WM 6.5 kernel - Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development

Dear Pals,
Can anyone send me a link for wm 6.5 kernel, i want to build clean new rom for viva, on the latest core.
thx

I think you'r a newbie in rom cooking
If you want to developp a clean rom with the wm6.5 kernel, you need to download PlateformBuilder ( and not PlaterformRebuilder) and obtains the microsoft wm6.5 SDK with the kernel, and you need to have the htc viva BSP !
So, if you'are a goood and very good hacker, you can hack the htc engineer servers and still the Htc VIVA BSP in order to developp a new clean rom :=)
Good Luck

so man its not possilbe to have pure kernel of wm 6.5! then i should start on one of these in the forum. thx man

Nobody on this forum have already develop a rom with the " standart method", because even if oy have the kernel source, you need to program and compile it for the device specifications, and for this, you need the BSP.
The kernel is the NK file....
You can cook a rom, yes, but no develop it !

Aha, I dont need the source code, i want the system files man..

Ok!
I think you don't understand.
All the cooked rom have the Windows CE Kernel.
The NK.exe is located in the XIP.
But NK.exe is device specifique.
So, if you take a wm6.5 kernel ( the file nk.exe) builded for an XXXXX phone, you couldn't use it for another phone !
Understand ?

Kind help
Pls advise after extracting the rom, preparing the cabs i wanna add to the rom, someone pls guide me with the steps and tools.
thx..

dump a rom and reconstruct it

hy all. i have a problem (wish): i want to install a clean rom ( i have it allready) and i want to customize it with the programs that i want to, and then, to save this rom (i supose that i have to dump it and reconstruct it) exactly with my settings/applications/etc. can i do that? if I can, how? thx alll.
When you customize your polaris on the device itself, it doesn't change the ROM on it. So dumping it will not give you a new ROM. You'll have to change the ROM on the desktop, and upload it afterwards. There are a lot of topics about ROM building.
ok. thx. i will go then to that topics. thx.
Yes but the problem is that all those posts are about porting a 6.1 rom from another device to polaris.
Now that we have a 6.1 rom how exactly do we cook it and flash it back?
Here's my problem: I have the PTG 6.1 rom, but I want to replace the CF2 with CF3.5 and replace TTN6 with TTN7, and flash it back.
I already have Kitchen 1.3, extracted the 'RUU_signed.nbh' and a dump of 03_OS.nb.payload.
Now, where do I go from here?. I want a rom that's exactly the same as the official one but with the changes I mentioned above.
I'm a complete noob at this cooking rom issue. I've read lots of threads but I've only gotten more confused about all the XIPs, SYSs, OEMs and stuff, and I think the same happens with other users.
I know that some of the actual cookers were once in the same place I'm now, so can someone point me out the rigth way and if possible post a detailed tutorial on how to extract, cook and flash back a rom on POLARIS, me and lots of users would apreciate it a LOT.
Second That Thought.
What would be nice to see (if possible) the following,
as an example:
1. Download Polaris ROM Kitchen v1.3
2. Extract to c:\Kitchen
3. Copy your ROM image (*.nbh) to X:\
4. Run command
...20. Install Package (M2D.cab) by doing the following ...
21. Recombine the ROM by doing the follow commands ...
22. Flash your ROM to your Polaris
23. Hard Reset and verify that the package you installed is in your ROM
Congrats
A step by step like that, which walks a user though the process of a demo ROM and a demo *.cab for learning would be FANTASTIC!!!
Thanks in advance to whoever can help us out!
Juxtyce
bump.
Any help from the professionals out there?
Look here:
1. .Net2.0 => .net3.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2685138&postcount=22
2. replace the ttn.cab file in the folder "\kitchen.work\Build\OEM\OEMAPPS" with the TomTom7 cab. If it don't have the same name, rename the new cab or edit the file 'config_AP.txt' in the same folder
hope it will help you I managed it this way.
P.S. I didn't change the XIP as mentioned in the given thread. See following posts
I will dump the wm6.1 rom for you guys, and provide you with a kitchen with some packages you can use.
I will do so for all available languages that is available with official wm6.1
But,that is gonna be quite time consuming, and I hope that you understand that I ask this in return:
Any small donation for the time I use on that will be of help.
I dont say that its required, not at all. I am not doing this for money.
But the number of hours I spend on this is getting pretty high.
I will do this project either you donate or not.
cheers
thank you a lot itje. can you make in romanian also?
dunno if it's the good topic to post but let's try.
I see many fantastic people cooking excellent roms (i wish i could do the same...), and, in those roms, a lot of softwares.
Isn't it possible to just have a rom with the bare minimum?
and seperate cabs to install what you want?
for example, manilla 2d is cool, but many people like spb mobile shell better, so it's wasted memory.
May be i'm just wrong, don't understanding how it all works, so plz explain to me !

There is a large choice of ROM's, some loaded with extra's, some very minimally equiped. There are so many that your favorite must be out there already. Just search for it.

Rose Project

Hello!I`m a user of HTC S740 (ROSE) and i want to coock a new ROM for this device but need some help because I`m new in such stuff.So far I managed to extract the XIP and SYS from emulator image for WM6.5 provided by Microsoft,what I need now it`s to disassemble the ROM image of Excalibur ROM coocked by ookba and extract the additional tweaks and software that he used in his ROM but the problem is that I do know how..
After this I want to coock a new ROM using the SDK of the WM6.5.3 and add the extracted tweaks and software to the image but another problem is that ROSE uses bought portrait and landscape and the image is only portrait?How to add also the landscape to the image?So if its somewhere there that knows and could help me do this..I would quite appreciate this
None of you wants to help me?I hope i didn`t ask to much
I´m sure your project will have more audience if you place it here
Good luck,
Thanx man!So then if the Moderator could move the thread ther.. If not I will still wait for some answers

Probably not the right place for this.

Searching nk.exe for wm6.5(.x)

Hi all,
i have just bought on ebay an Opal as spare-spare device (and to play with...since i like cooking )
I have cooked for Raphael, Rhodium and Kaiser...and all of them have a native 6.5 nk.exe.
I want to ask if someone wants to share the nk.exe they use with their wm6.5(.x) roms, since i never edited one.
My experiments will lead to a rom that i will publish here on Xda.
I want to hear also suggestions...since i am starting from 0 with this device (i had an Elf 3 years ago...but i remember few things about OMAP processors), i don't know if packages from latest Mega rom will be ok or slow down the device (on Kaiser they work very well...but processor has a double speed).
I want to say an anticipated "thank you" to who will help me
Hi Monfro! it's nice to know that someone new is interested in this device. I too have tried many times to find the 6.5 kernel for opal, but unfortunately it seems that nobody has ever created. I still cook my rom with kernel 6.1 and with oskitchen, but I have many problems... I unfortunately do not have the skills to change the 6.1 kernel... I know that ervius kitchen has a way to modify the kernels, but I don't know how it works...

Thank you for your quick reply.
I will try too to use nk.exe extracted from wm6.1 rom.
From what i can see your roms looks very good...and from what i read they are among the best for this device.
In a few days i will have the Opal in my hands and i will start to play
I myself find more funny to play with older devices like Kaiser and Opal than newer...because with new WM builds and new packages from other devices they get a 2nd new life.
I will try to look also in the Ervius kitchen the nk.exe patcher...but oskitchen is really more friendly

Thank you.
I already found that thread...and tryed to download the package today...but 4shared was down and i didn't succeed.
I hoped to find a nk.exe modified for wm6.5
I will try in the next days.
I already used Ervius Kitchen, but never tryed the hybrid option with nk.exe from 6.1 and the 6.5 sys.
Domani torno in Italia per 3 settimane...lavorerò da casa col mio pc...penso di riuscire a giocare un pò costruendo rom per l'Opal

POLARIS WM 6.5 Native Kernel

Hello guys, i have read in all forum, and i didn't understand if there is a native kernel for polaris. I have just cook a rom with 6.5 native kernel?!?!?(taken from same kitchen in xda for polaris) but i have a memory trouble. In Start\System\Memory, i have the totally memory program set to 100.75, but memory archive is set to 150.35 mb and i think that it's no possible. I have cook with la last ervius kitchen and i have taken the information from this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669535&page=1, and i cook for 6.5 native kernel...i think...can you give me oemxipkernel native for polaris if esist??
Your post is really confusing.
1. Do you have a 6.5 native kernel or not? In one sentence you say you don't and are looking for one, and in another, you say that you cooked a rom with a 6.5 native kernel.
2. I don't follow you at all when you say that you've got the memory set to 100 MB in one place and 150 MB in another. Maybe someone else understands.
I don't know if there's a 6.5 kernel for the Polaris. I would doubt that there is, given that it's an older device. If you don't have one, then make sure you set the kitchen to cook for a 6.1 kernel. There is a thread with all of the 6.5 kernels. Just search for it.

hi pinuzzzooo,
for starters, there is a kernel for wm6.5...cant point to you where but its around in polaris thread, look for it please...
second you must be talking about ram and flash mem...
ram = memory program...since its 100.75 you are using a patched kernel...so no 3D drivers will work...
memory archive = flash mem, aka phone mem...if you have it at 150.35...my guess is you have xpr compression plus have nothing cooked in or just the min possible...
the only way for you to check if its a wm6.5 kernel is cooking all modules "as is"...if rom boots its native wm6.5 kernel...else...its just wm6.1 or lower...and will get stuck somewhere...
hope now you understand those differences...
cheers
@Farmer Ted
excuse me, but my english is very bad...however i asked if there is a real native 6.5 kernel for my polaris, because i have found "a native 6.5 kernel for polaris", but i haven't the knowledge for understand if it is real or it is only a fake, so i asked there after that i have trying to cook a rom by myself.
@pcarvalho
thank you for your opinion...All is clear...I have trying it and then i think it's better to post in polaris section for question about the kitchen, or in alternative a moderator could move this thread to right section...
I reserved for later to post the build.log and some question not too clear...Thank you...
