XAPInstall from DFT ROM - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development

DFT ROm's that are unlocked to install xap files using IE7 within WP7 phone have 4 Files that make this happen
newpl.dll
runexe.exe
xapinstall.exe
xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx.rgu (I dont remember the numbers ).
Since I already have HD2 with WP7 (XBTF), I tried to install this inside a xap file as belows and failed.
1. Converted that rgu into xml provxml and added it to HTC ProvXML deployer xap file
2. deployed it using Tom's XAP Installer.
3. Opened Touch Explorer and copied these 4 files again into Windows folder and
4. restarted my Windows Phone 7
oooooooooooooooooooffffff, It didnt boot after the splashscreen at all. It stopped at the HTC splashscreen forever.
I had to reflash WM6.5 back again .
Did anyone try DFT files , and make it work on HD2.
I'm at office now, I will post those files once I reach home.
What a joke, we are trying to hack a hack that is a hack.

Waiting for files to share
I would like to add rum to hd2 pdaimatejam 7740 v3
thanks

I cooked a rom with DFT_Core module and I can install XAP from IE.
However I can't install apps from marketplace.
Everytime I try to install apps from marketplace I receive a message "Attention Required - Press here".
I believe this is because the newpl.dll that replaces the policyengine.dll on non DFT Rom's.
If i change registry to the older policyengine.dll I can install apps from marketplace but I can't install XAP from IE.
I'm missing something. Don't know what.

Here it is DFT_Core module.

When will be v3???

shux,
I missed out that newlv.dll and windowtreeupdater.dll files.
Anyway if I can install over IE that is far more better because I dont have Windows Activation code.
Marketplace items are anyway prone to be pirated by people later.

remember tht we already know how to fully root the roms (thanks to xbmod and yuki) by using their package..
through that, we do not need the newpl and newlv .dlls
excluding the two (removing their rgu entries as well) i have been able to install on boot xap's the dft way (not through oemapps provxml)
just that so fat the oemapps provxml method was broken.
still trying to find out how to go about that.

more and more new member dont had respect ??

thanks !
i ll work on it a bit more n ll report you soon !!

Honnestly, you should respect the work of other dev, especially dft team (even I don't always agree with them, they do a great job)
So, guy's, please just don't do this.

I agree 100% that we owe DFT and mwang respect and nothing should proceed without express permission from mwang.

So... want to make Splash screens for your device? well, now you can.
USAGE:
1) dump a splash screen from an NBH with NBHExtract. (SubSplash or MainSplash will do)
2) Run the Converter program to convert the .NB to an .RSB (select VGA)
3) Run the RSB<->BMP converter to convert it to an editable BMP.
4) edit the BMP with your preferred editor however you like, but do NOT resize or rotate it (well, if you do rotate it, rotate it back after!)
5) Run the RSB<->BMP converter to convert BACK to a .RSB
6) Run the Converter to convert the RSB BACK to an NB.
7) open sample.txt and edit the two file names AFTER 600, and 601, - DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE.
8) open a command prompt at this folder and do "nbhgen sample.txt"
9) flash the RUU_Signed.nbh with the Athena updater, you MUST be running Hard-SPL (1.20.Olipro) to flash!
10) Profit. - I mean erm... done.

Good luck in waiting....by the time you get it (which will limit you to only getting HTC ROMs - as you will be CID Stuck to them), we'll be enjoying all sorts of customised stable and fast ROMs from the fastest WM6 ROM available. The reason why we got together to form the Athena Project.
The manufacturers and Service providers already have our money, do you seriously think that they will spend more money on further developing the O/S for us all....for free? When they can take that developmental progress they make and release a newer device with newer features and make millions?
I think not! This forum and in particular the Athena Project is committed to doing just that.....FREE OF CHARGE for the community.

Haha LoL. Leave me alone wgary I'm just pleased with my reborn X7500. and let's face it Platinum sounds better than Silver. hehe
Besides, think I might look into learning about ROM cooking and that 'teaser' name might just become a reality.
Think about it, WM5 network & CID locked Silver Ameo....now debranded & reborn Super CID & Sim Unlocked WM6 Platinum Edition Unleashed.....I think that qualifies it as an enhanced version of the standard X7500, plus it's a different colour...blah blah blah.
I would like to know which of these roms is the newest with windows mobile 6.I have not been as active because of work and noticed there is an upgrade but i dont know which one is suffice.

HTC Home on my x7501???
Is it possible to run the HTC Home plugin on my new x7501? I had the plugin on my upgraded TYTN, and I love it!
Also, where can I go to get good VGA themes for my device?
And last, but definitley not least... Is there anyway to get the default fonts to be smaller on my device? I already tried Settings -> Screen -> Text Size and set it to the smallest... but come-on I can still read it from across the room and that is an issue for me with regards to security of my information. Also, it would be nice to see more on the screen in general (icons and such).

Hope someone can help.T-Mobile 2.35 ROM is rubbish. I am looking for the HTC7500 upgrade with the functionality of the 7500. I cannot get the unlock to work...from Olipro although it says it is unlocked. When i try to flash with the HTC ROM, i get the message 'incorrect vendor'..maybe i am just to 'new' to this thing of upgrading. I had the Dopod ROM loaded but had to re-install 3 times when i get the incorrect password lockout. HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!!!

Request Custom made ROMs here (it's what YOU want) Back up :)

I offered this same service for the Kaiser and the Hermes (just now for the Hermes) and a lot of people seemed to like it so i thought i'd bring it here. It'll bring a lot more load on me, but i'm on summer vacation until the 25th and then school starts (will continue to do this even when i have school hopefully).
Most chefs tend to cook what the majority of the people like including myself. When i cooked my first ROM and asked people for feedback/suggestions, i did get a few programs that everybody liked but there were many suggestions of programs that each different user liked. So i could have cooked Livcast in which Joe wanted, but Mary wouldn't use it at all; that kind of thing
I couldn't get anybody to cook what i wanted so i did it myself So i'm opening up this thread for ANYBODY who has a request to cook a ROM which can include ANY program (or rather anything they want). I will cook commercial programs, but will NOT include any license/registration key; that's up to you to get. The format should look something like this:
Programs: Thousands of these.
Games: Thousands of these to
Version: Here you can tell me whether you want a cube version, non-cube version, diamond build, etc.
Other: Whatever else you'd like.
Preferred Upload Host: Have problems with RS? No problem, just tell me the site and i'll upload it there. I can also upload to Jannaa's blogspot thanks to her generosity!
You can help aplace4u.biz to stay free.
Chances are that I probably have access to the programs you want, so i'll make them to an OEM if i don't already have them.
I really want a Raphael/Fuze to so if you can, help me in getting one, i'd appreciate any support. This is 100% FREE and i'd like to help as much as I can, but if you can/are able to, i have PAYPAL ksallstar2013 at yahoo.

Radio is a software thing that can be changed. You could use the same radio for two countries, however you have to find the best fit one.

Actually, there are two different kitchens for each and i don't want to take a chance at messing up your device because they "look the same." If i have time, i'll go into the Diamond and see its whatabouts and get back to you (when i get my laptop back) Currently, i'm on my bro's computer (vista :\)
I also forgot to mention that l3v5y will also be helping me out in this project! We're going to work together to try and bring you guys the best custom ROMs I'm sure you guys all know him Support l3v5y if you can!!
Hello everyone!
As and when HardSPL is finalised for the Raphael, we can begin cooking, and releasing ROMs.
Anything in the Official (Shipped) ROMs you want removed can be removed, and (virtually) anything you want added can be added.

ROM cooking is not identical, but is similar. I'll go and grab a copy of the latest WWE ROM and try and apply those changes. It'll be an unsigned ROM though.
Alternatively, if you want to cook it yourself, you'll need to delete the OEM packs that have the names corresponding to the app (windows live is a SYS program, as is Windows Update and User Feedback), and look for all the files with names like "config.txt" and delete lines such as "CAB: \Windows\Opera.CAB" as they are cabs for Opera. There is one for manila as well.

First things first, remove the "PACKAGE_DIAMOND_MANILA" OEM pack.
Also remove the 0409 OEM pack (first make sure it contains only
Code:
69479299-552b-4c65-8085-cfeaaffda10c.dsm
mxipupdate_oemoperators_WeatherCityBase.provxml
_2330fc3c_manila
*** Note: not all Diamond ROMs contain this! ***
Finally, you have to remove the manila_PT_Reg.cab file, and the line associated with it in a config.txt file.
Thanx man for ur good and quick reply

where do i found this config,txt file? in the OEM folder or SYS folder?

It'll be in the OEM packs if its there... Do a search for "PT_Manila_REG.cab" to make sure it's there.
Perfect... thanx again
Besides the regular cooking it would be nice to see some adjustments on the home screen:
Make the clock, normal small digits so we get room back for other things, like seeing my agenda below it.
Also there is a good working CAB to get the Call history in the icons below so we can get rid of the line with big title under the clock.
Thanks, Bastiaan
@ l3v5y
another question please.
when i use an official rom (includes Radio) as a base ROM for cooking, will the radio be automatically included in the cooked ROM or do i have to do that manually during Build OS?

Kitchen for GENE and New GENE??

Hey Guys,
Its been a while since i am visiting this forum. I've seen that most of the phone specific Upgrading/Modifying sections have atleast one thread about a kitchen for that particular phone. But this is not the case with P3400 and P3400i also known as GENE and the New Gene.
Why is it so? There are 3-4 ROMS available for gene and now 1 for the New Gene too but none of the authors have shared the kitchen they used for the purpose.
I know there is a thread by a moderator in this forum where he has shared the tools he used for the purpose, but the thread is not written in such a way that it can be of use for a new person.
So i request all the senior members who have experiance with cooking roms for P3400 and P3400i to share the process and tools in a clear way so more good ROMs can be made by other people too or atleast some modifications can be tried out to make the existing ones work better.
That would be a good step for all.
I made a Kitchen for gene and i'm planning to release it soon. I need to correct some bugs and made a tutorial.
here is the link
but i don't have account on 4pda.ru
if any body has 4pda.ru account download and create mirror link
Thanks Ankit, i managed to create an account on 4pda.ru by translating russian into english by the Yahoo Babelfish service. It was quiet difficult but i somehow managed to do it. Currenlt downloading the file. Will post a mirror soon.
In the meantime, can anyone suggest a filesharing website where i can upload it for free and forever? On rapidshare they delete the uploaded file after sometime.
Hey guys!
Here is the mirror link for the GENE Kitchen. This kitchen is for both new and old gene. Kudos to Ankit for finding it
http://www.4shared.com/file/76585257/8f1b219e/gene_kitchen.html
But one thing still unsolved, the readme file is in i dont know what language, its not even Russian. And the files inside the kitchen also contain russian versions as far as i can guess.
Can anybody throw some light on how to use this kitchen to generate a stock WM 6.1 ROM without any custom software and ALL the default software. One thing i can guess is that if i want all the default features included then i'll have to move all the stuff from "Removed from Sys" folder to Sys folder. Am i right?

Ya i thought about that, but i guess 4Shared is good too. Is anybody having problem downloading the kitchen from 4shared?
Any updates on the Kitchen Guys??? I have managed to get the translation of the Readme done by Google translate. I have attached the translated file.
This kitchen is made from a Russian ROM as a base. So its unusable as far as i am concerned. Some tools, although are intresting. I have managed to make an automated batch script to dump a ROM Image's (.nbh file) contents into a folder. I call it ROMAnalyzer
To use it:
--------------
Extract the ROMAnalyzer.zip to a folder. Copy your ROM file to the directory. Now drag it to either FullDump.cmd or OSDump.cmd to start the process. Check out the output folder for the dump.
The difference between FullDump and OSDump is that FullDump dumps the imgfs filesystem and also leaves the XIP, NB and TXT files in the output folder for furthur analysis. OSDump just dumps the OS files.
Don't know whether it would be useful to anyone or not. Just sharing what i got. I use it to look into new ROMS after downloading them to see whats included, and sometimes, copy stuff off them like games, tones etc

Any Raphael cooks using Platformrebuilder?

I feel like a noob having to ask this, but are there any cooks around here that are using Bepe's Platformrebuilder? I've made several ROMs for my AT&T Fuze using Raphael Kitchen and I have a fair amount of experience cooking for my old ELF. I recently decided to give Platformrebuilder a go, but am having problems.
I follow along with the video tutorial and am able to create a ROM without errors. The problem is that it hangs on the splash screen after flashing. Normally I would see a hang like this if I made a registry error, but in this case I am cooking a stock ROM with no changes.
Do I need to modify anything before I can cook a stock ROM? I shouldn't need to port anything since I am working with an official hTC ROM. There are not that many references to people using Platformrebuilder, so I'm not sure where else to go for help. The Platformrebuilder forum is not very active.
Thanks,
TrueG
What version of platformrebuilder are u using?
I downloaded the stock kitchen & tools and then applied the update to 2.1.
While reading the Platformrebuilder comments over in the darkforcesteam forums I read a mention that v2.1 added support for AKU5. This made me think that maybe the new version was causing me problems. I extracted the original platformrebuilder.exe from the BASIC_RK.rar and copied over the 2.1 version and voila problem solved. Without changing anything in the kitchen, I built a new ROM and this time it didn't freeze at the splash screen.
I guess I will post this over in the darkforcesteam forum, though I don't know why this wouldn't have come up already.
UPDATE: !Aman! pointed out to me that I need to add 'set OLDKERNEL=1' to 'build_rom.bat' when using the updated exe (v2.1). This variable was not used in the original kitchen, so it needs to be added manually if you use the updated exe. The variable was added to support WM 6.5 ROMs (AKU5). It was not covered in the video tutorial (tutorial was released before update) and the notes are not clear unless you know what AKU5 is. Thanks to !Aman! and ark666 for responding to my questions. =)

Cooking Help

I was thinking of teaching myself how to cook WP7 for Leo. Ive looked through the HD2 section and the WP7 section. I got myself the kitchen and some basic instuructions, but i have a few questions.
1) where are the langugage files and how can i add/delete language abilities?
2) I can make the default.hvm file and user.hvm file, but how do i open them to edit things?
3) If i screw up cooking my ROM and test it on my HD2, will it brick the phone?
I really dont want to release something, that doesnt work, so if anyone could help me, that would be great!

Just for starters, have a look at Yuki's Great tut on cooking WP7, which i believe you already have.
now the questions,
1) i dont know much about this, but usually on x86 platform microsoft has ttf fonts for languages which are linked to system language preference using registry database.
2) they are registry hives, use any registry hive editor from google (works for me)
3) Nope, HSPL protects user from bad flashes in bootloader, MAGLDR protects HSPL by doing flash work in userspace. so if you flash a bad image, power goes off during flash using MAGLDR and DWI, only the data on NAND will be corrupt, you can still boot into HSPL bootloader and MAGLDR and next time you flash a good image, that will boot as well. (you will have to format/clean the partitions ofc if using Android)
Although this is a dev section its not for asking questions, do that in the Q&A forum.
The only posts here should be dev releases/projects/reference etc.
What do you think this section would look like if everybody was allowed to just post questions?? Thats the whole reason the Q&A forums were created in first place.
sorry TheATHEiST, my bad. ill remember that from now on.
@Rick_1995. Thanks for that! should get me started!

The .hvm files are actually editable in any text editor, as I found out. Just don't forget to convert them back to .hv files like I did.
