Registry comparison for before and after

Anyone aware of a program that can compare the registry/files for before and after a program is installed and uninstalled? Trying to figure out what wasteful entries a certain program is leaving behind that is affecting my SIP menu. A nice snapshot program with comparison would be handy.
Hardware: P3300 WM5

Sure.
Windiff or SKTracker. See my WinDiff tutorial at http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=215073

Thanks Menneisyys - I just came across SKTracker, will check out your tutorial also.

Try ssnap (free: http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_util.html ) from sk-tools and any diff program (very good to find added, deleted, modified files, and modifications in the registry)
And my last findings:
use dotFred's taskMgr (builtin regedit: check option MULTI_SZ,MUI_SZ in RGU format), export registry (before and after), rename *.reg to *.RGU , modify first line (should be REGEDIT4) and use RGUCOMPARER http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=885358 - great tool.

SQM & Ceipui.exe in WM6 - what do they do and how to remove effectively?

Hi,
I have been stuyding in details the orwell WM6 rom as well as the pdaviet's.
All these roms come with the SQM module (Service Quality Monitoring) including the ceipui.exe (Customer Experience Improvement Program) executable.
So I rebuild my custom rom with SQM disabled (no files, no registry keys about it) and with ceipui.exe removed, only to relalize that they are two notifications in mxip_notify.vol for ceipui.exe:
1. Connecti to a network,
2. Data Synchronization finished.
So, here are my questions:
1. I could remove the notifications from the mxip_notify.vol once I had flashed the rom with dotFred's taks manager. Does any one know how to edit this file on a PC, PRIOR building the ROM???
2. Is anyone else looking a trimming WM6 from spyware and other unwanted parts (like SQM, Windows Update, Remote flashing, etc.)?
Regards,
eluth.

I'm amazed! Does anyone care?
I posted the following message 3 weeks ago.
Since, I could study all WM6 ROMs for the Wizard that have leaked.
All of them, without exception keep the SQM module and ceipui.exe file that is trying to dial back to MS at the first connection to the network, as well as periodically afterwards....
If you don't believe me, look at mxip_notify.vol. You will see that ceipui.exe is notified at every network connection and every activeSync operation!!!!
So long....
eluth.

I don't think people really care, you're being a bit paranoid, Microsoft aren't going to install Spyware on devices like Sony did as they would have too much to lose from doing so.

The paranoid and the naive
He may be being paranoid, but anyone who seems to think that Microsoft arent into spyware should look at WGA.
If nothing else they are burning your bandwidth for which you are being charged ...
As for Activesync I suppose you can at least block it through the firewall....

Not Paranoid - REALIST!
Guys,
This is not about parnoia, but just about using a pre-released version of WM6 on a wide scale. Because this is what it is all about.
The SQM module and the ceipui.exe (Customer Experience Improvement Program UI, part of the shell module) are REAL. They are even more real, as they are part of the Orwell 1984 ROM and all ROMs build on that I've seen out there.
Now, where this becomes interesting: none, I repeat, NONE, of the WM5 roms I got my hands on is equiped with a Service Quality Monitoring function capable of phoning home!!!
The SQM module is made of the following files:
76bd787c-86b5-4b63-a1d8-1a910f86c8e1.dsm
76bd787c-86b5-4b63-a1d8-1a910f86c8e1.rgu
custsat.dll
sqmce.dll
sqmconn.dll
sqmdata.dll
sqmevent.exe
sqmsvc.dll
uptime.dll
uptimesqm.exe
I've attached the .RGU file here if someone wants to have a look.
The site it's connecting too is sqm.microsoft.com (look into sqmconn.dll), which is well known on the net. Just google it!
I'm just stating facts based on observation here.
This is NOT paranoïa.
Regards,
eluth.

I've tried to remove all of this SQM things. Besides all the above modules found in the dumped ROM, there is another reg key in HKLM\INIT which says "Launch100"="uptimesqm.exe". I think this will initially bring up the SQM Service and thus create those notifications.
I removed them all (rebuild ROM, of course). Works fine. No more SQM service, surely no notification of CEI.
But, it's the ceipui.exe module I can't remove, else it will keep bringing up error message windows saying that ceipui.exe can't be openned.
another thing I can't remove is the Customer Feedback Icon in control pannel, I search and find that it is cplmain.cpl containing it.
So, everything is fine, leave ceipui.exe module alone in ROM, remove other SQM things, let Customer Feedback just be an icon.
Just for reference. No more.

Hello huangyz,
I did that too.
First I removed the SQM module. As you might have notice the "reg key in HKLM\INIT which says "Launch100"="uptimesqm.exe" " is actually set by the 76bd787c-86b5-4b63-a1d8-1a910f86c8e1.rgu file.
So if you re-cook the ROM with pkg2dmp.exe (recreating default.hv and user.hv from boot.hv and applying all .rgu files), that key is not present in the re-generated registry hive.
As far as the "Customer Feedback" icon in control panel, I added the following keys in 1f1aca24-d942-464a-9281-10567741499c.rgu (this is the RGU of the Shell module):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Customer Feedback]
;"Redirect"="ceipui.exe"
"Group"=dword:1
"Hide"=dword:1
As you noticed, the icon is hard coded into the control panel, however the previous changes hide the icon and prevent it from been operational.
Last, but not least, I deleted the ceipui.exe (which is a file part of the Shell module).
I'm left with a mxip_notify.vol which has initially two notification related to ceipui.exe. These values are not created at boot time but part of the default values of the file (you can do a hex dump of mxip_notify.vol)
And now, I'm back to my original question: I need to get these two ceipui related notifications removed from mxip_notify.vol... if possible at the time I'm building the ROM (right now I do it manually with dotFred's TaskManger, after the facts).

I also notice those notify events. when wm6 is running the file mxipnotify.vol can't be copied out or else we can replace with a clean one while rebuilding rom. can we use the safe mode of spb pocket plus?one more thing, i am wandering how the ceipui.exe be removed from what you call ''shell module'', could i get some hints pls? thnx!

Just an idea. Would it be possible to build some sort of firewall (or such things already available) on the PPC that controls what process or address signals can be sent?

Sorry huangyz,
I should have written Shell package and not module.
When you extract the files of the ROM (with imgfs tools), you can then run dmp2pkg (found in the Scoter Kitchen and other kitchen). I will re-create the different packages under the SYS and OEM directories.
Under SYS you have all the OS packages, and among them one called Shell.
More info about the Scoter kitchen on: http://buzzdev.net/

thanks, eluth
i see you in buzzdev.net
it seems that pkgtool should be used under VisualStudio which not installed on my pc.
so, just imagine i can do that...:lol:
thanks again for your hints.

I've "fixed" it.
I replace the mxip_notify.vol in the WM6 dumped ROM with another one from TMO2.26 WWE shipped ROM, no more ceipui again. :lol:
now what I've removed from the WM6 ROM are:
1, catalog module (marketplace) and all its reg keys
2, sqm related modules and all its reg keys, include one in HKLM\INIT
3, ceipui.exe module and the notifications originated by mxip_notify.vol
It seems CLEAN and my device runs smooth enough now

the mxip_notify.vol from TMO WM5 ROM is put here for convenient reference.
after extract, don't forget to rename it to mxip_notify.vol when cooking ur own ROM.

Thanks huangyz,
I did the same. It works quite well.
I think this closes this thread.

Great research Let's hope the .vol holds out on a touch.
I'm crossing my finger using this mxip_notify on my touch gehehehe, let's see if it breaks something.

so, for removing sqm:
1. edit Shell\mxip_notify.vol (del ceipui references)
2. delete Shell\ceipui.exe
3. delete sqm\* except custstat.dll .dsm .rgu
and may pack

How to build:
Step-1: Download and unrar the ROM_DEV_2.rar. It should look like "C:\ROM_DEV" after the unrar.
You will find two cmd files (1. BuildKitchen.cmd and 2. CreateROM.cmd) inside the ROM_DEV folder after the unrar.
Step-2: Download the desired OEM's and the empty ExtROM (if you need it)
Step-3: Run the BuildKitchen.cmd (first time only), it will dump the rom and prepare the kitchen for you.
Step-4: Copy the OEM's to OEM folder (i.e. C:\ROM_DEV\OEM\) and empty ExtROM to ExtROM folder (i.e. C:\ROM_DEV\ExtROM\)
Step-5: Run the CreateROM.cmd to build the rom
Step-5.1: Click on Start in "BuildOS" and close the dialog when done.
Step-5.2: Encode the rom, click on Encode, select the project file, Encode and exit the dialog. It may complain you that the file is too large....just ignore it.
Step-5.3: Set your device to bootloader mode, connect the USB cable and start burning...
You can use BuildKitchen.cmd to dump other WM6 rom and prepare the kitchen. In that case, decode the rom, copy (or overwrite) the nk.nba file to the ROM folder and run this cmdfile to build your own kitchen.

[KITCHEN][WWE] SuperProCore Kitchen [ONLINE]

Kitchen Based on HyperCore and Bepe's new Compact ELF/IN DevPack.
SuperProCore Is On Hold
Ported XIP Caused SD reading Issues and Bluetooth Radio Issues.
(Syrop how's this working on your version?)
​
This is an OpenKitchen anyone can contribute, this is for the community and those pesky users that come download and never report issues or say thanks.
SuperProCore, is a kitchen based on a new small simple kitchen made by Bepe (as usual).
Of which you will find the original thread here.
What Makes it SuperPro, is hopefully the amount of Packages/Selectable Apps and options that will show up when you start building the ROM.
What Makes it Core is that hopefully i'll learn how to get some of the great tools in the HyperCore Kitchen...
Everythings discusable.
It's because Microsoft doesn't like to listen that most of us hang out at XDA.
Buttttt.... I have to make one Dictotariol Discision.
Help Files Are A No No.
I have never opened one.
And anyone that needs them on their phone should notbe flashing their Phone.
I onlyleave .htm files in that are doubtfull or needed.
6 Years ago when i first flashed my firt HTC/02 Device XDA allready was about downloading a RomCustomizer, choosing your options then flashing it.
Now since HTC got a bit more stuck up and build a lot more security into their Devices other tools are needed and used. And getting your own custom Rom needs a lot of reading and testing.
The thing is the tools are available, and everyone should be able to do cook their own personal Rom.
Now knowing myself i could work 24/7 on this project (I'm a ****ing Chaotic,Paranoid, Compulsive Cooker), but sadly, i also have a life and need to keep myself healthy.
So i'm hoping Some people will jump on this project, even if it means putting "Cooks" out of busines. But hey it will propably also get some people more nights of decent sleep
For now i'm just curious of the opinions and discusions that will pop up.
The Beta v3 ELF/IN Devpack should be enough for some old and new "cooks" (40 downloads) to play with.
So here's an easy deadline, Small update coming next week Wednesday.
Now let's get this thread Sticky.

Extended Elf/Elfin Kitchen for WM6.1
Version 0.6
Download
Nothing New Here.
Requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
Bepe's Original Kitchen for ELF/IN.
Just the files to cook with.
So it can be seperatly be updated with New Batch files, Tools and flashing methods.
Why seperate?
Because there are people that know a lot more about writing batch files and apps then me (I know jack ****).
This way if anyone can contribute just to the small kitchen others don't need to download all the seperate packages for the update.
Changelog

XIP ELF/IN Core
Version 1.2
Download
This OEM Package can be used only ihttp://rapidshare.com/files/95392724/ROM.zipn the ELFIN Kitchens.
Why Seperate XIP Package?
Well maybe some people want to get it working in other kitchens
ChangeLog

XIP ELF Only Core
Yeah this one has 4MB PP
XIP taken from hdubli's WM6.1 CE OS5.2.1238 (Build 19521.1.1.0)
Hopefully SOMEONE gets this working.
I have Put the XIP in the Above XIP package SYRXIP (It's Extracted from Syrup's Rom Which Worked, but extracted Bluetooth is dead SD is dead and Wifi IS Dead)(But maybe i remember it incorrect)

OEM Package Update
Version 1.2
Download
This OEM Package can be both Kitchens (If i ever get the SuperProCore Working)
Why Seperate OEM Package.
Well the OEM will become smaller and smaller as parts move into the SYS package and as files get merged or deleted from OEM Package.
ChangeLog

SYS Package Update
Version 1.2
Download
This SYS Package can be both Kitchens (If i ever get the SuperProCore Working)
Why Seperate SYS Package.
Well the SYS will become BIGGER and BIGGER as parts from OEM move into the SYS package as selectable options and new Packages get added to it.
ChangeLog

Rules
What Rules?
Oh Yeah..!
This is not a "I'm Having Trouble FlashingThread"
Packages must have a Byte Count in the <Tip> Field.
Explanation Here.

My Personal Rom Cooked With This Kitchen
You?

Explanation Of Byte Field In option.xml file
Well as some people might want to hit a specific target for their end RUU_Signed.nbh file.
It might be handy to have some bytes to give them an indication of how much space a package might takein the file .NBH file.
And maybe if we are very nice and Bepe's very happy, he might consider to Change/Patch BUILDOS to read a new option.xml field with these Bytes to Calculate the end result build, while still in BUILD OS so it wont run when under 50MB?
Methinks that wouldbe a nice feature.
And it would propably need to read a settings.xml file that contains The Core bytes count and wwehter this Security feature is on or of.
What do you think Bepe Nice Idea?

Explanation Of Blank Safety Files
Let's Say there are 5 different Commanagers and you select two?
Well Buildos will tell you which folder itlast processed butit could even be moreacurate orexplanatory.
What if it's a package only containing an registry setting that will kill another registry setting in a similar or different package?
Well if it's known and both packages would have a blankfile with name that will give you the crucial hint where to look for the wrong selected option.
The GlyphCache Packages are a small and explanatory example of what mean.
They all Contain a blank text file without extension name
"You Have Selected Mutliple Options In The GlyphCache Section"
So when you select two by accident you get the regular BUILD OS error but becauseit shows you the file name, it's easier to find.
Again it would be nice if this could be done by BUILDOS by reading another option.xml file.

Oh, nice work! Thanks!

Checking the size in the batch files before we call BuildOS could work!? Well using VBS might be easier... I couls write the target size check if i know how you want to impliment the byte size stuff.
For instance how big is the base? Then each package...
Is it possible to calculate the byte size simply by how big the folders are?
Ouch brain hurts!!

Nah the size of the folder or even just the files that get cooked do not match the eventual size they take in the eventual os.nb or RUU_Sigtned.nbh.
Besides you make the selection of batch/packages inside BUILDOS so depending on that selection you get different outcomes.
At the moment in between living a normal live I run the proces with and then without certain packages and add it to the tip field. So when you mouse over the Option/package in buildos you get the indication.
The eventual base OS i haven't calculated yet as it's not as Base as i want it yet
Good thing there's someone that knows more about some stuff then me.
Tnx

here is one i like to add to my roms...

Ok, tried it, added some things I usually add, flashed it.
You're saying (or Bepe is) that 19199 is the latest version, yet after flashing it, I'm getting the "old" phone app, not the new one like in Shadow 2.0. Weird? On startup it says Windows mobile 6.09 too... I'm a bit suspicious here
Also, it seems the 8 buttons com manager isn't able to start the wifi properly. PhoneAlarm (accessing the WLAN driver directly) works though.
The esmertec Java package is outdated too, it's back from April.
Otherwise, I'm ending up with much less RAM than Shadow 2.0. Around 3 MB with the same apps installed. I don't understand how that can be ! (8MB PP each)
Positive side is that my touch is much more responsive. I'll keep track of the memory leaks. seems 6.1 handles memory much better, which was really needed with the ELF !

The Phone skinn is not New to WM 6.1
It's just a ported Phone pad from somewhere....
The emsertec Package might indeed not be new i just grabbed what could get because Shadow Rom was not extractable for Java rgu files.
Nothing has been tweaked memory wise, but if anyone has any ideas.

Had the same with the comm manager. The one attached works fine.

Added Random Acces and seperate Default Contacts/Addressbbook packages with Security files so they cant be installed together.
(No worries the default is just rgu file.
Added LargeTitleBar to packages thanks Pkoper.
Renamed it to 000_LargeTitleBar tho.
Did Byte Count for Auto Udate. (131072 Bytes)
Now checking what's different with the Commanager you just posted as i allready had an 8 button original one in there.
(i first took out the link.exe but i put it back)
Hmmmmm yours has a different lay out....
Well looks like an extra option package ten don't need all the Graphics and exe's for that in the kitchen.
I'll post what i mean.
A **** it... added Your CommManager anyway. 7-Zip will not take up any more packeging space when files are identical anyway.
Did change UID to be safe.
And added security file will maybe do a byte count sometime.
Keep em Coming.
Maybe tomorow maybe in the weekend, next assignement is make package for new taskmanager and remove it correctly.
And remove SQM (M$ Phone Home) correctly.

probably doesn't belong here, but check this one out http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/
i got the com manager of swiftblade... had similar issues back when i was playing with GTouch....
There is like 4 of us working on a german version of the kitchen at the moment..... headaches!

this one could really grow out of proportion...
There is so much **** one could include.... the size would be just huge
maybe set up a rapidshare thingy for the packages?????
I could probably spare some webspace and traffic...
Where to from here?

[SCRIPT] Energy XDA_UC Configuration Tools (EXCT) V1.1.1 Final

This is a little project i've been working on and i thought it was ready enough to be released into the wild. Below is the readme file. I think it covers everything for now. Before posting please read the first 3 posts - especially post 3 - if it is obvious that you haven't done this i will not respond with any form of help and i don't not expect any of the users to do so either.
----------
Included with this zip file are several .cab, .reg and .xml files that will automatically configure your NRGZ28 energy rom when XDA_UC runs upon first boot after flashing.
Included are the following configuration files
activesync.xml
This will configure your MS Exchange settings. Editing with your personal settings is required. Look for the username, server, domain and password tags at the start of the file
aGPS.reg
Enables aGPS
BackLight.reg:
Sets backlight to auto. There are some other settings included for dim and light off times when on battery and AC power aswell
bt_ident.reg
Sets the Bluetooth Identity. Edit the deviceid line to suit
copy.mscr
Copies files from the copy2root folder to the matching location in device storage. A My Documents folder with My Ringtones and My Wallpapers sub folders have been created already. Place you ringtones and wallpapers in these folders. There is also an application data folder which contains a coreplayer config.xml and a program files folder which contains a myPlayer options.ini. Feel free to create more. Thanks to nrfitchett4 for providing this script.
Del.mscr
This file will remove all unwanted ringtones, wallpapers and any other files you decided to add. Edit as you need to. N.B any readonly files will need attributes changed before they can be deleted.
DisableSenseVsync.cab
Disables Vsync in sense increasing the framerate thus making it faster
HD2MemTweaks.cab
Increase's glyphcache size past the bsb tweaks and advanced config defaults, incrases filesystem cache size and a few other bits. This cab file is optional. Delete it if you don't want it. Thanks go out to g.lewarne for documenting the tweaks
HTCAlbumIgnore.reg
Stops the sense music player playing ringtone files from \My Documents\My Ringtones\ and \storage card\ringtones. Copy the examples
if you want to add to it.
M3PH HTC Location Service Enable.cab
Enables HTC location Service and automatically excepts the TOS
ident.reg
Changes the phones identity at first boot. If NRGZ28 won't make it sensible i'll make it so we can customise it . Editing required. this one is pretty obvious
Palringo.reg
Sets up palringo, sorta, change [email protected] to your user name and it should show up at sign in. All you need to do is enter your password
QuickGPS.reg
Enables and configures QuickGPS with the defaults
Ringtones.reg
Configures the ringtone, sms tone and email tone. Needs some editing but you only need to change the file name for each entry, not the
path. The Ringtone2 entry allows for second ringtone to be added to the list of usable ones so you change them with too much fuss.
Also enables flashing light on sms reception for 5 minutes.
wifi_setup.xml
wifi settings. Edit required. This link should help you set it up (see post 3 for details on how to edit)
M3PH Enable Time Auto Update.cab
Enables NTP
Volume.Reg
Sets the volume levels. You can use this one or export your own from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume
Windows live.reg
Pretty much configures windows live. You do still need to enter your password and you will also need to do atleast one manual sync before Sense will create the mailbox on the email tab but otherwise it works
Opera User Agent String folder
See the readme.txt in that folder
Sense Folder
If you put your wallpaper in this folder it will be installed as the sense default. Just rename it to sense_wallpaper.png.
Start Menu folder
Copy Start Menu shortcuts here

Change Log
Change Log:
1.1.1 Final
Removed Keyboard sensitivity tweaks
Removed opera memory tweaks
Added more palringo settings
Added Quick shutdown settings
1.1 Final
Updated volume.reg to default to seperate system and ring volume controls.
Removed all tweaks now included in Energy roms dated nov30 and newer. I will leave v1.0 posted for a while so people that like to install older versions still get the benefit
1.0 Final
Added Windows_live_settings.reg. You will need to edit it as prescribed on page 16 but it will work.
Added Improved GPS settings.cab. This is untested by me but i trust scabes24 enough to know he's not going to pass on unreliable tweaks
Improved M3PH Location Service enable.cab: Added an extra registry setting that should trigger Manila to showing it's on. This is doubtful but even if it doesn't the file does work
Added alarm_settings.reg: This is only an example file. You will need to export your own settings but this should be a reasonable starting point
Removed readme.txt: It was a habit a picked up from Linux development practices and was pointless for this project
Removed time.reg permanently because there is nothing changed in the registry when it is enabled.
--- Pre Final releases

Tips and Tricks
What follows are some tips and tricks i have found that i'm not going to include for whatever reason but thought some people might find handy or notes on what settings do what and their options.
Q. Can i delete file xyz using xda_uc because i like to have as much space as possible?
Yes you can. i found this link. All you need to do is create a file in the xda_uc folder with the extension .mscr which contains the following:
Code:
delete \test.txt, TRUE
or
Code:
deltree \test, TRUE
Obviously change test to the file or directory you want to delete. For more details check out the provided link above.
Q. The default wifi.xml doesn't match my configuration and i can't find a resource that tells me what are valid values for the options?
A. See this link and this one. As a note if you use WPA2 you need to use <parm name="Authentication" value="6" /> and WPA2-PSK is 7
Q. The exchange settings in activesync.xml aren't how i like them. Can i change them?
A. Sure can! Here's a link to the documentation
Q. I use a [enter service name here] and i want to create an xml file to configure it when i update my rom. Can i do this?
A. Thanks to microsoft developing WAP provisioning to an incredibly encompassing level you can do almost anything. See this link
Q. I want to make a cab file out of all my changes. How do i this?
A. There are many ways but i think this is the best one i've found because it doesn't involve any third party software and is really simple. All you need is the windows mobile sdk, which can be found here. You may also need visual studio but i'm not sure
Making either is very simple. You just pass a normal XML file to makecab and give it the name of the output file you want. The one trick is that the XML file must be named _setup.xml. If you call it something else, makecab will succeed, the CAB or CPF file will be generated fine, and then it will fail with a cryptic error when you try to use it. Beware, the documentation doesn't make this very clear.
The syntax for making a CAB file is:
Code:
makecab _setup.xml config.cab

Q. Wow you really do know a lot about this sort of stuff. How can i learn?
A. Well i don't know that much at all really, i just learn fast. Most of the stuff you see here was obtained from or via this MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc500581.aspx
Q. Is there a way to boost the performance of Opera in terms of memory/speed?
A. Yes, this cab will force Sense to unload when launching Opera, allowing for better performance while browsing. (When exiting Opera, Sense will then reload) (thanks to Scabes24 for this one)
Code:
[URL="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O5O1RE97"]Enable Opera Max Memory Tweak.cab[/URL]
Q. I've installed the Opera tweak and everything is working fine, but the page loading seems very slow. Is there a way to improve this?
A. Yes you can, the following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:
HKLM/Comm/BCMSDDHD1/Parms
11nModeDisable = Change from 1 to 0 (thanks to Scabes24 for this one aswell)
Q. My wifi hotspot uses EAP certification and i can't use it because the phone gives me a certificate verification failure error. What can i do?
This was posted in the energy rom thread
NRG, after weeks of not being able to connect to my work wireless network because I was getting a "certificate is from an unknown authority" error, I finally got it working. Can you add this key to your ROMs?
[\HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\]
"ValidateServerCert"=dword:00000000
This is where I found the answer:

The FAQ
Q. Will you include xyz tweak for me?
A. Only if it's a common one or one that i haven't thought of
Q. I use xyz program and i want to have the config file included in your great collection. What do ya' say?
A. See above but you could always spend 10 minutes tracking it down and then creating a folder in copy2root for it
Q. Why is the bluetooth identity the only tweak for BT you include?
A. Because everyones setup and hardware is far too different for it to be worth it. Also, Although you can export the pairings importing them may not be possible due to the way the bluetooth security protocols work.
(More To Come)

Happy to try this, thank you for cobbling everything together.

wow
this would be so handy, i hate spending time making your phone how you like it. I don't flash as often because i get too comfortable with the current configuration.
thanx M3PH
btw: without NRGZ28 i would have sold my HD2 7 months ago

No worries. I did it because i was getting annoyed with spending ages setting everything up and even more annoyed with people not reading the energy rom FAQ properly (i'm guilty of that too). I used the pre-release version last night after flashing the latest energy rom and it saved me in the region of an hour to an hour and a half. It's not perfect by a long way. Things like the sms led notification is enabled and some people may not like that but is is easily reverted with bsb tweaks.
My plans for the next version is to have all the reg files converted in to cab files for they can be removed and i'll tidy up the readme a bit.
One thing i would like help with though is the FAQ. Can the first few people take notes of any problems or questions they have and things or that nature.
Thanks everybody

Thank you, I'll try it out with the new Energy release. I'd be happy with the reg files to import it doesn't even need to be a cab!
Thanks!

Cab files are better because they can be removed and Reg files can't. So if one of these files causes a problem your stuck and that's why it's labeled as alpha software. Also labelling it as that will scare off the less experienced users from trying it and doing themselves a mischief.
V0.2 will be all cab files as far as possible but don't expect a release until 0.1 has had a thorough real world testing.

oh. it is better ,if i find this post eight hour ago.
it drives me nuts ,everytime i get into a new nrg rom.
thank you very much.

Great idea man, thank you so much for this!

Thanks a lot for this! It will definitely save me a lot of time after a rom update. I just have to hope I've set them up correctly and dont break something

yeoldgreat, if you would like to pm me your changes i will look them over.
Overall i'm really pleased with the response so far but i really do need everyones help with composing the faq because for me this works fine (apart from the unteseted bits because i haven't used them yet) so can all of you please, please, please make some notes on your progress and keep posting those questions

My temptation would be to assume that the FAQ is written for me if I can install and get it working anyone can. For instance in the wifi detailing where the various parm's can be found would make it much easier to install. Very happy to install on what you have and pass back any questions assumptions.
As I frequently flash(ROM's only) I can help with refining the documentation.

Sweet, thanks. That is exactly the sort of thing i'm looking for, because it's been over a year since i did any kind of manual writting i'm pretty rusty. It also doesn't i developed most of the parts in just over 24 hours working on my phone and not my pc everything is a bit scattered in my mind. That's the reason why the readme looks the way it does. It all came out in a bit of a splurge.
The wifi script is one of my older scripts and it took 3 attempts to get right and now i can't for the life of me find the resource on ms technet that i used.
I'll probably have a sitdown over the weekend and have a rerun through the readme and make it a bit more detailed. If i can make it as easy to install as possible then the faq won't be such an important thing

How many people want me to include a coreplayer config.xml in the next version? i've got one that works perfectly with myplayer and turbo3d.

Nice Work
I used a number of these to flash the latest Energy Rom and it worked out great. Very smooth! It will be interesting to see what is added on in the future. Thank you for putting the time in and starting a new thread.

I'm taking suggestions for additions. So how about one?

Very interesting sir!
I am going to flash the new Energy ROM either tonight or tomorrow and so will chuck this in with it.
I wont use several of them as I dont use those aspects, but those I do will return with feedback.
I have been frustrated with this as well.... fingers crossed.
