Guest Gary Crutcher Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Gary but you ported the os/xip or not? if not read the first line of my post ;)!!! btw thx for the reply :D I used Sorg's dskdump.exe to get a copy of my pda. I renamed it to pda.nb. I used RomTool to dump it, which also creates xip folders. I deleted stuff from SYS and OEM folders, but DID NOT touch the xip folder as I saw no reason to change anything. I clicked 'Build" then clicked RelocateV on the ExtReloc screen. Afterwards I had a new rom (85+ mb free program ram). As of today, I do not plan on changing anything in the XIP, although I would like to learn how to change the Page Pool size. But, I am in no hurry to do this until I am sure what to do. By using the default settings everything should work fine. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. you dont understood me :D, porting xip/sys doesnt mean you will only remove or add things like, delete the sample music folder, its not porting... its mod.... porting is to change the OS version. you probably is with 6.5, im trying to port to 6.5.5, so YOU NEED to port the xip.bin and sys folder with the 6.5.5 contents.... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not tried 6.5.5 as I do not like the buttons at the bottom, but I will try to build a rom using 6.5.5 just to see what happens. Please point me in the direction of a clean (uncooked) 6.5.5 rom. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest defaultBR Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 doesnt exist a 6.5.5 rom uncooked, everybody got 6.5 roms, than cook it changing xip.bin and sys folder with the 6.5.5 xip.bin and sys folder, than after that start making the modding....

Ok...are you try to cook an already cooked rom? I ask because everything I have read from the cooks says to NOT try to cook an already cooked rom (note: no explanation I could find). So, I have not tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary Crutcher Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Although I got no errors, I did notice the OEM folder was empty. Romtool put the packages in the SYS folder....interesting. I then built a new pda.nb with no errors. But...the new file was 21MB smaller than my original. Gotta go to class...will return in 2 hours.

Guest wes58 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Someone can help me in this please, i tried a lot of times, cant find the error :| argh ok, thanks for the info ;)!!! but without OEM folder, you dont have nothing, hehehe... cya =] The part of my application which is used for porting xip, combines file/modules from existing xip and the new os xip. If you are porting new OS it is not enough to do in Extreloc 'realloc imgfs', you have to reallocate xip modules as well. After you run extreloc it will build new xip_out.bin. About your empty \oem folder, I think that you are trying to dump modified rom. When you create the rom with buildos, buildos removes microsoft certificates from dsm files that's why pkgtool can't separate the modules into oem and sys folder. You can try to tick 'use my application' instead of pkgtool it may work, but you may still find some folders in sys that may be moved to oem.

Guest kibiwi Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 a technical question about .hv files I never understood even googling ;) . Are they the simply sum of all the rgu files in the rom or they have specific and further entries which we can edit if necessary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How find files related to an app?this is a try and error process you have to experiment. You can delete files directly or using the Wes kitchen which automatize the process saving in a log file what you are doing...Further you have to delete also the registry entries for every app you want to delete, open the rgu file in the oem packet and find the keys related to that software. Finally you can delete even the shortcuts created at the first boot process stored in initiaflash.dat. It's no simple but it is the core process of cooking so if you want to be a cooker you have to learn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Teflanzy Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 ok thank alot for your help but most cookers know where to find the files for the applications that they want to remove. so maybe someone can help us with that. about the rgu file do you mean that i should look for all rgu files or is there a sepicific rgu file that has the application entries? thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw there is no trick (almost I don't know it) to find all the registry, files and shortcuts related to an app in few minutes...

Guest defaultBR Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Btw there is no trick (almost I don't know it) to find all the registry, files and shortcuts related to an app in few minutes... use windows search to search into the folder for information INTO the files... if you type, podcast it will return EVERY file that have podcast writed into it or named with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest defaultBR Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) yes, but dont need to remove from the help files the reference to the podcast for example, its a way of wasting time... its "podcast = 7bytes entry", dont make any difference in the rom for me the search content work WELL, i can remove the .exe, .png images, entry settings(.rgu, .provxml), lnk, if have another file related i read in the .provxml to see, find and delete.... for me its good ^^ i think if you remove the most important(.exe,.png,.lnk, and from .rgu, .provxml, .dat) a good registry clenaer later can solve and remove every other things related ;) Edited February 11, 2010 by defaultBR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the more you delete, the more space you gain. But sometimes it is hard to find everything that is linked to a particular application. So if you delete only the main part of the application and you don't get any errors when you use your rom that's should be good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary Crutcher Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) I got an error imgfs-new.bin not found after imgfsfromdump started for like one sec. I had this happen under vista and win7 and discovered it was my anti-virus causing imgfsfromdump to abort with "Not enough memory". Maybe you can check your anti-virus (mine is bitdefender). I just turned Game Mode on and now it works ok. Edited February 11, 2010 by Gary Crutcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
