Hi,
is there a way or a program to backup/restore the registry as .reg file,
or more important: restoring only parts of the registry
via a program "like" spritebackup. is there a reg editor which can export/import the registry partially?
thx a lot
I use kilmist/klimst registry editor (never remember the spelling).
That exports and can import registry files.
If you've got a full reg export, edit it in notepad on your PC to have just the bits you want, save and import on your PDA.

looks like ur the right man for my questions thx a lot
another thing, do u know unlocker for pc? excellent tool for unlocking
files being processed by another app... can release the file,
or just kill the process - unlocker
is there something similar for ppc available?
Hi again and one more question...

Hi all, (appologies for the typo in the subject should be 'getting an annoying error' ! Doh!)
Wonder if anyone can help me on this little issue I'm having!?
I've set up a CFG.txt file that I want to run with all my apps / games / **** in, but I'm encountering an unusual error at the beginning of the process (luckily I didn't add the Lock at the beginning!! ;-) )
Here are the first lines of the CFG
**************************
SHOW:\Storage Card\CABS\custom.bmp
XML: \Storage Card\CABS\WWE_Vista_Device_Center.xml
XML: \Storage Card\CABS\MMS_Folder.xml
XML: \Storage Card\CABS\MMS_Account.xml
XML: \Storage Card\CABS\WindowsUpdate.xml
CAB: \Storage Card\CABS\A2DPToggle.signed.arm.CAB
**************************
This is then follwed by a list of all the rest of my stuff, which has all been worked on and had all the interaction messages removed (still some little positioning errors with files, but that's something I can eventually work out!)
The following error comes up 4 times when it runs AFTER the custom.bmp is shown:
**************************
This file : \Storage does not exist!
**************************
Any Ideas Folks??? Is it something to do with the XML files - 4 files, 4 errors? - if so, why? and how do I get it to install them? Is it possible to create a *.cab to install them? I've got a trial copy of CE Cab Manager!
I'm using 'Pandora PreConfig Launcher' that I found somewhere in these forums (will also post this query to that forum page, too)
Managed to get rid of all the rest of the interaction in the list - just this stopping me now!! Any and all help MOST appreciated.

May be you need to change folder everywhere from CABS to EXTROM in your cfg.txt
Though of that, ...but...

The reason it's in CABS is to do with the Launcher - it has a sample config file with it, and aims the launcher towards the CABS folder and means that I can run this cfg without having to hard reset each time - thought that I could iron out any errors with the config file before having to hard reset.
Think I've got a workround, will try this evening and let all know - it seems that it's possible to insert XML commands at both pre and post stages of a cab using CECABManager, so I'm going to try and embed the XML into some of the cabs that they relate to and see if I can't get it to bypass them - presuming, of course, that they are the things causing the issue!! As I said, I'll let you know.
Bird
Your feedback will definitely enlighten others.
Final solution
OK - first off, adding the XML as pre and post script in the cab files worked a treat! WINCE CAB MANAGER is certainly the way to go on that score, so anyone looking to add XML to the start of a CFG should go look for it - 30 day unrestricted trial
BUT ...
I worked out another solution that suites my needs better really:
two apps:
SPB Backup
SPB Clone
As I install my apps I'm creating a backup each day, then adding some new apps and testing for the day - any problems - use clone to go back a day!
Once I have all working, then I'll be able to use backup to gather the PIM info once a month, use the (clutter free) clone to put my BA back to it's just finished install state and use backup to add any recent PIM back in!
VIOLA! constantly clutter free solution! and no need to keep entering in your passwords n' stuff
Don't know why I didn't think of it before - it's exactly what I do on my PC!! DOH!

Hi to all
I had problem with QuickGPs on my Blackstone (it didnt start anymore), so i downloaded quickgps.cab from this post but now quickgps says error after running it so i think this version was not for blackstone intended. Could anyone post for me original files and settings to get up and running QuickGPs without troublesome hard reset ?
Thnx in advance
I've noticed that rom Cookers include quickgps-es in their roms - would someone include one here ?
Ive helped myself and read that i need those files:
\Windows :
CleanGPSData (exe?)
CleanGPSData
GPS-icon (icon)
gpsapi
GPSAux
GPSAux.dll.040C
gpsdriver
gpsid
gpsid_HTC
mxiupdate_PA... (4 files)
QGPS_BUT_L (icon)
QGPS_BUT_L2 (icon)
QGPS_BUT_P (icon)
QGPS_BUT_P2 (icon)
QuickGPS
QuickGPS.Exe
QuickGPS (Htlm file)
QuickGPS
QuickGPS_help
Anyone please zip it from your Blackstone and upload here ??? Pretty please

I have zipped all gps packages from the oem folder of my 1.19 rom. I will attach it here, just tell me if something is missing. Don't worry about the provxml files, just take the files you need and copy them into \Windows.
But I'm wondering whether a hard-reset would a better solution.
Johnpatcher thnx very much it is working now - the quickgps is starting but i get cannot connect try again later if i try to download gps data - so i am thinking could anyone post the registry settings from a working quickgps blackstone and point me what software is the best to registry editing to change it properly ? If it will work ill describe it to help anyone new with problem like me so we will help each other out
I have uploaded the oem package(s), because they already contain all needed registry data. You'll find the data within the rgu file, for QuickGPS it is:

I'm using Resco Registry Explorer, but thats totally up to you.
However, I'm asking you again: What did you do in order to destroy QuickGPS so massively? Why you don't just hard-reset your device?
1. Quickgps stopped working i thought it was software issue so i downloaded a version mentioned in post #1 - after installing it i finally found that one must delete the xtra.bin but it was already too late.
2. Hard reset will require installing all the software again and for now i got no time for it.
3. I want to invent some workaround method for all the community - for about one year i was only a reader and I got many helpul posts from the forum so if I can help someone - why not
Can i import all the settings to the registry by copy/paste somehow without manually rewriting it ?
p.s. Johnpatcher if you will stop someday in Poland you got a beer for helping out thnx

With the right editor you can simply import it.
There are really many (free) registry editors out there, just search for them. I think an import function is a basic operation, so it should be included in most of the editors.
All files copied using Resco Explorer - even those he shouted that are in the rom file and registry imported (by the way I recommend ceregedit - one can change registry from desktop Pc - very handy), and still i get quickgps cannot connect try again later - any suggestions - am I missing something ? I switched also the AGPS feature off - should I turn it on ??? What does it do ?
I thought that an original xtra.bin file from windows directory might help - could someone post most recent one ?
this is an old trick that was/is used for older devices to fit WinMo 6 on them
but a side effect is faster application load times
i figured i'd try it on the Blackstone and difference is noticeable
HTCAlbum loads in about 1 Second, before it took about 4
so i'm sharing this with anyone who is interested
The batch file is kept as simple as possible for everyone's ease of use
but this is pretty advanced tweaking, so all common warnings apply
and/or
if you are not comfortable with getting files from/to your PocketPC
and/or
can't figure out how to extract this zip and read the "read me.txt"
and/or
don't know what “any key” is DO NOT TRY THIS!
(read the forum and the wiki a bit more, and you'll gain the knowledge)
Version History:
v 1.0 - initial release
v 1.1 - no icon compression switch added to the batch, for more general compatibility
v alt - here geistteufel has released a new branch of the batch file,
this version uses a different method for packing files and may achieve better compression.
At the same time problems have been reported in the past with this method so all usual warnings apply.
a short list of EXEs that i have UPXed and work well for me
AdobeReaderLE.exe
ASyncKiller.exe
BCR.exe
Camera.exe
FMRadio.exe
GoogleMaps.exe
HTCAlbum.exe
iContact.exe
KeePassPPC.exe
kinoma.exe
Labyrinth.exe
LongPressEndKeyApp.exe
MP3Trimmer.exe
MusicID.exe
Opera9.exe
OperaL.exe
QuickGPS.exe
RSSHub.exe
s2p.exe
s2u2 Settings.exe
s2v.exe
StreamingPlayer.exe
TomTom Navigator.exe
USBtoPC.exe
WMRegOptimizer.exe
YotaCenter.exe
YotaCenterUpdater.exe
YouTube.exe
and here is a list of things NOT to compress
manila.exe
cprog.exe
thumbCal.exe
calculator.exe
wt5jetpr.exe
any DLL
Please share your findings so that others can benefit from it
(SEARCH this thread for your application name or EXE filename)
note: you'll have to repeat this proses after upgrading your applications
big thanks to;
edhaas - for the original simple to use batch file More info in this THREAD
UPX Team - a lot of technical info on the Website
kwbr - for a great ROM
and especially XDA-DEVELOPERS as a whole
Wow!
Thank you for sharing this. This also works great for S2U2. I noticed a difference in loading times. Also applied to this to iGO.exe and a few other .exe's
Thanks again for posting this.
Looks like hdtweak.exe and fdotfreds taskmanger have this done already.
Thanks for your explanations, everything worked fine till I had to copy files to Windows directory: access denied. What must I do to be able to copy files to WD?
Thanks and kind regards,
very very good! I try with commManager, yota contact, opera 9, resco explorer 2008 .....there is a time reduction in all! best performance in yota contacts from 5 seconds to 1 second
If this works so well I wonder why Microsoft doesn't implement it?
upx also works for large dll files!

for that you'll need something along the lines of total commander
i wish we could do this with manilia.exe but i tried and failed, it doesnt load, so had to restor it
I'm also having problem removing protection from some of the files :/
I tried to change properties via Resco Explorer, but without succes. As soon as I remove "Read only" attribute and click "Done", the attribute restores itself and I can't overwrite the new files.
I managed to update Yota; GoogleMaps, Nimbuzz and Opera - all load with visible speed improvement.
Tried Total Commander but can't get it to see my phone
It isnt working on the diamond saber. Icontacts and Yota center went well
WAUWW!!! my TomTom is now really fast!!
Thanks for sharing this app.

some files maybe in memory (used by your phone)
a trick to try is
connect with ActiveSync to the phone
browse into windows folder
rename the file you will be replacing (ex. HTCAlbum.exe to HTCAlbum.old.exe)
copy the UPXed version
restart device and test
if everything works delete the ".old." file

i had the same experience, but
best performance boost for Manila/TouchFLO is CFC compression of images (more info here)
Sir.B, can you please share info on how to remove attributes from System files? Tried through Resco File Explorer, but no effect - still can't overwrite old files, always having errors :/
Wow. This is great!
TomTom V7.450 From 6 down to 3 sec to splash screen!
I wonder if it would be possible to do this to all the exe and dll before cooking.
PocketPlayer also works. But most startup time is the drive scanning.
Google Maps also works, but it started up fast anyway. (also the 2 largest dll worked)
gpsVP works, but was already subsecond.
CommManager.exe worked, was a little faster
AdobeReaderLE worked but despite being a huge program, loaded fast to begin with.
PowerPoint worked but also despite being a huge program, loaded fast to begin with.
CorePlayer reports 'Already compressed'
G-Alarm reports '.net not (yet) supported), except for 2 dll's, they worked.

to replace all EXE & DLL files would be quite an undertaking
because it's such a trial and error process (manila.exe and mode9.dll don't like to be UPX-ed, maybe many more)
and benifits are only noticeble for the largest of files
never hurts to talk with your chefs

No matter what software I tried, I just can't get to replace the protected system files.
I tried Resco, I removed the attributes but they're back as soon as I click "Done".
I also tried your described method, but clicking on "rename" in Windows Explorer via ActiveSync - nothing happens. The files seem to be permanently locked

Actually, I have been searching all over forums, but none of the methods described worked for me. Most recommend using Resco or Total Commander, both of which don't work for me. All of the files that have "ROM" attribute simply refuse to be modified in any way.
Thats right. You cannot modify ROM files. You cannot even copy ROM files. You'd have to dump the ROM to PC, which is not trivial. Best to only use this on post-installed programs that are not in ROM.
Interesting: Coreplayer gives me an "already packed by UPX"
Seems they learned this trick before.....
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 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
