I know you can get them from other places either in CAB or in OEM Packages. However, it's just too difficult to get them all together.
So I present you some of the OEM packages which I collected, extracted or created for use in my ROM.
1. The first one is taken from Schaps' ROM. It's a 3G-Battery with Indicator. I didn't ask Schaps' permission for this. I hope he's cool with it.
2. O2 Backup is taken from O2 Life and has been fixed to work on all devices. It allows you to backup PIM & My Documents data
3. O2 SMS Plus v1.6 is also taken from O2 Life. It's sorta like SMS Threaded applications. It also allows you to send/receive vCard from other dumb phones. It also support group SMS & Scheduled SMS
4. HTC Album v1.1030.720. Taken from a CAB file with fixed English Interface (Originally Chinese). You can choose which Folder to browse.
Here are another 4 Packages:
1. Newer version of HTC Home v2.1.105.722
2. Adobe Flash Lite v2.1 with the Cool HTC Animation from Schaps
3. Schaps' Advance Configuration v1.1
4. Palm Threaded SMS with fixed database folder. Instead of in Windows Directory, I patched the database to be stored on 'My Documents' folder for easy backup. You need to rename your backup SMS data from 'PalmMsgv001' to 'Palm01' and copy it to 'My Documents' folder.
Another 4 Packages
1. KeepAlive is a very old freeware from WinCE days. It prevents your PPC from turning Off. It's very usefull when you need to let you device on all the time.
2. PowerOff is another old freeware from Scott Seligman. It just shows a tiny PowerOff buttons at the Today Screen.
3. O2 Smart Text is also taken from O2 Life. It's just another thumb inputs with T9 capability. Good for One-Handed Operation
4. Picsel PDF Viewer. Taken from PPCGeeks. A superb PDF viewer compared to Adobe offering.
I downloaded all but I couldn't install even a single one.
These are not cab files nor installation .exe files nor a folder placed in the machine to run off with.
What are they? If these are for ROM cooking only then they are outside what most of us want to deal with.
These are OEM packages for ROM cooking and since this is the upgrading forum its the right place for things like this to be posted (IMO).
I personally wouldn't mind a separate forum for cooking, as some of the questions here are rather 'off topic' from ROM upgrading (flashing) or cooking, since installing an application is not an UPGRADE in any sense of the word...
Until then, it seems like this is the right place for this...
Thanks for your contributions [email protected]...
wow...a package for palmsms...hopefully it works.
Thanks for the packages! Am sure some cookers will find these handy!
how to benefit from thsoe if you are not a cook?
Hello,
a lot of thsoe packages look really useful, but, noby uses them so far in the offical release ROMs.
Cooking your ownROM still sounds intimidaing to me (and mybe others), so is there an easy to get thsoe as cab files, or is it posible to cook a delta ROM just adding those pakcages to one of the release ROMS?
Thanks
Juju
As requested by you here or via PM. Here are the CAB files for the OEM packages.
The 3G Battery Level will replace a system file. So you need to install Certificate CAB to allow the installation.
For Keep Alive, PowerOff, Advance Configuration, just copy the execute file to your Kaiser. No installation is needed.
HTC Home & Album CABs are widely available so I won't post them again. To change the HTC Album to English menu (from Chinese) you need to copy the 'RFileShell.dll' from Resco Explorer english Version.
Enjoy!
There is another nice application called O2 Theme which works well with kaiser. This is the WM6 version of O2 Plus. To learn about this, you can go to this thread I posted in Athena board:

Subject: M8 help hint
hello developers
your product M8 is very good!
one more idea, to improve usability:
make an option to let keyboard appear from top of screen, till the middle.
the reason is: some applications have text input field at the bottom, but doesn't recognize keyboard allocated this place. and doesn't redraw it's input field higher (on the top of new appeared keyboard), so application text input field becoming invisible until the end of input.
another solution on same problem:
make your keyboard application it's own temporary input window on top of keyboard.
(it may optionally include increased font size for better visibility on street)
will be waiting for your reply, and a new version
thanks
now, let's wait for new release of it (under name of O2 or standalone M8)
Palm Threaded SMS changed database folder

4. Palm Threaded SMS with fixed database folder. Instead of in Windows Directory, I patched the database to be stored on 'My Documents' folder for easy backup. You need to rename your backup SMS data from 'PalmMsgv001' to 'Palm01' and copy it to 'My Documents' folder.

I guess this is somewhat helpful because it's easier to back up the My Documents folder than find PalmMsgv001 in \Windows and back that up.
However, I hardly ever put anything into \My Documents because of the chance of forgetting about backing it up before flashing a new ROM. Hopefully someday we'll see a Threaded Messaging app that has more options - like save folder, and font size (the font is so tiny!). That's why I liked TxtMan - but it crashes too often, and isn't completely integrated into the Windows messaging system.
if someone could fix palm to work on the kaiser thatd be fabalous.. i know im jumping off topic but im willing to offer up $25.00!
here is the O2plus 2.3 cab , working on touchpro
I am trying to us the tweak that prevents the screen going to sleep during a call but as I am a newbie I do not know how to use Ceregeditor which I have installed on my pc.
I have connected my cruise via activesync and ran Ceregeditor. I can locate what value I am to change but I cannot change it. I get access denied error. I obviously am missing something which would allow me to change the value.
Can someone please let me know the correct steps to take?
Thank you
Why don't you try Resco Explorer with Resco registry. Very easy to use programme. So you can make your registry changes from the device itself.

I am only a newbie and have never used a registry editor before and so have only downloaded a free editor. I had not planned to edit regularly but if i can make this work i may become more confident and may make more use of a editor. I believe Resco is an excellent editor but as of yet i don't require it when basically i can get one free for the one or two edits i may try.
Thank you for your opinion.
Try Total Commander registry editor:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
It's free and I have used it on the TC so I know it works.
Hi,
hopefully someone can help me out a bit.
I want the original System Info application back. It has been replaced by resco explorer..
Tried hours of searching the internet, a lot of people have the 'problem', but no solution.
Who can be so kind as to provide me with the original contents of registry key:
[HKEY_LM] \software\microsoft\shell\rai\:rsysteminfo
and the shortcut "System Info" located in \Windows\Start Menu\
But only if you're not using the Registry Tool from Resco, because chances are.. you have the 'wrong' info there too..
I suppose SKTools or Mobile Registry Editor users can provide the info.
Thanks and Cheers,
Roel
Edit:
I see a lot of reads.. but no replies.. it's a very simple request. I guess I forgot to say please..
Here it is then: Please help me out?
Can someone here tell me how to edit my registry without a downloaded registry editor? Before you reply about just downloading one i want to know what microsoft uses to edit the registry kinda like regedit in windows! I have read here and you have a lot of useful info! So i kinda figured i would ask some of you guys.Thanks in advance! I am sorry i meant to put i have a HTC touch pro running windows mobile 6.1!!!
there is no build in regeditor in wm
but you can write reg commands in a console of
cause you have to download a console program to fire
them but when you do you can just write the same commands
as stated in the .reg file
Any idea what microsoft uses? Do their techs have to install a third party app? If so i would like to know what one they use! It seems silly not to be able to edit the registry with the operating system!!???? Is windows mobile a client OS????? Maybe if i can find that .reg file i can maybe open it in word or something and edit it! But it just doesnt make any sense to me I have dealt with every os in the windows family besides these and for every one there was a way to edit this!
microsoft doesnt do most of their development on the phones themselves, they have direct access to registry through the builders and emulators. if you want to do registry edits on the phone itself, get a third party program. it wont kill you. i recommend total commander, its a full file browers thats less restrictive and can edit the registry, it has a text editor, ftp client, and can do windows sharing. it can apparently import .reg files but i havent figured that out yet.

Total Commander is an excellent app to add to your phone. Access the regedit part from Plugins/registry. Usual caveat, backup before making changes.
For the last week, I haven't had any luck finding answers to this stuff.
First order of business:
NetFront Browser is, in my opinion, the only mobile browser; so I'm cooking it into the ROM. But, I want the IE hotkey to open it - I can't find the reg entry, anywhere. Is it part of a library?
Second order:
Generally, how do I add new regs in SuperJust?
Show me a screenshot of what hotkey you're talking about?
Sorry what I meant by hotkey is the [alt]+[right arrow] command which opens IE by default.
But I found a shortcut (by accident!) ---
You can edit "\Windows\short_ie.lnk" to any location, using SPB Plus or Total Commander.
However, I can't find this link file in any of the Kitchen directories to have it readied to the ROM... and I'm still unclear on how to add the new registry entries I have that will bypass the SPB Shell & Netfront activations.
Oh, for educational purposes of course
Look at Ivans Justhome files in the kitchen i believe he has edited a hotkey in his reg. Not 100% sure though.
