custom cab files

Hi All,
Can anyone direct me to some usefull tutorials on creating custom CAB files for my SP5.
At this stage, i'm just trying to create an automated CAB that will change the homescreen to a bitmap of my choice.
I can manually dump the file on the device, but i'd like to put it into a cab file so it will automatically dump the bitmap set it as my homescreen.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers !

This tool is cool as well...

Thanks for the response guy's.
I've actually got the OCP CAB manager application.
But it doesn't work with Windows Mobile 2005 based CAB's.
Smart archiver doesn't support WM2005 CAB's either
I'm finding there is a lack of suppoort for WM2005.
I guess i'll just have to make them manually by compiling from an inf file.
Can anyone post a template inf file for the WM2005 OS ?
I can use that as a base, then compile the CAB with cabwiz.
thanks again.

keep pushing ,I want to know the same thing as you.
I tried so many way to open and edit file in Cab-files for WM2005.
Just some files that can be open with CeCABManager.

Customizing .nb0 (ROM) files

Hi everyone,
My PDA support center distributes updated roms in "nb0" file format, I was wondering if anyone could help me throught openning this file and doing some modification. Since there are many unusefull applications inside it and I want to delete or subsitite them. I read some topics about cooking roms in forum but I cann't find any information about customizing "nb0" files.
Thanks!
Pedram

Fortunetly, I could dump content of ".nb0" file with tools provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249836 (Beta: WM5 ROM editing tool). I got pleanty of files in dump folder. It's har for me to diffrentiate which file is which!

Could any one help me to find my voice command application inside this dumped rom and repalce it with another voice commmand application such as MS voice command?
There are some files and directories with this name in my dumped rom:
VoiceBar.dll, VoiceCtl.dll, voicedll.dll, VBarCall.dll, VCOMCtl.dll
I am really confused! I do not know what files should I delete or where copy new files.
Thanks in advanced.

i want to change my windows mobile 6.1 os 64mb rom to 128mb but i cant find any editing tool. im using asus p535 and rom file GalaxyII_new.nb0 like that.

dll reconstruction of xip files in wm6

Dear All,
i'm owner of omnia i900 from samsung, and i'm bit interested in adroid os and what would be eventual possibilities to port it to this pda/phone. I'd like to copy driver files from /windows/ directory on the phone and disasseble it to see the init of lcd etcetc. These files are copy-protected so I gues they are sort of executable-in-place because they do a core of wm6 system. is there any way how to disassemble/copy/reconstruct them? i've been looking around, but didn't find any specific info.
i'd be happy for any useful info.
thx.

It's possible to disassemble and reconstruct the dlls. You would first have to download a ROM update for the phone and then dump the PDA part of the ROM using the an omnia kitchen. All this can be found over @ the MoDaCo forums. When you look in the ROM folder inside the XIP folder there will be the dlls you need. You should then get the IDA disassembler and disassemble the dlls with that. After finding the routines you need you'll need to get the HAReT bootloader and the Linux kernel to patch. from there on in you'll need to read up on dzo's android linux for the Vogue and HAReT's documentation and go from there. Hope it helps...

Sorry for late response. Sort of busy. Thanks for info. Very useful. I'll try to look into....

XIP again?
Dear All,
maybe someone could give me some hint. I've got all the drivers I need thanks to post of Soul_Est. Unfortunately this is not a complete solution for me.
When I try to disassemble e.g. zylonite_usb driver, it ask me for reference to ceddk.dll library. this is unfortunately XIP file, therefore no ceddk.dll exists as this library is spread over many files (imageinfo.bin, imageinfo.txt, s000,s001,s002,s003). Of course when I cancel import of this DLL, the IDA disassembler will put into the decompiled zylonite_usb code links to call functions as CEDDK_37, CEDDK_62 etcetc. It would improve my guessing of what happens by degree of order if I would be able to import this CEDLL XIP file into IDA, thus instead of CEDLL_37 call I could see real function name...
could someone smart tell me how to do this? how can I prepare these ceddk files in order to import them into IDA?
thanksalot

You could use ervius' buildos + pkgtools 4.3beta1 to re-assemble the module as it's called into the file you need. I can't remember where I found it though. You could also look into the haretconsole to look into the function calls. Documentation is here: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET_20Documentation
There is also someone porting the Linux kernel to the Omnia as well. You should check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431329
The two of you could possibly work together on the project.

How does NaviPanel work with iGO8 in Windows Mobile Phones?

How does NaviPanel work with iGO8 in Windows Mobile Phones?
I tried many times to find the right suitable way to make the navigation program iGO8 work through the NaviPanel Application in my hTC hd2 and finally I found the solution to this problem.
You should do the following steps one by one to get the best results:
1-Create a file directory under the name CoPilot in your phone memory Program files
2-Install the cab file”MSN-NaviPanel” into your phone in your memory card (this application contains the necessary files to define the Copilot navi extension in the NaviPanel. Thanks to xda-developers forum.
3-After installing the “MSN-NaviPanel”cab file you will find two files which are “config.ini” and “Copilot” and “NaviPanel” inside the CoPilot folder that you created in the Program Files.
4-Now you have to open the iGO8 folder in the Program Files and copy the following files:
sys
gpstmc.dll
iGO8.exe
5-Paste them into CoPilot folder you created.
6-Change the name of the “iGO8.exe” file into “CoPilot.exe”.
7-Make another copy of the iGO8.exe file in the same CoPilot folder and name it “splashscreen.exe”.
8-Now you have 7 files in your “CoPilot” folder.
9-Make the following changes to “config.ini” and “sys” files
Sys file >>>>
[folders]
app="Storage card\igo_folder_as_you_named_it"
config.ini file >>>>>
Path=\Program Files\iGO8\iGO8.exe
KeepAlive=on
10-Don’t run NaviPanel when you are connecting the phone to the internet while doing this operation…. Wait till you finish everything.
11-Now do the soft reset to your device.
12-Run NaviPanel and enjoy iGO8 at the same time.
Note: if you receive a message which says that you should restart installing iGO8 because of the SDcard is not original don’t be afraid, do it and restart the program.
Best Regards

There's threads and posts on this already. Basically it just launches the program for the buttons on NaviPanel.

Agree for that!

Thanks for posting.I too had the same problem figuring bis out myself.
Is it possible for an xda-developer to built a cab to make the following:
a)Create a Copilot folder
b)Copy allsdk to windows folder and
c)Making the proper key to the registry
Thanks,

yes, but I think other explanations are not enough to do the operation and there are many visitors who dont have enough knowledge about programing. It is a matter of development but not invention. My all thanks to whom participated in providing all informations about such issues.

What do u mean exactly?
Did u get this when u installed the above mentioned cabs or what?
If so i suggest modifying your sys.txt clearly specifying the correct path.
[folders]
app="Storage Card/iGO8"
I hope this helps

Moreover can a cook\chef\wizkid from xda devs replace the htc navi crap with sth that works.I would prefer music player integration,cameraand ability to choose over GPS apps. I think it would have come up to be very handy for all of us and a lot of people would donate for this.

try first to get iGo8 working as stand alone. Check if it works when you directly execute it from sdcard.

you are trying to use igo Primo, and the folder global_cfg from content (on storage card) is missing. that's why.

the navipanel cab has made my phone unstable and keeps htc sense freezing

Visual Studio

Hi, I tried to open some WP7 mui files in Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone and it tells me:
"There is no editor available for 'xxx.mui'. Make sure the application for the file type (.mui) is installed."
I also read somewhere that you must rename the file to .dll and than open them but when I do it tells:
"The following components could not be browsed:" and nothing else.
I read posts about WM6 mui files but I wonder how can i edit WP7 mui files. Should I have full version of Visual Studio?
