OEM Package making question

I have a cab with the following extentions
_setup.xml
JETBTC~1.001
JETBTH~1.000
JetBTHFix.002
JetBTHFix.999
I added the .dsm & .rgu files
I edited the _setup.xml file to redirect the Shortcut to a different folder.
Is that all I need to do?
Will it work puting it into an OEM folder now?
Can I remake it back into a cab file? (How do I make a cab file)
Thank you

You can't open a cab with a simple unzip program (which appears what you have done). You have to use a program that can pull a cab apart. In HyperCore there is a free utility that will do this (sorry, not on my computer with a kitchen so I don't remember what its called, but its in the tools and/or panel area of HyperCore). You can use Cabwuz (demo version) to see what I mean also.

MSCEinf
Its a tool called MSCEInf.exe, Windows CE CAB Analyser. It opens up Windows Mobile .CAB files and creates the original files and installation options (registry changes, shortcut creation etc).

Ok I got the program up and running, but not sure how to use it. There seems to be no help files.
Anyone know how to use this. Can you give me a quick run though.

All that MSCEInf.exe does is extract the original files and settings from the .CAB file. What you should do is extract the files to a folder, then if the XML button is available click it and then look at the Registry Keys and Shortcuts tabs to see what shortcuts you need to create and what settings you need to add to the .RGU file. If the XML button isn't available then click the 'RTF Document' tab, this contains all the settings but is a bit harder to cut-&-paste from.
It is probably a good idea to look at on existing OEM package to see what files are included, what the shortcuts look like and what the .RGU file looks like.

Little more help.
Ok need a little help still.
This is what I have done.
1) created a folder with in the OEM folder called JETBT
2) Opened Msceinf
3) Loaded my cab file
4) Changed "Use Folder Name" to NO
5) Pressed "Extract Cab files with original names to a folder"
6) Extracted them to the JETBT folder I credated.
Now this is where I am at.
I have the following 5 files.
_setup.xml
BT HFP Extension 1.31.inf
JetBTConfig.exe
JetBTHFx.999
JetBTHFx.dll
I know I need to create a .dsm and .rgu file
the .rgu file is where I add reg entries
I also know I need to make a inirflashfile.dat
which is where I have it move the .ink file.
First how do I make a .ink file.
Then is this all I need to do?
Does the OEM folder us the info inside _setup.xml ?
If it does can I simply edit that file. Inside I see where it makes and moves the .ink file
And where it adds the reg info.
I could simply just add the info into that file.
and then create empty .dsm and .rgu files.
So what do I need to do? Am I missing any steps.
there are other cabs I need to edit aswell.
Thanks for your help.

? Anyone? PLEASE

Which kitchen to use??

Hi guys,
I wanted to start cooking my own ROM and was wondering which kitchens are available that i can use. The only ones i know of are:
1) Hypercore kitchen by anichillus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324682)
2) Beasty and Leo's Kitchen (only saw the snapshot in one of their posts, dont know where i can get it from)
What other options do i have when it comes to ROM Kitchens? And what exactly are the pro's and con's associated with each of the kitchens you mention!
A quick reference to some tutorials and how-to's would be awesome too I've already got some reading material but, the more the better!
I'd really appreciate any help i can get.
Thanks!!!

unpack
1. extracts nbf file
2. extracts nb file content
3. creates packages ...
4. extracts xip.bin and xip contents to folders near sys and oem
5.. system metafiles ( old reg ... initflash files .. and others ) place near sys as meta folder
6. all rgu files from packages hey copy near sys and oem folder as reg folder .. with mark of priority while assembling
after all
sys folder
oem folder
xip folder
xip extended folder with xip.bin and other xip related extracted stuff
reg folder with rgus
meta folder
pack.bat
1. promt .. what rgus use for assembling .. placed in packages or placed in reg folder
2. creating dump folder
3. calculate rom space .. if they exeed standart process brakes

Do your Pack.bat and Unpack.bat files work for ANY NBF files or only for the kitchen you use?? If they work for all NBF files, is there any chance you could provide me with those batch files?

1. any nbf file placed in source folder may be unppacked
2. its not only bat files .. primary its a complex of unreleased progs
3.. no chance .. becose this kithen i made with cooperation with 1 mad programer .. who not like freeware licence

How to make a CAB ?

Hello,
I dumped the factory ROM of my Kaiser (part00.raw, part01.raw... ).
I would want to extract from it some applications that are useful for me, and reinstall them on my new ROM (Schap 4.31).
So, is there a tutorial about a method to do CAB file ?
I don't want to use ROM cooking for now.
Sorry of my questions, I'm a novice !
;-)
Thanks in advance.

What you have is simply raw data. The eaiser thing to do wold have been to pull the cabs out of windows FIRST, then just install them. If you want to make cabs out of the OEM's just using raw data, I hope you have a lot of time on your hands, particularly if you've never done this.
The first step for constructing cabs out of OEM raw data is to reconstruct the rom. I suggest starting with this excelent guide by jcespi2005. SEE HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
Once you've recontructed the data you'll need to pull out all the OEM data including the .rgu & .dsm files. You'll then need to create an initiaflash file with the location references for the contents of the program.
Once you've done all that you can think about making the OEM into a cab.
It' much easier (if the proggies your looking for were part of cutomization & were originally cab files) to find the cab or ask people with that original rom to post the cab.
If they did indeed start as cab files you can find them in windows already as cabs. If you're trying to cook your own rom & want the programs as an OEM package or if they were already an OEM package, you'll need to reconstruct, extract, & then compile for a cab.
If you tell me what proggie you want I can most likely point you to it as a cab already.

Visual Studio has a template for it.

Cabbing Packages and Reg Files

Hey,
I want to cab packages and reg files so they can install.Is there a way to do this.Im trying to make addons pack for lite versions of roms and make some kind of salad bar for users to choose from when they flash a rom.Im doing this in conjunction with an addins installer made for extended roms but tweaking it to read cabs from microdrive/storage card.Any help and tips appreciated.

Have a look at Wince Cab Manager; it can do what you're looking for and a lot more.

it's kinda wa I need but does'nt do much for oem packages.Any more suggestions?

If you want for OEMs, get a program on here called Cabs2oem or simply use the tool from _Alex_'s kitchen.

I went on the wiki to get alex's rom kitchen, which tool converts oems to cabs, I've seen a cab extractor to oem tho?
thanks for your help.

It's called "packages creator 5.4."
