ive started cooking around a week and a half ago on my new rom series and im not understanding how to set up the auto customization that happids on a fresh flash or hard-reset ive researched for 2 days now and found formats and all that but can someone please explain what "config_operator.txt", config_PT.txt", "config_AP.txt" and "config.txt" do as they seem to be connected to each other and how to set them up with their corrisponing folders thank you!
~xNitrous~
okies first off make sure before you edit the config.txt file you set the properties to NOT read-only then edit the file as you like. put the cabs or .xmls you want in the rom into it and make sure they are signed and set to read only. then go back and save your config.txt and change the properties back to read-only. flash and be done. also search the hermes forum for answears about this since cooking for the hermes and kaiser are the same and there is TONS of info about cooking for the hermes since its been around longer

operatorpkg is the operator package, which in our case is htc, so it should contain stuff like themes,startup animations,backgrounds etc. as obviously windows mobile doesn't ship with this when it goes to htc.
Make it easy on youreself in the start and focuse only on: C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OperatorPKG & config_operator.txt
You can setup config_operator.txt to skip right to config.txt (just make sure the files in middle are not used)
Just add youre cabs, xml and stuff in config_operator.txt. When you get used to provxml and how this work you can dig real into this. One stands a bit out wich you will use more the others and thats mxipupdate_oemoperators_105.provxml
Play whit this and slowly you understand the diffrence and needs of mxipcold, mxipupdate & mxip
I think its important not to bite over to much in the start, you just gonna get confused. Small steps and take time to understand youre prossess and what you are actually doing RIGHT NOW then slowly you will get the big picture of how this connects.
Do some digging on provxml. I attached a wery nifty tool for you if you are not a speedracer on writing youre own xml`s. Use this to convert .reg or .rgu to proxml/xml`s. And download XML Notepad 2007 here. Its free and all you ever need.
Hope this was any help to you

there it is folks...after 2 days of hard work, my site is almost done
Im posting it now to get some feedback
dont mind the way it looks atm etc and downloads are disabled for now...
http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/files/
let me know what you think
btw, I still have to add around 450 files to the site, those arent indexed yet, but I wonder what people think about layout, way of sorting etc etc
there will also be a comments section for people who take the time to register and a simple rating system
looks like a great resource
Shouldn't 2002/2003/2003SE/2005 be an option?
nah, not many files for extended roms are operating system dependant, as far as I know
correct me, if I am terribly wrong
Nice job! Layout looks good with the filter system, although I think that some of the customisation cabs are dependent on OS, particularly for MMS. I may be wrong, but at least someone here can correct me!
Keep up the brilliant work!!

tbh, I aquired all of the files of the FTP, Im thinking about adding a upload form to the site where one can upload their extended rom and the file will land in a temporary folder which I access via ftp, verify and move to the real files directory.
Either this, or there has to be a better way of getting to know when a new extended rom is available for download. Maybe forums on the site will be usefull
file downloads working now...
file downloads are enabled
http://www.dmmh.nl/xda/
I am still working on the category sorting....its almost done...but returns wrong matches if more then one category is selected. All the other filter options are working.
TO DO LIST:
- member registration
- further extended comments section, leave comment for members
- develop 'suggest filter' (people who know the file may suggest the filters which apply) for members, gets aproved/ denied via admin control panel
- maybe forums
- rating system
sofar I have magician and blue angel files online, but a lot still needs the filtering applied
Good job bro, but my suggestion is to compress the cab files to rar, you'll gain more space
nice work....and a loooooot to do in the future,if u want to upload all the files :wink:
keep on man,i beleive ur site will become a gr8 station,where u can download everything concerning ext rom files

When arching with WinRAR 3.42> use "Put each file in separate archive" option in Files (Archive) Tab
mmm, I could do that...but I would have to re-index all the files I've already done
Thanks for your c00l project!
I'm voting for adding "WM2002/2003/2003SE/2005/ALL/.NET" option there...
And one thingy, why not to allow file storing directly to Category?
Perhaps putting "trusted sender" OR "not trusted" variable will solve the problem. So when a new member sends file a file's comment will indicate that this file is from "UNTRUSTED SOURCE AND MAY HAVE VIRUSES AND STUF...". But when you review the file yourself you change variable of sender to trusted one and all files he sent become trusted... and adding "DELETE THIS FILE (-1)" option to rating system will save your time on deciding whether the sender is trusted or untrusted...

Wallaby doesn´t have a extended ROM. Only Adaption have been done via operator Config, which was included in the base rom. There are only a few CAB files in it.
If you get me a server i will upload complete set of operator config. If you don´t have one, i will take mine server and send you the link for downloading....

mmm, ill see what I will do, thank you
I need more space
I have been offered webspace by one of the members here, which is awesome, but I like to keep using my host.
Due to the huge amount of files, it would cause to much delays to query for remote filenames and remote filesizes, causing very slow response times, rendering the site almost unusable
so, if anyone wants to see the Himalaya and Alpine files online...ever.....some donations would speed up the process

"why spend time learning when ignorance is instantanious?"
It defeats the object of having them in the ROM
as soon as you use initflashfiles to move a file it takes up room in the storage memory. make the lnk's link to the /windows/ dir instead

If you just cut straight to the last paragraph in the post above , he is right.
You are best trying to keep everything in \windows to prevent duplication of files as it copies rather than moves them over.
My fault i should have been more clear
I cant use the EXT-ROM as this program requires user input, so forget that idea.
now i have gotten the program to sit inside the \windows\ folder correctly but now i need 1 last step, i need to have a folder w/files inside transfered as well. Its a theme folder!
Example OEM folder:
program.exe
\Themes\
It copies the program and i use initflashfiles.txt to make a menu shortcut works fine ,but when building the ROM it freezes on the Theme folder. Ok so you cant have a folders w/subdir and files.
Now what should i do? i made OEM folder have all files inside but i need the themes folder to be XFER'd to \Windows\Themes\
or is there a solid command or a config file i can write to make adjustments to create/copy/move files and folders?

Thats correct!
If you open 'run' and type the address of the folder you can have it run with out opening a command prompt
e.g D:\DEV_WIZcrossbow CLEAN-V2\Dump\typho5.exe -x nk.nbf
Then you just place you nb file in the same folder each time and run it from the run command in start menu. It will keep it there as well for you to use and use!!!
funman i figured an easier way out. just rename the shortcuts and make the changes in the initflashfiles.dat. LOL. Thanks though. I guess your way is correct.

I think you need to fix the "displaying location" of the XML on that page ... right now it is alongside the titl keyboard fix.
and your description "UPDATE dont forget the xml" shouldn't apply to the TILTkeyboard fix.
It should be below where the "Kaiser Tweak" paragraph is.
KaiserTweak EXE & XML goes together.
Nice thought, but we already have this stickied in the main Kaiser forum.

Hi All,
I need a little help in understanding something, either by explaination, or by directing me toa webpage, but everything I found really doesnt explain it.
I used 3 tools to extract a HTC ROM Leo, I used: NBHExtract, IMGFS utility (NBSpilt etc.) then used Package-tool to create the folders OEM and SYS, and now I'm stuck.
What I want to know is how do i go about making a cab file of something so I can install it? for example like the Messaging App. In the OEM folder it has two folders, one says for ex: HTCMessaging, the other says the same thing with .0409 on the end.
How would I go about being able to cab the messaging system files, registry etc, and cab it?
Thanks a million for any help.
Anyone? Or did I post in the wrong forum?
<Bump> sorry but I am still searching, I have been reading and reading for the last 12 hours and nothing is pointing me to a solution, let me clarify one thing. I am not wanting to know how to make a cab file, I know how to do that.
What I am trying to find out is how does one go about sorting in the example the HTC Messaging App and all the files needed to be installed into a cab, obviously 2 folders doesnt complete it, I know that possibly contacts, and appointments apps have to be put into the cab, but How would I go about finding out all the files needed to the appointment app, all the files needed for the contact app, and all the files needed for the Messaging App, so I could cab them individually and install them to test on a spare TP2 phone, I am not trying to flash it. I want to cab it so if it doesnt work or is unstable, I can uninstall it from the remove programs.
Anyone? I even tried New Visual Kitchen, but it crashes during the building of packages after the extraction process of the ROM.
