I have this comm manager that I found from the forums a while back.. It was made my MFRAZZ... This installs correctly and works fine... However, I wanted to change the color of the buttons from blue to a maroon color that fades to black to match the theme on my phone
I opened the cab file and found quite a few files and an XML file... I found out the the other files were actually .png files renamed. I renamed them to ] .PNG and used Gimp to edit the pictures. I then renamed the files back to the origional file extension and used winrar to make it back into .cab.
I have a pic of the comm manger below, a pic of the error message and a pic of my current theme listed below. I also have the comm manager made by MFRAZZ and the comm manager I have edited attached below. They are clearly labeled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe you could enlighten me on what I did wrong.
This is not an issue where the comm manager is open or running in the background. I think I might have done something to the files when editing them to change their colors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Picture titled Comm manager: This is the comm manager successfully installed to my device. This shows the blue Icons which I have changed to maroon.
Picture titled Unsuccessful: Error when I try to install the new edited comm manger.
Cab file titled Touch Comm Manager: The blue comm manger made by MFRAZZ
Cab file titled Comm Manager Maroon: The comm manager that I edited the picture colors and which will not install to my Device.
Help??
So no one interest in helping someone out?
you cant simply repack the cab with winrar , you need to sign the Comm Manager with Certificates, search the ofrum for msigner, download it and sign the comm manager with it and then hopefully you'r good to go
Do i run msigner on the cab file or do i run it on the individual files packed into the cab file? thanks
Msigner
Alright, this is what i got when using msigner on the cab file as well on the individual files inside of the cab file.... Looks like I'm doing something wrong.. Heres the error message
Error: Signing Failed. Result = 800b0003, (-2146762749)
I only found 2 threads on this error message while using msigner. Neither one was successful at helping me with my issue.
Thanks in advance
I searched some other forums on signing cab files as well as my best friend.... GOOGLE. It appears that im going to need a windows mobile 6 sdk and a program called MSDN.. Is this correct? Is there an easer way to do this?
i think it misses the Certificates, make sure you dnt take the EXE out of its root folder
Use MSCEinf to dump the CAB file (7th button from the left on the toolbar), then edit the PNGs, then repack the CAB with Cabwiz:
cabwiz "fullpath\filername.inf"
Cabwiz is included with XP, but if you can't find it, you can get it here.
the CAB does not have to be signed, and since you're not editing the EXE, it doesn't have to be signed either.
Thanks to Benthon for his wonderful MSCEinf. A free program that he continually updates for the benefit of us WinCE users.

Ok...
I have a folder on my desktop thats says Msigner. When I open it up, I see a file that says Ssigner.exe. I can click on that and it opens up but it wont let me write a certificate to my cab file. there is also a yellow folder that is labled tools..... It has a quite a few dll files in it.
Any help would be appreciated
Joemanb,
thanks for the software. Tried it out and it wont open up my cab file that I created. however it will open up the origional cab file... Maybe i did something wrong haha.....
*Update*
I used the program in the last post. it wouldnt readthe cab file that I created but It read the origional cab file from MFRAZZ. I put the origional cab file from MFRAZZ into the program and extracted the files.
It extracted all the files into the correct file format. All my pictures were .png. I thought I was on the right track. I went aheadand edited all the pictures to make them the colors I wanted them to be. I also saw a .mui file... and I saw comm.exe. I expect thats the comm manager. There is not .xml fle now.
How to I repack all of this back into a cab file?
Thanks in advanced
Instructions on how to create the CAB are in my first post :
then repack the CAB with Cabwiz:
cabwiz "fullpath\filename.inf"
Cabwiz is included with XP, but if you can't find it, you can get it here.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Type the command at a DOS prompt: 'fullpath' is the full path to the folder you dumped the CAB to, and 'filename.inf' is the name of the .inf file created when you dumped the CAB. Don't forget the quotes.

Sorry. I get a little ahead of myself. This is my first go at making a cab file. if all goes well i might do this more.
Nice I read on later and back tracked. I noticed that the link provided takes me to msdn's website with a title of Cabwiz(PPC Only) there is no download option. IS cabwiz built into the Windows Mobile 6 sdk?
Thanks in advanced again
ok im slowly getting this.... HaHa. I used command prompt and cabwiz. I took the inf file and pasted it into the folder that was dumped from the other program. I typed it in like this in command prompt.
cabwiz "d:\documents and settings\rzrgs6\desktop\windows\maroon_comm_manager.inf"
it kicked back with this error message...
Error: section [CEStrings] key"installDir" - data value must be an absolute path, or must start with a supported windows CE DirID <of the form %CEx%>
confused on this, maybe a little light shining on this might help.. Any Clues?
Heres an attachment of what I have so far...
you shouldn't have to move or copy the .inf, it should already be in the folder you dumped the CAB to.
It dumped a folder on my desktop callled windows. The comm manager.inf file was dumped on my desktop next to the yellow folder called windows. what you are saying is to do this
in command prompt, navigate to the cabwiz file. Type in cabwiz "d:\documents and settings\rzrgs6\desktop\windows" for the filename and just leave the .inf file on the desktop?
What to type exactly in command prompt is what is confusing me.
Thanks
Ok... I got frusturated with the .cab making process. I just took the pictures for the comm manager that I edited in GIMP and dropped them in my windows directory of my device.
It will keep me happy for now.
Below is my comm manager now and my theme on my phone which i created for Manila 2D
I'd like to help but it's hardfor me to describe it in english(my english is poor).I suggest that you can open it by winrar,see what it likes.And you can search it on google.
I appreciate everyones help.
I used WinCE to unpack the .cab file. It left me with a windows folder on my desktop with a bunch of .png files. I edited those from blue to the maroon fading black. The windows folder also had a .dll file a .mui file and the comm manager.exe file.
Next to the yellow windows folder I saw a .inf file which was dumped from the origional cab file. I expect this was the .xml installation file that was packaged in the origional cab.
Heres what I did. I searched and found Cabwiz and a few other cab making programs. I tried them all out with no success. I keep trying to use cabwiz as I fell it will do what I want. The only think is, I get an error when using Cabwiz which is in an earler post.
For now I gave up.... I just took the .png files that I edited in Gimp and copied them over to my windows Directory on my phone. I soft reset and the icons on my comm manager are the way that I want them to be
If someone could help me actually in the making of this file or just get me back on my feet and try again. I want to understand what it is that I am doing wrong.
Thanks
use the path to the .INF file like I said....
if you dumped the stuff to your desktop (WHY?) then your path to the inf file is:
"d:\documents and settings\rzrgs6\desktop\maroon_comm_manage r.inf"
so your command line is:
cabwiz "d:\documents and settings\rzrgs6\desktop\maroon_comm_manage r.inf"
why you stuck 'windows' in your path I don't know since that is NOT the path to the .INF file. The Windows folder was dumped along with the .INF file, but it was NOT the folder you dumped the CAB to. the Folder you dumped the CAB to is the folder you select after clicking the seventh button from the left in MSCEinf. Obviously you just selected the folder that was presented to you in the dialogue (Desktop) instead of navigating to a work folder and dumping it there.
I did NOT say to navigate anywhere after going to the command prompt (Cabwiz is in the system path). Nor did I say to move or copy anything.
You're reading alot into what I've said, and that seems to be your problem.
Hey there!
Iam relatively new to this cooking world so i have a question.. I want to make some registry entries that changes the colour of the selection in enlarge start menu and the taskmanger.. but for some reason it doesn't work..
I have made a OEM package containing some few regtweaks.. Some of those reg tweaks simply doesn't work! If i check the registry afterwards i have flashed the rom, they just haven't been created, while some of the reg tweaks from the same oem package has.. Iam talking specifically about these 2:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"ManilaCustomHLUp"=dword:66
"ManilaCustomHLDown"=dword:CC
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]
"ManilaCustomHLUp"=dword:66
"ManilaCustomHLDown"=dword:CC
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"0000101a"=dword:00000001
The file here is saved as Unicode .. The last reg tweak works but the others doesn't .. I have no idea why.. They simply doesn't exist if i check afterwards i flashed the rom .. Any ideas?
~D
Your values just aren't right, you need to find the correct decimal value for the color you want. For example black would be FFFFFF in hex, orit would be 16777215 in decimal value .
You need to see the log file,.
Then see, which line give you the error,.
Beside saving as a UNICODE, then you need to add one empty space in the bottom,.
Hope this help,.

The documents does allready have an empty line at the buttom..
But do i have to enter the values in decimal? As i have entered them in HEX.. ?
Thanks for your help untill further..

If your cooked ROM flashes OK, and cooked properly for that matter to begin with, then there might not be anything wrong in this RGU file.
What might be happening is somewhere else in another RGU file these reg entries are being deleted.
(i.e., might be in a subsequently processed RGU other reg entries of the same key but starting with [-HKEY ... vs. [HKEY ...take note of the minus sign '-' at the beginning of the reg key entry)
What are you building the OS with? Are you using HyperCore Kitchen with BuildOS program? If so watch the bottom and look at all folders/packages that get processed after the one you made that contains these REG entries. Then check all RGU packages that you note are progeccesd afterwards.

Does anyone know how to refere to a registry in a .cpr file.
For example, if I want to add a text on my titanium plugin, and in my registry it's in located in HKLM\Software\whatever\text1, how can I get the .cpr to read the value inside that string?
For some reason wm6.5 knows that it can get values from the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome key, but how can I get it from another key?
Would be realy awesome if someone could help, that way there would be quite a bit more to edit in wm6.5...
Does nobody have any idea?
I read that it is the same language as in .xml files, so how do I add a registry value to a text line?
don't know the format or the program which use cpr files
but if the cpr file include the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome"
then I would change it
if not then the program which interp the cpr files prob have
the parth hard-coded in it's binary code

I know the reg. path is in the binary code of a program,
but can't read or edit that.
But, my question is if someone knows the .xml code to read from a registery value.
fe: the code for a picture is [ source="\Windows\photo1.png" ]
to read something from a .dll file is [ InnerTextType="Resource" Text="shellresapps.dll,18149" ]
I managed to solve the call history graphic bug on manila build 1922.
First of all create a backup of your own 0d61c97c_manila file from windows directory
Then just install a previous version of netDrg calll history
Finally copy previously saved 0d61c97c_manila file back in windows folder.
Restart manila
And no graphical bug in date tab of home screen.
netDrg_Call History.cab
Also linked my version of required file: View attachment 0d61c97c_manila.zip

thanx .. But when you press the Alarm Off does not respond to the order. pls fix.
the Alarm box not work please fix
is there a cab out there that just completely replaces the calendar tab with call history instead?
Sorry my friend but what you wrote is a bullsh...t!
In the linked cab file isn't any 0d61c97c_manila. So why I must backup it? It will not overwrited under the installation process!
So it is totally unnecessary backuping the 0d61c97c_manila. Otherwise this file is a QTC (picture) file. It can be making any problem for us.

So in other words the CAB works on it's own!!?
in my case (Rom 1.66.408.1 ITA manila 2.5.19211619.0) just installing the cab, a manila error appear, also after a second soft reset.
Instead, copying the old 0d61c97c_manila file in the windows directory, no error appear.
Thanks for the tweek
Everything is ok with new Manila_2_5_20112328.

Hi blackdog7 thx for the remark but if you managed to notice the original call history modification by Netdrg is for manila 2.5.1921XXXX. If you want to install it on 2.5.19222911 it will fu** up the date tab under the flip clock!
I know the original cab not containing the 0d61c97c_manila file but i think it changes some metadata or internal parameter and that's why you need to backup your original 2.5.19222911 version of 0d61c97c_manila file and copy it back to windows folder after installation the call history cab.
This solution worked for me and others on this forum. I wanted to help other who got this problem too. If you not beleive it dont use it!

While you try to copy back the backuped manila file first you must turn off the manila, second, the file you must copying from any device dir not from sdcard. Then you can turn on manila again.

I think you don't understand me.
I have sense 2.5.1922910. In your first post you wrote: "First of all create a backup of your own 0d61c97c_manila file from windows directory"
Okay I did it. Then I installed the cab. (As I wrote I saw with wince cabmanager there isn't any 0d61c97c_manila file in the cab...) After the installation I looked the date & filesize of 0d61c97c_manila file in the windows folder. Nothing changed! The filesize and date are the same what I backed up! So I think it is totally unneccessary copying back the backuped manila file. But all right, I copied back. The results you can see in my first attachment.
As I said it will not help!!!!
This call history fix is not a fix! It can be a fix! Because the problems is in the manila scripts not in the image! What you wrote in this fake fix, is an image! a QTC! It can't be fixing nothing in this case!
In second attachment you can see the converted 0d61c97c_manila as a PNG image. The exactly name of this file is "\windows\htc\home\assets\images\home\vga\btn_date_rest.qtc" (If you don't know htc renamed the *_manila files since sense 2.0 as a path, not a simply name)

I think the fix will help for you! But I think you haven't sense 2.5.1922910. You have another version, so this fix can help you. Just simply download bosstom's 0d61c97c_manila file, and overwrite yours.
Hi XDA ppl,
How to delete a registry value with a .reg file? The standard hyphen approach doesn't seem to work. I tried it like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItem"=-
This should delete the TestItem but it refuses to do so. Does anyone knows the trick?
I don't know how to do it with a reg key, but you can do it this way with a mortscript:
Code:
RegDelete("HKLM","\Software\Test","TestItem")
here you go!

Sounds odd! can you tell me the heading of your provxml file? it is xml or provxml? what tool do you use to import? can you post the actual code of the file?
Hi, usually I create a cab file from .reg files with CeRegEditor (ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl). If I create new keys/ values everything works just fine. Just deleting doesn't work.
In the end I installed the kilmist registry editor trial to double check cause it can import .reg files directly, but its the same problem: deleting doesn't work.
Here the exact code of the files I tried:
-- File 1: create a test key with 2 values... works fine ------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItemOne"=dword:00000001
"TestItemTwo"=dword:00000001
-- File 2: try to delete 1 value... fails ---------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItemOne"=-
-- File 3: try to delete the whole key... fails too ----------------------
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
your files seem ok.
while you find th solution I recommend to add postxml to your cab to delete the unwanted keys. nocharacteristic and nopar should allow you to delete whatever needed.
two hints: check the encoding of the files and check the order. make one cab for the additions and another for the substractions just in case the cab tries to delete the key before it is created. sorry i can not help more !! please, pm when you find what was it
Try:
Save your .reg file as Unicode not ANSI, start your .reg file with
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
In the first line. And leave one blank empty line at the end of the .reg file.
Did it work?

Nope, doesn't work either.
I put Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 in the first line, encoded it 8-bit unicode and made sure theres a blank line at the end (always did that). all to no avail.
Btw, I'm running WM 6.1 on a TP2. I really wonder if its working at other phones / WM versions, or this is a "universal" problem.
thx anyway, Tobias
