Hi,
I have installed on my Kaiser the following ROM RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40. 02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe.rar.
So far so good - it works.
I have created a new ROM (based on this ROM) with some more application - so far so good.
Nevertheless, I have tried to move some *.lnk (\windows\start menu\programs) to some new folder (\windows\start menu\tools, ....) with editiong the Menu_Operation.xml file in xkaiserkitchen_01-20-08\OEM\OperatorPKG.
Unfortunaltey none of the *.lnk are moved.
Menu_Operations is started once after a hardreset or after flashing the new ROM - started from config_operator.txt.
The creation of new directory works.
Example:
<characteristic type="%CE4%\Programs\Tools\Search.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Move">
<parm name="Source" value="%CE4%\Programs\Search.lnk" translation="install"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
Should means: move search.lnk from directory \windows\start menu\programs to \windows\srat menu\programs\tools
But nothing happens.
Any ideas ?
_________
In my cooked ROMS, I edit initflash.dat directly.
NOTE: initflashfiles.dat has an interesting issue where if you use notepad to edit the contents and save it, notepad will add extra characters that prevent the device from booting properly after flash. I personally use WinHex (any Hex editor will work) to remove the extra bits it adds at the beginning of the file after making changes.

Me too. More direct and do not need to struggle w/ xml
EDIT: Please ignore this mail.
hm, now I am confused.
As far as I know, all OEM apps are stored under \xkaiserkitchen_01-20-08\OEM\OEMAPPS - but there is no *.dat file, only a *.dsm is available.
There is either no initflashfiles.dat under \\xkaiserkitchen_01-20-08\*.
Which file has the information which *.lnk is stored in which directory ?
For my own apps (saved under \xkaiserkitchen_01-20-08\Packages ) this information is initflashfiles.txt (created with packages generator by ervius)
Thanks

Never trying this but you can start to export values from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items. You can import later to include any shortcut you want to be listed

Try settingssavior, i think it has a provision for it. But I am not sure if works or not!
I have done this before, and unfortunately, a simple registry tweak doesn't do the trick. You will need to write (or edit) an *.provxml in your kitchen specifying the *.lnks to move to the "\Windows\Start Menu" directory.
Don't think this can be done by Reg, the default items are Stored als .lnk under "\windows\Startmenu\" controled by Initfiles.dat or Proxml files!
Maybe you can try Proxml syntax with UC
like this
Code:
<characteristic type="\Windows\Start Menu\" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Internet Explorer.lnk " translation="install">
<characteristic type="Copy">
<parm name="Source" value="\Windows\pie.lnk" translation="install"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
and delete Help :
Code:
<characteristic type="\Windows\Start Menu\Help.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Delete">
<parm name="ForceDelete"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

You are right ...sorry for misguiding, by mistake I thought it is a today item plugin which is enabling/disabling is controlled by registry values.
edited the title to maybe get some more eyeballs on this.
just move around the link files
i think u are asking if u can customize the start menu...
use total commander and go to your main memory. then click on windows folder. then click on start menu folder. here you'll see link files for all your programs. with your stylus, click and hold...Copy/Move. then click on Tree...find the directory you want to move it to or just plain delete the link file off that folder and keep just the ones you want.
hope it helps.
If the Rom is UC compatible,than this is most safe way to put these setting right after each hard reset.

That sound very nice, where i find that provxml to edit it? or i may create it? (how) thx
BTW: thx to all for the replies
I would just add it to the end of an existing .provxml file. In your kitchen, go to OEM and search for mxip_oemupdate_*.provxml (something like that). Just open it up and add the entries before the </wap-provisional> tag at the end. A tip on editing, search the boards for Sleuth's User Customization thread. It gives tons of examples and links for editing .provxml files. When I get a chance, I'll post a copy of what I use to help you out.

so where do you put that in rom? in File?? or you just run the reg???
you need to make it as an OEM, your OEM folder should contain an RGU, a DSM and an option.xml
Post Moved to Q&A Forum
i try set the time zone in the file \OEM\OperatorPkg\mxipupdate_oemoperators_105.provxml
and didn't work
Check if there isn't another provxml with the same information and also try to edit your default.hv and user.hv

Hello,
I have a question.
For a answer i already looked around at the net and have read some threads at xda, modaco, and some site at msdn.
The short version: how do i remove a dir from the register with a .xml file?
The long version:
I need to remove a dir from the registry.
I opened a new text document and saved it as _setup.xml.
In this .xml file i wrote:
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
After that i opened Quickcab in the first field I put in by application name 1 and by owner 1.
By the second screen I add the _setup.xml file to the windows folder
At the next screen i do nothing and click on create.
I save it as _setup.cab.
After the .cab file is maked i move it to my phone and run it from my phone.
It says that evreything is installed and so on.
But when i reboot my device nothing happened and the dir. at the register is still there.
What am i doing wrong?
Do i need to put something more in the .cab file?
Moved as not ROM Development.
don't think you really understand xml
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML
xml can't do anything at all on it's own it's a model language which needs to be interpreted by another program
it's not a programming or batch language
Hi,
I believe your xml file should look somthing like this:
To delete a value:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<!-- Delete a registry value under the following key -->
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Second Test Key">
<noparm name="Value To Delete" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
To delete a key (or a dir as you call it):
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<!-- Delete a registry key, with all its values and subkeys -->
<nocharacteristic type="HKLM\Software\RegKey To Delete" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Cheers,
/Cacti

le_cactus thank you for helping out i am trying this out tonight or tomorrow.
Can i save this in a text file and save it as .xml and then cab it?
Can some one explain how to delete a key in the registry of windows mobile 6.5 by a simple guide ?
Because I am busy making my own rom.
The problem i have is that in the right corner below i have standing I quote: Beta Expires: 05/01/2010
I know you can delete this by going in you registry to hklm/software/microsoft/shell/Devicebeta and delete this key.
But i like to delete this key automatic when i have flashed the rom and not doing it afterwards by going in to the registry.
If i have a problem i try to solving it at my own by reading threads and searching the net for answers but some times i need some help to get it right and to get me on the right track.
I appreciate the help that i get here so thank you all for helping out.
xml to reg and vice versa
First it started for me when I saw an UC capable ROM, from there I too wanted to go from reg/rgu to xml and vice versa After some researching I found several threads concerning my wishes. Within these threads you'll find your desired utilties For the overall clarity I'll start with the beginning;
[App] ROM Flashing Junkies: User Customization is here!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
see the UC related software tools
Within this thread there is an application called SDConfig creator which was created by DoeDoe's. Currently it is replaced by;
[Release] UC ROM SDConfig.txt Builder (reborn) [Prikolchik Ed.]

I'm using PHM Registry Editor it allows me to do the following tasks:
Explore the registry to find the operating system and applications configuration,
modify system and applications tweeks not available from the standard options screens,
export all or parts of the registry to .reg files,
backup and restore the complete registry and
perform search on the registry data
