Hi all!
I want to present the tool which can port/rebuild XIP (NK) and build IMGFS partition file for Windows Phone 7 with real registry recompiling and relocations according to WP7 memory model.
It can also build NB (D000FF and WMSTORE containers) and NBH files for HTC WP7 devices (tested on HTC HD2, HTC HD7, HTC Mozart, HTC Radar, HTC Titan).
This thread is the continuation of OSBuilder for WM topic. The future discussion about WP7 ROM assembling by means of OsBuilder will take place over here
Thanks again to the team (AndrewSh, Feropont, Vladimir1973, lucifer3006) - for the support, for the tests, for your work!
Special thanks to HD2Owner for enthusiasm and his titanic work in testing WP7mode.
Thanks a lot to AnDim for his tenderness and important information provided.
Sincerely,
Barin and Ultrashot

To -=Barin=- and Ultrashot
Dear friends!
Thank you for all the help you have given me with my WP7 experience.
I especially appreciate the information and advices you have provided, and the excellent OsBuilder you have shared with me. Your assistance has been invaluable to me!
Again, thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your generosity, willingness to help and friendship.
Regards
Andrew.
Changelog - OS Builder V1.3.187 FULL (03.11.2011)
1. Fixed issue with deleting a parameter defined in boot.rgu, if the removing directive was stored in other packages - the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18251257&postcount=564
The second step to full WP7 support
2. Relocation engine is totally redesigned. (Hats off to Ultrashot for valuable help with WP7 modules Z .reloc sections)
3. Added possibility of porting/rebuilding XIP (NK) and the assembling IMGFS partition file for Windows Phone 7 with real registry recompiling and relocations according to WP7memory model (tested on HTC HD2, HTC HD7 and HTC Mozart. Credit for tests goes to Feropont and HD2Owner)
I want to warn that the registry files have to be checked by registry preview, because there is a hell of syntax errors in the original registry. Frankly, it seems (IMHO) that first the registry was generated and then some comments for dumb and mistakes were added.
Registry Preview will define incorrect lines to help you to fix that. The most common errors are:
- Parameter name without the quotes
- The comments are not marked with a semicolon or marked with colon.
- HEX type values end with point (the last or the only parameter line)
- The value MULTI_SZ contains comments between the lines parameter
- Existence of Directives for conditional compilation IF ... END (it's not a mistake, but currently these directives are not processed, so you should label them as a comment)
4. The dsm-editor has now the feature to set/clear Z-flags for modules.
Warning! This flag is used for WP7 XIP modules only if the RW section of a module must be located within the boundaries of RAMStart-RAMFree (nk.exe, kernel.dll, kitl_noplat.dll and similar)
5. For WP7 - Added ability to edit the file MsDefaultcerts.dat (see Additional Tools)
6. For WP7- Added ability to edit files CoreOS.dat and initobj.dat (see Additional Tools)
7. Added ability to automatically insert a certificate which will sign files while assembling DefaultCerts.dat and MsDefaultCerts.dat (for WP7) - see the settings in Build Dump and ROM. The original files stay untouched.
8. XIP Port settings - added the list of additional MS packages (for WP7). When porting WP7 XIP, the packages specified in this list will be replaced with donor packages.
At the moment, we can safely add the following packages to this list:
BaseDrivers_NK
CCFGSVC
GFX_NK
KFPCRT
Watson_Core
WinCENLS
9. In Configuration and packages tab of Setting - added the option "Always include 0409packages." If your WP7kitchen allows the language selection, it is recommended to use this option enabled to include English-language packages by default to your ROM, otherwise there is risk to get non-bootable ROM.
10. Added - the ability to build NB files (! For the moment only D000FF container !, NB assembling for the new _wmstore structure devices is not supported yet) and NBH files for WP7
To build NB you should have the original NB and should define the way to it in Build ROM settings, for example ".\NB\OS.nb". Unfortunately, to get rid of the original NB is not yet possible, but the work is in process. Hats off to AnDim for help and information provided. NBH build configuration settings are similar to the previous version, except that the CID tab can contain multiple values (each value in a separate line)
Warning! If you plan to use for cooking WP7 dump obtained by earlier versions of OSBuilder, I would strongly recommend you to dump again, and to copy the new ROM template \ ROM.tpl to your kitchen. The new template will contain additional service information, which was not recorded in earlier versions of OSBuilder
11. OSBuilder is fully backward compatible with WM6.x kitchens, (it was a big deal btw, but it was implemented). When you open the kitchen OSBuilder automatically detects the required mode WM6/WP7.
This compatibility will remain for the future, but no new features for WM kitchens will be added. OSBuilder WM Kitchens Development is terminated due to the termination of WM6.5.x development from MS side.
Thanks again to the team (AndrewSh, Feropont, Vladimir1973) - for the support, for the tests, for your work!
Special thanks to HD2Owner for enthusiasm and his titanic work in testing WP7mode.

We do not distribute SYS here. We provide only the OsBuilder. For SYS and other device specific packages - ask in the rom topics from the rom developers.
Thanks for new version, I've dump HTC Titan rom and now trying to rebuilt.

Titan is the second generation device with another rom structure (_wmstore)
Only nk and imgfs partition files can be built for it, but not NB. Current version of OSBuilder supports D000FF NB container only, but not _wmstore/_wmpart
Dude you is a wonder. Thank you very much...

Thanks Barin, that's reason why I've an error . But nice, can begin to see registry, packages etc...
Thanks a billion Barin, as well as to his team mates.
Excellent work indeed! This is what I was waiting for, before I put my hands into WP7 on HD2.
Let me dig in and see whats under wp7 hood.
Thanks again...
Best Regards
Edit:
I just tried to dump and rebuild an WP7 ROM made for HD2.
* Dumped successfully
* Fixed the registry errors
* When building, I get "The given key was not present in the dictionary." No idea what it means but I haven't changed any files/folders.
* Disable Demand Paging is empty but no idea either were does those list of modules comes while building.
Any idea whats wrong am I doing?
Great work, thanks a bunch.

Don't worry 'bout the list - it appears only because OsBuilder detects correspondent flags assigned to these modules. About the mistake - not sure -better later Barin will explain it more correctly than me....

Hello XDAians,
This thread is a Contact Book for everyone on XDA, it was started in the RC section but as everyone wouldn't be able to view it & use it I've started it here as well for the benefit of everyone.
- Have you ever thought of teaming up with people for starting a new project ?
- Do you need help ? (Checkout the 2nd post)
- Or maybe you were just looking for someone who could help you by clarifying your doubts on something / some project / some guide / etc ?
- But sometimes have ended up not finding the right people or it turned into a very tedious process ?
This thread has been started to make the process of collaborating with fellow members on any project ( ROM / MOD / Dev projects, Guides, etc) an easier & a simpler process.
I would request all the members to make a single post in this thread.
In this make a post describing yourselves & you can include anything, here are some points you could consider:
- A short but informative description about yourself.
- Projects you have completed / currently on going
- Devices you own / have worked with / are presently working with
- etc
You could list the Languages you know:
- English
- Hindi
- German
- Russian
- Chinese
- French
- etc
You could list the Programming languages you know:
- C
- C++
- Objective C
- Java / Java Script
- VB .NET
- etc
How would you like to be contacted:
- Via PM on XDA
- Facebook Page
- Twitter ID
- Google+ Page
- Email ID
- etc
How to use TAGS to help fellow RCs get info at a glance:
- At the end of your description add [TAGS] which describe yourself / your work / your knowledge in short. I have listed some reference TAGS below which you could make use of & will help you get an idea.
- The 2nd & 3rd posts of this thread will be used for listing the names & TAGS.
Here are some of the reference TAGS that you could use in your post:
- [GUIDES] [ROM] [AOSP] [KERNEL] [CM ROM] [AOKP] [TWEAKER] [THEMER] [COUNTRY]
- [DEVICES YOU OWN / HAVE WORKED / WORKING ON / MADE GUIDES ON] e.g. [GALAXY R] [MOTO RAZR] [GALAXY S2] [ONE X] [XPERIA S]
Here's a sample of the post which you can use, but it's just a sample & your post can be different:
Hello, I am 'Mr. X' from Antarctic & have been making guides & developing for various devices on XDA.
I have made Newbie friendly Guides & Rooting Guides for the following devices:
- Galaxy S4
- Motorola Atrix 3
- LG Optimus 6X
- Xperia Arco S2
- HTC One Z
In the past I have developed ROMs based on AOSP / CM 11 by including my own Tweaks & MODs for Galaxy S4 & O6X.
Currently I am developing MODs for HTC One Z, some of them include reducing the power usage by the device & make this beautiful device's battery last longer than 16hrs. Some HTC One Z users say that this device gets very warm on usage but I gotta tell you this, the device remains super cold even on heavy usage.
If are you looking to team up for developing a new ROM based on AOSP then you can contact me on my FB page in my Sig / just send me a PM. If you have already developed a ROM then I can improve it further by making MODs for it.
Programming languages I know:
- C++
- Objective C
- Java script
Languages known:
- English
- French
- Hindi
- German
- Russian
You need help with any of the devices which I own (check Sig) ? Then don't worry just chill, just contact me via PM / FB I'll help you.
Cheers !

Hi all. I am from India.
I m mostly active in SGR forum, helping peoples with their common problems. i have basic knowledge about android dont have much knowledge in developing. but loves to help here with what i know. i am also a good tester almost tested everything made for galaxy r (and some things which were not made for SGR :-#) and because of this testing addiction i have hard bricked my device for 4 times and discovered many bugs.
u can contact me via PM here on XDA, i m here almost all the time.

Always keen to learn something new & want to share it to everybody.:highfive: Just do R&D lots of times. when Bad emmc chip bug was shown in Galaxy R & Devs suggested not to Erase data via CMW, I did 4-5 times & didn't see any bricked issue. So, always ready for testing new ROM & Applications.

Hey guys,
I'm KidCarter93 (obviously) but you can call me James. The devices I currently have are Samsung Galaxy S2(international) and Nexus 7 WiFi but I help out all over the place, so you may see me around :)
Unfortunately, I don't have any development skills yet :(
As far as my threads on XDA go, I've made a couple of index threads (ROMs, kernels, recoveries etc.) and I've also made a couple of Help Threads.
Do you need an FAQ written for your ROM/kernel/mod? --> Let me know and I will do that for you :)
The only language I can speak is English, even though I learnt French in school I'm no good :(
Programming languages - I know basic PHP, basic Java and HTML.
If you wish to contact me regarding a team up, then the best option is to send me a PM on here and I'll generally respond very quickly because I'm never off xda :D

Hello,
I would like to inform you that I'm rebuilding Easy2Prog who was available for PPC (Windows Mobile) and made by me (sitajony, I've just changed my username).
This application can run a script language called "E2P" directly on your Smartphone (Android, Windows Phone and iOS), for now I prefere to work on Android...
With this application you'll can do anything without knowledges, it can be used by ROM developers to build some tweaks or settings or other...
You can also make any application in any language (French, English, Russian ...), the applications can be wrote directly on the smartphone with a simple text editor or with my dedicated script editor.
My question is : Someone is interested ? And if he want, who want to be an alpha/beta tester ?
Thank you.
An alpha version is now available, it's just a test, if everything is ok (No crash ...).
Site : www[dot]easy2soft[dot]com
Zip (for test only) : www[dot]easy2prog[dot]com/downloads/easy2prog.zip
My favorites examples are :
- Serveur.e2p who can create a "web server" (in typing (Your ip):8086/ it just show an image when the server is started)
- net.e2p : It download an example (in E2P) from my web site and run it
To run an exemple select the e2p files
To edit scripts, open the e2psource files from Easy2Prog editor (in the zip)
Thank you for your help.
Forum
A forum is now available for Easy2Prog on the web site, if you have troubles with this alpha version you can report it on this forum...
Thank you for your contributions.
Already 1 tester, he's realy good but I need some others testers ...
With this project you'll can create your own applications without PC and fastly, it'll could be used for custom rom and any other project type...
Thank you for your help.
It's increasingly resulted, maybe I'll build a beta version who'll be downloadable by everyone in few days.
But I need some others alpha testers before...
Anyone can test this project ?
A first beta version will be available soon, We just have to finish the designer mode and add some graphics functions and anyone will can test without be registered in the website.
If you want test and make this project better before the first beta version you can help us in registering on the website's forum.
Thank you
PS : Only french functions are available for the moment, sorry ...
Hello,
I'm using a HTC One m7 currently running the now defunct Cyanogenmod rom, dl from them: version 12.1-20160325-nightly-m7
On this build, when browsing non-ssl website, a script tag is added at the end of the head block (most of the time):
Code:
<script src="http : / / softwarebundles . com/js/in.js"></script>
(I add to break the link to post it here (forum restrictions))
This js script seams to replace the src of some specific iframe, it seams ads related.
I have the same result in the default browser, chrome and firefox.
- Can a app be responsible for it ?
- If you are still using a cyanogenmod rom, can you check the source of some non-ssl website ?
- anything I could check ?
Thank you.
Hey everyone,
Due to the lockdown in my country I have to stay home. What a better way to do this than working on a project right ?
The idea is to create a simple launcher with the basic functionnality :
having an app drawer
home screen with dock
possibility to create folder on homescreen
possibility to remove app / folder from homescreen
bonus : possibility to add icon pack
You see, very basic as I said.
I started from scratch, but yesterday I asked on Lawnchair's community telegram and someone talked to me about Launcher3.
I didn't know this launcher and I discovered that a lot of launcher are based on Launcher3, they are all a fork from it.
This motivate me to do a fork to.
But I have a lot of problems to build the launcher itself. I clone the project, open it with Android Studio and I have errors from gradle, when I fix them I have other errors. I think I'm doing wrong but I searched online and I don't find any ressources that can help to start this project or give me clues to understand better.
I am a beginner in Android dev, but trust me I have a really strong motivation I don't want to hear "This is to difficult for you mate, try something else"
Thank you for reading me
hello, you means you want to make a personal launcher project base on launcher3. so now what's your problem in make it build success?
Based on our previous experience, may be has fllow steps:
1.you need a aosp source(or you already have other rom code choose, it's ok), and build it;
2.get the framework.jar from the out path intermediates (for launcher3 has many class only system framework contain);
3.copy launcher3 code from aosp source to your owner path, and make an Android studio project;
4.copy the second step framework.jar to the launcher3 Android studio project(you can put it under app/libs/) and just compileOnly the framework.jar(we just need to declare some system class for compile, finally when the app work it still base on different devices owner framework in the system);
5.add flowing code in you build.gradle:
gradle.projectsEvaluated {
tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
options.compilerArgs << '-Xbootclasspath/p:libs/framework.jar'
}
}
6.if you have a some v7 package implements may be some time will show you some <attr> conflict, like <attr name="icon"> conflict, just change it to <attr name="icon" format="string"> is ok.
Under normal conditions，above steps can help you to make your launcher3 project work well in AS, and also you can compare some open source in github, there has some launcher3 AS project. hope to work for you, if not work for you, you can show the error message you meet more detail, may be we can help to found out the problem
Bro I think you can use jadx decompiler and any working laucher3 to show their source code. Learn from it how the stuffs work. Then start a new project from scratch in Android Studio.. Modify for your own needs.

3.copy launcher3 code from aosp source to your owner path, and make an Android studio project;
4.copy the second step framework.jar to the launcher3 Android studio project(you can put it under app/libs/) and just compileOnly the framework.jar(we just need to declare some system class for compile, finally when the app work it still base on different devices owner framework in the system);
5.add flowing code in you build.gradle:
gradle.projectsEvaluated {
tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
options.compilerArgs << '-Xbootclasspath/p:libs/framework.jar'
}
}
6.if you have a some v7 package implements may be some time will show you some <attr> conflict, like <attr name="icon"> conflict, just change it to <attr name="icon" format="string"> is ok.
Under normal conditions，above steps can help you to make your launcher3 project work well in AS, and also you can compare some open source in github, there has some launcher3 AS project. hope to work for you, if not work for you, you can show the error message you meet more detail, may be we can help to found out the problem

Hey,
Thank you for your answer. I clone launcher 3 from here : ht tps:// android.googlesource.com/ platform/ packages/ apps/ Launcher3
But I can built it on android studio, am I doing it wrong ? (I'm on Windows 10 btw)
I open the folder Launcher3 (from which I cloned) and AS ask me for gradle location ...
Thanks again.
