Hello ahmad.yousry. cheers for your work with this theme. I have a possibly stupid question. u know in your step to import the regisrty settings could u possibly be a bit more specifc - i.e. i dont know how to do that. im a newbie here and the touch dual is my 1st ppc.
i have copied the biotouch registry key to my memory card and the cab file.
i have PHM registy editor on my phone.
cheers for ur help
p.s. i have a 3 sided htc cube on my touch dual - does that mattter?

just open the registry file from your explorer
no problem about having a 3 sided cube, this is supposed to turn into a 4 sided 1

But this uses not the original Cube.
Therefor u end in a much worse usage.
U can also alter the original Cube by adding new page.
On my XDA Star already was a second Launcherpage.
It's only a copied and renbamed APLauncher.exe (CustAPLauncher.exe),
new registry path under Biotouch (also named CustAPLauncher.exe)
and new Images.
A Member at the german community ppc-welt.de even realised a 3rd Launcherpage that way.

Completely new at this have registered the bio-touch and installed your cab file but when I activate the cube I see your images for 1 second then the old image appear when I scroll left or right this also happens. Can you please help me?

Cube of Life depends on iCube. have you installed iCube before this?

Now that i have all installed, can anyone kind enough to post step by step explanory on how to add or change applications(inclusive of 3rd party installed software) in the cube?

@dlsw
maybe you can read this thread as start

wow! cant really understand it! I guess I will just have to do editing the original path to the path of the programs which I want. By the way, what is the fastest way of find the path of the programs in my phone

How 2 uninstall Cube of Life?
Please, give me some instruction for how can I uninstall this app? I tried WM uninstallation application and SK-tools -- the Cube and its icons are still there. What should I do step by step? Please help!

3-run the registry file and import the settings
4-install the cube by running the CAB file
when try to run the reg file i get the following message:
"There is no application associated with 'Biotouch' run the application first then open this file from within the application

Cooking A new Rom

Hello & good morning Every body.
I need a lot of answers to Cook a WM6.1 rom. here are my questions :-
1- How can I convert Cab files into OEM ?
-------------------------------------------
2- How can I modify them to relocate the short cuts to different folders ?
-------------------------------------------
3- How can I delete the Help files from it?
-------------------------------------------
4- what are the tools I need in cooking a rom ?
-------------------------------------------
5- How can I add the OEM packages in the rom ?
-------------------------------------------
6- How can I delele the programs or files that I don't need from the rom ?
-------------------------------------------
7- Do I have to modify the registery and how can I do that ?
-------------------------------------------
8- I read that the net compact framework 3.5 is better than the 2.0, so how can I replace the 2.0 by the 3.5 ?
-------------------------------------------
9- I like the Spb mobile shell and the other Diamond skins for the windows applications like the dialer, the calculaters , contacts and the Windows media player. So how can I merge this application to start as the today screen and how can I replace the windows skins with the diamond skins ? what are their pathways?
-------------------------------------------
10- How can I replace the File explorer with the resco Explorer ?
-------------------------------------------
11- How can I create new folders in the start menu ?
-------------------------------------------
12- If I don't need the ram disk can I blend it with the rom ? I mean the programmes memory and If it possible will the device be faster ?
-------------------------------------------
I know that these are boring questions and It may waste your time but forgive me I'm just a newbie .....
Just finished the 5th medicine year ,, so If you need my help in medicine I'll be here for you......
My device is Himalaya ( Qteck 2020 )...
please answer my questions in detailed fashion ....

the help files are html documents.
you can find it in the dump folder.
to cook a rom, you will need a kitchen or a decompiler
the registry settings are in the dump folder.
you can edit them by using the windows editor

It's a bit difficult
Thanx for replying ,,, but which kitchen or decomplier should I use ?!
what is a dump folder ?!
if someone can make a tutorial doc with sceen shots that helps me to Learn it will be surely appreciated......
but Even If I cook A new rom I need to add some cabs to it so how can I do that ?!!!

For a start, I think the Himalaya forum may have some helpful info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=243
This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378987 has a link to the kitchens for the Himalaya.

thanx l3v5y
o.k. these are the kitchens but infact I'm not professional in using them in other words I need some on do demonistrate the steps to me ?
I need to create my own packages from the cab files I have ,,,, so plz can some one EXPLAIN it to me ?
by the way I think cooking roms or reprogramming is more difficult than studing Medicine ......

On the first point, I think trying things out is probably the fastest way to learn... Make small changes, see what happens, and then make bigger changes.
To create OEM packs, you need something like ervius' package tool. here
You need to load the cab file (press the button to do so), and then that will open "MSCEInf". In that program, you'll need to extract the files (It's a button on the top tool bar) to the default location, then close that program and follow the options through with the package creator.

Real progressing
o.k. let's say that I wanna use Avis 6.1 kitchen I'm downloading it but the problem is taht It comes with Chekhar's Rom ( 19199 ) but I wanna use PDAviet WM6.1 ( 19213 ) ?
So how can I replace the chekhar's rom ?
and how can I put the package in the rom ( just coping ) or by using a special too ?
and How can I delete some softs from the rom ?
Could you demonistrate an Example here with explanatory Pictures> I'm just a newbie
Thanx l3v5y So much

That doesn't apply well to the Himalaya, as there is a different ROM structure...

I'm sorry, but I have no idea about the details of Himalaya cooking... I can do Prophets, but not them...
I'd suggest asking in one of the Hima threads, or maybe a mod could move this?

Unblievable
I was hoping it would be beneficial and useful school
o.k.
no problem,,,, If any buddy can help me with avis kitchen how can I replace it's rom with the WM6.1 PDAviet ( 19213 ) and how can I put the package on it ??
L3v5y thanx for ur time

If I could be more help, I would!
I think that kitchen may only be able to use that ROM... Try one of the other kitchens... You'll need to dump the ROM and then rebuild it...

My Brain is getting Fried
Plz at least , I need someone to help me to package my cabs...
I do have the Package Creator, I even Packaged a cab but the problem is I need to delete some files ,, such as help one and I need to replace / relocate some inks also when I'd packaged it I didn't find the resultant file although it was saying packaging completed successsfully.....
I've been reading the tutorial on wiki and some threads provided in the forum but, I did not understand anything although the manual method looks somehow easier than the automated method using the creator program but it takes a long time with someone impatient like me.....
what I need is an Example demonisterated thoroughly and precisely .
since I'm using the Quickmenu I had been sorting my softs into many folders , Multimedia , Utilities , readers , E-Books, etc but some of these softs are installed on my SD card because of shortage of Storage Memory ( Device one ). It's just a 30MB. So if there is any Expert in packaging issue to help me or and that's unfortionate I'm gonna give up the whole Idea of Cooking and baking....
Thanx brothers.

[Kitchen]Polaris WM 6.5

[Kitchen]Polaris WM6.5
Build is 230176
download and extract to a folder with no space maybe Polaris_kitchen
Kitchen part 1 base
Kitchen part2 EXT folder put inside kitchen folder if named Polaris_kitchen just put this inside that folder
Just noticed something thats not right... go into ROM\Polaris\23016\OEMXipKernel and delete RecMod.exe I was making some changes in the xip and forgot to delete it again the rom will still work but it's not supose to be there
How to use
open Erviuskitchen.exe
press load ROM and choose on of the 3 options
press Create ROM now wait
when finished just close Erviuskitchen.exe
now goto RELEASE_POLARIS folder and use the custom_ruu.exe to flash your new rom
Link to a working 3g Dialer DJKoa_3G_Dialer_V2.CAB thanks to kostas244 for finding it
how to use the other options I'll explain later

making packages from OEM?
Put you OEM package in the EXT Package maker folder then drag and drop it on the EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe and you should have a EXT package ready to put in you kitchen.
note that some oem packages you download are separated into 2 folders exsample PACKAGE_MEGA_Album and PACKAGE_MEGA_Album_0409
just drag the PACKAGE_MEGA_Album_0409 (language pack) onto EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe and it will a folder called 0409 inside PACKAGE_MEGA_Album
now just drag and drop PACKAGE_MEGA_Album onto EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe and you have a finished EXT package with language files inside.
The package will be named appname then followed by the build number of the app
will add a cab to OEM and EXT later

Nice one Gullum!
Releasing your kitchen was an awesome idea, I'm messing around (when I have time) with the kitchens and learning as I go.. I have to say its a lot of fun.. cant wait to take a look at yours with all the modifications you've made to the rom.

problem with a package for 23151

Hello, I just finished my kitchen 23151, but I have some little problem.
Doige that this change to align
Thank you for your help in advance

Imagine everyone here in Chef Central would start a new thread with
'need your help'
How convinient that is for other people who are searching for something isn't?
I can't help you with your question, don't know atm.
Probably a vga image for a wvga package or wrong xml sizes.
I friendly suggest you change the thread title first.

Looks like you did not finish your kitchen. Finishing kitchen in your native language means that you should also fix you mui.
If you try to read the dedicated topic from that place (it was posted two weeks ago) you should know something new for youself.
If you don't get what I mean - this memory report page is Dialogue 14408 in shellres.dll.XXXX.mui. You know - sometimes old lang files don't fit....
P.S. "Package 23151" as you call it - has no problems.
