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

Thanks brykins, I found 1 file inside the path named 'smartdialing enable....cab' but nothing happen after installed. It's seems no more cab files seems like about smartdailing stuff.
Any idea? Or something built in the rom?

No idea....I'm probably going to hard reset later today and re-install now that I know what software I am using on WM5, so I'll see what of the EXT_ROM I install and what one gives the dialer.

Okay - have reset and installed:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\CAB-Customization-Connection-TMUK-Charmer-Nov15.sa.CAB - Add T-Mobile Internet Settings
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_EnableATAbortSTKCall.sa.CAB - enables ATAbortSTKCall
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Signed_GPRS_PAP.CAB - changes default GPRS auth to PAP
CAB: \Extended_ROM\SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB - enables smartdialling
And also the extracted soft-key customising menus and everything works fine. I think these are about the minimum that needs to be installed from the T-Mobile EXT_ROM

dopod 818 pro cabs in ext rom any help?
I recently upgraded to the prophet. There is smart dialing available. But it seems the prog is embedded in the OS, or maybe another hidden extrom?
I unlocked my extrom and it is listed as Extrom2. This is about 10MB. The files in Extrom2 are mostly autoconfig cabs for all the different telcos. Plus voice commander & several customization cabs. Only a 70K cab smart-dialing enable cab, no other smart dialing cabs.
the dopod pro has 47+MB storage space available plus the 10mb extrom1 is only 57MB. Plus the WM5.0 OS, which is about 32MB gives 89MB. Where is the rest? We have 128MB ROM. Eten M600 has 80+MB available space. I'm missing about 39MB somewhere. Could it be there's an ExtRom 1? Any gurus can shed some light here? If anyone can help, I'd be glad to post the smartdialling cab here as I also have an xda2 running wm5.0 with no smartdialling
818 Pro - Chinese Version with NO Intellidialer.....
Please help, my chinese version 818 Pro has no intellidialer built-in.
Can anybody extract it from an English version?
Looking at the contents of the XML file in the SmartDialing_enable CAB posted by mwilmar......it looks like in addition to the SmarDialing_enable CAB file, you also need to get copies IntelliDialer.htm and DPadMenu.dll from the \Windows directory of someone with the 2.2 version of Smart Dialing.
Try copying all 3 files (the CAB file, IntelliDialer.htm and DPadMenu.dll) into your WM5 \Windows directory. Then tap on the CAB file which will hopefully update the registry with the necessary settings.
If anyone can get me those files, I'm happy to try on my XDA Atom.

Just tried to alter the config.txt inside the ExtRom2, after a soft-reset, the Text file restored to its initial content, all my alterations had gone.
Seems that there really a ExtRom "1" stuff, ExtRom2 is just like a temperory storage.
And, had tried to use the Rom unlocker
http://www.pxdxa.com/read.php?tid=8272&keyword=ext rom
after running the unlocker, it told me to "Unlock ExtRom First"!! So, there should be an ExtRom, but cannot be easily exposed. still trying ....
I need the Smartdialer too, has an Eng version 818Pro Rom in hand now, it has Smartdialer built-in.

I tried this on my PPC-6700 just to see if it would work and it did not add Smartdialing for me. I copied the 3 files shown above into the Windows folder and I then ran the cab. After the cab installed I checked the dialer app to see if the smartdialing option was there and it was not. I tried a soft reset and checked again and no joy. Anybody know how to add this feature to my device?

Any gurus can shed light on this ExtRom1 and ExtRom2??
I think the feature is embedded in the phone application,,if we can get the file "cprog.exe" from any working WM5 pocket pc with the smart dial working in it + the button to turn the speaker on in the dial pad also,,,getting this file might get things working (i suppose), I tried to get it out of a K-jam but I couldnt,,maybe if someone have dumped the rom can help us
...
I think that's not in cprog.exe. I have a ROM dumped from Himalaya(1.71.64) and from Wizard(1.3.2.5 CSY). Wizard has SmartDialer,Hima not. I've tried today to scan both registries for any differences about and have found much more keys/values about smartdialing. There are these files with same filesize. Anyway here they are including registry values,that are in Wizard.
Smart dialling for himalaya wm5

How to install this intellidialer to himalaya WM5 having ROM VER 1.65b96? Regards.....chandra

I want to install and use,but I don't know how. Nothing,that I have tried,isn't working. I am not able alone to port it to the Himalaya WM5 and noone want/unable to help me. Someone?

Changing OEM *.lnk (shortcuts) paths before cooking ?

hum... i have here a noob question about basic cooking ...
because the lack of roms in my native language... i started to **** my own ...
i have one simple question ...
i now have folders with icons in /programs
and i have a problem,.. how can i arrange the shortcuts in the folders ?
for example.. in packages i edit the "initflashes" and i can change the path of the shortcut to wherever i want...
but how i can change in OEM stuff ? like ACTIVESYNC ? ... i can see the application.exe and the link.lnk em OEM folder... but how can i set the path to the link ?
sry my english ... i dont know if i explained well what i want :\
thanks
Use OEMizer, it's very helpful to create shortcuts.
The simplest way is to modify customization script in OperatorPKG (OEM folder) i think.
I do it this way.
Add to config_operator.txt this line:
XML: \WINDOWS\your_xml.xml
And now create your own XML with description of operations you would like to do.
Examples
Move shortcut:
Code:
<characteristic type="FileOperation">
<characteristic type="\Windows\Nabídka Start\Programy\Nástroje" translation="install">
<characteristic type="MakeDir"/>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="\Windows\Nabídka Start\Programy\Nástroje\Správce SIM.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Copy">
<parm name="Source" value="\Windows\Nabídka Start\Programy\Správce SIM.lnk" translation="install"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="\Windows\Nabídka Start\Programy\Správce SIM.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Delete">
<parm name="ForceDelete"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
Change registry values:
Code:
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today" translation="filesystem" >
<parm name="Date" datatype="integer" value="1" />
<parm name="Enabled" datatype="integer" value="1" />
</characteristic>

i think have better solution.. go to the oem after to oem lang 409
and open with notepad the initflashfiles.dat

im working on this rom
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_PTG_3.28.410.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship
maybe because its an old release ... (but its the only release in my native language )
ill try the custom .XML trick
the OEMizer is a nice tool ... but i think its only to create new shortcuts right ?
what i want to do is to move the existent shortcuts in OEM to inside my folders...
its possible that OEMizer make that to... but for now ill try the custom solution...
thanks all
used OEMizer... i figured out how it works ... i just get duplicated shortcuts... but its easy to fix... just have to remove the shortcuts in oemapps ...
but i saw now that i have another problem in this field..
because my native language (portuguese) have special charecters like: ã , ç , á .. etc...
when i created the folders..
Directory("\Windows\Menu Iniciar\Programas\Aplicações"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\icon.lnk")
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the special characters doesnt appear :\ ...
Aplicações -> Aplicaes
errr ... isnt possible to make special charecters in initflashes to create the folders ?
thanks
You must have initflashfiles.dat in your kitchen. But it's hidden. You must set up the file manager to "show hidden and system files".
About special characters... You must save result in UTF-16 LE encoding.

hum... i have allways "show hidden and system files" in explorer
but when i get home ill do an dos attrib to double check ...
in the bed .. i remembered that enconding option.. (here is UTF-8) .. ill try later .. hope that isnt a initflashes limitation in special characters
one more question ... i used OEMizer to make some shortcuts for OEM stuff like ActiveSync and others... but the icons dont show up ... hum.. i read something before about that problem but i cant find it :\
(i was thinking that would be great if someone can make an "noob" FAQ for cooking with this little questions to help the people that is starting in the cooking buisness)
Faria once created a nice tutorial on how to cook those things. I think I have the link in the Hermes Kitchen link down in my sign. Check that out!

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.

Removing something from registry with .xml

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,

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
Have fun everyone with editing/creating/modifying/wrecking,

Modyfying StartMenu directory structure with a CAB file

Hello
I bumped into problems when I tried to make a provxml file which would modify the directory structure and/or change the link names inside StartMenu\Programs folder.
I wrote whole long provxml script using some found tutorials, then I put the provxml as _setup.xml inside a CAB file (with a Windows XP makecab.exe). But every time I try to run the CAB on the device I have the error that Installation unsuccessful because of too small rights to install.
I also try to run the provxml directly via CeRegEditor, but it gives me the "Access Denied" communicate.
Then I tried to shorten the provxml because I thought I made some mistake in the script itself, but even when I try to the following very simple script to create one single folder and copy a link to this folder without even changing it's name, it still gives me the same rights error:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="FileOperation">
<characteristic type="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Narzędzia" translation="install">
<characteristic type="MakeDir" />
<characteristic type="PIM Backup.lnk">
<characteristic type="Copy">
<parm name="Source" value="%CE11%\Tools\PIM Backup.lnk" translation="install"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Do I need any special certificate to be able to modify the folders/files in StartMenu? I can do it without problems using Total Commander, but I want to make it more "automatic" after flash or HR.
I tried to use MortScript, and it worked fine, but in order to run the script I have to install MortScript application first. And I want to avoid installing any unnecessary software as Jackos ROMs are clean as a teardrop...
Thanks in advance for any help
