PLEASE HELP. Rom building question.

I am using the hypercore kitchen and using its right's TNT.1437 TouchFlo as a base for building off of for my own Rom and I want to replace the standard SMS application with the WM6 Threaded SMS app in Rom instead of having to install a cab file every time I hard-reset.
Basically I want the standard SMS application gone, and the new Threaded SMS app in Rom. I want it to be just like a cab installation but without an actual installation.
Below attached is a zip file for "WM6 SMS Files"
Please someone help me out on this one.

Does nobody know how to do this?

I didn't download the zip file, but if there's a cab in there, just follow the directions in Sambartle's tutorial under the packaging section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=44308&d=1184780703
I just used these directions today and it works great.
Alternatively, you can also add the cab to the ext ROM. There is a file you add the filename of your cab into and when the customization process starts, it'll auto-install your cab. I haven't yet figured out how to set up an ext ROM so I can't help with that part.

The link doesnt work but its right is helping me with this already. Thanks though.

You would add it to the extended rom.......

There's a tutorial on XDA Ftp made by faria on how to edit the extended rom.
Basically you open the Extended Rom with WinImage, edit the config.txt and update the cabs you want in it.
Pretty easy thing to do.
P.S. You can also find an empty extended rom on the ftp. You can add autorun.exe and config.txt with the cabs you want.

Changing Default Keyboard Skin - WM6.1

Hi all,
I need some advice on doing something that was fairly easy to do in WM6.0 ROMs, which is changing the default keyboard skin by replacing the msim.96.dll.0409.mui file.
I've tried a number of WM6.1 ROMs and this does not work. The only way I have been able to get the .mui file working was to re-cook the ROM and using an OEM package. Even after I re-cook with a new keyboard skin and try to replace the .mui file it does not work. Very strange.
Any of the cooks out there have any ideas why this is? I did a reg. dump of a ROM with and without the keyboard OEM package but did not find anything specific that would show why this does not work.
Appreciate any feedback. I know this works without any issues in WM6.0 ROMs.
Thank you.

Don't know what your doing wrong buddy but most of the time you need to cook the new .mui file in like I always do and i have no issue with the WM6.1 roms ever using the grey keyboard that I always use in my roms. To get this straight your dumping the rom and then copying the new .mui file right over the old file if there is one at all then rebuilding the rom? that is the only way it will work you can't copy over it once you have rebuilt the rom it needs to be cooked in.

austinsnyc,
Thanks for the response.
If I cook the .mui file in a ROM it works fine. The problem is not being able to replace the file (even though the file is overwritten). I was able to do this in WM6.0 ROMs but it doesn't seem this is possible in WM6.1 ROMs and I just wanted to confirm it.
So if I dump, change file, re-cook, works fine. I guess I'll have to do that with any of the new WM6.1 ROMs I end up running.
Thanks again.

Actually you can change it easily via cab install but you need to sign it first. You can try the attached cab, and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1610615&postcount=3 for other skin.

Try this. First import the attached Keyboard Cert registry file (use dotfred's task manager which does registry editing, or resco registry editor). Once you do that, you should be able to use the various keyboard cabs. I've attached one that has like 20 keyboard styles you can choose from (uses mortscript to do this). Choose the one you want, soft reset, and presto...

Remove NETCF2.0 FOR NETCF 3.5 in OFFICIAL HTC ROM ITALIAN

Hi all
I read some thread about NETCF , and how remove 2.0 and install 3.5. I take some package and cooking in my personal rom.
I work on official Italian Rom of Kaiser. When i remove netcf 2.0 and cook 3.5 and re-write rom some function customization function not working fine. For example the office menu conteins only office one note. The connection control panel conteins only five icon...
All today screen item are enabled the htc customization non work.
If i rewrite with 2.0 some customization function work fine.
anyone had same problem ?
Daniele
Excuse me for terrible English

Rewrite What?
You don't need to "rewrite" anything if you are cooking 3.5 into your ROM. just delete the the contents of the NetCF folder and replace it with 3.5's info - in order to do that you'll first need to eiter convert the 3.5 CAB into a package, or download the package. Either way, once you have the folder (it'll have the necesssary DSM and RGU files), you will be able to do an easy swap.

Thank you.

New to rom coocking .. Have some issues!

Hey there!
Iam relatively new to this world so i have some questions.. Iam coocking a rom for my blackstone based on the stock rom .. But i have some errors..
1. I need to replace the default netcf with the newest one (3.5) .. Iam not sure if it has something to do with the package i got hold of but if i just replace the package from sys with my one, netcf won't work on the phone.. Software that needs it gives me an error if i try to open it.. What have i done wrong?
2. 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:
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?
3. I wanted to replace the default start menu icon.. So i went for "SYS\Base_DPI_192\shellres.192.dll" opened the DLL with reshack and went for "Bitmap -> 292" And replaced the icon with a new one.. I then saved the file and used msigner to sign the file.. But this won't work either.. What am i doing wrong?

Hmm seems like i have to post this in some other forum ?

In theory, you should be able to swap the two netCF packages, and everything should work as intended. Where are you getting you 3.5 OEM pack from? Or are you making it yourself?
What may work better for regtweaks is to make a provxml file (a plain text file with *.provxml file extension) and create a new OEM pack with that in, and use BuildDSM to add the *.provxml to make sure it gets inserted when the ROM is flashed.
RGU->ProvXML converter
BuildDSM
Hope that helps!

Actually i have allready fixed the two first problems.. for the first problem i took some netcf 3.5 oem and swapped some files from a pocket pc netcf 3.5 package i found @ microsoft which seems to be working.. don't know why the oem package i was trying to use didn't work though.. For the second problem i did as you told me which is working.. Thanks!
However i still have problems getting my custom start menu icon to work .. Have you tried cooking custom icons in a rom before ?

What didn't work about the custom icon? Did it not show up, or did the ROM not boot?
If it's the first, then there may be other icons in other files that affect it.
If it's the latter, it may be the image size, or something to do with the signing.

How to get Arabic support without the locale

Hi,
I've been wanting to get Arabic support for my TD2, and there is several options being offered here. Below is my experience with them.
1. Mobidiv - this has the origin from Imaginet, now mobidiv. They offer good arabization to the user interface. However, the main drawback is their Arabic support is incomplete - no good support for diacritics. Basically, it is not very useful if you can to use text with diacritics in your documents.
2. Mersad (persion) - it is basically the same as Mobidiv, but with Persion font and transalation.
3. Microsoft_Uniscribe_28205.cab (search in this forum). I think this is probably the real USPCE from microsoft. The one from mobidiv probably is incomplete or it is their own version. My test shows that it does have full Opentype support, which means you can use any fonts from your PC.
Here's some tips for installing the software.
If you do not want to use Mobidiv software, go to step 5.
1. Install MOBiDIV_416_AR_Enabled_TSD_Apr13.cab. reset. Do not use 417 version.
2. Install additional software you wants like Quran, Calendar, Prayer times etc.
3. Test that everything is working. Installation from step 1 will keep the interface in English.
4. Run the Multilingual support (from Mobidiv application folder), and disable multilingual. Reset. This will make Mobidiv application still works, but without proper arabic.
5. Install Microsoft_Uniscribe_28205.cab. However, at the end of the installation, select cancel to reset.
6. From file explorer, go to Windows directory (be patient). Scroll down and look for Wince.nls. You probably need to select "Show All Files" option. Also, you won't see the ".nls", so you need to be carefull in this step. Rename the file to something else like Winceold.nls.
7. Reset.
That's it. You will have a proper arabic support (with diacritics). All of the above software is available in this forum. Just search for it.
Alternative to step 6 is you use Active Sync to rename the file. This step is important since from my experience, this will cause Calendar to stop working,and some other functions as well.
If your phone display square bracket when dialing, just copy Arial fonts to Windows\fonts folder. That should do the trick. For some reason, HTC phone application will use the first font it can find.
Right now, I have 3 Quran application on my TD2 - Mobidiv, PocketIslam and QuranComplex, all with Audio sync. All I need to do know is to study them .

Mersad Persian Language Support doesn't work on com 3 builds(windows 6.5.3).
any solution?

As mentioned in the original post, Mersad's solution does not work correctly for arabic, on any platform. If you need only the language support, then install Microsoft Uniscribe package (step 5-7). If you need Pesian Interface and Mersad's package doesn't work, you need to let him know.

No,I just want to able to read Persian Sms in com 3 ROMs,it works on the internet and word documents but in messages the letters is shown as squares.

That seems to be font problem. You need to install appropriate font for Persian. Try installaing the fonts from SIL. (Just copy to \Windows\Fonts)

Where can I get that fonts?

You can get from Mersad package. You need to extract the cab and install the font manually.

Windows 6.5 also supports Persian,and Energy ROMs has that(build 21916).
But Windows 6.5.5 is newer than windows 6.5,but both development is discontinued.If you want to use a fast and Stable ROM with windows 6.5.5 which supports Persian I recommend you to use CR192 Mozart ROM.it is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829540
Notice that CR192 Mozart has also two kind ROMs:6.5.3 ROMs and 6.5.5 ROMs.
And the Best Persian Language Support program at the moment is Mersad Persian Language Support.it can be found here:
