What does CFC stands for? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi folks,
sorry for being a super noob but I need information which is for everyone clear but unfortunately not for me. I have to decide which version of CABs should I download if there are two versions available. A normal ine and a CFC version. But what the hell is CFC?
Please help.

Its a compression method for the image files that greatly reduces file size

Its a good job you stated what it was in relation to. See here lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFC

i think it could be compact flash card ?!?!

CFC = ChainFire's Compressor
It means images in the archive use a special form of compression your ROM must support to be able to use them...

CFC= cholo-floro-carbon, just remebring my good old days at high school, lol

Generally, the CFC version is faster and smaller than a non-compressed version, so you'd want to choose that instead

To me it looks inappropriate to put these links to BA section in the current state, many of us will download it for no good reason. Lets put something which is directly useful to most of BA users. There are very few who could use the dump effectively. This is my view, others may differ.

Are they for BA? Size looks too big for BA. Are these Chinese versions?
This is merely a dump of the build 21193 for qvga and it is in chinese.
You still need to convert it to WWE.
again, this is a dump, not a rom, it is not for BA alone but also for models with qvga screens, it still needs to be ported to a model of your choice.

[IDEA] Multidevice kitchen

I've been thinking lately... I've been thinking of creating a new multidevice kitchen. The kitchen would support every current device, be based on the newest version of Bepe's kitchen or maybe the visual kitchen. It would add certain things like:
Automatically insert the cecompr.dll needed for both LZX and XPR compressions
Automatically hex edit the imgfs.bin during the cooking process to allow to LZX compression
It would come with an empty payload file for every device
It would support multiple languages and come with language packs
It would use the standard layout of bepe's kitchen/the visual kitchen so it would be easy to also keep build packages that would apply to every kitchen.
If I could get enough cooks involved from other devices, we could even have base STRIPED OEMs from every device that people can easily download.
We can make it automatically be able to dump any ROM and easily extract its XIP or SYS and import them into the kitchen or make the files into a package compatible with the kitchen that people could upload for everyone else to use. (Easier to spread new builds leaked by other people.)
I need more ideas as to what we could make this kitchen do.
I also need to know if any cooks would be willing to help out as it would be a MASSIVE project.
I would start it as soon as I'm done with two ROMs that I'm currently working for and a few kitchen that I'm modding for some people for LZX/XPR multicompression.
No comments, yet.
I'm working with ervius to add the LZX compression to the kitchen itself.
If no one helps, then it's going to be a little hard to do since I will have to download the default ROM for each and every device and then strip down the OEM. Then create bigROM packages to release as well. And then I can't test it since I don't have every device, so it's going to be a little bit of a slow process.
What I will end up doing will be more like just taking ervius kitchen, add a few things here and there and make all the packages and builds and whatnot available. Or at the least create a thread where people can post packages left and right. A repository of sorts. (A lot like the PPCgeeks's BuildOS but compatible with every device and using ervius awesome kitchen.)
Sounds like what Anchilus had one time! I think it was named as hypercore. But great idea though. I am not an expert cook or programmer, but I do cook ROM for myself sometime. My biggest thing is porting the ROM, doesnt matter what tutorial I read, I just dont get it LOL
Take a look in the raphael forums. Already done.
Will Help You
Ivan,
You know that I am willing to do anything I can to help you. Problem is that we have the same devices and you are my mentor so I am not sure how much help I would be, but whatever you need, you name it and I will do my best to help you out however I can.

I think you mean this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505800
Would be a great idea one kitchen for all devices, although I think the extra devices should be added in the form of plug-in, because nobody likes to dl a 20 GB kitchen . I would help but I'm not that great at dumping but especially not with the still changing structure of ervius visual bepe's kitchen. Is there a wiki or tutorial somewhere that properly explains where to put which folders? 12
Yes, it wouldn't include all the devices at once. The aim of the project is to provide plugin packages for every device. A standard repository of oem packages (divided by QVGA, VGA, WVGA, etc), a standard repository of SYS and XIP builds, and a standard set of stripped down OEMs from different devices. Everything would be downloaded seperately. It's a huge project, that's why I would need lots of help.
EDIT: Just read that link. Kind of like that, but for multiple devices. Including language packs and all.

To get the attention of the cooks I think you should start sending email to the chefs and maybe a couple of mods too. I don't think it should be much of a problem on the raph forum, we are blessed with kind and sharing chefs, 12
i would love to help out with the kitchen.
although, i dont like bepe's way of cooking as much as the old way
multi-device sounds great, like in the days of hypercore

You can use my kitchen (based on visual kitchen) to add more devices but someone should develop a kind of frontend app to have ability to download only desired build, device OEMs, VGA/QVGA etc (manual selection will be a nightmare for normal users) . I can help in building such a kitchen but I can't write app, sorry

You mean like an kitchen appstore or a bat to move everything into the right folders? 12
That's a great idea. An app that automatically downloads the needed files just for your device type of thing... I'm not a programmer, though.
I want this to also have language packs that modify the language of the ROM.
Let this be the kitchen to rule all kitchens.

Already answered there.
But,
Yes.
The cecompr.dll is what tells the XIP how to read the LZX compressed imgfs.bin. The hex editing is what tells the kitchen tools to write the imgfs.bin in LZX compression.
I worked with evirus and now his kitchen has an option for LZX compression. It will do everything automatically. ^_^
That's a great idea. Not sure it could work on my device (ks20) as bepe's kitchen crashes on my nk.exe so I have to build xip part the old way (using xipport). Anyways, if you need french 96dpi resources, I can give you mine.
And for this project, instead of a special software to download packages, why not using a svn repository ?
Although a SVN repository would be awesome, I wonder if there would be a legal problem just like there was with the XDA FTP server used to host ROMs and stuff for building ROMs?
Yes, that's possible... perhaps we should ask a moderator, what was the exact reason it was removed (because after all, everything is still present on this forum, it's just not grouped in 1 place, but I think legal issues remain).
I also know that somewhere on the web, there is a svn server for winmo builds (I had once a wm build that had .svn folders).
Ivan, You can use my site to host your files, repositories, and current roms. I can alot you as much space as needed and even a .info domain name if you like. It will be hosted on the the same host as mycw.info (My gf's site for our chickens and stuff.) PM me or just respond on this post.

[UTIL][TUTORIAL] TG01 to T01A ROM Converter

Utility Link: http://www.4shared.com/zip/KBQLOO9d/TG01toT01A_Converter_Utility.html
How to use it:
There is 2 ways to use it.
1- Drop a TG01 ROM at the "TG01toT01AConverter" batch file, and a CMD window will appear showing the process.
2- Run a CMD and use the comand "TG01toT01AConverter rom.tsw"
In both cases, a file called "T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd" will be created if all it's OK. That's your ROM.
That's all, simple right?
I hope you enjoy it!
PD: The TG01 to T01A Converter includes my TG01 Tool set for simple ROM dumping and repack. If you need to redefine packages you should need to use l3v5y kitchen.
PD: This pack includes cedemish TGTool.
arag0n85 said:
Well, since finally someone has reported that my TG01->T01A method works properly, I decided to release for public a converter instead T01A/TG01 ROM's Version. In my ROM's threads, will be up to people to re-upload the T01A version and share the link, but I will only release TG01 version of the ROM and link to this thread.

you should not call MY TG01->T01A method yours just because you put it in a bat. maybe i should point you to tgtool 1.3.20 announcement post, your .bat is more or less a copy/paste of sample code there.
so how my tool+my sample = your tg01->t01a method ?

The TG01 to T01A Converter only needs tgtool and rom files, the rest of tools for this purpose is just bloatware.

Long time ago, some old dispute, I think it's time to move on!
What each of you is doing complements each other's work, but giving appropriate credit in your every posting is just too much overhead. IMHO there's a bit of a wording issue, I'm sure arag0n85 didn't intend to claim this batch to be entirely his own achievement or neglect cedesmith's role/involvement.
I've seen some very bright members leaving xda-devs because their work was not treated here with due respect. I'm sure everyone would hate to see either of you go or give up your projects. The truth is that if you are not ready to witness other people using, reusing and even abusing results of your work, then either don't release it or protect it from abuse.
Take it easy. Peace...

The idea is easy. There is an instruction to extract payload from a tsw and an instruction to merge payload to a tsd. So, I placed the tgtool with a tsd rom with an empty payload side by side and a .bat file that calls the proper instructions for the conversion from a tsw file. The file is called TG01toT01AConverter, and you have 2 ways to act with it.
a) Click on a tsw ROM, and move it over the .bat and drop it.
b) Open a MSDOS Command Window at the directory and type: "TG01toT01AConverter yourrom.tsw"
In both cases you should see a file called "T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd" as output.
thank so much your support. It have done, after converted i flashed it. Successful.
Enjoin it.
Can it be used to convert any new ROM in the future, such as 6.5.3 or 6.5.5?

[Question] Why using CFC on Manila

Hello my friend,
I'm sorry for this noob question....but why using CFC Compressions on Manila.
1) Is the quality bettar with CFC compression ?
2) Is Manilla faster ?
3) Other benefits ?
Thanks a lot my friend for your answer,
regards,
Nixeus
CFC made the files smaller and work faster (if i'm correct)
Thanks a lot for your answer , nevertheless, is the quality better with CFC compression ?

Early:
1) quality is the same (would i say) - the png files are only compressed (you have ca. 30 Mbyte less)
2) many users say : Yes
3) dont know
but in the new Manila Files - the Compression make not much sense... you dont feel the speed --> my opinion... not cfc
but if you have vga device --> you must have cfc...
Plz correct me, if im wrong

Any Senior Chef who is kind enough.....kitchen for Omnia Pro B7610....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have searched a lot everywhere but couldn't find any good kitchen for Omnia II or Omnia pro b7610. On every forum there are numerous threads asking for custom roms but nobody is willing to share, so it is our request to all senior chefs to kindly make one good kitchen for us so that we can cook our own roms instead of begging here or there.
Please provide us a good illustrated tutorial for the same, what tools are required, can we use any of the kitchen already available here or can somebody please modify any of it to make it compatible with Omnia Pro b7610. Also if we want to add manila 2.5 to the rom, what we have to do, as b7610 is wvga device, can rhodium manila can be used directly without porting or do we have to make some changes to make it work.
I can help in any way possible but we need somebody senior who can get us started.
Hoping for the best
Regards,
Inder
Ask somebody who knows how to use OSBuilder to adapt it to your phone: with a few batch files it should work perfectly.

Sorry but that requires way too much work because it's not just the kitchen but it's reconstructing the original ROM that is a mess because as you probably know that phone has a multilanguage ROM that requires additional work to get working (dumping the fat, extracting all the multilanguage archives, unpacking the archives and putting back all the missing SYS and localized OEM packages, etc.).
For the kitchen I can tell you from what I remember that the final flash ROM format for that phone is NB0, a template NB0 can be obtained by using o2tool -mst_to_nb0 on the original MST file. To convert the nb0 to NB (that OSBuilder can work with) o2tool -nb0split must be used (and all the files created must be kept as copy for building), then in the OSBuilder build cmd file you insert the new partitions with osnbtool -c in the old NB file and run o2tool -nb0build to obtain the final NB0 file.
thanks airxtreme for the start....lets hope somebody else is willing to do it, no multilanguage rom is required, English only will do just fine. Till then I can start experimenting with OSBuilder

The multilanguage partition includes everything, even english so you can't have any working ROM if you don't get those files out.
Have you looked at:

Yeah been there, infact regularly checking any updated info regarding this particular device. Thanks mach2003 for providing the link, lot of good info there.
