Program Packages & Creating Cab Files

Hey...
i am awaiting my new 8525(hermes) to arrive from Cingular and was wondering if anyone can give me a link or tuturial of how to make cab files for installation of progams to the different phone types. i have a whole bunch of packages collected from various kitchens and have been practicing on my wife's MDA(against her consent) and have gotten good at repacking the roms. However i know alot of the developers and moderators are working on thier latest roms and such and was hoping to do my part at helping those just looking for cabs. so if anyone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction so i may start practice in order to do my part for the community i would be ever so happy.
P.S. if anyone is looking for a particular program package and does not wish to search through every kitchen, PM me and i will search my BU drive (now affectionately name the "XDA Developers" drive) and see what i can dig up for ya .

Hey Wolfdragon, Here's a link to a freeware (for personal use) cab file creator that I found a while back but haven't really played with too much yet. It has a wizard that will help you create a cab file from a package.
I hadn't played with it much yet because I thought that you had to create a setup.xml document for it and I haven't decided to get around to learning how to do that yet, but I just decided to make a cab file from a package and it makes the setup.xml document for you.
Anyway, here's the link - http://www.aperitto.com/content/view/14/28/

They're 2 programs i used to make OEM Packages. They are: 1)WinCE Cab Manager 2)initflashfile Generator. Initflashfile Generator can be obtained from a few Rom Kitchens floating around here, just do a search for it! Trust me, if you can get your hands on WinCE Cab manager, itll make your life alot easier when creating cabs and packages! good luck

only a question, how do i get the wince manager started? everytime i want to start, the program says : class not registered or something like this.
what can i do

has anybody any idea? please ....

free in xp
Start Menu/ select 'Run Program", and type in "iexpress.exe"

i use wince cab manager .... quiet easy .... u can try with any cab and easily u can get the "how to" to start ur own cab

small utility: cab batch install (a batch installer) with source

Introdution:
This small app will help you out when you have a bunch of cab files to install after flashing the new rom.
How to use:
1. Select or input a directory that contains a bunch of cab files.
2. Generate the list file that is [INSERT SELECTED DIRECTORY]\batch-list.txt. You can manually edit this file to select which to install.
3. Batch install. It will promot you if you really want to install that file.
Problems:
1. The small utility can not silently install cab files.
Todo:
1. More UI friendly to select the files.
Note:
I am rather new at windows mobile programming. I have learned it from scratch. The whole program uses pure C and winapi, no managed code, no MFC/ATL.
Acknowledge:
Thanks legedug for packaging the cab file.
Copyleft:
The source code is available, anyone can modify it and redistribute it. But you should contain at least a piece of my name in it and should distribute with full source code.

reserved for future.
Or no future.

thank you very much for this tool

Will try it! This will be super good as my P3600i constantly needs a hard reset due to all available roms are for P3600. I'll let you know how this go! Thanks

This will differentiate itself from other similar programs (TierAutoinstall) if it can popup when dialogs are displayed after installs on some cabs.

Tested. I really like it!
No bug so far and here are my findings and suggestions:
1. Yes we need silent installation
2. Pick a directory: this need to pick up sub-directories. My cabs saved in "Storage Card/PDA SW/Common". It won't pick up cab file in "Common" directory.
3. Some cab files require restart - If I choose restart now, it won't resume batch install. (I can choose not to restart now to by-pass it)

Ok, you can manually input the directory. I do not know how to invoke folder selection dialog. If anyone know , please help me.

Nice!! Wish I would have seen it a couple of hours ago before I reflashed for WM 6.1

Thanks for your kudos. I will continue develop this little app making it better and easier to use.

First trying, put on \Storage Card\Program Files\CabbatchInstall and make it shortcut to \windows\Start Menu\Programs; it works
So I make it on cab file to put the programs such as above:

Ok, thanks ,I will cab it next time.

I would welcome if this would install silently...otherwise its great because its so simple - no hassle like with sashimi, which is great, but too much work for the first time!

thanks man, this is actually exactly what i needed

im actually gonna flash today so I will your app a run and see how it works
however I have seen other tools like this or there about here on xda which use a combination of code and mort script for the silent install part
quick feedback ..the exit function don't work

Yes, I forget to add it. There is a big OK button to do that.
I fail to make upgrade recently because I don't have visual studio 2008 as in the lab before.
This one is written in pure C. So It can run without any additions.

It can not install things very silently. Because you have to select where to install.
My ambition plan is to parse the XML manually and let it really silent.
Now I don't have a Windows OS and Visual Studio. I will delay upgrade this software.
I have released the source, it is welcome for anyone to help.

Ok so i have tried it a couple of times..and after using the tool from v3patel(see my sig) im sorry.....
v3patel's is mortscript; quick and already allows for a silent install. However, my suggestion fro you to get the silent install working is to have a look at the command he uses in his script and see you can replicate it for your tool....
If it works, i will be more than to hard-reset my device to test...(and it better work lol)

helloworld1
excuse me;
can this be used to install all ones cab file apps etc, after a system hard reset if all cabs are say kept in a pacific folder for that purpose.
thanks

OEM of Cabs. Program not installing after flash.

I have followed this tutorial exactly and put the folder it gives me here.
D:\Kitchen\OEM
The program I am trying this with is Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3_3
The D drive is my second hard drive, however I did all the work to make the folder on my C drive just like the tutorial said. Then copied the folder to D:\Kitchen\OEM
Thus making D:\Kitchen\OEM\Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3_3
Everytime I cook this ROM it does say Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3_3 in the CMD however Advanced Configuration does not install when I flash.
What is it that I am doing wrong? I have searched and found nothing about my problem. I have also tried using a pre-made Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3 from XDA2'S OEM PACK. So I do not think I am making it wrong, instead I am placing it in the wrong location or there is a file I need to edit to include the new folder. Those are just my guesses as this is my first time as a Chef and I have found no information on this particular problem.
Does a file that needs to be edited exist? From what I've gathered, I just turn the cab into a OEM and place that folder inside the folder that I did. Is that correct?
The Kitchen i am using is New Old style kitchen based on Bepe's tools
I have tried to make this as readable as possible, with as many links to what i refer to as possible. If there is anything I can do to explain my problem easier please let me know.
EDIT: I have found Advanced Config in my windows folder, however no shortcut was made in any menu. How do I fix this?
Also can someone tell me what the following means? Most folders in the folder OEM are labeled PACKAGE_Raphael_ then the name of the program. Then theres another folder labeled the same thing except at the end it has _0409
Also theres a folder named 0409
EDIT: I finaly got it to work. I'd like someone to explain why this made it work and explain what I put in my last edit. I got this to work by using package-creator-v2.7.

I dont know about EVK cos i use OsKitchen, anyway give a look here for converting Cab to OEM or EXT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525302 its a cool and easy to use.

Are you sure that Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3_3 was not installed?
The default link installation path for this app is the Settings\System folder and not Start menu\Programs.
Goto Start\Settings\System and check if there is an Advanced Config icon there.

I did check in the settings and it is not in any of the tabs, but I did find it in the windows folder. How do I fix this? Like I said I have tried both making my own a pre-made. I'm am going to try what af974 suggested but I do not have high hopes since pre-made OEM did not work. I feel as if I am putting it in the wrong folder.

Thank you. I'll give it a try, however it is not the OEM of the Cab that is the problem because I have tried pre-made.

For the EVK based kitchens you NEED an app.dat file in the root of the package you're trying to put in the ROM. That file, gets merged with the rest of the initflashfiles.dat file that can be (usually) found in OEM\0409\OEM_Lang_0409 . If you don't tell the system to copy the shortcut (usually found in the package as a *.lnk) to somewhere on the start menu, then you wont get a shortcut to the app

Learning to cook a rom

I've been reading up on cooking ROM's and with the help of leeston i managed to create a basic ROM earlier in the week. After searching for guides / tutorials on this stuff im really not that much the wiser, i cant seem to find anything that explains it well enough, there always missing details. The actual cooking process seems fairly straightforward but its those extra bits im missing ie
how do i add my own packages - am i right in just copying them to the SYS folder or is there more to it ?
how do i edit the registry - I know how to edit the registry once the ROM is loaded onto my phone but how do i do it from the ROM without the phone ?
how do i add things to the start menu - When i add packages to the SYS folder and load the ROM into my phone the shortcuts dont seem to be in my start menu
how do i add sense - i've loaded the packages but it never starts and theres no sense option in today settings
im new to this so as you'd imagine the questions i have are endless ...
Im sure most of this info is on XDA already somewhere but i just cant find it, maybe im searching for the wrong term or something.
Any help from the chef's would be great, perhaps you could provide links to tutorials / info you've used when learning to cook. Im sure this stuff would be useful to everyone and may even encourage more to have a go at cooking .

I am still new to cooking but I'll tell you what i believe to be correct.
1.Yes. To add a package to a rom you put the package into the SYS folder.
However be aware that the kitchen used for the TG01 cannot handle EXT (visual) packages, only OEM (old) packages can be used. Use Totalfires package converter to convert between the 2 types.
The above info is not strictly true but is what you need to know when cooking for the TG and i don't have the time or knowledge to write a complete tutorial.
2. Editing the registry is all to do with .RGU files, you can create a package with a new one in or edit the existing ones within the packages in the SYS folder. You can edit them with notepad but i suggest using Notepad2.
Once you open an .RGU file you should recognize the reg key text in the file and edit it accordingly. As far as i am aware the file MUST have REGEDIT4 in the first line and an empty line at the bottom in order to work. Another way is to edit the regkey on your device then export the regkey using resco or something similar, then rename the resulting file from .reg to .rgu then open it in note pad and copy and paste it into another packages .rgu file, or create a custom package for that .rgu file.
The registry can also be modified using cab files during autorun, but this can be a little messy as the cab can be uninstalled by the end user causing problems.
3. To do this you need to edit the initflashs.txt file within the . This can be done manually or with one of the many package tools available on this site. The one i use is below, it does the hardwork for you, you click a few options and it edits the required files as needed.
4. Sense is a funny one. You should just need to add all the required packages to the SYS folder and away it goes. Unfortunately this is rarely the case. It should just a case of making sure all the sense packages are there, including its many dependencies. Sense is one of my weaker areas so maybe some one else has better advice.
Hope this is useful.

do you have a loooong far way, but read the forumposts an try, try and shortPin and try. that was my way, or is my way. i have don´t helping, all found with google and in xda forum.
unfortunately, my English knowledge is terrible. otherwise I would write more.
best to dump a officiels ROM or miROM5 , then you have an example

Hi my friend, I have a problem to cook a ROM with cab which required a reboot or witch have a information message ( SWYPE or GPSMOdDriver for example)
Do you know a solution for this please?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info leeston and miro ;-). I havent had time to try it yet but will be over weekend and im almost sure now i know where to find the registry files ill be able to cook something decent up since that was my main problem. Thanks again for the help.

I may be wrong but when the cab files are first installed doesnt it automatically reboot ? If not you can always do a manual reboot ;-).

I've tried everything to get sense working but im just having no luck ... copied the packages to the sys folder, flashes fine, boots fine but no sense and now theres no setting shortcut in the start menu ?
Could i ask for the exact procedure for installing sense please ? Im getting my packages from here but replacing the 2017 home with 2016. Could i perhaps be missing something ?
Thanks again

I have try to delete the line "Reboot" after autocabinstall but nothing change the phone always reboot ... I think the only thing is to do OEM package...
I have test with many cabs but nothing works same as you with Sense ...
Have you found solutions ?

The solutoin is to use autorun instead of cabinstl, you can then write a custom script to handle the input required by the cab.
However this is above my head, and i couldn't get autorun to work. FFBOY knows how but i doubt you will get his help as he doesn't seem to check any threads other than his own rom threads, and if he does his responces are few and far between.

Those are the packages i used and they work so it's not the packages, but i cheated and dumped a sense rom then modified it. I don't have time to try and work out how to do it properly unfortunatley.

Well atleast i know the packages are fine, i was starting to wonder if that was the problem . Theres some satisfaction in doing it yourself but like miro said i think its just too much for me, ill give it another go later in the week and if that fails ill just dump a sense rom like you did ... if there was just a tutorial on installing sense packages etc id be fine, with sense being so popular you'd think there to be loads of tuts.

[TUT] Beginers guide to cooking for the TG01

Welcome to my tutorial in cooking for the TG01.
I shall no longer be updating this thread, so please feel free to post and make any contribution you see fit.
This is meant to be a very simple, plain English guide to cooking.
With this in mind i will not be showing you how to port a new sys/xip or any of the more advanced features like sense
lets just see if we can dump, modify, build then flash a working, booting ROM for now.
This tutorial is only what i have learnt whilst beginning to cook my own ROM, so if you find a mistake or have something to offer feel free to post
If you have a question that your going to post, please please search the forum first, i learnt a lot of what i know from threads that have nothing to do with the TG01 or even the type of kitchen we're using. So as the rules state - Search before posting, Thank you.
Modifying the ROM of a Windows Mobile is dangerous to your devices health. If you mess it up it can be fatal.
The information contained in this tutorial is only as far as i am aware. Don't blame me if you brick it.
Having said that, i have never had a problem the short pin method couldn't fix.
You will need the attached .zip file, it contains the kitchen and associated applications.
In this tutorial i am using L3V5Ys kitchen, cab converter by Jason8, Package converter by Total Fire and Package Creator by Ervius.
So thanks to them and everyone in the XDA community for making this kind of thing possible.

1. Dump a ROM
1.1. Download the ROM you wish to modify. I suggest Miros miROM4, its clean and fast without any clutter.
1.2. Extract the ROM and place the resulting .tsw file in the BASE folder in the kitchen. Then rename it "TG01WP_5005000176.tsw"
1.3. Run dump.bat and wait for it to finish, this could take a little time depending on you PC, it may be worth making a tea as it seems to take longer if you watch it.
1.4. You should now have some new folders in your kitchen, for now the only one were interested in is SYS.
2. Modify a ROM (Removal of packages)
2.1 Open your kitchen folder then open the SYS folder,
2.2 You should now be faced with a window with lots of folders in it. The folders are called packages.
2.3 Delete the package Entertainment and its associated packages (Entertainment, Entertainment_DPI_192, Entertainment_Lang_0409 and Entertainment_Lang_0409_DPI_192)
2.4 This has effectively deleted the games that ship with your chosen ROM,
2. Modify a ROM (Adding packages)
2.1 Open your kitchen folder then open the SYS folder.
2.2 Copy the package from its source to the SYS folder. Remember that for this kitchen it must be an OEM\old type package (see post #4)
2.3 Thats it, you added software to your custom ROM.
2. Modify a ROM (modify existing package)
2.1 Open your kitchen folder then open the SYS folder.
2.2 Open the folder titled "Redist_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800"
2.3 Replace welcomehead.192.png with the one in the downloaded zip.
2.4 That's it, when you boot your new ROM it should show the new welcome screen.
3. Building and flashing a ROM
3.1 Run "2. build no XIP port_no auto.bat" (this is the original build.bat, modified by myself to skip the port xip and BuildOS/auto parts)
3.2 When the cmd prompt opens press any key
3.3 When BuildOS opens check the packages you wish to install then click the green arrow in the top left.
3.4 When BuildOS has finished, close it and the cmd window will carry on opening and closing other programs as it goes. You do not need to touch any thing till it has finished and it asks you to hit enter.
3.5 Assuming you pressed enter when it asked, the cmd window will have now closed.
3.6 Go into your kitchen folder and you should have a new file called "TG01WP_00.tsw" This is your ROM.
3.7 Copy "TG01WP_00.tsw" to a folder called PRG on your storage card (if its not there then create it) and then run SDDL+ or use the short pin method to flash it.
3.8 That should be it, you should now have the rom you started with but minus solitaire.

The Kitchen:
In your "Kitchen" you will find some folders and some files. They all relate to either the ROM ityself,
or the tools used to edit/dump/create the ROM.
BASE - This is the folder in which you put the rom you are dumping
OEM - This is the folder where the Toshiba part of the ROM would be if it was an official Rom that was being dumped,
however when dumping a cooked ROM this folder will be empty as a cooked ROM cannot be dumped correctly by the tools available
and all packages are put in the SYS folder. This will not affect the output, and the OEM packages can be left in the sys folder.
If you dump a cooked ROM you will need to create the OEM folder as BuildOS panics without it, even if its empty it needs to be there.
SYS - This folder contains the dumped ROM separated into packages
ROM - This folder contains the xip, boot.rgu and boot.hv. For this tutorial we won't be working with anything here.
TOOLS - This is where the exe's are that make up the kitchen, you don't need to touch these, the .bat files do it all for you.
Temp - This is the kitchens working folder, you don't need to go here unless there are problems building the ROM but that is beyond the scope of this tutorial.

Packages: (there are 2 types, EXT and OEM, our kitchen can only handle OEM so thats what i'll be discusing)
Each package contains an element of the ROM. For example the BROWSING package contains the parts of the ROM required for internet browsing.
For a package to be usable it requires certain things
Required:
.dsm file - This is to complicated for the scope of this tut so for now just accept that this file is necessary and should never be deleted. All dsms must have a unique name.
That is all a package needs to be a package, though without any files in it won't actually do anything.
Optional:
.rgu file - This file contains the reg entries for the package in question and its name will be the same as the .dsm file in your package.
initflashfiles.txt / initflashfiles.dat - This file tells the PPC where to put the files that are within the package, ie. a short cut to a program in the start menu.
NOTE without an initflashfiles.txt all items within the package will go to the Windows folder.
option.xml - Holds information relevant to the package
The files you wish to install, without them its pretty pointless.
Packages often have other packages associated to them, for example the Entertainment package also has Entertainment_DPI192, Entertainment_Lang_0409 and Entertainment_Lang_0409_DPI_192.
Where Entertainment is the package, Entertainment_DPI_192 has the files specifically for our screen size, Entertainment_Lang_0409 has the files for our language (0409 is WWE)
and Entertainment_Lang_0409_DPI_192 has files that are for our lang and our screen size.

Modifying a .rgu file:
.rgu files contain registry information for the package they are in. If you wish to modify this data then you can do so with notepad, though i recommend downloading Notepad2. If you open a .rgu file and don't understand what's in it then you need to go learn about windows registry editing first. I am assuming that if you are looking at building a custom ROM you already know about reg editing.

CAB Converter:
This program is used to convert a .cab file into a package to be cooked into a ROM
1.Open CAB_Converter.exe
2.Click "add a cab" and browse to your cab or drag and drop your cab into the window
3.Click on the text representing your cab at the top of the window so its selected.
4.Click CAB->OEM, and wait till its finished. Should only be a few seconds.
5.Your package will be in the CAB Converter folder in the converted OEM folder

Package Converter:
Our kitchen only supports OEM\Old type packages, so what if we want to use an EXT\Visual type package? Well Total Fire kindly made and distributed a tool that converts from one to another.
The program is fairly self explanatory but i'll quickly cover converting from a visual to an old package.
1.Open the converter, then click "select" where the greyed text say package,
2.Browse to and open your visual package.
3.click "Convert VTO", now wait till you see "Conversion Complete".
4.Your now usable package will be in the same directory as the visual package with the text "PACKAGE TF" added to the title.

Package Builder:
If you wish to create your own packages, this is the tool to do it.
1.Create a folder named whatever you want your package to be named
2.Add to it the files you want
3.Add to it a .reg file if required
4.Open package Creator, in the bottom right you can choose ITA or ENG.
5.Click open package and browse to the folder you created.
6.Now the initflashes.txt options page appears, here you can select the .exes in your package and choose where to create short cuts. You will need to click apply on each one.
7.Now click complete package.
8.The creator will now create a .dsm file, a .rgu file with your .reg file settings in, an initflases.txt file and an option.xml file within the folder turning it into a package.
9.This package can now be used in your kitchen.

Its better to grab hold of one of the existing opera packages on the forum, I never successfully converted it to a working package. Just seemed to be the opera cab as i have no problems with any other. I think ninjaduck does a nice version with flash and the like already in.
I never saw that particular error myself though. Sorry I can't be more help.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
I will no longer be updating this or any of my ROM threads as its upgrade time and I've got a shiny new Desire HD, my trusty TG01 has been retired and i'm off to have a bodge with Android.
The TG01 forum is a nice little place with only a hand full of regular contributors/posters but its always friendly and development seems to move along at a steady pace, so thanks to all its members for that.
To those who PM me, feel free to continue as i will still be around here somewhere and will help in anyway i can.
See you later.

Hi Lee!
TG01 community will miss your contributions! In case your retired TG01 lures you back to development, I will keep my eyes peeled. I hope you like your new android, but in case, Winmo is missed (I wish!), do come back!

Hi.
Leeston2379 will not be doing any changes here any more so I allow myself to upload my version of his kitchen here without creating new thread.
What has been changed ?
"Virgin" kitchen was only for packages modification without any pagepool changes or xip porting. Leeston2379 was basing on l3v5y kitchen which have certain bug. Interestingly this bug was "not active" as far as old ( original ) xip.bin was taken in .tsw file creation.
There are 4 batch files for new system building:
a) 2. build_without_xip_port.bat - the same as original leeston2379 batch but with fixed bug although here it is not "active"
b) 2. build_without_xip_port_pagepool_set.bat - allows to set pagepool size
c) 2. build_with_xip_port.bat - like original but allows to port new xip
d) 2. build_with_xip_port_pagepool_set.bat - like original but allows to set pagepool size and port new xip
I did not utilize automatic execution via for example
AutoExecAndClick.exe /launch "xipport.exe" /clickbutton "dump xip.bin" /clickbutton "write maps" /clickbutton "make pkgs" /kill
In my oppinion it is buggy . There are any timing races or something other causing any strange errors from time to time. User has to like in original l3v5y kitchen press different buttons in xipport software.
Thanks Mangasora for his post concerning porting xip
