xml editor other than cedit for all wm6.1 - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

ever since wm6.1 came my cedit shows funny fonts if i open any xml file on my mobile to edit may be its due to fonts ,cedit uses something like single pitched fonts as it says so i have 2 options left
1st > ask you people for xml editor other than cedit.
or 2nd > may switch back to font type which wm5 and gullum VII versions used (that is if fonts hav't changed ever since then cedit won't give any problem.)

I'm not entirely sure about the functionality of cedit, but I have written a very basic xml viewer/editor. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2112634

(Edit) Sorry, I should have read the original posting better. The following is a windows version and therefore offtopic, but maybe anyway helpful:
Some time ago I have written a nice litte XML Editor, maybe it helps someone. It can even show the XML as treeview. If you want to distribute it anywhere else, please send me a note.

Sounds much better than mine!

Of course - I am very sorry for wasting your time and have edited my posting.

well i found that about 2mb of fonts have been removed from nvid so , clean editions only have tahoma and tahomabd ,therefore i copied those fonts extracted from nvid and cedit works now ,actually you need courier new or cmbr font probably here below are all fonts.

in the rar i gave courier is shown to be 180kb and can directly be copied to dumprom dump folder for neokit users just need to refresh packages,but i gave all of them (15 files in total i guess)since i think "mtsorts" and "symbolmt" fonts are important too ,for cedit only courier new in this rar solves the problem that is 180Kb .
ps. cour.ttf might be hidden so you need to disable do not show hidden files to see it.

Sweeeeet WM XML Editor
http://mobile.orneta.com/products/notepad/download/
I'm currently using it now. Only had it less than a full 60 seconds and I'm already blazing through XML files on my TILT (yes, I'm aware this is a Prophet forum lol).
The actual program is for WM5.0 but I'm running a ROM w/ WM6.5 and it's nooooo problem! Just click the link above and it'll take you to the Save File dialog for the .cab file ^_^ Quick and utterly painless. Only thing I did was go in w/ Total Commander, find an .xml file, go to Properties then associated .xml files w/ the program's .exe =D Might have autoassociated if I opened up the file first but I had previously associated Word Mobile in some attempt to rig up the opening of the file =]
Think you're supposed to buy it but you have 14 days to tinker w/ it. I may see if I can just uninstall/reinstall and see if that clears it. Likely wont but may can find a reg setting for it =] I dont know how much it costs (didn't check that far lol) but I might be very likely to buy it if it doesnt cost very much. It's awfully handy either way!
G'luck!

Why didn't you try the build-in file editor from the Total Commander?
for simple editing and save /save as.... OK ( as I use it for .txt .xml editing)

Hi I tested l3v5y editor. But what I need is a windows mobile XML Editor offering tree view. Anybody knows a solution?
Thanks a lot.

Messed up dialpad

I installed a dialpad skin without removing the previous one (i forgot!)
To make matters worse, I then installed a third one over the top (again forgetting to remove the first two) to fix things
I now have a severely messed up dialpad.
What is the easiest way to remove all the dialpad skinning and get back to default blank settings, without hard reset?

have you tried removing the last skin from the remove prog. and then soft- resetting...
these are spb-dialpad skins that you used
I installed each one in turn again, then correctly un-installed it.
That left me with a blank white dialpad.
I have now installed a working one and its fine! yay.
Back to the original problem before I caused all this.
i have a nice iPhone dialpad, but its not VGA. Does anybody know how to modify the theme to make it VGA compatible?
Im willing to do the work/put in the time but I have no idea where to start.
Are there simply images that must be re-sized? Is there an editable file with x/y values for the buttons etc?
Any ideas?

the iphone dialpad you have is mostlikely for the eten dialer...in which case there is not much you can do...how-ever if you would like to build a dialer just uncompress the spb dialer cab...these are the file with the dimensions that you need to make
Ive not had any luck uncompressing cabs. How do I do that with free software?
A link or two would help But I know, "search the forum for yourself"....

Thanks for those, what I actualy need is to know how to edit an existing Non-VGA dialpad to be vga.
Is it just matter of re-sizing the images in the cab? I get the feeling that some hex editing of .dll or .exe files may be needed.

CAB To OEM for use with Pandora Kitchen

Hey Guys,
Yet another sleeples night, looking at something that is probably simple and getting no where.
THE PROBLEM:
APPARENTLY you can change a CAB file into an OEM so that it can be used in Pandora Kitchen, the kitchen thread says its possible, but doesnt really give directions as to how.
Considering this is a new thing to, and there is no info about this on the site (that i can find)
Can someone please tell me step by step how to do this, and by step by step i mean:
1).................
2).................
3).................
4).................
etc etc
Thankyou for your help in advance
Here is a test package I made, but I keep getting a registry errors. Maybe someone can tell me what im doing wrong. I think it was better to keep all this in the kitchen thread personalley but as long as I can figure this out I dont really care.
Extract this file and take the "Remote Desktop" dir and drop it in the OEM dir in the Kitchen, and it shows up and all but when you go to build with teh green arrow I get a registry compiling error.
I also attached the original cab file that I started with when attempting to create this package.
Also attached is the cab manager that Matt uploaded, I am sure its the same as the one posted above but this has a readme and what not.
First Matt told me this:
Using this tool (many out there, this one's free and does a good job), extract the cab to a folder, then click on XML and grab the .rgu contents. Be wary of the format, as you have to delete any spaces between entries, such as "biteme" = dword : 00000001 should read "biteme"=dword:00000001.
Also, ensure that any path in this file (file system, not registry) is in this format: "\\Windows\\Startup" The second slash is required. Also, remove any references like %ce%\Windows, just change it to "\\Windows". You'll get the idea. If it ain't right, BuildOS will fail while creating the registry.
Move all the files into the top level in the folder you made, and remove all the extra crap like the inf file, and sometimes there's an xml file there too - note that you may need to convert to a provxml if the settings in it are required.
Use this site http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen (verion 4) to get a new GUID. I'd suggest coping a .rgu and options.xml file from another package since the file has to originate a certain way - and only use notepad to edit.
Just follow the example in the other packages - you'll find just about every way to do things in there.
As far as more details on using the program, just play with it. It's pretty simple
Then Bennec83 told me this:
what exactly are you trying to do? extract a CAB? if you are, using the file i uploaded earlier:
1)Launch CAB Manager.exe
2)on main screen extract CAB to a folder
3)click on the XML tab in top bar of the main window of CAB Manager.exe
4)in the window that opens, select Registry Keys
5)copy everything from the screen into WORDPAD
6)remove all the spaces
7)save the file as "UNICODE", once saved change the extension to somename.rgu
if you are trying to add an OEM to this kitchen i dont think you can just add them, please correct me if im wrong.
i hope this helps, if not tel me abit more about wat u want to do n ill try to help abit more!!
I understand the INF file as well, I just dont know how to add multiple directories as the destinations for a package, when a cab inf will tell you where there all suppost to go.
--Update--
I removed the NON-WORKING package, as it is now obsolete, see post below I got it working.
Ok then I understand the logic, and then the proper elaborated instructions can be pasted at the first or second topic of the Kitchen thread.
So I guess im doing something wrong with the reg, I have tried it a bunch of diffrent ways by comparing it to existing packages but I still cant seem to get it.
This quote by matt is what leads me to believe that.
Also, ensure that any path in this file (file system, not registry) is in this format: "\\Windows\\Startup" The second slash is required. Also, remove any references like %ce%\Windows, just change it to "\\Windows". You'll get the idea. If it ain't right, BuildOS will fail while creating the registry.
Ok I did it, I was reading an old post of bepe's and he said "add the reg to the end of the file (and the last line must be empty)" and so I hit enter and left the last line blank and BAM it worked so here is my first package contribution.
Maybe you can start adding these to the first post and we can start to make a collection for matt to add and test with his kitchen ?
Here is another one HTCustom 1.7 ready to go package for the kitchen
Damned if I can work it out!
Can anyone please package any of the following cabs?
Ive added JUVS HTC Home because the one included in the kitchen has the coloured icons not the original b&w.
Many many thanks in advance
I am still not able to completly figure out how to make a package where you must put files in diffrent locations other then the windows folder ? I would veyr much like to figure this part out.
I dont think he's having a go at you - he's just as frustrated as you and I with this. I would love to be cooking my own roms and with the wonderful pandoras kitchen I am getting alot further along but I guess I got a lot further to go!
well, by searching you can find how to do this!!!

under "Making a Package from a CAB file"
Look here bennec83, the comment i made was not meant to be a flame at all. If anything, it should have helped you alot with what you were trying to accomplish with the program and, making packages. I mean how much more direct can i be with helping you? As I said to you before, yes some of the chef can be a little vague with explaining the "How To's" of cooking or anything else, but that still didnt stop my progression of learning what i wanted to learn on here. What i explained in the CORE's Kitchen thread, was basically 80% self taught thru reading post & threads on xda, google searching, and trial and error. The other 20% was thru xda forum members input. I have a basic understainding of computers with no type of programming skills, and yet still, i was able to grasp the concept of cooking roms and making packages. Yes sometimes you have to put 2 and 2 together to figure things out on here. How I did it was I looked inside CORE's additional OEM packages and noticed that the files inside all the oem were extracted into the root of the folder's Dir...ok..so I would assume that you spent considerable amount of time trying to figure out that OEM package program(inside CORE's Kitchen its called Cab Analizer), then i would assume that you know that it extracts files within a .cab...ok... with that given....if you look back into an already made OEM package and many others, you'll notice that most ,if not all, carry an "initflashfile.txt"(which i figured out the correct data input) and many packages also carry .rgu & dsm files, so guess what....you need to find out what are .rgu & .dsm files, and there functions(if know no ones whats to tell you in a timely manor then, search or google, like i did!) Once you learn about those then, you'll notice that the OEM package program you have infront of give information about the reg keys of the cab (if available), then you start putting 2 & 2 together! You mention in your quotes that the programs sucks ass, well that program is a key part in making packages, If you can find a better one, please let me know!

you are right that wasnt flamage!! i have been lookin so long in this forum i totally didnt think the answer would be in the wizard forum.
i have read and understood the instreuctions here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/WIZARD/ROMS/Faria WM6 ROM Kitchen.pdf
i just wish i cud have found it earlier
perhaps I'm an utter fool, but I'd like some clarification from those of you who understand this, mind you I do have Faria's PDF:
1) For a .cab with purely registration files (ie, the Cingular WAP Settings) that contains a .inf when extracted, all I would need is the .rgu to put into BuildOS, right?
2) The .dsm file (and iniflashfiles) are only needed if the .cab is an actual application, and the .dsm file that you create can very well be empty (from what I understand from Faria's rom).
Maybe it's a lack of sleep, but I'm just not getting my head around this and am so far using the Install Cabs feature from HTCustom 1.7 after flashing.
I was trying to do the cignular settings and It seemed to me that all those reg entries appear like blank er something was wrong with them, I could be wrong but thats what it appeared like to me.
Bennec, ok then bro, my mistake, I guess I shouldnt of assumed that post was directed towards me, it just felt that way and I know you were frustrated.
Lets make this the best CAB to OEM Package thread ever and start a collection on the first post, also with all you have learned now, have you figured out a way to make a package with a cab like opera where the files must be placed in to diffrent dirs ?
where are you all stuck at?
to move files to a different directory you need to use initflashes. Keep in mind that this copies it to a different directory not actually moves it. The original file will still be in \\windows
If all you want is to add registry entries, add them to an existing packages registry entries. If you create a new package for the registy entries it should have a dsm file as well.
If you want the check box in buildos you will need to create an option.xml file as well.

Good luck and happy packaging!
NYD - long time, no see!
goto the CORE's kitchen thread. Read my posts and familiarize urself with a program called "compare it". Use this program to compare ur registry when the app is freshly installed, to the registry without the app installed, and pull the reg keys that way!

Hmmmmmm.
So its not possible to cook a Rom with custom apps in Progam Files only? I mean if they are always in \\windows too then its better to install the files than to cook it in the rom.
I have always believed you should add as little as possible to Rom:

I modified mamaich's ImgfsTools so that they now create the smallest possible OS.nb from a 'dump' directory, and also write the partition table and MSFLSH header matching the new size.
...clip... make a ROM as small as at all possible, removing anything that users may not want, and turn every removed feature into a .cab that users can install to Storage...clip...

Help with UC and file copying ...

I'm trying to build a UC solution that will reinstall not only my cab files upon a reflash or hard reset but will restore as many phone settings and customizations as possible. The goal is to require only an ActiveSync to get the phone exactly back into the pre-flashed/-reset state.
One thing I'm struggling with is copying back large numbers of files. Having to copy files one at a time in a provisioning XML file seems awkward and I don't know of a tool to automatically accept a folder and generate the long sequence of XML. I've tried Sashimi instead of UC Config, but I am not becoming as large a fan as some - I don't like the fact that Sashimi won't run automatically from a fresh re-flash due to its use of MortScript (unless MortScript is run manually first, the .mscr extension isn't registered to it and Sashimi fails). Plus, Sashimi is a bit too manual in manual mode (for those cabs that are interactive and won't install automatically), requiring intervention to move from cab to cab.
What are others doing to copy over entire folders worth of files (such as HTCHome, to restore customized clock and icon styles generated by HTC Home Customizer)? Is there an XML command for copying an entire folder that UC understands or is there at least a good tool for converting an entire folder into a file-by-file XML copying sequence? Alternatively, is there a good solution for getting Sashimi to run completely automatically upon fresh re-flash without first running MortScript as well as the UC-specific CAB file that tells Sashimi to autorun on the next soft reset?
You put all the files into a cab and tell it where to install. I don't use XML at all anymore with UC.

If I can get the settings right, it looks much easier to get multiple files copied, reg settings entered, and a few other things done. I just need to get it set up right and I am at work so I have to plug along doing a little at a time. Guess I should read the manual
I get a statement saying that it is not for the right OS, anyone have experience with WinCE and can tell me how to set it up. I think I understand how to add files and export, but I set it as WM6 and it didn't work right. Help!

Excellent. This would make things much cleaner. I'm downloading and installing WinCE Cab Manager right now.
Thanks again.
Update:
Works great! Grouped the files into categories and made a cab for each. Still using XML for registry provisioning, though, since the free version of WinCE Cab Manager seems to lock out the ability to import .reg files into the cab.
so you guys are paying for WinCE Cab manager? Are there any free cab managers??
Yes. Free would be good. $99 would make me cry.

overwriting "STOCK" registry settings

im touching up on my "auto install kit" for when i flash a new .rom. everything is decent until it comes to registry settings that i want to implement.
im using sashimi, and im trying to say, change a default ringtone. when sashimi runs, its seems to run the .reg file but when i check the ringtone its still the default. i know the registry setting is correct because when i run it again, the default ringtone is now the ringtone i want.
how do i go about overwriting the registry settings? one approach ive thought about is to probably DELETE the registry settings i want to overwrite. would this be a good plan? question is how do i go about doing this.
one more step towards a stock rom for me. .
thank you guys.
Hi, it seems sashimi doesn't run your reg file, have you tried to repackage it to a cab file?
thanks for the reply, that's what ive thought of doing. any pointers on how to go about doing that?
thanks again.
use xml, easier. fire using UC command. cab also good but xml easier to update/change imho. u need to re-cab modded .reg file.

Try rgu-2-xml I downloaded it from somewhere here on XDA but I am not sure where.
Closest thing I see now is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386677 Is shows a v2 but the one I have does not show v2. Hope it works for you.
thanks again guys.. managed to .cab the .reg files for now and ill see how it does.. will look into .xml though...
Are you soft-resetting after running sashimi? It seems weird to me that your reg settings aren't 'sticking.' And do you have the reg keys in the proper folder (for auto-\storage card\sashimi\auto\reg)? Or did you mess with the settings in sashimi so the keys are just being missed? Finally, do you reg keys have the proper formatting? They should look like this (open with notepad) and have the .reg file extension:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\UCWEB6]
"HOMEPATH"="\\Program Files\\UCWEB6"
"ULP"="\\Storage Card\\My Documents\\"
hi Ted glad you can chime in. thank you

Are you soft-resetting after running sashimi? It seems weird to me that your reg settings aren't 'sticking.'

im sure i have proper formatting because i export the .reg file to my desktop, change the settings save it as .reg and export it back to my device.
also, the .reg file/s seem to work the second time i run it so i guess that rules out the "wrong formatting question"
That is weird; you could just combine all your settings into one .reg key and insert them manually (just click on it and select 'yes'). It's not like it's that hard. It sounds like a sashimi problem to me, and I can't tell you why. Maybe you should just re-install sashimi on your storage card.

I'm wondering if it doesn't have something to do with the ROM itself. I have an Exchange Server cab that I have been installing through UC. It has worked fine up until the last few builds of the kitchen 21231 & 21232.
It doesn't seem to install properly through UC now, but tapping on the cab and installing it after the flash, it works just fine.
no i dont think its the rom.
been tweaking with my "auto install kit" all day, and seems like im close nailing it down except for my ringtone. why cant i make my preferred ringtone "stick"?
everything else on my registrysettings.cab are all GO, even the activation parts but the ringtone settings. what the heck!
this did not work:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
"Sound"="\\My Documents\\My Ringtones\\24-ring-tone-4.mp3"
nor this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
"Sound"="\\My Documents\\My Ringtones\\24-ring-tone-4.mp3"
"Script-OemRingtoneGap"="w3"
"Script"="av0pw3r"
"Category"="Ring"
wait the minute! took a peak at the \My Documents\My Ringtones and noticed all the files are .wma! not .mp3! which is what my ringtone is, but why is it that when i manually change the ringtone to my preferred one, it makes the change with no problem?

Questions about constructing ROM

Hello, users of xda !
I have some questions about constructing my own ROM:
1. How to kill link Windows Media in Star Menu-Programs? Windows Media is not package and i can't edit his initflashfiles.txt file. So where I can kill his link?
2. How to add information about ROM, add image in setting About and modify copyright. See the pictures.
3. How to change waiting animation?
I will be very glad to everybody who would answer my questions!
mmmm ask to utaker VIA PM or in his kitchen thread
this has been modded in a file called Shellres.XXXX.mui Hexadecimal
to change the Windows animation you can find it inside a file called shellres.dll open it with a reshacker or PExplorer
to change the Windows media lnk just go to the media folder in sys and check for the RGU that has the lnks adress or make a shortcut in your functional rom to the place you want it... the go to that folder... and rewrite the existent lnk oh!
and delete its extension.

Hi + Que PPC.
Sorry but I'm a Newbie and trying to navigate the site.
Having great difficulty (its so large & packed full of goodies.
Already an issue.
Acquired a TyTn/Hermes (UK Orange SPV M3100) and find that the Microphone does not work during calls.
It will work when Recording Notes.
The headset works OK for calls and Notes.
Recently the Microphone started working fine for 5 mins with calls and then would not work.
Is this a common problem ?
Can it be fixed Software wise.
Is it better to use a MicroSD Card to flash a new ROM
Is it better to use the HTC ROM first.
What is the best (Stable) WM version WM6.0, 6.1 or 6.5?
And what about TouchFlo.
Can I get that installed as well ?
Sorry about posting in the wrong place.
However I do a lot of voluntary work in the Third World.

Thanks in Advance

No, after I modify this file with Restorator and rebuild ROM I didn't see any changes, because you need to modify file S000 in folder of Shellres.XXXX.mui which, I think, is clone of Shellres.XXXX.mui... I can modify it ONLY with HEX editor, but it is very difficult, and more easy to edit file Shellres.XXXX.mui with resource editor.
Maybe somebody know tool to convert Shellres.XXXX.mui to S00* files?

Can you write exactly path to this file, because I tried to open some file called shellres.dll, but I didn't see any waiting animation in it to replace with my one...

I didn't understand you... RGU files only contain reg links, not files... File links, as I know, exist in initflashfiles.txt...

Not the folder man! the mui is already tranfomed into module... by that folder and its S000X files! search for the mui file! in your oem packages
When i get home i can provide you the path... but... wich app did you use to open it? open all the ress dlls maybe one of those is the good one. is in the oem folders.
Well so do the shortcut trick i told you then... or try editong the initflash files in lang XXX folder in your oem packages.

I never upgrade VIA SD card i dislike it cause... i just have one! :) hahaha
Is it better to use the HTC ROM first.
Code:
What do you mean by first the HTC ROM?
What is the best (Stable) WM version WM6.0, 6.1 or 6.5?
Code:
I cant tell you cause the people says this... and this and this... so people has his favourites! try it all!
And what about TouchFlo.
Code:
Touch flo as is... its old... touch flo is the enhancement to roll in menus if you mind in Manila i can tell you... is nice but slow.
Can I get that installed as well ?
Code:
You can get installed manilla inside a 6.5 ROM or 6.1
