Seems there is no extended rom in the Kaiser...

Sorry jcespi2005 but one question...
Where's the files that the Kaiser install when there's an hard reset?

Take a look at \Windows and you find the CheckAutoRun.exe and the AutoRun.exe and, of course, the CABs files...

re
If you add cab files here will it install them after a hard reset? If not is there a way to do that?
Thanks

If you make Hard Reset, all the content you copied wiil be lost, so you need to recook a ROM to add content here.

Yes there is NO Ext_Rom in the Kaiser....

Thanks!
But if i'd like to recook a ROM... How i made it?

You can't.. Yet...
Give it a few more days and tadzio will get the build process figured out.

is there a config or ini file autorun reads?

you can dump roms at this point just not rebuild them so you could go look for yourself lol.. But it is 3 config files not just one in the Kaiser

My thinking was that you could modify the autorun config files to only load what you want and do a hard reset - if the files are all in the \windows directory and not in extended ROM - would it read the files from there or are they in some secret place?

Once you cook a rom, you can edit the config.txt/preconfig.txt to point to installs anywhere:
CAB:\Storage Card\install.cab
However, you must cook the ROM in order to get changes to the files to stick. If you edit it now, it won't persist after a hard reset.

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.

How can i edit a rom?

I wrote a guide on how to back up a rom to an nbh here (for the shift but same applies) and was wondering how I can modify a rom before i cook it (i have extracted the contents) - i basically just want to modify some reg settings move some files create shortcuts and install some cabs - how can i do this?
Thanks in advance,
Kris

I would try starting here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's Cooking Kits

i already have cooking kits and have ripped apart my rom (and know how to recompile it to nbh) with the kitchen ... i want to know how to modify the files in the SYS folder so that i can change the rom
someone said i can do stuff with the OperatorPKG folder by editing the config_operator.txt file but i had no joy
Thanks Kris

There is really no exact way of cooking stuff. You just have to delete stuff and see what happen when you cook it! Same way with registries. Its all trial and error, and you can modify anything in the SYS folder. Some might work, some might now.
Also I may suggest that use a released kitchen (Anryl) as you base, and compare it to what you want to do! Good luck.

How to combine CAB

Is there a program to combine many cab files into one CAB?
I flash many ROMS and would like to make one cab of all the programs that I usually install after a hard reset. (I've tried sashimi, but I need it to be in one cab)
I searched about it, but couldn't find an answer.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I apologize for posting in the wrong forum.

Thanks for your help, but I was wondering about a program that will create a cab from many cabs, not UC.

Its ok, but becareful next time
there isent a way to install several cabs in a single install, though what you can do is to make a new cab file with all your data in it, but it will make a VERY big Cab ;D

no no.. what i meant is, use UC to create an installation of all your cab files. you can't combine a lot of cabs into 1 cab because it's not readable.

We'll be more careful next time.
That's exactly what I wanted, to make one big cab.
The same idea as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464758&highlight=game+pack

Its not free, but look at http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr
edit: It might be possible to extract the data from the cabs you have, and recombine them into one big cab file.

i use WinCECabManager to create cab files.. but you can't create full installations of many cab files in the same cab.

[Q] How to edit a cab file?

Hiya
So I figured that i better go a learn how to use this UC that i find extremly clever - however there's a few cab's that i would love to change abit to my use, for instance dont make it install all the apps its trying and so on...
However i dont really know where or how read the file - ive downloaded WinCE trial version and oped the cab, but wich file type does what and so on? Ive tried abit, deleting some program files however i still need to edit the install files to tell the cab not to install the program at all, so are there anybody out there who can guide me abit on the right direction?
And es ive allready searched this site and google, but i havnt found anything usefull :?

Which program is it that you're trying to edit?
Have you tried editing the config file that lists the cabs to be installed?

If you by config file means the xml file then yes - so far so good - however now im having trouble rebuilding the cab - ive tried several times using both winrar and alZip but i cant seem to rebuild the file correctly - it dosnt even have the right size even though all ive done is to extract the files and rebuild em - what am i doing wrong?
Perhaps im just too dumb to get it - but when i open the cab file in WinCE it dosnt seem to display the _setup.xml at all - so how do i edit that file and use WinCD to rebuild the cab file?

Bump!

use any Cab manager to do that
or cabwiz (microsoft command line utilty)
also try this : http://nedge2k.com/cab-o-matic
or, you could PM the files and i'll cab'm up

Hmm i allready have WinCE - i just dont know how to change the cab and repack it, perhaps you could help on that?
Ive also seen that link under my search - however the site just says: "down for bug squashing..." so not much help there anyway
Thx for the offer - however the main reason is i want to learn how to do it properly
CabWiz i has been unable to find for download :?

to edit a cab, you need to have the WCM file. you can also unpack it using a Package Creator (v2.7) makes the changes needed, and create the cab again with the modifications using your CECabManager

Hmm yea i understand that much - however i fail to see how i can edit anything in WinCE when i dont have the xml file when i open the cab? I do understand the i need to unpacvk the cab, ive dont the with different programs, ive also edited the xml file to fit my request but i simply cant repack the cab with my edited xml file and get it to work? What am i doing wrong?
//M

CeCABManager supports importing information from an *.inf file.. not xml files..
you can just provide the info on the cab to the app and it'll pack it for you..
