and when mobile start . its a Hard Reset ,
On hard reset and first start , the device automatically install some applications .
i m talking about wm2003
Is there any way to integrate .net framework and one of our own app EXE file to that files , so when ever device come out from hard reset it automatically install .net framework and our app
Thanks
There's two ways:
1st: you cook a modified EXTROM (how to is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianExtrom )
2nd: you cook your own OS ROM image (you'll need a kitchen suitable for the magician, which i personally don't know which one is)

Hi thanks for ur kind information i have seen That extend rom is best soution for me . Also i was able to sucessfully extract the header file and .fat image file . With the tool provided .
Now the main problem is how do i edit the .fat image. I had tried win image but its says error read , which software can do that ?
And also is it will procudre like this ?
Extract the .fat image
add cab files in it exteded rom folder which can be later used via loadvdisk.
Edit the fike autoconfig .
Re make the . Fat file
remake the nbf file .
Is it ?
But how to edit or extract .fat image ?
I'm sorry, please use this tool instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25416&d=1133971744
Confirmed to be working.
(original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=848159 )
thank you very much dear for helping me , i got every thing but now
these .fat images are fat 16 and not readable on windows XP
any solution other then using windows 98 / 95 ?
Fat 16 IS readable on WinXP 32 bits. That .fat is a compressed .cab file....anyway...do this:
1) Download and install UltraISO ( http://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso/download.htm )
2) Open the .fat file with it, replace with what you want on it
3) Save the modified package with .fat extension
4) Open HTC64 Extended ROM Tool.exe, choose encode and open the project .prj that was previously created when decoding
5) Replace/create a new *.nbf file
6) Replace the .fat16 file with your new .fat
7) Tick "Restore Extraneous Data"
8) Encode
9) Upgrade your phone with the new .nbf
10) Have fun!

Hi ,
Just downloaded the ER2003 EDIT utility to modify the Extended ROM in my XDA2.
Previously I also downloaded some ROM files available from this web site. Like the RUU15283wwe_cdl.exe
What I am missing now is how to create my own Extended ROM.
The question is the ER2003 Edit asks for an NBF file.
What I have is only EXE file that when I install, automatically decompress and they try to install directly on the pocketPC.
Am I missing something?
Is it possible to have the Extended ROM .NBF file of the Imate version?
Thanks and regards,
Claudio.
Claudio,
Just extract the ROM image (the exe file) with Winzip to a new folder.
Then you can open the ms_.nbf file with er2003edit.
Grtz,
Jos
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I unzipped the file and it comes out an EXE file. When I double click on the EXE file it does not decompress into files, but it starts an InstallShield Wizard, and it begin an installation process.
Can I modify this?
Claudio,
Just unzip this file again with Winzip in a new folder.
You should get 6 files:
- HimaClearJumpCode.exe
- HimaGetDeviceData.exe
- HimaUpgradeUt.exe
- ms_.nbf
- NK.nbf
- Radio_.nbf
The extended ROM is contained in the ms_.nbf file.
When you change the ROM, you should also modify the config.txt file in the ROM.
The ROM upgrade of the XDA can be started with HimaUpgradeUt.exe.
Grtz,
Jos
Hi,
alternatively: When the Installshield setup starts, browser to your temp folder and you will find the extracted files in a sub-folder. Just copy the files to another folder and close the Installshield wizard (which will delete the original extracted files)

Hey Guys,
I have been customising my extended rom so when I hard reset I get all the applications I want (Resco file explorer etc). I have been doing this with .cab files fine.
The problem is that I have files which are .exe setup files (e.g Flash player 6). These have to be installed on the PC, and the cab is copied to the XDA and run. I would like to just have e.g a flash CAB file to put on the extended ROM.
is there a way to convert the PC EXE into a XDA cab file, or some way to run the PC exe on the device automatically in extended rom?
I know some .exe setup files can be extracted using winrar which then give you the cab file, flash player isnt one of them though.

Jez.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) to look for the path where your Desktop Exes are extracted to PocketPC Cabs:
Look for this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"InstalledDir"="k:\system\hardware\pda\imate\ASync"
Now, open your Windows Explorer and go to the path. You will find your cabs in corresponding folders (e.g, folder MacromediaFlash shall contain Flash6.arm.cab and etc...)
If you need to do more complex restoration, use Restorator tool. It restores your directory and file structure, registry settings, installs cabs, writes boot screens and does everything nice...
Oh my god, you are both bloody geniouses!!
This is wicked, cheers guys!

Any other ways to xtracting & repacking to cab?
Renaming the file format (exe to any formats) & exe xtractor software doesn't work.
I can compress any data to .cab, but how to xtract perfectly exe files?
Convert EXE to Cab online without having to download any software
If you have an EXE file that you would normaly run on your PC to install a sofware... it looks like this online converter work to have it converted into a cab file for your cell phone!!!
try it!
1- first you need to compress your EXE file into a ZIP folder... that will create a ZIP file on your desktop.
2- then you go to http://media-convert.com/convert/
3- browse on the first field to determine witch file on your pc you want to convert .. select the ZIP file you just created...
4- on the second part of the page you will be ask what format you want to convert your ZIP file to .. on the scrolldown menu select . CAB... and hit the convert button .. the online service will do the rest ..
Basicaly will upload your file onto their server , process it and render it to you on a file download link ...
There you go you have now a CAB version of your EXE file to upload on your phone with ActiveSync...
My problem
how to say... the site is cool ,and i get my file converted. However, the nature of that file hasn't been changed into a cab. it is still an exe. I dunno if i have done something wrong when converting.
Hi,
i want to install the programs to a directory on the mmc card.
But if i do so, it installs in the root.
Now, thats not looking nice, and its hard to find anything there then.
I want create a directory for games and programms on the card.
How can i do that?
I can only choose between, Memory Card, Storage and Main Memory.
And that sucks!
Maybe u can user WinCE CAB Manager and edit the *.cab installation directory to any directory u prefer.
You can use the freeware CabInstall and install program directly from the SD.
Yes, but on the on hand this would be a lot of work, changing every single files directory in the cab and on the other hand it wouldn´t work out with Progs, that have an exe intallation, like the game AoE.
Thos Progs, first install on the PC and then on the PPC, and there are no editable CABs at all.
I thougt about changing the installation interface inactive sync , but i´m not a coder.
But maybe, there is somebody out there, who had the same idea like me and realised it already.
The Best solution ever: have a look at the attached files, open the TXT file first (the instructions)
You will not need any additional Software (except e Regestry editor like PHM Regedit), just follow the instructions and use the attached files.
Workes great I am having this now for 4 months!
if you install the programmes to the SD/MMC card, and they make their own folder, put the SD/MM card into a card reader on the pc and select the entire folder as hidden. this means that the programme still works, but does not show up when you explore the card. this does not work if u are using your phone as a card reader.
Sorry DerliebeWolf, The BEST solution is the follow (Tested on WM2003Se):
- Download a registry editor 4 Ur PPC
- Open AskDir_ON.reg with the program
- Reset your PPC
manually:
- Go to \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest
- Change DWORD value (dec) from 0 to 1
- Reset your PPC
If you install a cab file or an exe file from the pc (that copy the cab into your ppc and then execute it), Windows Mobile will ask you in wich folder you want to install the sw.
Note that you can have problems with some applications (because they're not installed in their own directory)
Check out Nonentity's File System Tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...order=asc&highlight=file+system+tweak&start=0
Cabinstaller is the best and easy software i could recommend for this. Run the cab installer software once and set it to run for all installations, the whenever u try to install a cab file, it will prompt you for the path of installation. It also has an option to disable deleting of cab file after installation. Do you want anything more than this? and to the max, it is free ware! Its easy to get, if you can't find,I have it in my site' software section. www.cartystudios.com
oh yes, i've forget that cabinstall associes .cab files to it (and then, when you execute an exe from the pc, in the ppc will be opened always with cabinstall in auto)
They're the 2 Best Solutions
Hello
I was trying to install tcmp4 on an XDA IIi, i downloaded tcmp4 onto the storage stick of XDA IIi, and clicked on the tcmp4, i get the message
'tcmp4' is not a valid Pocket PC application
i am sure i downloaded tcmp4 onto my XDA Exec in a similar way.
can you guys help me?
hello again
i figured out what to do, rather i remembered what i had done with my xda exec.
it is just the same procedure, get the cabinst file, and use it to install the cab file for the arm version
dear XDA_Guy
installing any application in Pocket PC can be either
1) exeutable file : which extention is .exe
these files (mostly and I say mostly) installable via the PC using ActiveSync program installed.
2) .cab file and these file shall be copied directly to the pocket PC and installed by clicking on them
Most program supplier (or programmers) produced the 2 vesrion of there programs i.e. in Cab and Exe format
the good thing with the cab version that you can keep in the SD card and everytime your hard-reset ( or format ) your XDA your can easly restore the programs from the SD (cab file ) without a computer.
IMPORTANT NOTE : about cab file ... most pocket pc or Windows CE deletes the cab file automatically after installing them.
to prevent this you need to install other cab installation utility / program.
personally I use the attached program. its exe file but just copy it and place it in your my documents or any other location . ( this is exe file but its a pocket pc exe file not PC )

thanks for the reply nasoor
you mean that the cab file version are meant to be installed on sd cards
and the exe version is meant to be installed on the device itself by clicking on the exe while the exe is on the pc?
how do i use the active sync program to install an .exe file? i copied the .exe file to my sd card and accessed it through activesync(explorer) however by only clicking on the file, it only gives me the properties
yes ,
the cab files should be copied either to you SD card or to the Pocket PC using the activesync explorer.
the EXE file should be run directly from the PC not the XDA. the steps are :
1- Put your XDA in the cardle ( holder) which is connected to the USB.
2- wait for the syncronization process to finish
3- go to the EXE file for TCPMP program in your Desktop Computer
4- Run the file and follow the instructions to be installed
5- after finishing you will see your XDA doing some progress and copying
6- You are done enjoy
regarding the cabinstall_en.exe file for cab installation , even this file is an exe file but as I told you before you can just copy it to your SD card and run in the Pocket PC not the Desktop because this is a Mobile EXE file.
I hope you are fine now ..
thanks for the reply nasoor
is there any way to know if a a file is a mobile exe file or is a pc exe file?
actually , without a programmed tool or external tool you can not
I mean , the only way - as I think - is by try executing the file , if the file fails to run with an error messaage says ' The file is not a valid 32 bit application ' then it means that this is for Pocket PC
otherwise , it will run , then it should be ment for the Desktop or Windows XP /ME application
thanks for the reply nasoor
pocket pc's are 32 bit applications?
hi,
i have installed (partially) the true VGA option on my universal according to tips given in the hack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41968 but i am having some problems.
the instruction states :
1 copy the files in windows folders files to windows dir of mobile
2 copy and run sdkcerts.cab to mobile
3 run ozvga and press ozvga button
4 copy files in vga system folders to windows dir for updated vga system files
5 copy and run vjbigphone091 , vjbigphonebuttons , vjbigphonebackdrop
6 soft reset and vga mode activated
now what i have noticed :
1 done
2 done
3 done
4 here is the problem..when i try to copy these files using ActivSync i am getting error messgae that i cannot copy file cos they are not read-only files, even if i change them to read-only files i am still unable to copy them, acces denied while copying.
5 done
6 done
after doing 5 of 6 steeps i am running my universal in VGA mode but why cannt i copy these file and are they really needed ?
in addition i can say that VGA seems not to suprt wisbar and some other program , is there any list of compatible software.
can i change the size of icon and task bar and other stuff while running VGa mode. where can i find some more info about VGA ??
i am using mda pro with not the lates ROM ( just bought my mda )
any help and ideas are appreaciated !
cheers, cudo
Use Resco File Explorer to copy the protected files, as though it still recognises they are 'system' files the program does overwrite them with the ones you need.
This has been covered elsewhere on the forums.
Cheers

hi, i have been llokin for this thread but couldnt find anywhere..can u give me a link ?
cheers, cudo
is there any other way to "activate" true vga on universal ?
Don't use the VGA files from Ozvga, there are files on the XDA developers ftp site (I think they are in an archive called VGA_AKU2.zip). This has the sdkcerts.cab file and a folder called windows. I have the contents of this archive and ozvga sotred on my SD card and whenever I hard reset or upgrade the ROM I run sdkcerts.cab and use total commander on the phone (I suppose resco would do the same job if you have it installed) to copy the windows folder to the root filesystem of the phone, it will complain that there is a folder called windows there already but just hit OK to copy over it, it won't replace any critical files. You can run ozvga from the SD card but I tend to copy it into main sotrage so that if I swap cards its always available.
OR better yet, search the darn forum before you do ANYTHING to your Universal. Not like I haven't posted the same thing over and over.
