROM.bat (if there is any error the you have included to much in the Buldos prosess)
7. if there were no error the new OS.nb is in the temp folder move it to the Prophet Touch X folder and overwrite the os.nb in it
8. flash any step 1 WM5
9. now Flash your new rom within Prophet Touch X folder
if everything is done right you should have your new coocked rom on your Prophet
I have put all the things that should not be removed into the SYS folder so do only make changes to the OEM folder till you know more about cooking .
replace the HTC Audio Manager with this one
View attachment OEMAudioManager.zip
New HTC Album with folder option
View attachment HTCAlbumFolderOption.zip

Extras and links
I'll upload some addons for the kitchen later on as I've made more OEM packs
You can also search for oempacks to include but be aware that some OEM packs are device depented
Some cool tools that I use but have not included in kitchen You'll need to understand what they do before using them
HyperCore Kitchen cool for dumping roms and building ( I use it for dumping)

this is great.. awesome.

Great job Gullum. Now guys, we all should start frying Hokienmee or Char Kueh Teow (both chinese cuisine)

hold the mouse over one of the options and there should show and explaination for most of the items

good news
i'll try it

for every change in X and flashing it, is it always necessary to do step 1 again (wm5 flashing) ?
When I do hard reset and at the "tap screen to go on" point, I could start flashing X too ?
What I mean, is the complete rom exchanged when I flash X, or do some parts from wm5 or old X (IX, VIII ....) remain ?

I've try to cook today.. BUt seems something is going wrong...
Better I flashed it back to the original touch X ROM...

I also had some bad luck with cooking.
I did everything gullum said, flashed 'new' TouchX, did hard reset and then when its time to see welcome screen and 'press any key.....' there is blank white screen! Nothing happens no matter which button i press! Any ideas?

I did the same think.
At my case, i have enter today screen.. But I think, its programs don't install clearly.. (hard reset don't help either.)
The first screen is the same one as you.. The white one.. Maybe you should to try ask Gullum again..
I just flash back to Touch IX with another Ext ROM. QuickMenu in that ext.ROM

thanks gullum
I would like to translate this rom to Portuguese can you give some advices? our some tutorial to do that, please? can i do that with this soft?
best regards

thanks (for this perfect kitchen) gullum ,some 3 questions i have :
1.>how to get oem or make one ,and
2.>how to get .dsm , .rgu files of my favorite software . and
3.>how do i make registry changes prior to build os are they automatic
Note :ext_rom files attributes should be read only since its like that in original rom so i made them read only(i think its healthy for system files any virus won't be able to modify it unless the file needs to be appendable updateable it should be read only),plus i deleted alot of thumbs.db files lying in many folders (about >2mb) just to clean oem folder files off thumbs.db i know winxp might be making them all the way .
i corrected audio manger with this kitchen (its gr8),i can't seem to solve camera album (have solved solution given below )problem ,it seems to have come back you know i can't use gestures , what to do ,any reg setting solution.
Edit : **corrected** the setting in reg hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\cacheserial to 2130706432
and hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\default_viewer to 0
if it still don't get solved set first 11 enteries (h_enable to v_pos) value to 0 in
hklm\software\htc\htcalbum\touchscroll\htcalbumclass
i'll try to provide a cab but this forum has alot of intelligent members

whatever I include in the buildos I am facing the same error when I try to create rom; something about BuildImgfs
any help guys!!

2 reasons 1.> i hope you are pressing play(top left in build OS)button after whatever you choose,with what ever you want in it.
2.>your file size has to be limited its almost full with this kitchen so you have to remove some item like voice dialing (which i seldom use) or some other item removed before you add some item since size dependency is very important here ,and later run create rom .remember you cannot select everything because of space limitation .

Hello Gullum
I'm trying to do very basic thing adding Windows Live package into the OS.nb but it fails during CreatROM.bat. At BuildImgfs.exe the application BuildImgfs.exe crashes and show the error message and whether to send a report to MS or not (I don't send...).
I just directly add Windows Live to your OS.nb. Is it already fully loaded? Should I remove something before?

question with task manager
something is wrong with task manager.
in control panel ,its setting doesn't work!

Same problem.
Whatever i select in buildOS, BuildImgfs crashes.
Last records is CreateROM.bat window is:
Processing "Painting.gif" as file

Yep, good ole 6.5. Not really using a version of 6.5 that is clean & prestine fro the Raphael.
This is an issue w/ WM6.5.

Strange. I don't have any similar problems. In my ROM's I don't include neither ezinput, nor xt9 (because of problems with keycodes in gba emulators). Could that be the explanation?

Why is it that I don't see this issue with other people here who run 6.5? I know of maybe two users with the same problem. It sucks because before 21232 everything was fine. If it wasn't because I was addicted to flashing and having the latest, I would've kept an older build.

I actually include both of those packages in my ROMs. I will make a ROM without them and then report back what happens.
What keyboard do you use other than EZInput?
EDIT: I've trying the ROM I just made without EZInput or XT9 and the problems are still there. I did a few soft resets and two hard resets and nothing.

yea strange. Are you using the latest keypad.dll that converts the Home key into a Start Menu key?
Or perhaps you have a bad optical sensor that interprets you pressing "Right" instead of End. I'm sure you know the touchpad's optical sensors work.
Right now I am using the latest Energy Rom. I would try a ROM built by another Chef and see if the problem is with your rom or your phone. The Keypad.dll can be copied into the Windows folder and will become active after a reset. So you should be able to download several different versions and try them without hard resetting or flashing.
Maybe you are reusing the same broken keypad.dll. Da_G posted the latest keypad.dll driver in the WM6.5 kitchen thread. It is the one I am using. It should be included in the last 3-4 kitchens, but I would recommend just manually copying it over to \Windows until you find a good version.
And perhaps the reason it doesn't show up until after you copy the file is because it is a Hidden ROM file vs just a normal file. If you use Resco File explorer, you can go into General options and uncheck "Hide Hidden and ROM files" (I uncheck everything). Then you should be able to see the keypad.dll before you copy it over.

With the last 3-4 kitchens I've been making ROMS with the new keypad.dll and given them a chance, but the problems are still there. When I replace the new keypad.dll with an old one the problems aren't as frequent, but they do still happen. So I'm pretty sure the problems are with the new keypad.dll.

I meant the actual kitchen sub folder on my PC. The keypad.dll in there won't show up, but it's there.
I will try flashing two different ROMS from other people and I will post what happens. Thanks for your advice.

Hmmm...I know quite a few with the issue. It seems intermitent & a few programs affect vKb codes, i.e. opera, which can also cause issues. It's funny though, for some reason if you press & hold the end key for a second, it works.

i just got home and bumped the thread. I'm surprised my post actually went through since I was getting a 500 Server error with XDA.
I'd like to know how things are going and see if this can be hammered out. Again I don't experience any such issues at all. Perhaps it is with a specific build of phones. Maybe they swapped parts midway.

I'm not sure if this is how it is with every Fuze, but I have three different build dates (I'm guessing that is what they are).
One is on the top and says: 10/18/08 Rev. G01
The other is on the right side and says: 08/01/08 Rev. B01
And the last one right above the "VOID" sticker says: US 10/07/08 Rev. US01
Could you check your phone to confirm that you also have three different dates?

Top:8/28/08 rev:g01
left:09/02/08 rev:b1
bottom:10/07/08 rev:us01

I'm confused. What do these dates mean? Why are they all different?

perhaps different build dates. They all are the same rev numbers.

READ THIS FIRST
Finally Working Bluetooth problem
For ATOM/ATOM PURE ONLY
Download link moved to post #2
Step by step upgrading
NOTE: These steps only apply if you have an ATOM/ATOM Pure.
Basically, there are three steps to flash a custom ROM to your ATOM.
1. Choose and download your choice of custom ROMs
2. Flash the custom ROM to your Atom using the Device Software Update Utility (DSSU)
3. Flash the custom ROM using MiniSD
Preparation
Backup your personal information using a program such as PIM Backup (freeware). Also make sure your phone has at least a 50% charge. You need M$ ActiveSync 4.5 for XP or Windows Mobile Device Center for VISTA and 7 to upgrade your device through PC.
Please read through this guide and download the all the necessary files beforehand. That way, you know exactly what you're getting into.
Choose and download your custom ROM
There are many, many custom ROMs out there for the Atom.
Look through the threads and find a ROM that you like. Custom ROMs differ in their preinstalled software, system settings, performance tweaks, and more.
ROMs usually come compressed in a .zip file. Extract the downloaded ROM file to somewhere on your hard drive temporarily in preparation for the next step.
Flash Custom ROM Using DSSU
Copy the custom ROM file (usually came with 6 files) to C:\WINDOWS\Temp folder you just extracted.
Once you've got everything hooked up correctly, run the Device Software Update Utility (DSSU).exe program inside of the C:\WINDOWS\Temp folder you just copied. Follow the onscreen instructions to flash the custom ROM to your phone. Reboot your phone at the end and you're finished. Enjoy the new custom ROM!
In case you can't update the ATOM in active mode, you may need to update by entering bootloader mode. Hold the down power and camera button and use your stylus to press reset button at the same time until you see monochrome bootloader screen. Then connect your phone via USB cable to your computer.
Follow the onscreen instructions to flash the custom ROM to your phone. Reboot your phone at the end and you're finished. Enjoy the new custom ROM!
Flash Custom ROM Using MiniSD
*Not recommended
Here's the step how to flash your Atom using MiniSD.
1. Extract downloaded custom ROM to somewhere on your harddrive.
2. Cut first 12byte header of diskimage_Ver.nb0 using hex editor.
3. Rename diskimage_Ver.nb0 to diskimg.nb0
4. Rename ExtendedROM.img to extended.img
4. Copy both files diskimg.nb0 and extended.img to your miniSD
Now, hold the down power and camera button and use your stylus to press reset button at the same time until you see monochrome bootloader screen. The Atom will flash the new ROM automaically. Once it done, setup the device and enjoy the new custom ROM.

Big thanks to HelloWorld, [email protected], Tj's and all atom tester...

Thanks Glossy.....wow first one in line..........
Downloading now and will flash it later.....will update you from the try outs.
Good work though!

I'm wondering and really hope if this is very CLEAN, FAST & STABLE WM6.5 ROM in LOW BATTERY CONSUMPTIONS for O2 XDA Atom. Thanks before GlossyX1, you're the Atom ROM masterpiece too!

Wow! Great!
Thank you for this new build. Will try soon...

Have a try and gimme some report...

Gloss,
Tried for half a day now, this is what I have :
- overall, this built is much better than the previous, in terms of memory and battery
- overall functions and programs ran smoothly and no problems
- calls and receiving calls all good
- I can't seem to set the ringer mode to ring and vibrate but the phone by default now will ring and vibrate even if not set for vibrate, so no complains there
- persian blue works nicely to compensate for WM6.5 not able to locate any bluetooth device to beam
- Tested and still unable to sync/add more than 2 bluetooth devices, but at least I managed to get activesync working and also my handsfree, that's all I want anyway.
- taps and display are all fast, no issues there.
- booting from hard and soft reset are coming up nicely now
- one advice for user of this ROM is don't try to unlock the Extended ROM and use, the Extended ROM not very stable and when it crash, you will have problem reseting and booting your device, takes a long time and a few soft resets
But overall for me, this is a good, clean and stable ROM(forgetting about the bluetooth issue). Thanks to Glossyx1 and Helloworld1.............
Let's hope someone comes up with a permanent fix for the bluetooth issue, then this will be the defacto WM6.5 for Atom's!

What do you mean by unlock the EXTENDEDRom? I use this ROM for several days and found no problem on my device. Now I uninstalled PersianBluetooth to save more memory.
Did you found another issue? Has anyone else try this ROM?

I am in the road right now and im gonna try it tonight when i got home. one thing i would like to know if it is possible to install Spb Mobile Shell (current version is 3.5) and install MSkip ProPlus Elegance skin since I like this skin so much? if it is possible, what is the xda atom resolution based on the list QVGA, WQVGA, VGA, WVGA? sorry not familiar with and this is a bit off topic but I am consider sticking on this rom until such time that there is a solution for the bluetooth issue.

Waiting for your feed. I'm not tested yed to install SPB mobile, but there's no issue when I install another cab application. You have to try it by your self and give us a report. ATOM is QVGA device. thanks

Gloss,
What I mean by unlocking the Ext ROM is that I installed the unlock extended cab file so that the Ext ROM will be visible via file explorer or Resco explorer. Unless the cab I am using is not working properly for WM6.5(it's meant for WM6) but after I unlock it and became visible, I installed a few application on the Ext ROM to try, it was working fine until I need to soft reset the device(as some application do), then the Ext ROM is no longer visible and takes a long time to reboot(think OS can't get at the Ext ROM). Well, other issues is as my previous post, the ring mode can't set to ring and vibrate but it vibrates anyway. Then the same problem with bluetooth not able to add more than 2 devices still there. Otherwise I would say all is prefect.
As for SPB Mobile Shell, I tried installing it before under Helloworld's ROM(21869) before but does not work. The application installed okay but just could not get it to run, do not know why? Maybe some software conflict?

Add application
Hi Gloss,
Where or how can I add applications(.exe) manually in WM6 to the program or Today menu section? Is there a way? I am trying to add some other application like Torch Light, Chess games etc.
So far so good your ROM........(up till now)....
Vince

I mean WM6.5(this ROM)....

I see, you can't unlock the EXTRom as it is configured automatically in a file named config.txt. So, every chef has configured it depend on what it is configured in config.txt to EXTRom. Another thing, don't ever use other EXTrom but what is it included on ROM package, it wont work.
For the Ring mode, I can set it as usual in ring mode. Just go to setting->sound and notification->incoming call. Not working??? Try this, set to ring and vibrate, restart and set to ring.
Bluetooth??? Need some magic
I just tried to install SPB 3.5 and it works as well

No you cant, while run standalone application (.exe) you wont see any shorcut because it not registered to registry and doesn't have any shortcut (lnk). You can try to build CAB file and set all shortcut in (initflash.txt) for eq to put TorchLight.exe then write it down Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"):-File("Torch.lnk","\Windows\TorchLight.lnk"), it will show Torch on Start Menu->Programs
Try this to make a CAB file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221

Yeap, learned that after unlocking it today....had to reflash again and the 2nd time I did not unlock it, all fine after that. I was hoping to use some of the available memory on Ext ROM, so no choice then.
Thanks for the link for making cab, will go thru the thread and learn some cab making...
Cheers and keep at it......good ROM there.....clean and stable! The way it should be!

So bluetooth handfree is not working again

It usual happen while atom run out of memory. My ROM preinstalled with PersianBluetooth, when you try to install custom home screen eq SPB then your screen goes white. Here is a tip for you: Try to remove PersianBlue and see what happen. I'm not recommended to use any custom Home Today screen because WM6.5 use more resource than you can expected.

I don't have any bluetooth device, test it by your self and give me feedback.
Cheers...

Dragon,
Bluetooth handsfree is fine, working. Only issue is choose your bluetooth devie wisely as you can only add 2 bluetooth device only at the moment. So for me, luckily 2 is just enough, one for activesync and one for handfree(bluetooth). The reason is after you added the 2nd bluetooth device, you can't see add new device tap anymore.
Good luck....

Newbie needs help

Hello ,just joined as i thought this was a cracking site with loads of info and the best place to find help .I have just bought a hd2 as i wanted the latest windows based mobile with a very large screen as i often use memory map and tom tom together ,i have been using both on the XDA ii with out any problems but the trouble was it had a seperate gps reciever ,also the camera was'nt very good .
Couple of questions i need help with please
I have installed memory map and it seems to run fine but is there a way of rotataing the screen on the hd2 from potrait to landscape ?
I have TomTom 7 Version 7.915 PPC ,will this work on the hd2 and is it as easy to install as it was on the XDAii i had ?
I am not very technicaly minded with these things so a very simple guide is what i am looking for .
I have used the search function but not with any success
Thanks in advance

Anyone help please?

You have to be careful which version of TomTom you install.
Here is the 7.917 version which will work with your HD2 - * TomTom v7.917 *
obviously you still need to buy the maps - as this site does not allow warez.
Sorry, I've no idea about Memory Map.

Plenty of ways of doing that: -
BSB Tweaks - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305
Gyrator - http://gyrator.brins0.net/
and probably some others I've forgotten
Try the search function on the forum. "rotation" and "search thread titles" turned up these results - http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=41837256
PS - Speaking from my own experience, I can confirm rotation of Memory map works using BSB Tweaks.

Brilliant guys, just what i was looking for
I have just installed tomtom and it works fine
Just off to have a look about rotating memory map
Many thanks and no doubt i will be back for more help

Can i install the bsb tweaks straight to my phone and everything will carry on working or will i need to reinstall memory map and tomtom after ?

Install BSB & carry on. No need to reinstall Memory Map, etc.

Trying to install bsb tweaks as you have mentioned ,i am trying to follow the video about flashing a custom rom mentioned on another thread , but when i attempt to run the custom ruu ( i downloaded it from this site seperate as one did'nt come with the BsB tweakes ) it keeps telling me" cant install check update utility "
This is what is on my screen
PB8110 XH-BC
SPL-1.66 HSPL XE
0x5
CotulllaHSPL 0x30
I have noticed that the spl is different on the video ,will that make a difference and how do i change it ?
Thanks again

spl doesnt matter so long as it ends '.hspl'
The error you got sounds like you havent put the roms.nbh file in the same folder with customruu.exe.
Just those two files in a folder on their own.
BUT you do know bsbtweaks isnt a rom, right? its a program that you install like any other, nothing to do with customruu.

No did'nt know that ,how do i install the bsbtweakes program ?
Told you i was no good at these things

like all programs. Copy the .cab file to your phone, anywhere (most people have a folder on their sd card for such purposes) then on the phone open up file manager, browse to where the file is, and click it to run it.

Thanks very much

I have installed all these to the sd card
Setup.xml
000bsbtw.001
00tweaks.000
0cab4a7.004
manila 1.002
openne 1.003
When i run the setup file it takes me to opera .nut nothing happens
If i try to open anything else i get the message ,"there is no application associated ,run the application first .
Dont know what i am doing wrong ,someone please help ?

nope, you have extracted the cab. (The pc thinks cab files are a type of zip file)
Dont do that. Copy the single cab file (bsbtweaks.cab or whatever it is called) to the phone and click it to run.

Cheers for the help yet again ,i have installed it and it seemed to install correctly ,yet when i ran the application it said it needs a newer version of microsoft for it to work ,any idea what i need now ?
Thanks again for your help

sorry, never seen that before. does it work? if it does ignore the warning.

Just figured it out ,there is another file that i needed to upload and it is just the bsbtweake cab file ,many many thanks for your help again

ahhh microsoft framework, thats a different thing.
heres teh microsoft download page for it
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
though i think there is a much smaller version (the one above is 33meg) available on xda dev somewhere.
Your search keywords are ".net framework 3.5"
