Hello XDA users....
I think you know it all, that the ROMkitchen is a fine application to get our device nearly perfect.
But the ROMkitchen is out of date. This means many applications aren´t not in the actual version. Therefore Auburnham and I thought to update the applications.
The problem is, that the amount of added applications to the kitchen is to big to make this happen by us two. Because of this problem I´m searching for some people, which wants to help.
Another problem is, that you need for this a device that haven´t got installed that piece of software. This means that when you want to help me with Phonext for example, you must have a device without any version of Phonext installed.
So, if you are going to help me make a snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Install the software.
Make again an Snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Send these two files to [email protected] with inforamtion about the program you have installed and the exact Version you have installed.
When I´ve got analyzed the two files i will reply to you with a wishlist of files that have been created on your device. After sending me the files, i can update the kitchen....
IF there are any quesions or anything else, feel free to contact me....
Regards
Stefan
Good Idea :
I'd be happy to contribute.
Tell me which application you want me to install and I'll do it provided that I find the procedure (that I've seen being posted elsewere in this forum).
NB : I'm using XDA I with a Frenchy 3.16 and be stuck with it :evil: ; so there is no chance for me to re-build a new a geniun 3.16 Rom again.
My XDA is all up and running.
I've overcome my Language FRA error message after purchasing a SD card reader and loading the ROM through the bootloader. 8)
Now, I'm about to install ttn 3 on my XDA. Do you want list it in your kitchen ?
What do you need exactly ?
I would be happpy to help. I am a regular user of your site and appreciate the effort that has been put into it.
I understand the effort needed to keep things working and up to date.
Pierre
I'm in!!
Just let me know what you need and when and I will maker every endevour to help.
Thanks for all you do

I've sent these snapshots off to Stefan, along with the files that I thought might be necessary for these programs. This is going to be great for all of us, but a lot of work for Stefan. We all owe him a great deal, so take him out for a nice meal the next time you see him.

I don't want to make this any more complicated than it is, but for some programs, it just doesn't make any sense to install to the XDA memory. Most of the media players and "Misc" programs just take up too much unnecessary device memory when they would work just as well on the SD Card (if that's available).
The problem is that those huge programs require just a few small files to be placed on the device itself. So after installing a few of these types of programs, you've used up a lot of device memory from these small files, even though you installed the program to your SD Card.
Is there a way to alter the kitchen a bit to allow cooking of the necessary device files only, and allow the user to later install the program to the SD Card (being careful not to overwrite the files in ROM with files in RAM)?
For instance, with the TomTom program, if you start with a clean ROM and SD card, take a snapshot, then install the program to your SD card, then take another snapshot, you could determine what files need to be on the device, and what files don't need to be on the device, and allow users to either cook the entire program or just the necessary files in the ROM. (Note: This is a good example of a run-on sentence). Would this be a difficult feature to add to the kitchen?

Maybe the esiest Option is adding a new Select Point for the kitchen like "misc", "System Tools", "Phone" ....
This means having the programs double in the kitchen, but how cares.
I don't know exactly, but when you install a program to the SD-Card, could you select the part where to place it?
If yes, this could be a big problem. Many of the programs store the path in the registry.
If no, i could also provide a ZIP-file, where the rest of the programfiles are in, hust to unzip to the Storagecard.....

I believe this really depends on (1) how well the program was written, and (2) if you can install the program with CabInst (i.e. has a cab installation).
For example, I try to keep my SD Card organized and tidy so if I use CabInst I install the program to an appropriate folder on the SD Card. If I have to install the program from the desktop, I install the program to the SD Card root, then try to move the program to an appropriate folder and update the shortcut. Most of the time this works without even changing any registry entries, but sometimes it doesn't. Two examples from the above list of applications are AOL Instant Messenger 2.0 and Pocketmind PocketMusic 3.0. To function correctly, they both need to be in their original installation folders on the SD Card.
But perhaps the best solution would be to have an associated .zip file to go on the SD Card, as you suggested.
Shawn
Now the kitchen should be up 2 date again.
Only missing is PocketConsole and the Part "Software that needs to register"
So happy cooking and again Thx a lot to all users that helped me.....
Stefan
A Windows-way for cooking a ROM would be great for two reasons: 1) Don't hassle your server with lots of traffic and 2) Practical. Advanced users could cook a ROM without having a PC with Unix.
For example I tried cooking the Spanish version of the ROM and not all the programs I chose were installed and the worst thing is that the boot logo was just garbage, it was showing program code on the screen as a logo

Marton

Ok. Fixed the problem with the bootscreen.....
Tried also adding as much application, and all have been installed.
Can you tell me, what files / programs are missing?
No one else told me that there have been a problem wirth this ROM. I think it's because of the situation that most of the useres are using WM2003 ROMS....
You can also use the kitchen under "Windows" just have to set up a Cyguin environment on your system....
Also i didn't know how many Kitchen's are implemented by other users, but mine one is the only "official". You can't believe that everyone would be able to set it up.......
Stefan
Thanks Stefan!!!!!!
Now it seems to work but if EzWAP is selected, it throws a Log error when trying to cook...
Cheers,
Marton
P.S.: Do you know if a Spanish WM2003 exists?
Edit: This is the error:
Cannot fit files in given sections
Error splitting files
Just cooked a ROM... I selected the "Windows Mobile XDA" Boot Screen and now it is not garbage anymore but now it shows mirrored and upside down...
Any ideas?

Is there any program to automate install for multiple .cabs, so you can install all of them with just one installer?
I was thinking about this last night to restore apps after a hard reset, found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407885
Yep, try Sashimi for automated installs and more..
try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371832
thanks for the help
Thank you all, I'll go with Sashimi!
Sometimes you get hold of an exe file for an app to your phone.
Well I got hold of the name of the program that's responsible for those exes..
It's SetupCE
Can be downloaded free from a little bit everywhere
You can even make some ini's. I just use it for installing multiple cabs though.
Throw in some cabs in same folder as setupCE.exe and run it. Then you will recognize yourself if you ever installed a cab in exe form before.
Here's a link - http://www.brothersoft.com/setupce-137549.html
Hey guys,
Could someone point me in the direction of a good batch installer.
I've reflashed my phone and i don't want to spend 10 days reinstalling everything.
I tried using SDConfig.txt but it won't start.
I know there were some threads talking about this...but hey...the search feature didn't help.
Thanks
A very good question, I'd like to see what else beside SDconfig can be used. It's been rendered useless on Itje's newer ROMs.
see post#2 of the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509891
look for:
4- CAB batch installer by helloworld1: neat, small, smart app to automatically install all of your apps after a flash or hard reset
I did see that link since luck would have it ... I reflashed with that exact same rom
The reason why I didn't want to use that tools is
"Problems:
1. The small utility can not silently install cab files. "
For a batch installer I think that is A MAIN REQUIREMENT...
I have almost 40 cabs...using a "batch installer" thats waiting for each one to prompt me a confirmation is ludicrous...
Any other ideas?

I agree, it's important to have silent installation.
However, that would mean an override would need to be done so that each confirmation selection would install it to either the device or the storage memory.

Something like the SDConfig mechanism would be just fine.
Plus I rarely keep stuff on my SD Card anyway (besides Tom Tom that is...and even that doesn't need to be reinstalled - you can just copy a link to the start menu and you're done)
And what about Sashimi autoinstaller? Personally haven't use it. But I saw a post in BlueAngel's XDA forum wrote by red-hanks. It installs CAB, .REG., and .XML files.
Maybe this would be helpfull.
I think SKTools should be able to do it. Read the manual (http://s-k-tools.com/sktoolsm.pdf) on page 37. There you will find the command- line parameters for silent installation.
I recommend Sashimi Auto Installer. It does what you guys want.
You put all the cabs you want to install in the CAB Folder and then start the autoinstaller. It will go 1 by 1 and install. After it's all finished, it will ask you if you want to restart the phone. It will silently install the cabs (but still shows what it's installing currently), it just won't ask you anything until the end. This goes with registry edits as well and other files.

Sounds good. What does it do with CABs that require user input to finish installation? (For instance G-alarm, FingerKB etc.)
Thanks guys...this is exactly what I needed!

u can stick those ones in a "Manual" install mode in Sashimi. give it a go - looks confusing but it's incredibly flexible / powerful.
With the FingerKB, it would just popup the settings and wait for you to finish.. it will only continue once you have saved the settings.
I can't seem to find Sashimi Auto Installer - the top search result points to a thread with the first posts blank ("..........................") by a user that appears to have been banned?

I have successfully installed everything for the wp7 on my HD2..I have used the sideload apps with not many problems.. iheartradio is working, etc.. the problem I'm having is I don't fully understand how to hack the registry so that my phone will read as a HD7..so far its reading as LEO70.. i have some apps that are working but my netflix wont work and I cant find a YouTube that works... any suggestions? Thanks in advance...you guys are doing an awesome job with this.. I've gotten this far and I'm a total noob...(before a few weeks ago I didn't even know you could do this stuff)
Did you copy the custclear.prvxml file from Ringtones to Windows using XBModDeployer and TouchXplorer, and activate with MS key?
I think this changes the registry for you without regedit and lets you use HTC Hub apps and download them from Marketplace.
yes. i've installed both touchxplorer and an xbmod deployer and then copied and pasted the custclear.prvxml from the my documents/my ringtones folder to the windows folder but it still reads as leo70 and its activated already
Thats my knowledge all done then, I could e-mail you the zip file I downloaded, think thats done.
then i would probably have to flash wp7 again huh?? i read somewhere that you can only use your activation code 3 times and ive already used it twice so i want to make sure i know what the fix is for sure before activating it again! but thanks for trying!!
View attachment 514565 Not sure how this works but a zip file should be here somewhere, with the files I ran for ID.
There it is. In orange.
No I reflashed my phone 5 times yesterday, no jokes. Activation is good for your phone forever(ish).
You shouldn't need to reflash, just follow the guide from there on, apply all the .xaps, including the "Extras", I'm Pretty sure this is ID change, worked for me at least.
thanks..ill give it a try!!
and just to be sure...cuz im really knew at this.. i open the download and then what?? do i have to extract from a folder first or just deploy straight from the dowload??
What I did was to create a new Folder and unzip with WinZip to that folde, then more subfolders for each element, just to keep track of them.
When you are synced with Zune, run Chevron unlock and keep it open in the back ground. You wont need to re-install the cert.
Run Tom .xap Installer
Then install all the .xaps and copy / paste the file, run connection setup to install the pasted file.
Then check your ID, if its not HTC HD7 T9292, as mine is, then run the Extras bit, for phone reg tweaks.
Well I don't know what was different about your zip.pack but it worked!! I started with the Chevron, then did the TouchXplorer and XBMod Deployer, copied and pasted the custclear from my documents/my ringtones to windows on my phone and then did Connection Settings and sure enough my phone had changed to HTC HD2 T9292...netflix is working, apps are downloading from the marketplace!!! THANK YOU!!!!
hey once you move the custclear to windows then run the connection setup app and your phone will read hd7. the connection setup acts as a installer for custclear. as far as i understand. correct me if i am wrong.
