Ext Rom Customisation

Hi All,
I am meddling with my ext rom. I am setting it to auto install s/w upon hard reset. it works fine. I found out that when i hard reset the pda and phone volume is set to half. How do i make it to full ? Also, i would like to know
how do i move some files to some other folders. eg: ringtones, etc.

One option is to use the CAB Wizard and create a Small CAB File with your settings for Registry - Cab wizard allows you to put files into specific folders etc and all this you can do without writing ONE SINGLE LINE OF Script.
Another option is to do it via script :
In the config.txt you can add the lines :
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\CabInstall.exe
CPY2:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CabInstall.exe
Means the Cabinstall.exe will be copied from the extended_Rom to the Programs folder in Windows\Start Menu.
The Registry keys you can check out on the link :

If they are not there - PM me and I shall send them to you...

thanks! I downloaded the PHM Reg editor and followed the instructions under Microsoft Application Installer -> Changing the setting so that it asks you where to install a cab on the link above..
It worked.. my ipaq now ask me where to install the cab files!
brilliant... thanks again!

K-JAM CAB Delete Disable tool - Stop CAB files being deleted

I made a little CAB file which contains a reg key to prevent CAB files from being deleted after you install them.
Just run this on your K-JAM and no more CAB files will be deleted.
(Although ironically of course it still deletes this CAB file since the change doesn't take place until after the install finishes and this file is deleted.)

Neat!

I store CAB files in zip files, when I want to install anything, just open it and run from zip. This way my CABs are not deleted either.

I think it's enough if you set the Read Only attribute on the CAB file.

my solution is CabInstaller program. simply copy it on your wizard, run it and check two options:
[x] Do not delete CAB file
[x] Associate CabInstl with CAB files
from now on, CabInstaller will popup after every CAB file installation attempt, then just click install and that's it!

I've got my cabs on a storage card, and within totalcommander you can
set the properties of the cabs to "read only",
this works like a good workaround for me, some cabs i want to be deleted,
some not..

I agree^^^. I set them to read only before I copy them to the device and they are fine. If you have something like total commander or resco explorer then you can set the Read Only attribute on the device.

Using xplode's cabs as the extended rom

FIXED! NOW IT SHOULD WORK!
I hope this can help some of you.
To use xplode's cabs as the extended rom first you need to create a folder on your SD card named ExtROM
Then you need to extract all files from the cabs.rar to this folder (ExtROM on your SD card). You will need winrar or 7zip to extract the files.
Now go to ExtROM folder and rename the file SAMPLE_CFG.TXT to CFG.TXT. You can edit this file to customize it to your needs.
The final part is to download this file: extromtools.rar and extract the file autorun.exe and OemExtDll.dll to the ExtROM folder on your SD card.
Now you need to hardreset your device or simply execute CheckAutorun.exe which is located on your windows folder.
More info here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Understand
Execution of the Extended ROM
* CheckAutorun.exe (which is started from \Windows\Startup\CheckAutorun.lnk) executes the AutoRun.exe
* AutoRun.exe is found in the \Extended_Rom Folder
* AutoRun.exe reads the \Extended_Rom\Config.txt and executes the commnands in that file
* The pointer for AutoRun.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AutoRun is set to \Extended_ROM\AutoRun
* The pointer for Config.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AutoRunCFG is set to \Extended_ROM\AutoRunCFG
* The Touch screen is disabled by the first command (TPDisable.exe)in the Config.txt
* The Touch screen is enabled by the 2nd to last command (TPEnable.exe)in the Config.txt
* The last Command of the config.txt (RST) performs a soft reset

Excellent, looking forward to your new cab. I also need MMS but it didn't work for me.

also by the way you can always use this for loading xml configurations

[SOLVED] Install Cabs in Config.txt, Then Auto-Delete Shortcut.lnk files?

I have cabs set to autoinstall in my config_ap.txt, but they also automatically create shortcut icons in the start menu which I dont want there; I would just load them in as EXTs except the programs have a few bugs that way.
Is there a way to install cabs via config.txt and in the same file delete the shortcut icons? Or is there some other way to force an autodelete of those Start Menu Icon shortcuts after the cab installs?

Yes, it is possible. I use Mortscript to remove/move shortcuts.
Entries in config.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
LOCK:Disabled
CAB: \windows\xxxxxxx.cab
EXEC:\Windows\[B]DelReglnk.mscr[/B]
Entries in DelReglnk.mscr:
Code:
Delete ("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\yyyyyyy.lnk")
i just create and package folder in EXT of kitchen and drop config.txt, mortscript file and the cab in the "files" folder

Either use the mortscript method, or better yet, edit the cabs and put the shortcuts where you want them.

This.
Edit the cab and remove the icon or point it to a new path.

Thanks to all. Ted, I ended up getting WinCE Cab Manager and deleting the shortcuts from the cabs.
Thanks everyone.

[SOLVED] Resco Explorer in ext package

Does anybody has Resco Explorer in ext package?
Tried to do it but i miss resco registry and resco ftp.
Thanks!!

What exactly do you want to get? I have it (selfmade).... But it's free for sure....
One more thing - I use OEM regular structure - not EXT (For OsBuilder). It's a normal package - with rgu and dsm.... Registry is a separate cab - you should add it to the package. FTP is a part of explorer - just added features.

Well, in Resco site there is one cab for all the subprograms that are included in the resco 2010 8.10 version.
It is this cab I tried to convert to ext package.Everyrhing works except registry function.
Thanks anyway.

Attached is the app.reg (renamed to app.txt because of forums limitations) file that I use for Resco Explorer with FTP and Registry plugins added.
I didn't clean it up so it also contains the keys and values for the options and settings that I prefer having.
For future reference, I had the same issue as you at first then I used a tool called Kheb to monitor the registry changes that happen when I install cabs and customize everything. Kheb can also make diffs between different registry snapshots and even generate OEM packages based on such diffs.

I did apply your REG file, but Resco Registry not work yet, the problem is a SETUP.DLL in to the Resco Explorer CAB, it contains a secret instructions and I believe that is impossible to open it, anyway I saw some cooks with Resco Explorer and Registry in their ROMs, it's obvious that they know the secret.
I also want to know.....pleaseeeee

Make the package with cab to package software (there is in all kitchens) and then replace the reg and app.dat files with the ones attached and cook it.Works for me.
The idea goes to MusicMonk but his attached file doesnt work for me.

Just use Kheb like MusikMonk suggested; it will capture all of the reg keys that are installed by the setup.dll. You can also look in the setup.dll with notepad and probably see the keys that are installed.
If you're trying to backup you registration info, it's stored in a file in \windows called wmtrigger.dat. All of Resco's registration codes are stored in that file, so if you have several of their apps, that's all you need.

I did apply your REG file but not works for me, anyway thanks for your help, mate.
I made a CAB file from the original Resco Explorer CAB, I deleted all files except SETUP.DLL and later run it and VOILA!!! the Resco Registry works !!!!!
Unfortunately I don't need it, I need the secret instructions in SETUP.DLL, I did open it using UltraEdit but I can't find nothing.

try this it should work, but your still gonna need the code as this is not cracked

Thank you, mate, but I found the secret reg keys in the setup.dll file. I used CeRegEditor to create a registry image, later install the cab with setup.dll and I created a image again, and finally I compared the first and second image to detect the differences.
I made a new reg and all works now
Thank you very much mates

fully working resco explorer package
Fixed some shortcuts added rtoday plugin, resco update, task manager that was missing and ftp in previous packages and is attached below.
Of course it needs the usual registration process.

Have you managed to have in built registration code in it so that you dont have to feed the registration key after the installation?

The registration code is in the wmtrigger.dat file in windows folder which is created after registration.
So you have to copy this folder after registration and put it in your kitchen.

All Resco products write registration to one file It's well known for ages and it's no need to discover anything. So if you decide to use several resco products - you should install and register them all and then save the summary wmtrigger.dat - it will be one for all installed Resco-s..... And for sure - system User name should be the same for all your roms - it's also fixed in that file...
One more tip: if you occasionally decide to use cracked resco products - you will get a conflict if you use for example one legal and one cracked program simultaneously in one rom. So better use all registered.

You can use sktracker in your phone.
This program traces the changes in registry and files so if you create a snapshot with the program and then install or register applications or change the options and user settings in applications (you better do it program by program) you can easily find the changes and apply them each time you change your rom.
I apply all mods with sashimi but there are other choices also.

I used to find the registry part of any cab or software by saving the registry and comparing the one before and after with the help of registry workshop on my PC, but did not know that there exists a utility with which wmtrakker.dat"" type of new file creation can also be found out.
Thanks a lot bro!!!

It's very good

Does anyone know how to backup Resco Customizations ( e.g ToollBar Shortcuts etc ? )
