Official Kitchen Pantry Thread

A great idea was brought to my attention by DaKender and rather than wait on a poll to fill in, I thought I'd just go ahead and start it.
This thread is only for the request and posting of working packages for kitchens. A great place to learn how to make packages is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303195
Kitchen authors, please PM me with posts that can be moved into this thread so you can keep your kitchen threads cleaner and answer tech questions.
If you are posting a package:
1) Packages may only consist of free software or software embedded in a factory ROM.
2) Package(s) must work and have been used by the poster in cooking a ROM. Please state the kitchen you used.
3) Uploads must be named according to contents (i.e. Compressed_Office_2007_for_318_build.zip).
4) You must state the contents of the package in your post. Not every little thing but enough for a person to make an informed decision to use the package or not. Packages do not have to include an option.xml file. However, they must include an initfileflashes.dat as well as .rgu and .dsm files.
5) If your package is too big, please use the uploads/Wizard section of the FTP to post and post the link.
If you are posting a request:
1) Click on the paperclip icon on the main forum page next to this thread to see if a package you are requesting has already been posted. This is the most important rule!
2) Include requests for multiple packages in a single post. No need in cluttering the thread with multiple requests by the same person.
Please keep this thread clean. Useless or off-topic posts will be promptly deleted.

FTP Kitchen Pantry is now open. Please upload packages to there. The address is: ftp://xdaupload:xda:@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/WIZARD/Kitchen_Pantry

Mobireader
SPB Mobile Shell v1.5
Coreplayer v1.04
HTC X-Button-task manager (drop down menu one)
i can provide cab's if necessary. im at college right now so will edit the post later on tonight!
thanx

VoIP Package
Uploaded to the ftp server are the working VoIP packages for WM6. The zip file contains 2 packages which were used to cook my latest ROM in double_ofour's kitchen. No initflashfiles.dat is needed because these are SYS modules.
Link:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/WIZARD/Kitchen_Pantry/VoIP.zip

This is a great idea to have an "almighty" thread with all packages around here in one place. I also agree with the idea of requesting packages and fulfilling requests.
I don't understand why people won't cooperate. Unfortunately i don't have any packs on my PC, but i will contribute as soon as possible.
Cheers !

.NET2 SP2
Here's a working package with .NETCF2 SP2. Works in double_ofour's kitchen. .zip file contains one package. There are no modules in this package as in the original.

Just wanted to say "THANK YOU" for doing this. I just wish I had the time and knowledge to do it. Will do my best to help contribute, just a busy time at work during the summer season, feel like the one legged man in a butt kicking contest lately....... If I can help out in any way, just let me know, I'll do my best.

Does size matter... when it comes to OEM/ROM package, that is?
I'm understanding the 54-ish mb ROM limit, but Can anyone off the top of their heads say how that breaks down system vs. extras? What the OEM folder size limit? How much memory does it actually save to put less stuff in the OEM, all? None? some? How different is the TouchMyCube built in, size-wise. Anyone tried sticking in the cube after flashing?
OK, this went a little too far, but it would be nice to benefit from experience rather than fumble around trying something new (there I go again).
I think it's a stitch that people are flashing using mirrors....
BTW, I'm working on a cab list for the pantry so people can taste before they buy. Feel free to PM me if you know one that probably isn't posted or might be hard to find. (Got the ArcSoft MMS; thx Ingenetics for asking for it.)
(Up to interpretation: )

You can eliminate packages from either side, so the question might possibly be. "What packages can be deleted from the SYS folder to make room for additional OEM folder items?" Many people have removed VoIP, Catalog(ue), Voice Command, Windows Live, Autoupdate and Office Mobile to name most. All but Autoupdate and Catalog(ue) are deleted or have different versions placed in the various official ROM's. It's really a zero-sum game adding and subtracting packages.

\Windows
After cooking a couple roms (nothing special, nor would I want to publish them as they are, but working on it) I'm pretty convinced that the more there is in the Windows directory the slower the OS. I did a bunch of the regedits manually b4 build instead of using rgus and deleted Adobe, replaced it w/ Xpdf (1/3 the size & I like it better, plus the source code is available) and MS Voice Command and got a substantial performance difference, subjectively, even after installing lots and lots of other crap (Cyberon Voice dial & commander, gigantic spb stuff, pocket informant... locally (\Program Files and on card). What softwate do people use for benchmarking?

Any chance we could get one of these threads in the Hermes WM6 forum. There
seems to be a lot of interest in home cooking right now with the release of Core and Pandora kitchens.

I've uploaded four new packages today.
Office 2 k 7 Compressed for Build 318: The exe's only have been compressed. This package integrates the fix needed to make 2 k 7 run on versions of WM6 that do not already have it. It was used to cook my own ROM. It contains no initflashfiles.dat.
ftp://xda:[email protected]tp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/WIZARD/Kitchen_Pantry/Office_2007_Compressed.zip

Windows Live Search: Latest version (I think). Contains initflashfiles.dat and shortcuts.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/WIZARD/Kitchen_Pantry/Live Search.zip

Esmertec Java: Version comes from the Herald. I'll edit the post after a while to give numbers. Contains initflashfiles.dat and shortcuts.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/WIZARD/Kitchen_Pantry/Esmertec Java.zip

Hey Jwgz!
How's going btw?
I'm almost releasing my own ROM finally! Have been cooking so many ROM's with so many different kitchens and I think I can upload a few functional OEM packages! But It will be directly via upload link at our FTP server.
So, preparing and update news later when I finish!
Good initiative !
Rgs,

Xpdf
Can somebody please upload xpdf package. I am looking for files to cook in a ROM, not the cab file. Thanks in advance.

I'm well guys...I'm just swamped at the moment. New job, new house and that's just the beginning. I'll be keeping in touch. I have the pocketxpdf package, but I'm on a dial-up connection right now. As soon as I can get real internet, I'll do it. If someone can beat me to it though...

Pocketxpdf
Initflashfiles included along with .dsm file and fonts. Used in my personal ROM.

OEM Pack compilation
No doubt you guys have seen the massive OEM Pack included in mattk_r's Rom Kitchen. Links to ver 3.9 are in the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311144
I sent in some packages that may make it into ver 4.0, but also want to cross post here in case someone's looking for them. Sorry for the double post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1436358&postcount=133
Include in my attachment are xnView Pocket, cLaunch today plug-in, Calendar Plus today plug-in, Tascal Reg Editor, a Unit Conversion utility, and a simple countdown timer I use when grilling steaks. Cheers

Maybe you can add to the first post that request and posts of paid for software isn't allowed. Or maybe i'm wrong in understanding this rule.
Also maybe a link to....... Man is the search horrib

M$ Office Communicator Package?

I would like to integrate M$ Office Communicator into a ROM but I am struggling converting the original .cab file into a working package....
I have extracted the contents of the .cab file and created a .rgu and initflashfiles.txt files. The files get installed and it will run but I can't get the Today Screen stuff to display. I know there is a conflict with the 'rtcdll.dll' file since if you have VoIP then it already exists, however I am cooking the rom without VoIP (since it doesn't fully work). I have modified the .rgu to reflect the files are now in \Windows but the Today Screen stuff won't display. I have checked the registry entries and the files are there after the ROM has been installed and they are?
I don't know what else to look for, has anybody got any pointers
I can post the .cab if anyone can help?

Any success?
Any success with making a package from this? I had another play around but didn't get anywhere. I think the installation must create some additional files and/or registry changes that doesn't happen when it's installed as a package.
Do any ROMs have this in by default? i.e. not cooked ones but ROMs released by mobile operators or manufacurers? Maybe backward engineer it?

I did have it working briefly, however I am not privileged enough to have GPRS enabled on my company SIM so I only managed to test it when I temporarily rigged a Wireless AP up in the office. We were only trialing OCS at the time, however I think we now have it installed but isn't fully rolled out yet.
I spend very little time actually in the office so unless I can be bothered setting up a few VM machines with Exchange & OCS on I am unlikely to test it further...
I never managed to get it into an OEM package either, if anyone has one or wants to build one that would be good....
The latest version seems to be Office Communicator Mobile 2007 (2.0.387.0) from September 2007 and it says it is compatible with OCS 2007:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...24-F216-4887-92B0-F37D942E26E0&displaylang=en
This is a Windows Mobile 5/6 version and there is a (Smart)Phone version as well.
Cheers

Update OCS
I know this is old but you need to disable the client version filter on OCS. If you're connecting over the internet, then you need to do this on your Access Edge server (under Application properties). Just lower the version to 2.0.1.0 and you should be good to go. M$ hasn't released a later version even as of this post (unless you know something I don't). I asked them about it and they know (sounds like a new version is being worked out).

I have no idea where you are going with that answer? This post was originally about making an OEM package of Office Communicator Mobile 2007 for use in a ROM kitchen.....
I have OCM 2007 working fine with our OCS 2007 Server either in the Office on the private network or via the Internet (GPRS or public WiFi). What I want to do is include OCM in my ROM so I don't have to manually install it each time I flash a new ROM. It looks like I am missing one final registry entry but I still haven't found it.

WM 6.1 Vodaphone to Tilt

I'm trying to cook this up, got all of the ingredients +1.
Has any other cooks worked on this ROM and if you have can you tell me where the Business Email shortcut in the Start Menu originates from? I have looked at nearly every file, provxml, xml, htm, html, shortcut and I can't find it nor can I find a hardcopy after extracting the ROM.

It was in one of the Voda DLLs in OEMAPPS. I don't remember which one, but I went through and deleted anything with a Voda reference (as well as Voice Speed Dial)...
It also could have been the "SmartIcon" thing I kept finding. It was Voda specific when I checked its properties...

Thanks, I'll look there.

Kitchen gone bad?

I am using Alex's kitchen to cook ROMs for my Kaiser(s). I am using the official 5.2.19212 as the base and up until recently it has all worked fine. I keep one Kaiser as my everyday phone and I haven't re-flashed this for about 6-months. The other Kaiser I continually re-flash and test new software on before I let it anywhere near my main phone.
Anyway recently I replaced the Windows Live in my kitchen with the latest official one (I posted on this in another thread). I created the OEM package(s) from the .cab file and also remoduled the .exe, .dll & .mui files using the option 'PkgToolsBuildos-4.3b1.exe'.
Now everything seemed to work - or at least the new Windows Live did. At the same time as this I was testing Microsoft Tag Reader and since I think it will be quite useful I decided to put this in the kitchen. This is where I started to notice problems. MS Tag would start but failed when trying to initialise the camera - the standard camera application worked fine. I also noticed that Office Communicator Mobile 2007 R2 (which I installed from the .cab file) would not run and just hangs the device requiring a soft-reset to get it going again.
After lots of messing aroung I decided to restore a backup of the kitchen and low and behold both MS Tag & Communicator Mobile now work fine. I have since copied most of the newer stuff into the older kitchen (newer LiveSearch, some updated .rgu files etc) and it seems to be working. I haven't updated Windows Live as yet but that is something I will do this morning.
My suspicion is that my use of 'G'Reloc.exe' might be wrong, probably due to my lack of understanding about what it does. I thought that when .exe, .dll & .mui files in packages are remoduled they need to be configured for specific memory locations and this is what G'Reloc.exe does automatically.
I have been making changes to my kitchen - for example when I created the new Windows Live package I remoduled all the files I could and then just ran 'G'Reloc.exe' with the new package in the SYS folder in the kitchen. G'Reloc.exe then searches through the SYS & OEM folders for modules and automatically changes the memory locations the modules will be placed in (relocates them). This seems to be true as when I simply remoduled the Windows Live package and put it in the kitchen it won't run. If I run G'Reloc.exe and then re-flash Windows Live works.
I think G'Reloc.exe has made some irreversible damage to the modules in the kitchen which is resulting in this weird behaviour. I have a backup of the kitchen so I can revert things back quite easily but the main issue is I don't know where I'm going wrong and I think the remoduling & relocating is where it is.
If anyone can please assist or give me any pointers?
Cheers
Andy

[REQ] (new) Office 2010 as CAB

Hi there!
Does anybody have a CAB of the new Office 2010 mobile?
I know that there's a cab from the beta around for a while, but
I'm searching the new version (with outlook) from the latest builds (235XX)...
I think that would be nice for a lot of people who don't want to flash a new
rom only to have the new MSO!
Thx in advance!
Regards,
Markus

office 2010 can be downloaded from marketplace on your device.

thx for your reply, but the download from marketplace is the beta without outlook... i'm searching for the version used in the latest builds from MS. maybe
one of our chef's can provide a cab made from one of the packages!

Subscribing to this. Would like it as well.

Interested in this as well.

ME TOO........

same here!

i think the beta is over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586792

thanks but we are not looking for the beta. we need the office 2010 that comes with the new outlook for threaded emails in windows mobile 6.5. the beta doesn't have this feature.

can't find it on the german marketplace, really sucks here ...

have anyone tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609675

tom_codon (Tom), Xannytech, Miri & kholk (Eugenia) all appear to have Office Mobile 2010 without any beta markings. Does anyone actually know if this isn't just the beta? In particularly regarding tom_codon's ROM which states "Office 2010 RMT".
Is 'RMT' a spelling mistake (RTM) or does it mean something else?
I'm assuming this isn't what everyone is after... but just in case here is Office Mobile 2010 Beta.

i get "your current version is not supported"...
again @ anyone, especially the cooks:
can someone PLS provide a cab for the "new" office 2010, or at least a cab
for the "threaded emails" (if that is not part of the office package, 'cause dutty
has office 2010 in his roms, but not the threaded mails)?
thx!

Bump for the week. Still looking for Office Mobile 2010 final.
Why is beta still on the app store?

Don't have the time to create a cab, but here is the EXT (converted OEM from 23518) for Office Mobile 2010.

Yea, the new office as a cab would be nice..

Yeah I would love to have it as well, anyone has a working non beta cab?

cab creation woes

I created 2 cabs with this EXT, one which installs in program files, another that installs in /windows. The first installs fine, however, the created shortcuts don't work afterwards, nor does launching the app from the install folder. The cab that installs in /windows first wanted to uninstall the previous 2010 install (not sure if that was the first attempt or the beta I had install before). After that the installation fails, wants a different location
If anyone else wants to try (I've never created a cab before, chances are I did something wrong), here's what I used:
URL="http://www.techparaiso.com/how-to-create-cab-installation-files-for-windows-phone-devices/"] Cab creation guide[/URL]
URL="http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4252366/Wince_Cab_Manager_v2.1.0.35"] WinCE Cab Manager [/URL]
And, if anyone wants to try, maybe this cab will work:
URL="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C8VOMC2A"]Office Mobile 2010 cab[/url]
Could be that it works on WinMO 6.1 or lower, my WinMO 6.5 can't install it.
(I would have liked to create proper links, but the forum does not yet allow me to do this)

Might be that you compressed the cab or that you chose not to set a min/max OS. Am just done with setting up my hd2 after flashing a new rom, dont really feel like installing something that might screw office up, especially since its a company-phone and I use outlook and the office-apps daily
[Edit]
Interesting, I got an error when editing it with WinCE Cab Manager, that the data is corrupt...

guys,
from what i have read, the threaded emails is part of wm6.5.x and not the office 2010 cab. though i would love to be proven wrong!
