Is possible to group several cabs in one cab?
I want it to save in the Extended Rom of my TyTn, so that when I do a HardReset, automatic it starts to install all the modifications of registry and some programs that I have in several cabs from the pocket, without need of pc.
I search on the forum, but I don´t find any solution.
Thanks
Well first off, if you use the autorun.exe that already exists in the extended ROM and modify its configuration file (the name may be different for different devices, but it is usually a plain text file) you can get it to install several cabs in sequence.
Combining cabs is not always possible unless you are the one who created them in the first place.
Get a program called CE Cab Manager. It will show you everything that a given cab includes and let you edit it. As long as it's just files and registry settings there is no problem stuffing them all in one cab.
But if a two cabs contain a setup.dll there is no way of combining them without knowing exactly what that DLL does (it could be anything) and thats almost impossible (unless you can read ARM assembler well).

what levenum said is correct... so the best thing for you to do is to edit the config.txt file in your extended rom to have them install... HOWEVER if the cabs you are using arent digitally signed then they wont install using that method, you would need to disable the security first... Since no one has a signed disable security cab that works with the tytn the only option would be to do this on a hard reset; soft reset before the customization, when it boots run the tweak program to disable security, then go to the windows directory and manually launch the preautoconfig.exe
software alternatives
tristan1412, you can also use a software dedicated to this task.
check spb airsetup (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com, i'm not sure if it allows more then one cab), or even better airwizard (http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=airwizard)
the advantage of these programs is in my opinion the compression. then you also get several options like readme/eula (with airwizard you have spash image support and even sd card output support - that creates autorun content for the sdcard)
hope this helps

First of all, thanks for the answers.
now, How can signed digitally my own cabs??
Is there a complete list of what reg settings are?
We need to set various default settings when users start our app.
eg volume, display brightness, gprs always etc etc.
any help appreciated .
cheers
stevew
doubt there is a compleat list
as ms are free to add and remove
regs with each version of wm
also there are many many many regs
most of which users and developers for that
matter should and have no reason to change
easy way would be to make the list of the things
you need changing and find the regs (if any exist)
and make your own of cause i could be wrong (but me being wrong i'm afraid is the harbringer of great challanges for mankind )
Simple.
1. Use a backup software to backup your current status of your phone.
2. Do a hard reset.
3. Use some registry copy software to copy all registries out onto your SD. This Registries will be your reference or default.
4. Every install of a new software registries changes. Copy the registries out again and you can make a comparison with text editors.
5. After going through all your installs, you will get all your different registries (default after reset, default of each apps install, etc).
6. After which you can do another hard reset and restore your backup. And you can also copy the registries for analysis.
i want to really pimp out my phone but as keep reading through all the threads I end up being confused. cab files, zip files, TF3D config, clocks. what and where do i start and how do i install these files. let me know what do i need to post to help me do all of these mods.
help will be greatly appreciated!!
fottenlahi the only way is to learn is read the post's cause the instructions are really simple enough I was a noob once but I read read and read and learnt how to do the basic stuff....
as whitefalcon says, you have to read, try, hard reset if needed and learn.
You will get a hold of it quite fast.
To answer quickly :
-zip files can be opened on the ppc like on a desktop
-cab files are like the install files of your desktop, copy theme to the ppc click on theme and they insatll a programme.
-TF3D config allows you to tweak the touchflo 3D (change tabs order, remove tabs...)
- clock, well change the clocks
On the what and where to start, it depends on what you want to tweak, no one can decide for you...
know how you feel - but best way to learn is to try. Having said that, let me know what it is you want to do and I will post pointers for you.
Good luck!!
Maybe it is a little difficult to fresh, however:
zip is just like the rar or 7z or zip in windows system.
cab could be describled as the exe files in Windows, so, dobule-click it and do next.
clocks and config are some kind things of make your diamond more smart and suit your using habbit, so you could learn it later.
After all, you do not need to care about those difficulties, your phone is well enough when you buy it, so take it easy,dude.
thank you guys for trying to help me out. okay i have been doing some testing and my results are... i figured out how to install themes, fonts and clocks through cab files. it was a no brainer since i have previously owned a HTC touch pretty simple. now i tried to install the TF3D config and it gives me errors. I followed instructions about checking DWORD and it was what it was and error still showed, second step though about deleting tweaks dont know were to go to delete that.(if someone can guide me through that. i have asked before but didn't get an answer.)
what i currently have on my Diamond.
1. shakass V2 (theme installed through .cab. awesome theme)
2. .net framework 3.5 (both 3.5 and 2.0 "2.0 came with my rom")
3. yota contacts (really nice but eliminates the default quick access menu)
4. registry editor
5. advance config 3.3
is there some other apps i need to get?
should i use TF3D config or Manila customizer?
thought this might help, i have a
1.09.651.5 ROM
1.00.00F RADIO
Windows Mobile Package Manager 0.0.2
Windows Mobile Package Manager will help you to create software bundles and install them on WM device unattended.
Currently, it's only early pre-alpha software, to ensure that concept is working. So, expect software crashes
Description:
The life of WM device, is hard. Constant ROM flashing, re-install everything, or recover from backup. Owning WM device for an year, I really hate to reinstall everything after new ROM flash, so i decided to make software that will capture the essence of "your device":
With this application you can create package, that will do those things:
Install software that you like
Restore application configuration / settings (via registry)
Copy your files to device (video / pictures / etc.)
How it works:
Every .cab file, have information about itself. What it's name, how it should be installed and where. This application WILL MODIFY .cab information, so that it will be installed to the path, that you want. This is done, to allow unattended installation. (maybe you have a better solution than wceload.exe /noaskdest /noui /nodelete)

Great Work... looking forward to see the "TODO" workin'.
good work, waiting for your next versions!
couple of suggestions:
- integration with XDAUC
- add \Internal Storage\Program Files
- auto-load last configuration
- fix the typos in: "Instalation path managment" => "Installation path management"

1. What is XDAUC? Kind a.. never heard of it
2. You can add it manually, and it should be saved for you, when you start app next time.
3. Ok
4. Ok. Anyway, this screen will be re-design

Registry import, is almost complete, file copy should be simple to do.
It will generate .cab file for your .reg file. This was the easy way to implement this. But there is a drawback.. it does not allow non-ASCII characters in registry section of the .cab setup.
Updated to 0.0.2
Changes:
* Added registry support.
* Added file copy support.
* Updated usage video.
Feel free to try it
One question...
I export the Reg files with SKTools, but when i import them to your aplication there's no registry file tree...
Can you explain how to backup the reg files?
Thanks and keep up the good work!

hm, can you attach your .reg file that was not parsed correctly?
did you by any chance exported the whole device registry (ie registry backup?)
Provisioning xml files support
Would you add support for parsing provisioning xml files?
Great app! Are you planning to make a mobile version (for making changes 'on the fly')? Another superb option for mobile version would be backup! For backing up current registry entries (specified in a ini file - something like in this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491175).

1. hm, to restore provisioning.xml? Could be possible.
2. For the mobile version... it defeats the purpose of this app As you can make changes on PC very quick. For the PocketPC version.. i have a doubt about it.
3. Currently you can use CERegEditor to export specific application keys. Again on PC with mouse I found this idea interesting.. but we will see how things will move

1. Great!
2. I understand you but don't agree, that it defeats the purpose of this app. I would say it extends its usage (I can imagine, that I need it, but don't have my laptop with me... and this isn't only imagination - I already use some tools to do that). No doubts, that on a PC you can make it more comfortably, but...
3. I know and I use CeRegEditor often, but when I can use just one app... Another thing I can make a real up-to-date backup (many apps have their settings in registry and settings can change from time to time). This option would be great specially for the mobile version.
4. And what about restoring PIM backup (e.g. from PPCPIMBackup)?
I am a flashing junkie and I'm searching for such app for a long time (I wish I could make my own app, but I'm not a programmer).
I hope you understand 'my' english

2. Yes, but it's not the main use-case It's just adds additional overhead for the development, as you have to sync the mobile client and the PC client. If for example mobile client is used only by 2-3 people
3. I'm already thinking for a way to do that Probably via ActiveSync. So, for example in the UI you could define, what registry keys should be backuped, save this info in some config, and re-apply to different device. Again ,when you creating package, you can attach your WM device, and get those registry keys on the fly to the app. Something like.. live migration from WM device
4. Yes, this is good idea Again, goes well with the described above
Yes, I also like to try new ROMs.. and also was searching for something like this.. or at least the automatic .cab installation Didn't find app that suits me.. so decided to make one
I got some errors by restoring (copying) folders: e.g. "Could not find file 'Storage Card\CopyApplication Data' (when I want to restore Application Data folder).
Is it a bug or is just by me?
thx
Many Thanks
Thanks for this wonderfull application
I know there are some other auto installation programmes, but I find this program very simple and usefull. Please continue to develop it.
I only try software install software, not registry nor file transfer.
Up to now, I found a small bug :
During software installation (nearly 14 items) process, the information at the info page disappeared at the middle of installation. But after the installation finished, "Installation Finished" explanation displayed.
Could you please include a SETTING Page to select which programmes will be installed. For now, it can only be used during the first full installation. According to me, Selection option will be very usefull and make your wonderfull programme better and usage
Again my thanks and hoping to see new versions.

1. you mean, that during instalation on your device, the screen of app does not refresh? This could happen, as the instalation process takes all available CPU. I was thinking about making re-draw in the high priority thread, but then.. it's only drawing pictures and not adding value.. so it was left as it is, to give more resource for application installatin.
2. yes, this could be done

Hi again,
Yes, the screen of app does not refresh. So I could not see which programme was installing at that time
Thanks for accepting my request.
Cool thanks!
Any New Version please
Any New Version. Waiting it
Sorry, not yeat
Thanks, I really like this because UC didn't work well for me. It is really nice and it almost looks like an official app. Great work!
Thanks
This is a great concept. As a "mad ROM flasher" this will save me lots of time and head aches. Looking forward to seeing the development of this APP. Keep up the great work!
ok my question in here might have been asked in the paaast but now i can not find the answer..
if we have serial no for some appz for registartion..
so every time when we flash rom or do hard reset wehave o set up owner name and enter that sn to that application./
what a ****..
so any way to create .reg file that contain info both owner name and sn for particular appzz.
like
XXXXX app
owner:XXXXXXX
SN:XXXXXXX
and voilaaaa cook it in rom and forget about everything

Just get sk tracker and use it to find where the registration keys are stored. Of course this stuff can be cooked in. I must have 20 paid-for apps that I cook in with all the reg info. It's usually in an obvious place (especially sk tools; c'mon, it takes no effort to find that one). It's normally just in the apps registry keys; sometimes it's a file (ae button; resco keyboard). In rare cases, it requires multiple reg keys that are kind of hidden (Phatware Database Editor).
I would expect you're already cooking in user settings, so you should have found some by accident. Don't tell me you input fresh preferences for SK Tools after every flash?!? The registration info for all SK software is all in hkcu/software/sk. You should just have the entire key in an app.reg in you sk tools package.
C`mon guys... dont do it again... you have all the info in the main stickie... check the so many regs tweaks thread link for that and dont hide the m,ain question with another bud... and dont prvide serials... is not good even if it isnt a real one or what ever...
Edited post.
if i m not wrong there is a pc tools that can make mortscripts..
if yes then anyone help me to find out..
i do just googling but not yeild whatt i want..
its only about mortsripts..
This isn't really a rom cooking question, anyway. This is a flashing/restoring question. The best place to find answers to questions about restoring user settings is in threads on sashimi or UC or XDA_UC. There are many threads out there that catalogue where user settings for specific applications are stored. Cooking them in is pretty trivial.
mortscript download has files to install both in pda or in desktop pc. The syntax is the same but some commands are restricted to the pda. In addition to xda_uc there are two other threads: the mortscript compendium and mortscript examples. you can restore provxml/xml files with mortscript, xda_uc, sashimi (they are all mortscript), with a cab, with a UC file, runcc, with sk tools and most of backup programs, etc, etc. you can do it sending keys to the screen or writing to the registry / restoring files. You can also restore many things: passwords, voice labels, contacts, configurations, bt pairings, wifi connections, email accounts, weather parameters, etc...It is a whole world but no distributed ROM should contain any registration keys.

Well, you'd be nuts to do that, since you'd also have to have your own owner info cooked into the rom. That's a recipe for disaster, lol. This is more for cooking personal roms (which is all that I do).
can someone hel me how to cook xda"uc?
i tried everything but that is not working
