menu_operation.xml

Hi,
I have installed on my Kaiser the following ROM RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40. 02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe.rar.
So far so good - it works.
I have created a new ROM (based on this ROM) with some more application - so far so good.
Nevertheless, I have tried to move some *.lnk (\windows\start menu\programs) to some new folder (\windows\start menu\tools, ....) with editiong the Menu_Operation.xml file in xkaiserkitchen_01-20-08\OEM\OperatorPKG.
Unfortunaltey none of the *.lnk are moved.
Menu_Operations is started once after a hardreset or after flashing the new ROM - started from config_operator.txt.
The creation of new directory works.
Example:
<characteristic type="%CE4%\Programs\Tools\Search.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Move">
<parm name="Source" value="%CE4%\Programs\Search.lnk" translation="install"/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
Should means: move search.lnk from directory \windows\start menu\programs to \windows\srat menu\programs\tools
But nothing happens.
Any ideas ?
_________

In my cooked ROMS, I edit initflash.dat directly.
NOTE: initflashfiles.dat has an interesting issue where if you use notepad to edit the contents and save it, notepad will add extra characters that prevent the device from booting properly after flash. I personally use WinHex (any Hex editor will work) to remove the extra bits it adds at the beginning of the file after making changes.

Me too. More direct and do not need to struggle w/ xml

EDIT: Please ignore this mail.
hm, now I am confused.
As far as I know, all OEM apps are stored under \xkaiserkitchen_01-20-08\OEM\OEMAPPS - but there is no *.dat file, only a *.dsm is available.
There is either no initflashfiles.dat under \\xkaiserkitchen_01-20-08\*.
Which file has the information which *.lnk is stored in which directory ?
For my own apps (saved under \xkaiserkitchen_01-20-08\Packages ) this information is initflashfiles.txt (created with packages generator by ervius)
Thanks

[APP Needed] Auto email-account creator/restorer

Well i tried searching a lot, but can't find anything. Is there an app anywhere that you can backup the mail settings (or save a copy of a file that includes them somewhere) so you can restore them later (after flash)?

Try Sashimi it has that function or else try provisioning the settings so that you can always restore from the provisioning file. For Email2 CSP see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa455896.aspx or xda forum

As mentioned, try writing a provisioning XML, or, if you're not comfortable with this idea, try OEMizer.

Long time ago I find this little prog from Steganos.
Maybe you give it a Try.
1.
download the zip
2.
Unzip to a folder.
3.
Connect PDA via Activesync.
4.
start "start.bat" (!!!!!!!!!don't press any key!!!!!!!).
5.
go back in the mail_settings-folder and you will find "_setup.xml" open with notepad
search for
<parm name="AUTHNAME" value="USERNAME" />
beneath it enter a new line
<parm name="AUTHSECRET" value="PASSWORD" />
Do this for every mail-address.
6.
Save the "_setup.xml"
8.
go back to "start.bat"-Window and press a key
9.
press the key again
10.
with the new "Mail_Settings.cab" you can allways restore your mail-settings

Hey KUR0I,
you can´t imagine how long I looked for a solution of MailSettingsRestore of my CE Devices, because I like to try new ROMs and every time this boring E-Mail Settings Input procedure. Have not tested yet my created Mail_Settings.cab. But I´m sure it works if I flash again.
Vielen Dank.
Thank you very much.

Kuroi, thank you for this excellent upload, exactly what I needed, worked perfectly.

Damn! that's what I want but I can't make it works!
iggy, I'm under WM6.5.3 and try as it's explained. But the config file (_setup.xml after first step) is empty, no params at all!
Did anyone else tried?

The lightest solution:
Setup your email account, connect ppc to pc, launch rapiconfig from pc and download your email settings as xml file you can restore using any autoconfig method: sashimi, uc_xda, config.txt, etc. You can also use rapiconfig to test the xml file without reflashing or using any regedit program.
The same applies for any other settings: wifi network, owner information, etc.

thanks cruiserrr, but what are the query to pass to rapiconfig to download settings?
As I said, when I tried the DOS .bat script, my xml file is empty. Nothing extracted!
EDIT: it's OK, as I want to get exchange data, the query is not EMAIL2 but Sync (be careful it's case sensitive!)
Now I go to msdn to find query for others data :-D

Hi
KUR0I's method worked well and created the cab, my only worry is when I try to open it with wince cab manager, I get the message "this is not a valid Windows Ce cabinet file".
Edit: Nevertheless it installs without problems

try the app: PIM Backup (freeware)
this backs up your pim info, which includes your mail accounts (i think)
edit: link to app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705

So does a rapiconifg/email2 .xml still work with winmo 6.5.3 and the new htc email in 23158? I used to use this method back on my touch pro running 6.1 back in the day but have never tried it lately... guess ill try and find out..

Thanks for this tool, it works very well
Nevertheless, do you know the XML lines to backup for an email account :
- The signatures,
- The network connection (in email Setup/Advanced server settings).
Thanks for your help

Hi, you can query whatever you want: email, wifi, and whatever application. The output should be a valid provxml/xml file to load with rapiconfig at any time or to load in your ROM or customization. Wifi, email and owner are easy to find with google, sorry I do not recall the key.
example
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic-query type="HKLM\Software\Apps\whatever" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

Hi,
You say we can query whatever we want, but i can't find the query for the signatures and the type of network connection in Poutlook.
Do you know it plz ?

Sorry, can not help with this. I usually google something like provxml + whatever or wm6.5 xml + whatever. You can also use a program like sk tools to compare registry after and before the manual changes or install. You can also look for the keys in reg file format and convert to xml...

Thanks a lot! :-D

Pimbackup is what you need

So tell me how to backup email accounts only with it ?

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?

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>

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;

I'm using PHM Registry Editor it allows me to do the following tasks:

backup and restore the complete registry and
perform search on the registry data

[Q] How do you re-brand to T-Mobile USA?

I tried the de-branding hack (MobileOperator = "000-88"), but I was only able to update to 7008. Since T-Mobile USA is going to start pushing updates, I want to "rebrand" my phone back to what it was. Does anybody know what the MobileOperator string is for T-Mobile USA?

The string is TMO-US

Thanks! I'll give it a whirl.

I also want to rebrand my HD7 but the registry editors ive used dont show it. How can I change it back to TMO-US?

You'll need to run this XAP called HTC-ProvXml-Deploy.
This XAP will load a self-contained CustClear.provxml file into the registry. You'll just need to create your own CustClear.provxml file and overwrite the one that's already in the XAP.
You'll need to create a .reg file with the following contents:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]
"MobileOperator"="TMO-US"
Then run rgu-2-xml to convert it to an XML file.
The XML file should look like this:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<!-- *** COMMENTO *** -->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo">
<parm name="MobileOperator" value="TMO-US" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Rename the file generated by rgu-2-xml to "CustClear.provxml" (without quotes obviously). BTW, you can just take the XML above paste it into NotePad and save it as "CustClear.provxml" if you want to skip the rgu-2-xml conversion.
Next you'll need to open up "HTC-ProvXML-Deployn.n.n.xap" as an archive file. You can either change the extension to "zip" and open it up in Windows (you'll need to change the extension back to "xap" later, obviously), or you can use 7-Zip. If you have 7-Zip, right-click on the xap file and select "Open archive".
Drag your new CustClear.provxml file into the archive and overwrite the file already contained therein. Double check that the file was overwritten by dragging the file from the archive to another folder (e.g. your desktop) and open it up in NotePad to inspect.
Next change the extension of the zip file back to xap if you have to, and then deploy the xap to your device. Run the app, and you should have a rebranded HD7.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's anyway to tell if the changes stuck.

Thank you. This was very easy to follow and I was able to follow your instructions and deploy the registry settings!

I already customized myself a provxml to rebrand my HD7 back to TMO-US. Attached it for download. Just deploy to your device and hit the green button to provision.
Note that this is specifically to rebrand back to TMO-US.

Hi,
Slight highjacking, but I also rebranded mine to 000-88, and want to change back. I was too stupid to write my old registry down.
I have an Samsung Omnia with 3 for Sweden. Could any swedish guy check that out?

I'd like to ask the same question for my O2 Germany HD7.
I know, one probably just has to change TMO-US into something like O2-DE or else, but I don't want to mess around with these reg files so I rather ask.
O2 Germany pushed the update yesterday and since my general reception got worse after forced NoDo I want to try it with the official one.
So it'd be nice if anyone could tell, what providerIDs one has to use for certain countrys/providers.
Big thanks in advance!

Hi all!
Does anyone know what is the entry - instead of "TMO-US" - for debranded devices in the registry?
I would like to rebrand my mozart for an update and after the installation I would like to redebrand my device ... to be free again ... ;-)
Thanks in advance!!
