[HELP/Q]Package Creator - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hmm can someone explain to me how to convert a .cab using packagecreator successfully? where it would install on the phone on boot up and what not? I've did the steps from the tutoril of how to cook a rom (cab section) and the readme file that came with the package creator but for some reason when i make a "package" to load into the ROM or SYS folder, it doesn't seem to install and work. I'm trying to put NetCF3.5 in rom, Opera 9.5 2392, and the tweak programs into my rom so it will load up with eveything else, but i get some error of building user.hv and what not >.> so any help will be greatly appreciated :/
Edit: i have no program install the cab files once the phone has been flashed, but id like to upload my rom for people see if they like it, so yeah would like to get the package thing working w.

i have same problem...

PPC 2003 and mkrom

Any brave soul try using mkrom in conjucntion with the 2003 ROM? I think I might give it a shot here in a bit but wanted to know if anybody had tried it yet...
I've managed to build a 2003 ROM. It's extremely tricky though. I'm working on customizing a ROM similar to the XDA Developers SER - as soon as I get some free time
I'd like to acknowledge all the help given to me by Developer Itsme in this endeavor.
Let me know any suggestions you may have for the new ROM.
sheran_g,
i didn't know u could use mkrom with 2003 rom image. can u please post how u did it? i created a special version based on SE 1.1 rom but would like to put the same programs into the new rom. any help is appreciated.
thanks

What's tricky about it...?
The modified registry file you make does not get picked up at the device startup. You need to manually inject the memory address of the modified registry file into the ROM in order for it to get picked up.
my latest romtools can be found at romtools
now it calls dumprom to find and fix the filedata offsets.
I think they should now build 2003 roms.
sheran_g,
can u post the steps that u take to buid it? i'm trying right now and its not working. i'm having little problems. can u post ur default.reg and initobj.txt? any other help is apreciated.
thanks
alex
Ok. Here they are in a nutshell:
Get the latest romtools.
Make the following dirs: romfiles, cfg, tmp, out, files, files1, files2
Split the ROM into Bootloader, bootimage, OS image, xipchain into the 'cfg' dir.
Dump the files in the OS image into a 'romfiles' dir.
Get the default registry file, initobj & initdb files into your 'cfg' dir.
Make changes to your default.reg and initobj.txt
Place any files you want loaded in the ROM into the 'files' dir.
Run 'mkrom.sh'
You should then have your new ROM. I'm sorry if it's extremely brief; you'll have to make do with this and the README file in the romtools archive file for now. You'll find my default.reg and initobj.txt files on my site: www.zensay.com/qtek/mkrom
sheran_g,
Have you created a decent working custom WM2003 ROM?
If so what Apps have you added?
How much ROM space does it use?
I've not added any apps to my ROM. I have only added a carrier logo file and made some changes to the registry. So I cannot comment on ROM space yet. The ROM works fine.
sheran_g,
what command did u use to extract rom files? did u do it under windows or unix?
I'm having problems trying to dump the rom image. I don't know if its too much to ask, but can u zip ur directory and post it somewhere so i can download it? or if u can post commands that u ran to dump the 2003 rom?
thanks

Hi,
could you include "O2 home zune" to the 2003 image, like in the 2002 3.19 GER. Its for Germany interested only!
AR :?:
home zone depends on specific 3.19 rilgsm features. which are not in 4.*
okay, used dumprom -4 -d files -q nk.nbf and extracted all files. Got could not find pointer for ofs 00000000 ERROR but all the files seem to be there. Trying to figure this out. Saw the above abreviated directions but am fumbling around. Anyone have concise directions?
Val
Anyone? Just give me a good hint then please.
Hi all!
When i overwrite the rilgsm.dll file in the t-mobile 4.0.10 image with the rilgsm.dll from the O2 GER 3.19 image, i could use the "O2 home zone" option with the hz.exe in Starup directory? rilgsm.dll from german image hes 'at+creg=2' string in it. probably the RIL_GetCellTowerInfo call is now implemented. When it can work, how could i write the german rilgsm.dll to the image? I haven't linux, could somebody cook the image for me?
here is the germen rilgsm.dll and the hz.exe for the "home zone" funktion! http://www.nokiaprog.de/XDA/home_zone.zip
THX
PS: Sorry, my english! ;-)
AR
the homezone enabled rilgsm.dll depends on other dll's and exe's.
probably ril.dll, stk.exe, cell*.dll and maybe more, I have not tried
replacing all.
you don't need to build a new rom in order to experiment with this, you
can just copy the desired files to \windows, to override the rom versions.
And I don't think it works with the RIL_GetCellTowerInfo call,
but adds some notification events.
to change the CREG setting you need to call RIL_DevSpecific with parameter 25 ( to turn it on ) or 26 ( to turn it off )
even though that does not seem to be how hz.exe does it.
Hi,
I opened the image file in the Hex editor and renamed the file there rilgsm.dll. Then I flashed the image, which was phone probably deactivated, because rilgsm.dll was missing. Then I copied over ActiveSync the German rilgsm.dll into the Windows directory, XDA reset and he not accept the file. I assume because the file was not in the EPROM memory! Therefore I wanted to have rilgsm.dll first times in the image!

Install Caller_ID_W..
PHP is a language which runs on the webserver. so when you click on download.php you actually start a service on the server, which gives you the requested file.
now these CAB-files are pocketpc cab files ad are kind of setup programs for PocketPC , so you have to copy the CAB to your pocketpc and execute it there.
You can execute it by putting it in your extended rom, modify the config.txt and hard reset (I hope you know what hard reset means/implies)
or simply by tapping on it in PPC file explorer. In this case the CAB will disappear after installation. But if you have a previous version of Caller_id installed, you best uninstall it first : by editing the registry as explained in the forementioned thread, deleting as much files from the previous thread as it allows you to, soft reset, and delete the rest of the files.
I sure hope you understand all this, because if you don't know what php is, don't know what PPC CABs are, then I would advice you not to mess around too much with your PPC internals.
M4io
i know what is cab file.
but i wanted to know weather the file is in zip format cus win zip doesn't recognize it and even when i paste it on my ppc it doesn't install it simply says (there is no application associated with ''caller_id_wwe'' run the application first,then open the file from with in)
sounds like something corrupt during download
clear your internet cache and download again, don't unzip/unrar it, just copy the complete CAB file to your PPC
almost everything is installed with cab, so it would be weird that no association exists. Or during the copying to PPC maybe the conversion went wrong.
I'm really guessing now, just keep trying.

How to extract CAB files from a ROM?

Hey there,
I have a ROM that I flashed onto my phone, and there are some CABs that installed after I started the phone for the first time that I would like to get out of the ROM.
What is the best way to do this, if it is even possible. Sorry if this has been asked before or if it seems like a noob question.
Surely someone can help me? I've searched and can't find anything =(
Well, first you can begin checking in your 'windows' folder and copy those *.cab files from there. I think including the panelmanager.cab even.
The other cab files are probably 'made' by some of the people here.
Is there a way to extract all the CABs from the ROM, when the ROM is still on my PC?
theres a new program by dutty that unpacks any nbh file..so im guessing u can extract d rom and look for the cab u want..

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.
