hi there,
As you will guess by my question and post count i am a fully fledged n00b and have just bought the o2 xda orbit.
It such a great forum and enjoying reading all these mod's however there is one slight problem...
...how do you add them all?! i can obviously download all the files etc to my desktop (PC) but how do i then get them to install and work on my xda? e.g. quickgps mod, emulators, themes etc?
i imagine its very easy to answer and thanks in advance
just sync ur pda to pc,some progs will require a simple click ,if this needs you to do more on the device it will prompt you
other will need transfering onto your memory card and activating from your pda
i used this method with trail and error
good luck buddy
yeah ive tried syncing it and it does connect but then unsure of where to put the files.
For example i have the file to update the quickgps to locate quicker. Its in a .arm file and inside that is one file which is quick~g.000. I dont know whether to put the .arm or .000 onto the xda and when i have found that out in which folder do it put it when on explore of the XDA through activesync?
Thanks for the reply.
massive help and all understood now. tried both cab and exe files and both work great, thanks alot

I have been using many kitchens over the past year. Cooking horrible roms, decent ones and now a pretty good one. My problem was always the various tools lying all over my hard drive. Luckily I came across this litte gem by Ervius
Package Tools and BuildOS rolled into one. I also noticed that it handles rgu files much better than the previous BuildOS, it choked on an incorrect rgu file. Which in turn allowed me to get Video working in HTC Album 2
I have modified the batch files for our Wizards and have been cooking and im loving it
PackageTools+BuildOS (Latest combined version)
rgu-2-xml : Convert .rgu to provxml files
SYSVersion : Generates a version list of your SYS Folder
All the usual build tools :G'Reloc, M'Reloc, ImgFS Tools
AllPackagesToOne - Protect your rom from being ripped apart and the whole world being able to share in your utter cooking brilliance, via a tickbox ofcourse
Automatic Find and Fix duplicate file errors during BuildOS process
More features which I am either too lazy to list or dont use at all
Just add SYS,ROM and OEM folders. It also have a nice feature which allows you to select OEM Packages and save it as a preconfigured rom. Extra OEM packages can be placed in a Packages folder. BuildOS will load those files also (No more OEM's all over your hard drive).
BuildOS also runs G'Reloc during the dump process, but for good measure I also included it in the batch file.
Also added -conservative to the Imgfs Tools portion of the script to protect against overcook
BuildOS generates pretty log files which shows where stuff went wrong
Extract the zip file. Run Kitchen.exe and watch the magic at work.
Note
For some reason the output window text is black on a black background, but at the top is a nice running status. If not sure just hilight the output window.
If you start up and It complains about folders just create them

It does, in the prettiest little tick box you have ever seen, just below the Output Window. One of the really cool features of this version of BuildOS is the ability to scan for and fix duplicate files
sounds really impressive! downloading...
I'll recook my rom with it and let you know how it went
where should I extract this kitchen?
Error: pkgdll is missing
Never mind. copied it to the same folder as the kitchen.exe
I cant cook... .net problems
Many problems with the kitchens... why I cant install .net frameworks more than 2.0 that i have why... cause It said on every reinstalation missing file the installer will be quit! GOD DAmn... I think I need to reformat my PC and almost backup 40 GB info or... does anybody has an utiliti that erase all of anay program that stucks on uninstall or repair or install? i need to kill those .Net frameworks.

What OS are you running on your pc ? .net 2.0 and higher really like XP Sp2. Do a google search for CCleaner and "Uninstall Utility" this might help before you format dude.
Errors I am facing:
can not find \ROM folder
Windows can not open this file: OS.NB.Payload
Windows can not open this file: OS.NB.extra
BuildOS: Error, can not find ROM Folder!!!
Where are these files supposed to go? can you provide a tree map?
Can you also tell me what exe opens what file?
I'm almost having to pour cold water over my self
The main issue is not knowing where the ROM folder is supposed to go.
Also, not being able to see what the thing is doing (black on black) is really frustrating me also.
When you get a chance, let me (us) know how to use this cooker. it looks like it can do a lot more than I'm used to... but at the moment I am finding it useless.

I really wish I could decompile and just fix the black on black issue. Coz it is a simple case of just changing the font. Unfortunatly it is not written in .net like the previous BuildOS, so no luck there
This should be your default layout:
Base Folder-
->Compile Tools (OS.nd encoding tools)
->Flash (Created by Batch file, your new OS.nd ends up here)
->OEM (I like to put the BASE OEM Folders in here OEMAPPS etc)
->Packages (This is where I drop my custom OEM folders)
->ROM (OS.nb XIP,romhdr.bin lives here)
->SYS (Yeah well we know this one)
The error you are getting is when you try and extract a rom with Package Tools in the kitchen. Here is the procedure:
Create a base folder, I normally use Base_Buildnumber_Device
Select your Dump Type in the bottom check boxes, either a folder where you have already dumped a rom or an *.nb,*.nbf type file
Start your kitchen and select Open on the Package Tools tab.
Browse to the folder you have just created select the folder of rom file based on the above selection
Package tools will now extract the rom and create OEM and SYS Folders if possible
In case of cooking which I believe you are after:
Create the above folder structure with all files in place
Select BuildOS tab
Click Load Rom
Edit OEM's etc and just press Go

Dude I battled to get the whole thing running as the tut's where for Kaiser and the tools were abandoned by the looks of it. But once i started using the cool right click and import package features I was sold.
Sorry. double post.

That may be what I am missing. how do I extract that?
I Have OS.nb; XIP.bin XIPfolder

Yeah I realised now that when I zipped up the Kitchen I left pkgcommon.dll in the Tools folder, this should be copied to the same folder as Kitchen.exe.
Your error however comes from me not stating the .net Framework 2.0 or highers is required. I take these for granted since I have Visual Studio installed on my machine anyway
Hi All,
I'm still looking for a way to either decrypt or extract an apk from an SEUS signed/encrypted firmware.
I've tried the Sin_Reconstructor and I've tried replacing the JAR file in plugins with the one provided, but this still seems to simply download the same encrypted files it always has.
I tried to use the other plugin that was supposed to do a dump such as dump0.zip and dump1.zip however this didn't work either.
I'm using SEUS and not Pc Companion to try and get this all done.
Is there a guide anywhere out there on the net for decrypting seus firmwares. I've tried and tried and just can't seem to work out how its done.
I want to learn as much as possible, and once I've done the learning I'd love to give back everything I learn, but without understanding the basics it just feels I'm dead in the water.
Any help from anyone would be greatly apreciated.
Just out of curiousity why do you want to extract it from a signed firmware? From what I gather the decrypted roms are no different just without branding. As well I think actually decrypting rom's is for people with some solid experience in the field. If you want to get your feet wet with extracting and modifying apk's go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714288 . I am completely new to programming as well and this is what I have learned so far. Good luck and learning android is a blast!
BTW the link only really covers visual mods. For learning android coding this is a great place to start: http://developer.android.com/index.html
the Android's SDK not contain an Android device emulator ?
If yes, you can mount the Fw on this VM and extract the APK to an sdcard emulated (HD) ...
The System's APK is in /system/app
paid APK : /data/app

So you can mount SEUS encrypted firmware on the VM now? When did that start?
Hi.
One of the most frequently request i think is this: "Is there any way to convert cab or exe files into .xap ones?"
I haven't found anything about. Can you help me understanding if there is a possibility for this problem? I have an important app in .exe format i would install on my Samsung Omnia 7. Can you help me?
Tnx from south Italy.
Bye
Nico
Apps for wm <= 6.5 cannot be launched in wp7
but there has to be a way to translate .cab files , this OS is based partially at least on CE , and .cab files are in CE
I think the main problem is not the underlying OS, but the GUI is completely different. To put it simply, 6.5 and under had a different way of handling how apps looked and reacted on screen.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
i want to know if there is a good file explorer for a chevron/interop unlocked samsung focus?
WP7 Root Tools if your device is Developer unlocked and Interop unlocked. But what good is a file explorer for WP7?
WP7 Root Tools is what you want! The version 0.7 alpha is installed on My phone. You can find it in this forum.
thanks! That was what i was looking for
Could anyone please explain whats the use of a file explorer, except for creating provxml folder?
you are able to have a look in every folder. so you might be interested which files are stored within your apps, or you want to change some config files, or load dlls for further analysis on your pc ;-)
Is TouchExplorer a goos solutions ?
