Easy to create your lite rom like me...

[Guest twu2]

2010/09/24:

new version:

1. fix the registry process in v4. (sorry, the code not always work... and there's a test code there... only process one .rgu file in v4)

i8000lite_v4.1_JH2.zip

2010/09/17:

If you want to change the kernel for the rom, you can following the procedure here (Using I8000NXXJH2 and 23133 CHT XIP/SYS):

1. dump I8000NXXJH2 rom using wes58's romtool.

2. create SYS_23133 folder, and extract 23133 kernel, move files from 23133_COMMON, 23133_COMMON_0404, 23133_WVGA_COMMON, 23133_WVGA_0404 (i8000 is a WVGA device, and CHT is 0404) to SYS_23133 (there might have sub folder under above folder, make sure the SYS_23133 structure like SYS folder), like :

3. create XIPtools\XIP_23133 folder, move files from 23133_XIP like this:

4. delete OEM\OEM_Lang_0409 folder, and copy OEM\OEM_Lang_0404 from I8000HZHJC2), like:

5. delete SYS_23133\SIM_TKit (this exist in OEM\OEMDrivers folder)

6. in wes58's romtool, choose SYS to use SYS_23133, then choose Port XIP/Delete Modules and Adjust Size of XIP, like this:

7. Click Run, then you should get a rom with new language and new kernel.

Sometimes, there might have duplicate files in OEM\OEMApps and OEM\OEM_Lang_xxxx (Samsung put the file to different folder for different language), you need to delete one of them, to avoid the error in BuildOS.

If you need the lite version for this rom, you need some extra steps between step 5 and step 6, like this:

5.1 extract i8000lite_v2_JH2_CHT.zip, there's i8000lite.php and LITE folder like this:

5.2 move LITE\zzzzzMyMods to OEM folder (you may need to change the setting in .rgu for different language), like this:

5.3 edit LITE\lang.txt, change to 0409 and 0404 (the mix language you choose).

5.4 execute the commnad:

php -Cq i8000lite.php kernel=23133

then go back to step 6 to build the rom, you should get the lite rom.

====================================

2010/09/16 update:

new version.

1. support different kernel, you can assign kernel=xxxxx when execute the script, it will process SYS_xxxxx

2. you can add more language in LITE\lang.txt if you mix different language rom files.

3. fixed some issue when processing chinese registry file.

4. loading deleted files from LITE\OEM\*.txt also, so you can just leave LITE\deleted_files.txt for such files not exists in any OEM packages only.

====================================

# new version here: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?sho...t&p=1243716

It's very easy, just following this documentation step by step:

0. get php win32 binary from here: http://windows.php.net/download/ and install it to c:\php\

1. get sorg's dskdump.exe from here: http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-verizo...60/dskdump-2-0/

2. flash the official rom and choose the language you need, then use dskdump.exe to dump the rom to rom_dump.bin

3. get wes58's romtool from here: http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-omnia-...ld-application/

4. copy _Template folder to I8000NXXJD1, and follow wes58's documentation, copy and change the file we need for LZX compression.

5. put rom_dump.bin to I8000NXXJD1 folder, like this:

6. execute romtool.exe, choose 'Dump PDA (.nb0, .nb, .bin file)', and click the 'Select File' button to choose the rom_dump.bin, then check the option like this:

then click 'Run' button, wait for a few minutes, you will get a result like this:

7. then choose 'Setting', click 'Start ExtReloc' button like:

8. change to 'Optoins' tab in ExtReloc, then change the option and like this:

then click 'Save Options', then exit ExtReloc program.

9. extract files (include folder) from i8000lite.zip, you should get the environment like:

10. open a command prompt, change to the I8000NXXJD1 folder, make sure the php command work fine for 'c:\php\php.exe -v', then execute 'c:\php\php.exe -Cq i8000lite.php' like this:

the result will like this:

the script will move files we don't want to deleted folder like:

11. you can do some fine tune here, to delete some other files, change some registry, add some program.... (change the setting in zzzzMyMods folder, it's for English, some might change in different langaue)

12. return to romtool.exe, choose 'Build PDA (.nb0 file) tab, and Click the '...' button after 'Work Folder' to choose the our work folder (I8000NXXJD1, yes you need to choose it again, even it's already this folder), change the PDA version to what you like, and click the option like this (also change the pagepool size to what you want):

13. click 'Run', it will pop-up BuildOS like this:

14. click the green execute button, and wait for a few minutes, it should like this:

15. before you close BuildOS, here is the final stage if you still need to modify some files or some setting, just do it in 'temp\dump' folder....

16. close BuildOS program, it will pop-up ExtReloc like this:

17. then just wait... maybe 5-10 minutes depend on you computer speed... you should get the result like this:

18. then check the 'Finished ROM' folder, you should get the lite ROM here:

19. flash it and test it...

for cabs... there's no easy way or script to do it, you need to use 'WinCE Cab Manager' to create it or modify the one I created.

here is the file include the script, setting, and zzzzzMyMods OEM.

i8000lite_eng.zip

PS. please delete the following line in deleted_files.txt, if you remove this, and forget to put a new file (4 row menu) for this, you can't see the start menu after flash the rom:

StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr

StartMenu_GridScene_800x480.cpr

I personally thank you very much. ;)

[Guest kydkylin]

Thx twu2!!!!

[Guest twu2]

even someone don't like lite rom... I still suggest he to build his rom use wes58's romtool again.

Just choose LZX compression, in a full rom, it still can get 20%-30% space for device.

[Guest Ceco]

Thank you for sharing twu2 ;)

[Guest Gary Crutcher]

Nice description twu2!

Thanks for doing this for the community.

I'm sure it will help a lot of people to understand what cooks go through when they cook roms.

twue,

could you pls attach the explanation pics in a zip file? as i can not see them well. also rename each pic by the step number which is relating to it. ;)

thanks in advance

[Guest twu2]

here is the new version for my i8000lite.php script. it can move the deleted files to OEM folder as a OEM package now, so you can choose any package you need to build the rom.

i8000lite_v2_eng.zip

I change the folder structure in this file, the OEM\zzzzzMyMods will be deleted when you dump the rom_dump.bin file, so I move it to under LITE folder, and you need to copy it to OEM folder, so the setting and files will apply to your rom.

same procedure as before, the only different is:

yes, you can select any package in BuildOS now.

The template (under LITE\OEM\ folder) is based on JD1 version, it should work for other version too.

This script will try to move some .mui also, so it might have some extra .mui files in the OEM\zzzOEM_xxxxxx folder, you can clean it as your need.

I saw someone complain this for other rom... does it also miss in a official rom? (I forget it... and in my lite rom, it's removed...)

I check the .provxml file, it include in mxipcold_zzzOEM_001.provxml (also a lots of shortcut setting in this file):

	<characteristic type="%CE11%\FM Radio.lnk" translation="install">

	  <characteristic type="Shortcut" >

		<parm name="Source" value="\Windows\fmradio.lnk" translation="install"/>

		<parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="H" />

	  </characteristic>

	</characteristic>

you can try to add this to the provxml in zzzzzMyMods also.

[Guest InvalidCast]

i don't have the time to test it before a few weeks, but it's exactly what i was waiting for to give a try to rom creation: an easy, well explain and flexible way to create roms

a very big thanks!

Thx for your fast reply!!!

I'll try it in the next rom.

Anyway,it's not even a problem at all.Creating the shotcuts and sending them to start menu is so easy with Resco Explorer!

Millions of thx to you!!! ;)

can we dump the rom to Internal Storage (my storage), instead of SD Card ? ;)

[Guest twu2]

yes, there's a mod version of dskdump.exe can do this.

Well,I haven't tried this.Only thought it's just a modified version for Italian WM, making the Italian storage card's name 'scheda memoria' be available.
