[Resources]Raphael goes Wiki & Useful links thread - Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development

HTC Raphael Wiki Pages
The xda-developes wiki system is a (shamefully) under-used resource, lets change that shall we? The information is available to ALL users and naturally being a wiki everyone can contribute to it, details about ROMs and download links etc can be added when they appear and it is easy to use.
ALL new members need to take a read through it BEFORE asking questions since if it is a common topic you WILL find it in the wiki.
Common useful pages in the wiki include:
HTC Raphael for Beginners
Raphael Tips & Tweaks
HTC Raphael Specifications
Model and CID FAQ
Available Shipped WM6.1 ROMs
Available Cooked WM6.1 ROMs
Available Cooked WM6.5 ROMs
Available Extracted Radio Stacks
Software utilizing the sensors in the Raphael
HTC Raphael Cooking Resources (CustomRUU, Kitchens etc..)
List Updated by win32ce Thanks for that
Rather than have an endless number of sticky threads containing the same information as in the wiki we actively encourage ALL members to use the wiki to its full potential, lets make an example of this forum and show the community in its best light.
Dont be scared of adding/editting information, its there for everyone so if something usefull is not in the wiki....add it!
Note:: we will be monitoring ALL changes so dont abuse the system. If there is a popular page which you think deserves a quick shortcut to in this sticky thread, PM a moderator to have it added. Enjoy people.
* Not yet in the wiki, perhaps somebody should add it?

Useful links thread

Olipro said:
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).

It could be worked, just install it! If not, you can delete it. Or you can try the new pro Comm Mgr (see the 2 pics)

Ameo with T-Mobile WM6, 2.35 ROM and 1.50 radio
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!!!
Thank you so much for your support. Please note that the web http://www.megaupload.com/ is blocked in Saudi Arabia. Can you upload those files to different server that allow useres to download from.
Thanks.

Now anybody can call me pedantic,but:
The link to the Athena unlocker above via Megaupload leads to a file that is-after extraction-13.653 KB big.
The link in Olipros 'How to never brick your Ameo..' and Wiki-where i can download directly-lead to a file that is 14.892 KB big.
Both are just called 'AthenaUnlocker.exe'
After lots of reading in the forums,i assume the second/bigger file is the one to go...but i could sleep better if anybody could confirm that...

Hi I've put a new thing to the wiki cooked roms for Niki. It would be nice if we get an overview there of all cooked roms for Niki and Neon so we can quickly see the available Roms for there device and also the latest version. Please help me out by putting some more links in the wiki topic. If someone knows how to make a better layout please be my guest. Everyone can add and change things to the wiki.

You should download ROM Kitchens, then you have everything for cooking new roms.
Just do a search in forum .

This thread is redundant, there are several answers provided already, but if you want to ask questions about cooking then post them in the threads already created for the kitchens.

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. =)

[Rom Format] Devs please read

Below is a format that is a guideline to be used as an example of how a rom thread should look. It doesn't have to be exact. I suggest that you stay creative and use all the features in the advanced panel when creating a thread.
Name of rom, team, etc
Introduction
Changelog in code or list tags
What's included in the rom in the (apps, tweaks, scripts, addons, mods) in code or list tags
What works/what doesn't work in code or php tags
Credits (Users name-with link to (profile/github/or thread u got tweak from embedded), and what they did to help you)
Screenshots (2-10 different screenshots of different aspects of rom)
Kernel with either link to thread you got it from or github (if stock sense or cm please state that and that is enough)
Instructions on how to install the rom (also if special instruction for a2sd or beats audio...etc)
Do's and Don'ts of the rom
Questions & Answers section (I find this helpful to write out asked questions with solutions at the bottom of the op. I find that it cuts down on the question being asked a million times)
Finally the dl link
Additional add-ons (this can go into first post or reserved posts after)
I find the embedded link looks and feels better throughout the op if possible.
All sections should have a header with enlarged text and spaced out so people can read it easily.
I am hoping that this helps to make this section a little cleaner and easier. enjoy
The way I look at this is that it takes you weeks/days/hours to make these roms....we can take the time out to make sure that the op looks professional and clean
Not to toot my own horn but here is a link to one of my own rom threads as an example. Link
Also Make sure the op is fully ready before posting. I know we all get excited to release a rom but stating that half the stuff will be updated as time permits just shows that you are lazy and in a hurry which doesn't look good cause if thats the case then how does your rom run....
No posting a a rom thread without a DL link either. If posted then the thread will be removed
This has been created to let those who do not know what is allowed in development.
Things you CAN create a new thread for in Development
1. Roms (You created it or Ported it with permission)
2. Kernels (You compiled it and is GPL compliant)
3. System Dumps (Only one thread per new system dump) (First one wins the rest will be deleted)
4. S-Off Tool Kits (You created it)
5. Scripts (You created it)
6. If YOU created it you may post it
CREDITS
Credits must be given in your threads for whatever help you have received when creating something. If you port something then give credits and links to the where you ported it from. This goes for mods that you port as well. Permission must be given if you port a rom from another section. This is to prevent the originator from getting upset and there being a flame war between developers. We are all here for fun and as a hobby so lets all be friendly and do the right thing.
Things you may NOT create a new thread in Development for
1. Questions
2. Question
3. Roms YOU DID NOT create or port
4. Kernel YOU DID NOT create
5. S-Off Tool Kit YOU DID NOT create
6. Scripts YOU DID NOT create
7. Themes
8. Apps
9. IF YOU DID NOT CREATE IT OR PORT IT THEN DO NOT MAKE A THREAD FOR IT
Threads that are created that fall into the DO NOT CREATE list will be either deleted or moved. If you continually create new threads in the Development section that fall into the DO NOT CREATE you will start receiving Infractions or a Ban
[SIZE="5"[COLOR="Blue"]]PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL[/COLOR][/SIZE] and know where the sections are.
GENERAL - is for general chat about your note II
QUESTION & ANSWERS - This is for getting Questions and Answers
DEVELOPMENT - For something you CREATED
THEMES & APPS - For themes and apps that you have created, found or ported
