modifiying s100 ROM

as the title, I'd like to modify the ROM of the S00, I mean i'd like to take the original ROM and add some new software in it so that if i have some problemes with it later, i can reinstall with all my sofwatres and documents. How can i do that pliz ? I'm a newbie...pliz help me !!!

I don't think anything like rom kitchen has been done yet; so far i think the best we've got is big storage hack. I guess there may be some extensions of big storage/extended rom that would work, but I've not looked into it further.

No sorry, there is a sof or sthg for this. My BOSS told me that he saw someone doing this one day but he can't remember which soft it was with. The guy did that on a Qtek 2020. I'm looking for how to do it on a XDA II mini pliz ??

For the Qtek 2020 it's much simpler, as the "Storage" area can be made writable. But it's true, it can be done for the XDA mini also. The procedure was something along the following lines:
- dump the correct portion of your ROM to an SD card - which portion that is I can't remember right now
- copy it to your PC, using ntrw
- move it to a Linux PC, and mount this binary file as a FAT file system
- copy whatever you want into that file system
- copy the binary back to your Windows PC, back to your SD card, and flash it back to your mini's ROM.
This has been described in more detail elsewhere, in one of the threads dealing with BigStorage. You can find it using the Search function. I do not think there's an easier way than that at the moment. Qtek 2020 and XDA mini are just too different.

- dump the correct portion of your ROM to an SD card - which portion that is I can't remember right now
I didn't understand this line...I'm such a newbie so i'd like to have it step by step if possible pliz...and another question : Do you really have to move the binary files to linux ? I have only windows and I don' t like LINUX that much. Can you explain step by step pliz and what is the soft ntrw, gimme a link to download it by PM pliz, so nice thanks a lot !!
ps: and if you can tell how to it on a Qtek2020 it will be very nice too.

Like i said prashanth, it's not really userfriendly yet. It's best not to be a newbie and try something so involved; there's not really much reason to do so anyway. I find it most convenient to make a self installing backup of my working PPC, and Keep it on storage and/or storage card. That way, even if there's a hard reset, everything can be up and running within 3 minutes. However, installing all software from a hard reset, registering all software, sorting your startmenu, setting everything up etc - it's quicker just to backup and restore!

I'm not a newbie like you think. I mean in this field I am coz I have neevr operate. I worked for an HTC society for 2 weeks. It was a training. So I will understand if someone can be mroe precise. Thanks for your helps though. I really need to know (step by step if possible) how to add some files or soft ina ROM. Thx

2nd boot screen just a white screen

Hi,
Originally posted in the Universal forum, but no response. So am trying here in case anyone has had any similar issues.
After installing and then removing SMAATO news reader I have lost my windows mobile 2nd boot screen.
I know its called welcomehead.192.png and is located in Windows
The file is still there in ROM and I have also copied it across into Windows again (solution offered by searching through other threads). However when I soft reset after the Orange screen, all i get is a white screen.
Can anyone let me know how to restore, I believe other users have had issues with pss reader too.
Thanks in advance. (My device is the M5000)
Matt

Having the same "problem" from the same cause for the last 2 months.....got used to it though, since it does not affect functionality....

white screen
Sorry can't help but I have exactly the same problem due to the same cause on Prophet (SPV M600) so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have contacted SMAATO, so will let you know.
Other users have had same issue with PRSS Reader and for them, when they uninstalled the reader, their splash screen came back.
Matt

white screen
cheers - look forward to hearing. Wonder if it's coincidence that we're both uk orange? You'd think there would be a reg tweakt hat would point to the second screen to load.

SMAATO replied and said they are looking into it!!
I read from some people that installing PRSS Reader also causes this issue - but that uninstalling restores the boot screen. I tried this but it didnt restore my screen.....and the uninstaller didnt remove the PRSS app completely - resulting in more searching on the web to find out all of the files/reg keys to get rid of.
I do wonder to myself why I installed SMAATO/PRSS in the first place!!
Matt

Thanks for getting back - no doubt it will be hard reset which I dread!
Have you tried that? or doesn't even that help.
If there's any chance of you listing the files/reg entries to delete I'd appreciate that as I had same problem & simply searched ppc for anything with somaato in it, so I'm sure I've still lots of cr*p left on it.
cheers

Hard resetting does restore the boot screen, however restoring a backup will give you the same behaviour - unless that backup is from before SMAATO deinstallation

Hi,
In your post you mentioned about manual uninstall. I dont know about SMAATO that uninstalled OK, but for PRSSReader - to perform a manual uninstall:
1. Disable today plugin, if it is active
2. Delete registry keys:
HKCU\Software\DaProfik\pRSSreader
HKLM\Services\pRSSreader
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\pRSSreader
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\David Andrs pRSSreader
3. reboot the device
4. delete files:
\windows\AppMgr\David Andrs pRSSreader.dll
\windows\David Andrs pRSSreader.unload
\windows\zlib1.dll
\windows\libexpat.dll
\windows\prssrtoday.dll
\windows\prssrenc.dll
\windows\prssrsrv.dll
<installation path>\pRSSreader
Hope this helps.
Matt

Since I got some ActiveSync-problems, I tried cleaning out my device and finally found the cause of the white boot screen:
Older versions of pRSSreader install a zlib.dll to \Windows\ overwriting the built-in one. Now I just renamed that to zlib1.dll (couldn't delete, because it was in use) and on my next reboot: voilà - there was the 2nd boot screen again!!
Newer versions of pRSSreader install the file as zlib1.dll.
Cheers,

Nice one mbirth you're a star - worked no problem!
Just curious - Do you know what zlib is? and is it safe to delete it now it's renamed and soft reset?
Thanks once again
P.S. I now have zlib.dll; zlib1.dll; AND zlibce.dll !

I can also confirm that it works brilliantly!!
With regards to getting rid of the old file - I renamed zlib.dll to zlib1.dll. After my device booted correctly I moved the zlib1.dll to my storage card and all is still ok. If you have something like total commander, after showing ROM files the zlib file is listed in the windows directory. If you hide them - then you shouldnt see any zlib.dll files - unless another application has installed them, but a clean device will only have the zlib.dll in ROM
Hope this helps.

zlib = gzip-compression-library. See Wikipedia. I guess the deflate-algorithm used for PNG files was faulty or missing in the pRSS-version of zlib. With deleting that file, you have the original built-in version back active.
If you already have the newer version of pRSSreader, you might want to rename the file to something different than zlib1.dll since pRSSreader 1.3 already installs a zlib1.dll.
After a soft-reset, you can safely delete the renamed file.

Having you tried browsing your device with your PC and delete from there...also use something like phm task to see if there are any hidden tasks running related to it..also ensure your registry is cleared of it....If I were you I would make a HR my last resort....thats my 2 cents worth. GOOD LUCK.

I think this is what you're referring to: disabling the security warning when installing cabs?
Open DiamondTweak and scroll down to 10.1: Security. Change the Not-certified Warning thing in 10.1 to "Disabled (Advised)".
If you don't have DiamondTweak, just do a search for it and install it. Great program to have!

First, I'll post some information that'll help you understand the situation: see this post, and then read several below it.
Then, after doing that, install the attached cab, and it should take care of it for you .

App or Technique to install multiple cabs?

I am finding myself currently trying different roms lately and each time I have to re install all my cabs...I was wondering if there is an app which can install multiple .cab files ? Or is there some kind of technique I am missing ?
If the above is not possible, is there a way to install a group of .cab files with the new rom installation ? (would that be the auto installer thing I have read about ?)....
If there is no such way to do this, maybe we can work together on something of the like...
please advise

i was going to ask the same question can someone help. i know that for the Android phones there a program that intalls the apk that you want.

check out sashimi. it has a auto mode to install multiple cabs, though i haven't had much success with installing to the storage card. it also has many other features.
there is also UC, i believe. I haven't tried it.
i would be very interested in to know about other alternatives, as well.

I tried the 'vip' thing but it seemed like it worked half way...I also think the one I downloaded was just someone elses which they already setup for themself and left a few of their files in because there were files for 'cingular' and another phone in there as well...
I could only find 3 links related to that vip thing I am talking about and one had the download link the others were just discussions...

Well it depends on what rom you are downloading, if you are going with NRG for example he uses XDA_UC. Basically you create a folder on your sdcard called XDA_UC, place your cabs in that folder and when booting after a fresh flash they will auto install for you. Very easy to do

sashimi. search for sashimi demo on youtube.
