xredjokerx's cabs (originally a compilation thread) Updated: 2/16 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

I've edited my thread to include various cabs that I've compiled or created to make things a little bit easier for people...
1. Here's the original thread, which was the compilation cab...
2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording (mskip?)
At0mang Enhanced D3D driver (At0mang)
ATT_aGPS_Settings_511_T-Back (??)
jh20001_Tilt2_Data_Speed_Fix_1.0 (jh20001)
marcini.thinkblu-tilt2 vol increase (thinkblu & marcini)
SH4Ys Raphael Net Speed Boost (SH4YD33)
thinkblu.Enable MMS Limits (thinkblu)
Tilt2HWKeyboard (??)
Vendetta_Youtube_Fix (xredjokerx)

NOTE: I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR ANY OF THESE EDITS, I AM JUST POSTING A FILE THAT MAY HELP OTHERS
The compilation cab is mostly for att users running Energy Rom, but I can remake it for anybody who wants me to, just ask!
2. Youtube Fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5074509&postcount=74)
3. Advanced Network Program for those running Jh20001 data fix and are missing the program to enable HSPDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5552631&postcount=9885)
4. Sense 2.5 Internet Tab Landscape support (original version with 2 quick links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5573204&postcount=8402
5. CookieMonster Homepage Quick Edits, no registry touching required! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5643796&postcount=1275
There are more cabs further down... Please send me a PM if anybody wants a compilation cab made for them, and i'll upload it onto this thread.
and feel free to donate!

Anyway I could get just the tilt2 data speed fix and raphael net speed boost cabs from you?

just a little tip: a lot of chefs use some kind of customization tool (for e.g. NRG uses UC, Sergio and Ark use Autoinstall, etc)
they are really convenient for flash addict like me
have a look at the top post of each rom...they usually have instructions on how to use these tools

Thanks for the cab, amazing job saved me a bunch of time trying to search for all this individually.

here you go
anyone else have any requests? i can make different cabs with and without edits.. just let me know!

X,
Does this cover the enabling of proxy settings and what ATTWi-FiforWindo.cab, and removehiddenproxy?

it doesnt, because i never looked into those cabs since i was using a custom rom, but im currently checking it out..
do you want me to add them in for you? i can reupload another cab with removehiddenproxy and the attwifi cab too.

What's this ATTWififorWinmo cab you all speak of?

It's a cab that allows you to see and access all the WiFi hotspots that at&t offers anywhere you are for free (only includes DSL subscribers or customers with a $30+ data plan).

Thanks thinkblu. This will definitely come in handy

That would be excellent. I'm on Deep Shining and I notice he has a new version coming out shortly (X3) that may already include some elements so if you don't mind let me revert back to you after he releases that this wekeend.
Of course - a worker is worthy of his wages and I'll be your payPAL shortly. thanks very much.

i've spent about 3 hours so far trying to figure out how to incorporate the hiddenproxy settings into the cab..
usually i use wince to compile my cabs, but since the hidden proxy settings are not a wince function, i've resorted to recompiling my cab through MSDOS. please give this cab a try and let me know if it works out alright... i cant guarantee that this will work..
otherwise I have also attached a cab that creates a folder on your start menu that has the hide and remove proxy shortcut in it, but you'll have to go through another cab install to remove the proxy... but this one will definitely work.
let me know , the first cab cab should directly disable the hidden proxy, as well as install all previous cabs and the attwifiwindo cab.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does the AT&T proxy disable, and if I have a Tilt 2 and flash a custom ROM does the proxy still block anything?

honestly im not sure haha
i think all it does is let you connect to att services.
but i dont know if you have it or not when you flash a custom rom, i'd think not, if you flashed a touch pro 2 rom, but im not completely sure.

i extensively tested the data cabs today (with the exception of the youtube one)
my overall results were that the stock energy rom was faster without the data fixes, i've attached a version with no data fix in case anybody wanted it.
(this one doesnt have the youtube fix either)

mms
does this fix the mms problem i cant receive any mms on my phone or will i have to wait for the x3

there are so many problems to mms... you might want to go with an individual cab, or if you want me to, i'll add a mms fix cab in esp for you. let me know!

Is there any danger of overwriting a cab (like enable camera modes or whatever) that is already cooked in the rom we are using?

Hey X: Here is my order that will be useful for those of us on X4 Deep Shining ROM (which already has Kybd Control and Cookie Tabs):
At0mang Enhanced D3D driver (At0mang)
ATT_aGPS_Settings_511_T-Back (??)
jh20001_Tilt2_Data_Speed_Fix_1.0 (jh20001)
marcini.thinkblu-tilt2 vol increase (thinkblu & marcini)
SH4Ys Raphael Net Speed Boost (SH4YD33)
thinkblu.Enable MMS Limits (thinkblu)
Vendetta_Youtube_Fix (xredjokerx)
ATTWififorWinmo
remove hidden proxy folder
MMS Fix (M2.5) (ATT) (Valkyrie) (1.43) cab,
Is there a way to incorporate the ISP settings here? (or here:
Is there anything I'm missing that you've needed to cook for ATT fixes for Opera Streaming or marketplace support?

I would be interested in a good CAB for fixing up MMS for EnergyROM on Tilt2 (At&T). Now i go in with a registry editor and change all send sizes to 614400.

WM6 for Typhoon Customized Release?

Hey guys I have some spare time this summer and since I have been messing around with Wizard and Tornado/Typhoon ROM's so much this week I figured I might as well edit the WM6 ROM and add things like the newest Commmanager, Taskmanager, Camera, MMS, File Manager software and try and release a relatively clean ROM.
1) Is there any point me doing this? Will there be enough popularity.
2) Which Apps would you like to see added/removed and what tweaks and fixes do you need added?
Let me be first to appreciate your thoughts
I beleive Task Manager and Sim card Manager are essential
Regards,
Thanks
Taskmanager 1.22 (build 23604) is ready and working, I shall extract the SIM Manager now, I had forgotten about that!
Thanks for your effort - good to see that somebody has spare time . As I wrote here somewere, I still have not found the modem in this rom so I would appreciate adding it into your new version. Helpfull would be also to add application unlock and may be to create some simple "exe" tool for enabling and disabling charging during USB connection to PC (each time I have to go into registry to change certain values, but I think I can recognize positive effect to the battery). And please dont forget to replace the horrible sound "default.wav" for a pleasant one . Important is also to find a solution for additional T9 languages. For additional information about bugs and issues please check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319120
Thank you once again
I appreciate you comments and I will see what I can do about the modem. The sounds will definitely be replaced with nicer ones
I am not a programmer but a few friends of mine are so I will see what they can whip up for me if they have the time in terms of the USB Charge program.
custom
java support and a task manager would be nice

we need more memory and more ram if you could take out windows live,
office,marketplace and debug apps that would save us a lot of memory and ram and if you could make theses apps into cab files as addons that would be great thanks
memory is 15.95mb
memory used 3.03
-----------------
program memory 22.32mb
use program memory 16.18mb %72
there needs to be a STK (simtoolkit)

WHERE CAN I FIND THE TASKMANAGER?
In my WM6 Typhoon Release sometime next week
I had to extract it from a different ROM so its not on the internet unfortunately.
Thx you man for customize ROM
For me if it's possible to add voice tag
Good Camera drivers
Java
Thx you again for your work

What can I do to help?
I'm a programmer from down-under... the real down-under....
I've never worked in CE before - but it cant be that much different.....
And I'd love a version for Xphone model phones!
Anything I could do?
Skill set: Anything .NET
Also - as a favour, anyone have acccess to the "vodafone live" patch for New Zealand?
Hi,
I'd be interested as well!
The main point for me is to remove as much as possible things that are not necessary, or that can be added later in the Storage Card.
Thanks to mind this!
...gentlemen, could you tell me what tool do you use for ROM cooking?
...gentlemen, could you tell me what tool do you use for ROM cooking...?
STK menu and Headset profile in the new version, pleeeeease

What did the missing DLLs do? I didn't have any issues with the first cab that was made.
your phone may have already had the DLL's ... depending on the Rom you are using.
Since the Cooks remove files from their roms as they please... some cooks may leave them and some may remove them ... so it just depends.
does that myfaves cab work on smartphones too or only touch?
The files I used were from PPC not smartphone. You may try asking over in one of the smartphone forums... maybe someone there has made a myfaves cab for the smartphone edition.
i just got myfaves today but it wont go into affect till midnight so my question is... does this cab automatically start the myfaves program?
nvm got it working
thnx for the cab!
Thanks!
Just wanted to thank you for this CAB file! Works great on my Wing. Thanks Duprade!
My Smartphone runs Windows Mobile 2003.
I was unable to install this cab - does anyone know the minimum OS necessary?
And if its WM5.0, can someone point me to how I can upgrade my phone to that OS?
Thank you.
I am running on Aserg's latest, and it's flawless. A couple of my friends also have no issues using it. Great work as usual. Thanks a million.
Duprade my faves
I am unable to change my faves on my phone with that program that i installed am i doing something wrong? i am clicking start menu going to my faves icon and then i center button click on a face and edit, doens't allow me to edit, the icons do not show names or number nor do the icons chagne when i try and change them

[AX3L Tweak&Utilities] The simplest way to boost your device without making a ROM...

[AX3L Tweak&Utilities] The simplest way to boost your device without making a ROM...
Hello to everybody!
Few moths ago I've edited a Trinity's ROM (AX3L v3.1.2.c) to speedup and boost my device...anyway I've left the "cooking" when my device jump to floor and become broken...
So, I have noticed that many people try to make their own ROM to boost their device (and adding some personalizations)....but making a ROM is difficult (not to much..) and need too time....
Some days ago, a friend ask to me to do a ROM for him (just to "optimize" his device), but I don't have so much time now for create and test it....
He tried some Customization-Tools, but some time don't understud what was done/which option choose/etc...
For this reason I've created a simply CAB installer to improove/optimize any WM5/6 Device...for newmbies or who don't want cookin' a custom ROM....simply install&play!
Here is the list of included tweaks:
. Disconnect GPRS/UMTS button and a timer display showing how long GPRS is in use for the session
. Max TCP Windows Size
. Max PIE Download = 8
. Low WMP background quality
. Live Search now use Google.com
. SMS Sent Notification is disabled
. Show Battery on top bar at Today screen
. Customer Feedback Service OFF
. SQM Service OFF
. Today Date Plugin on one line
. Menu animation OFF
. Removed (only when useless!) the scroolbars when read/writea SMS/Email/MMS/etc...
. Enable WiFi PEAP Authentication with privately signed server certificates
. All Security Restriction are OFF
. Ask where to install a program
. Keep CAB files around after installing
. Prompt before overwriting an existing installation
. Big font cache
. Enable file system cache
. Improoved battery life
. EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA icons enabled
. Enabled Purge Sim contacts when no Sim is present
. Vibra-feedback when press any dialpad's key
. Low Battery warning in now configurable
. OBEX protocol enabled
. Few settings
I have also included some programs found on this board:
. SoftKey setting applet
. MoDaCo's noData
. Sleuth255's SIP change

CAB #2: .NET FrameWork v3.5 Booster
This other CAB is for who have already installed or want install the ".NET FrameWork v3.5"
It simply speedup your device....
NOTE: IF you ALREADY have .NET FrameWork v3.5 on your device, simply install the CAB #2....BUT, IF you HAVEN'T already installed .NET v3.5, you must install it before install CAB #2 !!!

You can download the original .NET FrameWork v3.5 setup from HERE!

WARNING:
For some reasons, CABs #1 and #2 aren't UNInstallable. So, you "must" create a backup before install it in order to restore the default system!

Niceness.
So what changes does cab #2 change, if any?
good stuff bud....not to be one to stifle innovation and new things...I have to ask the simple question that immediately popped into my mind...How does this differ from Schaps Advanced Config?
Great idea
How do we know if we have the tweaks already in our custom rom. I am sure all roms use the net framework, but how would we know if the booster is setup?
Would we cause any problems if we install your cabs?

You can make those changes manually, so you can even restore the default setting.

Tried it on my Polaris running udK's Syrius rom with Manilla 2D.
- All today items are gone (also Manilla 2D) except time/date which is the only item left in the list of selectable today plugins
- 3G keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every few seconds. The white "connection" dialog keeps poping up and is totally annoying.
The one fix I was after was about allowing custom certificates on PEAP auth for WiFi (we use that at work). Could you isolate that fix and give my a hint (registry etc)?
Thanks, going to restore now...
well, i installed it and it completely ****ed my system up. now on the today plugins menu in settings there is only one option and it's without text.. which is the date plugin.. other than that i have no today plugins.
(same as for pananza)
glad i didnt use it
Extracted the cab to see what's inside. Do you mind explaining what the following files are?
InTheHand.dll?
Custat.dll, Ceipui.exe - disable customer feedback I guess?
compse_sms.htm, compose_style.css, read_sms.htm, read_style.css - remove txt msg scrollbars (if not necessary)?

Try this cab guys...he had the \hklm\software\microsoft\today\items\ key with the today plugins from his own device included in the cab for some strange reason. This will definately fix the 'today items' problems...but other problems...you'll have to ask him
EDIT: If you installed his original cab...it probably screwed your today items settings which 'i dont think/know' how it can be restored...hard reset I guess?
And THANKS ALOT AX3L for an AMAZING set of tweaks...I can edit cabs so I can sift through and extract the tweaks I want...but for the average user who can't and wants to just install the cab...you need to do some work to fix up your CAB and make sure every tweak is compatible with 'most' devices
Or maybe you could just list out all your tweaks like this...cause it's not like any of these tweaks are secrets or your own...are they?
Thanks again!

Can all new rom Chefs please add this very useful tweak

When you add a new email account you only get a few email providers to choose from. Amazingly, yahoo and hotmail are not listed.
I modified the registry to add these two service providers. Please add the registry attached to all new roms as the tweak is only useful when setting up the phone for the first time after a flash.
Please see before and after shots to see the difference.
Thanks!

Thank you for the soluiton.

Great! Thanks! Any other chefs?
Thank you tboy2000, I'll use it in my rom.
I will use this in my next release, thanks tboy2000
A related tweak would be to remove the default email signature, I imagine most folks don't want it. Could be wrong though?
Yes, remove the "Sent from my fantastic HTC" thing, quite annoying.
I have been using this for a while. And on Blackstone before, now they ar a part of my kitchen.
Thanks

2 very specific questions (Disable the cannot connect bubble solved)

I would like to both find the following 2 fixes and cook them into my rom, but i cannot yet find the fixes - perhaps someone could be so kind as to help.
1. I do not want to see the 'could not connect' message - yes I have disabled both the connected and disconnected option but cannot find a way to remove that message. Really annoying when using TomTom.
2. When I tap the little keyboard at the bottom, to bring up the on screen keyboard, half the tme I accidentally get the input option menu I never use this and only want the standard keyboard - can I disable the option menu?
I have more questions, but am working through them as I think they are solvable by me with more time research.
Many thanks.
EDIT - See post 22 for likley solution to problem 1

2. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip]

Softreset...that's it.
Thanks, but I have tried that and it did not work. (I have gone back and checked that the reg edit was still there after the soft reset, and it was.)
TomTom breaking Manila
I still cannot answer my two initial questions, but have come across a strange issue.
I have tried to cook TomTom into my ROM to save time on the install. I have done this is the past with old style kitchens on previous phones no problem.
I have used the cab to ext converter in OsKitchen and made a package. If I inlcude the package in my ROM however, Manila will not start. Itr just syas tap here to start HTC Sense, and then flickers a bit but for love nor money I cannot make it start.
By a process of elimination I am sure it is the TomTom package causing this.
Running the cab via cab does not cause this issue.
Would anyone know what the problem might be?
Cheers
Don't use the cab converter to make the EXT. My guess is that the cab has a setup.dll, and the converter is missing something important. Here is how you want to make the package:
Install the cab; get all of the files created and put them in your package. Obviously, there will be files in \program files, but there may be some dumped into \windows, \my documents, the device root or \application data or \startup. There may be a new directory in \windows. Find those files and put them in the package as well; organize them however you want. Personally, I'd relocated the .exe and dll's and anything else I could into \windows, but I've never used tom-tom and don't know how it's organized or how it works.
Next, get all of the registry keys (after you register the program). I'm guessing that it's HKCU\software\tomtom or hklm\software\tomtom or something similar. There may also be other keys installed elsewhere (like clsid keys). Find those. If there's a setup.dll, you can open it with a text editor and probably see where they are. Some may appear in the _setup.xml. The best way to do this is to track changes with sk tracker, or do it the hard way and compare the registry before and after install with windiff (comparing full registry exports).
Once you have all the files and the reg keys, build the package. Clearly, the package builder is failing you, so I'd punt on it. Don't cook in the setup.dll, though (or anyting with a similar name, like tom-tomsetup.dll; sometimes there's more than one). Also, sometimes more complicated cabs will have zip files that install further during installation-open these up, look at them to make sure you have all the contents, then remove from the package.
Just a little add to Farmer Ted's excelent instruction.
I use wince cab manager to extract a cab, this will give you the registry plus the file locations.
This will give you something to compaire and helps you easier search what you are looking for.
The file locations you can create yourself in initflashfiles.dat or app.dat
To export a registry on device I use registry workshop.
With registry workshop you can export registry from your device straight to your pc.
If you are planning to realocate all the files to windows you need to edit the shortcuts to so they direct to windows and not program files for example.
The shortcuts you can open with a tekst editor.
Thanks guys - much appreciated.
The problem is that TomTom runs fine, its just that it screws up Manila. I will try and pull the cab to pieces as advised to make sure it is converting properly and also to see if I can spot anything that might impact Manila in the registry etc.
I dont suppose you have any thoughts on teh original two questions?
Not realy, but if the cab runs fine but your package isnt then there must be something wrong in the package isn't?

There is actually not much in the cab.
Using Wince cab Manager I can see no setup.dll
There are also no reg entries - nor can I find anything in the reg on the device that does anything other than list the install directory.
Looking at th files it installs, there are a couple of bluetooth files that can cause an error - odly it seems to not affect me when it is a cab but it must overwrite the windows ones when it is cooked in. The only thing I can think of is that it also has a phone.dll that presumably overwrites the one in the sys.
I will try cooking without this in my next build and see.
Unfortunately I am out of time as have recooked/flashed almost ten times trying to tie down this issue and then getting back to a stable base.
I have also 'broken' Arkswitch which was working on earlier builds. Don't think its related though.

It's weird that it screws up manila; I don't use manila (or T-T, obviously), so can't help you there. I'm just guessing that you're missing a registry key that you need to get the package to work. Is there a tom-tom demo (not warez)? If you post a link, I'll take a look at the cab to see if I can make an ext from it, or figure out what's going on. Some cabs are just a *****, and you're better of doing a cab install. You should see the Redfly cab, it's sick, lol. It's one that has a zip file that does a secondary install. I hate it. I also hate Redfly, but that's another story.
I read somewhere that with some sip buttons, if you press the left half, it launches the keyboard, and if you press the right half, it launches the menu. I've never experienced it myself, and don't know which builds it affects or why it happens. Is this what's going on? I'm just guessing, since you say it eff's up half the time. I have no idea how to disable the connection message, but I wouldn't mind knowing how, either. It's annoying as crap.
What's your device memory left over?
I'm just thinking, maybe you could exclude TomTom from the taskmanager exclusive list.
Sorry one more idea, you are cooking for Rhodium right?
HD2 and Rhodium have a simulair bluetooth stack.
I remember on first HD2 roms there were some problems with TomTom and bluetooth on HD2.
Just a taught.

Thanks both for your continued help.
Yes I am cooking for the Rhodium and am using the Rhodium Manila plus Cookie 1.6.1 so as to keep memory use in check. Ok I have added in the 1.8 HTC messaging but it doesn't cause a problem. Memory is about 40% free on first boot - am also using 23568 as the SYS base. I also use Ameba.
I think my Arkswitch issue is due to something else cooked in, but being honest I dont really use Arkswitch much and so am going to drop it next time I cook I think.
Farmer Ted - There is no issue with TomTom as regards Warez as far as I know - the program is fine - it is the maps that must be purchased and talking about getting round that is where the problems arise. The program itself is OK.
I might get one last chance to cook and flash tonight to check out my theory about the Phone.dll. If not I will post back and throw myself on your mercy, although as you say, it might be better to just live with the fact it will be a cab install. due to the way the files interact and the fact that the tomtom package works, I do think something is being overwritten in the cooking process and all I can see is that file.
The reason I have persisted with TomTom is that I have made an old style OEM package in the past from the cab with no problems (long lost kitchen).
With regards to the Bluetooth issues - I have sorted those now AFAIK.
RESULT! re TomTom - will post back after putting my little girl to bed.
OK - to summarise.
I ran TomTom through the cab importer within OsKitchen and it produced a package.
Although the cab had installed and run with no errors, cooking it in created 2 errors.
Firstly, there was a bluetooth message about bttray or something not being a valid application.
This is caused by two BT files in windows being overwritten by the TomTom ones. Simply renaming the two fiels to include the word OLD in the name sorted that. I will just remove them next time as I do not think they are necessary if the windows files are there.
The second issue was that Manila would not start. I believe this is due to a similar issue to the above, in that phone.dll was being overwritten. I renamed the file to PhoneOLD.dll and cooked in the package and now Manila starts.....
Still looking for answers to my first two questions though
(and yes its cos I keep hittingt he side of the button with my fat fingers that the keyboard selector comes up)
I'm not sure what's up with the keyboard, although I use Resco, so maybe you don't get then menu popup when you hit the wrong half. Have you tried killing SIPGT_app.exe? Maybe it won't pop up with that killed. If that's the case, then remove the bootlauncher key in your ezinput package. Killing it may not help, though.
I could not find that exe file to kill. The keyboard behavious is I believe as it is intended to work - just not how I want it. But are you saying Resco Keyboard fixes this?
However my final reflash last night seems to have gone a bit nuts. I am now getting all sorts of problems with apps not being able to run because they are unsigned etc or bits missing.
We are talking about stuff cooked in that has previously worked flawlessly.
Had some issues with my PC last night as well. I think I need to go back a step when I get home tonight and maybe rebuild the kitchen.
Time and kitchens have moved on a little, but as things are going well, I am back to my original 2 questions that continue to perplex me:
1. Is there a way of stopping the 'cannot connect' bubble from coming up, or even to make it automatically close after say a few seconds.
2. Is there a way of stopping the keyboard selector menu from popping up when the side of the keyboard icon is hit. I just want the qwerty option and do not want the menu to come up ever.
I have been able to make no headway at all with (1), - found mention of one cab somewhere but the link had expired - and have tried various things for (2) but with no success yet.
Anyone?
Cheers
PS- to follow up my previous posts yes the fixes I mentioned for Tom Tom work fine - it was the 3 files causing the issues.
In my old Kaiser roms i used the below reg key to disable connect notification,sorry i really dont remember if it disable also"cannot connect".
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{8ddf46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}]
"Options"=dword:00000000
Disable Sip Menù is the same reg key that another guy posted here:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip]
"EnableSipMenu"=dword:00000000
I tried it on my HD2 before posting here and setting it to 0 it leave the menù where you can select keypad,compact qwerty,full qwerty and language,it is still present a little menù with the option and my guess is that this isnt removable.

Cheers for that - I am concluding that the SIP issue I wil live with, and I already have that reg key set to zero for the connections issue, to no avail. I am experimenting with some other keys, but its really shooting in that dark, and as I cannot readily reporduce the notification, it will be a few days before I can even see any change.
Oh well. I will update if I get anywhere.
Ooooohhh, following some more digging, I MAY have an answer re the cannot connect bubble. I saw someone elses solution and that has actually led me to what could be far simpler.
I will try and cab it up later tonight for other to try. It is just a reg entry
EDIT - maybe I spoke too soon.
I am testing this by alternating between 3G and 2G on the comm manager - normally this will pull up the message. (Could someone confirm this as a valid test method).
I thought I had it solved, then the message appeared, but have done it another ten times with no hint of the message.
Some more testing to do......
