I just copied those files in windows directory but nothing happens, how to use them on a coocked rom?

Try this EXT; you should probably remove the stock .dll from the Shell folder before cooking to avoid cooking errors.

To make sure I am following correctly:
Kinetic Scrolling is the scrolling I can "push" down with my finger and it keeps going until it hits end of the page right?
I am looking for something like this as I am kind of tired to slide with my finger 3-4 times before I reach the bottom of the start menu...
I used cab to quad-icon start menu...
How to setup kinetic scrolling? (something like SPB Mobile Shell)??

This is always included in all cooked roms since it is a particularity of all WM 6.5, the one attached as only a much more elastic effect, if you dont see any difference maybe your chef as already it in his rom.

Just over-write it with a physics engine from another build-probably the stock physics engine from the build you're using. I'm pretty sure that it disappeared after the 2306x builds. You need to recmod the module from any of the builds first, then drop the file into \windows with total commander and soft reset.

Know where I can get one? Do I need to download a whole kitchen just for that one file? (searching didn't help much)

Download the build (whatever one you're using, or one that's close to it). Then look in the Shell folder (sys/common/Shell, if it's a kitchen) and extract out the phsycsengine.dll module with 7-zip. Get recmod.exe (easy to find), and drag and drop the module/folder onto the icon for recmod.exe on your pc, and then get the file out of the module folder.

Make a Folder with a name that you like,inside make a subfolder named files and put inside the attached dll....of course that folder must be in you EXT directory...thats all.

[OEM] package Internet Explorer 6 for cooks

This post is obsolete
Thank you very much for this!
EDIT:
Only these two folders? No more or do I have to replce the folders inside of my Kitchen?
I took the liberty to changing the Title to Internet Explorer and Giving you Bump in informing you.
Hope people get the intention of this thread, so hopefully there won't be hundred's of different IE versions around.
Have you Seen PIE8 yet?
HI!!!
I am looking forward the PIE6 such a long time!!!
Thank you very much!!
But I want to know " Can it be uninstall to roll back to PIE4???"
Thanks!!!

Hi Noonski, yes I already have Internet Explorer version 8 for a few days. Not tested yet. I uploaded it to mediafire so you can download the cab here. I didn't make an OEM package yet.

i installed mi ie8 cab on my hp ipaq 214. but i dont know how to start it. where is exe?
so I tried instaling the cab file and I do not see any differences. It seems like an addon for the already existing PIE... ?
I looke at the OEM, and I am not sure what the differences are other than the new DLLs.
Can someone explain what the new features are?
I still can't see the myspace page normal. WTF?!
Ok guy more details...
The oem package must go in Sys folder togehter other Browsing folders, you must not delete anything!
Cook your room and enjoy, rember tu put flashlite also in your rom!
For IE8 probably need some other file, I'll try to cook in a rom to try it!

That explains it. I was going to report back as not working but i might try that and check back later.
I tried the Package both in OEM and Sys, iT did not change anything here to.

Congrats on that.
Did you try the first root folder and put the two inner folders in the sys?
Repack posted in post #1, this should work.
I have cooked this into my ROM and it all works OK apart from the IE home page. In the folder 'browsingie_LANG_0409' the .RGU file sets the home page to
Code:
"home_0409"="file://\\Windows\\iemo6_default_0409.htm"
and this file is included in the folder. When I launch IE though I get the 'Action canceled' page. I have verified the file is there and if I use File Exlporer to find the file and then open it, it all opens OK. If I open the file this way and then set it to the home page and then close and open IE the problem is still there so I am stuck as to what the issue is?
I have noticed similar behaviour with other .htm files as well; for example the JBlend0409.htm file when trying to access it via Help - you get 'Cannot open Help. The file cannot be found' however the file is there and the shortcuts are correct?
It is pretty weird?

Opal Phone Canvas CAB

Hi,
i downloaded the Pack linked here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2870848
But this one is not installable on my Polaris. It says "Installation not successful".
I also downloaded M-Amines Opal Phone, but this one is also not installable correctly and it does not have this slider, that protects the buttons, that i can not click "end call" with my face
Does anyone have a Cab with the slider as shown on the pics in the link above?
I have M-Amine's 2.0 (GER) installed
Thanks...

I don't remember where I got this cab from and I'm not sure whether it has the slider to answer etc. You might want to check the name/size just to make sure it isn't one you already tried. Hope it helps.
Thanks, it is the right one.
BUT: It looks weird
The Slider is not transparent and the Red Button which ends the call is only red and does not show any font.
Do you know why and how to fix it? Maybe I'm doing something wrong

There is no transparent slider.

Read this in another thread but can't remember where it was: Maybe try this and then attempt to reinstall the cab file. Hope this helps.
Delete reg keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas & set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=0, it should then return to the default windows mobile dialer.

You need the right language files for your ROM.
I installed mbarvian's CAB from here, and it has 3 language file:
phcanrc.dll.0409.mui
ContactAssistDll.dll.0409.mui
PhoneSettingExt.dll.0409.mui
Since I use your same ROM (M-Amine 2.0 [ITA]) I needed .410.mui files and managed to extract these
phcanrc.dll.0410.mui
PhoneSettingExt.dll.0410.mui
from AZTOR Diamond's ROM, and just copied ContactAssistDll.dll.0409.mui to ContactAssistDll.dll.0410.mui.
I am attaching these files, just unzip in \windows and reboot.

P.S.
I also had to install jadeStatusIcons.cab to fix the "battery shows as always full" problem.

Here you go...
I haven't tested these files, but they should work.
In order to extract more languages, just download the ROM in your language from AZTOR thread, extract DIAMIMG.nbh from the archive and issue these commands (you can find the executable here in XDA, just download a recent kitchen...):
NBHextract.exe DIAMIMG.nbh
ren *_OS.nb OS.nb
NBSplit.exe -kaiser OS.nb
ImgfsFromNb.exe OS.nb.payload imgfs.bin
ImgfsToDump.exe imgfs.bin
If everything is fine, you will find a "dump" folder which contains every file in the ROM, just open it and search for the MUIs in your language.

Thanks to all,
I was looking to change my dailer, and the opal one is exactly what I was looking for.
I then install the cab with the one correcting the battery status (works fine)
BUT SINCE MY PHONE IS NO LONGER RINGING NOR VIBRATING WHEN INCOMING CALL !!
I checked the register HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/RingTone0 Script String=av0pw3r on the default Windows Mobile ring tone
Any idea?
Many many BIG Thanks in advance !!
Hi all
I reply to myself: I got the solution:
For whatever reason the Category key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0 was corrupted: after Ring, some gabrage appear poluting the key.
I just earased it and leaving only Ring and now my phone is ringing and vibrating again.
Good night

[SOLVED] How to cook in a set of folders with duplicate files

Ok heres my dilema:
I wan't to cook in loads of manila files, but theres a few different versions of each one, and they aren't going into windows.
its better I explain it, heres an example:
Root Folder
\Folder 1
¬FileX
\Folder 2
¬FileX
\Folder 3
¬FileX
How can I do this? is I cant put the same file (FileX) in the files folder of a package as it has the same file name... The only way I can think of is to have a seperate package for each invidual file, and considering theres over 40 files, its going to take a long time!
Are there anymore efficient ways to do this? Thanks

If all these files go into "\Windows", there will be only one in the end ... not 40. Meaning the last "FileX" your kitchen finds will have overwritten all the others ...
You can't end up with all these files, without doing a little bit of legwork.
When you cook a ROM, all the files end up in \Windows, and are then moved around as required.
So, you could either cook all the files in with different names (so they don't overwrite) and then move them using a provxml or initflashfiles.dat, or you could cab up all the files, and run the cab after first boot.
The easiest way is to use a cab or to put everything in a zip file and use an 'inzipall' mortscript to unzip the folders wherever you want during customization.

Hmm the cab sounds like a good aproach, although still I wouldn't be able to have more than one manila file with the same name in the cab.

Cab files do allow you to specify the paths, so they do allow you to have files with the same name. WinCE CAB Manager is a good choice to create cabs. You can then use RunCC / Autorun/ XDA_UC to install it during the first boot.

Just take a look at this package; it has a zip file, a mortscript, and the add2config that you need. Here's a mortscript package that you can use.
You could also rename the files for example "1_FileX", "2_FileX" and have initflashfiles.dat rename it to the filename you want it to be, like so:
Directory("\Folder_1"):-File("FileX","\Windows\1_FileX")
Directory("\Folder_2"):-File("FileX","\Windows\2_FileX")

But that would really clog up your ROM, so the mortscript way is better.

Thanks I dont understand what the mortscript for is (the one from 4shared) but Im using the add2config package, I think I get it I will let you know when its finished cooking. Although I am having a problem where none of my add2config packages are working so it might be useless

You need mortscript support cooked into your rom one way or another if you're going to use zip files; that's what the 4shared package is for.

Problems cooking quick shutdown

So, I'm pretty new at creating working ext packages from cab files, and I could use some help.

Cooking that package, I have a few problems. When I hold down the power button, it says exe can't be found. So, just to make sure that the visual aspect is working, I try searching for quickshutdown.exe in \Windows and can't find it.
So, what's wrong in my .dat and .reg?
Thanks a lot for the help, this will definitely give me a better understanding of how EXT packages work!

First of all, I think that these lines in your app.dat are unnecessary; because when you cook the ROM then the files that are not specified with the path in app.dat land automatically in the Windows folder:
Directory("\Windows"):-File("bootloader.exe","%Windows%\bootloader.exe")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("ConfigQS.exe","%Windows%\ConfigQS.exe")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("DLLSetup.dll","%Windows%\DLLSetup.dll")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("QuickShutdown.exe","%Windows%\QuickShutdown.exe")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("Short_Power.exe","%Windows%\Short_Power.exe")
Click to expand...

Maybe you will find something in my post that can help you.
It's much, much easier to do than the way you're trying to do it. First, copying all of those files is really wasteful. If you look at your registry keys, there are paths there for the resource files. Instead of creating a \windows sub-directory, you could just set the path as \windows. Then, the files that are in rom will be used, and you won't need duplicates, or any of the app.dat lines (except for the .lnk).
Change the .rgu to this:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Manila_Config QuickShutdown]
"SourcesDirectory"="\\Windows\\"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Manila_QuickShutdown]
"actionShortPress"=hex:00
"BootActiv"=hex:01
"langFile"="\\Windows\\lang.english.txt"
"RestartActiv"=hex:01
"ScreenOffActiv"=hex:01
"ShutdownActiv"=hex:01
"SleepActiv"=hex:01
Try deleting the DLLSetup.dll-it's really unlikely that you need it. It's just cabinstall information, most likely. Unless you really want all those other lang files, I'd just delete all but the English one. If you cook them all in, it's possible that you'll need to get the others into \windows\lang (it doesn't look like there's a reg key for the lang directory, just for the file being used). I don't know, I've never used the app. As mentioned above, you may also need to fix the path of the shortcut.
You may also want to look into compressing the png files, although it's not really worth it if they're only 1-2 kb each.
This is what I use. I put it together and it worked, so I never did much investigation to see if it could be optimized.
One thing to be aware of ... if you have carrier files which fire provxml, it is possible that the provxml could do something to overwrite the poweroffwarning file here. Same is true if you have a poweroffwarning file getting copied in later in the build process.

Great call! Worked immediately! Thanks a lot!
One more quick question. Cooking total commander is being dumb. The EXT I create doesn't have any exe files in the "files" folder, and doesn't extract any into windows. It just isn't working well lol.
Also, what version or what addon enables the user to hold the slash button and bring up the menu where you can hide exit blah blah total commander?
Thanks
Smith
Total Commander is easy to cook in. Again, you don't need app.dat lines, except for the shortcut (make sure it points to windows). Just put the .exe and the plugins (registry, wlan, ftp and webdav, if you have it) in windows. Cook in the reg settings, and you're good to go. I would convert the exe to a module as well.

So... Create the EXT and recmod without any reg or dat entries except icon and shortcut?
No, include the ghisler reg key (hkcu-software-ghisler). Set it up however you like it (like w/ a fully loaded hotlist). But don't move the files around w/ the app.dat.

Hello Farmer Ted - what for is the file that you attached?
It's a plugin for WebDav, which is the new big thing. I have no clue wtf it does.
Get the ghisler reg key from the device, not the cab. That's always the way to do it. Kheb 1.1 is the way to go for making packages. Cab converters miss a lot of stuff.
Edit: here's my package; it's in oem form (for osbuilder), and it looks like there's a second file needed to get webdav to work in the plugins. Edit the hotlist however you want it (it has folders on my sd card, which are useless to anyone else). It doesn't have a shortcut or initflashfiles.txt in it, since I don't use them for my start menu.
To be more specific about TCMD, here is the output I get with OSkitchen cab to ext:
TCMD>Files
And within the files directory:
000cecmd.002
CECMD_~2.001
00000ftp.003
00000LAN.005
registry.004
TcmObex3.007
TcmObex5.006
So what do I do with those files lol

Thanks for your package, much appreciated! This thread has taught me a lot about how ext's work
Do you know what all those strange files I talked of 2 posts up are though? Like, how do I put those all together?

I'm not sure what the technical name is, but those are the raw files from the cab; if you extract the cab with winzip or 7-zip, that's the file names. If you give them the proper extensions (.dll, exe, etc) then you can recover the proper files. It looks like the unpacking didn't work properly.

[SOLVED]First boot customization doesn't start

Hi,
I'm using the latest osKitchen (v1.33.5) to build my own ROM for the HTC Kovsky (SE Xperia X1). Followed the tutorial, imported the latest official R3A WWE build, added a WM 21916 build and started cooking. But there's no first boot customization after a flash/hard reset. There are no errors, executing AutoRun.exe from the Windows folder doesn't seem to work either.
The config.txt (used by AutoRun and RunCC) files are left stock, but editing them doesn't make a difference. How can I fix this? If you need more information, just ask. I'll reply asap.
Have you added the runcc.lua file and redirected it to the right config.txt?
If so, flash the ROM and look whether those files are in \Windows\ (and just not executed) or not present.
Flashed the ROM: runcc.lua was already added and it redirects to the right config.txt. Paths are correct.
...
this happened to me not so long ago:
check that the autorun.exe and config**.txt files do not get overwrote during rom creation.
check that there are no duplicate files with those file names..
good luck!
Rn
I don't think those files are being overwritten during ROM creation. How can I check this? Can't find the Autorun.exe in the kitchen but after building and flashing it is visible in the Windows folder on the device. There are no duplicate files, triple checked that.
Tried building a new kitchen from scratch, an untouched build (only importing the stock ROM and the 21916 build) didn't have a first boot customization either.
I remember figuring this out on my X1 a year ago was a pain in the a*s. Can't recall where the problem was anyway. I could upload my OEM Packages for you if you'd like to? I'm using a older version of that kitchen anyway so this "could" lead to new problems...
That would be great! Please let me know what kitchen version you used, if there are any problems I can try to roll back to that one.
I PM'd you. Most persons would not know what to do with said files so it makes no sense posting them here I guess...
...
hey dude,
not sure what your problem is if all your config**.txt are there and there is no duplicate files, for me i had a mortscript called "autorun.exe" which obviously overwrote my original autorun.exe and caused my device to do no customisation.
erm, as for not finding your autorun.exe
lots of files in the kitchen are hidden and the windows hidden files toggle does not show all the hidden files for some reason :/
me personally i use ACDSee photo manager 9 to view the files in my kitchen, i then select all the files and untick the 'hidden' properties.
ALL the files you couldnt see in windows explorer are always visable using Acdsee, by unticking the properties with Acdsee, it now makes them visable in windows explorer.
hope you understand what i meen :s
btw, i only use acdsee9 to view my pictures and to change the properties of the files.
i edit all my images with photoshop and paint.

According to my searching results this issue seems to be very rare. Posting the download link here shouldn't harm others.
For osKitchen version number you mentioned in your PM, open the kitchen and use Help -> About. Don't know if this option was present in earlier builds, but at least in 1.33.5 it is.

I wasn't at the stage of using Mortscript in my ROMs yet. Untoggle hidden system files in Windows folder options did the trick, I found AutoRun.exe
Now I'm gonna sit and wait until the download is available...

cool man, but remember:

Acdsee will show them all so none are hidden, trust me

Will do.
For the others that might experience this problem, the download link for EXT and OEM packages available here. These packages are untested, but I'm cooking them now. Thanks for the help. Scroll down for the fix.
So I think it's working now?
@All: please be aware, those packages are device-specific and for HTC Kovsky / SE Xperia X1!
Ok, tried replacing the existing packages with those from derliebewolf. Even when left untouched or using different (correct) commands there's still no customization. @derliebewolf, could you upload your "osKitchen.exe" and "Resources" directory for me? It's all I need, I can fill the kitchen from scratch there.
If this turns out to be a kitchen specific problem I won't hesitate posting it in the official osKitchen thread.
This is a pretty complicated problem to give advise.
Just a suggestion, didn't you modified/removed something from your initflashfiles.dat?
I mean the startup.
Compair it with a stock rom if you did and check if something is missing.
On my HD2:
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("ConfigureDevice.lnk","\Windows\ConfigureDevice.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("bugtrap.lnk","\Windows\bugtrap.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("HTCStartUp.lnk","\Windows\HTCStartUp.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("PKG.lnk","\Windows\PKG.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("SignatureReplace.lnk","\Windows\SignatureReplace.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("Welcome.lnk","\Windows\welcome.lnk")

You tried everything possible so I taught maybe this could be possible.
On Xperia it's probably about the same.

You really need to leave the welcome.lnk line in there, or else you won't get the alignment screen and you can't boot the device up.
Found the issue: an incomplete initflashfiles.dat. By adding the lines below to a stock initflashfiles.dat the whole issue has been fixed.
Code:
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("CheckAutoRun.lnk","\Windows\CheckAutoRun.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("AutoShortcut.lnk","\Windows\AutoShortcut.lnk")
Turned out a stock initflashfiles.dat file doesn't have those lines included by default. Thanks to all for the help, expect a new custom Xperia X1 ROM soon.
That's nice to hear, congrats.
Please at [SOLVED] to the topic title and I will link this thread to the solved cases sticky.

Which makes me woder whether those lines are missing in my initflashfiles.dat as well? RunCC is working perfectly anyway... Glad you solved it!
