[Help] Rom Kitchen, CAB install?

I am making an excellent rom for the Uni, i have integrated all i need but is there a way not to integrate it and have a cab install, like the auto customization after first boot...
that screen just installs cab files right? how do i set the rom to run cab files off the EXT_Rom automatically?
thanks

better yet, can i use the initflashfiles.txt to put files other then in \windows\...
i want to have a program installed by default but i want all the program files to be places in \Program Files\
Instead of \windows\

I will reply in a few minutes after i have banged my head against the wall a few times.

"why spend time learning when ignorance is instantanious?"
It defeats the object of having them in the ROM
as soon as you use initflashfiles to move a file it takes up room in the storage memory. make the lnk's link to the /windows/ dir instead

If you just cut straight to the last paragraph in the post above , he is right.
You are best trying to keep everything in \windows to prevent duplication of files as it copies rather than moves them over.

My fault i should have been more clear
I cant use the EXT-ROM as this program requires user input, so forget that idea.
now i have gotten the program to sit inside the \windows\ folder correctly but now i need 1 last step, i need to have a folder w/files inside transfered as well. Its a theme folder!
Example OEM folder:
program.exe
\Themes\
It copies the program and i use initflashfiles.txt to make a menu shortcut works fine ,but when building the ROM it freezes on the Theme folder. Ok so you cant have a folders w/subdir and files.
Now what should i do? i made OEM folder have all files inside but i need the themes folder to be XFER'd to \Windows\Themes\

or is there a solid command or a config file i can write to make adjustments to create/copy/move files and folders?

you know i have seen you react like this a few times on the forum, stop being so damn annoying to everyone here, really STOP. i asked a question and revised it as it was written bad, but EVEN as that you should learn how to talk to people.
do you have anything positive to bring to this thread ? if not just move along!

Easy guys, easy.... tempers often fray, it's not worth taking things personally

With my wisbar advance, i've got the theme on my sd card and I put the config.ini file with the settings in the oem. Hence WA in \windows, theme on sd card.
You cannot move things from rom to another directory, only copy them.

erm, i awnsered your question if you read my post, dumbass.

no really i saw it...
i am just telling you i don't care for you attitude that you dish out and to others as well. you could try being nicer...
ever do a search on your post and read how arrogant you are? you should try it. If thats your example of helping someone... you need to rethink things.
To be honest i was hoping someone of your caliber would come here and offer help, but that doesn't mean you get to talk to people as you like because you ..." Know More "
Its expected that you know more when we post "[Help]" in the title. That's correct we EXPECT someone with more knowledge to help, not abuse people.
Thanks.... NO really thanks for the help

I think grayme or MIDGET are more than nice, because it looks like U've never been working on ROM at first, at second YOU DIDNT use search button(that fuc.. button 9th on top) Im not a god like midged or helmi, but at least before u post something like this, try to read.Why mess this forum

I did search for the how to copy a folder w/files using the initflashfiles.txt as was not able to find any information, hence the post.
Helmi has nothing to do with this so don't throw his name around. And midget has run to this issue with a few users on this forum lately. Yea i read those too.
And i don't care if he can breathe underwater, fact is just because you answer somebody doesnt mean you get to talk to people like trash.

gotcha ya, i was hoping for a way around this as the only other issue i have is a *.rgu file which set a string in the CURRENT_USER area but for some reason it fails to build on that specific RGU which is the registration for wisbar.
besides that everything is working smooth
here is a preview of the default look which i helped a great skinning artist (Dingo) make into a great wisbar skin, the new version has sounds that are awesome
here is a preview,

Just FYI, MOST of my posts are helpful and 'nice'
I dont have to be here answering your q's so im sorry, but you have to expect an answer that reflects the mood im in atm... if you dont like it i wont answer your q's next time. it's nothing personal!

try 2 read 1st helmi kitchen wm6 post, there is explained ho 2 use initflashes if U use his kitchen if U use another try 2 read apropriate howtos. BTW dont use initflashes.dat if u can bypas it(it makes a copy from ROM to Storage - so there are files ocupiing both space in ROM and in Storage - redundant) btw there is package for wisbar for helmis kitchen

This is the point that, until I made a kitchen ROM, I wasn't aware of; did I (and 1wayjonny and others) miss it?
Ranting and raving at people that don't know what you do is not moving things forward, this isn't a simple, 'how I instal ROM?' (sic) question...

Song Recognition

Hi,
my brother in law recently got a sony 850i, this phone has the ability to tell you the name of a track and artist that you play into its mic. it does a search against an online database and then returns you infomation about the song (presumably with options to buy the ring tone...)
it works in a similar way to shazam, but it's free (not 50pence per tack like shazam!)
does any one know of ANY windows, or windows mobile software than can do this kind of audio fingerprint and search features? I would love to be able to tag music from the radio with my PPC whilst im out and about!

yeah I would be interested tooo

I have found what i assume is the correct application you are talking about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305897
and have downloaded the app.
installing the app on my spare hermes broke te programs menu!!! had to hard reset it! (thank god i put it on my spare not my main unit
extracted the files with CabWUZ and found the musicID executable, put that onto both my spare and my main hermes and when i run it, it loads the splash screen followed by the main screen and then promptly crashses locking the phone up completly.
have you had this application working? can you offer any advice?
am i useing the same Cingular app you were talkking about?
I've PM'd you my email could you still send me your working cingular app?
MANY thanks!

IT WORKS!
put the exe on the SD card and it runs.. successfully tagged gwen steffani (on the radio at the time honest!!!!)
so how is the billing SUPPOSED to work on this... can't see how they can charge me, but i dont want the app to stop working next week...
i can post just the musicID app if anyone wants it!

never mind my pm
glad to hear that it work
i must admit that i have not tried it for a week but it should not stop working...
were you able to locate the reg entries..
just remove them
that should help
keep us updated
P.S
just for added secruity i hope you are not on at&t and if you are really paranoid then try removing your sim card and see if it still works (should work)

Found the Registry settings which holds the Data about the trial!
HKLM\software\MusicID
so far a delete of this resets the trial period to 3 days!
what more as your privously tagged data is stored a dir on the root of the device under \app data\musicID
this data is left alone and so you can see what previous songs you have tagged!!!
i'll start working on a script to automate the process of editing the registry now....

can someone post the exe thanks

Here you go
MusicID - PPC executable
extract the zip file, you will find the native PPC application.
dump to phone (i found it more stable on SD card) and run.
(trial reset key to come, when i work out mortscript...)

thanks again

i feel that this question is dumb but need to confirm does it have to go to the internet with a media net plan or can it work with having any internet connection?

never mind got it to work. good luck with the script

P.S just in case you did not notice there is a new real player in that cab (in case you need to stream or play rm file)

Right... SO....

Step 1)
extract the attached file onto the PC.
Step 2)
Make DIR on SD card

Step 3)
MusicID.exe in that dir.
Step 4)
Put musicID.mscr into My Docs Dir (can go anywhere, but this is as good as any)
Step 5) Optional!!
Use GSFinder+ or equivilent file explorer to make shortcut to musicID.mscr file. place this shortcut in
\windows\start menu\programs
(if you want it in your programs list)
Step 6)
Install the mortScript-4.0-PPC.cab file.
Step 7)
Run MusicID.mscr and MusicID should run, each time deleting off the registry keys that contain trial infomation...
let me know if you ahve any problems and if anyone knows how to script better than me, let me know what mistakes i made with my script!

I extracted it, and even tried the separately posted MusicID.exe, however when I click on it in Resco File Explorer, nothing happens? I'm running WM2003SE.

Sorry i'm afraid i can't help, this has only been tested on WM05 and WM06

Hey all,
I thing UC is great, but I have gotten to prefer the Tiered Autoinstaller that allows me to pick and choose my CABs to install.
I have taken Tiermann's cool app and packaged it for a non-cooked in audience. Add it to your favorite ROMs to quickly pick and choose all your CABs to install.
Find out more about it and grab it here

OK so THIS is a big step forward for the crazy flasher that lies in us.
Time saving, simple, perfect.
Very convenient to use (especially because I already have my CAB collection on my storage card in a folder named CAB...)
Thanks

Choice between Device and SD Card
Hello Bengalih,
is it possible that when i use the TierAutomatic Installer that i have the choise between the Telefon Memory or the Storage Card where the Programm has to be installed ?
I like to install the most of my Programms to the storage card to keep the Memory of the Phone free for the running Programms.
Or doesn´t this make sense ?
Greetings from germany
Jürgen

oooh great!

Awesome THANK YOU!
but 1 question/request
I have my cab directory sorted by different directories, is there a way to checkbox an entire directory? instead of adding each cab in config.sys?
i have directories like
\Storage Card\Games
\Storage Card\Tweaking
\Storage Card\System Tools
\Storage Card\Multimedia
etc. so it would be awesome to just check the entire directory to save overview

Awesome work dude - been looking for an installer like this that runs perfectly on non-UC compliant ROMs! This works flawlessly - thanks!!!!

Is it also possible to install the cabs on the storage card? i dont want my games on my device but on my storage card...

change the default installation directory to your storage card using WinCE cab manager.

The Tiered Auto Installer works by using a built-in copy of Autorun. Since Autorun doesn't allow any user interaction, it is not possible to "choose" what location you want to install.
However, you can use a CAB editor tool to open up your .CAB, and change the default installation directory to "\Storage Card".
WinCE CAB Manager can do it with the trial version.

Thx for the answer
Thx for the answer. I will try the WinCE cab manager

Yes you can do this...with a little elbow grease:
From the TAutoInstall page...
It will find all cab files referenced in the config.txt as well as those found in \Windows, \Storage Card\Boot, \Storage Card, \Extended_ROM, and \Extended_ROM2.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that the config.txt should be located in the same directory as TAutoInstall, which in my package is \Windows. I have found that if TAutoInstall is installed in another location with a space in the name (e.g. \Storage Card or \Program Files) that it won't function properly).
In addition the following quote:
Note: The default search directories can be overridden by a command line.
TAutoinstall.exe "\SomePath\folder1" "\SomeOtherPath\Folder2"
You can have up to 10 search paths.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In fact, this is the magic of how my packager is working. I have created a shortcut to run TAutoInstall with specific search directories, in this case \Storage Card\Cabs.
NOTE: When you specify directories on the command line it no longer checks the default directories listed above, but it will still check the config.txt file.
Unfortunately it doesn't check recursively, but you can have up to 10 paths. So, to do what you ask you will need to edit my .lnk file:
You need to open the .lnk file in a text editor.
You can copy the \Program Files\TAInstall\TAInstall.lnk to your PC via activesync.
Open it in WORDPAD, not NOTEPAD as it doesn't save them properly.
You will see my syntax:
47#"\Windows\TAutoinstall.exe" "Storage Card\Cabs"
Note the format, specifically the quotes and the number at the beginning. The number is the number of characters in the string minus anything before and including the #. So in the above link there are 50 characters minus 3 (47#). You can modify the shortcut for up to 10 paths, like so:
122#"\Windows\TAutoinstall.exe" "Storage Card\Cabs" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub1" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub2" "Storage Card\Cabs\Sub3"
Note that I updated the number to reflect the number of characters in the string minus 4 (122#).
I have not tested it with more than one path, but it should work. I also don't know if there are any limitations as to the maximum length of a shortcut, perhaps a developer would know.
Once you've edited it, copy TAInstall.lnk back to \Program Files\TAInstall\ and you should be good to go. If you have a problem, make sure that the shortcut is being save properly by your text editor. Remove everything you added and re-save and see if the .lnk file still works. If not, then you're text editor probably mangled it.
I would then make a backup copy of the lnk so you won't need to do it all over again.

simple 3-row Mortscript
another "solution" without UC could be a simple mortscript in the cab-directory:
It's not "unattended", but it will do the the job...and you can select the install directory....
ForEach CAB in files (Systempath("ScriptPath")&"\*.cab")
RunWait (%CAB%)
EndForEach

Peter, could you be a bit more step by step with that, maybe putting it into a code box?
I get it, I can read it, I don't know what a "mort-script" in the "cab-directory" would look like (text file?) and where exactly it would go.
Thanks for this thread, guys!

just create a text file on your desktop computer and save it with the .mscr file-extension.
then copy this file including the mortscript.exe to your "cab" directory on your mobile machine. that's it
the "cab directory" is just the directory where you save these two files and all your cabs....
but as i said - this script will just call all setups, all necessary informations are manually - it's just like you click each
cab file seperately in file explorer...
attached you'll find my installer (sorry, the language is in german (NO, i'm NOT german, i'm from South-Liechtenstein )
and it'll write a registry key how many times you've started this script....the first time there is no message, if you run this
script more than once, there is a counter and it will remind you how many times you've started this script... (yeah, i like such things....)
i like the fact that i absolutely know what this script is doing, i can easily choose between storage and memory and if i want to
cancel a setup it's no problem
edit: english script (including mortscript exe is uploaded...hope that helps)

Thanks Peter!! That should really help.
UC is good, but there are so many differences between ROMs that you're always editing the text file and thus prone to making it error out. Not to mention, the Lock/Unlock BS.

I've been using Tier Autoinstall in my ROMs for awhile. Even have a cab for non-cooked installation that puts a shortcut in the same place you do?!? funny how great minds think alike . I'll update this post to put in the link to the wiki about it (once the wiki is back up).

Hey welcome back _Alex_, I thought you were movin' on.
Yes, I actually discovered the Tiered AutoInstall first in your ROM I believe. I know you have a stand-alone UC (which I link on the front page), but never saw a stand-alone Tiered from you.
Although I like the check-box effect to install cabs, the current version of Tiered AutoInstaller (and thus my stand-alone version) is a little too limited for all but automated installs.
If you guys like, please check out my new VIP+bengalih RAW AutoInstaller. Fully MortScript based with quite a few more features!

[UPDATE:july 25 2008] Wizard Camera Update!!! COMPLETED

Hello.
I have managed to hack the camera for our wizards; and change those ugly graphics using ResHacker.
now it does not look like it came out of the last milenium.
So I am posting it here for the chefs to cook with.
All you have to do (should you chose to) is replace the Camera.exe with the new one.
Or other users can just drop it into the Windows folder.
here it is
Update to camera 3.3 fixes some grapfic details for transparancies

Great
Thanks for all your passion

Thanks,I will try it

wow! 149 downloads! cool.

niceee
trying right now!

its vere good itry now

it works on our wizard tnx

great work as always .... thanks for the share

seemless...well done brotha...

With the normal camera application you can choose where to save new pictures but you only have 2 options. Normaly you can choose between main-memory and memorycard. If you unhide the Ext-ROM you can only choose between main-memory and Ext-ROM but not memorycard anymore. Is this Problem already fixed or can you fix it? Thank you!

The extended rom is useless in all senarios. iven if you unlock it you can only copy files from it.. but not copy to.
The camera will not write to extended rom.

That's not the Problem! I don't want the camera to save pictures to the Ext-ROM. I just can't choose "Speicherkarte" as target if Ext-ROM is visible. You may say: Don't unhide Ext-ROM.
Three problems:
1. I still want to have access to my documents in Ext-ROM!
2. I have the same problem if I use network-folders. "Netzlaufwerk" comes for "Speicherkarte" and if a network-folder is maped I cannot choose "Speicherkarte" (memory-card) as target to save the pictures.
3. BT-Browser adds an extra external memory just like the network-folder. Again no "Speicherkarte" in the list of possible targets. You can only choose between main-memory and bt-folder.
Is it possible to expand the list to more than 2 entries?

I suppose if you can add the shortcuts in registry. the camera app is just the original app. I changed nothing in it other then the icons. in fact I did not have access to see any coding. All I saw were the reasourses (files embeded into it) and changed the graphics. it is still the same app that came with the rom (well at least my rom)
if you could do that with your original rom, then that should be in the registry settings.. unless these options were hard coded into the camera.exe itself.
if.that is the case, and those options were harcoded into the camera.exe; I would like to have that exe. If you want to share that with me you would have to do a hard reset, and copy the exe and send it to me. I can modify the graphics and repost the exe back on this forum.
otherwise, I would have to give the answer "I dont know" or "I dont understand".

close to a thousand downloads.
has anyone noticed anything that does not fit?

It looks great...I will add this to the Roms I will release! Nice job!
Yesterday during some cooking I needed some extra space in the Rom so I checked what .exe files were rather large and were able to get compressed (with UPX 1.38 GUI).
I reduced the size of the Camera.exe from +/- 600KB to nearly 300KB and it works just as good (stable and fast).
See the attached file (maybe add it to the 1st post in this thread...?).

thanx. I have been using UPX4PPC to compress programs. most of the times, when the dll or the exe has images embeded into it the program will not work as it should. one example is the MMSRES dll that covers most of the icons like the photo and video icons in the standard pictures explorer.
That is why I did not compress it. Thank you for trying that. The camera package (uncompressed is anout 5mb with the dlls) and that should help with my cooking.

Windows Shell Ext. For Apk's?

Looking for a simple small windows program that will simply show correct icons for .apk's on my PC
I set a default .ico for all my apk's but something showing the correct .ico for apk's would be great.
Is there one available?
Thanks to anyone replying.

There's got to be something??? anyone?
I remember when I played around with a Nintendo DS I found some type of shell extension that would show .nds games icons...
Was really hoping this was out there for .apk's

Really....no one can answer me on this subject....ugh
Either its a dumbass question and the asnwer is so simple anyone reading it just pass's it up, or noone is understanding my subject...OR theres nothing out for pc to do this...maybe i should make something?
Anything guys...**** give me an answer....even a "hey ceaser shut the **** up" would be somthing
Im talking to myself in this thread

Not anymore, i might have a solution for you
first get the image you want to use as an icon and resize it to be EXACTLY 256x256 and in .ico format
then click run in start menu and type regedit
allow UAC if needed
make backup of registry
if you want to just change the icon to know what it is, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk
if it isnt there, right click on the folder and create new key called .apk
check if the (default) entry is blank, if so, then create a new key in the same place as .apk and call it something.Assoc.APK (not tested)
in the new key, create a key called DefaultIcon, and in that create a REG_EXPAND_SZ and put the full path in quotes of the .ico file
tell me if it doesnt work and include screenshots

Thanks for the reply...whats I actually ended up doing is making an .ico of a droid and basically setting the file extension within windows to use that ico with any apk...thanks for the info above though
