Which ROM? Which add-ons? Confused! - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Hi,
I've just stumbled across this project and hence discovered that I have the option to use software other than the official HTC-release ROMs.
I have an unlocked X7500 which I had previously been using with the original HTC image (WM5). I upgraded to their new WM6 image which of course meant that I had to re-install all my customisations so I decided to take the opportunity to investigate the various custom ROMs.
I am now running PK's Project Black v2.0.
What I'm struggling with is trying to work out what additional upgrades I can/should apply to this image. For example, the various Radio ROM upgrades - are they required with PK's PB 2.0?
Is there a definitive list that describes what software is available for WM6 images, especially PB 2.0?
One specific question I have is: should I install all the add-ons from the PK 2.0 Add-ons bundle? Also, how do I install those cab files?
Any clarification would be much appreciated to someone new to this area.
Thanks,
R.

The newest Radio Rom is already included in Black Touch 2.

There are tons of programs available for WM6,
I think there is no list of all those,
just like there is no list for all WinXP programs out there.
The additional sw for BlackTouch2 can be found in the ADDONS Cab.

It's up to you.
If you want Acobat, intall it.
If you like TCPMP, install it.
To install, copy the cab files to you device,
and open them with a file explorer (on your device)
You can delete the cab files after installation.
PS: You don't have to think about which ROM to choose,
you already have the best out there

I think what I was meaning was more along the lines of "what are all the programs in the add-on rarball?". Obviously, I know what Acrobat is (!) but what's RealVGA? And something like "WM5_PPC_HTC_Opera865_2211_generic.cab" - Opera, from WM5? Why would I want/need that on WM6? You understand what I'm asking?

Thanks. I'm still relatively new to my X7500 and am still getting to grips with it.

Read the RealVGA thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830 The Athena doesn't run at full V+GA resolution RealVGA lets you change the res so you can see more on scree, being an old git I use the middle of the 3 resolutions available using RealVGA.
The Opera cab is the latest version of Opera - I believe teh WM5 prefix was put on by Opera - but it is the latest version for WM6 as well
Can't remember what else is in there at the mo - don't have it with me but if you ask I'm sure someone will answer. All the progs are the latest and best of breed for WM6 and if you want them, install them.

Customized WM2003SE Extended ROM - Asian Edition Version 2

This is a more stable extended ROM since it is based on the Asian O2 Xda IIs which is built for WM2003SE.
PLEASE READ, as I notice a lot of questions are already answered in this first post.
I have also noticed a lot of "how-to" questions which have already been answered in other areas in the forum. Before downloading this, I strongly advise to browse the forum first to get an idea of how to upgrade or flash your device.
This is a .ZIP file containing only the extended ROM, the files I removed (Xda IIs specific) and some programs from the other extended ROMs posted in the forum that I feel are useful.
The extended ROM version is 1.12.924 WWE and was successfully tested against the 2.06 main ROM and the 1.18 radio varsion.
The bootscreen will say "Xda IIs" after the extended ROM AutoRun is completed.
I added the following:
1. Camera Software (none was included in the stock Xda IIs ROM, but does not support landscape mode)
2. EmailWiz (e-Mail setup Wizard)
3. ClearType Tuner (for adjusting the cleartype fonts)
4. Extended ROM Viewer (registry patch to make the extended ROM visible in File Manager)
5. Xda II ThumbPad Keyboard Driver
6. Intellipad (cellphone-like input software)
7. Latest Socket SDIO Wi-Fi Driver (compatible with Socket and Sandisk)
8. CAB Installer Utility (copied as cabinstl.exe in the \Windows folder - just manually create a shortcut)
I removed the following (included in .ZIP file):
1. BA_Album_WWE.CAB (already included in Camera software)
2. Camera_Patch_10080401.sa.CAB (Xda IIs specific)
3. DelAddStarMenu_092404.sa.CAB (Xda IIs specific)
4. Java_V10.1.2.49_BA_WWE_0901_unremovable.CAB (took up too much space)
5. O2_Base_09240402.sa.CAB (Xda IIs specific)
6. o2_connect_iis.cab (Xda IIs specific)
Also included in the .ZIP file:
1. IntelliDialer_T-Mobile_WWE_RC10.CAB (Intellidialer fro dcs ROM)
2. IntelliPadCustomSkin.zip (custom skin for Intellipad included in ROM)
3. KSE2.08WWE_O2Limit_20040901.sa.CAB (KSE TruFax v2.08 for Xda II)
4. spb_gprs_v2.20(build487)_magician_wwe_1007_cid.cab (SPB GPRS Monitor from Magician ROM)

Hi ZeroZtreme!
I just installed the IIs version by Dr. Stein but could not have landscape mode as the 3rd button for camera was missing from the Buttons menu. My camera button could not be activated. The 3rd button place is now occupied by O2 Today and on the 5th line is Screen Rotate which is not there for the II version.
Does yours have these problems?
BTW, I thougt KSE Truefax latest version for O2 XDA II is v2.09?
:roll:
why is this one less than half the size of the first one you made?

The stock extended ROM for the Xda IIs does not come with the camera software, only a patch. The one I made includes the latest version of the camera software and dows not re-map the buttons for the IIs since I took out all the Xda IIs specific files.

It only includes the extended ROM (ms_.nbf) and some files that I removed from the stock ROM. I also included other useful programs in the zip file from the other ROMs posted.
RE
HI ZeroXtreme!
I removed those 6 files specific for IIs fom the EXT ROM and my camera (3rd button) is now working. Landscape works as well through button mapping.
However, the problem of the vanishing bluetooth headset icon on the Today screen is still there like when I insert my O2 into its cradae for activesyncing. Cannot be solve, huh?

v2.51 (Build 16393)
great work kabayan zero extreme.
i'm still enjoying the 1st one you posted and you come up with a new one!
i've had no problems with the 1st one yet so i'll keep it for the meantime.
i'd like to ask if the windows media player 10 is available on this ROM, if not, can it included?
Does anyone aware about why the camera cab was not included in XDA IIs Extended ROM?
RE
Hi!
I'm still getting the v2.50 for the camera. I think my camera files are mixed up.
I believe somebody asked for it in another thread but I could not find it. Do you think you can upload the v2.51 camera files here?
Thanks
@ZeroExtreme
pardon me pare how do i use it? i'm using your version of WM2003SE on my XDAII, i want to use this ext rom, can u give a step by step guide.
do i need to reflash?
theres an extended rom dir on my XDAII, do i delete all files in here and extract your version 2 here?
do i need to do a hard reset to install this?
thanks, my speaker icon is vanishing after changing today's wallpaper but when you tap the place where it should be the volume controls appears weird...

Nice to hear. This extended ROM is definitely more stable and faster than the previous one though.
Still did not include the Media Player 10, if someone can post the .CAB file I will include it.

I am assuming it is built-in to the main ROM of the IIs.

Finally, I found the v2.51 file for the camera.

You just have to replace the ms_.nbf file in the old one with the one included in the zip file posted here, and I would recommend a full re-flash including the main ROM and the radio. I noticed that when I flash just the extended ROM, it leaves my device in bootloader mode.
You can't delete the contents of the extended ROM on your device, it will be replaced when you re-flash.
I recommend you backup all your important data on the device first.
Again, a very nice job well done ZeroXtreme. I hope people realise just how much time you have put into producing these customised ROMs.
All we need now is WMP10 and a complete working Bluetooth solution .

HTC Touch Pro Stock ROM Dump (Multilingual/Arabic Supported)

Hey guys,
I extracted my ROM and was wondering if anyone here was interested in obtaining it. I bet some people need this, so enjoy Next step when i have a bit of time and some concentration, is to learn cooking
I did a dump of my HTC Touch Pro Stock ROM which has the latest ROM Update that HTC Has Released Recently for the Middle East.
Took the RUU_signed from this latest HTC ROM Update: _HTC Touch_Pro_RUU_Raphael_HTC_ARA_2.01.415.3_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe
Information about this stock ROM:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19965 (Build 19965.1.2.3)
Multilingual Support Installed. If you flash this your ROM interface will be in Arabic, you can of course manually change the options to make the interface in English but keep Arabic language support on (Reading/Writing) and you can even disable the multilingual altogether.
Uses (MOBiDIV Multilingual Support Version 3.0 Build 416 Gardenia Package Number: 32)
ROM Version: 2.01.415.3 WWE
ROM Date: 02.23.09
Radio Version: 1.11.25.01
Protocol Version: 52.58.25.30U
ExtPkg Version: 2.1.415.2
Before i post the files , i need to ask the experts which files are safe for me to post here. As in, are there any precautions i have to take i means of a certain ROM has an internal serial/activation on a certain software which may cause problems if i share them? Yes, am totally a noob in flashing WinMo phones, we all start somewhere
The stuff i have are as follows:
Part00.raw
Part01.raw
Part02.raw
Part03.raw
Part00.raw
The below are two ROMs since i created the RUU_Signed.nbh using two methods, after checking their hash, they had different ones, so i publish both :
Using instructions from Here - (Using e,b,space,c,a in RaphaelKitchen.CMD)
Result: RUU_Signed.nbh MD5 Hash: 512ea7b4435b923a3cd6a687eec79dcd
Thanks to jcespi2005
Using instructions from Here - (Using e,b,space,c,b in RaphaelKitchen.CMD)
Result: RUU_Signed.nbh MD5 Hash: 6958d00c322a91b4d679509ae4a9a02f
Thanks to Angelusz
ROM Dump Experts, please inform me which files should i publish. (Again i am asking this in case there is some kind of serial numbers/activation codes...etc). I might at any time switch back to this Stock ROM and would like to have stuff work normally
Now, I'll go ahead with HardSPL and try some cooked ROMs from the lovely chefs here in xda ( Soon, I'll join the kitchen ), any suggestion of a Cooked ROM to try out?
Wont ask what is the best ROM since there is no such thing. Basically, what am looking for is the following:
A ROM with the latest updates and Manila installed
A ROM which would allow me to read/write Arabic after i install some cabs i have my hands on right now
Lots of nice tools and programs that most probably we all use
And of course, something better than this junk slow Stock ROM (Speed / Stability)
Any Suggestions? Am considering: PROven ROM WWE 3.1 21042 out of a fast search on XDA.
Thanks to everyone in the community for making XDA such a wonderful knowledge base for all of us to learn from.
Reserved (Just in case )
Dear Amnya,
did you buy your phone from UAE? if yes, you don't have to go through this hassle. Just use your S/N on HTC site and get the latest ROM. I'm from Egypt, I have the Egypt Arabic ROM which is a Fiasco as the GPS is disabled. I've been waiting for you for a loooonnnngggg time
By the way, about a nice fast ROm, consider also NRGZ28's Energie ROM ver. 2.0 32609. It is great and Arabic works flawlessly.

Hey mate, am glad you found me then Now regarding the phone, yes i got it from the UAE and it had no Arabic Letters Imprinted on the Keyboard (Which is GREAT).
As for your comment marked in red above, i know this, and i actually flashed my mob with that official stock ROM, the point is that i DO NOT want to stay on this stock rom and want to try using Cooked ROMs and maybe even start cooking my own ROMs for this great community.
But before flashing, i thought I'd better backup my current ROM just in case HTC releases an official windows 6.5 upgrade for free or something, or in case my phone dies and i would need to place things back to factory defaults/updates.
You mentioned that you are using "...the Egypt Arabic ROM which is a Fiasco as the GPS is disabled..." i did not quit understand what you meant there. Why is the GPS disabled? :S Is Fiasco a Cooked ROM that doesn't support GPS?
Cheers, and PS: I am still waiting for experts to assure me on what to exactly upload. Cheers

Thank you for your recommendation, checked the ROM details, and i pretty like what i see and since you say that it works with Arabic flawlessly, it makes me love it more Lets see what that Ferrari has to offer
Would you recommend that Microsoft Voice Commander or the standard one? :S What does that MSVC actually differ? i never used this MSVC.
Cheers
GPS is banned in Egypt, therefore the HTC original ROM for Egypt is without GPS drivers.
can you by any chance post the HTC ROM you flashed?
MSVC stands for MicroSoft Voice Command. It simply does what it says, commanding the phone by voice, never tried it and couldn't care less. I would recommend the other one: CSVD
You will like the Ferrari, it is great.

I would i just need to understand if i face any OEM/Licencing or anything of that sort if i do publish it. And a small question, wouldn't it help you if i upload or link you to the update that HTC released recently?
And btw, the flash i dumped is an NBH file, how can i create an executable so i only double click when i need to install it?
I do understand that to flash the nbh file i will use the kitchen tools and cab files, but wouldn't it be best if its a simply executable?
If anyone knows about this thing i would appreciate it
Cheers
If you have the latest Raphael Kitchen then in the tools folder you will find an exec file called RaphaelCustomRUU.exe.
Put this in the same folder as your nbh file and run it. Follow the instructions.
This will put the rom on your device.

Thanks for the valuable info But i was asking on how to create an executable. Not important
Now lets focus on the main stuff Which files should i upload here? in means of my own safety of loosing valuable serials/activations pre-built in the ROM and stuff like that? Or is that irrelevant in WinMo?

Read this especially points 6 and 7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=440
Serials and activations are only there if you put them there. If you can't remove them then don't include these particular programs. If you look in the SYS or OEM parts of the rom in the kitchen you will see most programs used and if you know what you are doing you can edit or remove them.

I did not understand the reason for you pointing out i read those two points :S Who said i want to post wares? I was asking about something else. i have a Stock ROM after a hard reset, i did the Flash Dump and got the original ROM off of the phone, then created the new ROM file using those files i extracted from my phone in addition to the RUU file from an HTC ROM.
That produced a file, i am asking, is it safe to upload that file for the public to benefit from? OR would it harm me somehow, one way or another? For example, in the stock rom the Multilingual support by Mobidiv is installed and it never asks for any activation, which from my understanding means that it comes registered with the phone or with the rom, something like that. Now wouldn't me posting that dump here bad for me mobidiv and so on? Or its a safe thing to do?
Thank you

As I understand it CIT MOBIdiv have an agreement with HTC so that for this program you are probably ok to include it. Google Mobidiv and see what is said.
The reason I gave you that reference is that I didn't know which programs you were refering to and if they had been paid for seperately from your phone and therefore would be ware.

Thank you very much for your continuous update
But i still did not get my answer, what files should i publish here, and is it totally safe?
PS: Am on the new energy ROM 32609 and DAAAAAAMN! ITS FAST!!!
My first flashing went great and the ROM is wonderful too, what a lucky night
Cheers
Amnya, you can direct me to the link of HTC but to download it I need your S/N on the back of the phone behind the battery (unless you already uploaded it somewhere and have the link). If you don't feel confortable to give the S/N away for any reason, please upload the original ROM. Almost all original ROMs from HTC are here somewhere or another in every forum (links of course) without the slightest problem (legally I mean). And there will be no issues also regarding software copyrights.
Glad that you liked the Energie ROM, enjoy....

Hey mate, will post you the link to the document later on tonight, currently i am at work One problem though, Arabic is NOT supported, so what should i install to make it support reading and writing arabic? Actually am only interested in reading
Can someone post a link to the needed software or update? I tried the ARA_Patch.cab that HTC released then drew back after the latest ROM Update, but it did nothing. So any ideas?
Cheers
My answer to your problem
http://www.4shared.com/dir/18171659/bed506eb/Arabic.html
use these files as follows:
- Copy the files in Arabic folder to your phone any where
- Install each file in main memory in the same sequence as numbered
- Do not restart when any one of the files installing prompts you to do so
- Only restart when finishing the last install
- Thank me plenty

Iolite WM6.1 (build 21055) WWE XDA_UC with Mega OEM (in progress)

update 23/10/2009 - current project state is in this post
original post:
I've build new ROM based on latest WM6.1 build and packages from HTC Mega
There were some problems with new HCT Album 3, Manila2d 2 and EzInput 2, and I didn't update them.
I use Manila 1.20 and Iolite versions of Album and EzInput.
All other packages are updated.
If someone needs this ROM, I will upload it.
Screenshots:
EzInput 2 will work if you replace the touch.dll in OEMDRIVERS with that from MEGA OEMDRIVERS folder
HTC Album will work if you replace the files ha_skin_l.xml and ha_skin_p.xml in .........\OEM\Iolite_MEGA\0409\ExtraFilesPkg with these from manila album package(in building these from the above folder which are for iolite's album version ovewrite these from mega)
And manila should work, what doesn't work in your build?
dancer_69: What did you mean by replacing files for HTCAlbum3? I have to overwrite _ha_skin_l.xml and _ha_skin_p.xml in OEM\Iolite\0409\ExtraFilesPkg with ha_skin_l.xml and ha_skin_p.xml from MEGA package?
Yes.
In this folder are these 2 xml files from Iolite's album version. When you build the rom, some how these files overwrite these in mega's album package folder. So the rom have the old version of these files and for this the album doesn' t function right.
So, you need to replace them with the newer version.
Hi, Server222,
Please upload a ROM if you have some satisfied one.
BTW, did you make Footprint work with M2D. Footprint is the spirit of Polite, we should not leave it.
Thanks.
Wang
Sorry, but there were problems with g-light and I reverted my ROM to Iolite packages.
Another problem was - YouTube search button is inactive (maybe because this is beta).
EzInput 2 works, but I cannot choose other keyboards. There is workaround on this forum, but it still has some disadvantages.
I don't like HTC Menu as it cannot be configured to exclude some apps. (I use Finger menu).
I just can say - almost all MEGA packages released by Da_G works not only with wm6.5 but with w6.1 (build 21054)
The main hack you should do - do not include PACKAGE_MEGA_HTCScroll, it depends on wm6.5.
Add HTCScroll.dll and HTCScroll2.dll to your ROM (search this thread more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541750&highlight=scroll, for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4242024&postcount=241)
I don't want use unstable/beta software in my ROM.
(but I can help with setting up Ervius kitchen for such ROM, if someone wants to try this).

I have exactly the same opinion. I was playing with Mega packages on WM6.1 for almost three weeks, but it brings more problems that benefits. And until oficial WM6.5 is released, I will not cook WM6.5 ROM for Iolite.
In contrast, I am focusing on optimalization of last Iolite official ROM. This means removing all unneeded stuff from OEM, SYS and EXT including file editing.

That´s absolutely right! My opinion too! I find a good working old app better as a glitching new app.
Greetings!
Hi.
I'm tired with 6.5, can you please upload a fast 6.1 image? I could also use the office package, I sometimes use mobile excel.
Thanks!

I'm finishing ROM upgrade to wm6.1 build 21055.
I solved g-light issue with Mega packages.
Just want to test it more.
I'll be back this week and bring you new ROM =)
I can't wait for it, don't want wm6.5 anymore
I downloaded final Mega packages, and I'm going to continue this project.
Almost all works, even Manila2 with flipping clocks and location based weather on home screen.
Now I have 4 issues, not so important to me, but
maybe someone here can help me:
1. Manila2 has soft key "All settings" - it doesn't work in WM6.1
2. Manila2 has "Wallpaper" item on Settings tab - it allows me to restore default wallpaper, and do nothing if wallpaper is not changed (I still can change it if I go to Settings -> Today.
3. Mega Album 3 is not working - it starts wait for a second and exit.
Iolite Album 2.5 works fine
4. Mega YouTube 2.6 works, but buttons at the bottom of the screen don't work. No search, no favorites... It looks to me it can work, I saw it was working, but then I added some packages and it is broken now.
Iolite Youtube 1.6 works fine.
5. All custom words in XT9 My Words List disappear after Soft Reset...
I'm updating my last ROM, so all features as XDA_UC will be included.
I loaded official HTC Mega Russian ROM on my Iolite this weekend, tested it and ...
... And I'm back to WM6.1 21055 =)
I didn't like WM65.
Maybe I just too old and don't want new stuff (but I upgraded my PC to Win7 64-bits and it's the best OS I know for today).
Maybe WM65 build 21854 is too close to WM6.1 21055 and I should try latest releases...
OK, I'm ready to release this ROM. Latest WM6.1 + Mega Ext packages.
It's based on my last released ROM, but it includes fresh HTC GUI.
Beside new WM6.5 start menu (stupid endless scrolling of million icons) this ROM looks almost like MEGA.
I run latest Manila 2.0.1919.1432, latest Camera software, latest EzInput, latest PhoneCanvas.
So, before uploading this I want to ask what programs I can remove, and what do you think I should include into the ROM.
As for me - I don't want HTC programs at all. I use another programs.
I removed
AdobePDF_2_5_1_0_378273_04H
FOOTCAM_1_11_33557_0
Footprints_1_0_19112229_7
FootPrintsVE_1_0_18223925_0
Java_JblendPackage_2_1_2_1_20090619_2_1
Messaging_Client_Arcsoft_5_2_2_37
MS_Facebook_1_0_07_1
NaviPanel_1_00_18212231_04
RSSHub_2_1_1_1101_RP_MEGA_02
Streaming_Media_3_1_19183421_00
VoiceRecorder_1_10_18192131_6
YouTube_1_6_18222927_00
also I removed this programs from Windows
AUTOUPDATE
Catalog
Entertainment
Office - it couldn't even search fot text...
OneNote
Transcriber
WelcomeCenter
WindowsLive
I feel fine running ROM without all this programs.
So, tell me what is important to you.
I am happy with the firmware you made last week
Anyway I agree with you on removing the above programs.
BTW, what does autoupdate do anyway, it never ever updated anything on any of my PDAs....

I decided to release first 21055 ROM with Iolite packages as them are stable and tested with our device.
At the same time I want to have "something new" and there is why I'm making this new ROM. So in case something goes wrong - we can just use first ROM.

It should be supported by OEM ROM maker. And looks like nobody wants use it.
Read more here.
new EzInput 2.1 issue found:
All custom words in XT9 My Words List disappear after Soft Reset.
Description: EzInput 2.1 adds my new words to My Words list and suggests them while I'm typing. I can use "XT9 My Words" program to edit this list.
But if I reset my device this list is empty again.
Who knows how to fix it?
Serfer,
Can you include a newer PIE in your ROM?
That's the only thing that I feel a little regret with your stable and fast ROM. And there's no way to upgrade PIE if not cooked into ROM.
For xt9 issue, maybe you can try older package of et9 and ezinput. Just remove the 'all settings' from the softkey since it does not work on wm61.
Tx n bst rgz.

You can also try to rename the settings.exe (Posted here)to htcSettingsEntry.exe and put it into Windows folder.

[OUTDATED] Documents Tab for Manila / Sense 2.5.1921xxx ?

Hi,
MY HTC HD2 (LEO) is running:
Stock ROM - hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.
Manila - 2.5.19211619.0
Radio - 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol - 15.28.50.07U
I have flashed 2 ROMs so far (PDAVIET v09, then freyberry_premium_V5.3_23518). Both have the Documents Tab which works great for me. Unfortunately, i've had to re-flash my HD2 to the stock ROM because of Chinese language, localized Opera, and other features made for the Asia region.
Would it be possible that I can install only the Documents Tab, (perhaps via a CAB file or some other method), onto my existing ROM?
While I have made every effort to search the forum and google for alternatives without any solution, I apologize if this question has been asked and answered before.
Many thanks in advance (for any solution that would make my HD2 the dream phone that it already almost is) !

2.5.1921.1619 - no documents-tab, no landscape
2.5.1921.4010 - documents-tab, no landscape

I remember when installing MTP that you had to delete HKLM/software/HTC/Manila/configuration so it can rebuild.
Also you might need to delete /Windows/ManilaFull.xml.
You may also need to edit 26948339_manila file to add new session.
the cab is not working

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!

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!
I dont know Which Setting ?
Which Setting in OS Builder ?
1. How can i upgrade wp build from 8773 to 8779 ? where should i copy update files ?
2. Where is Full Unlock Files in Nextgen 3.2 or Deepshining ? whats name ?
3. How should i full unlock Xbox games ?

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.
How can I go about making my ROM updatable?
