ROM cooking and special language? - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hiya ppl
Ive recently startet to like WM when i got this really sweet phone
So ofc I would play around with rom cooking - however i dont seem to be able to find out if a wanted to make it a danish rom - should i then build my own rom from the dump ive made or could i take the one that is linked to in the Wiki and then port in the language files from my own dump? Are there even specific language files ^^
The reason i ask is that it seems like my operator (Three) has made some kind of branding to the software (Only light it seems tough) and i mostly wanted to start from a total generic version
I really hope that my questions makes any sense...
So looking forward to any help - and yea i have made quite a few searches on google and this site but i dont seem to get a clear answer...

You can take the official HTC rom. Just open the executable file with 7-Zip (or something similiar) and take "ruu_signed" as base for further development.

Uhm Im not really sure that I understand the solution? When you say official HTC rom you mean the one i can download from the wiki or the dump from my phone (That is Three banded)? Cause if i just download the one from the wiki i dont suppose it comes with danish as the language and if i use the dump i dont know if Three has made any change/branding whatever?
//M

By official I mean a rom released by HTC, not by the operator, so its a non-branded rom. I think it should be this.

GPS ROM Upgd. WithOUT language change??

I downloaded a few days ago a GPS enabled Radio ROM. I suppose it should be able to upgrade to GPS ROM just by changing the RADIO ROM.
Could it be done with the OFFICIAL Dopod ROM now available?
Would it work just by removing the non-RADIO files from the temp directory?
My goal is to KEEP my Trinity language unchanged, just enable the GPS functionality.
Any help is appreciated.
C'mon guys! No one there to answer....?
Yeah, have kind of like the same question... I've seen many update threads, but this is a very populare topic, so the threads are a bit hard to go through if you havn't followed them from day one...
so, question is as follows:
How to upgrade a Trinity and enabling the GPS without loosing your existing OS/language... A step by step guide for dummies like me would be _very_ helpfull, or just point me to the thread with the solution, that would also do the trick
@neofix: That is exactly what I am looking for, too. I would like to have the official dopod ROM update with all the features like GPS and so on but I would like to have my own language on the phone. It is currently really difficult to keep track with all the posts regarding the gps ROM. I am lost, please somebody help me out of this.
Any chances? Anybody?

I say up i nead the cabs in the extended_rom before the update.
To do something.
If you whant you can download the german rom and flash it in your trinity and after speak to me to tell you what.....
After will take the interesting think you can flash again the gps dopod rom.
EDIT: IF THE ROM IS BY DEFAULT GERMAN I CANT DO ANYTHING. BUT IF IS IN ENG AND AFTER THE FLASH ADD THE LANGUAGE MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU.
flashed it just now and found the following files in the EXTROM pp_defaultpage_wwe.cab, pp_extversion.cab, MP_CVSDcpl_20060920.cab and a textfile named config.
It did not ask me to change my language or anything like that

So your lang is default with out any cab install after the flash.
You can't do anything.
Nonono there must be a way. There must be any kind of file or data which tells the device to write "Kontakte" instead of "Contacts". Maybe we have to change it manually.
Does anybody know something about such a file, such data on the phone?

Look the translate is mui's files in the windows folder.
The mui file has the translated word's of the original dll's or exe's.
If your original dll's or exe's in the windows folder is german,
how you can take it out and after the dopod update add buck in the windows folder??.
You can't cause rom permision's.
If you whant you can find another away maybe a program to translate the win ce to your language.
search for that.

I have the cabs in my ext-rom, since I did not update yet.
May I pm them to you?
Or I would post them in the ftp, should it work.
Let me know.
Regards.
A better solution could be to let the original ROM installed and flash only the Radio ROM from the GPS enabled DOPOD ROM.
I do not know if this will work and if the original ROM "know" how to communicate with the GPS radio version - perhaps POF can give us the answer.
If there is no risk to flash the differnet radio ROM i will try it soon.
To get the radio ROM (Info from POF):
Use NBHExtract to extract GSM.nb from full rom, then use NBHgen to make NBH with radio only. Flash using SSPL-Trin.

Hi, flashing only the radio rom is not sufficient for the gps to work , we also need the driver in OS.nb
but from what i've read, for the moment it's not possible to edit the OS

It is look so simple to tell me the name's of the cab's included in your extended_rom.
After chek the name's of your's cab's and see if a language cab is there,i ask you to send me the cab and i will do my trick.
So the simple think is to tell me the name's of your cab's.
???????is any language cab to extract the .mui files in \windows folder???????
That is what i whant to know.
<i dont think to say anywhere (i do something magic with the name's only)>.........

I dont know how does it work, but lets investigate and try to make the same to our

IMHO this is exactly THE OPPOSITE to what we a are looking for....
It says explicitly that NO ENGLISH ROMS are supported.... so no GPS ROM is supported either.
It might well be a way to investigate, but is not a solution now :-(

Hermes wm6 question

Guess its a silly question, but I can use the hermes/tytn os and flash it to my p4350? I guess I have to answer my own question and say yes?
I want the norwegian base language on my phone
I have experience in flashing, so thats no problem, just wanna know if theres anything I should know that I might not know
Of course you cannot flash the Hermes OS to your Herald The Hermes has other drivers, and your phone simply will not allow it lol
dunno what i was thinking, I KNOW that....sorry 4 posting stupid question.
Guess Im just a bit to unpatient waiting for the official

We all are! Especially the people who bricked there ones and do not have the RUU in their language!
Does anyone have a norwegian RUU for Herald ?
I'm guessing that i'll have to install this before i upgrade to WM60 since there is a problem with lower versions of radiorom ?

No one found any other ROM's then posted in the WIKI (or just did not post them), I suggest you use IMEi-Check to CID-unlock and then flash etc..
Ok.
I'm fairly new to flashing etc. so i guess i have to give it a try.
I downloaded aWizards tools for flashing. Can i CID unlock my device here ? I can upgrade radio rom and OS from here. Then install PDAVIETS wm60 rom..
Reidar
Actually, I got hold of a original norwegian RUU for the Herald.
Where? Other people is looking for other languages (italian...)
Got it from a norwegian distributer, brightpoint. They had it on their support pages..
I saw...no italian.....sigh....

Hey all - has anyone got the Norwegian RUU for kaiser?

I was wondering if anyone got their hands on a norwegian RUU for kaiser?
anyone? lol
Rrr .. I think not everybody understood what does "RUU" stands for
Because this is international forum. For sure, there are a lot of members from .NO but ...
well, the RUU, is the official "installation" for wm6 from htc
look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331900
That is what I need, just norwegian
Or if anyone has a nbh, or a os.nb (norwegian ofcourse)
Actualy, RUU stands for ROM Update Utility...
I guess what you are looking for is either a norwegian ROM or a custom RUU wrapper you can use to install custom ROMs...
Ihaven't seen them around yet and I'm pretty sure they're not yet available...

yes, I tried to put it simplified
But no, im after the sys folder of the norwegian kaiser rom, so I can rebase it to Herald.
I have done so with the wwe, and its a good and stable build, and I would love to make one in my native language too
But if anyone have a norwegian kaiser, I could go for the dump from the phone too
btw, Im gonna get a kaiser in next month or so, so I will join the effort in searching for a way to make custom roms for kaisers.

[Newbie] Restoring Rom

I have the Swedish version of Touch HD and I installed a custom Rom.
So my question is can I restore my original ROM meaning making my phone the way I bought it? o yeah my ROM was "1.14.413.0 (24011)SVE"
Thanks in advance
Hi,
a little manual:
load the kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438456
unzip in a empty folder (Pass: you'll find in the text file contained)
open your swedish stock rom and copy ruu_signed.nbh to BaseRom folder on kitchen
open BlackStoneKitchen.CMD and choose e (e = extract Rom)
wait a few minutes it takes something now
when it is finished, you will find the folder OEM ROM and SYS
make your changes and start again BlackStoneKitchen.CMD
choose c, f, or cf = cook, flash or cook and flash
wfg
starbase64
hmm sounds good exept that that I dont have a swedish ROM :/
Any idea where I can get1?
and btw can I use HardSPL to install an offical ROM?
If you could wait at least until tomorrow I might find time to dump my original swedish rom. I haven't had the time to "upgrade" to WWE yet

would be great, I'll be waiting.
I've got limited time for playing around with this today and since I'm unable to find a RUU_Signed.nbh at the moment, all original rom mirrors seem down I'm unable to create a rom at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere here, rom-cooking is completely new territory for me.
At least I've dumped the rom following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
I have Part00.raw and Part03.raw but as far as I've understood those are not needed and thus I'm not adding them to the upload. I could send these on request if anyone explains what they're for. I don't wanna upload Part03 if it's an image of my installation...
I realized I didn't specify so in the file name but obviously this is a dump of Blackstone Swedish shipping rom.
Was planning to host on rapidshare but it doesn't like me so here's an ftp-share: ftp://guest:[email protected]:21
Hosted there until 2009-01-01
i think you dont need to to through any steps. I restored my rom just simply open up the stock rom and start install it. i have installed HSPL.
Well, the problem is that he didn't have a stock rom. And so far nobody's posted any swedish rom's as far as I can tell.
Anyway, rapdishare finally managed to complete my upload, choose which one you prefer - if you're based in sweden you're likely to download faster from my ftp.

Help me please I really have no idea what to do now.
I read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507

After a few hrs I finally managed to install it.

do you mind sharing hoe you did git an original Swedish ROM. i searched over all with no luck . i got also a Swedish ROM and i want to flash it with an english one (not used to Swedish on machines ) . And also i don't want to lose my guaranty. i did read the thread " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507 " but it is not easy to follow . and specially when it says that you need an BaseROM , can we use the WWE to reconstruct a Swedish one .
thanx in advance

should i flash my Sony Ericsson Xperia

Greetings!
There may be similar question, but please accept my apology as I am new member of this forum.
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia mobile phone(PDA) where by its operating system is in Germany (Dutch). Should i flash it or is there any means to change the language to English?
Thank You
Andu
Welcome to the forum!!! It all depends of you if yiu want to flash it...in my opinion i think you should... a quick start guide you should find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
and a nice operating sistem (ROM) you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493848 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503732

Germany (Dutch)???!??!! (thought it was Netherlands (Dutch) and Germany (German))
Most custom cooked ROMs are in WWE (World Wide English), so if you flash them you'll get the English language on your phone. There isn't a setting where you can change the language from German to English for example. But you can also download and flash an official English ROM for X1 (find latest in sticky by PavelX1).
If you want a cooked ROM in Dutch or German or any other language you'll have to search cause there aren't many floating around.
REMEMBER READ THE STICKIES BEFORE STARTING TO FLASH / HARDSPL!!!

definetly u should try... otherwise wheter u ain't happy enough... come back to stock ROM
Don't be shy, c'mon !!
Flash a STOCK (Sony official) WWEnglish ROM or a cooked one
Your choice
We are all here to help each other
Have fun !!
Yes, just take a look around here and read a bit and choose your favorite rom and flash it!!!!
Well, it much depends on you: are you ok with you stock, standard phone? do ypu use your X1 just to make/receive calls?
If yes, so probably you are ok with the stock ROM (however... why do you bought a PDA to only receive calls?!)
Otherwise yes, you definitely should try as many ROMs as you can. It is like a suit: you can buy the stock, standard one or get one that really fit you perfectly (that is, a cooked ROM!).
flash...flash....flash
1 flash.......and you want nothing else!

should make that you want even more heh
i could not wait for the next version of the rom im currently using; and have yet to be disappointed. unlike the stock rom, which was utterly laggy.
with custom roms, they a lot more optimized but with a very small sacrifice of losing some features which can be negliged or replaced depending on the rom your flashing.
just be careful and follow each step precisely and you wont hit any brick walls.
read the instructions a couple of time before you attempt to flash it. make sure you hard-spl first :d
if you decide to flash it, which i definitely suggest, then be aware of some incompatibility issue between some roms and certain cabs (due to existing file or clashing of those installed files).
installing such prog can slow down the performance overall; but of course, these cabs/progs can easily be uninstalled
please do ask us questions if you need help and advise :d
DO IT !
I was just like you today....I was not sure if I should flash my Windows Mobile 6.1 to a custom 6.5 Rom with TouchFLO 3D. (manila)
I just said to my self...DO IT NOW !
so I did...
Turns out the phone is sooo much faster and better to use ! its so worth it man,

No, you would want more and moree It's an addiction - but don't worry - that's happiness with no side effects
u should try it dude yeah.. whats the point of getting an X1 right? Xplore it!!!
Is there a problem with the keyboard if you flash from for example a Swedish ROM to a WWE. Will I still be able to use the Swedish letters or is there a fix I need to apply? I want to try a ROM with WM 6.5.......

Very true
On another note, for the OP:
German = Deutsch.
Dutch = Nederlands
The languages seem kind of similar, but one telling detail about Dutch is that it looks like they just randomly double every other vowel in a word.
