Hello Guys...
Is it possible to add Software to a ROM that is different to the \Windows directory?
For Example i want to have my Files at \Programs\Myown
How do i make this?
I want to add some programms to the kitchen, that uses other dircectorys...
Thanks a lot for help...

We have the technology we can rebuilt it.
It occured to me that we should be able to build the ultimte "base" rom to use in the kitchen.
I would propose that it be based on the TMO 4.01.16 but make the installation of all the additional apps such as TMO toolbar, myemail, pdf and ppt viewers optional. I would also propose that sample windows media files and be removed.
Such a rom would give us the maximum space into which to add the appilications we chose but still allow us the flexibility to add some of the apps and settings that service providers supply. (much as the old Devlopers ROM did)
Just a thought

PS 3 cheers for Lumpistefan and Makis!!! :!: :!: :!:
That is a good idea. I think we can do it with mkrom.zip. We will need a linux op. but I think it will do the job under windows with cygwin.
I started to see the txt files, ini files etc, but I am at the beginning.
I want to make a good rom, like you. With no helps, no unneccesarry files, custom files (my ringtones for example) in the rom.
I only need time.
how
can you actually remove files from ROM ?
I couldn`t do it.
It will be great indeed.

We want to build a ROM without some files. Not to remove files from a working ROM in the devices flash memory.
There is a file in the mkrom/cfg folder:
initobj.txt
It contains a filelist. I think there is a place to delete the files. But I have not tried. I have not time now.

I think this is the big problem.....
Until now it´s not possible to remove Files from the rom....
What should be able is overwriting files from the ROm. But i think this doesn´t make much sense....

You're wrong.the initobj.txt file just conatins a list where to copy some files out of the rom. All Files are located in \Windows. The initobj.txt files contains the list, which file should be moved to wihich directory.
90% of this are the files in "Start Menu" and Help ....
So i see now chance to delete files out of the rom....

Stefan I can get from you this file is like the Config.txt in the Extended_Rom in Himalaya. I can understand now how you could remove the Msn messenger shortcut into \WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\INTERNET\CHAT & IM ????
I am working on a WM5 version of the popular VGA hack OzVGA. I have all the registry settings I need but am missing some files from a QVGA installation of WM5. A member of the Himalaya forum provided me with his 96dpi DLLs but they appear to be incomplete and/or buggy.
Would it be possible for someone to rip and e-mail me the following files form your Wizard?
browsres.96.dll
coreres.96.dll
exappres.96.dll
instmsgrresources.96.dll
miscres.96.dll
msim.96.dll
officeres.96.dll
outres.96.dll
pegcards.96.dll
pmsnresources.96.dll
pptres.96.dll
riresdll.96.dll
shellres.96.dll
shellresapps.96.dll
syncres.96.dll
tapres.96.dll
trares0409.96.dll
tshres.96.dll
Thanks in advance.
i will rip them for you if you tell me how i can do it?, as it will not let me just copy the files to my pc?
SURE
YES
I'LL DO THE SAME, JUST TELL ME HOW TO DO IT,,,
Not having a Wizard I don't know how you would do it. I'm guessing you would need to download the rom from your device and then rip the files using the correct offsets.
Need someone more knowledgeable than me to advise on how to do it.
hi
this might help.....
awhile back i was messing with my jasjar and wanted to copy some files from windows directory ...after trying i found renaming them and then copying them worked for most files
like browsres.96.dll could be renamed to browsre2.96.dll orbrowsres.96.dll2 ...
try and let us know
TIA
I have been able to extract the EXT ROM and OS ROMs using the NB2NBF and IMGFS tools. I know that by using a custom ROM I can save on storage space by loading in my programs. I'd like to load Pocket Informat, Alarm Today, Phone Alarm , isilo and TCPMP into the OS ROM. How do I do this? I have all their cabs. I will keep reading the forums too.
I know that some like summiter have done this. Anyone able to help me get started or point me in the right direction?

the only device i ever heard supporting that is walaby
dont know if it's possible with other devices
i mean the os part of the rom is well you know full already
yes it is possibel.you need a tool called [typhoonnbfdecode_v5] look for this tool and how to use somehere in the ftp, and here in the wizard forums
you need to make a dump of the os from a nk.nbf image with the above tool
then you need to extract the files from de cabs you want plus the reg settings,
simply copy the extracted files from cab to your rom dump folder
make a cab file with the reg files from the cab files an also the shortcuts to the programs.
repack the rom with the typhoonnbfdecode_v5, convert the nba image with NB2NBF back to nbf and flash,after that install the cab with reg settings plus shortcuts,
you have a long jorney ahead.
i took me several weeks to make my own rom with netcf.2,adobe acrobat e several other programs integrated to the rom.

OK I have gotten the nk.nbf extracted and the EXT ROM opened using winimage and the OS ROM dumped via imgfs.
Where I am running into problems understanding is how to unpack the .cab install files for the programs I am planning on using and how to "move" them to the \Program Files\ directories that they need to be in. For example PocketInformant is loaded into the \Program Files\WebIS directory. Do I put all the files from the .cab file in the dump OS directory? Is there some sort of program that will extract the .cab file and let me look at what registry settings are being set by its installation?
What program is used to create registry settings into a .cab file?
Thanks

wincecab manager ,google it.
Hey!
I want to add some apps to the Rom of my Wizard, too.
I have used imgfs tools to great a dump from my OS.
Now i want to Install Total Commander to a Folder "\Programme\Total Commander\".
How can i do this? Or is it only possible to copy the files without any folder?
Sry for my bad english
Hi
Does anyone know how to edit the registry files before creating a nbh to upload. Im looking to disable the cube and windows protect for installing unsigned programs etc.
Thanks
I am looking for the same thing.
thanks in advance
Does anybody know how I can use png files to change the icon for Folders and Shortcuts? I'm in WM 6.5 and I've tried everything I can find. I'd prefer a way to use a RGU or Provxml or Initflashfiles.dat when I cook if that's possible? Automation is what I'm looking for. I'd like to create a package with the png files included, and an RGU or whatever needed to lay it all out.
Thanks in advance! I really appreciate the help.
