No I've never used T650Tool...will that let me add the files without doing the entire ROM update again?

you will have to run the ROMUpdater again after you have added the files you need. I use Botzam Backup and simply do a restore after I reflash my Treo. I make changes all the time and have never had a problem.

There is a PDF file on this site that I downloaded and read through to get me started in understanding how to use the T650Tool from Shadowmite to create the custom ROMs. I mostly read from page 6 on in the document.

O.K. Yeah there is a problem

***ROM 5 - the one without Versmail - on this thread is MISSING files that allow you to set font size in BLAZER***

Guess I should PM the thread starter so he can fix it....

Looking at the description of his ROM #5 that is basically what I stripped and started with, minus the loss of the fonts. If I can figure out how to get them to you I will. I guess I could email the files to you. PM me if you want me to do that.

Wow thanks for all the help. I'm not sure at this point what will be quicker... redoing the whole thing or using this tool.

So are you sure those are the three files I need to set font size in blazer? How/why do you think they are missing in the ROM 5 given in the first post? Is it that they are also used with Versamail, so when he stripped versamail he took these out too?

Are you sure that you need all three? I thought that it was just the one file that was needed for font control in Blazer. The master list on shadowmite's site specifically mentions that one of the three is needed for Blazer.

Your right I just look at the list again and the file that is needed is:
PalmSGHiResFonts.pdb

It states that this file will affect Blazer.

O.K. so I am going to try just adding that file to the ROM folder and then installing that ROM which will hopefully spare me from doing the whole firmware update all over again...

I'll post an update....if there any other suggest/ideas/thoughts please post as I will continue to check this thread during the process...

[2000 Man]

Can someone remind me how many font options there are supposed to be in Blazer? I did my own custom ROM with the one file indicated for Blazer. I have the option to set font sizes as small or large.

Use the T650Tool to add the file.

Um...I actually unzipped the folder and copied the file in and rezipped the folder, will that not work?

Large and Small are the two options.

[2000 Man]

Large and Small are the two options.

Then just the one file is needed. Good to know that I made mine correctly.

[JohnH59]

Um...I actually unzipped the folder and copied the file in and rezipped the folder, will that not work?

My understanding is that it should unless my accident you get a folder inside that folder. If you have not added any other apps to your ROM there should not be any problem. There is a cap on the zip file size, but if you have not added any files you are way below that size. Just make sure you there is not a folder inside the ace-palmos.zip file. That is the one the file needed to be added to.

Checksum error...guess you do need the tool...

I am trying to upload them to one of my servers, but I have not put anything there in awhile and am not sure my permissions are still granted.

Thanks...I think I've got the hang of the tool...will know in a minute

Nope still got the check sum error.... Will play some more with the tool...

After you "Build" the ROM, be sure to copy both files that are created to the ROM Folder.

Yeah...I figured that was my problem and I re-did it...everything SEEMED to work....but alas when I did the requested hard reset I get the palmOne screen but no black bar along the bottom...

I'm thinking I've royal screwed my phone. D'OH!

Alas I'll be heading to the Sprint store tomorrow and either they can fix it or replace it. If they give me a hard time I have the Sprint phone insurance.

It was probably a BAD idea trying to do this at 2:00 am in the morning on not enough sleep...

Alas my "p" key was going I was eventually going to have to get this phone replaced anyways...

[shadowmite]

Folks be careful here. DO NOT MAKE A CUSTOM ROM WITHOUT USING MY TOOL OR KNOWING WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Any addition or subtraction to the ace-palmos.zip file has to also be placed or removed from the boot.conf file for it to work properly. That's one of the first things we learned could kill a rom if done incorrectly.

Sorry for the problems. i am trying to get a site up now that will have some of my ROMs that I have tested. You might try a reset or two. I have had to do that in the past. Once it goes through the process once, it seems to be okay after that. Let me know if I can help, or screw you up more!
