SOLVED! How to set WM 6.5 theme elements without using a formal TSK?

Hello all. I am being driven crazy not being able to make this work. I am trying to set all my theme elements in my ROM via registry in the kitchen, so as not to have to wait a few seconds for the TSK (Livven SimpleGloss Blue) to be formally set via RunCC. I can get everything working except for one color. Where I have it set to be 0000ff (blue) in my TSK, when the ROM boots it is an awful teal color. This of course goes away as soon as I go tot start>settings>home and set the theme. What I have done so far is take the TSK, open in WinCE Cab Manager, export all its reg's and files and put the registry into an app.reg and files into the files section of my EXT package (I use platformrebuilder in my kitchen). My registry entries look exactly like my TSK registry (I compared with windiff). What am I missing here? I hae heard that there might be issues with exporting the long binary regstry values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Color... But I think I exported them correctly? (they are identical when copied and pastes and when exported from ceregeditor from the running ROM..)
Any idea?
THANKS!
EDIT: I have removed all the values in mxipcold_wpc_2.provxml.

solved...
there is a registry key that I cannot explain how it gets set, since it is not visible in the TSK file when viewed in Wince Cab Manager:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\SysColor
I ended up flashing the ROM, letting it boot and verifying the ugly teal was present. I then dumped HKCR, HKCU, and HKLM using CeRegeditor. I applied my tsk and dumped the keys again. I compared with Windiff. HKCR was identical. HKCU and HKLM were different as I was expecting. I would have never found HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\SysColor if it weren't for Windiff.

[Problem] Set icons in start menu

Hi,
I´ve got an issue that i can´t set an icon to task manager and messages in start menu/settings/System. See the pic below. I use a cab file to apply these icons.

i just make a pkg with my reg entries and pics i want to use at the end of my kitchen. open up your reg with reg editor and see if it looks like this...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\cplmain.cpl,1]
"Rank"=dword:000002BC
"Icon"="[COLOR="Red"]\\[/COLOR]Windows[COLOR="Red"]\\[/COLOR]Start_Icon_Lock.png"
notice the \\, it must be that way in registry...a single "\" wont work. also you could try assigning rank, but i dont really think that is necessary for the pic to show.

Thanks for the tip. I made an OEM of my cab to make it easer. This is what reg i have for the task manager, but it dosnt work.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,30]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png"
EDIT: Btw, how is rank determined? Dont really understand what ""Rank"=dword:000002BC" means..

I'm a noobie so forgive me if I make any mistakes.
But... Try adding some "zzz"s before the package to make it run at the end of the build process. If it still doesn't work, search inside all files (most probably the .provxml files) in your kitchen folder for "Task Manager.lnk" and see if another file is assigning a different icon to it. I use EVK's built in search engine to do jobs like that.
I hope I helped
EDIT: About Rank, icons are ordered from highest to lowest rank values in the start menu. I think "000002BC" is a hex value for the normal integer value that the rank is set to.
EDIT2: WOW! Awesome icons! Did you make them?

Thanks for the tip. I have the folder to run last in customization. I understand thats its some sort of hex value or whatever, but i dont understand it so i can place the icons where i want them.
The icons are made by dlink ithink.

2BC = 700. The rankings go from 0-999, and most are higher, which is why that one appears on the low side. The easiest thing is to just arrange everything on the phone (drag and drop), then export the entire start menu registry key and just put that into your start menu EXT. I'm not sure exactly how the values vary left to right and top to down.

I heard somewhere that the built in start menu 'drag n drop' messes with the ranks? I'm probably wrong though
I believe the ranks go in this order.. 1 being highest, 8 being lowest. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I hope NRG doesn't mind me butchering his start menu with my awesome paint skills

Hey... i dont think you are patching and i dont think you are trsut sign the cab... or making the image PNG...
but if you are "cooking" you dont need the cab... just make an EXT PKG with the icons ins the "file" folder... and the REGS in "app.reg" file making the path to the image, if you are patching you must to set the image as "read only" simple slash and be sure that CPL is teh correct one... and for the New TEXTMesage be sure you are using the path to.. tmail.exe i couldnt give you my EXT PKG with the paths cause im not in my home right now

Thanks for the help + Que PPC. The PNG is ok as it works in start menu. Btw, i made a package, instead of an cab. Much simpler to edit. What is the correct CPL for task manager in start menu/setting/System?
I have no clue on CPL or how to determine posistion

Ok i have the stock image for Taskmanager in my startmenu in position #24
Hex = 35A4EBEC
DEC = 900000748
So it seems that in the strat menu you can rank the icons as you want... by this 100 to 900 valu but in settings and for CPL icons the thing is.. they are arranged authomatically by name
(look at the attached image)
and this is the reg for cpl 30
Just this string in: Start menu settings system screen[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,30]
String value named Icon
with this: \Windows\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png
BEsure there is the image in windows folder
so... in your EXT pkg it must be like this:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Task Manager.lnk]
"Rank"=dword:35A4EBEC
"Icon"="\Windows\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,30]

easyst way - works great in build 23112
hello,
1. hardcodec-items
the easyst way to change the icon, is to going in the sys folder to the directory
\SYS\23112\dpi_192\COMMON\Base_DPI_192\
you find all hardcoded items in this directory (e.g. start_icon_*.png)
give your new icons the same name in your ext directory (oem)
2. customize icons
only what you need to customize icon is the following reg-keys
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Task Manager.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Task Manager.png"
-> this key replace the "task manager.lnk" icon in the root of the startmenue
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Office\Notizen.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Office_Notizen.png"
-> this key replace the "notizen.lnk" (like notice in english) icon in the customize directory "order" in the startmenue
so when you need no ranking is the simplest and fastest wayy i can explain to you...

- I can confirm that this works fine.
- However, this is good for lnk that have direct entry under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]. But how to know which cpl index refers to which setting/program shortcut?

The thing is that i dont get the icon that is in SYS, i get the on in the exe. Would not matter if i change it.

Very true i can confirm that... the CPL images for icons in settings system cant be changed... maybe is due to another reg or .ico or other kind of file in oem

You should convert the rgu files to xml files.
XML always run after the RGU, So its better to use when making custom modification.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369457 (second post)

Th e cpl's are loaded in a provxml in the oem folder (don't remember which one off the top of my head). If it's messing with desired settings, rather than loading another provxml during first boot, and slowing down first boot even more, it's better to either edit or delete the oem provxml. Personally, I'd delete it and then put your start info in an app.reg in an EXT that runs near the end of the build.
Edit: the provxml with all of the cpl's is mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml, and it's in oem-lang 0409. It's a complete waste to run this thing, imo. Just put it in an app.reg and you'll get a faster first boot.

Sorry but for change icon position in start menu, cant you do it just from start menu moving that icon and then go to the right reg key and export it?
This work for Kaiser dunno if Leo,Tp2 or Topaz has different way.

hi fellow chefs
i post my question here as i thought it would be better then openijng a new thread for it
i keep marketplace in my rom but i cant set it to the internet folder
i have looked in the initflash.dat and there is nothing there about marketplace(at least not that i could find)
i have looked in the sys map from market place and found a provxml
i changed it there the same way i did for taskmanager and it still doesnt work(for taskmaanger it works)
can some one help me out where or what i need to edit to have marketplace in internet folder
i attache my provxml so you can see what i have done

[SOLVED] Registry overwrite sequence in EVK

Hi,
I have a problem with setting certain settings when cooking. I simply modified the "c36eeaba-524c-471d-a185-22d12a8c294b.rgu" file in the OperatorPkg folder and changed settings such as notification light, camera superfine settings enabled as well as disabling the htc vibration and hiding some Manila tabs. For some odd reason not all the settings work? The camera settings won't work. The notification settings will only work for missed calls but not messages. The HTC Album setting to close instead of minimise won't work either. What am I doing wrong?
What is the order in which provxml, rgu and other customizations are loaded? It could be that I need to include the settings that are not working in the last rgu or provxml file to run.
Please help. Many thanks in advance
p.s. I checked the settings and they are all correct (no typos etc)

First RGU then app.reg then provxml...
So i guess that if you change the OEM RGU and you have a camera EXT the camera EXT app.reg will rewrite the RGU changes then sadly.. if you change the app.reg any missing and very good hidden provxml will rewrite your app.reg...
Addition process is... XIP - OEM - SYS - EXT every section is arranged alphabetical ascending.
Oh and next time search a lil many times this was discused on tutorials... of course you will not see a tutorial saying.... "order how PKGS are included" or "registry cooking addition"

All help apprciated.

Ask in the correct thread bud ¬¬
The tutorial EVK thread
I dont know so much about LG cooking you should ask in the thread for LG in the general forums

In shortly:
Export those keys from the RGU ( copy and paste ),make a txt file named app.reg and put inside the keys.
Go to EXT folder, make a subfolder named ZZ_what_name_you_like, inside this subfolder put the app.reg made before.
This way your setting will be the last to be copied from kitchen and nothing will be overwrite from other .reg, .rgu....but be sure that it will be the last to be cooked, thats why the ZZ or Z or ZZZZ before the name.
Next time make a lill search, this was already spoken many times.

[SOLVED] Display is missing from Settings -> System

Dear Members,
1. I have lost the icon to access display settings in my cooked roms. Meaning i cannot access the screen alignment or clear type settings. I have tried adding reg below as well:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,7]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Screen.png"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I cant access clear type settings from manila as well.
2. My HTC Recorder fails to appear in my start menu as well. I have set it to appear under "Multimedia" folder in app.dat. I have checked spelling and the lnk is present in the files folder.
In effort to solve this prob, i have checked initflashfiles.dat and searched all provxml files to see if something is deleting it (used ervius kitchen editor function to search for "Recorder" string under all files and appears to be ok)
Also, i have tried 2 different builds of SYS - both boots up properly but with same problem. Please advice what i could be doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Details:
Base: TMOUS 2.13
SYS: 21903 / 21892
SOLUTION - Refer to post 3 by Braakie

nothing seems to be wrong... can you please post what are you using to change the registries.. i guess if you are not using UIA icons you will have some troubles.

1) In your \OEM\LEO\COMMON\OEMDrivers folder, there is a 21b6ed86-a505-4ad7-a4aa-b8bb93c926d9.rgu file with this registery entry, change it from 1 to 0:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
2) For the HTC Recorder, change your pad in the \OEM\LEO\0409\OEM_Lang_0409 initflashfiles.dat file, search for "VoiceRecorder", and change Tools to Multimedia:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia"):-File("Voice Recorder.lnk","\Windows\Recorder.lnk")
ps: This is the English translation, change it in your own language.

Thanks guys,
Will recheck the paths and spellings. I have removed all entries in initflashfiles.dat all except the non HTC stuffs and placed it under its respective app.dat in ext folder. Im customizing the location and icon pictures of basic wm stuffs (ie: home, search phone, help,games etc.) using provxmls.
What i have done so far:
1. Copied all these provxmls below to a "zzz_newXML" ext package and edited to new path i want.
mxip_MyPhone_100.provxml
mxipcold_marketplace_100.provxml
mxipupdate_office_100.provxml
mxipupdate_onenote_100.provxml
mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml
mxipupdate_RemoteDesktopMobile.provxml
mxipupdate_taskmgr_shell_1.provxml
mxipupdate_welcomecenter_1.provxml
mxipupdate_windowslive_1.provxml
mxipupdate_windowsliveim_1.provxml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. So the original is left untouched in SYS/OEM folder. Provxmls which assigns/resorts icons have been blanked out and placed in "zzz_newXML" files folder to overwrite the default paths so that i can fully control all icons using single provxml.
3. I am using mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml in XDA\EVK\OEM\LEO\0409\ProjectDefault_A to do start menu rearrangement. All Ext package icons customizations in placed in its respective folders.
My reason for choosing this method is so that i dont have to go to initflashfiles.dat or provxmls in new SYS package whenever i update system builds or add/remove ext package.
I have attached mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml (from item 3 above) and my initflashfiles.dat if you guys need more details. Please advice if there are any other better/easier way of doing this customization.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the late reply!

Thanks Braakie! Finally found time to rebuild rom with the reg key and that did bring back Screen option in settings. I still couldnt get the recorder right, maybe something wrong with the ext package itself.
I think we can change it to solved now as my main concern was with screen settings.

Thanks again for your help!

Both backgrounds are set in their corresponding *.cpr file(s). You can either change it there and re-direct it to your image or simply rename your image and over-write the stock WM image.
Reg key for 24 hour:

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. had a brain wave and renamed one of the wallpapers and then did a search through the registery for that new file name. Found it under
HKEYCU\controlpanel\desktop\wallpaer!
I have been looking for the 24 hour key for ages! Cheers

When I cooked both registery keys into the rom neither worked. Time is still 12 hour and the background screen is still default. Even though when I go in to the desktop registery key the entry is the one I entered

for the time format ...
HkLM\nls\overrides:
12h am-pm
ITime = 0
S1159= AM
S2359= PM
STFmt = h:mm:ss tt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
24h:
ITime=1
STFmt = HH:mm:ss
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I'm sorry, I miss understood what you were looking for originally. Are you trying to set a wallpaper for the first boot? If so, I simply just save my wallpaper as a .gif and name it "Default_stwater_480_800.gif" this will vary depending or device resolution.
As far as the clock settings not sticking, make sure that your reg isn't being over-written later in the cooking process.
Edit:
Thanks Poy, I forgot about "ITime"=dword:00000001

I'm sorry, I miss understood what you were looking for originally. Are you trying to set a wallpaper for the first boot? If so, I simply just save my wallpaper as a .gif and name it "Default_stwater_480_800.gif" this will vary depending or device resolution.
As far as the clock settings not sticking, make sure that your reg isn't being over-written later in the cooking process.

You were close with the filename. I found out it was HTC_stwater_480_800.jpg. Once I changed that it then set the default background for me. I simply created an ext package and added the new wallpaper with the same name into a files folder and then set the app.dat file to copy it to the windows directory.
Still working setting the time to 24h

You also can customize (Don´t remember if Titanium or Start Menu´s background) overwritting files "Default_stwater_480_800.gif" & "Default_stwater_800_480.gif" (depends of resolution).
Is not necessary add an app.dat to the package, because all archives inside "files" folder go to windows folder. If you want a copy of these archives in other folders, then you can set app.dat

Grand,
Got start menu background working. Now just looking to set the time to 24 hour format. If I make the changes suggested above after I flash the rom it changes, but If I cook reg changes into the rom and flash it stays at 12 hour.

Something must be overwriting your time settings either later in the cooking process or a provxml. OSB has the ability to preview reg, but I am not sure about OSK (it's just been too long)

manila world clock has the option to change time format 24h/12h so maybe something has to be also changed there ...

I think you could be right. There is definitly something on the initial startup is overriding the cooked registery keys.

try cooking without adding any keys to nls, make your changes in regional settings (winmo-settings) and then export complete nls-key, using it in your kitchen next time.
according to osbuilder, nothing in nls-key is set via provxml, only by boot.rgu and the rgu from base_lang_0xxx (in sys). adding your own reg later in cooking-process should overwrite them just fine.
the important part during 1st boot is LCID (=region), which also defines a standard timeformat for the region.

EDIT2: Solved issue thanks to caliban2 for giving me the idea!
Found you need all the following reg keys to make it work!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NLS]
"DefaultLCID"=dword:00000809
"SystemLCID"=dword:00000409 - I assume this points to your region?
"LegacyLocaleMode"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NLS\overrides]
"ITMPN"=dword:00000009
"ITLZr"=dword:00000001
"ITime"=dword:00000001
"STFmt"="HH:mm:ss"
"STime"=":"
Thanks again for your help!

the stuff in \overrides shouldn't be necessary. i set my region to english (uk) and here is what i get:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
"DefaultACP"=dword:000004e4
"DefaultLCID"=dword:00000809
"DefaultOCP"=dword:00000352
"LegacyLocaleMode"=dword:00000001
"SystemLCID"=dword:00000409
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"LCID"=dword:00000809
"SSDte"="dd.MM.yyyy"
this gives me 24hr-clock and the crazy date-format you guys use on your island.
while playing with this i noticed that region-settings in manila add lot's of keys in \overrides, while winmo-settings does it's stuff in \nls (except the LCID in overrides).
(nevermind the "SSDte", that key i use for setting date-format on lockscreen.)

Hello mate,
just to correct you:
"DefaultLCID" points to the region, not "SystemLCID"
Best Regards!
