Hi folks!
I have an issue that I'm hoping somebody here can help with.
I have a customer for whom I'm developing a custom app for WM5. In discussions about installation/deployment the need came up for the cab installation to be completely automated. What I mean by that is to make sure that once the cab starts executing, no dialogs appear prompting the user for input (i.e. install location). They need this to be completely automated.
Now, I've done my research and found that there is a section called "DefaultInstall" in the .inf file that is used during the build of a cab file that will allow you to specify the installation location and therefore bypassing the pop-up dialog during the execution of the cab file. That's great and will work fine. The problem is that there are also some other cabs that are installed as part of the deployment of the application (third-part API's, SQL CE etc.) that already have their cabs pre-built without a default location specified. This causes the pop-up to appear.
Does anyone know of any workaround for these other cabs? Any way that I can get them to install to a default location so that they don't display the pop-up?
Would extracting the files from these pre-built cabs and re-build them with the DefaultInstall section work?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks!!

Try this http://row1.info/content/view/85/2/
Use a custom install dll
Thanks doedoe!
I haven't tried it out but I will and post the results here.
Anybody else have any ideas?
thx.
have you thought about calling wceload.exe with "/noui" or "/silent" params?

thx mestrini,
I remember looking into that and running into similar issues that are discussed on the site that your link points to.
I will give it a shot again and see what happens...
Hey
I was checking around for any specifc ways to remove or hide icons from the settings area. As i understood it right the settings is just like windows control panel with CPL files. Basically in wm5 you just enter HKLM\Controlpanel add a d-word HIDe = 0 to hide the icon.
But with these new Wm6 feature i cannot find the encryption. Anyone know where the cpl is stored for teh encryption?
Or know any other way of hiding that icon in the settings area.

Ok. I was looking for it on wm 6.1, and no find an exact answer.
Anyway, I delete the WmTsk: delete the exe and ink (maybe dll) and edit
mxip_Oem_Translation_0409.provxml
You have to delete the strings and correct the number of applications.
Hope this help you

Where you found the WmTsk file? And how u actully remove the ink from settings. Trying to find the locations of where they store the ink files for settings havent found it.
On the XML i dont have quite the same view of xml files but i look see if any provision xml is for the encryption. So far only found for certificates.
-Abxi-
well, i make all this changes when cook and modify my roms....in fact i delete the clear storage files (ClearStorage.exe, ClearStorage.exe.0409.mui, ClearStorage.htm and ClearStorage.lnk), and work in the mxip_Oem_Translation_0409.provxml file.(modify the Nº of applets, and delete the lines of clear storage), all with Neokit (cook tool located in prophet links)
As I know is the only way, because the config is in the rom, and you can't delete the files, either modify the provxml
[APP]Apps\Scripts to backup Personal info(and AutoRestore) |"FlashBack 0.6"| 10-23-09
UPDATE: 10-22-09 FlashBack 0.6
-Added program tab backup and autorestore
-Added MySpace profile(Microsoft MySpace)
-Added some more Game and Software items
-Added Zensor autorestore and autoload(autoload still needs some work)
UPDATE: 8-27-09 FlashBack 0.5
Uploading latest package from my kitchen. I will put together a cab soon, but for now you can use the flashback script from the package and overwrite original
Changelog:
Made some minor modifications as well as some optimization to reduce errors when restoring.
-Added Wifi Locations backup under software
-Added double check for manila autorestore. This way if you have non manila ROM It will not try to load manila.
For this to work correctly you need to add the following lines to your manila app.reg:
Code:
;FlashBack support
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FlashBack]
"ManilaExists"=dword:1
NOTE: Make sure to disable weather restore or delete the database when switching manila builds
Still taking further requests and hoping for some help from the real mort pros
UPDATE: 8-3-09
-Some fixes for missed lines
-Fixed G-Alarm(misspelled something causing no backup)
-added Facebook backup(not fully tested)
-added world clock cities
-Changed backup of manila files to use INI
-If you have cooked an older version into your ROM, be sure to use the newest FlashBack to backup Manila data again. The new AutoRestore script relies on the new INI files.
-Any more software requests?
UPDATE: Huge update.
Added:
-more personal settings(Buttons)
-Tools*
-Manila Wallpaper and Weather(tested .png and .jpg wallpapers)
-Made a package which will restore all saved settings when cooked into ROM.
-Added option to Auto restore. Auto is enabled by default. Look under tools.
-Added support for some builds of Opera
-Added option to Auto load Manila after Flash as oposed to "Windows Default" AKA Titanium. I prefer Manila, so if you enable the option and its cooked in you can have it right after flash.
-Prepared for adding program registrations
Check it out and let me know if it is all working for you. Please note that I will not be held responsible for any loss of data(should that somehow occur, but dont know how it would). Attaching Visual Package and cab. Legacy package will come soon. Edit: Legacy is here, but not sure if it works as I dont use legacy. Please report back for others.

EDIT: The "RestoreAll" mortscrpt in packages has an extra quotation mark on line 29. Remove the first one before cooking. Should look like this:
Code:
regwritedword("HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
as opposed to this:
Code:
regwritedword([B]"[/B]"HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
This is not a needed step, but it is to double check that Restoreall does not run more than once. There is provision in the script for it to delete the link from startup as well.
Another note: Some features still need some more work to function properly. This is all trial and error as I have to find all the appropriate keys for each item. Some have more than one key which needs backed up. Thanks for trying FlashBack
UPDATE: 7-27-09
After some more work with mortscript(and some help from Noonski, thanks bud) I have put together another backup script which backs up personal info such as :
-Bluetooth Partners
-Wifi Networks
-Owner Info
-Volume
-Rings and Alerts
-Backlight settings
It is still a work in progress, but figured I would put it out there for testing and also feedback on what else to add. Noonski showed me the command lines needed to export and import reg, so now it is just a matter of adding the correct keys. I am learning as I go, so bear with me here. Feel free to test this script and add feedback here. If you are skilled with mortscript feel free to take what I have and make it better. Here is the zip with a cab(which has the script, an exe with icon and dotfred's taskmanager to import the keys). I also included the script and exe to make it easier for others to add or change things. Thanks for trying it By the way I call it Flash Back because I flash so manyt ROMs and I just want my info back in an easy way

I am very new to mortscript, so this may not be as pretty as some of the pro's might be able to do. I am hoping that someone would be interested in this and develop it further. Basically, this will copy the saved game files from teeter(labrynth) and Resco Bubbles. I started out with teeter, then found the save file for Resco, and I am thinking of adding other games/Apps to the backup list. If you know where the program data is saved, should be pretty easy to add to the list.
This script is not as advanced as it could be, but does the job required. It copies only to a specific location. Which is "\storage card\phone backup\*"
it will create the needed folders, and have separate folder for each program. I wanted it this way because I can then make a script to run in SASHIMI and restore everything on auto.
Attatched are 2 cabs. One is only for Teeter backup, the second is for both games. Includes shortcut and icons.
This is one of my first mortscript applications, so go easy on me. Just thought I would share. I know I am flashing so many ROMs that I could never get to the end of any games, so it sounded pretty handy to me. Once I get things commented out and cleaned up a bit, I will share the script for mort-pro's to fix up and optimize(hopefully). I will also share my autorestore script for SASHIMI or UC when I get it done and checked.
This seems handy dandy! I play Teeter and Resco Bubbles often! Now if only it had a cool interface with two big fancy buttons haha.
Edit: Never mind. Opened the cab and found your script.
Can you tell me where the Resco Bubbles data is stored? I had to do a hard reset and lost my saved games. I have my backups. Would love to recover the files.
Thanks!
Jason
This could become a usefull script - I for one have backed up my GAlarm reg keys because it is so annoying entering my alarm settings everytime I flash or hard reset.
Other things i'd like to be included for back up / restore...
Device Name
bluetooth pairings
WIFI settings
Game High scores & level achieved
threaded messaging ON
basically all the things I re-enter when I flash the phone!
Still learning about mort, so hopefully someone an step up to help. We would need to find a way to copy the registry entries for some of these things or somehow export and import. I know SASHIMI uses sktools, or used to at least to import export registry entries. I'll have a look at the script when I get some time off. Going to be busy for at least a few days with work, but this sounds interesting to me. I'd like to be able to hard reset or flash a ROM and have everything set up the way I want and everything restored. Although most of the registry tweaks I do in my build process, but the saved data really helps.
Lol, how to cheat at solitaire:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Solitaire.
Not that I've ever done it before.
I was thinking we could also make it so you could select a level to start at by keeping individual file from each level progression. This might not be the best way, but it might be an option. Would have to have a copy of the userdata.dat from each level. ie: complete level 1, copy userdata, complete 2 copy userdata, etc. Anyone interested? not sure how big the app would become this way, but I think it would be nice to choose level to begin. Anyone interested in helping get all the files? I could write a script to copy the file, and maybe rename each one as userdata_1.dat, ....2.dat, etc. Or maybe someone could figure out how to edit the data file correctly. Looks like there is only this:
Code:
6>
inside of the dat file for level 16.
Code:
Ӧ
level 18. Seems random to me, but maybe someone can understand if there is something to understand.
Added a new script. See first post
Updated Flash Back script. See first post
UPDATED. See first post
Just a little trick that I use that might be helpful... SKTracker is priceless! So - for example - if you have a setting you would like to save, start up SKTracker and take a snapshot, then change the setting, then take another snapshot. Then compare the two in SKTracker. It will show you all the registry entries that changed.
Uploaded lates FlashBack version 0.5. See first post
I want to make this into an actual program. Would any developer like to help? I am a total newb trying to learn VB or similar. Could someone share some sample code to :
-copy mutiple files(or make compressed backup in a centralized .zip)
-import/export registry
I know these sound like simple things, but as a newb it would be nice to see sample code I have figured out the UI part and navigating forms, but still dont know these basic commands
Thanks for any help or if a developer would like to help with an open source files/registry backup software
Updated to FlashBack 0.6. See first post for details
Hello, does that backup Manila's Facebook-Contacts link?
Gday - i have tried using FlashBack to backup the following items
Personal Data -> Rings and Alerts
Personal Data -> Wifi Networks
Software -> Resco Explorer
Manila -> Weather
All of them say they were succesful, but on restoring only the Manila weather worked - everything else did not restore. And when i look in the Phone Bakup folder on my storage card I have a Manila subfolder wih Manila.ini and Weather folder with a manila file in it (which is obviuosly the weather backup) and the only other folder is called RegKeys but it is completely empty. So evidently the Rings/Alerts, Reso Explorer and Wifi Networks are not creating any reg files or other files in the backup area
Any ideas?
amazing!!!! i'll cook it in my next rom compilation to give it a try!
thank you
Yeah gotta try this out. Awesome idea. But has DEV stopped?

Yeah seems to gave stopped... i never had a response to my queries in november (about 3 posts up). Most of the items i tried to backup with this script didnt actually seem to create any backup files and thus werent restored.
I just researched and discovered myself the various files and registry items that need to be backed up for the various things i wanted to maintain between flashes, and use SASHIMI to do it. It is brilliant and saved me hours of customising after a flash. I strongly reccomend to check out SASHIMI
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"
Help, not sure what I am doing.
I am using kitchen_2.2 for the LG Incite.
I start with a clean kitchen.
I have put the 24001 rom in the base rom/incite directory.
run option:

Press any key to continue . . .
There is nothing under \OEM\INCITE and \SYS, so I copy temp\OEM and temp\sys to \
Now I run d, and get Now, arrange the folders as needed and copy OEMXIPKERNEL into \ROM\INCITE\YOURXIPVERSION and everything else in \ROM\SHARED\YOURXIPVERSION
Press any key to continue . . .
But I am not sure what to move. Under ROM i see a shared/21109 directory
I do not see OEMXIPKERNEL. I assume the Yourxipverson should be 24001.
If I continue with e (launch ErviusKitchen), change my device to incite, build 21000, rom version 2.0.00.00, sys build 0409, I see things set to ture and false.
If I select build I get errors. I tried copying dirs to different diretories, but just more errors.
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.

I'm currently running some Dinik (Anastasia) icons but they're not all displaying. So I've started creating my own in .png format.
Now, I'm not a developer so I have no idea how to get these onto the HD2. But I want to at least have a play.
Do I just need to USB the .png's into the folder but make sure the icon names match the names being called by the app? Or do I need to somehow create some code (a CAB file) as well?
All ideas appreciated.
Cheers
