Putting togeter exe from wm6 image (noob)

Hi,
Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310287 I created a dump directory for a WM6 image. Inside the SYS directories are a number of subdirectories. Some of these subdirectories have familiar names (e.g. calendar.exe). Using calendar.exe as an example, there are 5 files: imageinfo.bin, imageinfo.txt, S000, S001, and S002. Here are my questions:
1. What are these 5 files?
2. What tool would I use to put the folder together to create a single executable?
Sorry for the noob questions but I can't find the answer on the forums!!

OK, after trying out all of the tools in one of the bundles, I found the answer to the second question:
2. Within someone's kitchen tools (I don't remember which one I downloaded) was a file called recmod.exe. Run it with the folder as a parameter and it will put the exe together.
I still don't have the answer as to what those 5 files are though.

My terms may be off base but I'll try to explain what these files are as I understand it (and hopefully not look stupid in the meantime as I'm also trying to explain it in layman's terms).
Many core files are constructed like this so that they are optimized in the Rom to make them run more efficiently on our devices.

[Q] Extract Windows Mobile 6.1 OS files?

Sorry if i am asking something that is already answered for numerous times, but believe me i have tried to gather the information on my own but none of those worked.
I would like to extract files from Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom to see what are exported dll apis, not only those documented, I am basically waiting for blackstone and having blueangel right here but i actually dont really care which rom image to use, just to get the binaries out.
I am not familiar with terminology you use for describing this (and idea: put together some dictionary ) but for sure none of the described around keywords NbfUtils (activestate ppm just doesnt work), rdmsflsh.pl (After nbfutils installed "by hand" it doesnt find NbfUtils.lib)... After all the misery with bunch of not working tools and switches with curious names (and both probably perfectly understandable by someone playing with roms for years - not my case) I have done some code to dump dlls from rom images by searching for PE and looking for export directory but they are not really highly descriptive without file names.
Can someone PLEASE point me to some relevant data, how to get files and directory structures either from rom images here or .bin images for visual studio emulator?
Thank you for reading this...

Been there, done that...
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/perl/ppm repository does not work (activestate perl) and if i try to do it "by hand" (perl makefile.pl, nmake, nmake install), it is ok for nbfutils, but for compress utils nmake fails with LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'nkcompr.lib'.
And this is fatal error not warning as someone mentioned somewhere else on the forum...

Concerning Imgfs Utils...
>ImgfsToDump.exe PPC_USA.BIN.payload
ImgfsToDump 2.0 RC 2
Unable to load compression DLL!
The first reason for this was dynamically loading cecompr_nt.dll wich have dependancy to missing c runtime for vc2003 (as i only have vc2008), i have added it but it fails with the same
message, will trace it further, those are at least things i do understand

dll reconstruction of xip files in wm6

Dear All,
i'm owner of omnia i900 from samsung, and i'm bit interested in adroid os and what would be eventual possibilities to port it to this pda/phone. I'd like to copy driver files from /windows/ directory on the phone and disasseble it to see the init of lcd etcetc. These files are copy-protected so I gues they are sort of executable-in-place because they do a core of wm6 system. is there any way how to disassemble/copy/reconstruct them? i've been looking around, but didn't find any specific info.
i'd be happy for any useful info.
thx.

It's possible to disassemble and reconstruct the dlls. You would first have to download a ROM update for the phone and then dump the PDA part of the ROM using the an omnia kitchen. All this can be found over @ the MoDaCo forums. When you look in the ROM folder inside the XIP folder there will be the dlls you need. You should then get the IDA disassembler and disassemble the dlls with that. After finding the routines you need you'll need to get the HAReT bootloader and the Linux kernel to patch. from there on in you'll need to read up on dzo's android linux for the Vogue and HAReT's documentation and go from there. Hope it helps...

Sorry for late response. Sort of busy. Thanks for info. Very useful. I'll try to look into....

XIP again?
Dear All,
maybe someone could give me some hint. I've got all the drivers I need thanks to post of Soul_Est. Unfortunately this is not a complete solution for me.
When I try to disassemble e.g. zylonite_usb driver, it ask me for reference to ceddk.dll library. this is unfortunately XIP file, therefore no ceddk.dll exists as this library is spread over many files (imageinfo.bin, imageinfo.txt, s000,s001,s002,s003). Of course when I cancel import of this DLL, the IDA disassembler will put into the decompiled zylonite_usb code links to call functions as CEDDK_37, CEDDK_62 etcetc. It would improve my guessing of what happens by degree of order if I would be able to import this CEDLL XIP file into IDA, thus instead of CEDLL_37 call I could see real function name...
could someone smart tell me how to do this? how can I prepare these ceddk files in order to import them into IDA?
thanksalot

You could use ervius' buildos + pkgtools 4.3beta1 to re-assemble the module as it's called into the file you need. I can't remember where I found it though. You could also look into the haretconsole to look into the function calls. Documentation is here: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET_20Documentation
There is also someone porting the Linux kernel to the Omnia as well. You should check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431329
The two of you could possibly work together on the project.

Window Mobile 6.5 Editing - Newbie Question

Can anyone point me to a post that describes the general method of editing the registry in WM 6.5 phones please?
Is this done via a .cab utility that installs the equivalent of Regedit, or do I need a utility on my PC linked to my phone via ActiveSync ?
Any help is appreciated; sort of trying to find the starting point so I can change some of the things on my phone that are not exactly what I want.
Thank you.

[Completed] Integrate Android emulator to App for .exe

Hello!
I wanted to ask if it is possible to integrate an Emulator in an apk file or an App to make a .exe file.
Like Bluestacks for example. I don't want to run the app through the emulator, i want that the Emulator is build in the EXE file.
It must be possible, but how? If BlueStacks can almost emulate any App, it must be possible to build the emulator directly into the .exe file.

Hi
It is not possible . Bluestacks is a runtime which enables you to run android apps. Similar to JVM.
Please post in General Section if you want to engage in a discussion with others

Good day !
