function in config.txt

Hi Folks,
testing with my config.txt on my XDAIII i found some settings i dont understand!
1.) SHOW:\Extended_ROM\TMO_WallPaper.bmp
i think it should show the bitmap during config.txt is running
tried to use some background pictures (320 x 240) but get an error message at Hardreset that the bmp file is not a valit install file for device.
i dont have the original .BMP file so i cant see what format it has to have!
can anybody tell me the format the picture must have and how to run this feature??
2.) CFG: \Storage\config.txt
watfor is this setting?
this entry is found normally at last line of config.txt.
But i find it useless because the path to config has to be set BEVORE run the hardreset.
Does anybody know more about this setting?
maybe there is a list and description of all functions config.txt has ??

Pauli,
I think you're on the right track with config.txt. But how did you manage to change the ext-rom content? I guess that's what everyone over here likes to know.

I have changed to a bigstore Rom and let automatic install all software from the "storage"!
Autorun is able to do this when you change some things!
Any further details about my question ?

Need a favor from anybody who has a Dopod577w with Wm6 Perfect English Edition ROM

Guys i need ur help, could any of u paste the default Registry, STRING Values of the SMSToolsPack located in:
HKCU\Software\dopod\SMSPack\
I think there are 5 or 6 String Values under SMSPack.
SMSToolsPack(shows as SMS Pack in the text messages popupmenu), BkGenius(shows as SMSBackup), SMSFilterSet(SMSFilter), and SmsSearch(SMSSearch). I was just renaming them but somehow i must have done something wrong and i dnt know how to revert it back w/out having to do a hardreset i forgot their default values i should have wrote the down first but i didnt. i would very appreciate it if any of you guys could copy and paste the default value....tnx guys.

Here you are:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\dopod\SMSPack]
@="\Windows\SMSToolsPack.exe"
"Backup"="\Windows\BkGenius.exe -131"
"Filter"="\Windows\SMSFilter.exe -129"
"Group"="\Windows\SMSGroup.exe -130"
"Search"="\Windows\SMSSearch.exe -132"

WM 6.1 BJ 2 (can't edit cpr, reg)

I have searched for hours on this, and I bet it is right under my nose, but i could not find it.
I upgraded my BJ2 with windows mobile 6.1 standard. I have added PHM reg editor, CHome Config. I cannot edit the reg, and chrome config gives me errors when starting saying it can't write to reg.
I am trying to figure out how I can edit my cpr files cause right now, 6.1 will not let me over write or edit the file.
Any idea of what I am missing?
TIA
-Z-

Ok i figured out how to make the CHome Config work. never mind that worked for 1 time. but i can't make it work again. getting error back on CHome Config again saying it cannot write to registery.
this is what I did for that:
HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies
key 00001005 changed value 16 to 40
still can't get the *.cpr file over wrote or copied to the windows folder. The error says I don't have permission to replace it.

You can't overwrite it via WMDC anyway
To unlock a registry to overwrite it via ActiveSync or device's File Explorer (Resco Explorer):
Download regeditSTG2 which is digitally signed: http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/387522/regeditSTG2.zip
Then install it and change some registry values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2
-> change to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16
-> change to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128
-> change to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> create new key "0000101a": Dword = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> create new key "0000101b": Dword = 1"

Erofich, I tried that and change those values and added the keys. Still not working.
I still can't edit, delete, copy in the windows directory of the phone.

have you did a reboot of your device after these changes?

yep...
the file in ur link is broken. so I used CeRegEditor changed all the things fthat u mentioned and done a soft reset, plus I even tried turning the phone off and back on. still can't do anything in the windows folder.

What app are you using - WMDC or ActiveSync?

ActiveSync - but wait, i am on vista so really I am using WMDC
I can't use activesync on vista.
I tried using the file explorer on the phone.
I first try to copy the edited file over the no edited file.. Error - I am making sure that the home screen is not set to Sliding panel, as I am trying to edit the CHome_320x240.cpr file.
Next I tried to delete the cpr file from the windows directory - Error - You can't delete file from rom
Then I tried to rename the file in the windows directory, still won't work.
I am not sure on this, but I have read people are editing these files, I just don't understand why I can copy mine to my PC, edit it, but I can't get it back on the phone.

Hi, Can you plz share info on how to delete or overwrite files in the windows dir for WM 6.1.
Thanks,

How did you manage to edit the registry? I changed one value (0000 1005 to 40) and now I can't edit anything else. Several programs I've used flat out won't let me change the registry. I keep getting "access denied" on all of them.

Registry key in .cpr file

Does anyone know how to refere to a registry in a .cpr file.
For example, if I want to add a text on my titanium plugin, and in my registry it's in located in HKLM\Software\whatever\text1, how can I get the .cpr to read the value inside that string?
For some reason wm6.5 knows that it can get values from the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome key, but how can I get it from another key?
Would be realy awesome if someone could help, that way there would be quite a bit more to edit in wm6.5...

Does nobody have any idea?
I read that it is the same language as in .xml files, so how do I add a registry value to a text line?

don't know the format or the program which use cpr files
but if the cpr file include the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome"
then I would change it
if not then the program which interp the cpr files prob have
the parth hard-coded in it's binary code

I know the reg. path is in the binary code of a program,
but can't read or edit that.
But, my question is if someone knows the .xml code to read from a registery value.
fe: the code for a picture is [ source="\Windows\photo1.png" ]
to read something from a .dll file is [ InnerTextType="Resource" Text="shellresapps.dll,18149" ]

How to delete a registry value with a .reg file?

Hi XDA ppl,
How to delete a registry value with a .reg file? The standard hyphen approach doesn't seem to work. I tried it like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItem"=-
This should delete the TestItem but it refuses to do so. Does anyone knows the trick?

I don't know how to do it with a reg key, but you can do it this way with a mortscript:
Code:
RegDelete("HKLM","\Software\Test","TestItem")

here you go!

Sounds odd! can you tell me the heading of your provxml file? it is xml or provxml? what tool do you use to import? can you post the actual code of the file?

Hi, usually I create a cab file from .reg files with CeRegEditor (ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl). If I create new keys/ values everything works just fine. Just deleting doesn't work.
In the end I installed the kilmist registry editor trial to double check cause it can import .reg files directly, but its the same problem: deleting doesn't work.
Here the exact code of the files I tried:
-- File 1: create a test key with 2 values... works fine ------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItemOne"=dword:00000001
"TestItemTwo"=dword:00000001
-- File 2: try to delete 1 value... fails ---------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItemOne"=-
-- File 3: try to delete the whole key... fails too ----------------------
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]

your files seem ok.
while you find th solution I recommend to add postxml to your cab to delete the unwanted keys. nocharacteristic and nopar should allow you to delete whatever needed.
two hints: check the encoding of the files and check the order. make one cab for the additions and another for the substractions just in case the cab tries to delete the key before it is created. sorry i can not help more !! please, pm when you find what was it

Try:
Save your .reg file as Unicode not ANSI, start your .reg file with
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
In the first line. And leave one blank empty line at the end of the .reg file.
Did it work?

Nope, doesn't work either.
I put Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 in the first line, encoded it 8-bit unicode and made sure theres a blank line at the end (always did that). all to no avail.
Btw, I'm running WM 6.1 on a TP2. I really wonder if its working at other phones / WM versions, or this is a "universal" problem.
thx anyway, Tobias
