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!
This simple little proggie simply sets write enable/disable of the extended rom and can also hide/unhide it thus allowing for customising config.txt for example.
The alternative: create an ms.nbf file with WM2003 rom editor then dump the whole thing with HimaUpgradeUt.exe, a method that requires time, a pc, and patience (yawn).
Works on my standard WM2003 Himalaya (SPV M1000) but probably works on anything with an extended rom (try at your own risk and report back).
NOTE: shortcuts are based upon files being located in the root of storage, so unrar to storage folder or amend them as necessary.
Hey Guys,
I am trying to add rlToday.cab to my Glofiish M700 Rom,
but after flashing, when the phone is installing the extRom files, it stops after installing the rlToday.cab file.
When I install the software the normal way, it gives a notification that the rlToday-plugin is added to my todayscreen and than you have to push OK.
So I think that I have to push that button, before the extRom installation continues. So, is there any way to unable that notification.
Thanks in advance
This thread has a program that allows CABs that require user intervention to be installed using Autorun. I use it for rlToday, AEButton plus, and Mortbuttons. All three require user intervention during install, and SDconfigGen works great!
Thanks for your reaction. I read about this, but this is actualy not the way I want it, because now you need the ROM, a SD-card + the cab files on it. I could probably edit the .mscr file and put the rlToday cab in my ROM in the Windows folder, but that way you'll have unnessesairy files in your Rom, or yes, maybe I could do it this way, but isn't there any other way??
You know, I am just trying to make the perfect Rom for myself, so it would be realy great if I got it working.
By the way, does anybody know how to add your contact list to your ROM??
SDConfigGen can show you how to setup user intervention, look at the files it generates, use it as an example and edit a few files so that everything works from the Extended_Rom. It's really easy. here is the mortscript I created for rlToday:
Code:
windowTitle = "Setup"
WaitFor(windowTitle, 60)
SendCR(windowTitle)
Just rename sdconfig.txt to config.txt, edit the paths to the files, move a few files to your Extended_Rom image, and you're good to go.
this is the best way to solve your problem.
other solutions:
1. leave LOCK turned off in config.txt and do your own user intervention. (not sure this works)
2. rebuild rlToday.CAB so there is no user intervention.
Hello everyone, put my old kitchen, a little 'restored.
IMPORTANT: To build a good rom, you 1st have to dump an original rom for your preferred device, to have all files needed to build it after (header.xml, splash.xml ecc...)
List of Features:
Check rom version for exchange for new payloads (tested on hd2 rom 3.14 and it worked!), some minor adjustments, the editor, RGU, app.ref etc ..., now always starts as an administrator.
to test it, dump an original rom and then have fun customizing!
New style, new tricks at runtime, new tools for dumping and building !!!!! (Libnb.dll!)
Fixed bugs on inclusion radio.nb and splash.nb !!!!!
Import into .\ext, old-style packages, OEMpack, EXTPack (and also from Cab files
in the context menu is also remodule package (from files to module!) and re-file package (from modules to files!); other bugs solved!
Rapi connection problem solved with device in activesync and remove ring tones, images by default!:
Feature on delete files (ringtones, images (wallpapers) and other images (avatars) from a folder in oem \ langdevice \ .....)
Features to all feedback packages, from kitchen and easily editable text file (packages_usefull_infos.txt) in the root of the kitchen.
Can also import "rebuild dumped roms", from DFT dumped, OSkitchen kitchens and RAW Dumped roms!
Support to run the cabs charged by hands at 1st boot after flash!
Save & restore all tweaks in all the tabs when save/load a rom!
Added info exchange Rom language and Rom on the first use of header.xml libnb.dll nbh file to create!
Added new feature to force the run provxmls in Rom
Now when a dump .NBH, the new build is imported, in your EVK in use!
.\TOOLS folder
Inside the folder .\tools, you will find a new folder: registry_tweaks. The .\registry_tweaks folder includes some sample files. Replace and/or add .REG and .PROVXML files, name the files properly and the .REG files will be added as registry entries, the .PROVXML will be renamed as ****. ZZZZ_ provxml, as files are added. provxml, precisely in the rom and run when you first start to customize the rom as you like
The kitche includes two context menus for adding new .REG or .PROVXML files, edit them or delete if unused one!
Also includes new versions of DSM_editor and implantxip (no fake virus info about, someone in previous version, not me, inserted automatic "admin execution" with a kind of utility, into my implantxip.exe!, and maybe that "trick", was detect as fake virus, now, with my original updated version of implantxip.exe, my kaspersky doesn't find anything!!!!!)
Note
DSM_editor and implantxip (no fake virus info about, someone in previous version, not me, inserted automatic "admin execution" with a kind of utility, into my implnatxip.exe!, and maybe that "trick", was detect as fake virus, now, with my original updated version of implantxip.exe, my kaspersky doesn't find anything!!!!!)
System Requirements.
.NET FRAMEWORK 4.0 to execute new version of visualkitchen and new tools inside (dsm_editor and implantxip!)
Version History
12.2.9: compatible with x64 system machines, was libnb.dll,not was dll, was my exe, only I had to force x86 execution, also on x64 machines, that version was only for x86 machine, now at runtime, it is recreated, if is x64, compatible version is putted into .\tools folder, else a x86 compatible version will be copyed into .\tools folder!!!
12.3.7: package creator added as optiona choice when wanna import a cab into packages!
12.3.7: Added option to turn tricks "reg" to be placed in rom that will be in a good provxml 'forced to be the last to be executed, overriding any settings from other taxes proxml !!!!!
12.3.7: when forced execution provxml, reg cab, the sequence is .PROVXML in Rom, .PROVXML uploaded by you, proxml derived from the reg trick and finally the cabs
12.3.7: added possibility to add and execute a .tsk file into ROM!!!
12.3.9: bug solved on provxml creation when found "delete regkey" or "delete regvalues"
12.4.3: bug solved on save and load roms, new icon for exe!
12.4.3: "reloaded" update pagepool options on new implantxip.exe
12.4.4: solved problems with implantxip value as default
12.4.5: inserted possibility to load, edit and delete mortscript scripts into rom to run (config.txt will be populated with selected scripts) at 1st boot!
12.4.8: when you choice a bmp to became a splash screen, the kitchen automatically check if the format and size is good, if not, automatically modifyes the image, makeing before a backup of it, and adjusts it according to the file "splash.xml"
(I suggest to redump an original rom for your device, becouse there are a lot of libnb.dll, and I've changed in times, so maybe splash.xml, could be different in format!)
12.5.0: updated package_creator, see and edit into \tools folder user_folders.txt to add your own modded folders into start menu for lnk files extracted by cab files; now, all manila-language files will be stored automatically into relative 04XX subfolders, so only real lang-manila files needed will be stored into rom, and before build, cfc_gui.exe will be executed to compress and patch manila, if you want, only have to click on "tools<>patch manila", on cfc_gui.....
see U!
12.5.2: new built of implantxip, and some little little improvements on erviuskitchen.exe!
12.5.3: Added Visual advices for packages that have to be recmode or reversemode!
12.5.6: re-file or re-module packages that you insert into comments like "remodule, or re-file! (only id relative poackage is enabled while build rom!)
solved little bug on packages colouring (same color on "false/true" packages (enabled/disabled!))
12.5.8: solved some trubbles with LZX Compression!
12.6.0: more compatibility with new xipporterex to change rom version on nk.exe into 3.14 TMOUS ROMS! and now recontruct better alla lang files/folders for manila!!!!
12.6.2: Full compatibility with all Language codecs to recontruct well all lang files/folders for manila, and also all MUIS files will be stored in relative language SubFolders!!!
12.6.3: only exe, now remove also all *.cpr files with resolution different thankn used by your device, and store all of them into :\moved\cpr_moved\namepackage\resolution\...

Added compatibility with new 2.09 kn.exe to r/w correctly date/version on ROM!
Added capability to find version/release_date on new wm 6.5 nk.exe!!!
DUMP Process:
Now if dump a stocked rom, in EXT packages it leave relative dsm/rgu, create a global packages.ini (with all dsms infos inside!) and for each EXT Package, create "package.ini" file, with all infos about relative dsm,
All shadows, depepndencies, certificate needed in .\tools folder, it populate "dependencies" and "certificates" folder with all dsms and certs files found during dump process, used to insert/edit all dsms into rom with dsm_editor
OTHER button:
Provides for selection of ULDR reduction, PagePool sizing, disable Certificate
Verification, etc. Settings are stored in: ERVIUSKITCHEN.INI.
Editor:
Addresses issues when using "editor".
Compilation:
Solved bug on 6.5 reak aku roms
Addresses issues when searching structures and duplicate files during compilation.
Added possibility to change max number of modules in an hybrid ROM (nk.exe from 6.1 kernel and XIP From 6.5 kernel) the value is saved on that rom configuration, so every rom loaded has his max-modules value setted
Extraction:
Addresses issues when extracting contents of some device .NBH/.NB files.
Compatibility:
Addresses unsupported Language code (ex: 040C).
Added compatibility with old style rom (IMGFS & XIP).
All modules can be reallocked.
DSM processing; all dsm and rgu are updated/created -only with old_style roms creation! (required for cab.pkg updater support.)
In old style ROM mode; all is executed automatically, XIP porting is automated:***
- Correct realtive device's .VM must be copied to .\OEM\<devicename>\.VM
- Correct XIP.BIN must be copied to .\ROM\SHARED\<buildnum>\
Post-Download Instructions:
Extract the contents of kitchen archive to the root of your hard drive (ex: C:\XDA) to avoid path length errors.
Backup existing kitchen files. Files/Folders to backup are:
- Files in root of kitchen (ex: C:\XDA\My_Visual_Kitchen)
- .\TOOLS folder
Remove (delete) ERVIUSPACKAGES from TOOLS folder (ex: C:\XDA\My_Visual_Kitchen\TOOLS\ERVIUSPACKAGES).
Copy the contents of the extracted archive to the kitchen (ex: C:\XDA\My_Visual_Kitchen\) folder.

Download Link: implantxip.rar 166 KB
implanxip can works with:
all kind of payload file, and more:
if a payload has ULDR removed (ULDR part not present!), it can work on it and reallign well some bytes into MBR
you can also remove completelly the uldr section (you could save some more space into payload in this way! (be attenction: in some payloads this operation causes non-booting roms!!! make a backkup of original
payload before use: "-uldr tryremove parameter!!!)
for help about: in prompt command write: implantxip /h )

Excellent work as always ervius.
Grazie mille.
^.^
That might come in handy for some ppl.
For my part, I'm used to command line as my primary WS is linux based. As a matter of fact, i prefer it.
@Ervius: Do you have any experience in coding for unix/linux?
At some point, pof coded a htc-flasher kitchen, but it was mostly wrappers for the windows programs.
Most of the tools we use for ROM building have their source code available, so...
Anyways, I'm off.
A.
GREAT!!
I'm testing it in my kitchen just today. I'm looks fantastic. Thanks!!.
If now you can integrate your XIP porting tool then.....

this is a alpha version, and stucks on platformrebuilder.exe execution, , but when I have some time more maybe insert all inside, xipporterex and other tools of mine!
can you post it on rapidshare please, megaupload is a menace. thanks.
In any case this is a great work!!.
I've been checking folders structure and adapte it to Spanish (or another language) is really easy. I'm preparing a new ROM, but as soon as I post it in a Spanish site, I'm going to 'play' with this application and l'll inform you about troubles. Thanks !!
On the other hand (I know this is not the best post to speak about), Your active sync killer is not working fine in 2.xx ROMs. Are you preparing a new one? Do you have a solution?. Thank a lot in advance.
Kind regards!!!

you can adapt, but add other languages, near 0409\ and 0410 folders you can add 04xx\ or o8xx\ all you want, the kitchen at start recognizes how many into, and show all into combobox, you only have to choice in witch language want build the rom
for activesync killer, what you refer to, mine or the original by eliasweb???
bye!
I've detected this trouble in both. I've test them in several ROMS based on 'oficial' v.2.xx. I'm going to look for your post and follow this trouble there. Thanks.
..................
this looks better and better. I dearly hope that it will come with some kind of manual.. anything... just to know what to press and which button does what...
Thanks!

visual kitchen version beta1 released at 1st post, and see all ROM\ structures.....
Hi ervius, thanks for your tool.
I was trying beta1.
I have a couple of questions:
i've tried to import a package (generated with package creator) , I browse to the folder containing it, but after the right-click-> import package, it doesn't appear in the list of the applications.
I see it has been copied to the EXT folder but nothing more.
Also importing a package resets all the choices I made on what packages to include/exclude
If you need more details just ask
Thanks
A.
very nice, I will test this this week, and see if i notice anything. once again thank you

bye!!!
P.S.: at first post "beta 2" is ready (some bugs solved!)
I finally found a way to overcome space issue that cause BuildIMGFS throw error when you put too many files in the ROM using captaintrip's kitchen
The repack used imgfsfromdump instead of buildimgfs which avoid the size issue and in additon can reduce the final size of flash.dio
The usage are the same with captaintrip's kitchen, I only rename the bat to "iPAQ61x_91x flex kitchen" since this works for both 61x and 91x
You will need to rename flash.dio to TEMPLATE.ROM and put it under ROM folder, when you run iPAQ61x_91x flex kitchen.bat it will also prompt you,follow instruction
keep in mind if you use flex kitchen to build your rom won't be able to extract it properly, anyone want to edit your room will need your kitchen instead. If you don't have buildimgfs issue you may want to stick with the old way of building rom
use iPAQ614c Rom Kitchen.bat if you want to build your rom in old way
Updated July 7th: attached new cecompr_nt.dll that fixed memory leak, necessary for LZX compression, replace the one under TOOLS folder
Download (v0.3):

FCC Information for 610c
FCC information for 910c
----------------------------------
Structure Overview
XIP is the kernel, this is also what you see those 2xxxx build mean, the whole term is called "Execute in Place", i.e execute files in rom directly without copying to ram, this is for boot process, anything wrong mean you will stuck in clean boot
OEM is for device/manufacturer specific program/drivers
SYS is for Windows Mobile system files
A package is a folder with at least a dsm file,all other files are extra
-rgu file is just reg file which you can use notepad to edit
-default all files goto Windows directory (obviously exclude rgu file)
-initflashfiles.dat/txt is a text file with instruction to move files to different directory
Files vs Modules
Modules are folder with ".dll" in their names. Inside the folder there is imageinfo.bin, S00X where x is a digit. When they are cooked into ROM they will become dll with proper relocation (done by WMReloc/G'Reloc). Supposedly being modules would make them load faster(because no need to relocate at runtime?) and some dlls must be in modules or else some program will not work properly. However there are also cases that modules must be converted to files.
Technically you can put everything in SYS since at the end buildOS will merge everything together but it is easier to manage if you follow the OEM/SYS structure
Common Issues TroubleShooting
hang on 1st boot screen (HP Logo)
-XIP porting issue, .rom , .vm file not correct .etc
hang on 2nd boot screen (WM splash screen)
-module did not relocate properly (did you run WMReloc or GReloc?)
-XIP (lower possibility, i don't think it affect..just in case you should keep in mind)
hang/crash on today screen
-software conflict/missing .etc , check your SYS/OEM files
Endless HP update/customization engine
-happens because of different model uses different customization engine, using one from other model/region will cause it to rerun every boot time, the only solution seem to prevent it to run from start by removing it from initflashfiles.dat. Convert all the fix into packages and integrate to the rom instead
installed SIP(virtual keyboard) cannot be switched
-use recmod (under tools folder) to convert all modules into files in browsingie folder
cannot compose new sms/email .etc
-replace redist_lang_[lang_code] folder with one that worked before
wifi cannot turn off after boot
-set HKLM/Comm/SDIO86861/Wireless to 1
XIP
To insert ported xip, run this command: osnbtool -c TEMPLATE.ROM 1 xip_out.bin
where xip_out.bin is your new XIP file
xip porting tutorial can be found all over the place in xda/ppcgeek .etc
Also make sure in ROM folder, the boot.rgu is from your device xip (the kitchen I provided only contains 61x xip so to cook for 91x you need to put 91x boot.rgu instead)
Phone Radio
rilgsm.dll is needed but usually it is in OEM folder
PagePool
Overview: xda wiki
edit using pagepool_by_wlodixon under flash folder, copy your flash.dio and run the appropriate cmd
The only exception is if the rom set pagepool to 0 (Dynamic PagePool), it won't able to recognize and you have to hex edit
hex edit the xip.bin at 0x000A75E4, change all 4 bytes to your desired value (all 0 for dynamic pagepool)
Convert cab to OEM
get package creator here
use it to open cab, then wince cab analyzer opened, choose extract folder icon, after close wince cab analyzer, you will be present with shortcut screen, do you things and hit done, finally hit complete package unless you want to change some option
Create simple cab for file/reg changes
get QuickCab
Xt9
corresponding lang files in OEMApp/OEMLang_#### where #### is the 4 digits lang ID
-[2letter langs code]hpd.ldb
-[2letter langs code]lbUN_xt9s/lsUn/.etc].kdb
-et9.SQR.[Language].bmp [Optional, some language like Polish/Portuguese just point to english bmp in registry]
-[a bunch of number/digit known as GUID].rgu (if you open it up you will find there is registry on xt9)
also under OEM\OEM_Lang_[Lang number]
-initflashfiles.dat (actually you can use notepad to open it and seacrh for ldb/kbd/bmp to see which lang files )
cooking different language
-you will need your language OEM folders from original HP rom
-your language wince.nls
-replace all language mui (e.g 0409=English) with your language mui
-some languages may added extra folders, be sure to copy them into SYS too
-sometime the hp customization/update will end up endless run in every start, in this case you will need to prevent it from running and integrate all updates into the ROM
OptionXML Addon
I have written this small .Net 3.5 App to generate option.xml for SYS packages which will allow you to select the common package and different language more easily without moving folders all the time, just unzip the zip to kitchen which will overwrite the existing batch file and put the exe under TOOLS folder.
To select/UnSelect a category in BuildOS, you can click on the Category group (e.g click on 0409 will select all 0409 packages in SYS), then click on one of the packages will select/unselect the whole group
Reserved for extra space in case
-------------Step by Step guide for xip porting-----------------------
Make sure you read this tutorial first
1. copy(either get it from kitchen or dump it using osnbtool) the existing xip_out.bin and rename it to xip.bin, open xipport, click dump xip.bin and you will get a OUT folder
2. choose write map then make packages , now rename this out folder to some other name
3. dump the new xip(from other device) using osnbtool, rename it to xip.bin & do the same as step 2 with xipport
4. now copy MSXIPKernel & MSXIPKernelLTK under Modules and Files folders from OUT folder(from step3) and overwrite to corresponding 61x OUT folder(from step1)
4.5 as said in the xda tutorial, remove hd.dll, osaxst0.dll folders and their corresponding text files under modules to avoid physical address overlap
5. use xipport to undo and then realloc and write maps. Then you check map files to make sure there is no !!!(memory address overlap) I recommend using XIP address tools to check for overlap, sometime you will get error when you realloc (key already exist .etc), use xip address tool and set work folder to OUT then you will see error on first dll addr which you have to fix all highlighted red cell(overlapped address). Note that to fix first dll addr address you have to highlight the cell, enter the new start address on the V address cell in bottom, click modify, then use mouse to highlight the 1A cell above, and change the D address cell to the same as V then click modify button(on the right of V cell). You should see the change in table then. For virtual base overlap you only need to modify V cell only
Note: first dll addr overlap will result error when you click realloc in xipport.
The goal is have no overlap as shown in MAP.txt. When there is no more overlap, use xipport to build xip_out.bin and then insert the xip into the dio file using osnbtool
Commands:
extract xip: osnbtool -d flash.dio 1 xip.bin
insert xip: osnbtool -c flash.dio 1 xip.bin
also make sure your ROM\boot.rgu is from your device xip

LZX Compression:
The default compression algorithm for ROM is XPR, if you must include lots of files that causes your resulting rom >80mb under XPR(81920kb - ROM Size limit for 61x, bigger than this the device won't boot), you need to use LZX compression. It reduces rom size by ~13% but with ~1-3% performance hit(from other post I read, I never verify the performance hit).
To use LZX compression, you need to replace the cecompr.dll folder in XIP Modules with the one attached in this post. Re-port the xip (realloc + write map + build xip_out.bin) and then use osnbtool to inject the xip inot TEMPLATE.ROM.
Then hex edit the imgfs_raw_data.bin in the rom kitchen, replace the first string "XPR" without quote you found with "LZX" without quote.
Make sure you have replace the cecompr_nt.dll under tools folder of the kitchen with the one I attached in 1st post to avoid memory leak
Now just build normally, you will notice the time to inject file will take much longer because of the compression
Is there any ROM kitchen tools for hp iPAQ h6365 WM2003?
Wow great kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
here, here! keyx you da man
One thing though - when you say this:
Phone Radio
if you are using SYS from other device, make sure you replace ril.dll and phone.dll from a working rom in phoneRedist or you will get a phone radio not installed which disable phone function
rilgsm.dll is also needed but usually it is in OEM folder

I'm not sure that is actually correct. I've been using ril.dll and phone.dll from all kinds of donor SYS; these are OS files that should be generic. It is only rilgsm.dll that is manufacturer-specific.
you are right, I corrected the post
I think I do anything wrong...
If I extract your ROM(WM 6.5 Beta 3.81) and put it together to a ROM again, it is 10MB smaller.....After extracting this, its 1MB smaller...
Question is, why?
Greets
chucknican
actually for unknown reason if you use my kitchen to build rom, you won't able to extract it properly...i am not sure why. But currently it is the only solution for me to overcome buildimgfs error
so the solution is that I use captaintrip's kitchen to extract and yours to build it together again?
I can't get this kitchen to build my ROM. The after WMReloc does the modules rebase, I get the following feedback...
Code:
Injecting files ...
Input file imgfs_raw_data.bin cannot be opened. Exiting.
In fact, when I watch the temp folder during this process, I see no imgfs_raw_data.bin at all. In your new script, I can't see where this file would come from anyway.
Help?

no in fact i will need to upload a kitchen as the result rom using my flex kitchen will not be extracted properly

you have to run "prepare_imgfs flash.dio -nosplit" to get the imgfs_raw_data.bin first, this process is done when you extract a rom before but if you just directly use it to build a rom you need to manually run the command on a flash.dio first
Also keep in mind if you use flex kitchen your rom won't be able to extract properly, anyone want to edit your room will need your kitchen instead. If you don't have buildimgfs issue you may want to stick with the old way of building rom

So... these files go in the root folder? That's what works for me anyway. Hmm... I think this could be easily added to the script, if you ever have to release an update to the kitchen. Anyway, thanks.
21501 kitchen added on 1st post
EDITED: kitchen updated to detect missing of imgfs_raw_data.bin and extract it automatically, I also updated some tools versions
ADC and Ipaq Data Connect
Are both of these necessary? When both are installed the ADC seems to run first and configures a "Proxy Internet" Profile in the Connection Manager which lists all 3 possible connections for my data carrier, even though I can only use the internet2.voicestream.com with T-Mobile. Maybe I am not using this correctly, but once I removed the ADC, the ipaq data connection worked fine and I was able to connect to the internet without a problem. Is this all this app does, or is there another usage that I should leave it installed for?
Thank-you
you can remove ADC if you don't want it, i think it just help to setup data connections
Customization
Keyz
I have removed some of the OEMs from the kitchen, but am not sure that I modified the initflashfile.dat correctly,will you look at it for me and see (I highlighted what I have removed)? If I remove the entire last 3 lines that contain the Utility file the device does not reboot from sdlauncher when installing. When I leave the last line in it is very speedy to install and reboot, but I have the empty utility Folder in my programs folder! I also had tried to add the BSPropCab.cab to the OEM folder but cannot get it to install correctly. I saw that you had it installed in one of your previous roms along with the other 2 arc cabs. The arc cabs I can get to work, but I really dont want to put them in, just the bsprop. Is this possible?
In OEM I added Coreplayer, PdaNet, SKTools5, Live Search, Google Search and WM5torage1.9. I had to add Google Search in here because I could not get it to work by adding the original files back into the OEM App folder: In Systems I removed ADC, VOIP and One Note, replaced NETCF with NETCF3.5, and added Transcriber back in. I thought about removing WMWidgets, I use all SPB Software, but I dont understand all of its functions, I have Googled it and there really isnt alot out there about it. What I did find though makes me think Microsoft will add more function to it once the official 6.5 is officially released-So I will keep that. For me this is a very good ROM, you have done an excellent job with modifying the kitchen.
Thank-you

Where do you test the new roms? In the device or in somekind of emulator?

what do you mean by bsprop not installed correctly? if you convert it to OEM folder correctly it should work but if you leave the customization engine run on startup there is no point to preinstall bsprop since it will reinstall again from ipaq file store(unless you did not install the update before).
Also if you modify initflashfiles.dat i believe you should use hex editor to remove the FF FE header added by notepad.
Sometime when you flash a lot the device will act weird & does not reboot from flashing, you can try to clean boot it or reflash. I think you can remove all highlighted entries without issue. You may need to leave a blank line at the end of file though.
wmwidget is a widget engine that can run apps that use pie as a container/interface, for me it looks kinda like a shortcut to a webpage, msn weather/money .etc are the sample widget come with 6.5 for now. You can remove it if you don't use it.
