How do you save cab files when they are installed? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

I am trying to figure out what registry I have to change in order to make it so that cab files arent automatically deleted when you install them. I had to revert back to WM5 because I am getting tired of the performance issues with the custom WM6 roms and also all of the bugs and glitches... Every rom has it's own set of quirks. I find t-mobiles official wm5 rom to be most stable and fastest so I changed back to that.
Please help me with this little problem. Thanks in advance, Dan.

goto system>advance settings there should be an option not to auto delete install cab files.im running the same rom as you black diamond 2

Thanks but I recently changed back to the official T-mobile rom because I finally got tired of all of the bugs and glitched and performance issues with custom roms.
Thats why I am trying to figure out what registry to change.

Then why are you posting in the WM6 forum??? Posting here usually means you are asking about WM6.
All the answers are in the Wiki if you read / search...
Or grab a tool like Schaps advanced Config or similar and just tick the right box...

From the wiki:
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Or to restore to the default:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

HTC's Phonepad......Jammin

Hi guys
Ive recently got my jammin and have found that without installing the extended rom the device speed is alot better.
Bu theres 1 prog in the extended rom that i use alot which is the phonepad ...Ive found the cab located in the rom but the problem is the cab also install the voice app / pdf viewer and java app.
Is there a cab available thatll just install the phonepad and nothing else?
Thanks
if you post the cab we can easily extract the parts you don't want, or you can do it yourself with WinCE Cab Manager
Ok brilliant ive attahced the cab
Thanks alot
This cab doesn't install the voice cab or anything like it.
It makes 4 shortlinks and addssome values to the register, that's all it does.
so it just installs the phonepad...is there anyway of deleting all the etxra links .etc .etc and just it installing the phonepad ?
No it doesn't install the phonepad, in fact it doesn't install any software at all, this cab.
However you can delete the shortlinks, located here; /windows/start menu/
But remember you still don't uninstall/delete the actual software.
Ah , ok ....so do you know the phone pad (touchpad thng for texts .etc .etc) ....Not smartdialing program...Is this actually located on the rom itseld or does it install from the extended rom.
As i thought it was installed form the extended rom but now this as got me thinking its hard encoded in the rom itself?
Is this rite on HTC devices?
Thanks
The touchpad itself is included in the rom, however I've seen you can enable/disable some of those input pads with some registry settings.
Unafortunatly I don't know what settings and if it can be done on all htc devices.
On my wizard it's enabled by default.
ok ,Thanks for the help / info

SOLVED- EXT-ROM Unlock & UnHide - 2.xx

after few days of playing around, then found a solution to WRITE to Ext-ROM which persists after soft-reset.
All praise and thanks are to God the Most High.
Here is the solution; Tested for prophet ROM2.15.13.27 -G4 but should work for over chipsets and even other handsets e.g Wizard
To Unhide Ext-ROM --- (this is already known by most- but include for completeness)
Need following registry changes:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\StorageManager \AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1
"Bootphase"=dword:2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\StorageManager \Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1
"MountHidden"=dword:0
To Rename EXT-ROM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\StorageManager \Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1
"Folder"=string:Storage
--- can call it anything you like instead of "Storage"
To Unlock the EXT-ROM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"SoftwareWriteProtect" =Dword:0
THIS key is the mainchange that will enable write protect, but it keeps reverting after softreset. To get around this, will need to change the following also.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"AutoDPDMode"=Dword:0
Then Softreset.
Now should be able to write and install to Ext-ROM/Storage
If any problem can return the last key to original value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"AutoDPDMode"=Dword:1
-----not sure what this key does??
then soft reset again.
this worked for me . try at own risk!!
Enjoy
All praise and thanks are to God the Most High
AbuYAHYA
Ps. let me know if it works or not for you...if anyone wants to make a Cab file then would be helpful
did any1 try this??
Works!!
Yes it works flawlessly....
Thanks

I instaled the same ROM so abit strange you don't have writeprotect key. Possible options maybe perform backup and hard reset and then recheck for the latter key....Or....just make the keys.
I think I added this key also myself but not 100% sure.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\StorageManager \Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1
"MountHidden"=dword:0
As for writeprotect key then try adding. if the dword remain at 0 after soft reset then should work. if not try changing the Dword for AutoDPDMode form 1 to 0, aswell as the softwarewriteprotect key as below
To Unlock the EXT-ROM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"SoftwareWriteProtect" =Dword:0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1
"AutoDPDMode"=Dword:0
hopefully should work.

sorry to hear it doesn't work on Wizard.
If it was well known then maybe some-one should add it to the WIKI page. As several have asked how on a few threads with no replies both here and BUZZdev.net.

doesnt work on my Jamin with the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe rom
I had to use buzz's unlock tool to let me write to my extended rom.
I have upgraded to the PDAMobiz 16MB ROM. Unhiding the extrom via the registry entries work. But unlocking it doesn't.
I too do not have HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS _DOC1 key. So, I manually created it with the entries as posted, but it didn't work. (yes I did a soft reset after shutting down for 30s or so).
I then proceeded to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Drivers\Builtin\TRUEFFS1 and change the "AutoDPDMode" to 0, and SoftwareWriteProtect to 0. There are 3 such keys: TrueFFS, TrueFFS1 & TrueFFS2. I changed all 3.
Unfortunately, it still didn't work...
But Buzz's unlocker prog worked. It didn't before when I was using the official Dopod ROM.
To every body !
I've update my rom to RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1.exe. when finished, the extended rom can't use. Change reg not work. So when i lock up at the rom "AKU2.3.1_LvsW_Edition_2006-11-28" i find there're 2 files : extunlock.exe and UnlockExtRom.cab. Run 2 files and finally i can use extended rom with no restrict.
My device is O2 Neo. Hope this usefull for some one
Would you please be so kind and upload these two files to the ftp? I'd like to try if it works with the last original QTEK-ROM.
Thank you
hi all.
've been reading some very interesting things in the forum the last few days.
i think you re great.
As far as:
Show extended ROM: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:0
Hide extended ROM:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:1
they work ok for me with 2.9.7.24 wwe ROM
2.9.7.8009 extROM
(IPL&SPL 2.09.0001)
after soft reset i can see Extended_ROM2 on my file explorer.
when i check the file properties with resco file explorer all files inside extended_rom folder are read only(which can be changed of course).
so i can easily modify the cab files inside the extended rom along with config.txt entries.
last, changing all files to read only, reverting the registry keys to hide ext_rom
and hard reset.

You can load "AKU2.3.1_LvsW_Edition_2006-11-28.exe", then right click to this file, select "extract to ..." to get these files hope this work on your !!
Great, it works again! Thank you for your help.
could you please to upload just two files ( extunlock.exe and UnlockExtRom.cab.) only, cause my connection is very slow for getting "complete packet rom".thx
Here you are!
Thaks bro, but still can't edit/delete my ext rom,
one more question, is this ROM can work with Simtolkit App?
Have tried the two files but I still can't install to ExtRom. It says ExtRom2 on my Dopod 818 Pro G3. Currently having more problems with syncing. Ay advise?

I found the following document about the Trueffs file system.
Download the following document http://www.mobilediskonchip.com/NR/....pdf|Installing_TrueFFS_for_Win_CE_Rev4.7.pdf
The AutoDPDMode parameter is described on page 12 as:
“AutoDPDMode”: This option enables Auto Deep Power-Down mode, which reduces the
average power consumption of DiskOnChip. Auto mode puts DiskOnChip in Deep Power-Down
mode automatically after each driver command, and takes DiskOnChip out of Deep
Power-Down mode automatically when the driver is called again. Using this mode disables the
option of booting from DiskOnChip via software reset, as the IPL cannot be accessed from Deep
Power-Down mode. In order to boot from a DiskOnChip device in Deep Power-Down mode, a
hardware reset or powering off is required. This registry entry has no effect on DiskOnChip
devices that do not support Deep Power-Down mode.

Looks to me that AutoDPDMode has nothing to do with the write protection of the Extended ROM...

This rom is a close as it can get to the original one.....a super clean rom is also in the way....
This rom is not a hack from another device.
Many thanks to mamaich BEPE AND dr.P FOR ALL THE Support and all the authors/xda of the freeware apps.... and specially.....my wife that lend her wizard to me in order to finish this rom,and for putting up with the many hours i ignored her.
The rom is based in the [REAL THING]
PLEASE DO NOT PM ME ABOUT THE ROM AS I WILL NOT ANSWER ....POST YOUR QUERIES IN THE FORUM FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE.
Please note that i had no chance of fully testing this rom because my wizard is not fully operational......this rom is intended for users to use it as a base for their own roms....
Therefore my support for this rom will be very limited.
This rom was build as a special request from jwzg and other members.
There will be a supper clean rom....for clean freaks....eheh
Also there will be an updated version of the current "real thing"
rom has been taking down due to a problem in phone settings....

Thanks for this Faria. This is a clean as I need and want it.

cab from windows;

cab from the extended rom;
CAB: \Extended_ROM\mycab.CAB

So far so good (thanks for a clean rom faria...this is a perfect rom for me to start practicing cooking on). Only thing i have noticed so far is if you go into the phone settings and hit ok, it stays on that screen (only a soft reset removes it as far as i can tell. i flashed the rom again to make sure that wasnt it). can anyone replicate this?
*edit* end call button can close it.
does this clean rom also include registry wizard? and total commander?

restoring your PPC guide

Thanks everyone for providing a great resource here.
I've searched and searched but I can't find inthe forum or the wiki a difinitive guide to restoring your device after upgrading. if possible can someone make a wiki or if I have somehow missed it point me in the right direction?
what I know is limited, but here maybe the start of a wiki
After using the guides to upgrade your PPC, you want to get it back to how it was before
1.Activesyc device (but it looses previous settings can this be fixed?)
2. restore just mail using Spb backup (is this safe? does anyone know of a better way to get your MMSs and SMSs back?
3.make a CAB with all the files and settings using winCE CAB manager (if anyone can help a little here that would be great)
how do we install progs to storage card?
in regards to adding registry keys, I assume we backup the registry then change the settings and/or install the programs that we want then compare the current registry with the previous one and then whatever new has been added then this is what we should add?
4.do we have to reinstall programs that sync seperately? eg phatnotes or ewallet?
Thanks
I can answer a little for you,
1 = only wm2003 can restore more than pocket outlook info
2 = spb is not safe for upgrades, though I have read of people doing it. Try PIM Backup v1.9 (Release date 15/05/2007) by dotfred
3 = make your own extended rom (or even your own rom). or keep cab files for everything on a storage card in one file, and install one after the other after a flash.
4 = i don't understand the question
try sprite backup. it is able to restore accross rom upgrades

Avaya One-X 4.0.25 on WM6
Installed and working on Kaiser WM6 !
Manual install process :
1. Unpack the attached ZIP file with subfolders.
2. Copy all the files to the appropriate folders on your PDA.
3. Change the registry according to the attached registry.txt (change 2 keys and create 4 new)
4. Completely turn off your PDA (to renew the registry). Reset button does not work.
5. Switch the device on.
6. In order to enter the PIN code do: Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Entere your PIN
Now you have an Avaya One-X as a dialer.
Enjoy !
