[PROJECT] Cook an Localized rom based on a WWE Rom - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hi Folks!
I'm surfing a lot on this forum, and what i need is some help by cooking a rom... based on another rom in another language..
for example.. we take the BLACKSTONE WM6.1 V09 (PV) - Build 20769.1.4.5 - pdaviet.net
You can find him at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478195
And then, we try to cook a dutch version of it. (or another language ofcourse)
My Questions are:
1: Is it possible at all?
2: Is there a tutorial for doing this?
3: if there's not. Who has some experience with rom cooking, and would like to help me?

It can be done by replacing all the language packs (_0409) and by editing or replacing config/provxml files. Best place to discuss this is the cooking class thread.

1. Yes, you can do that.
2. If you can extract the rom (don't know if the rom is secrued,). But if it's not, you open OEM & SYS and change the (_0409) packages to (_040x) German
I suggest you have downloaded the orginal German rom for this!
3. . . . .
But good luck, (you could also just ask the single cook, to make a german rom for you? )

Great! thanks for your information!
i will try this, and let know if it works for me! Is it important to have take the OEM en SYS from the same rom version as the cook? or doesnt that any effect.

just remember to use a initflashfile that is either translated to your language or use one from official rom with your language (last is always prefered)
cheers

Is it possible to da that but with different rom versions?
Like, I have a portuguese official rom version 1.14 and I want to change a wwe 1.19 official rom to portuguese. Is that possible?

Yeah, itje, i dont know realy what you mean.. but the question of jpmassena is also my question.... does it matter if i use different rom versions?

updates
Well, I managed to do *something*.
Here's what I did:
1- With the kitchen I extracted both WWE 1.19 and PTG 1.14 roms;
2- Then I replaced all the content of OEM/PACKAGE_BlackStone_YouTube_HKCSL_WWE_0409 with the content of OEM/PACKAGE_BlackStone_YouTube_0816.
3- I replaced 0816 with 0409 in the file's names.
4- Cooked the rom and flashed it to my HD.
When the process stoped I had everything in english except the Youtube App
Everything in the youtube App was portuguese (except the video categories, don't know why). Now I'm reverting to the portuguese rom to see how the videos categories shows up. Maybe They were in english because the system wqas recognized as english.
BTW, I did this that way just to see if it was possible.. I will read a bit more to do it the proper way, without trying to "fool" the os with filenames...

Hmmm F****

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481388

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?

If you have your .cab with your default language (it is before the dopod update in the extended_rom) maybe i can help you.
I did upgrade from my german ROM to the dopod one already but i want to have the GPS in a german Rom. is that possible?

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)>.........
Hi friends,
This is an interesting tread....
I've found this link in PocketPT (portuguese forum) and it looks good!

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

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 :-(

Who can make a DUTCH ROM for me??? PLEASE!!!!

Hello,
I'm trying to build a dutch ROM. The only thing that I know is that I can add/remove packages. But all the other thing like the SYS and rgu files and all the other files that have to be changed are to difficult for me.
So is there someone that want to make a ROM for me? Based on the new Blackstone NLD 1.56 ROM and the Topaz NLD 1.39 ROM.
The only thing that I want to be changed is that I want the Blackstone ROM with the Manila and keyboard from Topaz. And that everything works.
Blackstone ROM: http://rapidshare.com/files/2189268...6.404.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe
Topaz ROM: http://rapidshare.com/files/2297678...Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship.exe
I can pay for the ROM i've you like!
THX a LOT!!!!!!
it would be great a dutch rom....
Sure I will, if you give me a thousand euros.
Why not use a wwe that's already out there (like dutty's 3.3) and change the language used in Manila?

I want to extract some things from a french rom.
I have a german phone and an english rom now with success installed (thanks QMAT).
I have many registry values modified (keyboard, regional settings, ...) and have now a french windows mobile but the included software not.
I have a french unbranded TP2. I will try to dump the rom as soon as possible this week end. Tell me if you find what you want before I start .
Here is the first part Part00.raw, Part01.raw and Part02.raw : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SGNC4056

Translating WM6.5 system language

Been reading up on how to translate WM-ROMs by use of MUI files. Working on making a swedish version of WM6.5. Maybe someone here can answer a few questionsmarks for me.
- Can MUI files be replaced pro-flash or do they have to be cooked in pre-flash?
- Is there language-specific content located anywhere but the MUI files?
it is not possible to change language after flash
you have to cook the new language into the recipe
My suggestion would be: use ervius VK
1- dump a swedish ROM
2- use the swedish OEM and EXT folders
3- use the swedish ROM/Kovsky/"build no."/ folder (OEMXIPKernel), just change the old build numbers to the new build ones
4- use the new ROM/Shared/"new build no."/ folder (MSXIPKernel)
4- use the new build SYS folder, but replace all 0409 folders with swedish ones from the same SYS build or similar build (eg. you can add 23022 swedish files into a 23028 build)
5- cook
May I suggest reading my thread....
Because yesterday I uploaded a Swedish wm6.5 visualkitchen based on 23028....
