New Soft! ConfigCreator & Restorator

Wazzzzzzzzaaa???
This is my first C# util!
It facilitates ExtRom update process. All you need to do is to put your cab files to Ext and run this utility, then the utility will create Config.txt at Ext with all cabs specified as "CAB: path2cab". If you need to get your original Config, then check ConfigOld at Ext
C# Programmers let's unite!!! ))
ps: the utility is not verbose one, so you won't see any messages & lame stuff. If you see something, then there is a problem

that's good boy! will try it l8r..
THANKS!

Man, wher z feedback?? Did u try it?

Boy, hope you finaally tried it! And try this one also. This is my 2nd C# util
Shortly what it does:
UnZips your files with consecutive registry values (reg V4) import and splash writing
It means that you can zip all your files to one file called Setup.zip and place it anywhere (storage/ext). After hard reset, the utility is called and it extracts all your files and restores your favorite registry settings (saved to Setup.reg) and writes your splash.
btw: read za manual !
ps: the concept is the same, if u see somethin' then there is a trouble

Re: Man, wher z feedback?? Did u try it?
Attention!
The file was re-uploaded, so there mustn't be any CRC errors now

System Requirements
Regarding system requirements, the program needs old version of ER\Autorun.exe that understands ER\Config.txt
Program was not tested on XDA1! It was partially tested (w/o hard-resets on XDA2 / 1.72TM

Version 1.1
Wazzza!
Here is a new version of Restorator utility. The new features are:
+ now it deletes content of \My Documents;\Windows\Start Menu;\Windows\Startup folders (as people wanted
+ TimeZone offset is not resetted anymore
Note:
Make sure you have prepared your customized Start Menu (!!!) and Startup (!!!) folders, otherwise you won't be able to see Programs after hard-resetting your device. Please, check the attached sample to prevent yourself from having problems with this utility or use version 1.0 that don't delete anything

Umm... could anyone translate this into English for me?
I don't even understand the title of the thread.
In another thread, SP says that one of these downloads will retrieve data back on hard resets. Sounds like a useful tool, if only I understood what the hell these posts mean. :lol:

Here we go...
(assuming that you downloaded 'RestoreItV1_1_PPC.ARMV4.CAB' & installed it to your device)
This program is designed to restore your files, folders and registry settings from a ZIP-format archive and it can also write some splash screens
For this purpose, you need to make a ZIP-format archive with files & folders you want to get restored after hard-reset. Just run your favorite pocket zip archiver (for instance PocketRAR) and archive those files & folders that you want to see after hard-resetting device. Name your archive "Setup.zip" and place it to one of the following places: storage, storage card or extended rom.
Before doing further instruction make sure you have unlocked your ExtendedROM using ExtUnlocker.
If your rom is unlocked try to run the utility from \Storage\RestoreIt. If you had no messages after running it, then the utility installed itself successively. And your files & folders placed to 'Setup.zip' will be restored on next hard-resets.
If you're interested in restoring registry settings, then you need to get pocket registry editors that support exporting/saving to .reg files. After saving your favorite registry settings you will need to combine them to one .reg file and name it 'Setup.reg'. Then, you will need to place it to your archive's root folder (aka '\') So, you will have a file 'Setup.reg' placed to the root folder of your 'Setup.zip'. That's all folks
I strongly recommend you to see sample 'setup.zip' & 'manual.txt'
DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR CURRENT '\WINDOWS\STARTUP' & '\WINDOWS\START MENU' FOLDERS TO YOUR SETUP.ZIP!!!
You're welcome to ask me questions anytime!

Aaah, OK. That makes more sense
Sounds like a handy little tool then. Might have a play later.
Thanks, SP!

RAR-support
Is there anyone who is interested in rar-support for restorator?

Attention: Restorator v1.0 & 1.1
Attention: Restorator v1.0 & 1.1 are originally supported by I-Mate 1.72! All you need to do here is to use Extended ROM unlocker prior to running the utility

Feedback
Any feedback so far?

SP,
Restorator seems like a winner!!! I have been hitting my head on the rocks for a while trying to script a recovery using nscriptm as a scripting tool to call cab files which I keep on a storage card. Looks like using your tool a lot of the tedious scripting can be simplified by simply copying the files where they need to go. The challenge is knowing exactly what to copy & where... Is it possible to add the ability to call CAB files to your already excellent utility?
I am imagining putting all the CAB files in say a folder like \CABs in the Setup.zip and then having Restorator calling them one by one after finishing off with all else that it does. Can this be done? Additionally can you add ability to call registry imports at two points? You may wish to call registry import at the beginning and once more at the end after all cab file execution has been completed. This would be useful to restore application settings etc which the cab execution would overwrite to default. You would obviously need to keep two .reg files in the zip file. Does this make sense?
Thanks once again for all your efforts. Regards

Unfortunately I don't have an XDA 1 device at my disposal and I'm unfamiliar with its tech info.
What happens when your xda1 is hard resetted? Does it install cab files? or does it run any configuration software?
If there is a such software (on XDA2 it is autorun.exe placed at ExtendedROM), then you must specify in the runner (which starts on hard-resets) the call to the restorator utility
Looking forward to assist you in porting restorator for XDA1 devices

Sorry for the delay...
I'm having lack of time now, thus I couldn't test it very well . Just let me know if you found some bugs...
Now you can create "\CABS" folder and place your cabs there. They will be processed after extraction and before registry import. So, you don't need to have two .reg files then.
I'm looking forward to your new ideas!
ps: another attachment is a set of registry settings splitted by .reg files. I'm using them to get my setup.reg. Just change what you need, delete some of them and run "make.bat". It will create setup.reg with all your settings.
btw, check out "Usher_-_Yeah_[44k].wma" & "Maroon5_-_This_Love_[64k].wma". Home-made ringtones ;-)))
for those who hadn't used Restorator before. !!! DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR "START MENU" & "STARTUP" FOLDERS TO THE SETUP.ZIP !!! AND READ DA MANUAL!!!
Cheers

SP,
I tried the Restore-It utility today and found that the earlier functionality of copying files & importing registry etc from setup.zip works quite well.
The \CABS folder was also restored onto my device so I guess thats an indication that my setup.zip file was contructed properly. I am sad to report that none of my cab files were triggered by Restore-It though. I think there is a small bug thats holding back this behaviour.
Your kind assistance to check & correct this will be most appreciated.
Thanks & Best Regards

I cant find my "Running Programs"

I just hard reset my magician. Since i'm using big storage (my friend did it), only some of the cab files from extended_rom are installed. Now i just found out that my smart dialing, MMS, O2 plus are not included. It was easy to recover those programs since i know the cab files.
However, i cant find the right cab for "Running Programs". Does anyone know which one? Thx.
Sorry for the bad language

Running programs - do you mean in Settings > system > memory > running programs?
If you need a task killer I can send you one or there's many around.
V

That's the one. Thx . So actually it's not a stand-alone program. Yes i found the running programs.
So, the question is changed now. I need the shortcut to that program. Usually magician has the blue box icon with a picture of someone running. Do you know the shortcut?
Thx.

Just tried to restore that icon from my old backup before it crashed. I thought it was just only a link to some program. But it is not! It is an exe file and after i restored it, click the Running Programs, it says "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
Any clues?

My Running Programs app is in the "default_103133" CAB file from my Mini. I run this file after hard reset.

What does that file do? Just open up the running programs control panel?
If you need it back, just type the following into a text file on your PPC
Code:
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
and save it as Memory.lnk
Then double click on that file.
Tell me if it works ok.
V

@vijay
i just wanna return my magician to the default system . that's why i'm so curious to get back that program.
@ampda
i'll try that file. thx for the info.

I can post my CAB file but it will also add the O2 xda defaults that can with the Aussie unit

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thats right....just install that cab file "default_103133.cab" and you will have your Running Programs app back....that is, if you saved your Ext ROM files before doing the Big Storage patch, or someone can attach that cab file here.
Now my problem is (sorry this might be Off-topic) , how can I have back the AUTOCONFIG for different Telcos, (especially Asian) ? Its also gone after the Big Storage patch. I dont know which of the cab files I need to have it back
anyone have idea or is there a forum for this in Magician?
thanks...

THANK YOU!!! finally i can access my running programs.
anyway, ive another question . let's say i want that program to be installed automatically after I hard reset. how can you do that? so i do not have to restore them manually from my sd card. thx.

To get the menu and icon run O2Auto.sa.CAB, then install the telco(s) you want to be in the autoconfiq menu.

@nsriza, thanks!!! As simple as this, and I can have my Autoconfig back already?
I thought I need to manually edit the autoconfig.txt to change the paths of the cab files?
Btw, I have already installed the cab files for all the Telcos that I need....but not the O2Auto.sa.CAB yet. Is it okay if I install that O2Auto then install again the Telco cabs?
Thanks...

So has anyone knew how to setup auto installation for cab files (eg. MMS, SmartDialing etc) after hard reset? thx

another OOT question...what does autoconfig.txt and config.txt do? and how to use it?
thx

Im assuming your asking for auto installation for after a hard reset using big storage. if you search for "AutoRUn" on this forum you should find a link on how to create an autorun folder on your storage card. you need the autorun.exe (Found in the search for the link) and a folder called 2577 created in the root directory of your storage card. then all you need to do is add all the CABs that you want to auto install after a HR to a ZIP (not Rar) archive and call that archive extROM.zip. then put that in your 2577 directory and hardreset and it will install all the files in the zip. if you havent already installed the cabs you put in the zip it will actually start installing them as soon as you insert the SD card. have a search around you will find lots of info about this subject.

@Speedn
thx for the suggestion. it's very helpful.

@rockafeller
hi i used big storage to convert my german rom (o2 xda mini) to wwe 1.12. now i lost some features like MMS,Smart dialling, Home zone control, O2plus. (as it was the case with you). It would be great if you could share here how did you get them back to work? i mean, i want the procedure to do so. i have a backup of my german rom.
one more question. i dont see the Phone pad option in my text input list after the bigstorage patch. how can i get it back. any suggestions would be so great..
thanx in advance
kk

@visvaram
if you backup ur extended_ROM, u should able to find related cab files, such as MMS**.cab, SMARTDIALING**.cab. Just tap those files and it will be installed automatically. FYI, backup ur cab files first b4 installing.
Im not sure about O2plus and zone files. Anyone care to help?

Wait Cursor

Hello everybody
I searched 10 times this forum but i could not find it
IS there a way to change animated wait cursor ?? in HTC wizard ??
I found this program http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14638&associateid=162
but i don't think it will work with WM5
thanks,
DNO

yes there is a way. the icon is in a dll. so you need a dll editor. there´s a topic here somewhere in the forum. i read it the other day. just can´t remember where. Just look for dll editor or something like that. i think vijay555 changed his once to a hamster. just keep looking.

Yes there sure is.
It is in GWES.EXE and can be edited using a resource editor (google for Resource Hacker)
There are 16 bitmaps in the Bitmap section, running from 1024 to 1039 for QVGA and from 1040 to 1055 for VGA.
QVGA resolution in 32x32, VGA is 44x44
So change them with the resource editor and copy back GWES.EXE to
your device.
Cheers

thanks tweakradje
got it and I sure knwo how to change pics in dll, and exe
thank you very much

I found only gwes.exe.0409.mui in /windows

I think you need to extract it from a ROM.

the file gwes.exe does exist. i can see it if i´m in resco file explorer. but i can´t copy it. i always get an encryption error. and if i go through activsync i can´t see it. then i only see the one you see. with the 0409 on it.

Been looking into this for a while here, but have had no luck in WM5. I had this great Cartman eating Cheesy-Poofs animation in WM2003 that was so much fun.
Both "gwes.exe.0409.mui" and "gwes.exe" contain the icons that make up the animation for the busy/wait cursor.
Using Resource Hacker I made the change for those 16 icons in gwes.exe.0409.mui. Finally got it to overwrite the existing file in the /windows folder by creating a cab that replaced it after a restart. Unfortunately, even though the new file is now where the old one was, I'm still getting the old animation.
Did the same with gwes.exe using Resource Hacker, but for the life of me, I cannot find anyway of overwriting the file on my PPC. When I tried to overwrite by using the cab file install method, I get a message that says the install was unsuccessful because I didn't have permission to modify the file. I wish there were some way to overwrite the file while it was resetting, or even after a hard reset. I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a way to replace it via the Kitchen Rom avenue, but I couldn't do it.
Any ideas?

Hi,
You only need to replace \windows\gwes.exe.0409.mui in this case (rename the old one first) Then after a soft reset the new animation will show.
Mui must be activated though. Check
HKLM\MUI
Enable dword 0x1
Syslang dword 0x409
Cheers

Thanks tweakradje for the tip to rename gwes.exe.0409.mui first. I removed the read-only and system attributes, then renamed it to .old and it accepted that! Then copied my new file over, and I've got my Cartman back!! Wahooo!

Nice to hear. Can you share it here?
I am always interested.
Cheers

I did that and was able to replace the file with the new one checked the reg settings, I also removed the gwes.exe.0409.old file and I still get the old animation. am I missing something?
do I need to edit the gwes.exe file too?

Hi,
Check in your registry if the MUI values are present and that SysLang is set to 0x409. Of course the file must be in \windows.
No need to change gwes.exe if MUI is working.

Seems that with my WM5 it does not want to work with the Reg OK and the MUI files changed. It is still going with the icons in GWES.EXE and I cannot copy it from my device to change those icons and EVEN if I could, I would have to copy it back!
Any ideas how to copy over my GWES.EXE?

Disable the Cube in Touch Cruise

1. Unzip the Disable Cube.zip and copy the folder Disable Cube in storage card.
2. With resco explorer copy the four exe files from the folder Empty Files in windows folder.
3. With a registry editor in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableCube from 1 in 0 and make a soft reset.
The cube will not function anymore and you will have an extra 6,5 mb memory program memory available.
Attention: After you replace the original files, programs like SKTools and MemMaid may show the files "useless" and prompt you to delete them. DO NOT delete those files. If you do delete them by mistake then just restore the files as described in step 2.
In the Real files folder you can find the original files in order to come back whenever you want. Just copy in windows folder and change again the value in registry.

cannot overwrite, it said all files is read-only.......

Τry with resco explorer.

Finally I got rid of this useless cube, and I have more 7MB to RAM.

6.8 MB free and get rid og the Cube

Weird. On my Touch, with a custom ROM I built that hasn't biotouch.exe and other cube resources, that means I would have 7MB more free RAM compared to a ROM on which it's present and active. Yet it's (definitely!) not the case.
Believe me I wish it would be the case

i know you guys said this will give you more access to ram, but does removing the cube speed up the device at all (noticeably?)

oh well.
Maybe someone will make a software that can do this automatically for us?

To complete and correct this error try this:
With a registry editor in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableScroll from 1 in 0 and make a soft reset

There is a similar metod to disable HTC Home?

Black-based Blackstone Dialer

Thanks to the great job from all the greater guys for the Blackstone dialer.

yes unpack the folder of the dialer and go through and manually change each and every part of the dialer using your favourite image editor. Repackage it up and wait for the adulation of the masses, or more likely someone to start moaning at you because you haven't done it exactly as they want you to... ;p

you mean the folder on the ppc itself or the cab provider ? ...
i don't mind doing the photoshop work if i have the jpg/gif/etc ... but i still need someone to package it into a cab ... as i don't know how

I too would like to know if there's a simpler way to do this.
I'm happy to edit all the files myself in photoshop, but...
When I extract the cab file i recieve alot of files with numerical extensions.
Fine and dandy, i've gone through a few of them and changed the extensions so that they are jpg/png etc just so i can view what they are.
Can anyone with previous experience of editing cab files like this write a simple howto, i.e. how to know which files are which and what format they should be saved in jpg/png/bmp/ico etc.

i saw from the _setup.xml file that all the filename are mentioned inside but was wondering if the marker of this cab can release the original package before cab-ing so that I can photoshop all the image file individual before they cab it again ...

Give it ago, I think the pink images need to stay pink though.
I can cab it up if you need to but there are some free cabmakers around..
They aren't hard to use, the main problem I've found is giving them enough permissions to overwrite files..
this one is supposed to be okay, but I haven't tried it.

Wince cabmanager is pretty nice as well, but it costs $99, the demo does 15 cabs I think..

If you do not want to pay for a cab maker to rebuild a cab after you change an image, you can do this by following these steps :
Run MSCEInf. Open the Cab you want to modify (or the TSK which are also Cabs) with the first button.
Make sure that the 9th button is not with red cross. Else click on it. This make sure that extraction preserves Folders names.
Click on the 7th button to extract all files.
Select or create a folder for the extraction.
Extraction is done !
Modify the file you want in the folder or subfolder without changing its name.
Put at the root of the folder you selected or created the Microsoft program (free) CABWIZ. (Do a G....E search)
Open a Dos Windows in the folder (CMD...).
Msceinf has rebuilt the Inf File a the root of your folder so you can do in CMD mode : Cabwiz "name of the inf file".
And your new CAB is at the root of your folder.
Easy, but not really automatic, nevertheless cheaper than with WinCE...

It would be SO cool if someone made a black Blackstone dialer, especially for black Xperia X1s.
I REALLY like the "slide to answer or hangup" function of the blackstone dailer, rather than just the "push to answer" version on the stock Xperia ROM/firmware.

If you do not want to pay for a cab maker to rebuild a cab after you change an image, you can do this by following these steps :
Run MSCEInf. Open the Cab you want to modify (or the TSK which are also Cabs) with the first button.
Make sure that the 9th button is not with red cross. Else click on it. This make sure that extraction preserves Folders names.
Click on the 7th button to extract all files.
Select or create a folder for the extraction.
Extraction is done !
Modify the file you want in the folder or subfolder without changing its name.
Put at the root of the folder you selected or created the Microsoft program (free) CABWIZ. (Do a G....E search)
Open a Dos Windows in the folder (CMD...).
Msceinf has rebuilt the Inf File a the root of your folder so you can do in CMD mode : Cabwiz "name of the inf file".
And your new CAB is at the root of your folder.
Easy, but not really automatic, nevertheless cheaper than with WinCE...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nice one Benoit,
Nothing beats MSCEInf for extraction
That aperitto one looks pretty neat for all inclusive building including reg editing etc.. damn site better than wince cabmaker and is free (for non commercial), so far so good..

I have installed the blackstone dialler by itje its cool but i thought it was this big digit one from blackstone modded for the X1.
Ive tried to download the big digit one from Blackstone but get no dl link by email, I have big sausage fingers and keep making mistakes with the default size touch dialler on the X1 and need a bigger digit keyset to aim my stubby fingers at while making calls.
Is there a big digit dialler available yet for the X1?.
Edit,: Just found this, a nice touch on the dialler by itje is the bluetooth headset icon that when connected changes from the default bt icon to a headset !
