Advanced Config has a section for setting new values for "My Documents", "My Ringtones", etc. but many of them don't actually work.
I'd love to be able to use "\Donny" instead of "\My Documents", etc.
Call it irrational, but I *HATE* the Windows defaults of "My [whatever]". I always change them (via the registry) on my desktop/laptop PCs, and it drives me nuts that I can't do it in WM.
So, is it possible during the ROM cooking process to make such changes? Or are they simply hard-coded into the WM OS.
If they're hard-coded, is it in a single DLL? (That I could maybe hack with a hex editor?)
These are all variables that you can control at the time of cooking, by editing various .rgu's in the system folder. Look to the folders with Lang or 0409 (or your regional code) in the name, as these are the language-localization strings.. all folder names are considered language-localized as "My Documents" is obviously different in each language
Use a text editor that supports unicode such as EmEditor to edit these .rgu's.
Hope it helps!
That's AWESOME! I've been looking for a reason to start cooking... now I have one!
One follow-up question, if I may...
Instead of hard-coding the values, can you tell it to look in the registry (so the "Shell" entries actually work)?
Thanks for the reply!
The .rgu's represent the registry as it's compiled by the ROM kitchen, so editing the .rgu's will have the same effect as editing the registry.

Not sure if you're missing my point or if I'm not understanding you.
If the .rgu's represent the registry as it's compiled then the locations for My Documents, Program Files, etc. would all be hard coded in the ROM, and once again, changing the settings in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders won't actually do anything. Right?
So, I'm asking if there's a way to put some sort of magic pointer (or maybe leave it blank?) to say, "If you want to know the location of 'My Documents', check the registry settings at HKCU\....\Shell Folders"
I have a shortcut that brings up my ebooks directory in the traditional fexplore list view. What I want to know is if there is any command line argument I can use to make it show up in a more finger (and eye) friendly Icon View, like that which occurs if you do start -> Programs.
I found another post asking this question, but no answers. Thanks for your time.

Sure,
take a look into my thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623195
There are links to other pages with lots of nice applications/utilities.
There are new utilities (yet not made by me though).
Within it is the basics of making your own shortcuts.
Within it is the basis of adding your own icon.
or *.icl icon library..
Now and then I'm still updating (editing) it. I'm looking into two *.icl files, where I need to find out if I can share 'm here (that is within the above link).
IMO this is a nice start fortunz

I do appreciate the info (which I've bookmarked for other uses), but I didn't notice any Icon View parameters for fexplore in the post. I'm not really interested in altering what icon the .lnk has, I'm just looking to avoid the default List View fexplore uses.
My googling on the issue has also been a complete failure. I've been assuming that Start -> Programs (sans manila, I don't know if it uses the same setup) on vanilla 6.1 uses fexplore in an Icon View, but I suppose it could be using a different program entirely to browse the start folder.
Another approach
Use Opera instead
Goto the url: file://localhost/ Browse for your preferred directory, bookmark it, make a link (*.lnk) for this bookmark and put this link on your application launcher. You could also copy and paste it into another browser (with better/other view capabilities).
Just a thought,
Senax

It's an interesting approach. Not quite up my alley having tested it out now, but I do appreciate the thought.
Since fexplore parameters seem to not be known, perhaps I should be looking for another file manager to use for these particular purposes.

Hello again,
IMO I found it! I have it under the hood for ages, maybe that's why I did not think of it in the first place ; start using the free ware Total Commander file manager. Set it in it's Menu to Show - Large Icons
Done!

What you need is File Explorer Extensions

You can switch between big icon and detailed view, but not using command line.
And

Can get command line parameters, but only for program menu (WM 6.1 and below)

Does it always default to showing large icons thereafter (Every time you open the program again after it's been shut down completely), or do you have to change it each time?
If not, I see at least one element in the ini file that might make the setting keep. Thanks. I'll give that a spin.
Hi, i think i found how to remove IE, Live search, Office, Windows live, and a few other small stuff but i'm sure that by removing those folder there is also a few registry line i should erase a few places but its a real maze and i'm not a programer or whatever else that read a code page and feel like he is reading an ordinary book of common language.
My goal here is to find how to remove whatever i want. Here's what i would like:
IE
Windows live messenger
windows live search
office
audio manager
media player
calendar
image viewer
contact manager
calculator
mail
I want to be able to take them out at will and replace them with apps of my choice. The problem is to find them and taking them out clean. Is there anywhere that has the proper documentation not writen in "chinese" so i can do it myself? I dont need anyone to come here and make there show off, i dont care how good you are to confuse me with your technical language, i want it in plain english with paths and command lines to change, add or delete from precise defined files like .rgu or anything else if its possible. It would be much appreciated. By the way, the apps list i named could be a lot longer. The more control i can have over the ROM the best it is.
I dont need to tweak the settings because thats way over my head, i just want to manage the apps that are going to be installed.
To finish, i would love to take out the dialer and replace it by my rosco dialer. I mean, completely replace the dialer, not just partially, but i guess this is a lot of work because i guess the dialer app is mixed up with a bunch of dll and stuff like that and i would have to rewire all that to my rosco dialer and for that i would probably have to do a lot of very complicated stuff with my rosco program to read codes and bla bla bla so i guess i'll forget about it but if by any chance its a lot easier then i think, feel free to tell me how. Thanks for your help, if i get any.
I think you best bet is to look into one of the kitchens available...
You can build a ROM to your likings that way.
Yes. I feel the same way; you should really learn to cook a ROM. This will give you a better realization of what goes into a ROM and realize that it's not that simple to take out OEM apps. There are things from your list that you will be able to take out of your ROM though, which is why I say that you should learn about it. Take a look at my guide in my sig..
I already have a Kitchen called Hypercore. I have the original french wm6 in executable format, i extracted the RUU_signed.nbh, then i used NHBextract to extract the OS.nb. I put OS.nb in my kitchen to get the SYS and OEM files. Then i have a 2 web page showing what i can delete from SYS and OEM which can be find here:
http://www.techparaiso.com/windows-mobile/tutorials/232-porting-new-os-build-and-exploring-the-sys-folder-of-your-kitchen-and-scanning-the-importantun-important-packages-for-windows-phone-os and here:

i did my own .rgu with a generated UUID file for my personnal tweaks that i put in a folder i names zzz_My_registry_OEM to be sure its installed at last and the .rgu file goes like this:

So far so good. But the only 2 links i got to know what i can delete from SYS and OEM, is not enough to make a real good clean of all the apps i want. There is no tutorial no where explaining it. You tell me i should learn how to cook, but how can i learn if everytime i ask some information like i just did, the people suggest me to learn how to cook? Thats exactly what i'm trying to do here. All i want is to know, which freakin folder goes with which app and which rgu or whatever i need to modify or delete to make a clean removal. I want to learn, but i cant learn out of thin air. I also found the folder BaseApps in the SYS folder and it seem to have some apps there too, but i'm just not sure if i can just go and delete whatever i want that wear an obvious name like calendar.exe
If someone know where to refer me so i can LEARN as you said so easily, well, just tell me because thats all i'm asking to learn.

In this thread we will share you step by step the Cooking Process of Samsung C6625. This is still the basic Tutorial. The rest you have to explore yourself.
Samsung C6625 has windows mobile 6.1 Standard as default operating system. So, in this tutorial, we will guide you how to upgrade the system to Windows Mobile 6.5 version (6.5.3 built 23121).
Resources Needed:
C6625XXIG5 (latest firmware that needed for base ROM) http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=36b949adb79ac9c0e7c82ed4b8f0c380250bba37092fb2cb64328c9cace34742
Core WM 6.5.3 (built 23121) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544818
Other donor that has same OS (such as, B7320, B7330, HTC Snap, B6520, etc) but makes sure that those resources has WM 6.5 to avoid conflict in your new Cooked ROM.
Application needed:
Valencia kitchen 1.06 (created by TJ_Style) + tools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757398
PEExplorer and Resources Hacker (edit = *.dll, *.exe, etc)
Image editor and creator (you can use photoshop, corel Draw, Gimp, or whatever that suite with you)
winceCab (for opening cab application)
Notepad++ (edit + *.xml, *.rgu, etc)
Icon editor (IconFX, etc)
Let’s Get Started!!!!!!
I. Decompress System Files
Run Valencia Kitchen.exe
Now you will have some folders
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
• BaseBIN
• CookedBIN
• Donor
• Tool
• Xipport
Extract C6625XXIG5.rar and you will get NAND.bin file
Copy NAND.bin to BaseBin folder
While Valencia Kitchen still running (Page 1),
click Dump button….. wait until the process completed!!!
Now you have another Folder
OEM (contain device manufacturer specific files which are specific to your device)
ROM (boot.rgu)
SYS (contains the core operating system built by windows)
All of them mostly contain:
A DSM file (a file that contains some package information, for example what other packages it require or what files it contains, most kitchens usually ignore this)
A RGU file (a registry file containing the registry entries associated with the packages)
An APP.dat, initflashfiles.dat & initflashfiles.txt file (contains instructions for folder creation and file copying that are executed at first boot)
Other files or modules that compose the package: the modules are folders that usually have file-like names (meaning they have an extension) and are a different way to store executable and DLL files on the ROM.
Now in XIPPORT folder you will get xip.bin
DONE….
II. Build New Operating System Structure
Open SYS folder
Delete all folder except .ROM, .VM , Metadata
Open 232121 folder that you have already downloaded.
Open SYS folder
Copy all folders except .ROM, .VM, Metadata to your SYS folder
DONE….. but we still have another Step…..
Copy your donor xip.bin (from 23121) to \XIPPORT\DONOR folder
Run XIPport.exe in \XIPPORT\DONOR folder
Click “dump xip.bin” button ….. wait until OUT folder appears. This folder contains this:
Now, Click “make pkgs” button to make the subfolder into simple folder
If you have these folders in FILES and MODULES, you are in the right track…..
DON’T CLOSE XIPport.exe YET…!!!!
Now, open XIPPORT folder and run XIPport.exe (it is easier if you open the folder with another Explorer window)
Same process with previous XIPport.exe….
Click "dump xip.bin" and,
Click "makes pkgs"
Also, DON’T CLOSE XIPport.exe YET…!!!!!
Open FILES folder (\XIPPORT\OUT\DONOR\)
Copy MSXIPKernel and MSXIPKernelLTK folders
Replace them to FILES folder (\XIPPORT\OUT\)
Do it same way for MODULE folder
Open MODULES folder (\XIPPORT\OUT\DONOR\)
Copy MSXIPKernel and MSXIPKernelLTK folders
Replace them to MODULES folder (\XIPPORT\OUT\)
Delete LangDB folder on XIPPORT\OUT\FILES and XIPPORT\OUT\MODULES to prevent of conflicting initflashfiles.dat, Because the Kitchen is automatically copying the LangDB to OEM on the Dumping Process.
Click "undo" button on both XIPport.exe and close them….
Check OUT folder (\XIPPORT\OUT). If the file returns to original structure, you’ve done it.
DONE….
III. The Next Step, “BUILDING OPERATING SYSTEM”
Open page 3 on Valencia Kitchen
Click “Build OS” button….
It will run “buildOS.exe”
Click "Run"
Wait for second…. The process cannot completed! This is because there are some double file between OEM and SYS folder. These files are: si_impl.dll, flashnddec.dll, flashlite.dll. So, delete those files in “\OEM\OEM_FLASHLITE”.
Now, repeat the process again….
Wait until the process completed….. then Close it…
When you have closed BuildOS, Extreloc.exe will run. You can see the process progress in the bottom right corner.
Click “Import XIPPORT”
Click “Open ROMHDR + .VM + .ROM” button
Click “Realloc V (DLL)” button…. Wait until the process completed.
Continue................
On “XIPport” Click “Realloc P” and “write map”
Click “Realloc NK.EXE,GIISR.DLL,etc.” button….. wait until the process completed.
Click “realloc P” once again…
On Extreloc.exe drag the separator on the right to the left, you will find another menu.
Click “Realloc IMGFS modules” button…. Wait until the process completed (MAP.txt log appear)… then Close it.
On xipport.exe Click “build xip_out.bin” button and close xipport.exe.
It will create new file “xip_out.bin” in XIPport folder
Close EXTReloc.exe and wait until Build OS process completed.
DONE...... NOW you have NEW OPERATING SYSTEM…..
IV. The Last Step, “BUILDING ROM”
NOTE: Before continue the process, make sure you disable AntiVirus Application!!!
Still on page 3 of Valencia Kitchen, click “Build ROM”… wait until pagepool option window open.
When pagepool option has appeared, set the size of pagepool (default size is 4)… presses Enter…Wait until it finished….
TADA …. Your new ROM has Built…. It will store in CookedBIN folder.
Copy your NAND.bin (cookedBIN) to Flashing folder
Now Flash it…….
After flashing has finished, check the version of your Cooked ROM.
I’m sure you cannot open the setting…. (Hahahaha…..)
Don’t Worry…. We will straight to the FUN TIME….
Repairing The System
TIPS (from TJ_style): “Repair the system first and then you can freely customize them”
TIPS (from Thekn): “Some built has problem in it; you have to combine the system files with another built”
Before you start repairing your Cooked ROM MAKE SURE you have already uncheck “Hide protecting operating system files” and check “Show hidden files and folders” on your PC.
232121 built have some problems, example:
Setting menu doesn’t equal with the original c6625
Hint: open rootgsm.cpl.xml (\OEM\OEMMISC\) Edit some features that are not in your cooking system (I’ve have erased customer feedback, autoupdate, error reporting) (thanks to TJ_style).
Note: “After you edited the file, open it with default program (internet explorer). If you cannot read the text, there is a mistake with your editing. Fix it until it can show up. Check every text, header or attribute or footer or something else that isn’t correct. Make sure header and footer have same word because it has case sensitive.”
You cannot open Contact
Hint: Copy “SIM_Tkit” from original SYS folder to your Cooking SYS folder
Internet Sharing doesn’t work
Hint: Copy from other Firmware (I copied from B7320 samsung). Replace it to SYS folder
The original c6625 firmware is from Europe (…..XX….), if you come from another region it will give you another problem:
Keypad problem
Hint: Copy “PhoneIME” from original SYS folder to your Cooking SYS folder (thanks to TJ_style)
You cannot see number of charakters in Messaging?
Hint: Copy “SMS_Providers” from original SYS folder to your Cooking SYS folder (thanks to SGH-i200)
Cannot automatically set the network
Hint: Find this file in bank Valencia “kaskus” (AUTO SIM CONFIGURE.rar). http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nnqooyhngwz
Replace the original one.
That is some of common problems that appear in our new Cooked ROM.
After you fixed it, Now, Build again but this time you only have to start in page 3 (Building process).
Flash it again….
Now, check the version of your new Cooked ROM. If you can see this, you had success.
Knowing The Structure
Now we will explain the structure, so we can freely edit and change things:
OEM (based on C6625): contain device manufacturer specific files which are specific to your device.
In this folder you will find applications that run in your OS.
The structures are:
LangDB
Contain “initflashfiles.dat” = very important file!!!
To editing this file, make sure you saving on ANSI Encoding, so better to use Notepad++ and add 1 emptu break in the end of file
Unicode:
ANSI:
In the Unicode Encoding the FF FE Header (thanks to TJ_style)
OEM_ABOUTBOX
OEM_ACTICON
Contain “iconpkg.dll” = Startmenu Icon

OEM_Lang_0809
Note: I have deleted another language. Delete it as you wish…
OEM_MCUBEWORKS
OEM_MMS
Contain “emailWizard”, “GoogleSearch”, etc
OEM_MYITEMS
Contain “constmgr”, etc
OEM_PLAUNCHER
OEM_R2VS
Contain DNS
OEM_T9IME
Contain T9IME word app
OEM_TESTAPPS
OEM_TESTMODE_APP
OEM_TIMEMGR
Contains “timemanager”, “reminder”, “Dday”, “Stopwatch”, “worldClock”
OEM_WMPSKIN
Contain WMP skin
OEMCommonNonEA
OEMDrivers
Contains a lot of application and system "*.dll". This is one of the HotSpot for customizing.
OEMMISC
Contain menu system. Most of them have cpl.xml extension. Use notepad to edit.
You can freely edit them but there is some folder that you can delete safely, edit with caution, and some of them are prohibit to edit or even delete it. It will CRASH the system!!!!!!!
Some of OEM folder that freely delete without crashing the system
Example: OEM_Lang = depend on which language you prefer. My suggestion, leave 0409 and 0809 because 232121 is 0809, XXIG5 is 0409.
Some of OEM folder can customize freely but you have to be careful. We will explain it with example…. Be patient…
Note: if you want to delete feature on your ROM. Make sure you delete the “exe”, files related to the application, edit the *.rgu, edit “initflashfiles.dat”.
Q: Can we add application to the system???? Of course we can….
These are the steps:
- Choose which application you want to add (cab much better and easier because it is already contains: the exe, files related, rgu, initflashfiles code…)
- Drag the cab files to Cab2OEM (already in Valencia Kitchen Tools folder)
- Wait…..
- Now, you have the OEM folder (named as your cabs name).
- Change the folder name with OEM_<you application>.
- Open the folder
- Open initflashfiles.txt
- Copy the command line to initflashfiles.dat (\OEM\LangDB\)
- Delete option.xml, initflashfiles.txt (in your application folder)
- Copy the folder to OEM folder.
- Now, you have new application added to your ROM…..
TIPS: “Don’t add application to Cooked ROM if most people won’t use it (even if you really like it). If you want to share application, just share with cab.”
TIPS: “Avoid application that run constantly such fedress, weather, etc because those files need connection to the internet constantly and will be need a lot of power”

Remove Manage Programs
Delete this module : historyui.cpl (\SYS\FWUPDATE\)
Disable Feedback Customers
Edit the registry in this file
a4ded16e-eadb-4ced-97ee-3af7ecfc6796.rgu (\SYS\SQM)
Set the DWORD with 0, like this one:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\SQM]
"Enabled"=dword:0
"UploadEnabled"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\SQM]
"Enabled"=dword:0
"UploadEnabled"=dword:0
"EnableUI"=dword:0
And add this one
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Customer Feedback]
"Redirect"="ceipui.exe"
"Group"=dword:1
"Hide"=dword:1
But I don’t know where to find the *.rgu. Don’t worry, without this registry, it works. As long as you already change SQM registry key.
Disable Error Reporting
Open d5ab0034-8aac-4a19-b5c4-a8b01b5bbe87.rgu (SYS\OS)

Reboot option in Quick Application (when you press Power Button)
This is how I did it:
Grab HTC quick list
Extract the file
Copy “HTCquickList.dll” and “reboot.exe” to \SYS\OS
Add this registry command to this file
d5ab0034-8aac-4a19-b5c4-a8b01b5bbe87.rgu (SYS\OS) :
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2ABD8635-9808-4c4c-943B-8173B805FD40}\InProcServer32]
@="HTCquickList.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCQuickList\0]
"ResOver"="1050"
"FilePath"="reboot.exe"
"CmdLine"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver]
"1050"="Reboot"
Change the registry (number 2) under this registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\QuickApp]
with this command line:
"2"="{2ABD8635-9808-4c4c-943B-8173B805FD40}" ;Reboot
And will become:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\QuickApp]
"1"="{6D48AB52-635C-4c6a-8508-9D32A0F07863}" ;Power Off Applet
"2"="{2ABD8635-9808-4c4c-943B-8173B805FD40}" ;Reboot

"5"="{B7A5E609-3E46-442d-8D32-65926EDA6795}" ;Profiles Applet
DONE….
TIPS: “When you build newer Cooked ROM, don’t forget to backup the previous one.”
TIPS: “you can increase booting process by avoiding or deleting application that use startup process”
V. Freeing up slot 0

VI. CUSTOMIZING DESKTOP
TIPS: “Use search engine to find the files”
Note: “Don’t forget to check “Search system folder”, “Search hidden files and folders” and “Search subfolders” in “More Advanced options””.
TIPS: “Decide what theme you want to make.”
OK, if you already sure with your Cooked ROM and no conflict in it, you can start to customize the desktop. You can make as beautiful as you wish……
Let's See…. What part that you can customize? OMG, all of it…!!!
Special applications needed:
Resources hacker (valencia kitchen tool)
PE Explorer (to show image file that are not shown in Resources Hacker)
How to use Resources hacker
Run "Resources Hacker.exe"
Click File and select which file you want to edit
If you want to replace the files, makes sure that you have same files type (image or icon, not png or jpeg (you can replace BMP with PNG or JPEG), same dimension (exp. 44 x 44 pixel, etc)
Right Click --- click “Replace Resources…”
Open the files --- click "replace"
In some case there are three textbox appears: (according picture (for example)) fill the first with Bitmap, second with 4896, third with 1033.
TIPS: “When you want to edit bronzeres.dll, the image won’t be seen. So, open the files with PE Explorer to see what inside and replace resources using Resources Hacker as usual with PE Explorer as guide”
Note:
Some dll such as shellres.dll are still module type. These steps will guide you how to edit the file:
You have to copy the shellres module to another folder
Copy recmod.exe and reversemod.exe from the Valencia Kitchen Tool
Drag shellres.dll module to recmod.exe
Open shellres.dll with resources hacker.exe (tools)
Freely change the icon as you wish
After finished editing, reverse the file by drag it to reversemod.exe
Replace the original module with your edited module.
If you understand the Basic, We will show you which files are require for editing. Let's Started from the Beginning….
Startup and shutdown animation
File: doani_samsung.dll (\OEM\OEMdrivers\)
Info:
File Type = GIF (320 x 240)
Address = startup (1 – 20), shut down (25 – 44) so you need 20 image each.
Splashscreen
File: doani_samsung.dll (OEM\OEMDrivers\)
Info:
File type = GIF (320 x 240)
Address = beginning 100, last 200
Incoming call and outgoing animation
File: extcall.dll
Info:
File type = GIF, PNG (better), JPEG (better) (320 x 186)
Address = open folder GIF. Incoming = 14110 – 14114, outgoing = 14210 – 14214
Startup tone
File: Phone_power_on.wav (\OEM\OEMDrivers)
Info:
Replace with your own tone
Shutdown tone
File: Phone_power_off.wav (\OEM\OEMDrivers)
Info: Rename your tone as the original and replace it to OEMDrivers
Startmenu icon
File: tapres.dll (use ‘how to edit shellres.dll’ methods)
Info:
File type = ICO (18 x 18)
Address = Icon Entry – 18
Blackbars (Soft key color (pure black))
The easy way:
Search blackbars.cab link
Convert to OEM you will get initflashfiles.txt, 990c3997-38ba-4998-bc46-1e36abccb2da.rgu, blackbars.scheme.xml, 990c3997-38ba-4998-bc46-1e36abccb2da.dsm, options.xml
What you need to do is (at least what I’ve done):
Copy blackbars.scheme.xml to \SYS\BronzeNONEA_resh_320_resv_240
Insert this code to initflashfiles.dat (OEM\LangDB) (you can find it in initflashfiles.txt):
Directory("\Application Data"):-Directory("Home")
Directory(""):-Directory("Application Data")
Directory("\Application Data\Home"):-File("blackbars.scheme.xml","\Windows\blackbars.scheme.xml")
Insert this code to 0cd1eb95-3e78-4acb-a8fc-09be5623471f.rgu (\SYS\BRONZE_DPI_131) (you can find it in 990c3997-38ba-4998-bc46-1e36abccb2da.rgu):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Home\blackbars.scheme.xml]
"COLOR_BTNTEXT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_BTNFACE"=dword:00FFFFFF
"COLOR_TITLEFLATCENTER"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT"=dword:00FFFFFF
"COLOR_SOFTKEYBTNTEXT"=dword:00FFFFFF
"COLOR_SOFTKEYFLATCENTER"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_SCROLLBAR"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_SOFTKEYBTNTEXT_HIGHLIGHT"=dword:00FFFFFF
"COLOR_TITLEFLATDONEBTN"=dword:00FFFFFF
"COLOR_SOFTKEYBTNFACE"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_TRAYGRADLEFT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_TRAYGRADRIGHT"=dword:00FFFFFF
"COLOR_HIGHGRADLEFT"=dword:00000000
"COLOR_HIGHGRADRIGHT"=dword:00FFFFFF
"COLOR_WINDOWFRAME"=dword:00000000
To make it shown on first boot
Open f6c8e625-7515-4d93-95ec-ac4999c62a27.rgu (\OEM\OEM_HOMESCREEN)
Scroll to the bottom
Change "ColorScheme" in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Home]
with \\Application Data\\Home\\blackbars.scheme.xml
oem_files
Replace oem_info.gif, oem_ques.gif, oem_yell.gif, oem_volume.gif (\OEM\OEMDrivers) with your images.
Replace samsung-carrier.gif with your images.
TITANIUM
Note: Don’t forget to delete slidingpanel.home.xml (OEM\OEM_HOMESCREEN) (it will crash titanium)
Files needed (already in packaged by frauhottelmann as the author):
bronzeres.dll --- contain: icons
Replace the original (SYS\BRONZE_DPI_131) with this one
titanium.home.xml --- setting: background, scheme
titanium_320x240.cpr --- setting: text
d57a3191-5a79-418b-b394-4678b16e9488.rgu --- setting: plugin, icon
Make new folder ---- rename it with OEM_TITANIUM
Put all files except bronzeres.dll to the folder
Put the folder inside OEM folder
Edit Titanium
File for editing: bronzeres.dll, cpr, rgu,xml
Bronzeres.dll
Open the file with PE Explorer because you cannot see image if you open it wit resource Hacker.
You will see numbers in RCDATA folder
Replace icon as you wish using Resource Hacker with PEExplorer as guide…. Don’t forget to save it.
Titanium background = RCDATA 4000
Titanium.home.xml
Open with Notepad
Change default background for your Titanium Panel : "bgimage-rotated="\windows\ SlidingPanel_bkg_320x240.jpg" with your image. Example: "\windows\ medical_bg.jpg”
Scroll down and you will see which plugin you wish to add to your Panel.
Edit it and fix it…
Note: “After you edited the file, open it with default program (internet explorer). If you cannot read the text, there is a mistake with your editing. Fix it until it can show up. Check every text, header or attribute or something else that aren’t correct. Make sure header and footer have same word because it’s case sensitive.
Titanium_320x240.cpr
Open with Notepad
WOW…. There is a lot of text….
In this file, you can edit Font size, text position, Font type, style, and some other things. You can freely change it. Make sure you are not making any mistakes…. Don’t worry you can fix it again.
d57a3191-5a79-418b-b394-4678b16e9488.rgu
Open it with Notepad++ make sure you add 1 empty break in the end of file
There are a lot of registry entries
You can edit which plugin you want to add, also you can delete it, and you can set icon for your panel.
Note: if you have edited it and cooked it and you find something wrong with your panel, you can edit titanium_320x240.cpr without Cooking again. As long as not bronzeres.dll, it will crash.
Adding text to Titanium Home Screen like Remora or Revalution
Add this command line to titanium_320x240.cpr and fill inside “text=”
<!-- Branding -->
<Layer ID="Page" Clip="False">
<Text ID="FixedText" Left="160" Top="162" Width="151" Height="24" FontFamily="Nina" FontSize="7" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Middle" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" Text="YOUR COOKED NAME">
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" Color="#444444" TextOffset="1" BlurFactor="3" Alpha="1.0" />
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFF" />
</Text>
</Layer>
To make it shown on first boot
Open f6c8e625-7515-4d93-95ec-ac4999c62a27.rgu (\OEM\OEM_HOMESCREEN)
Scroll to the bottom page
Change "Scheme"="\\Application Data\\Home\\Wizpro.home.xml" in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Home] with "Scheme"="\\Application Data\\Home\\Titanium.home.xml" (depend on your titanium.xml file name)
Adding menu background image:
Open “6b9c91d2-c438-411e-be81-f6df29436a78.rgu” (SYS\SHELL\)
Add this following code under [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSStart] :
"BKBitmapFile"="\\Application Data\\Home\\startmenubg.gif"
"BKUnselected"="COLOR_ALERTWINDOW"
"BKFlags"=dword:0000001A
"BKBitmapTransparent"=dword:00FF00FF
"BKBitmapLogPixelsY"=dword:00000083
"BKBitmapLogPixelsX"=dword:00000083
"BKDefaultGradient"=dword:00000001
Save your image background anywhere you like (I add it to OEM_Homescreen)
Add this following code to initflashfiles.dat :
Directory("\Application Data\Home"):-File("startmenubg.gif","\Windows\startmenubg.gif")
Done….
TIPS: “use GIF because it has small size and faster to load.”
TIPS: “Increase performance by using GIF not JPEG, BMP or PNG”
TIPS: “Use PNG image as needed”
Icon Edit
TIPS: “Replace the biggest icon size, the smaller will also automatically changes”
TIPS: “If you want to set the smaller icon different with the bigger one, change the smaller first”
Icon (you can find icons in this files) use 44 x 44 pixel:
Iconpkg.dll (\OEM\OEM_ACTICON)
Accessories folder = Icon Entry 1 – 4
Internet folder = Icon Entry 5 – 8
Organizer = Icon Entry 9 – 12
Shellres.dll (\SYS\Base_DPI_131)
Wait cursor = Bitmap 4896 – 4911 (you need 6 icon)
Folder Icon = Icon Entry
You can change Program/ Aplication icons in OEM folder or SYS folder by using Resource Hacker.
TIPS: “Explore your imagination”

i hope this thread will develop as well.....
also, i hope you can share you knowledge with us too.....
PAGEPOOL
What will going to happen if we change the pagepool size.....
i've made an experiment using this ROM and coreplayer (to find out the effect of running application)
this are the result:
pagepool 2:
available storage 121.20 mb
total 135.72 mb
available memory 89.60
total memory 115.60
memori 116
use 26.2
storage 136
use 14.5
movie benc
av speed 79.32%
audio sample 1046474
amount data 2055 kb
benc time 59.835
samp rate 17489
data rate 281 kbit/s
original time 47.459
frame rate 24.996
sample rate 22050
data rate 354 kbit/s
pagepool 8:
available storage 120.96 mb
total 135.72 mb
available memory 82.47
total memory 109.58
memori 110
use 27.4
storage 136
use 14.8
movie benc
video frame 1156
av speed 77.52%
audio sample 1053939
amount data 2062 kb
benc time 59.662
frame rate 19.376
samp rate 17665
data rate 283 kbit/s
original time 46.248
frame rate 24.996
sample rate 22050
data rate 365 kbit/s
Conclusion:
larger pagepool will reduce memory device capacity but it will increase speed (well... not too fast)
If we want to increase speed, we can add more size on pagepool but as the consequence the memory will reduce as well. If we have a lot of application installed, it will make the application run slowly because memory allocation will be less.
As we can see that applications speed are slightly increase but with reducing 6 mb in memory, that is mean a lot..... So, it's up to you who decide how much pagepool size you want to use......
(please, correct it if i'm wrong...)
Tips update...
Adding application to OEM....
If your resources comes from "cab" you don't have to edit initflashfiles.dat because there is already initflashfiles.txt on your folder....
it will be processed while cooking....
