New WM6 ROM kitchen (from Ranju)

Hello Friends,
I have managed the new WM6 kitchen based on Ivan's new (17913.0.3.0) build. This is a clean vanilla kitchen, you can add your own flavor and the way you want it.
I've uploaded the kitchen to the following url and hope that you will like it.
http://www.siemens-bd.net/files/000000
Files have been splited into 10 parts (5MB each) because of my unstable internet connection here. Uploading a 50MB file for me is simply a nightmare! Please download all of them and unrar.
You will find two cmd files (1. BuildKitchen.cmd and 2. CreateROM.cmd) inside the ROM_DEV folder after the unrar.
Step-1: Run the BuildKitchen.cmd (first time only), it will dump the rom and prepare the kitchen for you.
[Additionally, you may use it to dump other WM6 rom and prepare the kitchen. In that case, decode the rom, copy (or overwrite) the nk.nba file to the ROM folder and run this cmd to build the kitchen.]
Step-2: Run the CreateROM.cmd to build the rom...as usual.
You will find a Ranju_OEM folder under the ROM_DEV folder. Some of the oem packages have been added if anyone is interested to use. Just copy your desired packages to the OEM folder and build the rom.
And finally, all credit goes to Ivan. Special thanx to Helmi, Midget, Bepe and Tuatara for their tools and support.
By the way, I've a limited bandwidth to this server, it will be great if someone mirror it somewhere.
Best regards,
Ranju

Thx for the new kitchen. Based on V3, correct?
Could you please clarify the 1st post?
Clean Vanilla: What did you remove from the ROM?
Cheers

BuildOS stops on error: the file 'temp\dump\Thumbs.db' already exists

I've just checked the OEM folder.
Very good Job: just like i was thinking. Probably I don't need any other apps for OEM.
THX!!!

Did you modify any cmd file?
If not, then delete the temp folder. Do a search on SYS & OEM for "Thumbs.db" and delete them if found any. Run the CreateROM.cmd.
I suppose "Thumbs.db" have been created by your picture browser apps.

"Thumbs.db" is a file that Windows XP (and Vista) create if you preview a picture or movie. Its not important at all (although Windows will complain that it is a "System File")
(Nifty fact: Windows XP can create the "thumbs.db" file in a read-only network share!)

Thanks for the info, i'll try deleting and recompile.
Deleted, compiled and flashed: every essential function i tested is working. The kitchen is very clean! Many thanks ranju!

Little update of the kitchen
This is a little update of the kitchen:
* Due to the slow response of the phone, dialing/ending tone have been removed
* Update for HTC Task Manager 1.5 (Exclusive apps can be added now)
Please download the zip and copy/replace to the associated folder.
Update: HTC Task Manager cab attached.

Can you please make a cab of it so that we can install. Dont want to go through re in stalling rom. Appreciate
Or if you can advice the registry entries for both above issues please.

Phone.cab
A cab file for the file in phone.zip is not that difficult since it's just a couple of registry entries.
The other one is more difficult since it also includes files.
So just to help a little, a cab file for the registry stuff in the phone.zip

Actually not that difficult
When comparing the old and new files, I noticed that just the RGU file is different.
Since this is the file with registry settings, I made a quick cab for it.
So not to replace the previous HTC Manager install or anything like that, just to corrent the registry entries.
ps. This and the previous file are not made/reviewed/anything by Ranju, but I've just given them him (her?) name to avoid confusion.

Set the value of "Script" to "apr" and it should like this. It will remove 3s ring delay.

Press the power button (off) after the changes and wait for 10 sec, switch on again and soft reset your device to take the changes in action...

Mmmm. Removing items from the registry.... Didn't think about that one. So that means that the 2 cabinet files I made will not work.
Back to the drawingboard...

Build my first Rom
I've this ROM kitchen few days back from one of my friends and was simply amazed when I build my first rom.
This is as easy!
Thanks ranju, keep up good work!

Add file to WM programs list

I have a exe file on my Touch HD which is an application. It wasn't installed on my device, it was simply copied from my computer. To access the application, I currently have to go into file explorer and select the exe file.
I would like to be able to access the application from Start/Programs. Is there any way that I can make a link to my file appear in the programs list? Perhaps a new registry entry??
Thanks

Move the exe file to your programs folder manually
Edit: Sorry I just thought actually that I don't know if this will work for your device (Touch HD with WM 6.1) but it works for me with my device and my ROM.

on my Nike with 6.0 i do it by copying the exe file and paste shortcut to Start Menu/Programs

Actually you are not making a shortcut, you are copying the whole exe to the programs folder. You should actually cut and paste that way you are not having the program exe twice on your device - Save space on your internal memory.

it's .lnk file and has less than 1 KB. But thanks in advice

Where are the files ?

Hi guys, I have this ambition to change the symbols in call history with ones that are colored.
I know that for this some Manila files should be changed, but I don't know where to start the search and what exactly to look for, so any advises would be more than appreciated. thanks

Hi there, files you're looking for are into windows directory, unfortunatly are marked as "read only" and the easiest way to replace them using Resco Explorer. Althought you can find .cab file here here.
Installing this you can keep original files into backup folder end restore when needed.
Bye

The cab is also on XDA forum but it replace the icons on phone menu not in the history...so I assume that the file for history is another one...this file I'm looking for but don't know how to find it...

You have to find and change some graphic file in windows directory. I'm using dutty's R5 so can't help you better.

Those files are located in phcanOverbmp.dll

I'm sure, but you need Unsigner.exe and ResHacker to replace/extract those files.

Ok, I found the dll and the resource files inside but I believe that this is for WM phone call history not the Manilla call history right...?

I found the files (Manila files) who is interested in replace them look for :

Where does Resco File Explorer store its serial/license number

As I flash my HD2 weekly (sometimes more frequently ) I try to adapt my program cabs with my settings and my registration info. This way I don't have to adjust my program settings and registrationinfo manualy. This saves a lot of time when flashing a new rom.
For most programs this is working perfect but for the resco program's I can't find the registration info in the register. Does anyone know where Resco File Explorer stores its serial/license number?

you could try kheb, maybe it'll help

Thanks, I will try it.

Hi. Just have a look into your registry (use CeRegEditor or sth.). Have a look there for HKCU/Software/Resco, or HKLM/Software/Resco - somewhere you'll find the entry that saves your reg-info. I found it for every program that I bought and use (and these are quite a lot). If you won't find it within the registry, then you will have to backup your whole program-folder as it can also contain registration-info.

Hi.
Resco Serials are stored in a file. Go in Windows Dir and copy the File wmtrigger.dat. After you flash new Rom you must install Resco Programs and then copy the file into the Windows dir. Now your Programs are registered. Make it all the time with Sashimi and everything works fine
Mfg Uro

most keys are stored in the registry dude... what i do to avoid re-registering all my apps and games... i use the registry editor plugin by resco, search the registry for all the serials after i entered them, then copy the key to the storage card.... transfer the key to my desktop, then import the key to the cab using WinCE cab manager... this way you wont have to manually restore the keys all over again... i save myself this trouble bcos i have over 30 apps and games
i also did this with resco file man...

Hi,
Thanks this is working. It works for all the resco programs which are using the owner info of the device. Essential is also to put the owners name in your device. I've made a cab with the wmtrigger.dat + the owner info and this is working perfect now.
Thanks again for the info.

Possible to download files on device?

Is it possible to download files (RAR) on the device using internet and transfer it later to the PC? I don't think its possible in stock ROM but perhaps an App or something.
My device is Dev+Interop unlocked.

if you find where ie9 stores temporary downloaded file, like pdf, mp4 ecc ecc, i can tell you how to complete the download, and, once completed, tranfer the file to the pc...

It's very possible (download any file that fits to handset's isolated storage file from your homebrew app, and transfer that file to PC using ISETool.exe) but why not use cloud file storage such as SkyDrive, DropBox etc.? If you have no experience with DropBox, click on link in my signature; it's very simple and useful

I think I can find it. Will I be able to save files like RAR too?

Yes it is possible to download files. I do it with ultrashot's Opera Mobile port which allows you to select the location of the downloaded files and transfer it using Gooddaytodie's Webserver

Opera Mobile requires full-unlock, so that's not an option for the OP.
Downloaded files typically go to \Application Data\Volatile\<SUBFOLDER> where <SUBFOLDER> depends on where and how they were downloaded (IE, email attachment, etc.).
If you look at the source for my XapHandler app, you'll see how an app can register a filetype. You'd need to do this, or the phone will simply refuse to download extensions that it doesn't recognize (hmm... I wonder if a .* handler would work?)

If Opera Mobile can do, then perhaps some other browser can do that too? Metro internet explorer doesn't work

All the browsers that are based on the IE engine will be unable to do it until the necessary registry keys in HKCR are created. An app can manually download from a URI and save the resulting file, but in the WebBrowserControl if the user clicks a link to a file the handling for what to do with the file is the same as on IE.

No. And nobody here not even meant marketplace. Interop-unlock + homebrew only.
BTW, could you share with us your scenario: why do you need to download rar archive to the phone and transfer to the PC? I still can't achieve why do you need things like this.

well the thing is, sometimes I need to download files which may take a while to download completely. So, I can download on the go with the cellular data and then transfer to PC when home. Sometimes the file download is completed in the time same as reaching from work to home.

ok, i'll solve the mistere the only thing u need to do is to add a reg key in hkcr , it will be called .rar for rar files etc...then insisde it u create a string that names Default, the value is rarfile
u go back to hkcr, and create a key that is called rarfile, inside it u will create a dword named EditFlags and with the value of 65536
that's all, now you need to know where ie9 stores data...

I don't know if it'll work or not but can you guide the how-to. I can edit the reg-edit using MFG. It has following options:
Root Path
Sub Path
Input key and type
Input data
Just confirming as incorrect reg edit can render unstable.

Oh, I see... Seems like India still have a "last mile" problem and your cell connection is more reliable and faster than home internet. For countries with fast broadband home internet connection this "feature" just have no sense.
