http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917594 common tutorials (including video) are in the first post - for WM and WP they are the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330850 - some video in the first post.
And - read the whole OsBuilder threads (both)

Thanks.

I have a few of questions. I have modified my first ever rom. Am so proud of myself.
Anyway, where in the registry do I select UK keyboard as default keyboard layout on first boot? At the moment it always defaults to US keyboard layout.
Where in registry do I choose UK language as default language and region upon first boot? I have chosen 0409 as default but it keeps using US region upon first boot.
Finally how do I stop preinstalled oem apps from reinstalling themselves after a reboot even though I uninstall them? I presume this is a registry tweak too. Many thanks.

Dump European stock 2.05 and take Language boot ID package from it (0809 default) or at least - have a look at the rgu file of it.

Dump another source rom. What did you expect dumping rom containing this bug? And - no - it's not a registry tweak! Sorrowfully.
So as you see - all answers to your questions are "dump proper source".
Normally you should dump stocks and create your kitchen. Than you develop the kitchen by adding unlocks and other goodies. Dumping someone's custom is a good step to start but later on - it's a dead end. You will continue to get bugs from other chiefs without having a possibility to find and fix them.

Thanks for the advice. Greatly appreciated. Yes I have modified an exisiting custom rom. It is a start anyway as I have never modified a rom before using the osbuilder. One day I will do it from scratch as you suggest . Thanks!

Can someone who is using en-GB (not US language/layout) as default language AND as keyboard layout and region please check in your registry and tell me what the data field for APC should be:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\International]
"LCID"=dword:809
"ACP"=dword:???
Many thanks!

You just cooked a bad rom That's the problem.
Continue trying. No one can tell why you got cyclic reboot. It's too common.

"LCID"=dword:809
"ACP"=dword:4e4

I Dump Nextgen 3.2 ROM for test
I Just Change the about page settings (EX name , Tel ) and rebuild ROM .
But still it reboots in HTC Logo
i didn'nt change any setting or folder but it reboots .
Any Solution ?

---

maybe its wrong radio?

---

tboy2000, it's absolutely useless to give any suggestions to the guy - we don't know even his device. According to his "Nextgen" - he is trying to cook for first gen device. That means - it has nothing to do with radio. First gen device roms are not dependable upon radio version.
His cyclic reboot on HTC logo can mean everything - beginning from non-booting XIP and finishing mistakes in OEM part. The only solution for him - continue trying. And playing with settings of OsBuilder. As I already told - dumping customs - absolutely wrong way.
The source of XIP, SLDR and OEM must be STOCK rom!

Inside Your ROM to insert (in OEM and XIP) packages with full Unlock from Ultrashot (including corresponding to utility and editing the reg).

В данном случае гугел-транслятор просто не работает. Нельзя экстраполировать напрямую русское построение предложений - смысл теряется конкретно
Google is not good to translate the sentences - it works for words - maximum for expressions. Otherwise you get no sense.
To fran_1970
The best way - to write a PM to ultrashot asking him to give you unlock packages set. One package should be placed in XIP, other packages to EXT or OEM or wherever.
