Extraction of .cab files from a ROM - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Does anyone know a way to extract .cab files from a ROM? The Case:
i've got a HTC Touch branded as "VPA Touch" by vodafone with vodafone's ROM (WM6Pro), but i'm using an O2-germany SIM-card (O2's ROM is older than vodafone's) and now i'm looking for a way to extract the homezone util's .cab. My attempts to find v2r's homezone utility on the web were not successful and the battery status plugin does not work properly on that phone.

Network Setup CAB/Package

Hi all
i'm a new rom cooker and i've built my first rom n successfuly flashed it and its all good! One thing i can't find is the Network Setup thing
for example on Duttys Roms when you first boot it asks you to auto setup your Network Provider (Eg Orange UK)
where can i find a cab for this?
also the PACKAGE to use to cook into my rom?
yes i have tried searching but not exactly sure what its called, searching Network Setup doesnt bring anything good up ..
Thanks
Did you try this? Not sure if that is it or not.
ah Dutty made it duuuhhh!! Thats the one many thanks i'll build it myself into a package thanks
Looks like the password for provision.zip is no longer '1234'. Searching and googling didn't locate the new password, does anyone have it?
Connection setup (a.k.a. Network Wizard) is included within my OEM Packages, which can be found in my cooking kit threads.

Found it:
030D681B-1DFC-4bd0-A72A-A9B3CCCDA653
I am able to unzip the new provision.zip with 030D681B-1DFC-4bd0-A72A-A9B3CCCDA653.
I am able to unzip the provision.zip, then the prov.zip and then the individual setting zip files using this PW. But strange thing that is happenning is that when I zip the files again the size of the final provision.zip reduces by about 150KB. And when packed in the Kitchen the utility does not work. where am I going wrong?
Can you kindly guide me?
Actually I was compelled to edit the provision.zip because the settings in it were wrong corresponding to my service provider. So I needed to modify those settings..

Same problem ...
The problem is how to compress, still looking for something similar to a compression, when replacing manually provision.zip this works ... I do not know why? Someone has some solution?

Changing Default Keyboard Skin - WM6.1

Hi all,
I need some advice on doing something that was fairly easy to do in WM6.0 ROMs, which is changing the default keyboard skin by replacing the msim.96.dll.0409.mui file.
I've tried a number of WM6.1 ROMs and this does not work. The only way I have been able to get the .mui file working was to re-cook the ROM and using an OEM package. Even after I re-cook with a new keyboard skin and try to replace the .mui file it does not work. Very strange.
Any of the cooks out there have any ideas why this is? I did a reg. dump of a ROM with and without the keyboard OEM package but did not find anything specific that would show why this does not work.
Appreciate any feedback. I know this works without any issues in WM6.0 ROMs.
Thank you.
Don't know what your doing wrong buddy but most of the time you need to cook the new .mui file in like I always do and i have no issue with the WM6.1 roms ever using the grey keyboard that I always use in my roms. To get this straight your dumping the rom and then copying the new .mui file right over the old file if there is one at all then rebuilding the rom? that is the only way it will work you can't copy over it once you have rebuilt the rom it needs to be cooked in.
austinsnyc,
Thanks for the response.
If I cook the .mui file in a ROM it works fine. The problem is not being able to replace the file (even though the file is overwritten). I was able to do this in WM6.0 ROMs but it doesn't seem this is possible in WM6.1 ROMs and I just wanted to confirm it.
So if I dump, change file, re-cook, works fine. I guess I'll have to do that with any of the new WM6.1 ROMs I end up running.
Thanks again.

Actually you can change it easily via cab install but you need to sign it first. You can try the attached cab, and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1610615&postcount=3 for other skin.
Try this. First import the attached Keyboard Cert registry file (use dotfred's task manager which does registry editing, or resco registry editor). Once you do that, you should be able to use the various keyboard cabs. I've attached one that has like 20 keyboard styles you can choose from (uses mortscript to do this). Choose the one you want, soft reset, and presto...

Extracting V1615 nl setup

Vodafone runs a setup application when the phone is booted after the roms is flashed, it installs some software and sets it up for Vodafones 3G/HSDPA network. Is there a way to extract this? I have the rom, but after running the scoter kitchen extract option I couldn't find anything that might be it...
So is it possible?

You mean the Network Wizard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332697
I'm still missing some things after installing this.
I used to have a push mail installer from vodafone and I had 4 connections now I have 3. I think I'm missing the mail from the list.
theres couple different things the autorun does. Changes themes, bootscreens, and couple connection settings. I'm assuming you want the connection settings. There are cabs all around for certain connection settings. If you end up doing this yourself, you will have to play around with the kitchen and extract the NBH files. After extracting, all the files would be in the OEMoperator folder.
Yeah i found a bunch of stuff. Not in the oemoperators folder but the operatorpkg.
Is there a way of installing this in a allready installed rom, or should I rebuild and reflash the rom with this in it?
As it looks to me I should probely stuff the entire OEM folder in the new rom...
Use this, its for the dutch operators
This simple tool to automatically setup your data connection
its posible to run the cab with the 1e installation
I managed to rip out and insert the oem from the vodafone rom and insert it in to the rom I wanted to use. I was just wondering if it was posible to create my own OEM package from it, but there are some files (particulary the operator and menu config) that conflict and have to be merged. Is there a process so I can use it on other roms to without having to merge it manualy every time?

nuePower/nueBattery

ok im kind of a newb still when it comes to HTC/wm and i've search around and cant find the answer.... anyways i've been tryin to find out how to install these for my HTC TD2
the link to it is - http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nuePowernueBattery.aspx
any help would be appreciated tyvm XD
It seems to me that file inside archive should be renamed to battdrvr.dll and placed into Windows folder replacing original one. But I don’t want to experiment with my device.
that cant be the only thing i have to do right?
It’s pretty weird to make something then have no installation instructions because I have no idea how to install it correctly >.<
It says on the site that there are 2 one for CDMA and one for GSM phones so I downloaded the GSM one since my provider is rogers = GSM/3G which came with a dll but is that all I need for the 1% increment and the FastCharge mode? Do I need to install the nuePowerCPL? And I tried installing the cab but nothing appeared so I downloaded the OEM package and dragged it into program files but that didn’t do anything either so I’m very confused.
anyone?
You have to put .dll in windows directory (and to be sure in app's directory) and install CPL (cab version, OEM is for ROM cooks).
theres also a batt dll in that folder i forgot the name but its not the same as the nuebattery one do i replace that one with the nuebattery dll or just copy it in?

[help] Navi Panel

Hi all,
i need your help, is there any cab file to install Navi Panel for rom that not ship with this application. i'm using stock rom in Malaysia.
navi panel
I think it is ship on all rom, it is just hidden in de windows folder.
just copy the NaviPanel exe. from the window folder and copy it to your Windows/startmenu or window/startmenu/extra folder. Now it wil show up in Start or start/extra folder. It wil start Navipanel. Only thing is that there is no exit option to close Navipanel. I use Taskmanger to close Navipanel.
If you have tomtom running, Just make a copy of your TOMTOM folder and rename this folder "copilot ", In your "now" called copilot folder rename the navigator exe. to copilot as well. Now replace the original Copilot folder with the new tomtom- called copilot folder.
Now Navipanel and footprint will use TomTom as navigator.
It is actually missing in some ROMs, like french Orange rom.
I cannot find it in my ROM too. The device from Singapore Starhub.

Then, it might seems to be the same for Singapore too. I am still waiting for the car kit to arrive in Singapore.
could someone post the file up for those that dont have?
^_^ thanks.
I extracted navipanel.exe and some of the corresponding files found by executabilitycheck.exe, try if it works.
Unfortunately on my 1.43 french rom it doesn't display anything but a white screen in landscape and an empty messagebox. It could be the missing mui...
same here. v1.48 WWE. just white screen.
Ok, second shot. Now included all files, checked with dependency walker.

Please post a cab to install the Navi Panel. We don't have it here on the Asian ROM's..
Could anyone with running NaviPanel post the content of the Regkey to start Navipanel Service? Should be located in HKLM/Services/Naviservice.
Don't know name and content of the Naviservice key though.
I want to install the Navipanel from the scratch on a custom ROM which unfortunately doesn't have the files in it. I already downloaded the files from another thread but i am still missing the regkeys for the services and the german mui files. ATM I renamed the 0409 muis to 0407. Don't know if it works, because I cannot start the service yet. Help would be very appreciated.
Olioaglio
I would be glad if someone with german HD2 ROM (1.61/2.02)
could attach the following files for me:
alksdk.dll
aygshell.dll
coredll.dll
coredll.dll.0407.mui
htcAfe.dll
HTCNaviMgr.dll
NaviPanel.exe
NaviPanel.exe.0407.mui
NaviService.dll
NaviService.dll.0407.mui
ole32.dll
ResLoader.dll
VerInfou2.dll
All located in Windows folder. Thanks in advance.
