NBHextract: Extract contents from NBH files

Here is a tool to extract contents from NBH files, it is valid for all new devices using NBH format for ROM upgrades (Hermes, Trinity, Artemis, Herald, Excalibur, etc...).
It will extract all separate ROM parts contained in NBH file, and convert splash screens to BMP format. When run with '-v' parameter it also shows the signature for each block.
For more information on NBH format see NBH wiki page.
Example usage:
Code:
C:\> NBHextract.exe hermimg_HTCWWE_1.35.255.2_Ship.nbh

Thx pello for reminding me. Everything run smoothly after I download the rom again.

Is there a program to extract the resulting .nb files?

Is it possible to assemble rom of extracted rom contents?
How should I run the perl scripts?

I would like to know this as well, can the NB file be extracted?

the os.nb file is equal to the nk.fat or nk.nba file and can be extracted with the according tools to extract that type of files

NBHextract works fine....
But how can i make a nbh-file again ?

I've already found it .
nbhgen01

NBHExtract.exe generate 06_OS.nb of WM5 is ok.
NBHExtract.exze generate 06_OS.nb of WM6 as 06_Unknown.nb.
Is this a problem?
Strangely, by rename 06_Unknown.nb as 06_OS.nb, the extraction tools still work and it extract the files of the OS but with many empty header.

Call me stupid.... what's XIP?

XIP is kernel of OS.
You can see a version of XIP: Start->Settings->System->About
OS CE 5.2.20721 is current XIP.
To build ROM with new XIP you must: put "MSXIPKernel" folder to "SYS" folder. Then build you new ROM with new XIP.
For Example you can use Polaris Kitchen v1.3 - WM6.1 (Build 19214.1.0.4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379559
for build ROM.

thanks....
20721 seems have Microsoft touch function
and 20721 XIP seems good , too.
now trying ^^

Brilliant cooked in and working fine
I am a total n00b so took a risk flashing but it went in and reports as 5.2.20721

Shayder,

Good work my friend. Indeed a good help.
kindly post the os.nb.payload as you have posted in the other XIP.

...c_shekhar

"imgfs.bin" and "os.nb.payload"

First off let me say thankyou for putting this package together.
I have cooked a rom and it boots up fine so I have started to customize it. Run into a few problems that I am hoping someone will be able to fix.
Here goes
I have used the package creator to insert some cabs into the installation. 3 of my cabs went in fine the rest create errors when building the registry.
So I am looking for a way to auto run the cabs. When the OS loads it seems to run a UC application from 2 places.
config_operator.txt
config_PT.txt
These point to cabs in the \windows directory and are installed upon first running of the rom. Brilliant I though. I copied the cabs i wanted into the OEMAPPS folder. Now when the rom is flashed my cabs are 100% copied OK into the windows folder as I can see them and run them.
So I edited the config_operator.txt
CAB: \WINDOWS\googlemaps.cab
CAB: \WINDOWS\coreplayer.cab
CAB: \WINDOWS\3iepatch.cab
CAB: \WINDOWS\opera1938.cab
CAB: \WINDOWS\advancedconfig.cab
CAB: \WINDOWS\keyboard.CAB
EXEC:\WINDOWS\cusTSK.exe \WINDOWS\Htc.tsk
XML: \WINDOWS\Menu_Operation.xml
CAB: \WINDOWS\PP_AKv33-Defau
Now when I re-flashed and the OS boots and I can see it in the install run my cabs and it looks like they are installing. The last one restorepie.cab then resets the device.
Upone reset my cabs have not been installed even though it looked like they were. Why is this?
Also is there a switch I can put to delete the cab after install? something like
CAB: \WINDOWS\opera1938.cab -d
Thanks in advance.

I dont know. I cant help you with this. But i can help you with errors when building the registry.
in "*.rgu"
Usually errors such:
@=""Windows\\cecmd.exe" "%1""
You must correct to
@="Windows\\cecmd.exe %1"
errors in ""
Good luck

Installing & Using Ervius Visual Kitchen V1.8.1 For OPAL

Hi Everybody, I have a good news, Ervius Visual Kitchen V 1.8.1 is working well on OPAL, and with it you can make your own Up to date ROM and Multi Languange ROM.
First and Last, I am only presenting the Kitchen, Not the ROM, so if you have any nonworking app, please don't ask me, discuss it here with others Opal Owner because I DON'T HAVE OPAL. But if you ask me about the kitchen, i will answer it.
Thanks to:

1. EXT Folder
The External packages (EXT) folder is divided into Device Specific folders and a Shared folder:
*Device Specific folders are typically used for files (packages) that should only be applied to a specific type of the device.
Each Device Specific folder is further divided into Operating System Build Version Specific folders and a Common folder.
*Operating System Build Version Specific folders are typically used for files (packages) that should only be applied to a specific build (version) of Operating System. The Common folder is typically used for files (packages) that can be installed on any Operating System build version.
2. OEM Folder
The OEM folder can contain multiple Device Specific folders.
*Each Device Specific folder is further divided into Locale Specific folders and a Common folder.
*The Common folder is typically used for files (packages) that can be installed in any locale – not specific to a language.
*Locale Specific folders are typically used for files (packages) that should only be applied to a specific locale.
3. ROM Folder
The ROM folder is divided into Device Specific folders and a Shared folder.
*The Shared folder is typically used for kernel system files that are compatible amongst devices. (MSXIPKERNEL folder)
*Device Specific folders are typically used for kernel system files that should only be applied to a specific type of the device. (OEMXIPKERNEL folder)
-The Shared folder is further divided into Operating System Build Version Specific folders. Operating System Build Version Specific folders are typically used for kernel system files that should only be applied to a specific build (version) of Operating System.
-Each Device Specific folder is further divided into Operating System Build Version Specific folders.
4. SYS Folder
The system (SYS) folder is divided into Operating System Build Version Specific folders.
*The Build Version Specific folders will often contain files (packages) specific to the device DPI (Dot Per Inch) and Horizontal/Vertical display size.
*Each Operating System Build Version Specific folder is further divided into a ROM DPI, ROM Resolution, and Shared folder – providing a significant amount of flexibility during ROM compilation.
*The ROM DPI, ROM Resolution, and Shared folders are further divided into Locale Specific folders and a Common folder.
*The Common folder is typically used for system files (packages) that can be installed in any locale – not specific to a language.
*Locale Specific folders are typically used for system files (packages) that should only be applied to a specific locale – for example, 0409 (English).

Updating visual kitchen with new build
SOURCE OF HOT BUILD
If you want to Build a new ROM with The new Build, go to here to get the Source.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
UPDATING VISUAL KITCHEN WITH NEW BUILD
We assume to update my 21844 visual kitchen for OPAL with newer Build (example 23037).
A. EXT
1. In the EXT\Opal create a new empty folder with the name of the build (example 23037).
2. copy the folder “Opal_External_Packages” inside EXT\Opal\21844 to EXT\Opal\23037.
Now your extended packages is ready
B. OEM
No need to modify this Folder
C. ROM
1. In the ROM\Opal Folder, create a new folder with the name of the build (example 23037). Copy the OEMXipKernel folder from ROM\Opal\21844 into this folder as shown below:
2. in the ROM\Shared Folder, create a new folder with the name of the build (example 23037). Copy the MSXipKernel folder from New Build into this folder as shown above.
D. SYS
In the SYS Folder, create a new folder with the name of the build (example 23037). Copy the SYS from the new Build into this folder as shown below:
DUMP XIP.BIN TO GET MSXIPKernel
TO make a new build ROM, we need MSXIPKernel, and sometime people only provide xip.bin of the new build. If it happens we need to dump it to get MSXIPKernel, download that file, and dump it with XIPPort.exe, here is the tools.:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125449740/a1b9e454/XIPPort.html
Now, put the attached file and the xip.bin in the same folder, then run XIPPort.exe, click “dump xip.bin” and wait until folder “OUT” appear, then click “make pkgs”, close the XIPPort.exe.
Go to folder “out” and you will find “Files and Modules” folder, inside each folder, you will find folder MSXIPKernel. Move the module inside OUT\MODULES\MSXIPKernel to OUT\FILES\MSXIPKernel, now you have the MSXIPKernel. And don’t forget to delete any *.txt file inside MSXIPKernel.
USING VISUAL KITCHEN
After add new build, run the kitchen, and you will get pic as below:
1. Choose your device, Opal
2. Choose your XIP Build
3. Choose your SYS Build
4. Choose your EXT Build
The default compression is XPR, you can make LZX compression by select the LZX.
You can change the PP, click "Other" Buton, you will see pic below:
Enter the number of PP as you want, the default for Opal is 12Mb, More PP make the ROM more stable and multitasking, you can make experience for the number of PP.
You can weather the package in the EXT, OEM, or SYS to include in the ROM or no by double click the name of packages.
OK that is all, you ready to click the "Create ROM" Button.
HAPPY COOKING Time to SLEEP....

Hey BesFen, I think we need a post about memory mapping in this thread. One of the biggest things I've found that makes a rom invariably suck is poor memory mapping. It can even lead to not booting. I use this list of modules that can be converted to files from EDTP. It helped me fix my mapping issue without breaking anything. I use RightClickRecmod from this post for converting. Right click recmod needs C++ Runtimes and .NET Framework in order to work. If for any reason that doesn't work for someone they can do it from inside the kitchen itself (I've never tried it that way) or they can use a .bat script I found here.
RightClickRecmod
•C++ Runtimes
•.NET Framework
The modules that can convert to file:
Code:
AdobeFlash = ALL

BlueTooth = bthpbap.dll ONLY!!!!
BROWSING = browser.dll, iexplore.exe and wmlview.dll
BROWSINGCORE = jscript.dll, mlang.dll and msscript.dll only.
Browsingie = ALL
BTDUN = NONE
Bth_A2DP = Avrcp_MPplugin.dll only.
Bth_HID = All except for bthidsvc.dll

You can convert some modules to files.
If you can, try to make 0 module in slot 0 by convert some module, it will very good in releasing memory management and avoid "not enough memory" happened in your device.

Something wrong
Hey guys thanks for all your work on making this kitchen.But i think something is wrong somewhere.I build a rom 23037 and it booted and came up to the home screen,it has good speed but no backgroung,the home settings does not work,comm manager don't work and some other settings. What could be wrong?
Oh and i noticed that on boot the ONBL is 1.27.0000 and the OS is 1.26.0.0.

100% working
Guys i figured out what was wrong.The EXT folder don't have all the files for the Opal to work correctly.You can download the files from here : http://rs415.rapidshare.com/files/148930538/Opal_Stock_ROM_OEM_Folder.rar
I replaced all the files in the EXT and OEM folder with the ones i downloaded, build the rom and everything works great.By the way the SYS and XIP has to be 96dpi for it to work on the opal.

You can double click the app name from the kitchen list, or you can remove the folder name of app from EXT Folder.
The PDA may not boot (Brick) if:
1. the different version of XIP and SYS to far.
2. you don't put complete xip's files
But you can fix it by flash with others ROM, just go to Bootloader or Tricolor (I don't know which Button must press in Opal), connect your PDA to PC, and Flash again, very simple.

thanks BesFen!
i gotta try this.

ROM create is running, but very slowly. Looks like a fresh ROM. Btw, when I dump a cooked rom, it stop with error, may be protected ROM! Anybody know how to overcome that?

Including Other Apps
Does anyone know how to add Apps (.cabs) to the list on the Kitchen so its included into the ROM like other apps not included.

Protected ROM can not be dumped, better you dump a stock (Official) ROM.
The ROM should run fast in opal, not slow, pls inspect the xip and sys, maybe you miss some module/file, or put the module not in right place.

Thank you,
I follow all the instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554858, dump the orginal rom 6.1, built a rom, then I want to dump the created rom, but cannot!
The instruction does not mention anything about xip, cause the kitchen create it during building process. So just the sys. I download the sys in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445;
ported it in the kitchen, change the dpi to 96, res to 240x320, then create. But some time the ROM can boot, some time it cannot. Btw, if it boot, I found lots of errors, and don't know how to resolve it.
Does anybody have a stock 6.5 ROM or every thing dump from it?

My device is also a Polaris

XIP inserts settings (recommended)
1.PRB default: (..\TOOLS\implantxip xip.bin OS.nb.payload)
A: Set Nb type=os.nb.payload ; set extra=NBMerge ; set NBMerge=Kaiser ; set tool=Imgfs_xxx
B: Set Nb type=os.nb ; set extra=osnbtool ; NBMerge not set ; set tool=osnbtool
2.EVK mode:
A: Nb type is os.nb.payload ; set extra=NBMerge ; set NBMerge=Kaiser ; set tool=Imgfs_xxx
3.osnbtool: (..\TOOLS\osnbtool -c OS.nb.payload 1 xip.bin)
A: Set Nb type=os.nb ; set extra=osnbtool ; NBMerge not set ; set tool=osnbtool
I recommend using OSNBTOOL, it can automatically adjust NB partition size, free up space.

[TOOL][WINDOWS][.PNG][.9.PNG] Android Drawable Resizer Tool

[TOOL] Android Drawable Resizer Tool
Hi!
Can you count how many times you created a drawable for your app?
The answer is probably NO.
You opened your favorite image-editing software, designed a beautiful drawable, saved, and now of course, there's the simple but annoying thing, of resizing the drawable to fit every density.
No more! Android Drawable Resizer, replaces you in the last annoying part.
All you have to do, is to choose a drawable, tell the software which density does it belong to, choose the the res folder, and press Go!. The software will know how and where to place each resized drawable, with the correct name.
Requirements:
If you don't have a .NET Framework installed, download and install this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa496123
Instructions:
1. Download the zip file.
2. Extract it including the .dll file.
3. Run the .exe file.
*Note: Both files need to be in the same place in order to activate the program!
4. Choose the source drawable density
5. Choose the drawable you want to resize
6. Choose which densities you want to export to
7. Choose the destination folder. The program will create a folder for each density selected (if the folder doesn't exist), and then insert the resized drawables to their right place
8. Press Go!
9. Enjoy!
10. Hit the Thanks button, or even donate for my work

Yes, I have just created a new version that supports .9.png files.
As for your second question, you shouldn't hardcode sizes in the layout file. You should use different drawables for each density.
You can use my application to do this easily, but you should also read this entry in the android API guides:
Supporting Multiple Screens

GREAT!
Great work! Best thing is .9 png support. Very good...
I will try it tomorrow..

Soon I will upload a version which supports automatic bug reporting. Please if the application crashes, send me the details

Let me know if you need more: CRASH DUMP (temp file)
Crashes when trying to run.
Code:
<Parameter8>System.IO.FileNotFoundException</Parameter8>
Thank you for your efforts on this handy tool.

Solved it, I was stupid enough to not include a dll file. :silly:
I uploaded a new version. The zip now contains two files.
Both files need to be in the same place in order to activate the program!

Thanks! Works now!
Much appreciated for the prompt response and fix.
Now if I may make a couple requests/suggestions.
It would be great to be able to choose multiple files(select all) when browsing for images to resize(for batch processing)
As it takes a while to do each one individually, but not as long as resizing manually, so that's a plus!
Maybe that is something I am overlooking on my end to enable that in that selection window.
Other thing I noticed was with the destination density:
I assumed that selecting a destination density would then give me that resolution as output.
I quickly found out, that was the opposite of how it works.
The density I chose was the only one not produced/resized, so essentially they are all enabled by default and the selection is to omit or remove a density from the process.
That's fine I suppose, just a little reverse of what I initially thought.
Maybe it would be better to only output the densities selected, I don't know, small detail I guess.
The last thing was that I noticed it tags each image name with it's density in the image name.
That requires a lot of renaming if doing many images.
Seems maybe if they output to relevant resolution folders, they would not have to be renamed at all.
Again, maybe this was my fault, due to using an output folder and not leaving it to do it's default thing, but I don't think that's the case.
Thanks again for your efforts on this.
I could see this becoming very useful, keep up the great work! :good:

First, I'm glad it now works.
Second, Thank you for the suggestions. About the multi-select, it have been in my to-do list since the beginning.
About the images renaming, you are absolutely right, especially after multi-select will be supported...
I am starting to work on that right now. Probably tomorrow there will be new version:fingers-crossed:
Update: I am almost done, and it looks really good :victory:

You can look at my progress in the first page in the To-Do section.
I am currently testing the new features, and already working on new ones
Update: I finished the version. Many features added!

Sweet... This should help out tons... Especially for this new app I'm making! Thanks for sharing!

thanks a bunch needed something like this to help transfer my s3/n2 theming into my note 10.1 rom this seems like it will be perfect for the job any chance of a linux version in the future? if not no biggie thats what vm's are for

Thank you so much! Finally!!!

Looks awesome! Good work! That being said, you should probably be careful distributing the ComponentFactory.Krypton.Ribbon.dll because it's not free and you use it's KryptonGallery control... But I'm not judging lol. Just be careful!
Also, I think you should put in some exception handling for your updating. Your web host's server's CPU limit was reached and nothing can connect to it right now, thus throwing an ArgumentOutOfRangeException when it tries to parse the downloaded update info.
You could also check out my .NET updater tutorial on YouTube if you want to implement that into this project - HERE

A great app for developers! Would need this for a widget of mine ^^
