Hi
I have a list of my favourite apps that I like to expand and delete from as new apps come out and old ones get replaced.
I have done a search and can find a nice amount of info on cooking a ROM based on an open ROM, such as Gullums. But I dont want to do that really. I'd like to keep my Apps seperate from my OS.
Is there a way of packaging a bunch of CAB files into just the one?
I've done something similar with EXE on my PC, so in theory its possible, oui? non?
cheers all.
Well I had a bit of a better dig around in my Lunchbreak.
I've found this program which creates an executable EXE for a PC desktop install for multiple CABS, easy to use too
http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/PocketSetupCreator.html
but I'd still rather have just one CAB file which I can install from my Prophet.
any other Ideas?
In the program
goto : "builder"
Now click on "add redistribution modules to include". You can select cab, SQL or .net files.
It will include those files to the cab how is created
cheers for the reply, but Im unsure what program you mean?, can you let me in on your riddle.
However...
PocketSetup Creator is very very basic.
I've found a better version which creates compressed PPC EXE files but its $60 to knock that one on the head, I dont need this that badly, for those who are interested its called.
pocketpc Installer
http://www.phelios.net/pocketpcinstaller.html
Any other ideas, Gullum how do you do this for your cooked roms, some of your releases had a 2nd install once the ROM had been updated, with a few roms coming down e.g. Gullum Custom CAB ect.
Sorry, I speak from http://www.aperitto.com/content/view/14/28/ less basic but 29€ (app; 36$US).
Very usefull app, so you can search for cabarc.exe (or enything how is approximtly that) for free and command line cab creator from M$
how can i modify registry keys such as htccpl in any rom kitchen? possible at all? or are they always related to the htccpl.cpl in the windows folder? how to modify that one then?
i just can't modify or delete them in neokit.
cheers.

Some in reg, some in provxml Check your PM for more detail, friend !
yeah, thanks, mate! i found all entries i need in those provxml files! great stuff!!
now i am almost done with all modifications reverting everything back to "original".
any ideas how to change "hidden" status of a single file? i want to make the templates for notes and office visible.
cheers!

I'm not sure what you are talking about, but I do like the word "original".... If you are done, is it worth sharing?
well, as i stated in cloudyfa's thread, i am not a friend of too heavily customized roms even though most of them look pretty cool. everyone is individual and has a different taste. therefore i really liked korand's contribution. unfortunately there were still some minor flaws, such as an incorrect wm6 sound scheme (as i believe), which i could not figure out to fix.
but with cloudyfa's rom providing wpa2 and showing no signs of bugs so far, i just could not resist making my own close-to-originally-offical wm6.1 rom, because no-one seemed to respond to my appeal of making a truely clean version. so i took the challenge myself... and it was quite some lesson and a lot of fun, however, i still do not consider myself a rom cook (yet).
and "yes", i will share it if cloudyfa does not mind and if i will not encounter any problems while testing my "creation" at the moment. i only need to figure something out about user customization. maybe you have an idea since i could not find anything specific on my question:
if uc is enabled, will it still be possible to run autorun from extended rom even though it would be redundant? because there is still the registry key set for autorun destination on extended rom. or can i delete it? or should i leave it for some kind of "dual autorun mode" ?
cheerio.

yups, you can still run some application from extende rom.
At windows folder, you will find config.txt . You have to give some command on it.
The command there, is just a RST ( Reset ) . But If you give a command first, it will install some cabs. It all command from AutoRun
This is some command
LOCK: Enable
CAB: \Extended_ROM\TCPMP.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Cabs\ABCD.CAB
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
the command will install TCPMP.cab and ABCD.cab
share at XDA is always a good one.
With Cloudyfas ROM, there is a provxml file that sets the keys for AutoRun to somewhere in the windows directory. You will have to remove/alter that for autorun from the storage card.
The point of AutoRun is to allow you to install cabs etc before the user can really use the ROM. UC is to provide users with a faster way to set up the ROM. The two can and should co exist.
so if i got it correctly: putting the common command lines of the extended rom autorun PLUS the command lines of sdautorun into this single config.txt file would make the device boot and install from both locations one by one?
so, what are your recommendations about the registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"TurnRadioFlag"=dword:0
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Extended_ROM\\config.txt"
"AutoRun"="\\Extended_ROM\\autorun.exe"
leave it or kill it??
edit: decided to remove it due to its complete redundancy. it is uc already... now i am close to finishing.
edited edit: put it back in. i think it won't hurt and maybe someone still needs it.
cheerio.
One of Cloudyfas ProvXML files overwrites that, so it is completely redundant!
It's called mxipupdate_zz_oemoperators_102_CheckAutorun.provxml
You can look at it and see what it does.
The two AutoRun files (SDConfig.txt and Config.txt) are separate files that run independently. The point of UC is User Customization. All you need to do is make sure SDAutoRun.exe is in \Windows and that the last line of your config.txt file is
Code:
EXEC:\Windows\SDAutoRun.exe
That is all that is needed for it to run.
ok. removed the redundant entries. i was just thinking there might be some way of a "dual boot". but actually this is rubbish. so i leave it as uc as it is.
The point of UC is that the two are seperate. Everything can be achieved with just one of the two systems, but with UC, you (the chef) can install cabs, and the user can install tweaks etc.
Now introducing... the HyperCore Athena ROM Kitchen!
First, though, props to anchillus and his HyperCore kitchen. I took it, and made a few small modifications so that it's built for the Athena instead.
Feature Highlight:
Since this is a full-blown ROM kitchen, you can tweak your own ROM however you like. You can do anything that you've seen other people do with their ROMs! All that customizability is at your disposal.
Prepopulated with Windows Mobile 6.1 from the HTC Diamond (5.2.19915).
Prepopulated with applications from the HTC X7501, HTC X7510, and HTC Diamond.
Pictures are not being posted because you already know what Windows Mobile looks like - it's up to you to make it look pretty.
Installation:
Unzip. The "Core" folder goes in as C:\Core. The "HyperCore" folder can go wherever you like; the default HyperCore installer puts it on your desktop.
If you're on SPL 1.2, you'll need to copy an SPL 1.2 OS.nb on top of HyperCore\Build\ROM\OS.nb.
Instructions:
If you want to get your hands dirty right away without reading through the HyperCore instructions, here's the extremely quick version (if you already know how to handle a ROM kitchen):
Make changes in HyperCore\Build. SYS contains the base Windows Mobile 6.1 files, while OEM contains folders that HTC or you provide.
Once you've tweaked SYS and OEM to your heart's content, under HyperCore\Panel\Build, run BuildOS. You'll need to run [1] and [2] to build OS.nb in HyperCore\Build, and then [3] to convert OS.nb to RUU_signed.nbh.
Flash your ROM onto your phone.
...
...
Profit! (j/k)
If you encounter the endless customization loop problem, edit HyperCore\Build\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat, then find and remove the section for AutoRun.
Known issues/concerns:
The XIP is the XIP from AP 5.0 beta (build 19588.1.1.4, which was from the Sony X1 Xperia ROM). I've tried to generate a matching XIP for the ROM, but it won't boot. Anybody around here know how to create a good XIP?
There seem to be some issues with the Bluetooth OBEX service not being able to start. That's true of this ROM as well. It's able to send files to a PC without a problem, but it can't receive files (although it can copy them).
Even though screen rotation works both in the operating system and in HTC Album, HTC Album's screen rotation has the chance to screw up the operating system's screen rotation. A workaround is to use an application that can restart services (such as the FdcSoft Task Manager) to restart HTC Sensor Service (Athena).
Although the phone skin does work on 128 and 96 dpi, the speed dial application can act flaky and start drawing itself off-screen, which can trigger an error. One workaround is to dial a single number, then rotate the screen, which forces a redraw, after which it functions properly.
The VGA HTC Home plugin could be in slightly better shape. The TabSetting registry entry doesn't seem to work (or at least nobody's responded to me here yet), and the Profile tab shows a keyboard vibration option that, naturally, doesn't work.
The enlarged start menu has some icon overlap on 128 dpi.
The nifty System Status popup on 96 dpi seems to trigger just to the left of the connectivity indicator, while not triggering on the connectivity or signal strength indicators. It does work, just a little strangely on the other dpi settings.
Sym-A now generates the _ character instead of the $ character.
During phone calls, the number keypad is active instead of the alphabetic keyboard.
NOTE:
Much as with Athena Project Kitchen, this ROM kitchen is not to be used for releasing ROMs. It's for personal use only. We really don't need twenty-billion ROMs flooding this forum from everybody who wants that one little tweak.
Exceptions can be made for people who have demonstrated a solid history of producing ROMs. Ask if you feel like you have a strong case for why your ROMs need this kitchen. The current exception list: irus.

Fixes/patches:
Attached to this post. Replace:
HyperCore\Tools\RUU\Athena_RUU.exe with the one from Athena_RUU.zip
Core\ACK\Settings.txt (Updated: July 20, 2008)
I'll be adding additional information to the next few posts over the next several days as time permits (and questions pop up).
P.S. The restriction about personal use isn't about elitism. It's about keeping the forum organized. I just don't want to see every other thread in the forum being a ROM release thread, and there's no reason to make sergiopi's job harder by making him keep track of dozens of minimally different ROMs.
Additional OEMs
NOTE: If you're add OEM packages with modules, you will want to run G'Reloc in your HyperCore\Build directory before you run BuildOS.
HTC EzInput 1.5.31226.0/HTC XT9 1.5.31232.0:
A keyboard designed for use with fingers. There are two large button keyboards (portrait and landscape versions), along with a phone keypad keyboard. The portrait/landscape keyboards swap automatically with the screen orientation. Only works properly in 192 dpi.
Megaupload
HTC LongPressEndKey 1.1.33562.2:
A nifty quick menu program that provides a number of convenient functions. A little less useful on the Athena due to, well, the lack of an end key, but potentially useful regardless. Not tested in other resolutions yet, but likely only works properly in 192 dpi.
Megaupload
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5.7283.00:
Required for running .NET Compact Framework programs. Meant to replace SYS\NetCF.
Megaupload
WkTask 1.1.7.3c:
A task manager that alters the taskbar to function more like that in traditional Windows, in addition to providing a battery bar and task launcher.
Megaupload
If you would like to change your extended ROM to add packages there for automated installation upon hard reset, you can use the extended ROM editor. You can then convert that with Dutty's NBH tool (available in the kitchen in HyperCore\Tools\Convert) and reflash.
Kitchen Tweaks/Suggestions
Additional OEM Packages:
It's quite possible to find OEM packages out there for quite a bit of software, in order to save yourself time in making your own. If you can't find one, though, there are a number of links on how to assemble your own OEM package - for example, there's a wiki article about making your own OEM package, which also has a bunch of links to existing OEM packages. Just be aware that most of the OEM packages you'll find out there are designed for 96 dpi, and thus may not work on the Athena the way you might expect - the Spb applications are a pretty good example of these, as they come with separate VGA resources.
Package Recommendations:
If you're going to make registry changes, it's usually a good idea to make a custom EM package to contain them. I would recommend using the UUID ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff, as that will force it to be the last registry file processed (ensuring that your registry entries "win" over those in any other OEM packages).
Package Dependencies:
PACKAGE_Diamond_Album_HTC_ALL can't function properly without PACKAGE_Diamond_HTCGesture, PACKAGE_Diamond_SensorSDK, and X7510_GSensor
PACKAGE_Diamond_VolumeControl depends upon resources in Diamond_LargeTitleBar
RealVGA_DPI_96 depends upon the *_DPI_96 directories in SYS
RealVGA_DPI_128 depends upon the *_DPI_128 directories in SYS
X7510_AudioManager refers to X7510_AudioBooster (menu option)
X7510_TouchFlo depends upon PACKAGE_Diamond_SmartTouch
PROVXML Changes:
If you want to change how your ROM thinks of itself, change HyperCore\Build\OEM\OEMVERSION\mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml. ROMVersion is currently set to "Athena_6.1", but feel free to change that to whatever you like.
Registry Changes:
Here's a starter list of potential registry changes.
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\MicroDrive\Internet Explorer\Cache"
"History"="\MicroDrive\Internet Explorer\History"
Move your Pocket IE cache and history to your MicroDrive.
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000008
Increase the number of simultaneous connections Pocket IE makes to servers to 8.
Code:
[HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}]
"AEFrequencyType"=dword:00000002
Prevent Windows Mobile from screen-locking while plugged in.
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation]
"4-Way Nav"=dword:00000000
Have Pocket IE-based widgets scroll by screen, not by link.
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:00000000
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004

Go back to sleep faster when auto-waking (60 seconds).
Code:
[HKLM\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00008000
Increase the graphical caching. A good size has not yet been determined, although this is the value often recommended for QVGA devices (a VGA device likely needs more).
Code:
[HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
"CS"=dword:00001000
Increase font caching.
Code:
[HKLM\System\GWE]
"Animate"=dword:00000000
Disable window animation.
Code:
[HKLM\System\GWE\Menu]
"AniType"=dword:00000000
Disable Start Menu animation.

That's the thing, though - it doesn't matter much to me that it displays the XIP/system version there. Now, if other people care enough to go and change that, it's entirely up to them.

Thanks for introducing this kitchen
When I unzipped the download, I had more than 4000 error displayed. Could I ignore them?
Also, you mentioned that for spl1.2, I need to replace the os.nb in the HyperCore\Build\ROM\ directory. But I found that directory to be empty to start with. Is there supposed to be an spl3.5 os.nb there already?
Is this base ROM the same as the one we have been testing in the base wm6.1 thread?

works for me if you open in the latest 7zip beta proper, rather than right click and extract here.

Hey all -
If you are looking for build 23025A, please see Post #3.
Here's 23017B. On my initial boot, I have over 29.5 meg free after running Oxios.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS BUILD:
A new splash screen (thanks to eigerzoom)
Replaced psShutXP with PowerOptions - this has a functioning shutdown feature, and a few other neat tricks
Replaced Oxios Hibernate with the complete Oxios Suite - this also include Oxios Close-Apps, which will free up even more memory (but will close all of your open apps)
DOWNLOAD LINK:
Click here for 23017B (with white taskbar icons)
Click here for 23017B (with a colored taskbar theme)
Here's a list of some of the things I have included:
Memory and battery meter
Updated video drivers
Stock start menu
HTC Task Manager
Advanced Configuration 3.3
Total Commander
nueLED
Oxios Suite (Hibernate and Close-Apps)
PowerOptions
PocketRAR (automatically set as default for .zip and .rar)
AutoRun (UC)
Bluetooth Explorer
Fixed Comm Manager (both in button assignments, and Systems menu)
New splash screens
Built carrier free (see note below)
And a few personal tweaks - skinny scroll bars, ClearType enabled, larger fonts, the old IE set as default, ReplyAll fix and a few other things.
PLEASE NOTE:
This ROM was built carrier free. You MUST install a carrier cab for this to work. Find your carrier cab from here:
Carrier cabs
TO ENABLE MMS:
Here are a few cabs I have found on here and ppcgeeks that should help you enable MMS (multimedia messaging - pictures/video messaging). If any of these do not work, or if you have a better cab or a cab for another carrier, please post your information and I will update the catalog. I cannot vouch whether or not these work and am relying on you to verify. Please make sure you only install the cab designated for your carrier.
MMS cabs
I have also put together a few of my favorite programs that I install afterward to share. Please look through and enjoy!
Ivan's Collection of Handy Programs
Many many thanks to bbsandkm, mattsm, TPlane37, Joojoobee666, the PPCK team, the authors of all of the cabs linked from this post (I take no claim or responsibility for them) and everyone else who helped me along the way.
Click here to chat with us on our IRC Channel if you need immediate assistance.
Any changes either major/minor now that we've moved to the 23xxx build number?
Any fun screenshots or just the same old stuff?
Until I feel these latest builds have become fleshed out enough to become stable, I will keep them here in the third post. Please keep in mind that anything from this post is not entirely functional and meant as a preview only. I recommend having a stable ROM handy to revert back to after you are done testing.
The current build is 23025A. I have 4 different versions available for you. For the most part, the builds include the exact same programs and tweaks as the builds in Post #1. Here are the links and differences:
23025A - white taskbar icons & no HTC Task Manager
23025A - colorful taskbar icons & no HTC Task Manager
23025A - white taskbar icons & yes HTC Task Manager
23025A - colorful taskbar icons & yes HTC Task Manager
Please keep in mind that having the HTC Task Manager in these new builds is a double-edged sword. It works partially, but causes some distortion in the top taskbar; that is why you have the option to use it or not.

I agree it sucks. I'll look into a fix and see what I can do (but I was under the impression it is actually built in to poutlook.exe, so I'm not sure if there is anything that I actually can do).
OK, I fixed the Reply All issue. If you want to replace the left softkey in Outlook from Reply All to simply Reply, it's a simple reg edit that will go into my next ROMs. In the meantime, here's the edit and a cab which will do it for you:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Services\OutlookEnhancement]
"Dll"=""
Enjoy!
Good find and good share man! I will be throwing that in as well. Who wants to reply to all lmao. What a dumb feature. I could see if you could select a few messages then click reply all but..

No problem. If you have never flashed before, please be sure to read the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
It has some fantastic information and will guide you through all the necessary steps to unlock your phone, upgrade the radio (if needed) and load a new ROM.
I have the .nbh named TITAIMG.nbh because that is what's needed for an SD card flash. If you'd prefer to use the ROM Update Utility (available in the link I pasted above), you will need to rename the nbh to RUU_Signed.nbh.
Also, if you are a carrier other than Alltel, you will need to install the proper carrier cab for your provider. You can pick that up from here:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/titan/carriers/
Hope that helps!

So does this rom that I got at the beginning of this thread have the radio included? If not, which should I get and from where...
I read that thread you sent me to but theres alot of information that just makes me confused.
I have an alltel ppc6800 with WM 6.1 stock. I only want the rom with 6.5 that I found in this thread.
Im not sure what chef is or a kitchen, except for the obvious...

First, a "kitchen" is a program used to create ROMs. A "chef" is a person such as myself who uses the kitchen to create ROMs.
Second, custom ROMs do not contain radios. Make sure you have a 3.x radio. Personally, I use the 3.42.50 (the latet radio made available for our phones). You can check your radio version in Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information. If you need to upgrade your radio, go here and download the latest Alltel ROM (which does contain the radio):

You will need to re-unlock your phone afterwards.
Third, make sure you understand everything on that wiki I sent. It is extremely important that you understand what you are doing to your phone when you unlock/upgrade. There is the potential for this to either go great and you will be very happy...or for this to not work out well at all and damage your phone if you make mistakes. I'll do what I can to help explain things, but we need to make sure you understand.
Here is another important page to read:

Also, please note that you will lose all of the data on your phone. Make sure you backup any contacts, calendar items, etc by using available programs. I prefer PimBackup (http://www.dotfred.net/). Also, make sure you have any cabs you may need to re-install your desired programs after upgrading.
I started the Bootloader update utility and now im stuck at the tri-colored screen. it says SPL-2.40.Olipro CPLD-9 the dos window dissapeared at this point...
I read somewhere I need to disable activesyne and run a program ~ http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9229 ~ and that should take care of it but i cant figure out how to disable activesync in vista.
Uh oh....

That SPL means your phone is unlocked. Congratulations. Now flash the radio (if necessary) or the new ROM. You're on the right track! And don't disable activesync.
Edit - Vista doesn't even have ActiveSync. We Vista users have Windows Mobile Device Center.
I cant get it to go past the tri colored screen though...
I haven't updated my bootloader in almost a year, so I'm a little rusty. But here are a few things to try:
If you are flashing from the USB, take out your SD card. If you are flashing from SD card, take out the USB cord. It's preferable to flash via SD card if you have one that is compatible.
If that doesn't work, what happens when you try to run the exit bootloader program from the thread you linked?
Ok, I figured it out thanks to you. It was just waiting for the new Rom..
Thanks for your help..
I'm on of those guys who hates the windows 6.5 Honeycomb menus. So after reading some points here I changed mine. Now you can to!
AwesomeStart is a modification to WM 6.5 that gives you a nice simple list that's fun and easy to use. Just install the cab and you're good to do.
Better yet, couple it with JSPA's Program Manager and my own Start Menu Sorter and you'll have the best menu in town.

Click here for Start Menu Sorter
Note this is for WVGA (480x800) devices running Windows Mobile 6.5 and supports both Portrait and Landscape.
- Update - Sorry, forgot the cab file.. now it's attached.

Not Working...
I just tried your app on my TP2 CDMA with Mighty Mike 6.5 ROM and it does not appear to work unless there is something I'm missing.... but it seemed pretty strait forward...
Any ideas or comments?
Not working either
tried but does not work on my HD2
"installation unsuccessful"...strange!
Weird.. the only thing I can think of is for some reason the cab refuses to overwrite files in your windows directory. I'll attach just the source files. Just unzip them and copy the files in to the \Windows directory on your device.
Vga pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
zip file
So just copy this Unzipped file and put into -windows-?
Copied the contents of zip file and then did a soft reset but doesnt seem to work on the HD2
Doesn't work on HD2. Tried cab and tried zip to overwrite files. Neither work after soft reset. Plesse kindly fix as I SO want this.
Cant get it to work on my TP2 with HTC 6.5 rom either...?
Works great on my Rhodium, thanks!
Strange about the HD2. Can you see what StartMenu_GridScene files you have in your windows directory? Maybe they are by a different name.

nope, they are the same name, just verified. I can confirm it isnt working for my HD2 either
** edit
and can also confirm that the files in your cab are now in the windows folder. Backed up the old ones and the new ones have different modified dates

They are by the same name but there are also the following files which may or may not require modifying..
StartMenuCust_480x800.cpr
StartMenuCust_800x480.cpr
StartMenu_Global_800x480.cpr
StartMenu_Global_480x800.cpr
ok i figured it out guys, i attached a zip containing the 2 files that also have to be included. just copy these into your windows folder along with the cab in post 1. Please include them in a new cab (if you like of course).

Thank you mallman...confirmed working. And thanks to the OP
worked after adding those extra files, thanks!
Also, curious if we can have the ability to get 2 columns in the landscape, since Its a waste of space to have only 2-3 on one view, so its also an even amount (Same amount seen in portrait as landscape)
So it seems that some roms use StartMenuCust_xxxx to get the grid layouts but not all of them. I've rebuild the cab and included the duplicates. Give this a try and see if it installs and fixes the problem on the HD2's.

I've already been there and personally I didn't like it. You can edit the files yourself. They are pretty simple to work with. If you make them, feel free to PM me and I'll put them on the top of the page.
Vga pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
If there is enough demand I'll create them for a VGA device though I don't have one to test. I want to say someone else did already but when I searched I couldn't find it. I
